        <RULE_TITLE>General Nonprocurement Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[USDA published 7 CFR part 3015, Uniform Federal Assistance Regulations, in 1981 to establish and codify departmentwide policies and standards for administering grants and cooperative agreements to governmental and nongovernmental entities.  Since that time, the Office of Management and Budget has lead efforts to establish Governmentwide common rules for governmental and nongovernmental recipients of grants and cooperative agreements.  Consequently, over the years, USDA has codified its Governmentwide common rules in other parts of title 7 of the CFR.  This has resulted in corresponding amendments to part 3015 to revise its scope accordingly.  We are proposing to remove part 3015 and to add part 3020 to parts of title 7.  We are proposing to include other administrative requirements that were never codified. The alternative would be to continue to work with the disjointed, outdated part 3015.  Expected results are that the new part 3020 will be more clear and concise and will only contain those crosscutting requirements not included in other USDA departmentwide administrative regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposal would remove current regulation on this subject; place it in a new part; clarify that the regulation applies to all Department-conducted programs and activities; add familial status and marital status to the protected classes contained in the regulation; add a provision on Department agencies' compliance efforts; reflect that the Assistant Secretary for Administration has been delegated the authority to make final determinations as to whether prohibited discrimination occurred and the corrective action required to solve complaints; remove the appendix to the regulation that lists the Department programs subject to these provisions; and make other clarifications to the regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Cooperative State Research Education and Extension Service (CSREES) proposes to modify the Small Business Innovation Research Program Administrative Provisions by changing the language of when a Phase I awardee is eligible to apply for a Phase II award. Currently, a Phase I awardee may apply for a Phase II award in the next fiscal year funding cycle or the second fiscal year funding cycle. CSREES intends to revise this language to allow Phase I awardees to apply in either of the two fiscal years following the end of the initial project period; this does not include any no-cost extensions of time. This revision will allow an 18-month Phase I awardee the same privileges as that of a 6-month Phase I awardee. Privileges as used herein refers to the opportunity for a no-cost extension of time, if necessary, and two options of when a Phase I awardee may apply for a Phase II award.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Program To Provide Technical Assistance To Promote U.S. Agricultural Exports to Emerging Markets (Emerging Markets Progam)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to establish regulations applicable to the Emerging Marketing Program, currently authorized by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 and amended by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996.  The Emerging Markets Program currently operates under agency guidelines.  The proposed rule would amend and codify the existing guidelines.  Codification of the guidelines should not change program administration noticeably.  Because the program is already in operation under agency guidelines, this proposal would have no significant impact on the U.S. economy.

The proposed rule will provide specific regulations concerning program administration.  Significant provisions include definition of emerging market and country eligibility, program objectives and priorities, eligible organizations, qualification requirements, application and review processes, decisions and appeals, reimbursement rules and procedures, reporting requirements, evaluations, and program controls.]]></ABSTRACT>

U.S. producers of wheat gluten, who meet the eligibility requirements of the rule and submit the required market development plans, will receive an annual lump sum payment by CCC to conduct specific program activities aimed at facilitating the transition to value-added wheat gluten products for sale in the domestic market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Streamlining of the Farm Service Agency&apos;s Direct Farm Loan Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Service Agency (FSA) direct farm loan programs are still using the regulations and handbooks from the former Farmers Home Administration and still share many of its regulations, forms, and handbooks with the Rural Housing Service, Rural Utilities Service, and the Rural Business-Cooperative Services of the Rural Development Agency. This is very cumbersome and confusing to both Agency employees and the general public. This action will move all the direct farm loan program regulations from 7 CFR chapter 18 to 7 CFR chapter 7 and will allow FSA the opportunity to rewrite and re-engineer its direct farm loan program regulations. This action also consolidates a number of actions that were previously included in the regulatory agenda under separate RINs: 0560-AE04, 0560-AE07, 0560-AE09, 0560-AE11, 0560-AE13, 0560-AE14, 0560-AE15, 0560-AE37, 0560-AE87, 0560-AE88, 0560-AE90, 0560-AE98, and 0560-AE99.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action implements that Act and will re-write all the CFR parts governing warehouses.  This will make U.S. agriculture more competitive in both domestic and foreign markets through efficiencies and cost savings provided by today's computer technology and information management systems.

The Congress originally enacted the USWA in 1916, and amended it in 1919, 1923, and 1931.  However, since that time, the authorizing legislation for this program has seen little change.

The Warehouse Act of 2000 makes this program more relevant to today's agricultural marketing system.  The statute and its regulations authorize and standardize electronic documents and allow their transfer from buyer to seller across State and international boundaries.  This new paperless flow of agricultural commodities from farm gate to end-user will provide significant savings and efficiencies.

The new USWA allows federally licensed warehouse operators to issue electronic warehouse receipts for any approved agricultural product, an authority previously granted to cotton, as well as electronically transmit other business documents, such as grade and weight certificates, certificates, bills of lading, export evidence certificates, and business-related documents required by letters of credit.

The USWA is paid for through user fees. Therefore, implementation of the USWA is basically budget neutral statute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interest Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act authorizes the Farm Service Agency to establish and carry out an interest rate reduction program, which provides an interest subsidy for guaranteed loans.  The existing Interest Assistance Program is cumbersome and administratively expensive for lenders, causing many of them not to participate.  The lenders that do participate use it extensively for many of their clients, resulting in an unbalanced and regional use of the program, and not always for those producers most in need of the assistance.

Our proposal is to reduce administrative burden for the lender, with the elimination of the annual needs test, to encourage non-participating lenders to utilize the program.  We also propose to reduce the number of years that a producer can receive an interest subsidy and revise the way this is determined.  This reduced term will target the program to addressing short-term cash flow problems, and discourage use of the program for major expansion, capital improvements or other longer term purposes.

There will be no change in program funding.  However, some allocated funds will be redirected to reach producers more in need of assistance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Non-Recourse Cotton Loan and Loan Deficiency Payment Programs; Upland Cotton First Handler Marketing Certificate Program; and Seed Cotton Recourse Loan Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Changes are proposed to the regulations that implement the upland cotton non-recourse loan and loan deficiency payment (LDP) programs at 7 CFR 1427, subpart A. These changes are being proposed to improve the accuracy and timeliness of producer transactions and are not foreseen as changing the number of program applications or the total value of program outlays.  Rather, payment applications and loan settlements will be simply processed in less time, at less cost to the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and the cotton industry, and with a greater degree of accuracy.  Additional editorial changes to these regulations are included to improve the precision of the regulations.

	It also is proposed that regulations for the Upland Cotton First Handler Marketing Assistance Program at 7 CFR 1427, subpart B, be deleted because they no longer apply to the cotton program.  When the cotton marketing loan program was established, the statute limited the loan repayment rate to no less than 70 percent of the loan level.  If the world price fell below that minimum level, the difference between the world price and the minimum loan repayment level was to be payable with first handler marketing certificates provided by regulations at subpart B.  Because there is no longer any statutory minimum to the loan repayment rate, the regulations at 7 CFR 1427, subpart B are no longer needed.

	Finally, one change is proposed to 7 CFR 1427, subpart D, that adds an additional eligibility requirement for the seed cotton loan.

Expected Effects.

1.	Reduced administrative burden for loan repayments for both FSA and cotton merchants.

2.	Quicker release of loan collateral by CCC to the market.

3.	Reduced CCC outlays for classification information currently purchased  from the Agricultural Marketing Service to represent some cotton.  For the 2000 crop, CCC paid approximately $230,000 for classification information.  There could be a corresponding increase in outlays for classification information by ginners or warehouses that consistently have omitted this information from bale lists submitted to CCC.

4.	Purchase of software by about 25 ginners and purchase of hardware and software by 6 to 8 ginners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ocean Freight Claims Administrative Appeal Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will establish an administrative appeals procedure that would be used by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) with respect to ocean transportation cargo loss and damage claims arising under shipments of agricultural commodities made available by CCC under various foreign donation programs.  Whether or not title to the commodities has passed from CCC to a cooperating sponsor, which may be a foreign government, private voluntary organization, or private entity, CCC either retains the right or may be assigned the right to initiate, prosecute, and with certain limited exceptions retain the proceeds of cargo loss and damage claims.  This proposed rule sets forth the administrative appeal system to be used in resolving these claims.  The proposed rule would require that any recipient of CCC-donated commodities must include in the contract for the ocean transportation of the commodities a provision that the ocean carrier must agree to participate in this administrative appeal process.  

The current process requires CCC to file suit against ocean carriers in U.S. District Court to pursue claims that CCC is not able to settle through negotiations.  CCC currently does not have an established administrative appeal process to handle the internal review of these cargo claims before the claims are referred to the U.S. Department of Justice for collection through litigation.  The total amount of these claims is approximately $20 million including $10 million that has been referred to the Department of Justice.  Based upon a review of the programs under which these claims arise, CCC has determined that an administrative appeals system is necessary in order to: (1) Provide a more uniform treatment of these types of claims; (2) handle these types of claims in a manner that is more consistent with the manner in which other CCC claims are handled; and (3) ensure compliance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency has found that a Disaster Set Aside (DSA) (7 CFR part 1951, subpart T) is often used to correct defaults when the account should have been serviced under the delinquent account restructuring regulations in 7 CFR part 1951, subpart S, commonly referred to as "Primary Loan Servicing," (PLS).  Current regulations are not clear on when a DSA is not appropriate versus PLS.  When finalized, the rule approved under this workplan will amend the regulations under 7 CFR part 1951 to require that Primary Loan Servicing be considered before a loan default is corrected using a DSA.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Peanut Program, which includes the poundage quota, price support, and export policies, will result in gross outlays of $42.6 million that are expected to be offset by repayments and assessments in FY 2002 and subsequent years for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2002-Crop Marketing Quotas and Price Support Levels for Five Kinds of Tobacco</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Marketing quotas/acreage allotments and price support are required by statute for these kinds of tobacco: Fire-cured (type 21), Fire-cured (types 22-23), Dark Air-cured (types 35-36), Virginia sun-cured (type 37), and Cigar Filler and Binder (types 42-44 and 53-55).  Quotas and allotments are determined by statutory formula to balance supply with demand to assure stable supplies for domestic and export use.  Marketing quotas are implemented if approved by producers in referenda.  Producers approved quotas for the 2002 crops of fire-cured (types 21-23), dark air-cured (types 35-36) and sun-cured (type 37) in March 2001.  Cigar filler and binder (types 42-44 and 53-55) were approved in March 1999.  Price support levels are also set by statutory formula.  The Secretary may reduce the level at the request of producer associations, and may limit increases to 65 percent of the formula increase. Gross loan outlays of $1 million are expected in FY 2002, to be offset by loan redemptions and no-net-cost assessments in FY 2002 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Part 1946 Mediation; Subpart A--Agricultural Loan Mediation Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Legislation expanded the State Mediation Programs to include wetland determinations, conservation compliance, and other issues the Secretary deems appropriate. This action will establish procedures for certification and for administering the matching grant program, and set out the Department's duties to participate in such programs. The USDA Reorganization Act of 1994 requires mediation to be a part of the informal hearing process when an officer, employee, or committee of an agency makes an adverse decision. The legislation also requires certification of a State's Mediation Program in order to participate in mediation pursuant to a State's Certified Mediation Program and to enable a State to receive a Federal matching grant(s) to be used for the operation and administration of the program. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 1992 increased the percentage of grants to 70 percent from 50 percent of the cost of a State's program, limited to $500,000, whichever is the lesser. The Reorganization Act of 1994 extended the mediation program authority through fiscal year 2000.  The Grain Standards and Warehouse Improvement Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-472) re-authorizes the mediation program by extending it until 2005, clarifies that funds appropriated by Congress to the mediation program be used for farm credit cases, including USDA direct and guaranteed loans and loans from commercial entities, and stresses that mediation services can facilitate counseling services to prepare farmers prior to mediation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 142 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 7252) requires USDA, through the CCC, to offer recourse loans for dairy products beginning on January 1, 2000. The objective of the program is to assist processors in managing their inventories of eligible dairy products and thereby increase price stability for the dairy industry. The current regulations were promulgated as final without public review or comment, as mandated, as part of the implementation of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996. A notice of proposed rulemaking sought public review and comment on the terms and conditions of the dairy recourse loan program as currently provided in the regulations. Industry representatives have questioned the advisability of several provisions in the current regulation. No cost is expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This program will provide monetary assistance to eligible sheep and lamb producers who have recently experienced record low prices and poor market conditions due the recent surge of low-priced, imported lamb meat.  Lamb meat is being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of threat of serious injury to the domestic lamb meat industry.  During the first year of the program, benefits will be provided to eligible sheep and lamb producers throughout the United States based on the number of rams purchased, the number of sheep enrolled in the National Sheep Improvement Program, and the cost of lambing facility improvements during the period August 1, 1999, through July 31, 2000.  During the second and third year, benefits will be provided to eligible sheep and lamb producers throughout the United States based on the number of slaughter lamb and feeder lamb marketed, grade, weight, and muscling during the period August 1, 2000, through July 31, 2002.  The expected cost is $30 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

This modification is necessary because the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act amended the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to reduce the rate applicable to amortizations from the current Homestead Protection Program Rate (currently 6.5%) to 1 percent less than that rate.  No change in outlays is expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collecting Guaranteed Loss Payments From FSA Farm Loan Program Borrowers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will revise FSA regulations to provide that any amounts paid by FSA on account of a guaranteed loan borrower will constitute a Federal debt owed to FSA by the guaranteed loan borrower.  The rule will not affect any guaranteed borrowers who have had loss claims paid on their guaranteed loans at the present time.  Under the new rule, when farmers apply for a guaranteed loan, they will sign a loan application, which includes a section entitled "Federal Debt," in which they agree that any amounts paid by FSA on account of the liabilities of the guaranteed loan borrower will constitute a Federal debt owed to FSA by the guaranteed loan borrower.  In such cases, FSA may use all remedies available to it, including offset under the Debt Collection Improvement Act, to collect the debt from the borrower.  It will affect only those guaranteed borrowers who have a loss claim paid by FSA to the lender from whom they received a guaranteed loan.  Currently, there are approximately 40,000 guaranteed farm loan borrowers with 67,000 loans.  Approximately 1,200 loss claims are paid on guaranteed loans per year, and approximately 100 of those loans are discharged in bankruptcy, leaving approximately 1,100 loans that could be considered for offset.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tobacco Marketing Quotas, Cards, Penalty Provisions, Recordkeeping and Reporting</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend several sections of the tobacco marketing quota regulations to accommodate the implementation of an improved tobacco market reporting system, consisting mainly of non-auction receiving stations, which are common delivery points for non-auction purchases of flu-cured and burley tobacco.  The new reporting system is necessary because an extremely large percentage of the 2001 flue-cured and burley crops is expected to be sold non-auction through private contact arrangements.  The new system will allow for electronic reporting and paperwork reduction and will facilitate the tracking and monitoring of producer marketings, which will aid in assuring the integrity of the marketing quota system.  Receiving stations are technically dealers, but a system similar to the warehouse system is needed due to the large volume of transactions.  Warehouse operators and receiving stations will be given advance information through the flue-cured and burley tobacco designation programs as to the amount of tobacco that will be marketed and the farms from which the tobacco will be delivered.  Some cost-savings will accrue to producers, warehouses and receiving stations, and USDA due to more efficient collection of marketing information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2002-Crop Marketing Quota and Price Support Level for Burley Tobacco</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The burley tobacco marketing quota and price support are required by statute.  The purpose of the quota and price support is to balance supply with demand at levels assuring stable supplies for domestic and export use at prices that are considered sufficient for producers.  The national quota is based on cigarette manufacturers' intentions, 3-year average exports, a loan stocks adjustment, and a discretionary adjustment of plus or minus 3 percent.  The price support level is based on a formula that averages market prices (2/3 weight) and a cost index (1/3 weight), plus discretion to limit any increase to 65 percent of the formula increase.  Producers approved the program in a referendum for this kind of tobacco held in February 2001. Net receipts of $10 million in FY 2003 are expected to be offset by loan repayments and no-net-cost assessments in FY 2003 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2002-Crop Marketing Quota and Price Support Level for Flue-Cured Tobacco</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The flue-cured tobacco marketing quota and price support are required by statute.  The purpose of the quota and price support is to balance supply with demand at levels assuring stable supplies for domestic and export use at prices that are considered sufficient for producers.  The national quota is based on cigarette manufacturers' intentions, 3-year average exports, a loan stocks adjustment, and a discretionary adjustment of plus or minus 3 percent.  The price support level is based on a formula that averages market prices (2/3 weight) and a cost index (1/3 weight), plus discretion to limit any increase to 65 percent of the formula increase.  Growers approved the program in a referendum in January 2001. Net receipts of $10 million in FY 2002 and 2003 are expected to be offset by loan repayments and no-net-cost assessments in FY 2003 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>1999-Crop Marketing Quota and Price Support Level for Burley Tobacco</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The burley tobacco marketing quota and price support are required by statute. The purpose of the quota and price support is to balance supply with demand at levels assuring stable supplies for domestic and export use at prices that are considered sufficient for producers. The national quota is based on cigarette manufacturers' intentions, 3-year average exports, loan stocks adjustment, and a discretionary adjustment of plus or minus 3 percent. The price support level is based on a formula that averages market prices (2/3 weight) and a cost index (1/3 weight), plus discretion to limit any increase to 65 percent of the formula increase. Marketing quotas were approved by producers in a referendum in February 1998. Gross loan outlays of $31 million in FY 2000 are expected to be offset by loan repayments and no-net-cost assessments in FY 2000 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is amending the direct operating loan program application requirements for small loans under $20,000 to current FSA borrowers with total FSA indebtedness of less than $100,000 and for recurring annual operating loans to existing borrowers. The amendment will streamline the application process for those loans but will not change the eligibility requirements. This change will not impact the number of farmers eligible for FSA loans nor the dollar amount of loans made by FSA. This abbreviated application will result in more efficient application processing by field office employees. This amendment will not increase losses for the Agency. Farmers eligible for this lo-doc loan will be served in a more efficient and timely manner while keeping them in business, thus minimizing losses to the Government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Streamlining of the Emergency Farm Loan Program Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a result of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1999, the requirement that the portion of an emergency loan secured by repayment ability will be repaid in 3 years has been eliminated. The Agency needs to remove this language from 7 CFR part 1945, subpart D, and establish new regulations for securing loans using repayment ability. This action will increase the number of producers who will be able to obtain emergency loans while allowing the Agency to protect its interest when securing loans using the applicant's repayment ability as collateral.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Conservation Reserve Program Regulations Regarding Land Eligibility</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of the CRP is to assist farmers and ranchers in conserving soil, water, and wildlife resources by converting highly erodible and other environmentally sensitive acreage to long-term, resource-conserving cover. The authorizing statute permits farmers and ranchers to enroll "cropland" and "marginal pastureland" into the CRP, but does not define those terms. Current CRP regulations limit cropland enrollment to lands where crops have been produced by annual tilling of the soil, plus sugar cane or other multi-year grasses and legumes, in two out of the most recent five cropping seasons. This definition precludes certain lands with high environmental values from being considered for enrollment in the program. This rule would expand the definition of eligible land to permit orchards, vineyards, and certain other agricultural lands to be considered for enrollment in the CRP. The overall cost of the CRP is not expected to increase; in fact, costs could decrease as a result of increased competition among a larger land base for enrollment into the CRP, which is limited by statute to 36.4 million acres.  The rule also makes a technical amendment to the regulations regarding the use of private-sector technical assistance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2000-Crop Peanuts National Poundage Quota, National Average Loan Rates for Quota and Additional Peanuts and Minimum Export-Edible Sales Price for Additional Peanuts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The objective of the peanut quota is to balance supply with demand at a level that will assure stable supplies for domestic use and assure producers a stable income. This action is required by statute, which provides a formula for computing the national quota, based on the Secretary's estimate of the amount of peanuts required for domestic food and related uses for the 2000 marketing year. The 2000 marketing year is from August 1, 2000, through July 31, 2001.

The action is also needed to implement the peanut price support program, as required by statute. The price support levels provide a domestic price floor for quota and additional peanuts and a minimum export-edible sales price for additional peanuts.

The Peanut Program, which includes the poundage quota, price support, and export policies, will result in gross outlays of $55 million, which are expected to be offset by repayments and assessments in FY 2000 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The flue-cured tobacco marketing quota and price support are required by statute. The purpose of the quota and price support is to balance supply with demand at levels assuring stable supplies for domestic and export use at prices that are considered sufficient for producers. The national quota is based on cigarette manufacturers' intentions, 3-year average exports, loan stocks adjustment, and a discretionary adjustment of plus or minus 3 percent. The price support level is based on a formula that averages market prices (2/3 weight) and a cost index (1/3 weight), plus discretion to limit any increase to 65 percent of the formula increase. Marketing quotas were approved by producers in a referendum in January 1998. Gross loan outlays of $25 million in FY 2000 and 2001 are expected to be offset by loan repayments and no-net-cost assessments in FY 2000 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disaster Set-Aside Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is amending the disaster set-aside program requirement to allow farm borrowers to set aside portions of payments that could not be made as scheduled due to a natural disaster as declared by the President or Secretary of Agriculture between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 1999, or because of the adverse economic conditions and low commodity prices which were determined to have occurred in 1999. Applications for economic disaster set-aside must be received on or before August 31, 2000. Also, those borrowers who have loans with set-aside payments as of the publication date of this regulation may set aside a second payment on the same loans if determined eligible based on criteria established by this rule. To receive consideration for a second set-aside due to a natural disaster, the borrower's request must be received within 8 months from the date of the disaster designation, in accordance with FmHA Instruction 1945-A. These provisions will allow the Agency to serve farmers who have experienced losses due to a natural disaster or adverse economic conditions in an efficient and timely manner while helping them stay in business. This rule will not increase losses for the Agency. Disaster or economically distressed farmers will be served in an efficient and timely manner while keeping them in business and thus minimizing losses to the Government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of Non-Auction Tobacco</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend the tobacco marketing quota regulations to provide that when flue-cured tobacco producers make their warehouse designations, as required for price support, they must indicate the amount that will be sold auction or non-auction. The identification of non-auction intentions will prevent warehouses from getting credit for sale time that is unnecessary. This rule is expected to have minimal economic impact but will result in a more orderly process of marketing tobacco.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements agricultural disaster and market assistance provisions of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2000 (Pub. L. 106-78) and the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2000 (Pub. L. 106-113). This action will implement the statutory provisions related to cottonseed market loss, a competitiveness program for Extra-Long Staple (ELS), warehouse-stored tobacco loss assistance, pasture recovery, oilseeds marketing loss, emergency assistance for Harney County, Oregon, and livestock disaster assistance for contract growers. It will also finalize existing regulations for the Livestock Indemnity and American Indian Livestock Feed Programs and reorganize 7 CFR part 1439, Emergency Livestock Assistance, to remove obsolete regulations.  The provisions of the rule related to ELS cotton in the June 8, 2000, rule were issued as interim, with a request for public comments, and will be separately completed with a final rule.  The other provisions in the June 8 rule were issued as final and were effective immediately.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will provide revised regulations for the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) that would: 1) Clarify that assistance can be made available for certain measures dealing with confined livestock; 2) assure special consideration for limited resource producers; 3) provide for a 60-percent cost-share rate to be applied to all costs associated with the practice rather than the 3-tiered model currently used, to avoid confusion and make the program easier to administer; and 4) include the "per person" maximum payment limitation of $200,000 that has previously only been in appropriation bills.  This action will also remove regulations for the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP), for which authority was repealed by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996.  Many of the practices performed under the ACP are now administered through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) jointly administered by NRCS and FSA.  And, this action will remove regulations for the Forestry Incentive Program (FIP) because the program was reassigned from FSA to NRCS under provisions of the Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, 7 U.S.C. 6912, and is no longer administered under 7 CFR part 701.  No additional costs are expected from this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2001-Crop Marketing and Price Support Levels for Five Kinds of Tobacco</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Marketing quotas/acreage allotments and price support are required by statute for these kinds of tobacco: Fire-cured (type 21), fire-cured (types 22-23), dark air-cured (types 35-36), Virginia sun-cured (type 37), and cigar filler and binder (types 42-44 and 53-55).  Quotas and allotments are determined by statutory formula to balance supply with demand to assure stable supplies for domestic and export use.  Marketing quotas are implemented if approved by producers in referenda.  Producers approved quotas for the 2001 crops of fired-cured (types 21-23), dark air-cured (types 35-36), and cigar filler and binder (types 42-44 and 53-55) in March 1998 and 1999.  A referendum for sun-cured (type 37) is scheduled for March 2001.  Producers of these types have historically voted in favor of quotas.  Price support levels are set by statutory formula.  The Secretary may reduce the level at the request of producer associations and may limit increases to 65 percent of the formula increase. Gross loan outlays of $1 million are expected in FY 2002, to be offset by loan redemptions and no-net-cost assessments in FY 2002 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The objective of the peanut quota is to balance supply with demand at a level that will assure stable supplies for domestic use and assure producers of a stable income.  This action is required by statute, which provides a formula for computing the national quota, based on the Secretary?s estimate of the amount of peanuts required for domestic food and related uses for the 2001 marketing year.  The 2001 marketing year is from August 1, 2001, through July 31, 2002.  The program, which includes the poundage quota, price support, and export policies, will result in gross outlays of $42.6 million that are expected to be offset by repayments and assessments in FY 2002 and subsequent years, for a net cost 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 755 of the Act authorized the Secretary to provide equitable relief to an owner or operator that has entered into a contract and is subsequently determined to be in violation of the contract, if the owner or operator in attempting to comply with the terms of the contract and enrollment requirements took actions in good faith reliance on the action or advice of an authorized representative of the Secretary.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 841 of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001 requires the Secretary to make payments to each person who owns or operates, or produces eligible tobacco on, a farm for which the quota was reduced from the 1999 to the 2000 crop year, without regard to the program's requirement under its original statute that the farm be used for production during the 2000 crop year.  This will make payments available to producers who had been denied benefits because they did not use their quota during 2000.  Payments to an eligible person shall be in the same amount as were made to an eligible person in the earlier program.  This action will also implement the provisions of Public Law 106-224 regarding the lease, transfer, and sale of burley tobacco marketing quotas and allotments.  These provisions are exempt from the public notice requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 and will be issued as final.  The expected cost is less than $5 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

Therefore, the Agency intends to begin charging applicants and borrowers (those currently indebted to USDA, FSA) a portion of the fee associated with real estate appraisals.  This action, when approved, will conform to lending practices currently in use by commercial agricultural lenders.  The expected cost to the public is expected to be about $2.3 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of 30-Day Past-Due Period for Farm Loan Program Borrowers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, borrowers are considered "past due" for the first 30 days after a missed Farm Loan Program (FLP) payment and are then "delinquent."  This is not consistent with the terminology used by Farm Programs (FP), which considers borrowers "delinquent" immediately after a missed payment.  This action will eliminate the 30-day past due period prior to delinquency.  In addition to clarification and consistency, this change would allow FLP borrowers to receive debt write-down on the day after a missed payment, assuming all other primary loan servicing criteria are met, instead of waiting 31 days.  This change will also clarify the use of the word delinquent with regard to all servicing and offsets.  The rule will not affect the statutorily required "90 days past due" criteria that is currently used to determine the onset of primary loan servicing. This rule will not significantly affect costs for either the government or borrowers.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is a recommendation of the Burley Tobacco Advisory Committee and will establish a Grower Designation Program for burley tobacco similar to a program for flue-cured tobacco that has been in operation since 1974.  The purpose of the program will to be to improve the marketing of burley tobacco by enabling more efficient staffing of warehouses with warehouse employees and government inspectors.  Designation of burley tobacco is expected to take place June 1, 2001, through August 1, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Regulations for Determining Acreage for Skip-Row Cotton</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the regulations for determining acreage for acreage-based program payments such as crop insurance and disaster payments.  Program regulations provide that cotton acreage planted in a "skip-row" pattern should be factored when determining program payments.  The current regulations defining skip rows allows some producers to take advantage of the provisions and devise cotton planting patterns that are considered solidly planted, and thus inflate their program payment acreage.  This rule will close that loophole. Program payments using acreage determinations based on skip-row planting patterns will be more equitably distributed and crop insurance payments will be more accurate.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Farm Service Agency will provide a direct payment to producers of small hog operations if they marketed fewer than 1,000 hogs during the last 6 months of 1998, are in operation during the time of signup, did not market the hogs under fixed-price or cost-plus contracts, and whose operation or producer did not exceed gross income of $2.5 million during 1998. If applications exceed $50 million, a national factor will be used to reduce each payment so that the national total is no more than $50 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sugar Payment-In-Kind (PIK) Diversion Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sugar Program costs may increase because the FY 2001 Appropriations Act requires that CCC offer nonrecourse loans, which provide processors with the option of forfeiting sugar pledged as collateral.  Processors may continue to exercise this option given the outlook for continued excess supply of sugar in domestic markets, a 793,000-ton, raw value, CCC sugar inventory, and the absence of a CCC inventory disposal plan.  The risk, magnitude, and cost of potential forfeitures would be reduced if the Secretary has the ability, by means of a Sugar PIK Diversion Program, to replace sugar on the domestic market made from harvested sugar beets with sugar from CCC's inventory.  A Sugar PIK Diversion Program would help restore balance to the sugar market and reduce CCC's sugar acquisition and storage costs.  Without implementation of this Program, domestic sugar supplies are expected to exceed domestic demand requirements, leaving prices at low levels and increasing the likelihood of a second consecutive year of forfeitures in FY 2001.  These forfeitures of sugar would increase CCC's current monthly storage costs of almost $1.4 million.

This option would enable the Secretary to achieve savings of $6.66 million annually based on the results of the FY 2000 PIK Diversion Program.  The FY 2000 PIK Program produced a $555,000 reduction in monthly CCC storage costs and diverted about 7 percent of sugarbeet acreage from production.  Reintroduction of the PIK Program in FY 2001 has received encouragement from growers and processors, who strongly supported the FY 2000 PIK Diversion Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Administrative Regulations; Nonstandard Underwriting Classification System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Nonstandard Underwriting Classification System (NCS):  NCS was criticized by producers and their representatives for several years and became a major issue with the repetitive floods in the upper Midwest and multi-year droughts in the Southwest.  Complaints included claims that the NCS procedures: 1) Did not adequately exclude widespread causes of loss (disaster adjustment); 2) failed to recognize diverse conditions within a county; 3) unfairly hit new or struggling producers caught by repetitive disasters; and 4) set too high a premium for those producers listed.  Additionally, administration of the NCS process was complicated, sometimes subjective, and labor intensive.

The Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that was published in the Federal Register in September 1997 sought comments from the public on options to improve NCS.  Twenty-two comments were received in response to the advanced notice.  RMA decided to replace NCS with a process that charged appropriate rates for those producers with adverse loss experience and less than average production histories.

RMA examined increasing premium rates based on producers' lower APH yields and using a surcharge based on use of the yield floor (or some other identifiable indicator of adverse experience) to determine if these measures would adequately address the need to increase premiums for those producers with the most adverse loss histories based on the frequency and severity of losses.  After reviewing past NCS experience on the existing book of business, it was determined that appropriate rate increases for those producers whose APH yields were less than average would compensate entirely for the elimination of NCS. 

RMA implemented the following actions to accomplish the goal of replacing NCS beginning with the 1999 crop year:

-- Removed and reserved the current NCS regulation (7 CFR part 400, subpart O) by publishing a proposed rule in the Federal Register.  The final rule is pending clearance, however the Agency proceeded with the process and has waived NCS since 1999.

-- Developed and implemented appropriate rate adjustments to offset the removal of NCS.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule is withdrawn.  Written agreements will be included in the Common Crop Insurance Regulations; Basic Provisions and General Administrative Regulations; Subpart T; Regulations for Implementation (0563-AB85).  The draft proposed rule stage is currently in the clearance process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is part of a reinvention laboratory initiative of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Business-Cooperative Service. The regulations will be written in a "plain language" style. The regulation will be simpler and improve the ease of use by the public and program beneficiaries. The regulation will be written in a question and answer format from the perspective of questions from the applicant under this program. The regulations will simplify the application format, review and selection process, and recipient's recordkeeping requirements. It will also add a section on the appeal of adverse decisions. The comment period on the proposed rule ended February 14, 2000. The Agency received 28 written comments. The Agency conducted a meeting, which was open to the public on August 2, 2000, to allow the Agency to listen to oral presentations from the general public on the proposed rule. The Agency will respond to the comments made at the meeting in the preamble to the final rule as part of the rulemaking processing under the Administrative Procedures Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will incorporate the requirement for housing-related projects (such as apartment buildings, nursing homes, group homes, and assisted living type facilities) to develop an Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan (plan) when receiving funding from the Intermediary Relending Program, Rural Business Enterprise Grant Program, Rural Business Opportunity Grant Program, Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Programs, and the Business and Industry Direct and Guaranteed Loan Programs. The plan will describe strategies to attract applications from all groups in a housing market area and efforts to reach those persons in the market area who traditionally would not be expected to apply for housing. The Rural Housing Service Multifamily Housing Program regulations currently include this borrower requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

These regulations contain very limited direction in direct B&I loanmaking. The Agency is writing new regulations to replace the instructions for direct loanmaking and servicing. This program will complement the Agency's existing guaranteed (B&I) loan program.  Further development of this regulation is on hold.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A new definition of rural and rural area for programs financed under the Rural Community Advancement Program was contained in the 1996 Farm Bill, Public Law 104-127. The new definition made numerous areas that were considered rural not eligible.  The Fiscal Year 2000 Appropriation Bill, Public Law 106-387, section 730 provided for fiscal year 2000 and thereafter definitions of rural areas for certain business programs administered by the Rural Business-Cooperative Service and the community facilities programs administered by the Rural Housing Service shall be those provided for in statute and regulations prior to the enactment of Public Law 104-127.  Congress has requested the Department to work with them in developing a new definition. The definition applies to the Business and Industry Direct and Guaranteed Loan Programs, Rural Business Enterprise Grant Program, Rural Business Opportunity Grant Program, and the Community Facilities Guaranteed Direct and Grant Programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Settlement of Debt</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) proposes to amend its debt settlement procedures to allow its Administrator to modify the requirements borrowers must meet to receive debt settlements.  Currently, all borrowers must meet the same requirements regardless of the amount of debt or other circumstances.  The intent of the proposed change is to facilitate debt settlements where the RUS Administrator determines that the Government's interest in the debt can still be protected without having the borrower meet each of the current requirements.  Such determinations would be made on a case by case basis.  While the change is expected to improve the efficiency of debt settlements, it is not intended to alter the basic outcome of such settlements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is proposing to amend 7 CFR part 1755, Telecommunications System Construction Contract and Specifications, to revise RUS Form 515, Telecommunications System Construction Contact (Labor and Materials). This contract form is used by borrowers to secure the services of a contractor for the construction of telecommunications facilities, which include outside plant construction, including direct buried plant, underground plant, aerial plant, and customer access installations. Because of advancements made in construction installation methods and materials, the present form of the contract and the associated specifications (RUS Bulletins 345-150, Specifications and Drawings for Construction of Direct Buried Plant; 345-151, Specifications and Drawings for Construction of Underground Plant; 345-152, Specifications and Drawings for Construction of Aerial Plant, and 345-153, Specifications and Drawings for Service Installations at Customer Access Locations) have become outdated. To allow borrowers and contractors to take advantage of these improved construction installation methods and materials, the current contract form and associated specifications are revised.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Recent changes in the telecommunications industry, including deregulation and technological development, have caused RUS borrowers and other organizations providing telecommunications services to consider undertaking projects that provide new telecommunications services and other telecommunications services not ordinarily financed by RUS.  To facilitate services, RUS is willing to consider accommodating the Government's lien on telecommunications borrowers' systems in an expedited manner based on the financial strength of the borrowers operations.  This will help enable RUS telecommunications providers to compete in an expanding number of telecommunications services that may be critical to their financial strength and stability.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is amending its regulations to eliminate the requirement that a borrower maintain a current ratio, equal to or greater than one, immediately following a cash distribution.  RUS believes the requirement that a borrower maintain a current ratio, greater than or equal to one, following a cash distribution severely restricts the borrower's ability to independently manage cash flow.  The elimination of this requirement will provide borrowers additional flexibility as they manage cash flow and determine when to declare or pay dividends, pay or determine to pay any patronage refunds, retire any patronage capital, or make any other cash distributions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Civil Rights Compliance Requirements--1901-E to 1940-D</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This ruling will effectuate a comprehensive civil rights regulation implementing the following laws: The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA); title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (The Fair Housing Act); section 504 Federally Conducted and Federally Assisted Programs; title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; Age Discrimination Act of 1975; and Executive Orders 11246 and 12898 (Environmental Justice). The revised regulations will provide detailed guidelines for field offices for improved enforcement and compliance with these laws, which heavily impact the Agency's programs. Mechanisms for monitoring compliance by field offices and recipients of Federal financial assistance at all levels will decrease the Agency's vulnerability that exist due to noncompliance with recently enacted Civil Rights legislation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service proposes to consolidate regulations pertaining to section 515 Rural Rental Housing, section 514 Farm Labor Housing Loans, section 516 Farm Labor Housing Grants, and section 521 Rental Assistance Payments. Fourteen published regulations will be reduced to one regulation and handbooks for program administration. This will simplify loan origination and portfolio management for applicants, borrowers, and housing operators as well as Rural Development field staff. This will also provide flexibility for program modifications to reflect current and foreseeable changes. It will also reduce regulations that address solely internal Agency program administration. Finally, the regulation will be more customer friendly and responsive to the needs of the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service reopened the comment period on four sections of this regulation seeking potential changes to the definition of modest housing and calculation of payment subsidies.  The Agency has reviewed comments and will be publishing minor corrections and clarifications in the existing regulation.  In addition, the Agency will provide an updated definition of modest housing moving away from reliance on the section 203(b) mortgage limits set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.  The Agency will use more localized data and provide clearer guidance to ensure compliance with our mission to finance housing that is decent, safe, sanitary, and modest.  No changes in the payment subsidy are anticipated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Environmental Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The objective of this action is to replace the existing environmental regulation and to implement changes to streamline the environmental process for the Rural Housing Service (RHS) and the Rural Business Service (RBS); to include changes necessitated by amendments to various environmental laws, Executive orders, and regulations applicable to the two agencies; to clarify wording; correct inconsistencies; and where applicable, to delete obsolete material and update references in other program regulations. This revision represents an important contribution to the Department's efforts to streamline its operations and realize more efficient use of staff time. There are a number of Federal environmental statutes which govern the management of hazardous substances, materials, and wastes. At the present time, RHS and RBS do not have implementing regulations for these Federal statutes. The development of implementation procedures for managing hazardous substances is necessary to insure consistency in compliance with Federal, as well as State, environmental statutes; to develop appropriate "due diligence" policies to ensure that the market value of real estate being considered as security for financial assistance adequately reflects potential contamination from hazardous waste; and to minimize the Agencies' liability with regard to environmental cleanups of hazardous waste in loan processing/servicing and property management activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Wetland Categorical Minimal Effects Exemptions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 1985 Farm Bill, as amended, gives producers a major incentive to conserve wetlands by tying eligibility for most USDA program benefits to conservation of wetlands. However, producers can convert wetlands based on available exemptions, including a minimal effect exemption. A minimal effect applies if the action, individually and cumulatively, will have minimal effect on the functional hydrological and biological value of the wetlands in the area. A categorical minimal effect is one that, when carried out, will always have a minimal effect on the hydrologic and biological functions of wetlands in the area. These activities will be identified on a regional basis.]]></ABSTRACT>

In fact, grazing land constitutes the single largest watershed cover type in the United States and contributes significantly to the quality and quantity of water for all of the many uses in the watershed. Congress recognized the importance of grazing lands in subtitle H, section 386, of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 by authorizing the Secretary to provide a coordinated technical, educational, and related assistance program to conserve and enhance private grazing lands.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Soil erosion and its results, including damage to water quality and air quality, loss of productive capacity of the land, and offsite damages, is caused in part by inadequate or inappropriate systems. Loss of wetlands due to conversion for agricultural production destroys wildlife habitat, reduces the lands ability to slow runoff, and affects water quality and quantity. The 1985 Food Security Act required producers who farm highly erodible land to do so by using a conservation system that controls erosion at an acceptable amount and requires producers to not convert and produce crops on the areas, in order to remain eligible for most USDA program benefits. This Act gave producers a major incentive to conserve wetlands and to install conservation practices on the country's most fragile lands. The 1996 Farm Bill refines these requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Animal Welfare:  Marine Mammals; Nonconsensus Language and Interactive Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates the treatment of certain marine mammals under the Animal Welfare Act. The present standards for treatment of these animals have been in effect for over 10 years. During this time, advances have been made and new information has been developed with regard to the housing and care of marine mammals. We intend to develop amendments to the marine mammal standards on which consensus was not reached during negotiated rulemaking conducted between September 1995 and July 1996. The amendments would be to standards affecting variances, indoor facilities, outdoor facilities, space requirements, and water quality, as well as swim-with-the-dolphins programs. These actions appear necessary to ensure that the minimum standards for the humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of marine mammals in captivity are based on current general, industry, and scientific knowledge and experience.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Plant Pest Regulations; Update of Current Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS is undertaking rulemaking to amend its plant pest regulations by: (1) Setting out the criteria that will be used by APHIS when considering whether an organism is a plant pest; (2) adding a permit category for organisms that would be released into the environment for purposes such as the biological control of weeds; (3) establishing a notification system that could be used in place of permits for the importation and interstate movement of regulated organisms; and (4) revising or amending existing portions of the regulations to clarify or update requirements, eliminate redundancy, and make the regulations easier for the public to use. This action will serve as a follow-up to the advance notice of proposed rulemaking that APHIS published in the Federal Register on September 27, 1996, to solicit input on the need for regulatory changes and alternative methods of addressing plant pest risk.]]></ABSTRACT>

Ionizing energy would be allowed as an alternative to mitigation measures that are required to control certain species of fruit flies in a variety of imported fruits and vegetables. If this proposal is adopted, importers of certain fruits and vegetables will have an additional alternative to the currently approved treatments, such as fumigation and cold treatment, for treating their articles. No net societal gains and losses other than small price-related changes are expected from this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Solid Wood Packing Material</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS is undertaking rulemaking to strengthen restrictions on the importation of solid wood packing material (e.g., crates, dunnage, wooden spools, pallets, packing blocks) into the United States. Imported solid wood packing material (SWPM) has been linked to introductions of exotic plant pests, such as the pine shoot beetle and the Asian longhorned beetle. These and other plant pests that could be carried by imported SWPM pose a serious threat to U.S. agriculture and to natural, cultivated, and urban forests. SWPM accompanies nearly all types of imported commodities, from fruits and vegetables to machinery and electrical equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Blood and Tissue Collection at Livestock Slaughtering Establishments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are considering establishing requirements for the collection of blood and tissue samples from livestock (horses, cattle, bison, sheep, and swine) and poultry at slaughter establishments when it is necessary for disease surveillance. Under this proposal, any person who moves an animal interstate for slaughter could only move the animal to a slaughter establishment that has been approved by the Administrator.  The Administrator would approve a slaughter establishment after determining that it is not necessary to conduct testing at the establishment or determining that it is necessary to conduct testing at the establishment and the establishment provides space and facilities to collect blood and tissue samples for disease testing.  This collection of blood and tissue samples would enable us to identify animals at slaughter that are affected by various communicable diseases.  This change would affect persons moving animals interstate for slaughter, slaughter plants that receive animals in interstate commerce, and in cases where an animal that tests positive can be successfully traced back to its herd or flock of origin, the owners of such herds or flocks.  The long-term effects of this change would be to improve surveillance programs for animal diseases and to contribute to the eventual control or eradication of such diseases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently APHIS does not require a phytosanitary certificate to accompany fruits and vegetables imported into the United States except for certain fruits and vegetables grown in designated foreign regions.  This proposed rule would amend our regulations to require that a phytosanitary certificate accompany all fruits and vegetables imported into the United States, with certain exceptions.  This proposal would include commercial produce imported into the United States, as well as fruits and vegetables brought in by travelers.  We would exempt from this requirement fruits and vegetables that are dried, cured, frozen, or processed, as well as fruits and vegetables that travelers and shoppers bring into the United States for personal use through land ports-of-entry located along the Canadian and Mexican borders.  If implemented, this proposal would require changes in the practices of importers and travelers who bring produce into the United States from other countries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bees, Beekeeping Byproducts, and Beekeeping Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise the regulations for the importation of honeybees and honeybee semen. Among other things, we propose to allow, under certain conditions, the importation into the United States of honeybees from Australia and honeybees and honeybee germ plasm from New Zealand. We also propose changes to make these regulations more consistent with standards established by the Office International des Epizooties, to update them to reflect current research and terminology, and to simplify them and make them more useful.

In addition, we propose to combine the regulations for the importation of honeybees and honeybee semen with the regulations established to prevent the introduction of exotic bee diseases and parasites through the importation of bees other than honeybees, certain beekeeping byproducts, and used beekeeping equipment. This change would make the regulations more useful by consolidating all of the requirements related to the importation of bees, beekeeping byproducts, and used beekeeping equipment into one part.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Salmonella Enteritidis Phage-Type 4; Remove Import Restrictions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to amend the regulations to remove import restrictions on eggs (other than hatching eggs) of poultry, game birds, and other birds from regions where Salmonella enteritidis phage-type 4 exists. Previously, Salmonella enteritidis phage-type 4 had not been isolated in the United States; therefore, those import restrictions were necessary to help prevent Salmonella enteritidis phage-type 4 from being introduced into this country. However, Salmonella enteritidis phage-type 4 is now known to be present in the United States. This proposed rule would eliminate unnecessary trade restrictions on other regions where Salmonella enteritidis phage-type 4 exists.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[APHIS has recently reviewed these regulations to determine their sufficiency should an occurrence of foot-and-mouth disease occur in the United States. This review has been prompted, in part, by the series of outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease that have taken place in the United Kingdom and elsewhere around the world. Based on this review, APHIS has determined that changes to the regulations are needed with regard to the valuation of animals and materials, as well as the payment of an indemnity to those persons who suffer loss of property as a result of foot-and-mouth disease.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Secretary of Agriculture, either independently or in cooperation with States or political subdivisions, farmers' associations and similar organizations, and individuals, is authorized to control and eradicate any communicable diseases of livestock or poultry and contagious or infectious diseases of animals that, in the opinion of the Secretary, constitute an emergency and threaten the livestock industry of the country, including the payment of claims growing out of destruction of animals (including poultry), and of materials affected by or exposed to any such disease, in accordance with such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe (21 U.S.C. 114a).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The proposed rule would comprise several regulatory changes, each of which is intended to facilitate the control and eradication of foot-and-mouth disease, should an outbreak of this disease occur in the United States. Reasonable alternatives to the proposed rule would be to (1) not make any changes at all or (2) to provide alternative levels of compensation.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule is expected to affect livestock operations and Federal and State government agencies. The vast majority of livestock operations are small entities. The potential costs and benefits would depend upon the degree of compensation provided should a compensation alternative be chosen.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The changes contained in the proposed rule would be particularly important in facilitating early and effective intervention should an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease occur in the United States. An effective response in the early stages of such an outbreak greatly reduces the risk of the disease's wider dissemination.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[CWD has been confirmed in free-ranging deer and elk in a limited number of counties in northeastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming and has also been diagnosed in farmed elk herds in South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Montana, and Colorado. The proposed rule is intended to prevent the spread of, and perhaps eliminate altogether, CWD in farmed elk herds in the United States. APHIS believes that establishing restrictions on the interstate movement of infected and exposed farmed elk, coupled with the payment of some level of indemnity for infected and exposed animals, will encourage elk producers who are not yet engaging in surveillance activities to begin doing so. To date, the level of support from States and the farmed elk industry for such a program has been high. Without a Federal program in place to depopulate infected and exposed animals, the movement of infected elk into new herds and States with no known infection will continue or may even accelerate. APHIS needs to take action to document the prevalence of the disease and to prevent its further spread.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Secretary of Agriculture, either independently or in cooperation with States or political subdivisions, farmers' associations and similar organizations, and individuals, is authorized to control and eradicate any communicable diseases of livestock or poultry and contagious or infectious diseases of animals that, in the opinion of the Secretary, constitute an emergency and threaten the livestock industry of the country, including the payment of claims growing out of destruction of animals (including poultry), and of materials affected by or exposed to any such disease, in accordance with such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe (21 U.S.C. 114a).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[APHIS has identified two alternatives to the proposed rule. The first--to maintain the status quo--was rejected because it would not address the animal disease risks associated with CWD. The second option would have been to provide financial and technical assistance to the elk industry for continuation and expansion of a variety of herd management practices to reduce or eliminate CWD. Although this option may be less costly than the option chosen by APHIS (i.e., the proposed rule), this option was not selected because it would not advance CWD eradication as quickly or effectively as the chosen option. However, APHIS will continue to work with industry to develop voluntary herd management practices to preserve and increase the reduction in CWD levels that the proposed program is expected to achieve.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The presence of CWD in elk causes significant economic and market losses to U.S. producers. Recently Canada has begun to require, as a condition for importing U.S. elk into Canada, that the animals be accompanied by a certificate stating that the herd of origin is not located in Colorado or Wyoming, and CWD has never been diagnosed in the herd of origin. The Republic of Korea recently suspended the importation of deer and elk and their products from the United States and Canada. The domestic prices for elk are severely affected by fear of CWD; it is extremely difficult for producers to sell elk that are associated with any hint of exposure to CWD.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Aggressive action in controlling this disease now will decrease the chance of having to deal with a much larger, widespread, and costly problem later, such as the situation with bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("mad cow disease") in Europe. Although there is currently no evidence that CWD is linked to disease in humans, or in domestic animals other than deer and elk, a theoretical risk of such a link exists.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Fuji Apples From the Republic of Korea</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the regulations that allow Fuji variety apples to be imported into the United States. It would allow Fuji variety apples to be imported from the Republic of Korea under a systems approach, including strict cultural control conditions, from certified orchards. This action is in response to a request from the Republic of Korea. We reviewed scientific studies and data on the Republic of Korea's pest management practices in export orchards and believe that the conditions to which the importation of Fuji variety apples from certified orchards in the Republic of Korea would be subject would reduce the risk of pest introduction to a negligible level.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Unshu Oranges</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to amend the regulations governing the importation of citrus fruit to allow, under certain conditions, Unshu oranges grown on Kyushu Island, Japan, to be imported into the United States. We are also proposing to amend the regulations for importing Unshu oranges from Honshu Island, Japan, by requiring fumigation using methyl bromide prior to exportation and by allowing the fruit to be imported into commercial citrus-producing areas of the United States. In addition, we are proposing to remove the requirement for individually wrapping Unshu oranges imported from Japan or the Republic of Korea. These actions would relieve restrictions on the importation into and distribution within the United States of Unshu oranges without presenting a significant risk of introducing citrus canker or other diseases or pests of plants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS has published an interim rule amending its plum pox regulations to provide for the payment of compensation to the owners of commercial stone fruit orchards and fruit tree nurseries who had stone fruit trees or nursery stock destroyed in order to control plum pox. The payment of these funds is necessary in order to reduce the economic impact of the plum pox quarantine on affected commercial stone fruit growers and fruit tree nursery owners. APHIS anticipates finalizing this interim rule after addressing the comments received.]]></ABSTRACT>

Additionally, it requires that those materials, when imported from regions not considered at risk for BSE, be accompanied by Government certification regarding the species, region of origin, processing, and handling of the materials and the animals from which they were derived. These actions are necessary to ensure that materials containing the BSE agent are not imported into the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interstate Movement of Swine Within a Production System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are establishing an alternative to the current requirements for moving swine interstate. Under this alternative, persons may move swine interstate without meeting individual swine identification and certain other requirements if they move the swine within a single swine production system, and if swine producers participating in that system sign agreements with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and involved State governments to monitor the health of animals moving within the swine production system and to facilitate traceback of these animals if necessary. This action will facilitate the interstate movement of swine while continuing to provide protection against the interstate spread of swine diseases. This action will affect persons engaged in swine production against the interstate spread of swine diseases. This action will affect persons engaged in swine production who regularly move swine interstate in their business operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Cyclical review of 9 CFR part 98 "Importation of Certain Animal Embryos and Animal Semen." An advance notice of proposed rulemaking that solicited public comment on certain existing requirements in part 98 confirmed that the regulations in this part no longer reflect international industry practices and are inconsistent, at least in part, with scientifically accepted procedures. Specific changes proposed will be determined after thorough review of existing requirements. Potential costs and benefits are unknown at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed standards currently being considered would: Require HIO officers to meet standards of conduct similar to those that currently apply to designated qualified persons (DQPs); require that HIOs submit horse show schedules to APHIS at least 30 days prior to a show; require APHIS approval of those portions of HIO rule books that address subjects covered by the Horse Protection Act; require that HIO rule books define what constitutes a conflict of interest for HIO officers and DQPs; and require that each HIO annually submit to APHIS a financial statement or otherwise demonstrate financial solvency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Karnal Bunt</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Karnal bunt is a fungal disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum), durum wheat (Triticum durum), and triticale (Triticum aestivum x Secale cereale), a hybrid of wheat and rye. In the absence of measures taken by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the establishment of Karnal bunt in the United States would have significant consequences with regard to the export of wheat to international markets. Prior to March 8, 1996, Karnal bunt was not known to exist in the United States. Since March 8, 1996, Karnal bunt has been detected within several States. In response, we have established regulations that define regulated areas in certain States because of Karnal bunt, restrict the movement of certain articles from the regulated areas to prevent the spread of Karnal bunt, and provide compensation for certain growers, handlers, and other individuals in the regulated areas to mitigate losses and expenses incurred because of actions taken by the Secretary to prevent the spread of Karnal bunt. As part of a continuing Karnal bunt program, we anticipate that the regulations concerning regulated areas, movement restrictions, and compensation will be revised as more is known about the Karnal bunt situation in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

We are undertaking rulemaking to correlate Federal interstate movement restrictions with the effectiveness of individual State scrapie programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requiring Treatment of Solid Wood Packing Material From China</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending the regulations for importing logs, lumber, and other unmanufactured wood articles by adding treatment and documentation requirements for solid wood packing material imported from China. This change means that wooden pallets, crating, dunnage, and other wooden packing material imported into the United States from China will have to be heat treated, fumigated, or treated with preservatives prior to departure from China. This action will affect anyone who uses solid wood packing material in connection with exporting commodities from China to the United States. This action is necessary to control the risk that solid wood packing material from China could introduce dangerous plant pests, including forest pests, into the United States, a risk demonstrated by many recent incidents where exotic pests were detected in solid wood packing material from China.

This action has been incorporated into the broader APHIS proposed rule Importation of Solid Wood Packing Material, RIN 0579-AA99.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending the noxious weed regulations so that they clearly state that a permit is required for the movement of noxious weeds into or through the United States or interstate. The regulations currently provide for the issuance of permits but do not explicitly state that a permit must be obtained before a noxious weed may be moved into or through the United States or interstate. These actions are necessary to update the regulations and prevent the artificial spread of noxious weeds into the United States and into noninfested areas of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Citrus Canker; Payments for Commercial Citrus Tree Replacement and Lost Production Income</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS published an interim rule, which has been affirmed by a final rule, amending its citrus canker regulations to establish provisions under which eligible owners of commercial citrus groves may receive payments to replace commercial citrus trees removed because of citrus canker. APHIS has also published a final rule that provides those eligible owners with payments to recover production income lost as a result of the removal of commercial citrus trees to control citrus canker. 

Provisions for the payment of these funds were contained in the Consolidated Appropriations Act for FY 2000 (Pub. L. 106-113), the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 206-224), and the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001 (Pub. L. 206-387). The payment of these funds is intended to reduce the economic effect of the citrus canker quarantine on affected commercial citrus growers in Florida.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review Inspection Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is proposing to revise regulations under the U.S. Grain Standards Act to allow interested persons to stipulate the quality factors that would be redetermined during a reinspection or appeal inspection for grade. Currently reinspections and appeal inspections for grade must include a review for all factors that (1) may determine the grade; (2) are reported on the original certificate; or (3) are required to be shown. The Agency has determined that mandating all quality factors be reexamined during a review inspection is inefficient, time consuming, and costly. Further, such a complete review of the preceding inspection service is usually not needed to confirm the true quality of the grain. This proposed action will allow interested parties to specify which official factors should be redetermined during the reinspection or appeal inspection service. However, to safeguard against inadvertent misgrading, official personnel may determine other factors, when deemed necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An ANPRM solicited input from contract poultry growers, as well as other interested parties, to address expressed concerns of contract poultry growers. After reviewing comments filed in response to the ANPRM, as well as standard poultry industry practices, the Agency is proposing to revise the current poultry grower contract regulations. The proposed changes would require live poultry dealers to provide additional information to poultry growers about terms of poultry growout contracts. The proposed changes would ensure that poultry growers have better information on which to base their decisions and develop a more realistic understanding of what their payments might be.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations Governing the California Prune/Plum (Tree Removal) Diversion Program, 2001-2002 Crop Year (FV-01-81-01 PR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the California Prune/Plum (Tree Removal) Diversion Program for the 2001-2002 crop year, producers would voluntarily remove prune/plum trees to reduce acreage and help the California dried plum industry address its severe oversupply problems.  The goal of the program is to remove the greatest number of trees with the greatest production potential prior to the 2002 crop for the least overall cost.  The program is expected to bring supplies closer in line with market needs and provide some relief to producers faced with low prices, packer closures, and contract cancellations.  Section 32 funds would be used to cover tree removal costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

Due to the negative impact on producer prices caused by high levels of imports, the sheep industry has sought Government assistance and is seeking to fund this self-help program to improve industry profitability.  A $100 million trade adjustment assistance package has been provided based on a Presidential Proclamation.  The proposed Lamb Promotion, Research, and Information Program would be a self-help program funded through assessments on sales of live lambs.

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 512(b) of the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act (Act) of 1996 indicates that the purpose of the Act is to authorize the Secretary to establish programs of promotion, research, and information for agricultural commodities to strengthen their position in domestic and foreign markets.  Section 514 of the Act provides that to carry out the purpose of the Act, the Secretary may issue orders applicable to producers of an agricultural commodity and others in the marketing chain.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

These funds would be generated from assessments on sales of lamb paid by producers, feeders, and lamb slaughters.  The Department of Agriculture costs associated with the implementation and oversight of the program would be reimbursed from the assessments collected under the program.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently about one-third of the Nation's table eggs are marketed under the voluntary shell egg-grading program. Shell egg processors that choose to use this service pay a fee to have graders in their plants monitor processing operations and verify the grade and size of eggs packaged into packages bearing the USDA grade shield. The proposal would provide that, in order to be officially identified with a USDA consumer grade shield, shell eggs must not be more than 15 days old (or some other period between 15 and 30 days if justified by public comment) and must not have been previously shipped for retail sale.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tobacco Fees and Charges for Permissive Inspection: Fee Increase (TB-00-04 FR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Department of Agriculture (the Department) is proposing to increase the fees and charges currently in force for permissive grading of quota and nonquota tobacco to reflect the increased costs of operating the program.  The Tobacco Inspection Act requires the Secretary to fix and collect fees and charges for the voluntary inspection and certification of tobacco, and fees must cover, as nearly as practicable, the Department's costs for performing these services.  The Agricultural Marketing Service is proposing that the base hourly rate be revised to $47.40, the overtime rate shall be revised to $54.22, and Sunday and holiday rate will be revised to $69.38.  These fees would cover expenses and maintain a reserve that would meet any reasonable contingency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Department of Agriculture (the Department) is increasing the fees and charges for mandatory inspection and certification of producer tobacco sold at designated auction markets.  The current fee of $.0083 per pound has been in effect since 1995.  The new rate will be $.0100 per pound.  Due to reduced quotas, the volume of tobacco delivered for inspection has declined.  An increase of $.0017 per pound is necessary to adequately fund the level of service the industry desires.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is proposing an industry-funded research, promotion, industry information, and consumer information program for Hass avocado.  A proposed program--the Hass Avocado Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Order (Order)--was submitted to AMS by the California Avocado Commission.  In addition, Mexican, Chilean, and New Zealand producers and associations submitted partial proposals. Under the proposed order, producers and importers would pay an initial assessment of 2.5 cents per pound of Hass domestic and imported avocados to the Hass Avocado Board (Board).  The Board would be appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct research, promotion, industry information, and consumer information needed for the maintenance, expansion, and development of domestic markets for Hass avocados.  The purpose of the program is to increase consumption of Hass avocados in the United States.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Exports of domestic Hass avocados are exempt from assessment.  At the initial rate of assessment, about $10 million will be collected to administer the program--about 65 percent from domestic production and 35 percent from imports.  All costs of program administration, including conducting the program, AMS oversight, and collection of assessments by Customs will be covered by the collected assessments.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[AMS is proposing to revise the regulatory provisions for labeling agricultural products as organically produced and handled (7 CFR part 205).  AMS will propose production standards for mushroom, apiculture, and greenhouse production systems and handling standards for apiculture products.  The proposed standards will incorporate the recommendations of the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) finalized at its October 2001 meeting.  In June 2001, the NOSB released and accepted public comment on a draft version of mushroom and greenhouse standards.  Concurrently, the NOSB implemented a task force to develop production and handling standards for apiculture.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Organic Program: Add Standards for the Organic Certification of Wild Captured Aquatic Animals (TM-01-08)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[AMS is proposing to revise the regulatory provisions for labeling of agricultural products as organically produced and handled (7 CFR part 205).  AMS proposes to incorporate the term "aquatic animal" in the definition of livestock and to establish production and handling standards for operations that capture aquatic animals from the wild.  AMS has defined "aquatic animal" as any finfish or shellfish used for human consumption, whether taken from regulated but free roaming marine and fresh water populations (wild captured) or propagated and raised in a controlled or selected environment (aquaculture).  Production standards for operations producing aquatic animals will incorporate requirements for livestock origin, feed ration, health care, living conditions, and recordkeeping. Handling standards for such operations will address prevention of commingling or organically produced commodities and prevention of contact between organically produced and prohibited substances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Processed Fruits and Vegetables: Qualified Through Verification (QTV)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is proposing to revise the regulations governing inspection and certification of processed fruits and vegetables and certain other products by making changes to the definitions for the terms "inspection service, general"; "inspection service, types of"; "official identification"; and "official marks" to specifically provide for a new voluntary audit-based inspection service for food safety and wholesomeness under the authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) of 1946, amended. The "Qualified Through Verification" (QTV) Program was developed as a pilot program in 1995 at the request of the fresh-cut produce industry. The industry asked for a voluntary audit and verification service using science-based techniques that would help maintain public confidence in the wholesomeness of minimally processed fruits and vegetables. AMS finds that the economic impact of this action on businesses should be similar in effect to other existing voluntary programs within the Agency and that firms availing themselves of the QTV program will not necessarily have a significant marketing advantage or risk over those that do not use the service. It is reasonable to assume that a company would not choose to participate in the program unless it expected benefits to exceed costs. AMS went out in a variety of ways, public meetings and public notice to inform the public of the new service which was requested initially by the fresh-cut produce industry. The AMA of 1946 provides AMS authority for offering voluntary quality assurance and related services.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FSIS is seeking to clarify the regulations respecting visible ingesta on poultry carcasses and parts.  In 1997, FSIS issued a final rule removing the process tolerance level for fecal contamination on poultry carcasses, in effect, adopting a zero process tolerance for poultry fecal matter.  During the comment period on the final rule, several commenters supported a zero tolerance for ingesta.  As a result, FSIS solicited comments and information on ingesta to determine whether there was a need for additional regulatory measures regarding ingesta.  No comments were received.  Lacking any information to suggest the current tolerance standards were inadequate, FSIS let stand the current process tolerance for ingesta contamination.  However, partly in view of a civil suit, now dismissed, that alleged disparate regulation of the meat and poultry industries by FSIS and challenged the existing process tolerance for ingesta contamination of poultry carcasses, FSIS is issuing an ANPRM to determine how it should proceed on this issue.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Standards for Bacon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to revise the regulatory provisions concerning the production and testing of bacon (9 CFR 424.22(b)). FSIS is proposing to remove provisions that require the Agency to test bacon for nitrosamines and to remove provisions that prescribe the substances and amounts of such substances that must be used to produce bacon. FSIS is proposing to replace these provisions with performance standards that establishments producing bacon must meet. To meet these proposed performance standards, the process used would be required to limit the presence of nitrosamines when the product is cooked. Under the hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) system, establishments would incorporate the proposed performance standards into their HACCP plans.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to replace restrictive provisions concerning the processing of bacon with a performance standard.  The proposed performance standard concerns limiting the presence of volatile nitrosamines in bacon products.  The Agency is also proposing to remove provisions that require the Agency to sample and test bacon for the presence of nitrosamines.  These proposed changes are necessary to make the bacon regulations consistent with those governing Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601-695) a meat or meat food product is adulterated "if it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious to health; but in case the substance is not an added substance, such article shall not be considered adulterated under this clause if the quantity of such substance in or on such article does not ordinarily render it injurious to health" (21 U.S.C. 601(m)(1)).  Volatile nitrosamines are deleterious because carcinogenic and, though not added directly to bacon, they may be produced when the bacon is fried.  Processors can control the levels of nitrosamines that may be present when the product is fried by controlling the levels of nitrite and nitrosamine inhibitors that are used in the bacon curing process.  In 1978, USDA stated that nitrosamines present at confirmable levels in bacon after preparation for eating  were deemed to be adulterative.  FSIS still maintains that bacon with confirmable levels of nitrosamines after preparation for eating is adulterated.  In this proposed rule, processors would control the levels of nitrosamines by complying with a performance standard.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[No action; performance standards for all types of bacon (not just pumped bacon, as proposed); removal of the FSIS testing provisions without converting prescriptive regulations to performance standard.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Because FSIS is proposing to convert existing regulations to a performance standard and is not proposing any new requirements for establishments producing bacon, FSIS does not anticipate that this proposed rule would result in any significant costs or benefits.  Bacon-processing establishments whose HACCP plans do not address nitrosamines as hazards reasonably likely to occur may incur some costs.  Also, establishments that choose to test their products for nitrosamines may incur some costs.  Because this rule provides establishments the flexibility to develop new procedures for producing bacon, this rule may result in profits to processors who develop cheaper means of producing product or who develop a product with wide consumer appeal.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Egg and Egg Products Inspection Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to require shell egg packers and egg products plants to develop and implement Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) systems and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). FSIS also is proposing pathogen reduction performance standards that would be applicable to pasteurized shell eggs and egg products. Plants would be expected to develop HACCP systems that ensure products meet the pathogen reduction performance standards. Finally, FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal egg and egg products inspection regulations by removing current requirements for prior approval by FSIS of egg products plant drawings, specifications, and equipment prior to their use in official plants. The Agency also plans to eliminate the prior label approval system for egg products.

The actions being proposed are part of FSIS's regulatory reform effort to improve FSIS's egg and egg products food safety regulations, better define the roles of Government and the regulated industry, encourage innovations that will improve food safety, remove unnecessary regulatory burdens on inspected egg products plants, and make the egg and egg products regulations as consistent as possible with the Agency's meat and poultry products regulations. FSIS is also taking these actions in light of changing inspection priorities and recent findings of salmonella in pasteurized egg products.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to require egg products plants to develop and implement HACCP systems and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs).  FSIS also is proposing a pathogen reduction performance standard that would be applicable to pasteurized egg products.  Plants would be expected to develop HACCP systems that ensure egg products meet the lethality required by the pathogen reduction performance standard.  In addition, FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal shell egg and egg products inspection regulations by removing current requirements for approval by FSIS of egg product plant drawings, specifications, and equipment prior to their use in official (FSIS-inspected) plants. Finally, the Agency plans to eliminate the pre-marketing label approval system for egg products but to require safe-handling labels on shell eggs and egg products.

The actions being proposed are part of FSIS's regulatory reform effort to improve FSIS's shell egg and egg products food safety regulations, better define the roles of Government and the regulated industry, encourage innovations that will improve food safety, remove unnecessary regulatory burdens on inspected egg products plants, and make the shell egg and egg products regulations as consistent as possible with the Agency's meat and poultry products regulations.  FSIS also is taking these actions in light of changing inspection priorities and recent findings of Salmonella in pasteurized egg products.

This proposal is directly related to FSIS's PR/HACCP initiative.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This proposed rule is authorized under the Egg Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C.  1031-1056).  It is not the result of any specific mandate by the Congress or a Federal court.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[A team of FSIS economists and food technologists is conducting a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the potential economic impacts on the public, the egg products industry, and FSIS of several alternatives.  These alternatives include:  (1) taking no regulatory action; (2) requiring all inspected egg products plants to develop, adopt, and implement written Sanitation SOPs and HACCP plans; and (3) converting to a lethality-based pathogen reduction performance standard many of the current highly prescriptive egg products processing requirements.  The team will consider the effects of a uniform, across-the-board standard for all egg products; a performance standard based on the relative risk of different classes of egg products; and a performance standard based on the relative risks to public health of different production processes.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FSIS is analyzing the potential costs of this proposed rulemaking to industry, to FSIS and to other Federal agencies, to State and local governments, to small entities, and to foreign countries.  The expected costs to industry will depend on a number of factors.  These costs include the required lethality, or level of pathogen reduction, and the cost of HACCP plan and SSOP development, implementation, and associated employee training.  The pathogen reduction costs will depend on the amount of reduction sought and in what classes of product, product formulations, or processes.

Relative enforcement costs to FSIS and FDA may change because the two agencies share responsibility for inspection and oversight of the egg industry and a common farm-to-table approach for shell egg and egg products food safety.  Other Federal agencies and local governments are not likely to be affected.

FSIS has cooperative agreements with six States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico under which they provide inspection services to egg processing plants under Federal jurisdiction.  FSIS reimburses the States for staffing costs and expenses for full-time State inspectors.  HACCP implementation may result in a reduction of staffing resource requirements in the States and a corresponding reduction of the Federal reimbursement.  As a result, some States may decide to stop providing inspection services and convert to Federal inspection of egg products plants.

Egg and egg product inspection systems of foreign countries wishing to export eggs and egg products to the U.S. must be equivalent to the U.S. system.  FSIS will consult with these countries, as needed, if and when this proposal becomes effective.

This proposal is not likely to have a significant impact on small entities.  The entities that would be directly affected by this proposal would be the approximately 75 federally inspected egg-processing establishments, most of which are small businesses, according to Small Business Administration criteria.  If necessary, FSIS will develop compliance guides to assist these small firms in implementing the proposed requirements.

The impacts on the FSIS budget will be influenced by the alternatives proposed and industry responses.  Most likely, fewer FSIS inspection personnel will be required over time as more uniform inspection practices are employed among the meat, poultry, and egg products industries.

Potential benefits associated with this rulemaking include: Improvements in human health due to pathogen reduction; improved utilization of FSIS inspection program resources; and cost savings resulting from the flexibility of egg products plants in achieving a lethality-based pathogen reduction performance standard.  Once specific alternatives are identified, economic analysis will identify the quantitative and qualitative benefits associated with each.

Human health benefits from this rulemaking are likely to be small because of the low level of (chiefly post-processing) contamination of pasteurized egg products.  In light of recent scientific studies that raise questions about the efficacy of current regulations, however, it is likely that measurable reductions will be achieved in the risk of foodborne illness.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[FSIS believes that this regulatory action may result in a further reduction in the risks associated with egg products.  The development of a lethality-based pathogen reduction performance standard for egg products, replacing command-and-control regulations, will remove unnecessary regulatory obstacles to, and provide incentives for, innovation to improve the safety of egg products. 

To assess the potential risk-reduction impacts of this rulemaking on the public, an interagency panel of scientific and technical experts is conducting a risk management analysis.  The panel has been charged with identifying the lethality requirement sufficient to ensure the safety of egg products and the alternative methods for implementing the requirement.  The egg products processing and distribution module of the Salmonella enteritidis Risk Assessment, made public June 12, 1998, will be appropriately modified to evaluate the risk associated with the regulatory alternatives.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to update its pathogen reduction (PR)/Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) System regulations by adding generic Eschericha coli (E. coli) criteria for cattle, swine, and goose carcasses based on the sponging method of sample collection and for turkey carcasses based on the sponging and rinse methods of sample collection.  FSIS is also proposing new pathogen reduction performance standards for Salmonella in cattle, swine, young turkey, and goose carcasses by the sponging method and fresh pork sausage by direct sampling.  The new cattle performance standard would replace the existing Salmonella performance standards for steers/heifers and cows/bulls.  The new swine standard would replace the existing standard for hogs.  These new standards apply to all market classes of cattle and swine, respectively.
	The National Academy of Sciences and the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods are examining the Salmonella performance standards and generic E. coli criteria.  FSIS will take into account their findings and concerns before issuing rules on this matter.
        In addition, FSIS is proposing to revise the terms used to identify and define certain classes of product listed in the Salmonella tables to more accurately reflect the products sampled in the baseline studies that are the basis for the standards.  The Agency also intends to correct some errors in the E. coli and Salmonella tables and to change the footnotes to the tables for greater clarity.
        These changes would ensure that the pathogen reduction performance standards and process control criteria applying to products and establishments regulated by FSIS are appropriate and accurate.  The additional performance standards for Salmonella and criteria for E. coli will help establishments to improve process controls for certain classes of raw product.  Improved process controls will help reduce pathogens on certain raw products and may result in the reduction of foodborne illness.  The provision of E. coli criteria based on the sponge method of sampling would provide affected establishments with flexibility in complying with the rule.
        In addition to the need to update and add flexibility to existing PR/HACCP requirements, the rule is needed to help address the market failure associated with the consumer's lack of information about pathogens that may be present in certain classes of meat and poultry products and to help meet the commitments made by FSIS in its PR/HACCP and associated regulatory reform initiatives.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Benefits would accrue from reductions in pathogen levels, which in turn, might lead to reductions in foodborne illness.  There is, however, a great deal of uncertainty associated with the human health benefits estimates, including data reflecting a decline in foodborne illness after implementation of the PR/HACCP regulations, because of the lack of prevalence data for the period before and after implementation of the regulations.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend the meat and poultry inspection regulations by removing all requirements relating to total quality control (TQC) systems. A TQC system is a comprehensive, planned documented system of activities intended to ensure the stability of processes and the uniformity of products throughout a manufacturing plant. The proposal would remove the design requirements for TQC systems and the requirements for FSIS prior approval, or approval before implementation, of such systems. The proposal also would amend the regulations governing the operating schedules of official establishments to remove the provisions concerning establishments with approved TQC systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to amend the official U.S. classes of poultry so that they more accurately and clearly describe the characteristics of poultry in the market today.  Poultry classes are defined primarily in terms of age and sex of the bird.  Genetic improvements and new poultry management techniques have reduced the grow-out period for some poultry classes while extensive cross breeding has produced poultry with higher meat yields but blurred breed distinctions.  This action is being taken to ensure that poultry products are labeled in a truthful and non-misleading manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to eliminate the time and temperature requirements for chilling ready-to-cook poultry carcasses and giblets.  The Agency is taking this action because the requirements are inconsistent with the Agency's Pathogen Reduction/Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) System regulations, with its final rule further restricting retained water in raw meat and poultry, and with the Agency's regulatory reform program.  Moreover, because of these regulations, the meat and poultry industries receive disparate regulatory treatment: No regulations that apply to the chilling of poultry apply to the chilling of meat.  This proposal responds to longstanding petitions by industry trade associations.]]></ABSTRACT>

The regulations also complicate efforts by establishments to comply with the terms of the January 9, 2001, final rule further restricting the amount of water that may be retained in raw meat or poultry products after post-evisceration processing; some establishments may have to use chilling procedures that result in higher levels of retained water in carcasses than may be necessary to achieve the same food safety objective.  For example, establishments that operate automated chillers may have to subject poultry carcasses to higher agitation rates or longer dwell times in the chillers. Also, as discussed above, the time/temperature chilling regulations for poultry result in disparate regulatory treatment of the meat and poultry industries.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Poultry processors would gain the flexibility to choose the best processing techniques and procedures for achieving production efficiencies, meeting HACCP food safety objectives, and preventing economic adulteration of raw product with retained water in amounts greater than unavoidable for food-safety purposes.  They would be able to operate with a wider range of chilling temperatures consistently with the requirements of the PR/HACCP regulations.  The poultry products industry could achieve energy efficiencies resulting in annual savings of as much as $2.8 million.  

The industry could also reduce carcass "dwell times" in immersion chillers and thereby reduce the amount of water absorbed and retained by the carcasses.  The reduction in dwell time might enable some establishments, particularly those currently operating at the throughput capacity of their chillers, to increase production by installing additional evisceration lines.  Poultry establishments would therefore be able to operate more efficiently to provide consumers with product that is not adulterated.  

FSIS also would gain some flexibility by being able to reallocate some inspection resources from measuring the temperature of chilled birds to such activities as HACCP system verification.

This proposed rule would directly impose no new costs on the regulated industry.  It would relieve burdens arising from the disparate impacts of the current regulations on the meat and poultry industries.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to amend the meat inspection regulations to add emergency regulations to prevent meat and meat food products that may contain the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent from entering commerce. The emergency regulations would become effective when, and if, BSE is diagnosed in native cattle in the United States. The proposed regulations provide for periodic review by FSIS to determine their effectiveness and to evaluate the need to modify or remove some measures or impose additional measures.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to amend the meat inspection regulations to add provisions to prevent meat and meat products that may contain the BSE agent from entering commerce in the event that BSE is diagnosed in native cattle in the U.S.  Any final rule that is developed as a result of this proposal will become effective when, and if, a native case of BSE is detected in the U.S. 

BSE is a chronic, degenerative, neorological disorder of cattle.  Worldwide, there have been more than 178,000 cases since the disease was first diagnosed in 1986 in Great Britain.  There have been no cases of BSE detected in the United States despite 10 years of active surveillance for the disease.  Recent laboratory and epidemiological research indicate that there is a causal association between BSE and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), a slow degenerative disease that affects the central nervous system of humans.  Like BSE, vCJD has not been detected in the United States.  Both BSE and vCJD are always fatal.

Although BSE has not been detected in the U.S., USDA policy in regard to BSE has been to be proactive and preventive.  Therefore, FSIS is proposing these regulations so that the Agency will have an immediate regulatory response in the event that BSE is detected in the U.S.  Once finalized, the proposed measures will be incorporated in the meat inspection regulations but would only become effective when, and if, BSE is detected in native cattle.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601-695), FSIS issues regulations governing the production of meat and meat food products. The regulations, along with FSIS inspection programs, are designed to ensure that meat food products are safe, not adulterated, and properly marked, labeled, and packaged.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As an alternative to the proposed requirements, FSIS considered taking no action. FSIS rejected this option because, as previously mentioned, USDA policy in regard to BSE has been to be proactive and preventive. Publishing a proposed rule will inform the public of the type of regulatory response it can expect from FSIS when, and if, BSE is detected in native cattle.

In addition to the proposed requirements, FSIS is considering taking actions prior to the detection of BSE in the U.S. to minimize human exposure to materials from cattle that could potentially contain the BSE agent.  The measures under consideration are targeted at the materials of cattle that are most likely to contain the BSE agent, if such animals have been infected with BSE, and those cattle that have consumed feed prohibited by Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulations (i.e., mammalian meat and bone meal in ruminant feed).]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[None.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Although vCJD is a rare condition, the symptoms are severe, and it is always fatal.  This proposed rule is intended to reduce the risk of humans developing vCJD in the U.S. in the event BSE is detected in native cattle.  The measures proposed by FSIS are intended to minimize human exposure to materials from cattle that could potentially contain the BSE agent.  In April 1998, USDA entered into a cooperative agreement with Harvard University's School of Public Health to conduct a risk analysis to assess the potential pathways for entry into U.S. cattle and the U.S. food supply, to evaluate existing regulations and policies, and to identify any additional measures that could be taken to protect human and animal health.  FSIS will use the findings of the risk assessment to evaluate the level of risk reduction associated with the proposed measures. 

Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that may be found in or on meat food products, the BSE agent cannot be destroyed by conventional methods, such as cooking or irradiation.  Also, although it is rare, vCJD, the human disease associated with exposure to the BSE agent, is generally more severe than the human illnesses associated with exposure to bacterial and viral pathogens.  Thus, if BSE were detected in the U.S., additional measures to reduce the risk of human exposure to the BSE agent are necessary to protect public health.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service is proposing to increase the fees it charges meat and poultry establishments, egg products plants, importers, and exporters for providing voluntary inspection services, overtime and holiday inspection services, identification services, certification services, and laboratory services.  These proposed fee increases reflect the national and locality pay raise for Federal employees and inflationary costs.  FSIS is proposing to make the fee increases effective as soon as possible. At this time, FSIS is not proposing to change the fee it charges for the accredited Laboratory Program. The Agency is also proposing to add part 592 to title 9 of the CFR to raise fees for the voluntary inspection of egg products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Beef or Pork With Barbecue Sauce; Revision of Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been petitioned to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations by removing a meat yield requirement for the standardized products "Beef With Barbecue Sauce" and "Pork With Barbecue Sauce." Current regulations for these products require that the product contain not less than 50 percent of the species identified on the label and that the weight of the cooked pork or beef not exceed 70 percent of the uncooked weight of the meat. The first requirement is consistent with other meat and sauce requirements, but the second requirement is not. The petitioner asserts that the product standard (promulgated in 1952) does not reflect current production practices or the commercial marketability of beef or pork with barbecue sauce. The petitioner further states that producers of these products are at a competitive disadvantage with other meat and sauce producers, because other meat and sauce producers do not have a 70 percent yield requirement. For example, producers of the standardized products "Beef with Gravy," "Meat Pies," and "Spaghetti with Meat and Sauce" and similar standardized products do not have any meat yield requirements. 

FSIS has determined that the petitioner's request should be granted. This action would permit fair competition between meat and barbecue sauce producers, and poultry and sauce producers, and would provide consistent requirements in both the meat and poultry inspection regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1994, the Food Safety and Inspection Service amended its regulations to recognize that product resulting from advanced meat/bone separation machinery comes within the definition of meat when recovery systems are operated to assure that the characteristics and composition of the resulting product are consistent with those of meat. Subsequent compliance problems and other concerns have made it apparent that the regulations are inadequate to prevent misbranding and economic adulteration. Therefore, FSIS is developing a rule to clarify the regulations and supplement the rules for assuring compliance.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In 1998, FSIS proposed to clarify the meat inspection regulations regarding mechanically separated meat contained in a final rule issued in December 1994.  The proposed rule would replace the present compliance program parameters with non-compliance criteria for bone and bone-related material.  The proposed rule would require, as a prerequisite to labeling or using product derived by mechanically separating skeletal muscle tissue from cattle bones as meat, that establishments implement and document procedures for ensuring that their production process is in control.  FSIS intends to issue a final rule in the first quarter of 2002 that prohibits central nervous system tissue in meat produced by advanced meat separation and recovery systems.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

To date, it appears that the final rule will not be economically significant, but data evaluation continues.  The benefit of publishing a rule that prohibits central nervous system tissue is that the meat industry would be producing a product that is not misbranded or economically adulterated.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[On December 1, 2000, FSIS issued a proposed rule to permit on-line antimicrobial reprocessing of pre-chill poultry carcasses on a voluntary basis.  It is estimated that approximately 90 poultry slaughter establishments are now engaged in on-line processing.  Permitting pre-chill poultry to be reprocessed on-line rather than off-line yields great benefits to industry and reduces microbial loads on visibly contaminated and visibly clean birds.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This action is authorized by the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 456 et seq.)  Exercise of the Secretary of Agriculture's functions under this Act has been delegated to the Under Secretary for Food Safety (7 CFR 2.18) and by the Under Secretary to the Administrator of FSIS (7 CFR 2.53).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Executive Order 12866 requires that FSIS identify and assess alternative forms of regulation. FSIS considered two alternatives to this proposed rule: (1) not proposing to allow for the on-line reprocessing of contaminated carcasses and (2) proposing to require plants to perform on-line reprocessing of pre-chill contaminated carcasses and establishing specific numerical performance standards that the reprocessed poultry must meet using a mandated antimicrobial treatment or process. FSIS rejected both alternatives for the reasons explained below.

Failing To Propose

    FSIS is committed to reducing the levels of microbial pathogens in poultry products. On-line reprocessing of poultry in commercial trials using solutions of TSP/chlorine and acidified sodium chlorite has been shown to be a highly effective method of reducing the microbial levels of raw poultry to levels substantially below the performance standards and criteria established by the pathogen reduction/HACCP final rule.

Mandating Procedures, Materials, and Methods

    FSIS is proposing to give all establishments the option of adopting on-line reprocessing of visibly contaminated birds. By not mandating that all plants adopt on-line reprocessing, FSIS is recognizing that there are other solutions to reducing bacterial loads that may be more appropriate and cost-effective for small plants. There are many possible solutions for pathogen reduction of raw poultry and poultry products, and the industry continues to seek out new products and equipment that will be effective.
    Pathogen reduction is central to the FSIS food safety strategy. However, eliminating as many prescriptive or command-and-control regulations as possible also is an important part of the overall strategy for updating and improving inspection in light of HACCP. Therefore, there will be no mandate proposed for establishments to use TSP or any other substance as the antimicrobial reprocessing aid. Various substances have undergone trials to determine their potential as antimicrobial processing agents. Such substances include acidified sodium chlorite; organic acids such as lactic, acetic, and formic acids; chlorine dioxides; and ozone. Plants will be free to use other products that have demonstrated their efficacy in reducing levels of microorganisms in in-plant commercial trials. This is consistent with the Agency's strategy of encouraging the industry to take advantage of new technology to reduce the risks associated with the consumption of meat and poultry products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The economic impact of this rule is likely to be minimal because of the voluntary nature of the practice this proposal would authorize. An establishment will use on-line reprocessing if it is consistent with the objectives of the firm, conforms with plant configuration, provides increased efficiency in achieving product standards, improves product characteristics, and other factors. The poultry industry is highly competitive; an increase in product price by a single producer is likely to result in a loss of market share. A firm is not likely to purchase new equipment that will increase overall production costs or reduce profits.
    The cost for a poultry plant to adopt an acceptable on-line reprocessing system will vary from plant to plant and will be contingent on the location, physical structure, and age of the plant and the adaptability of the equipment. Available information indicates that the capital cost per line ranges from $10,000 to more than $55,000, with an average cost of $35,600, which is close to the manufacturer's estimate for a single line cost of $30,000.
    Operating costs associated with on-line reprocessing systems also can vary significantly as a result of plant size, number of lines, processing capacity, plant configuration, and other factors. Rhodia estimates that the TSP application cost will be about 0.2 cents per pound for an average chicken slaughter plant. The application of other antimicrobial substances may vary slightly in cost. Plant data suggest that total annual operating costs, which include labor, water softener, TSP, and water, are very close to the manufacturer's estimate. Available information suggests annual operating costs of about $125,000 per line for an average plant. Costs associated with off-line reprocessing would be expected to decline following installation of on-line reprocessing equipment because of reduced labor and other operating requirements. Available data suggest the decrease in operating costs because of reduced off-line reprocessing is about $70,000 per line, somewhat more than half of the increase in operating costs associated with TSP on-line reprocessing. The available plant information suggests that about two-thirds of the plants would not experience any change in sewage treatment. The remaining third would be required to perform additional treatment at the plant to meet discharge limits. Two-thirds of the plants would show no change in water use, while the remaining plants will have to increase use by 1 to 2 gallons per bird, or about 10 percent.
    For the average plant, the net present value of capital costs and the net change in operating costs of TSP on-line reprocessing is about $1.2 million over a 10-year period using a discount rate of 7 percent. Based on the assumptions that the average plant processes about 200,000 birds per day, that an average bird has a dressed weight of 3.6 pounds, and the plant operates an average of 255 days per year over the next 10 years, the increase in total production costs is slightly more than .2 cents per pound. The capital costs amortized over a 10-year period are minimal on a per pound basis. The costs to the poultry processing industry would accrue to plants engaged in slaughter, either exclusively or in combination with processing. In 1996, there were 281 federally inspected plants of this description. Only one Federal-State cooperative inspection plant is currently engaged in poultry slaughter. If all such plants voluntarily install an on-line reprocessing system, the total cost to the poultry industry would be about $345 million over a 10-year period.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The cost of a TSP on-line reprocessing system represents an insignificant portion of the retail price per pound of poultry. If there is any increase in the retail price of poultry, it will be modest and offset by consumer confidence that the product presents lower microbial risks.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Standards: Requirements for Substantive Standardized Meat and Poultry Products Named by Use of an Expressed Nutrient Content Claim and a Standardized Term</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is amending the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations to establish a general definition and standard of identity for standardized meat and poultry products that have been modified to qualify for use of an expressed nutrient content claim in their product names.  These products will be identified by an expressed nutrient content claim, such as "fat free," "low fat," and "light," in conjunction with an appropriate standardized term. FSIS is taking this action to 1) assist consumers to maintain healthy dietary practices by providing for modified versions of standardized meat and poultry products that have reductions of certain constituents that are of health concern to some people, 2) increase regulatory flexibility and support product innovation and, 3) provide consumers with an informative nutrition labeling system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), in conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) that addressed possible regulatory approaches to the transportation and storage of potentially hazardous foods (including meat and poultry products) and solicited comments and information from the public. FSIS and FDA have been considering various efforts to ensure that potentially hazardous foods outside of food processing establishments will be handled in a way that will minimize the growth of pathogenic organisms or other hazards. FSIS now anticipates rulemaking under the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act on proposed handling standards and information to assure that the public is informed of the manner of handling required to maintain these products under sanitary conditions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ante-Mortem and Post-Mortem Inspection of Livestock and Poultry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to reform the regulations governing ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection of livestock and poultry. A number of the current regulations are no longer appropriate for the conditions under which meat and poultry products are produced and distributed today (e.g., splitting of sterna, prohibition of inflating carcasses). Others are duplicative regulations (e.g., those dealing with bruises and contamination) applying separately to meat and to poultry that could be combined into single regulations applying to both meat and poultry. Most emphasize the procedures for achieving regulatory objectives rather than the objectives themselves. This proposal would remove these prescriptive, detailed, or obsolete regulations or convert them to performance standards that are consistent with FSIS requirements for establishment-operated hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) systems and with the Agency's food safety regulatory strategy. 

Under the proposal, the current ante-mortem requirements, listing objectionable diseases or conditions and corresponding actions to be taken, would be replaced by performance standards intended to ensure that only "normal," healthy animals that do not pose an evident hazard to public health are permitted to enter a slaughtering establishment. "Normal" animals would include those, for example, that are not running a temperature or that do not exhibit lesions of disease or behaviors characteristic of central nervous system disorders. Similarly, the post-mortem regulations, with their lists of conditions and detailed, command-and-control procedures, would be streamlined. The prescriptive provisions would be replaced by performance standards relating to food safety (prevention of economic adulteration). 

This proposal would also recodify the ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection regulations for livestock and poultry. To the extent possible, consistent with Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act, regulations concerning livestock and meat carcasses and parts, and those concerning poultry carcasses and parts, would be designated to the same parts and sections of the Code of Federal Regulations. These changes would be part of the ongoing Agency effort to make the regulations more streamlined and user-friendly. 

This proposal would focus on the performance standards that establishments should meet through operation of their HACCP systems for slaughtering and dressing operations. It would remove impediments to the development and operation of HACCP plans by making the current regulations compatible with the HACCP approach to food safety. 

Besides the proposed action, FSIS considered the alternative of no rulemaking and the alternative of eliminating all regulations on livestock, poultry, and the carcasses and parts of livestock and poultry, affected by specific diseases and conditions. The first alternative would leave in place numerous detailed prescriptions and procedural requirements inconsistent with, or duplicative of, HACCP systems. The second would risk exposing the public to products that may be unwholesome or otherwise adulterated. 

The Agency believes the alternative represented by this proposal--converting to performance standards the ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection regulations--would offer the best prospect for the efficient and effective implementation of HACCP. It would also maximize the flexibility establishments have to adopt technological innovations that would increase the assurance of food safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

Besides the proposed action, FSIS considered the alternative of no rulemaking and the alternative of eliminating all regulations on the disposition and disposal of inspected raw products. Among these regulations are those concerning the handling of raw product moving between official establishments and the disposal of condemned or inedible carcasses and parts. The first alternative would leave in place numerous detailed prescriptions and procedural requirements inconsistent with, or duplicative of, HACCP systems. The second would risk exposing the public to products that may be unwholesome or otherwise adulterated. 

This proposal would convert to performance standards the regulations governing the disposition, handling, and disposal of raw carcasses and parts. The Agency believes this alternative would offer the best prospect of permitting the efficient and effective implementation of HACCP and of maximizing the flexibility official establishments and other entities have to adopt technological and other innovations that could increase the assurance of food safety. 

This proposal would also recodify the regulations on the disposition, handling, and disposal of raw meat and poultry products. To the extent possible, consistent with the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act, regulations affecting both meat and poultry would be designated to the same parts and sections of the Code of Federal Regulations. These changes would be part of the ongoing Agency effort to make the regulations more streamlined and user-friendly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS has proposed to establish pathogen reduction performance standards for all ready-to-eat and partially heat-treated meat and poultry products. The performance standards spell out the objective level of pathogen reduction that establishments must meet during their operations in order to produce safe products but allow the use of customized, plant-specific processing procedures other than those prescribed in the earlier regulations. Along with HACCP, food safety performance standards will give establishments the incentive and flexibility to adopt innovative, science-based food safety processing procedures and controls, while providing objective, measurable standards that can be verified by Agency inspectional oversight. This set of performance standards will include and be consistent with those already in place for certain ready-to-eat meat and poultry products.  FSIS also is proposing testing requirements intended to reduce the incidence of Listeria in ready-to-eat meat and poultry products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service is proposing to amend the mandatory meat and poultry products inspection regulations concerning the reworking of carcasses accidentally contaminated during evisceration. The proposal would replace with performance standards the current prescriptive provisions governing the handling of meat carcasses and the reprocessing of poultry carcasses that have been so contaminated and would permit the on-line reprocessing of carcasses, provided the applicable performance standards are met. The proposal would permit establishments to reprocess contaminated meat and poultry carcasses on the evisceration line, rather than at separate stations, if the establishments can scientifically demonstrate a substantial improvement in the microbiological quality of the carcasses. The amended regulations would be consistent with the Agency's pathogen reduction (PR) and hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nutrition Labeling of Ground or Chopped Meat and Poultry Products and Single-Ingredient Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS has proposed to amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to require nutrition labeling of the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products. The Agency proposed to require that nutrition information be provided for these products either on their label or at their point-of-purchase. FSIS proposed to require nutrition labeling of the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products because during the most recent surveys of retailers, the Agency did not find significant participation in the voluntary nutrition labeling program for single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products.

In this proposed rule, FSIS also proposed to amend its regulations to extend mandatory labeling to single-ingredient ground or chopped products. Under this proposal, individual retail packages of ground or chopped meat and ground or chopped poultry products would bear nutrition labeling. The Agency has determined that ground or chopped products are different from other single-ingredient products in several important respects. Thus, FSIS proposed to make nutrition labeling requirements for ground or chopped products consistent with those for multi-ingredient products.

Finally, FSIS has proposed to amend the nutrition labeling regulations to provide that when a ground or chopped product does not meet the criteria to be labeled "low fat," a lean percentage claim may be included on the product label as long as a statement of the fat percentage also is displayed on the label.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are proposing to modernize their food standards. The agencies are proposing that the standards be reviewed and revised by outside parties and submitted to the agencies via the petition process. The agencies are proposing a set of guiding principles that define how modern food standards should be structured to protect the interest of consumers without unduly inhibiting technological advances in food production. The agencies are proposing that petitions to establish standards or to revise or eliminate existing standards be required to adhere to these guiding principles. If the guiding principles are adopted in the regulations, the agencies will review petitions submitted to ensure that they adhere to the guiding principles. If petitions do adhere to the guiding principles, the agencies may publish proposed rules to establish, revise, or eliminate standards based on the petition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Standard for the Chilling or Other Processing of Livestock Carcasses and Ready-To-Cook Poultry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to replace the regulations governing the chilling of poultry, including the specific time/temperature requirements, with a performance standard that both livestock and poultry slaughtering establishments would have to meet. The establishments would have to ensure that the chilling or other processing of livestock or poultry carcasses from which the hide, hair, or feathers have been removed ensures that bacterial populations on the carcasses are reduced or remain in the lag (or adjustment) phase of growth. Slaughtering establishments would be required to have data or information verifying that their procedures meet the standard. Verification data could be the results of microbiological tests or predictive mathematical modeling. This proposal is intended to provide the regulated industry with the flexibility it needs to design and implement innovative processes and control systems and improve consistency in the regulatory treatment of meat and poultry products. It is also consistent with FSIS's Pathogen Reduction/Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point Systems (HACCP) regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

FSIS will refer to these program activities as "other consumer protection" (OCP) activities. This notice defines and describes FSIS' OCP activities and discusses the Agency's need for revised regulations and verification and enforcement procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Requirements for Partial Quality Control Programs; Certification of Scales</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is amending sections 317.21(d) and 381.121d of the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations to permit FSIS-inspected establishments to have, in lieu of certification by State or local agencies or State-licensed repair firms or persons, alternative documented procedures for showing that the scales meet the requirements of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44.  The alternative documented procedures could be a partial quality control (PQC) program for net weight (for which FSIS no longer has approval or design requirements), a total quality control (TQC) system provision, or other procedures showing the establishment's scales meet NIST Handbook 44 requirements.  FSIS has determined that the regulatory provisions in question are unduly restrictive and should include an option for the establishments to have alternative documented procedures showing that scales meet NIST Handbook 44 requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule describes requirements for State agencies to report information on individuals disqualified from the program for intentional program violations to FNS and the related FNS computer matching program known as the Disqualified Recipient Subsystem (DRS).

This proposed rule also describes protections to persons whose benefits could be adversely affected by computer matches used in the Food Stamp Program. Such protections must include independent verification of computer information, notification to the affected individual, and provision of an opportunity to respond to the information before an adverse action becomes effective.

        <RULE_TITLE>Commodity Supplemental Food Program: Plain Language, Program Accountability, and Program Flexibility</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will rewrite regulations pertaining to the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (7 CFR part 247) in "plain language." It will also amend regulatory provisions in this part to increase program accountability and flexibility for program operators. The rule will affect program accountability by : (1) Requiring State agencies to initiate a claim against participants for repayment of the value of program benefits obtained as a result of intentional misrepresentation; (2) extending the period that State agencies may disqualify participants for program violations for up to 1 year; (3) requiring State agencies to disqualify participants for engaging in dual participation or for other selected program violations; (4) including under program violations the physical abuse, or the threat of physical abuse, of program staff.

Amendments to increase program flexibility include: (1) Allowing the State to extend the certification of elderly persons on a fixed income for an indefinite period without a formal review of eligibility; (2) increasing the period of time the State agency has to review a local agency's application for participation; (3) allowing State agencies to request to retain more than the maximum amount of administrative funds allocated whether or not they perform warehouse services; (4) reducing the frequency of State management evaluations of local agencies; and (5) making State plans and Federal-State agreements permanent, with amendments submitted as needed.

Other miscellaneous proposed changes include: (1) Requiring local agencies to notify applicants of a decision on their application within 10 days of the date of application; (2) including the specific factors that FNS uses to determine the amount of caseload that States will receive in addition to base caseload; (3) making the caseload cycle the period from January 1 to December 31; and (4) including a pregnant woman's embryo or fetus in utero as a household member in determining the family's income eligibility.

The rule will also incorporate legislative provisions that have been implemented through program policy, including: (1) Increasing the percentage of the program appropriation, and of funds carried over from the pervious year, to be allotted for administrative support of State and local agencies from 15 to 20 percent; and (2) requiring that State and local agencies provide information on certain other public assistance programs to participants.

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC): Revisions in the WIC Food Packages</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule will amend regulations governing the WIC food packages to disallow low-iron WIC formulas in food packages for infants; revise the maximum monthly allowances and minimum requirements for certain WIC foods; revise the substitution rates for certain WIC foods and allow additional foods as alternatives; make technical adjustments in all of the food packages to accommodate newer packaging and physical forms of the WIC foods; add vegetables as a food category in Food Packages III-VII for women and children; require that State agencies make available the full maximum foods allowed in each package; revise the criteria for developing State agency proposals for alternative food packages to accommodate participant food preferences more effectively; revise the purpose, content, and requirements for Food Package III; and address general provisions that apply to all the food packages.  These revisions will improve the likelihood that WIC recipients achieve the food servings recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and nutritional recommendations, providing WIC participants with a wider variety of foods, accommodating newer packaging and physical forms of WIC foods, and providing WIC State agencies with greater flexibility in prescribing food packages, especially to accommodate participants with hardships or cultural/food preferences.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[While WIC has been successful in many areas, obesity and inappropriate dietary patterns have become equal, if not greater, problems for many in WIC?s target population.  WIC food packages and nutrition education are the chief means by which WIC affects the dietary quality and habits of participants.  Results of a recent WIC study found that the supplemental food package is consistently ranked by pregnant and postpartum women as the leading positive attribute of the program.  Therefore, revised food packages, which will foster greater consistency with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, are an appropriate response to further increase the positive effects of the program among the WIC eligible population.  

The overarching objective of this rule is to improve disease prevention and nutritional status by improving dietary quality and nutritional adequacy of the WIC food packages by:

1. Improving the manner in which the nutrients lacking in the target population's diet are provided by revising food packages to reflect more closely the Dietary Guidelines for Americans as represented by the diet recommendations of the Food Guide Pyramid; and

2. Increasing the nutritional adequacy of the WIC food packages for medically needy participants.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The WIC Program was established to provide nutritious supplemental foods, nutrition education, and referrals to related health and social services to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, infants, and children up to age 5. Section 17 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1786) clearly established the WIC Program as a supplemental nutrition program designed to provide nutrients determined by nutritional research to be lacking in the diets of the WIC target population.  WIC law requires that, to the extent possible, the fat, sugar, and salt content of WIC foods be appropriate.  The law gives substantial latitude to the Department in designing WIC food offerings but obligates the Department to prescribe foods that effectively and economically supply the target nutrients.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP): At-Risk Afterschool Suppers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) regulations to allow reimbursement of suppers provided by at-risk afterschool care programs in six States, as authorized by the Agricultural Risk Protection Act (Pub. L. 106-224). At-risk suppers in these States (Delaware, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Missouri, New York, and Oregon) are reimbursed under the same conditions set forth in the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) for at-risk snacks in the CACFP.  Children who are 18 or younger and enrolled in qualifying afterschool programs located in the six States may receive free suppers.  To qualify, afterschool care programs must be located in low-income areas, provide care to children, and have an educational or enrichment purpose. (01-007)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>WIC: Requirements for and Evaluation of WIC Program Requests for Bids for Infant Formula Rebate Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At the time the current cost containment regulations were published in 1989, there were only minor differences in infant formula wholesale prices and few differences in types of infant formulas offered by manufacturers; i.e., milk- and soy-based infant formula. However, current wholesale prices vary considerably among manufacturers for similar formulas and several new infant formulas have emerged on the market over the last decade. Therefore, to reflect market changes in the infant formula industry and to optimize competition in the WIC Program's infant formula rebate contracts, this interim rule would require WIC State agencies to award infant formula rebate contracts based on the lowest net price, allowing highest gross rebate as a basis of award only when retail prices of the different brands of infant formula vary, on average, by 5 percent or less. Additionally, this rule would define the types and forms of infant formula that must be included in cost containment systems. It would also expand on conditions that must be met for the issuance of infant formulas not covered by rebate contracts. (92-013)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Stamp Program: Anticipating Income and Reporting Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises Food Stamp Program procedures for reporting and acting on changes in earned income. The changes are designed to increase State agency flexibility and improve procedures for determining the eligibility and benefits of households whose income fluctuates unpredictably. Under this rule, State agencies would choose from four different reporting requirements for households with earned income. The reporting requirement a State agency selects would replace the current requirement that households report a change of more than $25 in earned income. In addition to reporting a change in source of income, households would be required to report one of the following: A change in wage rate or salary and a change in part-time or full-time status, provided the household is certified for no more than 3 months; a change in wage rate or salary and a change of more than 5 hours a week that is expected to continue for more than a month; or a change in the amount earned of more than $100 a month. The reporting requirement for changes in unearned income would be increased to changes of more than $50 a month from the current threshold of changes of more than $25 a month. In addition to the above reporting options, State agencies would also be able to select the option of requiring households to report changes through a quarterly reporting system rather than at the time the changes become known to the household.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) regulations. The changes in this rule result from the findings of State and Federal program reviews and from audits and investigations conducted by the Office of Inspector General. This rule will revise: State agency criteria for approving and renewing institution applications; program training and other operating requirements for child care institutions and facilities; State- and institution-level monitoring requirements; and criteria for terminating agreements with institutions and day care homes. This rule also includes changes that are required by the Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-448), the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), the William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-336), the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-224), and the Grain Standards and Warehouse Improvement Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-472). 

The changes are designed to improve program operations and monitoring at the State and institution levels and, where possible, to streamline and simplify program requirements for State agencies and institutions. (95-024)]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In recent years, State and Federal program reviews have found numerous cases of mismanagement, abuse, and in some instances, fraud by child care institutions and facilities in the CACFP. These reviews revealed weaknesses in management controls over program operations and examples of regulatory noncompliance by institutions, including failure to pay facilities or failure to pay them in a timely manner; improper use of program funds for non-program expenditures; and improper meal reimbursements due to incorrect meal counts or to mis-categorized or incomplete income eligibility statements. In addition, audits and investigations conducted by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) have raised serious concerns regarding the adequacy of financial and administrative controls in CACFP. Based on its findings, OIG recommended changes to CACFP review requirements and management controls.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Some of the changes proposed in the rule are discretionary changes being made in response to deficiencies found in program reviews and OIG audits. Other changes codify statutory changes made by the Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-448), the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), the William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-336), the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-224), and the Grain Standards and Warehouse Improvement Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-472).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In developing the proposal, the Agency considered various alternatives to minimize burden on State agencies and institutions while ensuring effective program operation. Key areas in which alternatives were considered include State agency reviews of institutions and sponsoring organization oversight of day care homes.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rule contains changes designed to improve management and financial integrity in the CACFP. When implemented, these changes would affect all entities in CACFP, from USDA to participating children and children?s households. These changes will primarily affect the procedures used by State agencies in reviewing applications submitted by, and monitoring the performance of, institutions which are participating or wish to participate in the CACFP. Those changes which would affect institutions and facilities will not, in the aggregate, have a significant economic impact. 

Data on CACFP integrity is limited, despite numerous OIG reports on individual institutions and facilities that have been deficient in CACFP management. While program reviews and OIG reports clearly illustrate that there are weaknesses in parts of the program regulations and that there have been weaknesses in oversight, neither program reviews, OIG reports, nor any other data sources illustrate the prevalence and magnitude of CACFP fraud and abuse. This lack of information precludes USDA from estimating the amount of money lost due to fraud and abuse or the reduction in fraud and abuse the changes in this rule will realize.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Continuing to operate the CACFP under existing provisions of the regulations that do not sufficiently protect against fraud and abuse in CACFP puts the program at significant risk. This rule includes changes designed to strengthen current program regulations to reduce the risk associated with the program.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Determining Eligibility for Free and Reduced-Price Meals and Free Milk in Schools: Provision 2 and Provision 3</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under an alternative known as Provision 2, schools that serve all meals at no charge for 3 consecutive years may distribute applications and make free and reduced price meal eligibility determinations once every 3 years. During year 1 of the 3-year cycle, they count and claim meals by category (free, reduced price, and paid) and use these counts to develop claiming percentages to use during years 2 and 3. Public Law 103-448 amended the NSLA to allow schools to extend these procedures an additional 2 years and allow subsequent 5-year cycles, without making new free and reduced price eligibility determinations, provided the income level of the school's population remained stable. Public Law 103-448 also added a new Provision 3 for schools that serve all meals at no charge for 4 consecutive years. These schools receive the same level of cash and commodity assistance they received in the last year free and reduced price eligibility determinations and actual meal counts were taken. Additional 4-year cycles were permitted, without making new free and reduced price eligibility determinations, provided the income level of the school's population remained stable. For both provisions, schools must make up the difference between Federal reimbursement and meal costs. Public Law 105-336 subsequently amended the timeframe for Provision 2 so that both Provisions 2 and 3 are 4-year cycles, which may be extended, without making new eligibility determinations, if the income level of the school's population remains stable. The rule will codify these provisions and specify technical aspects, such as the measurement of the income level of the school's population and the types of data that may be used.

The law leaves it to the discretion of the Secretary to determine the method of allocating funds to currently operating State agencies. This interim rule would implement a funding formula for the allocation of such expansion funds to existing FMNP State agencies. (98-003)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Child Nutrition Programs:  Reimbursement for Snacks in Afterschool Care Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 amended the National School Lunch Act to authorize reimbursement for snacks served under the NSLP in afterschool care programs operated by schools. The afterschool program must be organized primarily to provide care for children and have an educational or enrichment purpose. Additionally, the statute mandates free snacks for all children enrolled in afterschool care programs operated by schools in areas served by a school in which at least 50 percent of the enrolled children are certified for free or reduced price meals.

In the CACFP, the statute authorizes free snacks to children through age 18 enrolled in afterschool programs located in low-income areas. Low-income areas are defined in the law as areas in which at least 50 percent of the children are eligible for free or reduced price school meals. Therefore, individual eligibility determinations are not required for these programs. This rule also implements the provision of the law which permits outside school hours care programs to participate in CACFP if they meet health and safety standards where no State or local licensing or approval is required.

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Distribution Program: Deletion of Requirement To Evaluate State-Run Commodity Distribution and Warehousing Systems Every 3 Years</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 250.14(a) currently requires State distributing agencies that operate their own warehousing and distribution system to make a cost comparison of that system with a commercial system every 3 years. Most State distributing agencies have now either switched to a commercial system or evaluated their own system at least twice and determined it to be the most cost effective. Therefore, we propose to remove that requirement from our regulations. We will maintain the authority to require a cost comparison when circumstances warrant. We are suggesting a direct final rule rather than a proposed rule because we do not expect any objections to this discretionary change. (99-001)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule incorporates changes to the Child and Adult Care Food Program as required by the Agricultural Risk Protection Act (Pub. L. 106-224) to strengthen the management and integrity of the program.  Provisions include 1) changes to eligibility requirements for participating institutions; 2) conditions for approval, such as ensuring financial viability, stipulating that new sponsoring organizations are allowed to participate only where there is need for the program, and the elimination of "moving toward tax exempt status" of institutions; 3) new program monitoring requirements; 4) new parental notification requirements by CACFP centers or homes that describe the program and benefits and provide parents with access to the sponsoring organization and State agency; 5) rules on allowing corrective action and appeals in situations involving the termination or suspension of participating institutions, facilities, and individuals; 6) funds recovery in situations involving fraud, abuse, or improper submissions for reimbursement; and 7) limitation on the percentage of funds that sponsoring organizations of centers can retain from day care meal reimbursements for their administrative expenses.  These changes support the Department?s ongoing efforts in management and integrity improvement.  (00-005)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Nutrition Programs:  Disclosure of Children&apos;s Eligibility Information Under the Child Nutrition Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes requirements for the disclosure of children's free and reduced price meal and free milk eligibility information by agencies that makes the free and reduced price meal or free milk determination under the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, the Special Milk Program, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, and the Summer Food Service Program.  The rule responds to amendments to the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, which allow limited disclosure of children's free and reduced price meal or free milk eligibility information, Public Law 103-448, the Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 1994; and Public Law 106-224, the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000; comments received on the July 25, 2000, proposed rule on "Disclosure of Children's Eligibility Information" (65 FR 45725 issued under RIN 0584-AC21) and comments received on the January 11, 2001, interim rule on "Disclosure of Children's Eligibility Information to State Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance" (66 FR 2195 issued under RIN 0584-AC95).  This rule incorporates the proposed rule and interim rule into one final rule.  Therefore, RIN 0584-AC21 is withdrawn, and the final provisions will be issued under RIN 0584-AC95.  The final rule will adopt or modify as necessary many of the provisions mandated by the statute and required by the interim rule.  Many of these same provisions were presented as recommendations in the proposed rule.   The objective is to provide consistency in procedures when determining agencies opt to disclose children's eligibility information and to provide some protection against unauthorized disclosures and misuse of personal information, regardless of whether the disclosure is to Medicaid or SCHIP or to an education or other program.

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Distribution Programs: Plain Language Rewrite of 7 CFR Part 250, Donation of Foods for Use in the United States, Its Territories and Possessions, and Areas Under Its Jurisdiction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule makes no changes in the meaning of the regulations; it is only a reorganization and rewriting of the existing text in plain language.  Our goal in rewriting is simple and two-fold:  Allow the reader to quickly find and easily understand desired subject matter.  The rewrite accomplishes our first goal by presenting material in a more logical sequence where needed, and most importantly, by splitting the text into much smaller and more easily scanned units.  We have greatly increased the number of sections within the part, also increased the number of paragraphs within each of the new sections, and made greater use of italicized headings.  By increasing the number of sections, we have "flattened" the regulation?s structure.  This in turn generally allows the elimination of at least one level of codification, despite the increased number of paragraphs and subparagraphs within each section.  The result is much easier scanning of the sections for subject matter, further aided by the italicized headings.  Each section is headed by a question on a major aspect of the regulations, which is then answered in the headings and paragraphs which follow.  Finally, our second goal, greater comprehensibility, is accomplished by the use of shorter sentences, the active voice, and common words, except for necessary technical terms. (00-008)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Distribution Programs: Plain Language Rewrite of 7 CFR Part 254, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) in Oklahoma</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule makes no changes in the meaning of the regulations; it is only a reorganization and rewriting of the existing text in plain language.  Our goal in rewriting is simple and twofold: Allow the reader to quickly find and easily understand desired subject matter.  The rewrite accomplishes our first goal by presenting material in a more logical sequence where needed, and most importantly, by splitting the text into much smaller and more easily scanned units.  We have greatly increased the number of sections within the part, also increased the number of paragraphs within each of the new sections, and made greater use of italicized headings.  By increasing the number of sections, we have "flattened" the regulation?s structure.  This in turn generally allows the elimination of at least one level of codification, despite the increased number of paragraphs and subparagraphs within each section.  The result is much easier scanning of the sections for subject matter, further aided by the italicized headings.  Each section is headed by a question on a major aspect of the regulations, which is then answered in the headings and paragraphs which follow.  Finally, our second goal, greater comprehensibility, is accomplished by the use of shorter sentences, the active voice, and common words, except for necessary technical terms. (00-012)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[1) Poultry and fruit and vegetables may currently be substituted for commodities under pilots and waivers.  Due to the success of these programs, the regulations will be changed to allow such commercial substitution on a permanent basis.  2) Due to changes in the commercial market and the food donation program, the Department will allow vendors to use their own labels in place of USDA donated labels for school programs.  This will complicate school?s recordkeeping and inventory procedures.  The regulations will be modified to accommodate the change in labels. (01-001)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The President?s Memorandum of June 1, 1998, recommended that existing Federal Government documents be rewritten in plain language as time and resources are available.  This direct final rule contains the plain language rewrite of the procedures for administering State administrative expense funds.  These procedures are found at 7 CFR part 235.  The rewrite contains shorter sections, simpler words and phrases, personal pronouns, and lists and tables.  These plain language tools are intended to make the procedures clearer and easier to both read and understand.  However, this direct final rule does not include any changes in policy, and will not have a significant impact on the economy or program participants.  (00-006)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nutrition Education and Training Program:  7 CFR Part 227, Plain Language Rewrite</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The President?s Memorandum of June 1, 1998, recommended that existing Federal Government documents be rewritten in plain language as time and resources are available.  This direct final rule contains the plain language rewrite of the procedures for administering the Nutrition Education and Training Program.  These procedures are found at 7 CFR part 227.  The rewrite contains shorter sections, simpler words and phrases, and lists.  These plain language tools are intended to make the procedures clearer and easier to both read and understand.  However, this direct final rule does not include any changes in policy, and will not have a significant impact on the economy or program participants. (00-013)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>WIC: Plain Language Rewrite of 7 CFR Part 248, Farmers&apos; Market Nutrition Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule makes no changes in the meaning of the regulations; it is only a reorganization and rewriting of the existing text in plain language.  Our goal in rewriting is simple and two-fold:  Allow the reader to quickly find and easily understand desired subject matter.  The rewrite accomplishes our first goal by presenting material in a more logical sequence where needed and, most importantly, by splitting the text into much smaller and more easily scanned units.  We have greatly increased the number of sections within the part, also increased the number of paragraphs within each of the new sections, and made greater use of italicized headings.  By increasing the number of sections, we have "flattened" the regulation?s structure.  This in turn generally allows the elimination of at least one level of codification, despite the increased number of paragraphs and subparagraphs within each section.  The result is much easier scanning of the sections for subject matter, further aided by the italicized headings.  Each section is headed by a question on a major aspect of the regulations, which is then answered in the headings and paragraphs which follow.  Finally, our second goal, greater comprehensibility, is accomplished by the use of shorter sentences, the active voice, and common words, except for necessary technical terms.  (01-004)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservation:  Resource Limits and Exclusions, Extended Certification Periods, and  Transitional Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend FDPIR regulations to: 1) Increase the standard FDPIR resource limit from $1750 to $2000 per household (households that include a member or members age 60 or over shall continue to have a resource limit of $3000); 2) allow a resource exclusion for the first $1500 of the value of one pre-paid funeral arrangement per household member (in instances where the total value of the agreement is not already excluded because it is funded under a life insurance policy or an inaccessible trust fund; 3) allow households in which all members are elderly or disabled to be certified for up to 24 months, provided that the State agency contacts the household at least once every 12 months;  and 4) allow States the option to provide transitional FDPIR benefits (for 3 months), at a minimum, to households with earnings that leave the Temporary Assistance Program for Needy Families (TANF).  All of the above provisions conform to Food Stamp Program policy and will ensure consistent treatment between the two programs. (01-005)]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule is intended to ensure that program participants are advised of the use of blended products.  (00-002)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hydropower Applications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is revising its current policy and procedures, implemented in February 1987, concerning administration of hydropower authorizations and the processing of proposals for hydropower projects affecting National Forest System lands. These revisions are necessary to make Agency policy and procedures consistent with regulatory changes by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The proposed policy was published in the Federal Register on May 22, 1995 (60 FR 27153), for a 60-day public comment period, which was extended for another 45 days (60 FR 36401). As a result of the comments received, substantial changes were made to the proposed policy (60 FR 36401). Therefore, the Forest Service is publishing a revised proposed policy for public comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Tracts Act Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Implementation of the Agency's Small Tracts regulations (adopted in 1984) has revealed an inadvertent inconsistency between the regulations at 36 CFR 254.35(f) and 254.41(a) and the legislative history of the Small Tracts Act of January 12, 1983. The regulations imply that the disposal of mineral fractions by sale can only be made in response to an application from an abutting landowner, thus discouraging the conveyance by sale to the public. The Act clearly authorizes sale of mineral fractions to the public through public sale, as well as individual applications, provided that certain conditions are met. The revisions will clarify the application of the Act to ensure that both individual applications and public sale are permissible means of disposing of qualifying tracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend 36 CFR 223.200 to list species proposed to be surplus to domestic manufacturing needs. This proposed rule would implement a portion of section 620a(b) of the Forest Resources Conservation and Shortage Relief Act of 1990 (16 U.S.C. 620 et seq.). Section 620a(a) of the Act provides that no person who acquires unprocessed timber originating from Federal lands west of the 100th meridian in the contiguous 48 States may export such timber from the United States, or sell, trade, exchange, or otherwise convey such timber from the United States, unless such timber has been determined under subsection (b) to be surplus to the needs of timber manufacturing facilities in the United States. Section 620a(b) of the Act provides that the prohibition contained in section (a) shall not apply to specific quantities of grades and species of unprocessed timber originating in Federal lands which the Secretary determines, through rulemaking, to be surplus to domestic manufacturing needs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule and policy change will provide for extension of National Forest System (NFS) timber sale contracts when such extension will permit the prompt removal and utilization of non-NFS timber damaged by catastrophic events. The change will define the responsibilities of the parties for requesting and approving such extensions and specify when such extension should be approved. This change will also allow for the use of scarce timber resources and the recovery of economic benefits from timber that might otherwise be lost because of contractual obligations to harvest undamaged timber.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In February 1994, the Forest Service published proposed rule changes for parts 261 and 262 of title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Due to the high level of interest in and comment on part 261, the decision was made to publish a second proposed rule. The majority of the public comment on part 262 referred to the definition section, which has been revised to respond to those comments. The Forest Service has decided to issue a second proposed rule for comment on part 262, Law Enforcement Support Activities. Proposed revisions to part 261 will proceed separately.

In addition, the proposed amendment to 36 CFR part 262, Law Enforcement Support Activities, would amend the rules that govern monetary rewards and payments for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people who harm natural resources or threaten employees. The proposed rule would remove established rewards for damaging or stealing yew trees, the natural source of taxol, as taxol is now produced synthetically. The change also would clarify the procedures in subpart B for administrative impoundments and removals of livestock, dogs, and personal property.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Noncompetitive Sale of Timber</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise 36 CFR 223.85 by removing references to section 2001(k) of Public Law 104-19 (109 Stat. 246) and define "extraordinary conditions" to allow forest officers, without advertisement, to make modifications to timber and forest product sales, which result in the substitution of timber or forest products from outside the sale area specified in the contract. Under the proposed rule, substitute timber or forest products would have to come from the same administrative national forest and meet Agency requirements for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and other environmental laws. This proposed rule would not compel a timber purchaser to accept a timber sale modification offered under this rule. The rule only authorizes the Forest Service to propose modifications and to enter into discussions with purchasers on such modifications. 

This proposed rule will reduce timber sale cancellations and partial cancellations, thus reducing future damage claims on timber sales.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification of Exemptions From Special-Use Authorizations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In April 1997, the Forest Service completed a reengineering study of its special uses program on how to manage the program in a more businesslike, customer-service-oriented way. The Agency proposes the following revisions to 36 CFR 251.50 that would implement recommendations from this study. The study determined that many units are issuing special use authorizations unnecessarily, thereby increasing workloads. The study concluded that the Agency should clarify the special uses rules at section 251.50(a) to make explicitly clear that special use authorizations should not be issued for activities that are regulated by other Forest Service regulations; for example, those governing the disposal of timber (part 223); minerals (part 228); the use of forest development roads and trails (part 212 and section 251.110); and the grazing of cattle (part 222). The study also concluded that section 251.50(d) should be revised to direct that special use authorizations should not be issued where such authorization would serve no land or resource management objective and would have nominal effects on National Forest System lands; for example, where activities are adequately regulated by other governmental entities or where an authorized officer determines that normal operation and maintenance by the holder is within the scope of a right-of-way, easement, or other valid existing real property interest. Further, the rule at section 251.50(c) would be revised to clarify that, in emergency situations, a special use authorization should be sought at the earliest opportunity following the emergency to ensure that appropriate measures are carried out to protect National Forest System lands after the emergency situation no longer exists.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Fixed Anchors in Wilderness</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to issue regulations on the use of climbing equipment in designated wilderness areas within the National Forest System (NFS). Prior to the adoption of the Wilderness Act, certain climbing equipment, including rock bolts, have been placed in rock faces by climbers. This practice has continued for several decades and is the focus of controversy among wilderness users. An increase in the popularity of bolt-intensive form of rock climbing in the early 1990s has fueled this controversy. Some wilderness advocates consider rock bolts and other anchors, left behind by climbers, as permanent improvements. 

To address this issue on NFS lands, a negotiated rulemaking committee was convened in June 2000. After four 2-day meetings, the group failed to reach consensus on several aspects of the issue; however, consensus was reached on other aspects. The Agency is moving forward with a proposal that utilizes the advice of the committee and the aspects that were agreed upon by the committee. The Agency intends to propose for public comment several alternatives to define and regulate permanent fixed anchors, including bolts. Resolving these issues through rulemaking is preferable to other dispute resolution alternatives, such as litigation or legislative amendment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Determining Fair Market Value for Recreation Residence Use Authorizations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The appropriations act for the Department of the Interior and related agencies for fiscal year 2001 (Pub.L. 106-291) contains provisions in title VI "Cabin User Fee Fairness Act of 2000" to ensure consistent and fair processes for appraising the fee simple value of recreation residence lots on National Forest System (NFS) lands. This act (1) establishes in law that the base annual fee for recreation residences is 5 percent of the market value of the lot; (2) changes the appraisal cycle period from 20 years to 10 years; and (3) requires the Secretary of Agriculture to (a) complete an inventory of utilities, access, and facilities serving each recreation residence tract or lot and document who paid for the installation of those improvements; (b) develop a new set of guidelines for conducting appraisals for recreation residences on NFS lands; (c) use a different annual indexing indicator; and (d) issue new Agency direction to implement the provisions of the Act within 2 years of its passage (10/11/2000). The Forest Service proposes to publish notice in the Federal Register of policy changes to the Forest Service Manual (FSM 2723) and Handbooks (FSH 2709.11, sec. 33; and FSH 5409.12, ch. 6) that would make Agency direction consistent with the requirements in the Act for the base annual fee and appraisal cycle (described in the preceding items (1) and (2)) and to request public comment on those policy changes related to the inventory, guidelines for appraisals, and indexing indicator (described in the preceding items (3)(a) to (3)(d). Comments will be considered in development of the final policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inventoried Roadless Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is seeking public comment on the management of Inventoried Roadless Areas.  These areas cover 58.5 million acres, or nearly one-third of the National Forest System.  On January 12, 2001, USDA published a final rule prohibiting road construction, reconstruction, and timber harvesting in Inventoried Roadless Areas on National Forest System lands.  On May 4, 2001, the Secretary of Agriculture stated her intent to implement the rule, with modifications to be proposed later.  On May 10, 2001, the District Court of Idaho preliminarily enjoined implementation of the rule.  There are seven additional lawsuits seeking to overturn the rule.  Continuing controversy over the rule, the process used to develop the rule, and the long-term protection of roadless values, as well as legal uncertainties, make it impractical to offer a proposed rule at this time.  However, the Secretary wants public input on these issues.  This advance notice of proposed rulemaking allows the Secretary to get comment without prejudicing the outcome of legal proceedings which, along with consideration of public comment and other input, will govern whether USDA will proceed to a proposed rule.

To stabilize the management situation while the roadless rule is being litigated, the Chief has issued interim directives to reserve the authority for approving timber harvest and road building in roadless areas.  Notice of the interim directives was published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2001 (66 FR 44111) with a request for public comments for consideration in adopting final direction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Forest System Land and Resource Management Planning</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to revise the November 9, 2000, land and resource management planning rule.  This action responds to serious concerns raised by employees and others about the Agency's ability to implement some provisions of the November 2000 rule.  The Agency's ability to promptly implement the November 9, 2000, planning regulations has also been called into question through pending litigation.  A coalition of environmental organizations (Citizens for Better Forestry et al., v. USFS (N.D. Calif.)) and a coalition of timber and grazing interests (American Forest & Paper Association et al., v. Veneman (D. D.C.)) have filed separate lawsuits challenging both the implementability and the legality of the new planning regulations on a variety of grounds. The Forest Service has been asked to resolve deficiencies in the November 2000 rule.  In so doing, the Forest Service plans to ensure that issues or deficiencies that have evolved from over 2 decades of forest planning are also addressed.  The goal is to develop a new rule that improves the planning process, decisionmaking, and legal defensibility of land and resource management plans. The goal of the Department is to have a revised planning rule in place by the end of the calendar year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Environmental Policy Act Documentation for Certain Small Administrative Timber Sales on National Forest System Lands and Research Projects (Forest Service Handbook 1909.15, Chapter 30)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1999, as a result of a court action, the Forest Service lost the ability to use a categorical exclusion from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation for small timber sales.  This category was used extensively for small timber sales to remove hazard trees, treat insect and disease outbreaks, and provide related timber products for local communities.  As a consequence, the responsible official must now prepare an environmental assessment (EA) on these small volume timber sales (under 250,000 board feet of green timber or 1 million board feet of salvage timber).  This has resulted in a Service-wide increase in environmental analysis costs and delays in beginning and completing these small timber sale projects on the National Forests and Research Experimental Forests.  This proposal would categorically exclude from documentation in an EA or environmental impact statement (EIS) certain types of small timber sales in the National Forests and Research Experimental Forests and would enable the Agency to accomplish in a more timely and efficient manner the treatment of small fire hazard areas, insect and disease outbreaks, and hazard tree removal.  This new categorical exclusion would be added to the existing categories for categorical exclusions in chapter 30 of Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.15, and by Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulation, this proposal requires public notice and opportunity to comment.  For convenience and cost savings, the final directive may be issued temporarily as an interim directive to chapter 30 of FSH 1909.15 but would be incorporated as an amendment as soon as there are sufficient other changes to the chapter to warrant revision of the entire chapter.  Decisions using this new category may be subject to a 30-day public comment period and administrative appeal under 36 CFR part 215]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1992, the Appeal Reform Act mandated the Forest Service to develop appeal regulations for site-specific projects on National Forest System lands.  The regulations were promulgated in 1994.  Seven years of experience have shown there are certain provisions in the regulations that consistently give rise to questions by employees and the public and reduce efficient processing of administrative appeals.  This proposed rule would revise the appeal regulations to bring better focus to public participation and to improve consistency in the application of this regulation, both of which would result in improved efficiency of the appeals process for the public and the Government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Road Management Policy (Forest Service Manual Chapter 7710)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 12, 2001 (66 FR 3205), the Forest Service adopted a new road management policy to improve the analysis and decisionmaking of the National Forest System road system.  As part of a Governmentwide review of recently adopted rules and policies announced January 20, the Chief has conducted an internal review of the new road management policy.  As a consequence, the Agency has identified several changes to be made to Forest Service Manual (FSM) chapter 7710.  The first of these was to issue an interim directive (ID No. 7710-2001-1) to redelegate the authority for extending deadlines for completion of forest-scale analysis from the Chief to the Regional Foresters.  Additionally, the ID granted all units an additional year to complete road inventories and analysis.  This ID was effective May 31, 2001.  The Agency followed with a notice in the Federal Register with a request for comment, which has not yet been published. The Agency also has determined that the interim requirements of the road management policy limiting road construction in roadless and contiguous unroaded areas are not relevant to the road management policy; rather, these requirements should be dealt with in the context of overall management of roadless areas.  Moreover, field units generally are finding it difficult to determine how to identify and map contiguous unroaded areas, and in some recent cases involving access to oil and gas and other minerals, the interim requirements are requiring EISs for minimal road construction or reconstruction along the edge of inventoried roadless areas and contiguous unroaded areas, with resultant delays in project decisions.  The Agency is preparing a second ID to rescind these interim requirements.  Although the ID will be immediately effective, a notice with a request for comment will be published in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets forth Forest Service procedures and role in the regulation of Indian allotments on National Forest System land. The Indian Allotment Act, as amended, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to make allotments of National Forest System lands to Indians for homesteading and agricultural and grazing purposes. The Forest Service has relied upon USDI rules and procedures at 43 CFR 2533 to govern its involvement in Indian allotment cases. Litigation and a decision by the Interior Board of Land Appeals require the Forest Service to set forth its own regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Current regulations governing cancellation of National Forest timber sale contracts do not adequately protect the Government's financial interests in the event the Forest Service is forced to cancel contracts due to events beyond its control arising from compliance with environmental statutes. This rulemaking would remove an unworkable compensation-of-damages formula and establish a termination-for-environmental-protection clause in timber sale contracts, a standard in most Federal procurement contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is issuing regulations to define and establish procedures for administering the statutory rights and preferences established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 for historical operators, Native Corporations, and local residents to conduct revenue producing visitor services on certain National Forest System Lands in Alaska. The regulations are necessary to comply with section 1307 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, which requires the Secretary of Agriculture to give preference to persons he determines by rule are local residents. The regulations, which have been developed in close consultation with the other Federal land managing agencies in Alaska, will apply only to Conservation System Units administered by the Forest Service. As applied to these regulations, administered Conservation System Units are Forest Service National Monuments and units of the National Wild and Scenic River Systems, National Trails System, and the National Wilderness Preservation System in Alaska.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Categorical Exclusion for Certain Special Uses Permit Actions (FSH 1909.15, Chapter 30)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In April 1997, the Forest Service completed a reengineering study of its special uses program. One finding in that study was that the Forest Service is conducting extensive National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis and documentation for the renewal or transfer of ownership of special use authorizations having no significant effect on the human environment, either individually or cumulatively. This level of NEPA compliance is costly, time consuming, and not commensurate with the risk attributed to the activity. Therefore, the Forest Service proposes to add a new category of categorical exclusions from NEPA documentation at sections 31.1b and 31.2 of FSH 1909.15, Environmental Policy and Procedures Handbook. This action would give clearer direction regarding the NEPA obligation, when issuance of a special use authorization is a purely ministerial action and no changes are proposed in permitted activities or facilities. 

Further, the Forest Service proposes to amend section 30.3 to clarify the NEPA documentation that is needed for processing applications and authorizations under a categorical exclusion when extraordinary circumstances exist. There is confusion surrounding  section 30.3 about the "mere presence" of an extraordinary circumstance and the implication of a need for an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Forest Service proposes to amend this section to provide that an identified extraordinary circumstance must clearly have a significant impact on the National Forest resource to merit preparation of an EA or EIS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Forest System Land and Resource Management Planning; Extension of Compliance Deadline</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Agriculture is proposing to amend the November 2000 land and resource management planning rule  to extend for 1 year the date specified in 36 CFR 219.35(b) by which all plan amendments and revisions would be subject to the new planning rule requirements.  This proposed rule will allow for public comment on the extension of the May 9, 2001, compliance date to May 9, 2002.  The Department has determined that the May 9, 2001, date is impracticable for several reasons:  (1)  According to the new regulations, units not publishing a draft environmental document by May 9, 2001, would be required to abandon the 1982 rule procedures and start over using the new planning process.  Approximately 20 units of the National Forest System have begun revising their plans under the 1982 rule, and numerous amendments are also underway.  Extensive amounts of public involvement and analysis have already been invested in these efforts, and most of the units are not able to meet the May 9, 2001, deadline.  The new regulations are substantially different from the 1982 regulations.  As a consequence, the Agency would waste valuable time and resources halting and restarting these planning efforts already underway.  For these reasons, it would be impracticable for the Department to require these units to adhere to the May 9, 2001, deadline.  (2) Because of the complexity of the new regulations, the Agency has been unable to complete the necessary policy and procedural guidance needed to implement the new rule.  In addition, training programs have not been developed, and technical support for many of the complex new analytical requirements of the new rule are not yet available.  (3) The Department has been made aware of serious concerns about the Agency's ability to implement some provisions of the new planning rule. Therefore, extending the compliance date for 1 year to May 9, 2002, would also allow the Department to review the regulation carefully and determine if any adjustments are necessary to improve its implementation. Because the May 9, 2001, compliance date is imminent, the Department simultaneously published an interim final rule that would immediately extend the compliance deadline.  While this interim action is necessary to grant relief to the approximately 20 units that have begun plan revisions under the 1982 regulations but cannot meet the impending deadline, the Department believes that the public should have an opportunity to comment on this extension. Consequently, the Department is planning to publish a proposed rule with a request for public comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Appeal of Decisions Relating to Occupancy and Use of National Forest System Lands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations would redesignate these appeals rules as a new part 214, thus placing all appeals and notices and comment rules in close proximity. Additionally, this proposed rule would revise a number of existing provisions. For example, changes to part 251 would clarify the application of this rule to the issuance of permits for occupancy and use of National Forest System lands. When 36 CFR part 251, subpart C, regulations were promulgated in 1989, NEPA analysis and documentation was not consistently applied to the authorization of special uses. Now the authorization and the issuance of permits and other authorization requires application of the NEPA process prior to issuance. In addition, since these regulations were implemented, Congress has passed the Appeal Reform Act. The proposed changes to the permit-related appeal rules are needed to make this regulation consistent with regulations at 36 CFR part 215. Among specific proposed changes being considered are removing the second level of appeal opportunity, removing the discretionary review option, shortening timeframes for scheduling oral presentations, and changes to conform terminology and definitions with 36 CFR part 215.]]></ABSTRACT>

In the published revised circular, OMB specified as "required action" that Federal agencies responsible for awarding and administering grants and other agreements to recipients described therein, shall adopt the language of the Circular unless other provisions are required by Federal Statute or exceptions or deviations are approved by OMB. This interim final rule adopts the provisions of the Circular and its language to the maximum extent feasible with minor language changes made to make the language apply specifically to the DOC and its operating units.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Periodically, OMB amends the Governmentwide common rule for suspension and debarment of contractors and assistance participants who threaten the integrity of Federal programs because of criminal misconduct or poor performance. Agencies must issue changes to their individual codified versions to conform to the common rule. Recently, the Interagency Suspension and Debarment Coordinating Committee prepared recommendations for comprehensive changes to the Common Rule to conform to changes made in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as a result of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act. In addition, several other proposals to improve or change the rule are included.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of the Census is amending the Foreign Trade Statistics Regulations to clarify the provisions for reporting the value of merchandise on the Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) when the inland and freight and insurance charges are not known. Current provisions define the value to be reported on the SED as the value at the U.S. port of export including inland freight and insurance charges. In situations where inland freight and insurance charges are not known the Census Bureau will require that the exporter add 3 percent of the value of the commodity to the value to determine the total value to be reported on the SED.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Conducting Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 19, 1997 (62 FR 27296), the Department of Commerce (the Department) published final rules on, inter alia, procedures for conducting antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings to conform the Department's existing regulations to the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). Although these regulations contain provisions on the conduct of sunset reviews, the Department is planning to amend the regulations to provide more guidance on the procedures for conducting sunset reviews. Specifically, the Department proposes to amend the procedural regulations for participation in, and conduct of, sunset reviews to add two definitions to provide shorthand expressions for 120-day and 240-day sunset reviews; provide deadlines for certain submissions; clarify the information to be provided by parties participating in a sunset review; clarify when the Department will conduct a 120-day or a 240-day sunset review, and provide time limits for actions to be taken by the Department.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend ITA regulations by further clarifying the range of documents that may be needed for verification of the duty-free shipments of jewelry into the United States and by clarifying which wages qualify as creditable and which do not for purposes of calculating the duty-refund for watches and jewelry. The proposed rule would also amend the regulations by making minor editorial changes within the definition of "new firm" for watches. Finally, the proposed rule would amend the duty-refund process by dividing the amount of the duty refund allowed under the annual certificate of entitlement into two installments thereby helping producers receive benefits in a more timely fashion.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Rocket Launches From the Kodiak Launch Complex, Kodiak Island, Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS has received a request from the Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation (AADC) for a Letter of Authorization (LOA) to take small numbers of marine mammals incidental to rocket launches from the Kodiak Launch Complex (KLC), Kodiak Island, Alaska.  As a result of that request, NMFS is proposing regulations that would authorize the incidental taking of a small number of marine mammals.  In order to issue such regulations, NMFS must determine that these takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of marine mammal species or stocks for subsistence uses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sea Turtle Monitoring and Conservation Measures for Nonshrimp Fisheries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to protect sea turtles through the implementation of sea turtle conservation measures on nonshrimp fisheries. Bottom trawlers in the mid-Atlantic take sea turtles when not using turtle excluder devices (TEDs) and may jeopardize the continued existence of endangered sea turtles. NMFS proposes to require TEDs in all bottom trawlers operating from Texas through Delaware. Other non-shrimp fisheries using tow lines, gill nets, or other gear probably take significant numbers of sea turtles. In order to better quantify that level of take, NMFS proposes to require observers in all fisheries suspected of taking turtles in all U.S. waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amend the foreign fishing regulations at 50 CFR part 600 subpart F to authorize foreign fishing under a Pacific Insular Area Fishery Agreement (PIAFA). Foreign fishing vessels fishing under a PIAFA would be authorized to fish in the EEZ around American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and other U.S. insular areas in the Pacific. Prior to the negotiation of a PIAFA, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands must develop a three-year Marine Conservation Plan (MCP) detailing the use of funds collected under a PIAFA. A MCP must be consistent with relevant Fishery Management Plans. The Magnuson-Stevens Act further provides that fees received by the Secretary for foreign fishing under a PIAFA for American Samoa, Guam, or the Northern Mariana Islands shall be deposited into the United States Treasury and then covered over to the Treasury of the Pacific Insular Area for which the funds were collected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment To Fund Purchase of Limited Entry Trawl Permits To Reduce Excess Capacity in Pacific Coast Groundfish Fleet</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations would authorize Federal purchase of Pacific Coast groundfish limited entry trawl permits, under section 312(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, "Fishing Capacity Reduction Program." Federal purchase of trawl permits would be considered a "loan" to the trawl fleet, which would be repaid by that fleet through a tax on groundfish landings by limited entry trawl vessels. The goal of this program would be to match effort within the fishery more closely with available resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sea Turtle Conservation Regulations; Shrimp Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS issues this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to announce that it is considering publishing regulations that would make technical changes to the requirements for turtle excluder devices (TEDs) to increase their effectiveness. In particular, NMFS is considering increasing the size of TED escape openings to allow larger turtles to escape. The options NMFS is currently considering are: Requiring the leatherback opening with a minimum 32-inch grid in all areas (71-inch opening), or requiring a 35-inch by 16-inch opening with a minimum 30-inch grid in all areas. In addition, NMFS is considering other modifications to the TED regulations, including modifying or decertifying hooped hard TEDs and weedless TEDs, changing the requirements for the types of flotation devices allowed, and extending the requirement to have a short flap and grid angle of no greater than 45 degree on bottom opening TEDs (other than TEDs equipped with the leatherback opening) to all areas in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the Southeast U.S. Atlantic. NMFS is also considering modifications to the leatherback contingency plan (50 CFR 223.206(d)(2)(iv)) to provide better protection to leatherback turtles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Generic Amendment Addressing the Establishment of the Tortugas Marine Reserves Under the Fishery Management Plans of the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Generic Tortugas Amendment would amend the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's fishery management plans to establish the portion of the Tortugas North ecological reserve that falls within the Gulf of Mexico EEZ and to establish the Tortugas South Ecological Reserve, which resides entirely within the EEZ and includes Riley's Hump (a fish spawning aggregation site).  Fishing for any species, including Atlantic highly migratory species, would be prohibited within these marine reserves.  Additionally, anchoring by fishing vessels would be prohibited within the marine reserves. Along with regulations issued by the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (under NOAA's National Ocean Service), the Generic Tortugas Amendment would protect unique and valuable reef resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the FMP's framework procedure for regulatory adjustments, the Gulf Council requested that NMFS develop alternative data collection procedures and statistical tests to certify bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) for use in the shrimp fishery of the Gulf of Mexico. The regulation would provide additional flexibility in sampling procedures to facilitate BRDS meeting the testing/certifying protocol's requirements while maintaining the scientific and statistical credibility in achieving the FMP's established bycatch reduction criterion for certified BRDs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to FMPs for Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish and Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources To Limit Entry Into Gulf of Mexico Recreational-for-Hire Fisheries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These amendments to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico and to the FMP for the Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic would impose additional measures limiting entry into the recreational-for-hire (i.e., charter vessel and headboat) fisheries for reef fish and coastal migratory pelagic fish (e.g., king and Spanish mackerel) in the exclusive economic zone of the Gulf of Mexico.  NMFS published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking announcing that the Council was considering November 18, 1999, as a possible control date for this action (63 FR 64031).  The FMP amendments would address the issue of the recreational sectors exceeding their annual allocations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Swordfish Quotas and Fishing Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would implement several recommendations adopted by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) in November 2000. These recommendations include a ban on the importation of bigeye tuna from non-members Belize, Honduras, Cambodia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and ICCAT member Equatorial Guinea, the development of statistical document programs for swordfish and bigeye tuna to monitor harvests and assist in the collection of trade data, the establishment of a 400 metric ton conservation reserve for North Atlantic swordfish and the establishment of a 2001 catch limit for South Atlantic swordfish, consistent with catch limits in recent years. This rule would also clarify authorized fishing areas for highly migratory species in the Atlantic Ocean.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS announces that it is considering, and seeking public comment on, revisions to Federal American lobster regulations for Federal permit holders associated with Amendment 3 of the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for American Lobster (ISFMP).  Addendum I to Amendment 3 of the ISFMP, approved by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) on August 3, 1999, provides for the control of fishing effort as determined by historical participation in the American lobster trap fisheries in offshore  waters of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and areas of the EEZ closer to shore between New York and North Carolina. The addendum also clarifies lobster management area boundaries in Massachusetts waters. In addition, the ISFMP calls for the implementation of conservation equivalent trap limits in New Hampshire waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fishing Capacity Reduction Program for the Crab Species Covered by the Fishery Management Plan for the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Establishes a fishing capacity reduction program in the fishery for the crab species covered by the Fishery Management Plan for the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs.  The crab reduction program makes payments for revoking crab licenses in, and withdrawing fishing vessels from, the crab fishery.  Reducing the number of crab licenses and vessels in the crab fishery increases post-reduction harvesting productivity, helps conserve and manage the crab resources, and fosters the potential for rationalizing crab fishery harvesting effort.  The proposed regulations add a new section 600.1018 to the fishing capacity reduction framework regulations contained in subpart L to 50 CFR part 600.]]></ABSTRACT>

Under the year-four default measures, which are currently scheduled to become effective on May 1, 2002, vessels would be prohibited from fishing for whiting with mesh less than 3 inches (square or diamond) in almost all New England and Mid-Atlantic fisheries, and a 10,000 lb possession limit would automatically be implemented for whiting and offshore hake, combined.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 5 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the South Atlantic Region</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement Amendment 5 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (FMP).  This rule proposes to: (1) Establish a license limitation program for the rock shrimp fishery prosecuted south of the South Carolina-Georgia border in the South Atlantic Region that: (a) have held a valid rock shrimp permit prior to December 31, 1999; and (b) can demonstrate landings of at least 15,000 pounds in any one year from 1996 to 1999; (2) require captains operating permitted vessels fishing for rock shrimp in the South Atlantic EEZ to have a vessel operator's permit issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service to participate in the fishery; (3) require the minimum allowable mesh size for a trawl used to fish in the South Atlantic EEZ for rock shrimp be 1 and 7/8 inch stretched mesh; and (4) any vessel fishing for rock shrimp in the South Atlantic Council's EEZ will be required to use an approved vessel monitoring system that would not exceed $1,200 in cost for equipment and installation.  Annual communication costs would not exceed $800.  

This amendment would be controversial.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Fishery Management Plan for Highly Migratory Species Fisheries Off the West Coast</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These actions would publish proposed and final rules for a Fishery Management Plan for Highly Migratory Species Fisheries off the West Coast (FMP).  The FMP is currently under development by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) under the terms of the Magnuson-Stevens Act and other applicable law.  The FMP will both establish a process for implementing regulations as deemed necessary in the future and provide a basis for initial regulation of selected fishery sectors (e.g., drift gillnet and longline) to ensure conservation of the fish stocks involved and protection of species of special concern such as sea turtles and seabirds.  The FMP will include substantial environmental and economic analyses consistent with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Executive Order 12296 and other laws and orders.  Steps for reviewing and implementing approved elements of the FMP are set forth in the Magnuson-Stevens Act and include provisions for publication of proposed and final rules within certain time periods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 30, 1994, the President signed Pub. L. 103-238, the Marine Mammal Protection Act Amendments of 1994. One part of this law implemented a new section 101(a)(4) to authorize the nonlethal harassment takings by citizens of the United States to deter marine mammals from: (1) Damaging commercial fishing gear or catch; (2) damaging private property; (3) endangering public safety; or (4) damaging public property. The amendments require a list of guidelines for use in safely deterring marine mammals and provide for prohibiting certain deterrent measures that may have a significant adverse impact on marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS has received an application from the U.S. Navy for authorization to take marine mammals incidental to the worldwide deployment of its new low frequency active sonar system. The U.S. Navy anticipates deployment of up to 4 shipboard systems within the next 5 years. This authorization can be granted under the Marine Mammal Protection Act provided the taking of marine mammals is incidental, is having no more than a negligible impact on small numbers of marine mammals and is not having an unmitigatable impact on Arctic subsistence needs. If an authorization is granted monitoring and reporting takings will be required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sea Turtle Conservation Regulations; Summer Flounder Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service intends to amend the Turtle Excluder Device (TED) requirements for summer flounder trawlers at 50 CFR 223.206(d)(2)(iii). The rule change would require the use of a TED extension with a hard TED. The extension could not be more than 3.5-inch stretched mesh. The extension could extend not more than 24 inches and not less than 36 inches in front of and behind the TED. New information came to light over the winter and during TED testing in June 1999 that TED installation in larger mesh results in many turtle captures and deaths. The fishery will begin at the beginning of October, and many preventable sea turtle deaths would occur if the rule is not in place prior. Bringing the rule into effect during the course of the fishery would also be disruptive to the fishermen.

The rule is not significant and the cost to the fishermen for compliance will be minimal: less than $20 for materials and about 2 hours to reinstall the TED (many fishermen already reinstall their TEDs on an annual basis).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would prohibit the use of set net gear to take groundfish species in a portion of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) seaward of California. This rule has been requested by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) under procedures in the Pacific Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) that allow for implementing Federal regulations to conform to State regulations for the groundfish fishery in selected circumstances. The Council has determined that the State regulations prohibiting the use of set net gear used to take groundfish species in certain areas are consistent with the FMP and requested Federal adoption of consistent regulations in the EEZ. The conformance with State regulations is desired to ensure consistent application of conservation and management measures and enforcement in the EEZ and in State waters to the extent practicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action implements the terms and conditions of a biological opinion on the effects of the continued operation of the Hawaii-based longline fishery on the short-tailed albatross, and seabird mitigation measures proposed by the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council. All operators of vessels registered for use under Hawaii pelagic longline limited access permits will be required to use specific bird mitigation techniques when fishing with pelagic longline gear north of 23 degrees N. latitude; all vessel operators and owners must annually attend a protected species workshop conducted by NMFS; and all hooked or entangled sea birds, including the endangered short-tailed albatross, must be released in a manner that maximizes their post-release survival.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Announcement of the 2002 Groundfish Fishery Specifications and Management Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS announces the 2001 fishery specifications and management measures for groundfish taken in the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and State waters of the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California.  The specifications include the levels of the acceptable biological catch (ABC) and optimum yields (OYs).  The commercial OYs (the OYs reduced by expected discard and by amounts expected to be taken in tribal, recreational, and compensation fisheries) are allocated between the limited entry and open access fisheries.  The management measures for 2002 are designed to keep landings within the OYs for those species for which there are OYs and to achieve the goals and objectives of the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and associated rebuilding plans for overfished stocks, consistent with the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the guidelines based on the National Standards in the Magnuson-Stevens Act published in the Federal Register on May 1, 1998.  These management measures are intended to prevent overfishing and to rebuild Pacific Coast groundfish stocks.  These measures are also intended to achieve as much harvest of healthier stocks as possible given the conservation requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action was originally intended to focus on measures to decrease regulatory discards in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) cod fishery.  However, based on the discard information and recreational catch information ascertained from the SARC 33 review of GOM cod in June 2001, management measures will be developed to decrease GOM cod discards and reduce mortality on GOM cod by 50 percent.  This action also proposes to allow tuna purse seine vessels access to the current groundfish closed areas and  expand the area available for the northern shrimp harvest in he GOM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Western Pacific Pelagics Fisheries; Hawaii-Based Pelagic Longline Restrictions and Seasonal Area Closure, Sea Turtle and Sea Bird Mitigation Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS issues this emergency interim rule that governs a vessel registered for use under a Hawaii longline limited access permit (Hawaii longline vessel).  The rule prohibits the targeting of swordfish north of the equator by Hawaii longline vessels; closes all longline fishing to Hawaii longline vessels during April and May in waters south of the Hawaiian Islands (from 15  N. lat. to the equator, and from 145  W. long. to 180  long.); allows re-registration of vessels to Hawaii longline limited access permits only in October; imposes additional sea turtle handling and resuscitation measures; and requires all Hawaii longline vessel operators to attend an annual protected species workshop.  This emergency interim rule implements an Order issued on March 30, 2001, by the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii (Court).  This Order superseded the Court's order of August 4, 2000, and this rule supersedes the emergency rules published on August 25, 2000; November 3, 2000; February 22, 2001; and March 19, 2001. Other parts of this rule implement the terms and conditions contained in a November 28, 2000, Biological Opinion (BO) issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the effects of the Hawaii-based longline fishery (Hawaii longline fishery) on the endangered short-tailed albatross.  Specifically, this rule requires Hawaii longline vessels fishing above the main Hawaiian Islands (north of 23  N. lat.) to use completely thawed and blue-dyed bait; to use a longline setting machine, to deploy branch lines that are weighted; to strategically discard offal and spent bait; and to employ seabird handling and resuscitation techniques in the event a short-tailed albatross is incidentally taken.  The BO also requires all Hawaii longline vessel operators to attend an annual protected species workshop.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is seeking comments on definitions for terms used in eligibility criteria that communities of western Pacific indigenous peoples must satisfy in order to participate in Western Pacific Community Development Programs and to receive grants for proposals they submit pursuant to the Western Pacific Demonstration Projects Grants Program.  Such grants awarded to successful applicant communities are designed to foster traditional, indigenous fishing practices in the western Pacific region.  In this proposed rule NMFS also approves the eligibility criteria themselves that were submitted to NMFS by the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council.  Finally, in this proposed rule NMFS announces the Western Pacific Demonstration Projects Grants Program and provides a brief description of the goals and structure of the grants program.  NMFS will provide further details of the grants program in the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Marine Mammal Regulations To Authorize Incidental Takings of Marine Mammals by Harassment as Authorized by Public Law 103-238</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 30, 1994, the President signed Pub. L. 103-238, the Marine Mammal Protection Act Amendments of 1994. One part of this law amended section 101(a)(5) to establish an expedited process by which citizens of the United States, who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specific geographic region, can apply for an authorization to incidentally take small numbers of marine mammals by harassment. The proposed rule, if implemented, would establish specific time limits for public notice and comment on any requests for authorization which would be granted under this rule; implement procedures for the establishment of scientific peer review groups to review an applicant's monitoring plan when the taking may affect the availability of a stock for subsistence uses; and limit authorizations to a period of 1 year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule implements certain changes in the prohibitions on importing or exporting marine mammals or marine mammal parts and products that occurred with the enactment of the Marine Mammal Protection Act Amendments of 1994 (Pub. L. 104-238). This action prohibits the export of marine mammals or marine mammal products for purposes other than public display, scientific research, or enhancing the survival of a species or stock and establishes three new categories of exceptions to the prohibition on importing marine mammal parts and products. This is a noncontroversial action that is not significant as it will have only minor effects on a small number of people, most of whom will benefit by the new exceptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fishing Capacity Reduction Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To establish a fishing capacity reduction program, commonly called a buyback, as required by the Sustainable Fisheries Act to address the problem of excess fishing capacity in most fisheries. This involves paying fishermen to either surrender their fishing permits or both surrender their permits and scrap their fishing vessels.  Costs of reducing capacity can be paid by post-reduction harvesters, taxpayers, or others.  The intent is to decrease excess harvesting capacity, increase the economic efficiency of harvesting and facilitate the conservation and management of fishery resources in each fishery in which NMFS conducts a reduction program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 14 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 14 would implement measures that would separate small mesh species (whiting, red hake, offshore hake, and ocean pout) from the Multispecies FMP and create a new FMP for small mesh species.  This action would provide for easier, more timely management of the species, to reduce complexity of the existing multispecies FMP and to aid in the rebuilding process for the small mesh species. Management measures for small mesh species may include measures developed under Amendment 12, a limited access permit program, and other measures to protect small mesh multispecies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implement Management Measures for the Pacific Cod Fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea, and the Aleutian Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would implement management measures for the Pacific cod fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea, and the Aleutian Islands that would mitigate the impacts of those fisheries on the western population of Steller sea lions and its designated critical habitat.  The western population of Steller sea lions are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act.  The proposed management measures may include Pacific cod fishery closures within Steller sea lion critical habitat and additional fishing seasons and total allowable catch apportionments that would disperse the fishery in time and area.  This action should be considered controversial because of the effects of management measures on current fishing practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Pelagic Longline Fishery; Gear Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS will issue a proposed rule that would require the possession and use of line clippers on board all pelagic longline vessels that have been issued Federal highly migratory species permits.  These gear requirements would allow captains, crew members, and observers to disengage sea turtles hooked or entangled by longline fishing gear.  The proposed rule would require the use of specific methods for the handling, resuscitating, and releasing of sea turtles.  The intended effect of the proposed measures is to minimize the mortality of, or injury to, sea turtles hooked or entangled by longline gear.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary; Tortugas Ecological Reserve</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will make effective the proposed rule published on May 18, 2000, that would establish a 151 square nautical mile no-take ecological reserve in the Tortugas region of the Florida Keys to protect nationally significant coral reef resources and to protect an area that serves as a source of biodiversity for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) as well as for the southwest shelf of Florida. The rule would expand the boundary of the FKNMS by 96 square nautical miles in the remote westernmost portion of the FKNMS to ensure that sensitive coral habitats lying outside the existing boundary of the Sanctuary are protected and would establish the reserve within that 96 square nautical mile area and within a 55 square nautical mile area of the existing Sanctuary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule will amend the regulations of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS or Sanctuary) governing anchoring of vessels within the boundaries.  This change will conform domestic regulations with anchoring prohibitions adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).  This rule will prohibit all anchoring in the Sanctuary, except for vessels under 100 feet (30.48 meters) using sanctuary mooring buoys.  This will prevent further injuries to corals in the sanctuary from anchoring impacts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 14 to the Pacific Coast Salmon Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 14 would provide a change in the management of salmon fisheries in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) (3 to 200 miles offshore) off Washington, Oregon, and California, which are managed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and NMFS under the Fishery Management Plan for Commercial and Recreational Salmon Fisheries off the Coasts of Washington, Oregon and California (FMP) as revised and updated in 1996 for implementation in 1997. The amendment will revise the FMP to bring it into compliance with the recently amended Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The primary changes relate to issues of optimum yield, overfishing, essential fish habitat, and bycatch specifications. Editorial and organizational changes to improve and update the FMP and its environmental impact statement, in addition to refinements harvest allocation standards among the recreational fisheries north of Cape Falcon, are also part of the amendment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Rule to prohibit fishing and anchoring of fishing vessels in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) within 15 nautical miles seaward of the baseline of Navassa Island, a U.S. territory in the Caribbean Sea. This is to protect unique and unprotected marine resources in the area, including reef fish and invertebrates, especially coral, live rock, sponges, queen conch, and spiny lobsters, from unregulated harvest. These resources are in relatively pristine condition due to the area's isolation and distance from commercial fishing grounds of major fishing nations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment To Implement an At-Sea Observer Program on Limited Entry and Open Access Catcher Vessels in the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to amend the regulations implementing the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan to provide for an at-sea observation program on all limited entry and open access catcher vessels.  This proposed rule would require vessels in the groundfish fishery to carry observers when notified by NMFS or its designated agent; establish notification requirements for vessels that may be required to carry observers; and establish responsibilities and define prohibited actions for vessels that are required to carry observers.  The at-sea observation program is intended to improve estimates of total catch and fishing mortality.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Spotter Aircraft</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of Public Law 106-553, signed on December 21, 2000, Congress prohibited the Department of Commerce from using funds now, or in the future, to issue fishing permits to vessels fishing in the Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Atlantic tunas General or Harpoon categories using spotter aircraft to assist, locate, catch or possess Atlantic bluefin tuna.  NMFS needs to revise its HMS prohibitions and regulations regarding permit issuance and conditions to implement this statutory prohibition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A request has been received from the U.S. Navy for a small take of marine mammals incidental to shock testing the USS Winston Churchill in the offshore waters of the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico during 2001. Regulations will be proposed that would, if implemented, authorize the taking under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Regulations can be implemented, and the takings authorized, if a determination is made that the taking will have no more than a negligible impact on marine mammal stocks that are being impacted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Gulf of Mexico Closed Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS issues a proposed regulation in accordance with framework procedures for adjusting management measures of the Final Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Tunas, Swordfish and Sharks. This proposed regulation would prohibit all fishing for HMS within two areas in the eastern Gulf of Mexico that the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) has identified to be important for spawning aggregations of gag, black grouper, and red grouper by eliminating bycatch mortality attributable to HMS fisheries. The intended effect of the closure is to support Council action to protect these gag/grouper spawning aggregations. This regulation would complement a similar regulation prepared by the Council that would close the two areas to all fisheries other than HMS fisheries. This action is not significant under the meaning of E.O. 12866 since it is below the economic threshold of impact, and has no novel or legal policy issues associated with it.]]></ABSTRACT>

NMFS also proposes to amend the regulations governing the Atlantic HMS fisheries to require mandatory dealer reporting of all purchases of Atlantic bigeye, albacore, yellowfin, and skipjack (BAYS) tunas.  The proposed regulatory amendment is necessary to comply with the United States' obligations under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act, and the Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Tunas, Swordfish, and Sharks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Coast Horseshoe Crab EEZ Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to close a 30-nautical mile radius to fishing for horseshoe crabs in the EEZ beginning from the mouth of the Delaware Bay (measured from the territorial sea boundary midway between Cape May, New Jersey and Cape Henlopen, Delaware) and extending seaward, and to establish permitting a reporting requirements for vessels that harvest and dealers then sell horseshoe crabs from the EEZ and to prohibit transfers at sea of horseshoe crabs in the EEZ from Maine through Florida.  The intent of these rules is to provide protection for the Atlantic coast stocks of horseshoe crabs and to ensure the effectiveness of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Horseshoe Crabs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 13 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan -- Bycatch Reduction/Reporting, Framework Changes to Annual Management Measures Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 13 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) would make the FMP consistent with Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) provisions on bycatch and standardized reporting methodologies.  Amendment 13 would also revise the Pacific Fishery Management Council process for setting annual routine management measures, so that the Council may use that process to meet Magnuson-Stevens Act overfishing and bycatch requirements. Revisions to the annual management measures process are expected to improve the Council's flexibility in managing the fisheries to protect overfished and depleted stocks while allowing fisheries access to healthy stocks. Finally, Amendment 13 would update the FMP to remove unused and expired limited entry permit endorsements. Regulatory changes resulting from this amendment may include: standards and procedures for participation in an increased utilization program for the at-sea Pacific whiting fishery; amendments to the management measures framework at 50 CFR 660.323(b) to allow increased flexibility; and minor "housekeeping" changes to remove outdated references to unused and expired limited entry permit endorsements from the 50 CFR 660 subpart G regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulating Bycatch in the Purse Seine Fishery and Establishing a Vessel Register in the Eastern Pacific Ocean</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement the conservation and management measures recommended by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) and approved by the Department of State to reduce bycatch in the tuna purse seine fisheries conducted in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO).  The rule would also establish reporting requirements so that the United States can provide the IATTC information on U.S. vessels that fish for tuna in the area of competence of the IATTC.  Among measures recommended in 2000 is a regional vessel registry, with specification of vessel information to be provided.  Currently, United States and State licensing programs do not generate all the required information, so new rulemaking is required to ensure that the United States can meet its obligations to the IATTC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modify American Lobster Regulations Under Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would provide an exemption from the lobster trap regulations to black sea bass fishers in the southernmost lobster management area.  The action would grant an option to substitute (for the gear restrictions) an incidental allowance equal to 100 lobsters per day to a maximum of five days to vessels having limited access eligibility in both the black sea bass and lobster fisheries and fishing in lobster management area 5.  The program would be implemented through a new lobster permit category and provides dual black sea bass and lobster fishers an opportunity to fish as closely to historical practices as possible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Species; Threatened Status for One Evolutionarily Significant Unit of Steelhead in California and Oregon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS' completed Endangered Species Act (ESA) status reviews for steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California resulted in proposed listings for several steelhead Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs), including a Klamath Mountains Province (KMP) steelhead ESU.  Steelhead in this ESU inhabit coastal river basins between the Elk River in Oregon and the Klamath River in California, inclusive.  After reviewing additional information, including biological data on the species' status and an assessment of protective efforts, NMFS concluded in 1998 that this ESU did not warrant listing.  However, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Court) recently overturned that decision and remanded the rule to the agency.  The District Court concluded that NMFS erred in relying on the expected effects of future conservation measures when making its final listing determination.  In light of the Court's order and of the need to formally solicit any new information regarding the status of KMP steelhead, the agency now re-proposes to list the KMP steelhead ESU as a threatened species under the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to the Restriction on Frequency of Limited Entry Permit Transfers and Other Permit Updates in the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations would change the restriction on frequency of permit transfers to allow transfers once per calendar year, rather than once every 12 months. Allowing permit transfers once per calendar year will accomplish the same effort limitation, yet give permit holders a bit more flexibility in when they make permit transfers. Regulations would also include "housekeeping" changes to: (1) apply the restriction on frequency of transfers only when a permit is transferred from one vessel to another vessel, rather than one permit holder to another permit holder, and (2) clarify in the regulations the documents needed to make a permit transfer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act (Act) 16 U.S.C. et seq., NMFS, upon a delegation of authority from the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), has determined that the State of Rhode Island is not in compliance with Amendment 3 to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's (Commission) Interstate Fishery Management Plan (IFSMP) for American lobster, because the State has failed to implement and enforce a measure that is necessary for the conservation of American lobster.  Pursuant to the Act, a Federal moratorium on fishing for American lobster within Rhode Island State waters is hereby declared and will be effective on May 1, 2001. If Rhode Island is found to be in compliance with the ISFMP for American lobster before that date, the moratorium will be withdrawn. The purpose of this action is to support and encourage implementation and enforcement of the Commission's American lobster ISFMP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would implement several recommendations adopted by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).  In November 2000, ICCAT agreed to ban the import of bigeye tuna from non-members Belize, Honduras, Cambodia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and ICCAT member Equatorial Guinea.  ICCAT also agreed to develop statistical document programs for swordfish and bigeye tuna to monitor harvests and assist in the collection of trade data.  The United States already has a certificate of eligibility for swordfish; this program will be updated and expanded to include bigeye tuna.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establish a Control Date for Permit Ownership; Sablefish Fishery; Amendment 14 to Pacific Coast Groundfish FMP</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To inform the industry that it was proposing permit  restrictions applicable to permits acquired after November 1, 2000, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) recommended that NMFS announce November 1, 2000, as a control date.  This control date is intended to provide notification of the Council's intent and to discourage: persons from accumulating permits above the limit;  individual permit owners from incorporating or becoming partnerships; and increases in absentee permit ownership, before the permit stacking regulations become effective.

Amendment 14 creates a permit stacking program for limited entry permits with sablefish endorsements.  This permit stacking program will lengthen the duration of the limited entry, fixed gear primary sablefish fishery.  It is intended to increase safety in that fishery, to provide flexibility to participants, and to reduce capacity in the limited entry fixed gear fleet.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of Control Date for Pelagic Offshore Handline Fishery Around the Hawaiian Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At its meeting on February 14, 2001 the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) voted to establish a new control date for the Hawaii offshore pelagic handline fishery around the Cross Seamount, NOAA weather buoys, and "Bigeye Buoy" located in the U.S. exclusive economic zone around Hawaii.  The control date enables the Council to inform fishermen that it is considering future action to limit the number of participants or effort and, during this period, discourage speculative entry into the fishery.  Fishermen are also advised that anyone entering the fishery after the control date may not be assured of future access, regardless of their level of participation before or after the control date, if a limited access program for the fishery is developed by the council and approved by the National Marine Fisheries Service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sea Turtle Conservation Regulation; Fisheries Activities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is establishing conditions for the closure of the large-mesh gillnet fishery for monkfish in the mid-Atlantic to prevent unauthorized takings of sea turtles listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  Specifically, NMFS intends to place fishery observers aboard 100 percent of the vessels fishing for monkfish out of North Carolina in the months of April and May 2001 and out of Virginia ports in the months of May and June 2001, to monitor for sea turtle interactions.  Documented sea turtle takes beyond the levels specified in the incidental take statement of the December 21, 1998, biological opinion for the monkfish fishery are not authorized.  If the levels specified in the incidental take statement are met, NMFS will immediately file a notification with the Office of Federal Register.  On and after the effective date of such notification for a 30-day period in all offshore Atlantic waters position of the northernmost documented sea turtle take.  The closure will include all vessels using large mesh gillnets targeting monkfish.  If necessary, the closure will be extended for additonal 30-day periods through the publication of additional notifications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Framework To Allow Incidental Halibut Retention in the West Coast Primary Sablefish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Allocation of Pacific halibut in west coast waters is governed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council's (Council) Pacific Halibut Catch Sharing Plan (Plan).  According to the Plan, when the west coast total allowable catch (TAC) is above 900,00 pounds, a portion of the TAC will be available as incidental catch in the limited entry, primary sablefish longline fishery north of Point Chehalis, Washington.  At its annual meeting in January 22-25, the International Pacific Halibut Commission set a 2001 Pacific halibut TAC for waters off Washington, Oregon, and California of 1,140,000 pounds.  This is the first year since the adoption of the Plan that the TAC has been above 900,000 pounds.  This proposed regulation would provide a framework in the halibut regulations at 50 CFR 300 to allow the Council and NMFS, in years when the west coast halibut TAC is above 900,000 pounds, to set annual halibut retention limits for vessels that catch halibut incidentally during the primary sablefish fishery.  This is a non-controversial regulation, intended to provide sablefish longline vessels with access to the halibut quota set aside for their fisheries and will not change the effect of the fishery on the halibut resource nor change the overall halibut harvest level.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deep Sea Red Crab Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule would revise the multiplier used to determine the equivalent possession limit for butchered deep sea red crab.  NMFS issued an emergency interim rule for the red crab fishery on May 8, 2001, effective through November 14, 2001.  The rule implemented among other things a possession limit of 65,000 pounds of whole red crab (or its equivalent in butchered or processed product); and an incidental catch possession limit of 100 pounds of whole red crab (or its equivalent).  The rule stated that butchered red crab are equivalent to whole red crab based on a estimated yield of 58 percent of that limit.  NMFS received information to indicate that the multiplier of 1.72 is based on a more thorough butchering method than is typically employed by those who currently at sea.  Based on information provided by industry and corroborated through a recent red crab sample analyzed by NMFS, the recovery rate for red crabs butchered consistent with the method used by industry is about 64 percent.  The revised multiplier would be applied to the current possession limit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sea Turtle Conservation Regulations; Fishery Activities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is requiring all pound net leaders measuring 8 inches or greater stretched mesh and pound net leaders with stringers to be tied up in the Virginia waters of the mainstem Chesapeake Bay and tributaries for a period of 30 days.  The leaders shall be tied up in such a manner so that the mesh and stringers are rolled up and tied off, and are not fishing in the water.  The closed area includes all Chesapeake Bay waters between the Maryland and Virginia state line (approximately 38 deg. N. latitude) and the COLREGS line at the mouth of the Bay, including the tidal waters of the James River, York River, and Rappahannock River.  NMFS is taking this action because of the large number of sea turtle strandings in the Chesapeake Bay and unauthorized takes in the pound net fishery.  If necessary, the closure may be extended for additional 30-day periods through the publication of additional notifications.
	
Section 11(f) of the ESA authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to promulgate regulations to enforce the requirements of the Act.  Section 4(d) allows the Secretary of Commerce to promulgate protective regulations for threatened sea turtles.  Regulations at 50 CFR 223.206(d)(4) specify procedures that the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries may use to impose additional restrictions to conserve listed sea turtles and prevent unauthorized takings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Imports of Illegally Harvested Patagonian or Antarctic Toothfish Seized by Foreign Law Enforcement Authorities and Placed Into International Commerce</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS issues this interpretive rule regarding legal requirements applicable to receivers, dealers, importers, and exporters of, Dissostichus eleginoides (Patagonian toothfish) and Dissostichus mawsoni (Antarctic toothfish) harvested in all waters, including those under the jurisdiction of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The Antarctic fisheries are managed under the authority of the Antarctic Marine Living Resources Convention Act of 1984 (AMLRCA) codified at 16 U.S.C. 2431 et seq.  NMFS implements CCAMLR conservation measures by regulations at 50 CFR part 300, subpart G.  Section 306 of the AMLRCA prohibits the import of illegally harvested toothfish.  NMFS interprets this prohibition to extend over products illegally harvested, seized by foreign law enforcement authorities, and then offered on the market by the country which seized the toothfish.  Import is prohibited even if such products are accompanied by a Dissostichus Catch Document issued by the country which seized the toothfish.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of the Practice of Including Copies of U.S. Patent Documents With Office Actions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) currently includes a copy of every document cited in an Office action with the Office action.  Since the Office provides the public with access to copies of all U.S. patents and U.S. application publications through the Office's Internet Web site (www.uspto.gov), the Office considers including copies of U.S. patents and U.S. application publications with Office actions to be unnecessary.  Thus, the Office is considering eliminating the practice of including copies of U.S. patents and U.S. patent application publications with Office actions.  The Office would continue to include copies of foreign patent other publications and other documents (non-patent literature).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In implementing the provisions of the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 related to the eighteen-month publication of patent applications, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) revised the rules of practice related to requirements for claiming the benefit of a prior-filed application.  The Office is revising the time period for claiming the benefit of a prior-filed application in an application filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), revising the time period for filing an English language translation of a non-English language provisional application, and making other technical corrections to the rules of practice related to eighteen-month publication.  The Office is also making permanent a temporary rule that amends the rules of practice to include the current statutory provisions that define when national stage commencement occurs in an application filed under the PCT.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Continued Prosecution Application Practice as to Utility and Plant</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 (AIPA) enacted provisions for the continued examination of a utility or plant application at the request of the applicant (request for continued examination or RCE practice).  Therefore, there no longer appears to be a need for continued prosecution application (CPA) practice as to utility and plant applications.  Thus, the Office is eliminating CPA practice as to utility and plant applications.  An applicant for a utility or plant patent may also continue to effectively obtain further examination of the application by filing a continuing application under section 1.53(b).  Since RCE practice does not apply to design applications, CPA practice will remain in place for design applications.]]></ABSTRACT>

Two basic proposals formed the basis for the negotiations: (1) the Basic Proposal for the Substantive Provisions of an Instrument on the Protection of Audiovisual Performances to be Considered by the Diplomatic Conference (document IAVP/DC/3), which was prepared by the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR), and (2) the Basic Proposal for Administrative and Final Provisions of the Instrument (document IAVP/DC/4), which was prepared by the International Bureau of WIPO. The United States Patent and Trademark Office, in cooperation with the U.S. Copyright Office and the U.S. Department of State, sought views of the public on this effort and the consequent potential changes to United States law and practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

Subject to certain exceptions for individuals either without access to the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) or without the technical capability to use TEAS, and persons described in 15 USC 1126(b), all documents for which an electronic form is available in TEAS will have to be filed through TEAS rather than through the mail or by hand delivery.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a rulemaking to implement the Patent Business Goals, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) proposed a change to the time period within which a deposit of biological material (if needed) must be made.  The Office held this proposed change in abeyance pending consideration of a study by the Comptroller General of the potential risks to the United States biotechnology industry relating to biological deposits as required by the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999.  The Office is now, after consideration of this study, adopting a change to the time period within which a deposit of biological material (if needed) must be made and the depository information added to the specification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of the rules change is to amend 37 CFR part 2 to add new rules and change existing rules to implement the Madrid Protocol Implementaion Act, which would amend the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., to provide for the registration and protection of trademarks used in commerce, in order to carry out provisions of certain international conventions, and for other purposes. The Madrid Protocol Implementation Act (S. 407; H.R. 741) is now pending in both the House and Senate. Because the legislation has not yet passed either the House or Senate and is subject to amendment, we have not yet determined the specific rules that will be amended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a result of the passage of the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act in 1999 (PTOEA), the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office was established as an agency within the Department of Commerce. In carrying out its functions, the USPTO is subject to the policy direction of the Secretary of Commerce, but otherwise allowed to exercise independent control of its procurements. The PTOEA specifically exempts the USPTO from the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (FPAS), 40 U.S.C. sec. 471 et seq. The USPTO proposes to implement acquisition regulations which reflect this specific statutory exemption from FPAS through the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Regulations (PTAR). In developing the PTAR, an analysis of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) was conducted to determine which parts, subparts, and clauses specifically implemented FPAS. Only those parts of the FAR which are implemented by FPAS are therefore affected. The PTAR are written with the goal of streamlining acquisition procedures and, allowing maximum innovation, flexibility, and discretion to acquisition personnel where possible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Improvement of Technical Management of Internet Names and Addresses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Consistent with the President's Electronic Commerce Directive of July 1, 1997, this proposed rule sets forth ways to improve technical management of the Internet Domain Name System (DNS). It describes the process by which the Federal Government will transfer management of the Internet DNS to a private, not-for-profit corporation and proposes a method for introducing competition in the administration and addition of new Internet top-level domains. It further proposes the introduction of competition into the domain name registration business and recommends guidelines under which domain name business and registration would operate. Further information available at http://www.doc.gov. 

Instead of a final rule, a statement of policy was published in the Federal Register. (See 63 FR 31741, June 10, 1998.) The statement of policy announced that the Department of Commerce would subsequently seek public input on how best to make the .us domain space more attractive to commercial users. On August 4, 1998, a request for public comments regarding the .us domain name was published in the Federal Register. (See 63 FR 41547, August 4, 1998.) Comments were due September 3, 1998. 

Another notice was published in the Federal Register on August 27, 1998, to extend the comment period to October 5, 1998.  Thereafter, on February 10, 1999, the agency announced a public meeting to explore the future administration and management of the .us domain name space, and conducted that meeting on March 9, 1999.

In an effort to develop a more concrete framework for the procurement of .us, on August 22, 2000, the agency published a request for comment on a draft statement of work and draft methods and procedures section, each of which is expected to be incorporated in a request for proposals for the management and administration of the .us domain space. (See 65 FR 50964, August 22, 2000.) The comment period closed on October 6, 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mandatory Reimbursement Rules for Relocation of Federal Spectrum</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Defense Authorization Act requires successful bidders of auctions of Federal spectrum to compensate the Federal incumbent users for the marginal costs associated with the relocation of a Federal station.  This mandatory reimbursement applies to the 20MHz of spectrum identified for reallocation under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the 1710-1755MHz band identified under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, and future allocations.  The National Defense Authorization Act requires NTIA to develop reimbursement procedures which are to include a process for resolving differences between the Federal Government and commercial licensees regarding estimates of relocation or modification costs. This NPRM sets forth those rules.  Final rules are expected in the Fall of 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Handicap, and Age in Programs and Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Commerce proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), Section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Department's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the North Korean Embargo Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 17, 1999, the President announced his decision to ease sanctions against North Korea. Under this new policy, most items subject to the EAR designated as EAR99 may be exported or reexported to North Korea without a license.  In addition, BXA is changing the licensing policy for certain items on the Commerce Control List (CCL) destined to North Korean civil end-users from a policy of denial to case-by-case review. This regulation adds certain categories of items to the CCL for which a license will be required to North Korea. This easing of sanctions does not affect U.S. anti-terrorism or nonproliferation export controls on North Korea.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) licenses items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that are classified on the Commerce Control List (CCL) and require a license. The information on a license application is deemed to be a continuing representation of the existing facts or circumstances of the transaction. If a license application is under consideration by BXA, any material or substantive change in the terms of the order, or in the facts relating to the transaction, must be promptly reported to BXA. However, if a license has been issued and information submitted on the original license application has changed or will change, and these changes are not specifically excepted by the EAR, then the licensee must apply for either a new license or a replacement license to obtain prior authorization for these changes before exporting or reexporting. This rule clarifies the instructions for applying for a replacement license.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Export Administration administers the Special Comprehensive License (SCL) program to provide an effective export control mechanism for exporters who routinely ship to multiple end-users.  This rule amends the SCL provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to conform with changes in the SCL licensing process and to provide SCL applicants and consignees with additional guidance on how to fill out the forms required to submit a license application or to request changes in their SCLs.  This rule also creates two new elements for SCL Internal Control Programs.  These new elements require the establishment of procedures for screening customers and items to ensure that SCL transactions conform with the antiboycott provisions of the EAR and with EAR provisions concerning entities involved in weapons of mass destruction activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement certain provisions of the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act (TSRA) of 2000.  The TSRA requires the President to terminate existing U.S. unilateral agricultural and medical sanctions and also provides that the export of agricultural commodities, medicines and medical devices to designated terrorist countries be made in accordance with the licensing regime described in that Act.  The Department of Commerce is implementing TSRA as it relates to exports of agricultural commodities to Cuba.  This rule establishes License Exception Agricultural Commodities (AGR) to permit exports and reexports to Cuba of agricultural commodities that are not specifically identified on the Commerce Control List (CCL) and are classified as EAR99.  The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is implementing TSRA as it relates to exports to Iran, Libya, and Sudan of agricultural commodities, medicines and medical devices that are not specifically identified on the CCL and are classified as EAR99.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exports to Afghanistan (the Taliban) and Liberia: Imposition of Foreign Policy Controls</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions 1333 of December 19, 2000 and 1343 of March 7, 2001, which mandated embargoes on the sale or supply of arms-related items, including technical assistance and training, to the Taliban and to Liberia, respectively.  These steps taken by the  Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) supplement controls implemented by the Department of State on exports of defense articles and services to the Taliban and to Liberia under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.  BXA already requires a license for the export and reexport to Afghanistan and Liberia of most of the items subject to the EAR that fall within the scope of the UNSC mandated ban on arms-related items (e.g., items controlled for regional stability and crime control reasons).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Export Administration Regulations Entity List: Removal of Indian and Pakistani Entities, and Revision in License Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 18, 1998, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) published a rule in the Federal Register (63 FR 64322) that added certain Indian and Pakistani entities to the Entity List in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).  In addition, this rule lifts the sanctions imposed against India and Pakistan on November 19, 1998 (63 FR 64322).  This rule also revises the license review policy for items classified as EAR99 (items that are subject to the EAR, but are not listed on the Commerce Control List) to a presumption of approval for all Indian and Pakistani listed entities, and revises the license review policy for items list on the Commerce Control List to case-by-case.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transfer of Dual-Use Items From U.S. Munitions List to the Commerce Control List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The former COCOM Industrial List (IL) controls so-called dual-use items, which have both civil and military uses. There is not a direct correspondence between the IL and BXA's Commerce Control List (CCL) because some IL items are controlled by the State Department in the U.S. Munitions List. In his November 15, 1990, memorandum of disapproval of H.R. 4653, the President determined that, "By June 1, 1991, the United States will remove from the U.S. Munitions List all items contained on the COCOM dual-use list unless significant U.S. national security interests would be jeopardized." This rule will implement BXA controls through the CCL on those items removed from the U.S. Munitions List as a result of the President's decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Validated licenses are required for the export or reexport of all communication interception devices to all destinations (including Canada). The Export Administration Regulations specify that such exports or reexports will only be issued to: (1) a provider of wire or electronic communication service or an officer, agent or employee of or person under contract with such a provider in the normal course of the business of providing that wire or electronic communication service; or (2) officers, agents, or employees of, or person under contract with the United States, one of the 50 States, or a political subdivision thereof, when engaged in the normal course of government activities. Commerce will need to make changes to the Commerce Control List and the Export Administration Regulations to clarify the requirements for issuing export licenses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>India and Pakistan Sanctions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 18, 1998, the Administration announced additional details of the sanctions imposed on India and Pakistan in response to their recent detonation of nuclear devices. The President had previously determined and reported to Congress, under the authority of section 102 of the Arms Export Control Act, that the Indian and Pakistani activities had violated the Act and sanctions were required. 

Under the provisions of the Arms Export Control Act, the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is revising the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to expand the license requirements and set forth licensing policy for exports and reexports of most items controlled for nuclear nonproliferation and missile technology to India and Pakistan. Under the provisions of the Export Administration Act (EAA), BXA is revising the EAR to expand the license requirements and set forth licensing policy for exports and reexports of high performance computers to India and Pakistan.

BXA is considering how export controls on such technology transfers affect U.S. exporters. Specifically, BXA is seeking to gain a better understanding of how these transfers actually take place so that the Export Administration Regulations may be clarified in a manner that meets the export control objectives of the regulations while increasing the utility of the regulations to the public. BXA is particularly interested in the comments of those who have direct experience in the area of technology and software exports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revision of 33 CFR 203 is necessary to reflect current policy, add features required by the Water Resources Development Act of 1996 (PL 104-303), and streamline certain procedures concerning Corps authority for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery activities.  Public Law 104-303 additions are the option of a nonstructural alternative to structural levee repairs for damage caused by flood events, and the provision of a levee owners' manual. Other changes include a change in the cost share provision for rehabilitation of Federal and non-Federal flood control works, expansion of investigation ability for potential Advance Measures work, and a streamlined approach for requests for assistance from Native American tribes and Alaska Native Corporations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Programs of the Corps of Engineers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Corps of Engineers intends to make numerous clarifications to its existing regulations at 33 CFR 320 to 330, to consolidate all permit regulations into one document, and to reorganize 33 CFR 325 for clarity. Since the Corps Regulatory Program final regulations were published in the Federal Register on November 13, 1986 (51 FR 41206), there has been a need to clarify several of those provisions. Since 1986, the Corps has adopted two new appendices at 33 CFR 325, appendices B and C, and the Corps has also adopted revisions to the Nationwide Permit Program (33 CFR 330), Class 1 Administrative Civil Penalties (33 CFR 326), and revisions to the definition of discharge of Dredged Material and Fill Material and prior converted croplands. For clarity, the Corps intends to consolidate all these changes into one document.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Army is proposing to amend the procedures in 33 CFR part 241 for ability to pay determinations for flood control projects. The proposed amendment will establish an eligibility for reductions in the non-Federal cost, using county per capita income and county per capita non-Federal project cost criterion. A final rule for flood control projects implementing section 103(m) of Public Law 99-662, 33 U.S.C. 2213m, was published in the Federal Register on January 26, 1995 (60 FR 5133). The rule will amend the guidelines in accordance with the discretionary language in section 202(b) of Public Law 104-303. The rule applies only to flood control projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, any individual who is a civilian employee of the United States Government cannot be authorized by CHAMPUS as a provider of medical services. We propose to provide an exception to this prohibition to permit these individuals to be authorized CHAMPUS providers if they meet three conditions. First, they must be employed by the Government agency on a part-time basis, that is, less than twenty (20) hours per week. Second, the agency must certify that unique or special circumstances detrimental to the delivery of quality health care exist that can be overcome only by employing part-time, non-Government physicians.

        <RULE_TITLE>Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS); Double Coverage</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule clarifies our double coverage policy for non-institutional claims for beneficiaries with primary health insurance. TRICARE network, non-network but participating, and non-participating providers are all reimbursed differently under current procedures. This has had the unintended effect of discouraging TRICARE network participation since non-network but participating providers receive the most favorable treatment with respect to double coverage calculations. The Department proposes to revise double coverage reimbursement calculations by reimbursing all providers up to 100 percent of the CHAMPUS Maximum Allowable Charge after the primary health insurance has paid or 115 percent for nonparticipating providers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements a bonus payment, in addition to the amount normally paid under the allowable charge methodology, to providers in medically underserved areas.  For purposes of this rule, medically underserved areas are the same as those determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the Medicare program.  Such bonus payments shall be equal to the bonus payments authorized by Medicare, except as necessary to recognize any unique or distinct characteristics or requirements of the CHAMPUS program and as described in instructions issued by the Director, OCHAMPUS.  Due to the urgency for such bonus payments in medically underserved areas to alleviate problems by lower payments, the interim final rulemaking process has been utilized.  This rule promotes a reimbursement enhancement to a limited number of providers designed to increase CHAMPUS beneficiary access to care, which also supports the use of the interim final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS); Eligibility and Payment Procedures for CHAMPUS Beneficiaries Age 65 and Over</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 712 of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001.  Section 712 extends TRICARE eligibility to persons age 65 and over who would otherwise have lost their TRICARE eligibility due to attainment of entitlement to hospital insurance benefits under Part A of Medicare.  In order for these individuals to retain their TRICARE eligibility, they must be enrolled in the supplementary medical insurance program under Part B of Medicare.  In general, in the case of medical or dental care provided to these individuals for which payment may be made under both Medicare and TRICARE, Medicare is the primary payer and TRICARE will normally pay the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by the person.  This rule prescribes TRICARE payment procedures and makes revisions to TRICARE rules to accommodate Medicare-eligible CHAMPUS beneficiaries.  The Department is publishing this rule as an interim final rule in order to meet the statutorily required effective date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 1996 transferred to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the Comptroller General's authority to settle claims. The OMB Director subsequently delegated some of these authorities to the Department of Defense (DoD). Later, the General Accounting Office Act of 1996 codified many of these delegations and transferred to the OMB Director the authority of the Comptroller General to waive uniformed service member and employee debts arising out of the erroneous payment of pay or allowances exceeding $1,500. The OMB Director subsequently delegated the authority to waive such debts of uniformed service members to DoD and the authority to waive employee debts to the employee's agency (non-DoD agencies may request an advisory opinion from DoD). The Secretary of Defense further delegated his claims settlement authority to the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA). This proposed rule seeks public comments on the procedures that DOHA proposes to use to implement these authorities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Handicap, and Age in Programs and Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Defense proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act).  Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.  In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act.  The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes.  The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department of Defense's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations.  The Department of Defense's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Defense (DoD) proposes to adopt two updated common rules, on nonprocurement debarment and suspension and on drug-free workplace requirements for grants and agreements.  In adopting these rules, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Military Departments, Defense Agencies, and DoD Field Activities will maintain uniform policies and procedures that are consistent with those of other Executive Departments and Agencies.  At the time the final rule is adopted, the Department of Defense will make conforming amendments to other parts of the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations (32 CFR parts 21, 22, 32, and 34), to update references to the debarment and suspension and the drug-free workplace requirements that currently are 32 CFR part 25.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Defense (DoD) proposes to add a new part 37 to the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs) to incorporate policies and procedures for the award and administration of Technology Investment Agreements (TIAs).  TIAs are a relatively new class of assistance instruments.  DoD Components use TIAs to support or stimulate defense research projects involving for-profit firms, especially commercial firms that do business primarily in the commercial marketplace.  The new part 37 therefore gives DoD agreements officers greater flexibility to negotiate award provisions in areas that can present barriers to those commercial firms (e.g., intellectual property, audits, and cost principles).  This rule also proposes revisions to parts 21, 22, 32, and 34 of the DoDGARs to conform the rest of the DoDGARs with the proposed part 37.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Act states that, as soon as practicable after the date of the enactment of the Act, the Secretary of Defense shall, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture and the Administrator of General Services, prescribe regulations relating to the sale of aircraft and aircraft parts under this section. This interim final rule prescribes regulations to implement the Wildlife Suppression Aircraft Transfer Act of 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is the Department of Defense portion of a multiple-agency action. The agencies are amending their rules implementing Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-110 "Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations." The amendments to the rules incorporate updated language in Circular A-110 requiring Federal awarding agencies to ensure that all data produced under awards subject to the Circular are made available to the public through the procedures established under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). OMB updated the Circular language in this way in October 1999, in response to a provision in Public Law 105-277. With this rule amendment to 32 CFR parts 22 and 32, the Department of Defense therefore will maintain policies on access to data produced under awards subject to Circular A-110 that are consistent with the policies of other Executive Departments and Agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Representatives of the military departments, defense agencies, and other DoD activities have agreed on a final rule that amends the interim rule as a result of comments received and incorporates clarification enacted in fiscal year 2001 that limits Comptroller General access in certain situations.  This rule requires inclusion of a clause as required by law, providing for Comptroller General access to records in transactions other than contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements for prototype projects that provide for total payments in excess of $5,000,000.  This rule is published in the Federal Register because it directly impacts the public by prescribing conduct that must be followed by a party to, or entity that participates in the performance of, any such transaction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revitalizing Base Closure Communities and Base Closure Community Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 20, 1995, the Department of Defense published a final rule (60 FR 37337) implementing title XXIX of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 1994 (Pub. L. 103-160) and the President's Five-Part Plan "A Program to Revitalize Base Closure Communities," July 2, 1993. This rule will amend the final rule to implement section 2821 of the FY 2000 National Defense Authorization Act. Following the July 1993 announcement of the President's program to revitalize base closure communities, Congress created a new property conveyance authority, specifically designed to ease the economic hardship caused by base closures and realignments and to foster rapid job creation in the adversely impacted local communities.  This authority is referred to as the "Economic Development Conveyance (EDC)," giving the Department of Defense the ability to transfer property to Local Redevelopment Authorities (LRAs), for consideration at or below estimated fair market value, to spur economic redevelopment and job creation.  Section 2821 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 (Pub. L. 106-65) now authorizes the Department of Defense to transfer EDC property to LRAs at no cost to stimulate economic redevelopment and long-term job creation.  The Department of Defense also is authorized now to modify existing EDC agreements when a change in economic circumstances necessitates a modification.  This rule sets forth policies for the transfer of EDC real and personal property at no cost and the modification of existing EDC agreements.  This rule does not, however, change current DoD policies for caretaker support and environmental cleanup.  Similarly, the Military Departments must not alter their policies and procedures governing caretaker support and environmental cleanup because of the change in consideration for EDC property.]]></ABSTRACT>

New parts 5419 and 5452 provide regulatory coverage, which incorporates two nonstandard clauses in domestic bulk petroleum solicitations and contracts concerning small business set asides and evaluation preferences for Small Disadvantaged Business concerns into DLAR on a permanent basis. The proposed coverage supplements the contract quality requirements of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) by adding prescriptive language and contract clauses to satisfy the specific needs of DLA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DLA Acquisition Regulation; Fuel Allocation Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Defense Logistics Agency proposes to add coverage to 48 CFR chapter 54. The proposed changes affect regulations on Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses. The proposed changes implement and supplement the Federal Acquisition Regulation 49.504(a)(1), which requires the use of FAR Default Clause 52.249-8. The changes are required in order to incorporate three nonstandard clauses in bulk, bunker, plane, posts, camps, and station petroleum solicitations and contracts concerning fuel allocations procedures. These fuel allocation clauses permit DFSC contractors to supply less than the full amount of fuel contracted by the Government, without being terminated for default, during periods of exceptional fuel shortages.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Executive Order 13132 &quot;Federalism&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule assigns responsibilities and prescribes procedures for the implementation of Executive Order 13132 "Federalism" within the Department of Defense.  This rule establishes an accountable consultation process with State and local officials in the development of policies having Federalism implications.  The Director, Administration and Management, was designated the Federalism official for the Department of Defense by Secretary of Defense memorandum.  Accordingly, the Federalism official has established an accountable process for meaningful and timely intergovernmental consultation, will monitor compliance with the Executive order, and will provide certification of compliance and reports to the Office of Management and Budget.  Costs attributed to the rulemaking and budgetary effects are negligible.  The primary qualitative benefit from this rulemaking lies in establishing a regulatory and policymaking approach that respects the role of State and local governments by ensuring the opportunity for timely and meaningful consultation.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is a notice that ED is reviewing the regulations in 34 CFR chapter II under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610). The purpose of this review is to determine if these regulations should be continued without change, or should be amended or rescinded, to minimize any significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small entities. We are requesting comment on the continued need for the regulations; the complexity of the regulations; the extent to which they overlap, duplicate, or conflict with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other relevant factors have changed since the regulations were promulgated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations are needed to implement section 1017 of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act (Pub. L. 103-227, 20 U.S.C. 1232h). That provision amends the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) to require schools, in certain instances, to make specific educational materials available to parents for inspection. The provision also amends the PPRA to prohibit schools from requiring a student to submit to certain surveys, analyses, or evaluations without prior parental consent. The regulations are being developed in accordance with the Department's Principles for Regulating.  We are expecting new legislation that would amend the PPRA.  As our next action we anticipate issuing a new NPRM based on this new legislation.]]></ABSTRACT>

These regulations clarify the relationship between debarment and suspension actions and limitation, suspension, and termination actions under title IV of the HEA.  Additionally, these regulations set the dollar threshold on prohibited lower-tier procurement transactions with excluded persons at $25,000.  These regulations also relocate the Drug-Free Workplace Act regulations in a separate part from the debarment and suspension regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Freedom of Information Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 23, 1991, DOE proposed to amend the procedures and principles to be applied in responding to requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 5 USC 552. The proposal updated names and addresses of organizational entities, and updated guidelines for the schedule of fees associated with processing requests. A proposed section on policies clarified DOE's operation of a first-in, first-out policy in responding to FOIA requests, and the role of the Office of Hearings and Appeals was clarified. The proposal also included a statement of DOE policy on contractor records. 

On December 12, 1994, DOE adopted the contractor records policy, with certain modifications. DOE expects to take final action on the remainder of the proposal in the near future. 

The new regulations will clarify the FOIA process by clearly defining the roles of the FOIA Officer and the Denying Official and comply with the new requirements of the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendment of 1996. The new regulations will be written in a more customer-friendly manner in plain English.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would add a new 10 CFR 834 to DOE's regulations establishing a body of rules setting forth the basic requirements for ensuring radiation protection of the public and environment in connection with DOE nuclear activities. These requirements stem from the Department's ongoing effort to strengthen the protection of health, safety, and the environment from the nuclear and chemical hazards posed by these DOE activities. Major elements of the proposal included a dose limitation system for protection of the public; requirements for liquid discharges; reporting and monitoring requirements; and residual radioactive material requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Policy Review of Three Issues Arising Under Bonneville Power Administration&apos;s New Large Single Load (NLSL) Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[BPA is directed by law to determine whether large retail loads of consumer facilities served by a public body, cooperative, investor-owned utility, or Federal agency customer, whose power requirements increase or are in excess of 10 aMWs in any consecutive 12-month period, fall within the definition of NLSL.  BPA may not sell electric power at the Priority Firm (PF) rate to utilities for service to NLSLs.  Electric power sold by BPA for utility service to NLSLs is sold at the New Resources (NR) rate (which historically has been a higher rate), with one exception.  Any load for which service by the utility customer was "committed to or contracted for" (CTCF) prior to September 1, 1979, is served at the lower PF rate.  The BPA Administrator determines whether a consumer facility is a CFCT load.  

The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has invited public comment on three specific issues relating to its existing NLSL policy: (1) whether BPA should allow current and future direct service industry (DSI) customer production load served at BPA's Industrial Firm (IP) rate (or any other rate) to transfer and receive service from a public body, cooperative, or Federal agency customer at the PF rate; (2) whether a load at a facility previously determined to be a CTCF load should be allowed to receive service from a different BPA preference customer and retain its CTCF status; and (3) whether BPA should close the class of future CFCT loads after providing customers one last opportunity to identify and request, if any, a CFCT load determination by BPA.  After receipt of public comments, BPA will determine whether changes to its current NLSL policy are warranted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will revise the Department of Energy's policy on making payments for special burdens and in lieu of taxes to State and local taxing jurisdictions pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. Prior to the 1987 issuance of DOE Order 2100.12, the Department and its predecessor agencies approved such payment requests on an ad hoc basis. To ensure all eligible taxing jurisdictions are provided appropriate opportunity to comment, the revised policy is being established through the rulemaking process. The Department anticipates no added costs by issuing the revised policy as a regulation rather than as an internal directive revision.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rulemaking is required by statute.  Experience has shown that the choice of residential appliances and commercial equipment being purchased by both builders and building owners is generally based on the initial cost rather than on life-cycle costs.  Thus, the law requires minimum energy efficiency standards for appliances to eliminate inefficient appliances and equipment from the market.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, establishes initial energy efficiency standard levels for most types of major residential appliances and certain commercial equipment. The EPCA generally requires DOE to undergo rulemakings, at specified times, to determine whether the standard for a covered product should be made more stringent.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute requires the Department to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is technologically feasible and economically justified.  In making this determination, the Department conducts a thorough analysis of the alternative standard levels, including the existing standard, based on criteria specified by statute.  The process improvements that were recently announced (61 FR 36974, July 15, 1996) further enhance the analysis of alternatives in the appliance standards development process.  For example, under this process, the Department will ask stakeholders and private sector technical experts to review its analyses of the likely impacts, costs and benefits of alternative standard levels. In addition, the Department will solicit and consider information on nonregulatory approaches for encouraging the purchase of energy efficient products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The specific costs and benefits for these rulemakings have not been established because the final standard levels have not been determined. Nevertheless, existing appliance standards are projected to save 23 quadrillion Btu's from 1993 to 2015, resulting in estimated consumer savings of $1.7 billion per year in 2000 and estimated annual emission reductions of 107 million tons of carbon dioxide and 280 thousand tons of nitrogen oxides in that year.  Under the existing standards, the discounted energy savings for consumers are 2.5 times greater than the up-front price premium paid for the appliance.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Without appliance standards, energy use will continue to increase with resulting damage to the environment caused by atmospheric emissions.  Enhancing appliance energy efficiency reduces atmospheric emissions such as CO2 and NOx.  Establishing standards that are too stringent could result in excessive increases in the cost of the product, possible reductions in product utility and may place an undue burden on manufacturers that could result in loss of jobs or other adverse economic impacts]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Fueled Vehicle Acquisition Requirements for Private and Local Government Fleets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (the Act) requires DOE to initiate a rulemaking to determine whether a private and local fleet program is deemed necessary to meet the fuel displacement goals of the Act. The criteria for making this determination is mandated by the Act. DOE conducted a series of informal workshops, including two for State and local government officials, to discuss regulatory options and other issues related to the alternative fueled vehicle requirements under the Act.  DOE will make its determination within the context of the National Energy Policy and taking into account comments received as a result of the workshops.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[EPCA establishes initial energy efficiency standard levels for most types of major residential appliances and certain types of commercial equipment and generally requires DOE to undergo rulemakings, at specified times, to determine whether the standard for a covered product should be made more stringent.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is technologically feasible and economically justified. In making this determination, the Department conducts a thorough analysis of alternative standard levels, including the existing standard, based on criteria specified by statute. The process improvements that were recently announced (61 FR 36974, July 15, 1996) further enhance the analysis of alternative standards. For example, DOE will ask stakeholders and private sector technical experts to review its analyses of the likely impacts, costs, and benefits of alternative standard levels. In addition, the Department will solicit and consider information on nonregulatory approaches for encouraging the purchase of energy efficient products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The specific costs and benefits for these rulemakings have not been established because the final standard levels have not been determined. Nevertheless, existing appliance standards are projected to save 23 quadrillion Btu's of energy from 1993 to 2015, resulting in estimated consumer savings of $1.7 billion per year in the year 2000 and estimated annual emission reductions of 107 million tons of carbon dioxide and 280 thousand tons of nitrogen oxides in the year 2000. Under the existing standards, the discounted energy savings for consumers are 2.5 times greater than the up-front price premium paid for the appliance.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Without appliance efficiency standards, energy use will continue to increase with resulting damage to the environment caused by atmospheric emissions. Enhancing appliance energy efficiency reduces atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Establishing standards that are too stringent could result in excessive increases in the cost of the product, possible reductions in product utility and may place an undue burden on manufacturers that could result in a loss of jobs or other adverse economic impacts.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rulemaking is required by statute. Experience has shown that the choice of residential appliances and commercial equipment being purchased by both builders and building owners is generally based on the initial cost rather than on life-cycle cost. Thus, the law requires minimum energy efficiency standards for appliances to eliminate inefficient appliances and equipment from the market.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, establishes initial energy efficiency standard levels for most types of major residential appliances and certain types of commercial equipment and generally requires DOE to undergo rulemakings, at specified times, to determine whether the standard for a covered product should be made more stringent.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is technologically feasible and economically justified. In making this determination, the Department conducts a thorough analysis of alternative standard levels, including the existing standard, based on criteria specified by statute. The process improvements that were announced (61 FR 36974, July 15, 1996) further enhance the analysis of alternative standards. For example, DOE will ask stakeholders and private sector technical experts to review its analyses of the likely impacts, costs, and benefits of alternative standard levels. In addition, the Department will solicit and consider information on nonregulatory approaches for encouraging the purchase of energy efficient products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed energy efficiency standards for central air conditioners would provide significant energy savings to the Nation.  Over a 25-year period more than 4 quadrillion Btu's of energy would be saved, equivalent to all the energy consumed by nearly 12 million Americans in a single year.  These energy savings would also significantly reduce the emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases associated with electricity production by avoiding the emission of 60 million tons of carbon and 150 thousand tons of nitrogen oxide.  Also, the standards would eliminate the need for the construction of at least 6 new 500-megawatt power plants.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Without appliance efficiency standards, energy use will continue to increase with resulting damage to the environment caused by atmospheric emissions. Enhancing appliance energy efficiency reduces atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Establishing standards that are too stringent could result in excessive increases in the cost of the product, possible reductions in product utility and may place an undue burden on manufacturers that could result in a loss of jobs or other adverse economic impacts.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title III of the Energy Conservation and Production Act as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (PL 102-486, October 24, 1992) provides that DOE establish Federal building energy standards that require in new Federal buildings those energy efficiency measures that are technologically feasible and economically justified. The standards for Federal buildings are intended to parallel closely the voluntary building energy codes of the Energy Policy Act for private sector construction. Interim energy performance standards which DOE had issued before enactment of the Energy Policy Act are to remain in effect for the Federal sector until the new Federal building energy standards become effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Voluntary Residential Energy Efficiency Rating Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE is required to establish by rule national voluntary guidelines for home energy rating systems. The guidelines are designed to encourage uniformity with regard to systems for rating the annual energy efficiency of residential buildings. The guidelines may be used to enable and encourage the assignment of energy efficiency ratings to residential buildings and the development of criteria for attractive financial instruments for energy efficient homes.

In response to the directives of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, DOE collaborated with hundreds of stakeholders and organizations, including the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Council, the National Association of State Energy Officials, and HERS providers, many of whom had been meeting regarding HERS since about 1987. Based on input from all the stakeholders, DOE issued for public comment a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on voluntary guidelines. 

Most of the comments that DOE received on the proposed rule were readily resolved. But the issue of "fuel neutrality" was not easily incorporated into the rule. "Fuel neutrality" involved an interpretation of the requirement that the rule not "discriminate among fuel types" for which the EPACT legislation provided no clarification. Yet, in spite of an intensive effort by DOE to work with both the electric and gas industries, a definition regarding fuel neutrality was not resolved and remains hotly disputed.

In the fall of 2002, DOE plans to issue a Report to Congress on the HERS and Energy Efficient Mortgages, as required by Congress. This report will note that despite the fact that DOE has not issued a final rule, home energy raters are now available in 47 States, and the guidelines used by these raters are generally consistent in content to DOE's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on voluntary HERS guidelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[10 CFR part 1046, subparts A and B, establishes DOE contractor requirements in the areas of protective force medical, physical fitness, and firearms qualifications and training. The proposed revisions are to ensure protective force personnel receive quality medical services that are consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. They also will enhance communications between Designated Physicians and personnel responsible for supervising physical fitness training and certification to assure better understanding of the risk of injury to Security Police Officers and Security Officers participating in physical fitness activities.  Additionally, Security Police Officer I and Security Police Officer II were better defined to eliminate confusing physical fitness requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would establish a Human Reliability Program that would consolidate the Department's Personnel Security Assurance Program (PSAP) and its Personnel Assurance Program (PAP). PSAP is an access authorization program for individuals who apply for or occupy certain positions that are critical to the national security.  The PSAP requires an initial and annual supervisory review, medical assessment, management evaluation, and a DOE personnel security review of all applicants or incumbents.  The PAP is a nuclear explosives safety program using many of the evaluations of the PSAP to ensure that employees assigned to nuclear explosive duties do not have emotional, mental, or physical conditions that could result in an accidental or unauthorized detonation of nuclear explosives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[10 CFR part 710, which stipulates DOE access authorization "due process" procedures, will be revised to comply with section 5.2(a) of EO 12968. This section requires three decision levels in the process of determining whether an individual's access to classified matter will be denied or revoked, with the final decision being made by a three-member high level appeals panel. While the DOE decision structure will be revised, the DOE will continue to offer the individual the right to a hearing before a hearing officer in such cases. These revisions are not expected to significantly impact the costs, time intervals, or risks associated with DOE's administrative review process. There are no alternatives to the Department for assuring full compliance with the new requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners: Medical Malpractice Payments Reporting Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This NPRM proposes to require that, in addition to reporting to the National Practitioner Data Bank medical malpractice payments made where physicians or other health care practitioners are named in medical malpractice actions or claims, judgments or settlements, payments be reported where they are made for the benefit of physicians or other health care practitioners not named in the judgments or settlements but who furnished or failed to furnish the health care services upon which the actions or claims were based. The purpose of this NPRM is to prevent the evasion of the medical malpractice payment reporting requirement of the Data Bank through the agreement of the parties to a lawsuit to use the corporate health care entity to "shield" practitioners. It would also require malpractice payers, in very limited circumstances, when it is impossible to identify the practitioner who furnished or failed to furnish the health care services upon which the actions or claims were based, to report why the practitioner could not be identified and to provide the name of the corporate health care entity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 100-93 amended section 1921 of the Social Security Act to require that each State have in effect a system of reporting disciplinary licensure actions taken against all licensed health care practitioners and entities. It also requires States to report any negative action or finding which a peer review organization, private accreditation entity or a State has concluded against a health care practitioner or entity. Section 1921 directs the Secretary to provide for maximum appropriate coordination in the implementation of these reporting requirements with those of the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (title IV of Pub. L. 99-660). Section 1921 requirements will be incorporated into the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Compliance Alternatives for Provision of Uncompensated Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rules apply to facilities obligated under the Hospital Survey and Construction Act, commonly known as the Hill-Burton Act. The rules will revise a compliance alternative that provides more flexible compliance standards for facilities that principally serve nonpaying patient populations by reducing the amount of time needed to qualify for certification under the alternative and by providing for provisional certification, where a facility is unable to qualify for full certification. The rules will also provide a compliance alternative for facilities with histories of uncompensated services deficits, to enable them to make up the deficits on a timely basis. These revisions will have the effect of making it easier for facilities with an uncompensated services obligation to meet that obligation, while still ensuring the availability of uncompensated services to persons unable to pay.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Final Rule for the Health Professions, Nursing, Public Health, and Allied Health Training Grant Programs Under 42 CFR Parts 57 and 58</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule rescinds and removes various Public Health Service health professions, nursing, public health, and allied health training grant regulations from the CFR at 42 CFR parts 57 and 58. The existing training grant regulations are fundamentally and extensively inconsistent with the new law, Health Professions Education Partnerships Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-392), enacted November 13, 1998. There are structural problems in implementing the new statute under the current program regulations. The general focus of this legislation is to reauthorize and consolidate 44 different Federal health professions training programs currently authorized under titles VII and VIII, PHS Act. These 44 programs are consolidated into seven general categories of authorities and offer more flexibility for program implementation. These categories are designed to train health practitioners most inclined to enter practice in rural and other medically underserved areas. Because the statute always take precedence over regulations, and the existing regulations are inconsistent with the new law that takes an interdisciplinary approach (and thus inhibits the achievement of the statute's clustered objectives), we are removing 19 grant regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations. Program specific guidance and information for preparing applications are now provided in the grant application materials (which makes them now self-contained).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations on submission of bioequivalence (BE) data to require an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) applicant to submit data from all BE studies the applicant conducts on a drug product formulation submitted for approval.  In the past, ANDA applicants have submitted BE studies demonstrating that a generic product meets BE criteria for FDA to approve the ANDA but have not typically submitted additional BE studies conducted on the same drug product formulation.  FDA is proposing to require ANDA applicants to submit information, in either a complete or summary report, from all additional passing and nonpassing BE studies conducted on the same drug product formulation submitted for approval.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products. 

SMALL ENTITIES AFFECTED: The effects, if any, vary depending on the individual rulemaking. However, the Agency anticipates that the rules would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Investigational New Drugs: Export Requirements for Unapproved New Drug Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the regulations on the exportation of unapproved new drug products, including biological products, for investigational use. In general, the proposed rule would provide four different routes for exporting an unapproved new drug product for investigational use. One route would permit exportation, if the drug is the subject of an investigational new drug application (IND) and is being exported for use in the investigation. A second route would permit exportation, without prior Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and without an IND, if the product is to be exported for use in a clinical investigation and has received marketing authorization in certain developed countries. The third route would permit exportation, without prior FDA approval and without an IND, if the product is to be exported for use in a clinical investigation in certain specified developed countries. The fourth route would permit exportation without an IND, to any country provided that the exporter sends a written certification to FDA at the time the drug is first exported. Drugs exported under any of the first three routes would, however, be subject to certain statutory requirements, such as not conflicting with the foreign country's laws and not being sold or offered for sale in the United States. Drugs exported under either the second or third routes would be subject to additional statutory requirements, such as being in substantial conformity with the current good manufacturing practices and certain labeling requirements. These provisions would implement changes in FDA's export authority resulting from the FDA Export Reform and Enhancement Act of 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation is one component of the Secretary's initiative to reduce medical errors. The proposed rule would amend the expedited and periodic safety reporting regulations for human drugs and biological products to revise certain definitions and reporting formats as recommended by the International Conference on Harmonisation and to define new terms; to possibly add to or revise current reporting requirements; to consider revising certain reporting time frames; and to suggest other revisions to these regulations to enhance the quality of safety reports received by FDA.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA currently has safety reporting requirements in section 21 CFR 312.32 for sponsors of investigational drugs for human use. FDA also has safety reporting requirements in sections 21 CFR 310.305, 314.80, 314.98 and 600.80 for applicants, manufacturers, packers and distributors of approved human drug and biological products. FDA has undertaken a major effort to clarify and revise these regulations to improve the management of risks associated with the use of these products. For this purpose, the agency is proposing to implement certain definitions and reporting formats and standards recommended by the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) to provide more effective and efficient safety reporting to regulatory authorities worldwide. Currently, the United States, European Union, and Japan require submission of safety information for marketed drug and biological products using different reporting formats and different reporting intervals.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The agency has broad authority under sections 505 and 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) (21 U.S.C. 355 and 371) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262) to monitor the safety of drug and biological products for human use.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The alternatives to the proposal include not amending our existing safety reporting requirements. This alternative would be inconsistent with FDA's efforts to harmonize its safety reporting requirements with international initiatives and with its mission to protect public health.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Manufacturers of human drug and biological products currently have limited incentives to invest capital and resources in standardized global safety reporting systems because individual firms acting alone cannot attain the economic gains of harmonization. This proposed rule would harmonize FDA's safety reporting requirements with certain international initiatives, thereby providing the incentive for manufacturers to modify their safety reporting systems. Initial investments made by manufacturers to comply with the rule are likely to ultimately result in substantial savings to them over time. 

The impact on industry includes costs associated with revised safety reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The benefits of the proposed rule are public health benefits and savings to the affected industries. The expected public health benefits would result from the improved timeliness and quality of the safety reports and analyses; making it possible for health care practitioners and consumers to expedite corrective actions and to make more informed decisions about treatments. Savings to the affected industry would accrue from more efficient allocation of resources resulting from international harmonization of the safety reporting requirements.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In multiple rulemakings, the Food and Drug Administration is amending the biologics regulations by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood, blood components, Source Plasma and blood derivative products to be more consistent with current practices and to remove unnecessary or outdated requirements. This action is based on a comprehensive review of the regulations that has been performed by FDA. It is also based on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations; the General Accounting Office; the Institute of Medicine, as well as public comments. Some of the subjects intended to be addressed in the rulemakings include: 1) labeling; 2) notification of consignees and end users of product safety information for plasma derivative products; 3) notification of deferred donors; 4) requirements for donor suitability and testing; and 5) infectious agent clearance. These actions are intended to help ensure the continued safety of the Nation's blood supply.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Positron Emission Tomography Drugs; Current Good Manufacturing Practice</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging modality involving the use of a unique type of radiopharmaceutical drug.  PET drugs are usually injected intravenously into patients for diagnostic purposes. Most PET drugs are produced using cyclotrons at locations that are in close proximity to the patients to whom the drugs are administered (e.g., in hospitals or academic institutions). Each PET drug is compounded under a physician's prescription and, due to the short half-lives of PET drugs, is administered to the patient within a few minutes or hours.

Under section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) (21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B)), a drug is adulterated if the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, its manufacture, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to or are not operated or administered in conformity with current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) to assure that the drug meets the requirements of the Act as to safety and has the identity and strength, and meets the quality and purity characteristics, that it purports or is represented to possess. FDA's CGMP requirements for drug products are set forth in 21 CFR parts 210 and 211. 

On November 21, 1997, the President signed into law the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (Modernization Act) (Pub. L. 105-115). Section 121 of the Modernization Act contains several provisions affecting the regulation of PET drugs. Section 121(c)(1)(A) of the Modernization Act directs FDA to establish, within two years after enactment, appropriate approval procedures and CGMP requirements for PET drugs. Section 121(c)(1)(B) directs FDA to consult with patient advocacy groups, professional associations, manufacturers, and other interested persons as the agency develops PET drug CGMP requirements and approval procedures.  FDA's proposed rule on PET drug CGMP will be designed to reflect the unique nature of PET drug products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicated Feeds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal is in response to a citizen petition request to merge the separate requirements of the current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations, 21 CFR part 225 applicable to licensed and unlicensed feed manufacturing facilities, respectively. The merger would produce a single set of updated, streamlined CGMPs that apply to all medicated feed manufacturers. This consolidation of existing CGMPs would preserve and strengthen food safety, be more appropriate given the changing structure of the medicated feed industry, and enhance uniformity and enforcement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Current Good Manufacturing Practice in Manufacturing, Packing, or Holding Dietary Ingredients and Dietary Supplements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) of February 6, 1997 (62 FR 5700), its plans to consider developing regulations establishing current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) for dietary supplements and dietary ingredients. The ANPRM was published in order for FDA to solicit comments on whether it should initiate action to establish CGMP regulations and if so, what constitutes CGMP for these products. FDA announced that this effort was in response to the section of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that provides authority to the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promulgate CGMP regulations and to a submission from the dietary supplement industry asking that FDA consider an industry-proposed CGMP framework as a basis for CGMP regulations. The ANPRM also responds to concerns that such regulations are necessary to ensure that consumers are provided with dietary supplement products which have not been adulterated as a result of manufacturing, packing, or holding; which have the identity and provide the quantity of dietary ingredients declared in labeling; and which meet the quality specifications that the supplements are represented to meet.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA intends to publish a proposed rule to establish current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) for dietary supplements and dietary ingredients for several reasons. First, FDA is concerned that some firms may not be taking appropriate steps during the manufacture of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients to ensure that products are not adulterated as a result of manufacturing, packing, or holding. There have been cases of misidentified ingredients harming consumers using dietary supplements. FDA is also aware of products that contain potentially harmful contaminants because of apparently inadequate manufacturing controls and quality control procedures. The agency believes that a system of CGMP is the most effective and efficient way to ensure that these products will not be adulterated during manufacturing, packing, or holding.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[If CGMP regulations were adopted by FDA, failure to manufacture, pack, or hold dietary supplements or dietary ingredients under CGMP regulations would render the dietary supplement or dietary ingredients adulterated under section 402(g) of the Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The two principal alternatives to comprehensive CGMP are end-product testing and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). In the ANPRM, FDA asked for public comment on approaches to ensure that dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are not adulterated during the manufacturing process. The agency asked whether HACCP may be a more effective approach than a comprehensive CGMP, and whether different approaches may be better able to address the needs of the broad spectrum of firms that conduct one or more distinct operations, such as the manufacture of finished products, or solely the distribution and sale of finished products at the wholesale or retail level. FDA will consider the information it received in response to the ANPRM and from other sources, such as public meetings and small business outreach meetings, in its consideration of whether CGMP or other approaches are most appropriate.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[A comprehensive CGMP (or other system of ensuring that dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are not adulterated during manufacturing, packing, or holding) would permit more effective and efficient oversight by Federal, State, and local governments. It would place primary responsibility for ensuring that these products are not adulterated during manufacturing, packing, or holding on the manufacturer, packer or holder by requiring that they implement a system to control their processes. FDA anticipates that costs to industry generated by implementing a comprehensive manufacturing process, whether CGMP or other plan, would be offset in four ways: (1) by reducing the amount of supplement-associated illnesses or adverse events; (2) by increasing public confidence in dietary supplements marketed in the United States; (3) by enabling U.S. supplements companies to compete more effectively in the world market; and (4) by decreasing the number of future product recalls.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Any potential for consumers to be provided adulterated (e.g., contaminated with industrial chemicals, pesticides, microbial pathogens, or dangerous misidentified ingredients or toxic components of ingredients) products must be considered a very serious risk because of the possibility that such contamination could be widespread, affecting whole segments of the population, causing some severe long-term effects and even loss of life. Dietary supplements are used by a large segment of the American public. Moreover they are often used by segments of the population that are particularly vulnerable to adulterated products, such as the elderly, young children, pregnant and nursing women, and persons who may have serious illnesses or are taking medications that may adversely interact with dietary supplements. FDA has adopted or proposed manufacturing controls for a number of foods and commodities that present potential health hazards to consumers if not processed properly, including seafood, juice products, and fruits and vegetables and it is appropriate that FDA consider whether manufacturing controls are necessary to assure consumers that dietary supplements are not adulterated during the manufacturing, packing, or holding process.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Status Reports of Distribution and Use Information for Antimicrobial Animal Drug Products Used in Food-Producing Animals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[After approving a new animal drug application, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires the sponsor to submit adverse experience and use information on the product. The currently submitted distribution data are insufficient to provide the use information needed by FDA. Because of concern about the effect of the use of antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals on the development rate and extent of resistance in human pathogens, FDA published a document describing a proposed framework for evaluating and protecting human health. The Framework Document describes the need for more detailed drug distribution information to permit the evaluation of a correlation between changes in resistance and the use of antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals. The regulatory proposal would require the reporting of the total number of distributed units of each size, strength, or potency (distribution data or quantity marketed data) and provide FDA with the more detailed information needed to assess the correlation between resistance in human pathogens and the use of antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Labeling Dietary Supplements for Women Who Are or May Become Pregnant</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to require manufacturers to label their dietary supplements with a caution statement for women who are or may become pregnant unless there is evidence demonstrating that use in pregnancy is safe. FDA is including in this proposal a list of products that would not require this caution statement, as well as a petition process by which a product may be exempted from bearing the caution statement. FDA is also proposing to require manufacturers of dietary supplements that bear a claim about an effect on a condition associated with pregnancy to maintain and permit FDA inspection of certain records.  FDA is proposing this rule because of the special safety concerns associated with use of any product during pregnancy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation of Carcinogenic Compounds Used in Food-Producing Animals; Definition of &quot;No Residue&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations relating to the operational definition of the term "no residue." The definition is used in determining whether any residue of carcinogenic compounds used in food-producing animals would "be found in food produced from those animals under conditions of use reasonably certain to be followed in practice" (21 CFR 500.80(a)). Under the current operational definition of no residue, it is possible for a residue detected by a method approved by FDA to be considered "no residue." FDA is revising its regulations to make them consistent with a 1995 Department of Justice opinion regarding this definition. The proposed changes would revise the definition of "no residue" to mean that no residue is detected with an approved regulatory method. FDA would propose several conditions that sponsors of carcinogenic compounds must satisfy with respect to the sponsors' proposed regulatory methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs During Production and Retail</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The President's Council on Food Safety was established in August 1998 to improve the safety of the food supply through science-based regulations and well-coordinated inspection, enforcement, research, and education programs. The Council has identified egg safety as one component of the public health issue of food safety that warrants immediate Federal, interagency action.
  
In July 1999, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) committed to developing an action plan to address the presence of salmonella enteritidis (SE) in shell eggs and egg products using a farm-to-table approach. FDA and FSIS held a public meeting on August 26, 1999, to obtain stakeholder input on the draft goals, as well as to further develop the objectives and action items for the action plan. The Egg Safety Action Plan was announced on December 11, 1999.  The goal of the Action Plan is to reduce egg-related SE illnesses by 50 percent by 2005 and eliminate egg-related SE illnesses by 2010.

The Egg Safety Action Plan consists of eight objectives covering all stages of the farm-to-table continuum as well as support functions. On March 30, 2000 (Columbus, OH), April 6, 2000 (Sacramento, CA), and July 31, 2000 (Washington, DC), joint public meetings were held by FDA and FSIS to solicit and discuss information related to the implementation of the objectives in the Egg Safety Action Plan.  

In accordance with discussions at the public meetings, FDA intends to publish a proposed rule to require that shell eggs be produced under an SE risk reduction plan that is designed to prevent transovarian SE from contaminating eggs at the farm during production.    

Because egg safety is a farm-to-table effort, FDA intends to include in its proposal certain provisions of the 1999 Food Code that are relevant to how eggs are handled, prepared, and served at certain retail establishments. In addition, the agency plans to propose specific requirements for certain retail establishments that serve populations most at-risk of egg-related illness (i.e., the elderly, children, and the immunocompromised).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA is proposing regulations as part of the farm-to-table safety system for eggs outlined by the President's Council on Food Safety in its Egg Safety Action Plan to require that shell egg producers implement SE risk reduction plans at the farm and that retail establishments institute certain egg-relevant provisions of the 1999 Food Code. FDA intends to propose these regulations because of the continued reports of outbreaks of foodborne illness and death caused by SE that are associated with the consumption of shell eggs. The agency believes these regulations can have significant effect in reducing the risk of illness from SE-contaminated eggs and will contribute significantly to the interim public health goal of the Egg Safety Action Plan of a 50 percent reduction in egg-related SE illness by 2005.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA's legal basis for the proposed rule derives in part from sections 402(a)(4), and 701(a) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Act)((21 U.S.C. 342(a)(4) and 371(a)). Under section 402(a)(4) of the Act, a food is adulterated if it is prepared, packed, or held in insanitary conditions whereby it may have been contaminated with filth or may have been rendered injurious to health. Under section 701(a) of the Act, FDA is authorized to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the Act. FDA also intends to rely on section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264), which gives FDA authority to promulgate regulations to control the spread of communicable disease.

Scientific reports in published literature and data gathered from existing voluntary egg quality assurance programs indicates that measures designed to prevent SE from entering a poultry house (e.g., rodent/pest control, use of chicks from SE-monitored breeders, and biosecurity programs) can be very effective in reducing SE-contamination of eggs and related foodborne illness.

Moreover, the use of shell eggs or egg products that have been treated to destroy SE or thorough cooking of untreated eggs in retail establishments will significantly contribute to the reduction of egg-related SE illnesses.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[There are several alternatives that the agency intends to consider in the proposed rule. The principal alternatives include: (1) no new regulatory action; (2) alternative testing requirements; (3) alternative on-farm mitigation measures; (4) alternative retail requirements; and (5) HACCP. FDA will consider the information that it receives in response to the public meetings in its consideration of the various alternatives.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The benefits from a regulation designed to reduce the risk of SE contamination on the farm and at retail derive from better farming practices and safer handling and cooking of eggs at the retail level. While numerical estimates of benefits currently are not yet available, FDA believes that the benefits of the proposed rule will be significant. FDA plans to estimate benefits using data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Risk Assessment for SE in Eggs, the Layers '99 study of on-farm SE controls, and from other available information on the effectiveness of SE controls.

The costs of the proposed rule are undetermined at this time.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Any potential for contamination of eggs with SE and its subsequent survival or growth must be considered a very serious risk because of the possibility that such contamination, survival and growth could cause widespread foodborne illness, including some severe long-term effects and even loss of life. FDA made a decision to publish a proposed rule to require that shell egg producers have on-farm SE risk reduction plans and that retail establishments institute certain egg-relevant provisions of the 1999 Food Code based on a considerable body of evidence, literature and expertise in this area. In addition, this decision was also based on the USDA risk assessment on SE in shell eggs and egg products and the identified public health benefits associated with controlling SE in eggs at the farm and retail levels.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Materials Derived from Ruminant Animals in FDA Regulated Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service maintains, by regulation in 9 CFR 94.18(a), a list of countries: (1) where bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) exists; and (2) that present an undue risk of introducing BSE into the United States. This proposed rule would restrict, in FDA regulated products, the use of most materials derived from ruminant animals born, raised, or slaughtered in a country listed in 9 CFR 94.18(a). In addition, there would be a waiver provision that could be used under appropriate criteria.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The agency is proposing this action because it is concerned that during a potential chemical or biological terrorism event, delaying the use of investigational products may threaten the lives of subjects. In many instances, there may also be others who have been exposed to or be at risk of exposure to a dangerous chemical or biological agent.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA believes the statutory authority provided in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) would permit a limited exception to obtaining informed consent for chemical or biological terrorism events. The Act specifically states when an exception from informed consent is permissible. The statutory provision governing informed consent for investigational devices 520(g)(3)(D) of the Act, provides that informed consent is required unless the clinical investigator determines in writing that: (1) there exists a life-threatening situation involving the human subject of such testing which necessitates the use of such device; (2) it is not feasible to obtain informed consent from the subject; and (3) there is not sufficient time to obtain such consent from his representative. Further, a licensed physician uninvolved in the testing must agree with this three-part determination in advance of using the product unless immediate use of the device is required to save the life of the human subject of such testing and there is not sufficient time to obtain such concurrence. The statute states that the exceptions to requiring informed consent are subject to such conditions as the Secretary may prescribe. This proposed rule is not required by statute or court order.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The only other option open to the agency is to do nothing. FDA believes that this option is not acceptable because it could result in improper treatment or no treatment for persons with serious illnesses because the health professionals could not use these investigational products in absence of informed consent.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The minimal burdens imposed by this rule are offset by the fact that, in the absence of this rule, the sponsor would be required to obtain informed consent, which is just as burdensome, if not more so. The rule would permit use of investigational products without which patients' lives might be threatened. Because of uncertainty about the nature or extent of any chemical or biological terrorism event, FDA cannot estimate the extent of the benefits of this rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The primary risk addressed by this rule is the risk that patients may go untreated or may be improperly treated because health professionals could not use an investigational product in the absence of informed consent.  FDA cannot determine the extent of this risk without knowing the nature or extent of any chemical or biological terrorism event.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report titled, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, cited studies and articles estimating that between 44,000 and 98,000 Americans may die each year due to medical mistakes made by health care professionals, with most deaths attributable to medication errors. The report also indicated that, between 1983 and 1993, the medication error rate leading to a patient's death may have increased by over 2.5 times. While later medical articles have questioned the IOM's estimates, other studies have indicated that, regardless of the medication error rate, many medication errors are or were preventable.  

Medication errors are a significant economic cost to the United States. An article published in 1995 estimated the direct cost of preventable drug-related mortality and morbidity to be $76.6 billion, with drug-related hospital admissions accounting for much of the cost. The authors suggested that indirect costs, such as those relating to lost productivity, might be two to three times greater than the direct costs, making the total cost of all preventable, drug-related mortality and morbidity range from $138 to $182 billion. Another article, published in 2001, used updated cost estimates derived from current medical and pharmaceutical literature to revise the $76.6 billion estimate to exceed $177.4 billion; hospital admissions accounted for $121.5 billion in costs, and long-term care admissions accounted for another $32.8 billion.

Various organizations and health professional associations have advocated the use of bar codes as a method for reducing medication errors. For example, if a health professional could use a bar code scanner to compare the bar code on a human drug product to a specific patient's drug regimen, the health professional would be able to verify that the patient is receiving the right drug, at the right dose, and at the right time. Most organizations and associations have recommended that the bar code contain the drug's National Drug Code number (a unique numerical code identifying the manufacturer, product, and package size or type), lot number, and expiration date.

Thus, FDA is proposing to require human drug products and biological products to be bar coded. The bar code would contain certain information about the product, such as its National Drug Code number. The agency is considering whether to require other information, such as the drug's expiration date and lot number, to make it easier to identify expired drugs and recalled drugs that may not be safe and effective for use. The bar code, when used in conjunction with bar code scanners and computer equipment, will enable health professionals to decrease the medication error rate.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 502 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) considers a drug to be misbranded unless it bears a label containing (in part) the name of the manufacturer and the drug's name (see sections 502(b) and 502(e)(1)(A) of the Act).  

Section 501(a)(1) of the Act considers a drug to be adulterated if, among other things, the methods used in, or the facilities and controls used for, its manufacture, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to or are not operated or administered in conformity with current good manufacturing practice to assure that the drug meets the requirements of the Act as to safety and "has the identity and strength, and meets the quality and purity characteristics, which it purports or is represented to possess...."

Section 701(a) of the Act, in turn, authorizes FDA to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the Act.

A bar code requirement for human drug products and biological products would be consistent with, and aid in the efficient enforcement of, sections 501 and 502 of the Act. For example, if the bar code merely contained the drug's National Drug Code number, the bar code would identify the manufacturer and the drug, and this would be consistent with sections 502(b) and 502(e)(1)(A) of the Act. If the bar code contained other information, such as lot number and expiration date (pieces of information required under FDA's good manufacturing practice regulations (see 21 CFR 211.130 and 211.137), this would be consistent with section 501(a)(1) of the Act.  

Therefore, using its general rulemaking authority at section 701(a) of the Act, the agency finds that it has sufficient authority to propose requiring human drug products to have a bar code.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA considered a voluntary bar coding program, but this would be akin to a "no action" alternative as many products are not bar coded or not coded in a manner that would help health professionals. A voluntary bar coding system might also lead to the adoption of incompatible bar coding formats on human drug products and biological products, thereby deterring hospitals and health care professionals from buying bar code scanners and computer equipment.

FDA also considered decreasing the amount of information it would require on the bar code. This would decrease bar coding costs to drug manufacturers and labelers, but also decrease the usefulness of the bar code and its ability to reduce medication errors.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA is continuing to examine the potential costs and benefits associated with bar coding. The anticipated costs may vary greatly depending on the amount of information required in a bar code and the products to be bar coded. FDA's preliminary estimate is that the rule would cost between $500 million and $1.4 billion over a 10-year period; the wide range in the cost estimate reflects the agency's uncertainty as to the costs associated with various pieces of information that might go into a bar code, whether all or some human drug products and biological products are bar coded, and possible changes in labeling operations.  

The rule's principal benefit would be a reduction in the number of medication errors, including reduced mortality and morbidity. As stated earlier, medication error costs have been estimated in the billions of dollars, and the agency is trying to determine the extent to which medication errors would be reduced.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There is a possible risk that some manufacturers and repackagers, if required to bar code individual unit dose packages, would eliminate such types of packaging and only supply their products in bulk containers. Individual unit dose packages are convenient for hospitals, health professionals, and patients, but are expensive to produce, and bar coding may increase production costs. Consequently, a manufacturer or repackager who wanted to reduce its expenses might decide to reduce the number of packages, particularly individual unit dose packages, that would be subject to a bar coding requirement.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products. 

SMALL ENTITIES AFFECTED: The effects, if any, vary depending on the individual rulemaking. However, the Agency anticipates that the rules would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products."

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In multiple rulemakings, the Food and Drug Administration is amending the biologics regulations by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood, blood components, Source Plasma and blood derivative products to be more consistent with current practices and to remove unnecessary or outdated requirements. This action is based on a comprehensive review of the regulations that has been performed by FDA. It is also based on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations; the General Accounting Office; the Institute of Medicine, as well as public comments. Some of the subjects intended to be addressed in the rulemakings include: 1) labeling; 2) notification of consignees and end users of product safety information for plasma derivative products; 3) notification of deferred donors; 4) requirements for donor suitability and testing; and 5) infectious agent clearance. These actions are intended to help ensure the continued safety of the Nation's blood supply.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In multiple rulemakings, the Food and Drug Administration is amending the biologics regulations by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood, blood components, Source Plasma and blood derivative products to be more consistent with current practices and to remove unnecessary or outdated requirements. This action is based on a comprehensive review of the regulations that has been performed by FDA. It is also based on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations; the General Accounting Office; the Institute of Medicine, as well as public comments. Some of the subjects intended to be addressed in the rulemakings include: 1) labeling; 2) notification of consignees and end users of product safety information for plasma derivative products; 3) notification of deferred donors; 4) requirements for donor suitability and testing; and 5) infectious agent clearance. These actions are intended to help ensure the continued safety of the Nation's blood supply.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Animal Drug Approval Process; Implementation of Title I of the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act (GADPTRA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 17, 1991, the Agency published a proposed revision of the existing regulations that is consistent with the current procedural regulations for human drugs, where appropriate. The New Animal Drug Application (NADA) revisions articulate general requirements in regulations containing performance standards and would complement these regulations through detailed guidance on, among other matters, appropriate ways of meeting requirements for submission of chemistry, pharmacology, and statistical data that would better address the intricate scientific issues involved. A separate proposed rule for reporting requirements for marketed animal drugs also was published on that date. The agency intends to repropose the NADA proposed rule to incorporate some recent changes in procedure. The NADA revisions are expected to include regulations to implement the provisions of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996, specifically the definition of flexible labeling, and implement parts of the President's National Performance Report "Reinventing the Regulation of Animal Drugs," May 1996. In the reinventing regulations report, FDA proposed to revise its regulations to reflect numerous new process changes and programs that will maintain the safety and effectiveness of new animal drugs and enable a more streamlined animal drug application review and approval process which will result in less regulatory burden upon industry and FDA. The Agency also proposes to amend its regulations to implement title I of the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act, which established new standards for marketing approval of generic copies of animal drugs approved after 1962.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Determination That Informed Consent Is Infeasible or Is Contrary to the Best Interest of Recipients</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration is planning to publish a final rule that would finalize its 1999 interim final rule (64 FR 54180) that established strengthened criteria and standards for the President to apply in making a determination that informed consent is not feasible or is contrary to the best interest of military personnel engaged in specific military operations. Under the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999, the President is authorized to waive the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act's informed consent requirements in military operations, if the President finds that obtaining consent is infeasible or contrary to the best interests of recipients and on an additional ground that obtaining consent is contrary to national security interests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Labeling for Human Prescription Drugs; Revised Format</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation is one component of the Secretary's initiative to reduce medical errors. The regulation would amend the regulations governing the format and content of professional labeling for human prescription drug and biologic products, 21 CFR 201.56 and 201.57. The regulation would require that professional labeling include a section containing highlights of prescribing information, and a section containing an index to prescribing information; reorder currently required information and make minor changes to its content, and establish minimum graphical requirements for professional labeling. The regulation would also eliminate certain unnecessary statements that are currently required to appear on prescription drug labels and move certain information to professional labeling.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The current format and content requirements in sections 201.56 and 201.57 were established to help ensure that labeling includes adequate information to enable health care practitioners to prescribe drugs safely and effectively. However, various developments in recent years, such as technological advances in drug product development, have contributed to an increase in the amount, detail, and complexity of labeling information. This has made it harder for practitioners to find specific information and to discern the most critical information in product labeling. 

FDA took numerous steps to evaluate the usefulness of prescription drug labeling for its principal audience and to determine whether, and how, its format and content can be improved. The agency conducted focus groups and a national survey of office-based physicians to ascertain how prescription drug labeling is used by health care practitioners, what labeling information is most important to practitioners, and how professional labeling should be revised to improve its usefulness to prescribing practitioners. 

Based on the concerns cited by practitioners in the focus groups and physician survey, FDA developed and tested two prototypes of revised labeling formats designed to facilitate access to important labeling information. Based on this testing, FDA developed a third revised prototype that it made available to the public for comment. Ten written comments were received on the prototype. FDA also presented the revised prototype at an informal public meeting held on October 30, 1995. At the public meeting, the agency also presented the background research and provided a forum for oral feedback from invited panelists and members of the audience. The panelists generally supported the prototype. 

The proposed rule discribed format and content requirements for prescription drug labeling that incorporate information and ideas gathered during this process. The agency has received several comments on the proposal and the comment period was extended until June 22, 2001.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The agency has broad authority under sections 201, 301, 501, 502, 503, 505, and 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act)(21 U.S.C. 321, 331, 351, 352, 353, 355 and 371) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262) to regulate the content and format of prescription drug labeling to help ensure that products are safe and effective for their intended uses. A major part of FDA's efforts regarding the safe and effective use of drug products involves FDA's review, approval, and monitoring of drug labeling. Under section 502(f)(1) of the Act, a drug is misbranded unless its labeling bears "adequate directions for use" or it is exempted from this requirement by regulation. Under section 201.100 (21 CFR 201.100), a prescription drug is exempted from the requirement in section 502(f)(1) only if, among other things, it contains the information required, in the format specified, by sections 201.56 and 201.57. 

Under section 502(a) of the Act, a drug product is misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading in any particular. Under section 505(d) and 505(e) of the Act, FDA must refuse to approve an application and may withdraw the approval of an application if the labeling for the drug is false or misleading in any particular. Section 201(n) of the Act provides that in determining whether the labeling of a drug is misleading, there shall be taken into account not only representations or suggestions made in the labeling, but also the extent to which the labeling fails to reveal facts that are material in light of such representations or material with respect to the consequences which may result from use of the drug product under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling or under customary usual conditions of use. 

These statutory provisions, combined with section 701(a) of the Act and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act, clearly authorize FDA to promulgate a final regulation designed to help ensure that practitioners prescribing drugs (including biological products) will receive information essential to their safe and effective use in a format that makes the information easier to access, read, and use.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The alternatives to the final rule include not amending the content and format requirements in sections 201.56 and 201.57 at all, or amending them to a lesser extent. The agency has determined that although drug product labeling, as currently designed, is useful to physicians, many find it difficult to locate specific information in labeling, and some of the most frequently consulted and most important information is obscured by other information. In addition, the agency's research showed that physicians strongly support the concept of including a highlights section of the most important prescribing information, an index and numbering system that permits specific information to be easily located, and other  requirements, such as the requirement for a minimum type size. Thus, the agency believes that the requirements in the final rule will greatly facilitate health care practitioners' access and use of prescription drug and biological labeling information.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The expected benefits from the final rule include reduced time needed for health care professionals to read or review labeling for desired information, increased effectiveness of treatment, and a decrease in adverse events resulting from avoidable drug-related errors. For example, the proposed revised format is expected to significantly reduce the time spent on reading labeling by highlighting often used information at the beginning of labeling and facilitating access to detailed information. 

The potential costs associated with the final rule include the cost of redesigning labeling for previously approved products to which the proposed rule would apply and submitting the new labeling to FDA for approval. In addition, one-time and ongoing incremental costs would be associated with printing the longer labeling that would result from additional required sections. These costs would be minimized by applying the amended requirements only to newer products and by staggering the implementation date for previously approved products.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Ozone-Depleting Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is amending the regulation that permits the use of ozone-depleting substances in particular circumstances to set the standard FDA will use to determine when the use of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) is no longer essential under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and set a new standard to determine when a new essential-use designation should be granted after the effective date of the rule. FDA is also amending the regulations to better conform to other statutes and regulations relating to ozone-depleting substances to eliminate potential confusion and conflicts. FDA is eliminating out-of-date transitional provisions and making other nonsubstantive housekeeping changes to its regulations on ozone-depleting substances. The intended effect of the rule is to protect the health and safety of medical product users while complying with the CAA and the Montreal Protocol.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 417 of the Food and Drug Modernization Act (PL 105-115) requires any establishment in any foreign country that is engaged in the manufacture, preparation propagation, compounding, or processing of a drug or device that is imported or offered for import into the United States to register the name and place of business of the establishment and to identify a United States agent.  

The final rule implements the statutory requirement by amending the establishment registration and listing regulations for human drugs and biological products (21 CFR part 207), blood and blood products (21 CFR part 607), and devices (21 CFR part 807). The final rule also discusses the duties of the United States agent. The United States agent's duties, under the final rule, include facilitating communications with the foreign establishment and responding to inquiries about the foreign establishment's products that are imported or offered for import into the United States. The final rule will strengthen FDA?s procedures for ensuring that products imported or offered for import into the United States are safe and effective.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The principal legal basis can be summarized as follows. Section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) requires establishment registration and listing. Section 417 of the Food and Drug Modernization Act amended section 510 by requiring foreign establishments to register, to list their products, and to identify a United States agent.

Section 701(a) of the Act gives FDA authority to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of the Act. Thus, the final rule represents FDA's effort to enforce section 510 of the Act, as amended by section 417 of the Food and Drug Modernization Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA considered requiring less establishment registration information, but the information required by the rule is quite minimal, consisting largely of the establishment's address, names of owners or responsible officials, and additional identifying information (such as the type of establishment). An alternative that would have required less information would not give FDA sufficient information to identify a foreign establishment's location, type, or responsible persons, and this would complicate efforts to locate or contact the foreign establishment.

FDA also rejected requiring less frequent registration by foreign establishments because this would increase the likelihood that the information would become incorrect or obsolete and would hinder regulatory actions involving foreign establishments.

FDA also considered comments seeking an exemption from the United States agent requirement or to allow the United States agent to be in a foreign country. However, the statute requires foreign establishments to have a United States agent, and the most logical interpretation of the statute is that the United States agent must be in the United States rather than in a foreign country. FDA did state that the United States agent may be an entity or a person.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA examined the potential costs and benefits associated with foreign establishment registration. Given its experience with establishment registration for domestic firms, FDA estimates the total registration costs for foreign establishments to be $809,820.  Recordkeeping costs are estimated at $810,000. 
 
The rule's principal benefit would be the creation of an accurate, comprehensive list of foreign establishments. This list will make it easier for FDA to identify foreign establishments, schedule inspections, and contact foreign establishments when needed. The United States agent is another benefit as the United States agent will help FDA in communications with the foreign establishment, respond to questions regarding the foreign establishment's products that are imported or offered for import into the United States, and help schedule inspections of the foreign establishment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Before the enactment of the Food and Drug Modernization Act, Federal law required domestic establishments to register with FDA and to list their products. Foreign manufacturers could register their establishments voluntarily, but were required to list their products. The different treatment between domestic and foreign establishments created some confusion among foreign establishments. Some foreign establishments erroneously believed that listing was voluntary; others neither registered their establishments nor listed their products.

Establishment registration enables FDA to identify manufacturers and other FDA-regulated entities for inspection, communication, and other administrative or regulatory action. For example, if a foreign product presented a health or safety concern, FDA would contact the foreign manufacturer, but if the foreign establishment was not registered, the agency might find it difficult to contact the foreign manufacturer promptly or to contact the manufacturer at all.  

Requiring foreign establishments to register will facilitate FDA's regulatory and enforcement actions and treat domestic and foreign establishments alike. Moreover, the regulation implements section 417 of the Food and Drug Modernization Act.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule would establish reporting and recordkeeping requirements to implement sections 801(d)(3) and 801(d)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) as amended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Export Reform and Enhancement Act of 1996. Section 801(d)(3) of the Act provides that, under prescribed conditions, drug and device components, food and color additives, and dietary supplements may be imported if they are to be further processed or incorporated into products that are to be exported from the United States in accordance with sections 801(e) or 802 of the Act or section 351(h) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. Section 801(d)(4) of the Act provides that blood, blood components, source plasma, or source leukocytes, or a component, accessory, or part thereof, may not be imported under section 801(d)(3) of the Act unless the importation complies with section 351(a) of the PHS Act or FDA permits the importation under FDA-determined appropriate circumstances and conditions. Additionally, section 801(d)(4) of the Act prohibits the importation of tissue or a component or part of tissue under section 801(d)(3) of the Act unless the importation complies with section 361 of the PHS Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule revises 21 CFR parts 10, 201, 250, 310, 329, 361, 606, and 610 by removing the requirement that prescription drugs be labeled "Caution: Federal law prohibits dispensing without prescription" and substituting a requirement that prescription drugs be labeled "Rx only." The rule also revises 21 CFR parts 201, 329, and 369 by removing the requirement that certain habit-forming drugs bear the statement "Warning--May be habit forming." The rule also revises 21 CFR part 290 to clarify that drugs that are controlled substances under the Federal Controlled Substances Act are prescription drugs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 116 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 added a new section to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that sets forth categories for the reporting of manufacturing changes to a drug product (21 U.S.C. 356a). These categories are based on the potential of the change to adversely affect the identity, strength, quality, purity, and potency of the drug as they may relate to the safety and effectiveness of the drug. The rulemaking will establish the procedures for determining what information the agency would require before drugs manufactured subject to these changes may be distributed. The Center for Veterinary Medicine is amending the regulations regarding supplementary new animal drug regulations to incorporate the requirements of section 116.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the General Safety Requirements for Biological Products; Direct Final Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a direct final rule and companion proposed rule to amend the biologics regulations by adding "cellular therapy products" to the list of products excepted from the general safety test (GST) and by adding an administrative procedure for obtaining an exemption from the GST requirements for other biological products. Because the agency received significant adverse comment on the administrative procedure portion of the direct final rule, FDA withdrew that portion of the rule and confirmed the remaining portion. FDA intends to finalize the companion proposed rule to respond to the significant adverse comment on the administrative procedure portion of the rule. FDA is taking this action because the GST may not be relevant or necessary for all biological products, including cellular therapy products, currently in various stages of development. This action is part of FDA's continuing effort to achieve the objectives of the "Reinventing Government" initiative, and is intended to reduce the burden of unnecessary regulations on biological products without diminishing the protection of the public health.]]></ABSTRACT>

Pursuant to section 116, the rulemaking will revise current procedures for approving manufacturing changes and generally classify such changes into four categories. Major manufacturing changes, which are of a type determined by the Secretary to have a substantial potential to adversely affect the identity, strength, quality, purity, and potency of the drug as they may relate to the safety and effectiveness of a drug, require prior approval of a supplemental application. A second category of changes may be made if FDA has not notified the company within 30 days after the submission of a supplement that prior approval is required. A third category of changes may be made upon submission of a supplement to the agency. The rule will also identify another category of changes that may be made without the submission of a supplement but which must be reported in an annual report.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Labeling: Trans Fatty Acids in Nutrition Labeling, Nutrient Content Claims, and Health Claims</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 403(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which was added by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA), requires that the label or labeling of food products bear nutrition information. Among other things, section 403(q) of the Act authorizes the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to add or delete nutrients that are to be declared on the labels or labeling of food products by regulation if it finds such action necessary to assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices. FDA issued final regulations implementing NLEA in 1993. FDA subsequently received a citizen petition requesting that FDA amend its regulations on food labeling to require that the amount of trans fatty acids be listed in the nutrition label and be limited wherever saturated fat limits are placed on nutrient content claims, health claims, or disqualifying levels and disclosure levels. In response to this petition and based on new evidence, FDA proposed the actions requested in the petition on November 17, 1999 (64 FR 62746). In addition, FDA proposed to define the claim "trans fat free."]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA intends to publish a final rule amending its nutrition labeling regulations to incorporate requirements for trans fatty acids in labeling, nutrient content and health claims for several reasons.  First, this final rule responds, in part, to a citizen petition on trans fatty acids in food labeling from the Center for Science in the Public Interest.  Also, recent research shows that dietary trans fatty acids raise low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), the major diet related risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD).  Finally, the information on trans fatty acids in nutrition labeling is needed to assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The NLEA (Pub. L. 101-535) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) to provide, among other things, that certain nutrients and food components be included in nutrition labeling.  Sections 403(q)(2)(A) and (q)(2)(B) of the Act provide the agency with authority to, by regulation, add or delete nutrients included in the food label or labeling if the agency finds that such action will assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA proposed, in the November 1999 proposal, that when trans fatty acids are present in a food, the declaration of saturated fat must bear a symbol that refers to a footnote at the bottom of the nutrition label that states the number of grams of trans fatty acids present in a serving of the product, i.e., "Includes ___ g trans fat." In addition to the proposed option, the agency considered a variety of other options for the declaration of trans fatty acids in the Nutrition Facts panel. The other options were: (1) include trans fatty acids with saturated fat and call the total value "saturated fat;" (2) include trans fatty acids with saturated fat and call the total value "saturated fat," and add an asterisk after the term "saturated fat" when the food contains trans fatty acids that refers to a footnote stating "Contains ____ g trans fat;" (3) include trans fatty acids with saturated fat and call the total value "saturated + trans fat;" and (4) list trans fatty acids separately under saturated fat.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA has estimated the benefits of the proposed rule in the range of $25 to $50 billion compared with costs in the range of $400 to $900 million (discounted at 7 percent for 20 years). The value of the benefits were estimated based on CHD morbidity and mortality prevented. The costs were estimated based on a formula that included costs for testing, decisionmaking, information panel reprinting, relabeling of the principal display panels and product reformulation.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The American Heart Association estimates that CHD causes 1.1 million heart attack cases annually, with 33 percent of them fatal.  FDA used these estimates as the baseline to estimate the number of cases and fatalities prevented by this rule.  The agency estimated the rule would annually prevent 6,300 to 17,100 cases of CHD and 2,100 to 5,600 deaths, using three different methods to estimate these benefits.  Thus, the labeling changes resulting from this rule are expected to reduce the risk of CHD, preventing, at a minimum, 6,300 cases of CHD and 2,100 deaths annually.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>CGMPs for Blood and Blood Components: Notification of Consignees and Transfusion Recipients Receiving Blood and Blood Components at Increased Risk of Transmitting HCV (Lookback)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is one of a number of actions being taken to amend the biologics regulations to remove, revise, or update the regulations applicable to blood, blood components, and blood derivatives. These actions are based on a comprehensive review of the regulations performed by FDA, and are also based on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, as well as public comments. In this rulemaking, FDA will amend the biologics regulations to require that blood establishments prepare and follow written procedures for appropriate action when it is determined that blood and blood components pose an increased risk for transmitting hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection because they have been collected from a donor who, at a later date, tested repeatedly reactive for evidence of HCV.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In the Federal Register of June 22, 1999 (64 FR 33309), FDA announced the availability of guidance, which updated previous guidance, providing recommendations for donor screening and further testing for antibodies to HCV, notification of consignees, transfusion recipient tracing and notification, and counseling by physicians regarding transfusion with blood components at increased risk for transmitting HCV (often called "lookback"). While available evidence indicates that blood establishments are following these recommendations, FDA believes that regulations should be codified, consistent with the previous recommendations, to assure there is clear enforcement authority in case deficiencies in an establishment's lookback program are found and to provide clear instructions for continuing lookback activities.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Public Health Service Act (21 U.S.C. 216 et seq.) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321 et seq.) authorize FDA to regulate biological products and to ensure that the products are safe, pure, potent, and effective. The Public Health Service Act also contains the authority under which FDA can promulgate regulations to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. These regulations would assure that appropriate action is taken when blood components have been transfused which may potentially be capable of transmitting HCV, that persons who have been transfused with such blood components are notified so that they receive proper counseling and treatment, and to help prevent the further transmission of HCV.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA has considered permitting the continued voluntary compliance with the recommendations that have already issued. However, lookback will remain appropriate for the foreseeable future, and FDA believes that the procedures should be clearly established in the regulations.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA is in the process of analyzing the costs related to the rulemaking. Monetary burdens will be associated to the tracing of previous donations of donors, identifying the recipients of these previous blood donations, and notifying these recipients, as appropriate. FDA believes these costs will be more than compensated by the public health benefits, including benefits related to the notification of past transfusion recipients who may be unaware that they may be infected with HCV.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[FDA believes there are minimum risks posed by requiring that appropriate lookback procedures for HCV be prepared and followed.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Additives: Food Contact Substances Notification System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In November 1997, Congress amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFD&C) to establish a notification process whereby manufacturers and suppliers of components of food contact materials may notify FDA 120 days prior to marketing a new food contact substance. If FDA does not object to the notification within 120 days, the substance may be marketed with the same status as a regulated food additive. FDA is authorized to publish regulations outlining the information required to be submitted in premarket notifications for food-contact substances submitted to the agency. FDA is also authorized to publish regulations that identify when a food additive petition is required in lieu of a premarket notification. FDA is not required to accept a premarket notification in any fiscal year for which an appropriation is not specifically made for this program. FDA expects that the majority of food-contact substances that are currently the subject of food additive petitions will be the subject of premarket notifications. FDA also expects that substances currently reviewed under the agency's threshold of regulation process will be reviewed as premarket notifications under the new process. Unlike food additive regulations, premarket notifications will be specific to the notifier. The proposed use of a similar or identical substance produced by another manufacturer will require a separate premarket notification submission. Also unlike food additive petitions, the existence of the notification and any otherwise releasable data within the notification is not publicly available until the 120-day period has expired. FDA expects to keep a publicly available list of effective premarket notifications to assist manufacturers, distributors, and users of food packaging and other food-contact materials. FDA published a proposed rule on the notification process for food contact substances on July 13, 2000.  The comment period on the proposed rule ended on September 26, 2000. Three comments were received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In 1998, the General Accounting Office issued a report titled, "Food Safety: Federal Efforts to Ensure the Safety of Imported Foods Are Inconsistent and Unreliable." The report stated that some food importers evade import controls and are able to introduce contaminated, adulterated, or unsafe food into the United States even after FDA refused to admit the food and the Customs Service ordered the food to be reexported or destroyed.  

Additionally, in 1998, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations conducted hearings on the safety of food imports. The subcommittee heard testimony about reimporting refused foods through another port (a practice known as "port shopping)." On July 3, 1999, the President issued a memorandum to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of the Treasury directing them, in part, to take all actions available to "prohibit the reimportation of food that has been previously refused admission and has not been brought into compliance with United States laws and regulations" by requiring the marking of shipping containers and/or papers of imported food that is refused admission for safety reasons.  

Consequently, FDA and the Department of the Treasury jointly prescribed a rule to require that imported food that has been refused admission for safety reasons be marked as "UNITED STATES REFUSED ENTRY." The mark will make it easier to detect previously refused food and reduce, if not eliminate, "port shopping."]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 801(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) authorizes FDA to refuse to admit imported food if the food has been manufactured, processed, or packed under insanitary conditions, is forbidden or restricted in sale in the country in which is was produced, or is adulterated or misbranded. Sections 402 and 403 of the Act describe when a food is adulterated or misbranded respectively. Section 701(a) of the Act authorizes FDA to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the Act, while section 701(b) of the Act authorizes FDA and the Department of the Treasury to jointly prescribe regulations for the efficient enforcement of section 801 of the Act.

The final rule is within FDA's authority at sections 402, 403, 701, and 801 of the Act. In general, unsafe food is often adulterated under section 402 of the Act, and may also be misbranded under section 403 of the Act if the food purports to meet a particular definition, standard of identity, or standard of quality. Marking refused foods will make it easier for FDA to refuse to admit previously-refused, adulterated or misbranded food imports into the United States.

Additionally, section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) authorizes FDA to "render assistance" to appropriate health authorities in the conduct of or to promote coordination of research, investigations, experiments, demonstrations, and studies relating to the causes, diagnosis, treatment, control, and prevention of disease. Section 361 of the PHS Act authorizes FDA to issue regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases into the United States. Marking refused food products will help foreign health officials determine whether to take regulatory action against a particular product. It would also alert foreign officials to previously refused food and help prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases into the United States by making it more difficult for unsafe food to reenter the United States.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA considered exempting small businesses from the rule, but, because most importers and consignees would qualify as small businesses, this would negate the rule's purpose.  

The agency also considered ordering the destruction of all refused food imports, but this would not be feasible because it would divert federal resources to supervising or otherwise ensuring that the refused food imports are stored until they can be destroyed and that they are destroyed.

A "no action" alternative was rejected because it would allow illegal practices, such as port shopping, to continue, resulting in unsafe food entering the United States.

FDA also rejected marking some, but not all, imported food refused entry for safety reasons. While this alternative would be less costly, it would also be less efficient because some refused food imports would be able to reenter the United States and because a previously-refused, but unmarked, food would be difficult to detect compared to a previously-refused and marked food. This alternative would also result in arguments as to the criteria to be applied and whether a particular food should be marked.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA examined the potential costs and benefits associated with marking refused food imports. Importers and consignees would bear the costs associated with marking refused food imports. If these importers and consignees use labeling (an inexpensive and time efficient method) as their marking method, the annual cost to importers and consignees would be $398,663 with an additional $39,600 in costs for labeling equipment. FDA would incur an estimated $308,131 in hourly wage costs associated with refusals to admit an imported food and for supervising the marking process.  

The rule's principal benefit would be a reduction in the number of illnesses and injuries caused by unsafe imported food. The agency is unable to quantify the amount of illegal importation of previously refused foods, so it cannot accurately predict the value of reduced illnesses and injury.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>State Certification of Mammography Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is considering regulations to implement section (q) of the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 (the MQSA). This section permits FDA to authorize individual States to certify mammography facilities, to conduct the inspection of the facilities, to implement the MQSA quality standards, and to administer other related functions. FDA retains oversight responsibility for the activities of the States authorized to carry out certification requirements and mammography facilities certified by those States must continue to meet the quality standards established by FDA for mammography facilities nationwide. The rule would include procedures for application, approval, evaluation, and withdrawal of approval of States as Certification Agencies. It also would include standards to be met by States receiving this authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulation would require sponsors of human trials involving human gene therapy or xenotransplantation to submit a redacted version for public disclosure of an investigational new drug application (IND), an amendment to an IND, or other related documents.  The submission would be redacted to exclude trade secret information and personal information, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. FDA would then make the redacted documents available to the general public and the information would be available for discussion in open session at scientific advisory committee meetings and at other suitable fora.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Efficacy Evidence Needed for Products to be Used Against Toxic Substances When Human Studies Are Unethical</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency plans to publish a final rule that would amend its new drug and biological product regulations to identify the information needed to provide substantial evidence of the efficacy of new drug and biological products used to reduce or prevent the toxicity of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear substances when adequate and well-controlled efficacy studies in humans ethically cannot be conducted. Efficacy studies in humans cannot be conducted ethically if: 1) the studies would involve administering a potentially lethal or permanently disabling toxic substance or organism to healthy human volunteers without a proven treatment; and 2) field trials (assessment of use of the product after accidental or hostile exposure to the substance) are not feasible. FDA is taking this action because it recognizes the importance of improving medical responses to the use of lethal or permanently disabling chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear substances in order to protect individuals exposed to these substances.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[A distinct possibility exists that American military personnel and civilians may be exposed to lethal or permanently disabling chemical, biological, or radiological substances in the course of conventional or unconventional warfare, as a result of terrorist actions, or as a consequence of an industrial accident. Significant difficulties are presented in conducting efficacy studies on drug and biological products intended to reduce or prevent the toxicity of these substances in humans. The incidence of exposure is so low that field efficacy studies cannot be conducted and the toxicity of the substances prevents them from being ethically given to healthy volunteers. The only practical and ethical means of evaluating the efficacy of drugs and biological products in these situations is to rely on data from animal studies that are an adequate model for the action of both the toxin and the drug or biological product in humans.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA approves new drugs under the authority of the Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) and biological products under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act. Section 505(d) (21 USC 355(d)) of the Act authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue an order refusing to approve a new drug application if the Secretary finds that "there is a lack of substantial evidence that the drug will have the effect it purports or is represented to have under the conditions of use prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the proposed labeling thereof ...."  The term substantial evidence is defined in section 505(d) of the Act as"... evidence consisting of adequate and well-controlled investigations, including clinical investigations, by experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug involved, on the basis of which it could fairly and responsibly be concluded by such experts that the drug will have the effect it purports or is represented to have under the conditions of use prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling or proposed labeling thereof."

In interpreting the term "substantial evidence," FDA has viewed the phrase "adequate and well-controlled investigations, including clinical investigations" as meaning that efficacy determinations must include studies of efficacy in humans. The agency's regulations did not contemplate situations in which efficacy studies cannot ethically be conducted in humans, and FDA believes that it would be inconsistent with the statute's public health objectives to conclude that FDA cannot use some other basis for considering the efficacy of such products. The legislative history does not address this issue. Concluding that such products cannot ever be approved because human efficacy trials cannot be conducted is contrary to the public interest and inconsistent with the Act's purpose of public health protection.  

FDA has therefore concluded that, where definitive human efficacy studies cannot ethically be conducted because they would necessarily expose healthy subjects to a potentially lethal or permanently disabling substance, the statutory standard permits efficacy to be based on adequate and well-controlled investigations that are not conducted in humans. This conclusion is consistent with the recognition by Congress of the importance of ethical behavior in the study of unapproved products. For FDA to approve products where definitive efficacy studies cannot be conducted in humans there must be sufficient data available to meet the statutory standard. The data must be such that experts are able to fairly and responsibly conclude "that the drug will have the effect it purports or is represented to have ..." in humans. Where data from adequate and well-controlled animal studies meet this standard, FDA may approve the product.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA did not identify any valid alternatives to using efficacy data from animal studies to approve drug and biological products used to treat or prevent the toxicity of chemical, biological, or radiological substances where the normal incidence of exposure is so low that normal clinical trials would be impractical and the deliberate exposure of volunteers to the substances would be unethical. The rule would not apply if product approval can be based on standards described elsewhere in FDA's regulations (for example, accelerated approval based on human surrogate markers or clinical endpoints other than survival or irreversible morbidity).]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The potential public health benefits of having new drugs and biological products approved under this rule are difficult to measure. The cost of approving new drugs and biological products under this rule should not exceed the cost of approving similar drugs based on clinical efficacy data.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Risks from the use of drugs and biological products approved under this rule should be minimal. The safety of these products will be studied in human volunteers comparable to the people who would be exposed to the product.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. This final rule establishes additional criteria and procedures by which other OTC conditions may become eligible for consideration in the OTC drug monograph system. The additional criteria and procedures describe how OTC drugs marketed in the United States after the OTC drug review began in 1972 and OTC drugs without any U.S. marketing experience may become eligible and, if found eligible, how the drug would be evaluated for general recognition of safety and effectiveness.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule benefits manufacturers and consumers because it provides for increased access to certain OTC drugs under certain conditions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The legal basis is the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. sections 321, 351, 352, 353, 355, 360 and 371. No aspect of the action is required by statute or court order.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Without this final rule, the only alternative to marketing approval for drugs subject to the rule would be an NDA.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The major benefit of this rule will be increased over the counter access to drugs, and potential cost savings to consumers. Considering potential one-time cost savings associated with prescription drug user fees and reduced reporting requirements of marketing under an OTC drug monograph vs. an NDA, the agency calculates a one-time cost savings to industry of around $300,000 per submission. Future yearly cost savings could total around $21,000 per product and $142,000 per establishment if the submitted product were the establishment's only product. If FDA receives 25 to 50 submissions a year, industry would save between $7.3 and $14.5 million in one-time costs alone.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There are minimal risks associated with this final rule. The flexibility to market drug products under FDA's OTC drug monogreaph system provides an overall net benefit to the companies seeking to use this approach, as well as to the American public. One important benefit to sponsoring companies is the saving of NDA user fees (see Anticipated Costs and Benefits above). The American public benefits by having OTC drugs without any U.S. marketing experience but sufficient foreign marketing experience become available in the U.S.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Animal Drug Approval Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 17, 1991, the Agency published a proposed revision of the existing regulations that is consistent with the current procedural regulations for human drugs, where appropriate. The New Animal Drug Application (NADA) revisions articulate general requirements in regulations containing performance standards and would complement these regulations through detailed guidance on, among other matters, appropriate ways of meeting requirements for submission of chemistry, pharmacology, and statistical data that would better address the intricate scientific issues involved. A separate proposed rule for reporting requirements for marketed animal drugs also was published on that date. The agency intends to repropose the NADA proposed rule to incorporate some recent changes in procedure. The NADA revisions are expected to include regulations to implement the provisions of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996, specifically the definition of flexible labeling, and implement parts of the President's National Performance Report "Reinventing the Regulation of Animal Drugs," May 1996. In the reinventing regulations report, FDA proposed to revise its regulations to reflect numerous new process changes and programs that will maintain the safety and effectiveness of new animal drugs and enable a more streamlined animal drug application review and approval process which will result in less regulatory burden upon industry and FDA. The Agency also proposes to amend its regulations to implement title I of the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act, which established new standards for marketing approval of generic copies of animal drugs approved after 1962.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Records and Reports Concerning Experience with Approved New Animal Drugs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 17, 1991, the Agency published a proposed revision of the existing regulations that is consistent with the current procedural regulations for human drugs, where appropriate. The New Animal Drug Application (NADA) revisions articulate general requirements in regulations containing performance standards and would complement these regulations through detailed guidance on, among other matters, appropriate ways of meeting requirements for submission of chemistry, pharmacology, and statistical data that would better address the intricate scientific issues involved. A separate proposed rule for reporting requirements for marketed animal drugs also was published on that date. The agency intends to repropose the NADA proposed rule to incorporate some recent changes in procedure. The NADA revisions are expected to include regulations to implement the provisions of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996, specifically the definition of flexible labeling, and implement parts of the President's National Performance Report "Reinventing the Regulation of Animal Drugs," May 1996. In the reinventing regulations report, FDA proposed to revise its regulations to reflect numerous new process changes and programs that will maintain the safety and effectiveness of new animal drugs and enable a more streamlined animal drug application review and approval process which will result in less regulatory burden upon industry and FDA. The Agency also proposes to amend its regulations to implement title I of the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act, which established new standards for marketing approval of generic copies of animal drugs approved after 1962.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Labeling Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) requires that most foods bear nutrition labeling. The agency issued final rules implementing most of the provisions contained in the NLEA on January 6, 1993. Subsequently, however, the agency has identified additional areas that should be the subject of rulemaking. FDA issued a proposal on January 6, 1993, to establish requirements for the identification of certain ingredients on food labels. FDA proposed on June 15, 1993, to amend its January 6, 1993, final rules on nutrient content and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. The agency proposed on January 4, 1994, to establish reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of the National Research Council's Recommended Dietary Allowances. On March 14, 1994, FDA published a proposal implementing the provisions for exemptions from nutrition labeling for low-volume food products of small businesses that were established by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act Amendments of 1993. On August 18, 1993, FDA published a proposal concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel on food labels. Finally, on July 18, 1994, FDA published proposed revised guidelines for the voluntary declaration of nutrition labeling for raw produce and fish. A final rule concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel was published on April 5, 1995. A final rule establishing reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of Recommended Dietary Allowances was published on December 28, 1995. 

FDA published a final rule on August 2, 1996, on nutrient content claims and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. FDA published a final rule on August 7, 1996, implementing the exemption for small businesses from the requirements for nutrition labeling and providing instructions on how to file a notice claiming the exemption. FDA published on August 16, 1996, final guidelines on the voluntary declaration of nutrition labeling for raw produce and fish.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Investigational Use New Animal Drug Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is proposing to revise its regulations governing investigational use of new animal drugs by proposing to delete 21 CFR 511 and establish in 21 CFR part 512 revised investigational use of new animal drug regulations. The investigational use new animal drug regulations are expected to include regulations to implement provisions of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996, specifically presubmission conferences, and implement parts of the President's National Performance Report, "Reinventing the Regulation of Animal Drugs," May 1996. In the reinventing regulations report, FDA proposed to revise its regulations to reflect numerous new process changes and programs that will enable a more streamlined animal drug application review and approval process, and that would result in less regulatory burden upon industry and FDA while maintaining the safety and effectiveness of new animal drugs. In addition, FDA is initiating a review of this rule under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The purpose of the section 610 review is to determine if the rule should be amended to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities. FDA will consider and solicit comments on the following: 1) the continued need for the rule; 2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule; 3) the complexity of the rule; 4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State or local government rules; and 5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of implementing the proposed regulatory approach to human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to require manufacturers of human cells and tissue to follow current good tissue practice (GTP), which includes proper handling, processing, and storage of human cells and tissue, recordkeeping, and the maintenance of a quality program. FDA is also proposing to amend the current good manufacturing practice regulations that apply to medical device products and human drug products in order to incorporate the new GTP requirements into existing good manufacturing practice regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a citizen petition filed by the American Feed Industry Association, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the requirements for liquid medicated animal feed to clarify what information and data are required to demonstrate chemical and positional stability. The amended regulations would also clarify the provisions for the submission of such data through a master file and the reference to master files by subsequent applicants. Additionally, FDA is proposing to amend the regulations for free-choice medicated feed in order to ensure consistency with the requirements for liquid medicated feed. Finally, FDA is proposing to amend the regulations for free-choice medicated feed and liquid medicated feed so that these provisions comply with the terms of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pharmacy and Physician Compounding of Drug Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) (21 U.S.C. 353a) describes the circumstances under which compounded drugs may qualify for exemption from three requirements of the Act: (1) that a drug be manufactured according to current good manufacturing practice; (2) that a drug have adequate directions for use; and (3) that a marketing application be approved by FDA before a new drug product is introduced for sale (i.e., sections 501(a)(2)(B), 502(f)(1), and 505 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B), 352(f)(1), and 355)). To qualify for the exemption, a pharmacist or physician must meet statutory conditions for compounding, including the following: (1) there generally must be a prescription for an identified individual patient before compounding; (2) compounding before receiving a prescription is allowed only under limited circumstances; (3) the quantity of drugs that may be shipped out of State is limited and may vary depending on whether the compounder is located in a State that has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with FDA; (4) drug products may only be compounded using a bulk drug substance (which is essentially the active ingredient) that is listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) or National Formulary (NF), or a bulk drug substance that is a component of an FDA-approved drug product, or a bulk drug substance that is listed in the regulation as one that FDA has found to be suitable for compounding; (5) the bulk drug substance must be made in a facility registered with FDA and the bulk drug substance must be accompanied by a certificate of analysis; (6) they cannot compound regularly or in inordinate amounts any drug products that are essentially copies of commercially available products; (7) drug products may not be compounded if they are listed in a regulation as having been removed from the market or had their FDA-approval withdrawn because they were found to be not safe or not effective; (8) drug products that are listed in the regulations as "demonstrably difficult to compound" may not be compounded. The regulations will amplify and explain the statutory requirements as well as execute tasks Congress assigned FDA in section 503A. This proposed rule will be one of several rulemakings implementing section 503A. Related regulatory initiatives are described below: (1) FDA has issued a final rule listing drug products that may not be compounded because they were found to be not safe or not effective and were removed from the market or had their FDA approval withdrawn; (2) FDA has also issued a proposed rule and is preparing a final rule listing drugs that are not the subject of a USP or NF monograph, and are not components of an FDA-approved drug product but are suitable for compounding; (3) FDA is currently preparing a proposed rule listing those drugs that are demonstrably difficult to compound and are not allowed to be compounded; and (4) FDA has published a Federal Register notice announcing the availability of a draft MOU between FDA and State boards of pharmacy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Drug Products That Present Demonstrable Difficulties for Compounding Because of Reasons of Safety or Effectiveness</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 127 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) added section 503A to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 353a). Section 503A exempts compounded drug products, under certain circumstances, from several key provisions of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Section 503A(b)(3)(A) directs FDA to issue by regulation a list of drug products that, if compounded, will not qualify for these exemptions because their compounding would be demonstrably difficult in terms of assuring the safety or effectiveness of the compounded product.]]></ABSTRACT>

L. 104-250) permits the Secretary of HHS to establish tolerances for animal drugs used or intended for use in animals grown in an exporting nation from which an edible portion is imported into the United States. The standards used to establish tolerances are to be similar to the food safety criteria used by the Secretary to establish tolerances for drugs administered to animals grown in the United States. The data used for establishing the tolerances may be from the manufacturer and include data upon which a foreign approval is based or data available to an international organization such as the Codex Alimentarius Commission. This rule would implement the provisions in ADAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[During the notice and comment rulemaking for 21 CFR part 589, "Listing of Specific Substances Prohibited from Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins Prohibited in Ruminant Feed," FDA received several comments supporting the application of mandatory Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations for renderers. Some of these comments were from renderers. Because of the need to expedite the rulemaking for 21 CFR part 589, FDA stated that it would take up the HACCP regulations for renderers as a separate initiative. This rulemaking is to address the need expressed in the comments to 21 CFR part 589 by promulgating mandatory HACCP regulations for renderers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[After determining that dioxins were present in some clays used as anti-caking agents in animal feeds, the agency is considering proposing a rule that would prohibit the use of these clays unless they meet certain conditions under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. At this time, it is not clear whether there are other types of mined clay products that contain dioxins or whether the relatively low concentrations found in recent samples of mined clay products would have a significant impact on the public health. Thus, the advance notice of proposed rulemaking will request further information regarding the presence of dioxins in mined clay products used in animal feeds or feed ingredients and the significance of these dioxins to the public health.]]></ABSTRACT>

FDA is requiring that this submission be made at least 120 days prior to the commercial distribution of such foods. FDA took this action to ensure that it has the appropriate amount of information about bioengineered foods to help to ensure that all market entry decisions by the industry are made consistently and in full compliance with the law. The action will permit the agency to assess on an ongoing basis whether plant-derived bioengineered foods comply with the standards of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

The registration information would include the name of the institution operating the IRB, and names, addresses, phone numbers, facsimile (fax) numbers, and electronic mail (e-mail) addresses of the senior officer of the institution and IRB chair or contact, the range of active protocols (small, medium, or large) involving FDA-regulated products reviewed in the previous calendar year, and a description of the types of FDA-regulated products reviewed.

        <RULE_TITLE>Chronic Wasting Disease: Control of Food Products and Cosmetics Derived from Exposed Animal Populations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to prohibit the use of cervids (deer, elk) for food, including dietary supplements, and cosmetics if the cervids have been exposed to chronic wasting disease (CWD). FDA is proposing this regulation because of potential risks to health.

CWD is a type of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), a group of fatal, neurodegenerative diseases that include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, scrapie in sheep, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans. CWD affects cervids in the United States and Canada.

CWD is endemic in cervid populations in certain areas of Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. The disease has been identified in wild and farmed elk and wild deer populations. At least one published scientific article has reported that infectious CWD prion proteins in vitro can convert normal, non-infectious human prion proteins into abnormal, infectious forms. These data suggest that the agent of CWD could be transmitted to humans.

Currently, there are no validated analytical tests to identify animals in the pre-clinical phase of CWD, or any other TSE. CWD typically exhibits a long incubation period, during which time animals appear normal but are likely to be infectious. Therefore, FDA is proposing to require that food or cosmetic products derived from animals exposed to CWD not enter into commerce.]]></ABSTRACT>

FDA proposed on June 15, 1993, to amend its January 6, 1993, final rules on nutrient content and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. The agency proposed on January 4, 1994, to establish reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of the National Research Council's Recommended Dietary Allowances. On March 14, 1994, FDA published a proposal implementing the provisions for exemptions from nutrition labeling for low-volume food products of small businesses that were established by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act Amendments of 1993. On August 18, 1993, FDA published a proposal concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel on food labels. Finally, on July 18, 1994, FDA published proposed revised guidelines for the voluntary declaration of nutrition labeling for raw produce and fish.

        <RULE_TITLE>Classification of Computer Software Programs That Are Medical Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is considering whether to classify stand-alone computer software products that fit the definition of a medical device under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Although the Secretary has not made a final decision to initiate such a program, the agency is considering classifying these devices by using a risk-based approach as required under the Medical Device Amendments to the Act. In addition, the agency would use existing exemptions from regulation where appropriate. Under this approach, low risk medical software devices would be subject only to the adulteration and misbranding provisions of the Act. Moderate risk devices would additionally be subject to the registration, listing, good manufacturing practice requirements, and reporting and recordkeeping requirements. High risk devices would be the only products to require premarket submissions. FDA would seek comment on potential criteria related to the intended uses of medical software devices that might be used in determining the level of risk.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reinventing FDA Food Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register, FDA proposed to improve the coordination of the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA for substances used in meat and poultry products. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996, FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review: 1) its human food labeling regulations pertaining to the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; 2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; 3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and 4) its food additive regulations to consolidate certain existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. The latter was published August 12, 1997. 

On October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule (pertaining to food regulations only) was published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date on those regulations, promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)), pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69), was published on August 27, 1996. 

In the Federal Register of April 17, 1997 (62 FR 18938), FDA proposed to establish a notification procedure for companies to use to inform FDA of a company's determination that use of a substance in food is generally recognized as safe (GRAS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[21 CFR parts 600 through 680 describe regulations applicable to biological products. Part 600 describes regulations for general establishment standards, establishment inspections, and the reporting of adverse experiences applicable to manufacturers of licensed biological products. FDA is initiating a review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act for the regulations in part 600. The purpose of this review is to determine if any of the regulations in part 600 should be continued without change, or should be amended or rescinded, to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities. FDA will consider, and solicit comments on, the following: (1) the continued need for a regulation in part 600; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning a regulation in part 600; (3) the complexity of a regulation in part 600; (4) the extent to which a regulation in part 600 overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or government rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions or other factors have changed in the area affected by a regulation in part 600.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revocation of Obsolete Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register, FDA proposed to improve the coordination of the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA for substances used in meat and poultry products. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996, FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review: 1) its human food labeling regulations pertaining to the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; 2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; 3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and 4) its food additive regulations to consolidate certain existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. The latter was published August 12, 1997. 

On October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule (pertaining to food regulations only) was published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date on those regulations, promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)), pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69), was published on August 27, 1996. 

In the Federal Register of April 17, 1997 (62 FR 18938), FDA proposed to establish a notification procedure for companies to use to inform FDA of a company's determination that use of a substance in food is generally recognized as safe (GRAS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exempt Infant Formula; Plan for Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register, FDA proposed to improve the coordination of the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA for substances used in meat and poultry products. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996, FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review: 1) its human food labeling regulations pertaining to the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; 2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; 3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and 4) its food additive regulations to consolidate certain existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. The latter was published August 12, 1997. 

On October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule (pertaining to food regulations only) was published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date on those regulations, promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)), pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69), was published on August 27, 1996. 

In the Federal Register of April 17, 1997 (62 FR 18938), FDA proposed to establish a notification procedure for companies to use to inform FDA of a company's determination that use of a substance in food is generally recognized as safe (GRAS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register, FDA proposed to improve the coordination of the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA for substances used in meat and poultry products. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996, FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review: 1) its human food labeling regulations pertaining to the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; 2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; 3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and 4) its food additive regulations to consolidate certain existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. The latter was published August 12, 1997. 

On October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule (pertaining to food regulations only) was published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date on those regulations, promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)), pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69), was published on August 27, 1996. 

In the Federal Register of April 17, 1997 (62 FR 18938), FDA proposed to establish a notification procedure for companies to use to inform FDA of a company's determination that use of a substance in food is generally recognized as safe (GRAS).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Negotiated rulemaking is prescribed by the Act and is consistent with Federal policy on coordination and consultation with tribal governments. Given the number of Indian and Alaska Native Tribes and extent of the provisions covered by the Act, absence of this regulation would have a substantial negative impact on the implementation of title V. The proposed rule represents a consensus of Tribal and Federal representatives on most of the provisions. Failure to implement the rule would result in wide variation in interpretation of the provisions and potential for increased litigation. Further, failure to implement the rule would be received poorly by Tribal leaders who have worked in good faith to reach consensus on the provisions.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

For each year of scholarship support, the recipient agrees to service (employment) after graduation, at the NIH, for one year. Additionally, the individual agrees to at least 10 consecutive weeks of service (employment) at the NIH during which the individual is attending the educational institution and receiving the NIH scholarship. The proposed new regulations will cover this program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Institutes of Health Clinics Research Loan Repayment Program for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NIH proposes to amend the current regulations by revising sections 68a.8(a) to reflect the increase in the maximum annual loan repayment from $20,000 to $35,000, and other sections to reflect expansion of the program to include extramural investigators from disadvantaged backgrounds. This action is necessary because of the enactment of the Health Professions Education Partnership Act of 1998, Public Law 105-392, and enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001, Public Law 106-554. Section 410 of Public Law 105-392 amends section 487E(a) of the PHS Act to increase the maximum annual amount.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Mental Health Services Block Grant</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SAMHSA is responsible for the implementation of the Community Mental health Services (CMHS) Block Grant program which distributes this year $420 million to States for the provision of community-based mental health services to adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbance. While there is no statutory requirement that regulations be developed, the statute does give the Secretary the authority and responsibility of determining whether States have complied with the requirements of the statute. This regulation establishes the criteria the Secretary will use in determining whether a Sate is in compliance with the requirements of the statute. In order for the Secretary to act on a determination of non-compliance, the Department must issue regulations clearly identifying for the States what they are required to do.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) (formerly, the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA)) has permitted applicants for its Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant program to submit an application for a grant as late as March 31 of the fiscal year for which it is applying. Starting with the fiscal year 2001 applications, SAMHSA is proposing a new date for receipt of the applications for SAPT Block Grants of October 1 of the fiscal year for which Block Grant funding is being requested. However, the deadline for two application components required to be submitted by that due date may be extended for a limited period, not to extend beyond December 31 of the same fiscal year when good cause is demonstrated.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Three alternatives were considered:  

Option 1: Federal and State Medicaid Agencies Cost : $38.1M
Option 2: Private Organizations               Cost : $38.1M
Option 3: Registry                            Cost : $34.9M

Duration: Every option is required to complete the enumeration process within two years of the promulgation and effective date of the Final Rule for all health plans, except that small health plans have three years to comply.

Option 1: Two or more coordinating entities will share responsibility for enumerating health plans. The entities would consist of Federal and State Medicaid programs.

Option 2: Same as option one, except that coordinating entities would consist of private organizations.

Option 3: CMS, acting through a contractor, would be the single entity enumerating all health plans and maintaining the registry.

Decision: The Secretary has selected option three, not only because its costs are lower, but also because it would result in less burden on organization in coordinating enumeration, less confusion for health plans, better quality control of data control, and better management of the enumeration process.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[A benefit/cost analysis was conducted with three contribution rates of PlanID toward overall HIPPA cost savings. Given a 1 percent contribution rate, the PlanID project shows a net present value of over $12.8 M and a benefit/cost ratio of 1.45. For 5 and 15 percent rates, the net present values are $179.2M and $595.3M, respectively, and the benefit cost ratios are 7.23 and 21.69, respectively. These values indicate that the implementation of the PlanID project will result in a considerable positive return on investment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There are three categories of risk:
Technical and Operational--physical/logical system
Schedule--delays/slippage
Cost/Budget--cost overruns, funding shortfalls, unexpected funding needs

An assessment and mitigation of risks was conducted as part of the information technology documentation. The subsequent risk analysis determined the project to be a low risk endeavor.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Health Insurance Reform: Modifications to Standards for Electronic Transactions (CMS-0003-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would adopt modifications to certain standards for retail pharmacies adopted in our regulations entitled "Health Insurance Reform: Standards for Electronic Transactions" published in the Federal Register on August 17, 2000 (65 FR 50312), which implemented some of the requirements of the Administrative Simplification subtitle of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. This rule proposes to adopt the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs Batch Standard Batch Implementation Guide, Version 1, Release 1 (Version 1.1), January 2000 for the following standards for retail pharmacy transactions: health care claims or equivalent encounter information; eligibility for a health plan; referral certification and authorization; and coordination of benefits. Additionally, we propose to modify the standard for the health care claim payment and remittance advice transaction as the standard for the retail pharmacy sector by adopting, in place of the current standard, the ASC X12N 835, Health Care Claim Payment/Advice, as the standard for the retail pharmacy transaction.

This rule also proposes to repeal the adoption of National Drug Codes as the standard medical data code set for reporting drugs and biologics in all standard transactions, except those for retail pharmacy transactions, for which standards have been adopted.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Medicare inpatient hospital acute-care PPS was established by the Social Security Amendments of 1983 (Pub. L. 98-21). This prospective payment system (PPS) generally applies to all hospitals participating in the Medicare program with certain exclusions, exemptions, and adjustments specifically set out under the law.  Long-term care hospitals (LTCHs), established under section 101 of Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) of 1982, which amended section 1886(b) of the Social Security Act, was one of four classes of specialty hospitals (the others being children's, psychiatric, rehabilitation, and psychiatric and rehabilitation units in acute-care hospitals) that were excluded from the inpatient acute-care PPS. These classes of hospitals and cancer hospitals, which were added to the category of, excluded hospitals beginning in fiscal year 1990, under section 6004 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1989, continued to be paid for under TEFRA. The exemption of these facilities from the PPS was intended to be a temporary measure, pending the development of more appropriate systems to pay these providers under a PPS. 

Section 123 of Public Law 106-113, the Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (BBRA), requires the establishment and implementation of a prospective payment system (PPS) for long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) by October 1, 2002. Section 307(b) of Public Law 106-554, the Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA), authorized the Secretary to examine and evaluate a number of adjustment factors for inclusion in the LTCH PPS. Congressional intent regarding a timely implementation of the LTCH PPS is reflected in the statutory establishment of a default model under which LTCHs will receive Medicare payments for services furnished on or after October 1, 2002.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 123 of Public Law 106-113, the BBRA, requires that the Secretary develops and implements the PPS for LTCHs by October 1, 2002. Section 307(b) of Public Law 106-554 confers broad authority on the Secretary to determine whether and which payment adjustments should be included in the system.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[None.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Section 123(a) of the BBRA requires that the PPS for LTCH maintain budget neutrality. Payment will be estimated using the excluded hospitals' market basket update. The ability to pay for long-term care prospectively at LTCHs will have a direct, positive impact on the Medicare system by controlling the increase in costs for services that these hospitals provide. Although some hospitals will benefit more than others during the first year of the PPS due to variations in individual case mix indices, we anticipate that the system to "self-correct" within two years, because the more accurate coding and data-reporting required by a PPS will affect payment rates. Operating under a PPS will also have a beneficial impact on the efficient management and planning capability of individual LTCHs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Failure to develop and implement the PPS for LTCHs by October 1, 2002 would place us in violation of the BBRA and BIPA. Moreover, failure to meet the deadlines imposed by the notice and comment rulemaking process (citation) would make it impossible to comply with statutory requirements for implementation.]]></RISKS>

This section gives the Secretary broad authority to establish performance-related standards for OPOs. Under this authority, the Secretary established conditions for coverage for OPOs at 42 CFR 486.301, et seq. Section 1138(b) of the Act specifies that an OPO must be certified or rectified by the Secretary as meeting the standards to be a qualified OPO as described in section 371(b) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act.  The PHS Act requirements were established by the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 and include provisions for OPO board membership, staffing, agreements with hospitals, and membership in the OPTN. The Organ Procurement Organization Certification Act of 2000 (section 701 of Pub. L. 106-505, 42 U.S.C. section 273(b)(1)(D)) amended section 371(b) of the PHS Act to require CMS to increase the certification cycle for OPOs from two years to four years and promulgate new performance standards for OPOs.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Since January 1, 1992, Medicare has paid for physicians' services under section 1848 of the Social Security Act (the Act), "Payment for Physicians' Services." This section provides for three major elements: 1) a fee schedule for the payment of physicians' services; 2) a sustainable growth rate for the rates of increase in Medicare expenditures for physicians' services; and 3) limits on the amounts that nonparticipating physicians can charge beneficiaries. The Act requires that payments under the fee schedule be based on national uniform relative value units (RVUs) based on the resources used in furnishing a service. Section 1848(c) of the Act requires that national RVUs be established for physician work, practice expense, and malpractice expense.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 6102 of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-239) amended the Act by adding section 1848, "Payment for Physicians' Services" that requires Medicare to pay for physicians' services under a fee schedule. Section 4644 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-33) amended section 1848(b)(1) of the Act by requiring that we publish fee schedules that establish payment amount of all physicians' services before November 1 of the preceding year, each year.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[None.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The statute requires that annual adjustments to physician fee schedule RVUs not cause annual payments to differ by more than $20 million from what they would have been had the adjustments not been made. If this threshold is exceeded, we would make adjustments to the conversion factor (the dollar amount that converts relative values into a payment amount for a physician's service) to preserve budget neutrality.  

Because changes to RVUs must be budget neutral, if we increase a service's RVUs, we must reduce the overall multiplier (or the actual RVUs) that converts the RVUs to a dollar amount. Therefore, certain physician specialty groups may experience an increase in payment and some may experience a decrease in payment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Balanced Budget Act (BBA) significantly changed the way we will pay for Medicare covered services furnished to a Medicare inpatient in a rehabilitation facility. The BBA requires payments to be based on the inpatient operating and capital costs of rehabilitation facilities and adjusted for: 1) case mix using patient classification groups; 2) area wages; 3) inflation; 4) outlier and special payments; and 5) other factors necessary to reflect variations in costs of treatment. Total payments made under the system to rehabilitation facilities during fiscal year 2002 are required to equal 100 percent of the estimated payments that would have been made under the current TEFRA payment system. Outlier payments in a fiscal year may not exceed five percent of the total projected payments for the fiscal year.

The BBA gives us considerable discretion in designing the prospective payment system. Payment rates must be based on the discharge. The case mix classification groups may be based on those factors as the Secretary deems appropriate such as impairment, age, related prior hospitalization, co-morbidities, and functional capability of the patient.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

We estimate that the inpatient rehabilitation facilities prospective payment system costs for FY 2003 will be $10 million. The FY 2003 estimated costs of $10 million are associated with the portion of inpatient rehabilitation facilities cost reporting periods between October 1, 2002, and September 30, 2003 using the FY 2002 rates. However, we have not completed our analysis, so we can not be specific about the expected full costs and benefits of the FY 2003 rates.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

We are proposing to revise the Medicare hospital inpatient prospective payment systems for operating and capital costs to: describe proposed changes to the amounts and factors used to determine the rates for Medicare hospital inpatient services for operating costs and capital-related costs. These changes would be applicable to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2002.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Currently, Medicare beneficiaries have limited opportunities to obtain discounts on prescription drugs, and lack information on how to pursue such opportunities that exist. The proposed rule would propose a program, among other things: (1) to educate Medicare beneficiaries about private market methods available for securing discounts on the purchase of prescription drugs; (2) to provide a mechanism for Medicare beneficiaries to gain access to the effective tools widely used in the private sector to receive lower priced, quality pharmaceuticals; (3) to endorse qualified private sector prescription drug discount card programs; and (4) to provide Medicare beneficiaries an opportunity to enroll in a prescription drug discount card program.

Because of the limited opportunities Medicare beneficiaries have to obtain discounts on prescription drugs, on July 12, 2001, President George W. Bush and Secretary Tommy Thompson announced an initiative to provide Medicare beneficiaries with a way to obtain a Medicare-endorsed prescription drug discount card and to educate them about such discount card programs. On September 11, 2001, a District Court judge preliminarily enjoined the Secretary from implementing that Medicare-Endorsed Prescription Drug Discount Card initiative, published in the Federal Register on July 18, 2001. The judge's order was based in part on a preliminary finding that the Secretary should have issued the initiative through notice and comment rulemaking. This proposed rule would open to public comment the discount card initiative as a whole, as well as the qualifications necessary for the Medicare endorsement.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[There are a number of legal authorities that support the Secretary's endorsement of available prescription drug discount programs, including 42 U.S.C. 1395b-3; 42 U.S.C. 1302 (authority to make and publish such rules and regulations as are necessary to the efficient administration of the functions charged under the Social Security Act); and 42 U.S.C. 1320b-10.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Rather than offering Medicare endorsement to entities that meet defined qualifications, the Secretary could perform a study of prescription drug discount cards currently available in the market and provide recommendations to Medicare beneficiaries regarding which prescription drug discount cards provide the highest-quality services.

The Secretary could also serve as a clearinghouse for currently available prescription drug discount card sponsors to provide information on their products. Such information could include information on enrollment fees, the names or types of drugs for which discounts are offered, the discounts available on such drugs, and the scope of discount cards' networks of pharmacies.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The benefits of this proposed initiative will be: (1) the education of Medicare beneficiaries about private market methods available for securing discounts on the purchase of prescription drugs, and (2) the provision of a mechanism for Medicare beneficiaries to gain access to the effective tools widely used by prescription benefit managers and by discount card programs to get lower drug prices and higher quality pharmaceutical care. The Department anticipates that, as a result of this proposed initiative, Medicare recipients could obtain prescription drugs they currently may be unable to afford and may, thus, remain healthier. The Department anticipates that this, in turn, may ultimately lead to cost-savings for Medicare.

The Department will incur some program costs associated with developing educational materials on discount programs and providing such information to Medicare beneficiaries, evaluating applicants, and assisting the start-up of a consortium of prescription drug programs to run the program. Applicants and entities offering endorsed prescription drug discount cards will incur certain costs, but such costs are voluntary since participation in the program is voluntary.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) (Pub. L. 104-191) creates a new part C, entitled "Administrative Simplification," to title XI of the Social Security Act. One of the standards for health identifiers that is mandated by part C is a standard unique health care provider identifier, to be used in the health care system. This regulation announces the adoption of the National Provider Identifier (NPI) as the standard unique health care provider identifier. It also provides information on how health care providers will be assigned NPIs and defines the requirements of health plans, health care providers, and health care clearinghouses with respect to obtaining and using this standard. Implementation of the NPI and the other Administrative Simplification standards will increase the efficiency of the processing of standard transactions within the health care system.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Currently, health plans assign identification numbers to their member health care providers. Different health plans assign different numbers to the same health care providers. The identifiers are frequently not standard within a health plan or across health plans. This results in health care providers having different identification numbers for different health programs, often having multiple billing numbers issued within a single health program. This complicates the health care providers' claims submissions and other transactions and increases the costs incurred by health care providers in conducting those transactions.

The Administrative Simplification provisions of HIPAA were designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care system by encouraging the development of a health information system through the establishment of the standard unique health care provider identifier and other standards and requirements to facilitate the electronic transmission of certain health information.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This regulation announces the NPI as the standard unique health care provider identifier. The NPI is a 10-position all numeric identifier, with a check-digit in the tenth position. There is no intelligence in the number. This design and our assignment strategy will allow more than 200 million NPIs to be issued. The NPI meets the principles established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for designation as a national standard. This final regulation defines "health care provider" in terms of the entities that will receive NPIs.

Health care providers will be enumerated by a federally directed registry (the enumeration contractor). The enumeration contractor will use the National Provider System (NPS) to uniquely identify a health care provider and issue it an NPI. The NPS will be developed by CMS. Health care providers must supply updates to their NPS data to the enumeration contractor within 30 days of the effective dates of the changes.

The NPS will establish the National Provider File (NPF), which will contain information collected from health care providers in order to assign them NPIs. The NPS will assign a single, unique NPI to a health care provider. Upon the dissolution of an organization health care provider or the death of a individual health care provider, the NPS will deactivate the NPI that had been issued to that health care provider and will not assign a deactivated NPI to any other health care provider.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Our analysis of the costs and savings of the HIPAA Administrative Simplification standards is an aggregate impact of all the standards. Assessing the impact of each standard independently would inflate the costs and would yield inaccurate results. While each individual standard is beneficial, the standards as a whole have a synergistic effect on savings. A difficulty in this analysis was the fact that we have no historical experience in assessing the costs and benefits of such a sweeping change. The costs of implementing the standards specified in HIPAA are primarily one-time or short-term costs related to conversion. These costs will be incurred during the first three  years of implementation. Benefits will accrue almost immediately, but will not exceed costs for health care providers until after the third year of implementation. After the third year, the benefits will continue to accrue into the fourth year and beyond. The impact analysis for the costs and benefits associated with all the Administrative Simplification standards indicates that the combined net savings for health plans and health care providers would amount to $1.5 billion dollars after five years.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule will formally establish the standard for the unique health care provider identifier and will communicate the requirements for health plans, health care providers, and health care clearinghouses in implementing this standard.

Failure to publish this rule would jeopardize the benefits of administrative simplification. Payers would continue to maintain their own system of enumerating providers, and providers would need to maintain systems to store the different identifiers. Additional costs would thus be incurred.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to adopt security standards that require reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to: 1) ensure the integrity and confidentiality of health information; 2) protect against any reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of the information; and 3) protect against unauthorized uses or disclosures of the information. This rule stipulates the requirements necessary to comply with the law.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Administrative Simplification provisions of HIPAA require the Secretary to establish standards for the security of health information use by health plans, health care clearing houses, and certain health care providers.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In the absence of Federal regulations, the security of health care information in electronic form would be left to the private sector to develop. It is believed that this course of action would result in an extremely uneven level of protection (ranging from none to excessive) for electronic health information pertaining to individuals and make it difficult, if not impossible, to provide for privacy of this information.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[As the effect of any one of the HIPAA standards is affected by the implementation of other standards, it is misleading to discuss the impact of one standard by itself. Therefore, an Impact Analysis on the total effect of all the standards was published in the proposed rule concerning the national provider identifier (HCFA-0045-P) which was published on May 7, 1998 (63 FR 25320). Security protection for health care information is not a "stand alone" type requirement. Appropriate security protections will be a business enabler, encouraging the growth and use of electronic data interchange. The synergistic effect of the employment of the recommended security practices, procedures and technologies will enhance all aspects of HIPAA's Administrative Simplification requirements.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The storage, handling and transmission of health information has long been a paper process. However, the transition from paper to electronic media has begun and is increasing at a rapid pace. This transition has brought on a significantly increased risk to the security and confidentiality of health information, particularly for information pertaining to individuals. This rule formally establishes a baseline set of requirements for security that must be adopted by health care providers, health plans and health care clearinghouses. Compliance with these requirements will greatly decrease risk to the security, integrity and confidentiality of health information.]]></RISKS>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[HHS examined several existing identifiers that might be adopted for the standard. In keeping with the requirements of HIPAA, because no standard setting organization had developed, adopted, or modified a standard for an employer identifier, HHS consulted with the National Uniform Billing Committee, the National Uniform Claim Committee, the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange and the American Dental Association in selecting this standard.

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Health Clinics: Amendments to Participation Requirements and Payment Provisions, and Establishment of a Quality Assessment and Improvement Program (CMS-1910-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the requirements for certification and payment for rural health clinics (RHCs), as required by section 4205 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA 1997). It includes new refinements of what constitutes a qualifying rural shortage area in which a Medicare RHC must be located; establish criteria for identifying RHCs essential to delivery of primary care services that can continue to be approved as Medicare RHCs in areas no longer designated as medically underserved; and include recent statutory provisions that provide a temporary waiver of certain nonphysician practitioner staffing requirements. It imposes payment limits on provider based RHCs, and would prohibit the use of RHC space or equipment, and other RHC resources by another Medicare entity. The rule also requires establishment of a quality assessment and performance improvement program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fee Schedule for Payment of Ambulance Services and Revisions to the Physician&apos;s Certification Requirements for Coverage of Nonemergency Ambulance Services (CMS-1002-FC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997 requires that the Secretary establish a fee schedule for ambulance services through negotiated rulemaking. The fee schedule was to be effective beginning with services furnished on or after January 1, 2000. However, other statutory obligations and the scope of systems changes required to implement the ambulance fee schedule were so numerous as to make it impossible for us to accomplish this concurrent with the critical work that we and our contractors had to perform to assure that our respective systems were compliant with the year 2000 requirements.

In the September 12, 2000 proposed rule, we indicated our intention to implement the fee schedule beginning January 1, 2001. However, although the proposed rule was largely based on an agreement reached as part of a negotiated rulemaking process with representatives of the ambulance industry and other interests, we received over 340 public comments. We did not have sufficient time to carefully consider all comments and publish a final rule in time to implement the fee schedule by January 1, 2001. This final rule establishes an implementation date of January 1, 2002. Our objective is to have the ambulance fee schedule become effective as soon as feasibly possible after the statutory date, in this case, April 1, 2002. 

In addition to setting the payment rates, the Secretary is to ensure that the aggregate amount of payment made for ambulance services in 2001 may not exceed the amount of payment that would have been made absent the fee schedule. This is a cap on payment, not a budget neutrality adjustment. Negotiations were conducted by a committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2). We used the services of an impartial conveyer to help identify interests that would be significantly affected by the proposed rule (including residents of rural areas) and the names of persons who were willing and qualified to represent those interests. The Negotiated Rulemaking Committee on the Medicare Ambulance Services Fee Schedule consisted of national representatives of interests that were likely to be significantly affected by the fee schedule. To the extent that this proposed rule accurately reflected the Committee Statement as signed on February 14, 2000, each member to the Committee agreed not to comment on those issues on which consensus was reached.

In our proposed rule (65 FR 55078), we discussed the negotiated rulemaking procedure used to formulate our policy for the ambulance fee schedule. We also proposed additions to part 414, based on recommendations of the Committee. We discussed operational and regional variations, cost of living differences, services furnished in rural areas and mileage. The structure of the fee schedule, the ambulance inflation factor and phase-in methodology were also covered.

In addition, we proposed changes not based on the negotiated rulemaking, on matters including coverage of ambulance services, physician certification requirements, payment during the first year, and billing method. We discussed local or State ordinances, mandatory assignment, and miscellaneous payment policies, including multiple patients, pronouncement of death, multiple arrivals, and BLS services furnished in an ALS vehicle.

We presented our methodology for determining the conversion factor (CF) and for implementing the fee schedule. We discussed expenditure control for ambulance services, adjustments to account for inflation and the medical conditions list.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[Failing to implement the Medicare ambulance fee schedule would perpetuate an inequitable payment system that sometimes overpays and other times underpays for this critical aspect of medical care. The current system also has unintentional incentives to provide inefficient ambulance services in some areas, and inadequate ambulance services in areas of low population.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule requires hospitals to develop and maintain a quality assessment and performance improvement (QAPI) program. The QAPI focuses the providers' efforts on the actual care delivered to patients, the performance of the hospital as an organization, and the impact of treatment furnished by the hospital on the health status of its patients. In addition, QAPI entails all activities required for measuring quality of care and maintaining it at acceptable levels. Performance improvement activities aim to improve overall performance assuming there is no permanent threshold for good performance. Under a performance improvement framework, hospitals will continuously study and improve the processes of healthcare and delivery of service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the Medicare regulations to clarify our interpretation of "without fault" as it applies to physician, provider, supplier, and beneficiary liability for overpayments. This definition would result in greater uniformity of determinations by carriers and intermediaries. Additionally, this rule would amend the Medicare regulations governing liability for overpayments to eliminate application of certain regulations of the Social Security Administration and to replace them with CMS regulations more specific to circumstances involving Medicare overpayments.]]></ABSTRACT>

Most of the current HHA conditions of participation have remained unchanged since home health services became a Medicare benefit in 1966. Some limited modifications have been made over the years to comply with legislative changes. As a result, most of the conditions of participation continue to be structure- and process-oriented.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish a requirement that all providers and suppliers (other than physicians who have entered into a private contract with a beneficiary) must complete an enrollment form, submit specified information to us, and periodically update and certify the accuracy of the enrollment information in order to receive and maintain billing privileges in the Medicare program. The information must clearly identify the provider or supplier and its place of business, provide documentation that it is qualified to perform the services for which it is billing, and assure that it is not currently excluded from the Medicare program. If we determine the information submitted is incomplete, invalid, or insufficient to meet Medicare requirements, we would reject, deny, inactivate, or revoke billing privileges.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Child Support and Health Insurance Coverage of Dependent Children (CMS-2081-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would require States to provide assurances that laws relating to medical child support have satisfactorily been implemented in accordance with the Social Security Act (the Act). This requirement would implement section 13623 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (Pub. L. 103-66), commonly cited as OBRA 1993. The medical child support laws that the States must have in effect are set forth in section 1908 of the Act. These laws would impose requirements on insurers, employers, and State Medicaid agencies that would result in greater enrollment opportunities for children, facilitate the filing of claims by custodial parents, and establish new payment disbursement criteria.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend current regulations to clarify our policies regarding the treatment of interest expense. The rule would require that, when only part of the interest on a loan is allowable, repayment would be made first to that portion of the loan on which expense is allowable. This rule would also clarify how this policy is to be applied in situations in which there are multiple loans, and one or more of the loans are not related to patient care. In addition, we would define the allowable costs associated with advance refunding of debt, and clarify the treatment of revenue and expenses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Coverage of Religious Non-Medical Health Care Institutions (CMS-1909-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 4454 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA 1997), which amended section 1861 of the Social Security Act (the Act) and added a new section 1821 to the Act. Section 4454 of BBA 1997 removed all references to Christian Science and Christian sanatoria from the Act and substituted religious nonmedical health care institutions in their place. This change permits any qualified religious, nonmedical, health care institution to apply for payment for furnishing nonmedical services under Medicare. Section 4454 also authorizes payment for such services as an option benefit under State Medicaid plans. The rule sets forth minimum requirements and conditions of participation to qualify as a religious nonmedical health care institution for purposes of receiving payment for services furnished under Medicare and Medicaid.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule would implement the requirements of the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA) (Pub. L. 105-277). The rule will provide protection to patients who are receiving benefits in connection with a mastectomy and who elect breast reconstruction. WHCRA provides coverage for all stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed; surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and coverage for prostheses and treatment of physical complications of a mastectomy, including lymphedema. Group health plans and health insurance issuers that offer medical and surgical benefits for mastectomies are subject to WHCRA's coverage requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Surety Bond Requirements for Home Health Agencies (HHAS)  (CMS-6001-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend our regulations to require an HHA surety bond of $50,000. We would remove the 15 percent provision based on concerns expressed by Congress, the home health industry, surety association representatives, and comments published in a report by the General Accounting Office. This rule would require that HHAs obtain a surety bond by October 1, 2000. Although the bond must be effective January 1, 1998, we are proposing not to hold sureties liable for excessive interim payments attributable to the implementation of the interim payment systems made between October 1, 1997 and September 30, 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Restraint and Seclusion in Residential Treatment Facilities Providing Inpatient Psychiatric Services to Individuals Under Age 21 (CMS-2065-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes a new condition of participation that psychiatric residential treatment facilities that are not hospitals must meet to provide, or to continue to provide, the Medicaid inpatient psychiatric services benefit to individuals under age 21. Specifically, this rule establishes standards for the use of restraint or seclusion that residential treatment facilities must have in place to protect the health and safety of residents. This new COP acknowledges a resident's right to be free from restraint or seclusion except in emergency safety situations. We also are requiring residential facilities to notify a resident and his or her parent or legal guardian of the facility's policy regarding the use of restraint or seclusion during an emergency safety situation that occurs while the resident is in the program. We believe these added requirements will provide minimum safeguards to protect residents against the inappropriate use of restraint or seclusion.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medicare Provider and Supplier Hearing Procedures (CMS-2093-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise current hearing regulations applicable to enforcement actions taken by CMS against Medicare providers and suppliers (and, in some cases, certain Medicaid providers) based on a lack of compliance with Federal certification requirements. Specifically, this rule would revise existing requirements governing the level of specificity that petitioners must include when seeking review of agency actions governed by these hearing regulations. Additionally, this rule would clarify the meaning of "good cause" as that term is used in the hearing regulations to judge whether petitioners may file requests for review after filing deadlines have passed. The rule would also require dismissal of petitions for review when a petitioner has failed to file a sufficiently detailed hearing request within the time allotted by the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rate of Reimbursement of Photocopy Expenses for Prospective Payment System Providers (CMS-3055-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would adjust the rate of reimbursement for photocopy expenses of Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS) providers of medical records requested by Utilization and Quality Control Peer Review Organizations.  

This rule is necessary due to changes in the inflation factor, salaries, and the cost of living. We would specify a provision for periodic review and adjustment of the per-page reimbursement cost to account for inflation and changes in technology. The methodology for calculating the per-page reimbursement rate would remain unchanged. 

We also propose to expand the scope of the regulation to encompass other providers subject to the Medicare PPS (for example, skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies), as well as hospitals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extended Medicaid for Certain Families Who Lose Medicaid Eligibility Because of Earned Income and the Residency of Minor Parents and Pregnancy (CMS 2026-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Medicaid regulations that specify eligibility groups and conditions of eligibility. It revises the provisions for extended Medicaid to families who lose Medicaid under section 1931 of the Social Security Act because of income from, or hours of, employment, or when the earned income disregards are lost.

This change codifies and interprets certain provisions of the Family Support Act of 1988, as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 and 1990, and the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medicaid Drugs Rebate Program (CMS-2046-FC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will incorporate section 4401 of OBRA '90 to add specific requirements for Medicaid payment for covered outpatient drugs. The requirements concern: denial of Federal financial participation unless rebate agreements and drug use review are in effect; prohibiting some State plan drug access limitations for drugs covered under a rebate agreement; and the content of the rebate agreements. (The drug rebate agreement was previously published in the Federal Register on February 21, 1991 (56 FR 7049)). This rule will reflect statutory revisions mandated by the Veteran's Health Care Act of 1992 and OBRA '93. Revision of the drug rebate dispute resolution process is part of the Department's regulatory reinvention initiative.]]></ABSTRACT>

It would add ERISA plans, service benefit plans, and health maintenance organizations to the definition of liable third parties.

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Enrollment of Medicaid Recipients Under Cost Effective Employer-Based Group Health Plans (CMS-2047-FC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends our regulations to incorporate a statutory action that States may require, as a condition of Medicaid eligibility, enrollment of certain Medicaid eligibles in employer-based group health plans determined cost-effective by States under guidelines approved by CMS. If this option is elected by the State, it also requires States to pay all premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and other cost-sharing obligations under these group health plans for services otherwise covered under the approved Medicaid State plans. In addition, this rule provides for Medicaid payment of premiums for certain individuals who are entitled to elect continuation coverage provided for in the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), Public Law 99-272, under a group health plan provided by an employer with 75 or more employees. 

This rule conforms our regulations to sections 4402 and 4713 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 and section 4741 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Civil Money Penalties, Assessments, and Revised Sanction Authorities (CMS-6145-FC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule with comment period is a technical rule that amends our civil money penalty (CMP) authorities.  It adds CMP authorities that were enacted as part of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA) and delegated to us.  The rule delineates our authority to assess penalties for: failure to bill outpatient therapy services or comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation services (CORS) on an assignment-related basis, failure to bill ambulance services on an assignment-related basis, failure to provide an itemized statement for Medicare items and services to a Medicare beneficiary upon his/her request, and failure of physicians or nonphysician practitioners to provide diagnostic codes for items or services they furnish or failure to provide this information to the entity furnishing the item or service ordered by the practitioner.  As a result of the BBA's redesignation of a statutory paragraph, the rule also includes a technical change to an existing delegated authority.  Additionally, the rule includes a technical change that corrects the amount of the CMP in section 405.520(c) and also serves as a cross-reference to the requirements in other sections of the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Replacement of Reasonable Charge Methodology by Fee Schedules for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrients, Equipment, and Supplies (CMS-1010-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule implements fee schedules for payment of items and services, excluding ambulance services, still subject to the reasonable charge payment methodology.  The authority for establishing these fee schedules is provided by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which amended the Social Security Act at section 1842(s).  The Social Security Act specifies that statewide or other area wide fee schedules may be implemented for the following items and services still subject to the reasonable charge payment methodology: medical supplies; home dialysis supplies and equipment; therapeutic shoes; parenteral and enteral nutrients, equipment, and supplies; electromyogram devices; salivation devices; blood products; and transfusion medicine.  This final rule describes changes made to the proposed fee schedule payment methodology for these items and services and provides that the fee schedules for PEN and items and services are effective for all specified covered items and services furnished on or after January 1, 2002.  Fee schedules will not be implemented for electromyogram devices and salivation devices at this time since these items are not covered by Medicare.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to the Hospital Inpatients Prospective Payment System for Fiscal Year 2002 Rates (CMS-1158-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising the Medicare hospital inpatient prospective payment for operating costs to implement changes arising from our continuing experience with the system.  In addition, in the Addendum to this final rule, we described changes to the amounts and factors used to determine the rates for Medicare hospital inpatient services for operating costs and capita-related costs.  These changes apply to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2001.  We also set forth rate-of-increase limits and made changes to our policy for hospitals and hospital units excluded from the prospective payment systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Health Services Policies on Research Misconduct</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes substantial revisions to the existing regulations at 42 CFR part 50, subpart A, "Responsibilities of Awardee and Applicant Institutions for Dealing With and Reporting Possible Misconduct in Science," 54 FR 32449, August 8, 1989. The National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993 (NIH Act), Public Law 103-43, contains provisions that affect the current rule. For example, section 161 of the NIH Act established the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) as an independent entity reporting to the Secretary, and recent organizational changes have also affected the ORI's operations. In addition, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) published a governmentwide policy that applies to federally-funded research and proposals submitted to the Federal agencies for research funding, 65 FR 76260, December 6, 2000. The proposed revised regulation will implement this OSTP policy, which contains a definition of research misconduct and basic guidelines for the response of Federal agencies and research institutions to allegations of research misconduct. The current regulation, which implemented section 493(e) of the Public Health Service Act, would be deleted, and a new part 93, subparts A, B, C, D, and E would be added.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To implement section 493(e) of the Public Health Service Act (added by section 163 of the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993, Pub. L. 103-43), the Department is proposing to add a new part 94 to title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Under this proposed regulation, covered institutions must follow certain requirements for preventing and responding to occurrences of retaliation against whistleblowers. The purpose of this part is to protect: (1) persons who make a good faith allegation that a covered institution or member thereof engaged in, or failed to respond adequately to, an allegation of research misconduct; and (2) persons who cooperate in good faith with an investigation of research misconduct.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In compliance with the President's Memorandum of March 27, 1997, this interim final rule would amend the Federal Policy (common rule) for the Protection of Human Subjects to add a new section that applies only to classified research involving human subjects. The new section would modify the Federal Policy by: 1) prohibiting any executive branch agency from engaging in classified research involving human subjects unless the agency has adopted the Federal Policy and the interim final rule; 2) eliminating the availability of waiver of informed consent and expedited review for classified research involving human subjects; 3) enhancing the informed consent requirements and allowing for disclosure of classified information if necessary; and 4) changing the composition of the institutional review board (IRB) and establishing a process for individual IRB approvals of classified research.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Human Research Subjects</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is proposing to amend subpart B of its human subjects protections regulations published on January 17, 2001. Subpart B provides additional protections for pregnant women and human fetuses involved in research and pertain to human in vitro fertilization. A proposed rule was published on July 6, 2001, which would amend the January regulations by making the following three modifications:

   (1) Require a father's consent (when the father is readily available) for participating in research directed solely at the fetus and that does not affect a mother's health.

   (2) Add to the regulations the term "neonate" to describe an infant that has been delivered but for which viability determination has not yet been made.

   (3) Clarify that neonates of uncertain viability may be subjected to added risk only if the research is intended to enhance the particular neonate's probability of survival to the point of viability.

Public comment was accepted through September 4; the anticipated date of the final rule is November 14, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safeguarding Child Support and Expanded FPLS Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 made far-reaching amendments to title IV-D of the Social Security Act, which governs the child support enforcement program. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 and the Child Support Performance and Incentive Act of 1998 further amended title IV-D. A significant result of this legislation is an expansion in the scope of information available to State IV-D child support enforcement agencies. The legislation has rendered obsolete or inconsistent several regulations at 45 CFR chapter III, Office of Child Support Enforcement, including the regulations on the Federal Parent Locator Service, the State Parent Locator Services, offset of Federal payments for purposes of collecting child support, and safeguarding of information. This regulation would update various sections in 45 CFR chapter III to reflect the statutory changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Equal Access to Justice Act requires agencies to pay fees to parties prevailing against the Government in certain administrative proceedings. The Act has been amended several times since its 1980 enactment, most recently by the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996, which increased the amount of the hourly fees payable. The proposed rule revises 45 CFR part 13 (HHS' regulation implementing the Equal Access to Justice Act) to conform with statutory changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Department published these standards, entitled "Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information," (the Privacy Rule) as a final rule on December 28, 2000. The final rule was effective on April 14, 2001. The proposed rule would amend the Privacy Rule to, among other things, support the delivery of the highest quality of health care to patients and address concerns regarding the workability of the rule for entities subject to its requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

On July 6, 2001, in response to these and other comments, the Department issued guidance to address some of the misunderstandings regarding the rule, and to provide clarifications on various provisions. The Department has preliminarily determined that some modifications to the Privacy Rule would be appropriate. Entities covered by the Privacy Rule have until April 14, 2003 to come into compliance (and until April 14, 2004 for small health plans). Timely action is needed so that covered entites can implement these modifications to meet these deadlines with minimal cost and disruption.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule with comment period will establish procedures for implementation of section 312 of the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994, Public Law 103-296. It amends existing prohibitions against "misuse of symbols, emblems, or names in reference to Social Security or Medicare." Section 312 also prohibits the "unauthorized reproduction, reprinting, or distribution for fee" of a "form, application, or other publication of the Social Security Administration or of the Department of Health and Human Services." It requires prior written authorization for any such activity in accordance with the Secretary's regulations. The Department plans to distinguish between forms and publications that potentially involve misuse in contrast to benign or desirable reproductions and distributions, and to provide pre-authorization for the latter. The rule will be developed in consultation with the Social Security Administration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes substantive changes and amendments to the governmentwide nonprocurement common rule for debarment and suspension and the governmentwide rule implementing the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988.  This rule is part of a common rule on debarment and suspension that would limit the mandatory lower tier application of an exclusion to the first procurement level under a nonprocurement covered transaction. Also, the proposed common rule on debarment and suspension would set the dollar threshold on prohibited lower-tier procurement transactions with excluded persons at $25,000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Single Family Mortgage Insurance; Treble Damages for Failure to Engage in Loss Mitigation Activities (FR-4553)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement section 601(f) of the fiscal year 1999 HUD Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 105-276, approved October 21, 1998). Section 601(f) amends the National Housing Act, which establishes the basic framework for HUD's single family mortgage insurance programs. Specifically, section 601(f) amends section 230 of the National Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 1715u) (entitled Authority to Assist Mortgagors in Default) to provide that, upon default of an insured single family mortgage, lenders must engage in loss mitigation activities for the purpose of providing an alternative to foreclosure. Further, section 601(f) amends section 536 of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1735f-14) (entitled Civil Money Penalties Against Mortgagees, Lenders, and Other Participants in FHA Programs) to provide for the imposition of treble civil money penalties on lenders that fail to engage in loss mitigation activities, as required under amended section 230.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board), of which HUD is a voting member, is revising and updating its accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA). The guidelines cover new construction and alterations and serve as the basis for enforceable standards issued by other Federal agencies, including HUD. HUD, as one of the four standard setting agencies, must adopt standards that are equivalent to or stricter than those guidelines issued by the Access Board. Thus, HUD must both update its regulations for the ABA at 24 CFR 40 and 41, but must also update/replace its Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) with standards equivalent to or stricter than the Access Board's guidelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to Title VI, and it added a definition of "program or activity" to Section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act.

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF); Conforming changes to Annual Income Requirements for HUD&apos;s Public Housing and Section 8 Assistance Programs (FR-4635)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule updates and clarifies HUD's annual income requirements for its public housing and Section 8 assistance programs.  Specifically, this rule clarifies that annual income includes payments under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, but only to the extent such payments qualify as "assistance" under the TANF program regulations issued by the Department of Health and Human Services and are not otherwise excluded under HUD's regulation.  The clarifications will make the annual income requirements easier to understand for both program participants and public housing agencies.  These changes will also ensure greater conformity between HUD's annual income requirements and the TANF program regulations.  The final rule follows publication of an April 20, 2001 proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to HUD&apos;s Civil Money Penalty Regulations (FR-4399)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (Title V of the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998; Pub. L. 105-65, approved October 27, 1997) (the Act) made several amendments to strengthen HUD's enforcement authority. This rule addresses those amendments that require rulemaking for implementation, as follows. The Act expands the list of persons and types of violations subject to a civil money penalty under HUD's multifamily insured housing programs. The Act also amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 (the statutory authority for HUD's public and assisted housing programs) to provide for the imposition of civil money penalties for noncompliance with Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment contracts. In accordance with the Act, HUD is implementing these statutory amendments through issuance of this rule. The rule would incorporate these amendments in HUD's civil money penalty regulations located at 24 CFR part 30.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule follows the interim final rule that implemented HUD's new fair market rent (FMR) policy. The new FMR policy targets relief to areas where higher FMRs are needed to help families, assisted under HUD's Housing Choice Voucher Program as well as other HUD programs, find and lease decent and affordable housing. The new FMR policy increases FMRs needed to promote residential choice, help families move closer to areas of job growth, and deconcentrate poverty. The increased FMR applies to all the HUD programs that use FMRs in that metropolitan area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>The Secretary of HUD&apos;s Regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; Prohibiting the Purchase of Certain Loans With High Costs and/or Predatory Features (FR-4614)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A report issued in June 2000 by HUD and the Department of Treasury entitled "Curbing Predatory Home Mortgage Lending" noted that by providing a source of funding, entities that purchase or securitize loans with high cost and/or predatory features are, knowingly or unknowingly, supporting the activities of predatory loan originators. The report recommended regulatory restrictions that would prohibit the two Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, from purchasing certain types of loans with high costs and/or predatory features altogether. Through this rulemaking, HUD will establish regulatory restrictions, consistent with the GSEs? voluntary restrictions, that will prohibit the GSEs from purchasing certain loans with high costs and/or predatory features.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FHA Accelerated Claim Disposition Demonstration Program (FR-4691)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice announces HUD's proposal to establish the Accelerated Claim Disposition (ACD) Demonstration and solicits public comment on this proposal. The Demonstration would implement amendments made by section 601 of the fiscal year 1999 Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act to section 204 of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1710).  These changes are designed to increase the effectiveness of the methods used by HUD to pay insurance claims and disposing of HUD-acquired single family notes and their underlying properties. Under the ACD Demonstration, HUD would pay accelerated claims on certain defaulted FHA-insured mortgages.  HUD, in its sole discretion, will use one of two disposition methodologies: joint venture partnership and/or special servicing with whole loan or securitization. HUD will select approximately five to nine mortgagees to participate in the ACD Demonstration. The demonstration will have an initial duration of three years and will initially be limited to mortgage loans secured by properties located within the jurisdiction of HUD's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Home Ownership Center (HOC).  At the conclusion of the demonstration, HUD will assess its success and determine whether to implement the ACD process, on a permanent basis, throughout the country.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Single Family Mortgage Insurance; Nonprofit Placement and Removal Procedures (FR-4585)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes regulatory placement and removal procedures for HUD's Nonprofit Organization Roster. The Roster lists nonprofit organizations that HUD has determined are qualified to participate in certain specified Federal Housing Administration (FHA) single family activities. These activities may include acting as a mortgagor; purchasing HUD's Real Estate Owned Properties (HUD Homes) at a discount; providing secondary financing; and imposing legal restrictions on conveyance as part of affordable housing programs. Presently, there are no regulatory procedures for placing a nonprofit organization on, nor for removing a poorly performing nonprofit organization from, the Roster. The establishment of these placement and removal procedures will better protect participants in the FHA single family programs and safeguard FHA insurance funds.  This rule follows publication of a September 17, 2001 proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Appraiser Qualifications for Placement on FHA Single Family Appraiser Roster (FR-4620)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule makes several regulatory changes designed to strengthen the licensing and certification requirements for placement on the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Appraiser Roster.  First, the rule requires that appraisers on the Appraiser Roster must have professional credentials that are based on the minimum licensing/certification standards issued by the Appraiser Qualifications Board of the Appraisal Foundation.  The rule also clarifies that an appraiser may be removed from the Appraiser Roster if the appraiser loses his or her license or certification in any State due to disciplinary action, even if the appraiser continues to be licensed or certified in another State.  Finally, the rule provides that an appraiser who is licensed or certified in a single State and whose license or certification has expired, or has been revoked, suspended or surrendered as a result of a State disciplinary action, will be automatically suspended from the Appraiser Roster until HUD receives evidence demonstrating renewal or that the State-imposed sanction has been lifted.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[HUD's Appraiser Roster lists those appraisers who are eligible to perform FHA single family appraisals.  HUD maintains the Appraiser Roster to provide a means by which HUD can monitor the quality of appraisals performed on single family homes financed through the FHA single family programs and to ensure that appraisers performing FHA appraisals meet high competency standards.  The Appraiser Roster is an important part of the FHA Single Family Mortgage Insurance program because accurate appraisals are vital to the success of the program and HUD's ability to protect the FHA Insurance Fund.  The changes made by this final rule are necessary to ensure that homebuyers seeking FHA-insured mortgages receive accurate and complete appraisals of the homes they seek to purchase.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The National Housing Act and HUD's authority under the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act authorize HUD to provide a home financing system through the insurance of mortgages that would maintain and expand homeownership opportunities, particularly to first-time homebuyers and low-income families.  This authority includes the regulation of appraisers participating in the FHA single family mortgage insurance programs.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[HUD has established codified placement and removal procedures for the FHA Appraiser Roster.  The changes made by this final rule would modify these requirements and, therefore, must also be promulgated through regulation.  Furthermore, nonregulatory alternatives (such as promulgation through mortgagee letter) would not be binding upon appraisers.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rulemaking will strengthen the FHA Appraiser Roster licensing and certification requirements.  The anticipated benefit is that the rule will enhance the accuracy and integrity of FHA appraisals, thereby reducing opportunities for fraud and predatory lending abuses conducted with the collusion of unscrupulous appraisers, such as property flipping.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would make several amendments to HUD's regulations for the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Credit Watch/Termination Initiative.  Under the Credit Watch/Termination Initiative, HUD identifies mortgagees with unsatisfactory performance levels and takes ameliorative action at an early stage. The proposed rule would provide that HUD will no longer provide mortgagees with written notification of Credit Watch status. Rather, mortgagees will be responsible for using HUD's Electronic Neighborhood Watch System to monitor their performance. Among other changes, the rule would also prohibit a mortgagee that has received a notice of proposed termination of its origination approval agreement from establishing a new branch for the origination of FHA-insured mortgages in the lending area covered by the proposed termination.   The rule also would establish that the default and claim thresholds underlying the Credit Watch/Termination Initiative apply to both underwriting and originating mortgagees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Single Family Mortgage Insurance; Section 203(k) Consultant Roster Procedures (FR-4592)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes placement and removal procedures for HUD's list of qualified consultants under the Section 203(k) Rehabilitation Loan Insurance program. The 203(k) Program is HUD's primary program for the rehabilitation and repair of single family properties. A 203(k) lender may select a qualified independent consultant, who is an expert in the field of home inspection and construction, to perform various tasks required for the rehabilitation of the property. Presently, there are no regulatory procedures for placing a consultant on, nor for removing a poorly performing consultant from, the list. The establishment of these placement and removal procedures will better protect 203(k) borrowers and lenders and safeguard Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insurance funds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule addresses property "flipping," the practice whereby a property recently acquired is resold for a considerable profit with an artificially inflated value, often abetted by a lender's collusion with the appraiser.  Specifically, the proposed rule would establish certain new requirements regarding the eligibility of properties for FHA mortgage insurance.  The regulatory amendments made by this rule will protect FHA borrowers from becoming unwitting victims of property flipping.  Further, the proposed changes comply with congressional mandates to maintain the FHA Insurance Fund in a sound actuarial manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Limit on FHA Single Family Loan Fees (FR-4700)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would implement one of several new HUD initiatives to combat predatory lending in the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) single family mortgage insurance programs.  The proposed rule would cap the total amount of charges and fees that may  be charged on FHA-insured single family mortgages.  This maximum amount would vary depending on the original principal amount of the mortgage.  If the original principal amount of the mortgage is $20,000 or less, the total allowable charges and fees may not exceed 6 percent of the original principal amount or $1,000, whichever is the greater.  If the original principal amount of the mortgage is greater than $20,000, the total allowable charges and fees may not exceed 5 percent of the original principal amount.  The cap would not include legitimate fees paid to service providers (such as settlement attorneys, property inspectors, appraisers, credit reporting agencies and title insurers), reasonable and customary discount points, and prepaid expenses (including escrows for taxes and insurance).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tenant Participation in State-Financed, HUD-Assisted Housing Developments (FR-4611)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD's current regulations protecting the statutory right of tenants in HUD-assisted and insured multifamily housing developments to organize and participate in the operation of the development do not currently cover State-financed housing developments that receive assistance under certain HUD programs. However, the statutory right of tenants to organize includes those State-financed housing developments. This rule will extend the protection of tenant organization to include State-financed developments assisted under certain HUD programs. 

This rule also makes a minor technical correction to a citation in the existing tenant participation regulation. Section 245.135(a)(3) of the rule intended to cross-reference 24 CFR part 24, subpart G; the CFR part was omitted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Delegation of Insuring Authority to Direct Endorsement Mortgagees (FR-4169)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would make final the interim rule that implemented the Lender Insurance program, which reflects the Secretary's new authority to delegate the issuance of Mortgage Insurance Certificates (MICs) to mortgagees that are approved under the Direct Endorsement program. This rule provides that eligible mortgagees that participate in the Lender Insurance program will be responsible for conducting a pre-endorsement review during the origination of their single family mortgage loans and they will be responsible for endorsing the mortgages for insurance. HUD intends that delegating this insurance authority through the Lender program will be consistent with HUD's efforts to reinvent the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) by creating a more efficient and less burdensome process for providing single family mortgage insurance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends HUD's regulations for the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Program to implement the amendments made by section 201(a) of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000. The HECM Program enables older homeowners to withdraw some of the equity in their homes in the form of payments for life, a fixed term, or at intervals through a line of credit. Section 201(a) authorizes HUD to offer mortgage insurance for refinancing of existing HECMs, and provides consumer safeguards for such refinancings. This rule follows publication of a June 5, 2001 proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mortgage Insurance Premiums in Multifamily Housing Programs (FR-4679)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the regulations for HUD's multifamily mortgage insurance programs by revising 24 CFR part 207 to permit the Secretary to set mortgage insurance premiums (MIPs) at any rate within his statutory authority, rather than setting specific MIP rates by regulation.  Under this rule, HUD will be able to set mortgage insurance premiums at any rate between one-fourth and one percent of the outstanding principal balance of the insured loan.  For several insured housing programs, this underwriting change will eliminate the need for positive credit subsidy.  Promulgation of this rule will allow HUD to avoid a shutdown of these mortgage insurance programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

Final part 402 will set forth the regulations governing the renewal of expiring Section 8 project-based assistance contracts, whether the projects rents are above or below market, except for renewals made as part of a Mark-to-Market Restructuring Plan under part 401.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mortgage Insurance for the Refinancing of Existing Debt of Existing Hospitals (FR-4618)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule implements Section 223(f) of the National Housing Act, which authorizes the Secretary of HUD to insure mortgages executed in connection with refinancing the debt of existing multifamily properties and health care facilities.  This interim rule implements this authority with respect to acute care hospitals.  The purpose of the Section 223(f) program is to provide hospitals the opportunity to refinance their long-term debt so that the hospitals can reduce their annual debt service and thus improve their financial viability.  This in turn will further the congressional policy of assisting urgently needed hospitals that treat and care for persons who are acutely ill or injured and who otherwise require medical care and related services customarily furnished only by hospitals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 236(g) of the National Housing Act, as amended most recently by section 216 of HUD's FY 2001 Appropriations Act and section 816 of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000, permits owners of multifamily rental projects with section 236 Interest Reduction Payments (IRP) contracts to retain some or all of their excess rental charges for project use if authorized by HUD, and to retain and use some or all of the excess rental charges for non-project use if certain statutory conditions are met and if authorized by HUD. HUD's regulations on application of excess rental charges are outdated, do not reflect statutory amendments after 1995, and do not permit owners to retain excess rental charges. The rule would update the regulation to reflect statutory changes and HUD's manner of implementing those changes to date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Credit Watch Initiative--Limitation on Opening New Branches in Lending Area for Lenders in Receipt of Proposed Termination of Origination Approval Agreement (FR-4605)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule prohibits a mortgagee that has received a notice of proposed termination of its origination approval agreement from establishing a new branch or branches in the lending area covered by the proposed termination. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that mortgagees that are not performing satisfactorily in a specified geographic areas do not circumvent HUD's Credit Watch program by establishing a new branch in that same area. Additionally, this rule amends the default and claim rate determinations to allow HUD to take action first and only (if HUD so desires) against mortgagees with default and claim rates higher than those currently established in the regulation. This change will allow HUD to focus resources, that are limited from time to time, on those mortgagees that have excessively high default and claim rates and not be required to also focus its resources on those mortgagees with rates that barely exceed the thresholds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ginnie Mae MBS Program: Payments to Security Holders (FR 4629)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Government National Mortgage Association (the "Association" or "Ginnie Mae") is proposing regulations that will govern payments on Ginnie Mae I Modified Pass-Through Securities ("Ginnie Mae I MBS") registered in the name of a securities depository intermediary (a "Depository").  The proposed rule would require that payments on Ginnie Mae I MBS due to Depositories be made in immediately available funds and would supersede any current provisions allowing those payments to be made by check.  Payments to other security holders may be made by check or other means provided the check is received by the security holder not later than the 15th day of each month.  The regulation would also eliminate any requirement that a physical certificate be maintained by a Depository.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>CDBG Brownfields/Slum/Blight (FR-4699)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will improve the ability of entitlement communities and States' grant recipients to use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for brownfields activities.  The rule will clarify the eligibility of activities involving the cleanup and development of environmentally contaminated properties under section 105(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended.  The rule also will increase CDBG recipients' flexibility to undertake activities meeting the national objective of preventing or eliminating slums or blighting conditions.  The criteria for meeting the slum/blight national objective will be revised to specifically recognize economic obsolescence of buildings and the presence of environmental contaminants as blighting influences on an area or property.  This rule will further clarify the list of activities that may be undertaken to address the slum/blight national objective criteria on a spot basis.  Finally, this rule makes corresponding changes in the eligibility regulations governing the Section 108 Loan Guarantee component of the CDBG program.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Current CDBG regulations concerning the slum/blight national objective only recognize the presence of physically deteriorated buildings or public improvements as blighting influences on an area or property.  Professional practice and thinking in the community development field is evolving toward a more encompassing view of the factors that influence urban decay.  Failure to update and streamline CDBG program rules would hinder grantees' efforts to redevelop underutilized properties and improve physical conditions in neighborhoods.  In the FY 1999 HUD Appropriations Act (Public Law 105-276), Congress included language clarifying the eligibility of activities to clean up and develop environmentally contaminated properties; this rule will revise the eligible activities discussion in the CDBG regulations to reflect this statutory language.  In addition, the rule will respond to a HUD OIG audit recommendation by adding clarifying language regarding activities that may be undertaken to address the slum/blight national objective on a spot basis.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under 42 U.S.C. 3535(d), the Department may make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out its functions, powers, and duties.  The Department's regulations governing the Community Development Block Grant program are found at 24 CFR part 570, and are promulgated pursuant to the statutory authority to administer the program vested by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Department has considered a number of options regarding the regulatory approach to take in issuing this rule; the Department has commissioned a number of independent studies on the use of CDBG funds to remediate and develop brownfields, and has consulted with practitioners in the community development and brownfields professional fields.  In 1994, the Department sought comment from the public on how to proceed with such a rule.  The Department plans to pursue a rule that provides as much flexibility as possible to grantees in determining what types of remediation/development activities may be undertaken.  The Department has also considered the "no rule" option; however, grantees and other interested parties continue to voice support for issuance of such a rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Costs:  None.  The rule simply adds flexibility to grantees in their choice of activities with which to assist with CDBG funding; no additional cost or burden is imposed on grantees that choose to take advantage of this flexibility.
	Benefits:  Grantees will gain the flexibility to use CDBG funds to assist in redeveloping a larger universe of properties whose conditions negatively influence the condition of the surrounding area.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule poses no threat to public safety, health or the environment.  Any cleanup of contaminated sites will be governed by existing Federal and State standards for environmental remediation.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fair Housing Act Regulation; Conforming Amendment; Update To Reflect Current Edition of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) (FR-4554)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subpart D of HUD's Fair Housing Act regulations (24 CFR part 100), which address the accessibility requirements of the Fair Housing Act, has not been updated since 1991. These regulations reference compliance with the building standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), but the reference to the ANSI edition of 1986 has long been superseded by two more recent editions of 1992 and 1998. Although parties subject to the Fair Housing Act regulations may continue to refer to the 1986 edition of ANSI, the regulations need to be updated to also offer compliance with the 1992 and 1998 editions as a safe harbor for compliance. This rule will update the regulations to provide that compliance with the appropriate requirements of the 1986, 1992 or 1998 editions of ANSI A117.1 suffices to satisfy the accessibility requirements of the Fair Housing Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

As  most PHAS Indicators have been in an advisory status since its inception, the Department believes that the entire PHAS system needs to be reevaluated and modified.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Secretary of HUD is directed under section 6(j) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.) to develop and publish in the Federal Register indicators to assess the management performance of public housing agencies and resident management corporations.  Such indicators shall enable the Secretary to evaluate the performance of public housing agencies and resident management corporations in all major areas of management operations.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Housing Agency Plans: Deconcentration - Amendment to Established Income Range&quot; Definition (FR-4677)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend the deconcentration component of HUD's Public Housing Agency Plans regulations to revise the definition of Established Income Range (EIR) to include within the EIR those developments in which the average income level is at or below 30 percent of the area median income, and therefore ensure that such developments cannot be categorized as having average income "above" the Established Income Range. An income level that is at or below 30 percent of the area median income is defined as "extremely low income" in HUD's regulations.  HUD believes that developments with an average family income at or below 30 percent of the area median income should not be categorized as higher income developments for purposes of income mixing because efforts to place lower income families into these developments would not result in income deconcentration as contemplated by the statute. This rule follows publication of an August 15, 2001 proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule will complement the rule for the Public Housing Capital Fund Program formula allocation funding system published on March 16, 2000 (65 FR 14422).  This rule will implement the regulatory framework for the Capital Fund Program that will govern the use of the assistance made available through the Capital Fund formula. The new rule at part 905 will replace and remove several other rules that currently govern a PHA?s use of HUD assistance including part 941 - Public Housing Development and part 968 - Public Housing Modernization.  This rule will continue and expand the streamlining of procedures and requirements initiated under the Comprehensive Grant and Comprehensive Improvement programs at part 968.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>HUD Policy for the Administration of HUD Programs on Indian Reservations and Other Indian Areas (FR-4580)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice sets forth HUD's policy for ensuring regular and meaningful consultation and collaboration with Indian tribal governments in the administration of HUD programs on Indian reservations and other Indian areas. The notice implements Executive Order 13084, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, issued on May 14, 1998 (63 FR 27655, May 19, 1998). In formulating policies that significantly or uniquely affect Indian tribal governments, HUD will adhere to the principles of respect for Indian tribal self-government, sovereignty, tribal legal rights, and the responsibilities that arise from the legal relationship that exists between the Federal Government and Indian tribal governments. As provided in the notice, HUD will make all reasonable efforts to take into consideration and apply these principles when policy decisions are made affecting Native American communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will follow publication of a March 29, 2001 interim rule that governs the determination of funding distribution to public housing agencies under the Operating Fund and will reflect the results of a Congressionally mandated cost study.  The Conference Report to HUD's FY 2000 Appropriations Act (Pub.L. 106-74, approved October 20, 1999) directs HUD to contract with the Harvard University Graduate School of Design to conduct a study of the cost incurred in operating well-fund public housing and provides the results to the negotiated rulemaking committee and the appropriate congressional committees).  As portions of the study are completed, HUD is meeting with representatives of the negotiated rulemaking committee that helped HUD develop the Operating Fund proposed rule, as well as other interested parties.  These meetings have also been open to the public.  HUD will develop the final rule based on the results of the cost study, the comments on the interim rule and further input from the members of the Operating Fund proposed rule negotiating committee and other interested members of the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements a revision to the statute that authorizes HUD's public housing and Section 8 housing assistance programs. The revision requires Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to identify distressed public housing developments that must be converted to tenant-based assistance. If it would be more expensive to modernize and operate a distressed development for its remaining useful life than to provide tenant-based assistance to all residents, or the PHA cannot assure the long-term viability of a distressed development, then the PHA must develop and carry out a five-year plan to remove the development from its public housing inventory, and convert it to tenant-based assistance. This rule follows publication of a July 23, 1999 proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Voluntary Conversion of Developments From Public Housing Stock (FR-4476)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements a revision to the statute authorizing HUD's  public housing and Section 8 housing assistance programs. The revision authorizes Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to convert a development to tenant-based assistance by removing the development (or a portion of a development) from its public housing inventory and providing for relocation of the residents or provision of tenant-based assistance to them. This action is permitted only when that change would be cost effective, be beneficial to residents of the development and the surrounding area, and not have an adverse impact on the availability of affordable housing. This rule follows publication of a July 23, 1999 proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program; Expansion of Payment Standards Protection (FR-4586)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 21, 1999, HUD published a final rule implementing the statutory merger of the Section 8 tenant-based and certificate programs into the new Housing Choice Voucher program. This rule amends HUD's regulations governing this new merger program to expand the regulatory payment standard protection against subsidy reduction. The October 21, 1999 final rule limited payment standard protection to the first 24 months of the lease term. This rule provides that a family is not subject to a subsidy reduction until the second regular reexamination of family income and composition following the payment standard reduction. This protection extends for the duration of the lease term.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to SEMAP Lease-Up Indicator (FR-4604)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the way HUD measures and verifies performance under the lease-up indicator for the Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP). Specifically, the rule revises the lease-up standard to measure the number of units leased against the number of units reserved and under Annual Contributions Contract (ACC), instead of against the number of units budgeted. This revised standard is consistent with established HUD policy on voucher renewals and unit allocations as formulated during negotiated rulemaking pursuant to the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998. In addition, this rule also revises the SEMAP regulations to provide for automated signature of the required SEMAP certification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule implements the provisions contained in title V, subtitle B of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000.  These provisions add a new title VIII to the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996.  Under NAHASDA, HUD provides grants, loan guarantees, and technical assistance to Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages for the development and operation of low-income housing in Indian areas.  New title VIII expands the scope of NAHASDA to include housing assistance to Native Hawaiians, and establishes statutory requirements specific to Native Hawaiian NAHASDA assistance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Indian Housing Block Grant Allocation Formula (FR-4676)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would update the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) allocation formula. Under the IHBG Program, HUD makes assistance available to Indian tribes for the development, operation and management of Indian housing. The amount of assistance made available to each potential grant recipient is determined using a formula that was developed through negotiated rulemaking procedures. The IHBG program regulations require that the allocation formula be reviewed within five years after issuance.  This 5-year period would not close until March 2003. However, the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000 makes several statutory changes to the IHBG allocation formula that HUD has decided to implement through this rulemaking. Accordingly, HUD has taken the opportunity afforded by this rule to revisit the formula and make the more comprehensive changes contemplated by the 5-year review. The rule will be developed with the active participation of Indian tribal governments and using the procedures of the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disclaimers of Interest</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[BLM proposes to make two minor amendments to the recordable disclaimer regulations at 43 CFR 1864.1-1 and .1-3. Presently the regulations state that any present owner of record may file an application to have a disclaimer of interest issued. Neither FLPMA nor its implementing regulations define the term "present owner of record." Neither the Federal Courts nor the Interior Board of Land Appeals have defined or elaborated on the phrase. As such, BLM wishes to amend the regulations to eliminate the phrase. Such an amendment would prevent any legal challenge to BLM's interpretation of the phrase to include state applications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oil and Gas Leasing and Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will revise BLM's current Federal oil and gas leasing and operations regulations, except those concerning drainage (section 3100.2-2), combined hydrocarbon leasing (part 3140) and oil and gas leasing in the National Petroleum Reserve--Alaska (part 3130). The rule will: (1) Cite industry standards and incorporate them by reference rather than repeat those standards in the rule; (2) incorporate the requirements of the Onshore Oil and Gas Orders and national notices to lessees into the regulations to eliminate overlap with current regulations; (3) use performance standards in certain places instead of prescriptive requirements to allow more flexibility for operators and to protect the environment and Federal royalty interests; (4) increase certain bonding requirements and (5) eliminate redundancies, clarify procedures and regulatory requirements and streamline procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

BLM is the only Federal agency with authority to issue leases for publicly owned oil and gas resources.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The only alternative to the proposed regulations would be to continue to operate under the existing regulations. These regulations are not performance-based and are at times ambiguous and hard to understand. Further, the important information found in Onshore Operating Orders is published separately from the regulations and at irregular intervals.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[BLM anticipates the following benefits: (1) More clearly written rules will be better understood by both oil and gas lessees and operators and members of the general public; (2) performance standards, rather than prescriptive requirements, will allow lessees and operators and BLM greater flexibility to deal with unique geological or engineering circumstances within the standards set by the rule; and (3) streamlining and clarifying procedures will result in better customer service and decreased time and money for both BLM and the user public.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The public may misunderstand one or more performance standards. BLM will publish user guides that explain in detail the standards and will provide examples of how operators might meet specific standards.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would add a new subpart to BLM's oil and gas regulations implementing new statutory authority allowing operators to form units in the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska (NPRA). The rule would also:

(B) allow for suspension of operations and production for NPRA leases; 
(C) amend existing regulatory language to set the primary lease term for an NPRA lease at 10 years; and

It will also raise the nationwide acreage limitation on coal leases that one entity can hold from 100,000 to 150,000 acres.]]></ABSTRACT>

It will prevent conflicts in ownership of coalbed methane from impeding development of that resource by requiring pooling of development and payment of the proceeds into an escrow account until the ownership issue is resolved by a State entity of competent jurisdiction. The rule will also allow States to avoid the Federal regulations by promulgating their own regulations that substantially comply with Federal requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will implement the Forest Resources Conservation and Shortage Relief Act of 1990, as amended, by prohibiting, with certain exceptions, the exportation of unprocessed timber from Federal lands west of the 100th Meridian in the contiguous 48 States, and prohibiting direct and indirect substitution of non-Federal for Federal timber. It would allow exceptions for timber surplus to domestic needs, and set up sourcing areas for this timber. The rule will establish civil penalties and administrative remedies for violations of the Act or the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will describe how BLM will charge annual rents for fiber optic systems on rights-of-way on Federal and public lands. Fiber optic systems do not fit traditional concepts of rights-of-way and are not easily accommodated by BLM's current rent schedules. BLM is therefore seeking comments on how to charge rents for this emerging technology.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oil and Gas and Sulphur Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf--Safety Measures and Procedures for Pipeline  Modifications and Repairs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule will address problems that arise out of the fact that eventually all pipeline valves leak internally. This is due to abrasion and deposition of operational residues on valve seats. Internal valve leakage poses a potential safety problem to offshore workers at the time pipeline repairs are performed because hydrocarbons and pressure differentials in the lines can pose a significant hazard of fire and explosion. The rule will require that lessees and operators consider and submit in writing the measures they plan to take and the procedures they plan to follow to ensure the safety of company or contract workers and to prevent pollution before beginning a pipeline modification or repair, and it will amend section 250.1006(b)(1) by requiring that a blind flange be installed at the platform end of any pipeline taken out of service to prevent seepage into the line through leaking valves.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule streamlines appeals process to facilitate processing appeals within the 33-month deadline required by the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Simplification and Fairness Act of 1996 (RSFA). It also implements the requirements of OMB Circular A-25, which establishes guidelines for Federal agencies to assess fees to cover the costs of Government-provided services or benefits beyond those accruing to the general public. The proposed rule will: (1) Require the Appellant to file its Notice of Appeal and Statement of Reasons directly with the MMS Appeals Division and file copies with the office that issued the order; (2) Implement most of the recommendations made by the Royalty Policy Committee; (3) Eliminate the requirement for an MMS Field Report containing MMS?s arguments; (4) Clarify the right of the States and tribes to participate in the appeals process ; and (5) Provide for settlement negotiations as required in RSFA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dealing with Sustained Casing Pressure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rulemaking amends subpart E (Oil and Gas Well- Completion Operations) of MMS operating regulations. It describes procedures for dealing with sustained casing pressure in oil and gas wells on the Outer Continental Shelf. Currently, lessees must request a departure from MMS regulations to operate a well that has sustained casing pressure. When granting a departure, MMS requires that lessees perform periodic checks and evaluations to ensure that the pressure is not a danger to personnel, equipment, or the environment. This proposed rule will codify these procedures and ensure uniform regulatory practices among MMS regional offices. The proposed changes will also help ensure that lessees will continue to conduct operations in a safe manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to amend our regulations to better address floating offshore platforms that, until now, have not been expressly covered. This will require a complete rewrite of subpart I to include floating production systems. These systems are variously described as column-stabilized units; floating production, storage and offloading facilities; tension-leg platforms; spars, etc. We are also incorporating into our regulations a body of industry standards pertaining to floating production systems, and this will save the public the costs of developing Government standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MMS is proposing to modify requirements governing rights-of-use and easement and pipeline rights-of-way in the Outer Continental Shelf. These changes will increase rental rates for pipeline rights-of-way and establish rentals for rights-of-use and easement. The proposed rule will also allow MMS to charge additional payment when the right-of-use and easement or the pipeline right-of-way prevents MMS from making the area available to other companies for exploration and possible development and production. This change is needed because of requests by lessees and pipeline right-of-way holders to use large areas outside of the area covered by their lease and pipeline right-of-way for accessory structures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Suspension of Operations for Exploration Under Salt Sheets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MMS is proposing to modify requirements governing suspensions of operations for oil and gas leases in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). There are instances where oil and gas companies begin to conduct timely analysis of geophysical data early in the lease term; however, this data may be inconclusive because of problems caused by the existence of salt sheets. In such cases, the proposed rule will allow companies to apply for a suspension to avoid the possibility of having to drill a well before completing the necessary geophysical analysis. In return for the consideration for additional time to analyze geophysical data under the salt sheet, the lessee must show they have made and will continue to make substantial efforts and financial commitment in the processing and reprocessing of their geophysical data.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Current oil valuation regulations rely primarily on posted prices and prices under arm's-length sales to value oil that is not sold at arm's-length. Over time, posted prices have become increasingly suspect as a fair measure of market value. This rulemaking would modify valuation regulations to place substantial reliance on the higher of crude oil spot prices major portion prices, or gross proceeds, and eliminate any direct reliance on posted prices. This rulemaking would also add more certainty to valuation of oil produced from Indian leases.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The primary legal basis for this rulemaking is the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982, as amended, which defines the Secretary of the Interior's (1) authority to implement and maintain a royalty management system for oil and gas leases on Indian lands, and (2) trust responsibility to administer Indian oil and gas resources.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We considered a range of valuation alternatives such as making minor adjustments to the current gross proceeds valuation method, using futures prices, using index-based prices with fixed adjustments for production from specific geographic zones, relying on some type of field pricing other than posted prices, and taking oil in-kind. We chose the higher of the average of the high daily applicable spot prices for the month major portion prices in the field or area, or gross proceeds received by the lessee or its affiliate. We chose spot prices as one of the three value measures because (1) they represent actual trading activity in the market, (2) they mirror New York Mercantile Exchange futures prices, and (3) they permit use of an index price in proximity to the actual production whose value is being measured.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[We estimate compliance with this rulemaking would cost the oil and gas industry approximately $46,000 annually. Additional costs to industry and MMS would be up-front computer programming and other administrative costs associated with processing the new form. The benefits of this rulemaking would be an estimated $3.6 million increase in annual royalties collected on oil produced from Indian leases. Additional benefits would include simplification and increased certainty of oil pricing, reduced audit efforts, and reduced valuation determinations and associated litigation.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risk of not modifying current oil valuation regulations is that Indian recipients may not receive royalties based on the highest price paid or offered for the major portion of oil produced--a common requirement in most Indian leases. These modifications ensure that the Department fulfills its trust responsibilities for administering Indian oil and gas leases under governing mineral leasing laws, treaties, and lease terms.]]></RISKS>

The new layout of the rule follows the logical sequence of plugging a well, decommissioning the platform and pipeline, and clearing the waste site. The proposed rule also updates the requirements to reflect changes in technology. We have restructured the requirements to make the regulations easier to read and understand. The proposed technical changes will help ensure that lessees decommission operations safely and effectively.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deep Water Royalty Relief for Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leases Issued After 2000</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule explains who is eligible for relief, how they apply for relief, and the criteria they must meet to receive relief. The proposed rule makes a new class of leases, those sold after 2000 in the central and western Gulf of Mexico (GOM), eligible to apply for royalty suspensions to supplement any that may have been included in their original lease terms. Also, it updates certain requirements and authorizes royalty relief in special situations.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Because of the variation of geologic and economic circumstance standard leasing terms do not encourage development of all potential reserves in the deep water GOM. The Deep Water Royalty Relief Act (DWRRA)(Pub. L. 104-58) authorized the Minerals Management Service (MMS) to promote development of marginal reserves. The existing regulations at 30 CFR 203 give detailed instructions on how deep water leases issued before the DWRRA may apply and qualify for royalty suspension on a case-by-case basis. This proposed rule revises and extends these instructions to certain additional categories of OCS leases, especially those issued after 2000. Revisions to the existing instructions reflect experience with cases over the last 5 years. Also the proposed rule identifies circumstances when MMS may consider special royalty relief outside our established end-of-life and DWRR programs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The OCS Lands Act is the basis for our regulations on suspending or lowering royalties on producing OCS leases. The DWRRA is the basis for regulations to reduce or eliminate royalty on non-producing leases in the GOM west of 87 degrees, 30 minutes West longitude. It gives the Secretary of the Interior this authority to (1) promote development or increased production on producing and non-producing leases or (2) encourage production of marginal resources on producing and non-producing leases.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The specificity with which the current regulations were written was driven by the DWRRA to facilitate planning by potential applicants. Those regulations do not leave room for anything but a rulemaking fix. Otherwise, those new leases that legitimately need development assistance would be relegated to seeking relief under ad hoc special relief rules. Alternatively an extension of the DWRRA terms to fill a perceived gap may give future deep water lessees royalty-suspension terms that are not sufficiently responsive to current market conditions. Moreover, it is fairer to both applicants and taxpayers to establish clear and coherent rules by which individual leases can obtain the amount of royalty relief actually needed to induce development.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rule extends the benefit of discretionary royalty relief to certain OCS leases after November 2000 that qualify as marginally uneconomic. Lessees who choose to seek this discretionary royalty relief pay user fees that range from $12,000 to $49,000 per application, in addition to their internal costs of assembling the necessary data. Benefits from this rule come from production that otherwise would not occur or be deferred indefinitely. To date, one field qualifying for relief has gone into production and added 15 million barrels of oil equivalent to reserves in the GOM. Another on the verge of starting development would add 400 billion cubic feet of natural gas to reserves that otherwise would not be produced in the GOM.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risk of not modifying the discretionary royalty relief rule is that some marginal resources will be bypassed. Alternatively, royalty receipts could fall because overly generous relief will be given to many leases to avoid the loss in production by a few.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Responsibilities of Minerals Management Service include the collection of royalties, bonuses, rentals, and related revenues from Federal and Indian mineral leases. These monies are, for the most part, collected from the current designated payor on the lease. However, if MMS is unable to collect from the current payor, it must pursue collections from prior payor(s) the lessee, or an assignee of the lease. Existing regulations are unclear as to the responsibilities and liabilities of the parties involved. Therefore, MMS is amending its regulations to clarify payor, lessee, and assignee requirements and responsibilities for Indian mineral leases and Federal solid mineral and geothermal leases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would eliminate a redundant and burdensome definition of "Affected State" that applies only to subpart B the Oil and Gas Leasing Program. This would mean that the definition of "Affected State" in subpart A would apply to the entire part 256. This rule would eliminate the need for the Federal Government to involve certain unaffected coastal States in the complex, multi-step process of preparing a 5-year program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Specific allowance provisions in the January 1988 (53 FR 1230 January 15, 1988) valuation regulations provided that allowances that were in effect at the time these regulations became effective would be allowed to continue until the allowances terminate. The Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) ruled in 136 IBLA 203 (August 12, 1996) that the effect of this language was for such allowances to continue indefinitely. MMS proposes to amend the product valuation regulations to specify a termination date for any of these allowances not currently calculated under 30 CFR part 206.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Seizure and Forfeiture Procedures, 50 CFR Part 12</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service proposes to amend regulations in 50 CFR part 12 that establish procedures relating to property seized and administrative forfeiture under various laws enforced by the Service. This revision is intended to provide uniform guidance for the bonded release, appraisement, administrative proceeding petition for remission, and disposal of items subject to forfeiture. Also these revisions are intended to provide for greater consistency of Service seizure and forfeiture procedures with those of the U.S. Customs Service.  In August 2000, the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act became law.  CAFRA mandated many changes to 50 CFR 12 that are incorporated in this proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule will establish criteria that must be satisfied by State or tribal trapping and hunting programs to minimize the likelihood of the incidental take of lynx by trappers and hunters pursuing bobcat or other species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Tibetan Antelope</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We received a petition to list the Tibetan antelope as endangered.  We must determine if status review shows that the petitioned action is warranted.  If so, we will propose endangered status for the Tibetan antelope, or chiru (Pantholops hodgsoni). The antelope is a wild ungulate native to Tibet, Kashmir, and north-central China. It is threatened by illegal trade in its wool, known as shahtoosh, which is exceptionally fine. The wool and shawls made from it are in great demand on the black market, resulting in the slaughter of thousands of these animals annually. The species has experienced dramatic declines in recent years despite efforts by range countries to control poaching, as well as a prohibition on international commercial trade through listing in Appendix I of CITES.]]></ABSTRACT>

The population has declined to the current size of less than 150 individual plants at a single location in Tumwater Canyon, WA.  Threats include competition and shading from native trees and shrubs, encroachment onto the site by nonnative, noxious plant species, wildfire and fire suppression, activities associated with fire suppression, and low seedling establishment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We received a petition to reclassify a certain population of the straight-horned markhor from endangered to threatened.  We must determine if a status review shows that the petitioned action is warranted and if so, we will propose to change the classification of the straight-horned markhor population of the Torghar Hills region of Balochistan Province, Pakistan, from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.  The markhor is a species of wild goat that occurs in small, isolated populations in rugged, arid mountain habitats in Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.]]></ABSTRACT>

We propose substantial reorganization of the current regulations, combining 50 CFR 21.28 and 21.29 and reorganizing the topics in those sections.

The changes will make it easier to understand the requirements for falconry and the procedures for obtaining a falconry permit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Permits; Take of Migratory Birds by Federal Agencies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[According to a recent ruling of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Federal Agencies are subject to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and must have authorization under the MBTA to take migratory birds.  Our current regulations authorize issuance of permits to take migratory birds for activities such as scientific research, education, and depredation control.  For many other activities that result in take of migratory birds, no permits have been available. This rule would allow Federal activities to take migratory birds that are not covered by existing permit regulations, provided certain conditions are met, until more specific regulations can be developed.]]></ABSTRACT>

This program provides private landowners with cost-sharing and restoration expertise to restore fish and wildlife habitat.  The program does not acquire lands and is a voluntary incentive program.  The revisions update policy, incorporate Office of Inspector General recommendations, and clarify technical assistance and cost-sharing in light of changes in U.S. Department of Agriculture conservation programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Based upon a review of the species in response to a petition, we may propose to list the Beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) as endangered.  This species historically inhabited the Caspian, Black, Azor and Adriatic Seas, and all rivers flowing into them.  The Adriatic Sea population has been extirpated, and no wild Beluga sturgeon has been found in the Sea of Azor since the mid 1980's.  This species has declined due to fishing pressure.  This species is highly valued for its caviar and is subject to both legal and substantial levels of illegal fishing. The Beluga sturgeon has also been impacted by dam building and other forms of habitat modification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service proposes to make revisions to the Rights-of-Way General Regulations in 50 CFR 29 - Subpart B.  The revisions will correct the address of our Region 5 Office in 50 CFR 29.21-2(c)(5).  We will also implement section 1 of Public Law 101-475 by correcting the names of the House and Senate Committees we must notify upon receipt of an application for a right-of-way for an oil and gas pipeline that is 24 inches or more in diameter and again before granting right-of-way.  Finally, the proposed revised regulation will delete the reference to a 60-day waiting period after notification of our intent to grant the right-of-way. (The waiting period was repealed by Congress.)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service proposes to list the Buena Vista Lake shrew (Sorex ornatus relictus) as endangered under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 without critical habitat.  The Buena Vista Lake shrew is found in marshes and sloughs within a site formerly known as the Kern Lake Preserve, Kern County, California.  This subspecies may also occur in the Tulare Basin and at Kern National Wildlife Refuge, but its status is unknown.  The only known population occurs on privately owned land that currently has no Federal protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We were ordered by a court to reanalyze the information concerning the listing decision for the Sacramento splittail.  Therefore, we  have reopened the comment period for this issue.  The previous regulatory action that finalized the listing decision for the Sacramento splittail was assigned RIN 1018-AC26, and was completed with the publication of the final rule designating the Sacramento splittail as a threatened species, effective March 10, 1999 (64 FR 5963).  Since RIN 1018-AC26 has been completed, we are considering the reopening of the comment period on this issue to be a new regulatory action, which has been assigned this current RIN.]]></ABSTRACT>

Iguanas are released into the wild by their owners for various reasons. These iguanas may be carriers of Salmonella bacteria and could negatively impact native populations. A notice requesting information will be published so that data can be gathered as to the injurious nature of the iguanas.

        <RULE_TITLE>Taxonomic Change From Subspecies to Vertebrate Population Segment for the Virgin River Chub</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Recent taxonomic work concluded that specific rank is warranted for the Virgin River chub, a federally listed endangered species found in the Virgin River system of Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. Additionally, researchers concluded that the chub in the Muddy River of Nevada is conspecific with the Virgin River chub. Previously this distinctive population of the Virgin River chub, a category 2 candidate for Federal listing, was considered a separate, unnamed subspecies of roundtail chub, and was referred to as the Moapa roundtail chub. Because of this recent taxonomic work, the Service accepts that specific rank is warranted for the Virgin River chub and proposes to change the listing of the Virgin River chub in the Virgin River from a subspecies to a vertebrate population segment in the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. In addition, the Service initiates a status review of the Virgin River chub in the Muddy River to determine whether this vertebrate population warrants listing as a threatened or endangered species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Revision of Special Regulations for Gray Wolf</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 22, 1994, the Service published special rules to establish nonessential experimental populations of gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. The nonessential experimental population areas include all of Wyoming, most of Idaho, and much of central and southern Montana. This proposed revision is to amend a section of the special regulations so that it clearly applies within the Yellowstone nonessential experimental population area and the central Idaho nonessential experimental population area as described in 7(ii).]]></ABSTRACT>

Several facilities have been registered in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Our decision on whether to reclassify the species, only some of the populations, or to take no action at all, will be based upon a review of the population status and management, including the protected status of the species in the the range countries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service proposes to designate critical habitat for the Santa Ana sucker.  Remnant populations of the Santa Ana sucker occur in the headwaters of the San Gabriel River system, a lowland stretch of the Santa Ana River, and the lower reach of Big Tujunga Creek (a tributary of the Los Angeles River), in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties.  An introduced population also occurs in the Santa Clara River drainage system in Ventura and Los Angeles counties.  The Santa Clara population is not being listed, due to its introduced status.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose to designate 37 units along the Great Lakes shoreline of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York as critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, for the Great Lakes breeding population of the piping plover (Charadrius melodus). We propose to designate critical habitat on fewer than 305 km (189 mi) in 27 counties within these States. Within these areas, only the specific locations that have or could develop the physical and biological features required by piping plovers (primary constituent elements) would be considered critical habitat.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Permits; Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking To Develop Additional Permitting Regulations To Govern Take of Migratory Birds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, it is unlawful to take migratory birds protected by the statute except as permitted by regulations.  Our existing permit regulations focus on activities where the take of migratory birds is the purpose of the activity, such as collecting wild birds for purposes of scientific research or education.  A vast array of activities outside the scope of our existing permit regulations take or kill migratory birds.  We plan to publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule to authorize take by Federal agencies for activities not covered by our existing permit regulations, provided they comply with certain conditions, until we can develop new permit regulations.  We are evaluating the need to develop additional permit regulations to address similar activities by the private sector.  This notice would request comments from the public on this issue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Wild Bird Conservation Act was passed in 1992 and generally prohibits the import of live exotic birds listed in the appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).  However, the WBCA provides exemptions that allow imports of such birds for personal pets, scientific research, zoological breeding and display and cooperative breeding programs.  These exemptions were put into regulations in 1993.  They require rewriting into plain language as well as streamlining of requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This emergency interim rule finds that the M'Clintock Channel polar bear population no longer meets the import requirements of the Marine Mammal Protection Act and amends the regulations to reflect that bears sport hunted in this population after the 1999/2000 Canadian hunting season will no longer be eligible for import under the 1997 finding which approved this population for multiple harvest seasons.  In addition, the rule updates the regulations to reflect the new territory of Nunavut and notifies the public on the lifting by Canada of the harvest moratorium in the Viscount Melville Sound polar bear population.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Park Service (NPS) is proposing to amend its regulations concerning motor vehicle operation under the influence of alcohol within units of the NPS. Current NPS regulations prohibit operation with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.10 grams or more of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or 0.10 grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. On March 3, 1998, President Clinton directed the NPS to promulgate regulations adopting a stricter limit of 0.08 grams BAC within units of the NPS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 105-391 became effective on November 13, 1998. The new Act mandates revised procedures for issuing commercial use authorizations. Section 417 of Public Law 105-391 requires that the Secretary promulgate implementing regulations as soon as practicable after the effective date of the Act. Existing regulations governing commercial use within National Parks are not adequate to administer the provisions of the new statute and must be revised to reflect new requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Regulations of the National Park System; Canyonlands National Park Road Closure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In September 2000, the Tenth Circuit lifted the injunction that the U.S. District Court of Utah had placed to prevent vehicle access to a particular road in Canyonlands National Park. At the time of the Tenth Circuit's opinion, the road had been closed for two years. After the injunction was lifted, the NPS closed the road to study further the condition of the road and the benefits derived from discontinued use of the road. This rulemaking allows the road to remain closed while studies and monitoring continue until all litigation is resolved.]]></ABSTRACT>

It will also regulate the landing of aircraft. The rule will also seek consistency with regulation of the surrounding Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in order to pull together management of an ecosysytem that crosses jurisdictional boundaries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument; Special Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is an interim regulation to implement Presidential Proclamation No. 7932, which established the Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument. This regulation prohibits extractive uses, with some exceptions,and anchoring within the monument, and expands the boundaries of Buck Island Reef National Monument. The regulation also implements Presidential Proclamation No. 7399, which prohibits all extractive uses and boat anchoring, except in deep sand areas (all other anchoring is subject to permit) at Buck Island. Both proclamations require NPS to prepare management plans for each park within three years. We are soliciting comments on this interim rule and will take them into account in developing the final rule once we have completed the general management plans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will designate trail crossings of snowmobile trails at three locations along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. These trail crossings are part of a State-approved network of snowmobile routes that exist on adjacent State lands. These crossings existed prior to the NPS assuming management of the National Scenic Trail. Designating these crossings fulfills assurances made by the NPS at the time of land acquisition that establishment of the permanent linear trail corridor would not sever established snowmobile routes.]]></ABSTRACT>

This would bring OSM's regulations on EAPs into compliance with the Federal guidelines for dam safety and the Departmental Manual. It would ensure that EAPs are in place for all Class B and Class C hazard structures that may not necessarily be regulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration but for which OSM is responsible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Indian School Equalization Program - Provisions for Exceptional Children</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would change the current practice of identifying, screening, testing, and placement of students in special education based on funding, not need. The Secretary and BIA Office of Indian Education Programs have assured the Department of Education that they will revise the funding mechanism as soon as feasible to ensure that placements do not violate the requirement of 20 U.S.C. 1412(a)(5)(A). The authority and need for this rule is 25 U.S.C. 13; 25 U.S.C. 2008. Rulemaking is preferable because the current special education procedures must be changed to comply with the ?Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendment of 1997, Public Law 105-17.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Navajo Partitioned Lands Grazing Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations are necessary for implementation of the livestock and grazing control provisions of 25 USC 640(d). In 1982 the Federal District Court for Arizona abolished 25 CFR 153, Grazing Regulation for the Joint Use Administrative Area and ordered the Secretary to promulgate new regulations for the control of grazing and livestock for the former Joint Use Administrative Area. Due to a lack of tribal concurrence regulations were not promulgated for lands partitioned to the Navajo Tribe. Navajo tribal concurrence has been recently obtained; therefore, the BIA needs to move forward with publication of these regulations. Any cost associated with the implementation of these regulations will be assumed within the BIA annual budget. Cost associated with compliance of the provisions of these regulations will be borne by the Navajo Tribe or its members. There is no associated cost to the general public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Natural Resource Damage Assessments: Type B Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CERCLA and the Clean Water Act allow natural resource trustees to bring a claim against a potentially responsible party for resources that have been injured by a release of a hazardous substance. CERCLA requires that natural resource damage assessment regulations be promulgated and that the regulations be reviewed, and revised as appropriate, every two years. This rulemaking is the biennial review of the administrative process for conducting assessments as well as the so-called type B procedures for determining injury and damages through scientific and economic studies. This rulemaking will also address the calculation of lost non-use values of natural resources, in compliance with State of Ohio v. Department of the Interior, 880 F.2d 432 (D.C. Cir. 1989), which ordered the Department to allow for the assessment of all reliably calculated values lost as a result of a natural resource injury.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Statute 2477 Rights-of-Way</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would implement the Secretary of the Interior's June 1, 1993, recommendation to Congress that the Department promulgate regulations addressing rights-of-way pursuant to R.S. 2477 across lands now administered by the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. R.S. 2477--a provision adopted in 1866 that granted a right-of-way for the construction of highways across public land not reserved for public uses--was repealed in 1976 but valid existing rights-of-way were not terminated. This proposed rule is intended to clarify the meaning of the statute and provide a workable administrative process and standards for recognizing valid claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of Agencies To Receive and Investigate Reports Required Under the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 1998, Congress passed the Protection of Children from Sexual Predators Act of 1998 (PCSPA). The PCSPA requires providers of an electronic communication service or a remote computing service to the public, through a facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, to report incidents of child pornography as defined by sections 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, or 2260 of title 18, United States Code, to the appropriate Federal agency. In order to facilitate effective reporting, the PCSPA requires the Attorney General to "designate an agency" to receive and investigate such reports of child pornography. The proposed rule previously published set forth the Attorney General's proposed designations and certain other matters covered by the PCSPA's reporting requirements.

On November 29, 1999, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2000, Public Law 106-113, 113 Stat. 1501, Congress amended 42 U.S.C. 13032 to require providers to report such incidents to the Cyber Tipline at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which shall forward that report to a law enforcement agency or agencies designated by the Attorney General. A second proposed rule is being prepared for publication that will reflect the change in the Agency to receive the reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Claims Under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Amendments of 2000: Technical Amendments; Expansion of Coverage to Uranium Mill Workers and Ore Transporters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is amending existing regulations to implement the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Amendments of 2000, enacted on July 10, 2000.  The Department is issuing two related rulemakings under this RIN to implement the Act.  The first of the two related rulemakings is a final rule, technical in nature, providing conforming amendments (CIV 100). These technical revisions: (1) Expand the list of radiogenic and chronic diseases that are currently compensable for "downwinder" and "onsite participant" claimants; (2) lower the radiation exposure threshold for "uranium miner" claimants; (3) enlarge the number of uranium mining states where miners may be eligible for compensation; (4) include "aboveground" miners within the definition of "uranium miner"; (5) eliminate smoking distinctions for all claimants; (6) amend the list of geographical areas to provide additional radiation-affected areas for "downwinder" claimants; (7) modify the burden of proof for purposes of claims processing; (8) allow claimants who have previously been denied compensation to file up to three times; and (9) make other technical revisions consistent with the amended Act. 

The second related rulemaking under this RIN is a proposed rule (CIV 101) expanding compensation to two new claimant categories:  Uranium mill workers and individuals involved in the transport of uranium ore or vanadium-uranium ore.  These amendments: (1) Set forth eligibility criteria for the new claimant categories; (2) provide definitions explaining the types of mill-related and ore transporting employment that would be compensable under the Act; (3) describe the documentation that would be required to establish proof of employment in a uranium mill or as an ore transporter; (4) determine the medical documentation necessary to establish the existence of renal cancer and chronic renal disease; and (5) provide clarification of the attorney fee provision contained in Section 9 of the amended law.

On March 22, 1999, the Department published a final rule in the Federal Register, 64 FR 13686, amending its existing regulations to allow the use of pathology reports of tissue biopsies as evidence of disease; include "in situ" lung cancers under the definition of primary cancers of the lung; and to allow claimants whose claims had been denied prior to the implementation of the regulations to file another three times. Both rulemakings (CIV 100 and CIV 101) will make changes to Department regulations in addition to the changes that had been made by the 1999 final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of Minimum Safety and Security Standards for Private Companies That Transport Violent Prisoners</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to implement the Interstate Transportation of Dangerous Criminals Act of 2000, Public Law 106-560 (114 Stat. 2784)(enacted December 21, 2000).  In that Act, Congress found that State and local jurisdictions are increasingly turning to private companies to transport their violent prisoners, and that escapes have occurred.  Congress determined that minimum regulations for the private prisoner transport industry were necessary to provide protection against risks to the public that are inherent in the transportation of violent prisoners and to assure the safety of those being transported.  

According, this rule proposes that private prisoner transport companies comply with minimum standards for background checks and preemployment drug testing for potential employees, provide minimum standards for the length and type of employee training, and establish restrictions on the number of hours that transportation employees can be on duty during a given time period.  

This rule also proposes that private prisoner transport companies comply with minimum standards for the use of restraints while transporting violent prisoners, and establishes categories of violent offenders required to wear identifying clothing.  Further, the rule proposes a minimum guard-to-offender ratio that must be observed while transporting violent prisoners, and proposes that private prisoner transport companies comply with standards regarding employee uniforms and employee identification.

In addition, the rule proposes to require private prisoner transport companies to notify local law enforcement officials 24 hours in advance of any scheduled stops in their jurisdiction when transporting violent prisoners.  In the event of an escape by a violent offender, the proposed rule requires the private prisoner transport company personnel immediately to notify appropriate law enforcement officials in the jurisdiction where the escape occurs, as well as the governmental entity that contracted with the private prisoner transport company for the transport of the escaped violent prisoner.

Finally, the rule proposes that private prisoner transport companies adopt certain minimum standards in order to protect the safety of violent prisoners in accordance with applicable Federal and State law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>CIV 100 - Technical Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is amending existing regulations to implement the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Amendments of 2000, enacted on July 10, 2000.  The Department is issuing two related rulemakings under this RIN to implement the Act.  The first of the two related rulemakings is a final rule, technical in nature, providing conforming amendments (CIV 100). These technical revisions: (1) Expand the list of radiogenic and chronic diseases that are currently compensable for "downwinder" and "onsite participant" claimants; (2) lower the radiation exposure threshold for "uranium miner" claimants; (3) enlarge the number of uranium mining states where miners may be eligible for compensation; (4) include "aboveground" miners within the definition of "uranium miner"; (5) eliminate smoking distinctions for all claimants; (6) amend the list of geographical areas to provide additional radiation-affected areas for "downwinder" claimants; (7) modify the burden of proof for purposes of claims processing; (8) allow claimants who have previously been denied compensation to file up to three times; and (9) make other technical revisions consistent with the amended Act. 

The second related rulemaking under this RIN is a proposed rule (CIV 101) expanding compensation to two new claimant categories:  Uranium mill workers and individuals involved in the transport of uranium ore or vanadium-uranium ore.  These amendments: (1) Set forth eligibility criteria for the new claimant categories; (2) provide definitions explaining the types of mill-related and ore transporting employment that would be compensable under the Act; (3) describe the documentation that would be required to establish proof of employment in a uranium mill or as an ore transporter; (4) determine the medical documentation necessary to establish the existence of renal cancer and chronic renal disease; and (5) provide clarification of the attorney fee provision contained in Section 9 of the amended law.

On March 22, 1999, the Department published a final rule in the Federal Register, 64 FR 13686, amending its existing regulations to allow the use of pathology reports of tissue biopsies as evidence of disease; include "in situ" lung cancers under the definition of primary cancers of the lung; and to allow claimants whose claims had been denied prior to the implementation of the regulations to file another three times. Both rulemakings (CIV 100 and CIV 101) will make changes to Department regulations in addition to the changes that had been made by the 1999 final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Enhanced Notice and Release Procedures for Owners of Seized Property Pursuant to the CAFRA of 2000; Disposition of Seized Property Too Costly To Maintain; Consolidation of Department Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By this rule, the Department does four things.  

First, the Department is implementing new forfeiture procedures required by the recently enacted Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA). CAFRA's procedural changes enhance the ability of property owners to contest the forfeiture of seized property.  CAFRA also makes other changes beneficial to property owners.  In particular:  1) The requirement to file a  bond for costs with a claim is eliminated; 2) the time for filing a claim is extended; and 3) the release of seized property is required under various circumstances.  Congress made CAFRA's changes applicable to forfeiture proceedings commenced on or after August 23, 2000.

Second, the Department is adding a provision allowing the pre-forfeiture disposition of seized property when the expense of holding the property is disproportionate to its value.  This provision is needed to implement the pre-existing authority of 19 U.S.C. section 1612(b)--one of the customs laws procedural statutes incorporated by reference in forfeiture statutes enforced by the Department.  This provision will enable the Department to use the authority of section 1612(b) in appropriate cases to avoid disproportionately high storage and maintenance costs for seized property pending forfeiture.

Third, this rule consolidates previously existing forfeiture regulations of the INS, DEA, and the FBI in order to achieve greater consistency and promote overall fairness in the administrative forfeiture process by avoiding unnecessary differences in component procedures. 

Fourth, the rule modifies the regulations at 28 CFR part 9 governing petitions for remission or mitigation of forfeiture to refer to DEA's Forfeiture Counsel and not to DEA's Office of Chief Counsel as the pertinent DEA official in DEA forfeiture cases; to incorporate where applicable CAFRA's statutory criteria for innocent ownership; and to provide discretionary authority for the Ruling Official to waive the payment of forfeiture-related costs and expenses as a condition of remission in cases in which the petitioner is a victim of the underlying offense.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations Under the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 3 of Public Law 106-546, the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 (the Act). The rule specifies the Federal offenses that will be treated as qualifying offenses for purposes of collecting DNA samples from Federal offenders, sets forth the responsibilities of the Bureau of Prisons for collecting DNA samples from individuals in its custody, and sets forth related responsibilities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for analyzing and indexing DNA samples.

All 50 States authorize the collection and analysis of DNA samples from convicted State offenders and entry of resulting information into the Combined DNA Index System ("CODIS"), which the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") has established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 14132. Until recently, however, there was no statutory authorization to collect DNA samples from convicted Federal, military, and District of Columbia offenders. Congress acted to fill this gap in the DNA identification system through provisions of the Act. 

Section 3 of the Act addresses the categories of Federal offenders from whom DNA samples will be collected, the responsibility of the Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") and Federal probation offices to collect DNA samples from offenders in their custody or supervision, and the responsibility of the FBI to analyze and index DNA samples. This rule is issued pursuant to subsection (e) of section 3, which provides that, with the exception of the activities of the probation offices, the section shall be carried out under regulations prescribed by the Attorney General. The rule also addresses certain responsibilities of BOP and the FBI under other sections of the Act, which are closely related to the matters addressed in section 3.

The rule adds a new part 28 to title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations relating to the DNA identification system. The new part contains subparts A and B, which relate respectively to the Federal offenses for which DNA samples will be collected and the responsibilities of BOP and the FBI in collecting, analyzing, and indexing DNA samples.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule provides consolidated procedures for requests for designations of violent crime or drug emergency areas and appropriate Federal assistance under section 90107 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. In general, section 90107 provides that the chief executive of a State or local government may make a written request to the Attorney General that the President designate a State or part of a State to be a "violent crime or drug emergency area." This rule specifies the information to be submitted in support of such a request, sets forth the procedures to be followed by the requesters, and provides the process and criteria for Attorney General review of such requests. Section 90107 also provides the President may (1) direct any Federal agency, with or without reimbursement, to utilize its authorities and the resources granted it under Federal law in support of State or local assistance efforts and (2) provide technical and advisory assistance, including communications support and law enforcement-related intelligence information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Gun Control Act of 1968 established categories of individuals who are prohibited from possessing a firearm. A provision of Public Law 105-277, the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 1999, added aliens in a non-immigrant classification as an additional prohibited category. In the same Act, the Attorney General was authorized to grant a waiver for individuals disqualified by this new prohibited category. The waiver petition will be granted, inter alia, upon an applicant showing proof of 180 days of residency and a statement of character from the applicant's embassy or consulate and upon a determination by the Attorney General that the waiver should be granted in the interests of justice so as not to jeopardize public safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Sections 104 and 109 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by section 109 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), the FBI promulgated Cost Recovery Regulations allowing telecommunications carriers to recover certain costs associated with implementing CALEA. The final rule was published on March 20, 1997 (62 FR 13307), and became effective on April 21, 1997. In response to public comment received during this rulemaking, the FBI published an ANPRM on November 19, 1996 (61 FR 58799), which solicited input on the definition of the term "significant upgrade or major modification" as used by CALEA. The "significant upgrade or major modification" NPRM was published on April 28, 1998 (63 FR 23231). The FBI is currently preparing a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, which will define the terms "replaced" and "significantly upgraded or otherwise undergone major modification," which when codified will amend the Cost Recovery Regulations.

Additionally, CALEA section 104 requires the Attorney General to publish a Notice of Actual and Maximum Capacity in order to provide telecommunications carriers with the information they will need to meet law enforcement's future simultaneous electronic surveillance requirements. For local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS, the FBI published an Initial Notice of Capacity on October 16, 1995 (60 FR 53643), and a Second Notice of Capacity on January 14, 1997 (62 FR 1902). The FBI published the Final Notice of Capacity for local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS on March 12, 1998 (63 FR 12218). Additionally, the FBI published a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in the Federal Register on December 18, 1998 (63 FR 70160), which solicited information on and suggestions for developing reasonable methodologies for characterizing capacity requirements for telecommunications services and technologies other than local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS. Comments were due on February 16, 1999. Information gathered in response to the NOI was used in publishing the Further Notice of Inquiry (FNOI) on June 30, 2000 (65 FR 40694).  Comments were due August 29, 2000.  Information gathered in response to the FNOI will be used in the publication of an Initial Notice of Capacity for developing reasonable capacity methodologies for the paging, mobile satellite, specialized mobile radio, and enhanced specialized mobile radio services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>STATUTORY DEADLINE CONT: its authority under section 107 of CALEA to grant telecommunications carriers extensions of this compliance date. As a result of the FCC&apos;s order, carriers must now be in compliance with section 103 by June 30, 2000. If compliance is not reasonably achievable through application of available technology, the carrier may petition the FCC for an extension of up to 2 years.

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the National Stolen Passenger Motor Vehicle Information System (NSPMVIS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Attorney General is required to establish a National Stolen Passenger Motor Vehicle Information System (NSPMVIS) pursuant to the Anti Car Theft Act of 1992 (49 U.S.C. 33109 to 33111). The FBI is coordinating efforts in this matter and, under delegated authority from the Attorney General, the FBI is issuing this rule to establish a national system to verify the theft status of major motor vehicle component parts and junk or salvage vehicles. The system will include certain information about each passenger motor vehicle reported to a law enforcement agency as stolen and not recovered. The rule provides how an individual or entity may obtain information from the system on whether a vehicle or part is listed as stolen. The rule also provides verification procedures to be followed by insurance carriers and certain motor vehicle part businesses. In order to verify the theft status of a part or junk or salvage vehicle, an identification number will have to be obtained from the part or vehicle.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department promulgated regulations to govern the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) in 1998 when the NICS became operational.  On January 22, 2001, the Department published amendments to the original regulations, which became effective on July 3, 2001.  

In this proposed rule, DOJ is publishing, for public comment and further consideration, five proposals to make additional changes in the NICS regulations.  The proposed changes balance the legitimate privacy interests of law-abiding firearms purchasers and the Department's obligation to enforce the Brady Act and the Gun Control Act to prevent prohibited persons from purchasing firearms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cost Recovery Rule (Telecom. Carriers)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by section 109 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), the FBI promulgated Cost Recovery Regulations allowing telecommunications carriers to recover certain costs associated with implementing CALEA. The final rule was published on March 20, 1997 (62 FR 13307), and became effective on April 21, 1997. In response to public comment received during this rulemaking, the FBI published an ANPRM on November 19, 1996 (61 FR 58799), which solicited input on the definition of the term "significant upgrade or major modification" as used by CALEA. The "significant upgrade or major modification" NPRM was published on April 28, 1998 (63 FR 23231). The FBI is currently preparing a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, which will define the terms "replaced" and "significantly upgraded or otherwise undergone major modification," which when codified will amend the Cost Recovery Regulations.

Additionally, CALEA section 104 requires the Attorney General to publish a Notice of Actual and Maximum Capacity in order to provide telecommunications carriers with the information they will need to meet law enforcement's future simultaneous electronic surveillance requirements. For local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS, the FBI published an Initial Notice of Capacity on October 16, 1995 (60 FR 53643), and a Second Notice of Capacity on January 14, 1997 (62 FR 1902). The FBI published the Final Notice of Capacity for local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS on March 12, 1998 (63 FR 12218). Additionally, the FBI published a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in the Federal Register on December 18, 1998 (63 FR 70160), which solicited information on and suggestions for developing reasonable methodologies for characterizing capacity requirements for telecommunications services and technologies other than local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS. Comments were due on February 16, 1999. Information gathered in response to the NOI was used in publishing the Further Notice of Inquiry (FNOI) on June 30, 2000 (65 FR 40694).  Comments were due August 29, 2000.  Information gathered in response to the FNOI will be used in the publication of an Initial Notice of Capacity for developing reasonable capacity methodologies for the paging, mobile satellite, specialized mobile radio, and enhanced specialized mobile radio services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by section 109 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), the FBI promulgated Cost Recovery Regulations allowing telecommunications carriers to recover certain costs associated with implementing CALEA. The final rule was published on March 20, 1997 (62 FR 13307), and became effective on April 21, 1997. In response to public comment received during this rulemaking, the FBI published an ANPRM on November 19, 1996 (61 FR 58799), which solicited input on the definition of the term "significant upgrade or major modification" as used by CALEA. The "significant upgrade or major modification" NPRM was published on April 28, 1998 (63 FR 23231). The FBI is currently preparing a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, which will define the terms "replaced" and "significantly upgraded or otherwise undergone major modification," which when codified will amend the Cost Recovery Regulations.

Additionally, CALEA section 104 requires the Attorney General to publish a Notice of Actual and Maximum Capacity in order to provide telecommunications carriers with the information they will need to meet law enforcement's future simultaneous electronic surveillance requirements. For local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS, the FBI published an Initial Notice of Capacity on October 16, 1995 (60 FR 53643), and a Second Notice of Capacity on January 14, 1997 (62 FR 1902). The FBI published the Final Notice of Capacity for local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS on March 12, 1998 (63 FR 12218). Additionally, the FBI published a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in the Federal Register on December 18, 1998 (63 FR 70160), which solicited information on and suggestions for developing reasonable methodologies for characterizing capacity requirements for telecommunications services and technologies other than local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS. Comments were due on February 16, 1999. Information gathered in response to the NOI was used in publishing the Further Notice of Inquiry (FNOI) on June 30, 2000 (65 FR 40694).  Comments were due August 29, 2000.  Information gathered in response to the FNOI will be used in the publication of an Initial Notice of Capacity for developing reasonable capacity methodologies for the paging, mobile satellite, specialized mobile radio, and enhanced specialized mobile radio services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Grounds of Inadmissibility, Waivers for Immigrants and Nonimmigrants, and Exceptions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation covers the grounds of inadmissibility applicable to those aliens seeking admission to the United States temporarily or permanently. It implements several pieces of legislation. The most significant is the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), signed on September 30, 1996, which substantially revised most grounds of inadmissibility under section 212 of the Act and the waivers available to both immigrants and nonimmigrants. The Immigration and Naturalization Service will publish a proposed regulation to more effectively implement all grounds of inadmissibility and new/revised waiver provisions. The original plan was to publish one large regulation. For logistical and practical reasons, and for ease of reading, the INS will publish one larger, all-encompassing regulation, consisting of 13 subparts, entitled "Revised Grounds of Inadmissibility, Waivers for Immigrants and Nonimmigrants, and Exceptions" RIN 1115-AB45, INS No. 1413-97. The remaining regulations will focus on specific issues and include the following proposed rules: "Medical Examination Requirements and Designation of Civil Surgeons" RIN 1115-AG37, INS No. 2165-01; "Consent to Reapply for Admission After Removal" RIN 1115-AG28, INS No. 2147-01; "Waivers of the 2-Year Foreign Residence Requirement for Certain Exchange Visitors" RIN 1115-AG35, INS No. 2158-01; "Illegal Entries, Unlawful Presence, and Automatic Voidance of Nonimmigrant Visas" RIN 1115-AG36, INS No. 2166-01 and "Medical Grounds of Inadmissibility and Waivers" RIN 1115-AG38, INS No.2167-01.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fees for Participation in Dedicated Commuter Lanes at Selected Ports of Entry; Collection of Fees Under the Dedicated Commuter Lane Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These rules provide for the collection of a fee at the time of application for participation in a Dedicated Commuter Lane (DCL), instead of at the time of approval of the application. The DCL program is a pilot project established at selected land border ports of entry to expedite the transborder movement of eligible, pre-screened, low-risk groups through designated traffic lanes. The first rule clarifies the requirements for the use of the DCL (INS No. 1675). A second rule will set forth the fee required of participants in order to cover the technological costs (INS No. 1794).

INS No. 2058-00 will propose to remove restrictions currently in place that limit the locations where the INS can establish commuter lanes.  In addition, the proposed rule will incorporate other projects designed to enhance border security and effective traffic management at port of entry.  Finally, the rule may adjust the fee structure in order to administer these projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nonimmigrant Classes; S Classification; Law Enforcement Initiatives; Alien Witnesses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Two regulatory initiatives dealing with the processing of alien witnesses have been prepared by the INS. INS No. 1683-94 provides the application and approval process for the admission of aliens in S nonimmigrant classification. It provides guidance to the various law enforcement agencies needing alien witnesses and informants to complete critical law enforcement initiatives in the United States. INS No. 1728-95 establishes a fee for the processing of Form I-854, Inter-Agency Alien Witness and Informant Record, for Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) requests for S nonimmigrant classification for eligible alien witnesses and informants. The fee recovers the costs of the processing of requests for immigration benefits and is needed to comply with specific Federal immigration laws and Federal user fee statute and regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of the Term &quot;Lawfully Present&quot; for Purposes of Eligibility for Public Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 401(a) of the Personal Responsibility and Work Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) provides that, with limited exceptions, only qualified aliens, as defined under section 431, may receive certain Federal public benefits. Section 401(b)(2) provides an exception which allows aliens who are "lawfully present in the United States" as determined by the Attorney General to receive social security benefits under title II of the Social Security Act. PRWORA, and other laws, use the term "lawfully present" in other benefit-related contexts as well. 

The interim final rule published September 6, 1996, amended the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations to define the term "an alien who is lawfully present in the United States" so that the Social Security Administration may determine which aliens are eligible for benefits under title II of the Social Security Act. It is necessary to define "lawfully present" for broader purposes than just the title II benefits. Therefore, rather than issue a final rule pertaining to title VI only, the Service intends to publish a proposed rule covering all other applications of the term as well. The resulting final rule, after notice and comment, will include title II within the rule's broader coverage.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 30, 1996, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) was enacted. This law not only amended significant portions of title 8 of the United States Code, but also changed the provisions of title 18 United States Code (Crimes and Criminal Procedures). Because section 325 amends 18 U.S.C., the Immigration and Naturalization Service will publish an implementing regulation dealing with the filing of statements by individuals who keep, maintain, control, support, or harbor alien prostitutes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification of Certain Health Care Workers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 30, 1996, the President signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. Section 343 prohibits the entry of any alien who seeks to enter the U.S. for the purpose of performing labor as a health care worker (other than a physician) without a certificate as to the alien's qualifications and English ability from the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) or an equivalent independent organization approved by the Attorney General.

The Service published an interim rule (INS 1879-97) to address shortages in the occupations of nursing and occupational therapy on October 14, 1998. In addition, the Service issued a second interim rule on April 30, 1999, to grant CGFNS authorization to issue certificates to foreign health care workers in the occupations of occupational therapy and physical therapy. This rule also granted the Foreign Credentialing Commission on Physical Therapy the authority to issue certificates to foreign-trained physical therapists. The second interim rule (INS 1979-99) was published under RIN 1115-AF43 and now is consolidated with this Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations entry.  A third interim rule (INS 2082-00) was published on January 16, 2001, to address certification requirements for Speech Language Pathologists, Audiologists, Medical Technologists, and Physician Assistants. Litigation over the implementation of this rule has led to a decision to publish interim rules granting temporary authority to issue certificates.

The Service will be publishing a proposed rule (INS 1824) to fully implement section 343, including requirements relating to the designation of covered health care occupations, the procedures and requirements for certifying organizations, the content of the certificates, and the process for presentation of the certificates.

INS No. 2089-00 adds five additional occupation categories for foreign health care workers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations Pertaining to Battered Aliens and to Mail Order Bride Businesses, as Mandated by IIRIRA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) included a number of provisions relating to battered aliens and to mail order bride businesses. The INS anticipates rulemaking in the following areas:

INS document No. 1845-97 is necessitated by section 501 of IIRIRA, which provides certain types of public benefits for those aliens who have made a prima facie case for eligibility pursuant to the INS interim rule on self-petitions by battered aliens, published at 61 FR 13061 (March 26, 1995; INS No. 1705-95). This new rule will define what constitutes a prima facie case. 

INS document No. 1838-97, an advance notice of proposed rulemaking, is to solicit public input into the regulation of certain functions of the international matchmaking industry (also referred to as "mail order bride businesses"), as required by section 652 of IIRIRA, was published on 7/16/97 (62 FR 38041).

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations to define an en route inspection. The rule will also notify all affected parties that the Service will begin to bill cruise ship, train, and bus lines or other modes of transportation, or their designated shipping agents or representatives, for all expenditures of Government funds which the Service obligates in connection with the performance of en route inspections on board transportation carriers. This action is necessary in order for the Service to more accurately account for the costs associated with providing special immigration inspection services on an en route basis and to ensure their full recoupment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Immigrant Juvenile Petitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service proposes to amend its regulations to add eligibility and consent requirements for approvals of special immigrant juvenile petitions (Form I-360).  The proposed rule would require petitioners for special immigrant juvenile classification to demonstrate that a dependency order relating to the juvenile beneficiary (juvenile) was granted on account of abuse, neglect, or abandonment and establish that a court has determined that the juvenile should not be returned to the home country.  The proposed rule would also provide that a dependency order may not serve as a precondition to the approval of the petition unless the Attorney General gives his express consent.  These changes are necessary to conform the regulations to the statutory eligibility changes made by the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1998 (the Appropriations Act of 1998).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Deadline for Special Immigrant Religious Workers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 8, 1995, at 60 FR 29751, INS published a final rule that provided that all persons, other than ministers, immigrating to the U.S. as religious workers must immigrate or adjust status to permanent residence before October 1, 1997.  By statute this special immigrant category for religious workers expired on October 1, 2000.  Congress has extended the category again for an additional 3 years, until October 1, 2003.  This regulation will implement the extension of this category and impose additional qualifying employment experience requirements for those persons affected by this provision of immigration regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend INS regulations to specify how an alien admitted for permanent residence, on returning to the United States, may prove that he or she is not to be considered an applicant for admission. This rule is necessary to implement section 101(a)(13)(C) of the Act and to clarify the responsibility for carriers who transport to the United States aliens who claim to be to be returning residents. This rule will ensure that aliens who present themselves as lawful permanent residents are properly documented as such.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revised regulation is necessary to amend the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations by providing procedures implementing the new provisions of the Electronic Freedom of Information Act (EFOIA) Amendments of 1996. New provisions implementing EFOIA require that we maintain, and provide to the public, a record in either paper or electronic format and maintain an electronic reading room. It further updates the timing of responses to requests by extending the response time from 10 to 20 working days. This regulation reflects current Service procedures for the public to request and obtain access to Service records through the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act. It is being updated to include the handling of requests referred from another agency to ensure that requesters are not penalized by waiting in another agency's backlog and reflects the Department of Justice's updated cost for calculating and changing fees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA), enacted as part of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1999, made various changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) relating to nonimmigrant temporary workers. By this rule (RIN 1115-AF40, INS No. 1974-99), INS will amend certain parts of regulation to implement the ACWIA "whistleblower" provision, codified at INA 212 (n)(C)(iv) and (v), that prohibit retaliation against H-1B workers who disclose information that their U.S. employer has violated the law or regulations pertaining to labor condition applications filed with the DOL. This rule will describe the process established by the INS and DOL jointly to enable an H-1B nonimmigrant who files a complaint alleging intimidation, coercion, threats, blacklisting, or other discrimination to remain temporarily in the United States and seek employment authorization. The DOL will amend its regulations, as necessary, to implement its role in this process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Additional Petitioning Requirements for the H-1B Nonimmigrant Classification Under Public Law 105-277</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA) Public Law 105-277--enacted as part of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1999--made various changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act (the INA) relating to nonimmigrant skilled workers. This rule (RIN 1115-AF41; INS No. 2021-99) implements those portions of ACWIA pertaining to new penalties for employers misrepresenting material facts in an H-1B application. This rule complements regulations to be issued by the Department of Labor (DOL). It also defines the term "United States employer" and implements other provisions of ACWIA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>By a related rule (RIN 1115-AF40; INS 1974-99), INS will implement the ACWIA &quot;whistleblower protection&quot; provisions--codified in the INA at section 212(n)(2)(C)(iv) and (v)--prohibiting retaliation against H-1B workers who disclose information that their employer has violated the law or regulations pertaining to labor condition applications for nonimmigrants. That rule will also enable an H-1B worker who files a complaint alleging retaliation to remain in the United States and seek authorization to work in the United States for a temporary period while his or her complaint is under review.  

In 1190-AA48, the Civil Rights Division, in cooperation with DOL, will implement in the Justice Department&apos;s regulations the ACWIA &quot;failure to select&quot; protections--codified in the INA at section 212(n)(5)--by establishing a process under which United States workers may file complaints against employers for denying them employment opportunities by improperly hiring temporary foreign professionals on H-1B visas. Under that process, the Attorney General is to receive and review these complaints and then--where there is reasonable cause to believe a complainant&apos;s allegations--initiate binding arbitration proceedings through the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS).</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations by establishing procedures for certain North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) civilian employees and their family members to receive special immigrant status in the U.S. and become lawful permanent residents of this country. This rule also offers nonimmigrant status to any parent or child of a NATO civilian employee who has been granted special immigrant status.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend INS regulations by providing signature authority for forms I-420, Agreement Between Transportation Line and the U.S., I-425, Agreement (Pre-Inspection) Between Transportation Line and the U.S. (At Places Outside U.S.), and I-426, Immediate and Continuous Transit Agreement Between a Transport Line & U.S., to the Commissioner or her delegated representative. This change is required by section 308 of IIRIRA which amended section 233 (a) of the I&NA by requiring carriers transporting aliens to the U.S. from all "foreign territory and adjacent islands" to enter into a contract with the U.S. prior to transportation of such aliens. Another change is to remove the signature authority of the Associate Commissioner for Examinations for the aforementioned Agreements because the position was abolished.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of Fees for Services at Land Border Ports-of-Entry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to adjust the fees charged by the INS for three documents processed at land border ports-of entry (POEs):  (1) Form I-94, (2) Form I-94W, and (3) Form I-68.  The I-94 and I-94(W) Arrival/Departure Record grants nonimmigrant visitors entering the U.S. the privilege to stay longer than 72 hours and to travel more than 25 miles from the border point of entry. The I-68, Canadian Border Boat Landing Permit, grants the privilege of making entries on the U.S. side of a body of water without reporting to a U.S. port of entry when traveling by small pleasure craft.  Visits shall not exceed 72 hours nor shall travel exceed 25 miles from the border. The fee adjustment is necessary to ensure that full costs are recovered and that sufficient funds are available to service present and future applicants.  The fees collected from persons filing those documents are deposited into the Immigration Examinations Fee Account (IFEA).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Manifest Requirements and Imposition of Fines Under Section 231 of the Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With the passage the of Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Congress required the Immigration and Naturalization Service to improve the accuracy of data collected on nonimmigrants entering the United States and stored in the Nonimmigrant Information System (NIIS). This rule proposes to 1) require carriers to submit Form I-94 (Arrival and Departure Record) for all arriving and departing alien passengers including legal permanent residents of the United States, first-time immigrants, and in-transit passengers.  Manifests will also be required for all flights and vessels, even those arriving from and departing to contiguous territory; 2) provide criteria and procedures for imposing fines for failure to submit a properly completed arrival or departure manifest; and 3) define alternative methods for submitting Form I-94 data.

This rule will codify the imposition of fines against carriers for failure to provide correct and accurate passenger manifests, Form I-94.  It will also clarify what category of passengers will be required to present Form I-94 on inspection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of Certain Fees of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to adjust the fee schedule of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account (IEFA) for certain immigration adjudication and naturalization applications and petitions. Fees collected from persons filing these applications and petitions are deposited into the IEFA and used to fund the cost of processing immigration adjudication and naturalization applications, and petitions and associated support services; the cost of providing similar services to asylum and refugee applicants; and the cost of similar services provided to other immigrants at no charge. This rule also proposes to adjust the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (Service) fee schedule of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account (IEFA) by adjusting the fee for the fingerprinting of applicants who apply for certain immigration and naturalization benefits from $25 to $50.  The fees collected from persons fingerprinted in connection with an application or petition for certain immigration and naturalization benefits are deposited into the IEFA.  

Federal agencies are required to review their fees bi-annually. This rule is necessary to ensure that the fees funding the IEFA generate sufficient revenue to recover the full cost of processing immigration and naturalization applications, petitions, the cost of asylum refugee, and other support costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations by establishing regulatory procedures to be followed by Service personnel and Department of State personnel in determining whether or not an expatriate alien is inadmissible to the United States under section 212(a)(10)(E) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This ground of inadmissibility relates to former U.S. citizens who renounced U.S. citizenship on or after September 30, 1996, and the Attorney General has determined that such renunciation was done for the purpose of avoiding taxation by the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (Service) regulations to reflect the actual process used to recommend and impose fines for violations of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act).  Since the publication of 8 CFR part 280, the Service had centralized the fines process and made some adjustments to certain procedures.  The 8 CFR part 280 will be renumbered sequentially and reordered to group related issues in one section. This part will also be expanded to provide for fines imposed under section 231A(d)(2) and 274D of the Act and will introduce procedures for detaining vessels and posting bonds, as well as giving the Commissioner discretion in requiring bonds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Intercountry Adoptions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) proposes to amend its regulations regarding the immigration of children of foreign states adopted by United States citizens.  The proposed rule would establish a new definition of child to include children adopted from countries which have implemented the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Convention).  The proposed rule would also change evidentiary requirements for the immigration of adopted children to state that a certificate of adoption or custody issued by the Secretary of State of the United States is conclusive evidence of the relationship between an adoptive parent and the adoptive child.  These changes are necessary to conform the regulations to the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000(IAA).  (Public Law 106-279)

The proposed rule would also remove section 204.3(e)(10) from the regulations.  Section 204.3(e)(10) provides that a home study properly completed in conformance with the regulation in force prior to September 30, 1994, will be considered acceptable if submitted to the Service within 90 days of September 30, 1994.  Since 90 days have passed since September 30, 1994, this provision is no longer applicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Immigration and Naturalization Service is proposing to amend its regulations relating to the acceptance of academic honoraria by nonimmigrant aliens admitted to the United States as a B visa visitor status.  This is necessary to implement changes to section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act made by the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998.

        <RULE_TITLE>Time Limit for Appeal From Denial of Relative Visa Petition</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this rule, the Immigration and Naturalization Service proposes to amend the regulations to provide a 15-day time-limit for an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals from the denial of a relative visa petition. Previously, the regulation specified a 15-day limit for such appeal. However, in 1992, that time-limit  was inadvertently omitted from an amendment to the regulation, although the form for filing such an Appeal, Form EOIR-29, Notice of Appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals for Decision of the Director still states that there is a 15-day limit. Nevertheless, the Board of Immigration Appeals has allowed appeals filed at any time after the denial on the ground that the regulations do not specify a time-limit. A time-limit is needed so that appeals may not be filed years after a denial and so that decisions will become final within a reasonable time period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the INS regulations concerning the adjudication of requests for fee waivers filed by applicants for Service benefits pursuant to 8 CFR 103.7(c).  This applies to a waiver of fees by an immigration judge for benefit applications, petitions, appeals, motions, or requests in any case when an alien substantiates that they cannot pay the fee.  When implemented, this rule will facilitate the adjudication of these requests.  This rule also proposes to amend 8 CFR 244.20, which is a waiver of fees for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) applicants, for the same reasons as stated in 8 CFR 103.7(c).  The rule will also be implemented in conjunction with the new Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver Form.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule changes the definition of an adopted "child" or "orphan" from 16 years old to 18 years old in cases where the child's sibling, who is under 16, is petitioned by the same U.S. citizen(s).  The change is necessary to conform the regulations to the statutory eligibility changes made by Public Law 106-139.  This change allows natural siblings, who might otherwise be separated, to be adopted together into the family of a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment to Lawful Resident Status of Certain Class Action Participants Who Entered Before January 1, 1982, Under the Legal Immigration and Family Equity Act (LIFE Act)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule (INS No. 2115-01) implements section 1104 of the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act (LIFE Act) and LIFE Act Amendments pertaining to adjustment of status of certain class action participants (specifically, Catholic Social Services v. Meese (CSS), 509 U.S. 43 (1993), League of United Latin American Citizens v. INS (LULAC), 509 U.S. 43 (1993), and Zambrano v. INS, 509 U.S. 918 (1993) class applicants) who entered before January 1, 1982, to that of person admitted for lawful residence.  This rule establishes procedures for a 1-year application period to allow CSS, LULAC, and Zambrano class applicants to apply for adjustment of status to that of lawful permanent residence.

INS No. 2145-01 amends the Service's regulations by establishing procedures to apply for Family Unity benefits for certain spouses and unmarried children of aliens who adjusted to lawful permanent resident (LPR) status pursuant to section 1104 of the Legal Immigration Family Equity (LIFE) Act -- known as the LIFE Legalization provision.  It applies to those persons who are no longer present in the United States to allow them to apply for Family Unity benefits pursuant to section 1504 of the LIFE Act Amendments.  This rule also establishes procedures for certain spouses and unmarried children who previously were granted Family Unity benefits pursuant to section 1504 of the LIFE Act Amendments to apply for an extension of their Family Unity benefits.  This rule is necessary to ensure that those aliens eligible to apply for, and extend, Family Unity benefits under the provisions of the LIFE Act Amendments are able to do so in a timely manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will outline INS's requirements to qualify as a part-time commuter student from contiguous territories. Also, this rule will assist colleges and universities in the southern border regions to recruit students from Mexico.  For example, Texas State law allows residents of Mexico to attend border area institutions of higher education and pay in-State tuition rates.  In response, many students living close to the U.S. border are commuting from Mexico in order to pursue a part-time course of study at U.S. institutions of higher education and enter the U.S. territory using border crossing cards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 and Other Related Bills</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act, Public Law 106-313, was enacted on October 17, 2000, along with two bills, the Visa Waiver Permanent Program Act, Public Law 106-311, and a bill to increase the fee for certain H-1B petitions.  Together, these bills make significant changes to the H-1B classification.  Public Law 106-313 increases the numerical H-1B cap to 195,000 for FYs 2000-2002 and the percentage of the fees that INS receives to 4 percent. It exempts certain aliens from the numerical cap, provides for the "portability" of employment authorization, in certain circumstances, 1-year extensions of stay for certain aliens who have permanent residence applications pending.  It also authorizes the creation of an Immigration Services and Infrastructure Improvements Account for appropriation of funds to eliminate the immigration benefit application processing backlog.  This regulation clarifies several interpretive questions raised by the bills and ensures INS practice is consistent with these laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

For example, the scope of the "portability" benefit is unclear.  This lack of clarity combined with the self executing nature of the portability benefit means that aliens who incorrectly interpret the provisions may incur adverse immigration consequences.  A clear regulatory interpretation will prevent this situation.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[This regulatory action is critical for complete and clear implementation of the provisions of this legislation.  The regulation will clarify the confusion that exists in the immigration community as to the scope and applicability of many of these provisions and will thus prevent the public from taking actions which may unintentionally trigger adverse immigration consequences.  Delay in this rulemaking or failure to promulgate will perpetuate confusion among the public and lead to members of the public unwittingly incurring adverse immigration consequences.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Visa Waiver Program: Guam Visa Waiver Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2000, the Visa Waiver Permanent Program Act, Public Law 106-396 made the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP) permanent with some modifications.  The VWPP permits nationals from participating countries to apply for admission to the U.S. for 90 days or less as nonimmigrant visitors for business or pleasure with out first obtaining a nonimmigrant visa.  The proposed rule will clarify and explain the new VWP requirements as well as ensure that the VWP removal provisions apply fairly and equally to all inadmissible nonimmigrants regardless of nationality.  This rule also proposes to amend the Guam Visa Waiver program regulations to allow asylum applicants arriving on Guam under section 212(l) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to have their case heard before an immigration judge without having to proceed through a credible fear interview.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the provisions regarding consent to reapply after removal to conform with the requirements of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA).  This rulemaking intends to remove the provisions contained in 8 CFR 212.2(i) relating to a request for consent to reapply in conjunction with an application for admission at a port-of-entry or with an application for adjustment of status. The proposed removal of ?212.2(i) reflects the overall scope of the changes made by IIRIRA and congressional intent to impose severe penalties on aliens who enter illegally or otherwise violate the U.S. immigration laws, by restricting the relief available to them in the U.S.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waivers of the 2-Year Foreign Residence Requirement for Certain Exchange Visitors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations relating to the 2-year foreign residence requirement under section 212(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act).  The proposed changes would conform to the requirements of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), and the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2000.  The proposed rulemaking would affect aliens who enter the United States as J-1 or J-2 nonimmigrant exchange visitors and who are subject to the requirement of section 212(e) of the Act, which stipulates that they must return to their home country for a period of 2 years before they are eligible to change to a different nonimmigrant classification or apply for lawful permanent residence in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Illegal Entries, Unlawful Presence, and Automatic Voiding of Nonimmigrant Visas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule defines the categories of aliens who are not eligible to be issued a visa or be admitted if: they are in the U.S. illegally because they entered without proper inspection at a port-of-entry (section 212(a)(6)(A) of the Act); they accumulated certain periods of unlawful presence because they entered the U.S. illegally or stayed in the U.S. longer than authorized (section 212(a)(9)(B) of the Act); or they entered the U.S. illegally (or attempted an illegal entry) after they accumulated unlawful presence or after they were removed (section 212(a)(9)(C) of the Act).  This proposed rule also describes how a nonimmigrant visa becomes automatically void, as provided under section 222(g) of the Act.  This proposed rule also explains when the provisions for unlawful presence (sections 212(a)(9)(B) and (C) of the Act) do not apply, and the legal and documentary requirements for a waiver. Promulgation of this rule ensures that the admission to the U.S. of any ineligible alien would not adversely affect the national welfare, safety, or security of the U.S.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule establishes the procedures to be followed in order to petition for the U nonimmigrant visa classifications. Specifically, the rule addresses: the essential elements that must be demonstrated to receive the visa classification; procedures that must be followed to make an application; and evidentiary guidance to assist in the petitioning process.  Eligible victims will be allowed to remain in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reduction of the Number of Acceptable Documents and Other Changes to Employment Verification Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 30, 1996, the President signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA). Section 412(a) of IIRIRA requires a reduction in the number of documents that may be accepted in the employment verification process. Section 412(d) clarifies the applicability of section 274A to the Federal Government. Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act requires agencies to review rules that have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities every 10 years. The Service is conducting this review in conjunction with IIRIRA implementation. The proposed rulemaking published 2/12/98 implements sections 212(a) and (d) of IIRIRA and proposes other changes to the employment verification process identified through that review. A revised Form I-9 was included with the proposed rulemaking. 

The comment period closed on 4/3/98. The Service is analyzing the comments and taking into consideration issues raised by the Alien Registration (MD) (I-551) program. It should be noted that this action supersedes the previously published regulatory plan titled "Reduction in the Number of Documents Accepted for Employment Verification." In order to avoid confusion, this regulatory action is being referenced under the current RIN, which captures all prior actions related to employment verification. 

INS No. 1947-98, Interim Rule published 2/9/99 (64 FR 6187). The "Receipt Rule" permits employees to present their employer certain types of "receipts" in lieu of a document listed on the Form I-9. (Previously under RIN 1115-AE94, which was withdrawn and placed under AB73 due to the relationship of the regulations.)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The deadline for implementing section 412(a) of IIRIRA was extended to March 31, 1998, by Public Law 105-54. This rulemaking has been delayed by the need to coordinate implementation with other provisions of IIRIRA, by several complex policy and regulatory issues that have taken time to resolve, and by the review required by section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

INS No. 1890-97; PL 104-208, title 4. 

INS Nos. 1399 and 1399S-94, Control of Employment of Aliens, Supplemental Rule; Action for INS Nos. 1399 and 1399S is canceled as a result of IIRIRA requirements. 

INS No. 1399E is an extracted portion of INS No. 1399, published separately to allow for the production of a new, more secure Employment Authorization Document. 

INS No. 1713-95, Demonstration Project for Electronic I-9s, contact Bob Reed, (202) 514-2998. 

Interim Rule INS No. 1818 was published on 9/30/97 at 62 FR 51001 to maintain the status quo as much as possible until the Service completes the more comprehensive document reduction initiative designated by INS No. 1890-97.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Immigration and Naturalization Service (the Service) regulations by establishing a procedure whereby bona fide alien crewmen actively serving on board a maritime ferry or a maritime commercial cruise ship may, at the discretion of the Service, be inspected one time during every 90-day period during which the cruise ship conducts operations between Ports-of-Entry (POEs) in the United States and a foreign country. This rule is necessary in order for the Service to formally codify the long-standing practice of authorizing certain maritime crewmen landing privileges in the United States without further inspection during the intervening time between 90-day full-crew inspections.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend Service regulations by removing the list of those countries that are ineligible to participate in the TWOV program from the regulation. In its place the Service proposes to publish and update the list of countries that are ineligible to participate in the TWOV program by Federal Register notice. This rule also sets forth a non-exhaustive list of factors that may be considered in determining those countries whose citizens or nationals are ineligible countries and provides for a regular review of all countries to determine their eligibility for participation in the TWOV program. The TWOV program allows the Service, acting jointly with the Department of State, to waive the passport and visa requirement for aliens from certain countries who request immediate and continuous transit privileges through the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule ensures that favorable treatment under the immigration laws is extended only after a full consideration of its affect on overall immigration enforcement, alleviates confusion over the authority to enforce the immigration laws, and prevents the Service from being bound by agreements undertaken without its knowledge and approval. The rule codifies a long-standing position of the Department of Justice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Affidavit of Support on Behalf of Immigrants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the INS regulations by establishing that an individual (the sponsor) who files an affidavit of support under section 213A of the INA on behalf of an intending immigrant incurs an obligation that may be enforced by a civil action. This rule also specifies the requirements that Federal, State, or local agencies or private entities must meet to request reimbursement from the sponsor for provision of means-tested public benefits and provides procedures for imposing the civil penalty provided for under section 213A of the INA, if the sponsor fails to give notice of any change of address. This rule is necessary to ensure that sponsors of aliens meet their obligations under section 213A of the INA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) added a provision to the Immigration and Nationality Act that allows INS to suspend a commercial airline's privilege to transport aliens to the United States if the carrier has a record of bringing in aliens who have fraudulent documents. After consultation with other interested Government agencies, INS is proposing to implement appropriate standards and procedures governing the use of this power to suspend a carrier's privilege to transport aliens to the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of the Regulatory Definition of Arriving Alien</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the INS regulations by changing the regulatory definition of an arriving alien. Under section 235(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act), which was effective on April 1, 1997, certain arriving aliens are subject to expedited removal procedures. The existing regulatory definition of arriving aliens includes parolees. As a matter of policy, the Department has decided that it is appropriate to exempt from the new expedited removal procedures aliens who were paroled into the United States before April 1997. This rule clarifies that these aliens as well as certain other aliens who were paroled into the United States pursuent to advance parole, will not be subjected to expedited removal upon termination at parole. The rule also makes several changes in the ordering of 1.1(q) to use language that is clearer and more consistent with the wording of the statute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Over the last several years, the Service has issued numerous policy statements regarding its position on employment authorization, advance parole, and extension of nonimmigrant status for certain skilled nonimmigrant workers who have filed for adjustment to permanent resident status. This rulemaking intends to: (1) Codify existing Service policy statements by incorporating them into the Service's regulations and (2) eliminate the requirement for service permission for overseas travel for adjustment applicants who are maintaining H-1 or L nonimmigrant status.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Verification of Eligibility for Public Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action requires entities (other than nonprofit charitable organizations) providing Federal public benefits (with certain exceptions) to verify by examining documents and using an INS automated verification system that alien applicants are eligible for the benefits under Federal benefit reform legislation. This rule also sets forth provisions by which State or local governments can verify whether aliens applying for State or local public benefits are eligible for such benefits under Federal laws. In addition, the rule establishes procedures for verifying the U.S. nationality of individuals applying for benefits in a fair and nondiscriminatory manner. 

The Interim Verification Guidelines were published as a notice on 11/17/97 at 62 FR 61344. The guidelines set forth procedures that benefit-granting agencies can use to verify U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, and qualified aliens for eligibility under title IV of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) prior to issuance of final regulations.

The proposed rule for the Verification of Eligibility for Public Benefits was published on 8/04/98 at 63 FR 41662. The changes made in response to the comments received on the proposed rule were significant enough and dealt with complex and important issues that another opportunity to comment is warranted.  The next version of the rule will be issued as an interim rule, rather than a final rule, in order to implement the statutory directive to promulgate verification regulations and start the subsequent 2-year period in which Federal public benefit granting agencies must come into compliance.  The interim rule is in the concurrence process and has not yet been published.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends INS regulations applying to on-campus employment, off-campus employment authorization, and duration of status for nonimmigrant F-1 students. The rule permits the Commissioner to suspend some or all of the requirements for on-campus or off-campus employment where emergent circumstances exist as provided through notice in the Federal Register. The rule also amends the regulations to provide that an F-1 student who carries less than a full course of study as a result of this special employment authorization will be deemed to be maintaining status for the duration of the authorization, as long as the student carries a minimum course load of 6 credit hours if the student is an undergraduate, or 3 credit hours if the student is in graduate school.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In order to provide a more effective and efficient response to a mass migration event, this rule implements provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act allowing the Attorney General to authorize any State and local law enforcement officer to perform certain functions related to the enforcement of the immigration laws during the period of an actual or imminent mass influx of aliens. This rule would place designated State/local law enforcement officers under the direction of the INS when enforcing immigration law. This rule also allows the Commissioner to enter into advance written agreements with State and local law enforcement officials setting forth the terms and conditions of the functions to be performed during a Federal response to a mass influx of aliens, including reimbursement of expenses.]]></ABSTRACT>

It also terminates the production of Form I-185, Nonresident Alien Canadian Border Crossing Card, and Form I-586, Nonresident Alien Mexican Border Crossing Card. In addition, this rule prohibits the use of Form I-186 (previous version of Mexican Border Crossing Card), Form I-185 and Form I-586 Border Crossing Cards (BCC's) after September 30, 2001, or whatever other date may be enacted for required use of a card containing a machine readable biometric identifier for entry (such as the fingerprint or handprint of the alien). Under the provisions of this rulemaking, an alien seeking entry into the United States by presentation of a BCC must complete a biometric verification upon each entry.]]></ABSTRACT>

Since visas are no longer issued from the British Virgin Islands by the Department of State, all persons needing a nonimmigrant visa have to either travel or mail their applications to Barbados, the nearest visa issuing location. The Service's action will facilitate travel to the United States for nationals of the British Virgin Islands while still ensuring that the proper application provisions of the I&NA are met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Delegation of the Adjudication of Certain H-2A Petitions to the Department of Labor</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service's regulations by delegating the adjudication of certain H-2A petitions to the United States Department of Labor (DOL). The Service has made these changes in order to streamline the existing H-2A petitioning process for certain foreign agricultural workers. This rule will make it easier and less burdensome for United States employers to file petitions for foreign agricultural workers.

A related proposed rule, INS No. 2059-00, will require alien workers to sign a petition request for change of status or extension of stay.  It also provides that all petition requests including extension of stay and change of status petitions must be filed with the DOL and provides that the current Service petition fee will be collected by DOL as part of a combined fee. These changes will further streamline the H-2A petitioning process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interim Designation of Acceptable Receipts for Employment Eligibility Verification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) made several amendments to the employment eligibility verification provisions of the INA. An interim rule implementing some of these amendments was issued on September 30, 1997. This rule included amendments to the "Receipt Rule," which permits employees to present a "Receipt" in lieu of a document listed on the Employment Eligibility Verification form (Form I-9). Circumstances that have become apparent since publication of the September 30, 1997, rule required that rule to be amended by this interim rule. This interim rule was also necessary to facilitate employer and employee compliance with the regulations. The rule revised the amount of time a receipt remains valid where the employee presents a Form I-94 marked with a temporary I-551 stamp and containing a photograph of the bearer. Where the employee presents a Form I-94 marked with a refugee admission stamp, the rule adds Form I-688B to the list of documents that the employee can present at the end of the receipt validity period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inadmissibility and Deportability on Public Charge Grounds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations to establish clear standards governing a determination that an alien is admissible or ineligible to adjust status, or has become deportable, on public charge grounds. This rule is necessary to alleviate growing public confusion over the meaning of the currently undefined term public charge in immigration law and its relationship to the receipt of Federal, State, or local public benefits. By defining public charge, the Service seeks to reduce the negative public health consequences generated by the existing confusion and to provide aliens with better guidance as to the types of public benefits that will and will not be considered in public charge determinations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application for Refugee Status; Acceptable Sponsorship Agreement Guaranty of Transportation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act authorizes the Attorney General to admit refugees to the United States under certain conditions, including those provided for by regulation. The Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations require that sponsorship agreements be secured before an applicant is granted admission as a refugee at a U.S. port-of-entry (POE). The determination of whether or not someone is classified as a refugee is described in the Act as a separate decision from whether a refugee may be admitted to the United States in refugee status. This rule amends the Service regulations by removing language that erroneously implies that the Service requires a sponsorship agreement and guarantee of transportation prior to determining whether an applicant is a refugee. This rule is necessary to clarify issues that may appear ambiguous in the existing regulation, and provides more advantageous treatment for the limited number of applicants for refugee status who have their Service interviews before sponsorship agreements have been secured.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extending the Period of Duration of Status for Certain F and J Nonimmigrant Aliens</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations to provide that the Commissioner may publish a notice to extend the duration of status, under specified conditions, of certain F-1 and J-1 nonimmigrant aliens who may be affected adversely because the numerical limit (cap) on H-1B nonimmigrant aliens has been reached prior to the end of a given fiscal year. This rule is a necessary stop-gap measure because of large number of F-1 and J-1 nonimmigrant aliens seeking a change of nonimmigrant status to that of H-1B after completion of their studies or their program. However, many of these aliens will be unable to change their nonimmigrant status for the remainder of a given fiscal year because of the cap on H-1B petitions. This rule will allow such aliens to avoid a lapse in their status because of a circumstance that is not under their control.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends INS regulations to establish a $95.00 fee, pursuant to section 641 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), as amended by Public Law 106-396.  In accordance with these statutes, the alien will remit the fee directly to the Attorney General at a time prior to the alien being classified as an F, J, or M nonimmigrant. The rule will outline the fee amounts, who is subject, when the fee must be paid, and the consequences that an F-1, J-1, and M-1 nonimmigrant faces upon failure to pay the fee.  This rule is necessary to implement section 641 of the IIRIRA, as amended, as well as authorized under section 103 and 214 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and under 31 U.S.C. 9701.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conditional Residence of Lawful Permanent Residence for Certain Alien Spouses and Sons and Daughters; Battered and Abused Conditional Residents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Enacted on November 10, 1986, the Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendments of 1986 (IMFA) made a number of changes to the Act to deter aliens from marrying solely to obtain immigration benefits. IMFA established a conditional resident status for aliens who obtained lawful permanent resident status based upon a marriage of less than 2 years duration. The interim rule published on May 16, 1991, established procedures to allow a conditional resident who married in good faith but whose marriage was terminated by the United States citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse to seek a waiver of the joint filing requirement. The interim rule also was necessary to provide a method by which a battered conditional resident, or a conditional resident parent of an abused conditional resident child, may apply for removal of the conditional basis of resident status without filing a joint petition. The final rule implements certain technical changes made by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) and addresses comments received in response to the interim rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of 25-Mile Limit at Select Arizona Ports-of-Entry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations to extend the distance Mexican nationals with border crossing cards to travel into the United States without obtaining additional Immigration documentation at selected ports-of-entry (POEs) along the United States and Mexico border. The selected POEs are located in the State of Arizona at Sasabe, Nogales, Mariposa, Douglas, and Naco. Once visitors to Arizona meet the inspection requirements of legal entry to the United States, they will be able to travel within the 75-mile border region of Arizona. This rule is intended to promote commerce in the Southern Arizona border area while still ensuring that sufficient safeguards are in place to prevent illegal entry to the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule provides that INS will only initiate revocation proceedings based on clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence with the burden of proof remaining with INS throughout the administrative process and through the issuance of the final decision. This rule clarifies the issues raised by the promulgation of the final rule that was published in 1996 at 61 FR 5550.

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration and Fingerprinting of Aliens in the United States:  Control of Employment of Aliens</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations governing applications for renewal of 10-year Permanent Resident Cards upon their expiration. This rule adds documents to the acceptable list of registration requirements and clarifies the requirements for Lawful Permanent Resident (LPRs) to file Form I-90, Application to Replace Alien Registration Card, if they are also applying for naturalization. This rule also provides additional methods to verify employment eligibility for those in the process of renewing their expired or expiring Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card. These changes are necessary to facilitate the 10-year Form I-551 renewal process. This rule also clarifies the fingerprinting requirements for lawful permanent residents who reach the age of 14 years. An interim is necessary because the I-90 program must be implemented as the 10-year I-551 begin to be filed with INS. A proposed rulemaking will not allow the INS to meet its program requirement, and it will be burdensome on the public as it will create a class of aliens who have expired Alien Registration Cards with no means to renew their I-551.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 29, 1999, Public Law 106-113 was enacted. Section 117 amended the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) at section 203 to provide national interest waivers to alien physicians agreeing to practice 5 years in designated medically undeserved areas or at Veterans' Affairs facilities. The Service proposes an amendment to 8 CFR 204 and 245 in order to implement the new statutory provisions. The Service issued an interim regulation so that applicants may begin to take advantage of the new provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations by providing a fingerprinting waiver for naturalization applicants who, because of a permanent impairment, are unable to provide any fingerprints.  It also provides an alternative method for collecting the required background clearances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule (INS No. 2020-99)updates the list of those countries that the Service, acting on behalf of the Attorney General and jointly with the Department of State, has determined to be ineligible for participation in the TWOV program.  This rule also removes certain countries from the ineligible listing so that aliens from these countries can have their passport and visa requirements waived.  This rule is intended to benefit the traveling public by expanding the number of countries whose citizens or nationals may transit the United States without a visa while preventing an increase in the abuse of the TWOV program by citizens or nationals of countries placed on the ineligible list.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Numerical Limit on Asylum Grants and Refugee Admissions Based on Resistance to Coercive Population Control Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 601(b) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) provides that, for any fiscal year, not more than a total of 1,000 refugees may be admitted or granted asylum based solely on resistance to coercive population control measures.  This rule authorizes the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Executive Office for Immigration Review to make conditional grants of asylum in those cases in which an applicant is found to merit asylum solely on the basis of resistance to coercive population control measures and establishes a mechanism for converting no more than 1,000 conditional grants per fiscal year to final asylum grants.  The rule also establishes procedures for administering a waiting list in those years that the number of conditional grants exceeds the statutory limit for final grants, reserves a certain number of authorization numbers for purposes of refugee admission, and addresses procedures for administering derivative conditional grants, terminating conditional grants, and other procedures specific to this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule proposes to amend 8 CFR 214.6 by adding the occupations of actuary and plant pathologists to Appendix 1603.D.1.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to implement section 309(c)(3) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) by affording certain aliens rendered ineligible for relief from deportation by recent changes in the law the opportunity to have their deportation proceedings terminated and removal proceedings initiated in order to apply for relief.  Certain permanent resident aliens rendered ineligible for section 212(c) relief by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) and certain non-permanent resident aliens rendered ineligible for suspension of deportation by the stop time rule in IIRIRA may apply for "repapering" (as it is commonly known) under this rule.  This process would not apply to aliens eligible for 212(c) relief pursuant to the procedures described in the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) rulemaking in response to the "Soriano" case (RIN 1125-AA29).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of Status to That of Person Admitted for Permanent Residence; Temporary Removal of Certain Restrictions of Eligibility</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Immigration and Naturalization Service is amending its regulations governing eligibility for adjustment of status under section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to conform the regulations to existing policy and procedures and to remove language that has been superseded by subsequent legislation.  Specifically, this interim rule conforms the regulations to include the changes made by Public Law 105-119 and Public Law 106-544. It also provides for the changes contained in the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act of 2000 (LIFE ACT).  As required by the Life Act, this rule changes the sunset date of section 245(i) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act to the new date of April 30, 2001, for filing of qualifying petitions or applications that enable the applicant to apply to adjust status using section 245(i) and clarifies the effect of the new sunset date on eligibility.  This means that in order to preserve the ability to apply for adjustment of status under section 245(i),  an alien must be the beneficiary of a visa petition for classification under section 204 of the Act or application for labor certification properly filed on or before April 30, 2001, and determined to have approval when filed.  This rule also provides guidance on the standard for review of filing for immigrant visa petitions and applications for labor certification on or before April 30, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Asylum and Withholding Definitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Department regulations that govern establishing asylum eligibility.  This rule is intended to provide guidance on certain issues that have arisen in the context of asylum adjudications.  The amendments focus on portions of the regulations that deal with the definitions of persecution, membership in a particular social group, and State action.  This rule codifies long standing concepts of the definition of persecution. It clarifies that gender can be a basis for membership in a particular social group.  It also clarifies that a person who has suffered or fears domestic violence may be considered a member of a particular social group.  The Department of Justice believes this issue required further examination after the Board of Immigration Appeals decision, Matter of R-A.  This rule also clarifies that the factors considered in Ninth Circuit case law regarding membership in a particular social group are non-determinative.  Finally, the rule offers further guidance on what is required to show a State's inability or unwillingness to control a persecutor.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Allowing for the Filing of Form I-140 Visa Petition Concurrently With a Form I-485 Application in Certain Circumstances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current regulations provide that an alien worker who wants to apply for permanent residence by filing the appropriate Form I-485, Application To Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, cannot do so until he or she obtains approval of the underlying petition, Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker.  This procedure has resulted in aliens experiencing unnecessary delays due to the heavy backlog created by increasing numbers of cases received by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.  This rule amends the Service's regulations by allowing the Forms I-140 and I-485 to be filed concurrently when a visa is immediately available, thereby improving the efficiency of the system, as well as customer service.  This rule will also allow the alien worker to apply for employment authorization (Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization) and advanced parole authorization (Form I-131, Application for Travel Document) while the Form I-485 is pending.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations by establishing the procedure under which the International Broadcasting Bureau of the United States Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), or a BBG grantee organization, may file special fourth preference immigrant petitions for alien broadcasters.  This rule explains the requirements the alien broadcaster must meet in order to be the beneficiary of an immigrant visa petition.  This regulatory change is necessary in order to assist the BBG in fulfilling its statutory obligation to hire alien broadcasters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of Status for Certain Nationals of Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule implements the provisions of the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act (LIFE) and its technical amendments to both the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA), and the Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act (HRIFA) of 1998.  Specifically, section 1505 of the amendments to LIFE states that section 241(a)(5) of the INA does not apply to adjustment applicants under NACARA/HRIFA and that the grounds of inadmissibility under section 212(a)(9)(A) and (C) of the INA may be waived for NACARA/HRIFA adjustment applicants.  Section 241(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) provides for the reinstatement of a removal order against any alien who illegally re-enters the United States after having been removed or after having departed voluntarily under an order of removal.  It also bars any alien whose removal order has been reinstated from receiving any relief under the Act, including any waivers of grounds of inadmissibility necessary for the grant of adjustment of status.  Sections 212(a)(9)(A) and 212(a)(9)(C) of the Act are grounds of inadmissibility relating to aliens previously removed and aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States after previous immigration violations, respectively.  Section 1505 of the amendments to LIFE also states that an alien who has become eligible for benefits under NACARA/HRIFA as a result of the enactment of LIFE may file a motion to reopen his or her removal proceedings in order to apply for adjustment or to apply for cancellation of removal or suspension of deportation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of Status for Certain Syrian Nationals Granted Asylum in the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 27, 2000, the President signed into law Public Law 106-378, which provides for the adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident of certain Syrian nationals, without regard to the annual numerical limitation requirement. This interim rule discusses eligibility and sets forth application procedures for persons wishing to adjust status on the basis of Public Law 106-378. The INS has issued this action as an interim rule because Public Law 106-378 provided for a 1-year application period, which will end on October 26, 2001.  Publication of the interim rule  ensures that applicants were provided with as much time as possible to apply for the benefits under Public Law 106-378.  The Service is now reviewing comments and is drafting a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Classification for Victims of Severe Forms of Trafficking in Persons Eligible for the T Nonimmigrant Status</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets forth application requirements for a new nonimmigrant visa classification.  The T classification was created by 107(e) of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (VTVPA), Public Law 106-386.  The T visa was designed for eligible victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons who aid the Government with their case against the traffickers and who can establish that they would suffer extreme hardship involving unusual and severe harm if they were removed from the United States after having completed their assistance to law enforcement. The rule establishes application procedures and responsibilities for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) and provides guidance to the public on how to meet certain requirements to obtain T nonimmigrant status.

There is a statutory cap for victims of severe form of trafficking (principals), which is set at 5,000 T visas per annum.  The law also provides that certain family members can derive a T status through the principal's  application.  It is estimated that there may be four derivative visas issued for each principal.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[No money has been authorized or appropriated for the anticipated administrative or operational costs for this program. While there is no precise formula for determining anticipated costs, there will be additional costs for adjudicating benefits and investigating claims, particularly those deemed fraudulent. There will be training costs for INS staff. The T visa regulation builds on protections and assistance for victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons outlined in section 107(c) of the VTVPA and implemented in amendments to 28 CFR part 1100 in the recent rulemaking 66 FR 38514 (July 24, 2001) (See RIN 1115-AG20).  Part 1100 outlined procedures for Federal officials to identify and protect victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons; provided for access to information and translation services for victims; and outlined legal mechanisms to grant "continued presence" to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons to allow them to remain in the U.S. during the pendency of law enforcement investigations and prosecutions. The T visa classification allows victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons to remain in the U.S. past the time of their assistance to law enforcement, if they can demonstrate that they will face extreme hardship involving unusual and severe harm if they were removed from the United States.

There may be thousands of applications that will not be approved for a variety of reasons, including failure to meet the basic T nonimmigrant requirements.  All applications will be reviewed and some will require extensive investigation both here and abroad to determine if they are bona fide. 

The anticipated benefit of these expenditures includes the assistance to trafficked victims and their families and the prosecution of traffickers in persons and the elimination of the abuses caused by their trafficking activities. 

Benefits which may be attributed to the implementation of this rule are expected to be:

--an increase in the number of cases brought forward for investigation and/or prosecution;
--heightened awareness by the law enforcement community of trafficking in persons;
--enhanced ability to develop and work cases in trafficking in persons cross-organizationally and multi-jurisdictionally which may begin to influence changes in trafficking patterns.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule is not an initiative of the INS but rather promulgated as a result of congressional action to develop a new nonimmigrant category. Risks associated with the implementation of the congressionally mandated new nonimmigrant classification include:

--increased workload on adjudicators and investigators which may impact overall efficiency and productivity; 
--increases in fraudulent applications/claims of such victimization in order to obtain T nonimmigrant status; and
--changes in human trafficking patterns to elude law enforcement.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Detention of Aliens Subject to Final Orders of Removal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the custody review process governing the detention of aliens who are the subject of a final order of removal, deportation or exclusion, see 8 CFR 241.4, in light of the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S., 121 S. Ct. 2491 (2001).  This rule adds new provisions governing cases for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) to determine whether there is a significant likelihood that an alien will be removed form the United States in the reasonably foreseeable future, and cases where there are special circumstances justifying the continued detention of certain aliens.  This rule also makes conforming changes to the existing post-removal period detention regulations, and provides procedures to implement the statutory provision for the extension of the removal period beyond 90 days if the alien conspires or acts to prevent his or her removal or fails or refuses to assist the Service in obtaining documents necessary to his or her removal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2000, Public Law 106-396, made the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP) a permanent program.  This permanent program, Visa Waiver Program (VWP), allows nationals of designated countries to apply for admission to the United States at land border ports, air and sea ports, and to enter the United States for business or pleasure for up to 90 days without first obtaining a nonimmigrant visa. 

INS Rule No. 1799 finalizes all those Visa Waiver Program countries that were added through the publication of interim regulations. This rule will also incorporate those statutory changes made to section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Immigration Act (IIRRIA).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Employer Sanctions Modifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service is considering further changes to streamline the verification and enforcement process requirements related to the Employer Sanctions provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act. 

INS No. 1738 will allow INS to issue and serve a Warning Notice upon an alleged violator after the INS has determined that a person or entity has violated section 274a of the Act. This rule will also allow interested parties to electronically generate blank copies of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form (Form I-9). 

Comments from the public were received in response to the publication of the interim rule. The response to the comments and the writing of the final rule are currently on hold.

On September 30, 1996, IIRIRA was enacted. Section 411(a)of IIRIRA allows employers who have made a good faith attempt to comply with a particular employment verification requirement to correct technical or procedural failures before such failures are deemed to be violations of the I&NA. INS issued a proposed rule on April 7, 1998, INS No. 1819, to implement this provision and is in the process of preparing a final rule. Because the issuance of Warning Notices requires that violation determinations be made, it is being examined in conjunction with INS No. 1819 in light of section 411(a) of IIRIRA. The anticipated publication date of a final rule will not be determined until issues regarding implementation of section 411(a) of IIRIRA are resolved.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations published under this RIN implement provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act as established by section 302 of the Immigration Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101-649, which allow for the establishment and implementation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Currently, nationals of countries have been accorded TPS Status through the publication of separate Federal Register Notices as listed in this RIN. 

Previously published TPS regulations were cited by RIN 1115-AC30. 

Current regulatory actions: 

INS No. 1608 provides for exceptions to deadlines for registering for TPS and updates the application process. 

INS No. 1612 provides for the removal of obsolete TPS language.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inspection and Expedited Removal of Aliens; Detention and Removal of Aliens; Conduct of Removal Proceedings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Many of the provisions of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) became effective April 1, 1997. Some provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) that were not superseded by IIRIRA became effective November 1, 1996. On March 6, 1997, INS and EOIR published an interim rule revising the asylum process; providing a mechanism for the determination and review of certain applicants who demonstrate a credible fear of persecution if returned to their own country; defining the inspection and admission process including new expedited removal procedures for aliens attempting to enter the United States through fraud or misrepresentation by apprehension, detention, and removal of aliens; addressing conduct of removal proceedings; and revising many other sections of the regulations to conform with the new laws. On December 6, 2000, INS published the rule "Asylum Procedures" (INS No. 1865-97; RIN 1115-AE93) which finalized the asylum portions of this interim rule.  INS still intends to publish a final rule under RIN 1115-AE47 to finalize the portions of this rulemaking relating to inspection and expedited removal of aliens, detention and deportation and removal of aliens, and the conduct of removal proceedings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 30, 1996, the President signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. The INS will amend current regulations governing F-1 foreign students and the schools authorized to enroll F-1 students. The purpose is to bar F-1 eligibility and status from attendance at a public elementary school and publicly funded adult education programs. In addition, this rulemaking will establish the reimbursement requirements and 12-month limit for F-1 eligibility and status to attend an INS approved public secondary school. The rulemaking will implement the statutorily mandated foreign student tracking provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 30, 1996, the President signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA). This rule will implement section 411 of IIRIRA which allows employers that have made a good faith attempt to comply with a particular employment verification requirement to correct technical or procedural failures to meet the requirement before such failures are deemed to be violations of the Act. This rule will explain the good faith rule, define the term technical or procedural failure to meet such requirement, and explain how an employer can correct technical or procedural failures.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule will establish the criteria and procedures for certifying bonding companies for participation in the program and the debarment of any such company that fails to pay a bond.

        <RULE_TITLE>Expansion of Expedited Removal of Certain Criminal Aliens Held in Federal, State, and Local Jails</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice advises the public that the Immigration and Naturalization Service intends to apply the expedited removal provisions of section 235(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act on a pilot basis to certain criminal aliens being held in three correctional facilities in the State of Texas. This action will not become effective until the Service evaluates and addresses public comments and informs the public by notice in the Federal Register when the expedited removal provisions will be implemented. This pilot program will last for a period of 180 days, and will be followed with an evaluation of the program. The Service believes that implementing the expedited removal provisions to persons who have been found by a Federal judge to be guilty of illegal entry and are serving short criminal sentences will result in faster removal of those criminal aliens. This will ensure prompt immigration determinations in those cases and consequently will save Service detention space and immigration judge and trial attorney resources. The public comments were received and reviewed.  The Service elected to study the process to determine if the efficiencies to be gained were still valid.  The Service incorporated its results into the Final Notice which is currently being reviewed by the Department.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Increasing the Number of Officers Authorized To Issue Notices To Appear and Arrest Warrants for Immigration Violations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations by increasing the number of officers authorized to issue notices to appear, and warrants of arrest for immigration violations.  Currently, the authority to issue notices to appear, and to issue arrest warrants for immigration violations is limited to a small number of Service officers.  The present listing identifies the officers authorized to issue by specific position.  This revision increases the number of issuing officers and identifies issuing authority by job title.  The action is necessary to improve Service operations since many Service employees are posted great distances away from the officials who are currently authorized to issue notices to appear and arrest warrants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of Service Fee for Fingerprinting for Immigration and Naturalization Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to adjust the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (Service) fee schedule of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account (IEFA) by adjusting the fee for the fingerprinting of applicants who apply for certain immigration and naturalization benefits from $25 to $50.  The fees collected from persons fingerprinted in connection with an application or petition for certain immigration and naturalization benefits are deposited into the IEFA.  The IEFA funds the full cost for operation of the Application Support Centers (ASCs) where the majority of fingerprinting is accomplished.  The Service has determined that the current fee for this service needs to be adjusted.  This rule is necessary to ensure that the fee charged fully recovers the cost to the Service of fingerprinting persons applying for certain immigration and naturalization benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is proposing to amend its regulations to provide that a Federal department or agency may not sell from the stocks of the department or agency any chemical which could be used in the manufacture of a controlled substance unless the Administrator of DEA certifies in writing to the head of the department or agency that there is no reasonable cause to believe that the sale of the chemical would result in the illegal manufacture of a controlled substance. The proposed rulemaking provides regulatory guidelines and establishes a procedure for prospective bidder and/or broker to appeal if they are aggrieved by DEA's failure to provide such certification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Placement of Gamma-Butyrolactone in List I of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 106-172, signed into law on February 18, 2000, and known as the "Hillory J. Farias and Samantha Reid Date-Rape Drug Prohibition Act of 1999" amends section 102(34) of the Controlled Substance Act as amended (CSA) by designating gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), the precursor to  gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), as a List I chemical.  Reflecting this change in stature, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is amending its regulation to reflect the status of GBL as a List I chemical subject to the requirements of the CSA and its regulations.  Establishments of a threshold for GBL will be the subject of a separate rulemaking.  Therefore, unless and until a threshold is established, any distribution of GBL is a regulated transaction as described by 21 CFR 1300.02(b)(28).  All handlers of GBL must comply with the CSA regulatory requirements pertaining to List I chemicals as described in the body of this document.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Industrial Use of Products and Materials Derived From Cannabis Plants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is planning to publish three rules simultaneously in the Federal Register regarding the status of products manufactured from the cannabis plant.  It is anticipated that the three rules will be as follows.

The first rule will be an interpretive rule, which will provide DEA's interpretation of existing law with respect to the listing of tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and DEA regulations. (Please see "Additional Information" for further details.)  

The second rule will be a proposed rule, which will propose to revise the wording of the DEA regulations to more clearly reflect DEA?s interpretation of the law as set forth in the interpretive rule.  The proposed rule would make clear that the listing of THC in Schedule I includes both natural and synthetic THC and that any substance containing any amount of THC is a Schedule I controlled substance--even if such substance is made from "hemp."

The third rule will be an interim rule, which will exempt from application of the CSA and DEA regulations certain industrial "hemp" products.  DEA would be issuing this rule to allow the continuation of what have historically been considered legitimate industrial uses of "hemp."  Under this rule, industrial "hemp" products such as paper, rope, and clothing may continue to be marketed in the United States without being subject to the CSA.  At the same time, in order to protect the public health and safety, the interim rule will not allow "hemp" products that result in THC entering the human body.  In this manner, it will remain clear that the only lawful way THC may enter the human body is when a person is using a federally approved drug or when the person is the subject of federally approved research.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>While agencies are not required to include information regarding interpretive rules in the Unified Agenda, DEA is providing a description of this interpretive rule for informational purposes.  The interpretive rule will provide DEA&apos;s interpretation of existing law with respect to the listing of tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and DEA regulations.  The rule will further provide DEA&apos;s interpretation of the current legal status of products containing THC.  In recent months, DEA has received numerous inquiries from members of the public about the legal status of products made from &quot;hemp&quot; (portions of the cannabis plant excluded from the CSA definition of marijuana).  As stated in this rule, DEA interprets the CSA such that any substance containing any amount of THC is a Schedule I controlled substance--even if such substance is made from &quot;hemp.&quot;</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is proposing to amend its regulations to restrict to 50 dosage units the total quantity of Schedule II, III, IV, and V controlled substances that may be imported for personal medical use by United States (U.S.) residents entering the U.S.  A dosage unit is considered by DEA to be the basic unit used to quantify the amount to be taken in normal usage.  The proposed 50 dosage unit limit would not apply to a U.S. resident who has a valid U.S. practitioner's prescription.  This proposed rulemaking implements and extends the provisions of the Controlled Substances Trafficking Prohibition Act of 1998.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is amending its regulations to provide for the use of central fill pharmacies, also known as refill pharmacies, fulfillment centers, or call centers.  Unlike retail pharmacies which dispense controlled substances directly to the patient, central fill pharmacies provide a service to retail pharmacies by preparing and packaging prescriptions for retail pharmacies to dispense to the patient.  Prescription information is transmitted from a retail pharmacy to a central fill pharmacy where the prescription is filled or refilled.  The filled prescription is delivered to the retail pharmacy for pickup by the patient.  Industry has expressed interest in utilizing central fill pharmacy operations to allow for more efficient delivery of prescriptions to patients.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Orders for Schedule I and II Controlled Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is proposing to revise its regulations to provide the option of ordering Schedule I and II controlled substances electronically in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.).  The regulations will propose that this electronic system may also be used for controlled substances in Schedules III, IV, and V.  These proposed regulations would be in addition to, not a replacement of, the existing rules.  These regulations are needed to give manufacturers, distributors, importers, exporters, pharmacies, and hospitals the option to use modern technology for controlled substance transactions.  The proposed regulations would reduce paperwork and transaction times for DEA registrants who distribute, purchase, or handle controlled substances.  These proposed regulations are consistent with paperwork reduction mandates.  These proposed regulations also respond to the requirements of Public Law 106-229 the "Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act," while maintaining a closed system of distribution of controlled substances and ensuring security and authentication.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is proposing to revise its regulations to permit DEA registered prescribers to electronically write, sign, and transmit prescriptions.  These proposed regulations would be an addition to, not a replacement of, the existing rules.  These regulations are needed to give pharmacies, hospitals, and practitioners the ability to use modern technology for controlled substance prescriptions, while maintaining the closed system of distribution of controlled substances dispensing.  The proposed regulations would reduce paperwork and transaction times for DEA registrants who dispense or prescribe controlled substances.  The proposed regulations would also reduce the number of prescription errors caused by illegible handwriting and misheard oral prescriptions.  They would allow pharmacies and hospitals to integrate prescription records into other medical records more directly, increasing efficiency, and would reduce the time patients spend waiting to have prescriptions filled.  These proposed regulations are consistent with paperwork reduction mandates.  These proposed regulations also respond to the  requirements of Public Law 106-229 the "Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act," while ensuring security and authentication.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Requirements for Handlers of Pseudoephedrine, Ephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is proposing to require that manufacturers, distributors, importers and exporters of pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine implement security procedures similar to those of Schedules III-V controlled substances to prevent the theft and diversion of these List I chemicals.  Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine are used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine and phenylpropanolamine is used in the illegal manufacture of amphetamine. 

The vast majority of these clandestine laboratories were producing methamphetamine using over-the-counter regulated drug products.  Some of the product found at these clandestine laboratories came from thefts at manufacturers, distributors, importers and exporters.  Almost all of the reports of List I chemical thefts reported to DEA in the past few years have involved pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, or phenylopropanolmine.  
 
Therefore, to address the problem of diversion of pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine through theft, DEA is proposing that manufacturers, distributors, importers and exporters of these three chemicals implement security procedures similar to those now used by registrants handling Schedules III through V controlled substances.  These procedures include the storage of substances in a secure safe or steel cabinet, cage, or room and installation of a monitored alarm system linked to a central location.  Keeping pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine products in such secure areas will limit the opportunity for theft.]]></ABSTRACT>

Reflecting this change in stature, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is amending its regulation to reflect the status of GBL as a List I chemical subject to the requirements of the CSA and its regulations.

Therefore, unless and until a threshold is established, any distribution of GBL is a regulated transaction as described by 21 CFR 1300.02(b)(28).

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification of Listing of Tetrahydrocannabinols</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is planning to publish three rules simultaneously in the Federal Register regarding the status of products manufactured from the cannabis plant.  It is anticipated that the three rules will be as follows.

The first rule will be an interpretive rule, which will provide DEA's interpretation of existing law with respect to the listing of tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and DEA regulations. (Please see "Additional Information" for further details.)  

The second rule will be a proposed rule, which will propose to revise the wording of the DEA regulations to more clearly reflect DEA?s interpretation of the law as set forth in the interpretive rule.  The proposed rule would make clear that the listing of THC in Schedule I includes both natural and synthetic THC and that any substance containing any amount of THC is a Schedule I controlled substance--even if such substance is made from "hemp."

The third rule will be an interim rule, which will exempt from application of the CSA and DEA regulations certain industrial "hemp" products.  DEA would be issuing this rule to allow the continuation of what have historically been considered legitimate industrial uses of "hemp."  Under this rule, industrial "hemp" products such as paper, rope, and clothing may continue to be marketed in the United States without being subject to the CSA.  At the same time, in order to protect the public health and safety, the interim rule will not allow "hemp" products that result in THC entering the human body.  In this manner, it will remain clear that the only lawful way THC may enter the human body is when a person is using a federally approved drug or when the person is the subject of federally approved research.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition and Registration of Reverse Distributors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In years past, most pharmaceutical manufacturers and wholesalers, as a service to their customers, accepted returns of outdated/damaged merchandise. Also, agencies such as DEA and State Boards of Pharmacy accepted surrendered drugs or witnessed their disposal by controlled substance registrants. Over the past several years, environmental concerns and regulations have eliminated many of the disposal options which had been available. As a result, drug producers and government agencies alike are increasingly reluctant to be involved in the disposal process. Due to these factors and the time and resources expended by DEA and manufacturers, DEA is proposing the establishment of this essential link in the legitimate distribution chain.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exemption of Chemical Mixtures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Domestic Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993 removed the exemption from regulation for chemical mixtures. Chemical mixtures are now regulated, unless specifically exempted by the Administrator. In the proposed rule regarding the implementation of the Domestic Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993, DEA proposed regulations regarding exemption of chemical mixtures. Based on industry comments, the proposed regulations were subsequently withdrawn for reassessment and consultation with industry. Based on extensive consultations with industry, DEA has published proposed regulations intended to establish the least possible burden on industry while remaining consistent with the requirements of the law. Comments received on the proposed regulations are currently being reviewed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Methamphetamine Control Act; Regulation of Pseudoephedrine, Phenylpropanolamine, and Combination Ephedrine Drug Products; Reports of Certain Transactions to Nonregulated Persons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is proposing to amend its regulations to implement the requirements of the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996 (MCA) establishing pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, and combination ephedrine drug products as List I chemicals, and the MCA requirement that reports be submitted for certain distributions to nonregulated persons involving pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, and ephedrine, including drug products containing those chemicals. The MCA establishes pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, and combination ephedrine products as regulated List I chemicals and requires that reports of certain distributions to nonregulated persons be reported each month. 

To minimize the impact of the new law, DEA is proposing to exempt retail distributors from the registration requirement. This exemption will provide the estimated 750,000 retail distributors with relief from the chemical control requirements of the regulations, including registration. Additionally, the existing exemptions from registration for CSA registrants and for distributors of prescription drug products will help minimize the impact of the requirements on other handlers of the products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) proposes to amend its application fees for registration and reregistration of manufacturers, distributors, importers, and exporters of List I chemicals, as authorized by section 3(a) of the Domestic Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993 (DCDCA), reducing the fees from $595.00 to $326.00 for initial registration, and the reregistration fees from $477.00 to $171.00. Fees for retail registrants will increase from $255.00 to $326.00 for registration, and from $116.00 to $171.00 for reregistration. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-25 requires a periodic review of user charges for agency programs. This review will bring fees into alignment with current changes in costs or market values.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Red Phosphorus, White Phosphorus, and Hypophosphorous Acid (and Its Salts) as List I Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Because of their use and importance in the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance, DEA is proposing the addition of red phosphorus, white phosphorus (also known as yellow phosphorus), and hypophosphorous acid (and its salts) as List I chemicals.  These phosphorus chemicals have been identified as being important chemicals for the illicit production of methamphetamine.  As List I chemicals, handlers of these materials will be subject to Controlled Substances Act (CSA) chemical regulatory controls including registration, recordkeeping, reporting, and import/export requirements.  DEA has determined that these controls are necessary to prevent the diversion of these chemicals to clandestine drug laboratories.

DEA has conducted an extensive review of the phosphorus industry, publishing an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  DEA's review indicated that there are only two domestic producers of white phosphorus and three producers of red phsophorus, or hypophosphorus acid (and its salts).  While producers of white phosphorus will be required to register with DEA and maintain records of each regulated transaction (i.e., all transactions of these chemicals), over 98 percent of the phosphorus produced is converted to a form not impacted by this regulation.  The remaining 2 percent of the phosphorus (used domestically) is utilized in its elemental form (i.e., as red phosphorus or white phosphorus) or used to produce all other phosphorus chemicals.  Therefore, this regulation will only affect the distribution of less than 2 percent of the of the industry at the end user level.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of Freight Forwarding Facilities for DEA Distributing Registrants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA amended its regulations to define the term Freight Forwarding Facility and to exempt such facilities from the requirement of registration, in response to industry requests for recognition of such facilities. The amendments establish the regulatory guidelines under which registrants may utilize a freight forwarding facility while shipping controlled substances to another registrant.

DEA intended that its use of the term Freight Forwarding Facility would be consistent with industry's use and understanding of that term.  However, subsequent to publication of the final rule, DEA learned that the term Freight Forwarding Facility has different meanings to different industry participants and, further, that not all industry participants understand this term in the same way that DEA does.  Accordingly, DEA plans an additional rulemaking to clarify the use of this term.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Listed Chemicals; Final Establishment of Thresholds for Iodine and Hydrochloric Gas (Hydrogen Chloride Gas)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Effective October 3, 1996, the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996 (MCA) established that iodine is a List II chemical; however, it was not made subject to import/export regulatory controls. While exports of the listed chemical hydrochloric acid (including anhydrous hydrogen chloride, referred to in the MCA as hydrochloric gas, which is a form of hydrogen chloride) were already regulated pursuant to 21 CFR 1310, the MCA had the practical effect of directing the DEA to place domestic controls on anhydrous hydrogen chloride. Since no domestic thresholds for iodine or anhydrous hydrogen chloride have been established prior to this final rule, all domestic transactions involving such chemicals have been subject to recordkeeping and reporting requirements under the Controlled Substances Act since October 3, 1996. 

This rule establishes domestic thresholds for anhydrous hydrogen chloride and iodine. Import and export transactions in anhydrous hydrogen chloride are unaffected by this rule. This rule reinserts the table in 21 CFR 1310.04(f)(2)(iv), listing thresholds for exports, transshipments, and international transactions to designated countries set forth in 21 CFR 1310.08(b) and assigns the DEA chemical code number of 6699 for iodine.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waiver of Advance Notification Requirement To Import Acetone, 2-Butanone (MEK), and Toluene</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is proposing the amendment of its regulations to waive the advance notification requirement to import acetone, 2-Butanone (MEK), and toluene.  DEA is also proposing the amendment of its regulations to waive the advance notification requirement to export less than 25.0 grams of ephedrine.  DEA has determined that the advance notification requirement is not necessary for chemical diversion control. These amendments to the regulations will ease regulatory burdens for both DEA and the regulated industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Placement of Dichloralphenazone Into Schedule IV</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is issued to expressly list dichloralphenazone (DCP) as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).  This action is based on DEA's interpretation that dichloralphenazone is a compound containing chloral hydrate, a Schedule IV controlled substance under 21 CFR part 1308; by definition, dichloralphenazone is also a Schedule IV controlled substance.  This action will impose the regulatory controls and criminal sanctions of Schedule IV on those perons who handle dichloralphenazone or products containing dichloralphenazone.]]></ABSTRACT>

Courses which are offered as part of an occupational education program are to be covered by the Bureau's regulations on occupational education. The inmate is consequently responsible for paying postsecondary education tuition costs either through personal funds, community resources, or scholarships available to the inmate. This revision is intended to simplify the organization of the Bureau's regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 2, 1996, BOP published an NPRM proposing limitations on telephone privileges and commissary privileges for inmates who refuse to participate in the inmate financial responsibility program (BOP 1050).  On December 28, 1999, BOP finalized that portion of the NPRM pertaining to limitations on commissary privileges.  BOP is continuing to work on addressing issues raised by its proposed limitations on telephone privileges for inmates who are inmate financial responsibility program refusees.  BOP will finalize that portion of its January 1996 NPRM in a separate document (BOP 1102).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the current provisions for searching and detaining or arresting persons other than inmates, the Warden may restrict visiting to controlled situations or to more closely supervised visits when there is any suspicion that the visitor is introducing or attempting to introduce contraband, or when there has been a prior incident of such introduction or attempted introduction, or when there is any concern, based upon sound correctional judgment, about the visitor presenting a risk to the orderly running of the visiting room or area.  When a controlled or closely supervised visit is not possible, the Warden may deny visiting privileges.  The Bureau is proposing to replace the graduated imposition of sanctions with a more flexible response.  A visitor who presents a risk to the orderly running of the visiting room or area could be denied visiting privileges regardless of the feasibility of providing a controlled or closely supervised visit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Safety Officers&apos; Benefits Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Justice Assistance is proposing amendments to 28 CFR part 32, which governs operation of the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program.  These proposed amendments would specify the maximum hourly fee that may be charged by representatives of claimants for financial benefits under the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program in connection with services rendered by these representatives on behalf of claimants in any application or proceeding before the Bureau of Justice Assistance.  These proposed amendments serve also to clarify applicant eligibility standards.  Further, BJA is proposing to amend 28 CFR part 32 by adding an additional Appendix to inform potential Public Safety Officer Benefits (PSOB) claimants and administrative hearing officers about the eligibility standards that are applicable in the PSOB Disability Program.  The disability benefit is available for public safety officers who have sustained a catastrophic injury in the line of duty which has left them permanently and totally disabled and unable to perform any gainful work.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[First, this proposed common rule on debarment and suspension would limit the mandatory lower tier application of an exclusion to the first procurement level under a nonprocurement covered transaction.  Second, this proposed common rule on debarment and suspension would set the dollar threshold on prohibited lower-tier procurement transactions with excluded persons at $25,000.  Third, both this proposed rule on debarment and suspension and the proposed rule on drug-free workplace requirements would eliminate the mandate for agencies and participants to obtain written certifications from awardees or persons with whom they propose to enter into covered transactions.  Fourth, the proposed rule on drug-free workplace requirements would be separated from this proposed rule on debarment and suspension.]]></ABSTRACT>

The purpose of this program is to provide assistance to an uncommon situation, which does or threatens to escalate to serious or epidemic proportions, and State or local resources are not sufficient to protect the lives and property of citizens or to enforce the criminal law. Currently, the State must submit the application directly to the Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice, with one copy to the Director, Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.  The Office of Justice Programs has moved to a different location in Washington, DC, necessitating this correction to the regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Justice Programs proposes to amend the regulations governing the nondiscrimination provisions in the Safe Streets Act, which apply by reference to the Juvenile Justice Act, and to implement the nondiscrimination provisions of the Victims of Crime Act.  Collectively, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, and handicap in federally assisted programs.  The proposed regulations also expand and clarify other definitions.  Accordingly, OJP is proposing these new regulations to clarify and revise the nondiscrimination requirements connected to Federal funding under these statutes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Authority of Immigration Judges To Issue Civil Money Penalties</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the regulations by implementing the statutory authority given to Immigration Judges to sanction by civil money penalty any action or inaction in contempt of the Judge's proper exercise of authority. This statutory authority is derived from section 304 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, Public Law 104-208 (IIRIRA), September 30, 1996. This rule sets forth the types of conduct for which civil money penalty sanctions may be imposed, the procedures for imposing these sanctions, the affirmative defenses which may excuse the imposition of a civil money penalty sanction, and the procedures for appealing such sanctions. The rule also adds an additional ground for disciplinary sanctions under 8 CFR section 3.102 for engaging in a pattern and practice of conduct which has been found to be in contempt of the Immigration Judge's proper exercise of authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule amends the regulations of the EOIR and the INS by establishing procedures for certain lawful permanent residents (LPRs) with certain criminal convictions to apply for a waiver of inadmissibility pursuant to former section 212(c) of the INA. It is only applicable to certain LPRs whose convictions were prior to April 1, 1997.  It applies to certain  LPRs who have cases pending before EOIR or are under final administrative orders.  This rule will broaden eligibility for INA section 212(c) relief in light of the recent Supreme Court decision in INS v. St. Cyr, 121(S.Ct. 2271(2001).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the regulations of the Executive Office for Immigration Review and the Immigration and Naturalization Service by eliminating the conditional grant process at 8 CFR 240.21 and establishing a permanent procedure for processing suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal cases. This rule is necessary to implement the numerical limitation on suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal and adjustment of status imposed by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) and the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act of 1997 (NACARA).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Authorities Delegated to the Director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule outlines the authorities and powers (and limitations thereto) delegated by the Attorney General to the Director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the Chairman of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and the Chief Immigration Judge. These authorities include such managerial responsibilities as: Issuing operational instructions, setting policies, providing for the training of staff, and ensuring the efficient disposition of cases. One of the limitations on the powers of the Director of EOIR, the Chairman of the BIA, and the Chief Immigration Judge is that they cannot direct the result of a case adjudication assigned to someone else. Further, the Director of EOIR cannot adjudicate cases.

Additionally, this rule makes technical amendments to better describe EOIR's components: The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), the Office of the Chief Immigration Judge (OCIJ), and the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1991, the Department of Justice published regulations to implement title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Those regulations include the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, which establish requirements for the design and construction of accessible facilities that are consistent with the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) published by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board). In the time since the regulations became effective, the Department of Justice and the Access Board have each gathered a great deal of information regarding the implementation of the Standards. The Access Board is currently in the process of revising ADAAG, and it published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on November 16, 1999. In order to maintain consistency between ADAAG and the ADA Standards, the Department is reviewing its title III regulation and expects to propose, in one or more stages, to adopt the revisions proposed by the Access Board and to make related revisions to the Department's title III regulation. In addition to maintaining consistency between ADAAG and the Standards, the purpose of this review and these revisions will be to more closely coordinate with voluntary standards, to clarify areas which, through inquiries and comments to the Department's technical assistance phone lines, have been shown to cause confusion, to reflect evolving technologies in areas affected by the Standards, and to comply with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which requires agencies once every 10 years to review rules that have a significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small entities.

The adoption of revised ADAAG will also serve to address changes to the ADA Standards previously proposed in RIN 1190-AA26 and RIN 1190-AA38, which have been withdrawn. These changes will include technical specifications for facilities designed for use by children and accessibility standards for State and local government facilities that have previously been published by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board.

The timetable set forth below refers to the notice of proposed rulemaking that the Department will issue as the first stage of the above-described title III rulemaking.  This notice of proposed rulemaking will be issued under both title II and title III. For purposes of the title III regulation, this notice will propose to adopt revised ADAAG as the ADA Standards for Accessible Design and will initiate the review of the regulation in accordance with the requirements of section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 26, 1991, the Department published its final rule implementing title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On November 16, 1999, the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) issued its first comprehensive review of the ADA Accessibility Guidelines, which form the basis of the Department's ADA Standards for Accessible Design. The ADA (section 204(c)) requires the Department's standards to be consistent with the Access Board's guidelines. Therefore, the Department will publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to adopt the revisions proposed by the Access Board.  The Department will also, in one or more stages, review its title II regulation for purposes of section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act and make related changes to its title II regulation.

In addition to the statutory requirement for the rule, the social and economic realities faced by Americans with disabilities dictate the need for the rule. Individuals with disabilities cannot participate in the social and economic activities of the Nation without being able to access the programs and services of State and local governments. Further, amending the Department's ADA regulations will improve the format and usability of the ADA Standards for Accessible Design; harmonize the differences between the ADA Standards and national consensus standards and model codes; update the ADA Standards to reflect technological developments that meet the needs of persons with disabilities; and coordinate future ADA Standards revisions with national standards and model code organizations. As a result, the overarching goal of improving access for persons with disabilities so that they can benefit from the goods, services, and activities provided to the public by covered entities will be met.

The timetable set forth below refers to the notice of proposed rulemaking that the Department will issue as the first stage of the above-described title II rulemaking.  This notice of proposed rulemaking will be issued under both title II and title III.  For purposes of the title II regulation, this notice will propose to eliminate the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) as an alternative to the ADA Standards for Accessible Design and to adopt revised ADAAG as the ADA Standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Department is required by the ADA to issue this regulation as described in the Statement of Need above.  Pursuant to SBREFA, the Department's title II regulation will consider whether alternatives to the currently published requirements are appropriate.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Administration is deeply committed to ensuring that the goals of the ADA are met. Promulgating this amendment to the Department's ADA regulations will ensure that entities subject to the ADA will have one comprehensive regulation to follow. Currently, entities subject to title II of the ADA (State and local governments) have a choice between following the Department's ADA Standards for title III, which were adopted for places of public accommodation and commercial facilities and which do not contain standards for common State and local government buildings (such as courthouses and prisons), or the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). By developing one comprehensive standard, the Department will eliminate the confusion that arises when governments try to mesh two different standards. As a result, the overarching goal of improving access to the built environment to persons with disabilities will be better served. 

The Access Board has analyzed the effect of applying its proposed amendments to ADAAG to entities covered by titles II and III of the ADA and has determined that they constitute a significant regulatory action for purposes of Executive Order 12866.  The Access Board's determination will apply as well to the revised ADA Standards published by the Department. The Department's proposed procedural amendments will not have a significant impact on small entities. 

The Access Board has prepared a regulatory assessment, which includes a cost impact analysis for certain accessibility elements and a discussion of the regulatory alternatives considered.  A summary of the Board's regulatory assessment is published at 64 FR 62282 (November 16, 1999).  That assessment will also apply to the Department's proposed rule.

The Access Board has made every effort to lessen the impact of its proposed guidelines on State and local governments but recognizes that the guidelines will have some federalism effects. These affects are discussed in the Access Board's regulatory assessment, which also applies to the Department's proposed rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Without this amendment to the Department's ADA regulations, regulated entities will be subject to confusion and delay as they attempt to sort out the requirements of conflicting design standards. This amendment should eliminate the costs and risks associated with that process.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services; Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities; Accessibility Standards; Recreation Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 9, 1999, the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), which form the basis of the Department's ADA Standards for Accessible Design. After receiving public comments, the Access Board published a summary of proposed changes to the guidelines for public comment on July 21, 2000.  This NPRM would, for the first time, establish accessibility guidelines for the design of recreation facilities, such as health clubs, golf courses, and amusement parks. The ADA (sections 204(c) and 306(c)) requires the Department's accessibility standards to be consistent with the Access Board's guidelines. Therefore, the Department expects to publish a NPRM proposing to adopt the revisions proposed by the Access Board and proposing related changes to the Department's regulations with respect to the operation of recreation facilities.

Individuals with disabilities cannot participate in the social and economic realms of the Nation without being able to access public entities and public accommodations throughout the country. Promulgating this amendment to the Department's ADA regulations will ensure that the regulations are consistent with the Access Board's ADA Accessibility Guidelines, thereby preventing the confusion that could develop if the Department's regulations were inconsistent with the Access Board guidelines. In addition, amending the Department's ADA regulations will improve the Department's overarching goal of improving access for persons with disabilities. The proposed rule will ensure that new recreation facilities are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. As new recreation facilities are designed and constructed to be accessible, individuals with disabilities will enjoy the benefits of these facilities. Operators of recreation facilities will experience increased usage and patronage by individuals with disabilities. Designers and manufacturers will have a clear and consistent set of standards with which to work. Establishing uniform standards for accessibility has resulted in innovation and new designs that are cost effective and beneficial to everyone.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 Complaint Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA)--enacted as part of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1998--made various changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act (the INA) relating to temporary nonimmigrant professionals. In this rule (RIN 1190-AA48), the Department's Office of Special Counsel for Unfair Immigration-Related Employment Practices (OSC) will implement the ACWIA "failure to select" protections--codified in the INA at section 212(n)(5)--by establishing a process under which U.S. workers may file complaints against employers for denying them employment opportunities by improperly hiring temporary foreign professionals on H-1B visas. Under this process, OSC may receive and review these complaints, and then--if there is reasonable cause to believe the allegations--initiate binding arbitration proceedings through the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). This rule also includes changes to the regulations of the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer of the Executive Office for Immigration Review to provide for the review of arbitrators' decisions and, where appropriate, the award of administrative relief. These rules are being coordinated with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the Department of Labor (DOL).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Through RIN 1115-AF40 (INS No. 1974-99), INS will implement the ACWIA &quot;whistleblower&quot; protection provisions--codified in the INA at section 212(n)(2)(C)(iv) and (v)--prohibiting retaliation against H-1B workers who disclose information which they believe indicates their employer has violated the law or regulations pertaining to labor condition applications for nonimmigrants. That rule will also enable an H-1B worker who files a complaint alleging retaliation to remain in the United States and seek authorization to work in the United States for a temporary period while his or her complaint is under review.  

Through RIN 1115-AF41 (INS No. 1975-99), INS will implement portions of ACWIA pertaining to new penalties for employers misrepresenting material facts in an H-1B application.  That rule complements regulations issued by the Department of Labor (DOL). It also defines the term &quot;United States employer&quot; and implements other provisions of ACWIA.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Procedures Advising States and Political Subdivisions Specially Covered Under the Voting Rights Act How To Seek Preclearance From the Attorney General of Proposed Voting Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 requires that certain States and their political subdivisions (covered jurisdictions) obtain "preclearance" from the Federal Government of proposed changes in voting practices and procedures prior to their implementation.  Preclearance may be obtained either through litigation in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or administratively from the Attorney General.  In 1971 the Department first issued procedures for the administration of section 5 to inform covered jurisdictions concerning the manner in which they could comply with section 5 in the administrative proceeding before the Attorney General.  In subsequent years, the Department has amended these procedures to reflect changes in section 5 law, in the Attorney General's internal practices, and to make the procedures clearer and easier to follow.  In the 14 years since the last major amendment to the procedures, there have been significant changes in section 5 law and in the practices employed by the Department in processing submissions, which are not reflected in the existing Procedures.  

The proposed revisions will: (1) Simplify the submission process for section 5 subjurisdictions; (2) clarify the matters that are subject to section 5 review; (3) provide greater definition to the operation of the 60-day review requirement and the permissible responses of the Attorney General to a section 5 submission; (4) clarify access to section 5 records of persons outside the Department; and (5) make technical corrections to the delegation of authority to make preclearance decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Coordination of Enforcement of Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs--Implementation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice proposes to make amendments to its coordination regulations concerning agency enforcement of title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 28 CFR 42.401 to 42.415, and agency enforcement of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972, 28 CFR 41.1 to 41.58.  In 1998, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504.  The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes.  The proposed amendments explicitly incorporate the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI and section 504 coordination regulations.  The Department's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking which will include similar amendments to the regulations of the Department of Defense and the Department of Housing and Urban Development implementing title VI, section 504, and/or the Age Discrimination Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act).  Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.  In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act.  The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes.  The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations.  The Department's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This amendment revises the Department's regulation implementing title II to clarify the requirement for installation of curb ramps at existing pedestrian walkways and to extend the time period for compliance beyond the current deadline of January 26, 1995. This amendment responds to public concerns about the unique and significant capital expense involved in the installation of curb ramps. 

The amendment establishes a two-tier system under which public entities would be required to provide access to pedestrian walkways serving government offices, public transportation, public accommodations, places of employment, and the residences of individuals with disabilities by a specified date. Access to existing pedestrian walkways in other areas would be required by a later date. The rule requires public entities to include a schedule for the implementation of these requirements in their transition plans. (The Civil Rights Division is considering establishing the dates of January 26, 2003, and January 26, 2005, for this purpose in the final rule.)]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The labor certification process has been described as being complicated, costly and time consuming.  Due to the increases in the volume of applications received and a lack of adequate resources, it can take up to 2 years or more to complete processing an application.  The process also requires substantial State and Federal resources to administer and is reportedly costly and burdensome to employers as well.  Cuts in Federal funding for both the permanent labor certification program and the U.S. Employment Service have made it difficult for State and Federal administrators to keep up with the process.  ETA, therefore, is taking steps to improve effectiveness of the various regulatory requirements and the application processing procedures, with a view to achieving savings in resources both for the government and employers, without diminishing protections now afforded U.S. workers by the current regulatory and administrative requirements.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will formally establish a comprehensive system for helping ensure continuous improvement in UI operational performance. It will enunciate as the system's building blocks principles for Federal and State cooperation, key nationwide performance measures, criteria distinguishing satisfactory from unsatisfactory performance, an annual planning process, and actions which the Department may take when a State fails to perform satisfactorily.

The UI PERFORMS Regulation is consistent with the Administration's and the Secretary's emphasis on improved grants management.  It is needed now to help complete the development and implementation of the UI PERFORMS system and will replace other regulations, two of which establish Secretary's Standards for first payment and lower appeals timeliness.  Until those regulations have been replaced the related UI PERFORMS measures and criteria cannot be put in place.  It will also establish a definitive framework for enforcing, if necessary, the elements and performance standards established as parts of the UI PERFORMS  system. Until the regulation is in place, UI PERFORMS will remain incomplete.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Senior Community Service Employment Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Employment and Training Administration will implement new regulations to govern the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) under title V of the Older Americans Act Amendments of 2000.  SCSEP is the only Federally sponsored job creation program targeted to low-income older Americans.  The program subsidizes part-time community service jobs for low-income persons age 55 years and older who have poor employment prospects.  Approximately 100,000 program enrollees annually work in a wide variety of community service jobs, including nurse's aides, teacher aides, librarians, clerical workers and day care assistants.  The Department of Labor allocates funds to operate the program to State agencies on aging and to national organizations.  

Proposed regulations will: 

--improve integration of SCSEP with the broader workforce investment system; 
--establish an enhanced performance accountability system to hold each grantee accountable for attaining quality levels of performance with respect to core measures, such as customer satisfaction and placement in unsubsidized employment;  
--improve the ability of States to coordinate services, by providing for the broad participation of stakeholders in the development of an annual plan to ensure an equitable distribution   of projects within the State; 
--strengthen administrative procedures by incorporating fiscal   accountability provisions similar to the Workforce Investment Act, including definitions of administrative and programmatic   costs and the application of uniform cost principles; and 
--revise the distribution of funding.]]></ABSTRACT>

New interim final regulations are being issued to implement changes made by the Welfare-to-Work and Child Support Amendments of 1999 and other legislation.  The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 authorized the Department to extend welfare-to-work grants an additional two years.  Therefore, the grants may operate until September 2004.

The Department received 14 comments and none would substantively change the regulations.  The Department will provide guidance in response to those comments.  The Interim Final Rule is the final.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Labor Certification and Petition Process for the Temporary Employment of Nonimmigrant Aliens in Agriculture in the United States; Modification of Fee Structure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the Department of Labor (Department or DOL) proposes to amend its regulations relating to the temporary employment of nonimmigrant agricultural workers (H-2A workers) in the United States. The proposed amendments would require employers to submit fees for labor certification and the associated H-2A petitions with consolidated application form at the time of filing. The proposal also would modify the fee structure for labor certification. If the application is denied, both fees will be refunded to the employer. It is conceivable in rare instances that the statutory and regulatory standards for issuance of the certification will be met, but those applicable to the petition will not be met. In such occurrence, neither fee will be refunded because the certification fee is an issuance, while the petition fee is a processing fee.

The Department published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) at 65 FR 43545 (July 13, 2000).  Because of the continuing interest in the proposal, the Department published at 65 FR 50170 (August 17, 2000) a proposed rule reopening and extending the comment period on the July 13, 2000, NPRM.  The comments received as a result of this reopening and extension of the comment period did not provide sufficient information to permit the Department to draft a final rule concerning a number of issues raised by commenters.  Consequently, the Department intends to publish a proposed rule to again reopen and extend the comment period on the July 13, 2000, NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendments will allow employers the option of submitting LCAs electronically, utilizing Web-based forms and instructions.  The electronic filing system will be convenient and less burdensome for employers, since, unlike a system based on filing applications by facsimile transmission or by mail, the new system will allow the filing of an applications without the submission of a "hard copy."   Submission by mail or fax will continue to be permitted for employers who prefer one of those formats.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Labor Certification and Petition Process for the Temporary Employment of Nonimmigrant Aliens in Agriculture in the U.S.: Delegation of Authority to Adjudication Petitions; Deferral of Effective Date</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) published a final rule in this rulemaking in the Federal Register at 65 FR 43538 (July 13, 2000), with an effective date of November 13, 2000, implementing a delegation of authority from the INS to the Department of adjudicate petitions for the temporary employment of nonimmigrant aliens in agriculture in the United States.  Concurrently, the INS published a final rule at 65 FR 43528 (July 13, 2000) with an effective date of November 13, 2000, transferring to the Secretary of Labor the authority to adjudicate petitions for temporary agricultural workers and the authority to decide appeals on these decisions and to make determinations for revocation of petition approvals.

Subsequently, the INS at 65 FR 67616 (November 13, 2000) published a final rule and DOL at 65 FR 67628 (November 13, 2000) published an interim final rule (IFR) deferring the effective dates of their final rules.  The Department in its IFR invited comments on the deferral of the effective date.  No comments were received by DOL on the deferral of the effective date.

The Department also reopened and extended the comment period at 65 FR 50170 (August 17, 2000) on a companion notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published at 65 FR 43545 (July 13, 2000) setting forth implementation measures necessary to the successful implementation of the delegation of authority to adjudicate petitions.  The comments received as a result of this reopening and extension of the comment period did not provide sufficient information to permit the Department to draft a final rule concerning a number of issues raised by commenters.  Consequently, the Department intends to publish a proposed rule to again reopen and extend the comment period on the July 13, 2000, NPRM.

Finalizing the proposed rule is essential to the effective implementation of any delegation of authority to DOL to adjudicate petitions for temporary employment of nonimmigrant aliens in the United States.  Therefore, the Department has determined to defer the effective date of the July 13, 2000, final rule for 1 year, which should be sufficient time to complete the rulemaking on the companion NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disaster Unemployment Assistance Program Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1995, ETA published an interim final rule that clarified and removed undue restrictions in the existing regulations implementing the Disaster Unemployment Assistance Program. This rule revised all of part 625. Its withdrawal from the current agenda reflects a postponement of additional rulemaking due to higher agency priorities. (See RIN 1205-AB02.) This new rule on the Disaster Unemployment Assistance Program will only address one aspect of part 625; it adds a definition of "unemployment is a direct result of the major disaster." ETA had not defined this term in its previous rule.  The purpose of the new definition is to clarify eligibility for disaster unemployment assistance in the wake of the major disasters as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers--Transitional Adjustment Assistance NAFTA-TAA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title V of the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (NAFTA) (PL 103-182) amends chapter 2 of title II of the Trade Act of 1974 by adding a new NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance Program (NAFTA-TAA) for workers who lose their jobs because of increased imports from or a shift of production to Mexico and Canada. Most of the provisions of title V are in the form of amendments to chapter 2, title II, of the Trade Act. While some of the provisions are not in the form of amendments to the Trade Act they nonetheless must be given effect in implementing the NAFTA-TAA program. A proposed rule to amend the regulations on the trade adjustment assistance program for workers was published in the Federal Register on January 17, 1995.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The base funding of ETA immigration programs has been reduced by 30 percent since FY 1995. The fee proceeds would be used to offset the costs of administering the alien labor certification program at the State and Regional levels. ETA has worked with the States and Regional Offices and reduced the number of queued cases from 92,000 to 66,000 at the State level. The number of cases on the Regional level is 21,000.  However, there was a one time reinstatement of section 245(i) as part of the LIFE legislation and this increased the queued permanent cases by 235,000 applications over the 60,000 permanent applications received in FY 2001. The regular appropriation, plus the user fees, will be necessary to work off the cases in the pipeline and become current.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Welfare-to-Work (WTW) Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Employment and Training Administration published interim final regulations on November 18, 1997, implementing the Welfare-to-Work Grants Program. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act reformed the Nation's welfare laws, when enacted in August 1996, by creating a new system of block grants to the States for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Moving people from welfare to work is one of the primary goals of Federal welfare policy. Section 5001 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 authorized the Department of Labor to provide Welfare-to-Work Grants to States and local communities to create additional job opportunities for the hardest-to-employ recipients of TANF and certain noncustodial parents. The Welfare-to-Work Grants were provided to the States through the use of a formula, and in a competitive process to local communities. A small amount of total grant funds were set aside for special purposes: one percent for Indian tribes; and 0.8 percent for evaluation.

Guidance and regulations reflect minimal amplification of the law and provide further information or clarification as needed to make the program operational. Existing regulations and systems are used wherever possible. Reporting requirements will assure program integrity and provide timely information for tracking performance.  Leveraging of non-Federal resources at the State and local level is encouraged. 

These funds have allowed States and local communities to help move eligible individuals into jobs by: job creation through public or private sector wage subsidies; on-the-job training; short-term vocational educational training and job training; contracts with public or private providers of job readiness, job placement, and post-employment services; job vouchers for similar services; community service or work experience; or job retention and supportive services (if such services are not otherwise available).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Labor Certification Process for the Permanent Employment of Aliens in the United States; Refiling of Applications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations relating to the permanent employment of aliens in the United States. The proposed amendments would permit employers to request that any labor certification application for permanent employment filed prior to a certain date and which has not been sent to the regional certifying officer to be processed as a reduction in recruitment request, provided recruitment has not been conducted pursuant to the permanent labor certification regulations. ETA anticipates that proposed amendment would reduce the backlog of labor certification application for permanent employment in State Employment Security Agencies.

This measure to reduce backlogs would result in a variety of desirable benefits, including a reduction in government resources necessary to process applications for alien employment certification a reduction in processing time for both new application and those applications currently in the queue, and would facilitate the development and implementation of a new, more efficient system for processing labor certification applications for permanent employment in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Collective Bargaining Agreement (ERISA Section 3(40))</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulation will establish standards for determining whether an employee benefit plan is established or maintained under or pursuant to one or more collective bargaining agreements for purposes of its exclusion from the Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement (MEWA) definition in section 3(40) of ERISA, and thus exempted from State regulation. The regulation will clarify the scope of the exception from the MEWA definition for plans established or maintained under or pursuant to one or more collective bargaining agreements by providing criteria which will serve to distinguish welfare benefit arrangements which are maintained by legitimate unions pursuant to bona fide collective bargaining agreements from insurance arrangements promoted and marketed under the guise of ERISA-covered plans exempt from State insurance regulation. The regulation will also serve to limit the extent to which plans maintained pursuant to bona fide collective bargaining agreements may extend plan coverage to individuals not covered by such agreements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act of 1996 (NMHPA) was enacted on September 26, 1996 (PL 104-204). NMHPA amended the Public Health Service Act (PHSA) and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (ERISA) to provide protection for mothers and their newborn children with regard to the length of hospital stays following the birth of a child. NMHPA provisions are set forth in title XXVII of the PHSA and part 7 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA. This rulemaking will provide further guidance with regard to the provisions of the NMHPA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These interim final rules govern certain reporting requirements under title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) for multiple employer welfare arrangements (MEWAs) that provide benefits consisting of medical care. In part, the rules implement recent changes made to ERISA by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The rules also set forth elements that MEWAs would be required to file with the Department of Labor for the purpose of determining compliance with the portability nondiscrimination, renewability and other requirements of part 7 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA including the requirements of the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 and the Newborns' and Mothers' Protection Act of 1996. The rules provide guidance with respect to section 502(c)(5) of ERISA which authorizes the Secretary of Labor to assess a civil penalty of up to $1,000 a day for failure to comply with the new reporting requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will remove from the CFR certain regulations that have been superseded by amendments to title I of ERISA effected by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (PL 105-34) that eliminate the requirement for plan administrators to file summary plan descriptions (SPDs), summaries of material modifications (SMMs), and updated SPDs with the Department of Labor. Under the amendments plan administrators must continue to furnish participants and beneficiaries with copies of these documents. Separate rulemakings (RINs 1210-AA67 and 1210-AA68) will implement the Taxpayer Relief Act amendments that require plan administrators to furnish copies of SPDs and any other documents relating to the plan to the Department on request, and authorize the Secretary of Labor to assess a civil penalty for failure to do so.]]></ABSTRACT>

In particular, this rulemaking will implement the amendments that authorize the Secretary of Labor to assess a civil penalty of up to $100 a day, up to a maximum of $1,000 per request, against a plan administrator who fails to furnish the requested documents on a timely basis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (VFC Program)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 409 of ERISA provides that an employee benefit plan fiduciary who breaches any of the responsibilities, obligations, or duties imposed upon him or her by part 4 of title I of ERISA shall be personally liable to make good to such plan any losses to the plan resulting from each such breach, and to restore to such plan any profits that such fiduciary may have made through use of assets of the plan. The Department has the authority under section 504 of ERISA to conduct investigations to deter and correct violations of title I of ERISA and under section 502(a)(2) and 502(a)(5) to bring civil actions to enforce the provisions thereof. Section 502(l) of ERISA requires the assessment of a civil penalty in an amount equal to 20 percent of the applicable recovery amount with respect to any breach of fiduciary responsibility under (or other violation of) part 4 by a fiduciary. 

To encourage and facilitate voluntary correction of certain breaches of fiduciary responsibility, PWBA is adopting a Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (VFC Program). Under the VFC Program, plan officials will be relieved of the possibility of investigation and civil action by the Department and imposition of civil penalties, to the extent that plan officials satisfy the conditions for correcting breaches described in the program.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Participation in the VFC Program is entirely voluntary and, as such, it is assumed that plan officials will elect to participate only when the potential benefits to them are expected to exceed the costs of participation.  Benefits may include the reduction of exposure to the risk of investigation and subsequent litigation, the potential cost of which cannot be specifically quantified, and the savings of penalties under section 502(1) of ERISA which would otherwise be payable on amounts required to be restored to plans by fiduciaries pursuant to a settlement agreement with the Department or court order.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Failure to adopt the VFC Program would deprive plan officials of significant opportunities to voluntarily correct fiduciary breaches and to avoid costly litigation and civil penalties.  Because the VFC Program encourages and facilitates compliance with the law, failure to implement the VFC Program may serve as a disincentive to the proper management of employee benefit plans.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibiting Discrimination Against Participants and Beneficiaries Based on Health Status</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 702 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, amended by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), establishes that a group health plan or a health insurance issuer may not establish rules for eligibility (including continued eligibility) of any individual to enroll under the terms of the plan based on any health status-related factor. These provisions are also contained in the Internal Revenue Code under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Treasury, and the Public Health Service Act under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health and Human Services. 

On April 8, 1997, the Department, in conjunction with the Departments of the Treasury and Health and Human Services (collectively, the Departments) published interim final regulations implementing the nondiscrimination provisions of HIPAA. These regulations can be found at 26 CFR 54.9802-1 (Treasury), 29 CFR 2590.702 (Labor), and 45 146.121 (HHS). That notice of rulemaking also solicited comments on the nondiscrimination provisions and indicated that the Departments intend to issue further regulations on the nondiscrimination rules. This rulemaking contains additional regulatory interim guidance under HIPAA's nondiscrimination provisions.  In addition, the rulemaking contains proposed guidance on bona fide wellness programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program (DFVC Program)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under ERISA section 502(c)(2) the Secretary of Labor is authorized to assess civil penalties of up to $1100 per day against plan administrators who fail or refuse to file complete and timely Form 5500 Series Annual Returns/Reports.  The Secretary may waive all or part of the civil penalty upon showing by the plan administrator of reasonable cause for failure to file a timely annual report.  The Department determined that the possible assessment of these civil penalties may deter certain delinquent filers from voluntarily complying with the annual reporting requirements under title I of ERISA and adopted, on April 27, 1995, the Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance (DFVC) Program which was published as a Federal Register rule-related notice (60 FR 20874).  The DFVC Program permits delinquent plan administrators, who are otherwise subject to the assessment of higher civil penalties under ERISA section 502(c)(2), to pay reduced civil penalties for voluntarily complying with their annual reporting obligations under title I of ERISA.

PWBA is adopting modifications to the DFVC Program to further encourage and facilitate voluntary compliance by plan administrators who are delinquent in filing annual reports under title I of ERISA.  The modifications will also simplify the procedures governing participation in the DFVC Program and conform the program's provisions to the ERISA Filing Acceptance System (EFAST).]]></ABSTRACT>

The Department has published an interim rule setting forth the procedures for the assessment of penalties under ERISA section 502(l) and for petitioning the Secretary to exercise his or her discretion to waive or reduce the mandated assessment, as well as a proposed rule that defines the following pivotal terms contained in section 502(l): "applicable recovery amount," "breach of fiduciary responsibility or violation," "settlement agreement," and "court order."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defining and Delimiting the Term &quot;Any Employee Employed in a Bona Fide Executive, Administrative, or Professional Capacity&quot; (ESA/W-H)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations set forth the criteria for exemption from the Fair Labor Standards Act's minimum wage and overtime requirements for "executive," "administrative," "professional" and "outside sales employees." To be exempt, employees must meet certain tests relating to duties and responsibilities and be paid on a salary basis at specified levels. A final rule increasing the salary test levels was published on January 13, 1981 (46 FR 3010), to become effective on February 13, 1981, but was indefinitely stayed on February 12, 1981 (46 FR 11972). On March 27, 1981, a proposal to suspend the final rule indefinitely was published (46 FR 18998), with comments due by April 28, 1981. As a result of numerous comments and petitions from industry groups on the duties and responsibilities tests, and as a result of case law developments, the Department concluded that a more comprehensive review of these regulations was needed. An ANPRM reopening the comment period and broadening the scope of review to include all aspects of the regulations was published on November 19, 1985, with the comment period subsequently extended to March 22, 1986. 

The Department has revised these regulations since the ANPRM to address specific issues. In 1991, as the result of an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the regulations were revised to permit certain computer systems analysts, computer programmers, software engineers, and other similarly skilled professional employees to qualify for the exemption, including those paid on an hourly basis if their rates of pay exceed 6 1/2 times the applicable minimum wage. Also, in 1992 the Department issued a final rule which modified the exemption's requirement for payment on a "salary basis" for otherwise exempt public sector employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[These regulations contain the criteria used to determine if an employee is exempt from the FLSA as an "executive," "administrative," "professional," or "outside sales" employee. The existing salary test levels used in determining which employees qualify as exempt were adopted in 1975 on an interim basis. These salary level tests are outdated and offer little practical guidance in applying the exemption. In addition, numerous comments and petitions have been received from industry groups regarding the duties and responsibilities tests in the regulations, requesting a review of these regulations. 

These regulations have been revised to deal with specific issues. In 1991, as the result of an amendment to the FLSA, the regulations were revised to permit certain computer systems analysts, computer programmers, software engineers, and other similarly skilled professional employees to qualify for the exemption, including those paid on an hourly basis if their rates of pay exceed 6 1/2 times the applicable minimum wage. Also in 1991, the Department undertook separate rulemaking on another aspect of the regulations, the definition of "salary basis" for public-sector employees. Because of the limited nature of these revisions, the regulations are still in need of updating and clarification.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[These regulations are issued under the statutory exemption from minimum wage and overtime pay provided by section 13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 USC 213(a)(1), which requires the Secretary of Labor to issue regulations that define and delimit the terms "any employee employed in a bona fide, executive, administrative, or professional capacity..., or in the capacity of outside salesman...," for purposes of applying the exemption to employees who meet the specified criteria.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Department will involve affected interest groups in developing regulatory alternatives. Following completion of these outreach and consultation activities, full regulatory alternatives will be developed. 

Although legislative proposals have been introduced in Congress to address certain aspects of these regulations, the Department continues to believe revisions to the regulations are the appropriate response to the concerns raised. Alternatives likely to be considered range from particular changes to address "salary basis" and salary level issues to a comprehensive overhaul of the regulations that also addresses the duties and responsibilities tests.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Some 32 million employees are estimated to be within the scope of these regulations. Legal developments in court cases are changing the guiding interpretations under this exemption and creating law without considering a comprehensive analytical approach to current compensation concepts and workplace practices. Clear, comprehensive, and up-to-date regulations would provide for central, uniform control over the application of these regulations and ameliorate many concerns. In the public sector, State and local government employers contend that the rules are based on production workplace environments from the 1940s and 1950s that do not readily adapt to contemporary government functions. The Federal Government also has concerns regarding the manner in which the courts and arbitration decisions are applying the exemption to the Federal workforce. Resolution of confusion over how the regulations are to be applied in the public sector will ensure that employees are protected, that employers are able to comply with their responsibilities under the law, and that the regulations are enforceable. Preliminary estimates of the specific costs and benefits of this regulatory action will be developed once the various regulatory alternatives are identified.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, signed on October 13, 1994, amended several Acts administered by the Department of Labor: (1) the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA) to limit its applicability to contracts in an amount of $100,000 or greater; (2) the Davis-Bacon Act (DB) to provide waivers from the Act's prevailing wage requirements under selected laws for volunteers performing services to a State or local government or agency and for volunteers performing services to a public or private nonprofit recipient of Federal assistance; and (3) the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act (PCA) to eliminate the requirements that contractors on covered contracts be either manufacturers or regular dealers in the items to be supplied under the contract but retains the Secretary of Labor's authority to define the terms "regular dealer" and "manufacturer." A final rule implementing the CWHSSA and PCA changes was published on August 5, 1996 (61 FR 40714).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the 1996 Amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The "Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996" (H.R. 3448) was enacted on August 20, 1996, as Public Law 104-188. Title II of this enactment amended the Portal-to-Portal Act (PA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The PA amendment excludes (under certain circumstances) from compensable "hours worked" the time spent by an employee in home-to-work travel in an employer-provided vehicle. The FLSA amendments: (1) increase the $4.25 Federal minimum hourly wage by $.90 in two steps over two years (i.e., to $4.75 on October 1, 1996, and to $5.15 on September 1, 1997); (2) provide a $4.25 subminimum wage for youth under age 20 in their first 90 calendar days of employment with an employer; (3) set the employer's direct wage payment obligation for tipped employees at $2.13 per hour (provided such employees receive the balance of the full minimum wage in tips); and (4) set the hourly compensation requirements at not less than $27.63 per hour for certain exempt professional employees in computer-related occupations. Changes will be required in the regulations to reflect these amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OFCCP proposes to amend the regulations implementing the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) 38 USC 4212, to conform with the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (the Act) of 1998 and the Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000 (VBHCIA). The Act and VBHCIA of 2000 increase the current threshold for coverage from $10,000 to $25,000. The Act and VBHCIA of 2000 expand the existing definition of Veterans, i.e., special disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam Era, to include recently separated veterans and any other veterans who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized. Recently separated veterans means any veteran during the one-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Worker Economic Opportunity Act, Public Law 106-202 (May 18, 2000), amended section 7(e) of the Fair Labor Standards Act to clarify how certain employer-provided stock option programs are to be treated for purposes of overtime pay.  Certain programs meeting prescribed criteria would not have to be factored into the "regular rate" otherwise required when calculating "time-and-one-half" overtime premium pay for overtime hours of work.  The legislation calls for regulations to be promulgated as necessary, which will include amendments to some of the existing regulations on overtime pay.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will implement E.O. 13201 which requires Government contractors and subcontractors to post notices informing their employees that (1) under Federal law they cannot be required to join a union or maintain membership in a union to retain their jobs, and (2) employees who choose not to be union members may object to the use of their compulsory union dues and fees for activities other than collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment, and may be entitled to a refund and an appropriate reduction in their future payments. The proposed regulation, in accordance with E.O. 13201, will also require that, where applicable, each Government contracting agency include certain provisions of the Order in its Government contracts, and that Government contractors and subcontractors include these provisions in their nonexempt subcontracts and purchase orders.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The only costs that Federal contractors will incur are for (1) posting the notice and (2) applying for waivers from the posting requirement.  These will be minimal since (1) under the proposed regulation, the Department will supply the posters, and (2) the Department's experience under similar posting requirements is that few contractors request waivers.  The benefits of the Executive order and the implementing regulation are the promotion of economy and efficiency in Government procurement by having workers who are informed of their rights regarding union membership and the use of union dues and fees.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 3(l) of the Fair Labor Standards Act requires the Secretary of Labor to issue regulations with respect to minors between 14 and 16 years of age ensuring that the periods and conditions of their employment do not interfere with their schooling, health, or well-being. The Secretary is also directed to designate occupations that are particularly hazardous for minors 16 and 17 years of age. Child Labor Regulation No. 3 sets forth the permissible industries and occupations in which 14- and 15-year-olds may be employed, and specifies the number of hours in a day and in a week, and time periods within a day, that such minors may be employed. The Department has invited public comment in considering whether changes in technology in the workplace and job content over the years require new hazardous occupation orders, and whether changes are needed in some of the applicable hazardous occupation orders. Comment has also been solicited on whether revisions should be considered in the permissible hours and time-of-day standards for 14- and 15-year-olds. Comment has been sought on appropriate changes required to implement school-to-work transition programs. Additionally, Congress enacted Public Law 104-174 (August 6, 1996), which amended FLSA section 13(c) and requires changes in the regulations under Hazardous Occupation Order No. 12 regarding power-driven paper balers and compactors, to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to load, but not operate or unload, machines meeting applicable American National Standards Institute (ANSI) safety standards and certain other conditions.  Congress also passed the Drive for Teen Employment Act, Public Law 105-334 (October 31, 1998), which prohibits minors under age 17 from driving automobiles and trucks on public roads on the job and sets criteria for 17-year-olds to drive such vehicles on public roads on the job.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Because of changes in the workplace and the introduction of new processes and technologies, the Department is undertaking a comprehensive review of the regulatory criteria applicable to child labor. Other factors necessitating a review of the child labor regulations are changes in places where young workers find employment opportunities, the existence of differing Federal and State standards, and the divergent views on how best to correlate school and work experiences. 

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Secretary of Labor is directed to provide by regulation or by order for the employment of youth between 14 and 16 years of age under periods and conditions which will not interfere with their schooling, health and well-being. The Secretary is also directed to designate occupations that are particularly hazardous for youth between the ages of 16 and 18 years or detrimental to their health or well-being. The Secretary has done so by specifying, in regulations, the permissible industries and occupations in which 14- and 15-year-olds may be employed, and the number of hours per day and week and the time periods within a day in which they may be employed. In addition, these regulations designate the occupations declared particularly hazardous for minors between 16 and 18 years of age or detrimental to their health or well-being. 

Public comment has been invited in considering whether changes in technology in the workplace and job content over the years require new hazardous occupation orders or necessitate revision to some of the existing hazardous orders. Comment has also been invited on whether revisions should be considered in the permissible hours and time-of-day standards for the employment of 14- and 15-year-olds, and whether revisions should be considered to facilitate school-to-work transition programs. When issuing the regulatory proposals (after review of public comments on the advance notice of proposed rulemaking), the Department's focus was on assuring healthy, safe and fair workplaces for young workers, and at the same time promoting job opportunities for young people and making regulatory standards less burdensome to the regulated community.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[These regulations are issued under sections 3(1), 11, 12, and 13 of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 USC sections 203(1), 211, 212, and 213 which require the Secretary of Labor to issue regulations prescribing permissible time periods and conditions of employment for minors between 14 and 16 years old so as not to interfere with their schooling, health, or well-being, and to designate occupations that are particularly hazardous or detrimental to the health or well-being of minors under 18 years old.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Regulatory alternatives developed based on recent legislation and the public comments responding to the advance notice of proposed rulemaking included specific proposed additions or modifications to the paper baler, teen driving, explosive materials, and roofing hazardous occupation orders, and proposed changes to the permissible cooking activities that 14- and 15-year-olds may perform in retail establishments.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Preliminary estimates of the anticipated costs and benefits of this regulatory action indicated that the rule was not economically significant. Benefits will include safer working environments and the avoidance of injuries with respect to young workers.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The child labor regulations, by ensuring that permissible job opportunities for working youth are safe and healthy and not detrimental to their education as required by the statute, produce positive benefits by reducing health and productivity costs employers may otherwise incur from higher accident and injury rates to young and inexperienced workers. Given the limited nature of the changes in the proposed rule, a detailed assessment of the magnitude of risk was not prepared.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Labor Condition Applications and Requirements for Employers Using Nonimmigrants on H-1B Visas in Specialty Occupations and as Fashion Models</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The H-1B visa program of the Immigration and Nationality Act allows employers to temporarily employ nonimmigrants admitted into the United States under the H-1B visa category in specialty occupations and as fashion models, under specified labor conditions.  An employer must file a labor condition application with the Department of Labor before the Immigration and Naturalization Service may approve a petition to employ a foreign worker on an H-1B visa.  The Department's Employment and Training Administration administers the labor condition application process; the Wage and Hour Division of the Department's Employment Standards Administration handles complaints and investigations regarding labor condition applications.  The Department published a proposed rule on January 5, 1999, in response to statutory changes in the H-1B program made by the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (Title IV, Pub. L. 105-277; Oct. 21, 1998).  Those changes placed additional obligations on "H-1B-dependent" employers (generally, those with work forces comprised of more than 15 percent H-1B workers) and on willful violators.  These employers must recruit for U.S. workers, hire U.S. workers who are at least as qualified as H-1B workers, and not displace U.S. workers by hiring H-1B workers or placing them at another employer's job site.  The 1998 amendments also imposed additional obligations on all H-1B employers, such as offering benefits to H-1B workers on the same basis and according to the same criteria as offered to U.S. workers, and payment to H-1B workers during periods they are not working for an employment-related reason.  The 1999 proposed rule also requested further public comment on earlier proposed provisions published in October 1995, and on particular interpretations of the statute and of the existing regulations which the Department proposed to incorporate into the regulations.  Since publishing the proposed rule, Congress enacted further amendments to the H-1B provisions under the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 (Pub.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Statutory amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act relating to the H-1B visa program were enacted in 1998 and again in 2000.  Under the H-1B visa program, employers may temporarily employ nonimmigrants admitted into the U.S. under H-1B visas in specialty occupations and as fashion models, provided certain conditions are met.  Section 412(d) of the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (Title IV of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999, Public Law 105-277), provides that some of the amendments made by the 1998 legislation (those relating to "H-1B-dependent" employers and willful violators) do not take effect until the Department of Labor issues implementing regulations, which are the subject of this rulemaking.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule is issued pursuant to provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, and the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998, 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), 1182(n), and 1184; sec. 303(a)(8), Pub. L. 102-232 (8 U.S.C. 1182 note); and secs. 412(d) and (e), Pub. L. 105-277.  The objectives of the rule are to enable employers to understand and comply with applicable requirements of the amended H-1B visa program, and to advise employees and applicants for employment of the protections afforded by the amendments to U.S. and H-1B workers.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Various regulatory alternatives were considered during the notice-and-comment period for implementing the statutory provisions, as discussed in the preamble to the December 2000 interim final rule.  Alternatives considered included, among others, various approaches to the manner and timing for determining H-1B dependency status (and the meaning of "full-time equivalent employees" (FTEs) in the employer's work force), documentation of the dependency determination and designation of such status on the Labor Condition Application, and implementing the requirements for no "displacement" and recruitment of U.S. workers, payment of required wages and benefits to H-1B and U.S. workers, and determining short-term placement options.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Department concluded that the anticipated costs and benefits of this rule were not economically significant.  This conclusion was based on the analysis that the direct, incremental costs that employers would incur because of the rule that were above customary business expenses associated with recruiting qualified job applicants and retaining qualified employees in specialized jobs would not exceed $100 million per year or otherwise trigger "economic significance" under Executive Order 12866.  However, because of the importance of the rule to the public, it was treated as a significant regulatory action and was, therefore, reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (PL 104-134) amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (PL 101-410) to require Federal agencies to adjust certain civil money penalties for inflation. The Department is proposing adjustments in the civil money penalties that may be assessed under section 16(e) of the Fair Labor Standards Act for (1) repeated or willful violations of the minimum wage or overtime provisions; and (2) child labor violations. Any increase in the penalty amounts shall apply only to violations which occur after the effective date of the increase.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NPRM would remove the obligation to visit an establishment during a compliance check, which is currently required by Section 60-1.20(a)(3) in order to enhance efficiency in resource allocation.  OFCCP proposes also to make the same revision in Section 60-250.60(a)(3) of the regulations implementing the affirmative action provisions of the Vietnam Era Veteran's Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA).  Lastly, OFCCP proposes to conform regulations implementing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, to the compliance evaluation procedures contained in the regulations implementing Executive Order 11246, as amended, and the affirmative action provisions of VEVRAA, both of which expressly authorize OFCCP to use additional investigative procedures to determine a contractor's compliance with the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application of the Fair Labor Standards Act to Domestic Service</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 13(a)(15) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides an exemption from minimum wage and overtime compensation for domestic service employees engaged in providing companionship services. Section 13(b)(21) of the FLSA provides an exemption from overtime compensation for live-in domestic service employees. DOL proposed certain technical amendments to update the regulations, 29 CFR part 552, Application of the Fair Labor Standards Act to Domestic Service, and to clarify the applicability of these exemptions to third-party employers (58 FR 69310). After reviewing the public comments, the Department adopted technical changes to update the regulations, including a revision necessitated by amendments to title II of the Social Security Act under Public Law 103-387 (Social Security Domestic Employment Reform Act) 10/22/94, (see 60 FR 46766) and reopened the public comment period on proposed revisions affecting third-party employers (section 552.109). After further review of the history and background to this exemption, a new proposed rule was published for public comment on 1/19/2001 (66 FR 5481).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Confined Spaces in Construction (Part 1926): Preventing Suffocation/Explosions in Confined Spaces</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In January 1993, OSHA issued a general industry rule to protect employees who enter confined spaces (29 CFR 1910.146). This standard does not apply to the construction industry because of differences in the nature of the worksite in the construction industry. In discussions with the United Steel Workers of America on a settlement agreement for the general industry standard, OSHA agreed to issue a proposed rule to extend confined-space protection to construction workers appropriate to their work environment. One million construction workers are exposed to the hazards of confined space entry each year. OSHA intends to issue a proposed rule addressing this construction industry hazard next year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA has undertaken a review of the ethylene oxide (ETO) standard in accordance with the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act and section 5 of EO 12866. The review has considered the continued need for the rule, the impacts of the rule, comments on the rule received from the public, the complexity of the rule, whether the rule overlaps, duplicates or conflicts with other Federal, State or local regulations, and the degree to which technology, economic conditions or other factors may have changed since the rule was last evaluated. The Agency's findings with respect to this review will be published in a report available to the public in 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electric Power Transmission and Distribution; Electrical Protective Equipment in the Construction Industry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Electrical hazards are a major cause of occupational death in the United States. The annual fatality rate for power line workers is about 50 deaths per 100,000 employees.  The construction industry standard addressing the safety of these workers during the construction of electric power transmission and distribution lines is nearly 30 years old.  OSHA is developing a revision of this standard that will prevent many of these fatalities, add flexibility to the standard, and update and streamline the standard.  In addition, OSHA intends to amend the corresponding standard for general industry so that requirements for work performed during the maintenance of electric power transmission and distribution installations are the same as those for similar work in construction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Beryllium</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA intends to issue a Request for Information and to undertake and support extensive research to elucidate the mechanisms of disease underlying Chronic Beryllium Disease or beryllium sensitization and to identify the best ways of reducing employee exposure to beryllium.  OSHA will also be identifying processes, industries, and kind of businesses that involve the use of beryllium.  This information is necessary if OSHA is to develop a rule to reduce worker exposure to dust or fumes from beryllium metal, metal oxides, or alloys, all of which may cause serious and sometimes fatal lung disease (chronic beryllium disease (CBD), lung cancer, and skin disease).  In 1999, OSHA was petitioned to issue an emergency temporary standard by the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical, and Energy Workers Union (PACE) and others.  The Agency denied this petition but stated its intent to work on a standard to be issued under section 6(b)(5) of the Act to protect workers from beryllium-related disease.  Before OSHA can do so, however, it needs a substantial amount of information on beryllium's toxicity, risks, and patterns of use.  The Request for Information will be designed to obtain this information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hearing Loss Prevention in Construction Workers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA issued a section 6(b)(5) health standard mandating a comprehensive hearing conservation program for noise exposed workers in general industry in 1983. However, a number of recent studies have shown that a large number of construction workers experience work-related hearing loss. In addition, the use of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment to reduce exposures to noise is low in this industry. OSHA intends to issue an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) in 2002, and to initiate stakeholder meetings to gather information on the extent of noise-induced hearing loss among workers in different trades in this industry, current practices to reduce this loss, and additional approaches and protections that could be used to prevent such loss in the future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Elevators, and Conveyors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subpart N addresses hazards associated with various types of hoisting equipment used at construction sites.  Such equipment includes cranes, derricks, hoists, elevators and conveyors.  The existing rule, which dates back to 1971, is based in part on industry consensus standards from 1958, 1968 and 1969.  There have been considerable technological changes since those consensus standards were developed.  Industry consensus standards for derricks and for crawler, truck and locomotive cranes were updated as recently as 1995.  A number of industry stakeholders have asked OSHA to update Subpart N.

OSHA's Subpart N is now 30 years old, and is based in part on industry consensus standards as much as 42 years old.  No changes have been made to the OSHA standard since 1971.  Significant changes have occurred in the industry since the OSHA standard was promulgated.

A cross-section of the industry has stated that there is a need to update Subpart N.  OSHA has determined that the existing rule needs to be revised.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Assigned Protection Factors:  Amendments to the Final Rule on Respiratory Protection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In January 1998, OSHA published the final Respiratory Protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134), except for reserved provisions on assigned protection factors (APFs) and maximum use concentrations (MUCs).  APFs are numbers that describe the effectiveness of the various classes of respirators in reducing employee exposure to airborne contaminants (including particulates, gases, vapors, biological agents, etc.).  Employers, employees, and safety and health professionals use APFs to determine the type of respirator to protect the health of employees in various hazardous environments.  Maximum use concentrations establish the maximum airborne concentration of a contaminant in which a respirator with a given APF may be used.  

Currently, OSHA relies on the APFs developed by NIOSH in the 1980s unless OSHA has assigned a different APF in a substance-specific health standard.  However, many employers follow the more recent APFs published in the industry consensus standard, ANSI Z88.2-1992.  For some classes of respirators, the NIOSH and ANSI APFs vary greatly.

When OSHA published the final Respiratory Protection standard in 1998, it reserved for later rulemaking those provisions of the standard dealing with APFs and MUCs.  This rulemaking action will complete the 1998 standard, reduce compliance confusion among employers, and provide employees with consistent and appropriate respiratory protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[About 5 million employees wear respirators as part of their regular job duties.  Due to inconsistencies between the APFs found in the current industry consensus standard (ANSI Z88.2-1992) and in the NIOSH Respirator Decision Logic, employers, employees, and safety and health professionals are often uncertain about what respirator to select to provide protection against hazardous air contaminants.  Several industry and professional groups have asked OSHA to proceed with this rulemaking to resolve these inconsistencies and provide reliable protection of employees' health in cases where respirators must be worn.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The legal basis for this proposed rule is the determination that assigned protection factors and maximum use concentrations are necessary to complete the final Respiratory Protection standard and provide the full protection of that standard.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[OSHA has considered allowing the current situation to continue, in which OSHA generally enforces NIOSH APFs but many employers follow the more recent consensus standard APFs.  However, allowing the continuation of this situation results in inconsistent enforcement, lack of guidance for employers, and the potential for inadequate employee protection.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[The preamble to the final Respiratory Protection rule (63 FR 1270, Jan. 8, 1998) discusses the significance of the risks potentially associated with the use of respiratory protection.  No independent finding of significant risk will be made for the APF rulemaking, since it only addresses a single provision of the larger rule.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Tuberculosis</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1993, the Labor Coalition to Fight TB in the Workplace petitioned the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to develop an occupational health standard to protect workers who care for or oversee patients or others with active tuberculosis (TB) against the transmission of TB.  After reviewing the available information, OSHA preliminarily concluded that a significant risk of occupational transmission of TB exists for some workers in some work settings and began rulemaking on a proposed standard. Examples of workers at risk of contracting TB as a result of their work are health care workers, detention facility personnel, and homeless shelter employees. On October 17, 1997, OSHA published its proposed standard for occupational exposure to TB (62 FR 54160). The proposed standard would require employers to protect TB-exposed workers using infection control measures that have been shown to be highly effective in reducing or eliminating work-related TB infections.  Such measures include procedures for the early identification of individuals with infectious TB, isolation of individuals with infectious TB using appropriate ventilation, use of respiratory protection in certain situations, and skin testing and training of employees.

After the close of the written comment period for the proposed standard, informal public hearings were held in Washington, DC, Los Angeles, CA, New York City, NY, and Chicago, IL. The post-hearing comment period closed on October 5, 1998.  On June 17, 1999 OSHA reopened the rulemaking record for 90 days to submit the Agency's report on homeless shelters and certain other documents that became available to the Agency after the close of the post-hearing comment period.  During this limited reopening of the rulemaking record, OSHA also requested interested parties to submit comments and data on the Agency's preliminary risk assessment in order to obtain the best, most recent data for providing the most accurate estimates of the occupational risk of tuberculosis.  At the request of Congress, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences (IOM) conducted a study of OSHA's proposal and the need for a TB standard.  That study was completed in January 2001, and concluded that OSHA should move forward with a standard modeled after the CDC guidelines and tailored to the extent of TB risk present in the community.  The IOM study concluded that an OSHA standard was needed to maintain national TB rates among health care and other employees at their current levels and to prevent future outbreaks of multi-drug resistant and other forms of TB among these workers.  OSHA intends to reopen the record to obtain comment on the IOM study and the peer reviewers' comment on the risk assessment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal is being developed through the negotiated rulemaking process.  The rule will update and revise an important but outdated part of OSHA?s shipyard rules.  The original rule was adopted by OSHA in 1971 and has remained unchanged since then.  The negotiated rulemaking committee was convened on October 15, 1996; members of the committee include: OSHA, state government, Federal agency, small and large shipyard employers, and maritime and firefighter union representatives.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Agency is proposing these changes to reduce the burden imposed on the regulated community by these requirements. In this document, substantive changes are proposed for standards that will revise or eliminate duplicative, inconsistent, or unnecessary regulatory requirements without diminishing employee protections.  Phase I of this Standards Improvement process was completed in June 1998 (63 FR 33450).  OSHA plans to initiate Phase III of this project at a future date to address problems in various safety standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to State Plans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act), 29 U.S.C. 667, provides that States that wish to assume responsibility for developing and enforcing their own occupational safety and health standards relating to any occupational safety or health issue may do so by submitting and obtaining Federal approval of a State plan.  A State plan consists of the laws, standards and other regulations, and procedures under which the State operates its occupational safety and health program.  From time to time after initial plan approval, States may make changes to their plans as a result of legislative, regulatory or administrative actions.  If the State makes a change to its plan which differs from the Federal program, the State must notify OSHA of the change to its plan which differs from the Federal program (referred to as a plan supplement).  OSHA then reviews the changes; if they meet the approval criteria OSHA publishes a notice announcing the approval of the change; if the change does not meet the criteria OSHA initiates procedures to reject the change.

OSHA is proposing to amend its regulations regarding State plan changes to streamline the review and approval process and to allow more organizational flexibility in this process.  Changes which are identical to components of the Federal program would not require formal review.  The proposal also would reorganize 29 CFR part 1953  to eliminate repetitive language.  Cross references to part 1953 in the CFR would be changed as necessary to reflect the correct references.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update and Revision of the Exit Routes Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Many Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards were adopted under section 6(a) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act; 29 U.S.C. 655(a)). This section of the OSH Act authorized the Agency, in its first 2 years of existence, to adopt national consensus standards without prior notice and comment. The versions of the consensus standards OSHA adopted are now typically well over 30 years old and have been superseded by newer ones. In addition, many of these old standards were written in technical jargon and were hard for many employers and employees to understand.

To address these problems, OSHA is undertaking a consensus standards initiative to revise OSHA's exit routes (also known as means of egress) standard. The revisions will rewrite the standard in simple, easy-to-understand language that will be easier for employers and employees to follow.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subpart G of 29 CFR part 1926 addresses the types of signs, signals and barricades that must be used in situations such as work areas on highways.  OSHA's rule incorporates a 1971 ANSI standard, known as the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices).  Since the early 1970's, the U.S. Department of Transportation has drafted updates to the MUTCD.  DOT requires all States to comply with its updates.

Several years ago, industry stakeholders asked OSHA to update its standard to reflect new technology and provide more flexibility for compliance.

OSHA has decided to use a Direct Final Rule to update its standard since it anticipates widespread support for and few objections to the change.  The Agency's Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health endorsed using a Direct Final Rule to make this change in its Winter 2000 meeting.

With the current emphasis on rebuilding the Nation's highways and improving safety in work zone areas, OSHA's update is particularly appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The safe and efficient flow of traffic through construction work zones is a major concern to transportation officials, the highway industry and the traveling public.  Today the majority of highway funds are being used on system preservation-type projects (resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, and reconstruction) on the existing highway system; highway construction of this type is at an all time high and will continue for several years to come.  

The fatality rate for highway construction workers is twice the rate for other types of construction trades (DOT FHWA Office of Program Quality Coordination, Sept. 1998).]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The legal basis for this direct final rule is a finding by the Secretary of Labor that the number of highway work zone injuries and fatalities is high and that the outdated OSHA standard may be contributing to this result.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Directorate of Construction has formed a task group to formulate a plan for reducing the number of highway work zone fatalities.  In order for this group to accomplish its mission the standards must reflect new technology and best practices.   Other alternatives, such as compliance assistance and partnership programs, will not achieve these goals.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The overwhelming majority of public roads are currently covered by DOT regulations and their related State traffic control manuals.  Moreover, private roads constitute the minority of total roads, and some local governments extend coverage to these roads.  Accordingly, OSHA will be solely responsible for regulating only a fraction of all highway work.  The costs of compliance for those solely regulated by OSHA will, therefore, be much lower than those estimated for compliance with DOT regulations.  Because DOT has found no significant costs of compliance for revisions of the MUTCD over the years, the costs of compliance for OSHA's direct final rule likewise will not be significant under Executive Order 12866.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA issued a final rule on Longshoring on July 25, 1997 (62 FR 40142). However, in that rule, the Agency reserved provisions related to vertical tandem lifts. Vertical tandem lifts (VTLs) involve the lifting of two or more empty intermodal containers, secured together with twist locks, at the same time. Because some commenters to the record questioned the safety of allowing such tandem lifts and the record did not contain adequate information to allow the Agency to address this issue, OSHA is working with national and international organizations and gathering additional information on the safety of VTLs. The Agency plans to reopen the record for comment before proceeding with a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accreditation of Training Programs for Hazardous Waste Operations (Part 1910)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 (Public Law 99-499) established the criteria under which OSHA was to develop and promulgate the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard. OSHA issued an interim final standard on December 19, 1986 (51 FR 45654) to comply with the law's requirements. OSHA issued a permanent final rule with provisions on training to replace this interim rule on March 9, 1989 (29 CFR 1910.120). 

On December 22, 1987, as part of an omnibus budget reconciliation bill (PL 100-202), Congress amended section 126(d)(3) of SARA to include accreditation of training programs for hazardous waste operations. OSHA issued a proposal on January 26, 1990 (55 FR 2776) addressing this issue. OSHA received public comments following the issuance of the proposal. OSHA also reopened the record in June 1992 to allow additional public comment on an effectiveness of training study that the Agency had conducted. Since that time, OSHA has developed nonmandatory guidelines to address training criteria for hazardous waste workers, and these have been widely adopted.  In addition, the private sector has since established training accreditation procedures.  At this time, the next action in this rulemaking is undetermined.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Indoor Air Quality in the Workplace</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The health of American workers may be affected by indoor air pollution in the workplace. After reviewing and analyzing available information, OSHA published a proposed indoor air quality rule on April 5, 1994. The proposal would require employers to write and implement indoor air quality compliance plans that would include inspection and maintenance of current building ventilation systems to ensure they are functioning as designed. In buildings where smoking is allowed, the proposal would require designated smoking areas that would be separate, enclosed rooms where the air would be exhausted directly to the outside. Other proposed provisions would require employers to maintain healthy air quality during renovation, remodeling, and similar activities. As proposed, the provisions for indoor air quality would apply to 70 million workers and more than 4.5 million nonindustrial indoor work environments, including schools and training centers, offices, commercial establishments, health care facilities, cafeterias and factory break rooms. The proposed environmental tobacco smoke provisions would apply to all 6 million industrial and nonindustrial work environments under OSHA's jurisdiction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Injury and Illness Prevention</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), many States, members of the safety and health community, insurance companies, professional organizations, companies participating in the Agency's Voluntary Protection Programs, and many proactive employers in all industries recognize the value of worksite-specific injury and illness prevention programs in reducing and preventing job-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.  The reductions in job-related injuries and illnesses, workers' compensation costs, and absenteeism that occur after employers implement such programs dramatically demonstrate their effectiveness.  OSHA has decided to develop an injury and illness prevention rule because occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities are continuing to occur at an unacceptably high rate.  For example, an average of about 16 workers were killed each day in 1999.  This number does not include an estimated 137 daily deaths associated with job-related chronic illnesses.  The Agency is currently evaluating the appropriate scope and form of the proposed rule, as well as the hazards the rule will address, and is considering a number of regulatory and non-regulatory alternatives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Hexavalent Chromium (Preventing Occupational Illness: Chromium)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In July 1993, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was petitioned for an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to reduce the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for occupational exposures to hexavalent chromium. The Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers International Union (OCAW) and Public Citizen's Health Research Group (HRG) petitioned OSHA to promulgate an ETS to lower the PEL for hexavalent chromium (CrVI) compounds to 0.5 micrograms per cubic meter of air (ug/m3) as an eight-hour, time-weighted average (TWA). This would represent a significant reduction in the current PEL. The current PEL in general industry is found in 29 CFR 1910.1000 Table Z and is a ceiling value of 100 ug/m3, measured as chromium (VI) and reported as chromic anhydride (CrO3). The amount of chromium (VI) in the anhydride compound equates to a PEL of 52 ug/m3. This ceiling limit applies to all forms of hexavalent chromium (VI), including chromic acid and chromates, lead chromate, and zinc chromate. The current PEL for hexavalent chromium (VI) in the construction industry is 100 ug/m3 as a TWA PEL, which also equates to a PEL of 52 ug/m3. After reviewing the petition, OSHA denied the request for an ETS and initiated a section 6(b)(5) rulemaking.

The major illnesses associated with occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium are lung cancer and dermatoses. OSHA estimates that approximately one million workers are exposed to hexavalent chromium on a regular basis in all industries. The major uses of hexavalent chromium are: as a structural and anti-corrosive element in the production of stainless steel, ferrochromium, iron and steel, and in electroplating, welding and painting. Work on a proposed rule continues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Crystalline Silica</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is considering a negotiated or other consensus-based rulemaking to address the hazards posed by silica.  Silica exposure remains a serious threat to nearly 2 million U.S. workers, including more than 100,000 workers in high risk jobs such as abrasive blasting, foundry work, stonecutting, rock drilling, quarry work and tunneling.  The seriousness of the health hazards associated with silica exposure is demonstrated by the fatalities and disabling illnesses that continue to occur in sandblasters and rock drillers and by recent studies that indicate a statistically significant increase in lung cancer among silica-exposed workers.  Exposure studies and OSHA enforcement data indicate that some workers are still exposed to very high levels of silica.  OSHA plans in this rulemaking to modernize and standardize the Agency's current PELs for silica so that they will be consistent across all sectors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Generally, OSHA standards require that protective equipment (including personal protective equipment (PPE)) be provided and used when necessary to protect employees from hazards that can cause them injury, illness, or physical harm. In this discussion, OSHA uses the abbreviation "PPE" to cover both personal protective equipment and other protective equipment. The Agency has proposed to revise its PPE standards to clarify who is required to pay for required PPE and under what circumstances.  OSHA is considering its options and reviewing the record and has not determined its next course of action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is planning to revise and update its 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S-Electrical Standard and will rely heavily in that process on the materials involved in the development of the 2000 Edition of the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA's) 70 E standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces.  This revision will provide the first update of Subpart S-Electrical since the standard was originally published in 1981.  It will thus allow the latest technological developments to be considered; several of these state-of-the-art safety developments will be addressed by OSHA for the first time.  The update of Subpart S-Electrical will also at a future time permit the completion of standards covering safety-related maintenance requirements and safety requirements for special equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA's Commercial Diving Operations standard (29 CFR 1910.401 to 1910.441) was published in 1977.  In the intervening years, major changes in the technology of diving systems and equipment have occurred. In December 1999, OSHA granted a permanent variance to Dixie Divers, Inc. permitting recreational diving instructors employed by that company to comply with the provisions of the variance rather than with paragraphs (b)(2) and (c)(3)(iii) of  1910.423 and paragraph (b)(1) of 1910.426.  Since OSHA granted the variance, other employers of recreational diving instructors have asked OSHA to clarify the applicability of the variance to their operations.  OSHA intends to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking to obtain data on the appropriateness of amending the commercial diving operations standard to reflect the alternative specified in the permanent variance granted to Dixie Divers, Inc.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) for Air Contaminants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA enforces hundreds of permissible exposure limits (PELs) for toxic air contaminants found in U.S. workplaces. OSHA adopted most of the air contaminant limits in 1971 from recommendations issued under Federal rules, the American National Standards Institute, and other consensus organizations. These PELs thus reflect the results of research conducted before that time. Since then, much new information has become available.  OSHA has not yet determined the best way to proceed with the permissible exposure limit update process.  The Agency wishes both to expand the circle of stakeholders engaged in the update process and to obtain their input earlier in the process.  Accordingly and in light of resource constraints, OSHA is withdrawing this entry from the regulatory agenda at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Metalworking Fluids: Protecting Respiratory Health</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 1993, the International Union, United Automobile Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, petitioned OSHA to take emergency regulatory action to protect workers from the risks of occupational cancers and respiratory illnesses due to exposure to metalworking fluids. In response to the petition, OSHA established a 15-member Standards Advisory Committee to make recommendations to OSHA regarding the need for a standard, a guideline, or other appropriate response to the dangers of occupational exposures to metalworking fluids. The Committee  concluded that workers exposed to these fluids are at risk of developing respiratory diseases, including hypersensitivity pneumonitis, occupational asthma, and lung cancer and dermatoses. The Committee divided on the appropriate response; a majority favored rulemaking while others concluded that rulemaking was inappropriate at this time because of the complexity of the issue.  The Committee submitted its report to OSHA in July, 1999. OSHA has decided to make the Committee's report available to the public on the Agency's web page.  In addition, working with stakeholders and members of the Advisory Committee, OSHA has developed a Best Practices Guide for metalworking fluid users and will also make this available on the web.  OSHA believes that the availability of this comprehensive and authoritative outreach material will greatly reduce the health hazards machinists and others exposed to these fluids may face.  Accordingly, and in light of resource constraints, OSHA is withdrawing this entry from the agenda at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a final rule on Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements (66 FR 5916, January 19, 2001), which is scheduled to become effective on January 1, 2002.  Following a careful review conducted pursuant to White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card's memorandum (66 FR 7702), the Agency has determined that all but two provisions of the final rule will take effect as scheduled (66 FR 35113, July 3, 2001).  The record on this proposal closed on September 4, 2001.  OSHA intends to publish a final rule reflecting the effective dates for sections 1904.10 and 1904.12 in the near future.

OSHA will reconsider these two provisions in the final rule for recording occupational hearing loss based on the occurrence of a Standard Threshold Shift (STS) in hearing acuity (section 1904.10),  defining "musculoskeletal disorders" and checking the column on the OSHA 300 Log identifying a recordable case as an MSD (section 1904.12).  OSHA also proposed to delay the effective date of sections 1904.10 and 1904.12 until January 1, 2003 to allow time for such regulatory reconsideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Asbestos Exposure Limit</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) for asbestos applies to surface (30 CFR part 56) and underground (30 CFR part 57) metal and nonmetal mines and to surface coal mines and surface areas of underground coal mines (30 CFR part 71) and is over 20 years old.  Current scientific data indicate that this existing PEL is not adequate to protect miners' health.  MSHA is considering rulemaking to lower the PEL in order to reduce the risk of miners developing asbestos-induced occupational disease.  A recent report by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) recommended that MSHA lower its existing permissible exposure limit for asbestos to a more protective level, and address take-home contamination from asbestos.  It also recommended that MSHA use Transmission Electron Microscopy to analyze fiber samples that may contain asbestos.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Current scientific data indicate that the existing asbestos PEL is not protective of miners' health.  MSHA's asbestos regulations date to 1967 and are based on the Bureau of Mines (MSHA's predecessor) standard of 5 mppcf (million particles per cubic foot of air).  In 1969, the Bureau proposed a 2 mppcf and 12 fibers/ml standard.  This standard was promulgated in 1969.  In 1970, the Bureau proposed to lower the standard to 5 fibers/ml, which was promulgated in 1974.  MSHA issued its current standard of 2 fibers/ml at the end of 1978 for metal and nonmetal mining [43 FR 54064].  Since enactment of the Mine Act, MSHA has conducted regular inspections at both surface and underground operations at metal and nonmetal mines.  During these inspections, MSHA routinely takes samples, which are analyzed for compliance with its standard.  

Other Federal agencies have addressed this issue by lowering their PEL for asbestos.  For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, working in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency, enacted a revised asbestos standard in 1994 that lowered the permissible exposure limit and the excursion limit to an eight (8) hour time-weighted average limit of 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air and to 1.0 fiber per cubic centimeter of air (1 f/cc) as averaged over a sampling period of thirty (30) minutes.  These lowered limits reflected increased asbestos-related disease risk to asbestos-exposed workers.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Agency has increased sampling efforts in an attempt to determine current miners' exposure levels to asbestos, including taking samples at all existing vermiculite, taconite, talc, and other mines to determine whether asbestos is present and at what levels.  Since the spring of 2000, MSHA has taken almost 900 samples at more than 40 operations employing more than 4,000 miners.  During those sampling events, the MSHA staff also discussed with the miners and mine operators the potential hazards of asbestos and the types of preventive measures that could be implemented to reduce exposures.  The course of action MSHA takes in addressing asbestos hazards to miners will, in part, be based on these sampling results.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[There is concern that miners could be exposed to the hazards of asbestos during mine operations where the ore body contains asbestos.  There is also potential for exposure at facilities in which installed asbestos-containing material is present.  Overexposure to asbestos causes mesothelioma and other forms of cancers, such as cancers of the digestive system, as well as asbestosis.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Belt Entry Use as Intake Aircourse To Ventilate Working Sections</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, mine operators must apply to MSHA for a modification of the existing regulations if they want to use belt entries for ventilation purposes.  MSHA's current regulations prohibit belt entries from being used to ventilate areas where coal is being mined.  The intent was to prevent smoke from a conveyor belt fire from traveling to a miner's workplace.  Improved technology, including sophisticated monitoring devices, such as atmospheric monitoring systems (AMS), makes it possible to use belt entries safely to ventilate these areas in mines, provided certain conditions are met.  An AMS is a network consisting of hardware and software capable of measuring atmospheric parameters, such as carbon monoxide and oxygen concentrations; transmitting these measurements to the surface; providing local and remote alarms; manipulating and cataloging atmospheric data; and providing reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>In 1985 MSHA published a &quot;pre-proposal&quot; that included a belt air provision as part of the revisions to the ventilation regulations.  In 1988 MSHA published a proposed rule that would have allowed belt air to ventilate the area where coal is being mined.  Also in 1988, MSHA held six hearings to receive public comment on the proposed rule.  Several thousand miners attended the hearings to voice their opposition to the belt air provision.  As a result, in 1989 MSHA formed the Belt Air Ventilation Review Committee to review the use of belt air.  The Committee concluded that the use of belt air could be allowed, provided environmental sensors are used to detect belt fires.  Another hearing took place in 1990 to solicit further comment on the use of belt air.  In 1991, the Secretary of Labor formed a Federal Advisory Committee on the use of belt air.  MSHA published final ventilation rules in 1992 that omitted the use of belt air, deferring further action until the Advisory Committee recommendations were completed.  In December 1992, the Advisory Committee published a report that concluded that belt air can be used to safely ventilate areas where coal is being mined, provided certain conditions are met.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

Our current regulations set out approval requirements for MSHA testing and evaluation for approval of certain products used in gassy underground mines. The rule as proposed would allow us to accept testing and evaluation of certain mine equipment by independent laboratories; and approve products which satisfy alternative testing and evaluation requirements if those requirements are equivalent to ours, or could be enhanced to be equivalent.  We are considering reproposing the rule to assure that the proposed changes are appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazard Communication</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Today's complex mining environment exposes miners to many hazards, such as wastes being burned as fuel supplements at cement kilns and other chemicals brought onto mine property.

On October 3, 2000, MSHA published an interim final Hazard Communication (HazCom) rule and opened a short additional comment period which closed on November 17, 2000.

The purpose of this standard is to reduce chemically related injuries and illnesses among miners by increasing their knowledge and awareness of chemical hazards.  It ensures that miners have the same protections that have been available to workers under OSHA's jurisdiction since 1987.  MSHA's rule is consistent with OSHA's HazCom rule to the extent appropriate.

The interim final rule would have become effective on October 3, 2001. MSHA reopened the record and held public hearings to provide an additional opportunity for comment on any issue relevant to the rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electric Motor-Driven Mine Equipment and Accessories and High-Voltage Longwall Equipment Standards for Underground Coal Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Our current regulations require that high-voltage cables and transformers be kept at least 150 feet from coal extraction areas.  These requirements are intended to eliminate an ignition source for methane and coal dust in close proximity to the work area.  Highly productive longwall mining systems are now in widespread use in the mining industry.  They use safe high-voltage electrical equipment and associated cables.  Mine operators, however, currently must apply to us for a modification from the existing regulations if they want to use this high-voltage equipment.  The proposed rule would eliminate the need for a modification to use this equipment and would establish safety requirements for the design, construction, installation, use, and maintenance of high-voltage longwall equipment and associated cables.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The first high-voltage longwall system started operating in 1985.  Since that time we have issued approximately 130 system design approvals for high-voltage longwall equipment.  Over the last 16 years, no electrical-type fatalities or serious injuries occurred to miners because of high-voltage equipment used in accordance with over 100 granted high-voltage petitions for modification (petitions).  Because of this new improved high-voltage technology, the designed safety benefits and the observed use experience, MSHA is revising its existing 30 CFR part 18 electric motor-driven mine equipment and accessories approval requirements by adding specific design requirements for high-voltage longwall equipment in underground mines.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Verification of Underground Coal Mine Operators&apos; Dust Control Plans and Compliance Sampling for Respirable Dust</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Our current regulations require that all underground coal mine operators develop and follow a mine ventilation plan for each mechanized mining unit that we approve.  However, we do not have a requirement that provides for verification of each plan's effectiveness under typical mining conditions.  Consequently, plans may be implemented by mine operators that could be inadequate to control respirable dust.  The proposed rule provides for MSHA to verify the effectiveness of mine ventilation plans to control respirable dust under typical mining conditions.  For longwall mine operators, we proposed to permit the limited use of either approved loose-fitting powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs) or verifiable administrative controls as a supplemental means of compliance if we have determined that further reduction in respirable dust levels cannot be achieved using all feasible engineering controls.  Furthermore, MSHA proposed to assume responsibility for all compliance sampling for respirable dust in underground coal mines as required under 30 CFR parts 70 and 90.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Respirable coal mine dust levels in this country are significantly lower than they were two decades ago.  Despite this progress, there continues to be concern about the respirable coal mine dust sampling program and its effectiveness in maintaining exposure levels in mines at or below the applicable standard.  Our regulations require that all underground coal mine operators develop and follow a mine ventilation plan approved by us. The dust control portion of the mine ventilation plan is the key element of an operator's strategy to control respirable dust in the work environment.  Although such plans are required to be designed to control respirable dust, there is no current requirement that provides for verification of each proposed plan's effectiveness under typical mining conditions. Consequently, plans may be implemented that may be inadequate to control respirable dust. 
 
Therefore, we proposed to revoke existing operator respirable dust sampling and to implement new regulations that would require each underground coal mine operator to have a verified ventilation plan.  MSHA would verify the effectiveness of the mine ventilation plan for each mechanized mining unit in controlling respirable dust under typical mining conditions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Promulgation of these regulations is authorized by section 101 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In developing the proposed rule, we considered alternatives related to typical production levels, the use of appropriate dust control strategies, use of supplemental controls for mining entities other than longwalls, and the level of protection of loose-fitting powered air purifying respirators (PAPRS) in underground coal mines.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Benefits sought are reduced dust levels over a miner's working lifetime by the elimination of over-exposures to respirable coal dust on each and every production shift.  Additional benefits include reduced health care costs and disability and black lung benefit payments.  There would be a cost savings for mine operators when MSHA completely takes over compliance and abatement sampling for respirable dust.  We developed cost estimates and made them available for public review.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Respirable coal mine dust is one of the most serious occupational hazards in the mining industry. Occupational exposure to excessive levels of respirable coal mine dust can cause black lung and silicosis, which are potentially disabling and can cause death.  We are pursuing both regulatory and non-regulatory actions to eliminate these diseases through the control of coal mine respirable dust levels in mines and the reduction of miners' exposure.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Respirable coal mine dust levels in this country are significantly lower than they were over two decades ago.  Despite this progress, there continues to be concern about our current sampling programs' ability to accurately measure and maintain respirable coal mine dust exposure at or below the applicable standard on each shift.  For as long as miners have taken coal from the ground, many have suffered respiratory problems due to their occupational exposures to respirable coal mine dust.  These respiratory problems affect the current workforce and range from mild impairment of respiratory function to more severe diseases, such as silicosis and pulmonary massive fibrosis.  For some miners, the impairment of their respiratory systems is so severe, they die prematurely.  Since there is a clear relationship between a miner's cumulative exposure to respirable coal mine dust and the severity of the resulting respiratory conditions, it is imperative that each miner's exposure not exceed the applicable standard on each and every shift.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Promulgation of this regulation is authorized by section 101 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The requirements of this rule ("single full-shift sample rule") will work in tandem with those of the proposed rule (RIN 1219-AB14) in which MSHA would verify the effectiveness of ventilation plans as well as conduct all compliance sampling in underground coal mines.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Benefits sought are reduced dust levels over a miner's working lifetime by the elimination of over-exposures to respirable coal dust on each and every production shift.  Additional benefits include reduced health care costs and disability and black lung benefit payments.  There would be a cost savings for mine operators when MSHA completely takes over compliance and abatement sampling for respirable dust.  We developed cost estimates and made them available for public review.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Respirable coal mine dust is one of the most serious occupational hazards in the mining industry.  Occupational exposure to excessive levels of respirable coal mine dust can cause workers' pneumoconiosis and silicosis, which are potentially disabling and can cause death.  We are pursuing both regulatory and nonregulatory actions to eliminate these diseases through the control of coal mine respirable dust levels in mines and reduction of miners' exposure.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Diesel Particulate Exposure of Underground Metal and Nonmetal Miners</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule addresses two provisions of the Mine Safety and Health Administration's final rule pertaining to "Diesel Particulate Matter Exposure of Underground Metal and Nonmetal Miners," published in the Federal Register on January 19, 2001 (66 FR 5706, RIN 1219-AB11).  The final rule was scheduled to become effective on March 20, 2001, but MSHA delayed the effective date of the rule until May 21, 2001 in accordance with a January 20, 2001 memorandum from the President's Chief of Staff.  On May 21, 2001, MSHA delayed the effective date of the final rule until July 5, 2001.   The final rule was challenged by mining industry trade associations, several mining companies and the United Steelworkers  of America.  This proposed rule addresses two provisions: section 57.5066(b) (regarding the tagging provision of the maintenance standard) and section 57.5067(b) (regarding the definition of "introduced" in the engine standard).  The proposal gives notice of MSHA's intent to revise these two provisions and requests comments from the mining community.  The Agency also held a public hearing to receive further input from the public.  The requirements of the proposed rule will work in tandum with the provisions that were effective on July 5, 2001.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Our current regulations require conveyor belts used in underground coal mines to be flame-resistant. The rule, as proposed, would set new procedures and requirements for testing and approval of these belts to evaluate their resistance to fire ignition and propagation.  The proposal would also require purchase of the improved belts after one year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed regulatory action is necessary to comply with the Department's statutory and regulatory obligations under the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended (the Act). The Act and the general, Governmentwide implementing rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (45 CFR 90) require each Federal agency providing financial assistance to any program or activity to publish proposed regulations implementing the Act no later than 90 days after the publication date of the Governmentwide rule, and to submit final agency regulations to HHS no later than 120 days after publication of the NPRM. As a practical matter, while DOL has not issued proposed or final regulations under the Age Discrimination Act, it has complied with its enforcement obligations. Furthermore, discrimination on the basis of age is prohibited under section 188 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and the implementing regulations at 29 CFR 37.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 188 prohibits discrimination by recipients of financial assistance under Title I of WIA on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, political affiliation or belief, and for beneficiaries only, participant status, and against certain noncitizens. Section 188(e) requires that the Secretary of Labor issue regulations necessary to implement section 188 not later than one year after the date of the enactment of the WIA. Such regulations will include standards for determining compliance and procedures for enforcement that are consistent with the Acts referred to in section 188(a)(1), as well as procedures to ensure that complaints filed under section 188 and such acts are processed in a manner that avoids duplication of effort.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action adds a new title 29 CFR 99 "Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations" as a new regulation which codifies the revised Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 in its entirety. The Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (Public Law 104-156, 110 Stat. 136) and the June 24, 1997, revision of OMB Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations," required agencies to adopt in codified regulations the standards in the revised OMB Circular A-133 by August 29, 1997, so that they will apply to audits of fiscal years beginning after June 30, 1996. The revised OMB Circular A-133 co-located audit requirements for States, local governments, and nonprofit organizations. As a consequence, the OMB rescinded OMB Circular A-128, "Audits of States and Local Governments." On August 29, 1997, the Department of Labor amended its grants common rules at 29 CFR 95 and 29 CFR 97 in accordance with OMB guidance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is joining with other Federal agencies to establish revised regulations for Grants. Congress included a two-sentence provision in OMB's appropriation for fiscal year 1999, contained in Public Law 105-277, directing OMB to revise section 95.36 of Circular A-110 "to require Federal awarding agencies to ensure that all data produced under an award will be made available to public through the procedures established under the Freedom of Information Act." Circular A-110 applies to grants and cooperative agreements with institutions of higher education, hospitals, and nonprofit institutions, from all Federal agencies. OMB finalized the revision on September 30, 1999 (64 FR 54926). This interim final rule amends the agencies' codification of Circular A-110 so they reflect OMB's recent action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) and Governmentwide Requirements for Drug Free Workplace  (Grants)  29 CFR 98</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposed substantive changes and amendments to the Governmentwide nonprocurement common rule for debarment and suspension and the governmentwide rule implementing the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. The most significant changes are: (1) This proposed common rule on debarment and suspension would limit the mandatory lower tier application of an exclusion to the first procurement level under a nonprocurement covered transaction; (2) This proposed common rule on debarment and suspension would set the dollar threshold on prohibited lower-tier procurement transactions with excluded persons at $25,000; (3) Both this proposed rule on debarment and suspension and the proposed rule on drug-free workplace requirements would eliminate the mandate for agencies and participants to obtain written certifications from awardees or persons with whom they propose to enter into covered transactions.  The proposed rules will allow agencies and participants the flexibility to use other means if they so choose, such as award conditions or electronic access to the GSA List on the internet, to enforce compliance with the rules; and (4) The proposed rule on drug-free workplace requirements would be separated from this proposed rule on debarment and suspension. The drug-free workplace requirements currently are in subpart F of the Debarment and Suspension Nonprocurement Common Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Labor Acquisition Regulations (DOLAR) are organized following the FAR format, i.e. fifty-three chapters covering specific topics.  However, the DOLAR has not been updated since 1986.  Since that time numerous procurement reforms have taken place and the organizations within the Department of Labor have changed, leaving the DOLAR obsolete in many areas, particularly in the area of e-procurement.

The existing DOLAR proposed rules will be modified to:
--Remove obsolete references to policies, procedures, and offices.
--Incorporate electronic links to primary sources of reference such as the FAR, U.S. Code, and the Code of Federal Regulations in order to allow the DOLAR to be used by procurement professionals and others as a reference tool.
--Incorporate Office of Federal Procurement Policy Letters, Executive Orders and other federal acquisition initiatives into Department of Labor practices.
--Establish procedures that follow current established best practices.
--Restate procedures that have not changed and are still in effect.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Annual Report for Federal Contractors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) issued a final rule implementing changes required by the Veterans' Employment Opportunities Act of 1998. The Act requires most Federal contractors and subcontractors with contracts in the amount of $25,000 or more to report their efforts toward hiring and employment of qualified veterans.  The Act adds an additional category of veterans, "other veterans who have served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized," to the list of protected veterans under the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act, as amended (VEVRAA). The Act also adds the requirement that covered contractors and subcontractors report their minimum and maximum number of employees. This rule will assist VETS in meeting the statutory requirement of annually collecting the VETS-100 Report. After publication VETS learned that the final rule may inadvertently increase recordkeeping burden on some contractors. Accordingly, an interim final rule will be published permitting contractors flexibility in how they determine the maximum and minimum number of employees reported.]]></ABSTRACT>

According to the statute cited above, the Attorney General will use this list for enforcing restrictions on work performed by crewmembers of vessels from such countries. Compilation of the list itself does not involve any significant costs and is based upon information being provided to the Department of State by U.S. diplomatic missions overseas, as well as by the public. Questions regarding the policy justification for the list and its use are best directed to the Departments of Labor, Transportation, and Justice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of State participated with 21 other Federal agencies to amend regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act).  Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.  In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI, section 504, and the Age Discrimination Act.  The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The above-mentioned statute requires the Secretary of State to compile and update annually, through notice-and-comment rulemaking procedures, a list, by particular longshore activity, of countries where performance of such activity is prohibited by law, regulation, or in practice in the country concerned. According to the statute cited above, the Attorney General will use this list for enforcing restrictions on work performed by crewmembers of vessels from such countries. Compilation of the list itself does not involve any significant costs and is based upon information being provided to the Department of State by U.S. diplomatic missions overseas, as well as by the public. Questions regarding the policy justification for the list and its use are best directed to the Departments of Labor, Transportation, and Justice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By resolution of the international diplomatic conference that adopted the final text of the 1973 convention on the forms of international wills, there was a recommendation that States establish an internal system to permit the optional registration of information to facilitate the discovery of international wills. The President transmitted the convention to the Senate on July 2, 1986, with the recommendation that the Senate give its advice and consent to U.S. ratification of the convention and information about the intention to establish the Registry in the Department of State (Senate Treaty Doc. 99-29). The Senate gave advice and consent on August 2, 1991. Implementing legislation (the International Wills Act) is required before the United States can take further action to ratify the convention.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 17, 1980, the Department of Justice published a proposed regulation to implement the requirements of title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of an individual's sex in federally assisted educational programs. That regulation was never issued in final form. As a result of subsequent statutory amendments, it was necessary to revise the prior proposed title IX regulation and begin a new rulemaking process. The Department of State's regulation was published as a common rule with other agencies, including the Department of Justice, that need title IX regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department regulates computer reservations systems owned by airlines or airline affiliates that are used by travel agencies. The current rules are designed to prevent the systems from unreasonably prejudicing the competitive position of other airlines and to ensure that travel agencies can provide accurate and unbiased information to the public. The Department is reexamining its rules to see whether they should be readopted and, if so, whether they should be changed. As part of this action, we will be looking at ways to lessen impacts on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Aviation Data Requirements Review and Modernization Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is undertaking an aviation data requirements review and modernization program. The review is designed to harmonize the Department's aviation data systems with current regulatory and statutory needs; improve the quality of the Department's aviation databases; and eliminate obsolete data reporting and processing systems. The ANPRM was the first step in an outreach program to review aviation data collected by the Department and the measures that should be taken to modernize and improve aviation data reporting and processing systems. The Department solicited public comments from aviation data users on the nature, scope, source, and means for collecting, processing, and distributing airline traffic, fare, and financial data. Specifically, the Department invited comments to determine whether existing aviation data should be amended, supplemented, or replaced; whether selected forms and reports should be retained, modified, or eliminated; whether the Department should require all aviation data to be filed electronically; and how the aviation data system should be reengineered to enhance efficiency and to reduce costs for both the Department and airline industry. The Department has reviewed the comments and reply comments and is in the process of redefining the data elements and restructuring the data reporting requirements to be included in a NPRM. This action is significant due to substantial public and industry interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposed to make direct air carriers responsible for returning charter passengers stranded by strikes or other service interruptions, by eliminating the force majeure clause from charter contracts. However, the CAB subsequently issued an interpretive rule (ER-1387, 49 FR 33436) which was affirmed in court. (Arrow Air, Inc. v. Dole, 784 F2d 1118 (1986)) Therefore, this action is now moot; the NPRM will be withdrawn.]]></ABSTRACT>

A draft final rule was submitted to HHS, as required by that Act, and was approved. However, in view of current airline practices with respect to travel by the elderly, and the absence of complaints of discrimination based on age, there no longer appears to be a need for further rulemaking action, and the NPRM will be withdrawn.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Diversion of Flights Within a Metropolitan Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CAB proposed to amend its rules requiring notice of contract terms for domestic travel to require that actual notice be given to passengers of terms absolving carriers from any responsibility to transport a passenger to the destination named on the ticket, or to reimburse the passenger for expenses in reaching the airport noted on the ticket when a flight is diverted to another airport in the same metropolitan area. Alternatively, the Board proposed to declare it to be an unfair and deceptive practice to divert a passenger without arranging and paying for alternate transportation to the destination airport named on the passenger's ticket. The Board considered a final rule but did not decide what action to take. DOT is withdrawing the NPRM as unnecessary since it appears that carriers no longer have the policies that promoted the CAB's concern.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Simplified Airline Counter-Sign Notices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Association of Airport Executives, the Airport Operators Council International, and the Air Transport Association of America petitioned the CAB to simplify its counter-sign requirements. Presently, airlines are required to display four different consumer protection notices on their ticket counters. The petitioners alleged that the current notices are hard to read and, therefore, do not provide much notice to passengers. They proposed replacing the four notices with one simplified counter sign. A CAB NPRM proposed a number of alternatives, such as a long and/or short notice, where the notices would be required to be posted, and whether a smoking notice should be included. DOT decided not to act on these "counter signs" separately, but rather to consider whether there should be a comprehensive re-examination of all forms of notice to passengers, including notices on tickets. This NPRM will be withdrawn.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In May 1997, the Department issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to revise its disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) regulation.  The SNPRM included proposals for revising the airport concessions portion of the DBE program.  When the Department, in February 1999, issued a final rule based on the SNPRM, we did not publish a final version of the airport concessions proposal.

This SNPRM seeks comments on an airport concessions subpart to part 26 that takes into account comments on the May 1997 SNPRM, adapts provisions of the rest of part 26 to the concessions context, and proposes options for provisions affecting car rental operations at airports.  These options are based in part on a recent memorandum of understanding between the American Car Rental Association and the Airport Minority Advisory Council making recommendations to the Department on this aspect of the rulemaking.  This SNPRM was inadvertently published under RIN 2105-AB92.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend DOT's regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (Section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act).  Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.  In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to Title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to Section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act.  The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes.  The promulgation of this proposed regulation incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into Title VI, Section 504, and the Age Discrimination Act regulations.  This proposed regulation also promotes consistency and enforceability  of these statutes.  This is a joint notice of proposed rulemaking with other Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Policy Statement on Airline Preemption</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civil Aeronautics Board in 1979 issued an interim Policy Statement on preemption. It discusses the policy of the Department with respect to three areas in which State law has been preempted by the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978: regulation of commuter air carriers and air taxis, the rights of airport proprietors, and general State authority as it directly or indirectly affects air transportation competition. The Supreme Court has classified that section 105 of the ADA preempts even indirect State regulation that "has a connection with or reference to" airline rates, routes, or services, but does not preempt State contract law with respect to interpretation and enforcement of agreements voluntarily entered into by air carriers. Other courts continue to issue decisions applying this provision to a multitude of different circumstances. The Department believes that this process of exploring the interpretation of section 105 will continue, and is considering the admissibility of terminating this proceeding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Statement of Enforcement Policy on Rebating</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is proposing to provide formal notice to the public of its enforcement policy concerning the rebating of international air fares by adopting that policy as a Policy Statement in the regulations. No change in the substance of that policy is intended. The Department also proposes to revoke an existing Policy Statement on the advertising of rebates that is contrary to DOT's current enforcement policy. The proposal responds to a request for such action by the American Society of Travel Agents. The proposed regulation is significant because it involves important departmental policies and substantial industry interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accessibility of Passenger Vessels to Individuals With Disabilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) final rule, published September 6, 1991 (56 FR 45584), reserved portions of the rule concerning passenger vessels. The ADA covers passenger vessels, but issuing accessibility requirements for vessels involves complex issues unlike those affecting land transportation. This action will address these issues and propose feasible requirements to make passenger vessels accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities. DOT is participating in an ongoing advisory committee effort convened by the Access Board to study passenger vessel accessibility issues. September and November 1998 meetings were held. This rulemaking is considered significant because of substantial public and congressional interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is considering the use of regulatory negotiation to seek consensus among air carriers, consumers, airports, equipment manufacturers, oxygen suppliers, and safety regulators concerning the use of oxygen by passengers on air carriers when individuals need special private supplies. The need for action stems from a current situation where all carriers do not allow passengers to bring their own oxygen aboard. Issues involve conformance with RSPA and FAA hazardous materials rules and the question of providing oxygen during long layovers. The Department is considering whether to begin a regulatory negotiation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice requested comments concerning operational and cost issues related to U.S. air carriers collecting information such as full name, date of birth and/or social security number, emergency contact and telephone number from passengers traveling on flights within the United States. This notice was issued on the Department's initiative in response to difficulties with notification in the aftermath of domestic aviation disasters and to comply with a recommendation contained in the initial report of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security (1996) that urged the Department to explore immediately the costs and effects of a comprehensive passenger manifest requirement on the domestic aviation system. DOT will review the implementation of the international passenger manifest requirements (RIN 2105-AB78, 2/18/98, 63 FR 8258) as it determines how to proceed with this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Airport Concessions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would implement changes to the Airport and Airway Improvement Act to allow airport sponsors to count new forms of disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) participation toward the overall goals of a DBE concession plan. These new forms include purchases from DBEs of goods and services used in operating a concession, as well as management contracts and subcontracts with DBEs. This action was initially begun in an NPRM 10/6/93, 58 FR 52050, RIN 2105-AB99. It was then combined in the DBE general update and comments were received in response to an SNPRM of 5/30/95, 62 FR 29548. However, when the general update rule was published 2/2/99, 64 FR 5096, RIN 2105-AB92, the airport concessions issue was once again separated. Future actions for airport concessions will be addressed under RIN 2105-AC91.  Therefore, this action is being withdrawn.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Claims Procedures Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (CGD 91-035)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking implements section 1013 (Claims Procedures) and section 1014 (Designation of Source and Advertisement) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. The Interim Rule provides the requirements for the filing of claims for uncompensated removal costs or damages resulting from the discharge of oil, for the designation of the sources of the discharge, and for the advertisement of where claims are to be filed. The Interim Rule also included the processing of natural resource damage (NRD) claims. The NRD claims, however, were not processed until September 25, 1997, when the Department of Justice issued an opinion that the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSTLF) is available without further appropriation to pay trustee NRD claims under the general claims provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 33 U.S.C. 2712(a)(4). Release of the Final Rule will be delayed until additional experience is gained on the adjudication of these NRD claims. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of the protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Salvage and Marine Firefighting Requirements; Vessel Response Plans for Oil (USCG-1998-3417)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Current vessel response plan regulations require that the owners or operators of vessels carrying groups I through V petroleum oil as a primary cargo identify in their response plans a salvage company with expertise and equipment, and a company with firefighting capability that can be deployed to a port nearest to the vessel's operating area within 24 hours of notification (groups I-IV) or a discovery of a discharge (group V). Numerous requests for clarification revealed widespread misunderstanding and confusion regarding the regulatory language, which will make the implementation of this requirement difficult. Based on comments received after the Vessel Response Plan final rule publication (61 FR 1052; January 12, 1996) and during a Coast Guard hosted workshop, the Coast Guard intends to better define the terms "salvage expertise and equipment" and "vessel firefighting capability" requirements and will reconsider the 24-hour deployment requirement which was scheduled to go into effect on February 18, 1998. Therefore, the Coast Guard suspended the effective dates of the 24-hour deployment requirements as published in the final rule. The Coast Guard will continue with this project to better define the requirements. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of the natural resources. This rulemaking is DOT-significant because it concerns a matter of substantial public interest or controversy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deepwater Ports (USCG-1998-3884)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this rulemaking is to update the Deepwater Port Regulations. Section 502 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1996 necessitates changes to the current Deepwater Port  regulations. These regulations were developed in the 1970s when there were no deepwater ports in the United States. The Coast Guard will be revising the regulations to: remove from the regulations, and place in the license conditions, those requirements which belong in the license conditions; and remove from the regulations those things which can be addressed in an operations manual. The Coast Guard will also consider revising the regulations to address technological advancements and operational experience gained over the last 20 years. In accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Coast Guard is also reviewing these regulations for their impacts on small businesses and the potential to reduce any such impacts. Public comment on small business impacts is specifically requested. This rulemaking will encompass a complete review of the Deepwater Port Regulations. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will propose regulations to: (1) combine a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO) with the Builder's Certificate (form CG12-1261); (2) require that the Hull Identification Number (HIN) be included on the Application for Documentation of recreational vessels for those vessels required to have an assigned HIN; (3) require the submission of the original state title, or if not a state title, the original State registration and/or official replacements issued by a titling/registering authority when documentation is based on those methods of establishing title and; (4) establish procedures for electronic submission of instruments. These four initiatives offer increased efficiency of the vessel documentation process and increased fraud protection for vessel owners; implement statutory changes from the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1996, (Pub. L. 104-324); and implement statutory changes from the Coast Guard Authorization of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-383). This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project will revise the facility marine vapor control systems (VCS) safety regulations and the vessel VCS safety regulations. These existing regulations require revision to reflect new Federal and State air emissions control requirements, VCS technology developments, and to evaluate and minimize any significant economic impacts of the rules upon small entities. The revisions will also incorporate Coast Guard policies and guidelines developed to support the existing regulations and a Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular which provides safety guidelines for the design and operation of a marine VCS at tank barge cleaning facilities. This project supports the Coast Guard Marine Safety and Environmental Protection Program's goal to reduce crewmember deaths and injuries on U.S. commercial vessels, it seeks to reduce the amount of oil and chemicals discharged into the Nation's waterways, and it promotes the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project will revise regulations that govern the operation and administration of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. These regulations need to be changed to comform to the provisions of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1996 which amended the relevant statues in title 14, United States Code. These provisions clarified the organization and status of the Auxiliary, broadened the role of the Auxiliary, and provided additional liability protection for Auxiliary members assigned to Coast Guard duty. This project supports the Coast Guard strategic goals of maritime safety, maritime mobility, maritime security, and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is seeking to let the lighting industry and owners of private aids to navigation take advantage of a recent improvement in technology--one that enables the use of lanterns based on light-emitting diodes, which would reduce the consumption of power and simplify the maintenance of the aids.  The use of these lanterns should stimulate competition in the industry and allow the marking of the aids in a desirable manner.  This rule supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a Writ of Mandamus requiring the Coast Guard to promulgate regulations for tank level or pressure monitoring (TLPM) devices as mandated by OPA 90.  This regulatory project will establish performance standards for TLPM devices and require tank vessels to install such devices.  This project is considered economically significant because of substantial public and industry interest and possible significant economic impact of the rulemaking. This rulemaking falls under the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule is required by section 4110 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 as determined by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit in May 2001.  The Coast Guard is under a Writ of Mandamus to publish a rule requiring the use of Tank Vessel Pressure Monitoring devices.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Alternatives considered for analysis include two performance standards, however, the same cost will be achieved using either standard.  We also considered the applicability of the rule to different types of vessels.  Variations of these alternatives are presented as eight options in the NPRM.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The present value cost of the proposed rule over the 13-year period of analysis (2002-2014) would range from approximately $64 million to $211 million depending on the option selected.  Virtually all of the costs will be incurred during the 3-year or 5-year phase-in period.  Under the most expensive option, the cost in nominal terms is estimated to be $80 million.  Over the 13-year period of analysis, this analysis estimates that TLPM devices will reduce the amount of oil spilled in the United States by an estimated range of 211 barrels to 1,425 barrels, depending on the option selected.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule addresses the risk of slow leakage from tank vessels that might otherwise go undetected. It is one of the many statutory requirements mandated by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, which eliminates a number of oil pollution risks.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project will make substantive changes to current regulations, but only to the extent required to conform to the congressionally mandated changes in the laws administered and enforced by the Coast Guard as listed in section 301 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998 (a.

We will redefine the "territorial sea," "navigable waters of the United States," "high seas," "contiguous zone," and "exclusive economic zone" to clarify the varying definitions of those terms under different laws administered and enforced by the Coast Guard, as well as relevant Presidential proclamations.

        <RULE_TITLE>Revise Options for Responding to Notices of Violations (USCG-2001-9175)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would revise 33 CFR 1.07, Notice of violation, to change the process for a "no action" option.  This change would preserve the existing options of paying the "ticket" and closing the case, or requesting a hearing; it would replace the current default of the "no action resulting in referral to a hearing officer" to "no action resulting in a finding of proved and assessment of a penalty."  This project supports the Commandant's workload reduction initiative by increasing the efficiency of Coast Guard resources by removing a time-consuming, unnecessary step in the processing of notices of violations for which no response was received.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would implement the requirements of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78), Annex II, Regulation 16.  Regulation 16 requires that every ship of 150 gross tons and above, certified to carry noxious liquid substances (NLS), carry a shipboard marine pollution emergency plan for oil and/or NLS.  Regulation 16 requires these plans be approved by the Flag State no later than January 1, 2003.  This project will modify existing regulations in 33 CFR part 151 for Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plans (SOPEP) to address this new requirement. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of the marine environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Requirements for Propeller Injury Avoidance Measures (USCG 2001-10163)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish Federal requirements for non-planing recreational houseboats equipped with propeller driven propulsion located aft of the transom.  This rule would require owners of these non-planing recreational houseboats to install either one or two propulsion unit measures (a propeller guard or a jet pump drive) or employ three combined measures (use of an ignition cut-off switch, where installed, and install a swim ladder interlock device and an aft-visibility device).  These requirements would reduce the number of boaters who are seriously or fatally injured when struck by the propeller of a non-planing recreational houseboat.  This rulemaking would implement recommendations made by the National Boating Safety Advisory Council.  It supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Traffic Separation Scheme:  In Prince William Sound, Alaska (USCG-2001-10254)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would implement amendments to the existing Prince William Sound Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS).  The amendments to the TSS have been approved by the International Maritime Organization, and have been validated by a recent Port Access Route Study (PARS).  Implementing these amendments into the Code of Federal Regulations would provide straight traffic lanes between the Bligh Reef Pilot Station and Cape Hinchinbrook, and should reduce the risk for vessels operating within the area.  The length of transit in Prince William Sound would also be reduced.  With the course change removed from the original TSS, the minimum distance from the center of the southbound traffic lane to Naked Island would increase from six (6) to nine (9) nautical miles, reducing the risk of drift groundings.  This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of increasing maritime mobility, protecting  natural resources and improving marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Zones for Outer Continental Shelf Facilities in the Gulf of Mexico (CGD08-01-025)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to establish safety zones around five petroleum and gas production facilities in the Outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. The four platforms and one moored spar buoy need to be protected from vessels operating outside the normal shipping channels and fairways. Placing safety zones around these facilities will significantly reduce the threat of allisions, oil spills and releases of natural gas. The proposed regulation would prevent all vessels from entering or remaining in specified areas around the platforms except for the following:  An attending vessel; a vessel under 100 feet in length overall not engaged in towing; or a vessel authorized by the Eighth Coast Guard District Commander. The proposed safety zones are necessary to protect the safety of life, property and the environment and support the Coast Guard's strategic goals of marine safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Discharge-Removal Equipment for Vessels Carrying Oil (CGD 90-068)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 directed the President by August 18, 1992, to require periodic inspection of discharge-removal equipment to ensure that it is available in an emergency, and to require carriage of discharge-removal equipment by vessels operating in the navigable waters of the United States and carrying oil or hazardous substances. This action implemented those provisions. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of natural resources. This project is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Handling of Explosives or Other Dangerous Cargoes Within or Contiguous to Waterfront Facilities (USCG-1998-4302)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is intended to revise existing regulations covering waterfront facilities that handle dangerous cargoes. The present regulations are outdated and do not reflect improved safety procedures and modern transportation methods, such as the use of containers. Where appropriate, the regulations would incorporate industry standards regarding the handling of hazardous materials at waterfront facilities. This project supports the Vice Commandant's workload reduction initiative, and also supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety by reducing deaths and injuries in the maritime industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would implement provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 that require an owner or operator of a marine transportation-related facility transferring bulk hazardous substances to develop and operate in accordance with an approved response plan. The regulations would apply to marine transportation-related facilities that, because of their location, could cause harm to the environment by discharging a hazardous substance into or on the navigable waters or adjoining shoreline. A separate rulemaking, under RIN 2115-AE88, was developed in tandem with this rulemaking and addresses hazardous substances response plan requirements for tank vessels. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources by reducing the amount of chemicals entering the environment, as well as reducing the consequence of pollution incidents. This action is considered significant because of substantial public and industry interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 4202(a) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), codified at 33 U.S.C. 1321(j)(5), mandates that the President issue regulations requiring the preparation of oil and hazardous substance discharge response plans. Although section 4202(b)(4) of OPA 90 established an implementation schedule for these response plans for oil, it did not establish a deadline for submission or approval of hazardous substances response plans. The Coast Guard has issued separate final rules governing response plan requirements for vessels carrying oil in bulk as cargo and facilities that handle, store, or transport oil in bulk. Under 33 U.S.C. 1321, "hazardous substances" are designated by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. The Administrator has designated 297 chemicals as hazardous substances under this section. The Coast Guard has identified 82 hazardous substances currently carried in bulk by vessels, and transferred to or from marine transportation-related facilities.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Coast Guard intends to determine what types of response strategies would be required to address spills of different types of hazardous substances. For some substances, containment and recovery may be the appropriate response. However, some of the spilled substances may not be recoverable from the water and other actions may be necessary. Plans are required, by statute, to address responses to a "worst case discharge." For facilities, a "worst case discharge" is "the largest foreseeable discharge in adverse weather conditions."]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The potential costs of this rulemaking may include the costs of developing and implementing a hazardous substance response plan, maintaining contracts for response resources, reviewing and updating hazardous substance response plans, maintaining any required equipment, and training and exercising response personnel. Potential benefits include reduced risk of human exposure and enhanced environmental quality from improved ability to respond to, contain, and recover spilled hazardous substances. The analysis indicates that this project will not be economically significant. A regulatory assessment addressing costs and benefits of this rule is available in the public docket.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Response plans are required by statute. A response plan will not prevent a discharge of a hazardous substance, but it may improve the response and help to minimize personal injury and damage to the environment. This rule should not affect the economic viability of facilities involved in transferring hazardous substances in bulk or have a significant impact on the volume of hazardous substances shipped by marine transportation-related facilities. Most facilities involved in transferring hazardous substances in bulk have developed plans, but there have not been requirements for standardization.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title 46 U.S.C. 12301, as amended by the Abandoned Barge Act of 1992, requires all undocumented barges more than 100 gross tons operating on the navigable waters of the United States be numbered. This rulemaking would establish a numbering system for these barges. The numbering of undocumented barges will allow identification of owners of barges found abandoned and help prevent future marine pollution. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Licensing and Manning for Officers of Towing Vessels (USCG 1999-6224)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is necessary as part of an overall initiative by the Coast Guard to improve navigational safety for towing vessels. It will help ensure that the mariner piloting a towing vessel has the proper training and qualifications to handle the tug and tow. It will introduce a third level of license where there have been only two. Each level will require greater experience and proficiency than the one before. This will prevent a new operator with minimal experience from commanding the largest flotillas; it will prevent any operator from commanding the large flotillas until he or she has gained, and shown, the necessary competence. This rulemaking also introduces a requirement for demonstration of proficiency as a prerequisite to being issued a license. This will be in addition to the current requirements for sea service, physical examination, testing for drugs, and successful testing for competence. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the 1995 Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 (STCW) (CGD 95-062)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The International Maritime Organization (IMO) comprehensively amended the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 (STCW), in 1995. The amendments came into force on February 1, 1997. This project implements them by revising current regulations to ensure that the United States complies with their requirements on: the training of merchant mariners, the documenting of their qualifications, and watch-standing and other arrangements aboard seagoing merchant ships of the United States. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.  It also supports the goal of our directorate for Marine Safety and Environmental Protection for reducing deaths and injuries of crewmembers on domestic merchant vessels and eliminating substandard vessels from the navigable waters of the United States. This rulemaking is significant due to the potential impact on industry and the potential effect on international interests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Propeller Injury Prevention Aboard Rental Boats (USCG-2001-10299)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would examine the number and nature of injuries sustained from vessel propellers and help the Coast Guard determine the need for Federal or State regulation of these vessels, the livery companies leasing these vessels, or the operators of these vessels.  Any regulation would be implemented to reduce further injuries and fatalities involving rented boasts.  The National Boating Safety Advisory Council (NBSAC) recommended that the Coast Guard consider a number of alternatives to prevent injuries, including: installing pump jets, propeller cages or a combination of boarding ladder interlocks or shaft alarms, big warning placards, or other warning devices.  Future action is dependent upon consideration of reported injuries, comments received in response to past notices, results of the study conducted under a Coast Guard grant, available technology, and continued consultation with the NBSAC.  This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would revise the regulations on Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) activities to: add new requirements for fixed OCS facilities for lifesaving, fire protection, training, hazardous materials used as stores, and accommodation spaces; require foreign vessels engaged in OCS activities to comply with requirements similar to those imposed on U.S. vessels similarly engaged; and allow all mobile inland drilling units (MIDUs) to operate on the OCS out to a defined boundary line if they meet requirements for lifesaving, firefighting, and operations similar to those for fixed OCS facilities. This project would affect the owners and operators of facilities and vessels engaged in offshore activities associated with the exploration for, development of, or production of, the resources of the OCS. The preliminary estimate of costs imposed by these amendments varies according to the unit. The Coast Guard is consulting with the Minerals Management Service, part of the Department of the Interior. It supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety and environmental protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fire-Suppression Systems and Voyage Planning for Towing Vessels (USCG 2000-6931)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes requirements for (a) total-flooding or other installed systems for suppressing fires on existing towing vessels and (b) voyage-planning. The purpose of this rulemaking is to reduce oil spills from single-hull, non-self-propelled barges. Drifting oil barges have run aground and spilled their cargoes, causing considerable damage to marine life and the environment. This project was developed in cooperation with the Towing Safety Advisory Committee. It supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>This rulemaking was formerly titled &quot;Towing Vessel Safety (Fire Suppression Systems and Other Measures for Towing Vessels)&quot; (CGD 97-064).  It originally proposed requirements for three sets of issues relative to the safety of towing vessel safety issues: Fire-suppression systems and other measures, Control measures for tank barges, and fire-protection measures for towing vessels. The latter two components have developed into separate rulemakings: Emergency Control Measures for Tank Barges (USCG 1998-4443) (RIN 2115-AF65) and Fire Protection Measures for Towing Vessels (USCG 1998-4445) (RIN 2115-AF66).</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pollution Prevention for Oceangoing Ships and Certain Vessels in Domestic Service (USCG-2000-7641)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking concerns pollution prevention and the operational discharge of oil from vessels. It will align existing regulations on oil-water separators, operational discharge, damage and intact stability, and term of validity of International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificates with recent amendments under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 (MARPOL). It will affect U.S.-flagged tank ships of 10 gross tons or more and other U.S.-flagged ships of 400 gross tons or more. It will eliminate and reduce requirements for shore connections on certain vessels of 100 gross tons or more. This project supports the Coast Guard's Marine Safety and Environmental Protection program's goal to reduce the amount of oil discharged into United States waters from maritime sources by 20 percent, and the Coast Guard's strategic goals of marine safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules of Practice, Procedure, and Evidence for Administrative Proceedings of the Coast Guard (USCG 1998-3472)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard maintains two separate sets of procedural rules: for administrative adjudication against merchant mariners' licenses, certificates of registry, and documents, and for the adjudication of class II civil penalties. The rules for suspension and revocation, contained in part 5 of title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), date from 1948 and are based on criminal procedure. The rules for class II civil penalties, contained in part 20 of title 33 of the CFR, date from 1994 and are based on the Model Rules of Administrative Procedure and on other modern rules for civil procedure. Neither set implements the authority of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), which provides for the temporary suspension of a license, certificate of registry, or document for up to 45 days without a hearing, in certain circumstances, and a hearing within 30 days of any such suspension. This rulemaking would consolidate all procedural rules for administrative adjudications for class II civil penalties, and allow the Coast Guard to promulgate regulations implementing the OPA 90 authority. This project supports the strategic goal of the Coast Guard to promote marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety of Uninspected Passenger Vessels Under the Passenger Vessel Safety Act of 1993 (USCG-1999-5040)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking implements the Passenger Vessel Safety Act (PVSA) (Pub. L. 103-206) by amending the rules for Uninspected Passenger Vessels (UPVs). Specifically, the Coast Guard is considering amending existing UPV definitions to create a new class of UPV of at least 100 gross tons carrying not more than 12 passengers. The Coast Guard is considering operating, equipment, licensing and special permit application requirements appropriate for the new class of vessel. The Coast Guard is also considering adding definitions of "passenger," "passenger for hire," and "consideration" to bring its rules into conformity with the PVSA. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification of Navigation Lights for Uninspected Commercial Vessels and Recreational Vessels (USCG 1999-6580)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would place navigation lights for recreational vessels and uninspected commercial vessels under regulatory control similar to that already in place for inspected commercial vessels. Specifically, it would require certification that installed navigation lights are in compliance with the Navigation Rules' specifications, as evidenced by laboratory testing to a performance standard; this level of control is currently in place for other items of safety equipment. This action is in accordance with recommendations made by the National Boating Safety Advisory Council (NBSAC), the Navigation Safety Advisory Council (NAVSAC), and the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA). This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Traffic Service Lower Mississippi River (USCG-1998-4399)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project proposes to establish a new Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) area in the Lower Mississippi River region. This Vessel Traffic Service Area (VTSA) will span from 20 miles north of Baton Rouge (mile 255 AHP) out to sea, including the South and Southwest Pass. As part of the VTSA, a VTS Special Area will be designated between mile 93.5 and 95 AHP. Unlike traditional VTSs, which are based on radar and video surveillance and rely on voice communications by VHF-FM radio, when fully operational VTS Lower Mississippi River will use Automatic Identification System transponder technology to perform the majority of both surveillance and information exchange. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would grant an exemption from the present 7-knot speed limit in Tongass Narrows, AK, for float plane take-off and landing and vessels 26 feet in length or less. The geographic area for the speed limit would be expanded. A safety zone used for cruise ship anchorages would be redesignated as an anchorage area to reflect actual usage of the area and transiting vessels would be required to move quickly and directly through the anchorage, without rapid course changes, to increase safety. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mandatory Ship Reporting System off the Northeast and the Southeast Coasts of the United States (USCG-1999-5525)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory project establishes two mandatory ship reporting systems in areas off the U.S. Atlantic Coast to protect the endangered Northern Right Whale. These areas are critically important calving and feeding grounds for that species. Although right whales are also found outside of these areas, the two areas are targeted because they have both large numbers of whales and a high volume of ship traffic. Ship collisions are the largest known source of human related mortality of right whales. Communication between shore-based authorities and ships will minimize the risk of collision damage to ships and the whales as well as provide beneficial information to ships. The reporting system requires ships over 300 gross tons to notify the Coast Guard of their intention to enter these areas. In return, the mariners are provided with automated information about the last known locations of any right whales. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protecting the natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The International Maritime Organization established a June 30, 1999 implementation for a mandatory reporting system. Less than 300 northern right whales are now known to exist.  Designing an effective and simple reporting program in conjunction with other Federal agencies eliminated the availability of time to propose the regulations for comment prior to promulgation. However, the Coast Guard may revise the regulations in response to comments.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Raising the Threshold of Property Damage for Reports of Accidents Involving Recreational Vessels (USCG-1999-6094)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would increase the threshold for reporting recreational-boat accidents involving only property damage. Because of inflation since the threshold was last revised, the threshold now requires the reporting of a large number of minor accidents. These numbers distort the statistical base for the program in Recreational Boating Safety and increase the burden of paperwork on the boating public. Raising the threshold to an appropriate level would provide for a consistent statistical base and reduce the administrative burden on the Coast Guard and on States' accident-investigation personnel as well as the burden of paperwork on the boating public. This rule supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulatory project will establish hull examination alternatives and a drydock extension policy for qualifying passenger vessels that operate exclusively on benign, low-risk environments, and that have limited time under way. In addition, the proposed regulations would provide the option of alternating drydock examinations with underwater surveys for passenger vessels. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal Marine Safety and Environmental Protection Program's goal of mobility by facilitating commerce and eliminate interruptions and impediments to the economical movement of goods and people.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Noxious Liquid Substances, Obsolete Hazardous Materials in Bulk, and Current Hazardous Materials in Bulk (USCG-2000-7079)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard revises rules on carriage of hazardous materials in bulk, treating the rules in three parts:

First, the Coast Guard revises its rules on Noxious Liquid Substances (NLSs) to include substances recently authorized for carriage by the Coast Guard or added to the Chemical Codes of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and by making minor technical and editorial changes based on the actions taken in part C.

Second, the Coast Guard revises its rules, tables, and lists on carriage of hazardous materials in bulk by deleting from its rules, tables, and lists commodities that are no longer liquid cargoes transportable in bulk, and by canceling the classifications of obsolete commodities not included in those rules, tables, and lists.

Third, the Coast Guard revises its rules on carriage of hazardous materials in bulk by adding cargoes recently authorized for carriage by the Coast Guard or added to the Chemical Codes of the IMO and by making minor technical and editorial changes.

This three-part revision will update the tables of hazardous materials transportable in bulk and better inform persons shipping any such materials of the materials' compatibility and of special handling requirements. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

It would adopt, on waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within any State, any requirement for the wearing of a PFD established by that State for a child under an age specified by that State.  The rule would also set, on waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within any State lacking any such requirement, its own, comparable requirements.

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Documentation: Lease Financing for Vessels Engaged in the Coastwise Trade (USCG-2001-8825)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the regulations on the documentation of vessels engaged in the coastwise trade. It is a spin-off of Vessel Documentation (USCG 1998-4784) RIN 2115-AF71.  These proposals address statutory amendments eliminating certain barriers to seeking foreign financing by lease for U.S. flag vessels.  These proposals would clarify the information needed to determine the eligibility of a vessel financed in this manner for a coastwise endorsement.  This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to authorize the Mineral Management Service (MMS) to perform inspections, on behalf of the Coast Guard, on fixed facilities engaged in Outer Continental Shelf activities and to enforce Coast Guard regulations applicable to those facilities.  MMS already performs inspections on these facilities to determine whether they comply with MMS regulations.  By authorizing MMS to also check for compliance with Coast Guard regulations, we avoid duplicating functions, reduce Federal costs, and increase the frequency of inspections.  This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and environmental protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These routine and frequent regulations establish limited access zones in which the Coast Guard exercises control of all vessels to ensure the safety or security of events, vessels or individuals. They are usually of short duration, ranging from a few hours to a few days. Safety zones are established for events such as fireworks displays, high speed races, or the transit of dangerous cargoes such as explosives or liquefied petroleum gas. Security zones are established for Presidential or Vice Presidential visits, high profile events such as the Olympics, or controversial events such as transport of spent nuclear fuel. Safety and security zones are promulgated by Captains of the Port or District Commanders in response to requests or notifications from appropriate officials. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's strategic goals of marine safety, mobility, maritime security, and national defense. Total actions expected 10/01/2001 to 10/01/2002: 250.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These routine and frequent regulations are established where maritime and commercial interests require them for safety of navigation. Special anchorage areas are areas in which vessels of not more than 65 feet may anchor without displaying the required lights or sound signals. These special anchorage areas are limited geographically, and depending upon the purpose, establish both long- and short-term anchorages. Anchorage grounds are limited geographically, delineate the types and size of vessel which may use the anchorage, and may place time and other restrictions on its use. Special anchorage areas and anchorage grounds are promulgated by District Commanders in response to requests from appropriate officials.

        <RULE_TITLE>Escort Vessels for Certain Tankers (CGD 91-202)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking developed standards which implement section 4116(c) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. It addressed the areas of Prince William and Puget Sounds and requires a two-vessel escort for single-hull tankers greater than 5,000 gross tons. On November 1, 1994, the crash stop criteria were suspended because of industry concerns about meeting the criteria. On February 1, 1995, a notice of availability of a two-part study assessing the capability of escort tugs to control disabled tankers in Prince William Sound was published. This project supports the Coast Guard's Marine Safety and Environmental Protection program's goal to reduce the amount of oil discharged into the marine environment and the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protecting natural resources. This project is considered significant because of substantial public and State government interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These routine and frequent special local regulations ensure the safety of participants and spectators in regattas and marine parades. They specify such things as separate participant and spectator areas, separation schemes for watercraft in the area of the event, and temporary restrictions on waterways to accommodate the event. These rules are short-term, usually applying to a single event not exceeding 8 hours in duration, and usually encompassing only a small portion of a navigable waterway. These rules are promulgated by District Commanders in response to a request from a sponsoring organization. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety and maritime mobility of commercial and recreational vessel traffic.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These routine and frequent regulations establish operating schedules, and notice requirements, for drawbridges across navigable waterways. Drawbridge regulations establish the permanent draw operation schedules for bridges and specify what notice mariners must give to request an opening. Short-term deviations from the permanent schedule may be issued for bridge repairs or to test the effectiveness of a proposed new opening schedule. Drawbridge regulations are promulgated by District Commanders usually at the request of the bridge owner or operator, or of local officials or local Coast Guard bridge administration officials. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and maritime mobility of commercial and recreational vessel traffic. Total actions expected 10/01/2001 to 10/01/2002:  100.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Limited Service Domestic Voyage Load Lines for River Barges on Lake Michigan (USCG-1998-4623)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory project will allow certain unmanned dry cargo river barges operating on Lake Michigan to be exempted from the normal Great Lakes load line requirements provided instead that they obtain a limited domestic service load line for two specific routes (Chicago to Milwaukee, and Chicago to Muskegon). This will allow certain non-hazardous cargoes originating at inland river ports to be transported as far as Milwaukee and Muskegon by river barge, thereby benefiting from the relatively low cost per ton-mile of river barge transportation. Compliance is not mandatory other than for those river barge operators who voluntarily seek this special load line for their barges. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Carriage of Bulk Solid Materials Requiring Special Handling (USCG-2000-6932)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project will add materials carried with Special Permits issued under Coast Guard regulations and other materials contained in the International Maritime Organization Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMO Bulk Solids Code, or "BC Code"), including coal, to the list of materials permitted under the regulations. The special handling procedures associated with these materials are also included in the new rules. The revisions will harmonize U.S. regulations with recommended international practice, and eliminate the need to apply for Special Permits, except for newly classified hazardous materials. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety and mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>This project was initiated with an ANPRM (28 April 1989), and further developed in an NPRM (12 April 1994). In prioritizing resources, it was terminated on 13 April 1995. This regulatory project can now be reinitiated. Based on comments to the docket (previously CGD 87-069 and CGD 97-037), this is a non-controversial amendment to existing regulations.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require owners or operators of high-capacity passenger vessels in domestic service to develop, maintain, and exercise emergency response plans. Such plans would establish a process that prevents injury and loss of life during collisions, allisions, groundings, fires, and other emergencies. They would address issues such as passenger egress, crew training, and available emergency resources both on a vessel and in a vessel's operating area. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources. It is significant because of substantial public interest in passenger safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project involves reviewing and updating the commercial diving regulations, which are over 20 years old. A review of the commercial diving regulations is needed to determine what parts should be updated or changed based on the current standards of safety, technology, and industry practices and to evaluate and minimize any significant economic impact of the rules upon small entities. The project supports the Coast Guard Marine Safety and Environmental Protection Program's goal to reduce deaths and injuries on U.S. commercial vessels and the Coast Guard's strategic goal of safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Improvements to Maritime Safety in Puget Sound-Area Waters (USCG-1998-4501)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would promulgate measures to improve maritime safety in Puget Sound-Area waters including Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, passages around and through the San Juan Islands, and the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. Based on a determination by the Secretary of Transportation regarding the status of maritime safety in the Puget Sound-area, the Coast Guard has initiated a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis to study the feasibility of implementing new safety measures, including extended tug escort requirements and a dedicated response vessel. Public input will help focus this cost-benefit analysis and develop any future proposed rules, if deemed necessary. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard Marine Safety and Environmental Protection Program's goal to reduce the amount of oil discharged into the marine environment and the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of natural resources. This is a significant action due to substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Barges Carrying Bulk Liquid Hazardous Material (USCG-1999-5117)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking project will update the regulations for barges carrying bulk hazardous material to account for modernization of the industry. The current regulations for barges carrying bulk liquid hazardous materials were originally published in 1970. Over the past three decades, technology has advanced and industry practices have changed. This project will first ask for public comment to identify the rules which need to be updated. Once those rules are identified, the project will propose appropriate revisions to the Code of Federal Regulations. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard conducts an annual review of the Great Lakes Pilotage rate based on the "Great Lakes Pilotage Rates Methodology" published in the Federal Register on May 9, 1996. Depending on the results of this review, the Coast Guard can make rate adjustments in accordance with the regulations or, if the Director of Great Lakes Pilotage determines that pilotage rates are within a reasonable range of their target, make no adjustments to the rates. This rulemaking will recur annually after the "Notice of Annual Review" is published in the Federal Register and comments to that review are received. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the Coast Guard Navigation Safety Regulations regarding navigational charts and publications for public vessels.  It permits public vessels owned and operated by the U.S. government that are not engaged in commercial operations to use an agency-approved electronic charting and navigation system as an alternative to paper charts for navigation in U.S. waters.  The Coast Guard will also seek comments in a similar, proposed rulemaking for commercial vessels.  This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Discharge of Effluents in Certain Alaskan Waters by Cruise Vessel Operations (CGD 17-01-003)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard, as directed by Congress, issued regulations regarding sewage and graywater discharges from certain cruise vessels transiting applicable waters of Alaska.  Operators of cruise vessels carrying 500 or more passengers and transiting applicable waters of Alaska are restricted in where they may discharge effluents and are required to perform testing of sewage and graywater discharges and maintain records of such discharges.  The Coast Guard will inspect, monitor, and oversee this process to ensure compliance with applicable water quality laws and regulations. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of protection of natural resources by eliminating or reducing the affect of sewage and graywater discharge near U.S. coastlines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Improved Water Survival Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would add new requirements for water survival equipment carried aboard airplanes and rotorcraft. The requirements would apply, after specified dates, to U.S.-certificate holders that conduct common-carriage operations with airplanes and rotorcraft. This action is in response to the Airport and Airway Safety and Capacity Enhancement Act of 1987 (PL 100-223) and relates to safety recommendations by the National Transportation Safety Board. The requirements are intended to increase the likelihood of aircraft passengers surviving a crash landing in water and, thus, this rulemaking is significant because of the safety implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Retrofit of Improved Seats in Air Carrier Transport Category Airplanes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would require that all seats of transport category airplanes used in air carrier operations and transport category airplanes used in scheduled intrastate service comply with improved crashworthiness standards. The Airport and Airways Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1987 directs the Secretary of Transportation to initiate a rulemaking proceeding to consider requiring all seats on board all air carrier aircraft to meet improved crashworthiness standards based upon the best available testing standards. The intended effect of this action is to increase passenger protection and survivability in survivable impact accidents. This rulemaking is considered significant because of its safety implications and statutory requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Corrosion Control Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would ensure that airplanes used or not used in common carriage in air transportation have a comprehensive corrosion prevention program within their maintenance or inspection programs. In April 1988, a commercial transport airplane experienced an in-flight decompression and separation of approximately 18 feet of the fuselage skin and structure at the top of the airplane. The airplane had been in service for 19 years and had flown almost 90,000 flights. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the failure of the airline to detect skin disbonding resulted in corrosion and metal fatigue leading to separation of the airplane's skin structure. This rulemaking is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flight Crewmember Duty Period Limitations, Flight Time Limitations, and Rest Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations on duty period limitations, flight time limitations, and rest requirements for flight crewmembers engaged in air transportation. The FAA proposes additional changes in response to comments received on the NPRM.  The changes are necessary to ensure that the rules will continue to provide the minimum level of safety. This rulemaking responds to public and congressional interest in regulating flight crewmember rest requirements, NTSB Safety Recommendations, petitions for rulemaking, and scientific data. This action is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The aviation community requires 24-hour activities to meet operational demands. Growths in long-haul, regional, overnight cargo, and short-haul domestic operations are increasing. Therefore, shift work, night work, irregular work schedules, and time zone changes will continue to be commonplace. 

With this growth, the scientific knowledge about sleep, sleep disorders, circadian physiology, fatigue, and performance decrements has also grown. Some of the scientific knowledge has indicated that aviators experience performance-impairing fatigue from sleep loss resulting from current flight and duty practices. 

In addition, industry and individuals have told the FAA that the current regulations are confusing and difficult to enforce. Therefore, a second purpose of the rulemaking is to establish consistent and clear duty period limitations and rest requirements for all types of operations.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 44701, title 49 of the United States Code states that the Administrator shall promote safety of flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing minimum standards required in the interest of safety.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[One obvious alternative would be to continue with the current rules, however, these regulations are rapidly becoming obsolete.  As a second alternative, one commenter asked that the FAA develop a standard and then allow each carrier to design a rest/duty program that would meet that standard while accommodating differences in operations.  While this works for certain rules, such as training regulations where the standard is training to proficiency, there is no way to apply this application to individual pilots on a daily basis.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[Although there has been only one identifiable accident due to pilot fatigue, fatigue is increasingly becoming the focus of possible causes following all accidents. Pilot reports of being fatigued to the point of incapacity are not uncommon, and intuitively, it is reasonable, given the sheer volume of air traffic, to expect fatigue to be a factor in future accidents if the regulations are not corrected.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>False and Misleading Statements Regarding Aircraft Parts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes additional rules that would prohibit certain false or misleading statements regarding civil aircraft, airframes, aircraft engines, propellers, appliances, component parts, and materials, including standard parts, that are used, or may be used, on civil aircraft. The proposals would also permit increased inspection by the FAA of records regarding the quality of aircraft parts. The additional rules are needed to help prevent persons from representing parts as suitable for use on civil aircraft when in fact they may not be. The proposals are intended to provide assurance that aircraft owners and operators, and persons who maintain aircraft, have truthful information on which to determine whether a part may be used in a given civil aircraft application. This action is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Licensing and Safety Requirements for Launch</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would establish requirements for licensing the conduct of a launch from a non-Federal launch site. The law requires anyone who proposes to conduct a launch within the United States, or a U.S. citizen proposing to conduct a launch site outside the United States, to obtain a license from DOT. This action would govern obtaining a license to conduct such a launch. Currently, commercial rocket launches take place from Federal Government installations operated by the Department of Defense and NASA. Licensing requirements for those launches are being developed in a related licensing rulemaking (RIN 2120-AF99). In this action, DOT proposes to implement rules regarding obtaining a license to conduct a launch from a commercial launch site, where DOT, rather than NASA or the military has primary responsibility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Child Restraint Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action sought public comment on issues relating to the use of child restraint systems in aircraft during all phases of flight (i.e., taxi, takeoff, landing, or any other time the seat belt sign is illuminated). Specifically, the agency sought information about existing child restraint systems, the development of new and improved child restraint systems, the ease with which existing or new child restraint systems can be used, and the effectiveness of changing the current child restraint system regulations. The advance notice gathered information in response to a recommendation made by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security. Approximately 130 comments were received on the ANPRM. This information is needed so that the FAA can determine the best way to ensure the safety of children while on board aircraft. After such a determination is made, the FAA may issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking with specific regulatory proposals that respond to the Commission's recommendations regarding the use of child restraint systems.

        <RULE_TITLE>Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to require the installation and use of a traffic alert and collision system (TCAS) on certain cargo airplanes. Current regulations do not require TCAS installation on all-cargo airplanes. However, because the air cargo industry has experienced rapid growth and is increasingly sharing air space with other air carriers, the FAA is proposing this action to minimize the possibility of midair collisions involving cargo airplanes. This rulemaking proposes that affected airplanes be equipped with TCAS II, or another approved traffic alert and collision avoidance system, as appropriate, no later than October 31, 2003. This action is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Tour Operations in State of Hawaii</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to extend SFAR 71, which established certain procedural, operational, and equipment requirements for air tour operators in the State of Hawaii.  The FAA intends to issue a national air tour safety proposal in the near future, but until this rulemaking becomes final, there is a need to extend SFAR 71 to ensure the continuing safe environment for conducting air tours in Hawaii.  During the 9 year period between 1982 and 1991, there were 11 air tour accidents with 24 fatalities in Hawaii.  The apparent causes of the accidents ranged from engine power loss to encounters with adverse weather.  On September 26, 1994, the FAA published an emergency final rule as SFAR 71.  The rule established additional operating procedures, including minimum safe altitudes (and associated increases in visual flight rules weather minimums), minimum equipment requirements, and operational limitations for air tour aircraft in the State of Hawaii.  SFAR 71 was subsequently extended until October 26, 2000. This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA proposes to update and revise the regulations governing operations by aircraft in fractional ownership programs.  Current regulations do not adequately define fractional ownership programs nor clearly allocate responsibility and authority for safety and compliance with the regulations.  This proposal will define fractional ownership programs and their participants, allocate responsibility and authority for safety of flight operations for purposes of compliance with the regulations, and ensure that fractional ownership program aircraft operations maintain a high level of safety.

The FAA will no longer include these provisions in individual airworthiness directives.  This will shorten individual airworthiness directives, making them easier for readers to use.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA is withdrawing a previously published Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed to amend various sections of the regulations. The proposal was to clarify language, correct improper or obsolete references, and to relax certain existing requirements. Since publication of the NPRM, many other completed, in-process, or planned actions have addressed or will address many of the issues involved. The FAA has determined that all unresolved issues should be included in more recent actions dealing with the specific sections of the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>1-G Stalling Speed as a Basis for Aircraft Parts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the Federal Aviation Regulations to redefine the airplane reference stalling speed as the 1-g stalling speed in lieu of the minimum stalling speed. It would: (1) provide for a consistent, repeatable reference stalling speed; (2) ensure consistent and dependable maneuvering margins; (3) clarify the requirement for the use of 1-g stalling speeds in determining structural design speeds; (4) increase the head-on gust structural design requirement; and (5) provide for adjusted multiplying factors to maintain essentially equivalent requirements in areas where the use of minimum stalling speed has proven adequate. These changes are needed since the stalling characteristics of modern jet transports as determined by current methods can result in inconsistent reference stalling speeds. These changes may result in a higher level of safety where current methods have resulted in artificially low reference stalling speeds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Aging Aircraft Safety</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 5, 1993, the FAA published an NPRM that proposed to require air carriers of certain aircraft used in air transportation to demonstrate that the aircraft's maintenance has been adequate to ensure the highest degree of safety. After further review, and taking into consideration public comments to the NPRM, the FAA withdrew that NPRM. On March 19, 1999, the FAA issued a new NPRM that would ensure the continuing airworthiness of the most significant aging airplanes operating in air transportation by mandating aging aircraft records reviews and inspections for certain air carriers and certain aircraft and also by applying modern damage-tolerance analyses and inspection techniques to older airplane structures that were certificated before such techniques were available. The comment period closed on October 18, 1999, This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System and Mode S Transponder Requirements in the National Airspace System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would revise the Mode S transponder requirement for all aircraft operating under part 135 and certain aircraft operating under part 121 based on the expected availability of operational capabilities of Mode S ground sensors. For part 121 operators, the action would affect only those aircraft not required to have Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System II. An aviation rulemaking advisory committee has recommended that the FAA conduct a study of the installed Mode S ground sensor to determine the extent of the benefits derived and the costs involved in equipage. This action is a relieving action made necessary by the fact that ground sensors are not in place to support the requirement. Further, FAA is studying the need for Mode S transponders in part 135 and certain part 121 operations in light of the fact that transponders may not substantially increase ATC ability to view air traffic.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposed to adjust requirements for access to type III emergency exits in transport category airplanes with 60 or more passenger seats. The adjustments would reflect new data from tests conducted at the FAA's Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) and intended to improve the ability of occupants to evacuate an airplane under emergency conditions. The FAA is withdrawing this proposed rulemaking as some of the information is outdated.  The CAMI research is still ongoing.  The FAA may issue a new rulemaking  in the future.

        <RULE_TITLE>Flight Operational Quality Assurance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA proposes to codify an FAA policy encouraging the voluntary implementation of Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) programs for the routine analysis of flight data generated during line operations that reveal situations which require corrective action to prevent safety problems.  The rule would also clarify the circumstances under which information obtained from voluntary FOQA programs could be used in enforcement actions against air carriers, commercial operators, or airmen.  The rule would require air carriers participating in FOQA program to submit aggregate FOQA data to the FAA for use in monitoring safety trends.  Under the proposed rule, the FAA may use aggregate FOQA data as a basis to promulgate safety rulemakings or to address situations calling for remedial enforcement action, e.g., a lack of qualification on the part of an operator or aircraft.  This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Emergency Evacuation Demonstration Procedures To Improve Participant Safety</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend part 25 of the FAR by revising Appendix J, Emergency Evacuation, to allow certain alternative procedures in conducting full-scale emergency evacuation demonstrations for transport category airplanes. This is in response to recommendations from the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee. The changes, which are intended to make full-scale emergency evacuation demonstrations safer for participants and to codify existing practices, would also affect manufacturers and operators of transport category airplanes. This action is considered significant because of substantial public interest and safety implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Overflights of Units of the National Park System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA and National Park Service (NPS) established a joint working group which is tasked with developing a notice of proposed rulemaking to reduce or prevent adverse effects of aircraft noise over our national park system. At the same time, the working group is charged with affording those persons who wish to visit our national parks from the air the opportunity to do so. The working group met from May to November 1997, and developed a concept paper that was approved by the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee and the NPS Advisory Board in December 1997. A notice of proposed rulemaking has been developed and is now being reviewed by the FAA and NPS. In April 1999, the FAA issued a disposition of comments to the ANPRM. That document summarizes those comments to the ANPRM and provides an update to the public on matters concerning air tours over units of the national park system. In response to Public Law 106-181, April 5, 2000, the FAA and NPRS developed an NPRM that proposes to codify the language of the legislation and to adopt an altitude that would define a commercial air tour operation.  This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This statement announces the FAA's proposed policy for acquisition, installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of the instrument landing system (ILS) and the microwave landing system (MLS) during the transition to the global positioning system (GPS). The policy statement of December 1989 announced the transition from the ILS to the MLS for precision approach service in the National Airspace System. Since that time, advancement of GPS-based landing system technology has provided a more economical means of providing approach services.]]></ABSTRACT>

This is in response to a recommendation from the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security (The Commission) "Final Report to President Clinton." The Commission recommended that one of the steps that should be taken to improve airline passenger security is the implementation by the FAA of a computerized system for profiling airline passengers flying out of airports located in the United States.

        <RULE_TITLE>Policy Regarding Airport Rates and Charges</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A statement of policy, Policy Regarding Airport Rates and Charges (Policy Statement), which was required by Congress as part of the DOT Authorization Act of 1994, was published in the Federal Register (61 FR 31994) on June 21, 1996. That Policy Statement announced DOT and FAA policy on the fees charged by Federally assisted airports to air carriers and other aeronautical users. This proposed action requests comments on replacement provisions for the portions of the Policy Statement vacated by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Court disallowed a portion of the policy that had to do with historic cost valuation of airport property. DOT and FAA are beginning this proceeding in order to carry out their responsibility to establish reasonableness guidelines for airport fees. This policy is significant due to substantial industry interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Improved Flammability Standards for Thermal/Acoustic Insulation Materials Used in Transport Category Airplanes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes upgraded flammability standards that specifically address flame propagation and entry of an external fire into the airplane (burnthrough) under realistic fire scenarios. The proposed standards are intended to reduce the incidence and severity of cabin fires, particularly those ignited in inaccessible areas where thermal/acoustic insulation materials are typically installed. Also the proposed standards would provide an increased level of safety with respect to post-crash fires by delaying the entry of such a fire into the cabin, thereby providing additional time for evacuation and enhancing survivability. The new standards would apply to new type designs, and newly manufactured airplanes entering parts 91, 121, 125, and 135 service. This action is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Service history and laboratory testing demonstrate that the current flammability requirements applicable to thermal/acoustic insulation materials may not be providing the intended protection against the spread of fires.  Additionally, the FAA considers that increased protection against external fire penetrating the fuselage can be provided by proper selection of the same material.  These new test methods would not only provide for increased in-flight fire safety, by reducing the flammability of thermal/acoustic insulation blankets, but would provide increased time for evacuation during externally fed, post crash fires by increasing fuselage burnthrough resistance.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[49 USC 4401 empowers the Administrator to prescribe regulations and minimum standards in the interest of safety for aircraft and equipment.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The FAA considered several options to identify the least intrusive and most cost effective alternative to increase the level of safety for insulation materials.  The alternatives considered were as follows:  (1) Utilize the industry test instead of the requirements proposed; this would not screen out certain types of materials shown to propagate a fire under more realistic conditions, but would screen out the worst performers.  (2) Limit replacement of insulation materials to only certain parts of the airplane; it is not feasible to specify areas of the airplane that are more crucial than others.  This would be an economic consideration that would not address safety issues.  (3) Change the effectivity or compliance times to reduce the number of airplanes affected; the proposal will be designed to optimize costs versus benefits in this regard.  Changes to either would be less than optimal.  (4) Propose  some combination of the above.  Other combinations would either reduce the level of safety or be less cost-effective.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The total costs of this rule is $68.0 million, or $36.5 million discounted to present value if only blanket material changes are made to the aircraft.  If manufacturers need to make configuration changes to the aircraft as well as material changes to their drawings, the FAA estimates that total costs would be $103.1 million or $68.2 million discounted to present value.  The FAA is unable to quantify the benefits for this rule.  However, preventing the loss of one airplane and its passengers over the 20-year period is not likely.  Assuming such a loss would occur at the midpoint of the analysis, or in 2009, with 169 passengers, the nondiscounted loss would be $455.5 million, or $231.5 million discounted to present value (again, assuming society's willingness to pay $2.7 million to avoid a fatality).  This loss does not include the value of the airplane.  Even without loss of life, as several of the incidents show, a hull loss could exceed tens of millions of dollars.  The FAA therefore has determined that this proposed rule would be cost beneficial.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The FAA is aware of several events in which the flammability characteristics of thermal/acoustic insulation material may have been a contributing factor of airplane fires.  The FAA initiated investigations and research to determine the appropriateness of applying existing Bunsen burner flammability criteria to thermal/acoustic insulation, as typically installed in concealed and inaccessible areas.  This rule is necessary to decrease the risk of fires on airplanes and to improve airplane fire safety.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA intends to conduct a 610 review (a review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act) of this part and RIN 2120-AG93 has been added to the Agenda to reflect this review. The FAA carries out its responsibility to promote safety of flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing minimum standards governing the design and construction of aircraft, aircraft engines and propellers and appliances as may be required in the interest of safety. The FAA has established procedural requirements in 14 CFR part 21 for the issuance of the following certificates and approvals: (1) type certificates and changes to type certificates; (2) production certificates; (3) airworthiness certificates; (4) export airworthiness certificates and approvals; and (5) approvals of certain materials, parts processes and appliances produced for sale or installation on a type certificated product. Also contained in this part are the rules governing the holders of certificates. In order to be issued a type certificate, the applicant must show that the product complies with the airworthiness standards for the product (aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller). The airworthiness standards are amended as needed to reflect continually changing technology, correct design deficiencies, and provide safety enhancements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification of Airports</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to revise the current airport certification regulation and to establish certification requirements for airports serving scheduled air carrier operations in aircraft with 10 to 30 seats. In addition, changes are proposed to address National Transportation Safety Board recommendations and petitions for exemptions and rulemaking. A section of an air carrier operation regulation also would be amended to conform with proposed changes to airport certification requirements. The FAA believes that these proposed revisions are necessary to ensure safety in air transportation and to provide a comparable level of safety at all certificated airports. This action is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The last major revision to the airport certification regulation occurred in 1987, and since then, industry practices, and technology have changed.  To respond to such changes, the FAA is proposing to revise the regulation to clarify and update several requirements.  Additionally, with the passage of the 1996 FAA Reauthorization Act, Congress provided the FAA the necessary authority to certificate airports serving scheduled air carrier operations with 10 to 30 seat aircraft, except in the State of Alaska (in addition to existing authority to regulate airports serving air carrier operations using aircraft with more than 30 seats).  To achieve a comparable level of safety at all covered airports, FAA now proposes to exercise this authority and amend the regulation to incorporate airports serving smaller air carrier aircraft into the FAA's airport certification program.  Also, the 2000 FAA Reauthorization Act (P.L. 106-181) mandates publication of the NPRM within 60 days of the Act's enactment; and publication of the final rule within one year of the close of comment period for airports serving smaller air carrier aircraft.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FAA has general and specific authority to regulate airports as set out in 49 USC 106(g) and 44701.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The FAA has considered several alternative approaches to this proposed rulemaking and has attempted to minimize the potential economic impact of the proposal, especially the impact on small entities.  In addition, this action fulfills the FAA's responsiblilty to meet deadlines established by Congress to certificate airports serving scheduled air carrier operations with 10 to 30 seat aircraft, except for the State of Alaska.  The FAA considered alternatives based on two issues.  Issue 1 was the revision of 14 CFR 139, and Issue 2 was the certification of airports serving scheduled operations of small air carrier aircraft with 10-30 passenger seats.  The FAA determined that it was necessary to revise 14 CFR 139 and that the revised part 139 should include the certification of airports serving scheduled air carrier operations with 10 to 30 passenger seat aircraft.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Most of the costs of this proposed rule are associated with the proposed improvements to safety and operational requirements.  Most of these costs result from the expansion of ARFF services.  The present value of the total cost of the rule over a 10-year period is approximately $46 million, which includes training, additional emergency response protection, wildlife management, and an updated airport certification manual that better reflects current best practices.  With the tremendous cost of aviation accidents, the proposed rule provides the potential for enhanced safety for a reasonable cost.  The expected benefit of this proposed rule is an enhanced level of safety resulting in reduced fatalities, injuries, and property damage at airports with scheduled air carrier operations, particularly operations in aircraft configured with 10 to 30 passenger seats.  The cost of a single accident of a 30-seat scheduled passenger aircraft is greater than the total cost of the proposal.  Other benefits of this proposal include provisions for snow and ice control, wildlife management, and training.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The purpose of this rulemaking is to expand and enhance the safety benefits of the current regulation by providing, to the extent possible, a comparable level of safety at all airports used by air carriers.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes changes to the noise certification standards for subsonic  jet airplanes and subsonic transport category large airplanes.  These proposed changes are based on the joint effort of the FAA, the European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), and Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC), to harmonize the U.S. noise certification regulations and the European Joint Aviation Requirements for subsonic jet airplanes and subsonic transport category large airplanes.  These proposed changes would provide nearly uniform noise certifications standards for airplanes certificated in the U.S. and in the JAA countries.  The harmonization of the noise certification standards would simplify airworthiness approvals for import and export purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safe Disposition of Life Limited Aircraft Parts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action responds to the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century by proposing that all persons who remove any life-limited aircraft part be required to have a method to prevent the installation of that part that has reached its life limit.  Current regulations do not adequately control the disposition of life-limited parts.  This action would reduce the risk of life-limited parts from being used beyond their life limits.  This proposal would also require that manufacturers of the parts provide marking instructions, when requested.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to amend airspace rules where Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) may be applied to include the West Atlantic Route System (WATRS) airspace.  RVSM is the reduction of the vertical separation of aircraft from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet at flight levels (FLs) between FL 290 (29,000 feet) and FL 410 (41,000 feet).  RVSM is applied only between aircraft that meet stringent altimeter and autopilot performance requirements.  RVSM is currently applied in North Atlantic (NAT) Minimum Navigation Performance Specifications (MNPS) and Pacific airspace.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to eliminate the need for approval by FAA of antidrug program and alcohol misuse prevention program plans and delete periodic drug testing requirement, and change the pre-employment testing requirements to require pre-hire rather than preemployment drug testing.  This proposal will also make other minor or terminological changes to the regulations.  The FAA believes that changing or eliminating these requirements would not compromise safety and would lessen a burden on the regulated public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Airspeed Indicating System Requirements for Transport Category Airplanes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action amends the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes concerning the airspeed indicating system. This rule adds airspeed indication requirements for speeds greater than and less than the speed range for which airspeed indication accuracy requirements currently apply, would add a requirement that airspeed indications not cause the pilot undue difficulty between the initiation of rotation and the achievement of a steady climbing condition during takeoff, and would also add a requirement to limit the effects of airspeed lag.  Adopting this rulemaking eliminates a regulatory difference between the airworthiness standards of the U.S. and the Joint Aviation Requirements of Europe, without affecting current industry design practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Airworthiness Directives</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA issues type certificates for "products," which are aircraft, engines, propellers, and some appliances. The FAA issues a regulation called an "Airworthiness Directive" (AD) to address an unsafe condition in a type certificated product, if that unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop in products of the same type design. Part 39 of title 14 requires each operator of a product affected by an AD to comply with the terms of the AD, in order to operate that product; the AD may mandate operational limitations, maintenance, or alterations for the affected product. The vast majority of routine and frequent Airworthiness Directives are nonsignificant. Total actions expected-650. 10/00/2001 to 10/00/2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) provide for instrument letdown to airports in the United States. They are a nonsignificant body of regulations that are complex and technical in nature and require routine and frequent rulemaking to maintain efficiency. The FAA issues, revises, and cancels SIAPs by adopting amendments that are incorporated into 14 CFR part 97. Contemporaneously with publication in the Federal Register, the SIAPs are made available to the Aeronautical Charting and Cartography Office in the FAA and other publishers of aeronautical charts where they are published as approach procedure charts or "approach plates." These charts are made available to the members of the aviation community for use by pilots in making instrument approaches. Total actions expected--2,500. 10/00/2001 - 10/00/2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Low Fuel Quantity Alerting System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes to require a means to alert the flight crew of potentially unsafe low fuel quantities. There have been several fuel depletion incidents involving loss of power or thrust on all engines that could have resulted in forced landings and injury or loss of life. Most of these incidents resulted from improper fuel management techniques. This proposed amendment would require new transport category airplane designs to incorporate a low fuel quantity alert system that would allow for correction of certain fuel management errors or provide the flight crew the opportunity to make a safe landing prior to engine fuel starvation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes to require improved cowling retention devices. A review of a number of inflight incidents where engine cowlings were lost revealed that the largest single cause of such losses was improper latching of the cowlings. If adopted, this proposal would provide additional design standards to detect improperly latched cowlings and ensure the integrity of the latching system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Type Certificates for Some Surplus Aircraft of the Armed Forces</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Following World War II, a substantial number of surplus military airplanes were offered for sale to the public in order to meet an increased demand for civilian-use aircraft not being met by the civil aircraft industry. The current regulation permits both type and airworthiness certification for surplus military aircraft based on the particular aircraft's safety record and condition. As military aircraft have become increasingly complex and sophisticated, that practice is no longer acceptable. This action would remove the regulations for issuing type certificates for these surplus aircraft and eliminate references to obsolete standards. Surplus military aircraft would still be certificated in the normal, utility, acrobatic, commuter, transport, and restricted categories upon compliance with the applicable regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Aircraft Ground Deicing and Anti-Icing Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action establishes a requirement for part 121 certificate holders to develop an FAA-approved ground deicing/anti-icing program and to comply with that program any time conditions are such that frost, ice, or snow could adhere to the aircraft's wings, control surfaces, or propellers. This action is necessary because several accidents and the recent International Conference on Airplane Ground Deicing indicate that, under present procedures, the pilot in command may be unable to effectively determine whether critical airplane components are free of all frost, ice, or snow prior to attempting a takeoff. The action provides an added level of safety to flight operations in adverse weather conditions, and is considered significant because of its safety implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Programs of Foreign Air Carriers and Foreign Operators of U.S. Registered Air Carriers Engaged in Common Carriage</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As an action intended to implement the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (PL 104-132, 4/14/96), the FAA is proposing to amend existing airplane operator security rules for foreign air carriers and foreign operators of U.S. registered aircraft. The proposed amendment would require the Administrator to accept a foreign air carrier's program only if the Administrator finds that the security program provides for identical security measures to those provided by U.S. air carriers serving the same airport. The proposed rule will establish the obligation to use identical security measures. The actual measures to be used will be identified through changes to the nonpublic security program of the foreign air carriers. This rule is considered significant due to substantial public interest and concern of foreign governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Noise Limitations for Aircraft Operations in the Vicinity of Grand Canyon National Park</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will establish noise limitations for certain aircraft operated in the vicinity of Grand Canyon National Park. This action is one part of an overall strategy to reduce further the impact of aircraft noise on the park environment and to assist the National Park Service (NPS) in achieving its statutory mandate imposed by Public Law 100-91 to provide for the substantial restoration of natural quiet and experience in Grand Canyon National Park. The supplemental amendment removes two sections from the December 31, 1996, notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed to establish a corridor through the National Canyon area as an incentive route for quiet technology aircraft. The FAA and NPS have determined not to proceed with an air tour route in the vicinity of National Canyon and are presently considering alternatives to this route. This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibition of the Transportation of Devices Designed as Chemical Generators as Cargo in Aircraft</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposes to ban the transportation of devices designed to chemically generate oxygen in certain aircraft, with limited exceptions. This proposed ban applies to newly manufactured chemical oxygen generators that have never been filled with chemicals. It would also apply to devices designated as chemical oxygen generators that have been discharged (spent) or that are past their expiration dates. The FAA believes that newly manufactured chemical oxygen generators might be manufactured in one location and transported to another location to be filled. This could lead to human factors errors in determining whether the device designed as a chemical oxygen generator is actually empty. 

In a final rule effective March 1, 2000, the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) prohibited the transportation on an aircraft of a "spent" chemical oxygen generator, i.e., a generator whose means of ignition and all or a part of its chemical contents have been expended.  (See RIN 2137-AC92) 

This rulemaking is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Standards for Cargo or Baggage Compartments in Transport Category Airplanes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action upgrades the fire safety standards for cargo or baggage compartments in certain transport category airplanes by eliminating Class D compartments altogether. Compartments that could no longer be designated as Class D would have to meet the standards for Class C or Class E compartments, as applicable. Certain other transport category airplanes that would not have to meet these new standards for type certification would have to meet them for use in air carrier, commuter, on-demand, or commercial service. These improved standards are needed to increase protection from possible in-flight fires. This rulemaking is considered significant because of the safety implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would have made changes to the airworthiness standards to improve the crash resistance of fuel systems on normal, utility, acrobatic, and commuter category airplanes. The changes would have improved crash resistance of these systems by limiting fuel spillage near ignition sources and thus provide additional time for the survivors of an impact to evacuate the airplane. The FAA has withdrawn the NPRM.  As a result of the comments received, the FAA completed a revised economic evaluation of these safety recommendations and has concluded that the costs of the proposed changes are not justified by the potential benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Part 145 Review: Repair Stations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action updates and revises the regulations for repair stations. This action is necessary because many portions of the current repair station regulations do not reflect technical advances in aircraft maintenance practices or aircraft technology. These revisions reorganize the repair station rules to reduce duplication of regulatory language and eliminate obsolete information. This action also removes the appendix to the repair station regulations that sets forth the job functions and equipment requirements for repair stations. This rulemaking is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sole Radio Navigation System; Minimum Standards for Certification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA is withdrawing a previously published Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) that proposed to establish minimum standards under which a radio navigation system may be certified as the sole radio navigation system required in an aircraft conducting Instrument Flight Rules en route and terminal area operations, including nonprecision approach, in controlled airspace of the United States. This rulemaking was considered to be significant because of a congressional mandate. However, the provision was repealed in 1994 as part of the recodification of title 49. The provision was originally enacted as section 310(c) in FAA's 1987 Reauthorization bill, Pub. L. No. 100-123.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes to harmonize hydraulic systems design and test requirements with standards proposed for the European Joint Aviation Requirements. These actions were developed in cooperation with the Joint Aviation Authorities of Europe and the US and European aviation industries through the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC). These changes are intended to benefit the public interest by standardizing certain requirements, concepts, and procedures contained in the airworthiness standards without reducing and potentially enhancing the current level of safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fees for FAA Services for Certain Flights</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the 1996 FAA Reauthorization Act, the FAA is issuing another interim rule to establish fees and collection procedures for FAA air traffic and related services provided to certain aircraft that transit U.S.-controlled airspace but neither take off from, nor land in, the United States. Previously, the FAA issued an interim final rule that was remanded back to FAA by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. That interim final rule was withdrawn by the final rule issued on July 24, l998. The new interim final rule complies with the Court's decision. This action is significant because of substantial public and congressional interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transport Airplane Fleet Fuel Tank Ignition Source Review; Flammability Reduction, and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will require type certificate holders of certain turbojet and turbofan-powered transport category airplanes to conduct a design review of fuel tank systems and develop fuel system inspection and maintenance instructions. It will also allow a certificate holder to submit documentation that the type design of the fuel system of a previously certificated airplane precludes existence of ignition sources within the airplane's fuel tanks. This action is significant because of substantial public interest in the prevention of fire and explosion in airplane fuel tanks.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking has been downgraded to Nonsignificant because the Congressional interest has been adequately addressed by formalizing current practice (Financial Responsibility Requirements for Licensed Launch Activities) that resulted in little or no additional cost to the industry.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the aircraft certification requirements by removing a provision that allows a Stage 3 airplane to operate for 90 days with a Stage 2 engine.  As of December 31, 1999, no person may operate an airplane to or from any airport in the contiguous United States unless the airplane complies with Stage 3 noise levels.  The intended effect is to prohibit use of Stage 2 engines where the engine and/or nacelle changes would result in the airplane failing to comply with Stage 3 noise requirements.  
The FAA is terminating this action, because the agency no longer has to pursue this rulemaking because the International Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection has initiated work to study this area and the FAA wants to wait to make sure that any rulemaking proposals we propose reflect the international agreement reached.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The revision of these subparts will reduce their complexity, recognize the existence of State laws, regulations, and organizations implementing 23 USC 131, and emphasize the position of the State as the initial, primary, and principal focal point regarding the requirement of effective control. Potential costs should be reduced, albeit minimally. The principal benefit will be to give the States greater ability, in the context of the broad requirements of 23 USC 131, to respond to concepts and issues relevant to the States. We have been reviewing these regulations with the intent to focus on changes necessitated by ISTEA and subsequent legislation (NHS Act, etc.).

We have initiated research projects to identify key information States need to administer their outdoor advertising control (OAC) programs. We will evaluate that study and incorporate the results in our proposed ANPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Work Zone Safety</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA is proposing to amend its regulations on traffic safety and mobility in highway and street work zones. Section 1051 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) required the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) to develop and implement a highway work zone safety program which would improve work zone safety at highway construction sites. This provision of ISTEA was implemented through non-regulatory action.

A notice published in the Federal Register on October 24, 1995 (60 FR 54562) provided an outline of the work zone safety initiative.
 
The current proposed regulatory action will further enhance the work zone safety initiative by expanding its focus to include both safety and mobility. The proposed action will incorporate the use of new work zone techniques and technologies, update current policy and regulation, and emphasize issues affecting the safety and mobility of highway workers and highway users.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA is seeking comments regarding improvements that can be made to its regulation outlining the highway bridge replacement and rehabilitation program.  In addition, the FHWA is considering the inclusion and/or modification of existing policies so that they provide the flexibility necessary for the State and local governments to better manage their bridge assets.  Accordingly, the FHWA intends to publish an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking. 

The FHWA is also considering proposed revisions to the discretionary bridge program rating factor, which will be addressed in a separate rulemaking action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, the FHWA would solicit comments on whether its regulation on National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) should be revised and updated.  The FHWA would solicit comment on whether there is a need to update the regulations to incorporate current, state of the art bridge inspection practices which public authorities may be using.  A public authority means a Federal, State, county, town, or township, Indian Tribe, municipal or other local government or instrumentality with the authority to finance, build, operate, or maintain toll or toll-free facilities.  The primary purpose of the NBIS is to identify bridges that need work to ensure the safety of the traveling public.  The NBIS regulation was last updated 14 years ago.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification of Size and Weight Enforcement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA has resumed consideration of changes in the guidance provided to State agencies for preparing the annual size and weight enforcement certifications. Previous efforts in this area were suspended by the agency in 1994 as a result of a commitment by the Federal Highway Administrator to Congress in June 1994 to conduct a comprehensive study of all aspects of the truck size and weight issue. That study is nearly completed. Accordingly, public comment is again requested on the type of information and data that should be submitted by the States in support of their annual certification of enforcement, and how the FHWA should use the information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA is proposing to revise the existing regulations that prescribe policies and procedures for advancing the construction of Federal-aid highway projects without obligating Federal funds apportioned or allocated to the States. These regulations should be revised to conform to changes made to title 23, United States Code, by technical amendments in the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21), Pub. L. 105-178, and changes made by the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 (NHS), Pub. L. 104-59.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice of proposed amendment is intended to revise the MUTCD to include a standard for a minimum level of retroreflectivity that must be maintained for traffic signs. This minimum level is to ensure that highway users can detect and read the sign during nighttime conditions. Although the MUTCD states that regulatory and warning signs, and some guide signs, need to reflectorize, no level of retroreflectivity is specified. In recognition of this situation, the United States Congress directed the U.S. Department of Transportation, through the 1993 Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, to revise the MUTCD to include a standard for minimum levels of retroreflectivity that must be maintained.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Lands Highway Program; Management Systems Pertaining to the National Park Service, Including the Park Roads and Parkways Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA was delegated the authority to serve as the lead agency to develop transportation planning procedures pertaining to the National Park Service, the Forest Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs that are consistent with the metropolitan and statewide transportation planning processes. The FHWA and the appropriate Federal land management agencies are also given the authority to develop safety, bridge, pavement, and congestion management systems for roads funded under the Federal lands highways program (FLHP). The roads funded under the FLHP include park roads and parkways, forest highways, refuge roads and Indian reservation roads. 

The FHWA sought public comment on four related ANPRMs that were published on September 1, 1999.  The comment period closed on November 1, 1999.  Six organizations provided comments on the ANPRM pertaining to the National Park Service (NPS) and the park roads and parkways program.  The comments generally supported the development of a separate rule for each agency including one for the NPS.  In an NPRM, the FHWA will seek public comment on a proposed rule to implement section 1115(d) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) implementing safety, bridge, pavement, and congestion management systems developed by FHWA's Federal Lands Highway program office in consultation with the NPS.  The NPRM is designated as significant under E.O. 12866 and the DOT regulatory policies and procedures because of the high level of interagency interest in the notices and involved program.  The transportation planning procedures will be addressed in a separate NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA was delegated the authority to serve as the lead agency to develop transportation planning procedures pertaining to the National Park Service, the Forest Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs that are consistent with the metropolitan and statewide transportation planning processes. The FHWA and the appropriate Federal Land Management agencies are also given the authority to develop safety, bridge, pavement, and congestion management systems for roads funded under the Federal lands highways program (FLHP). The roads funded under the FLHP include park roads and parkways, forest highways, refuge roads and Indian reservation roads. 

The FHWA sought public comment on four related ANPRMs that were published on September 1, 1999.  The comment period closed on November 1, 1999.  Six organizations provided comments on the ANPRM pertaining to the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the refuge roads program.  The comments generally supported the development of a separate rule for each agency including one for the FWS.  In an NPRM, the FHWA will seek public comment on a proposed rule to implement section 1115(d) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) for the proposed safety, bridge, pavement and congestion management systems developed by FHWA's Federal Lands Highway program office in consultation with the FWS.  The NPRM is designated as significant under E.O. 12866 and the DOT regulatory policies and procedures because of the high level of interagency interest in the notices and involved program.  The transportation planning procedures will be addressed in a separate NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA proposes to revise its regulations to implement design-build contracting as mandated by Section 1307(c) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), enacted on June 9, 1998.  TEA-21 requires the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations to allow design-build contracting for selected projects.  The regulations would list the criteria and procedures that will be used by the FHWA in approving the use of design-build contracting by State Transportation Departments (STDs).  The regulation would not require the use of design-build contracting but rather would allow it as an optional technique in addition to traditional contracting methods.

The FHWA is soliciting comments on its proposed regulation which would establish prescribed policies and procedures for utilizing the design-build contracting technique for Federal-aid highway projects.  This action is significant because of the substantial State and industry interest in the design-build contracting technique.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA proposes to revise its regulation on the discretionary bridge program rating factor in order to incorporate several administrative considerations that have proven effective in the project selection process.  This proposed action would amend the current regulations according to a provision in TEA-21 which requires the Secretary of Transportation to publish both the statutory and regulatory criteria that will apply to the discretionary bridge program.

These proposed changes would require that the candidate projects be ready to begin construction in the fiscal year in which funds are available for obligation; allow leveraged funds from local, State, county, or private sources to be used to reduce the total project cost for use in the rating factor formula; disallow any discretionary allocation to a State that has transferred Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program funds to other categories of Federal funding in the previous year; and change the definition of one term in the rating factor formula.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dromedary Box Truck Tractor-Semitrailers; Specialized Equipment and Width Exclusion</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action responds to two unique requests with respect to the exclusion of certain devices from established truck length and width requirements.

The FHWA has received a petition from the Department of the Army to include as specialized equipment, dromedary box equipped truck tractor-semitrailers when used to haul Class I explosives for the Department of Defense and establishes a minimum overall length limit of 75 feet for these combinations.  Also proposed is an increase from 3 to 4 inches of the distance from the side of a commercial vehicle within which non-cargo carrying devices are excluded from vehicle width measurement.

In a separate matter, the Senate Committee on Appropriations has requested the FHWA consider a special allowance, within reasonable safety limitations, concerning the commercial movement of recreational vehicles (RVs) with incidental appurtenances, such as retractable awnings, that extend beyond current Federal width limitations.  A number of States have enacted laws that allow incidental appurtenances on noncommercial RVs to exceed State width limitations.

The FHWA intends to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking inviting public comment and addressing all aspects of these proposed special exclusions.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (STAA), Pub. L. 97-424, 96 Stat. 2097, gave the Secretary of Transportation the authority to determine what safety and energy conservation devices are necessary for safe and efficient operation of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), and what could be excluded when measuring vehicle length (section 411(h))(49 U.S.C. 31111(d)), and what could be excluded when measuring width (section 416(b))(49 U.S.C. 31113(b)).
Section 411(h) also provided that no device excluded from length measurement by the Secretary could have, by design or use, the capability to carry cargo.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA amends its regulations on railroad highway projects. The amendments now require railroads to submit final billings within one year following completion of work, delete the requirements of a State's certification that work was completed, increase the ceiling for lump sum agreements from $25,000 to $100,000 and incorporate changes brought about by ISTEA. The FHWA believes these changes will conform railroad/highway regulations to more recent laws or regulations, and provide State highway agencies clarification and more flexibility in implementing them.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, the FHWA amends its regulation for engineering services by removing a sentence that defined expenditures for the establishment, maintenance, general administration, supervision, and other overhead of the State highway department, or other instrumentality or entity referred to in the regulation, as ineligible for Federal participation.

This amendment to the regulation stems from a provision in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) that changed statutory requirements to allow for eligibility of administrative costs for State transportation departments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA, in response to comment, amends the 2000 Millennium Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) that became effective on January 17, 2001.  Section 4E.06 of the MUTCD relates to accessible pedestrian signals.  Upon publication of the Millennium Edition, the FHWA was advised that the support and guidance statements relative to evaluation of signalized intersections to accommodate persons with visual disabilities did not adequately address the needs of such persons.  Accordingly, the FHWA revises these support and guidance statements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action amends 23 CFR 470 in accordance with legislation enacted in 1991, 1995, and 1998. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) rescinded the Federal-aid Primary and Secondary and Urban Systems; established an interim National Highway System (NHS); and defined Federal-aid highways. The NHS Designation Act of 1995 (NHS Act) authorized the initial National Highway System and also authorized the Secretary to approve modifications. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) authorized the initial NHS connectors to major intermodal terminals and recodified 23 U.S.C. 103 (Federal-aid systems). The action also consolidates in appendices all nonregulatory guidance material issued previously by the FHWA on Federal-aid highway systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The FHWA issued an interim final rule with an opportunity for public comment. This rule amends regulations that the States comply with as part of the Federal-aid highway program. The FHWA has worked closely with the States, and the States have operated under the basic policies covered by this regulation for many years. A number of technical revisions are required as a result of the TEA-21 recodification of 23 U.S.C. 103, including incorporation of the provisions of former 23 U.S.C. 139 (Additions to Interstate System).</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1115 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century establishes a nationwide priority program for improving deficient Indian reservation road (IRR) bridges and reserves $13 million of IRR funds per year to replace and rehabilitate bridges that are in poor condition. The FHWA, Federal Lands Highway Office(FLH), and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Division of Transportation (BIADOT), intend to implement the IRR bridge program (IRRBP) to promptly address the deficient IRR bridges. Toward that end, the FLH and the BIADOT, in consultation with Indian tribal governments, have developed project selection/fund allocation procedures for uniform application of the legislation. The FHWA is announcing the project selection/fund allocation procedures for the IRRBP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) Applications for Use by Commercial Vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems Projects</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA proposes to amend its regulations to require the use of Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) Standards for ITS commercial vehicle projects using Federal funds. DSRC Systems use microwave communications over very short distances to allow moving vehicles to communicate with fixed roadside locations. In commercial motor vehicle applications, DSRC devices can transfer information regarding vehicle safety, performance, regulatory compliance and credentials from the vehicle to inspection stations.

The use of DSRC standards would promote interoperability among, and enable integration of ITS systems for North American commercial vehicle applications, such as electronic clearance, automated weight stations and border crossings. Interoperability would also encourage institutional integration and cooperation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), issued an NPRM proposing to update and revise the National Environmental Policy Act implementing regulation for FHWA and FTA funded or approved projects. The current regulations were issued in 1987 (23 CFR part 771, August 28, 1987) and experience since that time, as well as changes in legislation, most recently by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), call for an updated approach to implementation of NEPA for FHWA and FTA projects and actions.

The FTA and the FHWA received numerous comments to the docket in response to this NPRM. The agencies are currently reviewing these comments to determine what action should follow.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise and Construction Noise</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA is requesting comments on whether its regulations on noise insulation of private residences should be revised to allow Federal participation when a traffic noise impact occurs, i.e., when predicted traffic noise levels substantially exceed the existing noise levels.  Currently, Federal participation in the noise insulation of private residences is allowable only in situations where:  Severe traffic noise impacts exist or are expected, and normal noise abatement measures are physically infeasible or economically unreasonable. In these instances, the FHWA may approve a State's request for unusual or extraordinary abatement measures on a case-by-case basis.

When considering extraordinary abatement measures, the State must demonstrate that the affected activities experience traffic noise impacts to a far greater degree than other similar activities adjacent to highway facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal-Aid Project Agreement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, the FHWA combined its regulation on Federal-aid project authorization and its regulation on project agreements.  Section 1305 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) amended 23 U.S.C. 106(a) and combined authorization of work and execution of the project agreement for a Federal-aid project into a single action.  Changes to the agreement provisions reflect these adjustments.

Additionally, section 1304 of the TEA-21 amended 23 U.S.C 102(b) to include a provision to allow the granting of time extensions for engineering cost reimbursement.  Changes to the procedures provide this new flexibility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA is considering making the FMCSRs applicable to all interstate school transportation operations by local educational agencies.  This action is in response to sec. 4024 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) which mandates the FMCSA to make a determination whether to make the FMCSRs applicable to such operations.  The FMCSA requests comments, data, and information to assist the agency in making this determination.

This action is considered significant because of the anticipated substantial interest by the public sector and private sector if the FMCSA expands the applicability of the FMCSRs to government operated school buses in interstate commerce.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Qualification of Drivers; Vision</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of a review of the medical qualification standards applicable to interstate CMV drivers, the FMCSA requested comments on the need, if any, to amend its driver qualification requirements relating to the vision standard. A temporary waiver program was initiated and was concluded on March 31, 1996, to permit the FHWA to observe and collect data on the driving experience of a group of vision--deficient drivers who meet certain preconditions. Additionally, the FHWA, predecessor agency to the FMCSA,  considered further research to develop comprehensive performance-based visual standards for all commercial drivers. Information about the proposed research plan and public hearing on the subject was published in the Federal Register on June 5, 1996, at 61 FR 28547. The FMCSA awarded a contract with a medical center to develop medically-based recommendations for amending the current Federal vision requirements. Recommendations were delivered in October, 1998. These recommendations are being evaluated and considered in deciding what, if any, further proposals should be made concerning the vision standard. Based on the findings of the medical panel, the FMCSA anticipates publishing an NPRM to amend its regulation governing the visual field requirement in the vision standard.

New legislation (Section 4007 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), Public Law 105-178) enacted effective June 9, 1998, changes the agency's authority to issue waivers and exemptions. The procedures to implement the new authority were published in the Federal Register on December 8, 1998 (63 FR 67600). We are now considering all requests for exemptions from the vision requirements in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Training for Entry-Level Drivers of Commercial Motor Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is in response to section 4007 of the Motor Carrier Act of 1991 (title IV of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991). The Department has initiated a rulemaking on the need to require training of all entry-level drivers of commercial motor vehicles. The agency has submitted a report to Congress (02/05/96) on the effectiveness of private sector efforts to ensure adequate training of all entry-level drivers. This report included a cost-benefit study of requiring training of entry-level drivers. Public comments have been solicited on the report. This rulemaking action is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Driver Physical Fitness as Part of the CDL Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA is proposing to include the certification of fitness to operate a CMV in the commercial driver's license (CDL) process.  Incorporating the commercial driver fitness determination into State-administered CDL procedures could allow elimination of the requirement that CMV drivers carry a separate medical certificate.  The CDL would be evidence that the CMV driver is physically fit as well as operationally qualified to operate CMVs safely.  This action addresses the driver's physical qualifications as they relate to the CDL process; it does not address whether those standards are correct or should be changed.  This action is significant due to anticipated substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes amending FMCSA regulations to specify minimum safety information that new or prospective employers must seek from former employers during the investigation of a driver's employment record. This action also proposes to increase the time period that  carriers must record accident information in the accident register, from one to three years. The Hazardous Materials Reauthorization Act of 1994 initially mandated this revision.  The agency is now drafting a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking in response to Small Business Administration (SBA) comments to the docket and section 4014 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) (Pub. L. 105-178).  The SBA requested more in-depth Paperwork Reduction Act and Regulatory Flexibility Act analyses of the proposal.  The TEA-21 provided limited employer protection from liability, strengthened employee due process provisions, and established a new statutory deadline of 1/99.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The predecessor agency to the FMCSA proposed to amend the provision of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) concerning television viewers or screens in commercial motor vehicles. The agency was concerned that the current restrictions on the locations of such devices may have the unintended effect of discouraging the use of certain Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies such as collision avoidance and traveler information systems which could improve the safety and efficiency of commercial vehicle operations. In response to comments to the April 3, 1993 notice of proposed rulemaking (61 FR 14733) to rescind the regulation concerning television viewers or screens, the FMCSA is considering an SNPRM to propose retaining an explicit prohibition against television viewers or screens but revising the regulation to ensure that it does not impede the development and use of ITS-related technologies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA, the predecessor agency to the FMCSA,  published a final rule of RIN 2125-AC71 at 62 FR 60035 on November 6, 1997, which incorporated the safety fitness rating methodology (SFRM) into 49 CFR 385 as appendix B. In that document the FHWA identified its ultimate goal as creating a more performance-based means of determining the fitness of carriers to conduct commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations in interstate commerce. The ANPRM requested comments on the future of a rating system that could be used both in making safety fitness determinations and meeting the demands of shippers, insurers and other present and potential users interested in evaluating motor carrier performance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Zero-Base Revision</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA is revising the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and related regulations. In 1992, a "Zero-Base Review" was launched to improve the organization, format and clarity of the FMCSRs and collateral regulations. This proposal represents the most recent phase of a "zero-based" review of motor carrier safety regulations to establish more effective, enforceable requirements. This action is the product of that review. It proposes provisions that could affect public safety and potentially raises novel policy issues concerning federalism.

The FMCSA plans to release the new rulebook in an incremental fashion to allow an ordered approach to analyzing comments.  We will ensure that the final product is a unified, consistent and compatible rulebook.  The completed rulebook would constitute a major rewrite of the FMCSRs, including significant format and organizational changes, as well as a significant decrease in administration, recordkeeping, and paperwork burdens.  This action is significant under the regulatory policies and procedures of the DOT because of substantial public interest concerning motor carrier safety issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules of Practice for Administrative Proceedings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA proposes to adopt procedural rules in order to conduct administrative proceedings under sections 205, 206 and 219 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA).  These sections provide for the suspension and revocation of motor carrier registrations issued under 49 U.S.C. 13902, the issuance of cessation of operation orders, and disqualifications from operation orders issued against Mexican motor carriers.  On February 16, 2000, the FMCSA issued a final rule amending the Rules of Practice to include violations of commercial regulations.  However, this modification to the administrative rules applied only to civil penalty proceedings.  

The FMCSA believes that specific procedures should be established to provide guidance to the public and provide adequate notice and information to the respondents in other administrative proceedings.  The FMCSA proposes to establish a modified procedure which would resolve most proceedings based upon written submissions.  Grounds for requesting an oral hearing would be delineated and an appeal process would be established.  The FMCSA will also propose the creation of specific "Administrator Orders" designed to implement the new enforcement provisions of the MCSIA.  Effective on 04/16/2001, a final rule implements section 206 of MCSIA by amending the penalty provisions of the rules of practice of the FMCSRs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules of Practice for Motor Carrier Proceedings; Investigations; Disqualifications and Penalties</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA proposes to amend its rules of practice for motor carrier safety, hazardous materials, and other enforcement proceedings, motor carrier safety ratings, driver qualification proceedings and its schedule of penalties for violations of the FMCSRs and the Hazardous Materials Regulations. The FMCSA further proposes to add provisions on investigative authority and procedures and general motor carrier responsibilities. These rules would increase the efficiency of the procedures, enhance due process and the awareness of the public and regulated community, and accommodate recent programmatic changes. The rules would apply to all motor carriers, other business entities and individuals involved in motor carrier safety and hazardous materials administrative actions on the effective date of the final rule. The rules would constitute the major part of the administrative/procedural portion of the agency's zero-base revision of the entire FMCSRs. This action is being incorporated into 2126-AA39, "Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Zero-Base Revision".]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hours of Service of Drivers; Driver Rest and Sleep for Safe Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would revise the regulations for commercial motor vehicle driver rest requirements and duty period limitations for safe highway transportation. A broad rulemaking is required by the ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA). Other congressional actions prior to the ICCTA require modifications to the current rules. 

This rulemaking responds to public and congressional interest in regulating commercial motor vehicle driver rest requirements, the NTSB's safety recommendations, petitions for rulemaking, and scientific data. There is substantial public and congressional interest in the regulation of medium- and heavy-duty truck and bus drivers' sleep, off-duty, and working periods of time. The FMCSA has proposed new rules based upon comments and scientific data submitted to the advance notice of proposed rulemaking docket. The proposal includes an initial regulatory flexibility analysis, a cost-benefit analysis, an unfunded mandates analysis, and a paperwork reduction analysis. This action is considered significant because of substantial public and congressional interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The motor carrier industry requires 24-hour activities to meet the operational demands of a healthy U.S. economy. Growth in long-haul, regional, overnight, local, for-hire and private carriage operations is increasing with the unprecedented growth of the U.S. economy. Therefore, night work, shift work, and irregular work schedules continue to be commonplace. 

The scientific knowledge about sleep, sleep disorders, circadian physiology, fatigue, and performance decrements has also grown. One of the purposes of this rulemaking is to incorporate as much of the scientific knowledge as possible into the applicable regulations.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 31136 of title 49, United States Code, authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe minimum safety standards for commercial motor vehicles (Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1984, Pub. L. 98-554, Title II, October 30, 1984). Regulations prescribed under this section must ensure that: (1) commercial motor vehicles are operated safely; (2) the responsibilities imposed on operators of commercial motor vehicles do not impair their ability to operate the vehicle safely (3) the physical condition of operators of commercial motor vehicles is adequate to enable them to operate the vehicles safely; and (4) the operation of commercial motor vehicles does not have a deleterious effect on the physical condition of the operators.

Section 31502 of Title 49, United States Code, authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe maximum hours-of-service and qualifications requirements for operators of motor carriers when needed to promote the safety of operations (Motor Carrier Act of 1935, Pub. L. 74-255, August 9, 1935; and Migrant Farm Workers-Regulation of Interstate Transportation Act, Public Law 84-939, August 3, 1956). 

Section 113 of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Authorization Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-311, August 26, 1994) requires the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe regulations amending part 395 to improve the compliance by commercial motor vehicle drivers and motor carriers with HOS requirements and the effectiveness and efficiency of Federal and State enforcement officers reviewing such compliance.

Section 345 of the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-159, November 28, 1995) created four specific exemptions from the hours-of-service-of-drivers requirements of part 395. A fifth exemption applied only to commercial driver licensing-related requirements requiring testing of operators for alcohol and controlled substances. The Secretary of Transportation was authorized to conduct rulemaking, except for the water well drilling hours-of-service exemption, to negate or modify the exemptions upon a determination, after a rulemaking proceeding, that the exemption is not in the public interest and would have a significant adverse impact on the safety of commercial motor vehicles.

Section 408 of the ICC Termination Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-88, December 29, 1995) requires the Federal Highway Administration (functions transferred to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration under Pub. L. 106-159) to issue a final rule dealing with a variety of fatigue-related issues pertaining to commercial motor vehicle safety (including 8 hours of continuous sleep after 10 hours of driving, loading and unloading operations, automated and tamper-proof recording devices, rest and recovery cycles, fatigue and stress in longer combination vehicles, fitness for duty, and other appropriate regulatory and enforcement countermeasures for reducing fatigue-related incidents and increasing driver-alertness).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The FMCSA proposes replacing the current rules with an alternative set of rules based upon scientific knowledge and submitted comments. The FMCSA is considering different regulations for different types of drivers and operations.   

The FMCSA will also consider modifying the information collection burdens that have been placed upon the motor carrier industry, including the following types of recordkeeping methods: (1) Reducing the required items on the record of duty status (log book); (2) adding electronic on-board recording devices to commercial motor vehicles; (3) eliminating all FMCSA hours-of-service record keeping requirements while relying exclusively on the duplicative hours-of-work record keeping system required by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended.

The FMCSA is proposing a revision to the hours-of-service regulations to require motor carriers to provide their drivers with better opportunities to obtain sleep than the current rules, and thereby reduce the number of fatigue-related crashes involving these drivers.  We estimate that 755 fatalities and 19,705 injuries occur each year on the Nation's roads because of drowsy, tired or fatigued CMV drivers.

The proposed rules would make three major changes.  First, and most importantly, the new rules would be science-based (related to sleep cycles) and put all drivers in a 24-hour daily cycle. Second, they would reduce the total number of hours behind the wheel in a given 24-hour cycle to no more than 12 hours.  Under current rules, a driver can reach the 60-hour on-duty limit in 4 days and 4 hours, and the 70-hour limit in less than 5 days. Third, long-haul and regional drivers (who spend one or more nights away from their normal work reporting locations) would be required, eventually, to use electronic on-board recording devices (EOBRs).  These proposed changes would abandon a one-size-fits-all approach to work-rest cycles and adopt different rest periods for different types of operations.

The FMCSA has received more than 51,000 comments to date.  As we are committed to fully exploring all issues and concerns of stakeholders, we held eight public hearings in may, June and July 2000, and followed up three public roundtable discussions in September and October 2000 on issues that attracted significant comment in the hearings.

The roundtables drew broad public participation and elicited in-depth discussion and exchange of supporting data on critical issues, including issues surrounding the economic analyses and assumptions used by the agency.  The discussions provided the agency with information requiring careful analysis.  This will help the FMCSA identify any necessary changes to the proposal that would address stakeholders' divergent concerns and support the development of a successful rule.  

The FY 2001 Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, Pub. L. 106-346, includes language that prohibits the Department from adopting a final rule before October 1, 2001.  This is consistent with the Department's pledge to carefully review and consider the extensive record that has been established on the rulemaking before deciding on the next appropriate step in the rulemaking process.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The FMCSA has placed a Preliminary Regulatory Evaluation (PRE) in the docket.  The PRE evaluates five options, based on identified key parameters.  The selected option, which divides the industry into different types of motor carrier operations, is projected to save 115 lives and 2,995 injuries per year with a total net benefit of almost $3.359 billion, assuming that 15 percent of CMV-involved crashes are fatigue-related.  Readers are directed to the PRE and the preamble of the NPRM for additional information.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Fatigue is increasingly becoming the focus of possible causes following many crashes. Driver reports of being fatigued to the point of incapacity are not uncommon, and intuitively, it is reasonable, given the sheer volume of traffic, to expect fatigue to be a factor in future crashes if the regulations are not corrected. Fatigue was identified by the industry, public, and government as the highest priority safety issue at a 1995 Truck and Bus Safety Summit in Kansas City, MO.

The FMCSA has established a goal to reduce by 50 percent over ten years the number of fatalities from crashes involving any commercial motor vehicle. The FMCSA anticipates its proposal will reduce fatigue-related crashes by at least 15 percent each year to assist in its efforts to meet its overall goal of 50 percent reduction in deaths.]]></RISKS>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Transferred from RIN 2125-AD93.

During the agency&apos;s broad section 610 review of the 65-year history of the rule and all its amendments and revisions, the agency identified that RINs 2125-AD52, 2125-AD81, 2126-AA16, and 2126-AA29 also contain pertinent actions that must be incorporated into this action.  Therefore, the agency incorporated them and has published a combined proposal addressing the entire topic of hours-of-service of drivers and related recordkeeping issues.

The DOT Docket Management System now identifies this rulemaking as number FMCSA-1997-2350.

More Information on ALTERNATIVES:

The FMCSA is proposing a revision to the hours-of-service regulations to require motor carriers to provide their drivers with better opportunities to obtain sleep than the current rules, and thereby reduce the number of fatigue-related crashes involving these drivers.  We estimate that 755 fatalities and 19,705 injuries occur each year on the Nation&apos;s roads because of drowsy, tired or fatigued CMV drivers.

The proposed rules would make three major changes.  First, and most importantly, the new rules would be science-based (related to sleep cycles) and put all drivers in a 24-hour daily cycle. Second, they would reduce the total number of hours behind the wheel in a given 24-hour cycle to no more than 12 hours.  Under current rules, a driver can reach the 60-hour on-duty limit in 4 days and 4 hours, and the 70-hour limit in less than 5 days. Third, long-haul and regional drivers (who spend one or more nights away from their normal work reporting locations) would be required, eventually, to use electronic on-board recording devices (EOBRs).  These proposed changes would abandon a one-size-fits-all approach to work-rest cycles and adopt different rest periods for different types of operations.

The NPRM is a proposal. The FMCSA has extensively solicited public comments at 8 public hearings and 3 public roundtable discussions.  The agency has received more than 51,000 comments in docket no. FMCSA-97-2350.  The agency is reviewing these comments to ensure that it can make appropriate decisions about the next steps in the rulemaking process.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA is proposing amendments to its regulations concerning cargo securement requirements for commercial motor vehicles engaged in interstate commerce. The FMCSA intends to consider adopting new cargo securement guidelines that will be based upon the results of a multi-year comprehensive research program to evaluate current regulations and industry practices. The FMCSA has requested comments on the process to be used in developing these preliminary cargo securement guidelines. The FMCSA completed work on this research program with the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA), State and Provincial agencies responsible for motor carrier safety activities, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), and U.S. and Canadian industry groups.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would implement an accelerated safety fitness screen as part of the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). A new screening program is being targeted to collect more information on Mexican carriers. The data will be collected and stored using the existing systems and information gathering structures that are used for domestic carriers. The data collected will be used to oversee operations of both classes of Mexican motor carriers, those operating in the U.S.-Mexico border commercial zones and those operating in the U.S. pursuant to the various entry provisions of NAFTA. This action is significant due to anticipated public interest and safety-related issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Out-of-Service Criteria</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action seeks public comment on the "North American Uniform Out-of-Service Criteria" (OOS Criteria). During roadside inspections, Federal, State, and local safety inspectors use the OOS Criteria as a guide in determining whether to place commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), or their drivers, "out of service." Such a status means that the CMVs or drivers are so unsafe that corrections must be undertaken before operations can resume. The FHWA is seeking public comment on the future scope and effect of the OOS Criteria, which are not part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). In addition, the FMCSA is seeking information regarding whether it needs to formalize these guidelines pursuant to a notice and comment rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA is adopting regulations to implement section 4007 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), concerning waivers and exemptions from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), and the Administration of pilot programs to evaluate innovative alternatives to the regulations. The regulations establish the procedures persons must follow to request waivers and to apply for exemptions from the FMCSRs, and the procedures the FMCSA will use to process the requests for waivers and applications for exemptions. The regulations also codify statutory requirements concerning the agency's administration of pilot programs. This rulemaking is intended to provide procedures to ensure the timely processing of requests for waivers and applications for exemptions, and public disclosure of the procedures the agency would use in initiating and managing pilot programs. The FHWA, the predecessor agency to the FMCSA has issued an interim final rule, with an opportunity for public comment after publication in order to meet the statutory deadline for issuance of a final rule (180 days after date of enactment of TEA-21).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA is proposing to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMSCRs) to establish pass/fail criteria for use with performance based brake testers (PBBTs), which measure the braking performance of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). The specific types of PBBTs addressed in this action are the roller dynamometer, breakaway torque tester, and flat-plate tester. This proposal would allow State and local enforcement officials to issue citations based on PBBT braking force measurements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Safety Requirements for Operators of Small Passenger-Carrying Commercial Motor Vehicles Used in Interstate Commerce</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA is proposing to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to require that motor carriers operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), designed or used to transport between 9 and 15 passengers (including the driver) in interstate commerce, comply with the FMCSRs when they are directly compensated for such service, and the transportation of any passenger covers a distance greater than 75 air miles (86.3 statute miles or 138.9 kilometers).  Motor carriers, drivers, and the vehicles operated by them would be subject to the same safety requirements imposed upon motorcoach operations, with the exception of the commercial driver's license, controlled substances and alcohol testing regulations.  The agency is proposing that any requirements implemented be made applicable to these motor carriers 90 days after the effective date of the final rule.  This action is is response to section 212 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA).]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 217 of MCSIA requires the FMCSA to require periodic updating, not more frequently than once every 2 years, of the motor carrier identification report filed by each motor carrier conducting operations in interstate or foreign commerce.  Motor carriers are presently required to file this report prior to commencing operations.  As a result of this action, the FMCSA will also require motor carriers to file an update of the report every 24 months.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA is amending part 393 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation.  The amendments are intended to remove obsolete and redundant regulations; respond to several petitions for rulemaking; provide improved definitions of vehicle types, systems, and components; resolve inconsistencies between part 393 and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (49 CFR 571); and codify certain FMCSA regulatory guidance concerning the requirements of part 393.  Generally, the amendments do not involve the establishment of new or more stringent requirements but a clarification of existing requirements.  This action is consistent with the President's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative and furthers the FMCSA's ongoing Zero-Base Regulatory Review in that it proposes to make many sections more concise, easier to understand and more performance oriented.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Driver&apos;s License Standards; Biometric Identifier</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Truck and Bus Regulatory Reform Act of 1988 (1) required the DOT Secretary to issue regulations establishing minimum uniform standards for a biometric identification system for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators; and (2) authorized the Secretary to use specific funds to implement a pilot demonstration project using such a system.  Alternatives including retinal eye scans and advanced fingerprint technologies were considered.  After analyzing public comments to the ANPRM and reviewing demonstration project results, the FHWA, predecessor agency to the FMCSA, determined that current technology had not progressed to the point where an identification system could be established nationwide in a cost-effective manner and still provide the benefits for which a system was intended. The FHWA subsequently published an informational notice summarizing the results of the pilot study and the comments to the ANPRM to demonstrate how the technologies studied fell short of the demands in a commercial licensing environment.  

Section 4011(c) of the TEA-21, 49 USC 31308 amended, requires that  each commercial driver's license (CDL) issued by the States after January 1, 2001, must include unique identifiers (which may include biometric identifiers); however, as a minimum, unique identifiers in CDLs must contain the name, address, and physical description of the individual issued the CDL; the social security number or other number or information to identify the individual; the class or type of CMV the individual is authorized to operate; the name of the State that issued the license, and the dates the license is valid.

In the future, we will establish a pilot study to collect over 30,000 sample digital facial images and sets of fingerprints from volunteers.  California is the lead State for this study. The estimated date of completion is February 2002. Therefore, no further action will be taken until completion of the pilot study.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Learner Permits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA, the predecessor agency to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), reviewed learner permit practices of the states for processing a driver from the initial non-CDL driver to being a fully licensed CDL driver. A number of variations in state learner permit practices were found. The FHWA planned to establish more uniform practices, such as: 1) screening drivers before permitting them to initially drive a CMV without having obtained a full CDL; 2) the length of time a state allows the driver to hold a learner's permit; 3) procedures for drivers to obtain CDL training in a state other than their normal residency; 4) supervision requirements for learner permit drivers; 5) commercial driver license information systems (CDLIS) recordkeeping requirements.  However, the next action in this project is now undetermined as the FMCSA evaluates it in connection with several requirements of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will implement the statutory requirements of 49 USC 5109 and 49 USC 5105. Section 5109 addresses the establishment of motor carrier safety permit regulations for motor carriers transporting Class A or B explosives, liquefied natural gases, hazardous materials designated as extremely toxic by inhalation, or highway route controlled quantity radioactive materials. Section 5105 requires inspection of vehicles transporting those radioactive materials before each trip. The proposed rule will incorporate those provisions into the safety permit regulations. This action is considered significant because of substantial public and congressional interest and safety implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes requiring all filings of surety bonds, trust fund agreements, insurance certificates and cancellations of these instruments to be accomplished electronically. Optional electronic filing has proven economical and efficient for both the FMCSA and for electronic filers. Given this success, cost of processing paper filings can no longer be justified. Mandatory electronic filings should not impose any significant costs or burdens on either the FMCSA or the filers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>English Language Requirement; Qualifications of Drivers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current regulation is little changed from the original rule adopted in 1936. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has written to the Department asserting that the regulation, as written, is overly broad and subject to arbitrary enforcement, causing potential interference with constitutional guarantees of due process and equal protection. The ACLU requested an opportunity to submit a comprehensive analysis of this issue. The ANPRM was intended to provide the ACLU with such an opportunity and to open this issue for public comment. The FMCSA seeks to modify its current regulation to require drivers to possess the basic functional communication/comprehension ability necessary to ensure safety, consistent with applicable law. This action is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation of Household Goods; Consumer Protection Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA proposed to amend the regulations governing the transportation of household goods. These regulations protect individual consumers who ship household goods, as defined in 49 USC 13102(10), by commercial motor vehicle. This action is necessary to implement the ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA),and to update the regulations. The intended effect of this proposal is to make the regulations easier to read and understand, remove an outdated report, address hostage freight problems (situations where non-binding estimates are lower than actual charges and the carrier refuses to deliver freight even after 110 percent of the estimate is paid at the time of delivery), modify a consumer protection publication, consider industry requests to change the rules, and propose conforming and technical amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition for rulemaking filed by the American Trucking Association, Inc. (ATA) and the ATA Intermodal Conference (the petitioners), the FHWA, the predecessor agency to the FMCSA,  agreed to consider revisions to the requirements in parts 390 and 396 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations (FMCSRs) that place upon motor carriers the responsibility for maintaining intermodal container chassis and trailers. These regulations provide the requirements for the inspection, repair and maintenance of commercial motor vehicles. This action is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Post-Accident Controlled Substances and Alcohol Test Results; Reporting Requirements for the Fatality Analysis Reporting System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)is considering amending its controlled substances and alcohol testing regulations to require employers subject to those requirements to report certain information to State-employed Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) analysts concerning fatal crashes/accidents. Currently, only the FMCSA and State officials with regulatory authority over the employer or any of its drivers may obtain information concerning controlled substances and alcohol testing results and records.

This rulemaking would propose to require employers to provide information to FARS analysts, irrespective of their State authority, working under contract with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The information employers would be required to submit to the analysts would enable the NHTSA, working in conjunction with the FMCSA, to compile and analyze data on the incidence of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers who test positive for controlled substances and/or alcohol use in post-accident tests conducted after fatal crashes.

The data would also be used by the FMCSA to help assess the effectiveness of its controlled substances and alcohol testing regulations. This action is intended to improve the FMCSA's and NHTSA's CMV crash data and assess the need for new initiatives to further reduce the use of controlled substances and alcohol by CMV drivers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is a conforming amendment resulting from changes to the Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs regulations under 49 CFR part 40.  The Department of Transportation (DOT) expects to finalize revisions to its drug and alcohol testing procedures regulation to make the organization and language of the regulation clearer, to incorporate guidance and interpretations of the rule into its text, and to update the rule to include new provisions responding to changes in technology, the testing industry, and the Department's program.  Each DOT modal administration must amend its implementing regulations to reflect these changes.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action makes technical amendments throughout 49 CFR chapter III to those rules containing incorrect references to agency and office organizations.  Additionally, outdated citations to statutory and regulatory authority are amended. Typographical errors are corrected and extraneous wording is eliminated.  These technical amendments are necessary because of the formation of the FMCSA and they will reflect current organizational structure, processes and requirements.  The amendments will not make any substantive changes in the wording or organization of the rules affected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>In a survey of 646 recent or imminent new-vehicle buyers, over 75 percent were unaware of the existence of automobile parts content labels.  Among those who had read the labels, many said they used the country-of-assembly information, but none said they used the numerical U.S./Canadian parts content score.  Overall U.S./Canadian parts content in new cars and light trucks dropped from an average of 70 percent in model year 1995 to 67.6 percent in 1988.  However, it increased from 47 to 59 percent in transplants while dropping from 89 to 84 percent in Big 3 vehicles.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Retroreflective tape enhances the visibility of heavy trailers in the dark.  The tape reduces side and rear impacts by other vehicles into trailers by 29 percent in dark conditions (including dark-not-lighted, dark-lighted, dawn and dusk).  In dark-not-lighted conditions, the tape reduces side and rear impacts by 41 percent.  When all heavy trailers have the tape, it will prevent an estimated 191-350 fatalities, 3,100-5,000 injuries and 7,800 crashed per year.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This standard allows passenger vehicles to be equipped with an on-off switch for the right front passenger air bag if the rear seat cannot accommodate a rear-facing infant seat. The standard also enables vehicle owners to obtain an on-off switch for their passenger and/or driver air bag if they transport people who should not be exposed to an air bag deployment. The agency will determine, by observation of vehicles in use, the percentage of on-off switches that are being correctly used. This regulation was selected for review because of its public interest and potential benefit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adaptation of Instrumented Lower Legs for Hybrid III Male and Female Adult Dummies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is proposing the use of crash test dummies with instrumented lower legs to assess the crashworthiness and the potential of lower limb injuries to occupants of passenger cars, vans, light trucks, and sport utility vehicles. The new legs would be retrofits for un-instrumented legs in current Hybrid III male and female adult size dummies.  The legs will be used to monitor both the inertial impact and floor pan intrusion effects upon injury potential to the knees, tibia, ankle and feet.  The new legs will permit the agency to assess the injury potential to the lower legs in current motor vehicles during crashes and also enable the vehicle manufacturers to design and construct vehicles that will minimize lower limb injuries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification Requirements of Multistage Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency proposed to amend the certification requirements that apply to incomplete vehicles other than chassis-cabs. Incomplete vehicles are vehicles that include at least a frame and chassis structure, power train, steering system, suspension system, and brake system, but need further manufacturing performed on them to become completed vehicles. The agency proposed to extend the certification requirements currently applying to chassis-cabs to all types of incomplete vehicles. The agency recognizes that manufacturers who build vehicles in more than one stage are faced with somewhat different problems than manufacturers who build vehicles in a single stage, especially when it comes to certifying vehicles to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The agency held a public meeting to listen to the views of these groups and others with respect to improving the vehicle certification process. The agency has established a negotiated rulemaking advisory committee to develop recommended amendments to the existing regulations.  The agency is publishing the findings and recommendations of the negotiated rulemaking advisory committee and requesting comments from the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Community Transportation Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition for rulemaking, the agency is proposing to amend various sections of part 571 to create a new vehicle type, tentatively called community transportation vehicles, that will have to meet the crashworthiness standards applicable to school buses, but will not have to meet some of the crash avoidance standards (i.e., stop arms, flashing lights, etc.). This would allow manufacturers to certify vehicles that will be less expensive and as safe as a school bus for transportation of Head Start students because we have tentatively decided that the school bus crash avoidance features are unnecessary when there is no curb-side pickup.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Upgrade Door Retention Performance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Based upon annual average estimates from the 1988 through 1996 Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS), there is an annual average of 2,515 fatalities and 1,882 serious injuries due to door ejections. Side door ejections are the second leading cause of ejections in all crashes, superseded only by ejections through fixed glazing. One of the activities of agency rollover research focuses on reducing injuries and fatalities resulting from side door ejections. This research has led the agency to identify potential significant solutions to mitigating a substantial number of these fatalities and injuries by improving side door retention performance. Therefore, the agency is proposing to upgrade the door retention requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Rewrite of the Lighting Requirements Other Than Headlamps</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is proposing to rewrite the reflective devices and associated equipment requirements to make the standard more readable and understandable. The standard has grown over the last 30 years by the incorporation of dozens of amendments. The document has become unwieldy to use and the agency decided to rewrite it to seperate it into sections that address each lighting function separately. These sections will state the basic performance necessary for each lighting function and for lamp installation on various vehicle types. The rewrite will continue to reference Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and other standards and recommended practices for test procedures if too lengthy to incorporate changes. Moreover, it will codify various agency interpretations of its rules to make the standard more explicit and objective. The administrative rewrite of the headlamp regulations can be found under RIN 2127-AG87.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Present regulation requires a petitioner to submit data "supporting its petition" which advocates excusing it from its notification and remedial obligations. Because the petitioner may have pertinent data relevant to the agency's decision that would not support granting it, the agency is proposing a clarification that all data pertaining to the subject in the possession of the petitioner be part of the petition. The agency also is proposing the petitioner provide a full and accurate analysis of its petition and certify that it is accurate and complete. NHTSA is withdrawing this rulemaking action on 8/2/01, to allow it to focus its limited resources on the defects and noncompliance related rulemaking actions required by the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act of 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency reviewed this standard and published a "Request for Comment" to obtain information on electronic accelerator controls. After reviewing the comments received on this notice, the agency plans to propose a revision of the standard that will make explicit the application of the standard to electronic accelerator controls and the electric vehicles. The proposal will recognize that electronic engine controls vastly increase the ways manufacturers can achieve fail-safe performance in the event of a disconnection or severance of the accelerator control system and will propose a number of alternative compliance tests for fail-safe performance to avoid design restrictions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Frontal Offset Protection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is considering establishing a Federal motor vehicle safety standard for high speed frontal offset crash testing. The frontal offset test is a crash test for automobiles and light trucks in which the subject vehicles are run into a deformable honeycomb barrier. The barrier contacts only 40 percent of the front of the vehicle simulating an off-center frontal collision. The agency is considering adding the offset test to the frontal occupant protection standard to measure vehicle structural integrity and reduce the number and severity of lower-body injuries.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[While the Federal motor vehicle safety standards already contain a frontal crash test, injuries and fatalities still occur in various types of frontal crashes.  The European Union determined that the best test for frontal occupant protection would be an offset test with belted test dummies.  As part of the House of Representatives Conference Report 104-785, to accompany H.R. 3675, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was directed on September 16, 1996, to conduct research "...toward establishing a Federal motor vehicle safety standard for frontal offset crash testing."  Such a standard would harmonize with the European Union frontal crash standard.  Subsequent research results with the 50th percentile male and the 5th percentile female Hybrid III dummies suggest that additional safety benefits would be provided for the neck and the upper and lower tibia under the offset test conditions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 30111,Title 49 of the United States Code, states the Secretary shall prescribe motor vehicle safety standards.  As part of the House of Representatives Conference Report 104-785, to accompany H.R. 3675, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was directed on September 16, 1996, to conduct research "...toward establishing a Federal motor vehicle safety standard for frontal offset crash testing."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Since this program is oriented primarily toward adopting an existing European standard, the agency will focus on existing test procedures.  However, the agency is working through the national and international biomechanical engineering community to develop better test devices such as improved dummy legs.  Comments will be sought on the best dummy designs in the agency's proposal.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[A report prepared for the Australian Government estimates that adding an offset test may result in a 15 percent reduction in "Harm."  Harm is a calculation of the cost of trauma and is the product of the frequency of injury and cost to the community.  Most of these benefits would be seen in reduction in lower body and leg injuries.  The agency has not determined the specific benefits of this test procedure.

The agency estimates that for vehicles that cannot currently pass this test, vehicle modifications would cost $14 per vehicle.  Based on an estimate that 25 percent of the fleet would need to be modified, the total annual cost to the consumers would be $60 million dollars.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Current motor vehicles provide numerous occupant protection systems, such as safety belts and strategically-placed energy absorption materials such as foam padding.  However, an estimated 3,300 people per year are killed and 400,000 people per year are injured in frontal offset crashes.

The agency knows of no disadvantages to implementing this requirement.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Headlamp Glare</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current standard sets minimum and maximum intensities for headlamps to ensure that the two most important aspects of head lighting performance are balanced. These often conflicting aspects are (1) to assure the driver of the vehicles sees as much of the roadway possible, while (2) minimizing glare for other drivers using the road. The balance the agency has chosen of these two areas has changed very little since 1970. The agency has been receiving a significant number of public complaints about glare from other vehicles' headlamps. In light of significant technological changes, including improved halogen lamps and high intensity discharge lamps, fleet mix changes (nearly half of all new vehicles sold in 1998 were light trucks, with higher-mounted headlamps), and an increase in the age of the population, the agency wants to reexamine the balance it has chosen between seeing distance and glare to see if it is still appropriate. The agency will ask the public for comments and information to begin exploring this area more fully.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Improve Motorcycle Helmet Head Protection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1998, 2,284 motorcyclists were killed and 49,000 injured in traffic crashes on U.S. highways.  The agency believes that helmet usage by motorcyclists is the most effective method to reduce deaths and injuries in motorcycle crashes.  In order to improve the head protection for motorcyclists, the agency is proposing to upgrade the performance standards and test procedures to incorporate the technological advancements available in the current market and to review the standard for harmonization with other major helmet standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The recently enacted Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act requires the Secretary of Transportation to initiate rulemaking to improve the labeling of tires to assist consumers in identifying tires that may be the subject of a safety recall.  Pursuant to that Act, this ANPRM states that the agency is considering amendments to its regulations to improve the tire information and its availability and understandability to consumers.  To aid in this effect, the agency is seeking responses from the public to questions relating to such matters as Tire Identification Number content, readability and location, loading, plies and cords, tread wear indicator, Uniform Tire Quality Grading System, speed rating, run-flat and extended mobility tires, tire inflation pressure, and dissemination of tire safety information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Improving the Safety of Child Restraints</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The recently enacted Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act requires the Secretary of Transportation to initiate rulemaking that will improve the safety of child restraints, including minimizing head injuries from side impact collisions.  The agency will consider whether to (1) require more comprehensive tests of child restraints using an array of crash conditions and an updated test seat assembly; (2) use test dummies that represent a greater range of sizes of children and that incorporate current technologies; (3) require improved protection from head injuries in side- and rear-impact crashes; (4) provide consumer information on the physical compatibility of child restraints and vehicle seats on a model-by-model basis; (5) prescribe clearer and simpler labels and instructions on child restraints; (6) consider restraints for children weighing up to 80 pounds; (7) apply scaled injury criteria performance levels, including neck injury; and (8) include a child restraint in each vehicle crash tested under the New Car Assessment Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Voluntarily Installed Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a final rule published June 12, 1998 (63 FR 32143, RIN 2127-AF91), the amendment required anchorages for voluntarily installed shoulder belts must comply with the current standard.  This change applied mainly to seat locations where the minimum requirements were lap belts, such as the center rear seat in passenger cars.  This change did not apply to seats where no seat belt was required.  The agency is proposing to extend the anchorage requirement to seats where the entire seat belt assembly is voluntarily installed.  This change will mainly affect passenger seats on large buses and large school buses where the customer decides to order the bus with seat belts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Operation of Motor Vehicles by Intoxicated Persons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) established a grant program under which states could qualify for incentive funds if they enacted and enforced a law that provides that any person with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or greater while operating a motor vehicle in the state is deemed to have committed a per se offense of driving while intoxicated or an equivalent per se offense.  The agency published a final rule implementing that incentive grant program.  Section 351 of the Department of Transportation (DOT) Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 2001 (PL 106-346) contains a new provision requiring the withholding of certain Federal-aid highway funds from a state, beginning in fiscal year 2004, if the state has not enacted and is not enforcing such a law.  The agency is proposing to amend the regulation implementing the incentive grant program established in TEA-21 to reflect the new sanctions provisions established in the DOT appropriations set for FY 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expanding the Auto Parts Marking Requirement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the Anti Car Theft Act of 1992, the Attorney General was required to report on the effectiveness of expanding the parts marking requirements of the theft prevention standard to the remaining motor vehicle lines.  On the basis of the available evidence presented, the Attorney General found that the evidence did not support a finding that requiring parts marking would not substantially inhibit chop shop operations and auto theft and therefore, recommended expanding the parts marking requirements to the remaining motor vehicle lines.  Based on the results of the report, the agency is required to prepare rulemaking to extend the theft prevention standard to the remaining motor vehicle lines.]]></ABSTRACT>

Such labeling will help the consumer make informed decisions during the purchasing process, act as a reference during cargo loading and encourage the recreational vehicle industry to allow for greater cargo carrying capacities which in turn will reduce instances of overloading.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The recently-enacted Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act requires the Secretary of Transportation to initiate rulemaking to improve the safety requirements of tires.  The agency is proposing a new tire standard applicable to radial and non-radial tires that are mounted on passenger cars, light truck vehicles, and multipurpose vehicles, but not tires for motorcycles and heavy trucks.  The proposed requirements include tests for high speed performance, endurance, low pressure validation, low pressure high speed performance, road hazard impact, resistance to bead unseating and aging.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Platform Lift Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This supplemental notice proposes to establish two new safety standards:  an equipment standard specifying requirements for platform lifts; and a vehicle standard for all vehicles equipped with such lifts.  This supplemental notice significantly differs from our original proposal in several respects.  Most notably, the scope of our proposal has been expanded to platform lifts installed on all motor vehicles.  Other significant changes are additional interlock requirements, improved wheelchair retention and platform slip resistance tests, and, in some instances, lesser compliance standards for lifts installed on vehicles typically used solely for private transport. This action is considered significant due to substantial public interest in transportation of individuals with disabilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Radiator Safety Cap</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition for rulemaking, the agency is proposing a new Federal motor vehicle safety standard regulating new radiator caps and coolant reservoir caps, and new passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles and light trucks with such caps.  The agency believes that this new standard, if implemented, would result in fewer scald injuries that occur when people attempt to remove caps from motor vehicle radiators or coolant reservoirs that are under high pressure and contain hot fluids.  However, this rulemaking would not require that radiator caps or coolant reservoir caps be provided on any motor vehicle.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Upgrade Fuel Integrity Performance Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An advance notice of proposed rulemaking in 1995 announced the agency's plan to consider upgrading the standard by making the current crash requirements more stringent and by broadening the standard's focus to include mitigation concepts related to fuel system components and environmental and aging tests related to components. The notice also requested comments on the agency's plan to explore a three-phase approach to upgrading the standard, data, methods, and strategies which may assist in the agency's regulatory decisions in defining specific requirements and test procedures for upgrading the standard. Based on the responses to the notice and available data, the agency is proposing to replace the current rear impact test procedures with a more stringent test procedure. The agency is also proposing to replace the standard's current side impact test requirements with the side impact test requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 214, Side Impact Protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Geometric Visibility Requirements for Lamps</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition for rulemaking, the agency is proposing to harmonize the lighting standard's geometric visibility requirements for signal lamps and rear side marker color with those of the ECE. Harmonization of the standard worldwide, without reducing safety, would allow manufacturers to reduce costs by producing to a single world vehicle standard rather than several, thus reducing costs and improving the flow of trade. The agency is issuing additional/alternative proposals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>On February 27, 1997 (62 FR 8883), the agency terminated rulemaking in which the agency had asked for comments on whether the performance and installation of front and rear fog lamps should be regulated. In response to these comments, the SAE has established a Fog Lamp Task Force to develop an internationally-acceptable fog lamp standard, on which a Federal standard could be based.

        <RULE_TITLE>Glare Reduction From Daytime Running Lamps</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is proposing to amend the lighting standard to reduce glare from daytime running lamps (DRLs). It would do this in three stages. One year after publication of the final rule, DRLs utilizing the upper headlamp beam would not be permitted to exceed 3,000 candela (cd) at any point, thus becoming subject to the maximum candela permitted for DRLs other than headlamps. This same limit would be applied to the upper half of lower beam DRLs two years after publication of the final rule. Finally, four years after publication of the final rule, all DRLs, except lower beam DRLs, would be subject to a flat 1,500 cd limit. Lower beam DRLs would be limited to 1,500 cd at horizontal or above. This action is intended to provide the public with all the conspicuity benefits of DRLs while reducing glare and is based on research that has become available since the final rule establishing DRLs was published in 1993.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Rewrite for Headlamp Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency has proposed to rewrite the sections relating to headlighting. The rewrite is important because of the standard's age and numerous amendments which have made it difficult to read and interpret. The revised standard should reduce burden especially to small manufacturers because of improved clarity. The reorganization of the sections relating to other lamps will be addressed in a separate rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposal also, until the upgraded requirements become effective, allows manufacturers to certify their vehicles either to the existing U.S. requirements or to the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) Regulation No. 25. The upgrade proposed performance requirements intended to assure that the head restraint, if adjusted, will remain locked in specific height positions and calls for the installation of head restraints in rear seats. This action is concerned significant due to the expected high cost to the private sector for the modifications to the standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

These areas are to provide consistency between table I., Stopping Sequence, item 4(b) and S5.7.3(b); provide wording for single-unit vehicles to prevent single-unit axle overloading; clarify emergency brake requirements for trucks and buses; address the misconceptions about the wheel lock provisions as they apply to vehicles with tandem axles; and correct two minor typographical errors. The other five recommendations will be denied.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to petitions for reconsideration of a final rule published on April 27, 1999 (64 FR 22567, RIN 2127-AF40) that made testing more suitable for vehicles with raised or sloped roof structures, the petitioners requested that the agency modify the portion of the rule that pertains to raised roof vehicles, particularly those vehicles used for transporting disabled persons. The petitioners claim that the test plate position requirement for these vehicles causes the plate's rear edge to contact the raised roof structure in a manner which causes abnormal penetration and failure.]]></ABSTRACT>

Changing the definition could exclude those joints in the van cutaway chassis and enhance the possibility of allowing van cutaways to be manufactured into school buses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The recently-enacted Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act requires the Secretary of Transportation to initiate rulemaking to require a warning system in new motor vehicles to indicate to the operator when a tire is significantly underinflated.  The agency is proposing to establish a new standard for Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on every new vehicle that uses a passenger car tire. A TPMS would detect low pressure in a tire and alert the driver through a "low tire" warning signal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Crashworthiness Ratings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would require manufacturers to disseminate crashworthiness performance information concerning their cars to the public, to provide consumers with comparative information on the crashworthiness performance of new car models. This rulemaking is considered significant because of the impact on manufacturers, the interest shown by consumers, and the potential significant effects on the automotive marketplace. The agency requested public comments on the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) study titled "Shopping for Safety - Providing Consumer Automotive Safety Information," (TRB Special Report 248) and how that study should be reflected in the agency's decision on whether, and if so, how, to proceed with a crashworthiness rating for automobiles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review: Side Impact Protection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This standard requires passenger cars manufactured after September 1, 1996, to provide occupant protection when impacted in the side by a moving deformable barrier. The agency has compared the actual risk of occupant injury in side impact crashes of cars meeting the standard to the risk in pre-standard cars. The cost of the standard has been estimated. The Technical Report has been published. This regulation was selected for review because of its costs, potential benefits, and public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Door Latch Exemption for Vehicles Equipped With Wheelchair Lifts and Ramps</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition for rulemaking, the agency is proposing to modify the "Door Locks and Door Retention Components" requirements by exempting vehicles with wheelchair ramps and to establish uniform requirements for vehicles with wheelchair lifts and ramps. These modifications are necessary because of changes in the types of vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts/ramps and changes in lift/ramp structural designs which have come to pass in recent years. Petition was granted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review: Redesigned Air Bags</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This standard was temporarily amended to make the unbelted test for vehicles with air bags less stringent and, in effect, make it easier for manufacturers to quickly depower their air bags. Redesigned air bags are likely to benefit out-of-position occupants and reduce drivers' arm injuries, but they might be less effective than earlier air bags for some occupants. This regulation was selected for review because of public interest, potential benefits, and possibility of higher risk for some vehicle occupants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defect Reporting and Notification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is proposing to amend its current regulations on Defect and Noncompliance Reports and Defect and Noncompliance Notification. The amendments are intended to implement the investigative and recall provisions by increasing the availability of information regarding safety related defects and noncompliance and by improving notification to consumers of recalls of defective and noncomplying motor vehicle equipment.  NHTSA is withdrawing this rulemaking action on 8/2/01, to allow it to focus its limited resources on the defects and noncompliance related rulemaking actions required by the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act of 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>State-Issued Identification Documents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to implement the requirements contained in section 656(b) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. This section of the Act, entitled State-Issued Driver's Licenses and Comparable Identification Documents, provides that a Federal agency may only accept as proof of identity a driver's license or identification document that conforms to specific requirements, in accordance with regulations issued by the Department of Transportation. The agency received over 2000 comments to this notice. The agency's appropriations act imposed a restriction on the use of FY 99 funds to issue a final rule implementing the proposed requirements.  Subsequently the agency's FY 2000 appropriations act repealed section 656(b).  The agency will take action to terminate the rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Incentive Grants for Use of Seat Belts-Allocations Based on State Seat Belt Use Rates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1403 of TEA-21 established a new program of incentive grants (under Section 157 of chapter 1 of Title 23) to encourage States to increase seat belt use rates. This rulemaking action establishes the criteria and procedures to be followed to implement this incentive grant program. A State is eligible for an incentive grant if: (1) The State had a seat belt use rate greater than the national average for the two preceding calendar years, OR (2) The State's seat belt use rate in the previous calendar year was higher than the State's "base seat belt use rate." (The "base seat belt use rate" is defined as the State's highest use rate for any calendar year from 1996 through the calendar year preceding the previous calendar year.) The amount of funding each State is awarded is based on calculations by the Secretary of the annual savings to the Federal Government in medical costs (including savings under the medicare and medicaid programs). According to the statute, on September 1 of each year, beginning in 1998, the Department will determine which States meet the eligibility criteria, and on October 1 of each year, the Department will allocate the incentive grant funds. This rule sets forth the procedures the agency will use to evaluate seat belt use rates and to allocate funds. It was published as an interim final rule with immediate effectiveness because the first evaluations of seat belt use information were required on September 1, 1998, and the first allocations of funds were required on October 1, 1998. A final rule has been published.

The statute authorizes a total of $500 million for grants under this section for fiscal years 1999 through 2003. A State may use these grant funds for any project eligible for assistance under Title 23. If there are any unallocated funds available in FY 1999, the excess amounts will be apportioned to the states for expenditure on the Surface Transportation Program (STP). If there are any unallocated funds available in FY 2000 through FY 2003, the Secretary is directed to allocate the funds to selected States to carry out innovative projects that promote increased seat belt use rates. States will be selected based on plans submitted to the Secretary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupant Protection Incentive Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TEA-21 established a new program of incentive grants to encourage States to adopt and implement effective programs to reduce highway deaths and injuries resulting from individuals riding unrestrained or improperly restrained in motor vehicles. An interim final rule was published to establish criteria and procedures to be followed to implement this incentive grant program. A State may become eligible to receive a grant under this section by demonstrating that it has implemented at least four of the following six criteria: (1) a law requiring safety belt use by all front seat passengers (and beginning in FY2001, in any seat in the vehicle); (2) a primary safety belt law; (3) minimum fines or penalty points for belt and child seat violations; (4) a special traffic enforcement program; (5) a child passenger protection education program; and (6) a child passenger protection law - requiring minors to be properly secured. The statute authorizes a total of $68 million for grants under this section over 5 years beginning in fiscal year 1999. Each State that qualifies for a grant receives up to 25 percent of its FY 1997 section 402 apportionment. An interim final rule was published with immediate effectiveness, because its criteria applied to States seeking to receive funds beginning on October 1, 1998. A final rule has been published.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interior Trunk Release</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is responding to petitions for reconsideration of our final rule published October 20, 2000 (65 FR 63014, RIN 2127-AH83) which established a new standard that requires all new passenger cars with trunks be equipped with a release latch inside the trunk compartment.  The agency has made several substantive changes to the final rule.  It has excluded hatchbacks, station wagons and sub-compartments that are formed within the truck compartment when a convertible power top folds down into the trunk.  The agency has changed the definition of "trunk lid" to explicitly exclude the lids of interior storage compartment.  The agency has revised the definition of "trunk compartment" to include standard equipment in the determination of the size of the trunk compartment.  This amendment requires that interior trunk releases on passenger cars with front trunk compartments unlatch the primary, but not the secondary, latch if the passenger car is moving when the trunk release is actuated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Consistent with congressional mandate, FRA has continued its commitment to supporting Positive Train Control (PTC) technology development, testing and compatibility; and promoting deployment of PTC technology in the near future. In September 1997, FRA initiated joint fact finding efforts through the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC) Working Group on PTC. The advice and recommendations of RSAC formed the basis for proceeding to an NPRM that can facilitate introduction of advanced technology, including systems that support PTC functions. The rulemaking will address technical standards for all processor-based signal and train control products, amending 49 CFR part 236.]]></ABSTRACT>

Recently, use of this technology has begun to increase on the general system of North American railroads, placing new demands on agency resources to ensure the safety objectives contemplated by the current regulations are achieved.  The existence of federal regulations addressing this subject matter would further encourage safe use of the technology, which would reduce the risk of train-to-train collisions, better enforce speed restrictions, and increase the level of protection to roadway workers and their equipment.  These improvements will likely result in fewer fatalities, injuries, and economic damage associated with such risks. Given the potential for substantial safety benefits that this program represents, this initiative is extremely important to the agency.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FRA is issuing this proposal pursuant to its general rulemaking authority.  49 U.S.C. 20103(a).  Currently, railroads may discontinue or materially alter a signal system initially required by the Secretary of Transportation only with approval from the Secretary.  49 U.S.C. 20502.  Exercise of both of these powers has been delegated to the FRA Administrator.  49 C.F.R. 1.49.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Currently, FRA accepts waiver applications from railroads that seek relief from FRA safety regulations in order to test new signal and train control equipment.  Since FRA must consider the safety ramifications of each application on a case-by-case basis, this procedure can take years.

Prior to this action, FRA has considered:(1) leaving the existing regulatory requirement as is, and (2) adopting a single standard for the design of processor-based signal and train control systems.  However, agency inaction would hinder introduction of new, safer technology into railroad signal and train control; elimination of all railroad signal and train control system regulation would be a total abdication of the agency's statutory duties; and a single design standard would inhibit innovative signal and train control system designs.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule would provide flexible performance standards for the design of processor-based signal and train control systems, but would not mandate their usage.  FRA believes that a railroad would adopt such a system under one or more of the following conditions: (1) the new system is safer; (2) the new system is less expensive; and (3) continued maintenance of the existing system is no longer feasible.  The proposed rule would ensure that any replacement system is at least as safe as the current system.  Concerning existing processor-based systems, the proposed rule would require railroads to adopt a software management plan, which will ensure proper software configuration, resulting in decreased risk of train accidents due to signal malfunction.  FRA has not quantified these benefits because of the difficulties in estimating how many systems are likely to be affected by this rule, what the incremental cost would be, and when the benefits would accrue.  

Most of the costs of this proposed rule are associated with safety documentation required to demonstrate compliance with the performance standard.  As with many performance standards, this rule would require substantial safety documentation from the railroad to demonstrate compliance, both up front and during the life cycle of the system.  It appears that the primary cost involved in this proposed rule will be the product risk assessment, a one-time expense presently incurred by product suppliers.  For current processor-based systems, railroads face the cost of implementing a software management control plan, which is less expensive than attempting to satisfy current requirements, which did not contemplate the use of processor-based technology.

Overall, it appears that the benefits of the proposed rule outweigh the costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risk category addressed by the proposed rule is that of accidents that occur due to improper train operations and certain types of vandalism.  Types of accidents that may be prevented include train-to-train collisions, derailments due to excessive train speed, and trains penetrating the work limits of roadway workers.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency has proposed to address the crashworthiness of locomotives pursuant to the Rail Safety Enforcement and Review Act (1992). FRA investigated locomotive crashworthiness, as well as a variety of locomotive working conditions (See RIN 2130-AA89) and reported its finding to Congress. On October 31, 1996, the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC) accepted a preliminary planning task to schedule handling of these issues. The Locomotive Crew Safety Working Group met on January 23, 1997 to develop task statements that were forwarded to the full RSAC and accepted on June 24, 1997. The RSAC Locomotive Crashworthiness Working Group is considering specific recommendations for regulatory action.  Originally this project was considered significant; however, it appears likely that important incremental changes in current design standards can be made without significant disruption or controversy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is to revise the procedures and requirements for the receipt of financial assistance contained in part 266. These changes are required to reflect statutory modifications resulting from the Local Rail Service Reauthorization Act of 1989. The Local Freight Assistance Program has not been reauthorized after FY 1995. However, final regulations are necessary because States continue to submit applications for new projects to be funded from loan funds repaid to States by previous borrowers. FRA is reconsidering the need for these regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Locomotive Cab Working Conditions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency has proposed to address crew working conditions on locomotives, pursuant to the Rail Safety Enforcement and Review Act (1992). FRA investigated a variety of locomotive working conditions, including sanitation, noise and temperature, and reported its findings to Congress. On October 31, 1996, the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC) accepted a preliminary planning task to schedule handling of these issues, and established the Locomotive Crew Safety Working Group. The Working Group prepared recommendations addressing sanitation in locomotive cabs. The Working Group presented RSAC with these recommendations and the full RSAC voted to refer them to FRA as the basis for a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). FRA used these recommendations as the basis for an NPRM, which was published January 2, 2001. This project was originally considered significant because of substantial public interest; however, because the rule was developed through the RSAC process, which entails participation of all parties with significant interests, the expected public interest has not materialized.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>FRA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on sanitary conditions in locomotive cabs on January 2, 2001. 

As originally proposed, this rulemaking addressed both crew working conditions on locomotives and the crashworthiness of locomotives. However, in anticipation of issuing two distinct rulemakings, FRA has separated crashworthiness of locomotives out from the original proposal and is handling that subject in a separate rulemaking (RIN 2130-AB23).</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Railroads; Policy Statement on Enforcement Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Act (SBREFA) of 1996 requires, among other things, that Federal agencies establish communication and enforcement programs to address the unique concerns and operations of small entities. 

Pursuant to SBREFA, FRA published communication and enforcement policies with respect to small entities in an Interim Statement of Agency Policy and undertook an interim definition of "small entity" in this process. Also, FRA invited comment from the public for the purpose of adopting a new definition of "small entity" in the future, and conducted a public meeting with all interested parties to discuss this issue. FRA will issue a Final Statement of Policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations on Safety Integration Plans Governing Railroad Consolidations, Mergers, Acquisitions of Control and Start-Up Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FRA prepared a proposed rule that would require a railroad to file a Safety Integration Plan with the Federal Railroad Administration (1) whenever a Class I railroad, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, or a railroad providing commuter service proposes to merge, consolidate or acquire control of one another; (2) whenever an entity proposes to start operations as a railroad; (3) whenever a Class II railroad proposes to consolidate, merge, or acquire control of another Class II railroad with which it would directly interchange freight, or (4) whenever a railroad merger, consolidation or acquisition of control would result in operations that generate revenue in excess of the Class I threshold. The proposed rule prescribed content and subject matter areas that must be addressed in each plan before FRA may approve of such plan. FRA is in the process of preparing a final rule in this area and is working with the Surface Transportation Board to conduct coordinated rulemaking actions covering these transactions within the framework of each agency's jurisdiction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bridge Worker Safety Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition for rulemaking, FRA will amend the Bridge Worker Safety Rules through promulgation of an interim final rule. The interim final rule will likely prohibit the use of safety belts as fall protection, but would continue to require the use of harnesses, which are more commonly used in present industry practice. The interim final rule would also make technical clarifications to the existing standards. This action is supported by the industry and is consistent with new policies of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Data shows that safety belts present unnecessary safety risks, and are generally disfavored by companies involved with working at heights.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FRA proposes regulations governing operational and design safety of on-track equipment used by railroads for track maintenance. The regulations would cover self-propelled rail-mounted non-highway machines where light weight exceeds 7500 pounds. This rulemaking was requested by the Brotherhood of Maintenance-of-Way Employees (BMWE) as part of the organization's petition requesting revision of the track safety standards. FRA decided to respond to this portion of the BMWE petition in a rulemaking separate from the track safety standards revision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The original NPRM comment period ended on 4/11/94 but was twice extended; first, to 11/28/94 (59 FR 49374) and then to 02/27/95 (59 FR 67266). Due to various contentious issues raised during the NPRM comment period, FRA believed it might be advantageous to resolve differences in an open forum. Therefore, on September 30, 1997, FRA formally proposed this rulemaking as a new task (Task 97-8) for the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC). After discussion, the RSAC declined to accept the task at that time. The need to complete  other, higher priority projects has not permitted further action on this rulemaking.

        <RULE_TITLE>Improvements to the System for Reporting Train Accidents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FRA initiated a pilot study to investigate a possible approach for developing a new system of reporting train accidents, potentially leading to a revision of the regulations for reporting rail equipment accidents/incidents involving railroad property damage.  Under the current system, railroads are required to report any event involving property damage or injury if the total cost of the event for all railroads involved exceeds a threshold.  The cost of repairing the damage therefore acts as a surrogate measure of severity.  Repair cost, however, is unsatisfactory as a surrogate measure of severity.  Costs can be substantially affected by factors that have no relevancy to severity, such as the newness of any destroyed equipment and facilities.  Nevertheless, current regulations mandate that if a locomotive engineer has been found to be at fault for causing an event, he or she can be disqualified only if it is reportable as a train accident.  The perceived unfairness of disqualification being only loosely tied to accident severity is something FRA wishes to remedy by changing the reporting requirement to more closely reflect the severity of the event rather than just the book cost.

FRA is also interested in changing the system to reduce time and effort spent by railroads in reporting and recording train accidents.  The current reporting system causes substantial inconvenience and places a burden on the railroads.  The railroads' initial estimates of repair costs are somewhat subjective, yet they have to decide whether to report an event on the basis of the estimate.  In addition, if the actual cost of an event deviates from initial estimates by more than 10% and exceeds the threshold, then the railroad would be required to submit a report if the initial estimate was below the threshold and an amendment if the initial estimate was above.  The uncertainty about the status of an event may put undue pressure on railroads to report more events as train accidents than necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to the Accident/Incident Reporting Regulations and Guide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FRA intends to conform its regulations for accident/incident reporting to revised OSHA regulations, and to make appropriate revisions to the FRA Guide for Preparing Accident/Incident Reports.  On January 19, 2001, OSHA published revised regulations for Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting (66 FR 5965).  FRA accident/incident regulations pertaining to occupational injury and illness are patterned after the prior OSHA regulations and must be maintained in general conformity with those regulations to permit compatibility of data and integration of railroad industry data into national statistical databases.  OSHA's final rule is intended to become effective on January 1, 2002.  Accordingly, FRA needs to revise its own injury codes and narratives, cause codes and narratives, and circumstance codes and narratives (as set forth in the FRA Reporting Guide) as soon as feasible.  Minor administrative issues have also arisen since the last general revision of Part 225 on January 1, 1997 that will be considered in relation to possible amendments to the regulations or the Reporting Guide.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The final rule, RIN 2130-AA70, was published 9/30/94 (59 FR 50086), and was effective 1/1/95. In response to a petition for reconsideration, FRA conducted a review, together with rail labor and rail management, to address various implementation issues that had surfaced since the rule was enacted. After meeting with these parties in March 1995, FRA issued an Implementation Manual on April 14, 1995. An interim final rule intended to clarify implementation issues by making minor technical amendments was published on June 20, 1996, effective August 19, 1996. Response to the comments on that interim rule may result in further amendment of the rule.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

FRA might require all railroads that propose to use one-person crew operations to enroll in a pilot program and agree to conform to safety conditions set forth by FRA. The purpose of the pilot program would be to determine under what conditions, if any, one-person crew operations can be safely operated.]]></ABSTRACT>

Through this amendment, FRA extended the deadlines for use of unequipped and failed locomotives to February 1, 2002 for the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority, and to September 16, 2001 for CSX Transportation in order to give the railroads additional time to comply.

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Former section 12(h) of the FT Act, as amended (now 49 USC 5302(a)(9)), defines a &quot;new bus model&quot; as a bus model which has not been used in mass transportation service in the United States before the date of production of such model, or a bus model which has been used in such service, but which is being produced with a major change in configuration or components. A third interim final rule, published on 07/28/92, added two new categories of buses required to be tested. On 10/13/92 FTA published a notice postponing the application of the interim final rule for these vehicle types until 02/10/93. The FTA&apos;s fourth interim final rule, issued on 11/3/93, established four subcategories of small vehicles to facilitate the phase-in of testing. 
Intially, FTA had intended on issuing a final rule. However, FTA now believes that prior to the issuance of a final rule, the public should have the opportunity to provide additional comment, especially considering advances in technology and developments within the industry during the period that the interim final rule has been in effect.

        <RULE_TITLE>Clean Fuels Formula Grant Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 3008 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century establishes the Clean Fuels Formula Grant Program. This grant program will assist transit systems in purchasing or leasing clean fuel vehicles; constructing clean fuel or electrical re-charging facilities; modifying existing garage facilities to accommodate clean fuel vehicles; repowering pre-1993 engines with clean fuel technology which meets the current bus emission standards; and retrofitting or rebuilding pre-1993 engines before their half-life for rebuilding. This provision requires the Secretary to issue an implementing regulation that sets forth eligibility requirements and an apportionment formula for eligible projects. In FY 1999, all funds were apportioned to earmarked projects. This action is considered significant because of considerable congressional and public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>School Bus Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposed to amend the definition of "tripper" service, which is mass transportation service which is open to the public and which is modified to meet the needs of school students and personnel. The amended definition would have prohibited the use of certain signage and provided that tripper buses stop only at stops that are marked as available to the public.

Based on further analysis of the proposed change and review of the comments received from the NPRM, however, FTA has determined that the proposed amendment did not actually alter the definition of "tripper service" and appeared to create more confusion that clarification.  Consequently, FTA intends to withdraw the amendment as no purpose would be served by the proposed change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Highway Administration issued an NPRM to propose updating and revising the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) implementing regulation for FTA- and FHWA-funded or approved projects. The current regulations were issued in 1987 (23 CFR part 771, August 28, 1987) and experience since that time as well as changes in legislation, most recently by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), call for an updated approach to implementation of NEPA for FTA and FHWA projects and actions.

The FTA and the FHWA received numerous comments to the docket in response to this NPRM.  The agencies are currently reviewing these comments to determine what action should follow.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, FTA and FHWA are jointly proposing to revise the regulations governing the development of transportation plans and programs for urbanized (metropolitan) areas and States. These revisions are the product of statutory changes made by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which requires a continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated process in metropolitan areas and States. The regulations at 23 CFR part 450 and 49 CFR part 613 would be modified to reflect the impacts of TEA-21. 

The agencies (FTA and FHWA) have received numerous comments to the docket in response to the NPRM.  The comments are currently being analyzed by both agencies to determine what action should follow.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Buy America Requirements; Permanent Waiver for Microcomputers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 165(b)(2) of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 provides that a waiver of the Buy America requirements may be granted if materials and products being procured are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonable quantities and of satisfactory quality. Such a waiver was permanently granted in 1986 for microcomputers, as FTA grantees were experiencing difficulty in purchasing domestically produced microcomputer equipment appropriate to their needs. At that time, FTA reserved the right to reassess the need for a waiver based on the changing market for microcomputers. Since both the international and domestic market for microcomputers has changed since the permanent waiver was issued, FTA is soliciting comments as to whether this waiver should be revoked, modified or retained.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking presents the results and conclusions drawn from the charter services demonstration program, previously reported under RIN 2132-AA40, which was mandated by section 3040 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. That provision directed FTA to conduct a demonstration program in four States to permit public operators to provide needed charter services to certain civic and community groups. In addition to setting forth program results, this rulemaking sought recommendations regarding improvements to the charter service regulation. However, based on a review of the comments received, the FTA has determined that there is no justification for changing the rule. Consequently, the agency has withdrawn the NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rulemaking will concern, among other issues, (1) incorporating into part 381 MARAD's existing rules on priority of service of various U.S.-flag services; (2) clarifying how shipper agencies should comply with the existing provisions of the regulations regarding geographic areas and booking cargo on U.S.-flag vessels before foreign-flag vessels; (3) redefining certain terms for clarity to bring them in line with commercial practices; and other related issues. This rule is significant because of public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to equalize as far as possible the requirements that gas and hazardous liquid pipeline operators keep maps and records to show the location and other characteristics of pipelines. Operators would be required to keep an inventory of pipe and periodically report mileage and other facts. In addition, operators would be required to provide certain information to State agencies upon request. This is a significant action because of congressional and State concerns about the need for appropriate public officials to have pipeline information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Docket No. RSPA-97-2426. In furtherance of this rulemaking, the Department of Transportation&apos;s Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) is working with other Federal and State agencies and pipeline industry to create a voluntary national pipeline mapping system. This system, when complete, will show the location and selected attributes of the major natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines and liquefied natural gas facilities operating in the United States. OPS will add additional data layers into the system, including layers on population densities, unusually sensitive areas, natural disaster probability and high consequence areas, hydrography, and transportation networks. OPS will use the system to depict pipelines in relation to the public and the environment, and to work with other government agencies and industry during an incident. 

A joint government/industry Mapping Quality Action Team (MQAT II) drafted national pipeline mapping standards that are being used to create the digital pipeline layer. These include standards for electronic data submissions, paper map submissions, and metadata (data on the data). The team also drafted standards that are being used by the pipeline mapping repository receiving the pipeline information. The team has pilot tested the draft standards and established relationships with State agencies, industry, and others to exchange data that meets the standards.

The National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) is a full-featured geographic information system that allows the Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), for the first time, to accurately view pipelines in relation to the communities and environments they cross.  The pipeline data layers being assembled cover both interstate and intrastate natural gas transmission pipelines and hazardous liquid trunk lines.  In conjunction with the pipeline data layers, the NPMS contains layers depicting population, urbanized areas, political boundaries, roads, railroads, hydrography, consequence and hazard areas, and usually sensitive areas.  The NPMS will eventually include three accurate base data layers of differing scale derived from USGS hard-copy quads.  The base layers not only provide an accurate base on which to view the location of pipelines but also contain important textual information such as places, roads, contours, and hydrography.

OPS has worked with the interstate natural gas transmission and hazardous liquid trade associations to identify a mapping contact for each operator.  The operators have been contacted and OPS is assisting them in preparing their data for submission.  Many of these operators have data in a digital format, which theoretically is easier and less time-consuming to process than hard-copy maps.  OPS is currently working with the intrastate natural gas trade associations to recruit widespread participation in the NPMS by intrastate natural gas transmission pipeline companies.

The NPMS currently consists of a single National Repository and twelve state repositories located in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas.  OPS published two more Commerce Business Daily announcements in February 2000 - one for additional state repositories and the other for a regional repository.

OPS is collecting the liquid trunk line and natural gas transmission pipeline data.  OPS regulates approximately 157,000 miles of liquid trunk line and 352,000 miles of natural gas transmission pipelines for a total of 509,000 miles.  

Operators are submitting data to the NPMS.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to Loading, Unloading, and Storage</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposes to better define the applicability of the Federal Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) in order to clarify the relationship among Federal, State, local, and tribal agencies in the regulation of hazardous materials. Under circumstances specified in Federal statutes, the regulations of other Federal agencies (EPA and OSHA) and non-Federal governments (States, localities, and Indian tribes) must be consistent with or defer to RSPA's regulation of the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce. However, other Federal and non-Federal requirements are generally not limited where hazardous materials are not in transportation. Activities relating to loading, unloading, and storage of hazardous materials have become areas of particular uncertainty and concern to both industry and non-Federal governments. This action is significant because of the substantial public interest in reducing uncertainty and avoiding conflicting regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In recent years, RSPA has issued interpretations and administrative decisions on a case-by-case basis about whether particular activities are in "transportation" and therefore subject to regulation under the HMR. Because of increasing State and local regulation of hazardous materials, RSPA concluded that an overall rulemaking is appropriate, rather than just case-by-case decisions. RSPA believes that better overall definitions of the applicability of the HMR will reduce uncertainty by the regulated community and other regulatory agencies (both Federal and non-Federal) as to which agency has regulatory authority. Greater certainty in this regard should promote improved compliance with the HMR and also with the requirements of other regulatory agencies.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 5103 of title 49 U.S.C. specifies that the Secretary shall prescribe regulations for the safe transportation of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce applicable to, among others, any person who offers hazardous materials for transportation or who transport hazardous materials in commerce. In addition, section 5125 of title 49 U.S.C. sets forth the circumstances under which differing non-Federal requirements are preempted.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Commenters to the ANPRM and SANPRM suggested alternative ways to describe the applicability of the HMR. One suggestion is to describe the applicability of the HMR in relationship to specific transportation functions. Another is to describe the applicability of the HMR over specific regulated entities, such as those who offer hazardous materials for transportation or those who transport hazardous materials. RSPA is considering each of the alternatives proposed.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[RSPA made a preliminary determination that there is neither an increase nor decrease in the costs of compliance with the HMR for persons who offer hazardous materials for transportation or transport hazardous materials in commerce.  The preliminary regulatory evaluation was entered into the docket and is available for review.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Clarifying the applicability of the HMR should reduce uncertainty as to which regulatory agency's requirements apply to any particular activity involving hazardous materials and improve compliance with the HMR, the requirements of EPA and OSHA, and non-Federal requirements. This should result in improved compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements, and improve hazardous materials transportation safety, reduce risks to the environment from hazardous materials, and promote workplace safety at facilities that manufacture or handle hazardous materials.]]></RISKS>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Docket No. PS-124. The NAPSR report was published November 9, 1993, at 58 FR 59431, as part of the earlier review of the standards.

Early in 1992, RSPA began an extensive review of the federal gas pipeline safety regulations (49 CFR 192) and invited the public to participate (57 FR 4745; February 7, 1992).  RSPA published a Notice of Proceed Rulemaking (NPRM), proposing changes to 38 regulations in part 192 (Notice 1: 57 FR 39572; August 31, 1992).  In addition, the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives (NAPSR) reported on a separate but related review of part 192.  Because the NAPSR report concerned a few of the regulations covered by thge NPRM and had similar objectives, we published the report and requested public comment on its various recommended rule changes (Notice 2: 58 FR 59431; November 9, 1992) and later extended the comment period (Notice 3: 58 FR 68382; December 27, 1993).  A final rule was published on June 6, 1996.

However, not all the changes suggested by the commenters were incorporated in the final rule.  A further review of the regulatins in Part 192, based on the record in this docket, was initiated in late 1996.  This review identified proposals from the Gas Piping Technology Committee (GPTC), the ASME B31.8 (gas pipeline safety standards) committee, and NAPSR that have not yet been addressed.

In October 1997, NAPSR and the gas pipeline industry formed the State Industry Regulatory Review Committee (SIRRC), to discuss the regulatory proposals of NAPSR and other issues.  On May 3, 1999, the SIRRC provided OPS a report on outcome of the discussion on 329 proposed changes in the gas pipeline safety regulations.

Most of the SIRRC recommendations will be addressed in a subsequent notice in this docket.  The welding recommendations are being adopted in the periodic update (Docket No. RSPA-99-6106 RIN 2137-AD35).  The corrosion control recommendations are being considered in a review of the pipeline corrosion regulations in Docket No. RSPA-97-2762; RIN 2137-AD24.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety: Recommendations To Change Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1995, the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives (NAPSR) completed its review of the hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations. NAPSR provided RSPA with 28 recommendations for changes to 49 CFR part 195, the hazardous liquid pipeline regulations. NAPSR's recommendations are aimed at making the regulations more explicit, understandable, and enforceable. This action would address the need to change part 195 as NAPSR recommended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety: Producer-Operated Outer Continental Shelf Gas and Hazardous Liquid Pipelines That Cross Directly Into State Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would implement a provision of the December 10, 1996 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Pipelines. This rule would address producer-operated pipelines that cross into State waters without first connecting with a transporting operator's facility on the OCS. It is complementary to the Direct Final Rule that addressed OCS oil or gas pipelines located upstream of the points at which operating responsibility for the pipelines transfers from a producing operator to a transporting operator (62 FR 61692, November 19, 1997; and 63 FR 126598, March 16, 1998). The proposed rule also would address the procedures by which producer and transportation pipeline operators would petition for permission to operate under either DOT or DOI regulations governing pipeline design, construction, operation, and maintenance according to the operational circumstances of their respective pipelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety:  Pipeline Integrity Management in High Consequence Areas (Gas Transmission Pipeline Operators)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An October 21, 1999, notice announced a public meeting to consider the need for additional safety and environmental regulations for gas transmission lines, hazardous liquid pipelines, and distribution pipelines in high-density population areas, commercially navigable waterways, and areas unusually sensitive to environmental damage.  The public meeting was held on November 18-19, 1999 in Herndon, Virginia.  The meeting was to determine the extent to which operators now have integrity management programs, to explore effective ways to promote their development and implementation by all operators, and to discuss mechanisms to confirm the adequacy of such operator-developed programs.  Participants in the meeting discussed a practical definition of high consequence areas, as well as the need, if any, for increased inspection, enhanced damage prevention, improved emergency response, and other measures to prevent and mitigate pipeline leaks and ruptures in these areas.  Comments from the public were due by January 17, 2000.

A final rule was published to require validation/testing of the integrity of certain hazardous liquid pipelines in high consequence areas (RIN 2137-AD45). A public meeting was held on February 12-14, 2001 to present information on integrity requirements for gas transmission pipelines.

Consideration of a similar gas rule is underway.  Rulemakings addressing gas transmission line high consequence areas, direct assessment, and overall integrity management program will be published in 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety:  Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Operator Annual Reports</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the pipeline safety regulations to require hazardous liquid pipeline operators to submit a  Hazardous Liquid Operator Annual Report.  The information on the hazardous liquid operator annual report form is  needed to normalize hazardous liquid accident information for identifying safety trends in the accident data.  The inventory information that the annual report would provide addresses a major deficiency in the current information collection.  Through a separate rulemaking, RSPA is also improving the hazardous liquid accident form by expanding "failure cause" categories and collecting more detailed information about the impact of failed pipelines.  Together with the improved hazardous liquid accident report, the proposed Hazardous Liquid Operator Annual Report will address the concerns of RSPA/OPS, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Congress, and others, increase the overall usefulness of the data and make analysis more efficient and meaningful.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety: Response Plans for Onshore Oil Pipelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The interim final rule established regulations requiring response plans for certain onshore oil pipelines. Those regulations are mandated by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-380). Pipeline operators filed response plans under this interim final rule, and numerous tabletop exercises and area exercises have been conducted to validate the planning process. The purpose of these requirements is to improve response capabilities and minimize the impact of onshore oil spills from pipelines. This rule is significant because of substantial public and congressional interest. Because of time that has passed since issuance of Interim Final Rule, an advisory bulletin and an interpretation will be issued to address technical issues.  Subsequently, a new NPRM will be issued to update record and support issuance of a final rule later in 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Filling of Propane Cylinders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In an ANPRM, RSPA solicited comments on the merits of a petition for rulemaking to require registration and training of persons who fill propane cylinders, certification of filling equipment operators, and proof of financial responsibility. The petition would also allow filling of propane cylinders by volume rather than by weight, which is currently required by the Hazardous Materials Regulations. A Federal Register notice will terminate rulemaking action in this docket and deny the petition for rulemaking because, based on the comments, there is no safety justification for imposing the costs of a registration, training and financial responsibility program for cylinder fillers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Limited Extension of Requirements for Labeling Certain Shipments of Materials Poisonous by Inhalation (PIH)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In an interim final rule, RSPA provided a limited exception, until October 1, 2001, from the requirements for PIH labels on certain packages intended for transportation in international commerce.  The interim final rule was intended to facilitate international commerce and to provide more time for the UN Committee of Experts to consider U.S. proposals for adopting the PIH labels and placards.  The final rule responds to two comments received on the interim final rule and addresses further exceptions from PIH labeling and placarding requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Harmonization With the United Nations Recommendations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, and International Civil Aviation Organization&apos;s Technical Instructions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[RSPA proposed to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to maintain alignment with international standards, promulgated by the United nations, the International Maritime Organization, the International Civil Aviation Organization, and the International Atomic Agency, by incorporating numerous changes to proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations, air-transport quantity limitations and vessel stowage requirements.

In a final rule published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2001, RSPA adopted some of the standards proposed in the NPRM.  In a subsequent final rule, RSPA intends to adopt the other proposed standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule will apply to hazardous liquid pipeline operators who own or operate less than 500 miles of pipelines. The rule will require integrity assessment of pipeline segments that could affect high consequence areas, and consideration of additional preventive and mitigative actions to protect these locations from pipeline spills.  OPS is proposing that an operator develop and follow an integrity management program that continually assesses and evaluates the integrity of those pipelines that could affect a high consequence area, through internal inspection or pressure testing, and data integration and analysis.]]></ABSTRACT>

RSPA is delaying final action on these proposals because of their interaction with final action on the FY 2002 Federal budget.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety:  Pipeline Integrity Management in High Consequence Areas (Repair Criteria)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule on integrity management for hazardous liquid pipelines with 500 or more miles of pipelines (December 1, 2000, 65 FR 75378) requires operators to assess, evaluate, repair, and validate through comprehensive analysis the integrity of hazardous liquid pipeline segments that, in the event of a leak, could affect high consequence areas.  An operator must develop a schedule that prioritizes defects for evaluation and repair, including time frames for promptly reviewing and analyzing the integrity assessment and completing the repairs.  An  operator must also provide additional protection for these pipeline segments through other remedial actions, and preventive and mitigative measures.  This additional action is required because OPS completely restructured the section of the rule pertaining to actions an operator must take to address pipeline integrity issues and allowed 60 days for comments on the provisions in section 195.452(h).  We are now evaluating these comments and will likely issue an additional final rule to modify the repair requirements or notice stating that the section stands as written.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety: Passage of Internal Inspection Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A final rule (59 FR 17275; April 12, 1994) amended the gas and hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations to require that new and certain replacement pipelines be designed and constructed to accommodate the passage of instrumented internal inspection devices ('smart pigs'). This action was in response to a mandate in the pipeline Safety Reauthorization Act of 1988.  The intended effected of amended regulations was to improve the safety of gas, hazard liquid, and carbon dioxide pipelines by permitting their inspection by 'smart pigs' using the  latest technology for detecting and recording abnormalities in the pipe wall. This rule required new and replacement pipelines to be capable of passing a 'pig' for internal inspection.

In response to two petitions for reconsideration, Notice 2 (59 FR 49896; September 30, 1994) was published to extend the compliance date for existing gas transmission lines and to modify the requirements for modification of line sections based on partial replacement of gas transmission pipelines located offshore and in rural areas.  Subsequently, Notice 3 (60 FR 7133; February 7, 1995) was published to suspend enforcement of the final rule requirements for new and existing offshore gas transmission lines and for modifications to line segments based on partial replacement of pipe in existing onshore gas transmission lines.  Nonetheless, hazardous liquid pipelines, carbon dioxide pipelines, new onshore gas transmission lines, and the actual replaced components in existing onshore gas transmission lines must comply with the final rule of April 1994.  The next action is undetermined.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Docket No. PS-126. The integrity testing proposal in &quot;Proposals for Pipeline Safety,&quot; RIN 2137-AB27, was consolidated, in part, into this rulemaking.  The final rule (59 FR 17275; April 12, 1994) amended the gas and hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations to require that new and certain replacement pipelines be designed and constructed to accomodate the passage of instrumented internal inspection devices (&apos;smart pigs&apos;).  This action was in response to a mandate in the Pipeline Safety Reauthorization Act of 1988.  The intended effect of these amended regulations was to improve the safety of gas, hazardous liquid, and carbon dioxide pipelines by permitting their inspection by &apos;smart pigs&apos; using the latest technology for detecting and recording abnormalities in the pipe wall.  This rule required new and replacement pipelines to be capable of passing a &apos;pig&apos; for internal inspection.

        <RULE_TITLE>Safeguarding Food From Contamination During Transportation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Sanitary Food Transportation Act of 1990 (49 USC 5701 et seq.) requires the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with the Secretaries of Agriculture and Health and Human Services and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, to issue regulations concerning the transportation of food, food additives, drugs, devices, and cosmetics in motor and rail vehicles also used to transport nonfood products that could pose an unreasonable danger to human or animal health when so transported. This rulemaking will implement the statutory requirements. This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public and congressional interest. RSPA's next action is undetermined because it has requested personnel resources from Congress necessary to perform these food safety functions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In connection with the series of rules Pipeline Integrity Management in High Consequence Areas, the Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) may propose related rules governing operator communications with local public officials and agencies.  To assist in this effort, the OPS Technical Advisory Committees created an Integrity Management Communications Subcommittee to focus on communications issues.  The Subcommittee has equal representation from the public, government agencies, and the pipeline industry.  It provides feedback, insight, and information to the advisory committee on the content and delivery of information conveyed to local officials and public about pipeline operations, systems, and the risks they pose in or near high consequence areas.  The Subcommittee is also assisting OPS in finalizing a primer to educate local officials on pipelines and their operations.  It held its first meeting on August 28, 2000, to discuss the content and delivery of pipeline information to be conveyed to local officials and members of the public in or near high consequence areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The corrosion-control regulations for gas pipelines will be revised to incorporate the latest safety practices for corrosion protection of steel pipe.  Updated criteria for corrosion protection will be incorporated into the federal pipeline safety regulations including, if possible, the incorporation by reference of voluntary consensus standards.  Any change will be designed to improve the corrosion protection of new and existing piping for corrosion and to control any deleterious effects.  Any changes will be comparable to the requirements for hazardous liquid and carbon dioxide pipelines in 49 CFR Part 195.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Revision of Requirements for Carriage by Rail Car and Motor Vehicle</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is based on a joint petition for rulemaking submitted by the American Trucking Associations, Inc. and the Association of American Railroads.  The intended impact of a proposal to address this petition is to streamline the requirements of parts 174 and 177.  However, RSPA believes that we should broaden the scope of a proposal to cover all rail, air, highway, and vessel carrier requirements in parts 174, 175, 176 and 177.  Further, in 2003, we will be reviewing part 176, Carriage by Vessel, in accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-354).  Therefore, we are planning a new project to address requirements for transporting hazardous materials by all four modes.  This rulemaking action is terminated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modernizing the Passenger Origin-Destination Survey</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Historically, the source document for the Passenger Origin-Destination Survey was the auditor's coupon of the ticket. Until recently, these coupons provided all the information that was needed for the Survey. In the last few years, the carriers have begun using trip passes in conjunction with the tickets, thereby eliminating some of the data that is required to be reported in the Survey. Other innovations used by the industry, such as change-of-gauge flights and code-sharing, have impacted the Survey and obscured some of the data that is required to be reported, such as change of planes and junction points. This rulemaking will explore whether there are alternative sources for the data and modernize the collection system to keep pace with the industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

It would specify that a passenger traveling on a ticket or voucher received as compensation for denied boarding or as settlement of a consumer complaint is considered to be a revenue passenger. The revised definitions will harmonize Departmental regulations with those adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

        <RULE_TITLE>Resolution Funding Corporation Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule revises the regulation governing the operations of the Resolution Funding Corporation (Funding Corporation). The Funding Corporation is a mixed-ownership government corporation which, among other things, pays interest on certain debt obligations that it issued to finance resolution of the savings and loan crisis in the late 1980s. Congress recently transferred oversight of the Funding Corporation to the Secretary of the Treasury and made changes affecting how the Funding Corporation funds interest payments. The revisions in the interim final rule implement these changes and generally streamline the regulation by eliminating provisions that are no longer necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

The interim rule is part of a continuing program to reduce unnecessary burdens upon financial institutions complying with the Bank Secrecy Act and increase the cost-effectiveness of the counter-money laundering policies of the Department of the Treasury.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Claims on Account of Treasury Checks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title 31 CFR part 245 governs the issuance of replacement checks for checks drawn on the United States Treasury when: 1) the original check has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated or defaced to such an extent that it is rendered non-negotiable; 2) the original check has been negotiated and paid on a forged or unauthorized indorsement; and 3) the original check has been cancelled pursuant to 31 CFR part 240. This regulation is being revised to update the regulation's definitions to make them consistent with the language of the proposed revisions to the definitions in 31 CFR part 240. Other revisions will govern the use of the Check Forgery Insurance Fund (Fund). The Fund is a revolving fund established to settle payee claims of non-receipt where the original check has been fraudulently negotiated. The Fund ensures that innocent payees, whose Treasury checks have been fraudulently cashed, receive replacement checks in a timely manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation governs collection and deposit regulations requiring timely methods, principally Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), for the collection and deposit of funds as authorized by section 2652 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984.  This regulation also incorporates revisions authorized by the Cash Management Act of 1990 and the Cash Management Improvement Act Amendments of 1992.  These revisions require executive agencies to use effective, efficient disbursement mechanisms, principally EFT, in the delivery of payments.  An agency's failure to comply with this regulation may result in a charge equal to the cost of such non-compliance to the Treasury's General Fund.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This first rule amends the regulation to provide the Secretary greater flexibility to adjust the rate of interest charged on funds loaned through the Treasury Tax and Loan (TT&L) program.  The rule also allows for a new TT&L investment option for financial institutions. This second rule includes general revisions which will provide needed updates to support operational changes to the system used for the collection of corporate withholding taxes and the investment of the Government's excess operating funds; streamline the regulation by converting to the plain language standard; and incorporate other needed updates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Notice of proposed rulemaking II (NPRM II) was a reissuance of NPRM I published on 9/21/95, which proposed to fix the time by which Treasury can decline payment on Treasury checks, provide financial institutions with a date certain for final payments, and provide greater clarity by defining previously undefined terms. NPRM I also proposed that the Department of the Treasury may instruct Federal Reserve Banks to intercept benefit payment checks to deceased payees and to return, unpaid, those checks. In addition to the revisions proposed in NPRM I, NPRM II announced the Department of the Treasury's intent that this regulation supersede Federal common law regarding the risk of loss on checks containing forged disbursing officer signatures, such as counterfeits. The Interim Final Rule will amend this regulation to implement provisions of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 authorizing the collection of debts owed by presenting banks through Treasury Check Offset. NPRM III is a reissuance of NPRM II and will address, at a minimum, the issues in NPRMs I and II.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Payments Under Judgment and Private Relief Acts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation governs the procedure for securing payment for money judgments against the United States. The proposed revision will update the procedure for making claims. This will benefit claimants and others in understanding the claims process. This regulation currently describes a process that involves the General Accounting Office (GAO) and the Treasury Department. The change will eliminate the GAO from this description to reflect legislative amendments that effect this change. Also, the regulation currently identifies monetary thresholds that no longer exist. The change will reflect the removal of these monetary limitations and the resulting submission requirements. These changes in the regulation will make it consistent with current practices for claimants securing money judgments against the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

A section will be added to part 25 to authorize and regulate the alternating use of brewery premises by different brewers. Regulations authorizing the operation of brew-on-premises facilities will be added to part 25.]]></ABSTRACT>

These changes will simplify brewery reports and operations and eliminate obsolete regulatory provisions. Specific changes would include the implementation of a formula system for the breweries to replace the statement of process; the establishment of a separate subpart containing simplified regulations for brewpubs; authorizing alternating brewery premises among different proprietors; eliminating the annual notice to pay the reduced rate of tax for most breweries; authorizing brewers to file the Brewer's Report of Operations on a quarterly basis; and authorizing many brewers to take inventories quarterly rather than monthly. The rule will also propose minimum production standards for beer thereby reducing formula filings and a revised statement of net contents requirement for certain container sizes.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This notice of proposed rulemaking will address many of the issues in part 55, Commerce in Explosives, especially the issues in requirements for explosives, including fireworks explosive materials. Pursuant to the periodic review requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610), ATF published on January 10, 1997 a General Notice initiating the review of a final rule published in 1990 concerning the storage of fireworks explosives materials. The 1990 rule, which was issued as a result of the number and severity of explosions occurring on the premises of special fireworks plants, amended certain regulations codified at 27 CFR part 55, generally concerning the recordkeeping and storage of fireworks explosive materials. The regulations also codified two fireworks related rulings issued in 1979 and 1985, and the provisions of Public Law 99-308 relating to black powder. As a result of the public comments received in response to the General Notice and further study of this issue, ATF will issue a notice of proposed rulemaking covering this and related commerce and storage of explosives issues.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[18 U.S.C. 847 grants the Secretary of the Treasury broad discretion to promulgate regulations necessary for the importation, manufacture, distribution, and safe storage of explosives materials. 18 U.S.C. 846 authorizes the Secretary to prescribe precautionary measures to prevent the recurrence of accidental explosions in which explosive materials were involved. The General Notice and upcoming notice of proposed rulemaking are also being issued pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610), which requires an agency to review within 10 years of publication rules for which an agency prepared a final regulatory flexibility analysis addressing the impact of the rule on small businesses or other small entities.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 contains amendments to the Gun Control Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. chapter 44). These amendments add to the category of "prohibited persons" anyone convicted of a "misdemeanor crime of domestic violence." The amendments require individuals acquiring handguns from Federal firearms licenses to certify (in accordance with the Brady Law) that they have not been convicted of such a crime. The amendments also provide for sales between Federal firearms licensees of curio and relic firearms away from their licensed premises.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Residency Requirement for Persons Acquiring Firearms</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The temporary rule amends the regulations to provide for a firearms purchaser's affirmative statement of his or her State of residence on ATF Form 4473 (Firearms Transaction Record) and ATF Form 5300.35 (Statement of Intent to Obtain a Handgun) in acquiring a firearm from a Federal firearms licensee. The temporary rule also amends the regulations to require that aliens purchasing a firearm provide proof of residency through the use of substantiating documentation, such as utility bills or a lease agreement. In addition, the regulations are being amended to require that licensees examine a photo identification document from aliens purchasing firearms. These regulations implement President Clinton's March 5, 1997 announcement of firearms initiatives intended to protect the American public from gun violence.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alcoholic Content Labeling for Malt Beverages</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An October 28, 1992 decision in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado held that the Federal Alcohol Administration (FAA) Act prohibition against the statement of alcoholic content on malt beverage labels is unconstitutional under the First Amendment. ATF issued an interim rule on April 19, 1993, which permits the optional labeling of malt beverages with their alcoholic content. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the appeal of this court decision on November 30, 1994. The Supreme Court decided this case on April 19, 1995, in favor of Coors, and unanimously found the FAA Act prohibition against labeling malt beverages with their alcohol content unconstitutional. ATF will issue an NPRM on the subject of malt beverage labeling to request information on tolerances, type size, placement, and whether such an alcoholic content labeling requirement should be mandatory.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[ATF proposes changes to the distilled spirits plant regulations to implement the Administration's Reinventing Government effort to reduce the regulatory burden and streamline requirements. ATF believes these proposed changes will benefit distilled spirits plant proprietors and other industry members by enabling them to operate more easily and with less regulatory oversight from the Government. ATF is also requesting comments on the possibility of revising the distilled spirits plant recordkeeping requirements to accomplish the Government's goals through a system that would be based, as much as possible, on proprietors' own recordkeeping methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed San Bernabe Viticultural Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) has received petitions proposing the establishment of the San Bernabe viticultural area and the realignment of the San Lucas American Viticultural Area (AVA). Both areas are situated within the Central Coast AVA, the Monterey AVA, and are located in central Monterey County, California. The proposed San Bernabe AVA would consist of 24,796 acres of land that the petitioner states is predominantly rolling hills with sandy soils that differ from the surrounding Monterey AVA. The San Lucas realignment would transfer 1,100 of its northwest acres to the proposed San Bernabe southern area in an effort to conform with geographic considerations of the new area. These proposals are the result of petitions filed by Claude Hoover of Delicato Family Vineyards.]]></ABSTRACT>

This final rule responds to actions taken by the Government of Canada with respect to tobacco products exported to the United States, whereby the Untied States importers of Canadian tobacco products may obtain a reimbursement from the Government of Canada of an amount equivalent to the United States excise taxes paid at the time of importation. No new requirements are imposed by the United States on importers who voluntarily participate in this Canadian program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Public Law 106-476, Sections 4002 and 4003, Relating to Tobacco Importation Restrictions, Markings, Repackaging and Destruction of Forfeited Tobacco Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 4002 and 4003 of the Tariff Suspension and Trade Act of 2000, which included the Imported Cigarette Compliance Act of 2000, revised title 26 U.S.C., the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC).  These revisions: 1) require that tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes manufactured in the United States and labeled for exportation can only be re-imported by the original manufacturer, or by an export warehouse authorized to do so by the original manufacturer; 2) provide that articles may not be sold or held for sale for domestic consumption in the United States unless they are removed from their export packaging and repackaged by the original manufacturer into new packaging that does not contain an export label; and 3) require the destruction of tobacco products forfeited under section 5761(c). These new provisions of the law are effective February 7, 2001.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2001, also revised the IRC by allowing travelers to bring personal-use quantities of tobacco products into the United States (up to the quantity allowed entry free of tax and duty under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States). This provision of the law was made retroactive to January 1, 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Document would amend the Customs Regulations to implement amendments to section 504 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, which pertains to limitations on the liquidation of entries that were contained in the Customs Modernization provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act. Amendments would allow the reconciliation of entries to be treated as if they were entry summaries, subject to normal liquidation requirements; authorize the electronic transmittal of notices of extension and suspension of liquidation; extend the time period in which Customs must liquidate a suspended entry after the suspension is removed; remove the application of the four-year limitation to suspended entries; and provide that Customs must also inform sureties when an entry is suspended or extended.]]></ABSTRACT>

Amendments set forth the procedures for both the identification of those prototypes properly entitled to duty-free entry, as well as the permissible sale of such prototypes, following use in the United States, as scrap, waste, or for recycling.]]></ABSTRACT>

Currently, the regulations allow for credit or charge cards, which have been authorized by the Commissioner of Customs, to be used at designated Customs-serviced locations with a limitation that this method of payment may only be used by noncommercial entities.

The CAFRA creates general rules governing civil forfeiture proceedings. However, CAFRA specifically exempts from certain of its requirements forfeitures that are made under a number of statutes, among those being: the Tariff Act of 1930 or any other provision of law codified in title 19, U.S.C.; the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; and the Trading with the Enemy Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to implement a change made by the Trade and Development Act of 2000 to the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, also known as the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), that enables certain liquers and spirituous beverages to obtain duty-free entry under specified conditions when the beverages are processed in the territory of Canada from rum that is the growth, product or manufacture either of a CBI beneficiary country or of the U.S. Virgin Islands.  The regulations set forth the certification and supporting documentation requirements that are necessary to establish compliance with the statutory law, thereby enabling that the rum beverages are properly entitled to duty-free entry under the CBI.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Straddles--One Side Larger Than the Other</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A "straddle" occurs, for purposes of section 1092 of the Internal Revenue Code, when a taxpayer enters into two separate positions in financial instruments that "offset" each other. Positions offset each other when, taken together, they substantially diminish the taxpayer's risk of loss. A taxpayer in a "straddle" is subject to various limitations on recognition of loss on the positions until both positions are liquidated. These regulations will deal with the situation in which one position is larger than the other (that is, the diminution of the risk of loss for one position is only partial).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Normal Retirement Age for Pension Plans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations will provide guidance regarding the determination of normal retirement age in a pension plan, including a money purchase pension plan, target benefit plan and defined benefit plan. Section 411(a)(8) defines the term normal retirement age as the earlier of: 1) the time a participant attains normal retirement age under the plan; or 2) the later of the time a plan participant attains age 65, or the 5th anniversary of the time a plan participant commenced participation in the plan. These regulations also would provide section 411(d)(6) relief for amendments that modify a pension plan's normal retirement age to conform with the proposed regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed regulations provide that at the time of the exercises of a statutory stock option, the individual who was granted the statutory stock option receives wages for FICA and FUTA purposes. The proposed regulations also provide that the amount of wages received equals the excess of the fair market value of the stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the statutory stock option over the amount paid for the stock. The proposed regulations also provide that income tax withholding is not required when an individual exercises a statutory stock option because no income is recognized at the time of exercise by reason of section 421(a)(1).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations recharacterize obligation-shifting transactions. Obligation-shifting transactions are transactions in which the transferee assumes obligations, or acquires property subject to obligations under an existing lease or similar agreement. The transferor or any other party has already received, or retains the right to receive amounts that are allocable to periods after the transfer. The regulations prevent tax avoidance by recharacterizing obligation-shifting transactions in a manner that clearly reflects the parties' income.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation implements and interprets section 7602(c), concerning third-party contacts, so they can understand how the law will affect them. The Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, section 3417(a), created a new section 7602(c), which requires that the IRS may not contact third parties with request to the determination or collection of the tax liability of a taxpayer without providing reasonable notice to the taxpayer in advance. It also requires the IRS to keep a list of contacts and provide it periodically to the taxpayer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this regulation is to implement the amendment contained in the Taxpayer Bill of Rights II (TBOR II) to Internal Revenue Code section 6103(c). TBOR II eliminated the requirement for a request or consent for disclosure to be in writing. The proposed regulations would permit the Internal Revenue Service to disclose returns and return information to a taxpayer's designee, pursuant to a non-written request for or consent to disclosure. The regulations will also provide rules and guidance for consent in an electronic environment. Additionally, the regulations will provide guidance to Internal Revenue Service personnel to clarify a number of issues that have arisen since the regulation was initially promulgated in the late 1970s.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations Under Section 367 To Reflect Section 131 of the Tax Reform Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-369)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The income tax regulations under section 367 will be amended to reflect the changes made to that section by the Tax Reform Act of 1984. Section 367 now provides generally that a foreign corporation will not be considered to be a corporation, for purposes of certain nonrecognition provisions of the Code, upon the transfer of property to such corporation by a U.S. person. The statute provides certain exceptions to that rule, exemptions to those exceptions, and special rules applicable to certain specified transfers. The regulations will provide guidance concerning the applicability of the general rule and its exceptions and special rules, including guidance concerning transfers of assets for use in the active conduct of a trade or business, stock transfers, transfers of intangible assets, and transfers of branch operations that have operated at a loss.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The income tax regulations under section 367(a) will be amended to reflect the changes made to that section by the Technical and Miscellaneous Corrections Act of 1988. Section 367(a)(5) now provides that a transfer of assets to a foreign corporation in an exchange described in section 361 is subject to section 367(a)(1), unless certain ownership requirements and other conditions are met. The regulations will provide guidance regarding the application of this section. The change in the statute was necessitated by the repeal of "General Utilities."]]></ABSTRACT>

A taxpayer will allocate such a deduction solely to U.S. source income, if he designated the contribution for U.S. use and reasonably believed that it would be so used. He will allocate such a deduction solely to foreign source income, if he knows, or has reason to know, that it would be used solely outside the United States, or that it must necessarily be so used. In all other cases, he would ratably apportion such a deduction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of GAAP Earnings as E&amp;P of Foreign Corporations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations are part of Treasury's ongoing simplification efforts. The regulations would modify the computation of earnings and profits (E&P) of foreign corporations by allowing taxpayers to account for inventory costs, using capitalization methods used for financial accounting purposes rather than the uniform capitalization rules required by section 263A. The regulations would also permit reliance on financial accounting conventions in computing depreciation for foreign corporations deriving less than 20 percent of gross income from U.S. sources and maintaining assets with tax bases not materially different from financial book bases. Use of these simplified rules may result in an accounting method change, which would ordinarily require the filing of Form 3115 (Application for Change in Accounting Method). However, the regulations waive this filing requirement if its conditions are met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interest-Free Adjustments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 6205(a)(1) of the Code, if less than the correct amount of tax imposed under the FICA, the RRTA, or the income tax withholding provisions is paid with respect to any payment of wages or compensation, proper adjustments with respect to both the tax and amount to be deducted must be made without interest in such manner and in such times as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe. The proposed amendments would add language to clarify that an interest-free adjustment can be made in certain situations in which the error is ascertained before the appropriate return is filed. The proposed amendments are intended to apply only to situations in which no return was filed because the employer improperly failed to treat its workers as employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Required Distributions from Retirement Plans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR part 1) and the Pension Excise Taxes Regulations (26 CFR part 54) under sections 401, 403, 408, and 4974 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  These amendments are proposed to conform the regulations to sections 1121 and 1852 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (TRA of 1986) (100 Stat. 2464 and 2864), sections 521 and 713 of the Tax Reform Act of 1984 (TRA of 1984) (98 Stat. 865 and 955), sections 242 and 243 of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA) (96 Stat. 521), and section 1404 of the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (SBJPA) 110 Stat. 1791.  The regulations provide guidance on the minimum distribution requirements under section 401(a)(9) for plans qualified under section 401(a).  The rules are incorporated by reference for other retirement plans under section 408(a)(3) and (b)(6) for IRAs, section 403(b)(10) for tax sheltered annuities, and section 457(d) for eligible deferred compensation plans.  Comprehensive proposed regulations under section 401(a)(9) were previously published in 1987.  In 1997, amendments to those proposed regulations were published addressing the limited issue of trusts as designated beneficiaries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Net Gift Treatment--Section 2519</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation section is intended to cover the effect of gift tax recovered by the donor, pursuant to the right of recovery under section 2207A, on the amount of the gift under section 2519 (i.e., whether the transfer is a "net gift"). The section was reserved when the regulations under section 2519 were finalized, because of uncertainty regarding whether section 2207A shifts the liability for the gift tax to the beneficiaries of the transfer. After considering the issue in conjunction with several TAMS and PLRS, we have adopted a position that section 2207A does not shift the liability for the gift tax imposed on a section 2519 transfer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Under IRC Section 4374</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project is intended to amend Treas Reg. section 46.4374-1(a), which deals with an excise tax imposed on foreign insurers or reinsurers.  The existing regulation was published in 1970 and provides that the "tax shall be remitted by the person who makes the payment of the premium to a foreign insurer or reinsurer or to any nonresident agent, solicitor, or broker.  For purposes of this paragraph, the person who makes payment means that resident person who actually transfers the money, check, or its equivalent to the foreign insurer or reinsurer (including transfers to any bank, trust fund, or similar recipient, designated by the foreign insurer or reinsurer), or to any nonresident agent, solicitor, or broker."  In 1976, I.R.C. section 4374 was amended to impose liability on "any person who makes, signs, issues, or sells any of the documents  and instruments subject to the tax, or for whose use or benefit the same are made, signed, issued or sold."  There have been cases recently where a foreign parent corporation, for example, has purchased from a foreign insurer policies covering risks, and for the benefit of, a U.S. subsidiary.  The IRS often has no ability to collect the excise tax on such a policy from the foreign parent, and the U.S. subsidiary has relied on the existing regulation to argue that the IRS may not collect the tax from the subsidiary, because it did not actually pay the premium to the foreign insurer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Capital Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS currently has underway a number of regulatory amendments to its capital standards for savings associations. These amendments implement section 303 of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (CDRIA). CDRIA requires the Federal banking agencies to make their capital rules and other rules more uniform. 

The agencies have jointly issued a proposed rule that would treat recourse obligations and direct credit substitutes consistently and that would vary the risk-based capital requirement for positions in securitized asset transactions according to relative risk exposure; and a proposed rule that would amend regulatory capital standards concerning the treatment of certain residual interests in asset securitizations and other transfers of financial assets.  These rules will be combined at the final rule stage.  

In addition, the agencies issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking developing a simplified capital adequacy framework for small, non-complex institutions.  Based on this ANPR, the agencies plan to issue a proposed rule modifying the capital adequacy framework for domestic institutions that are not subject to the Basel Accord.  Also, the agencies may issue an ANPR or proposed rule addressing the treatment of assets under management in asset securitizations.  Finally, the agencies intend to finalize the proposed rule on risk-based capital standards for claims on securities firms.]]></ABSTRACT>

Subject to certain conditions, these regulations permit institutions to share "other information" with affiliates without becoming consumer reporting agencies (affiliate sharing). The proposed regulations specified that institutions must provide notice and an opportunity to opt-out to consumers before sharing "other information" with their affiliates.

The agencies have analyzed the comments received and are now in the process of developing a revised notice of proposed rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS currently has underway a number of regulatory amendments to its capital standards for savings associations. These amendments implement section 303 of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (CDRIA). CDRIA requires the Federal banking agencies to make their capital rules and other rules more uniform. 

The agencies have jointly issued a proposed rule that would treat recourse obligations and direct credit substitutes consistently and that would vary the risk-based capital requirement for positions in securitized asset transactions according to relative risk exposure; and a proposed rule that would amend regulatory capital standards concerning the treatment of certain residual interests in asset securitizations and other transfers of financial assets.  These rules will be combined at the final rule stage.  

In addition, the agencies issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking developing a simplified capital adequacy framework for small, non-complex institutions.  Based on this ANPR, the agencies plan to issue a proposed rule modifying the capital adequacy framework for domestic institutions that are not subject to the Basel Accord.  Also, the agencies may issue an ANPR or proposed rule addressing the treatment of assets under management in asset securitizations.  Finally, the agencies intend to finalize the proposed rule on risk-based capital standards for claims on securities firms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS has issued an interim final rule: 1) amending its regulations governing repurchases of stock of insured savings associations following a conversion; 2) implementing changes regarding dividend waivers for mutual holding companies; and 3) incorporating changes resulting from the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

OTS has also issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that would implement a comprehensive strategy governing mutual institutions, mutual holding company reorganizations, and the mutual to stock conversion process.

OTS will publish a final rule combining these two rulemakings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC plans to amend 12 CFR part 5 to implement the authority for national banks to merge with one or more of their nonbank subsidiaries or affiliates contained in section 1206 of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000 (AHEOA). The proposal will also amend 12 CFR part 5 by adding a new section setting forth the application and prior approval requirements described in section 1204 of AHEOA for national banks contemplating reorganization as a subsidiary of a bank holding company. In addition, the OCC also plans to amend 12 CFR part 7, to permit national banks to adopt by-laws providing for staggered boards of directors as set forth in section 1205 of AHEOA. The OCC also plans to amend 12 CFR art 34 by revising the rules governing adjustable rate mortgages and to consider revisions related to various consumer protection measures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibition Against Use of Interstate Branches Primarily for Deposit Production</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice of proposed rulemaking invited comment on a rule that would amend regulations implementing section 109 of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 to effectuate the amendment of section 109 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999.  Section 109 prohibits a bank from establishing or acquiring a branch or branches outside of its home state for the purpose of deposit production.  Additionally, section 109 contains guidelines for determining whether a bank is reasonably helping to meet the credit needs of communities served by an out-of-state branch or branches.  The proposed rule amends the section 109 deposit production prohibition to include any bank or branch controlled by an out-of-state bank holding company, including a bank consisting only of a main office.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC amended 12 CFR parts 1, 7, and 23.  The revisions to part 1 incorporate the express authority to underwrite municipal bonds granted to national banks by section 151 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).  The revisions to part 7:  1) clarify the conditions under which a national bank may participate in a bona fide financial literacy program at a school without the school location being deemed a branch of the bank; 2) revise the OCC's regulation governing bank holidays to conform it with the Comptroller's statutory authority to proclaim mandatory bank closings; 3) clarify the scope of the term "NSF" fees for purposes of 12 U.S.C. 85; 4) clarify the OCC's current regulation governing national banks' non-interest charges and fees; and 5) provide that state law applies to a national bank operating subsidiary only to the extent that it applies to the parent national bank.  The revisions to part 23 prescribe a percentage limit on the extent to which a national bank may rely on estimated residual value to recover its costs in personal property leasing arrangements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC has amended the assessment formula it uses to assess independent credit card banks.  A credit card bank is considered independent for purposes of this proposal if it engages primarily in credit card operations and is not affiliated with a full service national bank.  Under the revised rate structure, all credit card banks will continue to be assessed based on balance sheet assets.  However, independent credit card banks will pay an additional assessment to reflect the supervision required of these banks' off-balance sheet activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Board of Veterans&apos; Appeals: Rules of Practice--Appeal Withdrawal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board of Veterans' Appeals proposes removing a restriction in its Rules of Practice (Rule of Practice 204; 38 CFR 20.204) that bars an appellant's representative from withdrawing a Notice of Disagreement or a Substantive Appeal that the appellant filed personally without the appellant's written consent.  VA believes that the restriction, adopted in the early 1960s, is an outdated and unnecessary intrusion into the relationship between appellants and their representatives, which creates needless delay through unnecessary procedural complexity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board of Veterans' Appeals may advance a case on it's docket for earlier consideration for "sufficient cause shown," 38 U.S.C. section 7107(a)(2).  This regulation will expand the regulatory definition of "sufficient cause" in the Board's Rules of Practice to include advanced age.  This will permit the Board, on motion, to expedite consideration of appeals from veterans and dependants, age 75 or more, who may be nearing the end of their life expectancy.  There is now a sizable cohort of veterans of advanced age, particularly surviving combat veterans from World War II and the Korean War.  No other alternatives are available.  This amendment will not entail any risks or costs to the public or to the Government other than the costs normally associated with drafting, Agency review, and publication.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend regulations to specify that the eligibility of veterans' adult children for burial in a national cemetery is only for those who have become permanently incapable of self support before attaining the age of 21 years due to a physical or mental disability. Current regulations do not clearly express this requirement. It also proposes to amend regulations to specify that the eligibility of certain Filipino veterans will be eligible for burial in a National Cemetery.  Certain Filipino veterans of WWII, to include Commonwealth Army veterans and veterans of Recognized Guerilla Forces may be eligible if the veteran was a permanent resident of the U.S. and met other enabling conditions.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule would clarify how existing VAAR clauses relating to construction contracts are to be used, remove obsolete or duplicative materials, update the VAAR regarding certified cost or pricing data, and provide Agency procedures regarding disclosure of the Government cost estimate on construction contracts. The rule would also remove a "guarantee" clause from the VAAR and provide for VA contracting officers to use the FAR "warranty" clause for construction contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

Further, this amendment proposes to add a new part 49 to VA's regulations to bring VA in step with other Federal agencies who have already adopted OMB Circular A-110 as a common rule. The Circular provides for uniform administrative requirements for Federal agencies with grants and agreements with institutions of higher education, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document will amend Department of Veterans Affairs education regulations to provide a new interpretation of when the eligibility period ends for children eligible for Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance. It will implement provisions of the Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000 that affect children's eligibility periods and the effective date of awards under Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance. It will also implement recent opinions of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims that affect eligibility for Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance. It will also make changes to clarify many of these regulations and other changes to make the regulations easier to use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs adjudication regulations to establish presumptive service connection for hepatitis C infection in veterans who were exposed to blood during combat who underwent certain treatment procedures during active duty service. The intended effect of this rule is to ensure that veterans who may have been exposed to the hepatitis C virus during active military service, because they underwent hemodialysis, tranfusion of blood or blood products before January 1, 1993, or solid organ transplant before January 1, 1993, will be service-connected for hepatitis C infection.]]></ABSTRACT>

It incorporates a provision from the adjudication procedures manual, M21-1, not currently addressed in the regulation, to allow for public comment.

The regulation identifies civilian groups and individuals determined to have performed active service based on their service to U.S. Armed Forces.  We propose to add three new groups, under the authority of Public Law No. 95-202, based on the recent decision of the Secretary of the Air Force that the service of these group members constitutes active military service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Diseases Specific to Radiation-Exposed Veterans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend its adjudication regulations concerning presumptive service connection for certain diseases for veterans who participated in radiation-risk activities during active service or while members of reserve components during active duty for training or inactive duty training.  This proposed amendment would add cancers of the bone, brain, colon, lung, and ovary to the list of diseases which may be presumptively service-connected and amend the definition of the term "radiation-risk activity."  The intended effect of this amendment is to ensure that veterans who may have been exposed to radiation during military service have the same burden of proof as civilians exposed to ionizing radiation who may be entitled to compensation for these cancers under comparable Federal statutes.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proposed amendment would also ensure that veterans who may have been exposed to radiation during military service have the same burden of proof as civilians exposed to ionizing radiation who may be entitled to compensation for these cancers under comparable Federal statutes.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 501(a)(1) of title 38, United States Code, provides that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has the authority to promulgate regulations regarding the nature and extent of proof and evidence in order to establish entitlement to veterans' benefits.  Pursuant to this authority, VA proposes to amend 38 CFR 3.309(d)(2) to add bone, brain, colon, lung, and ovarian cancers, which are covered under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act or are covered under the RECA Amendments but are currently not included in the list of diseases in 38 U.S.C. 1112(c)(2) that are presumed to be service-connected for radiation-exposed veterans.  This regulation is not required by statute or court order.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Veterans may establish service connection for these five cancers under 38 U.S.C. 1110 or 1131 or the Veterans' Dioxin and Radiation Exposure Compensation Standards Act, Public Law No. 98-542, 98 Stat. 2725 (1984).  Doing so is difficult because, among other things, it requires sound scientific and medical evidence establishing that it is at least as likely as not the veteran's disease resulted from exposure to radiation in service, based in part on an assessment of the amount of radiation to which a veteran was exposed.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This regulatory amendment will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as they are defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612.  These amendments would not directly affect any small entities.  Only VA beneficiaries could be directly affected.  Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), these amendments are exempt from the initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of sections 603 and 604.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Monetary Allowances for Certain Children of Vietnam Veterans; Identification of Covered Birth Defects</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 401 of the Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000, Public Law 106-419, amended chapter 18 of title 38 United States Code by adding subchapter II authorizing VA to provide certain benefits, including a monthly monetary allowance, to children born with certain birth defects who are the natural children of women veterans who served in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam era.  This document amends existing VA adjudication regulations and adds a new section 3.815 to title 38 Code of Federal Regulations to implement this new authority.  Section 1823 of title 38 United States Code specifies that receipt of this allowance shall not affect the right of the child, or the right of any individual based on the child's relationship to that individual, to receive any other benefit to which the child, or that individual, may be entitled under any law administered by VA, nor will the allowance be considered income or resources in determining eligibility for, or the amount of, benefits under any Federal or federally assisted program.  We propose to amend 38 CFR 3.27, 3.29, 3.31, 3.114, 3.216, 3.261 to 263, 3.272, and 3.275 to reflect this statutory provision as it applies to VA's income-based benefit programs.  The statute states that the birth defects identified may not include: A familial disorder, a birth-related injury, or a fetal or neonatal infirmity with well-established causes.  The regulation will provide non-exclusive lists of included and excluded conditions for benefits.  It also provides criteria to determine which of four levels of monthly monetary payment will be assigned, based on an assessment of the day-to-day functioning of affected individuals or to the extent of disfigurement of the head, face, or neck due to one or more covered birth defects or associated disabilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Veterans and Dependents Education: Topping Up Tuition Assistance and Payment for Licensing and Certification Tests</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 contains a provision that permits a service member to receive Montgomery GI Bill--Active Duty benefits for the difference between the service member's tuition and the portion of the tuition paid under 10 U.S.C. 2007.  Appropriate regulations will be added to implement this provision of law.

The Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act provides that veterans and eligible persons may receive educational assistance to cover the cost of the tests needed to obtain an occupational license or certification.  This improved benefit is available under the Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Educational Assistance Program, the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty and the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program.  Regulations are needed to allow VA to properly implement this new benefit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000 affects the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty and the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve. These include providing an opportunity for some service members to participate in the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty; repeal of the requirement that only the initial period of active duty be considered in determining eligibility for the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty; increasing the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty for those who contribute additional money; and changing the rules for determining when benefits may be paid during the interval between terms.  The regulations governing Montgomery GI Bill will be revised accordingly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its adjudication regulations concerning presumptive service connection for certain diseases.

Under the proposed amendment, VA will add cirrhosis of the liver to the list of diseases for which entitlement to service connection is presumed for former prisoners of war (POWs) interned or detained for at least 30 days.  The intended effect is to make it easier for former POWs to obtain compensation benefits for cirrhosis based on scientific and medical research showing a higher risk of death from cirrhosis in former POWs than in the general population.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations governing approval of courses offered by institutions of higher learning (IHL) with branches in more than one State requires the IHL to maintain administrative capability in each State in which it operates.  The information that the IHL must submit to VA concerning veterans' enrollment must come from each State rather than from a central location.  This regulation became effective before the advent of e-mail or telefacsimile machines.  VA intends to revise the pertinent regulation to allow approval of courses for VA training even if such an IHL does not have administrative capability in each State in which it operates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Enrollment Priority Category Status Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the Veteran's Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996, VA implemented a national enrollment system to manage the delivery of VA hospital and outpatient care.  Veterans are eligible to be enrolled based on the Secretary's determination concerning which of the seven priority categories of veterans to enroll. Section 112 of Public Law No. 106-117, the Veteran's Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act, amended the priority categories to include veterans awarded the Purple Heart in priority category three.  Accordingly, we intend to change our medical regulations at 38 CFR 17.36 to reflect this statutory change.  We further propose to amend VA's Disenrollment requirements set forth under 38 CFR 17.36(d)(4)(iii) to allow priority category 5 veterans enrolled in this category based on their annual income information to remain enrolled.  Currently, under 38 CFR 17.36(d)(4)(iii), a veteran enrolled under paragraphs (d)(2) or (d)(3) will be disenrolled if a VA network or facility director, or the Chief Network Officer, determines that a veteran has been enrolled based on inclusion in priority category 5, the veteran was sent by mail a VA Form 10-1-EZ, and the veteran failed to return the completed form to the address on the return envelop within 60 days from receipt of the form.  We propose to continue their enrollment but only after the veteran agrees to co-pay requirements set forth under 38 U.S.C. 1710(f) and 1710(g).  We also propose to amend the enrollment application form to reflect these changes and to add to the form instructions, a consent to release information, a statement regarding Paperwork Reduction Act changes are necessary to reflect statutory requirements, and to provide information to the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Payment for Non-VA Medical Services and Inpatient Care Provided at Non-VA Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical regulations to establish a payment methodology for inpatient care and outpatient medical services provided to eligible VA beneficiaries at non-VA facilities.  It is proposed that when there is an amount already calculated under the Medicare Payment Systems for services, VA would pay the lesser of the actual billed charge, an amount negotiated with the provider or the provider's agent, or the calculated amount.  It appears that the adoption of the proposal would help ensure that amounts paid for these services would better reflect the resource inputs used to furnish a service and better reflect the true value of services.  Further, it is proposed that the regulations would continue to require that VA payment constitute payment in full.  In our view, this is required by statute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board of Veterans' Appeals is amending its appeals regulations and Rules of Practice to clarify that a "Supplemental Statement of the Case" (SSOC) is to be used only to inform an appellant of material changes in, or additions to, the information included in the Statement of the Case (SOC) or a prior SSOC.  The prior rule permitted new issues to be added to the SOC, resulting in confusion for appellants, regional offices, and the Board as to what issues were actually on appeal.  Since 1966, the manual provisions governing the regional office have prohibited using an SSOC to reply to new issues.  This rule will conform the Board's rules with agency practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Appeals Regulations: Title for Members of the Board of Veterans Appeals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board of Veterans' Appeals proposes to amend its appeals regulations to provide that a Member of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) may also be known as a "Veteran Law Judge." This duplicates, in proposed rule format, a final rule previously published in the Federal Register on September 14, 2000 (65 FR 55461).  Individuals deciding appeals in other parts of the Federal Government are typically known as "judges"; e.g., "administrative law judges" and "administrative judges."  Giving Board Members the title of "veteran law judges" would provide a more accurate title than "member" and would enhance confidence in the system through recognition that appeals are being adjudicated by legal professionals.]]></ABSTRACT>

This will also allow the Board to consider additional evidence without having to refer the evidence to the agency of original jurisdiction for initial consideration and without having to obtain the appellant's waiver.  By reducing the number of appeals remanded, VA intends to shorten appeal processing time and to reduce the backlog of claims awaiting decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation--Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Health Care Resources</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[VA withdrew the proposed rule concerning simplified acquisition procedures for health care resources published in the Federal Register on November 9, 1998 (63 FR 60256), and promulgated a new proposed rule concerning simplified acquisition procedures for health care resources. The new proposed rule document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) to establish simplified procedures for the competitive acquisition of health care resources, consisting of commercial services or the use of medical equipment or space, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8151-8153. Public Law 104-262, the Veterans' Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996, authorized VA to prescribe simplified procedures for the procurement of health care resources. The rule prescribes those procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Definition of Net Value and Revised Criteria for Pre-Foreclosure Debt Waivers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs is proposing to amend its loan guaranty regulations to revise the definition of property improvements for purposes of determining the net value of a foreclosed property and to clarify VA's position on pre-foreclosure debt waivers for liable veterans in cases involving transferee defaults. These changes will account for actual property appraisal procedures and will clarify Agency policy on pre-foreclosure debt waivers. Note: Because the original Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was published on September 22, 1993 (58 FR 49251), VA republished the NPRM to provide for a new notice and comment period before proceeding with a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Veterans are required by statute to apply for any benefit the Department of Veterans Affairs administers. This rule will describe the information to be included in an application for educational assistance for the pursuit of flight training. VA believes that, in order to comply with various statutory requirements connected with the educational programs VA administers, flight schools with courses approved for VA training will have to keep some records beyond those required by the Federal Aviation Administration. This rule will state those recordkeeping requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to change its regulations by prohibiting advertisements or solicitations from lenders that falsely state or imply that they were issued by or at the direction of VA or any other entity of the United States. This change would also provide that each written advertisement or solicitation from a private lender concerning VA-guaranteed loans include a statement indicating that the lender is a private lender and that the lender does not have an exclusive right to make loans guaranteed by VA. These provisions appear to be necessary to ensure that lenders do not provide misleading information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulations on the proof of stressor in claims for service connection of post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from personal assault. It provides that alternative evidence other than the veteran's military records may constitute credible supporting evidence of the stressor. It also implements decisions by the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, which state that VA Adjudication Procedure Manual provisions on this issue are the equivalent of regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exclusion From Countable Income of Expenses Paid for Veteran&apos;s Last Illness Subsequent to Veteran&apos;s Death but Prior to Date of Death Pension Entitlement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its adjudication regulations governing exclusion of expenses of the veteran's last illness, burial, and just debts from countable income for death pension purposes.  This amendment eliminates the prohibition against reducing countable income by the amount of these expenses that the surviving spouse paid after the date of death but prior to the date of his or her entitlement.  In order to make the necessary changes, VA is removing the last sentence of 38 CFR 3.272(h), which currently provides that the amount of expenses of the veteran's last illness, burial, and just debts "paid subsequent to death but prior to date of entitlement are not deductible."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Claims Based on Exposure to Ionizing Radiation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations governing the establishment of service connection for polycythemia vera due to radiation exposure in service.  The amendment clarifies that although VA does not consider polycythemia vera to be a "radiogenic disease" under the regulations, a veteran is not precluded from claiming service connection for this condition on a direct-incurrence basis due to exposure to ionizing radiation in service.  VA historically treated the list of radiogenic diseases in 38 CFR 3.311 as an exclusive list of generally denied service connection for any disease not on the list.  However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Combee v. Brown, 34 F.3d 1039 (Fed. Cir. 1994), held that Public Law 98-542 did not authorize VA to establish entitlement to direct service connection under section 3.311.  VA is showing polycythemia vera may be induced by exposure to ionizing radiation. VA will obtain dose estimates, forward the claim for review by the Under Secretary for Benefits, and request an advisory medical opinion from the Under Secretary for Health under the provisions of section 3.311.]]></ABSTRACT>

After consultation with the Department of Education, the Department of Defense has concluded that the rates for the 2001-02 academic year should be increased by 4.7 percent over the rates payable for the 2000-01 academic year.  The regulations dealing with these rates will be amended accordingly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the "Medical" regulations concerning the criteria for provision of drugs and medicines by non-VA physicians for certain veterans. It is our view that the statutory framework inherently requires that the drugs provided be suitable; i.e., FDA-approved, high quality, and best value. In this regard, we have established a list of suitable drugs and medicines in the VA national formulary. Also, we have established a mechanism for allowing the provision of drugs and medicines not listed in the formulary. These changes are needed to ensure that VA provides only those drugs and medicines intended to be provided under the statutory authority. Also, this document makes nonsubstantive changes for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary duplication.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the VA medical regulations to codify VA policy regarding advance health care planning. The rule sets forth a mechanism for the use of written advance directives; i.e., a VA living will, a VA durable power of attorney for health care, and a State-authorized advance directive. The rule also sets forth a mechanism for honoring verbal or nonverbal instructions from a patient when the patient is admitted to care when critically ill and loss of capacity may be imminent and the patient is not physically able to sign an advance directive form or the appropriate form is not readily available. This is intended to help ensure that VA acts in compliance with patients' wishes concerning future health care.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs medical regulations concerning the provision of drugs and medicines prescribed by non-VA physicians for certain veterans who are permanently housebound or in need of regular aid and attendance. The regulations are amended to allow prescriptions to be filled by non-VA pharmacies in State homes under contract with VA for filling prescriptions for patients in State homes. This is consistent with VA's special relationship with State homes. It will eliminate duplication in services and will help improve timeliness for filling prescriptions in State homes.]]></ABSTRACT>

Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 and the Veterans' Survivor Benefits Improvement Act of 2001.  These changes extend CHAMPVA eligibility to persons age 65 and over who would have otherwise lost their CHAMPVA eligibility due to attainment of entitlement to hospital insurance benefits under Medicare Part A.  This rule also implements coverage of physical examinations required in connection with school enrollment for beneficiaries through age 17 and reduces the catastrophic cap for CHAMPVA dependents and survivors for each calendar year.  These regulatory changes implement the statutory provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 7809 of title 38 authorizes the Veterans Canteen Service to operate child care centers at VA facilities. However, child care centers will be established under 38 U.S.C. section 8122 (VA Leasing Authority), 40 U.S.C. section 490b (Trible Amendment), and 38 U.S.C. section 8161 et seq. (Enhanced-Use Leasing Authority), under the direction of the Chief Network Officer. The establishment of child care centers will be based on demand for care and to the extent that such operation is practical and in the best interest of VA. The centers will be available for children of VA employees and, to the extent space is available, to the children of employees of other Federal agencies and children of employees of institutions affiliated with the VA, where consistent with law. Also, these centers should provide an incentive for personnel recruitment. VA Manual provisions will prescribe the requirements and standards for the operation of VA child care centers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Veterans' Benefits Act of 1992 extended the termination date for the program of vocational training for certain pensioners through December 31, 1995, and made permanent the programs protecting health care benefits for pensioners who lose their benefits due to income from work or training and the special counseling and employment services program for veterans with total disability ratings because of individual unemployability. In addition, the law authorizes a 10 percent increase in subsistence allowance for participants in the vocational rehabilitation program and extends eligibility for vocational rehabilitation to veterans with service-connected disability of 10 percent under certain conditions. The change also includes revisions to implement regulatory reform.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Loan Guaranty: Revision to VA Work Rules for Credit Scored Loans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to change its regulations on the servicing requirements for loan holders who utilize industry risk management models as early indicators of loans in danger of default.  These models have proven to be effective in helping loan holders determine the risk of loans becoming seriously delinquent. This change will relax VA's servicing requirements for lower risk loans, so that loan holders can allocate their resources to higher risk loans which need more attention. The change should enable holders and VA to achieve fewer losses with the same resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

This Federal Policy requires adherence to certain requirements by Federal agencies or institutions receiving Federal support for research activities involving human subjects. The Federal Policy has three cornerstones: Review of any research involving human subjects by an impartial institutional review board (IRB); informed consent must be obtained from all research subjects; and formal, written assurance of institutional compliance with the Policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 101-237, the Veterans Home Loan Indemnity and Restructuring Act of 1989, amended 38 U.S.C. 3732(a) to require holders of VA-guaranteed loans that are in default to notify VA if they refuse a partial payment of the amount owed when submitted by the veteran borrower. Notification may include a statement as to the circumstances of the default and the reason for the holder's refusal; these regulations will also set out the changed requirements with regard to establishing a veteran's liability to the Government in the event of foreclosure of a VA-guaranteed loan. In the past, veterans were liable if their VA loan foreclosed. Public Law 101-257 liability will only be established in the event of fraud, misrepresentation, or bad faith.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking intends to amend VA's due process regulation to allow reporting requirements to be met and allow benefit modifications to be based on information provided orally or by electronic means (e-mail, facsimile, or other means).  This should help both beneficiaries and VA since it would allow benefit modifications to be done more quickly and reduce overpayments.  It would also allow those receiving pension or parents' DIC to report promptly the deaths of family members, since this could affect entitlement to benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The law provides that rates of subsistence allowance and educational assistance payable under the Educational Assistance test program shall be adjusted annually by the Secretary of Defense based upon the average actual cost of attendance at public institutions of higher education in the 12-month period since the rates were last adjusted.  After consultation with the Department of Education, the Department of Defense has concluded that the rates for the 2000-2001 academic year should be increased by 4 percent over the rates payable for the 1999-2000 academic year.  The regulations dealing with these rate were amended accordingly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disease Associated With Exposure to Certain Herbicide Agents: Type 2 Diabetes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs is amending its adjudication regulations concerning presumptive service connection for certain diseases for which there is no record during service.  This proposed amendment is necessary to implement a decision of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, under the authority granted by the Agent Orange Act of 1991, that there is a positive association between exposure to herbicides used in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam era and the subsequent development of Type 2 diabetes.  The intended effect of this proposed amendment is to establish presumptive service connection for that condition based on herbicide exposure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Jersey Gold Track Project XL Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Gold Track Program is a crucial part of NJDEP's efforts to create a State-run tiered performance-based program. Currently, facilities may join NJDEP's Silver Track Program, which is a lower-level tier that provides recognition for commitments to a certain level of environmental enhancement. Gold Track expands upon these environmental commitments, and offers proportionally greater recognition, as well as actual federal regulatory flexibility to participating facilities. NJDEP is partnering with EPA in the Gold Track effort under the XL program, so as to be able to offer federal regulatory flexibility to Gold Track participants.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rules provide some basic air quality protection similar to what the state implementation plans (SIPs) require for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. These rules are needed to establish a level playing field and create basic federally enforceable rules under the Clean Air Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Utilization of Small, Minority and Women&apos;s Business Enterprises in Procurement Under Assistance Agreements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulation will codify revisions to the Agency's program for the utilization of Small, Minority and Women's Business Enterprises in procurements under assistance agreements (i.e., grants and cooperative agreements awarded by EPA as well as grants and cooperative agreements awarded by other agencies under interagency agreements with EPA). The revisions are necessary to ensure consistency with the Supreme Court's decision in Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena, 115 S.Ct. 2097 (1995), and were identified as part of the Clinton Administration's review of affirmative action programs. They include: (1) placing greater emphasis on requiring assistance agreement recipients to submit documentation supporting proposed fair share procurement objectives for Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women's Business Enterprises (WBEs) based on the availability of qualified MBEs and WBEs in the relevant geographic market; (2) authorizing or requiring recipients and their prime contractors to take reasonable race/gender-conscious measures (e.g., bidding credits) in the event that race/gender-neutral efforts prove inadequate to meet fair share objectives; and (3) administering statutory MBE/WBE objectives as a national goal, allowing smaller or larger fair share objectives for particular grants or cooperative agreements based on the availability standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this action is to develop regulations for: (1) the environmental impact assessment of nongovernmental activities, including tourism, for which the United States is required to give advance notice under paragraph 5 of Article VII of the Antarctic Treaty and (2) coordination of the review of information regarding environmental impact assessment received by the United States from other parties under the Protocol on Environmental Protection. The Office of Federal Activities (OECA/OFA) will use the decisionmaking process of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to analyze the environmental setting; the types of nongovernmental activities, including tourism, to be addressed by the regulations; their potential for impact; and the alternatives available under rulemaking for environmental impact assessments for nongovernmental activities. An interim final rule, 40 CFR part 8, promulgated April 30, 1997, and on July 15, 1998 extended through the 2000-2001 austral summer, will be replaced by a final rule. The interim final rule was effective immediately so that the U.S. could ratify the Protocol and implement its obligations under the Protocol as soon as it entered into force. These rules are being developed in coordination with other Federal agencies with specific interests in and expertise with Antarctica including the Department of State, National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Mammal Commission, Department of Justice, and the Council on Environmental Quality.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed revision is necessary to clarify and update EPA's National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulation. The revision would clarify Agency responsibilities for: Congressionally funded special appropriation projects and EPA-funded grant programs. The revision would clarify public involvement procedures and organization responsibilities. The proposal would revise the list of actions which are categorically excluded from analyses. The revision is also needed to incorporate a number of Executive orders and other cross-cutting requirements into the NEPA process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is preparing a comprehensive revision of the Rules of Practice governing the conduct of licensing adjudications under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The existing Rules of Practice were originally promulgated by EPA in 1973. In the subsequent 19 years, Congress has substantially amended FIFRA, creating a number of additional types of licensing adjudications which are not expressly provided for in the existing Rules of Practice. In order to include provisions tailored to these new types of proceedings, and to incorporate the standard practices which have evolved and the precedents which have been established since these rules were first promulgated, EPA intends to comprehensively revise the FIFRA Rules of Practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Handicap, and Age in Programs and Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of program or activity and program to title VI and added a definition of program or activity to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of program or activity and program into the Department's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Department's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act Amendments give EPA the authority to issue on-the-spot field citations for minor violations of the Clean Air Act, with penalties of up to $5,000 per day of violation. Section 113(d) of the Act requires the field citation program to be implemented through regulations which provide the informal hearing procedures. These hearing procedures are not required to be as rigorous as those imposed by the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), but nevertheless must provide due process. Agency guidance providing appropriate penalties for specific minor violations will be prepared for EPA employees and made available to the regulated community. Training on the issuance of field citations will also be developed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consolidation of Good Laboratory Practice Standards (GLPS) Regulations Currently Under TSCA and FIFRA Into One Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 29, 1983, EPA published Good Laboratory Practice Standards (GLPS) regulations intended to help ensure data integrity for studies required to support marketing and research permits under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). These rules were last amended on August 17, 1989. GLPS data integrity measures can be applied to a wide variety of scientific studies. Although the TSCA and FIFRA GLPS contain identical provisions, they were published as separate rules to account for statutory and program differences between TSCA and FIFRA, such as differences in records retention requirements. EPA believes it will be able to address the differences between TSCA and FIFRA, such as differences in records retention requirements. EPA believes it will be able to address the differences of those programs without duplicating the entire GLP standard in two places. 

This action is intended to consolidate EPA's GLPS into one rule. Program-specific requirements will be addressed in either separate sections of the consolidated rule, or in separate rules as is determined appropriate. This action is not intended to change the requirements, applicability, or enforceability of GLPS with respect to any statute. 

EPA has received comments from stakeholders regarding the understandability of many aspects of the GLPS, and over the years has issued numerous clarifications. EPA believes that some clarifications, if included directly in the rule, would make the rule easier to understand and enhance compliance. Therefore, EPA intends to include such clarifications where appropriate in this rulemaking. Finally, in the interest of maintaining consistency between EPA's and Food and Drug Administration's regulations, EPA will determine any modifications that have occurred to the FDA GLP rule and consider incorporation of such changes into the EPA rule. This action will serve to reduce the total regulatory text in the Code of Federal Regulations by an estimated 10 pages, by consolidating 23 pages of text to approximately 13. In the process it will provide a generic GLP rule that may be used by other programs in the Agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRI; Review of Chemicals on the Original TRI List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[When TRI was established by Congress in 1986, the statutory language placed 309 chemicals and 20 categories of chemicals on the TRI list; that is referred to as the original TRI list. The chemicals on the original list were taken from two existing lists of toxic substances: the Maryland Chemical Inventory Report List of Toxic or Hazardous Substances, and the New Jersey Environmental Hazardous Substances list. This action constitutes the first systematic review of toxicology and environmental data for all the chemicals on the original TRI list to determine whether data for those chemicals conform with the statutory criteria for listing of chemicals on TRI. Chemicals for which data do not meet the statutory criteria will be delisted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRI; Revisions to the Otherwise Use Activity Exemptions and the Coal Extraction Activities Exemption</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) requires reporting from facilities which manufacture or process at least 25,000 pounds of a listed chemical, or otherwise use 10,000 pounds of a listed chemical. In determining amounts of listed chemicals that are manufactured, processed or otherwise used, facilities may be entitled to consider specific exemptions from reporting. EPA is presently reviewing a group of these exemptions. The categories of exemptions presently being reconsidered by EPA are the structural component exemption, the routine janitorial and facility grounds maintenance exemption, the personal use exemption, and the motor vehicle maintenance exemption. Also known as the otherwise use exemptions because they are limited to otherwise use activities, these exemptions are expressly provided for at 40 CFR 372.38(c). EPA is also considering changes to the coal mining extraction activities exemption provided for at 40 CFR 372.38(g).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRI: APA Petition-EPCRA 313 Definition of Overburden as It Relates to the Mining Industry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulatory definition for EPCRA section 313 defines overburden to mean any unconsolidated material that overlies a deposit of useful material or ores. It does not include any portion of ore or waste rock. Overburden generally lacks any recoverable materials and contains only trace amounts of EPCRA section 313 chemicals. Under section 313, all activities related to overburden are exempt from threshold determinations and release and other waste management calculations because overburden contains TRI chemicals in negligible amounts and reporting is unlikely to provide the public with valuable information. On December 22, 1998, the National Mining Association (NMA) petitioned EPA, pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) to change the current EPCRA 313 definition of overburden to include both consolidated material and unconsolidated material. By making such a change, consolidated material that overlies an ore deposit would be eligible for the overburden exemption (i.e., overburden generally lacks any recoverable minerals and contains only trace amounts of EPCRA section 313 chemicals). NMA asserts that EPA's definition of overburden is inconsistent with that of industry. NMA considers overburden to be all material, both consolidated and unconsolidated, that overlies an ore deposit of useful material and must be removed to allow access to ore deposit.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking initates the conversion from TRI Reporting using Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes to TRI Reporting using NAICS codes. The TRI Program will convert to NAICS without producing any changes in the facilities that are now subject to TRI reporting.

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarify TRI Reporting Obligations Under EPCRA Section 313 for the Metal Mining Activities of Extraction and Beneficiation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) currently requires reporting from metal mining facilities if they manufacture or process 25,000 pounds or more of a listed chemical or otherwise use 10,000 pounds or more of a listed chemical. These mining facilities engage in the removal of naturally occurring materials from the earth. EPA had considered naturally occurring materials to be manufactured by natural processes. A recent court order set aside EPA?s interpretation of manufacture stating that naturally occurring ores can not be manufactured within the meaning of EPCRA section 313. EPA is considering clarifying how the definitions of manufacturing and processing under EPCRA section 313 apply to the mining sector processes of extraction and beneficiation. In this rule, EPA is also planning to review the de minimis exemption. This action will not affect the coal extraction activities exemption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, provide procedures for handling and disclosing information claimed as confidential business information (CBI). Although the current regulations have succeeded in protecting CBI, changes in Agency workload, practice, and statutory authority have made it difficult to handle CBI activities as expeditiously as desired. EPA is examining its CBI regulations to determine what changes are needed to make the regulations as efficient and effective as possible. Provision 40 CFR 2.205(c), which automatically protects CBI substantiations claimed as confidential, is being examined individually and as part of the CBI regulations as a whole.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes revisions to EPA's regulations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The FOIA regulations have been streamlined and written in plain English wherever possible. These revisions reflect the principles established by President Clinton and Attorney General Reno in their FOIA Policy Memoranda of October 4, 1993. They also reflect developments in the case law and include updated cost figures for calculating and charging fees. In addition, the proposed revisions include provisions implementing the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996. These revisions will simplify and expedite responses to FOIA requests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Cross-Media Electronic Reporting (ER) and Recordkeeping Rule will provide a uniform legal framework for paperless electronic reporting and recordkeeping, including electronic signature/ certification, across EPA's environmental compliance programs. The rule will remove current legal requirements for paper and provide for mechanisms to assure the validity and authenticity of electronic documents and associated electronic signatures, whether transmitted as reports or maintained as records. This rule is important because of the Government Paperwork Elimination Act of 1998 requirements and the Administrator's Reinventing Environmental Information (REI) Action Plan goal of universal ER availability by 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPA is required by the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) of 1998 to provide electronic reporting and recordkeeping as an option to its regulated community by 2003. To meet this deadline and comply with GPEA, the framework for electronic reporting must be in place by that time.  The CROMERR rule would establish a framework to remove obstacles to electronic reporting and recordkeeping under most EPA regulations. Electronic government is also a capstone of the President's Management Agenda.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[(1) Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) of 1998. GPEA requires Federal agencies to provide electronic reporting and recordkeeping to its regulated community by 2003.
(2) Electronic Signature National and Global Commerce Act (ESIGN), June 30, 2000.  This law eliminates legal barriers to the use of electronic technology to form and sign contracts, collect and store documents, and send and receive notices and disclosures. ESIGN applies broadly to Federal statutes and regulations governing private sector (including business-to-business and business-to-consumer) activities. In general, it does not cover activities that are primarily governmental, which are governed by GPEA. ESIGN begins to take effect on October 1, 2000.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Two alternatives to an EPA cross-media rule that applies to most compliance reports under 40 CFR, would include: (1) a business-as-usual approach to electronic recordkeeping with additional rulemaking to cover electronic reporting; or (2) individual rulemakings by each of the program offices.  EPA's past experience with such rulemakings has demonstrated that such a course of action may be less effective in bringing EPA into compliance with GPEA by the 2003 deadline.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRI; Chemical Expansion; Finalization of Deferred Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 30, 1994, EPA added 286 chemicals and chemical categories to the EPCRA section 313 list, including 39 chemicals as part of two delineated categories. Each chemical and chemical category was found to meet the statutory criteria described in EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(A) to (C). At this time, EPA deferred final action on 40 chemicals and one chemical category until a later date. These were deferred because the comments received on them raised difficult technical or policy issues which required additional time to address. EPA chose not to delay final action on the 286 chemicals and chemical categories because of the additional time needed to address the issues surrounding the smaller group of 40 chemicals and one chemical category; rather, EPA believed it to be in the spirit of community right-to-know to proceed with the final rulemaking of the additional chemicals and chemical categories.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6607(b) of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA) (Pub. L. 101-508) requires the addition of several data elements to the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI) reporting requirements as promulgated under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) (Pub. L. 99-499). Section 313 of EPCRA requires owners or operators of certain facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals to annually report their releases of these chemicals to each environmental medium. The PPA mandates that section 313 covered facilities also report on source reduction and recycling activities relating to the toxic chemicals beginning with the 1991 reporting year. Since 1991 covered facilities have been providing this information to EPA in section 8, Source Reduction and Recycling Activities, of EPA Form R. On September 25, 1991 (56 FR 48475), EPA proposed regulations which would provide definitions and instructions for reporting the PPA data elements on the EPA Form R. In this action, EPA will amend certain aspects of the September 25, 1991, proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this rule is to revise the Agency's conflict of interest (COI) acquisition regulations. The specific revisions involve more stringent requirements for submission of relevant information from Agency contractors and potential contractors regarding their relationships with parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, and sister companies. Current Agency regulations do not require the submission of this level of information. Receipt and evaluation of this information is critical in order for the Agency to decide whether or not COI situations exist and how they are to be handled. This revised rule will also codify several COI clauses that have been developed since the issuance of the previous rule in 1994.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Changes to Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension Common Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Periodically OMB amends the Governmentwide common rule for suspension and debarment of contractors and assistance participants who threaten the integrity of Federal programs because of criminal misconduct or poor performance. All agencies must issue changes to their individual codified versions to conform to the common rule. Recently, the Interagency Suspension and Debarment Coordinating Committee prepared recommendations for comprehensive changes to the common rule to conform to changes made in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as a result of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA). In addition, several other proposals to improve or change the rule were recommended by various agencies. In December 1996, OMB declined to implement the changes at that time due to differences with some agencies about some changes unrelated to those occasioned by FASA. 

Among other things, FASA replaced the small purchase threshold ($25,000) with the simplified acquisition amount ($100,000). That change unintentionally exposed certain EPA programs to participation by contractors who may have been debarred for serious misconduct already. OMB has agreed to permit agencies to amend the coverage section of their individual agency rules to reduce or eliminate exposure to suspended or debarred persons. 

EPA intends to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 40 CFR 32.110 to reduce EPA exposure to such consequences.]]></ABSTRACT>

Because the revised FAR offers choices in implementation, each agency must communicate with its vendor community its choices. This rule will let our vendor community know that EPA will require the use of FAR Clause 52.232-34, Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer (Non-CCR), as prescribed in FAR 32.1105(a)(2). Within the clause, under (c) the payment office shall be inserted as the prescribed designated office. Further inserted shall be that the required EFT information shall be provided no later than 15 days prior to submission of the first request for payment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Drinking Water: Regulatory Determinations Regarding Contaminants on the Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires EPA to publish a list of non-regulated contaminants every five years, which may warrant regulation due to their health effects and their potential for occurrence in public water systems (PWSs). The first list, called the Contaminant Candidate List (CCL), was published in the Federal Register on March 2, 1998 (63 FR 10274). When establishing the 1998 CCL, EPA divided the contaminants among three main categories: 1) contaminants which are priorities for additional research; 2) contaminants which need additional occurrence data; and 3) contaminants which are priorities for consideration for rulemaking. These contaminants are collectively referred to as the Regulatory Determination Priority contaminants. In addition to publishing the drinking water CCL, the SDWA also requires the Agency to select five or more contaminants from the CCL and determine, by August 2001, whether to regulate these contaminants with a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR). The Regulatory Determination Priority category is the list of contaminants from which the Agency will determine whether or not regulations are necessary. There are currently nine contaminants that have sufficient scientific information to make regulatory determinations: Acanthamoeba; Aldrin; Dieldrin; Hexachlorobutadiene; Manganese; Metribuzin Napthalene; Sodium; and Sulfate. In order make a decision whether or not to develop a NPDWR for a contaminant, the SDWA requires three statutory tests be met: (1) the contaminant may have an adverse effect on the health of persons; (2) the contaminant is known to occur or there is a substantial likelihood that the contaminant will occur in public water systems with a frequency and at levels of public health concern; and (3) in the sole judgment of the Administrator, regulation of the contaminant presents a meaningful opportunity for health risk reduction for persons served by public water systems. Using these three statutory tests to make regulatory decisions, there are three possible outcomes: (1) regulate the contaminant with a NPDWR; (2) develop guidance (e.g., Health or Consumer Advisory); or (3) determine no regulatory action is necessary. Once a regulatory decision is made, the contaminant is removed from the CCL.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>6-Year Review of Existing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires EPA to review and revise, if appropriate, all National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) no less frequently than once every six years. According to SDWA, any revisions of drinking water regulations must maintain, or increase, the level of public health protection provided; however, EPA may identify regulatory changes that will streamline or reduce existing requirements without lessening the level of public health protection. As a part of this action, EPA will do two things: (1) develop an overall protocol for conducting each six year review; and (2) review the chemical contaminants (with the exception of arsenic which is being revised and atrazine which is being reviewed on an accelerated schedule for which NPDWRS were promulgated prior to 1996). No new requirements will be imposed by this action. The purpose of the review is to determine whether new data, technology, or other factors exist that justify revisions to existing NPDWRs. The outcome of each review will be a Federal Register notice making available the results of the Agency?s review and a rulemaking schedule for the regulations the Agency believes are appropriate candidates for revision at this time. EPA may decide that any of the following need to be revised: maximum contaminant level goals, maximum contaminant levels, analytical methods, monitoring, treatment, recordkeeping and reporting requirements. EPA plans extensive stakeholder outreach and consultation in the development of the protocol and throughout the review process.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The review of each existing NPDWR is necessary to determine whether there are more current data, since the NPDWR was promulgated, that suggest a regulatory revision may be appropriate to maintain, or improve, the level of public health protection. Data considered as a part of the review include changes in risk assessment, changes in analytical feasibility (where appropriate), changes in treatment feasibility, other issues that may be relevant to the specific NPDWR, and occurrence and exposure. NPDWRs identified as candidates for revision will be those where the review suggests a regulatory revision will significantly improve public health protection or significantly reduce costs while at least maintaining the current level of public health protection.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 1412(b)(9) of the SDWA, as amended in 1996, requires that the Administrator shall, not less often than every 6 years, review and revise, as appropriate, each primary drinking water regulation. SDWA also mandates that any revision maintain, or provide for greater, protection of the health of persons.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The review ends with a decision by EPA that the NPDWR is, or is not, a candidate for regulatory revision at this time. NPDWRs may be eliminated from further consideration for regulatory revision at this time for one or more of the following reasons: (1) no data were identified that suggest the need for regulatory revision; (2) some potential changes were identified but are likely to result in little or no improvement in public health protection or cost savings; (3) an update of the risk assessment is in process or planned for the near future; or (4) the review identified significant data gaps or research needs that need to be addressed to determine the appropriateness of any regulatory revision. EPA will determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether to initiate activity to address these data gaps/research needs. Otherwise, EPA does not plan any further review/revision of these NPDWRs until the next review cycle. If EPA identifies the NPDWR as a candidate for revision, the Agency will begin the rulemaking process. The first part of this process will be to perform all of the analyses required to consider alternative regulatory options and to develop a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for public comment. If the results of these analyses continue to suggest a regulatory revision is appropriate, and after taking the public comments received into consideration, EPA will promulgate regulatory revisions to the NPDWR.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA is not performing detailed cost and benefit analyses during the review phase because such analyses are premature until the Agency has identified specific regulatory options. EPA will conduct the cost and benefit analyses as a part of the rulemaking phase for those NPDWRs identified as potential candidates for revision.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[As a part of the review, EPA is identifying any relative source contribution assumptions that may need further evaluation and factoring this consideration into the decision whether or not to designate the NDPWR as a candidate for regulatory revision. For those NPDWRs that EPA identifies as candidates for revision, the Agency will evaluate relative source contribution assumptions in more detail as a part of the rulemaking phase. Therefore, no statement of the magnitude of the risk, relative to other risks within EPA's jurisdiction, can be made during the review phase.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The effluent guidelines will apply to construction activities associated with new development, as well as to those associated with re-development activities. The regulations will address storm water runoff from construction sites during the active phase of construction, as well as post-construction runoff. Construction activity is a major source of sediment and other pollutants discharged to the nation's waters. Industries potentially affected by this rulemaking include land developers, home builders, builders of commercial and industrial property, and other private and public sector construction site owners and operators. EPA will develop design criteria for erosion and sediment controls and storm water best management practices (BMPs). These requirements will be implemented in NPDES storm water permits issued to construction site owners and operators.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The 1998 National Water Quality Inventory Report to Congress indicates that 35 percent of assessed stream miles are not supporting their designated use.  Siltation contributes to 38 percent of reported water quality problems in impaired rivers and streams. Construction and development projects contribute to stream impairment, because erosion and sediment controls (ESC) are not properly designed for active construction projects. The frequency of performance failure for ESCs is high due to inappropriate application, improper sizing, and lack of maintenance. For post construction projects, permanent hydromodification degrades 20 percent of the impaired river miles.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Clean Water Act authorizes EPA to establish effluent limitations guidelines and standards to limit the pollutants discharged from point sources. In addition, EPA is bound by a provision in a consent decree entered in settlement of Natural Resources Defense Council et al. v. Reilly (D.D.C. No.89-2980) to propose regulations for this industry by March 31, 2002.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Clean Water Act directs EPA to establish a technology basis for the effluent guidelines. Limitations are based on the performance of specific technology levels, such as the best available technology economically achievable. EPA is considering a range of pollution control technologies and is also considering construction site size exemptions to reduce the impact on small dischargers.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA expects effluent reduction benefits from more than 20,000 construction projects each year. The types of benefits associated with the effluent guidelines for construction and development involve improvements to surface water quality. The benefits from the guidelines will occur from improved control over stormwater and sediment discharged from construction sites. In addition, the guidelines will contribute to a reduction in stream bank erosion, the source of significant downstream sedimentation, flooding, and habitat destruction. The costs associated with this regulation will include capital costs to install best management practices (BMP) for active and post construction controls.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[EPA estimates that 2.2 million acres of agricultural and forest are developed each year for residential and nonresidential projects. The active construction processes require land clearing and grading that contribute to stormwater and sediment discharges. The impervious surfaces that are created within developed watersheds increase the stormwater volume and velocity and accelerate stream bank erosion and downstream sedimentation.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is focusing new efforts to help reduce nutrient loadings from commercial agricultural and industrial operations nationwide. Currently, there are no Federal technology-based standards for aquatic animal production facilities, which are part of the aquaculture industry. This action is a new effort to develop pollutant controls in the form of nationally applicable discharge standards for commercial and public aquaculture operations. 

In assessments of surface water quality, States most frequently cite siltation, nutrients, and pathogens as the major cause of water quality impairment. With the growth of the aquaculture industry, and inconsistent state regulatory oversight, EPA will examine available technologies for the control of pollutants, primarily nutrients. This action was formerly titled Aquaculture.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Meat Products Point Source Category (Revisions)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is revising effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the Meat Products Point Source Category. The current regulations, at 40 CFR 432, are more than 20 years old and are limited to a few conventional pollutants. Recent concerns about nutrient discharges from these facilities might be resolved by additional effluent limitations. In particular, the current regulations do not address ammonia nitrogen for red meat slaughterhouses/packinghouses (subparts A to D). Nutrients are a significant remaining water quality problem for impaired streams. 

Revisions to the current regulations will also include effluent limitations for poultry processing, which is not currently covered by any effluent guideline.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Water Quality Standards for Alabama--Phase II</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the CWA, States have primary authority in developing water quality standards for waters within their jurisdiction. EPA maintains oversight authority in that States must submit their water quality standards to EPA for review and approval or disapproval. If a State's water quality standards are not consistent with the requirements of the CWA and its supporting regulations, and are subsequently disapproved by EPA, the State must revise the disapproved water quality standards. If the State does not revise the disapproved water quality standards, the CWA requires the EPA Administrator to promulgate Federal water quality standards to supersede those disapproved provisions in the states' water quality standards. EPA is developing a proposed rule to determine the appropriate use designations for seven waterbodies in Alabama that EPA disapproved in 1986 and 1991.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for the Analysis of Mercury Under the Clean Water Act (Method 245.7)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would propose to amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR part 136 to approve a new analytical test procedure (method) for the determination of mercury in the wastewater program as authorized under the Clean Water Act (CWA). This new test procedure is capable of measuring mercury at low parts-per-trillion (ppt; ng/L) concentrations and would be an alternative to the recently promulgated EPA Method 1631, which also determines mercury at low ppt concentrations. EPA Method 245.7 uses similar technology to EPA Method 1631 (cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry), but it does not require the use of a gold trap. Laboratories claim that EPA Method 245.7 is a less burdensome and more cost-effective method than EPA Method 1631.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimizing Adverse Environmental Impact From Cooling Water Intake Structures at Existing Facilities Under Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act, Phase 2</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking affects, at a minimum, existing electricity generating facilities that employ cooling water intake structures and whose intake flow levels exceed a minimum threshold to be determined by EPA during the rulemaking. Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act provides that any standard established pursuant to sections 301 or 306 of the Clean Water Act and applicable to a point source shall require that the location, design, construction, and capacity of cooling water intake structures reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact. A primary purpose of the rulemaking is to minimize any adverse environmental impact that may be associated with the impingement and entrainment of fish and other aquatic organisms by cooling water intake structures. Impingement refers to trapping fish and other aquatic life on intake screens or similar devices where they may be injured or killed. Entrainment occurs when smaller aquatic organisms, eggs, and larvae are drawn into a cooling system, and then pumped back out, often with significant injury or mortality due to heat, physical stress or exposure to chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing a notice of proposed rulemaking that would propose a broad-based reevaluation framework for sanitary sewer collection systems under the NPDES program. The Agency is proposing standard permit conditions for inclusion in permits for publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and municipal sanitary sewer collection systems. The standard requirements address reporting, public notification, and recordkeeping requirements for sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), capacity assurance, management, operation and maintenance requirements for municipal sanitary sewer collection systems; and a prohibition on SSOs.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The proposed regulation is intended to address three interrelated issues: (1) The risks to health and the environment caused by SSOs; (2) The need to protect and enhance local, State and Federal investments in sewer system infrastructure; and (3) The need to provide a clear and consistent regulatory program for collection systems. 

Risks to health/environment: EPA estimates that about 40,000 SSO events occur each year, and perhaps ten times this many instances occur where sewage backs up into basements. These events lead to a variety of damages, including exposure of people to health risks; lowered water quality; and property damage and clean-up costs.  

Protection of Investments in Sewer System Infrastructure : Sanitary sewer collection systems represent a major national investment in community infrastructure. EPA estimates that these systems have a replacement value of $1 to $2 trillion. Another source estimates that wastewater collection and treatment systems represent about 10 to 15 percent of the value of all publicly owned infrastructure in the United States. The substantial frequency of SSOs and other collection system failures indicates that operation, maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of sewer systems need to improve.  

Providing Clear and Consistent Regulatory Program for Collection Systems - States are implementing the existing NPDES regulations for sanitary sewer collection systems in widely differing ways.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[EPA is considering whether to publish a proposed rule that would require NPDES permits for municipal sanitary sewer collection systems to contain a standard provision for better operation and management of systems to avoid SSOs, increased attention to system planning, and better notification to the public in the event of an overflow. These proposed standard permit conditions would derive from Clean Water Act (CWA) sections 304(i), 308, and 402(a). Section 402(a) of the CWA authorizes EPA to prescribe permit conditions as necessary to carry out the provisions of the CWA, including permit conditions on data and information collection and reporting. Section 308 of the CWA authorizes EPA to require NPDES permittees to establish, maintain, and report records for determining whether there has been a violation of the CWA.  The prohibition of SSO discharges is a technology-based limitation that is based, in part, on CWA section 301(a) which prohibits a discharge to waters of the United States except in compliance with an NPDES permit. The prohibition is also based on EPA?s interpretation of the Act that discharges from a separate sanitary sewer system need to meet effluent limitations based on secondary treatment as defined by EPA and any more stringent limitation necessary to meet water quality standards.  

Legal authority for the requirements for municipal satellite collection systems derives from the definition of "publicly owned treatment works." CWA section 212(2)(A) defines "treatment works" to include "any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling, and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature . . . including . . . intercepting sewers, outfall sewers, sewage collection systems . . . ." EPA regulations define the term "publicly owned treatment works" similarly at 40 CFR 122.2 and 403.1.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[NPDES requirements for municipal sanitary sewer collection systems currently under consideration include the five major alternatives discussed below. The first alternative would require NPDES permits for municipal sanitary sewer collection systems to contain a standard provision for better operation and management of systems to avoid SSOs, increased attention to system planning, and better notification to the public in the event of an overflow.  The second alternative would involve extending the requirements of the proposed rule to privately owned satellite collection systems. The third alternative would be to change the technology-based standard for discharges from sanitary sewers from secondary treatment to best available technology economically achievable (BAT)/ best practicable control technology currently available (BCT). The fourth alternative would be a no action alternative. The fifth alternative would be a prescriptive capacity, management, operation, and maintenance provision. In addition to these alternatives, a number of municipalities have suggested additional alternatives which are being considered.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA estimates that the total annual incremental cost for municipalities and Federal/State permitting authorities to comply could range from $93.5 million to $126.5 million. EPA estimates the total annual monetized benefits would range from $36 million to $97 million. The benefits are based on estimates of the benefits to water quality and the benefits associated with "smarter" management, operation and maintenance (MOM).  The estimated range of benefits associated with water quality including benefits from: reduced human exposure to SSOs, leading to fewer cases of illness; increased opportunities for recreation, tourism, and fishing; and less property damage due to basement backups, ranged from $12 to $73 million annually.  The range of benefits associated with improved water quality and better planning and MOM are estimated to result in a national cost savings of $24 million annually.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[EPA estimates that there are at least 40,000 SSO events per year and an additional 400,000 occurrences of sewage backing up into basements.  The health and environmental risks attributed to SSOs vary depending on a number of factors including location and season (potential for public exposure), frequency, volume, the amount and type of pollutants present in the discharge, and the uses, conditions, and characteristics of the receiving waters. SSOs can release raw sewage to areas where they present high risks of human exposure, such as streets, private property, basements, and receiving waters used for drinking water, fishing and shellfishing, or contact recreation. The most immediate health risks associated with SSOs are potential exposure to bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.  EPA estimates that these overflow events cause an estimated 1.8 to 3.6 million illnesses per year.  Major groups of disease-causing organisms or agents associated with untreated SSOs include: bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths (intestinal worms). These pathogens can cause diseases range in severity from mild gastroenteritis (causing stomach cramps and diarrhea) to diseases that can be life-threatening, such as cholera, infectious hepatitis, dysentery, and severe gastroenteritis. Adverse health consequences can be more severe for children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. In addition to pathogens, raw sewage may contain metals, synthetic chemicals (including endocrine system disruptors), nutrients, pesticides, and oils, which also can be detrimental to the health of humans and wildlife. 

SSOs may affect the quality and uses of waters of the United States. Adverse water quality impacts from SSOs may include changes to the physical characteristics and viability of aquatic habitats, causing fish kills. Sewage spills and overflows (including sewage overflows from combined sewers and sanitary sewers, malfunctioning sewage treatment plants and pump stations, sewage spills and sewer-line breaks) are the leading identified cause of beach closures and swimming advisories in the United States.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recognition Awards Under the Clean Water Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is establishing a framework for the annual Clean Water Act (CWA) Recognition Awards known as the National Wastewater Management Excellence Awards Program. Section 501(e) of the CWA authorized the Administrator, on behalf of the U.S. Government, to recognize outstanding technological achievements or innovative processes, methods or devices in waste treatment and pollution abatement programs. The rule would establish regulations under which the recognition may be applied for and granted. The existing awards program recognizes innovative and outstanding achievements, processes, methods or devices in: Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW); Biosolids Management (Biosolids); POTW Pretreatment Programs; Municipal and Industrial Storm Water (SW) Management; and Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) Controls. These wastewater management programs can generally be characterized as waste treatment and/or pollution abatement programs. EPA may later establish, discontinue, combine or rename categories by notice published in the Federal Register. Though the Agency has conducted an awards program for many years, this rulemaking action clearly acknowledges the basis for the program. EPA is formalizing the CWA Recognition Awards program using a direct final rulemaking because the Agency does not expect adverse comments. Unless the Agency receives comments requiring a response during the public comment period associated with an identical companion proposed rule published elsewhere in the Federal Register on the same day, the formalized program would become effective without further notice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ocean Discharges Criteria Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to modify the existing regulations implementing the ocean protection provisions of section 403 of the Clean Water Act. A key element of the proposed rule would provide for establishment of baseline water quality standards for ocean waters beyond three miles offshore. These waters, designated "Healthy Ocean Waters," would be protected by both a narrative statement of desired quality and pollutant-specific numeric criteria. The proposed rule also would strengthen the requirements for a permit to discharge to any ocean waters, and would create a process for establishing Special Ocean Sites (SOSs), which are areas within ocean waters that are of outstanding value, where new and significantly expanded discharges would be prohibited. The proposed rule will enhance the protection of the ocean environment and meet the goals of the Executive order on Marine Protected Areas (E.O. 13158).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clean Water State Revolving Fund Regulation Revisions Re: Use as Matching Funds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will revise the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Regulations to allow the use of loans from the non-Federal and non-State match share of CWSRF funds as a match for infrastructure grants. In 1990, EPA issued regulations implementing the CWSRF program, established as title VI of the Clean Water Act (CWA) in 1987. Section 603(h) of the CWA prohibits use of the CWSRF loan as matching funds with respect to the non-Federal share of the cost of a treatment works project for which a municipality or agency is receiving assistance from the Administrator under any other authority. In issuing its regulations at 40 CFR 35.3125(b)(1), EPA interpreted this prohibition broadly, applying the restriction to all treatment works construction. At that time, EPA believed the replacement of the construction grants program authorized by title II of the CWA by the CWSRF would result in a significant decrease in the use of other Federal grant funds for treatment works construction. However, from FY 1995 onward, Congress has authorized and appropriated funds for infrastructure construction grants in various appropriations acts. There are currently over 700 projects totaling over $3.3 billion dollars. In several cases, EPA has been asked to allow CWSRF funds to be used as a match for these grants; but 40 CFR 35.3125(b)(1) prohibits such action. Upon reconsideration, EPA has decided its initial reading in 1990 was too broad, and the intent of Congress was only to prohibit use of CWSRF loans as a match for title II construction grants. This action will revise the regulations to allow a State, in its operation of the CWSRF, to permit a CWSRF loan for non-title II infrastructure construction grant projects to be used as a non-Federal match in certain circumstances. The prohibition on the use of CWSRF as a match for a title II construction grant will continue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would amend the "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants" under 40 CFR parts 136 and 141 to approve new and updated EPA methods for wastewater, ambient water quality, and drinking water, including new and updated versions of methods from voluntary consensus standards bodies and other organizations. These methods are used to comply with monitoring requirements in the wastewater, ambient water quality and/or drinking water programs, as authorized under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Safe Drinking Water Act. This regulation would propose new methods for metals such as Method 1638 (which utilizes ICP/MS), new methods for chemical pollutants (e.g., Method 245.7), and updated methods for chemical and biological pollutants (e.g., Methods 625 and 1625), including methods from voluntary consensus standards bodies (VCSBs), and from other external organizations. The new and updated methods include methods from organizations such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Standard Methods, Association of Official Analytical Methods-International, and U.S. Geological Survey.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for the Analysis of Mercury Under the Clean Water Act (Revisions to Method 1631)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal would amend EPA Method 1631 to add new requirements for clean techniques and quality control (QC) beyond those specified in EPA Method 1631 for the determination of mercury at water quality criteria levels. EPA Method 1631 was promulgated at 40 CFR 136 in June 1999. Later that year, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the Chemical Manufacturers Association, and the Utility Water Act Group (Petitioners) filed a petition for judicial review of the final rule. One of the issues in the petition related to the clean sampling techniques and QC requirements in the Method. As part of a Settlement Agreement in October 2000, EPA agreed to sign a Federal Register notice proposing additional clean techniques and QC requirements for Method 1631 by September 30, 2001, and to take final action by September 30, 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2002 Effluent Guidelines Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Effluent Guidelines Plan is published biennially as required by the Clean Water Act and a consent decree. The Plan is often called the 304(m) Plan, based on the relevant section in the Clean Water Act. The Plan discusses the status of ongoing rulemakings, development of additional rules, and preliminary studies. The Plan sets forth EPA's rationale for the selection of particular industries as candidates for new or revised effluent guidelines. The 2002 edition will include regulatory plans beyond those industries covered by the consent decree, and OW will use the 2002 Plan as a strategic opportunity to help design the future of the technology-based pollution control program for industrial sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations (NSDWR): Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and Technical Corrections to the NSDWR</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) is a fuel additive used primarily to increase the oxygen content in gasoline. It has been used in increasing quantity in the 1990s to meet the requirements of the Federal Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) and Oxyfuels programs required by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Although the use of MTBE in gasoline has helped to reduce harmful air emissions, it is being detected in ground water and surface water throughout the country. In some instances the affected waters are drinking water sources. At relatively low levels, MTBE?s taste and odor can make drinking water supplies unacceptable to consumers. In this action, EPA is proposing a secondary standard for MTBE, which would provide guidance for taste and odor acceptability and to protect the public welfare.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Coal Mining Point Source Category (Revisions)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Coal mining discharges are covered by existing effluent guidelines at 40 CFR part 434. This new regulatory action will revise the existing regulations to address two new subcategories: Coal Remining and Western Alkaline Coal Mining. The existing regulations do not cover remining operations, which, when appropriately planned and regulated, will improve effluent quality from abandoned mine lands while reclaiming them and prevent disturbance of unexploited lands. Advances in treatment technologies and Best Management Practices pertinent to coal mines in the arid West show promise of being more protective of water quality.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR part 136 to approve new procedures for the analysis of miscellaneous metals, anions, and volatile organics under the Clean Water Act (CWA). These methods are used for implementing water quality based permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) of the CWA. This regulation would approve test procedures to be used in measuring this group of compounds under the NPDES Program unless the Regional Administrator approves an alternative procedure. EPA plans to segment the rulemaking into two phases to accommodate different amounts of data for the long list of compounds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR part 136 to approve new procedures for the analysis of miscellaneous metals, anions, and volatile organics under the Clean Water Act (CWA). These methods are used for implementing water quality based permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) of the CWA. This regulation would approve test procedures to be used in measuring this group of compounds under the NPDES unless the Regional Administrator approves an alternative procedure. This rulemaking would constitute the second of two segments of rulemaking initially proposed as one action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures: Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act Methods Update</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR part 136, National Primary Drinking Water Regulations under 40 CFR part 141, and National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations under 40 CFR part 143 to approve updated versions of analytical test procedures (methods) from voluntary consensus standards bodies and other organizations. These methods are used to comply with monitoring requirements in the wastewater and drinking water programs, as authorized under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This regulation would approve updated versions of methods for determination of chemical, radiological, and microbiological pollutants in wastewater and drinking water. The updates are to methods from voluntary consensus standards bodies (the American Society for Testing and Materials and Standard Methods) and from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of Energy. Previously approved versions of the methods being updated remain approved. Because EPA received adverse comments on the direct final rule published on January 16, 2001, the Agency withdrew the direct final on May 15, 2001. EPA plans to issue a final rulemaking addressing the adverse comments by early 2002, based on a companion proposal to the direct final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimizing Adverse Environmental Impact From Cooling Water Intake Structures at New Facilities Under Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act, Phase 1</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking affects new facilities that use cooling water intake structures. Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act provides that any standard established pursuant to section 301 or 306 of the Clean Water Act and applicable to a point source shall require that the location, design, construction, and capacity of cooling water intake structures reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact associated with the impingement and entrainment of fish and other aquatic organisms by cooling water intake structures. Impingement refers to trapping fish and other aquatic life on intake screens or other devices where they may be injured or killed. Entrainment occurs when smaller aquatic organisms, eggs and larvae are drawn into a cooling system and then pumped back out, often with significant injury or mortality due to heat, physical stress or exposure to chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Program Regulations Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 13, 2000, EPA published a final Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Program Regulation (65 FR 23580). At that time, EPA expected this to become effective the end of October 2001 (30 days after the existing Congressional restriction on implementation). On August 9, 2001 (66 FR 41817), EPA published a proposed rule to establish April 30, 2003 as the effective date of the final TMDL rule. This will allow the Agency time to convene a consensus-building process to engage the full spectrum of affected parties in developing a successful TMDL program. The consensus-building process will consider new information, including the recent National Academy of Sciences report recommending changes to the TMDL program, in an effort to speed up the cleanup of the nation's waters by developing a workable program with broad stakeholder support.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Comparison of Dredged Material to Reference Sediment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would revise the testing provisions of the Clean Water Act section 404(b)(1) guidelines to provide for comparisons between dredged material proposed for discharge and reference sediment. Reference sediment would be defined as sediment that reflects conditions at the disposal site had no dredged material disposal ever occurred there. Because the disposal site itself is currently used as the point of comparison, this action would make a technical improvement in assessing cumulative impacts and help make dredged material testing under section 404 more consistent with that conducted for ocean disposal, which currently employs a reference sediment approach. This action is not expected to have a significant impact on State, local, or tribal governments or small business, as the action will be limited to Corps projects and permit applications for which dredged material testing is necessary, and because the effect of the action will be limited to changing the location of an otherwise collected sample.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Clean Water Act Regulatory Definition of &quot;Fill Material&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires a permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for discharges of dredged or fill material to waters of the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Corps regulations implementing section 404 currently contain differing definitions of the term fill material. In particular, the Corps regulations define fill material as being used for the primary purpose of replacing an aquatic area with dry land or changing the bottom elevation of a waterbody. In contrast, EPA's definition of fill material looks to whether the effect is to replace waters of the United States with dry land or change the bottom elevation of waterbodies, and does not contain a primary purpose test as found in the Corps regulations. In order to clarify what constitutes fill material for purposes of section 404 and provide improved regulatory certainty, the Corps and EPA are conducting notice and comment rulemaking to achieve greater consistency between the two agencies' definitions of fill material.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Round 2 Standards for the Use or Disposal of Sewage Sludge</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 405 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires EPA to promulgate regulations providing guidelines for the use and disposal of sewage sludge. The rules, among other things, are to identify uses for sewage sludge, including disposal, and concentrations of pollutants which interfere with such use or disposal. The statute establishes a schedule for EPA to identify and regulate toxic pollutants in sewage sludge in two rounds: first with respect to those toxic pollutants for which information is available and subsequently, with respect to those toxic pollutants in sewage sludge not regulated in the first round which may adversely affect public health and the environment. The regulations must specify management practices, including numeric limits, for each such pollutant, for each use or disposal practice. EPA published the first round of sewage sludge regulations, pursuant to a court ordered schedule, in February 1993 (58 FR 9247) and proposed round two regulations in December 1999. EPA's round two proposal identified dioxins, dibenzofurans and coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls as the additional toxic pollutants in sewage sludge to be regulated for sewage sludge that is to be applied to the land. The consent decree requires EPA to take final action on proposed round two regulations by December 15, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule To Revise and To Ratify or Withdraw Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Methods</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would propose to amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR part 136 by revising several whole effluent toxicity (WET) test methods and by ratifying or withdrawing WET test methods listed in Table IA for use under the Clean Water Act. These methods were promulgated on October 16, 1995 (60 FR 53529). The proposed regulation is needed to satisfy the terms of two settlement agreements (entered into by EPA and Edison Electric Institute, et al., and Western Coalition of Arid States on July 24, 1998; and entered into by EPA and Lone Star Steel in January, 1997). This proposal will amend the 1995 rule by revising three WET method manuals, and by ratifying or withdrawing each of the WET test methods challenged in the settlement agreements from these three manuals. Specific revisions include: the requirement of blocking by parentage in Method 1002, the requirement for demonstration of valid concentration-response relationships, the inclusion of specific procedures to control pH drift, and the inclusion of procedures to reduce pathogenic interferences in Method 1000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Radon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed new regulations for radon in drinking water which will provide states flexibility in how to manage the health risks from radon, in both drinking water and in indoor air. States would be able to focus their efforts on the highest radon risks to the public - in indoor air - while reducing the highest risks from radon in drinking water. Breathing indoor radon in homes is the primary public health risk from radon, contributing to about 15,000-22,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States, according to a landmark report by the National Academy of Sciences. That makes radon in indoor air the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Based on a NAS report, EPA estimates that radon in drinking water causes about 168 cancer deaths per year, of which about 89 percent are lung cancer from breathing radon released from water. The remaining 11 percent of the risk is for stomach cancer from drinking radon-containing water. 

The proposal is based on the unique framework outlined in the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The proposed new regulation will provide two options to states and water systems for reducing public health risks from radon. Under the first option, states can choose to develop enhanced state programs to address the health risks from indoor radon while water systems reduce radon levels in drinking water to at or below the higher, alternative maximum contaminant level MCL proposed at 4,000 pCi/L (picoCuries per liter, a standard unit of radiation), ensuring protection from the highest risks from radon in drinking water. EPA is encouraging the states to adopt this approach as the most cost-effective way to achieve the greatest radon risk reduction. If a state does not elect this option, the second option would require water systems in that state to either reduce radon in drinking water levels to the MCL of 300 pCi/L, or to develop a local indoor radon program and reduce levels in drinking water to 4000 pCi/L. Those systems initially at the MCL or lower will not need to treat their water for radon.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended in 1996 [sec. 1412 (b)(13)], EPA is required to: (1) Withdraw the 1991 proposed radon in drinking water rule; (2) Work with the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a risk assessment for radon in drinking water, and an assessment of the health risk reduction benefits associated with various mitigation methods of reducing radon in indoor air; (3) Publish a radon health risk reduction and cost analysis for possible radon Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for public comment, by February, 1999; (4) Propose a Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) and National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) for radon by August, 1999; and (5) Publish an MCLG and Final NPDWR one year after proposal. In addition, if EPA promulgates an MCL more stringent than necessary to reduce the contribution to radon in indoor air from drinking water to a concentration that is equivalent to the national average concentration of radon in outdoor air, the Agency must establish an alternative MCL (AMCL). The AMCL is to be set at a level which would result in a contribution of radon from drinking water to radon levels in indoor air equivalent to the national average concentration of radon in outdoor air. If an alternative MCL is established, EPA must publish criteria for States to develop multimedia radon mitigation programs. EPA shall approve State multimedia mitigation programs if they are expected to achieve equal or greater health risk reduction benefits than would be achieved through compliance with the MCL. If EPA approves a State multimedia mitigation program, public water supply systems within the State may comply with the AMCL. If a State does not have an approved multimedia mitigation program, any public water system may submit a program for approval by EPA according to the same criteria, conditions, and approval process that would apply to a State program.  EPA shall evaluate multimedia mitigation programs every 5 years.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[EPA considered a range of MCL options for radon in drinking water in the Health Risk Reduction and Cost Analysis (HRRCA) (published in February 1999). The primary alternative is for a State or public water system to develop a multimedia mitigation program in order for it to comply with the AMCL. The National Academy of Sciences provided information on key factors (the water to air transfer factor and the national average outdoor radon level) that EPA used in setting the proposed AMCL.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The total annual costs of compliance with the MCL of 300 pCi/l for radon in drinking water and the associated information collection and reporting requirements is estimated at $341-408 million. In complying with 300 pCi/l, an estimated 62.0 fatal and 3 non-fatal cancer cases are avoided each year. Because EPA expects that most States and systems will choose to comply with the alternative maximum contaminant level (AMCL) of 4,000 pCi/l and implement a Multi-Media Mitigation (MMM) program, EPA expects the total annual costs of compliance with the radon rule to be significantly less than $408 million. If most States and systems comply with the AMCL and implement a MMM program, the total annual costs of compliance are estimated at approximately $86 million. The quantifiable benefits of the health risk reduction are estimated to be $360 million for either implementation scenario. EPA expects compliance with the AMCL and implementation of a MMM program to achieve equal or greater risk reduction than is expected with strict compliance with the MCL.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Radon is a naturally occurring volatile gas formed from the normal radioactive decay of uranium. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, chemically inert, and radioactive. Exposure to radon and its progeny is believed to be associated with increased risks of several kinds of cancer. When radon or its progeny are inhaled, lung cancer accounts for most of the total incremental cancer risk. Ingestion of radon in water is suspected of being associated with increased risk of tumors of several internal organs, primarily the stomach. As required by the SDWA, as amended, EPA arranged for the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to assess the health risks of radon in drinking water. The NAS Report represents a comprehensive assessment of scientific data gathered to date on radon in drinking water. The report, in general, confirms earlier EPA scientific conclusions and analyses of radon in drinking water. 

The NAS Report is one of the most important inputs used by EPA in its regulatory impact analysis. EPA has used the NAS?s assessment of the cancer risks from radon in drinking water to estimate both the health risks posed by existing levels of radon in drinking water and also the cancer deaths prevented by reducing radon levels.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 22, 2001, EPA published a final Arsenic Rule (66 FR 6975). On March 23, 2001, EPA published a notice delaying the effective date of the final Arsenic Rule from March 23, 2001, to May 22, 2001 (66 FR 16134), in accordance with a January 20, 2001, memorandum from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled Regulatory Review Plan, (published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2001). The 60-day delay in effective date was necessary to give Agency officials the opportunity for further review and to consider the new rule. On May 22, 2001, EPA published a rule that further delayed the effective date of the final Arsenic Rule from May 22, 2001, to February 22, 2002 (66 FR 20579). As its next step in the process of reviewing the final Arsenic Rule, on July 19, 2001, EPA published a proposal for comment on a range of arsenic maximum contaminant level options from 3 ppb to 20 ppb to facilitate Agency review of the January 22, 2001 rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act require EPA to determine whether the costs of regulation would justify the benefits, including consideration of nonquantifiable benefits. In addition, EPA must determine the incremental costs and benefits of alternatives considered that do not include what would occur from compliance with other proposed or final regulations. If the costs do not justify the benefits, the Administrator may choose to raise the MCL to a level still protective of health at which costs do justify the benefits. The 1999 report issued by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) definitely implicated inorganic arsenic's effects on bladder, lung, and skin cancer. Based on data that existed at that time, NAS urged EPA to lower the drinking water standard as soon as possible.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[1412(b)(12) CERTAIN CONTAMINANTS. 

(A) ARSENIC.: i) SCHEDULE AND STANDARD.-- notwithstanding the deadlines set forth in paragraph (1), the Administrator shall promulgate a national primary drinking water regulation for arsenic pursuant to this subsection, in accordance with the schedule established by this paragraph. 

(ii) STUDY PLAN.-- Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this paragraph, the Administrator shall develop a comprehensive plan for study in support of drinking water rulemaking to reduce the uncertainty in assessing health risks associated with exposure to low levels of arsenic. In conducting such study, the Administrator shall consult with the National Academy of Sciences, other Federal agencies, and interested public and private entities. 

(iii) COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS.-- In carrying out the study plan, the Administrator may enter into cooperative agreements with other Federal agencies, State and local governments, and other interested public and private entities. 

(iv) PROPOSED REGULATIONS.-- The Administrator shall propose a national primary drinking water regulation for arsenic not later than January 1, 2000. 

(v) FINAL REGULATIONS.-- Not later than January 1, 2001, after notice and opportunity for public comment, the Administrator shall promulgate a national primary drinking water regulation for arsenic. 

(vi) AUTHORIZATION.-- There are authorized to be appropriated $2,500,000 for each of fiscal years 1997 through 2000 for the studies required by this paragraph. 

Also see: 1412(b)(4)(E)(ii) for listing small system technologies 1412(b)(4)(C) for requiring analysis of whether costs justify benefits 1412(b)(3)(C)(i) for other requirements for the cost-benefit analyses 1412(b)(15) for small system variance technologies, if, considering the source water, no treatment technology is listed.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[EPA proposed an MCL of 5 ug/L for arsenic and requested comment on MCL options of 3, 10, and 20 ug/L. EPA provided benefit analyses of each of these alternatives, measured as reducing drinking water arsenic from the current standard of 50 ug/L. This proposal lists affordable technologies for small systems, as required by the 1996 amendments to the statute. Because EPA identified affordable compliance technologies for all small system sizes, EPA did not list small system variance technologies.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[As discussed in the January 2001 Arsenic Rule, at a seven percent discount rate, the Arsenic Rule would be expected to have a total annualized cost of $792.1 million for a MCL of 3 ug/L, $471.7 million for a MCL 5 ug/L, $205.6 million for a MCL of 10 ug/L, and $76.5 million for a MCL of 20 ug/L. The Arsenic Rule would have total health benefits as a result of avoided bladder and lung cancer cases of approximately $213.8 to $490.9 million if the MCL were set at 3 ug/L, $191.1 to $355.6 million if the MCL were set at 5 ug/L, $139.6 to $197.7 million if the MCL were set at 10 ug/L, and $66.2 to $75.3 million if the MCL were set at 20 ug/L. These monetized health benefits of reducing arsenic exposures in drinking water are attributable to the reduced incidence of fatal and non-fatal bladder cancer and lung cancer. Under baseline assumptions (no control of arsenic exposure), there are annual fatal cancers and non-fatal cancers associated with arsenic exposures through CWSs. At an arsenic MCL level of 3 ug/L, an estimated 33 to 74 fatal cancers and 25 to 64 non-fatal cancers per year are prevented; at a arsenic level of 5 ug/L, an estimated 29 to 54 fatal cancers and 22 to 47 non-fatal cancers per year are prevented; at 10 ug/L, 21 to 30 fatal and 16 to 26 non-fatal cancers per year are prevented; and at 20 ug/L, 10 to 11 fatal and approximately 9 non-fatal cancers per year are prevented. In addition to quantifiable benefits, many potential non-quantifiable benefits associated with reducing arsenic exposures in drinking water have been identified. These potential benefits were not able to be quantified for the January 2001 Rule, but may include reduced risk of skin cancer and numerous non-cancerous health effects. In addition, certain non-health related benefits may exists, such as ecological improvements and an increase in consumers? perception of drinking water. The cost/benefit analysis for the Arsenic Rule is being revised.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[According to the 1999 report issued by the National Academy of Sciences, the risk of male bladder cancer at the current standard is 1 to 1.5 additional cancers per thousand people, or 1-1.5x10-3, based on a linear approach.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purposes of the Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT1ESWTR) are to improve control of microbial pathogens, specifically the protozoan Cryptosporidium, in drinking water and address risk trade-offs with disinfection by-products. The LT1ESWTR builds upon the framework established for systems serving a population of 10,000 or more in the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR). The LT1ESWTR applies to public water systems that use surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water and serve fewer than 10,000 persons and includes the following provisions: (1) 2-log removal of Cryptosporidium; (2) compliance with specific combined filter fluent turbidity requirements; (3) continuous turbidity monitoring for individual filters with follow-up activities based on monitoring results; (4) development of a disinfection profile unless applicability monitoring at a particular plant demonstrated TTHM and HAA5 levels less than 0.064 mg/L and 0.048 mg/L respectively; (5) development of a Giardia inactivation disinfection benchmark and consultation with the State before making a significant change in disinfection practices; (6) mandatory covers for all newly constructed finished water reservoirs; and (7) unfiltered system compliance with updated watershed control requirements that add Cryptosporidium as a pathogen of concern.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Underground Injection Control Class V Phase 2 Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires EPA to protect current and future underground sources of drinking water (USDWs) from the endangerment posed by Class V underground injection control (UIC) wells. Class V UIC wells are typically shallow waste disposal systems that are diverse in purpose, design, geographic distribution, the nature of the fluids injected, and endangerment potential. In accordance with the judicial deadlines in a consent agreement, EPA finalized specific regulations addressing two types of high risk UIC Class V injection wells (motor vehicle waste disposal wells and large-capacity cesspools) in December 1999. That regulatory action is informally referred to as the UIC Class V Phase 1 Rule. Also, in accordance with the consent agreement, EPA must evaluate all other Class V well types and determine if additional specific requirements are necessary to protect USDWs and if so, finalize the appropriate requirements. On May 7, 2001, EPA published a proposed determination that existing federal regulation of Class V well is adequate to protect drinking water supplies, and that additional federal UIC regulations are not needed at this time to prevent Class V wells from endangering underground sources of drinking water. EPA is currently evaluating the public comment received on the proposed determination and plans to publish a final determination by May 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of a settlement agreement, EPA agreed to make specific changes to the health effects language, in the Public Notification and Consumer Confidence Report Rules, concerning di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate (DEHA) and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). With respect to DEHA, the proposed new wording would replace a reference to "general toxic effects" with specific toxic effects wording (i.e., weight loss and liver enlargement) and add the word "possible" to the reference to reproductive effects. With respect to DEHP, the proposed revision would add the word "well" in front of the phrase in excess of the MCL to describe when the health effects may be experienced. In addition, this proposal would include a negotiated paragraph on the proper use of the Agency?s Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). EPA is also making the following minor changes to the Consumer Confidence Report Rule: removing "leaching from wood preservatives" as a likely source for copper contamination; revising appendix A to move some disinfection byproducts contaminants from the "volatile organic contaminants" section to the "inorganic contaminants" section; and revising appendix A to change "chloride dioxide" to "chlorine dioxide."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will implement the Shore Protection Act (SPA) and is designed to prevent the deposit of municipal and commercial waste into U.S. Coastal Waters. This rule establishes minimum waste handling practices for vessels and waste handling facilities involved in the transport of municipal or commercial wastes in the coastal waters of the United States. The rule may require certain vessels and waste handling facilities to develop an operation and maintenance manual that identifies procedures to prevent, report, and clean up deposits of waste into coastal waters. Local governments and businesses involved with the vessel transportation and shore side handling of these wastes would be affected by this rule. Currently no tribes are known to be involved in waste handling of this type; therefore none would be affected by this rule. In regards to small businesses, EPA has provided guidance on development of operation and maintenance manuals and encourages the use and documentation of existing industry practices that meet or exceed the EPA proposed minimum waste handling standards. All indications are that this regulation as proposed would have a minimal economic impact. This regulation will result in reduction of municipal and commercial wastes deposited in coastal waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing effluent limitations guidelines for facilities that generate wastewater while processing metal parts; metal products; and machinery, including manufacture, assembly, rebuilding, repair, and maintenance. In 1995 EPA proposed regulations for seven industrial groups: aircraft, aerospace, hardware, ordnance, stationary industrial equipment, mobile industrial equipment, and electronic equipment. EPA has consolidated this rulemaking with a second phase, whose scope would include additional industrial groups such as: bus and truck, household equipment, instruments, motor vehicles, office machines, precious metals and jewelry, railroads, job shops, printed circuit boards, and ships and boats. The deadlines and timetable apply to the consolidated Phase 1 and 2 rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will consider revising the technology-based effluent limitations guidelines and standards for 8 of the 12 subcategories for this industrial category: Unbleached Kraft Semi-Chemical; Mechanical Pulp; Non-Wood Chemical Pulp Secondary Fiber Deink; Secondary Fiber Non-Deink; Fine and Lightweight Papers from Purchased Pulp; and Tissue, Filter, Non-Woven, and Paperboard from Purchased Pulp. EPA proposed guidelines and standards for these subcategories as part of the Pulp and Paper Rules (also known as the Cluster Rules) in December 1993. The Agency intends to develop these revised effluent limitations in close coordination with the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Regulation and Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Feedlot operations are covered by existing effluent guidelines at 40 CFR 412 and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are covered by permitting regulations at 40 CFR 122.23. This action will revise the existing effluent guidelines primarily to address swine, poultry, beef, and dairy cattle operations and will revise the NPDES regulation for concentrated animal feeding operations. The existing regulations, which require the largest confined animal feeding operations to achieve zero discharge of wastes to surface waters except for certain storm related discharges, have not been sufficient to resolve water quality impairment from feedlot operations. Feedlot operations are substantial contributors of nutrients in surface waters that have severe anoxia (low levels of dissolved oxygen) and problem algae blooms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 17, 1993, EPA proposed revised effluent limitations, guidelines and standards and best management practices regulations for the Dissolving Kraft and Dissolving Sulfite Subcategories of the Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Point Source Category (40 CFR part 430). This action, which OW refers to as Phase III of the Cluster Rules, will respond to comments and reflect new data. There are five domestic mills in these two subcategories. The final rule is anticipated to set limits for adsorbable organic halides (AOX), chemical oxygen demand (COD), chloroform, dioxin, furan, and 12 specific chlorinated phenolics.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Industrial Container and Drum Cleaning Point Source Category.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Industrial facilities that clean out 55 gallon drums and other industrial sized containers are not currently subject to nationally applicable wastewater treatment standards. Many types of toxic and hazardous materials, including pesticides, solvents, and petrochemical products are transported in bulk via drums and containers. Most of these containers have a residue, or heel, present in the containers before they are cleaned. The accumulation of residue from large numbers of drums and containers may result in the discharge of pollutants to the Nation's waterways. This regulation is expected to cover those facilities that clean out drums and industrial sized containers as a business, and would generally not cover industrial facilities that clean out their own drums and containers used on site.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Water Quality Standards Regulation -- Revision</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Water quality standards set by States and Indian tribes establish the water quality goals for surface waters of the U.S. and the means by which attainment of these goals will be measured and assured. They are the foundation for protecting water quality and related public health and welfare and the ecological health of the nation's waters. The Federal water quality standards regulation at 40 CFR Part 131 governs the development, review and revision of water quality standards under section 303(c) of the Clean Water Act by States and Indian Tribes, and the review and approval of water quality standards by EPA. Based upon the Federal, State, Tribal and local experience gained in the program over the last 20 years, EPA's proposed revisions to 40 CFR 131 are intended to strengthen the water quality standards regulation thus enhancing water quality management on a watershed basis, and focusing Federal, State and Tribal resources on the areas of greatest concern. Program areas identified for revision include mixing zone policies and procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Water Quality Standards for Indian Country Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering proposing a national rule containing core Federal water quality standards (WQS) to support tailored, site-specific decisions for certain waters in Indian country that do not have EPA-approved tribal standards. EPA is contemplating this rule as a first step towards ensuring that the core Clean Water Act (CWA) framework for protecting water quality is in place for all such waters. The core Federal water quality standards would establish: use designations consistent with CWA section 101(a) goals, cultural and traditional, and other uses; water quality criteria for protecting the designated uses; and an antidegradation policy designed to protect water quality. Such standards would provide a basis for EPA (in consultation with a tribe) to affect pollution discharges occurring upstream from tribal waters, provide a basis for including water quality based limitations or conditions in permits or certifications for discharges within Indian country; and provide the basis for establishing Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for Indian country waters. A Federal promulgation would not prevent tribes from developing their own standards. The Office of Management and Budget reviewed the proposal and returned it to EPA on October 2, 2001, for further consideration and analysis. EPA is considering how to proceed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for the Analysis of Trace Metals Under the Clean Water Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would propose to amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR part 136 to approve new EPA methods for the determination of trace metals at EPA's water quality criteria levels. These methods are necessary for the implementation of water quality-based permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) of the Clean Water Act. Water quality-based permits are necessary when technology-based controls do not ensure that a particular water body would meet the State's designated water quality standard. Because the methods currently approved under 40 CFR part 136 were designed to support primarily technology-based permitting needs, and because these technology-based levels are as much as 280 times higher than water quality-based criteria for metals, approval of new EPA test procedures is necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Increased Method Flexibility for Test Procedures Approved for Clean Water Act Compliance Monitoring</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would highlight the flexibility already contained in the 600 and 1600 series of EPA Methods that are currently approved for Clean Water Act compliance monitoring under 40 CFR part 136, Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants. These methods typically contain a statement that, in recognition of advances that are occurring in analytical technology, and to allow the analyst to overcome sample matrix interferences, the analyst is permitted certain options to improve separations or lower the costs of measurements. These options include alternate extraction, concentration, cleanup procedures, and changes in columns and detectors. The methods further require the analyst to demonstrate that the method modifications will not adversely affect the quality of data by generating quality control results that meet the specifications contained in the method. Despite this stated flexibility, the Agency has found that many NPDES and pretreatment permitting authorities are not aware of this flexibility when issuing or enforcing NPDES and pretreatment permits. Therefore, this regulatory action will highlight the existing method flexibility and clarify EPA's position regarding its application. This action will also extend this flexibility to other methods currently approved under 40 CFR part 136. The purpose of extending this flexibility to other methods is to (1) increase consistency between methods, (2) provide for increased recognition of advances in analytical technology, and (3) reduce costs associated with analytical measurements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for the Analysis of Co-Planar and Mono-Ortho-Substituted Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Under the Clean Water Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would propose to amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR parts 136 and 503 to approve EPA Method 1668 for the congener-specific determination of co-planar and mono-ortho-substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in effluent, ambient water, and sludge. This method is necessary for the implementation of water quality-based permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) of the Clean Water Act. Water quality-based permits are necessary when technology-based controls do not ensure that a particular water body would meet the State's designated water quality standard. At present there is no EPA analytical method for determination of these PCBs at the levels of concern. Therefore, approval of a new EPA test procedure is necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Method Detection and Quantification for Use Under the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would propose to amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR part 136 related to the detection and quantification procedures currently used by EPA for analytes regulated in the wastewater program as authorized under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and in the drinking water program under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The current method detection limit (MDL) procedure is set forth at 40 CFR part 136, appendix B. EPA has not promulgated a generic procedure for quantification but it uses the minimum level of quantitation (ML) in its wastewater program and the practical quantitation level (PQL) in its drinking water program. The ML is defined in analytical methods and is generally set at 3.18 times the MDL. The PQL is generally set at five to ten times the MDL. The Office of Water has been working to revise and refine these concepts in response to the need to regulate pollutants at low levels (often levels that are lower than measurement capabilities will allow) and to address other potential approaches to detection and quantification, including concepts being introduced by outside organizations such as voluntary consensus standards bodies (VCSBs). The rulemaking would also reevaluate the current MDL and quantification approaches and assess alternative approaches.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Uniform National Discharge Standards for Vessels of the Armed Forces - Phase II</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is phase II of implementing regulations on Uniform National Discharge Standards for Vessels of the Armed Forces. In 1996 the Clean Water Act was amended to create section 312(n), Uniform National Discharge Standards for Vessels of the Armed Forces. Section 312(n) directs EPA and DOD to work together to provide Armed Forces vessels with a nationally uniform set of discharge standards, which preempt State discharge standards for these vessels. The purpose of the statute is to allow DOD to plan, design and build environmentally sound vessels, to encourage innovative pollution control technology, and to improve operational flexibility. EPA and DOD jointly promulgated Phase I of these regulations, 40 CFR part 1700, on May 10, 1999 (64 FR 25126). The Phase I rulemaking concluded that 25 discharges from Armed Forces vessels would require control devices. Some of these discharges have the potential to introduce oil or other organics into receiving waters (such as bilge water); some have the potential to introduce copper or other metals (such as fire main); and some have the potential to introduce nonindigenous invasive aquatic species (such as ballast water). Phase II will establish performance standards for control devices for these 25 discharges. Once DOD implements rules for achieving the standards set in phase II, covered discharges from Armed Forces vessels will be required to meet these standards, and will not be subject to discharge standards established by States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimizing Adverse Environmental Impact from Cooling Water Intake Structures at Existing Facilities Under Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act, Phase 3</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking affects, at a minimum, existing facilities that use cooling water intake structures, and whose intake flow levels exceed a minimum threshold EPA will determine during this rulemaking. The affected facilities include: (1) electricity generating facilities not covered by Phase 2 regulations; (2) pulp and paper manufacturing facilities; (3) chemicals and allied products manufacturing facilities; (4) petroleum and coal products manufacturing facilities; and (5) primary metals manufacturing facilities. Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act provides that any standard established pursuant to sections 301 or 306 of the Clean Water Act and applicable to a point source shall require that the location, design, construction, and capacity of cooling water intake structures reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact. A primary purpose of this action is to minimize the impingement and entrainment of fish and other aquatic organisms by cooling water intake structures. Impingement refers to trapping fish and other aquatic life against cooling water intake structures. Entrainment occurs when aquatic organisms, eggs and larvae are drawn into the cooling system, through the heat exchanger, and then pumped back out with significant injury or mortality to the entrained organisms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will be promulgated as a program streamlining activity. The rule will revise certain provisions in the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR part 403) that address restrictions on and oversight of industrial discharges into Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs). The final rule will include exclusions or variable requirements for smaller facilities that contribute insignificant amounts of pollutants, clarify requirements for implementing Pretreatment Standards, and provide more flexible reporting, inspection and sampling requirements. The revisions should provide greater flexibility, reduce burden, and achieve improved environmental results at less cost for regulatory authorities and the regulated community.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NPDES Streamlining Rule -- Round III</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to issue several rulemaking packages to revise NPDES requirements in parts 122, 123, and 124 to eliminate redundant regulations, provide clarification, and remove or streamline unnecessary procedures. Revisions under consideration in this rule include adding additional permit modifications that can be considered minor modifications at 122.63, and changes to requirements concerning EPA's review of State permits. Other revisions may be considered as work on this rule progresses. This rulemaking is expected to affect entities which implement the NPDES program or are regulated by it. This includes small businesses and State, tribal and local governments. Most of these effects are expected to be deregulatory or streamlining in nature.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clean Water Act Definition of Waters of the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action involves joint rulemaking by EPA and the Department of the Army to amend the regulatory definition of waters of the United States. The proposal would clarify the jurisdictional status under the Clean Water Act (CWA) of so-called "isolated" intrastate waters and wetlands. The existing regulations contain language asserting jurisdiction over isolated intrastate waters, but that regulatory provision has been the subject of a January 9, 2001, U.S. Supreme Court opinion. Revision of the regulatory language is necessary to address the Court's decision, improve regulatory clarity, and provide more specificity regarding CWA jurisdiction. The rulemaking would clarify CWA jurisdiction for entities (e.g., industrial, commercial, governmental) that discharge pollutants, including dredged or fill material, to isolated intrastate surface waters or wetlands. Significant impacts on small entities or State/local/tribal governments are not anticipated, as the proposed regulatory revisions would be consistent with the Supreme Court ruling.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Groundwater Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has proposed a targeted risk-based regulatory strategy for all public water systems served by groundwater. The proposed requirements provide a meaningful opportunity to reduce public health risk associated with the consumption of waterborne pathogens from fecal contamination for a substantial number of people served by ground water sources. The proposed strategy addresses risks through a multiple-barrier approach that relies on five major components: periodic sanitary surveys of ground water systems requiring the evaluation of eight elements and the identification of significant deficiencies; hydrogeologic assessments to identify wells sensitive to fecal contamination; source water monitoring for systems drawing from sensitive wells without treatment or with other indications of risk; a requirement for correction of significant deficiencies and fecal contamination through the following actions: eliminate the source of contamination, correct the significant deficiency, provide an alternative source water, or provide a treatment which achieves at least 99.99 percent (4-log) inactivation or removal of viruses, and compliance monitoring to insure disinfection treatment is reliably operated where it is used.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Screening Methods for Compliance Monitoring of Drinking Water Contaminants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments require EPA to review new analytical methods that may be used for regulated contaminants screening or analysis, including screening methods. After this review, EPA may approve such methods that are deemed more accurate or cost-effective than established reference methods for use in compliance monitoring or the monitoring of unregulated contaminants. In this advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, EPA announces its intention to integrate the use of screening methods in the overall scheme of drinking water compliance monitoring. Efforts will be made to keep the proposal consistent with the Office of Water plan for Performance Based Methods (PBMS). EPA will identify regulated contaminates, types of monitoring and specific areas within each monitoring framework which are amenable to the use of screening methods. A logical application of screening procedures would be in a tiered monitoring mode where Tier 1 (screening phase) would identify the principal problem areas while Tier 2 would use sampling and analysis to more carefully identify and quantify specific contaminants. EPA would identify specific screening methods which are available for use based on their performance characteristics, tolerance to sample interferences, validation for drinking water analysis and correlation of results with traditional instrumental methods. The use of screening methods is expected to make drinking water compliance monitoring cheaper and faster, and provide flexibility to the Public Water Systems in the choice of analytical methods. Laboratory acceptance limits and other method performance requirements that were specified under previous rules will not be changed in this rule making. The final action would only add new analytical methods and/or analytical approaches and would not withdraw or modify previously approved methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) will control risk from microbial pathogens in drinking water. It is being developed simultaneously with the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBPR) which will address risk caused by the use of disinfectants in drinking water. This rule could affect all public water systems that use surface water as a source. Promulgating the LT2ESWTR and the Stage 2 DBPR as a paired rulemaking is necessary to ensure that adequate protection from microbial risk is maintained while EPA manages risk from disinfection byproducts. In developing the LT2ESWTR, EPA will analyze a significant body of new survey data on microbial pathogens in source and finished waters, as well as data on parameters which could serve as indicators of microbial risk. This survey data, which was collected under the Information Collection Rule (ICR), Supplemental Surveys to the ICR, and additional research projects, will provide a substantially more comprehensive and complete picture of the occurrence of waterborne pathogens than was available previously. EPA will also use significant new data on the efficiency of treatment processes for the removal and inactivation of microorganisms, as well as new information on the pathogenicity of certain pathogens, to determine effective regulatory requirements for controlling microbial risk. On March 30, 1999 EPA established a committee of stakeholders under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) to assist in the development of these rules and an agreement in principle was signed in September 2000 outlining the proposed rule options.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Stage 2 Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Regulation, along with a Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) that will be promulgated simultaneously, is intended to expand existing public health protections and address concerns about risk trade-offs between pathogens and disinfection byproducts. This rule could affect all public water systems that add a disinfectant to the drinking water during any part of the treatment process although the impacts may be limited to community water systems (CWSs) and non-transient non-community water systems (NTNCWSs). Promulgating the LT2ESWTR and the Stage 2 DBPR as a paired rulemaking is necessary to ensure that adequate protection from microbial risk is maintained while EPA manages risk from disinfection byproducts. In developing the Stage 2 DBPR, EPA will analyze a significant body of new survey data on source water quality parameters, treatment data and disinfection byproduct occurrence. This survey data, which was collected under the Information Collection Rule (ICR), Supplemental Surveys to the ICR, and additional research projects, will provide a substantially more comprehensive and complete picture of the occurrence of DBPs and microbiological pathogens than was available previously. EPA will also use new information on the health effects of exposure to DBPs to determine effective regulatory requirements for controlling risk. On March 30, 1999 EPA reconvened a committee of stakeholders under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) to assist in the development of these rules and an Agreement in Principle was signed in September 2000 outlining the proposed rule options.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update of State Underground Injection Control Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA provides a place in part 147 of its UIC regulations where all the State UIC programs are summarized. Included in this summarization are all the authorities and regulations used by the States to implement the UIC program, as well as all other documents that are relevant to the program. The primary reason for this is to provide one place where all the UIC programs nationwide are presented. A second reason, more importantly, is to allow EPA to incorporate by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations the State program authorities. Current citations to State regulations in 40 CFR part 147 are out of date for many States. This update is necessary to ensure that the CFR accurately reflects current approved State UIC programs and that elements of those programs are federally enforceable if necessary. EPA Regional Offices will be submitting State revision packages as they are completed. Part 147 will then be updated in several stages. This is the first stage. This effort should have no impact on the regulated community because we will merely be incorporating by reference elements of already effective State programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Water will revise the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations to require public water systems and States to report regulated drinking water contaminant occurrence level data to EPA. At present, States only report violation data for the purpose of compliance tracking, as concentrations that exceed the Maximum Contaminant Level. The data will be compared to health effects levels and used to compare occurrence frequency with monitoring requirements. The results of these analyses may be used to modify existing regulations during the statutorily required 6-year regulatory review cycle.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for the Analysis of E. Coli and Enterococci Under the Clean Water Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would propose to amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR part 136 to approve microbiological methods for monitoring ambient water. Ambient water contamination is determined by the presence of bacterial indicators. In 1986, EPA issued a revision to its bacteriological ambient water quality criteria recommendations to include new indicator bacteria, E. coli and enterococci. To support the ambient water quality criteria for bacteria, EPA is planning to promulgate several analytical methods for monitoring E. coli and enterococci in ambient water. This proposed regulation would approve test procedures to be available for use by testing laboratories.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of NPDES Industrial Permit Application Requirements and Form 2C--Wastewater Discharge Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[All existing manufacturing, commercial, mining, and silvicultural operations requiring a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit must submit an application in order to obtain a permit. The existing industrial application form has not been revised since 1984 and needs to be updated to reflect statutory and related regulatory changes in the NPDES and water quality standards program. The purpose of this action would be to revise and consolidate existing application forms and requirements for industries, and to streamline the permit application process for these facilities. The Agency seeks to establish a unified process that minimizes the need for additional information from applicants while providing permit writers the necessary information, including toxics data, to ensure that permits adequately address concerns of permittees and environmental protection. The Agency will seek to allow the use of existing data to the extent possible and to avoid unnecessary reporting. The Agency is also considering how to utilize electronic data submission. Although these forms will increase the burden on permittees not already required to provide these data, many other permittees are already required to submit the data. The Agency is reviewing ways to minimize the need for information from small dischargers, including tribal facilities. EPA will also seek to minimize and reduce the burden on States through improvements to the application forms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Sulfate</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sulfate is on the list of 83 contaminants required to be regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1986. The contaminant was deferred from the Phase V regulation in order to allow the EPA time to focus on implementation issues arising from the proposal concerning the risk of sulfate in drinking water to specific subpopulations. Sulfate can cause diarrhea in infants and in adults not acclimated to high sulfate-containing water, such as travelers. Persons who are acclimated to high sulfate-containing water suffer no adverse effects from its consumption. Sulfate occurs naturally in soil and is also found in surface water as a result of acid rain. Sulfate is also used as a reagent in steel and copper industries and in the manufacture of copper sulfate, a fungicide/algicide. An estimated 2,000 systems--serving a population of 200,000 residents, 1 million travelers, and 30,000 infants--are likely to be affected by this regulation. Most of the affected systems serve populations of less than 3,000 and are transient systems not in service year-round. EPA proposed but never finalized several options for compliance which would be an alternative to central treatment and less costly. The 1996 amendments to the SDWA call for a definitive study to resolve remaining health risk questions. Thereafter, EPA is to make a determination whether or not to regulate sulfate. EPA and the Centers for Disease Control have conducted the health risk study for sulfate. The results of the study will serve as the basis for the Agency's determination on whether to regulate sulfate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Filter Backwash Recycling Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1990, EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB), an independent panel of experts established by Congress, cited drinking water contamination as one of the most important environmental risks and indicated that disease-causing microbial contaminants (i.e., bacteria, protozoa, and viruses) are probably the greatest remaining health risk management challenge for drinking water suppliers. The 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act reaffirmed this conclusion by requiring EPA to promulgate a number of regulations to address public health concerns associated with drinking water. One such requirement (Section 1412(b)(14) was that EPA promulgates regulations to, govern the recycle of filter backwash within the treatment process of public utilities. 

In developing the Filter Backwash Recycling Rule (FBRR), EPA analyzed a variety of issues. The FBRR contains three major components: (1) recycle streams must be returned to a location such that all processes of a system's conventional or direct filtration are employed; (2) direct filtration systems which recycle must report practices to the State; and (3) conventional filtration systems which recycle must report practices to the State. 

The FBRR was proposed along with the Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT1ESWTR) in a single NPRM and was published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2000. Each will be finalized in separate rulemakings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation for Public Water Systems; Amendment to the List 2 Rule and Partial Delay of Reporting of Monitoring Results</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), EPA published Revisions to the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR) for public water systems on September 17, 1999, which included lists of contaminants for which monitoring was required or would be required in the future once analytic methods were established for them. The Agency supplemented these revisions to the UCMR on January 11, 2001, establishing analytical methods for contaminants and activating monitoring requirements for some of the contaminants on the UCMR lists. This regulation corrects the January 2001 UCMR to include that public water system laboratories that have been certified to use EPA Method 515.3 are automatically certified to use EPA Method 515.4 for unregulated contaminant monitoring analysis and delays requirements for electronic reporting of unregulated contaminant monitoring results until EPA's data system is able to accept data.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In May 1999, EPA published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that described the issues the Agency has with the current Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) treatment standards for mercury bearing hazardous wastes. Based on the comments received on this ANPRM as well as other information the Agency has collected, we are now conducting a series of mercury treatability studies in conjunction with DOE. The data from these studies will be presented in a Notice of Availability (NODA). These data are from a number of treatment vendors, treating several different types of mercury wastes. In addition to examining TCLP data, we are also looking at alternative leaching methodologies and other factors which might affect long-term stability of the treated wasteforms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act, Section 112(r)(7); Third Party Audit Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action establishes requirements, incentives, and procedures for third party audits of Risk Management Plans (RMPs) under 40 CFR part 68 that would reduce the need for, and thus the incidence of, government audits of RMPs submitted by facilities that volunteer for such an audit. In this context, a third party is someone not employed by either an RMP-regulated facility or a government agency responsible for implementing the RMP program (implementing agency). 

In the preamble to the final Risk Management Program rule, EPA endorsed the concept of using third parties to assist in rule compliance and oversight (61 FR 31705), provided that any such proposal: not weaken the compliance responsibilities of facility owner/operators; offer cost savings and benefits to the industry, community, and implementing agencies that significantly exceed the cost of implementing the approach lead to a net increase in process safety, particularly for smaller, less technically sophisticated facilities; and promote cost-effective agency prioritization of oversight resources. However, no specific criteria or requirements were specified in the RMP rule to regulate the activities of facilities, implementing agencies, or third parties with respect to third party assistance. 

A facility?s participation in the third party audit program proposed by this action would be totally voluntary. For facilities who choose not to participate in the program, this action would have no effect. However if a facility participates, this regulation would establish the requirements and regulatory incentives for their participation. For participating sources, the action would offer the potential for reduced regulatory burden (while maintaining their compliance responsibilities), flexible auditing options, and other benefits, provided the source meets the applicable requirements described in the rule. This action also would specify the proposed qualification requirements for persons desiring to act as third party auditors. 

EPA believes that this action would promote increased safety among facilities covered by the risk.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; Subpart J Product Schedule Listing Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will propose revisions to subpart J of the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (40 CFR part 300.900). Section 311(d)(2)(G) of the Clean Water Act requires that EPA prepare a schedule of dispersants, other chemicals, and other spill mitigating devices and substances, if any, that may be used in carrying out the NCP. Under subpart J, respondents wishing to add a product to the Product Schedule must submit technical product data specified in 40 CFR 300.915 to EPA. This rulemaking will propose revisions to subpart J to clarify and change protocols for effectiveness and toxicity testing. It will clarify EPA authority to remove products from the Product Schedule. These changes will help ensure protection of the environment when these products are used to clean up and mitigate oil spills into or upon navigable waters, adjoining shorelines, the waters of the contiguous zone, or which may affect natural resources belonging to or under the exclusive management authority of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reportable Quantity Adjustments for Carbamates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has listed carbamate waste streams as hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). RCRA listed wastes, by statute, automatically become hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and are assigned a one-pound statutory reportable quantity (RQ) unless EPA adjusts them. These substances also become subject to reporting requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) with a one-pound threshold. EPA, in this action, will propose RQ adjustments for the carbamates. Most RQ adjustments are expected to be greater than one pound. Raising the RQs for these substances would decrease the burden on (1) the regulated community for complying with the reporting requirements under CERCLA and EPCRA; (2) Federal, State, and local authorities for program implementation; and (3) Federal, State, or local authorities, if they release hazardous substances at the RQ level or greater.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revise 40 CFR Part 35 Subpart O: Cooperative Agreements and Superfund State Contracts for Superfund Response Actions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[40 CFR part 35 subpart O is the Superfund Administrative Regulation that governs awarding of Superfund cooperative agreements (CAs) to States, Indian tribes, and territories of the United States. Subpart O covers State-lead, site-specific cooperative agreements for non-time-critical removal, preremedial, remedial, and enforcement actions, and site-specific management assistance for federal-lead projects. Also covered by subpart O are non-site-specific Core Program and Voluntary Cleanup Program State infrastructure development, as well as Brownfields pilots, and Brownfields assessments. The requirements for Superfund State contracts, financial administration, property, procurement, reporting, recordkeeping, and closeout are provided in subpart O. 

Subpart O was promulgated 6/5/1990, and became effective on 7/5/1990. Many changes in the Superfund program have occurred over the past almost ten years and these need to be reflected in subpart O. The six categories of CAs presently used in subpart O need greater flexibility to accommodate the new types of CAs that have developed. For example, the number of Block Funding Reform pilots, begun in 1997, to consolidate several of the cooperative agreements offered in subpart O, has grown to about 16 for fiscal year 2000, and have generated at least 60 approved deviation requests from subpart O and 40 CFR part 31. These pilot projects offer considerable administrative relief to States, tribes, and EPA by reducing reporting requirements, broadening scope changes without amendment, increasing the ability to move monies within and among CAs, and relaxing application requirements regarding site-specific identification of cooperative agreement funds to certain activities, while maintaining site-specific drawdown requirements needed for cost recovery and Superfund accounting. Subpart O also needs to be conformed with part 31 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements). 

EPA expects to institutionalize the combining of CA types, create more flexible reporting requirements, permit greater scope changes without amendment, provide more flexible money movement within and among CAs, and other policy advances in State/tribal/EPA interaction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will address the remaining issues from the proposed rule of June 8, 1998. (Reporting thresholds for gasoline and diesel fuel at retail gas stations were included in a separate final rule; 64 FR 7031, February 11, 1999.) A supplemental proposal will address reporting thresholds for chemicals that pose minimal risk. The final rule will address: reporting thresholds for rock salt, sand, gravel and other chemicals that pose minimal risk; plain language rewrite and may consider reporting thresholds for facilities with some similarities to gas stations (motor pools, marinas, etc.) and guidance on approaches to State flexibility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of Threshold Planning Quantity for Isophorone Diisocyanate</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 12, 1994 (59 FR 51816), EPA proposed to modify the listing of several chemicals on the extremely hazardous substances (EHS) list under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. One petitioner requested the removal of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). EPA rejected the petitioner's request. However, in the review of the petition, EPA noticed that there was an error in the setting of the threshold planning quantity (TPQ) for IPDI, and proposed to correct the error in the October 12, 1994 notice of proposed rulemaking. The other modifications to the EHS list were made final on May 7, 1996; however, the TPQ for IPDI was not included in that final rule. The goal is to finalize the TPQ for IPDI.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAPS:  Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors-Phase II Covering Boilers and Certain Industrial Furnaces</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is required to establish National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for most hazardous waste combustors (HWCs) (i.e., incinerators, cement kilns, boilers, and some types of smelting furnaces). In addition, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA is required to establish standards for all HWCs as necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment. EPA is concerned that its current RCRA standards for HWCs may not be adequately protective given that the standards do not take into account indirect pathways of exposure and that there have been advances both in risk assessment and control technologies since promulgation of the current standards. The Agency is in the process of developing a proposal to address boilers and possibly other industrial furnaces, which combust hazardous wastes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of Requirement To Use SW-846 Methods (Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste: Physical/Chemical Methods)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has been actively working to break down the barriers that the environmental monitoring community faces when trying to use new monitoring techniques. As a first step, EPA has accelerated its review process for new methods by eliminating several unnecessary internal review steps, and by streamlining the internal approval process for each new method. However, there are currently 32 citations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) where the use of SW-846 methods is required. As a second step for speeding up the approval process, EPA plans to remove the requirements to use SW-846 methods for other than method defined parameters (i.e., where the method defines the regulations, such as the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) from 40 CFR. This will likely lead to an even more streamlined approval process since SW-846 will then be able to be handled strictly as guidance and not need the regulatory process for approval. This additional streamlining will permit new, more cost-effective methods to attain public and regulatory authority acceptance in much less time, allowing required monitoring to be done more cheaply, faster and, in some cases, more accurately.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standardized Permit for RCRA Hazardous Waste Management Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering creating a new type of general permit, called a standardized permit, for facilities that generate waste and routinely manage the waste on-site in tanks, containers, and containment buildings. Under the standardized permit, facility owners and operators would certify compliance with generic design and operating conditions set on a national basis. The permitting agency would review the certifications submitted by the facility owners and operators. The permitting agency would also be able to impose additional site-specific terms and conditions for corrective action or other purposes, as called for by RCRA. Ensuring compliance with the standardized permit's terms and conditions would occur during inspection of the facility after the permit has been issued. The standardized permit should streamline the permit process by allowing facilities to obtain and modify permits more easily while maintaining the protectiveness currently existing in the individual RCRA permit process. This proposal also raises issues for public comment on how all facilities receiving RCRA permits can satisfy RCRA corrective action requirements under appropriate alternative state cleanup programs and on financial assurance issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to reduce the burden imposed by the RCRA reporting and recordkeeping requirements to help meet the Federal Governmentwide goal established by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).

In June 1999, EPA published a Notice of Data Availability (NODA) in the Federal Register (64 FR 32859) to seek comment on a number of burden reduction ideas. After reviewing the comments received on the NODA, EPA is drafting a proposed rulemaking to implement many of these ideas. The proposals are designed to eliminate duplicative and nonessential paperwork. 

The main ideas being considered for the proposed rulemaking are: (1) eliminating or modifying one-third of the 334 RCRA-required notices and reports that are sent by the regulated community to states and EPA; (2) eliminating the RCRA emergency response training requirements that overlap with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements; (3) eliminating the need for facilities to record personnel descriptions; (4) decreasing the owner/operator self-inspection frequency of hazardous waste tanks to weekly; (5) providing states and EPA with the opportunity to lengthen owner/operator self-inspection frequencies on a case-by-case basis for containers, containment buildings, and tanks; (6) eliminating the Land Disposal Restrictions generator waste determinations, recycler notifications and certifications, hazardous debris notifications and characteristic waste determinations, and streamlining the characteristic waste notification procedures; and (7) modifying the groundwater monitoring requirements for hazardous waste facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modifications to RCRA Rules Associated With Solvent-Contaminated Shop Towels and Wipes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would modify RCRA rules that impact the management of solvent-contaminated shop towels and wipes. Solvent-contaminated shop towels and wipes are used throughout industry for equipment cleaning and other related facility operations. The spent shop towels and wipes can be hazardous wastes when the solvent used is either a characteristic or listed solvent. An examination of industry use and management practices reveals that many facilities may use only small amounts of solvent on their disposable wipes, and use small numbers of wipes daily -- suggesting that these materials may sometimes pose little or no risk to human health and the environment if disposed in municipal landfills. Similarly, situations exist where both disposable wipes and reusable shop towels are not being managed according to prescribed Federal and States' rules and policies. Problems with this issue have persisted since the late 1980s.]]></ABSTRACT>

A CRT is display component of a television or computer monitor. A CRT is made largely of specialized glasses, some of which contain lead to protect the user from X-rays inside the CRT. Due to the lead, when they are disposed of or reclaimed, some CRTs are hazardous wastes under the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations. This rule will also propose to streamline RCRA requirements for managing mercury-containing equipment by adding such equipment to the universal waste rule. This rule is planned in response to a June 9, 1998 recommendation on CRT recycling from the Common Sense Initiative (CSI) Council to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and in response to a petition from the Utilities Solid Waste Activities Group regarding mercury-containing equipment. CSI is a consensus-based process for developing cleaner, cheaper, smarter environmental improvements that includes representatives of: industry; environmental groups; community groups; environmental justice groups; labor and, Federal, State, local, and tribal governments. The goal of this proposal is to improve management and encourage recycling, thereby minimizing disposal of lead, increasing resource recovery, and enhancing protection of human health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Solid Waste Landfill Criteria--Leachate Recirculation on Alternative Liners</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to propose a rule to allow leachate recirculation over alternative liner systems which meet the performance standard specified by the municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) criteria. The performance determination would be made by the state director of an approved MSWLF program. EPA also plans to propose a new section to the MSWLF criteria which will allow the alternative of clean closure of landfills rather than require the installation of a landfill cap, which would allow the solid waste in the MSWLF to be totally removed from the site and be properly disposed of at another site. Finally, EPA plans to propose an additional factor to 258.54 for determining the frequency of ground water monitoring for the detection monitoring program specified in this subpart. The additional factor for consideration concerns liner performance where there is some direct system for determining liner performance. However, the minimum monitoring frequency would still be no less than once a year as stated in the existing regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to propose revisions to the RCRA solid waste regulations to exclude oil-bearing secondary materials, generated by the petroleum refining industry, from the definition of solid waste if the materials are destined to be processed in a gasification device manufacturing synthesis gas fuel. We are planning to propose this exclusion in order to clarify and simplify RCRA jurisdiction, and to be consistent with other comparable existing exclusions. In this notice, we are also soliciting comment on an option to extend the exclusion to organic containing secondary materials generated by industries (other than the petroleum refining industry).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Wastewater Treatment Exemptions for Hazardous Waste Mixtures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is looking into proposing to add up to four solvents (benzene, 2-ethoxyethanol, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, and 2-nitropropane) to the hazardous waste exemptions for mixtures of spent solvents in wastewater treatment plants (headworks rule) at 40 CFR 261.3(a)(2)(iv)(A)-(B). Spent solvents are solvents that have been used and are no longer fit for use without being regenerated, reclaimed, or otherwise processed. In addition, EPA is considering proposing: (1) changes to implementation of rule from using mass balance only, to choice of using direct monitoring; (2) adding certain leachates to allowed categories of wastestreams; and (3) revising other provisions of rule, such as de minimis quantities and the definition of point of application of exemption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Location Restrictions for Airport Safety</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The direct final rule would amend the municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) location restrictions for airport safety by adding location restrictions to conform with those contained in the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century. The rule would prohibit the construction or establishment of a new MSWLF within six miles of a public airport (1) that has received grants under the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended, and (2) that is primarily designed for 60 passengers or less. MSWLFs in the State of Alaska are exempt. Because new MSWLFS are subject to the statutory location restrictions in addition to regulatory location restrictions currently in effect under 40 CFR 258.10, EPA is promulgating the rule amendment to prevent confusion regarding applicable location restrictions for MSWLFs for airport safety purposes, as well as to notify affected entities of these statutory restrictions. EPA is also proposing a parallel rule identical to this direct final action in order to provide opportunity for comment on the rule, although we view the action as noncontroversial and do not anticipate any adverse comments. The regulated entities are expected to be: (1) Federal agencies and State, local, municipal and tribal governments constructing or establishing new MSWLFs within six miles of a public airport and (2) industries involved in constructing or establishing new landfills within six miles of a public airport.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to issue a direct final rule adding a new section to the Criteria for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (MSWLF) to allow states to issue research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) permits for landfill operations at variance with some parts of the criteria, as long as it is demonstrated that these operations will not result in an increased risk to human health and the environment. Waivers of location restrictions, groundwater monitoring, corrective action requirements, the financial assurance criteria, and explosive gases control would not be allowed by this action. EPA is considering this alternative to stimulate new technologies and alternatives in the landfilling of municipal solid waste.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is considering changing the existing regulation 40 CFR 262 subpart H, which regulates transboundary movement of hazardous waste within all countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This regulation would be amended to comply with changes passed by the OECD Council. Existing waste lists may be restructured to comply with the new OECD waste lists. As such, previously existing waste lists may be renamed according to adopted OECD terminology. Shipments of small waste amounts destined for laboratory analysis may be exempted from filing certain paperwork requirements that are otherwise required. A certificate of recovery may be required upon final recovery of wastes and timeframes for recovery operations may be changed to reflect the decisions made by the OECD Council.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Final Rule to Correct Typographical Errors and Remove Obsolete Language in 40 CFR Part 302</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has reviewed the portions of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) related to the release reporting program under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Within these regulations, which appear in 40 CFR part 302, EPA has identified several categories of errors, including: (1) typographical errors in the table of CERCLA hazardous substances (Table 302.4 in 40 CFR 302.4); (2) definitions made legally obsolete because of changes in CERCLA?s statutory provisions; and (3) redundant or unnecessary information (particularly in the "Regulatory synonyms," "Statutory RQ," and "Final RQ Category" columns of Table 302.4) that could be removed from the CFR to reduce potential confusion. 

Correcting the typographical errors, updating definitions, and removing redundant information in 40 CFR part 302 will not affect the scope of what is regulated or how it is regulated. For this reason, EPA is developing a final rule to make these minor corrections. 

EPA does not anticipate any substantial impact on small businesses or State/tribal/local governments because the final rule will not introduce any new regulations or impose new burdens. The corrections included in this rulemaking will serve to reduce confusion among the regulated community and government authorities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oil Pollution Prevention Regulation: Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Following a major inland oil spill with substantial environmental impacts (i.e., Ashland Oil in Floreffe, PA, in January 1988), an interagency task force recommended steps to improve EPA's oil spill prevention program (40 CFR part 112). This program requires oil storage facilities to prevent and contain discharges that could reach waters of the United States. On October 22, 1991, the Agency proposed revisions to implement some of the task force recommendations and on February 17, 1993, the Agency proposed further clarifications and technical changes to the spill prevention regulations. On December 2, 1997, EPA supplemented the 1991 and 1993 proposed revisions with a proposal to reduce burdens associated with the oil spill prevention program by reducing the recordkeeping provisions or exempting some facilities from some recordkeeping requirements. This rule will take final action on the 1991, 1993, and 1997 proposals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Comprehensive Guideline for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[RCRA section 6002 and E.O. 13101 require EPA to prepare guidelines in the Federal Register which designate items that are or can be made with recovered materials and to issue recommendations for government procurement of these items. Once designated, procuring agencies are required to purchase these items with the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable. Government procurement of EPA-designated items containing recovered materials fosters markets for recovered materials and, thereby, closes the recycling loop. To date, EPA has designated 54 items under three Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG1, CPG2 and CPG3). EPA has also issued a Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN) with each CPG which provides recommendations on buying the designated items. The E.O. requires EPA to update the CPG every two years. The newest action issues final item designations in CPG4.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action addresses the potential risks posed by wastes from the production of paints, and determines whether these wastes should be listed as hazardous under RCRA to control any potentially unacceptable risks. Any new wastes listed as hazardous will also be added to the CERCLA list of hazardous substances. This action will be implemented by EPA and States authorized under RCRA. Impacts on local governments are not expected. Specific wastes to be addressed are water/caustic cleaning wastes, solvent cleaning wastes, emission control dusts/sludges, wastewater treatment sludges, and off-spec product.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA, under an Environmental Defense Fund settlement agreement, proposed to amend the regulations for hazardous waste management under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to reduce hazards to human health and the environment for three wastes from the manufacturing of inorganic chemicals. EPA also proposed to add manganese to 40 CFR 261, Appendix VII and VIII; the 40 CFR 268 UTS table; and the F039 landfill leachate listing. Under the settlement agreement, EPA reviewed the wastes from 14 inorganic chemical manufacturing sectors including: sodium dichromate production, the dry process for manufacturing phosphoric acid, phosphorus trichloride production, phosphorus pentasulfide production, the production of sodium phosphate from wet process phosphoric acid, sodium chlorate production, antimony oxide production, cadmium pigments production, barium carbonate production, potassium dichromate production, phenyl mercuric acetate production, boric acid production, inorganic hydrogen cyanide production, and titanium dioxide production (except for chloride process waste solids). EPA published a proposal on September 14, 2000. The rule was proposed under the authority of section 3001(e)(2) of RCRA which directs EPA to make hazardous waste listing determinations for inorganic chemical manufacturing wastes. The FR notice proposes to list as hazardous three specific wastes under 40 CFR part 261: (1) baghouse filters from the production of antimony oxide; (2) slag from the production of antimony oxide that is disposed of or speculatively accumulated; and (3) nonwastewaters from the production of titanium dioxide by the chloride-ilmenite process. The remaining wastes evaluated in the rule were proposed to not be listed as hazardous wastes. EPA has evaluated public comments on the proposal and will issue a final rule. This action will include final Land Disposal Restrictions for the final listed wastes. Where possible, newly listed wastes will be given CERCLA Hazardous Substance Designation and Reportable Quantities assigned.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Zinc Fertilizer Made From Recycled Hazardous Secondary Materials</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is intended to revise the current RCRA regulations that apply to recycling of hazardous wastes in the manufacture of zinc fertilizers. Specifically, it is intended to establish a more consistent application of these recycling requirements to zinc fertilizer products, to establish a set of standards for contaminants in RCRA-regulated zinc fertilizers that are more appropriate to fertilizers and are protective of human health and the environment, and to specify more appropriate, protective conditions for management of zinc-bearing hazardous secondary materials prior to recycling. These regulatory revisions are expected to directly affect companies that manufacture zinc fertilizers from hazardous secondary materials, and is likely to benefit such manufacturers that are small businesses by removing certain regulatory disincentives to legitimate recycling activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAPS:  Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is required to establish National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for most hazardous waste combustors (HWCs) (i.e., incinerators, cement kilns, boilers, and some types of recovery furnaces). In addition, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA is required to establish standards for all HWCs as necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment. Consequently, the Agency established in the HWC Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule new emissions standards for cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns, and incinerators under CAA authority on September 30, 1999 (64 FR 52828). Following promulgation, issues were raised by the regulated community through informal comments and through litigation. In response, EPA proposed changes to and clarifications to certain provisions of the final Phase I rule. EPA is currently working on the final rule for these changes and clarifications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAPS:  Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors - Parallel Proposed Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is required to establish National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for most hazardous waste combustors (HWCs) (i.e., incinerators, cement kilns, boilers, and some types of recovery furnaces). In addition, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA is required to establish standards for all HWCs as necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment. Consequently, the Agency established in the HWC Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule new emissions standards for cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns, and incinerators under CAA authority on September 30, 1999 (64 FR 52828). Following promulgation, issues were raised by the regulated community through informal comments and through litigation. In response, the Agency published a direct final rule and a parallel proposal on changes to and clarifications to certain provisions of the final Phase I rule. The Agency partially withdrew a portion of the direct final rule.  (See RIN 2050-AE89.) Issues pertaining to the withdrawal will be addressed during the development of a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Solid Waste; Codification of Mineral Processing Vacature (Classification of Battery Recyclers v. EPA) and Discussion of Future Proposed Rulemaking</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) a material must first be a solid waste to be a hazardous waste. EPA's framework for determining whether a material is a solid waste is based on what the material is and how it is used. The 1998 Phase IV Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) rule purported to expand EPA's jurisdiction over certain types of mineral processing hazardous secondary materials stored on the land prior to being reclaimed in production processes. The Association of Battery Recyclers v. U.S. EPA decision (208 F.3d 1047 (D.C. cir. 2000)) vacated a portion of the 1998 Phase IV LDR rule at 40 CFR 261.2(c)(3) and vacated the Phase IV LDR rule insofar as it provides for the use of the Toxicity Characteristic Leachating Procedure (TCLP) to determine whether manufactured gas plant waste exhibits the characteristic of toxicity. The intent of this rulemaking is to codify changes directed in the vacatures and make conforming changes to the regulations to ensure clarity. EPA will aslo discuss a future proposed rulemaking to modify the rules governing hazardous waste recycling (e.g., the definition of solid waste).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act, Section 112(r)(7); Availability of Information to the Public; Technical Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR Part 68 require certain stationary sources to report an Off-site Consequence Analysis (OCA), including a worst-case release scenario, in a Risk Management Plan (RMP) that is to be made available to the public. In response to concerns that posting OCA information on the Internet might increase the risk of terrorist and other criminal activities, on August 5, 1999 the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act was enacted. The Act requires the President to promulgate regulations governing the distribution of the OCA sections of RMPs that, in the opinion of the President, would minimize the likelihood of accidental releases and the risk of terrorist and other criminal activities associated with posting this information. The President delegated his rulemaking authority to the Attorney General and the Administrator of EPA, who jointly promulgated the required regulations at 40 CFR part 1400. The part 1400 regulations restrict the public's access to the OCA sections of RMPs in certain ways. As currently drafted, however, section 68.210(a) of part 68 states that RMPs are available to the public under CAA section 114, which makes information collected under the CAA, including RMPs in their entirety, available to the public, except for confidential business information. EPA is therefore revising 40 CFR section 68.210(a) to reflect the August 2000 rulemaking and the revision will state that OCA data is made available to the public under the provisions of 40 CFR part 1400.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act, Section 112(r)(3); Revisions to the List of Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The list of substances subject to the Chemical Accident Prevention requirements at 40 CFR part 68 was promulgated on January 31, 1994. The Clean Air Act states that the list may be revised from time to time by EPA?s own motion or by petition and shall be reviewed at least every 5 years. Since the January 1994 final list rule, EPA has modified the listing for hydrochloric acid; deleted a category of explosive chemicals; exempted flammable substances in gasoline used as fuel and in naturally occurring hydrocarbon mixtures prior to initial processing; and excluded flammable substances used as a fuel or held for sale as a fuel at a retail facility. In fulfillment of the statute's five-year review requirement, EPA has conducted a thorough review of the list. Based on that review, EPA is proposing additions, deletions and modifications to the list of substances. Deletions are based on EPA's review of the chemical toxicity, physical property, production/use quantity and accident history of currently listed substances and new information or erroneous data that impacts the basis of the chemical?s listing. Other toxic and flammable chemicals are proposed to be added because they meet the criteria for listing a toxic or flammable substance. In addition, EPA proposes to revise the reporting threshold and toxic endpoints of several toxic substances based on updated toxicity information. Facilities with more than the threshold quantity of a listed substance in a process are required to develop a Risk Management Program and submit a Risk Management Plan to EPA. The proposed changes to the list will ensure that facilities are properly managing risks of the most acutely toxic and flammable chemicals that could have an adverse impact on the facility and surrounding community in event of an accidental release.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Streamlining the Preauthorization Mixed Funding for Application and Implementation of Claims Against Superfund</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Current regulations at 40 CFR part 307 provide for the preauthorization of claims against the Superfund in instances where the Agency makes a determination that mixed funding is appropriate. This process has been labeled by many stakeholders as overly burdensome. The Agency has reviewed the current process in order to identify areas in which burdens may be lessened and requirements may be streamlined. As a result, the Agency is considering a proposal to amend the current regulation to: streamline the application process by eliminating duplicative information requirements; minimize the requirements related to management, oversight, and reporting of the cleanup, by removing the requirement to be guided by the Federal Acquisition Requirements, and replacing the requirement of maximum free and open competition with a bright-line standard; allow claimants to provide independent certification of claims and supporting documentation; streamline the actual payment process by taking advantage of the electronic funds transfer process; ensure that cost recovery concerns are addressed by requiring claimants, within a settlement document, to reimburse the Fund for costs not recovered (only in the event cost recovery is initiated), due to claimants' failure to provide adequate documentary support or upon a determination that response costs expended (and claimed) were not reasonable or not incurred consistent with the National Contingency Plan and ensure proper accounting by requiring offsets for funds owed to the Agency by claimants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Criteria for the Designation of Hazardous Substances Under CERCLA Section 102(a)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will address the development of evaluation criteria for the designation of substances as hazardous under CERCLA. It is necessary to develop evaluation criteria because the Agency has the authority under CERCLA 102(a) to designate substances as hazardous; however, the Agency does not have criteria to do so. To date the only substances designated as CERCLA hazardous substances are as a result of their appearance on other Acts' lists defined under CERCLA 101(14). Using CERCLA designation criteria the Agency may establish CERCLA hazardous substances independently from other Acts, in the interest of public health and the environment. 

The purpose of this action is to have well thought-out criteria for designating hazardous substances that may be applied to individual substances for evaluation and decision as to whether or not the substance should be appropriately designated a CERCLA 102(a) hazardous substance. The Agency already has the authority to designate substances as hazardous; in this action, criteria will be developed to implement that authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>RCRA Subtitle C Financial Test Criteria (Revision)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The revised financial responsibility test is intended to improve the current test in predicting which firms will enter bankruptcy and not be able to cover their financial obligations for liability and closure costs of hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities. A bankrupt firm may be unable to afford the proper closure of a facility which would require the government to incur response costs at the facility. The rule would also qualify owners and operators of RCRA Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities which must currently use more expensive ways, such as surety bonds or letters of credit, of demonstrating financial assurance, to use the less expensive corporate financial responsibility test for more of their obligations. The combined savings from screening out riskier firms and making the test more available to viable firms would be approximately $19 million annually in public and private costs. These regulatory amendments would have no effect on local or tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Final Determination of the Applicability of the Toxicity Characteristic Rule to Petroleum Contaminated Media and Debris from Underground Storage Tanks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the final hazardous waste Toxicity Characteristic (TC) rule published in June 1990, EPA decided to temporarily defer application of the TC rule to petroleum-contaminated media and debris, such as soils and groundwater, that result from underground storage tank (UST) corrective actions. This rule is part of the Agency's commitment to make a final determination regarding the UST temporary deferral. The temporary deferral was, in part, based on the Agency's concern that without such a deferral, UST cleanup procedures would be adversely affected, resulting in delays in remedial action and increases in remediation costs. Since this action is deregulatory, there are no adverse effects on small businesses, or on State, local, or tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Listing Determination of Wastes Generated During the Manufacture of Azo, Anthraquinone, and Triarylmethane Dyes and Pigments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action addresses the potential human health and environmental risks posed by wastes from the manufacture of dyes and pigments, and determines whether these wastes should be listed as hazardous wastes under RCRA to control any potentially unacceptable risks. If listed under RCRA, these wastes would also be added to the CERCLA list of hazardous substances. This action will be implemented by EPA and States authorized under RCRA. Impacts on local governments are not expected, and there may be some small business impacts. EPA proposed listing decisions for most wastes in 1994 (Dyes-I), and deferred decisions on several others. Two deferred waste streams (filter aids and triarylmethane sludges) are subject to separate deadlines for proposed and final action (Dyes II rulemaking). The Dyes II NPRM was published on July 23, 1999. The rules proposed in 1994 and 1999 were incomplete because they did not contain information claimed to be confidential by industry. Therefore, a NODA for each proposal will be necessary, when EPA is able to release an adequate record. The deadlines are based on recent settlement discussions with plaintiffs in EDF v. Browner, Civil Action No. 89-0598 D.D.C. 

As part of the listing of dyes and pigments effort, EPA will also develop land disposal restrictions for these dyes and pigments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Waste Manifest Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (Form 8700-22) is a multi-copy form used to identify the quantity, composition, origin, routing, and destination of hazardous waste during its transportation. The manifest system's reliance on paper results in significant paperwork and cost burden to waste handlers and States who choose to collect manifest information. The Agency intends to pursue an optional approach to redesign the manifest system so that it utilizes automated technologies to increase access to manifest-related information, and to facilitate the manifest process, including the form's preparation, transmission, and recordkeeping, thereby lessening the total burden on waste handlers and States that choose to collect manifests. In addition, the Agency intends to standardize further the manifest form itself, by eliminating several optional data fields.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Management of Cement Kiln Dust (CKD)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Cement kiln dust (CKD) is a high volume material byproduct of the cement manufacturing process. While it contains potentially hazardous constituents such as lead, cadmium and chromium, it has been exempted since November 1980 from hazardous waste regulation under RCRA subtitle C by the Bevill Amendment. This amendment modified section 3001 of RCRA to exempt certain special wastes until further studies could be completed and any applicable regulations were promulgated. In December 1993, EPA submitted a Report to Congress with its findings on the nature and management practices associated with CKD. This was followed in January 1995 by an EPA regulatory determination published in the Federal Register (60 FR 7366, 2/7/95), which concluded that additional control of CKD is warranted. In the regulatory determination EPA committed to develop regulations that would be tailored to protect human health and the environment while limiting burden on the regulated community. These tailored regulations would be developed under RCRA subtitle C and, if necessary, the Clean Air Act. As part of its regulatory development effort, EPA has initiated further studies and has held informal discussions with stakeholders. A proposed rule was issued (64 FR 45632, 8/20/99) which included a comprehensive set of standards for the management of CKD. EPA is currently making an assessment as to which regulatory approach it will like concerning CKD waste management.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 20, 2000, EPA proposed revised treatment standards for K088 wastes. Specifically, the Agency proposed to lower the cyanide treatment standard and reinstate a treatment standard for fluoride nonwastewaters based on a deionized water leach test. Comments to the proposed rule were significant and suggest that there are significant treatment issues yet to be resolved for K088 waste. The Agency needs to further assess the treatment universe for K088 and is considered extending the possible date of a final rule or to investigate other strategies both regulatory and non-regulatory to facilitate recycling of spent aluminum potliners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for the Management of Coal Combustion Wastes Generated by Commercial Electric Power Producers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is for the development of proposed RCRA subtitle D regulations for the management of coal combustion wastes in landfills and surface impoundments that are generated by producers of electric power, including electric utilities and independent power producers. On April 25, 2000 EPA issued a regulatory determination for fossil fuel combustion wastes (65 FR 32214, May 22, 2000). The purpose of the determination was to decide whether certain wastes from the combustion of fossil fuels (including coal, oil and natural gas) should remain exempt from subtitle C (management as hazardous waste) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for the coal, oil and natural gas combustion wastes that were addressed. The Agency's decision was to retain the exemption from hazardous waste management for all of the fossil fuel combustion wastes. However, the Agency also determined and announced that waste management regulations under RCRA subtitle D (management as non-hazardous wastes) are appropriate for certain coal combustion wastes that are disposed in landfills and surface impoundments. 

The utility industry has made significant improvements in its waste management practices over recent years, and most state regulatory programs are similarly improving. Nevertheless, public comments and other analyses have convinced the Agency that coal combustion wastes could pose risks to human health and the environment if they are not properly managed. There is sufficient evidence that adequate controls may not be in place. For example, while most states can now require newer waste management units to include liners and groundwater monitoring, 62 percent of existing utility surface impoundments do not have groundwater monitoring. In the Agency's view, this justifies the development of national regulations. We note, however, that some waste management units may not warrant liners and/or groundwater monitoring, depending on site-specific characteristics. The Agency is initiating this action to develop and issue appropriate waste management regulations under subtitle D of RCRA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for the Management of Coal Combustion Wastes - Non-Power Producers and Minefilling</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing proposed regulations for the management of coal combustion wastes that are generated by non-electric utility coal burners and managed in landfills and surface impoundments, and for the practice of minefilling of coal combustion wastes. On April 25, 2000 EPA issued a regulatory determination for fossil fuel combustion wastes (65 FR 32214, May 22, 2000) to announce its decision that certain wastes from the combustion of fossil fuels (including coal, oil and natural gas) should remain exempt from subtitle C (management as hazardous waste) of RCRA. This regulatory determination also announced that regulations under RCRA subtitle D (management as non-hazardous wastes) are appropriate for management of certain coal combustion wastes that are disposed in landfills and surface impoundments. In addition, EPA stated its plan to consult with the U.S. Department of the Interior on appropriate measures under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) or RCRA or some combination of both, to address the disposal of coal combustion wastes when used for minefilling in surface or underground mines. 

Although industry has made significant improvements in waste management practices over recent years, and most state regulatory programs are similarly improving, public comments and other analyses have convinced the Agency that coal combustion wastes could pose risks to human health and the environment, if they are not properly managed. There is sufficient evidence that adequate controls may not be in place. For example, while most States can now require newer waste management units to include liners and groundwater monitoring, less than about 50 percent of existing non-utility landfills are lined (these statistics exclude municipal solid waste landfills which are not the subject of this action). EPA acknowledges that some waste management units may not warrant liners and/or groundwater monitoring, depending on site-specific characteristics. The Agency also decided that the practice of minefilling coal combustion wastes could present a danger to human health and the environment under certain circumstances. Since there are few States that currently operate comprehensive programs that specifically address the unique circumstances of minefilling, the Agency believes national regulations under RCRA subtitle D and/or SMCRA may be appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Corrective Action for Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs) at Hazardous Waste Management Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Past and present waste management practices at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) treatment, storage or disposal facilities have resulted in releases of hazardous constituents from some waste management units. These releases may cause contamination of soils, groundwater, surface water, and air. This regulation provides a framework for investigating and remediating releases at RCRA facilities as necessary to protect human health and the environment. The Agency has issued the corrective action regulations in several phases. A proposal for corrective action at RCRA facilities was published in July 1990. In February 1993, regulations concerning Corrective Action Management Units (CAMU) and Temporary Units were issued. An advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published on May 1, 1996, which provided further guidance on implementation of the corrective action program and requested comment on the future direction of the program, including resolution of the 1990 proposal. In October 1999, the Agency announced its decision to withdraw most provisions of the July 1990 proposal. At this time the Agency has decided not to pursue any action at this time. Any further action on this issue will be pursued under a separate reg agenda entry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action amends regulations governing solid wastes that are designated as hazardous, because they have been mixed with or derived-from listed hazardous wastes. The Agency retains the mixture and derived-from rules promulgated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These rules were currently in effect on an emergency basis. The Agency also finalized two revisions to the mixture and derived-from rules. The first was an exemption for wastes and their residuals listed solely for the ignitability, corrosiveness, and/or reactivity characteristics. The second, which EPA published in a separate notice, was a conditional exemption from the mixture and derived from rules for mixed wastes (that is, wastes that are both hazardous and radioactive). Finally, EPA plans to issue clarifying revisions in a direct final rule, (1) stating that mixtures of waste exempted under 40 CFR 261.4(a)(7) continue to be eligible for the revised exemption and (2) reinstating inadvertently deleted subparagraphs to 40 CFR 261.3(a)(2)(iv). Because this action is deregulatory, it is not expected to have adverse impacts on small business. This action will be implemented by EPA and authorized States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA assessed the potential risks to human health and the environment from the use of slag residues (slags) resulting from high temperature metals recovery (HTMR) treatment of specified hazardous wastes (i.e., electric arc furnace dust, steel finishing pickle liquor, and electroplating sludges). This assessment was used as a basis for the proposed rule to reclassify these slags as nonhazardous when they meet certain exclusion levels and are managed and used in a certain manner. EPA needs to reevaluate the proposed rule due to significant issues raised by public commenters. There are currently no plans for finalizing this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Waste Identification; Recycled Used Oil Management Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA was reviewing whether the provision of the used oil management standards which governs mixtures of recycled used oil and characteristic hazardous waste, 40 CFR 279.10(b)(2) (the used oil mixture rule), is consistent with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit's decision in Chemical Waste Management, Inc. v. EPA. The decision, which concerned a challenge to portions of EPA's land disposal restrictions, held that EPA could not authorize certain wastes exhibiting the hazardous characteristics of ignitability, reactivity, or corrosivity to be diluted to eliminate the characteristic and then be land-disposed unless the hazardous constituents in the waste were adequately treated to minimize threats to human health and the environment. 

The used oil mixture rule provides that a mixture of hazardous waste and used oil destined for recycling, if the mixture is hazardous solely because it exhibits a hazardous waste characteristic, is regulated under the used oil management standards. Under the used oil mixture rule, such a decharacterized mixture, therefore, is not subject to the hazardous waste regulations, including those relating to land disposal restrictions. Further analysis would determine whether mixtures of used oil destined for recycling and characteristic hazardous wastes differ significantly from other mixtures containing characteristic wastes in terms of potential threat to human health and the environment. EPA has no plans to conduct this analysis at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Agency promulgated a conditional exemption from the definition of hazardous waste applicable to: low-level mixed waste (LLMW) for storage and treatment; and LLMW or Naturally Occurring and/or Accelerator-produced Radioactive Material (NARM) for transportation and disposal. The rule reduces dual regulation for generators in the management and disposal of their wastes. This flexibility should enable generators of LLMW who are licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to claim an exemption for storing and treating these wastes in tanks or containers (using stabilization processes) without a RCRA permit. This rule also provides flexibility for the manifesting, transportation and disposal of eligible mixed waste. Waste meeting the conditions will be exempted from certain RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste requirements and may be managed as low-level radioactive waste in accordance with NRC regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recycled Used Oil Containing PCBs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The direct final rule, published May 6, 1998, eliminates errors and clarifies ambiguities in the used oil management standards. Specifically, the rule clarifies (1) when used oil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is regulated under the used oil management standards and when it is not, (2) that the requirements applicable to releases of used oil apply in States that are not authorized for the RCRA base program, (3) that mixtures of conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG) wastes and used oil are subject to the used oil management standards irrespective of how that mixture is to be recycled, and (4) that the initial marketer of used oil that meets the used oil fuel specification need only keep a record of a shipment of used oil to the facility to which the initial marketer delivers the used oil. This rule also amends three incorrect references to the pre-1992 used oil specifications in the provisions which address hazardous waste fuel produced from, or oil reclaimed from, oil bearing hazardous wastes from petroleum refining operations. 

EPA received relevant adverse comments on three of the amendments included in the May 6, 1998 direct final rule: the amendments to 40 CFR 261.5(j) (mixtures of conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste and used oil), 40 CFR 279.10(i) (applicability of the used oil management standards to used oil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)), and 40 CFR 279.74(b) (recordkeeping requirements for marketers of used oil that meets the used oil fuel specification). On July 14, 1998, the Agency removed these three amendments and reinstated the regulatory text that existed prior to the May 6, 1998 direct final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Suspension of Toxicity Characteristic Rule for Specific Lead-Based Paint Debris</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1998 EPA proposed a joint rulemaking under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to address disposal of debris derived from lead-based paint (LPB) abatements that exhibits the characteristic of toxicity under the RCRA hazardous waste regulations.The rulemaking was intended to address concerns expressed by stakeholders that the costs associated with disposal of large volumes of such debris (e.g., doors, windows and demolition debris) as regulatory hazardous waste may interfere with abatement activities. (See also RIN 2070-AC72.) Since the proposals, the Agency has implemented alternate policy and regulatory mechanisms that accomplish many of the goals of the 1998 proposal. The Agency issued a policy memorandum July 31, 2000 discussing disposal of LBP debris derived from households, and is promulgating a related follow-up rulemaking listed separately (RIN 2050-AE86). The Agency is currently evaluating if and how to address any remaining issues from the 1998 RCRA and TSCA proposals. When a determination is made, any actions that require rulemaking will be entered into the regulatory agenda as new regulatory items.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To help accelerate the pace of lead-based paint removal from residences, and thereby reduce exposure to children and adults from the health risks associated with lead, the Agency is considering expressly allowing residential lead-based paint waste to be disposed of in construction and demolition landfills. The rule may revise the definition of "municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) unit," and add definitions of "construction and demolition landfill" and "residential lead-based paint waste" in the Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and Practices (part 257) and Criteria for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (part 258).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAPS: Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is required to establish National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for most hazardous waste combustors (HWCs) (i.e., incinerators, cement kilns, boilers, and some types of recovery furnaces). In addition, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA is required to establish standards for all HWCs as necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment. Consequently, the Agency established in the HWC Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule new emissions standards for cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns, and incinerators under CAA authority on September 30, 1999 (64 FR 52828). Following promulgation, issues were raised by the regulated community through informal comments and through litigation. In response, this rule will promulgate changes to and clarifications to certain provisions of the final Phase I rule. The Agency issued a notice to withdraw a portion of the direct final rule, based on comments received.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protective Action Guidance for Drinking Water</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will result in Federal protective action guidance (PAG) for State and local officials to use in the event of a nuclear accident to protect the general public from the adverse health effects associated with the ingestion of drinking water that is contaminated with radioactive material. The PAG will be incorporated into the revision of the PAG manual. The draft guidance will be submitted to the PAG subcommittee of the Federal Radiological Preparedness Coordinating Committee (FRPCC) for review and comment. Members of the PAG subcommittee include representatives from DOE, DOD, FEMA, NRC, HHS, USDA, DOT, and the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD). When a consensus among the representatives is reached, the guidance is recommended to the full FRPCC for endorsement. After that endorsement is obtained a notice of the availability of a revised EPA 400-R-92-001, Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents will be published in the Federal Register. This action is temporarily delayed until the FDA's revised PAGs for food can be evaluated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for the Disposal of Low-Activity Mixed Radioactive Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This voluntary action will allow low-activity mixed radioactive wastes to be disposed in facilities that meet the design requirements for RCRA-C disposal cells. The wastes intended to be disposed of in these cells are mixed wastes, consisting of a chemically hazardous component and low levels of radioactivity. These wastes are anticipated to arise in the commercial sector from various sources. The rule is intended to increase disposal options for these wastes and offer a streamlined regulatory process which melds hazardous chemical protection and radioactivity protection requirements while protecting public health and safety. The rule does not mandate a disposal method, but rather permits an alternative to existing disposal methods. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is anticipated to be the implementing Agency for the application of this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the 40 CFR Part 194 Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Compliance Criteria</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would change some of the language in Section 194.8(b) of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Compliance Criteria without deleting any of the requirements for the Department of Energy's (DOE) compliance. Section 194.8(b) explains the process by which EPA inspects and approves waste characterization processes at DOE transuranic waste sites that send waste to the WIPP. The 194.8(b) process involves a public comment period. Most of the language in section 194.8(b) will be left intact. The most significant change would eliminate a statement that EPA will follow the 194.8(b) notice-and-comment process each time a previously approved site seeks to send a different waste stream to the WIPP. Other changes would correct certain terminology and clarify the important elements of our inspections. This rule would eliminate the ambiguity of the current language and replace it with: (1) a site can ship waste once EPA has approved it using a notice-and-comment process; (2) EPA will perform follow-up inspections under a separate authority that does not call for public comment; and (3) EPA can disallow shipment if an initial or follow-up inspection reveals significant compliance issues. The main purpose of this revision is to eliminate EPA's obligation to approve DOE sites on a waste stream by waste stream basis. Our understanding of DOE's operations has improved considerably since 194.8(b) went final in May 1998. We now recognize that approving sites by waste stream, using a comment period, is unnecessarily time-consuming for EPA staff, confusing for DOE, and generates almost no public comment. In addition, repetitive inspections at sites are expensive and provide little additional regulatory confidence. This rule will save money and will greatly improve the effectiveness of our interactions with DOE.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of 40 CFR Part 194, Appedix A, Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Certification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will modify the certification of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) that EPA granted in May 1998 by replacing or deleting Condition 1 of the certification. Condition 1 requires the Department of Energy (DOE), which operates the WIPP, to employ a specific design for panel seals in the disposal system. DOE plans to propose a different design for EPA's consideration, and our preliminary review suggests that we will be able to accept the proposal. However, because this change constitutes a significant departure from the existing program, under section 194.4 of the WIPP Compliance Criteria (40 CFR 194) we must conduct a rulemaking to accept the change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Ozone and Particulate Matter (PM) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 18, 1997, EPA issued new, updated air quality standards for ozone (62 FR 38856) and particulate matter (PM) (62 FR 38652). On November 17, 1998, EPA made available for comment proposed implementation guidance on implementing the revised ozone and PM NAAQS and regional haze program. On May 14, 1999, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued an opinion concerning the revised ozone and particulate matter NAAQS (American Trucking Assoc., Inc. et al. v. USEPA, No. 97-1440 (May 14, 1999)) in which the Court stated, among other things, that the revised 8-hour ozone standard cannot be enforced. The Court also vacated the revised PM10 NAAQS and remanded the PM2.5 NAAQS. On June 28, 1999, EPA requested a rehearing of the case before the Court, but the request was denied. The Department of Justice then filed a petition in January 2000 seeking U.S. Supreme Court review, and the Court subsequently agreed to review the case. Meanwhile, to assure that areas were not left without an air-quality standard, EPA took action on 7/6/00 to reinstate the previous 1-hour standard in approximately 3000 counties across the U.S. On February 27, 2001, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling largely upholding EPA's positions on the issues in question, the most significant exception being the determination that EPA must reconsider its approach to implementing the revised ozone standard. EPA is now working to address this element of the Supreme Court decision, as well as another issue stemming from the earlier D.C. Circuit Court decision. EPA is also developing guidelines for determining Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) under the Regional Haze Regulations, as well as moving forward on other revisions to the Regional Haze Regulations to incorporate the efforts of the Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This entry comprises the set of actions the Agency plans to take to implement the new ozone and fine particulate standards.  The major alternative facing the Agency was whether to implement the standards strictly on a state-by-state basis, as has been the norm in the past, or to take Federal action to address the fact that emissions from one State affect the ability of other States to achieve the standards. The other major set of alternatives involved various possible strategies for infrastructure design, such as the designations of nonattainment areas and the requirements that will apply to them.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

These revisions reflect the principles articulated in the President's and the Vice President's March 16, 1995 report Reinventing Environmental Regulation. That report established as goals for environmental regulation the building of partnerships between EPA and State and local agencies, minimizing costs, providing flexibility in implementing programs, tailoring solutions to the problem, and shifting responsibility to State and local programs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In response to concerns expressed in comments on the draft final rulemaking, the EPA discussed alternatives with representatives from State and local permitting authorities and industry and environmental groups, and desires public comment on some of the proposed alternatives. EPA will then consider public comments before promulgating a final rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The administrative cost of implementing these proposed rules by permitting authorities, EPA, and permitted sources has not yet been estimated, but is expected to be lower than the cost of the current rule. Administrative costs include a range of costs which cover the source's preparing an application through EPA's and the permitting authority's effort to complete the process.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[All major sources of air pollution are required to have a permit to operate by the Clean Air Act. No adverse effect on the public health or ecosystems should result from this action, because the rule will require permit revisions with significant environmental impact to undergo public and EPA review.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) content of a surface coating by reference Method 24 involves determination of its water content and calculation of its VOC content as the difference of the two measurements (volatile content minus water content). Method 24 is inherently less precise for water-based coatings than it is for solvent-based coatings and the imprecision increases as water content increases. This action will amend Method 24 by adding a direct measurement procedure for measuring VOC content of water-based coatings. This amendment will improve the precision of Method 24 for water-based coatings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project is to develop national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) by establishing maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for facilities manufacturing wood panels and engineered wood products. MACT standards are under development to reduce the release of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from all industries to protect the public health and environment. Emissions of HAP from this industry have been associated with, but are not limited to, the drying of wood and binders. This rule is anticipated to apply to the manufacture of products involving wood and some kind of binder or bonding agent. This project may include, but is not limited to, facilities that manufacture waferboard, hardboard fiber board (MDF), oriented strandboard (OSB), medium density fiberboard, particleboard, strawboard, hardwood and softwood plywood, glue-laminated lumber, laminated veneer lumber, and engineered wood products. The source category may also include lumber drying kilns at sawmills which are located on the same site as a facility that manufactures any of the wood products mentioned above. The project may also include some coatings operations. The name of the source category was formerly Plywood and Particleboard MACT.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The transportation conformity rule, promulgated in November 1993, ensures that transportation and air quality planning are consistent with Clean Air Act air quality standards. The Open Market Trading Guidance provides guidance to states for establishing a method to quantify emissions reductions (called discrete emissions reductions or DERs) that can be traded among parties and how such trading should occur. This action will amend the transportation conformity rule to clarify how emissions trading could be reconciled in the conformity process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will streamline the test procedure used to establish compliance with evaporative emission requirements for light duty vehicles and trucks. The current test procedure requires both two and three day diurnal emission tests, as well as running-loss testing. The revisions will delete the three day requirement and add flexibilities for running-loss compliance. This will enable manufacturers to save significant resources without any decrease in environmental benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking To Modify the List of Source Categories From Which Fugitive Emissions Are Considered in Major Source Determinations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will modify the list of source categories for which fugitive emissions are to be considered in major source determinations under the New Source Review (Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source Review) and title V programs. As provided by section 302(j) of the Act, EPA adopted rules on August 7, 1980 that require, for specific source categories, the inclusion of fugitive emissions when determining if a stationary source is a major source. In its 1980 rulemaking, EPA identified one such specific source category as those stationary source categories being regulated, as of August 7, 1980, under section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act. Moreover, EPA indicated that at the time of any future rulemaking proposing to regulate additional categories of sources under section 111 or 112, the EPA would conduct a parallel rulemaking under section 302(j) to determine whether fugitive emissions from sources within these source categories needed to be considered in determining whether the sources were major stationary sources. EPA did not conduct these parallel rulemakings as intended and is now conducting a rulemaking pursuant to section 302(j) to address the source categories which became subject to section 111 and 112 standards after August 7, 1980.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Asphalt/Coal Tar Application on Metal Pipes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990, requires the EPA to (1) publish an initial list of all categories of major and area sources of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed in section 112(b) of the CAA, (2) promulgate a schedule establishing a date for the promulgation of emission standards for each of the listed categories of HAPs emission sources, and (3) develop emission standards for each source of HAPs. These standards are to be technology-based and are to require the maximum degree of emission reduction determined to be achievable by the Administrator. The Agency has determined that the application of asphalt or coal tar to metal pipes may reasonably be anticipated to emit several of the 189 HAPs listed in section 112(b) of the CAA. As a consequence, a regulatory development program is being pursued for the asphalt/coal tar application on metal pipes industry to promulgate emission standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Clay Minerals Processing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990, requires the EPA to (1) publish an initial list of all categories of major and area sources of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed in section 112(b) of the CAA, (2) promulgate a schedule establishing a date for the promulgation of emission standards for each of the listed categories of HAPs emission sources, and (3) develop emission standards for each source of HAPs. These standards are to be technology-based and are to require the maximum degree of emission reduction determined to be achievable by the Administrator. The Agency has determined that the clay products manufacturing industry may reasonably be anticipated to emit several of the 189 HAPs listed in section 112(b) of the CAA. As a consequence, a regulatory development program is being pursued for the clay products manufacturing industry to promulgate emission standards. EPA plans to propose four separate standards for the clay products manufacturing industry (see 64 FR 63028, 11/18/99). This action will propose and promulgate standards for the clay minerals processing portion of the industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project will develop national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) by establishing emissions limitations for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) which can be emitted by the two known sources in this category. The emissions limitations are to be based upon the application of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The purpose of the NESHAP is to reduce emissions of HAP to protect public health and the environment. The project will begin in 2000. Initially, information on the industry processes and emissions of HAP will be analyzed to identify available emissions control technologies. That work will be followed by the development, proposal and promulgation of NESHAP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Specification 16 - Specifications and Test Procedures for Predictive Emission Monitoring Systems in Stationary Sources</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Performance Specification 16 is being proposed to provide performance criteria for predictive emission monitoring systems. Predictive systems represent a new technology that uses process information or parameters to predict pollutant emissions instead of directly measuring them. The Agency is allowing their use in recently-promulgated rules and they are being considered by a number of regulated facilities. The specification lists the requirements for acceptable systems that are met by passing tests that compare the monitoring system with standardized methods and audit gases to determine system accuracy and stability. Performance Specification 16 will primarily apply to facilities whose emissions can be predicted from process parameters such as combustion processes (including gas turbines and internal combustion engines).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this action is to make a technical change to the dose methodology used in subpart A of 40 CFR 191, entitled Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for the Management and Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Waste and Transuranic Waste The current methodology is outdated. The dose methodology used in the rule published on September 19, 1985, was based on the target organ approach recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) in Report No. 2. Since that time science has progressed and a new methodology based on an effective dose equivalent approach is currently being recommended by the ICRP in Report No. 26. This action would update the 40 CFR 191, subpart A dose limits published in 1985 from the target organ to the state-of-the-art effective dose equivalent system. There would be no change in the level of protection, just the scientific methodology for determining compliance with the levels of protection established in 1985.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking on Section 126 Petitions from New York and Connecticut Regarding Sources in Michigan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA is proposing to revise the section 126 rule in light of the March 3, 2000 Court decision (Michigan v. EPA, No. 98-1497) on the NOx SIP Call. The court vacated, and remanded to EPA for further consideration, the inclusion of Georgia and Missouri in the NOx SIP Call in light of the Ozone Transport Assessment Group conclusions that emissions from coarse grid portions of States did not merit controls. The reasoning of the Court regarding the significance of NOx emissions from sources in Georgia and Missouri calls into question the inclusion of the coarse grid portion of Michigan in the NOx SIP Call. In a separate proposal on the NOx SIP Call, EPA is proposing to withdraw the NOx SIP Call requirements for the Michigan coarse grid area. The section 126 rule is based on many of the same analyses and information used for the NOx SIP call and covers part of Michigan. Thus, in light of the court ruling, EPA is proposing to withdraw its section 126 findings and control requirements under the 1-hour ozone standard with respect to sources located in the small part of the coarse grid portion of Michigan that is currently covered by the section 126 rule. The EPA has not identified any existing section 126 sources that would be affected by the proposal, however this proposal would eliminate findings and control requirements for new sources locating in the coarse grid. This proposal does not create any new requirements, thus there are no associated costs. The proposal does not raise any novel legal or policy issues. It is consistent with the Court ruling on the NOx SIP Call and EPA?s new proposed action on the NOx SIP Call.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NAAQS: Sulfur Dioxide (Response to Remand)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 15, 1994, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed not to revise the existing 24-hour and annual primary standards. The EPA sought public comment on the need to adopt additional regulatory measures to address the health risk to asthmatic individuals posed by short-term peak sulfur dioxide exposure. On March 7, 1995, EPA proposed implementation strategies for reducing short-term high concentrations of sulfur dioxide emissions in the ambient air. On May 22, 1996, EPA published its final decision not to revise the primary sulfur dioxide NAAQS. The notice stated that EPA would shortly propose a new implementation strategy to assist States in addressing short-term peaks of sulfur dioxide. The new implementation strategy - the Intervention Level Program - was proposed on January 2, 1997. In July 1996, the American Lung Association and the Environmental Defense Fund petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit for a judicial review of EPA's decision not to establish a new 5-minute NAAQS. On January 30, 1998, the court found that EPA did not adequately explain its decision and remanded the case so EPA could explain its rationale more fully. EPA published a schedule for responding to the remand in the May 5, 1998 Federal Register. Since that notice, EPA has continued to work on the proposed response to the remand by reviewing additional SO2 air quality information. EPA published an informational notice in the Federal Register on January 9, 2001 (66 FR 1665).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The March 7, 1995, proposal notice sought public comment on three alternatives to further reduce the public health risk to asthmatic individuals posed by short-term peak sulfur dioxide exposures. These included: (a) a new 5-minute NAAQS; (b) a new program under section 303 of the Act; and (c) a targeted monitoring program to ensure sources likely to cause or contribute to high 5-minute peaks are in attainment with the existing standard. The January 2, 1997, notice proposed an alternative program under section 303 of the Act that will assist States in addressing high 5-minute peaks.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Chlorine Production</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The chlorine production source category includes facilities engaged in the production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide (caustic) by one of the following electrolytic processes: diaphragm cell, membrane cell, and mercury cell. Hazardous air pollutants emitted include chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and mercury. None of the facilities are major sources on their own. However, several are co-located with major sources (e.g., pulp and paper plants, polymer plants, synthetic organic chemical plants, etc.). Emissions of chlorine and hydrogen chloride are very minor and the Agency is evaluating whether regulation of these HAPs is warranted. Relative to mercury, which is among five pollutants listed for regulation under section 112(c)(6) due to their persistent and bioaccumulative effects, the Agency intends to subject to regulation under section 112(d)(2) all mercury cell facilities regardless of major source status.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CAA required EPA to publish an initial list of all categories of major and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed in section 112(b) of the CAA and to establish and meet dates for promulgation of emissions standards for each of the listed categories of HAP emissions sources. The standards are to be technology-based and are to require the maximum degree of reduction determined to be achievable by the Administrator. The EPA has determined that the asphalt roofing and processing industry may be reasonably anticipated to emit one or more of the pollutants listed in section 112(b) of the CAA. As a consequence, the source category is included on the initial list of HAP-emitting categories scheduled for standards promulgation within ten years of enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990. The purpose of this action is to pursue a regulatory development program such that emission standards may be proposed and promulgated according to the mandated schedule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Refractory Products Manufacturing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rulemaking will apply to existing and new refractory products manufacturing facilities. There are approximately 8 existing refractory products manufacturing facilities in the United States located at major source facilities. It is estimated that no new refractory products manufacturing facilities will be built at least for the next 3 years. The HAP that will be reduced by this proposed rule are polycyclic organic matter (POM), phenol, formaldehyde, methanol, and ethylene glycol. Implementation of the proposed rule would reduce emissions of air toxics by approximately 132 tons per year, a reduction of 46 percent from current levels. No significant adverse economic impact is expected to occur as a result of implementing this proposed rulemaking. The capital cost associated with the proposed rulemaking is approximately $3.5 million. The total annual cost of the proposed rulemaking is approximately $1.7 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, requires EPA to develop emission standards for sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Industrial boilers, institutional/commercial boilers and process heaters are among the potential source categories to be regulated under section 112 of the CAA. Emissions of HAPs will be addressed by this rulemaking for both new and existing sources. EPA promulgated an NSPS for these source categories in 1987 and 1990. The standards for the NESHAP are to be technology-based and are to require the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) as described in section 112 of the CAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

Emissions of HAPs will be addressed by this rulemaking for both new and existing sources. EPA promulgated an NSPS for this source category in 1980. The standards for the NESHAP are to be technology-based are are to require the maximum achievable control technology as described in section 112 of the CAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

Therefore, separate risk analyses are normally not conducted for individual rulemakings within the MACT program. The risks from this industry are those normally associated with surface coating operations, such as exposure to coating solvents which are hazardous air pollutants.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Primary Magnesium Refining</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (Act), as amended November 1990, requires the EPA to regulate categories of major and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed in section 112(b). The EPA has determined that sources that manufacture primary magnesium may reasonably be anticipated to emit several of the 189 HAPs listed (including chlorine and hydrochloric acid) in quantities sufficient to designate them as a major source. As a consequence, primary magnesium refining is among the HAP emitting source categories selected for regulation and is in the group of categories for which final rules are scheduled to be promulgated by November 15, 2000 (58 FR 63941, December 3, 1993).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Chromium Electroplating Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Final standards under section 112(d) for chromium emissions from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks (40 CFR 63, subpart N) were promulgated on January 25, 1995. Since promulgation, the Agency has determined that a class of chromium electroplating operations were inadvertently excluded from regulation. Specifically, the final standards do not apply to sources engaged in continuous chromium electroplating of steel sheet used to make cans and other containers. It is the Agency's intent to regulate all facilities engaged in chromium electroplating. Therefore, the Agency plans to amend the chromium electroplating rule to extend its applicability to continuous chromium electroplating operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

The HAP's are listed in section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act. The Rocket Engine Test Firing source category and the Engine Test Facilities source category are included on EPA's list of sources of HAP's. The Rocket Engine Test Firing source category includes facilities engaged in test firing of rocket engines using solid or liquid propellants. The Engine Test Facilities source category includes any facility engaged in the testing of stationary or mobile engines, including turbines and reciprocating engines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Group I Polymers and Resins and Group IV Polymers and Resins-Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[During the development of the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for elastomers (Group I polymers and resins) and thermoplastics (Group IV polymers and resins) (RINs 2060-AD56 and 2060-AE37), many of the provisions contained in the Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON) were referenced directly by these polymers and resins regulations due to similarities in processes, emission characteristics, and control technologies. On January 17, 1997, the EPA promulgated changes to the HON to remove ambiguity, to clearly convey EPA intent, and to make the rule easier to understand and implement in response to industry petitions. It is necessary to make parallel changes to the polymers and resins NESHAP; otherwise inconsistencies will exist for NESHAPs regulating similar source categories. An ANPRM was published in the Federal Register on 11/25/96 (61 FR 59849), to explain the nature of changes planned. Subsequently, six litigants have petitioned for review of the elastomers and thermoplastics regulations. Four companies have petitioned EPA to reconsider specific provisions in the thermoplastics regulation. Revisions will be proposed to parallel HON changes and to resolve petitioners' issues. There are no impacts anticipated for small businesses or State/local/tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to amend regulations already established to implement the new Federal air toxics program under section 112, including the General Provisions, the Federal operating permit program under title V, and the major source preconstruction programs under parts C and D of title I. 

The proposed rule will address issues related to the determination of a stationary source's potential to emit in response to three court decisions. 

This action resulted from splitting of RINs 2060-AC98 and 2060-AC63.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Location of Selective Enforcement Audits of Foreign Manufactured Vehicles and Engines; Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would consider an amendment to the existing regulations to include ports of entry as a location for EPA selection of foreign produced vehicles and engines for SEA emissions testing at laboratories in the U.S. While the regulations do not specify EPA authority to conduct such port selections, the increased flexibility provided by port selections warrants amending the regulations. Presently, EPA must travel overseas to conduct SEA audits of foreign manufactured vehicles and engines, even though most manufacturers now have access to laboratory facilities in the U.S. The benefits include a reduction in Agency cost since fewer overseas trips would be necessary. Also, EPA would be able to conduct more audits of foreign manufactured vehicles and engines. 

Separate from the provisions proposed in this NPRM for amendments to allow port selection for SEAs, EPA is also proposing to make two other amendments to 40 CFR part 86. The first would amend current Selective Enforcement Auditing regulations to change the minimum annual limit of Selective Enforcement Audits per manufacturer to two (2) per year. Currently, the minimum annual limit is one audit per manufacturer. Under the proposed amendments EPA would be able to perform a second audit on those manufacturers that might otherwise be limited to one audit. 

The second additional proposed amendment to part 86 would delete from subparts A and E references to the Agency representation in certain types of administrative hearings. The two provisions state that the Office of General Counsel will represent the Agency in administrative procedures governing hearings on certification for light-duty vehicles, light-duty trucks, heavy-duty engines and motorcycles. The Agency is proposing to delete these two provisions in order to be consistent with other hearing procedures in part 86.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Reconsideration of Section 608 Sales Restriction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule will include the reconsideration of the sales restriction as it relates to split systems. The Agency was petitioned to reconsider the part of the sales restriction that included the sale of pre-charged split systems. It restricted such sales to certified technicians. Since then, EPA stayed that portion of the sales restriction in response to the petition. This rule will include the determination of the Agency related to the reconsideration. It addresses environmental problems of ozone depletion resulting from emissions of chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and other ozone-depleting substances. Through restricting sales of certain pre-charged items to persons certified as technicians, emissions to the atmosphere are decreased. The impact on small businesses and governments would be negligible, since persons can become certified if the EPA determination is a full restriction. Most businesses and governments will have at least one certified technician on board. This action has no impact on small business and State, local, and tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Chromium Electroplating Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since the promulgation of the chromium electroplating NESHAP we have been informed of several sources that are experiencing difficulty in complying with the concentration limit for new sources even though they have installed and operate composite mesh pad scrubber technology similar or identical to that used as the basis for the MACT emission limit. These sources operate new state-of-the-art plating tanks not encountered during rule development which feature enclosing hoods that completely cover the surface of the plating tank. This covered tank design allows for effective capture and ventilation at substantially lower exhaust air flow rates than otherwise encountered with more conventional exterior hooding. Although these sources exceed the new source standard concentration limit of 0.015 mg/dscm, actual mass rate emissions are more than 50 percent lower than would otherwise be achieved with more conventional hooding and higher ventilation rates. The chromium electroplating standard will be amended to include this alternative type of control system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 18, 1997, the EPA published a final rule revising the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM) (62 FR 38652). While retaining the PM10 standard levels, new standards were added for fine particles (PM2.5) to provide increased protection against both health and environmental effects of PM. On the same day, a Presidential Memorandum (62 FR 38421, July 16, 1997) was published that, among other things, directed EPA to complete the next review of the PM NAAQS by July 2002. The EPA's plans and schedule for the next periodic review of the PM NAAQS were published on October 23, 1997 (62 FR 55201). Due to the unprecedented volume of new research, the completion of the Criteria Document has been extended and as a result the overall schedule for the review of the PM NAAQS is anticipated to extend beyond the original target of July 2002. As with other NAAQS reviews, a rigorous assessment of relevant scientific information will be presented in a Criteria Document (CD), and the preparation of this document is currently under way by the EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment. The EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards will also prepare a Staff Paper (SP) for the Administrator which will evaluate the policy implications of the key studies and scientific information contained in the CD and additional technical analyses and identify critical elements that EPA staff believe should be considered in reviewing the standards. The SP and CD will be reviewed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) and the public both will reflect the input received through these reviews. As the PM NAAQS review is completed, the Administrator's proposal to revise or reaffirm the PM NAAQS will be published with a request for public comment. Input received during the public comment period will be reflected in the Administrator's final decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation Conformity Amendments: Response to March 2, 1999, Court Decision</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act requires EPA to promulgate rules that establish the criteria and procedures for determining whether highway and transit plans, programs, and projects conform to State air quality plans. Conformity means that the transportation actions will not cause or worsen violations of air quality standards or delay timely attainment of the standards. The original conformity rule was finalized on November 24, 1993, and most recently amended on August 15, 1997. On March 2, 1999, the U.S. Court of Appeals overturned certain provisions of the 1997 conformity amendments. This rulemaking will amend the conformity rule in compliance with the court decision. The rulemaking will formalize the May 14, 1999 EPA guidance and the June 18, 1999 DOT guidance that was issued to guide action on this issue until a rulemaking could be issued. Specifically, the rulemaking will clarify the types of projects that can be implemented in the absence of a conforming transportation plan. It will also explain EPA's process for reviewing newly submitted air quality plans and when those submissions can be used for conformity purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Development of Reference Method for the Determination of Source Emissions of Filterable Fine Particulate Matter as PM2.5</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under this action, EPA is initiating the publication of a reference test method that can be used to quantify that portion of particulate matter emissions that are solid at stack conditions and are equal to or less than 2.5 uM in aerodynamic diameter. This test method is to be used in conjunction with existing and future reference methods which are designed to quantify condensable particulate and particulate precursors. Condensable particulate is that portion of particulate matter emissions that are gaseous at stack conditions but which quickly condense to a solid form when released to the atmosphere. Particulate precursors are gaseous compounds which become solids as a result of chemical reactions in the atmosphere. This test method supports the amended National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for particulate matter which was promulgated on July 18, 1997. The NAAQS was revised by adding new standards for particulate of 2.5 uM aerodynamic diameter. An important foundation element of State efforts to attain the NAAQS will be the development of reliable inventories of baseline particulate and particulate precursor emissions. The emission inventories developed should be based upon credible source tests of individual facilities or emission factors developed from credible source tests. At the present time there is no reference test method available for quantifying the filterable particulate matter of 2.5 uM aerodynamic diameter from emission sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inspection Maintenance Program Requirements for Federal Facilities; Amendment to the Final Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has had oversight and policy development authority for Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs since the passage of the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 1970. The 1977 amendments to the CAA mandated I/M for certain areas with long-term air quality problems and the 1990 amendments set forth standards for implementation of I/M programs. EPA used the statutory requirements of the Act, including I/M requirements for Federal facilities, to promulgate regulations which states would use in the development of their I/M State Implementation Plans (SIPs). Those rule requirements effectively gave States certain authorities over the Federal government. The Department of Justice has now ruled that Federal sovereign immunity was not fully waived under the CAA for those requirements and EPA should amend its rule to remove the requirement that States include those elements in their SIPs. EPA is proposing to: (1) Amend the Federal facilities I/M requirements by removing that section; (2) correct existing I/M SIP approval actions which include these elements; (3) establish new Federal facilities I/M program requirements which Federal facilities in I/M program areas must meet in order to comply with the Act; and (4) designate for each State which section of the Act Federal agencies must comply with based on how that State promulgated its I/M regulations. These changes will have minimal to no impact on the States as no new requirements are being created. The States are under no obligation, legal or otherwise, to modify existing SIPs meeting the previously applicable requirements as a result of this action, nor will emissions reduction credit be affected. However, the changes will clarify for affected Federal facilities what they must do to meet the CAA requirements by establishing new regulations per those requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering taking action to control the use of Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE), which is an organic compound that is primarily used as a fuel additive in gasoline. MTBE has been used to meet the oxygen requirement established by the Federal Reformulated Gasoline Program (RFG) established by the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act (CAA). Over 85 percent of reformulated gasoline contains MTBE. EPA is concerned that the widespread use of MTBE may have resulted in the contamination of groundwater and drinking water supplies, threatening their future use. While current detections levels are generally believed to be below levels that may cause public health concerns, low level MTBE contamination may render water unpotable due to offensive taste and odor. In November of 1998, EPA established a Blue Ribbon Panel to investigate air quality benefits and water quality concerns associated with oxygenates, including MTBE, in gasoline, and to provide independent advice and recommendations on ways to maintain air quality while protecting water quality. In September, 1999, the panel recommended that the use of MTBE be substantially reduced. EPA is now evaluating the Blue Ribbon Panel's recommendations, and has conducted a preliminary review of authorities available to address risks associated with MTBE. EPA intends to issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to inform the public of this preliminary inquiry, and to solicit public comment on possible regulatory action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Utility Sector New Source Review (NSR) Alternative Compliance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The New Source Review (NSR) Program is the principal means by which EPA assures that new pollution sources install reasonably effective air pollution controls before they are allowed to begin operation. EPA is currently involved in a comprehensive rulemaking (NSR Improvement, SAN 3259), intended to streamline the NSR program and reduce its administrative burden. This new rulemaking is an outgrowth of that reform effort, and will provide industries with the flexibility to focus more on existing pollution sources, with the goal of achieving as good or better environmental results than could be achieved focusing strictly on new sources. The Utility Sector NSR Alternative Compliance Program is a proposed rulemaking that is an outgrowth of this action and will provide industries with the flexibility to focus more on existing pollution sources, with the goal of achieving as good or better environmental results than could be achieved focusing strictly on new sources.

        <RULE_TITLE>Interstate Ozone Transport: Response to  Court Decisions on the NOx SIP Call, NOx SIP Call Technical Amendments, and Section 126 Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 27, 1998 (63 FR 57355), EPA issued a rule to reduce smog in the eastern half of the country. The rule required 22 States and the District of Columbia to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which reacts with other chemicals in the atmosphere to form smog. EPA required these reductions because pollution from each of these States was transported by the wind and significantly contributed to unhealthy air quality in downwind states. In response to litigation from several parties on the NOx SIP call, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a decision on March 3, 2000 making it clear that EPA and States can and should move forward to implement this regional strategy. The ruling remanded certain relatively minor portions of the original rule back to the EPA. This rulemaking covers the portion of the rule associated with the remanded issues: certain cogeneration units, internal combustion engines, the partial State requirements for Georgia & Missouri and the exclusion of Wisconsin. In this rulemaking, EPA will consider the partial State issue for Alabama & Michigan and propose SIP submittal dates and compliance dates, as well. The D.C. Circuit Court also remanded, or remanded and vacated, the cogeneration unit issue in decisions on the NOx SIP Call Technical Amendments, and Section 126 Rule on June 8, 2001 and May 15, 2001, respectively. These remands will also be addressed in this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemakings for the Purpose of Reducing Interstate Ozone Transport</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that a state implementation plan (SIP) contain provisions to prevent a State's facilities or sources from contributing significantly to air pollution that is transported downwind to other States, exacerbating their inability to meet the national ambient air quality standards for ozone. Through a 2-year effort known as the Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG), EPA worked in partnership with the 37 easternmost States and the District of Columbia, industry representatives, and environmental groups to address ozone precursor and ozone transport. This multiyear collaboration resulted in the most comprehensive analysis of ozone transport ever conducted. The OTAG States voted in favor of a range of strategies to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from utilities and other major sources. Building on the recommendations of OTAG, EPA issued a rule known as the NOx SIP Call (10/27/98, 63 FR 57355) requiring 22 States and the District of Columbia to submit revisions to their SIPs to address the regional transport of nitrogen oxides (a precursor to ozone formation known as NOx). By reducing emissions of NOx, the actions directed by these plans will decrease the formation and transport of ozone across State boundaries in the eastern half of the United States. On March 3, 2000, the Court of Appeals issued a decision largely upholding the NOx SIP Call, but remanded four narrow issues to EPA for further rulemaking action. In an August 30, 2000 Court Order, emission reduction measures are required to be in place by May 31, 2004. On June 8, 2001, the D.C. Circuit made a related decision concerning the NOx SIP Call Technical Amendment rulemakings which largely upheld Phase I of the NOx SIP Call, but remanded one issue to EPA. EPA is now addressing in a separate rulemaking the remanded issues mentioned above -- see SAN 4433 in today's Regulatory Agenda. Another issue remanded, or remanded and vacated, in the technical amendments and section 126 court decisions dealing with growth projections will be addressed separately. A notice of data availability was published on 8/3/01 which made new data publicly available for notice-and-comment. Final action is expected in November 2001.  In addition to the SIP Call provisions, Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) may also be needed to reduce regional transport if any affected State fails to adequately revise its SIP to comply with the NOx SIP call (see SAN 4096 in today's Regulatory Agenda). In addition to the SIP Call remedy, the Clean Air Act also gave States the right to petition EPA to take other Federal action to prevent ozone transport that affects downwind States. Accordingly, under section 126 of the CAA, eight northeastern States filed petitions requesting EPA to make findings and require decreases in NOx emissions from certain stationary sources in upwind.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[As outlined in the Regulatory Impact Analysis for the NOx SIP Call, the rule will result in significant improvements in premature mortality, chronic asthma, chronic and acute bronchitis, upper and lower respiratory symptoms, work days lost, decreased worker productivity, visibility in urban and suburban areas, increases in yields of commercial forests currently exposed to elevated ozone levels, and reductions in loadings of nitrogen to sensitivity estuaries, helping State and local government reach target reduction goals for estuaries such as Chesapeake Bay, Albermarle-Pamlico Sound and Long Island Sound. Due to practical analytical limitations, we cannot quantify and/or monetize all potential benefits of this action. Within these limitations, the quantified and monetized benefits were estimated in the Regulatory Impact Analysis to range from $1.1 Billion to $4.2 Billion annually. Annual costs were estimated at $1.7 Billion.  All figures are in 1990 dollars.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risks addressed by this action are the likelihood of experiencing increased health and environmental effects associated with nonattainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone. These effects are briefly described above in the "costs and benefits" section, and they are outlined in detail in the Regulatory Impact Analysis for the NOx SIP Call.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petitions to Delist Source Categories from the Source Category List, Developed Pursuant to Section 112(c) of the Clean Air Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA has received 1 petition to remove a SC (2-Piece Can Manufacturing) from the SC List developed pursuant to Section 112(c) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The most current SC List was published on November 18, 1999 (64 FR 63025). Section 112(c)(9), which provides the legislative authority and guidelines for such actions, states that the Administrator may delete a SC from the list under Section 112(c), on petition of any person or on the Administrator?s own motion, whenever the Administrator determines that no source in the category emits hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in quantities which may cause a lifetime risk of cancer greater than 1 in one million to the individual in the population who is most exposed and that emissions from no source in the category exceed a level which is adequate to protect public health with an ample margin of safety and that no adverse environmental effect will result. As of August 30, 2001, 1 petition to delist a SC has been received. It contains information on HAP emissions, exposures, health effects, human risks, and potential ecological concerns as well as the petitioner?s explanation why the 2-Piece Can Manufacturing should be removed from the SC List. The EPA will conduct a comprehensive review of the petition received then decide whether to grant or deny the petition. Section 112(c)(9) requires that within 12 months of receipt of a petition, the Administrator shall either grant or deny the petition by publishing a written explanation of the reasons for the Administrator?s decision. We believe that petitions to delist source categories are non-significant actions because they do not meet any of the principles outlined in section A above.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revising Regulations on Ambient Air Quality Monitoring</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Air pollution control authorities use air quality data to determine compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and in subsequent work to develop air pollution mitigation strategies. The data come primarily from ambient air monitoring stations run by State and local agencies, although Federal, tribal, and industrial organizations also run stations. The design of the monitoring networks is regulated under 40 CFR 58. This rule was originally written in 1979 and several revisions have been made in the intervening years. Air pollution control authorities have improved their parts of the network in response to changes in air quality, advances in the understanding of the movements and health effects of air pollutants, and developments in air pollution measurement technology. EPA has also cooperated with air pollution control authorities to improve the networks, but we have not revised the applicable regulations comprehensively. The proposed revisions would remove real or perceived constraints on redeploying air monitoring stations; more accurately reflect the roles of EPA and other control authorities in designing, reviewing, and modifying networks; bring provisions related to quality assurance up to date; and recognize technological changes. The current regulations require states to develop plans to deploy air monitoring networks, but they do not emphasize administering the networks. States generally develop new plans only when new monitoring is needed, such as for a new NAAQS. The regulations should be revised to reflect the roles of EPA and the State and local agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[40 CFR part 63 contains OAR's air-toxics emissions regulations, often referred to as MACT rules or NESHAPS. We are revising some part 63 standards to reflect changes in delegation provisions. We are also revising some sections in the part 63 regulations to clarify what are standards and what are compliance assurance measures. The benefits of the changes will include clarifying what authorities in each standard can be delegated to State and local air pollution control agencies and meshing the standards with revisions previously made to other part 63 regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Plan Requirements for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units Constructed on or Before November 30, 1999</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set emission guidelines for existing incinerators combusting commercial or industrial waste under sections 111 and 129. Final emission guidelines for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) were published on December 1, 2000 (see 65 FR 75338). In accordance with section 129, any State with affected sources must submit a State plan by December 1, 2001 describing how the State will implement the emission guidelines for existing CISWI. Section 129 requires the Administrator to develop and implement a Federal plan for existing CISWI units located in any State which has not submitted an approvable plan within 2 years of promulgation of the emissions guidelines. In this CISWI Federal plan rulemaking, EPA becomes the implementing authority in those instances where the State has failed to submit a plan or a plan has not yet been approved. Therefore, consistent with section 129(b)(3) of the Act, EPA is proposing a plan that applies to CISWI in any State that has not submitted an approvable plan within the time allotted. This action makes no changes to the requirements in the rule, and is intended to fulfill EPA's duty under section 129(b)(3) to promulgate a Federal plan as a gap-filling measure until the State fulfills its statutory obligations. When the State submits an approvable State plan, the Federal plan will no longer apply to units in that State.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Part 97 Federal NOx Budget Trading Program Allowance Allocation Method and Part 75 Output and Emissions Monitoring Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking package will propose two types of modifications to the Code of Federal Regulations: revisions to parts 72 and 75 related to the existing Acid Rain Program; and, revisions to part 75 and part 97 that are associated with the implementation of the Federal NOx Budget Trading Program. 

The proposed revisions to parts 72 and 75 pertaining to the Acid Rain Program will improve the program's efficiency and effectiveness. These revisions include technical corrections and clarifications to the monitoring procedures that will improve quality of the SO2 and NOx emissions data. Some reporting requirements will be modified to broaden and improve electronic reporting provisions in order to reduce industry burden and facilitate better data management within the Agency. 

In support of the Federal NOx Budget Trading Program, EPA will propose revisions to parts 72, 75, and 97. Parts 72 and 75 will be modified to introduce procedural requirements for the monitoring and reporting of output (i.e., electricity, steam, or heated water) for electric generating units. The proposed revisions to part 97 will satisfy a commitment the Agency made in the January 18, 2000 final section 126 rule to use output for updating NOx allowance allocations. Our analysis predicts that updating allocations based on output will reduce air pollution nationwide and will result in more efficient electricity generation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 23, 1999, EPA promulgated the NESHAP for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production (Production of Agricultural Chemicals). Subsequently, a petition was filed on this rule, and EPA received the list of issues filed with the court. There are four separate, but related petitions. Major issues include applicability determination for creosote producers, control requirements for left-over vents, averaging period, and wastewater applicability cutoffs. This amendment will address these issues raised by creosote producers. The other issues will be addressed in a separate rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Amino/Phenolic Resins: Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Amino and Phenolic Wood Adhesives Association (APWAA) has filed a petition for review of the final rule. APWAA has identified two areas of concern in their statement of issue. First of all APWAA claims that EPA was unjustified in going above the floor level of control to include equipment requirements equivalent to the Consolidated Air Rule (CAR) for new and existing sources. APWAA believes EPA should use the floor level of control for both new and existing sources. For existing sources there is no floor, and for new sources the floor level of control is equivalent to the requirements included in 40 CFR part 60 subpart VV. The second issue identified by APWAA is the way the requirements for non-reactor batch vents were calculated. The current rule has a 500 lbs per year applicability cutoff for non-reactor batch vents at the facility level. APWAA has stated that the cutoff should be applicable to individual vents instead of the entire facility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Indoor Air Toxics Strategy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Indoor Air Toxics Strategy is a plan to reduce risks from toxic air pollutants indoors and is in response to the July 19, 1999 release of the National Air Toxics Program/Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy (64 FR 38706). The latter strategy recognized that, although exposures to air toxics indoors may be significant, the risks associated with indoor exposures are not as well characterized as those for exposures outdoors. The Indoor Air Toxics Strategy will present the results of a screening-level ranking and selection of key air toxics indoors, which was performed to help us prioritize our future efforts in this area, and will present a plan to work with outside stakeholders to further characterize and reduce risks from air toxics indoors. The Indoor Air Toxics Strategy will rely heavily on voluntary, non-regulatory efforts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Regional Haze Rule to Incorporate Sulfur Dioxide Milestones and Backstop Emissions Trading Program for Nine Western States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation is for an action anticipated by the regional haze rule that we published in July 1999. One portion of the regional haze rule was an optional visibility protection program for nine Western States. Part of this program for the West, a long-term program to reduce stationary source emissions of sulfur dioxide, was incomplete at the time of the 1999 rule. Accordingly, the rule required Western States to submit an "Annex" to an earlier report of the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission. We required the Annex to contain sulfur dioxide milestones for the years 2003 to 2018, to establish a program to track emissions from stationary sources over this time period, and to provide the details of a market trading program that would be triggered if a milestone is exceeded. The Western Regional Air Partnership submitted the Annex on September 29, 2000. The purpose of this rulemaking is to determine whether the Annex meets the requirements of the regional haze rule and the Clean Air Act, and if it does, to amend the regional haze rule to incorporate its provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Evaluation of Updated Test Procedures for the Certification of Gasoline Deposit Control Additives</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[All gasoline must contain additives to control the formation of deposits in the fuel supply system and engine of motor vehicles. If uncontrolled, such deposits can result in a significant increase in motor vehicle emissions. This action will propose that updated test procedures be adopted for the certification of gasoline deposit control additives regarding their ability to control fuel injector and intake valve deposits. The adoption of the updated procedures will ensure that the gasoline deposit control program continues to ensure an adequate level of deposit control, thereby preventing an increase in motor vehicle emissions. The updated test procedures require less time to perform and are less costly. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed procedures will reduce the burden on industry of complying with the gasoline deposit control program. The proposed action will not impact small businesses, or state, local, or tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Motor Vehicle and Engine Compliance (MVECP) Fee Program user fees are collected for certification and compliance activities. Currently, user fees are required by manufacturers of light-duty vehicles, light-duty trucks, heavy-duty vehicles, heavy-duty engines and motorcycles. Through this Notice, EPA is proposing to update the current fee provisions for the existing industries and incorporate fees for nonroad manufacturers. In addition, the fee schedule will be updated to reflect costs in administering compliance activities for new regulations such as the "Tier 2" automobile standards and nonroad engine standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electric Utility Steam Generating Unit MACT Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2000, the EPA determined that regulation of hazardous air pollutant emissions (HAP) from oil- and coal-fired electric utility steam generating units was necessary and appropriate. This finding was based on the results of the study mandated by section 112(n)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act, as amended. The regulation(s) will be developed under section 112 and will result in standards based on the use of maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The primary benefit will be the reduction of mercury emissions to the atmosphere from coal-fired units but other HAP will also be reduced. Small businesses and State/local/tribal governments could be impacted (particularly those governments owning or operating oil- or coal-fired electric generation facilities).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electric Arc Furnace NSPS Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sources affected by the NSPS for electric arc furnaces (subparts AA, and AAa) have expressed concerns with the requirements in the NSPS to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) to monitor opacity and report periods when the COM indicated greater than 3 percent opacity as periods of excess emissions, and have petitioned the EPA to reconsider the COM requirements. These concerns arise from recent information that indicate that COM readings may have an error of up to 4 percent, which in itself is greater than the 3 percent excess emissions threshold. The EPA is reconsidering the COM requirements, and may amend the NSPS to add alternative monitoring requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Air Pollution From Motor Vehicles and Engines: Alternative Low-Sulfur Highway Diesel Fuel Transition Program for Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will carry out a flexibility provision for Alaska that was included in EPA's heavy-duty diesel rule, which was promulgated on January 18, 2001. That rule established more stringent national emission standards for heavy-duty highway vehicles and engines for the 2007 model year, and a technology-enabling sulfur limit of 15 ppm for highway diesel fuel beginning in 2006. In that rule, EPA recognized Alaska's unique geographical, meteorological, air quality, and economic factors and provided Alaska an opportunity to develop its own plan to transition to low-sulfur highway diesel fuel, as an alternative to the national transition program. Our goal in offering this flexibility is to transition Alaska into the low-sulfur fuel program in a manner that minimizes costs, while ensuring that the new vehicles and engines receive the low-sulfur fuel they need. As stated in the Federal Register notice for the diesel rule, if Alaska submits an alternative plan by April 1, 2002, and if EPA determines that it provides a reasonable alternative, EPA intends to initiate rulemaking and, within one year from the date of Alaska's submittal, promulgate a final rule to incorporate the alternative plan. A stakeholder process to develop options is already underway in Alaska, and the State informed EPA that it intends to submit an alternative transition plan in late 2001 or early 2002. This action will be in response to that anticipated submittal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Non-Conformance Penalties for 2004 and Later Model Year Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines and Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 206(g) of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to issue a certificate of conformity for heavy-duty engines or heavy-duty vehicles which exceed an applicable emission standard, but do not exceed an upper limit associated with that standard, if the manufacturer pays a non-conformance penalty (NCP) established by rulemaking. Three basic criteria are used to determine the eligibility of emission standards for NCPs. First, the emission standard in question must become more difficult to meet (e.g., through increased stringency). Second, substantial work must be required to meet the emission standard. Third, a technological laggard must be likely to develop. A technological laggard is defined as a manufacturer who cannot meet a particular emission standard due to technological difficulties, and, in the absence of NCPs, might be forced from the marketplace. This rule will propose that these criteria are fulfilled with respect to the 2004 model year non-methane hydrocarbon plus nitrogen oxide standard established in 1997 for heavy-duty diesel engines and heavy-duty diesel vehicles. The rule will propose specific NCPs available for manufacturers unable to comply with this standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes revisions to the existing Light-Duty On-Board Diagnostic Requirements, including revisions that will: (1) require vehicle manufacturers to monitor the catalyst for NOx emission performance in addition to existing requirements to monitor NMHC performance, whichever is more stringent; (2) require monitoring of the evaporative emissions systems for the presence of 0.020" leaks or greater and allow for non-intrusive, engine-off methods to perform monitoring instead of the current requirements to monitor for the presence of a 0.040" leak or greater during vehicle operation; (3) allow the use of the Control Area Network (CAN) Protocol (SAE 15765-4) for OBD communications in addition to the other allowable SAE (J1850, J1939) and ISO (9141, 14230-4); (4) new software and hardware changes to aid in OBD-I/M program implementation including adding vehicle dentification number (VIN) to the generic datastream, confining the physical location of the data link connector, and allowing the use of the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and a special key sequence to indicate readiness; (5) add new generic data stream parameters to aid in the repair and diagnosis of vehicle malfunctions; (6) require manufacturers to record critical pieces of OBD information under the CAP 2000 In-Use Verification Program (IUVP); and (7) establish new OBD in-use performance demonstration standards used to determine appropriate frequency of monitoring in the real world; such in-use performance standards do not currently exist which places a greater burden on our in use program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Relaxation of Summer Gasoline Volatility Standard for Denver/Boulder Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is relaxing the summertime volatility standard (Reid Vapor Pressure - RVP) for conventional gasoline in the Denver/Boulder area from 7.8 pounds per square inch ("psi") to 9.0 psi. This action is consistent with, and a result of, the actions EPA is taking to redesignate the Denver/Boulder area to be in attainment with the one-hour ozone standard and to approve the maintenance plan for the Denver/Boulder area. It is also consistent with past waivers that EPA has granted to allow 9.0 psi RVP gasoline in the Denver/Boulder area since 1992. EPA does not believe that this action will cause environmental harm to the Denver/Boulder area, or that it will adversely impact small businesses or state and local governments. The area has been in compliance with the ozone standard since 1987.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of Authority to Grant Alternative Method Approvals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, stationary source regulations cite specific test methods to demonstrate compliance. If a source locates a test method which will measure the regulated pollutant(s) with similar precision and accuracy to the method cited in the regulation, and would like to use the alternative method, the source must petition the EPA (along with data documenting the applicability of the alternative) to allow the alternative method. Each of these alternative method approvals by letter may currently only be granted to a specific source. Source category-wide approvals must be published for comment in the Federal Register. Due to budgetary and time constraints, the process constrains industry trade associations from developing and submitting alternative test methods. Therefore, the purpose of this rulemaking is to modify the regulations to allow source category-wide alternative method approvals to be issued by letter.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Specifications for Continuous Parameter Monitoring Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes Performance Specification 17 (PS-17), Quality Assurance (QA) Procedure 4, and amendments to Appendix F, QA Procedure 1. Performance Specification 17 and QA Procedure 4 apply to continuous parameter monitoring systems (CPMS). Many of the rules promulgated under 40 CFR part 63 require owners and operators of affected emission units to install and operate CPMS to monitor various parameters, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and pH, associated with the operation and performance of emission control devices. However, few, if any, of those rules specify complete procedures for ensuring the quality of the data measured by CPMS. The proposed PS-17 establishes procedures and other requirements that will ensure that those CPMS are properly selected, installed, and placed into operation. The proposed QA Procedure 4 specifies procedures that will ensure that those CPMS provide quality data on an ongoing basis. Both PS-17 and QA Procedure 4 will help to ensure compliance with emission limitations established under 40 CFR part 63. Procedure 1 of Appendix F currently addresses QA procedures for continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) that measure a single pollutant. The proposed amendments to QA Procedure 1 broadens the procedure to address the unique requirements of CEMS that are used for monitoring multiple pollutants. Because several of the regulations promulgated under 40 CFR part 63 require multiple pollutant CEMS, these amendments are needed to ensure those CEMS are operated in a manner that ensures the quality of the emission data collected. This action is not expected to have any impacts on small entities or State, local, or tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Propsed Amendments to Performance Standards and Monitoring Requirements for Particulate Matter at Stationary Sources</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would repropose some monitoring specifications that were originally included in an OSWER proposal to regulate air emissions from hazardous waste combustors (as explained further below). It revises several standards and requirements related to continuous emission monitoring systems for particulate matter (PM). These include: specifications and test procedures known as Performance Specification 11 (PS-11), and quality assurance requirements known as "Procedure 2". The proposed revisions clarify and update performance standards and monitoring requirements for facilities required to install and use continuous monitoring equipment to measure particulate matter emissions from stacks and ducts. The action does not change any emission standards or add any additional recordkeeping requirements. This action is a supplement to actions by EPA's OSWER that included proposed regulations for hazardous waste combustors. The first action was published in the Federal Register on December 30, 1997 (62 FR 67788). Recent OAR field studies have revealed needed revisions to PS-11 and Procedure 2. In view of the significant amount of time that has passed since the last proposal was published (December 30, 1997) and the significant amount of knowledge we have recently gained from our field studies, we believe that a supplemental proposal and another opportunity for the public to comment on PS-11 and Procedure 2 are appropriate. The need to do this reproposal only recently became evident, and we apologize for the short time between tiering and the expected proposal date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Source Review (NSR) Improvement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is to revise the CAA new source review (NSR) regulations, which govern the preconstruction air quality review and permitting programs that are implemented by States and the Federal Government for new and modified major stationary sources of air pollution. This rulemaking will deregulate -- that is, exclude from major NSR program requirements -- those activities of sources that, with respect to air pollution, have little environmental impact. The rulemaking will encourage pollution control and pollution prevention projects at existing sources. Control technology requirements will be clarified with respect to when and how they apply to sources that are covered. The action seeks to more clearly define the appropriate roles and requirements of sources, permitting authorities and Federal land managers and EPA in the protection of air-quality-related values in Federal Class I areas (i.e., certain national parks and wilderness areas) under the NSR regulations. State, local, and tribal permitting agencies will be given more flexibility to implement program requirements in a manner that meets their specific air quality management needs. Consequently, the rulemaking decreases the number of activities that are subject to NSR requirements and also expedites the permitting process for those sources that are subject to NSR. This action is designed to reduce the regulatory burden over all industries without respect to commercial size or capacity; therefore, it should have no detrimental impact on small businesses. This action also addresses several pending petitions for judicial review and administrative action pertaining to NSR applicability requirements and control technology review requirements. Regulations that will be affected are State implementation plan requirements for review of new sources and modifications to existing sources (40 CFR 51.160-166), the Federal prevention of significant deterioration program (40 CFR 52.21), and Federal restriction on new source construction (40 CFR 52.24). Finally, this NSR Improvement effort also includes a separate rulemaking (SAN 4390, Utility Sector New Source Review (NSR) Alternative Compliance Program), which will provide industries with the flexibility to focus more on existing pollution sources, with the goal of achieving as good or better environmental results than could be achieved by focusing strictly on new sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This effort was initiated to examine complaints from the regulated community that the current regulatory scheme is too complex, needlessly delays projects, and unduly restricts source flexibility. The goal of this effort is to address industry's concerns without sacrificing the environmental benefits embodied in the present approach; that is, protecting and improving local air quality, and stimulating pollution prevention and advances in control technologies. In 1996, this effort was considered far enough along to be proposed for public comment, and a proposed rule was issued. Thereafter, EPOA has conducted numerous meetings with interested stakeholders. More recently, the Agency has been conducting a review of the NSR program in response to a recommendation from the President's National Energy Policy Development Group. EPA is examning the impact of the NSR regulations, including administrative interpreataion and implementation, on investment in new utility and refinery generation capacity, energy efficiency and environmental protection. EPA plans to report to the President on the impact of NSR on the three areas mentioned above. At that time we will also make recommendations on whether improvements to the NSR program are needed to provide more flexibility and certainty, while ensuring protection of the environment. Many of the approaches proposed in 1996 to improve NSR are being considered as part of review recommended by the President's National Energy Policy Development Group.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[There are no applicable statutory or judicial deadlines for the NSR reform rulemaking effort. However, the rule will address three outstanding settlement agreements: CMA Exhibit B, Top-down BACT, and the applicability test for modifications at utilities (WEPCO).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In January 1996, EPA, as part of another regulatory streamling measure, merged portions of a separate rulemaking to implement the 1990 CAA Amendments with the Reform effort. The combined package was proposed in the Federal Register on July 23, 1996. On July 24. 1998, EPA issued another Federal Register notice seeking comment on two applicability provisions. On February 2-3, 1999, EPA convened a public meeting to listen to new stakeholder proposals for streamlining NSR applicability and control technology requirements. Stakeholder groups submitted written proposals during May and June 1999. Additionally, EPA conducted extensive stakeholder meetings as part of the NSR review recommended by the President's National Energy Policy Development Group. EPA continues to review the alternatives presented by interested stakeholders.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[From a cost perspective, the proposed rulemaking represents a decrease in applications and recordkeeping costs to industry of at least $13 million per year, as compared to the pre-existing program, based primarily on the fact that fewer sources will need to apply for major source permits. In addition, the cost to State and local agencies will be reduced by approximately $1.4 million per year. The Federal Government should realize a savings of approximately $116,000 per year. Additional cost reductions, which are difficult to quantify, will be realized due to the streamlining effect of the rulemaking on the permitting process, for example, the opportunity costs for shorter time periods between permit application and project completion and reduced uncertainty in planning for future source growth.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This is a procedural rule applicable to a wide variety of source categories. Moreover, it applies to criteria pollutants for which NAAQS have been established. This action is considered environmentally neutral. However, any potential risks are considered in the NAAQS rulemaking from a national perspective.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Method 207 to Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51 Method for Measuring Isocyanates in Stationary Source Emissions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 listed certain isocyanate compounds as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). The Agency does not have any published test methods that would measure air emissions of these isocyanate compounds from stationary sources. This action would add a validated test method to measure isocyanate emissions to appendix M of part 51. Test methods in part 51 can be adopted by any State for use in any regulation that requires the measurement of any of the isocyanate compounds on the HAP list. This action would not impose any new regulatory requirements that do not already exist. It should benefit State governments by providing them with a validated test procedure for measuring the emissions of isocyanate compounds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Three sections of the Clean Air Act and its amendments require State agencies to report emission estimates to EPA. Some of these sections contain obsolete wording, inconsistent instructions, and duplicate reporting requirements. This rule will consolidate the requirements into one area, eliminate obsolete wording, eliminate duplicate reporting requirements, and provide options for collecting and reporting data. There will be no impact on small businesses. State agencies will report point, area, and mobile source emissions statewide. State agencies will also report fine particulate matter and its precursors. The rule will provide for flexibility in collecting and reporting data.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expanded Definitions for Alternative-Fueled Vehicles and Engines Meeting Low-Emission Vehicle Exhaust Emission Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will ease the burden of certification for both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and after-market conversion entities. This action will, for vehicles and engines meeting LEV emission standards, broaden the definition of the term dedicated fuel system, broaden the criteria for engine families, and provide an exemption from certification fees. This action is not a deregulatory action. This action will provide another means for small business to remain active entities in supplying alternatively fueled vehicles to the market place. The above three changes are intended to reduce the cost of complying with the requirements of certification, and small business will benefit from these changes. This action will enhance the ability for the regulated industry to provide alternatively fueled vehicles to the consumer in support of the Executive Order 13031.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[There are currently 25 active domestic coke plants, 20 of which are furnace coke plants and 5 of which are foundry coke plants. Coke oven batteries used to produce metallurgical coke at these plants emit hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) such as coke oven emissions and polycyclic organic matter listed in section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This action will establish a National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for three specific operations associated with coke ovens, namely pushing, quenching, and battery stacks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Allowance System for Controlling HCFC Production, Import &amp; Export</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Stratospheric Protection Division currently oversees an allowance allocation system for the class I ozone-depleting substances. An allowance allocation system for class II ozone-depleting substances or hydrochloroflurocarbons (HCFCs) had not been established prior to 1998 because consumption figures had hovered around 80% of the cap imposed by the Montreal Protocol in 1992. The HCFC consumption figures for 1999 indicate that the US is within 95% of the cap; the figures for 2000 were in the low 90s. Since the US is in danger of violating this cap if high HCFC consumption rates continue into 2001, the system for allocating allowances must be in place as soon as possible in order to control HCFC consumption for all four quarters of 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title III of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 requires EPA to develop emission standards for each major source category of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). The standards are to be technology-based and are to require the maximum degree of emission reduction determined to be achievable by the administrator of the EPA. The EPA has determined that some plants may be major sources for one or more HAPs. As a consequence, a regulation (emission standards) is being developed for the polyvinyl chloride industry, to be promulgated by November 15, 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Phase I Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) To Reduce the Regional Transport of Ozone in the Eastern United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would promulgate Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) which require nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions decreases. The intended effect is to reduce the transport of ozone (smog) pollution and one of its main precursors -- NOx -- across State boundaries in the eastern half of the United States. On October 27, 1998, EPA published a final rule (the NOx SIP Call) which allowed States 12 months to develop, adopt, and submit revisions to their State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to address the transport problem. The Administrator is required to promulgate a FIP within 2 years of: (1) finding that a State has failed to make a required submittal or (2) finding that a submittal is not complete or (3) disapproving a SIP submittal. On June 22, 2000, the D.C. Court of Appeals assigned a new SIP submittal date of October 30, 2000. Eleven States (Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio) and the District of Columbia had not submitted adequate SIPs, as announced in a findings rule published on December 26, 2000. EPA is continuing to work with these States to assist them in adopting State plans that meet the requirements of the NOx SIP Call; 4 States and D.C. recently submitted fully approvable plans. (Note: The FIPs discussed here will apply to all elements of the NOx SIP call that were not remanded to EPA by the court on March 3, 2000. The portions of the SIP call that were remanded to EPA will be covered under Phase 2 SIPs, and if necessary, separate FIP actions will be prepared for those.)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CAA required the EPA to publish an initial list of all categories of major and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed in section 112(b) of the CAA and to establish and meet dates for promulgation of emission standards for each of the listed categories of HAP emissions sources. The wet-formed fiberglass mat production industry is not included in the initial list of categories for standards development but information available to the Administrator suggests that the industry is a major source of HAP emissions and, as such, emission standards shall be developed for this industry. The standards are to be technology-based and are to require the maximum degree of reduction determined to be achievable by the Administrator. The EPA has determined that the wet-formed fiberglass mat production industry may be reasonably expected to emit one of the pollutants listed in section 112(b) of the CAA. The purpose of this action is to pursue a regulatory development program such that emission standards may be promulgated for this industry. Emission standards for this industry were proposed on May 26, 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Reconsideration on the 610 Nonessential Products Ban</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action extends the current class I ban on the sale and distribution of nonessential uses of ozone-depleting substances where sufficient substitutes are already readily available. As part of the initial 1993 rulemaking, EPA banned the use of ozone-depleting substances in aerosols, pressurized dispensers, and foams where substitutes were available. Since that rulemaking was issued, the phaseout of production and consumption of class I substances has become effective and the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program under section 612 has been promulgated. The phaseout of newly manufactured class I substances and the identification of new acceptable substitutes for both class I and class II applications provide compelling reasons to reconsider the initial decisions regarding both product-specific exemptions and the decision to limit the ban's effect on major sectors that traditionally used ozone-depleting substances. Most domestic manufacturers have already incorporated the non-ozone-depleting substances in their products. The continued availability and use of ozone-depleting substances in parts and products manufactured abroad, which are sold or incorporated into larger products that are then sold into interstate commerce in the United States, negatively affects the competitiveness of domestic manufacturers who use substitute substances in their production. Therefore, it is appropriate to reconsider the applicability of the class I ban to both specific products and product categories. Amending these requirements would limit the potential use of ozone-depleting substances in applications where substitutes are available and thus, further protect the stratospheric ozone layer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes revisions to the Guideline on Air Quality Models, published as appendix W to 40 CFR part 51. Such models are used to predict ambient concentrations of pollutants for programs ranging from Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) to State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for controlling air pollution sources. Appendix W to 40 CFR part 51 fulfills a Clean Air Act mandate for EPA to specify models for air management purposes. This proposed rulemaking enhances appendix W with new and/or improved techniques.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Integrated Iron and Steel</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act, as amended November 1990, requires the EPA to regulate categories of major and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The EPA has determined that integrated iron and steel mills emit several of the 188 HAP listed (including compounds of chromium, lead, manganese, toluene, and polycyclic organic matter) in quantities sufficient to designate them as major sources. As a consequence, integrated iron and steel facilities are among the HAP-emitting source categories selected for regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Project is to develop a NESHAP for the source category which involves the manufacture of composite products involving thermoset resins and re-enforcements. Some of the specific products in the source category are tubs/showers, auto/truck parts, appliances, furniture, piping, construction materials, sporting goods using such materials, and intermediate compounds such as bulk molding compound and sheet molding compounds. The most common HAP in the resins used is styrene, which is present in polyester and vinylester resins as a monomer. Styrene is listed as a candidate urban area source HAP. So is methylene chloride, which is sometimes used for cleaning, and xylenes, which may appear in some mold release formulas. All HAP, except for methylene chloride, are also VOC's.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Provisions (subpart A) were promulgated on March 16, 1994 (59 FR 12408). The General Provisions create the technical and administrative framework and establish general procedures and criteria for implementing MACT standards. On May 16, 1994, six litigants filed petitions for EPA to review certain provisions of the General Provisions. Subpart B, the procedures for implementing section 112(j), was promulgated on May 26, 1994. In June, 1994 litigants filed petitions for EPA to review the promulgated procedures. As a result of the litigation, it is anticipated that a number of technical and administrative amendments to subpart A and B will be proposed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Paint Stripping Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA has determined that paint stripping operations emit at least one of the HAP's listed in section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act. As a result, the source category was included on the initial list of HAP-emitting categories scheduled for promulgation within 10 years of enactment of the Act. There are several emission standards for other source categories (for example, aerospace manufacturing and wood furniture manufacturing) that already address emissions from paint stripping operations. We are currently in the process of determining if there are any other major sources of HAP emissions from paint stripping operations that are not already regulated. Furthermore, HAP emissions from paint stripping operations that are area sources will be regulated in the future as part of the urban air toxics strategy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Tire Manufacturing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is a 10-year MACT covering the HAP emissions from the manufacturing of Rubber tires. The emission sources associated with the rubber compound mixing (banbury); extruding calendaring; building; curing and finishing are covered in this MACT. Forty-one facilities have been initially identified. This includes approximately 35 facilities of at least 10 tpy and 26 facilities of at least 25 tpy. Emissions are primarily associated with rubber processing and the use of HAP-bearing solvent and cements. Several facilities have eliminated through substitution much of the HAP-bearing solvent and cements. However, evaluation of the MACT and separation of the rubber processing emissions from HAP-bearing solvents and cement will reduce the number of affected facilities to about 30. In addition, the tire cord coating operations will also be included. Typically these facilities are separate non-colocated operations. The major pollutant associated with tire cord is formaldehyde. There are approximately 12 affected major facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Leather Finishing Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title III of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to develop air emission standards for facilities that emit any of the 189 hazardous air pollutants. This action will develop a MACT standard for sources involved in leather finishing operations. Facilities involved in these operations release over 1.7 million pounds of hazardous air pollutants per year. Regulation of these facilities will result in a reduction of the emissions of hazardous air pollutants, several of which are highly toxic.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Nonconforming Vehicles; Amendments to Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the regulations in 40 CFR part 85, subpart P to allow entry into the United States of vehicles which are originally sold in Canada and which are identical to their U.S. counterparts, without obtaining a certificate of conformity from EPA. This action is in response to a petition for review of import rules. The final rule also will address certain other issues in part 85, subpart P and subpart R, including: (1) formalizing a long-standing EPA policy regarding the importation of owned vehicles that are proven to be identical to a vehicle certified for sale in the United States (2) establishing new emission standards applicable to imported nonconforming vehicles; (3) clarifying the regulatory language that concerns exclusions and exemptions from meeting Federal emission requirements; and (4) providing several minor clarifications to the existing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

For such categories, EPA plans to develop a generic MACT standard for these source categories. Given the relatively few affected sources caught by the generic standard, the overall cost and environmental effects of this action are expected to be small, nationally.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petitions to Delist Hazardous Air Pollutants (e.g., MEK, EGBE, Methanol, and MIBK) from Section 112(b)(1) of the CAA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency has received 4 petitions to remove certain pollutants (i.e., methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethylene glycol butyl ether, and methyl isobutyl ketone) from the list of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) under Section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act. The Agency must review the petitions and either grant or deny the petition within 18 months of the date the complete petition was received. If the Agency grants a petition, a notice of proposed rulemaking will be published in the Federal Register, allowing the opportunity for public comment. If the Agency denies a petition, a notice of denial will be published in the Federal Register providing an explanation for such denial. If the Agency grants a petition and ultimately removes the pollutant from the HAP list then sources emitting such pollutants would not be required to meet MACT emissions standards for the pollutant. If on the other hand, the Agency denies the petition, then MACT standards would be issued as currently planned under Section 112(c) and 112(d) of the Clean Air Act for sources emitting such pollutants. Depending on the 4 individual determinations, the Agency will issue separate notices for each.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amend Subpart H and I, 40 CFR Part 61, for Emissions of Radionuclides Other Than Radon From DOE Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subparts H and I of 40 CFR part 61 establish limits, under the Clean Air Act, for radionuclide emissions (other than radon) from Department of Energy (DOE) and other non-DOE federal facilities. These Subparts require emission sampling, monitoring, and calculations to identify compliance with the standard. The current air sampling methodology required by the standards is embodied in ANSI-N13.1-1969, a consensus guidance document that is incorporated by reference in EPA's standards. That guidance was updated in 1999, and contains new technical recommendations (that differ from the 1969 version) for obtaining representative air samples. In this rule, EPA is updating subparts H and I to incorporate the new sampling guidance, ANSI-N13.1-1999, and require its use for new facilities and for those undergoing significant changes to ventilation systems. Existing facilities will be allowed to continue sampling in accordance with the current requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires development of emission standards for major sources emitting any of the hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in section 112(b) of the CAA. The EPA is proposing a rule to reduce emissions of toxic air pollutants from flexible polyurethane foam fabrication operations. Toxic air pollutants, or air toxics, are those pollutants known, or suspected, to cause cancer and other serious health problems. This proposal focuses on reducing air toxics emitted from two foam fabrication emission sources: 1) loop slitter adhesive use, which includes processes that use adhesives to bond foam to foam or to other substrates (i.e., cloth, foam, plastic, and other materials) using scorched or melted foam.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Phaseout of Chlorobromomethane (Halon 1011) Production and Consumption</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is amending its regulations for the production and import of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs). Through this action, EPA implements certain amendments made in 1999 (Beijing Amendments) to the Montreal Protocol (Protocol). This action implements the elements of the Beijing Amendments that add control measures for the chemical chlorobromomethane (CBM).  Consistent with the Beijing Amendments, this action adds CBM to the list of substances addressed by production and consumption controls of both the Montreal Protocol and EPA?s regulations under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). The action creates a new group of class I substances, places CBM in this new group, and, consistent with the Beijing Amendments, designates the value of CBM?s "ozone depleting potential" (ODP) as 0.12. This action establishes a phaseout of CBM production and import to be effective as of January 1, 2002. No allowances for production of CBM to meet "basic domestic needs" of Article 5 countries are provided in this action. Consistent with the Beijing Amendments, the action also bans trade in CBM with countries which are not parties to or in compliance with the Beijing Amendments. This action imposes recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with production, import, export, destruction, transhipment, essential uses and feedstock uses of CBM, but these requirements would not become effective until EPA?s information collection request has been finalized. The ban does not apply to CBM production for use as a feedstock or for destruction. The ban also does not apply to CBM imports for use as a feedstock or for destruction, or to CBM imports of transhipments and heels, as long as those imports are from countries that are a party to or in compliance with the Beijing Amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To meet the Clean Air Act's requirements, final regional haze regulations were published in the Federal Register on July 1, 1999 (64 FR 35714). These regulations include, in section 51.308(e), a requirement for best available retrofit technology (BART) for certain types of existing stationary sources of air pollutants. In the preamble to regional haze rule, we committed to issuing further guidelines to clarify the BART requirements. The purpose of this rulemaking is to provide those BART guidelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills: Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the existing regulation entitled Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, subpart WWW of 40 CFR Part 60, promulgated on March 12, 1996. The amendment is being undertaken in response to requests to clarify our intent regarding what constitutes an adequate landfill gas treatment system. This action also clarifies our intent to exempt from control landfill gas that is treated/upgraded to pipeline quality natural gas. Furthermore, it clarifies who is responsible for control of untreated landfill gas that is sold. This action is necessary to clarify our intent regarding the issues discussed above. It will improve implementation and compliance with this regulation. There are no internal issues involved with the proposed amendment, and we anticipate no significant adverse reaction related to this action from regulators or environmentalists. Industry may comment on the landfill gas treatment language but in general supports the amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Plan for Small Municipal Waste Combustion Units</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 directed the EPA to set emission guidelines for existing municipal waste combustion units (MWCs) under sections 111 and 129. On 12/19/95, the EPA adopted emission guidelines for MWCs under the authority of sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act. These emission guidelines covered all MWC units located at plants with an aggregate plant combustion capacity larger than 35 tons per day of municipal solid waste. Subsequent litigation cancelled the emission guidelines for small MWC units, but the Court directed EPA to adopt a new rule for small MWC units. This rule was adopted on December 6, 2000. This action is a follow-on activity to this rulemaking. In this proposed MWC Federal Plan for small units, EPA becomes the implementing authority in those instances where the state or local agency fails to submit a plan or a plan has not yet been approved. This action makes no changes to the rule and is intended to fulfill EPA's duty under pection 129(b)(3) to promulgate a Federal Plan as a gap-filling measure until the State fulfills its statutory obligations. When the State submits an approvable State plan, the Federal plan will no longer apply to units in the State.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The goal of the anti-dumping program is to maintain gasoline quality throughout the country. Without the program, as refiners produce cleaner, reformulated gasoline for certain localities under the Clean Air Act, they could take the chemicals removed and "dump" them into supplies of "ordinary" non-reformulated gasoline as a cost-saving measure. The anti-dumping program prohibits this. This rule amends the existing anti-dumping program to accommodate certain refiners with unusual data problems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would remove the requirement for sources to count fugitive emissions (such as equipment leaks) when determining major source status if they are in categories subject to standards under section 111 or 112 promulgated after August 7, 1980. Making this change removes impediments to full approval of permit programs in several States and facilitates compliance with a settlement agreement with environmental groups. This action was proposed in 1994 and reproposed in 1995, after which work was stopped due to other priorities. It is now being re-tiered because so much time has elapsed since proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This direct final rule (and concurrent proposal) corrects, amends, and revises certain provisions of the Tier 2/Gasoline Sulfur regulations to assist regulated entities with program implementation and compliance. First, it makes minor corrections to clarify the regulations governing compliance with the gasoline sulfur standards. Second, with respect to the low sulfur gasoline program, it removes the anti-backsliding provision of the Geographic Phase-in Area (GPA) program by establishing a flat GPA gasoline standard of 150 ppm sulfur. Third, it amends certain provisions of the Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) programs to assist domestic and foreign refiners and importers in generating sulfur credits and allotments. Fourth, it clarifies and amends certain downstream standards for parties in the gasoline distribution system to assist them with program compliance. Finally, today's action makes minor revisions to the regulations governing compliance with the vehicle standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of the Anti-Dumping Baseline Date Cut-Off Limit for Data Used in Development of an Individual Baseline</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA["Dumping" refers to the practice whereby refiners making clean fuels for certain markets (such as reformulated gasoline for clean-air purposes) take the pollutants removed from the clean fuels and "dump" them into other fuels they are producing for other markets. This, if allowed, would make those other fuels even dirtier than before, and so the Clean Air Act prohibits this practice. EPA has existing "anti-dumping" rules on the books that codify this Clean Air Act prohibition. This regulation is a minor technical amendment to those existing regulations. It would amend a portion of those regulations to allow the use of data collected after January 1, 1995 in the development of baselines, and it would establish a cut-off date of January 1, 2002 for the submission of all individual baselines under the anti-dumping program. This date is the same as that allowed for foreign refineries seeking a unique individual baseline under the anti-dumping program.)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of Minor New Sources and Modifications in Indian Country</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by the Clean Air Act's New Source Review (NSR) provisions, the EPA is proposing Federal regulations governing preconstruction permitting of minor and major stationary sources of air pollution in Indian country. Pursuant to the Tribal Air Rule, eligible Indian tribes may receive EPA authorization to develop and implement such programs. The Federal NSR permitting programs would be effective throughout Indian country and would be implemented by EPA if eligible Indian tribes do not elect, or do not receive authorization, to manage such programs. The proposed Federal minor NSR rule would require sources in Indian country, with certain exceptions, to obtain a permit prior to construction if they are: (1) new minor sources, (2) existing minor sources undergoing modification, or (3) existing major sources undergoing minor modification. The proposed rule also would allow new or existing stationary sources to accept enforceable limits on their production capacity or hours of operation in order to be considered minor sources and avoid being subject to other Clean Air Act requirements such as the title V operating permit program. The proposed Federal major NSR rule would require sources in nonattainment areas in Indian country to obtain a permit prior to construction if they are: (1) new major sources, or (2) existing major sources undergoing major modification. These rules would not impose any mandates on tribal governments to implement NSR permitting programs. Tribal governments may be affected, however, insofar as they own or operate sources that must obtain a permit from the EPA under the final Federal permitting program regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Major New Source Review (NSR) Program for Nonattainment Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act (Act) (title I, part D) requires that construction permit programs for new or modified major stationary sources of air pollution be established for areas not attaining the NAAQS. This action will add Federal rules at 40 CFR 52.10 for permitting the construction of new or modified major stationary sources in certain nonattainment areas where State, local, or tribal rules in whole or in part are not in place that meet the statutory permitting requirements. These rules will basically incorporate the requirements for State nonattainment NSR permit programs, codified at 40 CFR 51.165(a), with supplemental provisions added to make explicit the permit requirements of section 173 of the Act and certain long-standing policies regarding nonattainment NSR permitting. This action will also change 40 CFR 52.24 to specify that the requirements of 40 CFR 52.10 govern any permits issued in certain nonattainment areas where acceptable nonattainment NSR rules are not in place. Changes to 40 CFR part 124 will specify that the permit processing, public participation, and permit appeal requirements that otherwise apply to Federal PSD permitting will also apply, in most cases, to Federal nonattainment NSR permitting under 40 CFR 52.10.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Conformity Regulations; Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act prohibits Federal entities from taking actions which do not conform to the State implementation plan (SIP) for the attainment and maintenance of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). In November 1993, EPA promulgated two sets of regulations to implement section 176(c). First, on November 24, EPA promulgated the Transportation Conformity Regulations to establish the criteria and procedures for determining that transportation plans, programs, and projects which are funded under title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal Transit Act conform with the SIP. Then, on November 30, EPA promulgated regulations, known as the General Conformity Regulations, to ensure that other Federal actions also conformed to the SIPs. Since 1993, EPA has amended the transportation conformity rule three times in response to stakeholders' requests. The EPA is working on a separate revision to address transportation conformity in transitional areas which will be final by December 1998. The EPA has not reviewed or revised the General Conformity Regulations since their 1993 promulgation. Several Federal agencies have identified concerns over the implementation of the General Conformity Regulations, including the requirements for areas designated nonattainment for the newly promulgated NAAQS. In conjunction with an ad hoc work group of representatives from several Federal agencies, EPA will review the implementation of the General Conformity Regulations. The EPA will then propose and promulgate any appropriate revision to those regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Air Pollution Emergency Episode Requirements (Subpart H, 40 CFR Part 51)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[40 CFR part 51.150-51.153 require States to have contingency plans to prevent air pollution levels from reaching the significant harm level (SHL) for CO, O3, SO2, NOx, and PM. Appendix L provides example guidance to the States on appropriate courses of action to take at each episode stage (i.e., alert, warning, and emergency) to ensure the SHL is not reached. These requirements were developed in the 1970's, based on the NAAQS from that era. Since that time, ambient air quality levels have decreased nationwide. Today, many areas/sources that no longer need episode plans must still develop them. This rule would update and simplify the criteria used to determine which areas would require episode plans. Areas with no more than one exceedance of the Alert level over the past 5 years would not need to develop emergency episode plans. Sources with the potential to cause exceedances of the SHL due to a process/control equipment malfunction would need to develop source contingency plans to prevent (and to respond to) such malfunctions. Appendix L would also be revised to reflect the revised program requirements. The result will be a sensible, credible program replacing an outdated program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of EPA&apos;s Radiological Emergency Response Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) establishes a framework for timely, coordinated EPA action to protect public health and safety and the environment in response to a peacetime radiological incident. The original EPA RERP was approved in 1986. This new revision updates authorities, responsibilities, capabilities, and procedures for implementing effective radiological emergency response actions by EPA Offices. The RERP presents the EPA organizational structure and concept of operations for responding to radiological incidents as a participant in a Federal multi-agency response using the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) and the Federal Response Plan (FRP), and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). This revision incorporates recent changes to the FRERP and NCP, and many other policy updates. In short, this revision ensures that EPA maintains a comprehensive strategy to provide organized, effective assistance to State and local governments in the event of a radiological emergency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 129 of the Clean Air Act of 1990 requires the Agency to promulgate New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Emission Guidelines (EG) for solid waste incinerators. Section 129 specifically required the Administrator to publish a schedule for regulating Other Solid Waste Incinerators (OSWI). A notice published on November 9, 2000 announced that the Administrator would promulgate OSWI standards by November 15, 2005. The notice also listed what classes of incinerators might be covered by the OSWI standards. Standards will be set for the following pollutants: particulate matter, opacity, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, lead cadmium, mercury, and dioxins and dibenzofurans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 612 of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to identify alternatives to Class I and II ozone depleting substances and to publish lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes. Producers of substitutes must notify EPA at least 90 days before alternatives are introduced into interstate commerce. Unlike acceptable alternatives (see Notices), substitutes which are deemed by EPA to be unacceptable or acceptable subject to use restrictions must go through notice and comment rulemaking. Substitute lists are updated intermittently depending on the volume of notifications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Review of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for carbon monoxide (CO) every 5 years is mandated by the Clean Air Act. This review assesses the available scientific data about the health and environmental effects of CO and translates the science into terms that can be used in making recommendations about whether or how the standards should be changed. The last review of the CO NAAQS was completed in 1994 with a final decision that revisions were not appropriate at that time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to NOx SIP Call Emission Budgets for Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 27, 1998, EPA published a final rule (the OTAG SIP Call) making a finding of significant contribution and assigning statewide NOx emission budgets to 22 States and the District of Columbia for purposes of reducing regional transport of ozone and its precursor, NOx. Subsequent to the promulgation of the SIP call, EPA and the States of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island signed a memorandum of understanding that obligated EPA to propose to redistribute the budgets assigned to the three States in a different way. This action would carry out that obligation. This redistribution would not lead to an increase in the overall budget for the three States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interstate Ozone Transport: Rulemaking on Section 126 Petitions from the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In April through July 1999, 3 Northeastern States (New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware) and the District of Columbia submitted individual petitions to EPA in accordance with section 126 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Each petition specifically requests that EPA make a finding that nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from certain stationary sources in other States significantly contribute to ozone nonattainment and maintenance problems with respect to the 1-hour and 8-hour ozone standards in the petitioning State. If EPA makes such a finding of significant contribution, EPA is authorized to establish Federal emissions limits for the sources. The petitions rely on the analyses from EPA's NOx SIP call. The sources targeted by the petitions are large electricity generating units and large non-electricity generating units, as defined in EPA's NOx SIP call. The CAA requires EPA to take final action on the petitions within 60 days of receipt, but may extend the deadline for up to 6 additional months to allow for public process. The EPA took rulemaking action on similar petitions from 8 other northeastern States that were submitted in 1997.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rescinding Finding that Pre-existing PM10 Standards No Longer Applicable in Northern Ada County/Boise, Idaho</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA had previously taken action to revoke the PM-10 national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for the Boise/Ada County area in anticipation that a revised PM-10 NAAQS would soon be in place. However, the DC Circuit court subsequently vacated the revised PM-10 NAAQS, the effectiveness of which served as the underlying basis for EPA's decision to revoke the pre-existing PM-10 NAAQS. Therefore, in order to protect public health in the Boise/Ada County area, EPA is proposing to reinstate the pre-existing PM-10 NAAQS. Without this action there would be no Federal PM-10 NAAQS applicable to this area. This action is tentatively subject to the terms of a settlement agreement that was signed by all parties in January 2001. A Federal Register notice of the proposed settlement requesting public comment was published January 30, 2001 in accordance with section 113(g) of the Act. Written comments on the proposed settlement agreement must be received by EPA (Mike Prosper) by March 1, 2001. Unless EPA or DOJ determine, following the comment period, that consent is inappropriate the settlement agreement will then be executed by the parties. This action will then be fully subject to the terms of the settlement agreement.  No negative comments received. EPA/DOJ signed the settlement agreement and the State is in the process of carrying out its obligations under the settlement agreement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, EPA will revise the accelerated phaseout regulations that govern the production, import, export, transformation and destruction of substances that deplete the ozone layer. The amendments will incorporate exemptions permitted under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and recent changes to the Clean Air Act. Specifically, the amendments will create a process to exempt production and consumption of quantities of methyl bromide for critical and emergency uses from the 2005 phaseout of methyl bromide. Because this is an exemption, the rule will confer a benefit on affected entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry NESHAP: Amendment to Implement Court Remand</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry NESHAP was promulgated June 14, 1999, and has been codified in 40 Code of Federal Regulations 63, Subpart LLL. The Sierra Club and the National Lime Association petitioned the court to review subpart LLL, while the American Portland Cement Alliance (APCA) opted to negotiate a settlement agreement. (Note that there is currently a separate rule under development to amend subpart LLL to implement the settlement agreement with the APCA -- SAN 4524, RIN 2060-AJ57). On December 15, 2000, a panel of the D.C. Circuit issued its opinion in National Lime Assn. v. EPA. The Court remanded the three standards for which we established floors of no control (hydrogen chloride [HCl], total hydrocarbon (THC), and mercury (Hg)). The Court found that we committed error in not considering other means of control, in particular, control of HAPs in raw materials and in fossil fuels. The Court also remanded that we consider setting beyond-the-floor standards for HAP metals, for which particulate matter (PM) is a surrogate. This action will consist of amendments to respond to the court remand.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112 of the Clean Air Act requires major sources of hazardous air pollutants to achieve emission reduction based on the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). This regulatory action will establish this level of control for both new and existing sources in the nutritional yeast manufacturing industry. This industry is currently comprised of 10 sources of 5 different manufacturers located in 8 different states. The only known HAP emission from this source is acetaldehyde. It is produced as a by-product during the fermentation process. The final rule set maximum emission limits of acetaldehyde, which will be achievable by improved process control to reduce formation of this byproduct.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action develops National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for vegetable oil production facilities as authorized under section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (Act). The action is based on the determination that vegetable oil production plants emit organic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed in section 112(b) of the Act. On July 16, 1992, EPA listed vegetable oil production as a source for which NESHAP are to be promulgated. On December 3, 1993, EPA published a schedule for promulgating NESHAP for vegetable oil production plants by November 15, 2000. NESHAP developed under section 112(d) apply to both new and existing facilities. NESHAP for existing facilities are to be based on the average emission limitation achieved by the best performing 12 percent of existing sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act, EPA identified flexible package printing materials as a category of consumer and commercial products prioritized for regulation to reduce VOC emissions in ozone nonattainment areas. Section 183(e)(3)(C) gives EPA the authority to issue Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) in lieu of regulation if the Administrator determines that CTG are substantially as effective as regulation in reducing VOC emissions in ozone nonattainment areas. This action will put forward EPA's proposed determination under section 183(e)(3)(C).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identification of Additional Ozone Areas Attaining the 1-Hour Standard and to Which the 1-Hour Standard Is No Longer Applicable (7 Areas)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposes to identify several additional ozone areas where the 1-hour standard is no longer applicable.  This proposed action is based upon analysis of quality-assured, ambient air quality monitoring data showing no violations of the 1-hour ozone standard. Determinations for this notice were based upon the most recent data available, i.e., 1996-1998. The EPA has previously taken final action regarding the applicability of the 1-hour standard for other areas on June 5, 1998 and July 22, 1998.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Lightweight Aggregate Manufacturing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is required under section 112 of the Clean Air Act to develop maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards for various industrial source categories. The lightweight aggregate manufacturing industry is currently part of the clay products MACT source category. However, EPA is developing a separate MACT standard for lightweight aggregate in anticipation that the current clay products source category will be broken down into 4 separate source categories, including lightweight aggregate. The lightweight aggregate manufacturing source category will be proposed at the time the MACT standard is proposed. Lightweight aggregate kilns that burn hazardous waste are subject to the hazardous waste combustor MACT standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Reformulated Gasoline Adjustment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed regulation would allow CO reductions (associated with oxygen in the gasoline above 2.0 wt %) to be used to offset increases in VOC emissions. The change would allow gasoline that has ethanol as an oxygenate to have a slightly higher Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP), which would alleviate some cost burdens for complying with Phase II of the RFG program. The change would therefore address the concern of the ethanol industry that such gasoline would otherwise be locked out of the market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Aluminum Die Casting and Aluminum Foundries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The completed Secondary Aluminum Production NESHAP included some aluminum die casting facilities and aluminum foundries under its applicability. EPA has based its MACT standard for aluminum die casting and aluminum foundries, as well as its assessment of the economic impacts on small businesses in these industries, on information on representative facility practices provided to EPA by these industries to date. However, affected facilities in these industries have expressed concern that the information and assumptions upon which EPA has relied may be incomplete or may not adequately represent the processes and emissions at such facilities. Therefore, EPA will initiate a formal process to collect further information from the facilities in these industries on the activities in which they engage and the potential of these activities to contribute to HAP emissions. After evaluating this information, EPA will make a new determination concerning MACT requirements for both major facilities and area sources in these industries. EPA expects to adopt any alternative MACT standard applicable to these industries, and to take final action to remove the aluminum die casting and aluminum foundry industries from the current standard, within two years. Alternatively, if the information collected by EPA shows there is not a need to develop separate MACT requirements for these industries, then these industry sectors will remain under the coverage of the existing secondary aluminum production NESHAP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of Aluminum Die Casting and Aluminum Foundries From the Secondary Aluminum NESHAP and Applicability Stay for These Industries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the final Secondary Aluminum Production NESHAP, the EPA based its MACT standard for aluminum die casting and aluminum foundries, as well as its assessment of the economic impacts on small businesses in these industries, on information on representative facility practices available to EPA. However, affected facilities in these industries expressed concern that the information and assumptions upon which EPA has relied may be incomplete or may not adequately represent the processes and emissions at such facilities. Accordingly, in this action, EPA will issue a proposed rule to remove the aluminum die casting and aluminum foundry industries from the present secondary aluminum standard and to stay the applicability of the present standard to these industries while EPA reevaluates the MACT requirements applicable to such facilities. The EPA will also initiate a formal process to collect further information from the facilities in these industries on the activities in which they engage and the potential of these activities to contribute to HAP emissions. After evaluating this information, EPA will make a new determination concerning MACT requirements for both major facilities and area sources in these industries. Alternatively, if the information collected by the EPA shows there is not a need to develop separate MACT requirements for these industries, then the proposed applicability stay and removal of these industry sectors from the existing secondary aluminum production NESHAP will not be finalized.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act, as amended November 1990, requires the EPA to develop emission standards for each major source category of hazardous air pollutants. The standards are to be technology-based and are to require the maximum degree of emission reduction determined to be achievable by the Administrator of EPA. The EPA has determined that two plants in the ferroalloy production industry are major sources for one or more hazardous air pollutants. As a consequence, production facilities are among the HAP-emitting source categories selected for regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement with the American Chemistry Council that became final in August, 2000, EPA is to publish a proposed rule making minor revisions to the regulations on the certification of detergent additives in gasoline. The Settlement Agreement requires that EPA publish a notice of proposed rulemaking "as expeditiously as practicable." Publication of this proposed rule would fulfill this requirement. We expect that the proposed changes will be uncontroversial. Consequently, a direct final rule would be published as part of this action containing the regulatory changes in the proposed rule. The regulatory changes in this action would address additive manufacturer concerns that compliance with the existing requirements would be burdensome and difficult, while maintaining the emissions control benefits of the gasoline deposit control program. This action would not result in an adverse impact on small businesses. There would be no impacts on State, local, or tribal governments. There are no cross-media issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibitions on Gasoline Containing Lead or Lead Additives for Highway Use: Fuel Inlet Restrictor Exclusion for Motorcycles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Honda has requested that motorcycles be exempt from the filler inlet restrictor requirement. The burden for motorcycle manufacturers and owners is significant, and much of the air quality benefits intended by vapor recover nozzles are not realized when used to refuel many motorcycles. The Clean Air Act and corresponding EPA regulation prohibits gasoline containing lead or lead additives (leaded gasoline) as a motor vehicle fuel after December 31, 1995. The regulation also requires filler inlet restrictors on motor vehicles equipped with an emission control device that will be impacted by the use of leaded gasoline, such as a catalytic converter. Beginning with the introduction of Stage I vapor recovery fueling systems in the early 1990s, and continuing with current Stage II vapor recovery systems, the filler inlet restrictor has also been used as a guide, a seat and a pressure contact point for some vapor recovery gasoline nozzle spouts. Consequently, EPA retained the requirement for the filler inlet restrictor after 1995. As a practical matter, filler inlet restrictors are not feasible for most motorcycle fuel tanks, especially the saddle type of tank, because of limited depth. Typically motorcycles are fueled while the operator observes the tank fuel level, similar to refueling a gas can. The filler inlet restrictor obstructs the view of the fuel level, and could contribute to fuel spillage. Further, the filler inlet restrictor requires the nozzle spout to be inserted deeper into the tank, potentially causing increased splash back. This was not much of an issue in the 1995 and earlier time frame, because only relatively few motorcycles were equipped with catalytic converters, and thus, only relatively few required filler inlet restrictors. However, a significant number of 2001 model year motorcycles have been equipped with catalytic converters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is evaluating how its current policy with respect to the protection of human subjects in testing should be applied to testing not conducted or supported by the Agency. Current EPA regulations apply to research conducted or supported by the Agency or "otherwise subject to regulation." The action needed to give effect to the "otherwise subject to regulation" phrase has not been taken. In addition, EPA will seek public comment on issues related to Agency use of human research data in pesticide decisionmaking. EPA believes the process being initiated will serve two important Agency goals: ensuring the availability of sound and appropriate scientific data in its decisions, and protection of the interests, rights and safety of human research subjects. EPA may issue one or more documents, which may include policy statements, rulemaking or requests for public comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In July 1998, the Agency committed that EPA would not consider human research on pesticides in support of decisions under the Food Quality Protection Act revisions to FIFRA and FFDCA unless a policy were in place that could assure any such studies met the highest scientific and ethical standards. The Agency convened a special joint subcommittee of the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel and the EPA Science Advisory Board to advise on this policy. The subcommittee has completed its work. If deemed acceptable for consideration, some human research already performed could significantly affect the Agency's risk assessments of some pesticides. Clarification of Agency policy with respect to use of human data is thus needed.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA Policy Statement on Oversight of Transgenic Organisms (Including Plants)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a follow-up to the final Biotechnology rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) EPA intends to address TSCA oversight of transgenic plants and other organisms. Recent information indicates that transgenic plants and other organisms are being developed for uses which appear ot be subject ot TSCA jurisdiction. For example, plants are being genetically modified to produce industrial grade, rather than food grade, oils. Many of these plant are subject to oversight by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture while being tested in the environment. Following APHIS approval of a petition for nonregulated status filed pursuant to APHIS? regulations implementing the Federal Plant Pest Act at 7 CFR part 340, however, these plants cease to be subject to regulation by USDA. Additionally, transgenic animals that are not under the jurisdiction of FDA appear to be subject to TSCA. Such animals may be genetically improved livestock for commercial purposes. The policy statement would address whether EPA should exercise jurisdiction under TSCA over such transgenic organisms prior to their commercial use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final policy statement will set forth EPA's Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program and the procedures to be followed by regulated entities and the Agency. EPA published a proposed policy statement setting forth the Screening Program on December 28, 1998. In the final policy statement, EPA will describe the screens and tests that it will require as part of the Program. It also will address certain issues related to implementing the Program. The major actions in 2001-2003 will be the standardization and validation of assays in the screening battery and the completion of the priority setting system.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program fulfills the statutory direction and authority to screen pesticide chemicals and drinking water contaminants for their potential to disrupt the endocrine system and adversely affect human health.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The mandate to screen pesticide chemicals for estrogenic effects that may affect human health is the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) as amended in the Food Quality Protection Act (21 U.S.C. 346a(p)). FFDCA also provides EPA authority to require testing of substances that may have an effect that is cumulative to that of a pesticide chemical. Discretionary authority to test contaminants in sources of drinking water is in the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended in 1996 (42 U.S.C. 300j-17). General authority to test chemicals and pesticides is in TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2603) and FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136) respectively.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[A Federal role is mandated under cited authority. There is no alternative to role of the Federal Government on this issue to ensure that pesticides, commercial chemicals and contaminants are screened and tested for endocrine disruption potential. A limited amount of testing may be conducted voluntarily but this will fall far short of the systematic screening which is necessary to protect public health and the environment and ensure the public that all important substances have been adequately evaluated.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[It is too early to project the costs and benefits of this program accurately. However, as a rough estimate, the screening battery is estimated to cost $200,000 per chemical. It is also too early to quantify the benefits of this program mathmetically. The goal of the program is to reduce the risks identified in Paragraph 22 below.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Evidence is continuing to mount that wildlife and humans may be at risk from exposure to chemicals operating through a endocrine mediated pathway. Preliminary studies show decreases on IQ tests and increases in aggression in children. Severe malformations of the genitals of boys has increased steadily over the last two decades. Wildlife effects have been more thoroughly documented. Abnormalities in birds, marine mammals, fish and shellfish have been documented in the U.S., Europe, Japan, Canada, and Australia which have been linked to specific chemical exposures. Evidence is sufficient for the U.S. to proceed on a two track strategy: research on the basic science regarding endocrine disruption and screening to identify which chemicals are capable of interacting with the endocrine system. The combination of research and test data developed by this program will enable EPA to take action to reduce chemical risks.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticide Emergency Exemption Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will propose revisions to its regulations on emergency exemptions under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. Emergency exemptions allow temporary use of a pesticide not in accordance with registration requirements when emergency conditions exist. In the 1995 Presidential Reinvention Initiative, EPA identified a number of issues, which have been refined through informal discussions with States, user groups, and other stakeholders.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Stakeholders, including States and Federal agencies, have requested that EPA review its regulations for the FIFRA section 18 emergency exemption process. States and Federal agencies are the only applicants for emergency exemptions. Representatives of States have recommended modifications to the current process for application, review and approval of emergency exemptions. If adopted, the changes would reduce unnecessary burden to both applicants and EPA, expedite decisions on applications (which is critical in emergency situations) and potentially reduce risk to human health and the environment.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FIFRA sec. 18 authorizes EPA to temporarily exempt States from the requirements of registration to alleviate an emergency condition.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Several measures for streamlining or improving the emergency exemption process are being considered by the Agency. EPA has analyzed these measures and has received considerable comment, both formally and informally, from stakeholders. Since this rule generally constitutes regulatory relief, and is not expected to cause any economic impact, options with varying cost do not apply.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Because this regulation would provide regulatory relief, no costs are anticipated. Potential benefits include the reduced burden and cost to States and Federal agencies that apply for emergency exemptions, reduced burden to EPA, and, in some cases, reduced risk to human health and the environment. Indirect benefits may accrue to users of pesticides under emergency exemptions if changes result in faster review and approval, or greater availability of pesticides. No economic assessment of costs and benefits has yet been conducted.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[In general, the measures being considered are intended to achieve efficiencies and reduce burdens, not to reduce risks.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs); Exemption for PIPs That Act by Primarily Affecting the Plant</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering the addition of plant-incorporated protectants that act by primarily affecting the plant to its plant-incorporated protectants exemptions at 40 CFR 174. Substances which plants produce for protection against pests, and the genetic material necessary to produce them, are pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), if humans intend these substances to "prevent, repel or mitigate any pest." These substances are also "chemical pesticide residues" under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). EPA has determined that it will no longer issue split registrations for biotechnology products. Therefore, EPA is concurrently considering the exemption of plant-incorporated protectants derived through genetic engineering from sexually compatible plants from the requirement of a tolerance under section 408 of the FFDCA. Due to public interest and new scientific information, additional public comment on this proposal, originally published in 1994, was requested in a recent Supplemental Proposal (66 FR 37855).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Publication of the policy document "Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of Biotechnology" established a framework using existing statutes for inter-Agency regulation of biotechnology products. EPA began the process of establishing an internal framework for regulation of biotechnology under it's product-specific statutes through the finalization of the first set of plant-incorporated protectants rules. These rules are necessary to continue the development of and further define EPA's framework for regulation of products derived through biotechnology. The proposed exemption of plant incorporated protectants that act by primarily affecting the plant from requirements under FIFRA was originally published in 1994. At that time, it was not necessary to consider exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance under FFDCA simultaneously with FIFRA exemptions. Therefore, it will be neccessary to publish a NPRM proposing the FFDCA exemption before a Final Action on the FIFRA and FFDCA exemptions can be considered.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under FIFRA (7 USC 136 et seq) and section 408 of the FFDCA (21 USC 346a), EPA has the authority to require the registration of pesticides and to establish tolerances, or exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance as appropriate, of pesticidal residues in food. As EPA will no longer issue split registrations for pesticides, these decisions must be considered simultaneously.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) Pollutants Strategy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed National Action Plans under a national strategy to overcome the remaining challenges in addressing priority PBT pollutants. These pollutants pose risks because they are toxic, persist in ecosystems, and accumulate in fish and up the food chain. The PBT challenges remaining stem from the pollutants? ability to travel long distances, to transfer rather easily among air, water, and land, and to linger for generations. EPA is committing, through this strategy, to create an enduring cross-office system that will address the cross-media issues associated with priority PBT pollutants. This strategy fortifies existing EPA commitments related to priority PBTs, such as the 1997 Canada/U.S. Binational Toxics Strategy (BNS), the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, and the recently released Clean Water Action Plan. EPA is forging a new approach to reduce risks from and exposures to priority PBT pollutants through increased coordination among EPA national and regional programs. This approach also requires the significant involvement of stakeholders, including international, State, local, and tribal organizations, the regulated community, environmental groups, and private citizens. EPA is carrying out this strategy through the implementation of National Action Plans for Priority PBT Pollutants. EPA is initially focusing action on 12 BNS Level 1 substances either individually or as categories and two major cross-cutting issues (monitoring and outreach/risk communication). The action plans will use the full range of its tools to prevent and reduce releases of these substances. These tools include international, voluntary, regulatory, programmatic, remedial, compliance monitoring and assistance, enforcement, research, and outreach tools. EPA will integrate and sequence actions within and across action plans, and will seek to leverage these actions on international and industry-sector bases. Beyond these first 12 substances EPA will identify additional PBTs for development of National Action Plans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 402(c)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Title IV, EPA conducted a study of the extent to which persons engaged in renovation and remodeling activities in target housing are exposed to lead in the conduct of such activities or disturb lead and create a lead-based paint hazard. EPA must use the results of this study and consult with interested parties to determine which categories of renovation and remodeling activities require training and certification. EPA must then revise the training and certification regulations originally developed for individuals performing lead-based paint abatement under section 402(c)(a) of TSCA Title IV to apply them to the renovation and remodeling categories. If EPA determines that any category does not require certification, EPA must publish an explanation of the basis for that determination.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Childhood lead poisoning is a pervasive problem in the United States, with almost a million young children having more than 10 ug/dl of lead in their blood, (Center for Disease Control's level of concern). Although there have been dramatic declines in blood-lead levels due to reductions of lead in paint, gasoline, and food sources, remaining paint in older houses continues to be a significant source of childhood lead poisoning. These rules will help insure that individuals and firms conducting lead-based paint activities will do so in a way that safeguards the environment and protects the health of building occupants, especially children under 6 years old.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This regulation is mandated by TSCA section 402(c). TSCA Section 402(c) directs EPA to address renovation and remodeling activities by first conducting a study of the extent to which persons engaged in various types of renovation and remodeling activities are exposed to lead in the conduct of such activities or disturb lead and create a lead-based paint hazard on a regular basis. Section 402(c) further directs the Agency to revise the lead-based paint activities regulations (40 CFR part 745 subpart L) to include renovation or remodeling activities that create lead-based paint hazards. In order to determine which contractors are engaged in such activities the Agency is directed to utilize the results of the study and consult with the representatives of labor organizations, lead-based paint activities contractors, persons engaged in remodeling and renovation, experts in health effects, and others.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[TSCA Section 402(c) states that should the Administrator determine that any category of contractors engaged in renovation or remodeling does not require certification; the Administrator may publish an explanation of the basis for that determination.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA's quantitative cost estimates fall into four categories: Training Costs, Work Practice Costs, Clearance Testing Costs, and Administrative Costs. The estimates vary depending upon the option selected. In most cases we expect that requirements related to Clearance Testing and Work Practices will contribute the most to overall rule cost. The benefits analysis will not provide direct quantitative measures of each (or any) option. EPA does not have a complete risk assessment (with dose-response functions) that would permit direct quantitative estimates. We do have other data, such as estimated loadings of Pb generated by renovation work, number and type of renovation events, demographics of the exposed population, and the costs of various health effects previously linked to Pb exposure. With the available information we are able utilize several qualitative approaches to frame the benefits associated with an effective renovation rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[These rules are aimed at reducing the prevalence and severity of lead poisoning, particularly in children. The Agency has concluded that many R&R work activities can produce or release large quantities of lead and may be associated with elevated blood lead levels. These activities include, but are not limited to: sanding, cutting, window replacement, and demolition. Lead exposure to R&R workers appears to by less of a problem than to building occupants (especially young children). Some workers (and homeowners) are occasionally exposed to high levels of lead. Any work activity that produces dust and debris may create a lead exposure problem.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; ATSDR Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing a test rule under section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requiring manufacturers and processors of certain chemicals to fulfill data needs identified by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), the National Toxicology Program (NTP), and EPA pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 104(i). 

Under CERCLA, ATSDR is to establish a list of priority hazardous substances found at superfund sites, develop toxicological profiles for the hazardous substances, identify priority data needs, and establish a research program obtaining the necessary data. This action is a component of ATSDR's research program. 

Data from this action would provide specific information about the substances for the public and scientific community. The information would be used in conducting comprehensive public health assessments of populations living near hazardous waste sites. Scientific data improves the quality of risk assessments used by EPA, other Federal agencies, and State and local governments. The risk assessments affect standards, guidelines, listing/delisting, and other decisions affecting public health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation would establish Pesticide Management Plans (PMPs) as a new regulatory requirement for certain pesticides. Unless a State or tribal authority has an EPA-approved Plan specifying risk-reduction measures, use of the chemical would be prohibited. The rule would also specify procedures and deadlines for development, approval and modification of plans by States and tribal authorities.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPA proposed to make specific pesticides subject to the provisions of EPA-approved Pesticide Management Plans (PMPs) because of their strong ground-water contamination potential. The rule will establish PMPs as an other regulatory restriction and define the minimum requirements and procedures for developing, approving and managing PMPs. Upon promulgation of this rule, the labels of the designated pesticides will be changed to require use in conformance with EPA-approved PMPs, and to prohibit sale and use in States or Indian Country without such approved Plans (after a period allowed for development and EPA review of these Plans). A PMP is a State's or tribe's commitment to EPA and the public to manage the use of a certain pesticide in such a way as to avoid unreasonable risks to ground water that would otherwise warrant cancellation of the use. An approved plan will embody a combination of educational, scientific, and regulatory tools to fulfill the State's ground-water protection goals, developed through a process of public participation. A plan will include a process for disseminating this information to pesticide users and marketers, and for monitoring the effectiveness of the plan through the development of appropriate indicators of environmental improvement and/or protection.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) generally requires EPA to regulate pesticide use in such a manner as to prevent unreasonable risks to human health and the environment. Specifically, 7 USC 136a authorizes EPA to prescribe by regulation "other regulatory restrictions" for pesticides that may generally cause unreasonable risks to the environment (such as those that are associated with ground-water contamination potential) without those restrictions.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This Rule is a direct outgrowth of the Pesticides and Ground Water Strategy, published in October 1991 (after extensive consultation with States, localities, and other affected stakeholders). In publishing the Strategy EPA conducted an analysis of three different alternatives to the regulation of pesticides' ground-water risks. One option was to rely exclusively on orthodox national-level pesticide regulatory tools (tantamount to a "baseline"), which would entail tolerating or remediating a certain level of ground-water contamination. At the other extreme, outright cancellation of candidate pesticides with significant ground-water contamination potential was considered to provide full assurance that no further ground water contamination would occur (taking into account the high economic losses due to the removal of the pesticide from the market). The analysis concluded that a "partnership" approach, providing a mechanism for more tailored management of pesticide use (i.e., taking into account the prevailing influence of highly variable hydrologic "sensitivity" factors), would be simultaneously a more effective and least costly alternative.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA anticipates four categories of costs entailed in requiring PMPs.  Federal Program Costs are those of administering ground-water protection activities, such as the review of State or tribal proposals. State Program Costs entail both capital and annual costs. Registrant and user impacts are the economic losses ascribed to the reduced use of the classified pesticides, as well as the costs (to the registrants) of complying with Federal, State and tribal provisions. Benefits accrue from the reduced levels of pesticide residues in ground water, and a corresponding reduction in: (1) human and ecological risk (see below); and (2) threats to the economic and intrinsic values of the ground-water resource. Significant uncertainties attend the quantification of these benefits, however. Under EO 12866, OMB designated this as an economically significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of the Executive order because of its potentially significant impact on a sector of the economy.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The pesticides under consideration are those most frequently detected (sometimes at concentrations exceeding health-based reference points) of currently-registered Pesticides, and display physical and chemical characteristics associated with a ground-water contamination potential. The level of potential contamination (and related risk to both human health and the environment) represent a potential unreasonable risk to the environment in the absence of local management measures. State management measures are expected to avert these risks substantially. Because the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) requires that EPA consider drinking water as part of dietary exposure, the Agency is analyzing implications for this regulation.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticide Products; Labeling and Other Regulatory Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will specify antimicrobial registration reforms that will reduce to the extent possible the review time for antimicrobial pesticides. The regulation will clarify criteria for completeness of applications, and will specify or refer to a definition of the various classes of antimicrobial pesticide use patterns and the associated data and labeling requirements that would be consistent with the degree and type of risk presented by each class. In addition, the regulation will also include labeling standards for public health antimicrobial products. This regulation will also implement some general provisions of FIFRA pertaining to all pesticides, including labeling requirements. EPA intends to promulgate these last provisions separately from the antimicrobial portion of the proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs); Exemption for Those Based on Viral Coat Proteins</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering the addition of plant-incorporated protectants based on viral coat proteins to its plant-incorporated protectants exemptions at 40 CFR 174. Substances which plants produce for protection against pests, and the genetic material necessary to produce them, are pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), if humans intend these substances to "prevent, repel or mitigate any pest." These substances are also "chemical pesticide residues" under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). EPA has determined that it will no longer issue split registrations for biotechnology products. Therefore, EPA is concurrently considering the exemption of plant-incorporated protectants derived through genetic engineering from sexually compatible plants from the requirement of a tolerance under section 408 of the FFDCA. Due to public interest and new scientific information, additional public comment on this proposal, originally published in 1994, was requested in a recent Supplemental Proposal (66 FR 37855).]]></ABSTRACT>

EPA began the process of establishing an internal framework for regulation of biotechnology under its product-specific statutes through the finalization of the first set of plant-incorporated protectants rules.

        <RULE_TITLE>Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs); Exemption for Those Derived Through Genetic Engineering From Sexually Compatible Plants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering the addition of plant-incorporated protectants derived through genetic engineering from sexually compatible plants to its plant-incorporated protectants exemptions at 40 CFR 174. Substances which plants produce for protection against pests, and the genetic material necessary to produce them, are pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), if humans intend these substances to "prevent, repel or mitigate any pest." These substances are also "chemical pesticide residues" under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). EPA has determined that it will no longer issue split registrations for biotechnology products. Therefore, EPA is concurrently considering the exemption of plant-incorporated protectants derived through genetic engineering from sexually compatible plants from the requirement of a tolerance under section 408 of the FFDCA. Due to public interest and new scientific information, additional public comment on this proposal, originally published in 1994, was requested in a recent supplemental proposal (66 FR 37855).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead; Management and Disposal of Lead-Based Paint Debris</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, waste derived from lead-based paint (LBP) abatements is managed under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste regulations. Other Federal agencies (Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Health and Human Services) and several States and advocacy groups have expressed concern that the costs associated with the disposal of large volume architectural components (e.g., doors and windows) may interfere with abatement activities. EPA's Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances and the Office of Solid Waste have initiated a joint rulemaking to address the disposal of these architectural components. This rulemaking would develop disposal standards for these components under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) title IV, (the definition of abatement under TSCA title IV, section 401(1)(B), includes disposal). The TSCA regulations would establish appropriate disposal standards for LBP architectural components and identify recycling and incineration activities that would be controlled or prohibited. To minimize duplication of waste management requirements, EPA is developing a companion RCRA rule to suspend temporarily hazardous waste management regulations applicable to lead-based paint debris which will be subject to the new TSCA standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA regulates the commercial development of new chemicals that have completed premanufacture notice (PMN) review. In a PMN review, the Agency assesses whether or not a chemical's manufacture, import, process, distribution, use, or disposal outside the activities described in the PMN may present an unreasonable risk. EPA will issue Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) requiring 90-day notification to EPA from any manufacturer, importer, or processor who would engage in activities that are designated as significant new uses. Under the Expedited Follow-up Rule (EFUR) which became effective on October 12, 1989, EPA will identify such new chemicals and publish them in a batch SNUR 3-4 times per year. Chemicals that were subject to a proposed SNUR before the effective date of the EFUR or do not qualify under the EFUR, may be regulated individually by notice and comment rulemaking and are listed below.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These rules add chemicals to the list of chemicals and designated mixtures subject to the requirements of the Toxic Substances Control Act section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (40 CFR part 712). These chemicals have been identified by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, other EPA offices, and other Federal agencies, as well as recommended for testing consideration by the Interagency Testing Committee. Manufacturers and importers are required to submit exposure-related data (EPA Form No. 7710-35) on the chemicals. These data will be used to monitor the levels of production, import and/or processing of these substances and the avenues of human and environmental exposure to these substances. These data will also support risk assessment and test rule decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

In addition, the Interim Procedural Rules were amended to require certain petitioners to reapply for EPA approval to continue PCB activities previously approved by EPA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule (SNUR); Chemical-Specific SNURs To Extend Provisions of Section 5(e) Orders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[When the Agency determines that uncontrolled manufacture, import, processing, distribution, use or disposal of a premanufacture notification (PMN) substance may present an unreasonable risk, it may issue a section 5(e) consent order to limit these activities. However, such orders apply only to the PMN submitter. Once the new substance is entered on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) chemical inventory, others can manufacture, import or process the substance without controls. Therefore, EPA extends the controls to apply to others by designating manufacture, import or processing of the substances for uses without the specified controls as significant new uses. Under the Expedited Follow-Up Rule, which became effective on October 10, 1989 (54 FR 31314), EPA routinely publishes batch SNURs containing routine section 5(e) and non-5(e) SNURs. However, certain activities, such as modifications, withdrawals, revocations, and SNURs upon which comments are received in the direct final publication process, are subject to notice and comment rulemaking and are listed below.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Acrylamide; Prohibition on Manufacture, Importation, Distribution and Use of Acrylamide for Grouting</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 2, 1991, EPA proposed a regulation of acrylamide and NMA grouts based on the unreasonable risk associated with their usage. EPA's rule would prohibit the manufacture, distribution in commerce, and use of acrylamide grout. In February 1996, EPA reopened the record for 30 days to take additional comments, specifically to seek data on the relative durability of acrylamide and NMA grouts. The Agency has reviewed the comments and expects to promulgate the final rule in the Summer of 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA Inventory Update Rule Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the current Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory Update Rule (IUR) to require chemical manufacturers to report to EPA data on exposure-related information and the industrial and consumer end uses of chemicals they produce or import. Currently, EPA requires chemical manufacturers to report the names of the chemicals they produce, as well as the locations of manufacturing facilities and the quantities produced. About 3,000 facilities reported data on about 9,000 unique chemicals during the last reporting cycle under the IUR. Data obtained would be used by EPA and others to: better understand the potential for chemical exposures; screen the chemicals now in commerce and identify those of highest concern; establish priorities and goals for their chemical assessment, risk management and prevention programs, and monitor the programs' progress; encourage pollution prevention by identifying potentially safer substitute chemicals for uses of potential concern; and enhance the effectiveness of chemical risk communication efforts. Additionally, EPA will consider other amendments to the IUR. These include removing the inorganic chemicals exemption providing the information to better assess and manage risks of inorganic chemicals; improving the linkages of IUR data to other data sources to enhance the data's usefulness; and altering the confidential business information (CBI) claim procedures to reduce the frequency of CBI claims, allowing the public greater access to relevant information on toxic chemicals. EPA has held meetings with representatives of the chemical industry, environmental groups, environmental justice leaders, labor groups, State governments and other Federal agencies to ensure public involvement in the TSCA Inventory Update Rule Amendments Project.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[There are more than 75,000 chemicals in commerce listed on the TSCA Inventory. EPA faces the challenge of sorting through these chemicals to identify the ones of most concern, then taking the appropriate steps to mitigate unreasonable risks of those chemicals. The current IUR collects some key data, such as production volume, used to identify the chemicals of most concern. However, other exposure-related information is essential to more accurately identify the chemicals with the greater risk potential. Information on how a chemical is manufactured, processed, and used is needed to determine possible exposure routes and scenarios of these chemicals. This action will propose to modify the inventory update process to collect the exposure-related data necessary for an effective TSCA Inventory Screening program; the information will be collected in a format that makes the information easy to use to screen thousands of chemicals. A national report will make data collected via the amended IUR publicly available. This report will not contain any information claimed to be confidential.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Although data on the use of specific chemicals can be found in varying sources, there is no national, comprehensive, current searchable database providing consistent information on a wide variety of chemicals. EPA has examined alternate sources of the information including state information, Federal databases and privately collected information. EPA can find no information comparable to the data anticipated to be collected through amendments to the IUR.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA anticipates costs of this action to be well under $100 million for the first year of reporting. Total costs of this action depend on the amendments to IUR that are contained in a proposed rule. The amended IUR will assist EPA in screening chemicals in commerce and identifying those of highest concern; establishing priorities and goals for chemical assessment, risk management and prevention programs and to monitor their progress; identifying potentially safer substitute chemicals for uses of potential concern; and enhancing the effectiveness of chemical risk communication efforts.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This action will secure data on describing how chemicals in commerce are used; this data is essential to determine possible exposure routes and scenarios. Using these exposure estimates, EPA's toxics program will be able to better focus on chemical risks of most concern.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing health effects testing under TSCA section 4 in support of programs and activities required under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), governing Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). Section 112 of the CAA directs EPA to determine the risk to health and the environment remaining after application of technology-based emissions standards to major and area sources. Section 112 also sets forth a mechanism for revising and modifying the statutory list of 189 HAPs under section 112(b), and requirements for an accidental release control program. These data will also be important for the right-to-know program given the large release of these chemicals to the atmosphere. In order to implement these and other programs and requirements under section 112, EPA must identify the health and environment effects of potential concern from exposure to HAPs, ascertain the minimum data needed to adequately characterize those health and environmental effects, and assess the risks posed by HAPs. In addition, under section 103(d), EPA is required to conduct a research program on the short- and long-term effects of air pollutants on human health, ascertain the minimum data needed to adequately characterize those health and environmental effects, and assess the risks posed by HAPs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The TSCA section 8(e) Notice of Clarification and Solicitation of Public Comment would amend certain aspects of the 1978 TSCA section 8(e) Statement of Interpretation and Enforcement Policy (1978 Policy Statement). The 1978 Policy Statement describes the types of information that EPA considers reportable under section 8(e), the substantial risk reporting provision of TSCA, and describes the procedures for reporting such information to EPA. This clarification effort derives from a review of the existing section 8(e) guidance done in the context of questions raised by companies considering participating in the section 8(e) Compliance Audit Program (CAP). As a result of this review, EPA determined that parts of the 1978 Policy Statement concerning the reportability of information on widespread and previously unsuspected distribution in environmental media and emergency incidents of environmental contamination needed some refinement. The subject Federal Register action solicited comment on refined reporting guidance concerning widespread and previously unsuspected distribution in environmental media and provides additional circumstances where information is not reportable because it is considered known to the Administrator. Finally, the notice solicited comments on changes to the section 8(e) reporting deadline and reaffirmed the standards for claims of confidentiality for information contained in a notice of substantial risk under section 8(e).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is related to a challenge to industry on the eve of Earth Day, April 21, 1998, to come forward quickly with needed test data on high production volume (HPV) chemicals. This challenge encompasses approximately 2,800 chemicals which are manufactured (including imported) in the aggregate at more than 1 million pounds on an annual basis. The data needed on these chemicals are: acute toxicity, repeat dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity; mutagenicity ecotoxicity and environmental fate. This rule will require testing and recordkeeping requirements for certain chemicals for which industry does not voluntarily agree to provide testing in a timely manner. The action is part of the Chemical Right-to-Know Initiative, which is described in the Regulatory Plan. Industry has volunteered to conduct needed testing on over 2155 of these HPV chemicals. The first rule proposed testing for 37 unsponsored HPV chemicals with substantial worker exposure. The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on December 26, 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Chemical Right-to-Know Initiative; High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Chemical RTK Initiative was established in 1998 in response to the finding that most commercial chemicals have very little, if any, publicly available toxicity information on which to make sound judgments about potential risks. There are three key components to this initiative, each of which is being implemented by EPA. These are: collecting and making public screening level toxicity data for 2,800 widely used commercial chemicals; additional health effects assessment for chemicals to which children are substantially exposed; and the listing and lowering of thresholds for persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic chemicals reported to the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). This Initiative will involve several separate activities, with any regulatory related actions included as separate entries in the Regulatory Agenda.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Chemical Right to Know Initiative grew out of the finding of an EPA study that there is very little basic publicly available information on the health and environmental effects of even the most widely used commercial chemicals. Less than 7% of the 2,800 high production volume chemicals have a full set of baseline testing information readily available, while almost 50% have no public information whatsoever. The Chemical Right to Know Initiative is designed to close these information gaps, and to make both new and existing information available to the public.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[To the extent that rule-making is required to implement the chemical Right-to-Know Initiative, EPA will utilize the testing authorities available under TSCA and the chemical reporting authorities of EPCRA Section 313 (the Toxics Release Inventory).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Chemical Right-to-Know Initiative will rely on a combination of partnership programs and rule-writing to accomplish its goals. For instance, the HPV Challenge Program has asked industry to voluntarily provide both new and existing data on high production volume chemicals, while a series of HPV test rules would require testing of specific HPV chemicals of concern.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The benefits of the Chemical Right-to-Know Initiative are substantial, as no one in the environmental community -- whether in industry, government or the public -- can make reasoned risk management decisions in the absence of reliable health and environmental information. The cost of baseline testing is well-established, and runs about $200,000 per chemical for a full set of tests, for those chemicals on which data do not already exist.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead; Notification Requirements for Lead-Based Paint Abatement Activities and Training</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is issuing this rule under the authority of Section 407 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to establish notification procedures for lead abatement professionals (certified under 40 CFR 745.226) conducting lead-based paint activities, and training programs (accredited under 40 CFR 225) providing lead-based paint activities courses. Specifically, this rule seeks to establish procedures to notify the Agency prior to commencement of lead-based paint abatement activities as required by 40 CFR 745.227(e)(4). In addition, this rule seeks to establish provisions which would require training programs accredited under 40 CFR 745.225 to notify the Agency under the following conditions: 1) prior to providing lead-based paint activities, training , and 2) following completion of lead-based paint activities courses.  These notification requirements are necessary to provide EPA compliance monitoring and enforcement personnel with information necessary to track compliance activity and to prioritize inspections. This rule supports 40 CFR part 745, subpart L to ensure that lead abatement professionals who inspect, assess and remove lead-based paint, dust or soil are well qualified, trained, and certified to conduct these activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is requiring manufacturers (which is defined by statute to include importers) and processors of 38 chemical substances of interest to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to conduct testing for in vitro dermal absorption rate testing. These chemicals, and others, were designated for in vitro dermal absorption rate testing in the 31st, 32nd, and 35th Reports of the TSCA section 4(e) Interagency Testing Committee (ITC) to the EPA. Each of the chemical substances included in this proposed rule is produced in an amount equal to or greater than one million pounds per year. In addition, each of the chemicals in this proposed rule was identified in the National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES) has having a total potential worker exposure of greater than 1,000 workers. OSHA has indicated that it needs quantitative measures of dermal absorption rate in order to evaluate the potential hazard of these chemicals to workers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Tolerance Processing Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1996, the Food Quality Protection Act amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require EPA to charge tolerance fees that, in the aggregate, will cover all costs associated with processing tolerance actions, including filing a tolerance petition, and establishing, modifying, leaving in effect, or revoking a tolerance or tolerance exemption. Since 1983 (the last time a cost analysis was conducted), factors such as expanded data requirements, changes in risk assessment methods, improvements in data base management and tracking systems, and the increasing complexity of scientific review of petitions have resulted in costs substantially exceeding the fees currently charged. This rule will adjust the fee structure and fee amounts for tolerance actions. A Congressional provisions currently bars the Agency from finalizing this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will reassess pesticide tolerances and exemptions for raw and processed foods established prior to August 3, 1996, to determine whether they meet the reasonable certainty of no harm standard of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). FFDCA sec. 408(q), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). FQPA requires that EPA conduct this reassessment on a phased 10-year schedule. Based on its reassessment, EPA will take a series of regulatory actions to modify or revoke tolerances. Since such actions are issued on a chemical-by-chemical basis, this regulatory plan entry does not list the individual actions that are likely to occur under this program.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Substances that plants produce to protect themselves against pests are pesticides under FIFRA if humans intend to use them to destroy, prevent, repel or mitigate any pest. The Agency designates these substances, along with the genetic material necessary to produce them, plant-pesticides. This rulemaking will change the name of these pesticides to plant-incorporated protectants and will clarify the relationship between plants and plant-incorporated protectants and exempt conventional breeding and establishes a new part in title 40 of the CFR, part 174, which consolidates regulations specific for plant-pesticides in one part of the CFR. The proposed consolidation is expected to benefit the public by providing greater focus, enhanced clarity and ease of use. These actions may reduce burden on both the regulated community and EPA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will update the data requirements specifically necessary for the Agency to evaluate the registrability of pesticide products. The revisions will clarify all data requirements to reflect current practice. Procedural and explanatory sections of the current regulations will be amended to make them consistent with the revised data requirements and new use indexing. EPA intends to accomplish this revision through a series of proposals, covering different data disciplines and product types. This proposal is currently limited to product chemistry, and human health and exposure data requirements for conventional pesticides.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 mandates EPA promulgate regulations governing lead-based paint (LBP) activities to ensure that individuals engaged in such activities are properly trained, that LBP training programs are accredited, and that contractors engaged in such activities are certified. In addition, EPA must promulgate a Model State program which may be adopted by any State which seeks to administer and enforce a State Program. EPA promulgated regulations for training and certification of training programs for LBP activities and child occupied facilities in 1996 (see 40 CFR 745). Regulations for LBP activities in public and commercial buildings and bridges and other structures are still under development.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action initiates a regulatory investigation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 6 to determine if uses of lead (Pb) present an unreasonable risk to human health and the environment. The investigation will involve examination of the potential sources of human or other exposure to lead throughout the life cycle. Based on information gathered EPA may propose TSCA section 6(a) rules to control existing or new uses of Pb which pose an unreasonable risk to human health or the environment, and to explore the desirability and feasibility of discouraging overall consumption of Pb in general.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Voluntary Children&apos;s Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has held public meetings to involve stakeholders in the design and development of a voluntary program to evaluate commercial chemicals to which children may have a high likelihood of exposure. The purpose of the voluntary program is to obtain toxicity and exposure data needed to assess the risk of childhood exposure to commercial chemicals. EPA launched a pilot of this program on December 26, 2000. Manufacturers of 20 of the 23 pilot chemicals have volunteered to sponsor their chemicals in tier 1 in the pilot. If an adequate voluntary children's chemical evaluation program fails to emerge from the stakeholder involvement process, EPA may proceed with development of a test rule under section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Certain Metals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing a test rule under section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requiring manufacturers and processors of certain metals to fill data needs identified by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), the National Toxicology Program (NTP), and EPA pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 104(I). Under CERCLA, ATSDR is to establish a list of priority hazardous substances found at superfund sites, develop toxicological profiles for the hazardous substances, identify priority data needs, and establish a research program obtaining the necessary data. This action is a component of ATSDR's research program. Data from this action would provide specific information about the substances for the public and scientific community. The information would be used in conducting comprehensive public health assessments of populations living near hazardous waste sites. Scientific data improves the quality of risk assessments used by EPA, other Federal agencies, and State and local governments. The risk assessments affect standards, guidelines, listing/delisting, and other decisions affecting public health and the environment. The metals are also hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112. Data from this action would also be used to implement several provisions of section 112 of the CAA, including determining risks remaining after the application of technology based on standards under section 112(d) of the CAA, estimating the risks associated with accidental releases, and determining whether or not substances should be removed from the CAA section (b)(1) list of HAPs (delisting).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice of proposed rulemaking that was published on December 6, 1994, covered the manufacture (including import), processing, distribution in commerce, export use, disposal, and marking of PCBs. On June 29, 1998, EPA issued a final rule involving the disposal related provisions. Other provisions, e.g., certain use authorizations and import provisions, were to be addressed in separate actions. This rulemaking addresses a use authorization for certain non-liquid PCB applications, which although currently in use have never been authorized under the PCB regulations at 40 CFR part 761.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Toxic Substances Control Act Test Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has established a unified library for test guidelines issued by the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) for use in testing chemical substances to develop data for submission to EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). These test guidelines represent an Agency effort that began in 1991 to harmonize the test guidelines within OPPTS, as well as to harmonize the OPPTS test guidelines with those of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The process for developing and amending these test guidelines includes public participation and the extensive involvement of the scientific community, including peer review by the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel, the Agency?s Science Advisory Board (SAB) and other expert scientific organizations. In order to ensure that there is an enforceable test standard for use in a test rule promulgated under section 4 of TSCA, EPA must promulgate the test guideline in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The TSCA test guidelines are consistent with those established as part of the OPPTS harmonized effort, and codification of the guideline does does not by itself impose obligations on any person. Obligations are only imposed when the guideline is subsequently cross referenced in a specific test rule promulgated under section 4 of TSCA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency will use these guidelines to evaluate suspect carcinogens in line with the policies and procedures established in the statutes administered by the EPA. These guidelines revise and replace EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment published at 51 FR 33992, September 24, 1986. These guidelines provide EPA staff and decision-makers with the directions and perspectives necessary to develop and use risk assessments. The guidelines also provide the general public with basic information about the Agency's approaches to risk assessment. 

To develop guidelines the Agency must find a balance between consistency and innovation. Consistent risk assessments provide consistent bases to support regulatory decision-making. On the other hand, innovation is necessary so the Agency will base its decisions on current scientific thinking. In balancing these and other science policies, the Agency relies on input from the general scientific community through established scientific peer review processes. The guidelines incorporate basic principles and science policies based on evaluation of the currently available information. The revisions place increased emphasis on the role of carcinogenic mechanisms in risk assessment and clearer explication of underlying assumptions in risk assessment. 

These guidelines will have minimal to no impact on small businesses or State, local, and tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Incentives for the National Environmental Achievement Track Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Environmental Achievement Track is designed to recognize facilities that consistently meet their legal requirements and have implemented high-quality environmental management systems, and to encourage them to achieve more by continuously improving their environmental performance and informing and involving the public. Facilities gain entrance to Achievement Track by submitting an application that documents that four specific criteria are met. To promote participation in the program and the environmental and other benefits that will come with it, EPA intends to offer several incentives. Among those incentives are the adjustments in current regulatory requirements that are the subjects of this rulemaking. These include reducing the frequency of reports required under the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) provisions of the Clean Air Act; streamlined by publically owned treatment works (POTWs) under the Clean Water Act; and opportunity for Achievement Track facilities to consolidate reporting under various environmental statutes into a single report.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Administrator of EPA has announced the National Environmental Performance Track Program, of which the Achievement Track program is the first element to be implemented. By identifying facilities that have better environmental performance than others, and by requiring them to commit to goals for sustained improvements, EPA expects the environment to greatly benefit: Facilities that are able to qualify for the program will make a public commitment to reducing specific aspects of their impacts on the environment, and the program is likely to induce other facilities to make changes in their operations that will bring about analogous reductions in their environmental impacts. In order to attract significant numbers of facilities, Achievement Track will provide incentives for joining, in the form of substantial benefits to the facilities that qualify. EPA is considering alterations in reporting and other requirements (to be available only to Achievement Track facilities) that would be made available as a result of this rulemaking. Extensive input (written comments and several public meetings) from stakeholders has convinced EPA that benefits such as these are crucial to achieving the intended environmental benefits of the Achievement Track program.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[All of the modifications under consideration are modifications of existing regulations, promulgated over the past several years under statutes that include the CAA, CWA, EPCRA, SDWA, and others. Within these statutes, EPA has discretion to set reporting frequencies, the contents of reports, monitoring, and other specifics, based on an assessment of the need for information to implement the statutes.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Deliberations within the Agency, and among stakeholders and EPA, have convinced EPA that a full and robust set of incentives is crucial to the successful implementation of Achievement Track. EPA developed a list of over forty different candidate incentives, and discussed many of these during a set of public meetings held during the design phase of the National Environmental Performance Track. Several incentives can be implemented through EPA administrative actions, but some potential incentives would require changes in existing regulations. The specific incentives being considered here resulted from intense analysis and debate within EPA and the Administrator's judgment that they contribute to achieving the program's aims. During the rulemaking process, EPA will consider various alternatives for these incentives, ranging from substantial changes in reporting frequency and content to no changes. EPA is also considering initiating rulemaking on other incentives beyond the ones discussed here.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Overall, EPA expects there to be a net reduction in compliance costs for facilities that participate in Achievement Track. Facilities would have direct reductions in the efforts required to collect, summarize and report various data elements, and would potentially benefit from a streamlining of their environmental reporting information systems and from an integration of those data systems into company environmental management systems. EPA and some State regulatory authorities are likely to see modest increases in workload (and therefore in costs), mostly in the revising permits. This effect would be moderated by the fact that only a fraction of regulated facilities are expected to qualify for Achievement Track. Finally, because Achievement Track is designed to induce environmental improvements among those facilities that seek and obtain entrance to the program, EPA anticipates tangible environmental benefits to be realized.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risks of the intended rulemaking appear minimal. The criteria and the screening process for Achievement Track will identify and admit only facilities that operate significantly above the norm of other facilities. Because facilities must carry out their Achievement Track actions in the public spotlight, and because EPA expects that facilities will strive to stay qualified for the program, there is only a very small likelihood that mistakes would be made, and any such mistakes could easily be reversed. The actions being contemplated in this rulemaking entail mostly reporting changes, not substantive changes in permitted release rates or other actions that would directly impinge on the environment. All of these factors serve to limit the risks to the environment from the intended rulemaking.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Jersey Gold Track Project XL Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Gold Track Program is a crucial part of NJDEP's efforts to create a State-run tiered performance-based program. Currently, facilities may join NJDEP's Silver Track Program, which is a lower-level tier that provides recognition for commitments to a certain level of environmental enhancement. Gold Track expands upon these environmental commitments, and offers proportionally greater recognition, as well as actual Federal regulatory flexibility to participating facilities. NJDEP is partnering with EPA in the Gold Track effort under the XL program, so as to be able to offer Federal regulatory flexibility to Gold Track participants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for Anne Arundel County Millersville Landfill, Severn, Maryland</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Anne Arundel County proposes to demonstrate that a bioreactor with an alternative liner system is as effective, or superior to a bioreactor with the standard composite liner currently allowed by regulations. The main goal of this project is to deliver superior environmental performance (SEP) by capturing the additional airspace gained by accelerated decomposition of the waste. This benefits the County and its citizens by prolonging the life of the landfill and thereby postponing the siting of new solid waste management facilities, with their attendant social impacts, environmental impacts, and economic costs. Environmental benefits of this project include: (1) reduced need for construction of new landfills and corresponding reduction (or elimination) of the land, air, and water impacts associated with landfill construction; (2) decreased concentration of most leachate constituents as cycling of leachate removes or reduces contaminants; (3) reduction in the amount of leachate requiring pretreatment; (4) reduction in the amount of leachate that the facility discharges to the local wastewater treatment plant, and subsequent discharge of effluent to the Patuxent River; and (5) reduction in post-closure care, maintenance and risk (bioreactor landfills minimize long-term environmental risk and liability due to the controlled settlement of the solid waste during landfill operation, low potential for leachate migration into the subsurface environment, and the recovery of landfill gas during operation).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for Implementing Waste Treatment Systems at Two Virginia Landfills</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Virginia Landfills XL project includes two solid waste municipal landfills (SWMLF) operated by subsidiaries of Waste Management Inc. (WMI): Maplewood Recycling and Waste Disposal Facility is located in Amelia County, Virginia, approximately 30 miles southwest of Richmond, and King George County Landfill and Recycling Center is located approximately 50 miles north-northeast of Richmond. Both landfills accept municipal solid waste and a small percentage of biodegradable products (e.g., construction debris). Through this XL project, the Maplewood and King George landfills propose to implement two variations of bioreactor landfill systems and compare the relative improvement in landfill performance at the two different bioreactor project sites. In a bioreactor landfill, controlled quantities of liquids are added and circulated through waste to accelerate the natural biodegradation rate of waste and therefore decrease the waste stabilization and composting time compared to a conventional landfill. The Maplewood bioreactor will recirculate liquids (primarily leachate) generated at the facility. The King George bioreactor will recirculate facility-generated leachate plus other liquids, such as non-hazardous liquid waste or storm water. These activities collectively should decrease emissions of landfill gas, accelerate waste decomposition, improve leachate quality, and increase the waste capacity of the existing landfills.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for Andersen Corporation?s Facility in Bayport, Minnesota</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would implement a project under the Project XL program for the Andersen Corporation facility located in Bayport, Minnesota. The terms of the project are defined in a draft Final Project Agreement (FPA) which is being made available for public review and comment by the Federal Register notice. The proposed site-specific rule, applicable only to the Andersen Bayport facility, would facilitate implementation of the project. Through the notice, EPA solicits comment on the proposed rule, the draft FPA, and the project generally. The proposed site-specific rule is intended to provide regulatory changes under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) to implement Andersen?s XL project, which will result in superior environmental performance and, at the same time, provide Andersen with greater operational flexibility. The proposed site-specific rule would change some of the CAA requirements which apply to the Andersen Bayport facility for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program, in particular existing synthetic minor limits that apply to some VOC sources in the Bayport facility. Synthetic minor limits are operational and control limitations which serve to limit the net emissions increase associated with proposed new or modified units or systems to less than the applicable significance level and thereby keep them out of PSD review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for the IBM Semiconductor Manufacturing Facility in Hopewell Junction, New York</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking provides a site-specific exclusion from the regulatory definition of solid waste for certain wastewater treatment sludges (otherwise designated as Hazardous Waste No. F006) when they are used as ingredients in the production of cement. Without this exclusion, the sludges being legitimately recycled as substitutes for raw materials would remain subject to hazardous waste regulatory requirements, including the need for a storage permit by the cement manufacturer, which is a major disincentive to recycling the sludges in this manner. This XL project tests the presumption that these sludges can be safely recycled without regulatory oversight. Because this is a site-specific rulemaking, there will be no impact on small businesses, and there are no local tribal governments affected. The State regulatory agency has been involved in the project and approves of the rulemaking. The local governments and citizen groups have been involved in the project development and no opposition has been raised.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for Georgia-Pacific Corporation&apos;s Facility in Big Island, Virginia</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Project XL program, the EPA is supporting a project for the Georgia-Pacific Corporation facility located in Big Island, Virginia. The EPA is promulgating this rule, applicable only to the Georgia-Pacific Big Island facility, to help implement the project. Under the XL project, Georgia-Pacific will install and operate the first commercial scale black liquor gasification system in the United States. This system will provide superior air emissions reductions and energy benefits compared to use of conventional recovery technology for black liquor in the pulp and paper industry. However, since this will be the first commercial scale demonstration of this technology, there is some risk that the technology will take longer than planned to work properly or may not ever work properly. If either of these scenarios happens, Georgia-Pacific requires relief from otherwise applicable air emission standards to allow time for the new technology to achieve expected performance or, in the event of failure, to allow time for Georgia-Pacific to build conventional recovery technology that will meet applicable standards. Without this relief, Georgia-Pacific would not undertake commercialization of this promising technology. Therefore, this rule provides relief (in the form of limited duration compliance extensions)from otherwise applicable hazardous air pollutant emission standards, as needed during the conduct of the XL project. The specific standard amended by this rule is: Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfate, and Stand-Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency is revising its 1981 Public Participation Policy. The revised policy is being issued as the Draft 2000 Public Involvement Policy for 120-day public comment. The Draft Policy was updated to reflect changes over the past nineteen years such as additional Agency responsibilities, new regulations, expanded public involvement techniques, and the changed nature of public access due to the Internet. The Policy will provide guidance and direction to EPA officials on reasonable and effective means to involve the public in its regulatory and program decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for Weyerhaeuser Company Flint River Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) which concern the control of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from the pulp and paper industry. The proposed revisions would apply only to the Weyerhaueser Company's Flint River Operations in Ogelthorpe, GA . The revisions are proposed as one of EPA's steps to implement the Final Project Agreement for Weyerhaueser Company's XL Project. The intended effect of proposing these revisions is to regulate emissions of HAP's in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 and to facilitate implementation of Project XL at Weyerhaueser. The implementation will result in superior environmental performance and provide Weyerhaueser with greater operational flexibility. The rule will provide for reductions in HAP emissions, measured as methanol.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for the US Filter Recovery Services, Roseville, Minnesota, and Approved Generators and Transporters of USFRS XL Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing this rule to implement a project under the Project XL program that would provide regulatory flexibility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended for the US Filter Recovery Services (USFRS) facility located at 2430 Rose Place, Roseville, Minnesota, 55113 and approved Minnesota generators and transporters of wastes from the use of USFRS's waste water treatment ion exchange resins. The principal objective of this USFRS XL Project is to pilot a flexible, performance-based system for managing waste waters from electroplaters, metal finishers and similar industries who by virtue of their using USFRS water treatment ion exchange resins generate electroplating sludges which are regulated hazardous wastes. To achieve this, today's proposed rule would provide regulatory flexibility to allow approved generators and transporters of USFRS's water treatment ion exchange resin wastes to replace existing requirements for hazardous waste generators and transporters with a comprehensive program designed and implemented by USFRS to properly store and transport the USFRS water treatment ion exchange resins. The overall terms of this XL project are contained in the draft Final Project Agreement (FPA).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for Yolo County Landfill, Davis, Yolo County, California</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Yolo County proposed a project under EPA?s Project XL to use certain bioreactor techniques at its municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF), specifically the recirculation of leachate and the addition of bulk or non-containerized liquid wastes into the landfill to accelerate the biodegradation of landfill waste and decrease the time it takes for the waste to stabilize in the landfill. The principal objective of this bioreactor XL project is to evaluate waste decomposition rates when leachate is supplemented with other liquid additions. In order to carry out this project, Yolo County would need relief from certain requirements in EPA regulations which set forth operating criteria for MSWLFs and preclude the addition of bulk or non-containerized liquid wastes. This proposal to allow addition of liquid wastes will apply only to Phase One in Module D. The Yolo County bioreactor project is one of several bioreactor XL projects currently being considered by EPA. Proponents of bioreactor technology note that operation of MSWLFs as bioreactors provide a number of environmental benefits, including: (1) increasing the rate of waste decomposition, which in turn would extend the operating life of the landfill and lessen the need for additional landfill space or other disposal options; (2) decreasing, or even eliminating, the quantity, and increasing the quality, of leachate requiring treatment and offsite disposal, leading to decreased risks and costs associated with leachate management, treatment and disposal; (3) reduced post-closure care costs and risks, due to the accelerated, controlled settlement of the solid waste during landfill operation; (4) lower long term potential for leachate migration into the subsurface environment; and (5) opportunity for recovery of methane gas for energy production.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Notice of Proposed Rule for Autoliv Inc. Site-Specific Rulemaking</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By publishing this document in the Federal Register, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) solicits comment on the proposed rule which has been drafted to implement the Autoliv XL project that is expected to produce superior environmental performance. EPA is proposing to implement this project under the Project XL program in order to provide site-specific regulatory flexibility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), for the Autoliv ASP Inc.(Autoliv) facility in Promontory, Utah. The principal objective of this XL Project is to explore the benefits of a more streamlined and flexible RCRA regulation of pyrotechnic hazardous wastes from the automobile airbag industry that are treated in industrial furnaces. The terms of the project are defined in the Final Project Agreement (FPA) which was made available for public review and comments through a Federal Register notice on August 14, 2000 (Volume 65, Number 157 [FRL-6846-7]) and signed on September 20, 2000 by Autoliv, Box Elder County, the state of Utah, and EPA. The facility will continue to comply with certain general RCRA conditions on facility operations, as described in this site-specific rule for the Autoliv Facility and any applicable state of Utah regulations. EPA anticipates that this project will provide information on how to develop alternative approaches to handling pyrotechnic waste. This information would be useful to EPA in learning more about alternative treatment approaches for airbag manufacturing wastestreams. This proposed rule will not in any way impact the provisions or applicability of any other existing or future regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

This new AIDAR part will also provide for contractual coverage of Rights in Data in USAID's contracts performed overseas and awarded to U.S. organizations, provide guidance on Rights in Data coverage for overseas contracts with non-U.S. entities, and provide an alternate paragraph to add to the applicable FAR clause to reserve USAID's right to restrict release of data when release may negatively impact the Government's development or diplomatic relationship with the cooperating countries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Handicap, and Age in Programs and Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency for International Development proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Department's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration Exemptions Pertaining to the Offer and Sale of Foreign Futures and Foreign Options Contracts to Customers Located in the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposes to codify some of the interpretations and positions that its staff has taken regarding registration requirements under Part 30 of the Commission's rules, which governs, generally, the solicitation and sale of foreign futures and foreign options contracts to customers located in the United States. The Commission proposes to modify Rule 30.4(a) by clarifying that foreign futures and options brokers, including those with U.S. bank branches, are not required to register as futures commission merchants (FCMs) pursuant to Rule 30.4, or seek Rule 30.10 relief, if they fall generally into the following categories: (1) those that carry customer omnibus accounts for U.S. FCMs; (2) those that carry U.S. affiliate accounts that are proprietary to the foreign futures and options broker; and (3) those that carry U.S. accounts that are proprietary to a U.S. FCM. In addition, proposed Rule 30.10(a) will specify representations that must be made by a foreign futures and options broker that has U.S. bank branches in order to obtain a Rule 30.10 comparability exemption or to come within the registration exception of Rule 30.4.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is proposing rules to permit a registered derivatives transaction execution facility (DTF) to authorize a FCM to allow a customer that is an eligible contract participant to instruct the FCM not to segregate the customer's funds related to DTF transactions from the FCM's own funds.  The rules would also address procedures for "opting out" of segregation, including disclosure and bankruptcy treatment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition HP 93-1 Requesting Development of a Rule To Ban Certain Backyard Playsets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A petition from the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs requests the Commission to develop a rule to ban certain backyard playsets. The petition asserts that backyard playsets present unreasonable risks of injury to children if they do not meet the requirements of a voluntary standard for home playground equipment published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM); are not accompanied with adequate information about ground surfacing; or lack specific features described in the petition. On May 21, 1996, the Commission denied those parts of the petition requesting issuance of a rule to ban any backyard playset that does not conform to all requirements of the ASTM voluntary standard; that has an accessible height that exceeds six feet above protective surfacing; that does not have adequate fall zones under climbing structures; or that does not provide adequate space between any item of swinging equipment and any other item of swinging or stationary equipment. The Commission deferred a decision on those parts of the petition requesting a rule to ban backyard playsets that are not accompanied with instructions to use and maintain specified ground surfacing; that do not have handrails on all platforms that are 30 inches or higher above protective surfacing; that have swing seats made of wood, metal, plastic, or other hard material capable of inflicting serious injury to the head; that have free-swinging ropes; and that are unanchored playsets with swings. The staff will transmit additional information to the Commission concerning revisions of the voluntary standard, conformance to the voluntary standard, and injury data. The Commission will then decide whether to grant, deny, or continue to defer the remaining requests in the petition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition FP 99-1 Requesting Labeling Rule for Polyurethane Foam in Upholstered Furniture</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A petition from the National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) requests that the Commission require labels under the Flammable Fabrics Act warning that polyurethane foam in upholstered furniture poses a fire hazard. NASFM asserts that polyurethane foam in upholstered furniture poses an unreasonable risk of fire because once ignited it burns rapidly and emits toxic gases. NASFM asks the Commission to require that upholstered furniture manufacturers and retailers provide flammability warnings to the public. On April 6, 1999, the Commission published a Federal Register notice to solicit public comments on the petition.

The Commission has another ongoing rulemaking proceeding related to the risk of fire associated with upholstered furniture (RIN 3041-AB35) that may bear on the disposition of this petition. In 1994, CPSC published an ANPRM announcing the agency's intent to consider a possible rule or other alternatives to address the risk of upholstered furniture fires ignited by small open-flame sources, e.g., lighters, matches and candles. Such a rule could affect fabrics or other furniture components, including filling materials such as polyurethane foam. The Commission staff is evaluating the technical issues raised in the polyurethane foam petition as part of the larger regulatory development effort. The Commission's consideration of the petition will, therefore, be incorporated into the decision on how to proceed on the small open-flame matter.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition HP 00-2 Requesting a Rule Declaring Natural Rubber Latex a Strong Sensitizer</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A petition from Debi Adkins, Editor, Latex Allergy News, requests that the Commission issue a rule declaring that natural rubber latex (NRL) and products containing NRL are strong sensitizers under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) and requiring labeling. NRL is in such consumer products as gloves, adhesives, shoes, balloons, pacifiers, and carpet backing, as well as many medical products. The petitioner states that a portion of the population has developed an allergy to latex that can be debilitating, even causing death. On March 21, 2000, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register to solicit comments on the petition from all interested persons. On May 24, 2000, at the request of several persons, the Commission published a notice extending the original due date for comments of May 22, 2000 for 30 days to June 21, 2000.  Eighty-four comments were received. The staff will prepare a briefing package for consideration by the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition CP 00-1 Requesting Performance Requirements for Non-Wood Baseball Bats</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has received correspondence from J.W. MacKay, Jr. requesting that the Commission issue a rule requiring that all non-wood baseball bats perform like wood bats.  He states that such bats have a faster bat swing speed, a larger "sweet spot," and lower balance point than wood bats.  These high performance bats, he asserts, allow the ball to achieve a faster exit velocity so that the pitcher does not have time to react if a ball is batted at him.  The petitioner asserts that non-wood bats (primarily made of aluminum and composite materials) have become increasingly dangerous.  For these reasons, the petitioner argues, such non-wood bats present an unreasonable risk of injury.  The Commission docketed his request as a petition under the Consumer Product Safety Act and published a notice in the Federal Register on June 15, 2000 to solicit comments on the petition from interested persons.  The staff will prepare a briefing package for the Commission to consider.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition HP 00-4 Requesting a Rule Banning Baby Bath Seats</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A petition from the Consumer Federation of America and other consumer groups, docketed on August 4, 2000, requests that the Commission ban baby bath seats and bath rings.  These are consumer products used to hold an infant in a bathtub while the child is being bathed.  The petitioners assert that bath seats pose an unreasonable risk of injury, primarily because they create a false sense of security that the child is safe in the bathtub.  They assert that 66 incidents of drowning and 37 reports of near drowning involving baby bath seats have been identified.  On August 22, 2000, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register to solicit comments on the petition from all interested persons.  The staff briefed the Commission on May 23, 2001.  On May 30, 2001, the Commission granted the petition and voted to issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR), published in the Federal Register on February 20, 2001, requested comments on a rulemaking proceeding that could result in a mandatory rule addressing the use of lead in candle wicks.  The Commission voted to publish the ANPR and proceed with rulemaking after considering the staff's analysis of the available data on lead-cored candle wicks as well as information provided by the petitioners Public Citizen, National Apartment Association, and National Multi Housing Council.  The staff recommended that the Commission proceed with rulemaking to ban metal-cored wicks containing more than 0.06 percent lead by weight in the metal.  The staff is addressing public comments received in response to the ANPR and is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A petition from the Consumer Federation of America requests that the Commission issue a rule requiring product registration cards with every product intended for children.  The petitioner asks for a rule that would "require manufacturers (or distributors, retailers, or importers) of products intended for children provide along with every product a Consumer Safety Registration Card that allows the purchaser to register information, through the mail or electronically."  This would enable a manufacturer to contact the purchaser if the product were recalled or otherwise presented a safety hazard.  On August 1, 2001, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register to solicit comments on the petition from all interested persons.  The staff will prepare a briefing package for consideration by the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flammability Standard for Upholstered Furniture</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 15, 1994, the Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin a proceeding for development of a flammability standard to address risks of death, injury, and property damage from fires associated with ignition of upholstered furniture by small open-flame sources such as matches, lighters, or candles. This ANPRM was issued after the Commission granted part of a petition requesting development of a mandatory flammability standard to address risks of injury from ignition of upholstered furniture by: (1) small open-flame sources; (2) large open-flame sources; and (3) cigarettes. The Commission voted to deny that part of the petition requesting development of a mandatory standard to address hazards associated with ignition of upholstered furniture by large open-flame sources. The Commission also voted to defer a decision on that part of the petition requesting development of a standard to address cigarette ignition, and directed the staff to report to the Commission on the effectiveness of, and the extent of industry compliance with, a voluntary program to reduce risks of ignition of upholstered furniture by cigarettes. The Commission staff developed a draft standard to address ignition of upholstered furniture by small open-flame sources.

On March 2, 1998, the Commission voted to defer action on small open-flame sources and gather additional information on the potential toxicity of flame-retardant chemicals that might be used to meet a standard. A public hearing on this subject was held May 5-6, 1998. The staff is analyzing data from the hearing and completing other technical studies. In CPSC's 1999 appropriations legislation, Congress directed the Commission to contract with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) for an independent study of potential health hazards associated with the use of flame retardant chemicals that might be used in upholstered furniture fabrics to meet a CPSC standard. The draft NAS report was completed and forwarded to Congress in April 2000; the final NAS report was published in July 2000.  The report concluded that of 16 flame-retardant chemicals reviewed, 8 could be used in upholstered furniture fabrics without presenting health hazards to consumers.  Additional exposure studies were recommended for the remaining eight chemicals.  The report indicates that a number of suitable flame-retardant treatments are available; these include treatments already in use in various textile products, including upholstered furniture sold in the United Kingdom to meet existing U.K. flammability regulations.

CPSC is also considering possible impacts of flame-retardant chemical use on worker safety and the environment. At the CPSC staff's request, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health is assessing potential worker exposure to and risks from certain flame-retardant chemicals that may be used by textile and furniture producers to comply with an upholstered furniture flammability standard. The CPSC staff is also working with the Environmental Protection Agency to consider possible controls on flame-retardant compounds used in residential upholstered furniture fabrics under that agency's Toxic Substances Control Act Authority.  Upon completion of its chemical risk assessment and other technical activities, the CPSC staff will present alternatives for future action by the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In 1998, approximately 480 deaths, more than 1,300 injuries, and about $191 million in property damage resulted from 9,400 residential fires in the United States in which upholstered furniture was the first item to ignite. The total societal cost attributable to upholstered furniture fires was approximately $2.8 billion in 1998.  This total includes fires ignited by small open-flame sources, large open-flame sources, and cigarettes. Of these, small open-flame fires accounted for approximately 80 deaths, 350 injuries and $32 million in property losses.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 4 of the Flammable Fabrics Act (FFA) (15 USC 1193) authorizes the Commission to issue a flammability standard or other regulation for a product of interior furnishing if the Commission determines that such a standard is "needed to adequately protect the public against unreasonable risk of the occurrence of fire leading to death or personal injury, or significant property damage."

The Commission's regulatory proceeding could result in several actions, one of which could be the development of a mandatory standard requiring that upholstered furniture sold in the United States meet mandatory labeling requirements, resist ignition, or meet other performance criteria under test conditions specified in the standard.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The ANPRM stated that the Commission was considering the following alternatives: 

(1) The Commission could issue a mandatory flammability standard if the Commission finds that such a standard is needed to address an unreasonable risk of the occurrence of fire from ignition of upholstered furniture by small open-flame sources; 

(2) The Commission could issue mandatory requirements for labeling of upholstered furniture, in addition to, or as an alternative to, the requirements of a mandatory flammability standard; 

(3) The Commission could terminate the proceeding for development of a flammability standard and rely on a voluntary standard if a voluntary standard would adequately address the risk of fire and substantial compliance with such a standard is likely to result; and 

(4) The Commission could terminate the proceeding and withdraw the ANPRM.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The estimated annual cost of imposing a mandatory standard to address ignition of upholstered furniture by small open-flame sources will depend upon the test requirements imposed by the standard and the steps manufacturers take to meet those requirements. Again, depending upon the test requirements, a small open-flame standard could also reduce cigarette-ignited fire losses, the societal cost of which was over $2 billion in 1997. For this reason, the potential benefits of a mandatory standard to address the risk of ignition of upholstered furniture by small open-flame sources could be significant, even if the standard did not prevent all such fires started by open-flame sources.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The estimated total cost to society from all residential fires associated with upholstered furniture was $2.8 billion in 1997. 

Societal costs associated with upholstered furniture fires are among the highest associated with any product subject to the Commission's authority. A standard has the potential to reduce these societal costs.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Baby Walkers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 2, 1994, the Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin a proceeding that may result in the issuance of mandatory design or performance requirements for baby walkers. A baby walker is a device that supports a child so that the child can use his or her feet to move about before or while learning to walk. Typically, a baby walker consists of a fabric seat that has leg openings and is mounted to a rigid plastic deck. The deck is attached to a base that is mounted on wheels to allow mobility. In 1994, an estimated 25,500 children younger than 15 months of age were treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries associated with baby walkers. The majority of these injuries resulted from falls down stairs. Among the options under consideration by the Commission are mandatory performance or design requirements to reduce risks of injury associated with baby walkers, particularly those resulting to children from falls down stairs.

In response to the Commission's work in this area, the industry published revisions to the voluntary standard for baby walkers in 1997 to address the hazard of falling down stairs. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard contains performance requirements to address risks of injury to children from falls down stairs associated with baby walkers. In 1999, baby walker injuries had dropped to 8,800. The staff is currently assessing the extent of industry conformance with that voluntary standard, designated "Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant Walkers," SF 977-97, published by ASTM. The staff will send that information to the Commission together with options for Commission action, including withdrawal of the ANPRM or further regulatory proceedings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petitions FP 00-1, FP 00-2, FP 00-3, and FP 00-4 Requesting Requirements for Flammability of Mattresses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has received correspondence from Whitney A. Davis, Director of the Children's Coalition for Fire-Safe Mattresses, requesting that the Commission take various actions concerning mattress flammability. The Commission has docketed as petitions his requests for rules requiring: (1) an open-flame standard similar to the full-scale test set forth in California Technical Bulletin 129; (2) an open flame standard similar to the component test set forth in British Standard 5852; (3) a warning label for flammable mattresses; and (4) a permanent mattress identification tag attached to the inner spring of the mattress. The petitioner focuses primarily on the role polyurethane foam plays in mattress fires. He notes that the Commission's existing mattress flammability standard only addresses cigarette ignition; yet childplay with open-flame sources causes nearly two-thirds of mattress fires. He argues that with polyurethane foam mattresses, fires have become increasingly more deadly than with cotton-batting mattresses due to increased smoke generation, heat production and flame spread. With regard to labels, he notes that polyurethane foam manufacturers provide warnings to mattress manufacturers, but these warnings are not passed on to the consumer. With regard to an identification tag, the petitioner argues that such a tag would help to identify mattresses involved in fires because often only the inner spring unit remains after a mattress fire. The Commission has docketed these petitions under provisions of the Flammable Fabrics Act. The Commission voted to grant petitions FP 00-1 and FP 00-2, and deny petitions FP 00-3 and FP 00-4.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is considering whether certain portable bed rails present an unreasonable risk of injury that should be regulated. A portable bed rail is a device intended to be installed on an adult bed to prevent a child from falling out of the bed. Such bed rails may be constructed in a manner that children can become entrapped between the portable bed rail and the bed. This entrapment can result in serious injury or death.

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Safety Regulations for Cribs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 16, 1996, the Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin a proceeding that may result in amendment of the safety regulations for full-size and non-full-size cribs, 16 CFR parts 1508 and 1509. Among the regulatory alternatives under consideration is amendment of the regulations to add tests to assure that slats will not disengage from the side panels of cribs. The Commission began this proceeding after considering information about incidents in which crib slats disengaged from the side panels of cribs, creating a risk that children may become entrapped between the remaining slats or fall out of the crib. At the urging of CPSC staff, in April 1999, the voluntary standard for cribs designated, "Specification for Full Size Baby Cribs (ASTM F1169-99)," and published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) was revised to include performance requirements for crib slats. The Commission will consider written comments received in response to the ANPRM, and assess conformance with the voluntary standard before deciding whether to continue the proceeding by publication of a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), or terminate further proceedings in reliance on the voluntary standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of the Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles prohibits the manufacture, importation, or sale of clothing, and fabrics and related materials intended for use in clothing, which are dangerously flammable because of rapid and intense burning. The standard prescribes the apparatus, procedure, and criteria to be used for testing to determine compliance with that standard. The standard was made mandatory by the Flammable Fabrics Act of 1953 (Pub. L. 83-88, 67 Stat. 111; June 30, 1953). Some of the equipment and procedures specified by the standard, particularly those for laundering and cleaning of test specimens, have become obsolete, unavailable, or unrepresentative of current practices. The staff is preparing a briefing package describing modifications of the standard that may be needed to assure that the test in the standard is conducted with equipment and procedures representative of conditions to which garments currently are exposed. After consideration of the briefing package, the Commission will decide whether to begin a proceeding for amendment of the standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition HP 99-1 for a Ban of Polyvinyl Chloride in Toys and Other Products Intended for Children 5 Years of Age and Under</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Environmental Trust and 11 other organizations petitioned the Commission to ban polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in toys and other articles intended for the use of children 5 years and under, based upon concerns they have about the potential for health risks from phthalates (especially diisononyl phthalate (DINP)), lead, and cadmium that can be in PVC. A Federal Register notice was issued on December 22, 1998, requesting comment on the petition. Comments were received.

The Commission established a Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel (CHAP) of independent scientists to study issues related to the chronic toxicity and risk, including the risk of cancer, associated with exposure to DINP in children's PVC products. The CHAP submitted its report to the Commission on June 15, 2001. The Commission has begun an extensive exposure study to obtain a broader range of data from which to better define the amount of time children mouth products that could contain phthalates. The observation phase is complete and data is being analyzed.  Following completion of this work, the staff will send a briefing package to the Commission recommending that the Commission grant, deny, or defer the petition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition HP 01-03 Requesting a Ban on Use of Chromated-Cooper-Arsenate (CCA) Treated Wood in Playground Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A petition from the Environmental Working Group and Healthy Building Network, docketed June 20, 2001, requests that the Commission enact an immediate ban on the use of chromated copper arsenate (CCA) treated wood in playground equipment.  This treatment is used as a pesticide in the wood.  The petitioners assert that a ban is necessary because recent research has shown that arsenic is more carcinogenic than was previously recognized, and is present at significant concentrations on CCA treated wood and in underlying soil.  They further assert that the health risks posed by this wood are greater than was previously recognized, and that past risk assessments were incomplete.  On July 13, 2001, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register to solicit comments on the petition from all interested persons.  This is a 60-day comment period that will end on September 11, 2001.  The petitioners also requested that the Commission review the safety of CCA treated wood for general use.  Such a review would not require rulemaking to implement, therefore, the request was not docketed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Child-Resistant Packaging of Household Products Containing Petroleum Distillates or Other Hydrocarbons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Some household products containing 10 percent or more by weight of petroleum distillates are subject to requirements for child-resistant packaging by regulations issued under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act and codified at 16 CFR 1700.14(a). These products include liquid furniture polish (section 1700.14(a)(2)), lighter fluid (section 1700.14(a)(7)), and prepackaged solvents for paint (section 1700.14(a)(15)). However, many other household products containing petroleum distillates or other hydrocarbons are not required to be in child-resistant packaging. On February 26, 1997, the Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to initiate a proceeding that may result in mandatory requirements for child-resistant packaging of household products containing petroleum distillates or other hydrocarbons. Following consideration of the comments, the Commission proposed requirements for child-resistant packaging of additional household products containing petroleum distillates or other hydrocarbons. The notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) was published on January 3, 2000, and the comment period ended March 20, 2000. Seven comments were received. The Commission also requested that additional information about cosmetics that contain mineral oil be obtained. The staff purchased additional information on mineral oil-based cosmetic poisonings from the American Association of Poison Control Centers. The public comment period on the staff analysis of this data closed on June 11, 2001. The staff evaluated comments and prepared a briefing package for Commission consideration. On October 16, 2001, the Commission decided to issue a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Separate petitions were received from Public Citizen and jointly from the National Apartment Association and the National Multi-Housing Council to ban candle wicks that contain lead and to ban candles with such wicks. The petitioners claimed that burning candles with such wicks produces hazardous combustion products containing lead. On April 2, 2000, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register to solicit comments on the petition from all interested parties.  The comment period closed June 12, 2000.  Over 140 comments were received.  The staff sent a briefing package to the Commission on December 15, 2000, recommending that the Commission publish an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) to ban metal-cored wicks containing more than 0.06% lead by weight.  The staff briefed the Commission on January 30, 2001.  On February 13, 2001 the Commission granted the petitions and voted to issue an ANPR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirement for Special Packaging of Oral Prescription Drugs That Are Granted Over-The-Counter Status by the Food and Drug Administration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 23, 2000, the Commission directed the CPSC staff to draft a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to require that the child-resistant packaging requirements for oral prescription drugs continue when the active chemicals are granted over-the-counter (OTC) status by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The current regulations under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) require child-resistant packaging of most oral prescription drugs.  However, when the FDA allows an oral prescription drug to be sold OTC, child-resistant packaging of that drug is no longer required. When the Commission finds that a particular switched OTC drug requires child-resistant packaging because it may cause serious injury or serious illness, it must issue an individual rule, which may not take effect for several years after the switch.

On August 30, 2000, the Commission issued a proposed rule that would automatically require drugs that have been switched after the effective date of the rule to be in child-resistant packaging. Under the proposed rule, drugs switched by FDA from prescription to OTC before the effective date of the rule would not automatically have to be in child-resistant packaging. This proposed rule provides that those companies that believe their drug product does not need to be in child-resistant packaging can provide information to the Commission, as they do currently under the PPPA oral prescription drug rule, to demonstrate either: (1) that the drug product will not injure children if it is marketed in non-child-resistant packaging, or (2) that child-resistant packaging is not technically feasible, practicable, or appropriate for the oral drug when marketed as an OTC product.  If the Commission agrees, it will by rule exempt the drug product from the PPPA requirements.  The Federal Register notice also proposes to revoke 16 CFR 1702.16(b) to allow petitions for exemptions from child-resistant packaging requirements to be submitted and considered by the Commission before the new drug applications (NDA) are approved by the FDA. This would decrease the potential financial and regulatory burdens to the drug company associated with a post-marketing package change.

The Commission considered written comments received in response to the NPR and voted to issue a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition PP 00-1 Requesting Partial Exemption From Special Packaging Requirements for Lidoderm</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 5, 2000 the Commission docketed a petition from Endo Pharmaceuticals requesting a partial exemption from special packaging for Lidoderm patches on the ground that it was too costly to provide child-resistant ("CR") packaging for Lidoderm patches.  Lidoderm is an orphan prescription drug used for post herpetic neuralgia.  Under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, CR packaging is required for products with more than 5 mg of lidocaine.  Therefore, because each patch contains 700 mg of lidocaine, Lidoderm must be sold in CR packaging.  On August 7, 2001, the Commission voted unanimously to deny the petition and instead issued a conditional stay of enforcement that will adequately protect children.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Handicap, and Age in Programs and Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Corporation proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI) and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, and disability in programs and activities that receive Federal financial assistance.  In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504.  The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes.  The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRAA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Corporation's title VI and section 504 regulations.  The Corporation's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

These regulations include procedures for processing requests for disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, under the Privacy Act, and for production of records in response to a demand from a court or other noncongressional authority in connection with a proceeding to which CSOSA or PSA is not a party. The regulations also identify Privacy Act system of records exemptions for both CSOSA and PSA. These regulations are necessary in order to ensure that the public has appropriate access to information maintained by the CSOSA and PSA and that adequate safeguards are in place to protect the privacy rights of individuals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Supervision: Administrative Sanctions Schedule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CSOSA issued interim regulations on administrative sanctions which may be imposed on offenders under CSOSA's supervision who violate the general or specific conditions of their release. The purpose of imposing sanctions is to enable CSOSA staff to respond as swiftly, certainly, and consistently as practicable to noncompliant behavior. Using sanctions will reduce the number of violation reports sent to the releasing authority (for example, the sentencing court or the United States Parole commission). CSOSA staff will be able to refer offenders back tot he releasing authority having demonstrated that CSOSA has exhausted the range of options at its disposal to change the offender's noncompliant behavior. The releasing authority may then concentrate on those referrals which fully merit scrutiny. The purpose of the regulations is to prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and support the fair administration of justice through the promotion of effective community supervision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>District of Columbia Sex Offender Registration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CSOSA intends to issue interim regulations for the registration of sex offenders in the District of Columbia. These regulations provide notice to sex offenders of their duties under the law and under the regulations of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia to register with CSOSA. In most instances, sex offenders will receive notification that they are subject to registration when they are being sentenced by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia after being found guilty (or found not guilty by reason of insanity or adjudicated as a sexual psychopath) or when CSOSA becomes responsible for their supervision. In those cases where the offender has previously committed a registration offense and is not currently under supervision, the offender must contact CSOSA to register in order to avoid possible criminal penalty. These regulations are intended to provide for the protection of the public and to ensure that the District of Columbia may provide appropriate notification regarding the presence of sex offenders in the community.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CSOSA intends to adopt interim regulations on the collection and use of DNA information. DNA information is collected under CSOSA's supervision from individuals who have been convicted of specific offenses identified by District of Columbia statute. The DNA information becomes part of the combined DNA Index System (CODIS), a national database of DNA profiles from convicted offenders, unsolved crime scenes, and missing persons. The regulations specify that the DNA sample will be collected in accordance with FBI guidelines. The regulations also establish procedures for cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to ensure that unnecessary samples will not be collected; establish a standard for what constitutes an individual's refusal to cooperate in the collection of the sample; define what steps CSOSA deems to be reasonably necessary to take when an individual refuses to cooperate; and list in an appendix the offenses which qualify for DNA collection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to clarify coverage and give examples of suitable contractor responsibility considerations. The rule also makes unallowable the costs of attempting to influence employee decisions regarding unionization. In addition, the rule makes unallowable those legal expenses related to defense of judicial or administrative proceedings brought by the Federal Government when a contractor is found to have violated a law or regulation, or the proceeding is settled by consent or compromise, except to the extent specifically provided as part of the settlement agreement. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures--The Age Discrimination in Employment Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 115 of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 deleted references to the Portal to Portal Act from the private suit provisions of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and replaced them with a requirement that suit be filed no later than 90 days after termination of proceedings or dismissal of a charge by EEOC. Accordingly, section 1626.7(a) is being deleted and section 1626.15(b) is being revised because they were both based upon the Portal to Portal Act. New sections are being added concerning termination of EEOC proceedings and the issuance of notices of the new 90-day limitation period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administration of the North American Numbering Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Report and Order lays the foundation for the fair and effective administration of numbering in the United States. The Report and Order establishes a model for administration of numbering resources in a competitive environment. In this model, the FCC will set broad policy objectives, be the final arbiter of domestic numbering disputes and work closely with other member countries of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), the States, industry and consumers to ensure fair and effective number administration. The Report and Order creates the North American Number Council (NANC) under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. In the Third Report and Order, released on October 9, 1997, the Commission affirmed the NANC's selection of Lockheed Martin IMS as the new NANP administrator. The NANP administrator is a nongovernmental entity that is not aligned with any particular telecommunications industry segment, and upon selection and following a transition period, assumed Bellcore's current NANP administrator functions and the central office code administration functions currently handled by the dominant local exchange carrier in each area code. The rules were expanded to accommodate the requirements of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. See FCC 96-337, released August 8, 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of N11 Codes and Other Abbreviated Dialing Arrangements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1992, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket 92-105 proposing that local exchange carriers (LECs) be required to make N11 codes available for access to information service providers. In this proposal, LECs could establish any reasonable assignment criteria for such allocation, including "first come, first served." The FCC's General Counsel released a letter indicating it found no regulatory or legal obstacles to assignment of N11 codes for information services. On February 19, 1997, the FCC released a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in that Docket (FCC 97-51) which allows incumbent LECs, in addition to the States and Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), to continue to perform the N11 code administration functions that they performed at the time of enactment of the 1996 Act amendments to the 1934 Act, until further FCC action. The FCC concluded that: (1) 311 should be assigned as a national number for access to non-emergency police calls; (2) 711 should be assigned as a national number for access to telecommunications relay services (TRS); (3) all providers of telephone exchange service must be able to have their customers call 611 and 811 to reach their repair and business service offices; and (4) a LEC may not itself offer enhanced services using a 411 code or any other N11 code, unless that LEC offers access to the code on a reasonable nondiscriminatory basis to competing enhanced service providers in the local service area for which it is using the code to facilitate distribution of their enhanced services. In the FNPRM, the FCC asked for comment on: (1) the technical feasibility of implementing 711 for TRS access; (2) the possibility of developing an N11 gateway offering access to multiple TRS providers; (3) whether with such access, TRS calls would still be answered within mandatory minimum answer times; (4) whether such a gateway would be consistent with section 255; (5) whether other important disability services could be accessed thereby; (6) the possibility of providing both voice and text TRS services through the same abbreviated TRS code; (7) the proprietary nature of N11 codes; and (8) an FCC proposal to transfer administration of N11 codes at the local level from incumbent LECs to the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) administrator. Petitions for reconsideration or clarification on the order have been filed. Comments and replies were filed on March 31 and April 30, 1997, respectively. On June 16, 1999, the Commission released a Public Notice announcing that it would hold a public forum on September 8, 1999, on 711 access to TRS. The goal of the forum was to identify steps that must be taken to implement 711 access to TRS as well as obstacles to implementation and how those obstacles could be resolved.

On August 9, 2000, the Commission released a Second Report and Order (FCC 00-257) that addresses issues related to the deployment of 711 for access to TRS.  The Commission required a nationwide rollout of 711 access to TRS and established an implementation framework.  On July 31, 2000, the Commission released a Third Report and Order (FCC 00-256) that granted the petition of the United Way of America, and others, for nationwide assignment of the 211 abbreviated dialing code for access to community information and referral services.  The Commission also granted the petition of the U.S. Department of Transportation for nationwide assignment of the 511 abbreviated dialing code for access to travel and traffic information.  The Commission further addressed issues raised in petitions for reconsideration of the N11 First Report and Order and resolved outstanding issues from the N11 Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  

On August 29, 2000, the Commission released a Fourth Report and Order and Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket 92-105 and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in WT Docket 00-110 (FCC 00-327) to implement the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999.  The Commission designated 911 as the universal emergency number and sought comment on appropriate transition periods and how the Commission should facilitate States' efforts to deploy comprehensive emergency communications systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Universal Service Portions of the 1996 Telecommunications Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Commission sought comment on proposals for reforming universal service. On November 8, 1996, the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service issued a recommended decision on changes to the universal service support mechanisms. In addition, on January 10, 1997, the Commission issued an NPRM and NOI on changes to the Board of Directors of the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA), regarding the administration of universal service. On May 8, 1997, the Commission, at the direction of Congress, released its order implementing the universal service portions of the 1996 Act. On December 30, 1997, the Commission issued the 4th Order on Reconsideration which made changes and clarifications to the May 8 Order. On June 22, 1998, the Commission issued the 5th Order on Reconsideration which revised the collection levels for the schools and libraries support mechanism through June 30, 1999, and revised the collection levels for the rural health care support mechanism through December 31, 1998. The 5th Order on Reconsideration also revised the priority with which schools and libraries and rural health care providers will receive support. On October 28, 1998, the Commission issued the 5th Report and Order, in which it adopted the model platform for its forward-looking economic cost methodology, which will be used to determine support for non-rural carriers beginning July 1, 1999. On November 21, 1998, the Commission issued the 8th Order on Reconsideration in which it consolidated the administration of universal service into a single entity known as the Universal Service Administrative Company or USAC. On November 25, 1998, the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service issued its Second Recommended Decision in which the Joint Board made certain recommendations to the Commission regarding the high cost support mechanism.

On May 28, 1999, the Commission issued the 13th Order on Reconsideration in which it adopted the principles of a Federal high-cost support mechanism that conformed to the Second Recommended Decision and in which it sought further comment on specific elements of the support methodology. In the 13th Order on Reconsideration, the Commission also decided to implement the new high-cost support mechanism on January 1, 2000 instead of July 1, 1999, as previously planned. On May 28, 1999, the Commission also issued a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in which it sought comment on proposed input values to be used in the forward-looking model to determine non-rural LECs' cost of providing supported services in high cost areas. On August 5, 1999, the Commission adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in which it sought comment to ascertain the availability of, and to understand the possible impediments to, deployment and subscribership in unserved and underserved areas of the Nation, including tribal lands and other insular areas. 

On November 1, 1999, the Commission issued the Fourteenth Order on Reconsideration, in which it eliminated the requirement that only carriers that have been certified as eligible telecommunications carriers may receive credit against their universal service contributions for providing telecommunications services to rural health care providers at the lower urban rates. On November 1, 1999, the Commission also issued the Fifteenth Order on Reconsideration, in which it authorized support for any commercially available telecommunications service regardless of the bandwidth, and simplified the method for determining how much support a rural health care provider can receive. On November 2, 1999, the Commission issued the Ninth Report and Order and Eighteenth Order on Reconsideration in which it adopted a new forward-looking high-cost support mechanism that will enable States to ensure the reasonable comparability of non-rural carriers' intrastate rates. On November 2, 1999, the Commission also issued the Tenth Report and Order in which it completed the selection of a cost model to estimate forward-looking cost by adopting input values for the previously adopted cost model.

On June 30, 2000, the Commission issued the Twelfth Report and Order, Memorandum Opinion and Order, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, in response to the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking it adopted on August 5, 1999.  In the Twelfth Report and Order, the Commission adopted measures to promote telecommunications subscribership and infrastructure deployment within American Indian and Alaska Native tribal communities.  

On October 12, 2000, the Commission released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order to seek comment on proposals to modify the Commission's rules relating to contributions to the Federal universal service support mechanisms. On January 12, 2001, the Commission released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on the Recommended Decision of the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service (Joint Board) regarding a plan for reforming the universal service support mechanism for rural carriers.  The Joint Board sent to the Commission the Rural Task Force Recommendation as a good foundation for implementing rural high-cost reform.  The Rural Task Force recommends the use of a modified version of the current high-cost loop support mechanism based on carriers' embedded costs.  

On May 23, 2001, the Commission released the Fourteenth Report and Order, Twenty-Second Order on Reconsideration and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  In the Fourteenth Report and Order, the Commission adopted a five-year plan that makes modifications to the high-cost loop support mechanism for rural carriers.  These modifications were based on the recommendation of the Joint Board and will provide predictable levels of support so that rural carriers can continue to provide affordable service in rural America, while ensuring that consumers in all areas of the nation, including rural areas, have access to affordable and quality telecommunications services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Non-Accounting Safeguards, Sec. 271 &amp; 272 of Communications Act of 1996 &amp; Regulatory Treatment of LEC Provisions of Interexchange Svcs. Orig. in LEC Local Exch. Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 24, 1996, the Commission adopted the Non-Accounting Safeguards Order in its proceeding implementing the non-accounting safeguards provision of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. These provisions prescribe the manner in which the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) may enter certain markets, including the provisions of in-region interLATA services. On October 1, 1999, the Commission denied several petitions for reconsideration of its initial Order and, on its own motion, clarified certain language in the Order relating to so-called "teaming arrangements."  Certain BOCs subsequently appealed specific aspects of the Order to the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia.  On October 27, 2000, the Court granted the Commission's motion for a voluntary remand, and remanded the matter to the Commission.  On November 8, 2000, the Commission sought further comment on the specific issues raised by the appeal.  On April 11, 2001, the Commission released an Order on Remand, in which it examined the scope of the term "InterLATA Services" as it relates to Section 271 of the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Subscriber Selection Changes Provision of the Telecommunications Act of 1996</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 1998, the Commission established new rules and policies implementing section 258 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which makes it unlawful for any telecommunications carrier to "submit or execute a change in a subscriber's selection of a provider of telecommunications exchange service or telephone toll service except in accordance with such verification procedures as the Commission shall prescribe." The rules provide, among other things, that any telecommunications carrier that violates such verification procedures and that collects charges for telephone exchange service or telephone toll service from a subscriber, shall be liable to the carrier previously selected by the subscriber in an amount equal to all charges paid by the subscriber after such violation. In the FNPRM, we sought comment on several proposals to further strengthen our slamming rules.  In April 2000, the Commission modified the slamming liability rules by giving victims of slamming adequate redress, ensuring that carriers that slam do not profit from their fraud, and allowing states to act as the primary administrator of slamming complaints.  

In July 2000, the Commission took further action to improve the existing carrier change process for both consumers and carriers, protect the right of consumers to exercise choice among carriers, and ensure that consumers' choices are honored.  In December 2000, the Commission adopted a Biennial Review FNPRM seeking comment on proposals to amend the slamming rules to lighten administrative burdens associated with selling or transferring customer bases by eliminating the need to obtain a waiver, while continuing to protect consumers.  In February 2001, the Commission adopted an order modifying and clarifying certain aspects of the reporting and registration requirements it had adopted in July 2000.  In May 2001, the Commission adopted streamlined procedures for the carrier-to-carrier sale or transfer of customer bases, as proposed in the Biennial Review FNPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Access Charge Reform</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 24, 1996, the Commission initiated a rulemaking to revise its access charge rules to make them compatible with a competitive market envisioned by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. On May 7, 1997, the Commission adopted revised access charge rate structure rules and adjusted the price cap productivity factor. The Commission also adopted a market-based approach to reducing overall access charge levels and moving such levels toward forward-looking economic costs. The Commission adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on proposals to allow presubscribed interexchange carrier charges on special access lines and to adjust the allocation of General Support Facilities costs recovered through interstate access charges. 

On July 10, 1997, on its own motion, and on October 9, 1997, in response to reconsideration petitions, the Commission revised or clarified certain parts of the rules adopted in the May 1997 Access Charge Reform Order. On November 26, 1997, the Commission adopted rules requiring price cap carriers to adjust the allocation of General Support Facilities costs and to reduce their price cap indices to ensure that regulated access rates do not recover those costs which are related to nonregulated services. Reconsideration petitions filed in response to the Access Charge Reform Order, if not yet addressed, will be addressed in future reconsideration orders. On May 27, 1999, the Commission initiated a further rulemaking, seeking comment on how to adjust interstate access charges in conjunction with the removal from access charges of implicit universal service support for non-rural local exchange carriers. On August 5, 1999, the Commission adopted rules implementing the market-based approach to access charge reform, pursuant to which incumbent price cap local exchange carriers receive progressively greater pricing flexibility as competition develops. The Commission also initiated a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, seeking comment on additional pricing flexibility, proposed changes to the rate structure for local switching and tandem-switched transport, and the need to constrain access charges imposed by competitive local exchange carriers. Reconsideration petitions filed in response to the November 1997 General Support Facilities Order will be addressed in a future reconsideration order. On May 31, 2000, the Commission adopted an industry proposal establishing a 5-year plan for price cap local exchange carriers and resolving many outstanding issues concerning interstate access charges and interstate universal service.  On April 27, 2001, the Commission revised its tariff rules to establish benchmark access rates for competitive local exchange carriers, whereby access rates at or below the benchmark will be presumed just and reasonable and may be imposed by tariff, and access rates above the benchmark will be mandatorily detariffed.  The Commission adopted a rural exemption to this benchmark scheme, recognizing that a higher level of access charges is justified for certain carriers serving rural areas.  On May 21, 2001, the Commission determined that price cap local exchange carriers should not be permitted to assess prescribed interexchange carrier charges on special access lines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Local Competition Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Second Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order implemented the dialing parity, nondiscriminatory access, network disclosure, and number administration provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The Order also denied the Petition for Expedited Declaratory Ruling on the area code relief plan for Dallas and Houston filed with the FCC by the Texas Public Utilities Commission on May 9, 1996. Finally, this Order addressed petitions for clarification or reconsideration in the matters of proposed 708 Relief Plan and 630 Numbering Plan Area Code by Ameritech and the Administration of the North American Numbering Plan. On July 19, 1999, the Commission released an order denying the petition for reconsideration of the Local Competition Second Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order filed by Beehive Telephone Company, Inc., Local Competition Second Report and Order, First Order on Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 96-98, FCC 99-170, 1999 WL 507245 (1999). On August 17, 1999, Beehive filed a Notice of Appeal of this order with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. On May 18, 2000, the Court affirmed the Commission's decision without a published opinion.  On June 30, 2000, Beehive filed a Petition for Rehearing with the Court.  That petition was denied on July 18, 2000.  

On September 9, 1999, the Commission released the Second Order on Reconsideration of the Local Competition Second Report and Order, FCC 99-227, resolving petitions for reconsideration of rules adopted in the Local Competition Second Report and Order to implement the requirement of Section 251(b)(3), 47 U.S.C. Section 251(b)(3), that LECs provide non-discriminatory access to directory assistance, directory listing and operator services. At the same time the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), FCC 99-227, seeking comment on issues related to developments in, and the convergence of, directory publishing and directory assistance.  On October 21, 1999, the Commission released the Third Order on Reconsideration of the Local Competition Second Report and Order, FCC 99-243, resolving the petitions for reconsideration regarding numbering administration under section 251(e)(1) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. section 251(e)(1). Other petitions for reconsideration or clarification of the Local Competition Second Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order regarding dialing parity under section 251(b)(3) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. section 251(b)(3), and network disclosure under section 251(c)(1) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. section 251(c)(1), are currently pending before the Commission.  On January 23, 2001, the Commission released a First Report and Order, FCC 01-27, resolving issues raised in the September 9th NPRM, and concluding, among other things, that competing Directory Assistance (DA) providers that are certified as CLECs, are agents of CLECs, or that offer call completion services provide telephone exchange or telephone toll service, and thus are entitled to nondiscriminatory access to LEC local DA databases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Computer III Further Remand Proceedings: Bell Operating Company Provision of Enhanced Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 30, 1998, the FCC released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNRPM) proposing to streamline the safeguards under which the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) provide information (or enhanced) services, such as voice mail and electronic messaging. The FCC sought comment on tentative conclusions relating to nonstructural safeguards, Comparably Efficient Interconnection (CEI) plans, and network information disclosure rules, among other things. Finally, the FNPRM sought to build a record on which to respond to a partial remand of certain orders by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On February 25, 1999, the Commission adopted a Report and Order which streamlined the Commission's CEI and network information disclosure rules. Although the BOCs must continue to comply with their CEI obligations, they are no longer required to obtain pre-approval of their CEI plans and amendments from the Commission before initiating or altering an intra-LATA information service. Instead, the Commission requires the BOCs to post their CEI plans on their publicly accessible Internet sites, and to notify the Common Carrier Bureau upon such posting. The Commission removed the network information disclosure rules set forth in the Computer II and Computer III proceedings, with the narrow exception of the Computer II rules that require carriers to disclose changes that could affect how customer premises equipment (CPE) is attached to the network.  On March 7, 2001, the FCC released a Public Notice requesting further comment on the outstanding issues discussed in its January 30, 1998 FNPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Detariffing of Competitive Local Exchange Carriers&apos; Interstate Exchange Access Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In an Order released on April 27, 2001, the Commission addressed a number of interrelated issues concerning charges for interstate switched access services provided by competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) and the obligations of interexchange carriers to exchange access traffic with CLECs.  The Order seeks to ensure that CLEC access charges are just and reasonable, to reduce regulatory arbitrage opportunities, and to avoid disrupting the development of competition in the local telecommunications market.  

In an attached Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission sought comment on whether tariffed CLEC-provided access service for toll free, or "8YY," numbers should be afforded different treatment than CLEC tariffed switched access traffic generally.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>In the Matter of Telecommunications Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech Services for Individuals With Hearing and Speech Disabilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Report and Order, released on March 6, 2000, the FCC adopted additional rules to increase the availability and usefulness of the telecommunications system for Americans with hearing and speech disabilities.  Specifically, the FCC required that speech to speech and Spanish language relay services be provided.  The FCC also encouraged the provision of video relay interpreting service by making it eligible for reimbursement from the telecommunications relay service (TRS) fund.  In addition, the FCC revised its minimum standards in accordance with the statutory mandate that TRS must be "functionally equivalent" to voice telecommunications service to the extent possible.  Among other things, these rules will improve the speed at which calls are answered and conversations relayed.  

In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM), the FCC asked for comment on how to further improve TRS.  Specifically, the FNPRM asked what changes are necessary to increase public awareness of TRS among all callers, not just those with disabilities, including how a national awareness education campaign can be established; and whether other technologies, services, and features should be made available to TRS users.  

In the Order on Reconsideration released on June 5, 2000, the FCC, on its own motion, amended the effective date by which parties must comply with most of the amended rules adopted in the Report and Order.  The Order on Reconsideration also established a fixed date for the annual submission of complaint log summaries by States and TRS providers to the FCC by July 1 of each year.  The FCC also more rigorously conformed the text of the rules concerning the submission of contact information and the treatment of emergency calls to the precise language in the Report and Order.  Moreover, the FCC clarified the requirement regarding the transfer of customer profile information between outgoing and incoming TRS providers, and clarified the review process and possible disposition of informal complaints under our amended TRS rules.  In addition, the Order on Reconsideration changed the nomenclature in our rules from "video relay interpreting" to "video relay services."  Finally, the Order on Reconsideration corrected various typographical errors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Report and Order modifies the FCC's cost allocation and accounting rules as part of the biennial regulatory review process. Specifically, it (1) raises the threshold significantly for Class A accountings, thus allowing mid-sized carriers currently required to use Class A accounts to use the more streamlined Class B accounts; (2) establishes less burdensome cost allocation manual (CAM) procedures for the mid-sized incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) and reduces the frequency with which independent audits of the cost allocations are required; and (3) makes several changes to the uniform system of accounts to reduce accounting requirements and to eliminate or consolidate accounts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Access Charge Reform for Rate-of-Return Local Exchange Carriers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In order to make the access charge rules compatible with a competitive marketplace as envisioned by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the FCC on May 26, 1998, initiated a rulemaking to revise interstate access charge rules applicable to incumbent local exchange carriers subject to rate-of-return regulation. The NPRM proposes to permit rate-of-return LECs to adjust their subscriber line charge ceilings on non-primary residential and multi-line business lines to the level necessary to recover their average per-line interstate-allocated common line costs, subject to an inflation-adjusted $9.00 ceiling. The NPRM also proposes to permit rate-of-return LECs to recover common line revenues through a presubscribed interexchange carrier charge. The NPRM also proposes that per-minute residual carrier common line and residual transport interconnection charges will be eliminated as the presubscribed interexchange carrier charge ceilings increase. The NPRM seeks comment on proposals to allow presubscribed interexchange carrier charges on special access lines and to adjust the allocation of General Support Facilities costs recovered through interstate access charges to ensure that regulated access rates do not recover costs related to nonregulated services. The NPRM proposes that rate-of-return local exchange carriers recover marketing costs allocated to the interstate jurisdiction from end users on a per-line basis. In addition, to establish a new switched access rate element to accommodate a new service offering, the streamlined petition provisions of section 69.4(g) are proposed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deployment of Wireline Services Offering Advanced Telecommunications Capability</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 31, 1999, the Commission released a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) (Advanced Services Order), in CC Docket No. 98-147, adopting several measures to enable competitive providers of advanced services such as high-speed Internet access, to deploy new technologies on a faster, more cost-effective basis to consumers. This order is intended to create marketplace conditions conducive to the nationwide deployment of advanced telecommunications services consistent with the goals of section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Because the Commission concluded that the record does not sufficiently address long-term spectrum compatibility issues, the Commission adopted a companion Further NPRM that seeks comment on issues related to developing long-term standards and practices for spectrum compatibility and management. In the Further NPRM, the Commission also tentatively concludes that it is technically feasible for two different telecommunications carriers sharing a single line to provide traditional voice service and advanced services. The Further Notice seeks comment on the operational, pricing, legal and policy ramifications of mandating such line sharing at the Federal level. 

On November 9, 1999, the Commission released a Second Report and Order (Advanced Services Resale Order) in CC Docket No. 98-147, which addressed whether the discounted resale obligation of section 251(c)(4) applies to incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) provision of advanced services without regard to their classification as telephone exchange or exchange access. The Commission determined that analysis of section 251(c)(4) requires a fact-specific evaluation of the features and characteristics of a particular transaction, and concluded that advanced services sold at retail by incumbent LECs to residential and business end-users are subject to the section 251(c)(4) discounted resale obligation, without regard to their classification as telephone exchange service or exchange access service. The Commission, however, reached a different result as to advanced services sold to Internet Service Providers for inclusion in a high-speed Internet service offering, concluding that these advanced services are inherently different from advanced services made available directly to business and residential end-users, and as such, are not subject to the discounted resale obligations of section 251(c)(4). 

On December 9, 1999, the Commission released a Third Report and Order in CC Docket No. 98-147 and Fourth Report and Order in CC Docket No. 96-98 (Line Sharing Order). In the Line Sharing Order, the Commission adopted measures to promote the availability of competitive broadband Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services, especially to residential and small business customers. The Third R&O amends the Commission's network unbundling rules to require incumbent LECs to provide unbundled access to a new network element, the high frequency portion of the local loop. This will enable competitive LECs to compete with incumbent LECs to provide  DSL services through telephone lines that the competitive LECs can share with incumbent LECs. In addition, the Line Sharing Order adopts spectrum management policies and rules to facilitate the competitive deployment of advanced services. These rules will significantly benefit the rapid and efficient deployment of DSL technologies. 

On January 19, 2001, the Commission issued an Order on Reconsideration and a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in which the Commission reinforced its line sharing rules to promote availability of unbundled access to the high frequency portion of the loop.  It also addressed issues in a variety of petitions for clarification and/or reconsideration filed in response to the Line Sharing Order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Notice initiates a proceeding to represcribe the authorized rate of return for interstate access services provided by ILECs. It marks the first prescription proceeding since we revised the rules governing procedures and methodologies for prescribing and enforcing the rate of return for ILECs not subject to price cap regulation, and the first prescription proceeding since the Commission adopted its price cap rules for local exchange carriers. In this Notice, we seek comment on the methods by which we could calculate the ILECs' cost of capital. In the Notice, we propose corrections to errors in the codified formulas for the cost of debt and cost of preferred stock and seek comment on whether this proceeding warrants a change in the low-end formula adjustment for local exchange carriers subject to price caps.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>1998 Biennial Regulatory Review -- Review of Depreciation Requirements for Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Report and Order we streamline further our depreciation prescription process by permitting summary filings and eliminating the prescription of depreciation rates for incumbent local exchange carriers, provided that the carrier uses depreciation factors that are within the ranges adopted by the Commission; expanding the prescribed range for the digital switching plant account; and eliminating theoretical reserve studies for mid-sized carriers. We also set forth conditions pursuant to which a waiver from the Commission's depreciation prescription process may be appropriate. In the Memorandum Opinion and Order, we deny United States Telephone Association's petition for forbearance of our depreciation prescription process. We find that the petition did not meet the three-prong forbearance test under section 10 of the Act (47 U.S.C. section 160).  

In the Second Report and Order, we declined to adopt a proposal to relieve carriers of our depreciation requirements where carriers elect an above-the-line accounting treatment of the regulatory-to-financial book differential.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Local Telephone Networks That LECs Must Make Available to Competitors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revises the rules applicable to incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) to permit competitive carriers to access portions of the incumbent LECs' networks on an unbundled basis. Unbundling allows competitors to lease portions of the incumbent LECs' network to provide telecommunications services. These rule changes are intended to remove uncertainty regarding the incumbent LECs' unbundling obligations under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and are expected to accelerate the development of local exchange competition.  

On April 10, 2001, the Commission issued a Public Notice seeking comment on a Joint Petition filed by BellSouth, SBC, and Verizon asking the Commission to find that high-capacity loops and dedicated transport should not be subject to mandatory unbundling.  The Commission issued Public Notices on April 23, 2001 and May 14, 2001 seeking additional comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Access Charge Reform and Universal Service Reform</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 25, 2001, the Commission published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) seeking comment on a proposal filed by a Multi-Association Group (MAG).  The MAG plan sets forth an interstate access reform and universal service support proposal for incumbent local exchange carriers subject to rate-of-return regulation (rate-of-return or non-price cap carriers).  Among other things, the MAG plan proposes to reform the interstate access charge structure for non-price cap carriers, to establish explicit interstate access universal service support for non-price cap carriers that will be sustainable in an increasingly competitive marketplace, and to establish a new form of incentive regulation.  The Notice asks whether the Commission should adopt the MAG plan in its entirety, as proposed by the MAG, or adopt or incorporate specific aspects of the MAG plan into other pending Commission proceedings.  Comments on the Notice were received on February 26, 2001, and replied on March 12.  The Commission's Order released May 23, 2001 adopting the Rural Task Force plan disposed of certain aspects of the MAG plan.  A Further NPRM, published at the same time, sought comment on the receipt of high cost universal service support in competitive study areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Numbering Resource Optimization</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1999, the Commission released the Numbering Resource Optimization Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Notice) in CC Docket 99-200. The Notice examined and sought comment on several administrative and technical measures aimed at improving the efficiency with which telecommunications numbering resources are used and allocated. It incorporated input from the North American Numbering Council (NANC), a federal advisory committee, which advises the Commission on issues related to number administration.

In the Numbering Resource Optimization First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NRO First Report and Order), released on March 31, 2000, the Commission adopted a mandatory utilization data reporting requirement, a uniform set of categories of numbers for which carriers must report their utilization, and a utilization threshold framework to increase carrier accountability and incentives to use numbers efficiently. In addition, the Commission adopted a single system for allocating numbers in blocks of one thousand, rather than ten thousand, wherever possible, and established a plan for national rollout of thousands-block number pooling. The Commission also adopted numbering resource reclamation requirements to ensure that unused numbers are returned to the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) inventory for assignment to other carriers. Also, to encourage better management of numbering resources, carriers are required, to the extent possible, to first assign numbering resources within thousands blocks (a form of sequential numbering).

In the NRO Second Report and Order, the Commission adopted a measure that requires all carriers to use at least 60% of their numbering resources before they may get additional numbers in a particular area. That 60% utilization threshold increases to 75% over the next three years. The Commission also established a five-year term for the national Pooling Administrator and an auditing program to verify carrier compliance with the Commission's rules. Furthermore, the Commission addressed several issues raised in the Notice, concerning area code relief. Specifically, the Commission declined to amend the existing federal rules for area code relief or specify any new federal guidelines for the implementation of area code relief. The Commission also declined to state a preference for either all-services overlays or geographic splits as a method of area code relief. Regarding mandatory nationwide ten-digit dialing, the Commission declined to adopt this measure at the present time. Furthermore, the Commission declined to mandate nationwide expansion of the "D digit" (the "N" of an NXX or central office code) to include 0 or 1, or to grant state commissions the authority to implement the expansion of the D digit as a numbering resource optimization measure at the present time.

The measures adopted in the NRO orders will allow the Commission to monitor more closely the way numbering resources are used within the NANP, and will promote more efficient allocation and use of NANP resources by tying a carrier's ability to obtain numbering resources more closely to its actual need for numbers to serve its customers. These measures are designed to create national standards to optimize the use of numbering resources by: (1) minimizing the negative impact on consumers of premature area code exhausts; (2) ensuring sufficient access to numbering resources for all service providers to enter into or to compete in telecommunications markets; (3) avoiding premature exhaust of the NANP; (4) extending the life of the NANP; (5) imposing the least societal cost possible, and ensure competitive neutrality, while obtaining the highest benefit; (6) ensuring that no class of carrier or consumer is unduly favored or disfavored by the Commission's optimization efforts; and (7) minimizing the incentives for carriers to build and carry excessively large inventories of numbers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 6, 1997, the FCC adopted a Report and Order and Second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FCC 97-7360) that amends its cable inside wiring rules to enhance competition in the video distribution marketplace. The Second FNPRM seeks comment on, among other things, whether there are circumstances where the FCC should adopt restrictions on exclusive contracts in order to further promote competition in the multiple dwelling unit marketplace. A Petition for Review was filed in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit on November 24, 1997. The FCC has received petitions for reconsideration and has requested the 8th Circuit to hold the pending court case in abeyance until the Commission takes action on the pending petitions. The Court granted the Commission's request.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has adopted rules to address the mandate expressed in section 629 of the Communications Act to ensure the commercial availability of "navigation devices," the equipment used to access video programming and other services from multichannel video programming systems. Petitions for reconsideration were resolved in a recent order.  The Commission also issued a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Declaratory Ruling.  The Further Notice sought comment as to the effectiveness of the Commission's rules for achieving the commercial availability of navigation devices.  Accompanying the Further Notice was a Declaratory Ruling which found that technology licenses requiring copy protection measures to be located within a navigation host device are consistent with the Commission's navigation devices rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pole Attachment Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission established rules relating to pole attachments. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 required that within two years the Commission prescribe regulations governing the charges for pole attachments for telecommunications attachers.  These regulations are to be used by cable operators and telecommunications carriers to provide telecommunications services when the utility and attaching entity parties fail to resolve a dispute over such charges. The Report and Order released in 1998, prescribed regulations to govern these charges. 

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals released a decision in April of 2000 which challenged the Commission's authority over some aspects of the pole attachment rules.  The Commission has filed a Petition for Rehearing.  The case is now pending before the United States Supreme Court. 
 
Separately, in April 2000, the Commission released a Report and Order addressing issues related to the formula used to calculate just and reasonable rates that utilities charge for pole attachments.  Petitions for reconsideration of both the 1998 and 2000 orders were resolved by Order released in May 2001, excluding the issues currently before the United States Supreme Court.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 614(b)(4)(B) of the Communications Act requires that, at the time the Commission prescribes standards for advanced television, it should "initiate a proceeding to establish any changes in the signal carriage requirements of cable television systems necessary to ensure cable carriage of those broadcast signals of local commercial television stations which have been changed to conform with such modified standards." In August of 1998, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comments on the requirements of that section.  In June 2000, based on responses to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission clarified that DTV-only television stations, in the context of auctioning analog channels 59-69, will ultimately have must carry rights.  In January of 2001, the Commission issued a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking resolving a number of technical and legal issues, including clarification that digital-only TV stations are entitled to mandatory carriage.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 613 of the Communications Act requires the Commission to "prescribe rules and regulations establishing reasonable limits on the number of cable subscribers a person is authorized to reach through cable systems owned by such person, or in which such person has an attributable interest."  On October 8, 1999, the Commission issued a Third Report and Order, FCC 99-289, in this matter.  The Commission revised the horizontal ownership rules as follows:  (1) all multichannel video subscribers will be counted when calculating the 30 percent ownership limit; (2) actual subscriber numbers, rather than potential subscriber numbers, will be used for calculating an owner's share; and (3) the minority exception which allowed a 35 percent ownership limit for minority-owned entities under certain circumstances was eliminated.  On March 2, 2001, the District of Columbia Circuit Court reversed and remanded the cable subscriber limits.  Pursuant to the court's remand, the Commission is reexamining its rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Retransmission Consent Issues - SHVIA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999 (SHVIA) requires broadcasters, until the year 2006, to negotiate in good faith with satellite carriers and other multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) with respect to their transmission of the broadcasters' signals, and prohibits broadcasters from entering into exclusive retransmission agreements. 

The First Report and Order (Order) determined that the statute does not intend to subject retransmission consent negotiation to detailed substantive oversight by the Commission.  Instead, the Order concludes that Congress intended that the Commission follow established precedent, particularly in the field of labor law, in implementing the good faith retransmission consent negotiation requirement.  Consistent with this conclusion, the Order adopts a two-part test for good faith.  The first part of the test consists of a brief, objective list of negotiation standards. The second part of the good faith test is based on a totality of the circumstances standard.  Under this standard, an MVPD may present facts to the Commission which, even though they do not allege a violation of the specific standards enumerated above, given the totality of the circumstances constitute a failure to negotiate in good faith.  The Commission's rules regarding the good faith negotiation requirement sunset on January 1, 2006.  An MVPD believing itself to be aggrieved may file a complaint with the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Satellite Broadcasting Signal Carriage Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999 (SHVIA) requires satellite carriers, by January 1, 2002, to carry upon request all local broadcast stations' signals.  These signals must be carried in all local markets in which the satellite carriers carry at least one broadcast station signal, assuming this signal is licensed pursuant to section 122 of the Copyright Act.  The SHVIA requires the Commission to issue rules implementing the Act's mandatory carriage requirements within one year of the SHVIA's enactment.  On November 29, 2000 the Commission adopted a Report and Order that places satellite carriers on equal footing with cable operators with respect to the availability of programming.  The applicable statutory provisions are found in section 1008 of the SHVIA and codified at section 338 of the Communications Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>In the Matter of Amendment of Part 73, Subpart G, of the Commission&apos;s Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted new rules to replace the old Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) with a new Emergency Alert System (EAS), in order to alert the public in the event of a national emergency.  The Report and Order requires broadcast stations and cable TV systems to participate in the EAS and streamlines operational procedures for system participants.  The new rules prescribe how existing communications services such as broadcasting, cable, and other public service providers will function under the technical standards and operational procedures of the new system.  It also removed the old part of the Commission's rules concerning EBS in its entirety and incorporated the new EAS rules in a new part of the Code of Federal Regulations.  

The Commission issued a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) seeking comments regarding whether the Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS), Satellite Master Antenna TV (SMATV) system, and Video Dial Tone should also be required to participate in EAS.  It also sought comments on several cable issues such as whether a defined class of small cable systems should be exempted from participation in EAS, and how the Commission should define small cable systems.  The Commission subsequently adopted a Second Report and Order to (1) modify EAS as it applied to cable systems; (2) address whether other video providers should be required to participate in the system; and (3) adopt rules to address issues of concern to persons with hearing disabilities.  

In response to concerns that voluntary EAS activations could interrupt the transmission of emergency programming by local broadcast stations, the Commission issued a Second Further NPRM requesting comment on whether it should adopt rules to prohibit cable systems from transmitting EAS alerts for state or local emergencies during the broadcast of emergency programming by a broadcast station.  In the Third Report and Order, the Commission amended its rules to permit cable systems and broadcast systems to enter into voluntary agreements regarding the transmission of local emergency information.  The Commission, however, declined to adopt rules requiring cable systems to prevent the interruption of local broadcast station emergency programming.  In April 2000, the Commission issued an order in which it deleted obsolete rules or rules that were no longer needed.

In March 2001, the Commission issued an NPRM proposing various revisions to the EAS rules and seeking comment on requests for rule changes filed by the National Weather Service and the Society of Broadcast Engineers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Streamlining the Commission&apos;s Rules and Regulations for Satellite Application and Licensing Procedures; IB Docket No. 95-117</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 10, 1997, the FCC adopted rules and policies that streamlined the application and licensing requirements of part 25 of its rules, which deals with communication satellites and earth stations. The streamlined rules waived the construction permit requirement for satellite space stations; changed the license term for temporary fixed earth stations; and adjusted or changed the rules concerning minor modifications and basic requirements for satellite service applications. The streamlined rules also resulted in the creation of a new application form, FCC Form 312. Form 312 eliminated from the International Bureau's use the FCC Form 493, FCC Form 430, FCC Form 702, and FCC Form 704. Petitions for Reconsideration were filed in this matter. In March 1997 the Commission released a Public Notice concerning these petitions, which are presently pending before the International Bureau.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission seeks to develop a record and to solicit comments on the proposed policies. The proposed policies are designed to ensure that sufficient spectrum is available to operate a viable and independent U.S.-licensed mobile satellite service system in the L-band. The proposed policies, to the extent possible, also seek to make any additional spectrum coordinated internationally available for mobile satellite service systems. The proposed policies impose no additional burdens. In order to be effective, these rules must apply to all licenses and thus there is no significant alternative.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted a band plan which designates band segments in the 27.5-30.0 GHz frequency band for several types of wireless systems. This decision clears the way for licensing local multipoint distribution service (LMDS) providers, fixed satellite service (FSS) systems, and feeder links for certain mobile satellite service systems. The commercialization of this spectrum enables consumers to receive emerging domestic and global technology via multiple service providers. In October 1997, the Commission adopted a Third Report and Order which promulgated licensing qualification requirements and service rules for FSS systems in the Ka-band.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Policy To Allow Non-U.S. Licensed Space Stations To Provide Service in the United States; IB Docket No. 96-111; CC Docket No. 93-23</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FCC adopted a Report and Order establishing a public interest framework for evaluating requests by non-U.S. satellites to serve the U.S. market. The Order implements the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement under which the United States committed to allow foreign suppliers to provide basic telecommunications services, including satellite services in the United States. The FCC adopted a presumption in favor of entry for non-U.S. satellites licensed in WTO member countries providing WTO-covered services. The FCC adopted an effective competitive opportunities (ECO-SAT) test for non-U.S. satellites licensed in non-WTO countries providing WTO-covered services, as well as for any commercial non-U.S. satellite providing services for which the United States did not make market commitments in the WTO Agreement. The FCC also established entry requirements for intergovernmental satellite organizations and their affiliates. In addition, the FCC adopted other public interest standards regarding spectrum availability and eligibility and operating requirements, as well as establishing access and filing procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FCC has decided to withdraw from acting as an accounting authority for the settlement of accounts in the maritime mobile and maritime mobile-satellite (ship-to-shore) radio services, and to rely solely upon the various privately owned accounting authorities the FCC has authorized. In that connection the FCC amended section 3.10(e) of its rules to specify that private accounting authorities must serve the public non-discriminatorily. (action 7-13-99) The Commission is gathering comment to develop a plan to ensure a smooth transition to private accounting authorities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FCC has proposed to adopt rules to facilitate transnational use of mobile terminals used for 2-way voice communication via satellite systems with global or international coverage.  In the same NPRM the FCC proposed to adopt limits on out-of-band emissions from some global mobile personal communications by satellite terminals in order to protect reception of aeronautical satellite radionavigation signals in the 1559-1610 MHz band.  The FCC also asked for comment on the advisability of adopting rules requiring providers of mobile telecommunication service via satellite to provide 911 emergency-calling features.]]></ABSTRACT>

The FCC proposes three streamlining options: (1) a demonstration that the route on which the proposed cable would operate is or will become competitive; (2) a demonstration of sufficient independence of control of the proposed cable from control of existing capacity on the route; or (3) the existence of certain pro-competitive arrangements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Streamlining Earth Station Licensing Rules; IB Docket No. 00-248</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has found several cases in which modifying or eliminating rules could facilitate licensing of earth stations, thereby expediting the provision of useful satellite services to the public, without unreasonably increasing the risk of harmful interference to existing earth station or space station operators, or terrestrial wireless operators in shared frequency bands.  

Specifically, this NPRM considers the following rule revisions:  (1) codifying streamlined procedures for case-by-case examination of earth stations using "non-routine" antennas, non-routine power levels, or both; (2) relaxing some current requirements, such as increasing power and power density limits, and allowing some temporary fixed earth stations to begin operation sooner than is now permitted; (3) streamlining the very small aperture terminal (VSAT) rules, and revising the Commission's power level rules to provide for various types of VSAT multiple access methods; (4) adopting a simplified license application form for "routine" earth stations; and (5) other miscellaneous rule revisions.  The Commission also invites comment on extending these proposed rules to the Ka-band.]]></ABSTRACT>

The NPRM proposes amending the procedures for filing pro forma assignments and transfers of control of Section 214 international authorizations, eliminating the benchmark settlement rate condition, and modifying the rules requiring dominant international carriers to seek prior approval to discontinue service.  The NPRM will clarify rules and eliminate others no longer needed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of Technical Rules in Parts 73 and 74 (MM Docket No. 98-93)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Second Report and Order in this radio technical streamlining proceeding continues the Commission's efforts to make the broadcast application process simpler, faster, and more efficient.  In the Second Report and Order, the Commission amended the separation requirements for short-spaced FM stations, section 73.215(e), to afford second- and third-adjacent channel stations minimum relief of six kilometers from the full spacing requirements of section 73.207.  The order also expands the types of facility changes covered by expedited one-step licensing procedures and provides additional technical flexibility to FM stations licensed to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  The order also relaxes noncommercial educational FM second adjacent channel standard and establishes a noncommercial educational FM community coverage standard.  Finally, the item creates a new commercial FM class, class C-zero, and a mechanism to reclassify class C stations that do not meet the new class minimum antenna height where there is a competing demand for spectrum.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Report and Order eliminates the Commission rule that prohibited a broadcast licensee from having more than one experimental radio station license without first making a showing that its program of research requires a licensing of two or more separate stations.  The rule was eliminated because other Commission rules prohibit the harms this rule was meant to address.  Additionally, elimination of the rule would allow licensees to devote their resources to research more efficiently during the operation of experimental broadcast stations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ancillary or Supplemental Use of DTV Capacity by Non-Commercial Licensees (MM Docket No. 98-203)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 23, 1998, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in MM Docket No. 98-203 in response to a Petition for Reconsideration of the Fifth Report and Order in the digital television (DTV) proceeding that was filed by the Association of America's Public Television Stations and the Public Broadcasting  Service. The NPRM seeks comment on whether, and under what conditions, noncommercial educational (NCE) television licensees should be permitted to offer ancillary or supplementary services, including subscription television, on a remunerative  basis. In particular, the NPRM seeks comment on whether and how the Commission should amend section 73.621 of the Commission's rules, which requires NCE stations to  provide a noncommercial service that "primarily" serves the educational needs of the  community. The NPRM also seeks comment on how the advertising ban set forth in  section 399B of the Communications Act implicates the provision of remunerative services by public DTV stations. The NPRM tentatively concludes that, while section 399B continues to apply to all video broadcast programming streams provided by public DTV stations, it does not apply to any subscription services they provide on their DTV channels, since such services do not constitute "broadcasting." In addition, the NPRM seeks comment on the extent to which section 399B applies to other, non-subscription ancillary or supplementary services carried by an NCE station. Finally, the NPRM seeks comment on whether NCE licensees should be exempt from DTV fees under section 366 of the Communications Act when they offer ancillary or supplementary services as a source of funding for their mission related activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Periodic Review of Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to DTV (MM Docket No. 00-39)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 18, 2001, the Commission adopted a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making (FCC 01-24), in which it took a number of actions concerning the transition to digital television.  In the Report and Order it imposed a channel election requirement, requiring commercial television stations with two in-core channels (i.e., channels 2-51) to elect their post-transition digital channel by December 31, 2003. This will allow the Commission to more quickly identify channels available to accommodate Digital Television (DTV) licensees with out-of-core transition channels and new entrants.  (Questions concerning the priority as to channel assignment - e.g., should stations that must move to a new channel have the highest priority and get the first selection of channels that are returned - and processing issues, as well as the question of whether any channels should be placed off-limits for use by DTV licensees were left to future rulemaking proceedings.) 

Additionally, while full replication by DTV licensees of the National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) service area remains an important Commission objective, the Commission did not impose a full replication DTV requirement.  Instead, it determined that, after December 31, 2004, whatever portion of a commercial broadcaster's NTSC Grade B contour is not replicated with its digital television signal will simply cease to be protected in the DTV Table of Allotments.  This was intended to provide broadcasters with the incentive to continue service to most of their current viewers without the need for a Commission rule.  The Commission did, however, impose an enhanced service obligation that will require licensees to encompass their communities of license with a stronger signal than that with which they had, or will have, to commence DTV operations.  The Commission also discussed and resolved DTV application cut-off procedures, how it will resolve any mutual exclusivities that arise, and a host of technical issues.  Importantly, the Commission determined that at this time there is no persuasive information to indicate that there is any deficiency in the 8-Vestigial Side Band (8-VSB) modulation system of the DTV transmission standard that would cause it to revisit its decision to deny Sinclair Broadcasting Group, Inc.'s, petition and add Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex to the current 8-VSB DTV standard, or to grant Univision Communications Inc.'s Petition for Expedited Rule Making to that same effect.  The Commission also declined to adopt technical performance standards for DTV receivers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This item seeks comment on a range of issues related to application of our existing children's programming rules to digital broadcasting. The NPRM focuses primarily on two areas: the obligation of commercial television broadcast licensees to provide educational and informational programming for children and the requirement that television broadcast licensees limit the amount of advertising in children's programs.

In addition, this document seeks comment on how to address the issue of the airing in programs viewed by children promotions that may be inappropriate for children to watch. Although this document seeks comment largely on challenges unique to the digital area, it also discusses several issues that apply equally to analog and digital broadcasting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Radio Market Definitions (MM Docket No. 00-244)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a result of finding in its Biennial Review Report (65 FR 43333; July 13, 2000) that the Commission's methods for defining radio markets and counting both the number of stations in a radio market and counting the number of stations an entity owns in such a market may be having results that frustrate the structure of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making in MM Docket No. 00-244.  That Notice, which was adopted December 6, 2000, sought comment on alternative methods for defining radio markets, including using Arbitron or other commercially defined market definitions in place of the Commission's current "contour overlap" method. It also sought comment on alternative methods for determining the number of stations in a radio market and for counting the number of stations a party owns in that market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This item concerns rules and policies on how commercial television broadcast station licensees provide public interest information to the public.  This document proposes amendments to the public inspection file rules that would standardize the format used for providing public interest information to the public and make information contained in public inspection files available on the Internet.  The intended effect of this action is to propose rules that would make information regarding how television broadcast stations meet their fundamental public interest obligation to serve the needs and interests of their communities of license easier to understand or more accessible to the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Millimeter Wave Spectrum Allocation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The millimeter wave spectrum allocation proceeding began in October 1994 with the adoption of the first Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). The purpose of the proceeding was to open the radio frequency spectrum above 40 GHz for commercial development. Millimeter wave technology is expected to support many short-range applications that require very high bandwidth, such as educational and medical applications, wireless access to libraries or other information databases, and automotive vehicle radar systems for collision avoidance. The Commission has allocated this spectrum for licensed services and unlicensed uses.  The Third Report and Order adopted rules that will encourage the commercial development and use of millimeter wave frequencies above 40 GHz, and adopted rules to establish a spectrum etiquette for unlicensed operation in the 59-64 GHz band.  

A Public Notice was issued to solicit comments from interested parties regarding harmonizing U.S. and European spectrum allocations above 40 GHz.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Second Memorandum Opinion and Order confirmed the Commission's decision to require new MSS licensees to bear the cost of relocating incumbent licensees in these bands.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The MO&O amends the rules to permit fixed, point to point unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) devices in the 5.725-5.285 GHz band to operate with one-watt maximum transmitter output power and directional antennas of up to 23 db:gain. It clarifies the rules regarding unwanted emissions and specifies these limits in terms of absolute radiated power levels. These actions will add to the flexibility and capability of U-NII operations without causing an increase in harmful interference to incumbent operations sharing the same spectrum.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dedicated Short Range Communications of Intelligent Transportation Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FCC proposes to allocate 75 megahertz of spectrum for use by Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). DSRC systems are being designed that require a short range, wireless link to transfer information between vehicles and roadside systems. ITS services are expected to improve traveler safety, decrease traffic congestion, and facilitate reduction of air pollution and conservation of fossil fuels. This action furthers the goal of the U.S. Congress, the Department of Transportation, and the ITS industry to improve the efficiency of the Nation's transportation infrastructure and facilitate the growth of the ITS industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposes to amend the rules to provide the option of private sector approval of equipment that currently requires an approval by the Commission. It also proposes rule changes to implement a mutual recognition agreement (MRA) for product approvals with the European Community (EC) and to allow for similar agreements with other foreign trade parties. These actions are intended to eliminate the need for manufacturers to wait for approval from the FCC before marketing equipment in the United States, thereby reducing the time needed to bring a product to market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The First Report and Order allocated 50 MHz of spectrum on the 3650-3700 MHz band to the fixed and mobile (base stations) terrestrial services on a primary basis.  It also ensures the continuity of fixed satellite service (FSS) operations and permits new FSS operations to help alleviate congestion in the adjacent 3700-4200 MHz FSS band.  

The Second Notice of Proposed Rule Making proposes to establish licensing and service rules for the assignment of fixed and mobile services licenses in the 3650-3700 MHz band.  It also seeks comments on whether technical requirements or other reasons justify licensing the 3650-3700 MHz and the 4940-4990 MHz band at the same time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Report and Order in this proceeding permits non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) fixed-satellite service (FSS) providers to operate in certain segments of the Ku-band, and it adopted rules and policies to govern such operations.  NGSO FSS can provide a variety of new services to the public, such as high speed Internet access, plus other types of high speed data, video and telephony services.  NGSO FSS can bring advanced services to rural areas.  We also conclude that a new terrestrial fixed Multichannel Video Distribution and Data Service can share the 12.2-12.7 GHz band with satellite operations without causing harmful interference.]]></ABSTRACT>

The transfer of these bands to non-Government use should enable the development of new technologies and services, provide additional spectrum relief for congested private land mobile frequencies, and fulfill our obligation as mandated by Congress to assign this spectrum for non-Government use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Section 1.1204 of the Commission&apos;s Ex Parte Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposes to amend its regulations specifying presentations that are treated as exempt under the ex parte rules.  Under the current rule, presentations to or from the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission regarding telecommunications competition matters are treated as exempt.  The item would expand the scope of the exemption to include the Competition Directorate of the European Commission and other international and foreign bodies with analogous functions.  The item would clarify that the term "telecommunications competition matters" in the existing rules was intended to be construed broadly and was not limited to common carriers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Resale and Roaming Obligations Pertaining to Commercial Mobile Radio Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On an interim basis, the First Report and Order extends to broadband PCS and covered SMR providers the cellular rule that prohibits restricting resale of communications services. The new rules sunset five years after the last group of initial licensees for currently allocated broadband PCS spectrum is awarded. The rules also eliminate all exceptions to the rule that allowed cellular licensees to restrict resale by competing with fully operational cellular licensees in the same geographic market. The Commission successfully adopted a Second Report and Order and Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this proceeding. The Second Report and Order extends the Commission's cellular rules on manual roaming by any individual whose handset is capable of accessing the network of a cellular, broadband PCS, or covered SMR provider. The Third NPRM, among other things, sought comment on whether the Commission should adopt rules requiring cellular, broadband PCS, and covered SMR providers to provide automatic roaming in their coverage areas, and whether both automatic and manual roaming requirements should sunset five years after the initial grant of PCS licenses. The Third MO&O generally affirmed the Commission's earlier decision to extend the cellular resale rule to include certain PCS and SMR providers and to sunset the rule until November 24, 2002. However, it modified the prior decision by removing customer premise equipment (CPE) and CPE in bundled packages from the scope of the resale rule, by revising the scope of the resale rule to exclude all C, D, E, and F block PCS licensees that do not own and control and are not controlled by cellular or A or B block licensees, and by exempting from the rule all SMR and other CMRS providers that do not utilize in-network switching facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Policy and Rules Concerning the Interstate, Interexchange Marketplace; Implementation of Section 254(g) of the Communications Act of 1934, As Amended</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 25, 1996, the Commission released an NPRM seeking comment on its proposal that nondominant interexchange carriers should no longer file tariffs. On October 29, 1996, the Commission adopted the Second Report and Order in which it determined that the statutory forbearance criteria in section 10 of the Communications Act were met for complete detariffing of the interstate, domestic, interexchange services offered by nondominant interexchange carriers. The Commission determined that such carriers would no longer be allowed to file tariffs pursuant to section 203 of the Communications Act for such services, with limited exceptions. The Commission maintained the tariffing requirement for the international portion of bundled domestic and international service offerings. It further required nondominant interexchange carriers to: (1) file an annual certification stating that they are in compliance with the requirements of section 254(g); (2) maintain supporting documentation on the rates, terms, and conditions of their interstate, domestic, interexchange services that they could submit to the Commission within ten business days upon request; and (3) make publicly available information concerning current rates, terms, and conditions for all of their interstate, domestic interexchange services. Several parties appealed, requesting a stay of the Second Report and Order pending review by the D.C. Circuit. On February 13, 1997, the D.C. Circuit granted certain motions, including a motion for a stay of the Commission's detariffing order. The result was that nondominant interexchange carriers were required to file tariffs for their interstate, domestic, interexchange service. On August 20, 1997, the Commission released an Order on Reconsideration in which it modified the Second Report and Order by: (1) adopting permissive detariffing for interstate, domestic, interexchange direct-dial services to which end users obtain access by dialing an access code; (2) adopting permissive detariffing for the first 45 days of service to new customers that contact the local exchange carrier to choose their primary interexchange carrier; and (3) eliminating the requirement that nondominant interexchange carriers make publicly available information concerning current rates and terms for most interstate, domestic interexchange services.

In the Second Order on Reconsideration, the Commission considered again whether nondominant interexchange carriers (IXCs) should be required to make available to the public information concerning the rates, terms and conditions for all their interstate, domestic, interexchange services. Like other common carriers, IXCs historically have been required to file tariffs with the appropriate regulatory body (this Commission, in the case of interstate services) establishing the rates, terms, and conditions of service. The tariff does not simply serve as a public source of such information; under the judicially created "filed-rate" doctrine, the tariffed rate for a service is the only lawful rate that the carrier may charge for that service. Even if a carrier intentionally misrepresents its rate and a customer relies on the misrepresentation, the carrier cannot be held to the promised rate if it conflicts with the tariffed rate. When a single carrier dominated the interstate interexchange market, tariffing was an effective tool for ensuring compliance with various common carrier requirements, including rules that require nondiscrimination among customers.  

On April 28, 2000, the Court of Appeals upheld the Commission's orders requiring detariffing of domestic, interexchange services and lifted the stay on May 1, 2000.  The Common Carrier Bureau issued a Public Notice on May 9, 2000 requesting comment on the nine-month transition plan set out in the Second Report and Order.  The Bureau requested comment on (1) whether permissive detariffing should be permitted during all or part of the nine-month transition period for bundled domestic and international service offerings; (2) how quickly the IXCs can come into full compliance with the Web posting requirement; and (3) whether any other modifications should be made to the transition plan.  Comments were filed on May 31, 2000, and reply comments were filed on June 9, 2000.  

By Public Notice dated November 6, 2000, the Common Carrier Bureau extended the transition period until April 30, 2001, for mass market consumer services only.  On November 17, 2000, the Common Carrier Bureau issued an Order that addressed the comments filed in response to the May 9, 2000 Public Notice.  Specifically, the bureau addressed issues relating to the transition period, public disclosure, and certification requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administration of the North American Numbering Plan, Carrier Identification Codes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1994, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in CC Docket No. 92-237 addressing various issues relating to NANP administration, including carrier identification codes (CICs). On April 30, 1996, the FCC issued a Public Notice to refresh the record in this Docket. On April 11, 1997, the FCC released a Second Report and Order affirming its tentative conclusion in the NPRM of the industry's plan to convert 3-digit Feature Group D (FGD) Carrier Identification Codes (CICs) to 4-digit. On October 9, 1997, the FCC released the CICs' Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comments on the definition of "entity" used to determine who may receive a CIC, and on CIC conservation issues. On October 22, 1997, the Commission released CIC's Order on Reconsideration, Order on Application For Review, and Second FNPRM. The Order on Application For Review denied VarTec Telecom Inc.'s Application for Review of the Common Carrier Bureau's (CCB's) decision to deny VarTec's Motion for Stay of the CIC's Second Report and Order. The Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking tentatively concludes that eventually all Local Exchange Carriers (LEC) end offices should be required to provide equal access. In December 1997 and January 1998, the CCB's Network Service Division released five Orders addressing petitions for waiver filed by small LECs, requesting extension of the January 1, 1998 deadline for conversion of switches to 4-digit. On January 28, 1998, the Network Services Division released an Order addressing a petition filed by a LEC seeking a waiver of 5-digit CIC dialing during the permissive dialing period.  The last waiver of the permissive dialing period, where users could use either 5 or 7 digit carrier access code dialing, ended successfully on December 31, 1999.  Several petitions were received in the first half of calendar year 2000 that may require the issuance of a Public Notice to refresh the record of the FNPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>1998 Biennial Regulatory Review -- Review of Customer Premises Equipment and Enhanced Services Unbundling Rules in the Interexchange, Exchange Access and Local Exchange Markets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking examined the need for certain restrictions on a common carrier's ability to bundle customer premises equipment (CPE) enhanced services and regulated telecommunications services.  

On March 30, 2001, the Commission released a Report and Order eliminating the Computer II restriction on the ability of all common carriers, both dominant and non-dominant, to offer consumers bundled packages of telecommunications services and CPE.  The Commission found that consumers can benefit significantly by relying on the competitive markets that exist for the components contained in a bundle, and that carriers in all markets demonstrated a desire to compete for customers through bundled services offerings.  Although the local exchange market is not substantially competitive and there are some risks associated with allowing incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) to bundle CPE with local service, the Commission found that is appropriate to grant incumbent LECs the same relief for CPE bundling as it granted to nondominant carriers.  The Commission based this finding on the 1996 Act's elimination of barriers to entry into the local market, increasing competition for local exchange service, and the increased subscribership and other benefits associated with cellular service that occurred after the Commission removed CPE bundling restrictions for that service in 1992.

For enhanced services, the Commission did not eliminate the Computer II bundling requirement that facilities-based carriers offer the underlying transmission service used to provide an enhanced service separately and on non-discriminatory terms.  It clarified, however, that this requirement does not prohibit carriers from offering a package of enhanced services and telecommunications service at a single price as long as they make the transmission service component separately available.  As a result of this finding, internet service providers and other enhanced service providers will continue to have access to the critical input that they need from incumbent LECs and other carriers to compete in the enhanced services market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Rules Governing Procedures To Be Followed When Formal Complaints Are Filed Against Common Carriers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this final proceeding the FCC revised and clarified the procedural rules governing the filing of formal complaints with the FCC.  We further responded to and denied petitions for reconsideration, challenging the new procedures.  See Order on Reconsideration, 16 FCC Rcd 5681 released March 7, 2001.  The objective of the Order focused on promoting settlement efforts, enhancing the contents of pleadings, and streamlining complaint procedures generally.  The rule amendments (1) require parties to engage in certain pre-filing activities, including settlement discussions and information exchange; (2) created an additional recipient for service of process of formal complaints on carriers; (3) improved the format and content of pleadings; and (4) streamlined the discovery process.  In July, the FCC released an announcement indicating the effective date for the rules as July 5, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of a Class A Television Service (MM Docket Nos. 00-10, 99-292)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 28, 2000, the Commission adopted a Report and Order in this proceeding.  This Report and Order implemented the Community Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999, which directed the Commission to establish a Class A television service to provide a measure of primary status to certain low-power television stations.  This Report and Order addresses a wide range of issues related to the implementation of the statute, including the protected service area of Class A stations, Class A interference protection requirements vis-a-vis other TV stations, eligibility criteria for Class A status, common ownership restrictions applicable to Class A stations, the treatment of modification applications filed by Class A licensees, and general operating requirements.  On April 5, 2001, the Commission adopted a Memorandum Opinion and Order to dispose of petitions for reconsideration.  On reconsideration, the Commission makes changes to some of the Commission's rules and provides clarification for other rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission amended parts 2 and 87 of the Commission's rules in order to delete the unused non-Government radionavigation service allocation at 31.8-32.3 GHz and to also remove this frequency segment from the list of available frequencies set forth in the rules for the Aviation Services.  This action will obviate concerns for interference to the reception of deep space radio communications in the band 31.8-32.3 GHz from co-channel, non-Federal Government radionavigation transmissions that could otherwise occur in the future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The goal of this proceeding, a Third Order on Reconsideration, is to pave the way for the auctioning and licensing of the Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS), a fixed broadband point-to-point wireless service that has significant potential in offering a broad range of one-way and two-way voice-video and data service capabilities, and a substantial amount of capacity that is larger than is currently available in wireless services. This Order was adopted and released on February 11, 1998. The Fourth Report and Order adopted partitioning and disaggregation rules for LMDS.]]></ABSTRACT>

That initiative did not lead to a proposed rule.  Instead, the FDIC plans to revisit the issue with a new ANPRM on alternative options for the deposit component of the assessment base and on options regarding the float deduction and use of average daily deposit balances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Capital Maintenance--Recourse Arrangements and Direct Credit Substitutes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The interagency rulemaking revises risk-based capital standards by addressing the regulatory capital treatment of recourse obligations and direct credit substitutes that expose banks, bank holding companies, and thrifts to credit risk. The revision treats recourse obligations and direct credit substitutes more consistently than under the agencies' current risk-based capital standards. In addition, the revision allows the agencies to use credit ratings and certain alternative approaches to match the risk-based capital requirement more closely to a banking organization's relative risk of loss in asset securitizations. The rulemaking also requires the sponsor of a revolving credit securitization that involves an early amortization feature to hold capital against the amount of assets under management; i.e., the off balance sheet securitized receivables. The rulemaking is intended to result in more consistent treatment of recourse obligations and similar transactions among the agencies, more consistent risk-based capital treatment for certain types of transactions involving similar risk, and capital requirements that more closely reflect a banking organization's relative exposure to credit risk.  This rulemaking and the rulemaking on residual interests (see 3064-AC34) are interrelated in that both address the regulatory capital treatment for residual interests in securitizations and other financial asset transfers.  The agencies participating in these two rulemakings are ensuring that the treatment of residual interests will be consistent and may issue a single combined final rule rather than separate final rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal, sponsored jointly by the OCC, the FRS, and the FDIC, would establish qualifications for banks that sell certain securities to their customers without having to register as a broker under the Securities Exchange Act. FDIC staff are contemplating a recommendation to rescind this proposal and replace it with a second NPRM to exempt banks from registering with the NASD/SEC as securities brokers or dealers in the event that they qualify under any of the exemption criteria in Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act sections 201 or 202 (see NPRM described at 3064-AC42).]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule reduces the risk weight applied to claims on, and claims guaranteed by, qualifying securities firms incorporated in countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) from 100 percent to 20 percent under the Agencies' risk-based capital rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interagency rulemaking amends capital rules to restrict excessive concentrations in residual interests by limiting the amount that are included in Tier 1 capital for both leverage and risk-based capital purposes.  Residual interests in excess of this limitation would be deducted from Tier 1 capital.  The rulemaking also requires that risk-based capital be held in an amount equal to the amount of residual interests that are within this limitation.  This rulemaking and the rulemaking on recourse and direct credit substitutes (see 3064-AB31) are interrelated in that both address the regulatory capital treatment for residual interests in securitizations and other financial asset transfers.  The agencies participating in these two rulemakings are ensuring that the treatment of residual interests will be consistent and may issue a single combined final rule rather than separate final rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule was developed in consultation with the OCC, the FRS, and the OTS (Agencies). It amends FDIC's risk-based capital standards to make the standards uniform with the Agencies' treatments for transactions supported by collateral. The effect of the proposal is to allow banks to hold less capital for certain transactions collateralized by cash or qualifying securities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Capital Requirements for Federal Home Loan Banks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 20, 2000, the Finance Board adopted regulations implementing a new capital structure for the Banks as required by the Federal Home Loan Bank System Modernization Act of 1999. To help assure smooth implementation of the new capital structure, the Finance Board issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) to seek information as to whether recent actions by other regulatory bodies, changes in the economy, or issues not previously identified by the Banks may require additions or amendments to the capital regulations. The ANPR was followed by an NPRM and final rule setting forth additional conforming amendments and clarifications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Financial Responsibility Requirements for Nonperformance of Transportation and Inquiry Into Alternative Forms (Docket No. 94-06; Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend financial responsibility requirements regarding nonperformance by passenger vessel operators by eliminating the $15 million unearned passenger revenue ceiling. It would be replaced by sliding-scale coverage requirements keyed to operators' financial rating, length of operations in U.S. trades, and satisfactory explanation of any claims of nonperformance. For self-insurers, the rule proposes to reestablish a working capital requirement and require third-party coverage for 25 percent of unearned passenger revenue. The action also proposes to require applications for certificates (performance) to be filed at least 90 days prior to advertising, arranging, or providing transportation. Suggestions for alternative approaches also are solicited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Port Restrictions and Requirements in the United States/Japan Trade (Docket No. 96-20)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposed to impose fees on liner vessels operated by Japanese carriers calling at U.S. ports, in response to apparent unfavorable conditions in the foreign oceanborne trade between the United States and Japan. The effect of the rule was to adjust or meet unfavorable conditions caused by Japanese port restrictions and requirements by imposing countervailing burdens on Japanese carriers. A final rule was issued, but its effective date was suspended.  The Commission subsequently determined to remove that suspended final rule, as market developments had overtaken its findings.  Beginning August 26, 1999, and every 180 days thereafter, the FMC has required U.S. and Japanese ocean common carriers in the U.S.-Japan trade to provide reports addressing the status of efforts to reform conditions unfavorable to shipping in the U.S.-Japan trade. Areas for reporting included reform of the "prior consultation" system for pre-approving carriers' service changes in Japan; entry of non-Japanese carriers into Japan's harbor services market; and Government of Japan proposals for broader harbor services deregulation. Effective November 7, 2001, and every 180 days thereafter, the reporting requirements have been revised to include effects of recent changes in Japanese laws and ordinances; continued application of the "prior consultation" system for pre-approving carriers' service changes in Japan; and entry of new entities into Japan's harbor services market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 204 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act added a new subsection (t) to section 18 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act requiring the Board, in consultation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to establish recordkeeping requirements for state member banks and branches and agencies of foreign banks that rely on the exceptions from the definition of broker or dealer provided in section 3(a)(4) or (5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Board anticipates issuing for public comment a rule that would implement these recordkeeping requirements. It is not anticipated that the proposal would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities subject to the Board's regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In November 2000, the Board issued for public comment an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on the possible development of a simplified capital framework for non-complex banking organizations (65 FR 66193, November 3, 2000). The options outlined in the proposal include a simplified risk-based framework, a leverage ratio-only approach, or a modified leverage ratio approach. Such a framework could relieve the regulatory burden associated with the existing capital rules for many non-complex domestic banking institutions. The main objective of this proposal is to obtain preliminary views from the industry and the public regarding such a framework. Following review of the public comments, the Board will decide whether to move forward with a more detailed proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the regular review of its regulations and in accordance with requirements of section 303 of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994, and section 610(c) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1994, the Board is conducting a review of its margin regulations. In order to complete this review, the Board approved issuing for public comment an advance notice of proposed rulemaking in December 1997 (63 FR 2840, January 16, 1998). The advance notice highlights issues raised by interested persons in response to previous requests for comment that had not been addressed by the Board in the course of its periodic review. It also provides an opportunity to further harmonize the treatment of bank and nonbank lenders under the revised Regulation U adopted by the Board at the same time as the advance notice. The advance notice also invites comment on all areas of the regulations.

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: Y -- Bank Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act) makes a number of miscellaneous amendments to sections 3, 4, and 5 of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act) and adds a new section 10A to the BHC Act. These amendments, among other things, prohibit the Board from determining that new activities are closely related to banking under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act; streamline the Board's reporting, examination, and other supervisory authority over bank holding companies and their subsidiaries; reduce the restrictions applicable to companies that control "nonbank banks" that are exempt from the nonbanking restrictions of the BHC Act under section 4(f) of that Act; and repeal the savings bank life insurance provisions currently set forth in section 3(g) of the BHC Act. 

The Board will consider issuing for public comment amendments to Regulation Y to implement the provisions of the GLB Act affecting the BHC Act that are not addressed in proposed rules described elsewhere in the Board's agenda. It is not anticipated that the proposals will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities subject to the Board's regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: BB -- Community Reinvestment (Docket Number: R-1112)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1995, the Board issued Regulation BB which implements the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Substantially similar regulations were issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). The regulations' goal was to achieve more objective performance-based CRA examinations and to minimize burden. At the time these regulations were issued, the agencies committed to conducting a 2002 comprehensive review of the regulations' effectiveness in achieving this goal.

In July 2001, the Board, the OCC, FDIC, and OTS issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) (66 FR 37602, July 19, 2001). The notice identifies key issues in addition to requesting comment generally on potential revisions to the regulation. The Board is also reviewing the regulation in accordance with requirements of section 610(c) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1994.

The first issue presented in the ANPR is whether any change to the regulations is necessary and warranted, in light of the burden that change would entail. Other issues include: the effectiveness of the evaluation methods set forth in the regulations; the effectiveness of the requirement that large financial institutions collect and report data on small business, small farm, and community development lending; and whether the regulations have provided a reasonable and sufficient standard for designating the communities within which a financial institution's activities will be evaluated during a CRA examination.

It is not anticipated that any rule proposed for public comment would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities subject to the Board's regulation. Following review of the public comments, the Board is expected to take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: B -- Equal Credit Opportunity (Docket Number: R-1008)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1998, Regulation B, which implements the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), was targeted for a review to update the regulation. The ECOA makes it unlawful for creditors to discriminate against an applicant, in any aspect of a credit transaction, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, marital status, age, and other specified bases.  In March 1998, the Board issued for public comment an advance notice of proposed rulemaking for Regulation B  that identified specific issues, in addition to requesting comment on revisions to the regulation (63 FR 12326, March 12, 1998).

In August 1999, following review of the public comments on the advance notice, the Board issued for public comment a proposed rule amending Regulation B (64 FR 44582, August 16, 1999). Major revisions in the proposed rule include removing the general prohibition against obtaining information about applicant characteristics such as national origin or gender, although such information still generally may not be considered in extending credit; adding a disclosure requirement for creditors that voluntarily collect data on applicant characteristics; requiring creditors to retain certain records for preapproved credit solicitations; and extending the record retention period for most business credit applications.

Based on the regulatory flexibility analysis, it is not expected that the proposal will have a significant impact on small entities.  Although there would be a new disclosure requirement for creditors that voluntarily request information about applicant characteristics, a model form is proposed to ease compliance. Also, there is a new requirement to retain certain records for preapproved credit solicitations. For business reasons, many institutions already retain some of the preapproved credit solicitation information being sought. In addition, compliance burdens should be minimized by the fact that creditors may use a variety of methods, such as electronic storage, to retain records.  Following review of the public comments, the Board is expected to take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: B -- Equal Credit Opportunity; and Regulation: Z -- Truth in Lending (Docket Numbers: R-1040 and R-1043)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March 1998 and September 1999, the Board issued for public comment proposed rules to permit the electronic delivery of Regulation B and Regulation Z disclosures, if the consumer agrees (63 FR 14548, March 25, 1998, and 64 FR 46988, September 14, 1999). The Board also issued similar proposed rules under other consumer financial services laws administered by the Board.

On June 30, 2000, the President signed into law the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act), which became effective October 1, 2000. The E-Sign Act generally provides that records and signatures may not be denied legal effect solely because they are in electronic form.

The E-Sign Act incorporated some elements of the Board's regulatory proposals governing electronic disclosures. Some provisions in the Board's proposals, however, are modified or preempted by the Act, while other provisions, which are designed to ensure effective delivery of electronic disclosures, were not addressed by the E-Signature Act but are consistent with that Act and could be issued as final rules.

In March 2001, following review of the public comments, the Board issued interim final rules on the electronic delivery of disclosures. Under the interim final rules, consistent with the requirements of the E-Sign Act, creditors generally must obtain consumers' affirmative consent to provide disclosures electronically (66 FR 17329, March 30, 2001, and 66 FR 17779, April 4, 2001). There are exceptions for disclosures not deemed to relate to "transactions," such as disclosures in advertising. The interim final rules also establish uniform requirements for the timing and delivery of electronic disclosures. Disclosures may be sent by e-mail to an electronic address designated by the consumer, or they may be made available at another location, such as an Internet web site. If disclosures are not sent by e-mail, consumers must receive a notice alerting them to the availability of the disclosures. Disclosures posted on a web site must be available for at least 90 days to allow consumers adequate time to access and retain the information. Creditors must make a good faith attempt to redeliver e-disclosures that are returned undelivered.

The March 2001 rulemakings were published as interim final rules to allow interested persons to present new information or views not considered in previous rulemakings. The rules are not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small business entities.  Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: C -- Home Mortgage Disclosure (Docket Number: R-1001)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1998, Regulation C, which implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) was targeted for review to update the regulation. HMDA requires most mortgage lenders located in metropolitan areas to report annually to Federal agencies and disclose to the public information about their home purchase and home improvement lending activities. In March 1998, the Board issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking for Regulation C (63 FR 12329, March 12, 1998). The notice identified several specific issues in addition to requesting comment generally on potential revisions to the regulation.

In December 2000, based on the comments and the Board's own analysis, the Board issued for public comment a proposed rule amending Regulation C (65 FR 78656, December 15, 2000). These amendments would (1) simplify the definition of a "refinancing;" (2) require lenders to report requests for preapprovals; (3) simplify the definition of a reportable home improvement loan; (4) require lenders to report home equity lines of credit; (5) require lenders to report the annual percentage rate on loans, and whether a loan is subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act, and whether a loan is for manufactured housing; and (6) make other changes to Regulation C.

It is not anticipated that the proposed rule would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities subject to the Board's regulation. Following review of the public comments, the Board is expected to take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: E -- Electronic Fund Transfers (Docket Numbers: R-0919 and R-1041)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March 1998 and September 1999, the Board issued for public comment proposed rules and an interim rule under Regulation E to permit the electronic delivery of disclosures, if the consumer agrees (Docket Number: R-1002; 63 FR 14528, March 25, 1998 (interim rule), and Docket Number: R-1041; 64 FR 49699, September 14, 1999). The Board also issued similar proposed rules under other consumer financial services laws administered by the Board.

On June 30, 2000, the President signed into law the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act), which became effective October 1, 2000. The E-Sign Act generally provides that records and signatures may not be denied legal effect solely because they are in electronic form.

The E-Sign Act incorporates some elements of the Board's regulatory proposal governing electronic disclosure. Some provisions in the Board's proposal, however, are modified or preempted by the Act, while other provisions, which are designed to ensure effective delivery of electronic disclosures, were not addressed by the E-Sign Act but are consistent with the Act and could be issued as final rules.

In March 2001, the Board issued an interim final rule on the electronic delivery of disclosures. Under the interim final rule, consistent with the requirements of the E-Sign Act, financial institutions generally must obtain consumers' affirmative consent to provide disclosures electronically (66 FR 17786, April 4, 2001). There are exceptions for disclosures not deemed to relate to "transactions," such as disclosure in advertising. The interim final rule also establishes uniform requirements for the timing and delivery of electronic disclosures. Disclosures may be sent by e-mail to an electronic address designated by the consumer, or they may be made available at another location, such as an Internet web site. If disclosures are not sent by e-mail, consumers must receive a notice alerting them to the availability of the disclosures. Disclosures posted on a web site must be available for at least 90 days to allow consumers adequate time to access and retain the information. Institutions must make a good faith attempt to redeliver e-disclosures that are returned undelivered. Under the March 2001 interim final rule, the March 1998 interim rule is withdrawn.

The March 2001 rulemaking was published as an interim final rule to allow interested persons to present new information or views not considered in previous rulemakings. The rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small business entities. Following review of the public comments, the Board is expected to take further action.

A May 1996 Regulation E proposal to permit financial institutions to provide disclosures electronically also included proposed amendments imposing modified requirements on stored-value products in systems that track individual transactions, cards, or consumers and providing an exemption for cards on which a maximum value of $100 can be stored (Docket Number: R-0919; 61 FR 19696, May 2, 1996); the latter proposal remains pending.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: H -- Membership of State Banking Institutions in the Federal Reserve System (Docket Number: R-1064)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March 2000, the Board approved an interim rule with request for public comment amending Regulation H to implement section 121 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act for state member banks (65 FR 14810, March 20, 2000). Section 121 in part authorizes state member banks to control, or hold an interest in, financial subsidiaries so as to conduct certain activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity. In August 2001, following review of the public comments, the Board adopted the final rule substantially as proposed (66 FR 42929, August 16, 2001). 

The Board will also consider issuing for public comment a proposed rule in place of an existing Miscellaneous Interpretation (12 CFR 250.141) relating to member bank purchases of stock in operations subsidiaries to update its provisions and conform to section 121. A proposal to amend section 208.7 of Regulation H (deposit production offices) to conform its definitional provisions to section 106 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in conjunction with parallel activities by the other banking agencies has been issued for public comment and appears elsewhere in the agenda (Docket Number: R-1099; RIN 7100-AC84). 

It is not anticipated that the proposals will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities subject to the Board's regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: H -- Membership of State Banking Institutions in the Federal Reserve System (Docket Number: R-1099)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In April 2001, the Board, along with the other banking agencies, issued for public comment a proposed rule that would amend uniform regulations implementing section 109 of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (Interstate Act) to effectuate the amendment of section 109 contained in section 106 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (66 FR 18411, April 9, 2001). Section 109 prohibits a bank from establishing or acquiring a branch or branches outside of its home state for the purpose of deposit production. Additionally, section 109 contains guidelines for determining whether a bank is reasonably helping to meet the credit needs of communities served by an out-of-state branch or branches. Section 106 expanded the coverage of section 109 of the Interstate Act to include any branch of a bank controlled by an out-of-state bank holding company. The proposed rule amends the regulatory deposit production prohibition to include any bank or branch controlled by an out-of-state bank holding company, including a bank consisting only of a main office.

It is not anticipated that the rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities subject to the regulation. Following review of the public comments, the Board is expected to take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In November 1997, the Board, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision ("the agencies") issued for public comment proposals to use credit ratings from nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to determine the capital treatment for recourse obligations, direct credit substitutes, and senior asset-backed securities (62 FR 59944, November 5, 1997). In February 2000, based on the public comments, the Board and the other agencies issued for further comment a proposal to clarify and revise the regulatory capital treatment of securitized transactions (65 FR 12320, March 8, 2000). The proposal would treat recourse obligations and direct credit substitutes more consistently than the agencies' current risk-based capital standards. 

Small entities would be affected by the proposals only to the extent that they engage in extending recourse arrangements and direct credit substitutes or purchasing asset-backed securities. It is not expected that the proposals will have a significant economic impact on small institutions. Following review of the public comments, the Board is expected to take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In August 1996, the Board issued for public comment a proposal to revise the risk-based capital treatment for certain collateralized transactions (61 FR 42565, August 16, 1996). Under the Board's existing risk-based capital treatment, the portion of a transaction that is supported by qualifying collateral (that is, cash or OECD government securities) is risk-weighted at 20 percent. Transactions that are fully supported by collateral with a positive margin may be eligible for a zero percent risk weight. Generally, the proposal would permit a portion of a transaction that is fully supported with a positive margin of collateral to be eligible for a zero percent risk weight. The portion that is to be continuously collateralized must be identified by the parties. 

This proposal was developed on an interagency basis and, if adopted, would eliminate one of the substantive differences among the agencies with regard to the risk-based capital treatment for collateralized transactions. It would implement part of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994, which requires the agencies to make uniform regulations and guidelines implementing common supervisory policies. The effect of the proposal would be to allow institutions to hold less capital for certain collateralized transactions. It is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 

Following review of the public comments and development of an inter-agency final rule, the Board is expected to take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2000, the Board issued for public comment proposed amendments to Regulations H and Y that would effectively reduce the capital requirement for certain securities borrowing transactions (65 FR 75856, December 5, 2000). The proposed amendments would recognize the historically low risk of these transactions and bring the capital requirements for U.S. banking organizations into better alignment with the capital requirements of other U.S. and non-U.S. regulators of financial institutions. The proposed amendments would have little or no effect on small banking organizations subject to the Board's regulation, as securities borrowing activities are concentrated in a relatively small number of very large banking organizations. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2000, the Board issued for public comment proposed amendments to the Board's regulatory capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies that would apply a 20 percent risk weight to claims on, and claims guaranteed by, qualifying securities firms (65 FR 76180, December 6, 2000). The proposed rule is consistent with an amendment to the Basel Accord adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in April 1998. It would reduce the risk weight from 100 percent to 20 percent applied to claims on, and claims guaranteed by, certain securities firms incorporated in countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, subject to certain prudential requirements. It is not anticipated that the proposal will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small institutions. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: H -- Membership of State Banking Institutions in the Federal Reserve System; and Regulation: Y -- Bank Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control (Docket Number: R-1097)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March 2000, the Board issued for public comment proposed amendments to its capital guidelines for bank holding companies (Docket Number: R-1067) to address the appropriate regulatory capital treatment for merchant banking investments and investments in nonfinancial companies made under section 4(c)(6) or 4(c)(7) of the Bank Holding Company Act, section 211.5(b)(1)(iii) of the Board's Regulation K, section 302(b) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, or section 24 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Following review of the comments on the proposal, and after consulting with the Treasury Department and the other federal banking agencies, the Board, jointly with the OCC and FDIC, in February 2001, requested public comment on a revised capital proposal (66 FR 10212, February 14, 2001). The revised proposal would apply a series of marginal capital charges on covered equity investments that increase with the level of a banking organization's overall exposure to equity investments relative to the organization's Tier 1 capital. The proposal would apply to merchant banking investments held by financial holding companies as well as investments in nonfinancial companies by banks and bank holding companies under other authorities.

The Board requested public comment on the potential impact of the capital proposal on small entities and will carefully consider the economic impact of any further actions on small entities subject to the Board's regulation. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: K -- International Banking Operations (Docket Number: R-0994)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 1997, consistent with section 303 of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994, the International Banking Act of 1978, and section 2222 of the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996, the Board reviewed and proposed for public comment a number of changes to Regulation K, which governs international banking operations (62 FR 68424, December 31, 1997). Subpart A of Regulation K governs the foreign investments and activities of all member banks. The proposed amendments include streamlined foreign branching procedures for U.S. banking organizations, authorization of expanded activities in foreign branches of U.S. banks, and expansion of the authority of U.S. banking organizations to engage in equity dealing and underwriting and to make venture capital investments outside the United States. Subpart B of Regulation K governs the U.S. activities of foreign banking organizations. The proposed amendments include revisions aimed at streamlining the applications procedures applicable to foreign banks seeking to expand operations in the United States, changes to provisions regarding the qualification of certain foreign banking organizations for exemption from the nonbanking prohibitions of section 4 of the Bank Holding Company Act, and implementation of provisions of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 that affect foreign banks. In addition, a number of technical and clarifying amendments to subparts A and B, as well as to subpart C which governs export trading companies, and certain amendments to the Board's Rules Regarding Delegation of Authority have been proposed. Aspects of the proposed rule are being considered in light of the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. 

The proposed amendments are not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Following review of the public comments, the Board is expected to take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: M -- Consumer Leasing (Docket Number: R-1042)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March 1998 and September 1999, the Board issued for public comment proposed rules under Regulation M, which implements the Consumer Leasing Act, to permit the electronic delivery of disclosures, if the consumer agrees (63 FR 14538, March 25, 1998 and 64 FR 49713, September 14, 1999). The Board also issued similar proposed rules under other consumer financial services regulations administered by the Board. 

On June 30, 2000, the President signed into law The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act), which became effective October 1, 2000. The E-Sign Act generally provides that records and signatures may not be denied legal effect solely because they are in electronic form.

The E-Sign Act incorporated some elements of the Board's regulatory proposal governing electronic disclosures. Some provisions in the Board's proposal, however, are modified or preempted by the Act, while other provisions, which are designed to ensure effective delivery of electronic disclosures, were not addressed by the E-Sign Act but are consistent with that Act and could be issued as final rules.

In March 2001, following review of the public comments, the Board issued an interim final rule on the electronic delivery of disclosures. Under the interim final rule, consistent with the requirements of the E-Sign Act, lessors generally must obtain consumers' affirmative consent to provide disclosures electronically (66 FR 17322, March 30, 2001). There are exceptions for disclosures not deemed to relate to "transactions," such as disclosures in advertising. The interim final rule also establishes uniform requirements for the timing and delivery of electronic disclosures. Disclosures may be sent by e-mail to an electronic address designated by the consumer, or they may be made available at another location, such as an Internet web site. If disclosures are not sent by e-mail, consumers must receive a notice alerting them to the availability of the disclosures. Disclosures posted on the web site must be available for at least 90 days to allow consumers adequate time to access and retain the information. Lessors must make a good faith attempt to redeliver e-disclosures that are returned undelivered.

The March 2001 rulemaking was published as an interim final rule to allow interested persons to present new information or views not considered in previous rulemakings. The rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small business entities. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: V -- Fair Credit Reporting (Docket Number: R-1082)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1996, the Congress amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) as part of the Consumer Credit Reporting Reform Act. The amendments prohibited the federal regulatory agencies from issuing implementing regulations. In November 1999, the Congress once again amended the FCRA as part of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The amendments lifted the prohibition and directed the Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision to issue implementing regulations jointly. 

In October 2000, the agencies issued an initial set of proposed regulations for public comment (65 FR 63120, October 20, 2000). The proposal is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Following review of the public comments, the agencies will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In May 2001, in response to passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act,  the Board issued for public comment a new regulation (Regulation W) to implement sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (66 FR 24186, May 11, 2001). Sections 23A and 23B regulate transactions between insured depository institutions and their affiliates. The proposed regulation codifies existing interpretations and asks for comment on new interpretations and exemptions.  The proposal also requests comment on the treatment of derivatives and intra-day credit exposures between insured depository institutions and their affiliates. While it is not expected that the proposal will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small institutions subject to the Board's regulation, the Board has specifically requested comment on the likely burden the rule will impose.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In January 2001, the Board issued for public comment a proposed rule amending Regulation Y that would define real estate brokerage and real estate management activities as financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity and therefore permissible for financial holding companies under the Board's Regulation Y (66 FR 307, January 3, 2001). The proposal would facilitate the creation of diversified financial companies that can offer "one-stop shopping" to consumers contemplating the purchase or management of real estate. The proposal is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small business entities. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2000, the Board, jointly with the Department of the Treasury, issued interim rules with request for public comment that implement section 4(k)(5) of the Bank Holding Company Act and section 5136A(b)(3) of the Revised Statutes, which were added by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (66 FR 257, January 3, 2001). The interim rules find three general types of activities to be financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity, and create a mechanism by which financial holding companies, financial subsidiaries of national banks, or others may request that the Board or the Secretary of the Treasury, respectively, define particular activities within one of the three categories. Such activities would therefore be permissible for financial holding companies and financial subsidiaries of national banks. The rules are not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2000, the Board issued for public comment a proposed rule that would allow all bank holding companies to conduct a greater amount of nonfinancial data processing than previously authorized (65 FR 80384, December 21, 2000). The proposed rule also would allow financial holding companies, as a complementary activity, to own companies engaged in certain data processing-related activities, such as data storage and Internet and portal hosting. The Board anticipates that the proposal would allow bank holding companies to provide a wider range of financial products and services to customers and would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: Z -- Truth in Lending (Docket Number: R-1090)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2000, the Board issued for public comment proposed amendments to the provisions of Regulation Z that implement the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA) (65 FR 81438, December 26, 2000). HOEPA was enacted in response to evidence of abusive lending practices in the home-equity lending market. The amendments would (1) broaden the scope of mortgage loans subject to HOEPA; (2) prohibit certain acts and practices in connection with home-secured loans, including rules to restrict creditors from engaging in repeated refinancings of their own HOEPA loans over a short period of time; (3) strengthen HOEPA's prohibition against extending credit without regard to consumers' repayment ability; and (4) enhance disclosures for HOEPA-covered loans that consumers receive before closing. The proposed rule is expected to benefit the public by furthering HOEPA's protections against abusive lending practices. It is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small business entities. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: DD -- Truth in Savings (Docket Number: R-1044)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March 1998 and September 1999, the Board issued for public comment proposed rules and an interim rule under Regulation DD, which implements the Truth in Savings Act (TISA), to permit the electronic delivery of disclosures, if the consumer agrees (63 FR 14533, March 25, 1998, and 64 FR 49740, September 14, 1999). The interim rule permits the electronic delivery of TISA disclosures provided on periodic statements. The Board also issued similar proposed rules under other consumer financial services laws administered by the Board.

On June 30, 2000, the President signed into law the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act), which became effective October 1, 2000. The E-Sign Act generally provides that records and signatures may not be denied legal effect solely because they are in electronic form.

The E-Sign Act incorporated some elements of the Board's regulatory proposal governing electronic disclosures. Some provisions in the Board's proposal, however, are modified or preempted by the Act, while other provisions, which are designed to ensure effective delivery of electronic disclosures, were not addressed by the E-Sign Act but are consistent with that Act and could be issued as final rules.

In March 2001, following review of the public comments, the Board issued an interim final rule on the electronic delivery of disclosures. Under the interim final rule, consistent with the requirements of the E-Sign Act, depository institutions generally must obtain consumers' affirmative consent to provide disclosures electronically (66 FR 17795, April 4, 2001). There are exceptions for disclosures not deemed to relate to "transactions," such as disclosures in advertising. The interim final rule also establishes uniform requirements for the timing and delivery of electronic disclosures. Disclosures may be sent by e-mail to an electronic address designated by the consumer, or they may be made available at another location, such as an Internet web site. If disclosures are not sent by e-mail, consumers must receive a notice alerting them to the availability of the disclosures. Disclosures posted on a web site must be available for at least 90 days to allow consumers adequate time to access and retain the information. Institutions must make a good faith attempt to redeliver e-disclosures that are returned undelivered. Under the interim final rule, the interim rule permitting electronic delivery of Regulation DD disclosures on periodic statements is withdrawn.

The March 2001 rulemaking was published as an interim final rule to allow interested persons to present new information or views not considered in previous rulemakings. The rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small business entities. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Misc. Interpretations: Application of Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act to Derivative Transactions with Affiliates and Intraday Extensions of Credit to Affiliates (Docket Number: R-1104)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act) required the Board to adopt, by May 12, 2001, final rules under section 23A to address credit exposures arising out of derivative transactions between insured depository institutions and their affiliates and intraday extensions of credit by insured depository institutions to their affiliates as covered transactions. In May 2001, the Board adopted interim final rules pursuant to the amendments to section 23A contained in the GLB Act and requested public comment on the rules (66 FR 24229, May 11, 2001).
 
The interim rule (1) requires that an institution establish and maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the credit exposure arising from the institution?s derivative transactions with affiliates and (2) clarifies that institution-affiliate derivative transactions are subject to the market terms requirement of section 23B. The policies and procedures must at a minimum provide for monitoring and controlling the credit exposure arising from the institution's derivative transactions with each affiliate and all affiliates in the aggregate, and ensure that the institution's derivative transactions with affiliates comply with section 23B. The intraday credit rule also requires insured depository institutions to have policies and procedures in place and clarifies that the transactions are subject to section 23B.
  
While the proposal is not expected to have a significant economic impact on small institutions, the Board has specifically requested comment on the likely burden the rule will impose. Following review of the public comments, the Board will take further action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: D -- Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions (Docket Number: R-0956)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 1996, the Board issued for public comment a proposed rule that would revise and clarify the definition of "savings deposit" consistent with comments received in connection with the Board's June 1996 proposal to simplify Regulation D. The proposal would also make conforming changes to the definition of "transaction account" (61 FR 96054, December 31, 1996). No substantive change in the regulation is intended. It is not expected that the proposal will have a significant adverse impact upon a substantial number of small entities. Further action on this proposal is not expected during the next six months.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: E -- Electronic Fund Transfer (Docket Number: R-1077)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In November 1999, the Congress amended the Electronic Funds Transfer Act as a part of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act). The purpose of the amendments is to require disclosure of automatic transfer machine (ATM) fees imposed by ATM operators on consumers who hold accounts at other financial institutions. 

In July 2000, the Board issued for public comment proposed amendments to Regulation E to implement the statutory provisions of the GLB Act (65 FR 44481, July 18, 2000).

In March 2001, following review of the public comments, the Board adopted a final rule, substantially as proposed, requiring disclosure of ATM fees, (66 FR 13409, March 6, 2001).  The final rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed amendment would establish a "safe harbor" permitting a bank to offer a credit card that can be used to make purchases from a retailer affiliated with the bank. It is expected that the proposed rule would benefit the public by providing consumers with alternative sources of consumer credit, and is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small business entities.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is continuing its review of current rules and guides to identify any that should be modified or rescinded. In January of each year, the Commission announces the rules and guides to be reviewed in that year. For example, on January 19, 2000, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register listing the rules and guides to be reviewed during 2000 and the staff contact person for information about each review. 65 FR 2912. The Commission is currently devoting significant resources to both rulemakings required by statute and completing rule and guide reviews previously announced. See 65 FR 73531. Accordingly, the Commission did not issue a separate notice for 2001. The Commission will continue to consider ways to streamline and improve the review program.  Early next year, the Commission plans to announce the rules and guides it will review in 2002. No determination about whether to modify or rescind a rule, regulation, guide or interpretation or any other procedural option should be inferred from the Commission's decision to publish a request for comments. In certain instances, the reviews may also address other specific matters or issues, such as proposed amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 requires health warnings on all packages and advertising for smokeless tobacco. The Act directs the Commission to issue implementing Rules governing the format and display of the warnings. On November 4, 1986, the Commission issued its Rules setting out the provisions for the size, color, typeface, and rotation of the statutory warnings. In FY 2000, the Commission undertook a periodic review of the Rules. The purpose of the review was to determine whether the Rules continue to effectively meet the goals of the Act and to seek information concerning the Rules or economic impact of the Rules in order to decide whether it should be amended. Staff plans to forward its recommendations to the Commission shortly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Regulation Rule on Ophthalmic Practice Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Trade Regulation Rule on Ophthalmic Practice Rules, also known as the Prescription Release Rule, provides that an optometrist or ophthalmologist must give the patient, at no extra cost, a copy of the eyeglass prescription immediately after the examination is completed. The Rule also prohibits optometrists and ophthalmologists from conditioning the availability of an eye examination, as defined by the Rule, on a requirement that the patient agrees to purchase ophthalmic goods from the optometrist or ophthalmologist, and from placing on the prescription, or delivering to the patient, certain disclaimers or waivers of liability. The Rule does not require an optometrist or ophthalmologist to release a contact lens prescription to a patient after an eye exam. As part of its systematic review of all Commission rules and guides, the Commission has requested comments on the economic impact of, and the continuing need for, this Rule, possible conflict between the Rule and State, local, or other Federal laws, and the effect on the Rule of any technological, economic, or other industry changes. Staff is preparing a memorandum to the Commission summarizing the comments received and making recommendations as to whether the Commission should retain the Rule or initiate a rulemaking to revise or repeal it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Regulation Rule on Funeral Industry Practices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Funeral Industry Practices Rule (Funeral Rule or Rule), which became effective in 1984, requires sellers of funeral goods and services to give price lists to consumers who visit a funeral home, and to disclose price and other information to callers who request it over the telephone. The Rule enables consumers to select and purchase only the goods and services they want, and requires funeral providers to seek authority before performing some services such as embalming. The Rule also requires funeral providers to make disclosures regarding any required purchases and prohibits misrepresentations regarding requirements and other aspects of funeral goods and services. In its 1994 review of the Rule, the Commission determined to retain the Rule and amended it to prohibit funeral providers from charging a "casket handling fee" in addition to any non-declinable basic-services fee and deleted certain affirmative telephone disclosure requirements. The Commission responded to requests to address emerging issues in the funeral industry by beginning a review of the Rule in 1998. The Commission previously had scheduled a review of the Rule in 1999,under its ten-year schedule for reviewing all Commission rules and guides. The Commission published a notice soliciting public comment in May 1999. In response to requests of industry members and consumer groups, the Commission extended the comment period. Commission staff conducted a public workshop conference on November 18, 1999, to discuss and explore openly issues raised in written comments. Staff is evaluating the comments and preparing a recommendation to the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Telemarketing Sales Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1995, the Commission issued the Telemarketing Sales Rule (Rule), 16 CFR part 310, under the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, 15 USC 6101-6108. The Rule requires telemarketers to disclose information; prohibits misrepresentations; limits the times telemarketers may call consumers; prohibits calls to a consumer who has asked not to be called again; and sets payment restrictions for the sale of certain goods and services.

As required by the Act, the Commission is reviewing the Rule to evaluate the Rule's operation and report to Congress. The Commission has issued a request for public comment on the Rule, its overall costs, benefits and its regulatory and economic impact since its adoption in 1995. The Commission also held a public forum on January 11, 2000, addressing the operation of the Rule's "do-not-call" provision. Another public forum to discuss other provisions of the Rule was held on July 27-28, 2000. Public forums provide the Commission staff and interested parties an opportunity to discuss these issues and any other topics that emerge from the public comments.

Staff plans to complete its review and forward its recommendations to the Commission this fall.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Premerger Notification Rules and Report Form</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Premerger Notification Rules (Rules) and the Antitrust Improvements Act Notification and Report Form (HSR Form) were adopted pursuant to Section 7A of the Clayton Act. Section 7A requires firms of a certain size contemplating mergers or acquisitions of a specified size to file notification with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) and to wait a designated period before consummating the transaction. It also requires the FTC, with the concurrence of the Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust, to promulgate rules requiring that notification be in a form and contain information necessary to enable the FTC and DOJ to determine whether the proposed acquisition may, if consummated, violate the antitrust laws. These Rules are continually reviewed in order to improve the program's effectiveness and reduce the paperwork burden on the business community. The Commission proposed modifications to the HSR Form on June 14, 1994. 59 FR 30545. 

The Commission has issued Interim Rules based on comments received in response to this Notice, as well as on some changes in HSR reporting requirements necessitated by the recent amendments to Section 7(A) of the Clayton Act. The President signed the statutory amendments into law on December 21, 2000. Both the statutory amendments and the interim rules became effective on February 1, 2001. The Commission also published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) updating examples in several rules and revising others. The comment period for the interim rules and the NPRM ended on March 19, 2001. In addition, changes requiring the use of the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) to replace the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes in completing items 5-8 on the HSR Form were made effective July 1, 2001.  Staff expects to propose additional changes by the winter.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Regulation Rule Concerning the Labeling and Advertising of Home Insulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Trade Commission's Trade Regulation Rule Concerning the Labeling and Advertising of Home Insulation (Rule) became effective on September 29, 1980. The Rule is designed to assist consumers in evaluating and comparing the thermal performance characteristics of competing home insulation products. Specifically, the Rule requires manufacturers of home insulation products to provide information about the product's degree of resistance to the flow of heat (R-Value). The Rule also establishes uniform standards for testing, information disclosure, and substantiation of product performance claims. As part of its systematic review of all Commission rules and guides, the Commission requested comments on, among other things, the economic impact of, and the continuing need for this Rule, possible conflicts between the Rule and state, local and other Federal laws, and the effect on the Rule of any technological, economic, or other industry changes. The Commission is considering the comments received in two parts. In part I, the Commission reviewed comments that addressed the current benefits, burdens, and need for the Rule, and determined to retain the Rule. The Commission also adopted nonsubstantive amendments that: (1) allow the optional use of the additional R-Value test procedure; and (2) require use in the future of revised, current versions of other test procedures cited in the Rule. In part II, the Commission is considering the comments recommending that the Commission adopt substantive revisions to the Rule.  In response to the comments received, the Commission issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking comment on whether it should initiate a rulemaking proceeding to amend the Rule. In the ANPRM, the Commission proposed amendments to recognize technological advances in R-Value testing and specimen preparation procedures, and to clarify and streamline the Rule's requirements.  The comment period on the ANPRM ended on November 15, 1999. Based on the ANPRM record, the Commission will determine whether to initiate a rulemaking proceeding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Regulation Rule on Franchising and Business Opportunity Ventures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Trade Commission's Trade Regulation Rule on Franchising and Business Opportunity Ventures (Franchise Rule) became effective on October 21, 1979. The Rule is designed to reduce deceptive and unfair practices in the sale of franchises and business opportunities by requiring the pre-sale disclosure of material information about the franchise. For example, the Rule requires franchisors to disclose their business background and litigation history, as well as the number of failed and terminated franchise units. The Rule also requires the disclosure of material terms of the franchise relationship, such as recurring fees and termination and renewal rights. The Rule further requires the franchisor to provide an audited financial statement for the past three fiscal years. Finally, the Rule requires any franchisor who makes earnings representations to provide the prospective franchisee with an earnings claims document that substantiates those claims. On February 28, 1997, the Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) contemplating amendments that would address any new technologies and market practices and at the same time, reduce any unnecessary regulatory burden. Specifically, the Commission requested comments on whether to revise the Rule to more closely align Federal and State disclosure requirements governing franchise sales, and to address changes in the marketing of franchises, such as the sale of franchises internationally and through the Internet. Six public workshops were held in five cities during 1997 to promote discussions about the issues; allow the public to make statements on the record; and assist Commission staff in drafting a proposed amended Rule. The Commission extended the comment period to December 31, 1997. On October 22, 1999, the Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with a text of the revised Rule. Comments were accepted until December 21, 1999, and rebuttal comments were accepted until January 31, 2000. Commission staff is now analyzing the comments and will prepare a staff report.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Regulation Rule Pursuant to the Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act of 1992</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Congress enacted the Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act of 1992 (TDDRA) to curtail certain unfair and deceptive practices perpetrated by some pay-per-call businesses, and to encourage the growth of the legitimate pay-per-call industry. TDDRA mandated that the FTC promulgate a rule to curb these practices; the Pay-Per-Call or 900-Number Rule (Rule) became effective on November 1, 1993. TDDRA granted the Commission limited jurisdiction over common carriers for purposes of the Rule. The Rule requires that advertisements for 900-numbers contain certain disclosures; requires that anyone who calls a 900-number service be given the opportunity to hang up at the conclusion of the preamble without incurring any charge for the call; and establishes procedures for resolving billing disputes for 900-number calls and other telephone-billed purchases. The Rule itself required the Commission to initiate a review of the Rule prior to November 1997. As part of this review, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register on March 12, 1997, requesting comments on, among other things, the economic impact of and the continuing need for the Rule, and the effect on the Rule of any technological or industry changes. The Commission also sought comments, pursuant to authority granted under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, on whether to expand the Rule to govern other similar audio information and entertainment services. Staff held a workshop on June 19-20, 1997, during which members of the industry discussed issues raised in the comments, including billing and collection issues and possible ways to expand the definition of "pay-per-call services." Many commenters reported that the Rule has been successful in reducing the abuses that led to the passage of TDDRA. Despite the success of the Rule in correcting the abuses in the 900-number industry, complaints about other types of audiotext services (accessed via dialing patterns other than 900 numbers) are being reported. The majority of complaints now involve 800 numbers, international numbers, or other dialing patterns that do not use the 900-number prefix. Many consumer and law enforcement agencies also have been receiving complaints from consumers who have discovered unexplained charges (in some cases, recurring charges) on their telephone bills for services that were never authorized, ordered, received, or used, a practice known as "cramming." On October 30, 1998, the Commission published an NPRM that would expand the definition of "pay-per-call" services beyond 900 numbers and that would implement measures to combat telephone bill cramming. The proposed revisions would: (1) require the express authorization of the person to be billed for the purchase of any "telephone-billed purchases" that cannot be blocked by 900-number blocking; (2) prohibit vendors from billing consumers for monthly or other recurring charges for pay-per-call services unless the vendor had entered into a "presubscription agreement" with the person to be billed and had sent the consumer a written copy of the agreement; and (3) give consumers legal recourse to dispute unauthorized charges crammed on phone bills and have those charges removed. The comment period was extended to March 10, 1999, and the workshop-conference was held on May 20-21, 1999. At the workshop, participants discussed issues raised by the comments, such as the meaning of "express authorization" and the requirements for a presubscription agreement. Staff plans to forward a recommendation to the Commission early next year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Regulation Rule Concerning Power Output Claims for Amplifiers Utilized in Home Entertainment Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Trade Regulation Rule Concerning Power Output Claims for Amplifiers Utilized in Home Entertainment Products (Amplifier Rule or Rule) was promulgated in 1974 to assist consumers in purchasing power amplification equipment for home entertainment purposes by standardizing the measurement and disclosure of various performance characteristics of the equipment. The Amplifier Rule establishes uniform test standards and disclosures so that consumers can make more meaningful comparisons of performance attributes. The Rule makes it an unfair or deceptive act or practice for manufacturers and sellers of sound power amplification equipment for home entertainment purposes to fail to disclose certain performance information in connection with direct or indirect representations of power output, power band, frequency or distortion characteristics. The Rule also sets out standard test conditions for performing the measurements that support the required performance disclosures. Further, the Rule prohibits representations of performance characteristics if they are not obtainable when the equipment is operated by the consumer in the usual and ordinary manner without the use of extraneous aids. 

To determine whether changes in technology that occurred since the Rule was issued necessitated any Rule revisions, the Commission requested comments on the Rule. Among other things, the Commission asked about the economic impact of, and the continuing need for, this Rule; and any possible conflict between the Rule and State, local and other Federal laws. Based upon the regulatory review, the Commission determined that the Rule applies to self-powered speakers for use with home computers and home sound systems but that the Rule should not be extended to automobile sound systems. The Commission also determined to issue an ANPRM seeking comment on whether it should amend the Rule. Based on the ANPRM record, the Commission issued an NPRM to seek public comment on whether the Commission should amend the Rule to reduce the preconditioning power output requirement from one-third of rated power to a lower figure; exempt sellers who make power output claims in media advertising from the requirement to disclose total rated harmonic distortion and the associated power bandwidth and impedance ratings; and clarify the manner in which the Rule's testing procedures apply to self-powered subwoofer-satellite combination speaker systems. Based on the NPRM record, the Commission amended the Rule as proposed in the NPRM. At the same time, the Commission issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to seek public comment on proposed testing procedures for "home theater" receivers with five or more channels. The comment period for the SNPRM ended on March 30, 2001. Staff plans to forward its recommendation to the Commission this fall and anticipates Commission action before the end of the calendar year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Privacy of Consumer Information--Security</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (G-L-B) was enacted. The Act repealed the key provision of the Glass-Steagall Act, that among other things, required the separation of banking, insurance, and securities institutions.  Subtitle A (Disclosure of Nonpublic Person Information) of Title V (Privacy) limits the ability of the newly-authorized financial institutions to disclose nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties, and requires them to disclose to consumers their privacy policies and practices respecting information shared with both affiliates and nonaffiliated third parties. The Commission issued the statutorily mandated Rule on the Privacy of Consumer Financial Information (Privacy Rule), 16 CFR part 313, on May 12, 2000. The Privacy Rule took effect on November 13, 2000, and full compliance was required on or before July 1, 2001.

In addition to the Privacy Rule, Section 501 of Subtitle A requires the agencies to establish appropriate standards for financial institutions to safeguard nonpublic personal information.  In particular, section 501(b) of the Act requires the Commission to "establish appropriate standards for the financial institutions [subject to its jurisdiction] relating to administrative, technical, and physical safeguards." Section 501(b) sets out the objectives of these standards: (1) to insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information; (2) to protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records; and (3) to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records of information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.  On September 7, 2000, the Commission issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) and a request for comments reopening its Safeguards Rule (to be codified at part 314).  On August 7, 2001, the Commission published an NPRM.  This comment period ended on October 9, 2001. Staff plans to forward its recommendation to the Commission early next year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Children&apos;s Online Privacy Protection Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the effort to protect children's online privacy, Congress enacted the Children's Online Privacy Act of 1998, 15 USC 6501 et seq. (COPPA), to prohibit unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with the collection, use, or disclosure of personally identifiable information from children on the Internet.  On October 20, 1999, the Commission issued its final Rule implementing COPPA, which became effective on April 21, 2000. See 16 CFR Part 312.  The Rule imposes certain requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under thirteen years of age, or other websites or online services that have actual knowledge that they have collected information from a child under thirteen years of age.  Among other things, the Rule requires that website operators obtain verifiable parental consent prior to collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under thirteen years of age.

The Rule provides that, "[a]ny method to obtain verifiable parental consent must be reasonably calculated, in light of available technology, to ensure that the person providing consent is the child's parent." 16 CFR 312.5(b)(1).  In order to allow time for reliable electronic methods of verification to become widely available and affordable, the Rule sets forth a sliding scale approach for obtaining verifiable parental consent, which depends upon the reason the personal information is collected.  The sliding scale was set to expire on April 21, 2002, at which time website operators must obtain verifiable parental consent using the more reliable methods set out by the Rule for all uses of personal information. 16 CFR 312.5(b)(2).

At the time it issued the final Rule, the Commission anticipated that the sliding scale was necessary only in the short term because the more reliable methods of obtaining verifiable parental consent would soon be widely available and affordable.  At the present time, however, it appears that the expected progress in available technology has not occurred.  The Commission therefore proposes to amend the Rule to extend the sliding scale mechanism for an additional two years to April 21, 2004. The Commission requests comment on the proposed extension and several questions concerning the current and anticipated availability and affordability of secure electronic mechanisms or infomediary services for obtaining parental consent.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) assigns to the FTC responsibilities for certain non-federally insured depository institutions (DIs) and private deposit insurers of such DIs. The FTC is required to prescribe, by regulation or order, the manner and content of certain disclosures required of DIs that lack Federal deposit insurance. The Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1993, containing the Commission's appropriation for fiscal year 1993, provided that none of the funds were available for expenses authorized by section 151 of the FDICIA. Legislation containing the Commission's appropriation for fiscal years 1994 to 2001 contains the same provision. Thus, the Commission implementation of FDICIA is on hold.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking updates GSAR clause 552.270-4, Historic Preference, that is used in the acquisition of leasehold interests. E.O. 13006 requires that Federal agencies give first consideration to historic properties within historic districts. If no such property is suitable, then Federal agencies shall consider other developed or undeveloped sites within historic districts. Federal agencies shall then consider historic properties outside of historic districts, if no suitable site within a district exists. As a result of the requirements of the E.O., 552.270-4 will be revised to establish the order of precedence.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking revises FPMR 101-9 and moves it into the Federal Management Regulation at 102-192. The regulation, rewritten in plain language, requires agencies to submit data annually to GSA on their volumes of mail and to prepare and submit annual cost control plans to GSA. These data and reports will be used to help agencies develop performance measures. Also, in accordance with E.O. 12977, this rule extends the requirement to maintain agency-level mail security plans to the facility level.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Travel Regulation (FTR); Maximum Per Diem Rates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 5702 of title 5, United States Code, provides for the Administrator of General Services to prescribe a maximum per diem allowance for travel within the continental United States. Analysis of data from the most recent subsistence cost surveys reveals that the current listing of specific per diem rates contained in a final rule appearing in part II of the Federal Register of Friday, August 31, 2001 (66 FR 46070), should be updated to add new entries and revise previous entries.

This amendment is not subject to the rulemaking requirements contained in section 553 of the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 551 to 559), since it involves matters related solely to agency management or personnel. GSA, therefore, did not request public comments on this rule. GSA will, however, send a copy of the amendment to Federal employee unions for review and will reconcile any comments received before issuing the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is revising the Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) by moving coverage of GSA's Rent Program into the Federal Management Regulation (FMR). A cross-reference is added to the FPMR to direct readers to the coverage in the FMR.  The FMR is written in plain language to provide agencies with updated regulatory material that is easy to read and understand. This interim rule establishes the pricing policy guidance for Occupancy Agreements between GSA and the customer agencies.  It also governs intra-governmental pricing of space and services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibited Purchases of Property Sold by GSA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the current regulation at 5 CFR 6701.103, GSA employees (and their spouses and minor children) are prohibited from purchasing for themselves or others any personal or real property being sold by GSA. This regulation supplemented the prohibition on the use of public office for private gain at 5 CFR 2635.702 and the prohibition on the use of nonpublic information at 5 CFR 2635.703. GSA believes that the current prohibition at section 6701.103 for all GSA employees, their spouses, and minor children is unnecessarily broad and that the prohibition should be extended only to those employees where the possibility of using public office or nonpublic information for private gain exists or where the possibility of the appearance of a conflict of interest occurs.  For that reason, GSA is retaining but liberalizing this provision, so as to allow the purchase by GSA employees of property sold by GSA, except for those GSA employees who personally and substantially participate in, or have official responsibility for, the sale of real and personal property.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is revising Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) coverage on Federal advisory committee management and moving it into the Federal Management Regulation (FMR). A cross-reference is added to the FPMR to direct readers to the coverage in the FMR. The FMR coverage is written in plain language to provide agencies with updated regulatory material that is easy to read and understand. This action is necessary due to legislative and policy changes that have occurred and judicial decisions that have been issued since the regulation was last updated. It is based also on suggestions for improvement from other Federal agencies and interested parties and clarifies how the regulation applies or does not apply to certain situations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is extending the retirement date of Optional Forms 1103, U.S. Government Bill of Lading (GBL), and 1203, U.S. Government Bill of Lading-Privately Owned Personal Property (PPGBL), until March 31, 2002. A GSA review indicated that instead of transitioning to standard business practices, agencies were creating a new form to replace the GBL. Extending the retirement date for 6 months will give agencies more time to enhance electronic transportation systems currently in place and transition to the use of commercial practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Institute of Museum and Library Services proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI). This statute prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Institute's title VI regulations. The Institute's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NASA is participating in a proposed common rule that proposes substantive changes and amendments to the Governmentwide nonprocurement common rule for debarment and suspension and the Governmentwide rule implementing the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988.  The purpose of these proposed changes are as follows:

1.  Resolve unnecessary technical differences between the procurement and nonprocurement debarment rules;

2.  Make improvements to the existing common rule consistent with the purpose of the suspension and debarment system;

3.  Revise the current approach to the style and format to use plain language; and

4.  Move the drug-free workplace requirements currently in subpart F of the Debarment and Suspension Nonprocurement Common Rule to a new section.]]></ABSTRACT>

Award amounts have not been changed since 1985, and this updates to current day dollars.  This includes significant increases in initial awards for technical briefs from $150 to $350, multiple author software and patents from $250 to $500, and single author software and patents from $500 to $1,000.  Any award of an amount less than $2,000 no longer requires the Administrator's signature.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Handicap, and Age in Programs and Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NASA proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act).  Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.  The amendments are being made as the results of added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" introduced by the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) of 1987.  The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under the aforementioned statutes.  NASA proposed regulations will be published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Small Self-Contained Payload</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revised rule replaces 14 CFR part 1214.9 "Use of Small Self-Contained Payloads" and incorporates language from 14 CFR part 1214.10 "Special Policy on Use of Small Self-Contained Payloads (SSCP's) by Domestic Educational Institutions" and therefore deleting 14 CFR part 1214.10.

This revision ensures that NASA will continue to offer domestic educational institutions lower prices, relative to other users, for standard launch services and provides the domestic educational institutions a high priority ranking opportunity in the flight scheduling process of manifesting GAS payloads. 

The domestic educational institutions are still required to meet certain criteria and agree to certain provisions established by NASA.  However, NASA is changing the pricing structure for a defined group of Class I, domestic educational institutions based on the payload user classification, payload weight, and volume and depending on services required.  

Also, with this revision, NASA established four classes of SSCP payloads, changed the definitions for Class II and Class III payloads, and created a separate classification, Class IV, for international payload customers. NASA has redefined the flight rotation process to incorporate the new classification. In redefining the flight rotation process, NASA provides the domestic educational institutions a higher priority ranking opportunity in the flight scheduling process of manifesting GAS payloads.

The option for transfer of ownership has been deleted from the policy.  The requirements, such as payment schedules and detailed terms of postponement and cancellation, have been deleted from the CFR and will be addressed in the Launch Services Agreement, the binding contract between NASA and the customer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Handicap, and Age in Programs and Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Endowment for the Arts proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Arts Endowment's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Arts Endowment's proposed regulation will be published as part of the Department of Justice's joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, and disability in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the NEH's title VI and section 504 regulations. The NEH's proposed regulations will be published as part of a joint Department of Justice Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

Programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance from the National Endowment for the Humanities are currently covered by a regulation implementing title VI that was issued by the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities in 1973 (45 CFR 1110). The proposed rule will remove NEH programs from the coverage of the earlier rule and replace it with a new part applicable only to NEH-assisted programs and activities. Programs and activities assisted by the National Endowment for the Arts remain covered under the existing regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) establishes a comprehensive system for regulating gambling activities on Indian lands. Following a thorough rulemaking process, the Commission published Minimum Internal Control Standards (MICS), 25 C.F.R. part 542, in 1999. In the period since publication, there have been changes in Indian gaming and gaming technology that need to be reflected in the MICS. Additionally, there are technical errors in the existing regulation that require correction. The Commission has determined that these changes and corrections are needed to ensure that Indian gaming continues to be adequately regulated, while maintaining the ability to adopt to, and take advantage of, technological changes in the gaming industry.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The purpose of IGRA is clearly stated in its declaration of policy: "to provide a statutory basis for the regulation of gaming by an Indian tribe adequate to shield it from organized crime and other corrupting influences, to ensure that the Indian tribe is the primary beneficiary of the gaming operation, and to assure that gaming is conducted fairly and honestly by both the operator and players...." 25 U.S.C. 2702(2). In order to accomplish these and the other stated purposes of IGRA, the Commission was expressly authorized to "promulgate such regulations and guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the provisions of the [Act]." 25 U.S.C. 2706(b)(10). The Commission relies on these sections of the statute to authorize the promulgation of Minimum Internal Control Standards in order to ensure the integrity of gaming on Indian lands and to safeguard this source of tribal revenues.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Over the course of the past couple of years, the NIGC has received numerous requests for advisory opinions on the classification of a particular game or device. The Commission has through an informal process issued several advisory opinions. However, given the growing number of requests and the need for some degree of predictability and certainty in the industry regarding the classification of games or devices, the Commission believes it is necessary to develop a formal process. Consequently, the Commission will use the rulemaking process to promulgate regulations in this area.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act specifically defines both Class II and Class III gaming (25 U.S.C. 2703). The Act also expressly authorizes the Commission to "promulgate such regulations and guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the provisions of this Act." (25 U.S.C. 2706(b)(10)). The Commission relies on these sections of the statute to authorize the development by regulation of a process of formal classification of particular games and devices.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[At this time, the only identified alternative is to continue with the informal process of issuing advisory opinions regarding particular games.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The potential benefits to this regulatory action are to bring more clarity and predictability to the industry regarding classification. Those engaged in Indian gaming need to have some degree of certainty regarding the legal consequences of playing a particular game. For those tribes without tribal-State compacts, the need is even greater to know with as much certainty as possible the classification of a particular game or device. The anticipated costs of implementing a classification system are unknown at this time.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Handicap, and Age in Programs and Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Science Foundation proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definitions of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Foundation's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed amendment would conform the Commission's regulations pertaining to the availability of official records to existing case law and agency practice. The amendment would address the circumstances under which proprietary, personal privacy or other confidential information submitted to the NRC by applicants, licensees, or others may be returned upon request.  The rule would reaffirm that 10 CFR 2.790(c) provides submitters of information a qualified right to have their information returned upon request. This amendment would inform the public of four additional circumstances where information would not be returned to the applicant, that is, (1) when submitted to an advisory committee governed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act; (2) when captured by a Freedom of Information Act request; (3) when publicly relied upon or revealed by the Commission in an open Commission meeting under the government in the Sunshine Act; and (4) when obtained during the course of an investigation conducted by the NRC Office of Investigations.   The proposed amendment would also clarify requirements on submittals to the NRC for identification of confidential information sought to be withheld from public disclosure.  Further, the proposed amendment would address the NRC?s procedures for handling copyrighted information, including reproduction and distribution according to normal agency practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will amend the Commission's regulations by revising the regulatory infrastructure to prepare for future applications.  The final rule will involve changes to licensing procedures and will require combined license applicants and holders to create, maintain, update, and use a PRA for the life of the facility.  The final rule subsumes the rulemaking, "Standardized Plant Designs, Early Review of Sites Suitability Issues; Clarifying Amendments" (RIN AE25), that would remove redundant appendices M, N, O, and Q from part 50. These appendices are being removed because they became obsolete when part 52 was created. The part 52 rulemaking plan (SECY-98-282) was approved by the Commission on January 14, 1999.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NRC has issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to invite early input from affected parties and the public on the issues associated with the advance notification of Indian tribes of spent fuel shipments. The Department of Energy (DOE) has indicated that it intends to comply with NRC's physical protection requirements for shipments under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act; however, its current practices conflict with NRC regulations. For example, DOE already has asked for and will continue to ask for exemptions from the shipment itinerary information requirements of foreign research reactor fuel. DOE, as a courtesy, provides Indian tribes with notification of spent fuel shipments. NRC's current regulations do not address notification of Indian tribes. DOE has also developed a satellite tracking system to monitor the status of spent fuel shipments at all times. Distribution of this information to parties other than governors' designees is not compatible with NRC regulations. A rulemaking plan was approved by the Commission on February 2, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Release of Part of a Reactor Facility or Site for Unrestricted Use Before Receiving Approval of the License Termination Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations by adding a new section that would identify the criteria and regulatory framework that a licensee would use to request NRC approval for a partial site release.  The rulemaking would provide additional assurance that residual radioactivity would meet the radiological criteria for license termination, even if parts of the site were released before a licensee submits its license termination plans.  The rulemaking would clarify that the radiological criteria for unrestricted use apply to a partial site release.  The rulemaking would not provide for a partial site release under restricted conditions.  Also, the rulemaking would provide for a Subpart 2 hearing if a license amendment involving a partial site release is challenged.

The rulemaking would fill a gap identified during the NRC's consideration of a technical specification amendment request for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station to remove a restriction on the sale or lease of property within the exclusion area.  During the Oyster Creek review, the NRC staff concluded that it is possible for a reactor licensee to sell land that would reduce the size of its site before the license termination criteria would specifically apply to the release of the property.  If the sale does not involve the transfer of licensed material, it would not require NRC approval under current regulations.  Currently, the NRC must consider changes to the site boundary of a reactor site on a case-by-case basis to ensure adequate protection of the public and the environment.  Because several reactor licensees have expressed interest in selling parts of the sites before they receive approval of their license termination plans, the NRC staff believes the issues should be resolved generically by rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to incorporate by reference the following:  (1) the 1997 Addenda, 1998  Edition, 1999 Addenda, and 2000 Addenda of Division 1 rules of Section III, "Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components," of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME B&PV Code); (2) the 1997 Addenda, 1998 Edition, 1999 Addenda, and 2000 Addenda of Division 1 rules of Section XI, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components," of the ASME B&PV Code; and (3) the 1997 Addenda, 1998 Edition, 1999 Addenda, and 2000 Addenda of the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants.  This rule also withdraws a supplemental proposed rule that would have eliminated the requirement for licensees to update their ISI and IST programs every 120 months to the latest ASME Code edition and addenda incorporated by reference in the regulations (120-Month ISI/IST Update Requirement (AG39)).]]></ABSTRACT>

These changes would be compatible with TS-R-1, the latest revision of the IAEA transportation standards.  This rulemaking would also address the unintended economic impact of NRC's emergency final rule entitled "Fissile Material Shipments and Exemptions" (February 10, 1997; 62 FR 5907) and a petition for rulemaking submitted by International Energy Consultants, Inc.

        <RULE_TITLE>Submission of Financial Information for Applications to Renew or Extend the Term of an Operating License for Power Reactors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations concerning financial qualifications for entities other than electric utilities seeking renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses.  The Commission's regulations currently require the submission of financial qualifications information for applicants for initial operating licenses and renewal of operating licenses, except for applicants for and holders of operating licenses for nuclear power plants that are electric utilities.  Thus, applicants for renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses under 10 CFR part 54 that are entities other than electric utilities must submit financial qualifications information as part of their renewal application.  However, section 54.29 does not contain a requirement for an NRC finding of financial qualification for entities other than electric utilities seeking renewal of their operating license.

The NRC has received requests for license renewals and has granted two renewed licenses to electric utilities.  However, because of ongoing deregulation in the electricity sector of the economy, new entities other than electric utilities are expected to be formed that will hold operating licenses for nuclear power plants.  Some of these entities may decide to extend the life of their nuclear power plants through the license renewal process and, under the current regulations, would be required to submit financial qualifications information under section 50.33(f).  However, a finding of financial qualification need not be made under section 54.29 to issue the renewed license.  Therefore, the Commission needs to address and resolve by appropriate rulemaking the matter of financial qualifications for entities other than electric utilities seeking renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses.  The staff intends to develop  a rule that would modify the requirement in the last sentence of section 50.33(f)(2) with respect to entities other than electric utilities seeking renewal of operating licenses for nuclear power plants, and provide the bases for the NRC's not making a financial qualifications finding for these entities in connection with renewal of such entities' nuclear power plant operating licenses in the Statement of Consideration for the rule.  The rule would continue the existing requirement in section 50.33(f) with respect to non-power reactors.  Furthermore, the rule would not affect submission of financial qualifications information and the need for a finding of financial qualifications with respect to transfers of nuclear power plant operating licenses.]]></ABSTRACT>

Language would be added to section 50.55a incorporating by reference three NRC-developed regulatory guides which address NRC review and approval of ASME-published code cases.  This action would give NRC-approved code cases the same legal status as the corresponding requirements in the ASME BPV and OM Codes which have already been incorporated by reference in section 50.55a.]]></ABSTRACT>

These revised requirements will reduce the industrywide annual cost for all licensees to comply with part 26 by approximately $15 million. The rulemaking will address the Regulatory Review Group items on audit frequency and annual submittal of data. The rulemaking will also address the petition for rulemaking submitted by the Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) (PRM-26-1).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The direct final rule will permit voluntary electronic submission of documents and provide procedures for submitting documents electronically. Amending the regulations to permit electronic submission will facilitate the electronic capture of externally generated documents into the Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The rulemaking will address and improve the document control and records management issues that are of concern to the NRC, its applicants, licensees, and members of the public by improving the process of communication, dissemination, and storage of records. In addition, the rulemaking will incorporate minor corrections to the current regulations regarding the submission of documents to the NRC, for example, organizational, name, and phone number changes. This rulemaking is consistent with existing legislative and regulatory initiatives, such as the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Office of Management and Budget Circular A-130 (Revised February 8, 1996), and the Government Paperwork Reduction Elimination Act of 1998, to reduce the information collection burden on the public and to make information more readily accessible to the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule would amend the Commission's regulations to ensure that decommissioning trust agreements are in a form acceptable to the NRC to increase assurance that decommissioning funds will be available for their intended purpose, especially in light of economic deregulation and restructuring of the electric utility industry.  Based on past experience with the NRC approval of the transfer of the operating licenses of the Three Mile Island Unit 1 and Pilgrim Nuclear Power Stations, the staff believes that this rulemaking would expedite similar transfers in the future.  The staff also intends to develop guidance by revising Regulatory Guide 1.159, "Assuring the Availability of Funds for Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors," that will specify more fully the provisions of the decommissioning trust agreements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update Fuel Performance Considerations and Other Fuel Cycle Issues</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations by addressing uranium fuel cycle environmental data (Table S-3) and the environmental effects of transportation of fuel and waste data (Table S-4).  In section 51.51, the environmental data would be re-estimated and reflect changes in the structure and activities of the fuel cycle and the availability of better data.  Estimates of releases of Radon-222 and Technetium-99 would be added to Table S-3.  The addition of a specific value for Radon-222 would address the outstanding portion of petition for rulemaking PRM-51-1, submitted by the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution.  To provide immediate relief to the petitioners request, the Commission published a final rule on March 14, 1997 (42 FR 13803), that removed the original value for Radon-222 from Table S-3 so that it then became subject to case-specific litigation.  It was anticipated that the Commission would add a specific value for Radon-22, but deferred action until a general updating of Table S-3 is undertaken.  For section 51.52, the environmental impact estimates would be re-estimated to reflect the use of more highly  enriched fuel and discharge of more highly irradiated fuel from a reactor; longer onsite storage; and changes in transportation modes, transport to retrievable storage sites and a permanent repository rather than reprocessing facilities, packaging technology, and regulatory standards.  The re-estimates would incorporate current research information and computer codes.

This rulemaking would result in current and more accurate estimates of the environmental impact of licensing a new plant, and would eliminate the requirement to review the contribution to environmental impacts from Radon-222 and Technetium-99 in individual plant reviews.  This rule is being reissued as a proposed rule and would update the initial rulemaking effort to address newly emerging issues and research.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The advance notice of proposed rulemaking requested public comment, information, and recommendations on contemplated amendments to the Commission's regulations governing the release of radionuclides from licensed nuclear facilities into sanitary sewer systems. The Commission believes that by incorporating current sewer treatment technologies the contemplated rulemaking would improve the control of radioactive materials released to sanitary sewer systems by licensed nuclear facilities. The NRC and the Environmental Protection Agency are conducting a joint survey of sewage treatment plants to evaluate the extent of contamination due to release of radioactive material into sewerage systems.  The need for and the extent of a rulemaking will be evaluated pending the result of the survey and the associated dose assessment.  This rulemaking would also address a petition for rulemaking (PRM-20-22) submitted by the Northeast Ohio Sewer District.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the Skin Dose Limit</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to establish a unified skin dose limit that would apply to all skin dose situations, including "hot particle" exposures.  The amendment, based on an advisory from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement, would change the method of calculating dose to the skin and the extremities by requiring that the assigned skin or extremity dose be the dose averaged over the 10 square centimeters of skin receiving the highest exposure, rather than the current requirement to average dose to the highest exposed 1 square centimeter.  This rulemaking would make the skin dose limit less restrictive when small areas of skin are irradiated, and address skin dose from all sources, including "hot particles" and small area contamination, under a single limit.  Licensees currently monitor workers frequently to avoid reportable doses from "hot particles," at the cost of additional, unproductive whole-body dose.  The rule would trade a higher risk of small, transient acute effects to the skin, such as reddening or small breaks in the skin barrier, for a reduction in whole-body dose and its associated risk of cancer.  An additional worker benefit is a reduction in the overly conservative use of protective clothing and associated industrial hazards, such as heat stress and the potential for accidents.]]></ABSTRACT>

Special treatment requirements are requirements imposed on structures, systems, and components (SSCs) that provide additional confidence so that these SSCs are capable of meeting design basis functional requirements. The contemplated risk-informed approach would categorize SSCs and vary the associated regulatory treatment based on the SSC's safety significance. This action is a result of the Commission?s continuing efforts to risk-inform its regulations. The staff plans to provide the Commission with a proposed rule package in May 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Integrated Rulemaking for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A staff requirements memorandum dated June 23, 1999, directed the NRC staff to consider an integrated, risk-informed decommissioning rule rather than individual rulemakings to address emergency preparedness, insurance, safeguards, operator staffing, and backfit for nuclear power plants that are being decommissioned. SECY-99-168 dated June 30, 1999, recommended that the integrated approach be approved and outlined staff plans for pursuing such a rulemaking. Accordingly, the staff has subsumed previous rulemaking activities in the areas of emergency planning, insurance, safeguards, operator staffing, and backfit into one integrated rulemaking effort. This rulemaking would apply to licensees who certified, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a), that they have permanently ceased facility operation(s) and have permanently removed fuel from the reactor vessel. The Commission approved this approach in an SRM dated December 21, 1999. This rulemaking would also address a petition for rulemaking submitted by the North Carolina Public Utility Commission (PRM-50-57).

In SECY-00-145, dated June 28, 2000, the NRC staff recommended a decommissioning rulemaking plan in the areas of emergency planning, insurance, safeguards, operator staffing, and backfit (the integrated decommissioning rulemaking plan).  The rulemaking plan relied on a decommissioning risk study as a basis for its recommendations.  The Commission returned the rulemaking  plan to the staff for rework in September 2000, based on changes to the decommissioning risk study findings.  The decommissioning risk study, NUREG-1738, was issued in January 2001.  After assessing the findings in the risk study, the staff presented a policy options paper to the Commission, SECY-01-0100, dated June 4, 2001, that provided options and made recommendations on issues to be addressed in the integrated rulemaking.  The staff plans to provide the Commission a schedule for the integrated rulemaking 60 days after the SRM for SECY-01-0100 is issued.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to improve safety by better focusing on the risk-significant challenges from combustible gases; ensure combustible gas control during all risk-significant events; and eliminate those aspects of current requirements that provide no safety benefit.  A staff requirement memorandum dated January 19, 2001, directed the staff to proceed expeditiously with rulemakings on the risk-informed alternative of section 50.44, including completion of outstanding  technical work (e.g., development of combustible gas source terms) and necessary regulatory analyses.  Also, this rulemaking addresses the petition for rulemaking submitted by Bob Christie (PRM-50-68).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Storage of Greater Than Class C Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will amend the Commission's regulations to include storage of Greater than Class C (GTCC) waste, that is, waste that exceeds the concentration limits of radionuclides established for Class C waste in 10 CFR 61.55(a)(2)(iv). It is anticipated that the decommissioning activities at nuclear power plants will generate relatively small volumes of GTCC waste. However, because there are currently no disposal options for GTCC waste, utilities must store these wastes under their part 50 licenses pending development of a disposal facility. The Department of Energy has the responsibility for developing a national strategy for disposal of GTCC waste. Based on current plans, this disposal capability will not likely be available for many years. This rulemaking will allow independent spent fuel storage installations to store GTCC waste similarly to spent fuel and facilitate the likely eventual transfer to a permanent geologic repository. This rulemaking will also respond to a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Portland General Electric Company (PRM-72-2).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will amend the Commission's regulations to promote more effective plant operating experience for initial license applicants through improved on-the-job training by allowing use of the simulation facility in lieu of the actual plant to satisfy the license eligibility requirement for performance of control manipulations that affect reactivity or power level. The rulemaking will also facilitate the adaptation of existing simulator support and requalification training programs to the 1998 revision of the national standard (ANSI/ANS-3.5) to eliminate recurring outdated, duplicate, and inefficient simulator performance testing and reporting requirements. This rulemaking will bring the NRC's current regulations up to date with evolutionary changes in simulation technology, training, and examination programs. This rulemaking will directly reduce unnecessary regulatory burden by eliminating the current requirement for submittal of certification and performance test reports on a quadrennial basis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to NRC licensees and applicants for an NRC license.  The amendments are necessary to recover 98 percent of the NRC's budget authority for Fiscal Year 2001, less the amount appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund and the General Fund.  The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended, requires that the NRC accomplish the 98-percent recovery for FY 2001 through the assessment of fees.  The dollar amount to be recovered for FY 2001 is approximately $453.3 million.  The act requires that the fees for FY 2001 must be collected by September 30, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

The results of the risk-based capital stress test will be used to determine each Enterprise's risk-based capital requirements and, along with the minimum capital requirement, to determine each Enterprise's capital classification for purposes of possible supervisory action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulation revising the executive branch public and confidential financial disclosure report systems for high-level officials and certain mid-level employees, respectively, in light of the changes to the Ethics in Government Act effected by the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-194), as amended. These disclosure provisions apply to public reports filed since January 1, 1991. Subpart I of the regulation, effective October 5, 1992, superseded prior executive branchwide and agency-specific regulations and established a revised system of confidential reporting, modeled generally on the public reporting system, for executive branch agency mid-level employees with sensitive duties and special Government employees. This regulation also has a subpart dealing with certificates of divestiture.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulation had, in pertinent part, implemented, effective January 1, 1991, the prohibition on honoraria (now declared unconstitutional by the courts as to most rank and file executive branch employees and hence determined to be eviscerated as to all other Federal employees by the Office of Legal Counsel of the Justice Department). In addition, the regulation continues to implement the limitation on outside employment as provided in the 1989 Ethics Reform Act revisions to the Ethics in Government Act, as amended. The regulation has now been amended in light of the above-noted litigation and other pertinent developments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interpretation, Exemptions, and Waiver Guidance Concerning 18 U.S.C. 208 (Acts Affecting a Personal Financial Interest)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation interprets section 208(a) of title 18, U.S. Code, which prohibits officers and employees of the executive branch from officially participating personally and substantially in a particular matter in which there is a personal financial interest or a financial interest of a related person or organization (absent a waiver or exemption under 18 U.S.C. 208(b)). It also lists and describes interests considered too remote or too inconsequential to affect the integrity of the services of executive branch officers or employees, in accordance with 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(2). Such interests are exempt from the restrictions of 18 U.S.C. 208(a), generally requiring disqualification. The regulation also provides guidance to executive branch agencies as to the kinds of interests that are not so substantial as to be deemed likely to affect the integrity of the services the Government may expect from an employee and which, therefore, may be waived from the general rule of disqualification under 18 U.S.C. 208(a), pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(1). In addition, guidance is provided concerning the issuance of waivers to special Government employee advisory committee members, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(3). A separate interim final rule, published in 1995 exempting certain financial interests arising from Federal Government executive branch employment as well as from Social Security or veterans' benefits from the general prohibition in section 208(a), was incorporated in the overall final rule. A set of additional exemptions is now under consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Post-Employment Conflict of Interest Restrictions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Interpretive regulation giving guidance for the executive branch on the various substantive restrictions of the current version of the post-Government employment conflict of interest statute 18 U.S.C. 207, which became effective January 1, 1991, pursuant to title I of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-194), as amended. Parts of the regulation, dealing with procedures for waivers by the Office of Government Ethics of certain senior official constraints (based on executive agency hardship), designated senior employees, and separate agency designations, have already been published in the Federal Register; such designations are periodically updated by the Office of Government Ethics. The Office of Government Ethics also has continued to publish in the CFR the interpretive regulation, 5 CFR part 2637 (but now without the no-longer-effective former Senior Employee and old agency component designation listings), under the lifetime bar of the prior version of the post-employment law which still applies to executive branch employees who left the Government before January 1, 1991. Once a complete current post-employment law final regulation is published, the old part 2637 regulation will be removed from the CFR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The supplemental executive agency standards of ethical conduct regulations, once issued jointly with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) at agency expense in new chapters at the end of 5 CFR, after OGE approval, supplement for each individual agency concerned the OGE executive branch standards of ethical conduct, as codified at 5 CFR part 2635. The supplemental regulations, as they are issued in accordance with sections 201(a) and 301(a) of E.O. 12674, as modified by E.O. 12731, set forth those agency-specific provisions under applicable law and regulation, such as regulatory restrictions on holding certain financial interests, designation of subunits and prior approval for outside employment, which are needed for certain agencies to round out the executive branchwide ethical standards for their employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OMB Circular A-119, "Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards," contains reporting requirements regarding agency use of government-unique standards and voluntary consensus standards along with agency participation in voluntary consensus standards bodies. The Circular instructs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in lieu of government-unique standards in their procurement and regulatory activities, except where inconsistent with law or otherwise impractical. Language in A-119 calls on OMB to review the Circular for effectiveness three years from the date of issuance (February 1998).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since the December 1996 publication of the final rules on training, subsections 5 CFR 410.309 (continued service agreements) and 5 CFR 410.404 (expenses of training and meetings) have caused confusion in agencies, the agencies have asked for clearer regulations. 5 CFR 410.309, as written, omits allowance for agency heads to delegate authority to define requirements for continued service. It also omits circumstances when the requirement for continued service can be waived, which has caused confusion for agencies in developing their continued service agreements. Amending 5 CFR 410.309 returns to regulation, language removed in 1996 that has had the unintended effect of limiting agency head authority in the area of continued service agreements for training. With increasing interest in academic education and service agreements, agencies have expressed concern about their legal authority with regard to theses agreements. 

As written, 5 CFR 410.404 does not sufficiently clarify distinctions between training and meetings. 5 U.S.C. 4109 provides agencies authority to pay the expenses of training. 5 U.S.C. 4110 provides them authority to pay the expenses of meetings.  However, 5 CFR 410.404 blurs the distinctions between these two; amending it would make clear the distinctions, and clarify conditions under which a meeting may be considered training.]]></ABSTRACT>

This legislation removes unnecessary administrative constraints on the agency, provides more flexible and less time consuming procedures, and will improve OPM's administration of sanctions against unfit health care providers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations will implement the financial sanctions provisions of the Federal Employees' Health Care Protection Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-266). In cases where a health care provider had knowingly: (1) submitted false, fraudulent, or misleading claims; (2) failed to provide claims-related information requested by OPM or a FEHBP carrier; or (3) submitted claims while debarred, the statute authorizes OPM to effectuate civil monetary penalties of not more than $10,000 per item or service involved and to assess damages of not more than twice the amount claimed for each item or service. These financial sanctions may be imposed in addition to suspension or debarment; the other forms of sanctions authorized by the statute. The regulatory provisions for suspension and debarment are being implemented in an earlier amendment to 5 CFR 890, subpart J.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing regulations to implement recent amendments to Executive Order 10000 regarding nonforeign area cost-of-living allowances (COLAs).  There regulations eliminate the separate COLA rate paid to Federal employees with commissary and exchange privileges; allow OPM to conduct COLA surveys less frequently; and permit OPM to reduce COLA rates gradually regardless of the cause of the reduction.  These changes will accomplish several of the provisions agreed upon under a recent settlement of litigation concerning nonforeign area COLAs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Employees&apos; Group Life Insurance: Premium Changes and Change in Time Frames for Electing Insurance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 105-311 allowed retiring employees to elect to continue their option B and/or option C coverage on an unreduced basis. Since this means that more people over age 65 will have these coverages and will continue to pay premiums, the previous age band structure (with the top age band being 60 and over) needed to be expanded. OPM previously added additional age bands to option C; we now need to expand these further and to add age bands to option B. In addition, the actuaries have determined that changes in mortality rates warrant further changes to the FEGLI premiums. We are also changing the time frame for electing optional insurance when an employee is first eligible from 31 days to 60 days and adding information relating to Basic insurance for certain Department of Defense employees under Public Law 106-398.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At the President's direction, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued regulations under the Federal Employees' Health Benefits (FEHB) Program to enable employees of all executive branch agencies to pay their share of FEHB premiums with pre-tax dollars in accordance with section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. OPM simultaneously amended salary allotment regulations at 5 CFR 550, because employees participating in premium conversion must allot a portion of salary to their employing agency that agencies then use to pay the employee share of FEHB premiums. The regulations establish the basic rules under which premium conversion will operate beginning in October 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 106-394 requires mandatory self and family coverage for FEHB-eligible employees who do not comply with a court or administrative order to provide health benefits for their children.  This regulation requires that employees subject to such an order be enrolled in self and family coverage in a plan that provides full benefits to his/her child(ren) in the area where they live or provide documentation to his/her employing office that he/she has other health coverage for the children. If the employee does not enroll in an appropriate health plan or provide documentation of other coverage for the children, the employing office will enroll the employee for self and family coverage in the option of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan that provides the lower level of coverage. This type of mandatory coverage has been in effect for several years in the private sector. This regulation defines how this requirement will be implemented in the Federal Employees' Health Benefits Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Suspension of Enrollment in the Federal Employees&apos; Health Benefits Program to Enroll in the TRICARE</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Defense Authorization Act for 2001 (Act) contains provisions that extend Tricare pharmacy coverage to Uniformed Services Medicare eligible retirees, spouses, and survivors effective April 1, 2001. This will allow Uniformed Services beneficiaries to get prescriptions through Tricare's retail, mail order, or military treatment facility pharmacies. The Act also allows these beneficiaries to regain eligibility for Tricare medical benefits effective October 1, 2001. Some enrollees in the FEHB Program served in the Uniformed Services prior to their civilian employment with the Federal Government. In certain cases, having served in both the Uniformed Services and as a civilian Federal employee entitles an individual to retirement benefits under both the Uniform Services and the civil service retirement systems. The purpose of this proposed regulation is to allow FEHB Program annuitants to suspend their enrollment so they can use their Tricare benefits instead of their FEHB benefits. This regulation will also allow these individuals to voluntarily reenroll in the FEHB Program during the next Open Season if they no longer want to solely use the Tricare program to meet their health care needs. If an eligible individual is involuntarily disenrolled from the Tricare program, this proposed regulation would give the individual the right to immediately reenroll in the FEHB Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

The RPL provides competitive service employees, separated by reduction in force, with the first opportunity for reemployment in their former agency over candidates who do not work for the agency. The RPL also provides the same priority to former employees who were separated or downgraded because of a compensable injury or disability and have fully recovered more than one year after compensation began. These proposed regulations would update RPL procedures in order to assist agencies in providing displaced employees with maximum reemployment opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations that establish a requirement that Federal agencies counsel employees entering nonpay status, or whose pay is insufficient to cover their FEHB premium payments, of the options of continuing or terminating their FEHB coverage, and if continuing, of paying premiums directly on a current basis or incurring a debt to be withheld from future salary. These regulations are intended to ensure employees are fully aware of these alternatives. We have received comments on the interim rules, which are under review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Repayment of Student Loans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations amend part 537 of Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, entitled Repayment of Student Loans, Published in the "Federal Register" on January 11, 2001 (66FR 2790).  These provisions give agencies greater recruiting and retention flexibility by; removing the restriction of this incentive to professional, technical, or administrative personnel; removing the limitation of this incentive to employees covered under General Schedule pay rates; and broadening the types of loans which qualify under this part under the Higher Education Act of 1965 and the Public Health Service Act; requiring agencies to report annually to OPM on their use of this incentive.  

In addition, these provisions require OPM to report annually to Congress on agencies' use of this incentive.  These regulations reflect the amendments to 5 U.S.C. 5379 (the authorizing statute for Repayment of Student Loans) contained in Public Law 106-398, the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) published interim regulations to increase the cost-of-living allowance (COLA) rate paid to certain Federal employees in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).  The regulations increased the Guam/CNMI Local Retail COLA rate from 22.5 percent to 25 percent.  The increase is a result of living-cost surveys conducted in October and November 1998 using current methodologies for calculating COLA rates.  OPM will adopt the interim regulations as final in a future rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Peace Corps intends to publish proposed revisions to its Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) and Governmentwide Requirements for Drug-Free Workplace (Financial Assistance) rule in 22 CFR part 310 in conjunction with other participating agencies.  Under the proposed rule, Peace Corps' debarment and suspension provisions would remain in part 310 and would set out procedures to be used by the Peace Corps when it has evidence that a recipient of Peace Corps funds pursuant to a nonprocurement agreement, such as grant or cooperative agreement, has committed fraud, embezzlement, forgery, or a variety of other serious offenses.

The rule's drug-free workplace provisions would be moved to a new rule, part 312, and would include requirements, prohibitions, and procedures regarding the unlawful manufacturing, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of a controlled substance by a grantee of the Peace Corps in conducting any activity under a Peace Corps grant.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The PBGC's regulations prescribe rules for valuing a terminating plan's benefits for several purposes, including (1) determining employer liability and (2) allocating assets to determine benefit entitlements. The PBGC's interest assumption for valuing benefits, when combined with the PBGC's mortality assumption, is intended to reflect the market price of single-premium, nonparticipating group annuity contracts for terminating plans. In developing its interest assumptions, the PBGC uses data from surveys conducted by the American Council of Life Insurers. The PBGC currently uses a mortality assumption based on the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table in its benefit valuation and asset allocation regulations (29 CFR parts 4044 and 4281). 

In May 1995, the Society of Actuaries Group Annuity Valuation Table Task Force issued a report that recommends new mortality tables for a new Group Annuity Reserve Valuation Standard and a new Group Annuity Mortality Valuation Standard. In December 1996, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners adopted the new tables as models for determining reserve liabilities for group annuities. The PBGC is considering incorporating these tables into its regulations and making other modifications.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Many cash balance plans use variable indices to determine future retirement benefits.  When such a plan terminates in a distress or involuntary termination, the PBGC must make a number of determinations that require it to project future retirement benefit amounts.  To do so, the PBGC must make assumptions about the future performance of the variable index.  The PBGC is reviewing public comments on what assumptions it should make and has not yet determined if there is a need to proceed with rulemaking to address these issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule, published in the Federal Register on September 18, 1998, at 63 FR 50024, revises and expands upon the interim final rule adopted when the Presidio was transferred from the National Park Service to the Presidio Trust (Trust). The interim final rule was published on June 30, 1998, and can be found at 63 FR 35694. These proposed rules cover general provisions (part 1001); public use and recreational activities and protection of natural, cultural, and archeological resources (part 1002); vehicle and traffic safety (part 1003); and commercial operations (part 1004) and have been revised to be consistent with existing regulations, conform with laws in neighboring jurisdictions, and simplify the language and organization of the regulations. The remaining proposed regulations address rights-of-way (part 1005); Presidio Trust symbols (part 1006); requests under the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts (parts 1007 and 1008); and administrative claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act (part 1009). 

By notice published on January 19, 1999, in the Federal Register at 64 FR 2870, the Trust held in abeyance until further notice a portion of the proposed rules: 36 CFR 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, and 1006. Any future action on these rules will be noticed in the Federal Register and subject to additional public comment. In the interim, the Trust's final interim regulations at 36 CFR 1001, 1002, 1004, and 1005 remain in effect. The public comment period for proposed rule 36 CFR 1005 closed on January 8, 1999. Public comment on the remaining proposed rules, 36 CFR 1007, 1008, and 1009, closed on November 17, 1998, and the Trust issued final regulations on December 30, 1998, effective January 29, 1999. These regulations can be found at 63 FR 71771.]]></ABSTRACT>

Thus far, foreign issuers have only voluntarily filed their securities documents on EDGAR.  By extending mandated EDGAR filing rules to foreign issuers, we hope to achieve the same efficiencies in information dissemination sought when we adopted the mandated EDGAR filing regime for domestic issuers in 1993.]]></ABSTRACT>

Proposed rule 56, previously considered in RIN 3235-AF79, clarifies that a subsidiary of a registered holding company that is engaged exclusively in the business of owning an interest in one or more foreign utility companies will be deemed a foreign utility company.  The proposed amendment to rule 87 would require registered holding companies to obtain Commission approval of intrasystem agreements involving foreign utility companies and exempt wholesale generators.]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendments are also designed to eliminate certain conflicting or duplicative recordkeeping, reporting, telegraphic notice, and quarterly count requirements involving SFPs for firms that are "notice" registered with the SEC under the section 15(b)(11)(A) of the Exchange Act.  These amendments were developed in consultation with the CFTC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addressing Abuses of Form S-8 by Companies Using Consultants To Raise Capital</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed additional amendments to Form S-8 requirements to further deter the misuse of that form. The proposals would add a timeliness requirement for filings under the Exchange Act in order to use the form. In addition, a company formed by merger of a non-public company into an Exchange Act reporting company with only nominal assets at the time of merger would have to wait until it had filed an Exchange Act annual report containing audited financial statements reflecting the merger before it could use Form S-8. The Commission also extended the comment period on the proposal in Release No. 33-7506 to require disclosure in Part II of Form S-8 of the names of consultants who will receive securities, the number of securities to be issued to each of them, and the specific services that each will provide.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed a new Form N-6 to be used for separate accounts offering variable life insurance contracts to register under both the Investment Company Act and the Securities Act. Currently, most insurance company separate accounts are organized as unit investment trusts (UITs) and register their interests on Form S-6. Form S-6 was developed for UITs generally, and not specifically for insurance company separate accounts that offer interests in variable life insurance contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of its comprehensive review of Exchange Act Rule 15c3-1, the net capital rule, the Commission proposed for comment an amendment to the net capital rule revising the percentage deductions from net worth, or haircuts, applicable to interest rate products when calculating net capital. Under the proposal, haircuts on Government securities, investment grade corporate securities, certain mortgage-backed securities, interest rate swaps, and other interest rate-related derivative instruments would be determined by treating these instruments as part of a single portfolio.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of its efforts to respond to fraud and manipulation in the microcap securities market, the Division submitted for Commission consideration final amendments to Rule 15c2-11. These amendments would limit the Rule's piggyback provision and increase public availability of issuer information.  The amendments would modestly expand the information review requirements for non-reporting issuers and the documentation required for significant relationships between the broker-dealer and the issuer of the security to be quoted. Finally the amendments would exclude from the rule securities of larger, more liquid issuers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Federal securities laws, regulated entities, including registered broker-dealers, transfer agents, investment companies, and investment advisers, and public utility holding companies, must keep certain records of their activities.  The Commission currently allows these entities to keep certain records electronically, subject to standards designed to protect investors' interests, the financial stability of regulated entities, and generally to further the purposes of the Federal securities laws.  The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 ("ESign") is intended to remove unnecessary impediments to the use of electronic records in commerce, while preserving the ability of agencies like the Commission to reconcile ESign's policy with the statutes they administer. The Commission issued interpretative guidance and adopted rules consistent with ESign. The rules include RINs 3235-AI05, 3235-AI12, and 3235-AH74.]]></ABSTRACT>

Rule 3a55-2 excludes from the definition of a narrow-based index certain securities indexes that have traded on futures markets for less than 30 days.  Rule 3a55-3 provides that when a future on a security index is traded on or subject to the rules of a foreign board of trade, it will not be considered a narrow-based security index if a future on that same index were traded on a designated contract market or registered derivative transaction execution facility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Financial Assistance proposes to publish an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to solicit opinions regarding our intention to propose a regulation to consider 504 program changes including a better definition of "local economic development," and the organizational and program requirements Certified Development Companies (CDCs) must satisfy in order to be in compliance with this concept, and whether CDCs should be allowed to establish entities to participate as 7(a) lenders. As part of the regulation, for-profit CDCs' organizational requirements will be dealt with specifically to ensure that they are in compliance with the Congressional intent for the program.]]></ABSTRACT>

Today, SBA guarantees loans through approximately 7,000 lenders. Of these lenders, about 14 are Small Business Lending Companies (SBLCs) that are not otherwise regulated by Federal or State chartering, licensing, or similar regulatory control. SBA examines or audits these SBLCs periodically. Congressional and Administration policy to privatize SBA lending and levels in loan volume require that SBA increase its SBLC oversight.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Women-owned businesses have long been regarded as the fastest growing segment of the United States business community.  Although women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) in particular have increased by 78 percent between 1987 and 1996, almost twice the rate of growth of all U.S. businesses, they do not receive a commensurate share of Federal contracting dollars.

This disparity has continued despite several congressional and executive efforts over a number of years to increase Federal contracting with WOSBs.  One effort that had no significant result was the 1979 Executive Order 12138 that charged Federal agencies with providing procurement assistance to WOSBs.  Awards thereafter to WOSBs reached only 0.2 percent of all Federal procurements.  Prior to the legislation implemented by the instant regulations, the most current legislation containing significant guidance to Federal agencies regarding increased awards with WOSBs is the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994.  FASA established a target award of 5 percent of all Federal prime and subcontracting contract dollars to WOSBs.  However, actual subsequent awards to WOSBs have never exceeded 2.5 percent of prime contract dollars and have not achieved 5 percent of subcontract dollars.  In FY 2000, prime contract awards to WOSBs were below 2.3 percent of total Federal dollars, a drop from the percentage awarded to WOSBs in FY 1999.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[On December 21, 2000, Congress enacted section 811 of the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000, Public Law 106-554, to provide contracting officials a mechanism that targeted Government programs for contracting with WOSBs.  Section 811 amended the Small Business Act by adding a new section 8(m), 15 U.S.C. 637(m), authorizing contracting officers to restrict competition to eligible WOSBs for certain Federal contracts in industries that SBA has determined that WOSBs are under represented or substantially under represented in Federal procurement.

The new section 8(m) of the Small Business Act limits the contracting officer's authority to restrict competition to contracts not exceeding $3 million for services or $5 million in manufacturing.  To implement the new section 8(m) of the Act, this proposed rule would establish a WOSB Federal Contract Assistance Program to be administered by the CAWBO within SBA's Office of Government Contracting.  The program would be considered part of SBA's Government contracting programs set forth under part 125 of title 13 of the Code of Federal Regulations, for ease of reference, the proposed WOSB regulations would be contained in the new part 127 of title 13.

The proposed rule provides conforming amendments necessary to integrate the program into SBA's size and Government contracting regulations.  The proposed rule would amend part 125.3 of the title 13 of the Code of Federal Regulations to encourage contracting officers to include a subcontracting participation evaluation factor in certain solicitations to evaluate the participation of certain small businesses in contract performance.  This would provide consistency with the statutory mandate that small businesses, including WOSBs, have the maximum practicable opportunity to become subcontractors for Federal contracts exceeding $100,000 and that they be included in subcontracting plans required under section 8(d) of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 632(d).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Prior to the implementation of the Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Assistance Program, the SBA has supported an increase in Federal prime and subcontracting to WOSBs through a number of avenues.  SBA personnel from Headquarters and the district offices have provided training across the country to WOSBs through conference participation and individual counseling.  Special efforts to provide this support and outreach to WOSBs have been made by the personnel of the SBA's Area Offices of the Office of Government Contracting. In addition, the Office of Government Contracting negotiates the yearly prime and sub-contracting goals for WOSBs with other Federal agencies, encouraging each agency to award at least 5 percent in both prime and subcontracting dollars to WOSBs. 

A major step toward an increase in Federal training and awards to WOSBs was the formation in early FY 2001 of the CAWBO. This office, part of the Office of Government Contracting, now has the primary responsibility for the yearly award of the Frances Perkins Award to deserving large businesses that have been exemplary in their support and subcontracting to WOSBs. Through CAWBO, the Office of Government Contracting also continues to sponsor the Federal $ and Sense Program for Women, which requires Federal participants to provide procurement training and support to WOSBs through a variety of events.  CAWBO personnel also work to assist WOSBs through regular meetings with Women's Advocates from most of the primary Federal agencies.  Another CAWBO effort, in concert with the National Women's Business Counsel, to train and provide Federal procurement data to WOSBs has been the launch of a web site, www.WomenBiz.gov, which provides extensive information through the procurement material on-line and links to many related web sites. 

These efforts to date have resulted in an increase in Federal prime contract awards to WOSBs from 0.2 percent in the early 1990s to a current 2.3 percent, but never higher than 2.5 percent.  It is anticipated that the regulations contained in section 811 of the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000, Public Law 106-554, will now provide contracting officers a tool that will allow all agencies to reach awards of 5 percent in both prime and subcontracting to WOSBs.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[In October 2000, the CAWBO was established as part of the general reorganization of the Office of Government Contracting and Business Development (GC/BD).  This was the beginning of FY 2001 and neither the salaries of the  six members of CAWBO, nor any other CAWBO expenses, were included in the budget.  However, CAWBO has the primary responsibility for implementing the regulations now in review.  To the greatest extent possible, the program has been developed to utilize already existing SBA offices, personnel, and resources.  Further, the cost of certification for WOSBs not currently eligible through another Federal program will be the responsibility of the applicants and will be performed in the private sector.  Most of the personnel costs associated with this new program have been absorbed in FY 2001 by the Office of Government Contracting.  Some additional new program costs, once regulations are approved, are overseeing the selection of certifiers for WOSBs, providing program evaluations for the certifiers and selected certified firms, and overseeing protests of certified or self-certified WOSBs.  Development and ongoing costs of the tracking systems for certification and protest data are related expenses.   An initial study and later reexamination of data regarding the percentages of Federal dollars being awarded in various industries to WOSBs is central to the program.  Training of both WOSBs and the Federal contracting community about the new program is also paramount to the success of the program and will require some travel and related training aids.
 
Assistance from other SBA offices will continue to be required to support the legislation underlying this program.  The initial reviews of protests will be done in the Area Offices of the Office of Government Contracting. The Office of the General Counsel has been instrumental in producing the regulations. Other agency offices are already participating in the development of program support functions.  Thus, the expense of developing and implementing the regulations is being minimized through existing offices and use of private certifiers.  And to the extent possible, cooperation with other agencies, the Federal procurement community, and use of the Internet for training also reduce the costs associated with the program.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The primary risk related to the draft regulations for the Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Assistance Program is the possibility that the review and implementation of the regulations will not be within the time frame planned by the Agency.  However, the regulations, when examined regarding their relationship to other SBA small business contracting and certification programs, should be complimentary to programs already in existence.  This program for WOSBs addresses the segment of the small business community that has been statistically most underrepresented in Federal prime and subcontracting.  Further, training and other support provided by SBA personnel for this and other SBA contracting programs will benefit all segments of the small business community.  In addition to higher awards to WOSBs, this synergistic relationship among SBA contracting programs is expected to produce an increase in the total Federal prime and subcontracting percentages being awarded to all small businesses.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA is issuing a rule adopting administrative wage garnishment and administrative offset regulations to implement the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. The rule would allow SBA to garnish the wages of a person indebted to the United States for any non-tax debt without first obtaining a judgment. The debtor generally would be entitled to a hearing before a Judge assigned to SBA's Office of Hearings and Appeals.  The proposed rule would also include administrative offset and other remedies to comply with Treasury directives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, National Origin, Handicap, and Age in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972, (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act).  Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.  In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition "program or activity" to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act.  The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes.  The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations.  The Department's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Microloan Program 2000 Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[PL 106-554 makes several changes to SBA's microloan program, increasing in several places the dollar amounts used to define aspects of the program.  For example, the maximum microloan amount is $20,000 (formerly $15,000) unless the borrower demonstrates that it is unable to obtain credit elsewhere.  Similarly, an intermediary may not make a loan of more than $35,000 (formerly $25,000), and no borrower may owe an intermediary more than $35,000 (formerly $25,000) at any one time.  Also, the number of non-lender technical assistance grants increased from $125,000 to $200,000.  In addition, the 2000 Reauthorization Act amendments changed the definitions for a Microloan (a loan of not more than $35,000/formerly $25,000) and Specialized Intermediary (portfolio of microloans averaging $10,000/formerly $7,500).]]></ABSTRACT>

The Supplemental Security Income Program incorporates and uses the same medical criteria as the Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This initiative will enable the Social Security Administration (SSA) to collect qualifying, delinquent titles II and XVI debts owed by former beneficiaries who are now employed in other than Federal employment. Administrative wage garnishment allows SSA to order an employer to deduct a percentage of the disposable pay earned by the worker/debtor, and to send that amount to SSA as payment toward satisfying the delinquent debt. Administrative wage garnishment does not require a court judgment to impose the withholding order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed rules make technical and conforming updates to title XVI based on section 5522(c) of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-33). Section 5522(c) eliminated obsolete terminology in section 1611(e)(1) of the SSACT that specified particular kinds of medical facilities where the $30 reduced benefit rate could apply. Section 5522(c) also amended section 1611(e)(1)(G) of the SSACT to extend applicability of temporary institutionalization benefits to children who enter private medical treatment facilities and who otherwise would be subject to a reduced benefit because of private insurance coverage.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluation Digestive System Disorders (800P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to revise the criteria in the Listing of Impairments (the Listings) that we use to evaluate claims involving digestive impairments. We apply these criteria at step three of our sequential evaluation processes to adults and children who claim Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits based on disability under title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act). The proposed revisions reflect advances in medical knowledge, treatment, and methods of evaluating digestive impairments.  We also propose to remove listings that are redundant and serve only to refer to other listings.

SSA has determined administrative costs to be negligible (i.e., less than $2 million and 25 workyears).  We also estimate a reduction in OASDI benefit payments and Federal SSI payments for fiscal years 2003 through 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose changing several sections of our rules to clarify how we make determinations and decisions at steps 4 and 5 of the sequential evaluation process. Among other things, the proposed rules would clarify (1) the responsibility that claimants have to provide evidence of their disability (including evidence related to their residual functional capacity, and (2) that SSA may use a vocational expert to help determine whet6her a claimant is able to do his or her past relevant work at step 4 of the sequential evaluation process.]]></ABSTRACT>

First, for individuals whose previous semiskilled or skilled work does not allow him or her to transfer skills to other semiskilled or skilled work within his or her residual functional capacity (RFC), we will treat the past work experience as if it were unskilled.

Comprehensive revisions to these listings are being made to ensure that the medical evaluation criteria are up to date and consistent with the latest advances in medicine.  The SSI program incorporates by reference and uses the same medical criteria as the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Benefits for Certain World War II Veterans (880P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to add to Chapter 20 of the CFR new subparts in a new part 408 that would set forth our rules applicable to claims for special veterans benefits (SVB) under title VIII of the Social Security Act. The title VIII program provides monthly benefits to certain WW II veterans who were previously eligible for supplemental security income payments under title XVI of the Act and reside outside the United States. These initial subparts would establish the legal basis for the title VIII program as well as codify the title VIII rules on qualification filing applications, evaluating evidence, computing and paying benefits, and representative payment. We will be proposing additional subparts dealing with other aspects of the title VIII at a later date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Old-Age, Survivors, Disability and Supplemental Security Income; De Novo Review at all Levels of Appeal (888P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current regulations are silent on SSA's practice of reviewing the entire record upon a claimant's request for appeal. SSA will review those parts of the decision that the claimant believes are wrong and will look at any new facts presented. SSA may also review those parts of the decision that the claimant believes are correct and may make them unfavorable or less favorable to the claimant. SSA revised many of its notices in 1990 to inform the public about its de novo review as a result of the decision in Powell v. Heckler, 789 F2d (3rd Cir. 1986).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 100.00 of part B of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of the Disability Regulations describes growth impairments considered severe enough to cause marked and severe functional limitations in a child under age 18. We are proposing revisions to the growth impairment listings. The revisions contained in these regulations reflect advances in medical knowledge, treatment, and methods of evaluating growth impairments. The Supplemental Security Income program incorporates and uses the same medical criteria as the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program.]]></ABSTRACT>

Our proposed revisions will reflect advances in medical knowledge, treatment, and methods of evaluating mental impairments in both adults and children.]]></ABSTRACT>

Traditionally, this has meant that the individual requesting a hearing and the ALJ were present in the same room. These changes will allow us to schedule a VTC hearing without requiring prior written consent, and set out the right to decline such a hearing. We believe that conducting hearings by VTC will improve our efficiency and allow us to serve our customers better.

The VTC provision will aid in reducing the average processing time for hearings by eliminating much of the time some ALJ's must spend to travel to remote sites to conduct hearings face-to-face.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Medical Criteria for Determination of Disability, Appendix 1 to Subpart P--Listing of Impairments (740F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations will make a certain number of discrete technical revisions to the Listing of Impairments, appendix 1 to subpart P, of part 404 of our regulations.  We are making these changes in order to reflect advances in medical practices, to clarify certain listing criteria, to remove a few rarely-used listings, and to add new listings to address current medical practices such as organ transplantation. Also we will remove some technical references, which have become obsolete, and reword some listings to update medical terminology. We use these listings to adjudicate claims for disability under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act when we evaluate claims of individuals at step three of our sequential evaluation process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program (Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999) (767F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final regulations will implement the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program under section 1148 of the Act, as added by section 101(a) of Public Law 106-170. They also will carry out provisions of sections 101(d) and (e) of Public Law 106-170 relating to the implementation of that program. One of SSA's most important initiatives is to assure that Social Security (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries with disabilities who want to work have the opportunity to do so. Individuals with disabilities face multiple barriers in attempting to return to work. The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program, under section 1148 of the Act, removes such barriers by providing beneficiaries with disabilities with the opportunity to obtain rehabilitation, employment and support services from an approved vocational rehabilitation provider of their choice.]]></ABSTRACT>

The revisions eliminate the restriction that we could only grant cost-of-living increases based on rises in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Average Wage Index (AWI) if either the CPI or AWI increased by 3 percent or more during the prescribed measuring period. The 3 percent restriction was removed by legislation enacted in 1986.  These regulations codify statutory provisions enacted in 1986.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to modify our regulations dealing with the recovery of SSI overpayments to reflect statutory authority for SSA to selectively refer information about SSI overpayments to consumer reporting agencies and to recover SSI overpayments through administrative offset by the Department of Treasury against other Federal payments to which the overpaid individual may be entitled. These collection practices would be limited to overpayments made to a person after he or she attained age 18 and would be used after the individual ceases to be an SSI beneficiary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to implement elements of the redesigned disability claims process that have been tested and found to further redesign goals. Specifically, we plan to revise the disability determination process by: (1) eliminating the reconsideration step of the appeals process; (2) enhancing the roles of the disability examiner and medical/psychological consultant to streamline the process and make more effective use of the doctor's knowledge and expertise; and (3) increasing claimant contact and explanation of the requirements for disability.  We plan to implement the redesigned process in phases; the existing process will remain in effect for States that are not yet using the redesigned process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection of Supplemental Security Income Overpayments from Title VIII Benefits (819F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to modify our rules for dealing with the recovery of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit overpayments under title XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act). The final rules would implement statutory authority for SSA to recover SSI overpayments by adjusting the amount of special veterans benefits payable under title VIII of the Act. (Title VIII provides monthly benefits to certain World War II veterans residing outside the United States.) This collection practice would be used when the overpaid individual is no longer eligible for SSI cash benefits. Also, the amount of the SSI overpayment recoverable in a month would be limited to 10 percent of the benefit payable in a month under title VIII unless a different rate of collection is requested and approved or the overpaid person (or that person's spouse) willfully misrepresented or concealed information in connection with the overpayment. In cases of misrepresentation or concealment, the entire title VIII benefit would be subject to adjustment to recover the overpayment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The monthly and yearly SSI student earned income exclusion (SEIE) amounts were increased for eligible children based on final rules published December 29, 2000. Those final rules should have made the same increase for ineligible children for purposes of deeming calculations, but it was inadvertently not included. Under SSA's longstanding rules, the same SEIE amounts have applied to the income of both eligible and ineligible children. These rules will apply the same increase made in the SEIE to ineligible children as for eligible children.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Computation of SSI Benefits for the First Three Months of Payment (476P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SSI eligibility and payment are calculated by taking into account income received by the applicant/recipient. Two calculations must be made for each month. The first is the eligibility computation and is based on the current (payment) month's income. The second is the payment computation, which, under retrospective monthly accounting, is based (usually) on the income of a prior month called the budget month. Generally the budget month is 2 months prior to the payment month. The transitional computation for the first 3 months of SSI payment is an exception to the general rule described above. While the eligibility computation continues to apply to the current month's income, the budget month on which each of the first 3 months' payments is based is the first month of eligibility or reeligibility. This policy was intended to facilitate the transition into the 2 month retrospective accounting cycle and to avoid penalizing the recipient for income received prior to initial SSI eligibility. However, the policy also has the effect of counting income which is only received in one month more than one time. In Jones v. Shalala, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that SSA's transitional computation for the first 3 months of eligibility is not permissible because it will result in the triple counting of nonrecurring income received only in the first month of eligibility. The proposed policy addresses the triple counting of nonrecurring income.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of &quot;Largest Benefit Amount&quot; for Simultaneous Entitlement to Child&apos;s Benefits (481P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 202(k)(2)(A) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 402(k)(2)(A)) contains the statutory requirements for determining the earnings record on which SSA will pay a person, who is simultaneously entitled to child's insurance benefits on the earnings records of more than one worker. Generally, the child's benefits will be paid on the earnings record that yields the highest primary insurance amount (PIA). However, under certain circumstances, the child's benefits will be paid on the earnings record that yields a lower PIA if that record produces the "largest benefit" to which the child could be entitled under section 202(d) without the application of the reduction under the "family maximum" provisions. In implementing section 202(k)(2)(A), SSA has determined the "largest benefit" under section 202(k)(2)(A) by comparing the original benefit amount (i.e., 50 percent of the PIA of a living worker and 75 percent of the PIA of a deceased worker) calculated on the dependent and/or survivor claim of the child on the earnings record of each worker without applying any reductions or deductions. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama in Agee v. Sullivan rejected this interpretation and held that SSA must compare the amounts payable to the child under each earnings record after considering all applicable deductions and reductions other than the reduction under the family maximum provisions. Legal support for both interpretations can be found in the statutory language and legislative history of section 202(k)(2)(A) of the Act. We have found current regulations implementing section 202(k)(2)(A) to be ambiguous. We propose to amend these regulations to reflect the longstanding SSA interpretation, rather than the interpretation adopted by the District Court in the Agee decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Review Process; Administrative Res Judicata and Related Rules (526P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed changes will amend our regulations governing the administrative review process for the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs to update our procedures and to reflect and implement sections 205(b)(3)(A) and 1631(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, as added by section 5107 of Public Law 101-508. Section 5107 specifies certain cases in which our policy on administrative res judicata may not be applied to deny a claimant's subsequent application for benefits under the Social Security or SSI Program. In general, section 5107 provides that an individual's failure to timely request review of an adverse determination (initial or reconsidered) under the Social Security or SSI Program may not be used by us as a basis for a denial of the claimant's subsequent application for benefits under the same program, if the failure to request review was due to certain circumstances specified in the statute. 

We are also proposing to amend our regulations to expand and clarify our policy on administrative res judicata and on collateral estoppel.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will create a new part in the Code of Federal Regulations. The new part will provide standards in the administration of grants and agreements with institutions of higher education, hospitals, other nonprofit organizations, and commercial organizations.

The Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994, enacted August 15, 1994, established SSA as an independent agency separate from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), effective March 31, 1995. To implement its own set of grants regulations, SSA proposes to codify almost verbatim the text of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular Number A-110 "Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Nonprofit Organizations." These regulations will establish SSA grants regulations, separate from the HHS regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deeming of Income From an Ineligible Spouse to an Eligible Individual and an Eligible Child (606P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise the method used under the SSI program to determine income for a child who lives with both parents where one parent is ineligible for SSI because of income deemed from an ineligible spouse. Instead of deeming any excess income from the ineligible spouse to the child, referred to as "pass-through deeming," we would deem income to the child using the method we use where neither parent files for SSI. Under current rules, "pass-through" deeming has had the unintended effect of deeming more income than would have been deemed if the regular rules for deeming from ineligible parents who do not file for SSI are used.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations reflect amendments to the Social Security Act made by sections 213 and 221 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Section 213 requires the establishment of accounts in financial institutions for the payment of past-due SSI benefits after reimbursement to a State for Interim Assistance Reimbursement exceeding 6 months' benefits to representative payees on behalf of children under age 18. These accounts will be dedicated for certain purposes by restrictions on the use of such past-due benefits. 

Section 221 requires past-due SSI benefits after reimbursement to a State for Interim Assistance Reimbursement which equals or exceeds 12 months' benefits to be paid in installments, with certain exceptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effectuation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 in Programs Receiving Financial Assistance by SSA (617P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior to March 31, 1995, SSA was an operating component of HHS and the general regulatory authority for SSA programs and administration was vested in the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) based on section 1102 of the Social Security Act (the Act) (42 U.S.C. 1302). The SSIPIA established SSA as an independent agency in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government effective March 31, 1995, and vested general regulatory authority in the Commissioner of Social Security (the Commissioner). Under section 106(b) of SSIPIA, HHS regulations in effect immediately prior to March 31, 1995, which relate to functions now vested in the Commissioner by reason of SSA's independence, continue to apply to SSA until such time as they are modified, suspended, terminated or repealed by the Commissioner. SSA is promulgating regulations at 20 CFR part 431, which are based in large measure upon the HHS regulations at 45 CFR parts 80, 81, 84, 85, 90, and 91. These SSA regulations reflect changes necessary to adapt the HHS regulations to SSA procedures. Upon SSA's rules becoming final regulations, the HHS regulations will cease to have application to SSA in accordance with section 106(b) of SSIPIA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Work Activity Standard as a Basis for Review of an Individual&apos;s Disabled Status (Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999) (725P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[One of SSA's most important initiatives is to assure that Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries with disabilities who want to work have the opportunity to do so. Individuals with disabilities face multiple barriers in attempting to return to work. Section 111 of Public Law 106-170 provides a new statutory work incentive by eliminating the scheduling of continuing disability medical reviews solely because of an SSDI beneficiary's work activity, once the beneficiary has been entitled to SSDI benefits for 24 months. (Such beneficiaries will continue to be subject to regularly scheduled continuing disability reviews, work investigations, and benefit termination due to earnings from work activity at the level of substantial gainful activity.)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Assignment of Social Security Administration Numbers (SSN) for Nonwork Purposes (751P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SSA published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking regarding when we will assign an SSN to an alien who is legally in the United States (U.S.) but not under authority of law permitting him or her to work in the U.S. We are considering a proposal to assign an SSN to an alien who is legally in the U.S. but does not have authorization to work only if there is a Federal statute or regulation that requires the alien to furnish an SSN to receive a federally-funded benefit or service. Under such a proposal, we would no longer assign an SSN to an alien if the alien's sole reason for applying for the SSN is to satisfy a State or local statute or regulation that requires an individual to furnish an SSN in order to receive a benefit or service. The intent of such a proposed change would be to reduce the possibility of fraud through misuse of SSNs. We are still evaluating the public comments received.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Individuals with disabilities face multiple barriers in attempting to return to work. Section 112 of Public Law 106-170 provides a new statutory work incentive by providing for expedited reinstatement of SSDI and SSI benefits terminated due to work activity, when the former beneficiary requests reinstatement within 60 months because his or her disability prevents work activity. Section 112 also provides for payment of provisional benefits up to six months until SSA makes a determination on the requester's entitlement to reinstated benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

This would simplify the evaluation process and save time and resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final regulations deal with the recovery of overpayments under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program.  They will permit SSA to recover SSI overpayments by adjusting the amount of Social Security benefits payable to the individual under title II of the Act.  This collection practice will be limited to individuals who are not currently eligible to receive an SSI cash benefit.  Also, the amount of the title XVI overpayment recoverable in a month would be limited to 10 percent of the amount payable under title II, unless the overpaid person requests that SSA withhold more or the overpaid person (or his or her spouse) willfully misrepresented or concealed material information in connection with the overpayment.  In case of misrepresentation or concealment, the entire title II benefit amount would be adjusted to recover the overpayment.]]></ABSTRACT>

These new rules increase the amount of information that the consolidating carriers must provide to the public to permit interested persons to participate in the process.  The new rules also require the consolidating carriers to demonstrate that a proposed transaction would be in the public interest, by requiring them, among other things, to demonstrate that the transaction would enhance competition where necessary to offset negative effects of the merger, such as competitive harm or service disruption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of TVA-- Effectuation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Department's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies, including TVA.]]></ABSTRACT>
