        <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 led 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 The alternative would be to continue to work with the disjointed, outdated part 3015.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 cross-cutting requirements not included in other USDA departmentwide administrative regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will remove CFR part 1943, subpart C, "Small Farmer Outreach Training and Technical Assistance Program," under the Farm Service Agency and add new CFR part 26, "Outreach and Assistance to Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers Program," under the Office of the Secretary.  The Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, title XXV, section 2501, and the Department of Agriculture Appropriation Acts provide funding for the "Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers Program."  These acts provide the Office of Outreach with the authority to make grants and enter into contracts, cooperative agreements, and other agreements with entities to provide outreach, training, and technical assistance; to encourage and assist socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers to own and operate farms and ranches; and increase their participation and accessibility to agricultural programs.

**This rulemaking has been withdrawn as the authority for this program now resides with the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service**]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) and Governmentwide Requirements for Drug-Free Workplace (Grants)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The requirements for maintaining a drug-free workplace are being removed as a subpart in the current debarment and suspension common rule, and recodified as a separate part 3021.  The appendix that is  referenced in 3017.50 contains a model for covered transactions that would be accurate for all USDA agencies if USDA had not added certain exclusions in 3017.215 and 3017.220.  Therefore it is necessary to clarify that the appendix contains a general model that will vary for certain categories of transactions in accordance with the exclusions from covered transactions in 3017.215 and 3017.220.  USDA has limited covered transactions under its current debarment and suspension regulation (7 CFR part 3017) to primary tier transactions for all of its export and foreign assistance programs.  In 3017.755 (a) and 3017.870 (a) USDA has added the requirement that the record remain open for a full 30 days after the respondent receives the notice of suspension or debarment even if a submission in opposition is made before the 30 days expire.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Program To Provide Technical Assistance To Promote U.S. Agricultural Exports to Emerging Markets (Emerging Markets Program)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to establish regulations applicable to the Emerging Markets 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 definitions 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Provisions and Revisions to Sugar Reexport Programs Under 7 CFR 1530</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation governs the importation of world price sugar and its subsequent use as a refined reexport, product ingredient, or input into the production of polyhydric alcohols.  The proposed amendments and/or modifications are principally aimed at reorganizing and simplifying the complexity of the current Regulation; clarifying certain definitions, including the coverage of beet and cane sugar, extending the scope of the Regulation to specially include toll operations which was inadvertently omitted; establishing a reexport program for raw sugar; and implementing Mexico-NAFTA legal commitments.  The proposed action will provide for increased operational efficiencies and promote the Government's objectives regarding regulatory simplification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers (TAA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Trade Act of 2002 (HR 3009) amended title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. et seq.) to establish a trade adjustment assistance (TAA) program for farmers for the purpose of providing cash benefits to eligible producers of raw agricultural commodities for FY 2003 through 2007.  Total TAA appropriations are not to exceed $90 million annually.  TAA funds are to be provided to eligible producers if increased imports contributed importantly to declines in national average prices of directly competitive domestic products.  This amendment necessitates issuing a regulation to establish a procedure by which: (1) A group of producers may petition for a certificate of eligibility for TAA for a particular commodity and (2) individual producers may apply for TAA benefits.  The regulation provides operational details regarding:  Definitions; eligibility criteria, economic data and documentation to be submitted with a petition and application; filing procedures; certification; payments limitations; allocation of funds; deadlines; notification requirements; and termination provisions.  The procedures and information/data required are essential in ensuring that the Secretary has the best information available on which to base a determination to issue certification of eligibility for TAA and for administering the program consistent with the statute.  The estimated total annual cost of the annual reporting burden of 7,000 hours is $210,000.]]></ABSTRACT>

Under this final rule, exporters are still required to report on a weekly basis information concerning the quantity, country of destination, and marketing period of shipment for their export sales. Information collected is aggregated and included in the weekly "U.S. Export Sales" report published by the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).  In addition, the rule responds to comments on electronic reporting.  Electronic submission, including the use of ASCII comma delimited files, for all reportable commodities is another option given to program participants.

        <RULE_TITLE>Selection of FSA State and County Committees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the regulations to implement the provisions of the 2002 Farm Bill relating to the establishment of FSA county, area, and local committees.  The statute provides that committees shall have from three to five members, that they shall be representative of the producers in the area, and that the term of office shall not exceed 3 years.  It also provides that the Secretary shall solicit nominations from organizations representing the interests of socially disadvantaged groups and, if determined necessary, promulgate uniform guidelines for conducting elections that will ensure fair representation of socially disadvantaged groups.  The Secretary may also ensure inclusion of socially disadvantaged farmers by appointing one additional voting member to a committee.  The rule will provide for election procedures, including nominations, opening of ballots and reporting of results.
Further, the rule will eliminate community committees from the existing regulations.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will seek to clarify language needed to implement the 2002 Farm Bill provisions relating to borrowers who received debt forgiveness and a change in the eligibility requirements for direct farm ownership loans: (1) The legislation provides that borrowers who received debt forgiveness may also be eligible for new direct or guaranteed operating loans if forgiveness resulted from a declared major emergency or natural disaster. However, besides areas designated as natural disasters, low-interest emergency loans are also available in areas under plant or animal quarantines.  This rule will obtain public comments on the types of emergencies or natural disasters to be considered eligible.  (2)  The legislation changes an eligibility requirement for direct farm ownership loans from persons who "operated" a farm to persons who "participated in the operation of" a farm.  This rule will obtain public comments on the meaning of the new term.  The expected cost is minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Service Agency's (FSA's) 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 Service. 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 reengineer 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Conservation Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 three-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>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, discouraging many of them from participation.  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 nonparticipating 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tobacco Marketing Quota, 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 nonauction receiving stations, which are common delivery points for nonauction purchases of flue-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 nonauction 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>Servicing Minor Farm Loan Program Loans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule proposes to consolidate regulations currently shared by FSA and the agencies of the USDA Rural Development mission area and publish a single Farm Service Agency regulation.  The existence of provisions governing these loans in scattered regulations make proper administration difficult.  Information not specific to the Minor Programs will be eliminated, language will be improved for readability, and only regulations pertaining to the FSA Minor Programs will be included.  FSA's minor loan program borrowers, a total of 52 Irrigation and Drainage Loan borrowers and 88 Grazing and Land Shift Loan borrowers, with a total outstanding balance of around $20 million, are the only program participants who will be affected by this proposed rule.  When finalized, the rule will not change the requirements or the effect of the regulations pertaining to FSA Minor Program Loans.  The consolidation of the regulations will enable more efficient use by FSA staff who administer the programs and better service to the customers with these loans.  There will be no additional outlays of Federal funds, no additional staffing and no additional paperwork burden.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2002 Farm Bill Regulations--Assistance for Livestock Producers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary may provide assistance to dairy and other livestock producers to cover economic losses incurred by such producers in connection with the production of livestock.  The assistance may be: (1) Indemnity payments to livestock producers who incur livestock mortality losses; (2) livestock feed assistance to livestock producers affected by shortages of feed; (3) compensation for sudden increases in production costs; and (4) such other assistance, and for such other economic losses, as the Secretary considers appropriate.  Appropriations are necessary before this program can be implemented.  The legislation provides that funding will be appropriated "as may be necessary to carry out" the program.  For comparison, outlays in FY 2001 for the Livestock Assistance, Pasture Recovery, American Indian Livestock Feed and Livestock Indemnity Programs totaled $480 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will implement the 2002 Farm Bill provisions relating to assistance to orchardists who lost trees as a result of a natural disaster. "Natural disaster" means plant disease, insect infestation, drought, fire, freeze, flood, earthquake, lightning, and other occurrence, as determined by the Secretary. Eligible "trees" include trees, bushes, and vines. Eligible losses will be those losses in excess of 15 percent mortality.  Reimbursement will be 75 percent of the cost of re-planting the eligible loss, or at the Secretary's option, sufficient seedlings to replant the stand. Total assistance is limited to $75,000 per person or equivalent value in seedlings, and the total acreage a person can receive payments on is 5,000 acres. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as are necessary to carry out the program. In the last TAP program (1998), net outlays were 20.7 million dollars, and were before there were payment limitations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2003-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 to 23), dark air-cured (types 35 to 36), Virginia sun-cured (type 37), and cigar filler and binder (types 42 to 44 and 53 to 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 to 23), dark air-cured (types 35-36) and sun-cured (type 37) in March 2001.  Cigar filler and binder (types 42 to 44 and 53 to 55) were approved in March 1999.  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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Direct Farm Loan Programs Appraisal Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Farm Service Agency's (FSA) regulations governing real estate and chattel appraisals.  In the loan making process, the rule proposes to allow FSA to obtain appraisals after loan funds become available and the applicant is determined eligible.  Also, the rule proposes to increase the dollar threshold that determines when a real estate appraisal is required.  In loan servicing, the rule proposes to raise the dollar threshold for real estate appraisals in partial release situations, and allow the Agency to release real estate security without appraising the retained real estate in some cases.  All these changes will reduce FSA's appraisal costs and enhance the timeliness of program delivery of certain loan making and servicing actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Outside Storage of Extra Long Staple Loan Cotton</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is amending regulations governing loan eligibility to permit outside storage of extra long staple (ELS) loan cotton by producers at facilities meeting certain requirements.  Current policy requires that cotton must be stored inside a warehouse to be eligible for a loan.  This rule change will reduce storage costs for producers able to meet the technical requirements for outside storage.   These storage savings should enable that cotton to be sold at a more competitive price in domestic and export markets.  ELS cotton loans are nonrecourse marketing assistance loans that are repaid in full based on an interest rate 1 percent above CCC's cost of borrowing.  CCC does not pay any storage or other charges associated with the loan and charges producers a loan-servicing fee.  USDA estimates that there will be no increase in ELS cotton production as a result of this rule, and so no increase in loan forfeitures is foreseen.  However, the quantity of ELS cotton placed under loan may increase by producers that use outside storage.  Thus, some increase in  loan volume and gross loan outlays is estimated, but net loan outlays or forfeitures to CCC are estimated as unchanged.]]></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 work plan 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>

        <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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will implement the 2002 Farm Bill provisions relating to gross income limitations for direct and counter-cyclical payments and marketing loan and loan deficiency payments. The new provisions are effective for 2003 and subsequent crop years. A $2.5 million limitation will be applied to individuals and entities who derive less than 75 percent of their average adjusted income from farming, ranching, or forestry operations, as determined by the Secretary. These individuals or entities will be ineligible to receive direct and counter-cyclical payments, marketing loan gains and loan deficiency payments and certain conservation payments. The 2002 Act does not define "individual," but does define an "entity."  Under the statute an "entity" is a corporation, joint stock company, association, limited partnership, charitable organization, or other similar entity (as determined by the Secretary), including any such entity or organization participating in the farming operation as a partner in a general partnership, a participant in a joint venture, a grantor of a revocable trust, or as a participant in a similar entity (as determined by the Secretary). The gross income limit will result in savings about $23 million for 2002 to 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is promulgating regulations to implement part 3, section 301, paragraph (7), Executive Order 12656.  In this Executive order, the President directed the Secretary of Agriculture to continue to provide the Nation's farmers with production resources in the event of a national security emergency.  In response, USDA designated FSA as the responsible Agency for emergency credit.  This work plan is to implement FSA regulations. FSA has determined it necessary to adequately respond in the event of national security emergencies and provide emergency credit to agriculture producers.  A national security emergency of significant magnitude could cause commercial credit providers to be unable to serve the needs of agriculture to the extent that will ensure the Nation a continued adequate supply of food and fiber.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Crop Insurance Linkage</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is amending its regulations at 7 CFR part 1405 to remove obsolete requirements that crop insurance be obtained in order to be eligible for USDA benefits under some programs.  Section 508(b)(7) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1508(b)(7)) provided that in order to be eligible for payments under the Agricultural Market Transition Act (7 U.S.C. 7201 note) (AMTA) the producer must obtain at least the catastrophic level of insurance for each crop of economic significance in which the producer has an interest or provide a written waiver to the Secretary that waives any eligibility for emergency crop loss assistance in connection with the crop, if insurance is available in the county for the crop.  The AMTA programs, which included production flexibility contracts for wheat, feed grains, and upland cotton, 1996- through 2002-crop loans and loan deficiency payments for grains and similarly handled commodities and cotton, and the Sugar and Peanut Programs, ended September 30, 2002.  The regulations for those programs were contained at 7 CFR parts 1412, 1421, 1427, 1435, 1443, and 1446 and were replaced by regulations for new programs under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 7901 note) (the 2002 Act).  The 2002 Act did not include the requirement that producers obtain crop insurance in order to receive payments under the new programs and the Agency is therefore removing references to those parts from 7 CFR part 1405.  The crop insurance requirements for the Conservation Reserve Program and the Tobacco Program contained in 7 CFR part 1405, will remain.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) proposes to amend its General Administrative Regulations to publish the terms of the Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA) in the Federal Register.  This will improve the integrity of the public/private partnership by avoiding ad hoc changes to important definitions and terms during negotiations involving compensation paid to each insurance provider.  The current SRA has not been published in the Federal Register; therefore, the intent of this proposal is to codify the definitions and terms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this proposed rule is to solicit public comments on FCIC's proposed action to convert the pecan revenue pilot crop insurance program to a permanent insurance program for the 2004 and succeeding crop years.  The pilot was initiated for the 1998 crop year for selected counties in Georgia, New Mexico, and Texas and covered only the improved pecan varieties.  On September 19, 2002, FCIC's Board of Directors voted to expand the pilot pecan program into 79 additional counties in Georgia for the 2003 crop year and to convert the program to a permanent program effective for the 2004 crop year. As a result of the pilot review, several changes were made to the policy as follows:  Changed the cancellation and termination dates, end of insurance date, and sales closing date to better meet the needs of the pecan producer; removed language that prohibited insurance to be provided by written agreement only for counties where the pecan actuarial documents have been filed; and removed language that is a duplication of the Basic Provisions language.]]></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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will implement the provisions of section 6029 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act, which amended the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act by adding "Subtitle H--Rural Business Investment Program."  Section 6029 provides that the Secretary "shall" establish the program and provides mandatory no-year funding out of the Commodity Credit Corporation at a level sufficient to guarantee $280 million of debentures and $44 million in grants.  The purpose of the program is the establishment of equity capital investment in Rural Business Investment Companies and other entities through a combination of grants and guarantees of debentures with the objective of fostering economic development in rural areas.  By law, the program is required to be administered by another Federal agency that has considerable expertise in operating a similar program; the joint Explanatory Statement of the Conference Committee refers to the Small Business Administration (SBA) in this context.  The Rural Business-Cooperative Service is currently working with SBA to develop the program; negotiations are ongoing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Security Emergency</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS) proposes to streamline procedures for loans and grants for existing business and industry direct and guarantee loan programs.  This rulemaking will also establish emergency regulations for the community facilities program currently administered within the Rural Housing Service (RHS).

We are concurrently undertaking to prepare draft emergency legislation to expand both the nature of authorized financial assistance and the eligible applicant pool to assure maximum flexibility on the part of the Secretary in helping to alleviate the economic distress in rural areas when a national security emergency is declared.  In the event this standby legislation is enacted, the scope of this rulemaking will be modified accordingly.

The proposed rule will include the following changes to current procedures for existing programs:

--The proposed rule will provide that the Agency may waive credit requirements that would otherwise apply to processing direct loans and guarantees.

--The proposed rule will provide that the Agency may substitute a "best efforts" test in allowing substitutions for application requirements.  For example, if credit history documentation has been destroyed or is not available, an affidavit from a creditor familiar with the borrower's payment history prior to the emergency might suffice.  

--We anticipate that environmental review requirements will be streamlined--most notably in the areas of public notice and comment periods.  

--We will substitute "to the best of my knowledge" certifications for firm documentation requirements where reasonable and appropriate.

--We will provide exceptions to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act that allow flexibility to USDA in the form and nature of information collections allowed under emergency conditions.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Executive Order 12656 directs the Secretary of Agriculture to develop plans to provide for the continuation of agricultural production, food processing, storage, and distribution through the wholesale level in national security emergencies and to provide for the domestic distribution of seed, feed, fertilizer, and farm equipment to agricultural producers.

In section 14(a) of USDA Departmental Regulation 1800-1 (Departmental Emergency Programs Responsibilities), the Secretary provides that RBS will, in cooperation with other government agencies at all levels: Promote economic development in affected rural areas by developing strategies that respond to the conditions created by an emergency; provide financial aid for needed community facilities; and provide business development assistance.

Absent supplemental legislation, if an emergency occurs, the financial resources that RBS will be able to deploy (expedited or not) will be a function of remaining appropriation levels across a spectrum of stove-piped program authorizations--where the types of assistance, eligible borrowers and eligible purposes must all be administered in accordance with different requirements.  The best an emergency regulation can do under those circumstances is provide for expedited deployment of these remaining financial resources.

The intent and expectation is that the rulemaking will ultimately reflect supplemental legislation that accords maximum discretion to the Secretary in alleviating the capital needs of businesses in rural areas created by the emergency.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 323 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act [9 U.S.C. 1963] (Con Act) provides for direct or insured emergency loans for any purpose already authorized under subtitles A or B of the Con Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In the case of a national security emergency, without this rulemaking, RBS would strive to execute the current programs within the then remaining appropriation levels as expeditiously as possible.

As discussed above, we expect to pursue standby legislation that will provide authorization for both grant and loan authority, a broad spectrum of eligible purposes and applicants, and include appropriations as well.  This standby legislation would be effective as and when a national security emergency were declared and pertain only to the geographic areas affected.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Absent standby emergency legislation that augments existing program budget authority, there is no incremental budget impact presented by this rulemaking.  This regulation will only be effective upon the declaration of a National Security Emergency as contemplated by Executive Order 12656.

The streamlining of some processing requirements will facilitate faster deployment of RBS program funds, and in the case of RHS, the remaining available appropriations for essential community facilities.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The greatest risk associated with streamlined processing and waivers of credit evaluation criteria is that of nonperforming loans resulting from this emergency regulation that otherwise would not have been made in the first place.  The historic experience of RBS in the case of several natural disasters, however, is that the loan portfolios made under challenging conditions have actually out-performed the rest of the portfolio.  It is not possible to know how future emergency loan performance will compare with the rest of the loan portfolio exposure.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rulemaking amends 7 CFR parts 4279 and 1980 by modifying the equity requirement considered in the underwriting of business and industry loans by guaranteed lenders and/or the Rural Business-Cooperative Service as follows:

-  In the case of direct or guaranteed refinancing loans only, apply an adjusted equity requirement, where tangible net equity is modified by (i) including asset value to the extent of the difference between the depreciated book value of real property assets and current market value supported by an independent appraisal, or the original loan amount, whichever is less and (ii) family capital subordinated debt, where the subordinated debt is held by and represents a cash infusion to the business by the owner or close family member, and the repayment terms are such that repayment is not ahead of Agency direct and/or guaranteed loan exposure. 

-  Increase the equity requirement for energy loans to 40 percent for existing businesses (in existence for three years) and 50 percent for new businesses.  Construction financing is not an eligible energy loan purpose; energy project that produce biomass fuel, biogas, fuel cells or batteries as an output must have completed two operating cycles at design performance levels acceptable to the Agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Act directs that in funding such projects, USDA direct and guaranteed loans and grant financing is not to exceed 50 percent of the cost of the activity, and grant-only funding is not to exceed 25 percent of the cost of the activity.  For 5 years, beginning in FY 2003, the Commodity Credit Corporation is to provide $23 million in budget authority annually for these purposes.  Since this is a new program, guidelines need to be established concerning the nature of the program and the delivery model to be used, so that a full set of implementation policies can be developed.

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>Rural Business Enterprise Grant Program--Farm Bill Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[President Bush signed the Farm Bill May 13, 2002, changing the definition of rural and rural area in the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act for certain programs including the Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) program.  The definition now reads "any area other than a city or town that has a population of greater than 50,000 inhabitants and the urbanized area contiguous and adjacent to such as a city or town." The previous definition of rural and rural area was "any area that is not within the outer boundary of any city having a population of 50,000 or more and its immediately adjacent urbanized and urbanizing areas with a population density of more than 100 persons per square mile."  Therefore, the RBEG program, which is authorized under the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, must be changed to reflect the current definition.

The Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act also amended the definition of small and emerging private business enterprise to include nonprofit entities and other tax exempt organizations who have a principal office located on land of an existing or former Native American reservation in a city, town, or unincorporated area that has a population of not more than 5,000 inhabitants as an eligible small and emerging business regardless of the number of employees or operating capital of the enterprise.]]></ABSTRACT>

It also allows the Agency to require specialized appraisals for the B&I program.  Section 6019 requires the Agency to provide a short, simplified application form for guarantees of $400,000 or less initially.  7 CFR part 4279, subpart B, must be changed to incorporate these provisions of the statute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 338(b)(2)(A) of the CONACT authorizes the Secretary, either directly or through a market maker, to issue pool certificates representing ownership of part or all of the guaranteed portion of any loan guaranteed by the Secretary for certain guaranteed programs.

The sale of Government guaranteed loan portions to investors in the secondary market increases earnings, liquidity, and the capital available to lenders.  Lenders in the Small Business Administration (SBA) 7(a) loan program are selling loans by using an SBA-approved Fiscal Transfer Agent (FTA) that pools and markets loans on the secondary  market.  Rural Development seeks to use Section 338(b)(2)(A) of the CONACT to provide the same service to lenders.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guarantees for Bonds and Notes Issued for Electrification Purposes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Farm Bill) amends the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 to include section 313A:  Guarantees For Bonds And Notes Issued For Electrification Or Telephone Purposes. The Farm Bill became law on May 13, 2002, and requires the Secretary of Agriculture to promulgate regulations that carry out the amendments within 180 days. Furthermore, the implementation of the amendments shall take effect no later than 240 days.

The new section 313A:  Guarantees for Bonds And Notes Issued For Electrification Or Telephone Purposes, states that the Secretary shall guarantee payments on bonds or notes issued by cooperative or other lenders organized on a not-for-profit basis. Section 313A provides limits to the amount of guarantees, the purpose for the guarantee, and qualifications of eligible lenders seeking a guarantee of a bond or note. The section also provides for a fee to be charged to lenders that receive a guarantee under section 313A, which will be deposited in the Rural Economic Development Subaccount.

The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is proposing the development of rules that carry out the amendments made by section 313A. The rules will establish regulations that allow the Secretary to comply with the requirements outlined and set the limitations provided for in the Farm Bill.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Civil Rights Compliance Requirements--1901-E to 1940-D</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency intends to publish a proposed rule to 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 exists due to noncompliance with recently enacted Civil Rights legislation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service (RHS) 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>

These changes are essential to allow for improved service to the public and for an expanded program with increased impact on rural housing opportunities without a corresponding expansion in Agency staff. The regulations will be shorter, better organized, and more simple and clear. Many documentation requirements will be eliminated or consolidated into more convenient formats.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The existing statutory authority for the MFH programs was established in title V of the Housing Act of 1949, which gave authority to the RHS (then the Farmers Home Administration) to make housing loans to farmers. As a result of this Act, the Agency established single-family and multifamily housing programs.  Over time, the sections of the Housing Act of 1949 addressing MFH have been amended a number of times. Amendments have involved issues such as the provision of interest credit, broadening definitions of eligible areas and populations to be served, participation of limited profit entities, the establishment of a rental assistance program, and the imposition of a number of restrictive use provisions and prepayment restrictions.

The MFH program, as it exists today, began in the 1960s. Its first loans were primarily for small rental projects. In the mid-sixties, the program expanded and changed from making small rural rental housing loans to individuals to making larger loans to organizations, such as limited partnerships. Regulations for the program have been amended several times over the years to reflect statutory changes and to revise the Agency's procedures for administering the program. The most recent significant regulatory revisions took place after the Appropriations Act of 1997 directed the Agency to implement six reforms to the MFH program. This was accomplished with the publication of a final rule for the reforms on December 23, 1997. Reforms addressed such items as equity skimming, review of other Government assistance, the maximum loan terms, and the use of a Notice of Funding Availability and competitive process to award funds for new projects.

Statistics show that the MFH program fills a significant need for rural Americans. Two primary types of households occupy RHS-financed, section 515 rental housing--elderly households who have decided that they prefer renting over continued ownership of their own dwellings and younger female and male headed households that do not have sufficient resources available to purchase their own home. Additionally, the sections 514/516 Farm Labor Housing loan and grant programs are the only Federal programs available for the provision of housing to farmworkers, one of the most chronically underhoused populations within America.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The proposed rule is important to all program participants, beneficiaries, and agency staff. Funding for rehabilitation, preservation, and future new construction is being addressed through the budget process.  To not publish the rule would  substantially restrict RHS' ability to effectively administer the programs and cost the Agency significant credibility with the public and oversight organizations.

Current regulations include standards for physical condition, maintenance, and reserve levels to address the physical condition of the property. However, projects are experiencing physical maintenance problems due to their average age. One of the sources of this problem is that project reserves are inadequate to cover ongoing capital needs. Current regulations require that borrowers contribute initially 1 percent annually of total development costs toward a reserve for project improvements until a total of 10 percent is reached. While borrowers are permitted to request adjustments to their reserve contributions, there is no systematic provision for reevaluating reserves over the life of the project. A recent study found that while an average MFH project has accumulated $5,000 in reserves per unit at the end of 10 years and maintained at that level thereafter, the full cost of rehabilitation is likely to be close to $16,000 per unit. When rehabilitation is needed and the reserve is inadequate to meet the need, the project owner usually applies for a subsequent loan, which, if received, requires that rents be increased. In recent years, RHS has been experiencing a growing number of requests for subsequent loans and rent increases to cover costs of rehabilitation, while funding for such loans has been limited. 

RHS is taking several steps to link reserve levels more closely to projects' capital needs. The proposed rule allows a life cycle costs analysis to be used to establish the initial reserve amount needed to meet the capital needs for new projects. For existing projects, the proposed rule requires that any servicing action that involves additional agency funds must take into account physical needs of the project, based on a capital needs assessment. The proposed rule also allows borrowers with existing projects to include the cost of capital needs assessments in their budgets, which is expected to focus attention on the use of such assessments.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Based on analysis of the proposed rule, the following impacts may occur, some of which could be considered significant:

There would be cost savings due to reduced paperwork, estimated to be about $1.8 million annually for the public and about $10.1 million for the Government.

Rents for about half the 459,000 units in MFH projects would likely be increased by an average of about $15 per month. This estimate combines the impacts on rents of two different changes--an increase in reserve requirements for project improvements from $5,000 to $10,000 per unit and a change in RHS' policies relating to the investment of funds in reserves accounts. The latter change is expected to increase interest earnings on reserve accounts from 2 percent currently earned to 6 percent, with 25 percent of the earnings becoming eligible to be taken out of the accounts for owners to pay taxes and the rest remaining for improvements.

Government costs for rental assistance payments would increase by at least $23 million annually, and those for section 8 project-based assistance would increase by about $4 million annually.

Tenants of an estimated 79,500 units, about half the 159,000 units that do not receive rental assistance payments or similar assistance from HUD, would have to pay higher rents of about 5 percent. This amounts to an annual cost of about $14 million for these tenants. Most of these tenants are expected to remain in the projects because rents would remain competitive.

Increasing the reserve requirements would provide additional funds for improving projects. However, the full impact of this change is not expected to be reached until 10 years after it is implemented. Thus, projects that are in need of immediate rehabilitation will likely remain short of adequate funds for making needed improvements in the near term. 

Project owners who have or soon will meet the 20-year restriction on the use of their projects for low-income housing will have a clearer picture of RHS' policies in trying to maintain these projects in the program.  In particular, establishment of a 15-month limit on waiting for incentives to be offered to them to stay in a program should help them make decisions on either staying in the program or prepaying their loans and possibly converting the projects to other uses.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risk associated with this regulatory initiative is that some program participants may be faced with increased replacement reserve requirements without sufficient cashflow in the property to make the deposits. The Agency believes that the need to adequately address project physical replacement needs offsets this risk. The Agency also believes that for the three-quarters of the properties that have deep tenant subsidies, this impact will be mitigated as rents can be increased in those situations without impacting the affordability of the units to eligible program beneficiaries.

The primary risk to the Agency is if the proposed rule is not implemented. Without the streamlining, program improvements and focus on current industry practices, including the increased use of third-party funds to rehabilitate program properties that are included in the regulation, the underlying assets for the loans and grants made under the programs will deteriorate as the properties age. This will cause a decrease in the ability of the Agency to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing to program beneficiaries.

The loans made to recipients will become undersecured as the properties' values decrease. Lastly, there will be a greater propensity of borrowers to elect to either default on their loans or to pay off loans and remove their properties from the stock of affordable housing.]]></RISKS>

Section 516 of the Act authorizes USDA to make grants for the same purpose.  These authorities are implemented through 7 CFR part 1944, subpart D.  Section 516 also authorizes USDA to provide financial assistance to private and public nonprofit agencies to encourage the development of farm labor housing.

        <RULE_TITLE>Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program--Secondary Mortgage Market Participation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 538 of title V of the Housing Act of 1949 authorizes USDA to make commitments to guarantee loans for the development of housing and related facilities.  By this authority, the Rural Housing Service (RHS) administers the Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program.  The RHS, through consultation with industry and government experts in the loan guarantee field, has identified barriers to the success of the program.  In the case of default, regulations will be revised to allow for a timely payment to the investor.  In addition, lenders will be allowed to submit a claim for "estimated" losses.  The RHS also intends to lower the annual guarantee fee from 50 to 25 basis points.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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-Cooperative Service (RBS); to include changes necessitated by amendments to various environmental laws, Executive orders, and regulations applicable to the two agencies; to clarify wording; to 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[USDA intends that CSP will recognize those farmers and ranchers, the land stewards, who meet the highest standards of conservation and environmental management.  By managing all of the natural resources on their farms and ranches in a sustainable fashion to these high standards, stewards of the land benefit themselves, their communities, and society as a whole.  CSP can be an important tool for those stewards and others who strive towards the highest standards of conservation and environmental management.  CSP helps sustain the economic well-being of those farmers and ranchers who reach this pinnacle of good land stewardship and enhance the ongoing production of clean water and clean air on their farms and ranches, which are valuable commodities to all Americans.
  
The fundamental philosophy and intent of CSP is to support ongoing conservation stewardship of working agricultural lands by providing payments and assistance to producers to maintain and enhance the condition of the resources.  To implement the Secretary's vision, the program will reward owners and operators of agricultural lands for their conservation stewardship efforts and assist them with the implementation and maintenance of additional conservation measures that can improve the natural resource conditions of their agriculture operations.  CSP particularly targets producers and activities that can provide the greatest additional benefits for the resource concerns identified in this rule and in CSP signup announcements.  NRCS is additionally encouraging those who do not meet the sign-up requirements for CSP to initiate a review of the natural resource conditions on their land and begin or continue moving toward achieving the minimum conservation requirements to enter CSP at a later signup.  Other USDA programs may be available for technical or financial assistance to help them achieve their resource management goals.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-171, May 13, 2002) (the Act) amended the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.) to authorize the Conservation Security Program (CSP).  The program is administered by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The CSP is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to producers who advance the conservation and improvement of soil, water, air, energy, plant, and animal life and other conservation purposes on tribal and private working lands.  Such lands include cropland, grassland, prairie land, improved pasture, and range land, as well as forested land and other non-cropped areas that are an incidental part of the agriculture operation. 

As originally enacted, the Conservation Security Program was an entitlement program where many producers would have received payments if they were eligible.  Subsequent to the enactment of the 2002 Act, the Omnibus Bill of 2003 amended the Act to limit CSP's total expenditures to a total of $3.77 billion over 11 years (fiscal year 2003 through fiscal year 2013). When developing the regulations to implement CSP, USDA confronted several challenges.  The greatest challenge, however, was to design a new conservation entitlement program with a cap on its total expenditures over multiple years. Statute did not provide direction as to how the Secretary should implement a broad entitlement program with the statutory fiscal constraints.

The limits imposed by the budget cap greatly reduce the potential scope of the program.  For example, USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) estimates that over 1.8 million farms and ranches may be eligible for CSP, using the land eligibility criteria found in the authorizing legislation.  If all of these agricultural operations were enrolled, the cost of the program would exceed the $3.77 billion cap potentially in the first sign-up.  In contract, NRCS estimates that the budget cap would allow less than 50,000 total agricultural operations to participate over the life of the program.  Estimates derived from a variety of analyses indicate that the average Tier III contract, based on nationally averaged data, could be near $15,000 per year.  If contracts were an average of 7 years in duration, the statutory funding could support an estimated 30,000 Tier III contracts.  The average Tier I and Tier II contracts could be near $7,000 annually.  If contracts were to average 5 years in duration, the statutory funding could support an estimated 90,000 Tier I and II contracts.

Furthermore, NRCS expects that a large number of producers will seek participation in CSP and ask for assistance to determine their potential eligibility for the program. Thus the statutory cap on technical assistance of 15 percent becomes another limiting factor for implementing CSP. By law, NRCS cannot incur technical assistance costs for NRCS employees or approved technical assistance providers in excess of 15 percent of the available funds.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[NRCS Preferred Approach:

1.  Limit sign-ups: Conduct periodic CSP sign-ups. 
2.  Eligibility: Criteria should be sufficiently rigorous to ensure that participants are committed to conservation stewardship.  Additionally, eligibility criteria should ensure that the most pressing resource concerns are addressed.  
3.  Contracts requirements should be sufficiently rigorous to ensure that participants undertake and maintain high levels of stewardship.
4.  Prioritize funding to ensure that those producers with the highest commitment to conservation are funded first.
5.  Structure payments to ensure that environmental benefits will be achieved.

Alternative Approaches:

1.  Prioritize funding based on environmental considerations (e.g., high priority watersheds) with consideration given to past historical conservation.  
2.  Apportion the limited budget according to a formula of some kind, for example by discounting each participant's contract payments equally (i.e., prorate payments).
3.  Close signup once available fund are exhausted (i.e., first come, first served).
4.  Limit the number of tiers of participation offered.
5.  Only allow historic stewards to participate--only those who have already completed the highest conservation achievement would be funded.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[NRCS developed a simulation model to analyze CSP benefits and costs.  The model assesses producer participation and the overall benefits and costs to society associated with that participation.  The model is based on a series of composite farms, replicating the process of calculating the CSP participation decision.  Given farm-level estimates of participation, enrolled acreage, payments, and costs, the model estimates on-site and environmental (off-site) benefits, net economic costs, Government costs, Government-to-producer transfer payments, net benefit to society, and the benefit-cost ratio.

The model calculates the overall CSP payment by calculating several payment components individually, and then by summing the results of: The base payment, cost-sharing for installation of new structural practices and adoption of new land management practices, cost-sharing for maintenance of existing structural and land management practices, and enhancement payments.  The Net Present Value (NPV) of each payment is determined by a payment rate per acre, the number of acres to which the payment applies, contract years in which the payment is made (i.e., whether the payment is made on a one-time or annual basis), discounted to the present using a 7 percent annual discount rate.  Payments for structural and land management practices were calculated using a methodology similar to that used for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) Benefit/Cost Analysis, Final Report, May 29, 2003.

Although the analysis provides estimates of the social net benefits of each alternative examined, its primary value is to illustrate the relative order of the identified alternatives, rather than provide accurate estimates of the costs and benefits.  NRCS based its estimates on a number of assumptions because of substantial data gaps.  There is, for example, no available information on the benefits associated with major program elements, such as enhancement activities above and beyond the non-degradation level.  Instead, the RIA used estimates generated from experience with EQIP, CRP, and other USDA conservation programs.  NRCS also assumes that producers would enroll in CSP if the program provided any positive net benefit to them (i.e., even as small as $1).  This assumption does not take into consideration producers' cash flow constraints, which along with other factors could affect participation.  Since the analysis does not have information on the behavioral response of producers to the incentives provided by CSP, the benefits analysis provided in the RIA is largely a hypothetical construct and does not reflect the benefits of the proposed program and the identified alternatives.  NRCS intends to refine the analysis for the final rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Third Party Vendor assistance will allow producers to obtain technical services from the department or entities by a certification process.  This process will distinguish between certification of an individual working under his or her own auspices and that of an organization such as a corporation or a public agency which has individuals working on its behalf.  Certification of an individual means the individual has the requisite education and technical expertise to perform the technical services.  Certification of an entity or public agency means that the organization may receive payment for the services provided by individuals working under its auspices, but the work must be performed or warranted by certified individuals and the organization must assume the liability for the quality of work performed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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-dolphin 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>

            <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. This project includes an interim rule to establish indemnity for voluntary depopulation of CWD-affected herds, followed by rulemaking to establish a voluntary certification program and interstate movement restrictions on captive elk and deer. APHIS believes that establishing restrictions on the interstate movement of infected and exposed farmed elk and deer, coupled with the payment of some level of indemnity for infected and exposed animals, will encourage producers who are not yet engaging in surveillance activities to begin doing so. To date, the level of support from States and the farmed cervid industry for such a program has been high. Without a Federal program in place to depopulate infected and exposed animals, the movement of infected animals 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 other Federal agencies, States or political subdivisions of States, national governments of foreign countries, local governments of foreign countries, domestic or international organizations, domestic or international associations, Indian tribes, and other persons, may carry out operations and measures to detect, control, or eradicate any pest or disease of livestock of the United States, including the payment of claims arising out of the destruction of any animal, article, or means of conveyance, if necessary to prevent the dissemination of the pest or disease of livestock (7 U.S.C. 8305 to 8306, 8308, 8310, and 8315).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[APHIS has identified two additional alternatives to our selected action. 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 cervid 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, 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 and deer 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. Fear of CWD can severely affect the domestic prices for deer and elk, as it is more difficult for producers to sell cervid that are associated with any hint of exposure to the disease.]]></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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[BSE is a progressive neurological disorder of cattle that results from infection by an unconventional transmissible agent and is not known to exist in the United States. It appears that BSE is spread primarily through the use of ruminant feed containing protein and other products from ruminants infected with BSE. The regulations in 9 CFR parts 93, 94, 95, and 96 have prohibited the importation of live ruminants and certain ruminant products and byproducts from two categories of regions:  Those regions in which BSE is known to exist, and those regions that present an undue risk of introducing BSE into the United States because their import requirements are less restrictive than those that would be acceptable for import into the United States and/or because the regions have inadequate surveillance. Based on a review of the risk presented by regions in which a BSE-affected animal has been diagnosed, but in which precautionary measures have been taken that reduce the risk of BSE being introduced into the United States by imports from such regions, we are developing a rule that would recognize an additional category of regions--the BSE minimal-risk region. The rule would allow the importation of certain live ruminants and ruminant products and byproducts from minimal risk regions under certain conditions and would designate Canada as a minimal-risk region. This action is based on our assessment that the rule would continue to protect against the introduction of BSE into the United States while removing unnecessary prohibitions on certain commodities from Canada and other regions that qualify as BSE minimal-risk regions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 to 8317) provides that regulation of animals and other articles by the Secretary of Agriculture is necessary to prevent and eliminate burdens on interstate and foreign commerce; to effectively regulate interstate commerce and foreign commerce; and to protect the agriculture, environment, economy, and health and welfare of the people of the United States.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Alternatives to this rulemaking would be to continue to prohibit certain ruminants and ruminant products from entering from Canada or to allow these commodities to enter under less restrictive conditions than are being considered. To continue to prohibit these imports from Canada, when feasible precautionary measures are available, would be contrary to trade policies called for in the World Trade Organization's "Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures."  On the other hand, importations without appropriate mitigation measures would subject the United States to an unacceptable risk of BSE introduction. APHIS is committed to ensuring that the ruminant populations of the United States are fully protected from the introduction of BSE and believes that this rule is a balanced, science-based response to the detection of BSE in Canada, given Canada's actions since detection of the disease and the rule's inclusion of appropriate risk mitigation requirements.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[On August 8, 2003, the Secretary announced that certain ruminant-derived products would be allowed to enter the United States from Canada under permit.  Several of the items included in the announcement are also covered by this rulemaking. The most important one is boneless beef from cattle less than 30 months of age. APHIS has analyzed the potential effects of the importation of commodities covered by the rule, including ones, such as boneless beef, that could be imported under permit on or after August 8, 2003, by comparing U.S. markets with and without these imports from Canada. Slaughter cattle, feeder cattle, and beef would be the main commodities affected by reinstatement of the importation of ruminant and ruminant products from Canada. In the near term, the additional supplies would cause prices to fall. Percentage price declines indicated by the results of the analyses for slaughter, cattle, feeder cattle, and beef suggest that near-term effects on affected entities would not be significant. The price declines would be accompanied by an increase in the number of cattle slaughtered and a decrease in the number of slaughtered cattle supplied by U.S. entities. These changes translate into a positive net benefit in the near term. It is emphasized that the estimated effects would be near term, occurring during the first year or so following the reestablishment of imports. In the longer term, production and marketing adjustments by U.S. and Canadian firms, and those in other countries in response to changed market conditions, would create new price-quantity equilibriums. Also, if other countries do not accept the age restrictions and other precautionary measures as adequate safeguards, U.S. exports of those commodities could be affected.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[On May 20, 2003, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency reported a case of BSE in a beef cow in northern Alberta. To prevent the introduction of BSE into the United States, APHIS published an interim rule on May 29, 2003 (68 FR 31939-31940, Docket No. 03-058-1), effective retroactively to May 20, 2003, to add Canada to the list of regions where BSE exists. As a result of that action, the importation of ruminants that have been in Canada and the importation of meat, meat products, and certain other products and byproducts of ruminants that have been in Canada are prohibited or restricted. This rulemaking would relieve restrictions on the importation of ruminants and ruminant products and byproducts from Canada by establishing Canada as a BSE minimal-risk region based on an analysis of the conditions considered for such a designation and the information available regarding how Canada meets those conditions. The risk document, "Risk Analysis:  BSE Risk From Importation of Designated Ruminants and Ruminant Products From Canada Into the United States, September 5, 2003," also identifies the measures that APHIS believes are necessary to mitigate any BSE risk that specific commodities imported from Canada might present to the United States.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would add restrictions on the importation of pine and fir logs and lumber, as well as other unmanufactured wood articles, from Mexico. These wood articles from Mexico would have to meet certain treatment and handling requirements to be eligible for importation into the United States. We believe this action is necessary to prevent the introduction into the United States of dangerous plant pests, including forest pests, with unmanufactured wood articles from Mexico.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Blood and Tissue Collection at 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bees and Related Articles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise the regulations for the importation of honeybees and honeybee semen. Among other things, it would allow, under certain conditions, the importation into the United States of honeybees from Australia and honeybees and honeybee germ plasm from New Zealand. It also would make these regulations more consistent with standards established by the Office International des Epizooties, update them to reflect current research and terminology, and simplify them and make them more useful.

In addition, the rule would 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>

The purpose of this rule is to remove possible sources of delay in eradicating foot-and-mouth disease, should an occurrence of that disease occur in this country, so that eligible claimants will be fully compensated while at the same time protecting the U.S. livestock population from the further spread of this highly contagious disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[APHIS has reviewed these regulations to determine their sufficiency, should an occurrence of foot-and-mouth disease occur in the United States. This review was prompted, in part, by a series of outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease that occurred 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 other Federal agencies, States or political subdivisions of States, national governments of foreign countries, local governments of foreign countries, domestic or international organizations, domestic or international associations, Indian tribes, and other persons, may carry out operations and measures to detect, control, or eradicate any pest or disease of livestock that threatens the livestock of the United States, including the payment of claims arising out of the destruction of any animal, article, or means of conveyance, if necessary to prevent the dissemination of the pest or disease of livestock (7 U.S.C. 8306, 8308, 8310, and 8315).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The rule comprises 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 rule would be to not make any changes at all and rely on the current regulations as applied to cooperative programs and extraordinary emergencies.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The 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 characteristics of the outbreak and mitigation strategy. The proposed changes would strengthen programs for the control and eradication of FMD by broadening USDA's options. The changes would also lessen the chances that FMD's eradication would be delayed.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The changes contained in the rule would be particularly important in removing sources of delay in achieving FMD eradication, 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the regulations regarding the control and eradication of certain communicable diseases of livestock or poultry to provide for the payment of indemnity to producers in the State of Maine for fish destroyed due to infectious salmon anemia. Because depopulation is necessary to control infectious salmon anemia, a successful control program will provide for indemnification of depopulated fish to gain producer support. This action will, therefore, increase the effectiveness of our efforts to control infectious salmon anemia in Maine and prevent further outbreaks of the disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Animal Welfare; Policy on Training and Handling of Potentially Dangerous Animals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS's Animal Welfare Act regulations require exhibitors and other regulated entities that handle potentially dangerous animals to provide a sufficient number of adequately trained personnel to handle and care for the animals and to provide adequate protection from risk for the general public when animals are exhibited.  

APHIS sought comment on a policy statement to provide guidance to exhibitors and other regulated entities for the training and handling of potentially dangerous animals, adequate experience and training of trainers, handlers, and attendants, and points to consider when developing emergency contingency plans. After reviewing the comments received and considering alternative ways to provide guidance and promote compliance with the regulations, APHIS has decided not to proceed with a final policy statement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the brucellosis indemnity regulations to allow us to pay indemnity for sheep, goats, and horses destroyed because of brucellosis. This action would make it easier to eliminate affected herds/flocks and infected animals as sources of infection by encouraging herd and flock owners to cooperate with our brucellosis eradication program. This action is intended to help reduce the incidence of brucellosis and the likelihood of it spreading within the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 212 of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Response Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-188) requires the Secretary of Agriculture to establish regulations for the possession, use, and transfer of biological agents and toxins that she determines have the potential to pose a severe threat to animal or plant health or to animal or plant products. Among other things, the Act requires the regulations to require registration with the Secretary and include appropriate safeguard and security measures, including database checks by the Attorney General of individuals and facilities seeking to register with the Secretary.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The President signed into law the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 on June 12, 2002.  Title II of Public Law 107-188 "Enhancing Controls on Dangerous Biological Agents and Toxins" (sections 201 through 231) provides for the regulation of certain biological agents and toxins by the Department of Health and Human Services (subtitle A, sections 201 to 204) and the Department of Agriculture (subtitle B, sections 211 to 213) and provides for interagency coordination between the two departments regarding overlap agents and toxins (subtitle C, section 221).  Subtitle D (section 231) provides for criminal penalties regarding certain biological agents and toxins.  For the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been designated as the agency with primary responsibility for implementing the provisions of the Act; the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is the agency fulfilling that role for the Department of Agriculture.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[APHIS' Veterinary Services and Plant Protection and Quarantine programs have had regulations in place for some years that require prior authorization from APHIS for the importation or interstate movement of certain animal disease agents and plant pests. Those regulations further require that appropriate safeguards be applied to the handling and containment of those animal disease agents and plant pests.  While the biological agents and toxins that the Secretary has determined have the potential to pose a severe threat to animal or plant health or to animal or plant products have historically fallen within the scope of the existing regulations, those regulations do not contain the individual/facility registration requirements, physical security, and other considerations that the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Response Act of 2002 requires the Agency to address.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[While the costs associated with this rule could be considerable, some of those impacts are somewhat offset by previous requirements, funding from other sources for upgrades that would otherwise be mandated by this rule, and flexibility in the rules that allow for site-specific needs to be met in the most cost-effective manner possible.  In addition, these costs are greatly outweighed by the benefits of preventing a deliberate introduction of a listed agent or toxin into the United States.  Should any listed agent or toxin be intentionally introduced, the consequences would be significant as is demonstrated by natural outbreaks that have occurred.  Consequences could include costs of eradiation efforts, disruption of markets, difficulties in sustaining an adequate food and fiber supply, and the potential spread of disease infestations over large areas.  Deliberate introduction greatly increases the probability of an agent or toxin becoming established and causing wide-ranging and devastating impacts on the economy, disruption to society, diminished confidence in public and private institutions, and possible loss of life.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The regulations include safeguard and security requirements for persons possessing, using, or transferring a listed agent or toxin commensurate with the risk such agent or toxin poses to public health and safety (including the risk of use in domestic or international terrorism).]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Solid Wood Packing Material; Adoption of International Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the regulations for the importation of unmanufactured wood articles to adopt an international standard entitled "Guidelines for Regulating Wood Packaging Material in International Trade" that was approved by the Interim Commission on Phytosanitary Measures of the International Plant Protection Convention on March 15, 2002. The standard calls for wood packaging material to be either heat treated or fumigated with methyl bromide, in accordance with the Guidelines, and marked with an approved international mark certifying treatment. The rule would adopt the IPPC Guidelines because recent analyses of pest interceptions at ports show an increase in pests associated with certain wood packaging material. This increase in pests was found in wood packaging material that does not meet the IPPC Guidelines' (e.g., wood packaging material from everywhere except China, which must already be treated due to past pest interceptions). There has been a decrease in pests associated with wood packaging material from China, however, since we began requiring that material be treated prior to importation. This change would affect all persons using wood packaging material in connection with importing goods into the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document gives notice that we intend to begin consistently and routinely applying the standards in the Animal Welfare Act regulations for the humane transportation of animals in commerce to international carriers operating with the United States, its territories, possessions, or the District of Columbia. While these standards have been enforced on domestic carriers, international carriers, for the most part, have not been held to the same requirements, and there have been instances of foreign carriers arriving in the United States with sick, dying, or dead animals, possibly as a result of improper handling or transportation conditions. This action will ensure that any animal covered by the Animal Welfare Act, whether coming into, traveling from point to point in, or leaving the United States, its territories, possessions, or the District of Columbia, will be provided the protection of the Animal Welfare Act while in transportation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Animal Welfare; Definition of Animal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) regulations to reflect an amendment to the Act's definition of the term animal. The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 amended the definition of animal to specifically exclude birds, rats of the genus Rattus, and mice of the genus Mus bred for use in research. While the definition of animal in the regulations excludes rats of the genus Rattus and mice of the genus Mus bred for use in research, that definition also excludes all birds (i.e., not just those bred for use in research). To make the definition of animal in the regulations consistent with the definition of animal in the AWA, this final rule amends the regulations by narrowing of the scope of the exclusion for birds to only those birds bred for use in research. This final rule is intended only to make the definition of animal in the regulations consistent with the definition of animal in the AWA. We do not intend to immediately begin regulating birds not bred for use in research as a result of this action.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule prohibits, with limited exceptions, the importation of certain animal materials and their derivatives, and any products they are used in, from regions considered to present an unacceptable risk of introducing bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) into the United States. 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>Gypsy Moth; Interstate Movement of Regulated Articles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the gypsy moth regulations by removing restrictions on the interstate movement of wood chips, which do not pose a risk of containing gypsy moth egg masses, and by adding restrictions on the movement and importation of bark and bark products, which pose a risk of containing gypsy moth egg masses. In addition, the rule would extend by 2 months the period during which regulated articles originating outside of any generally infested area must be safeguarded from infestation in order to be eligible for interstate movement directly through any generally infested area without a certificate or permit. These changes are necessary to update the provisions in the regulations to ensure consistent actions by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, our cooperators, and industry in order to limit the artificial spread of gypsy moth.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Unmanufactured Wood Articles; 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>Salmonella Enteritidis Phage-Type 4; Remove Import Restrictions and Salmonella Enteritidis Serotype Enteritidis; Remove Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would 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 action would eliminate restrictions on the importation of eggs from regions where Salmonella enteritidis phage-type 4 exists. This rule would also remove our domestic regulations regarding poultry disease caused by Salmonella enteritidis serotype enteritidis. These regulations are no longer enforced.]]></ABSTRACT>

Under these regulations, importation of wheat and related items from a number of countries and localities is currently prohibited to prevent the introduction of foreign strains of flag smut into the United States. We are considering easing restrictions on the importation of wheat and related articles from these countries and localities based on a recent risk assessment. After evaluating public comment on the issues presented in this document, we will determine whether to propose changes to our regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Agricultural Inspection and AI User Fees Along the U.S./Canada Border</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending the foreign quarantine and user fee regulations by removing the exemptions from inspection for agricultural products imported from Canada and the exemptions from user fees for commercial vessels, commercial trucks, commercial railroad cars, commercial aircraft, and international passengers entering the United States from Canada. As a result of this action, agricultural products imported from Canada will be subject to inspection, and the commercial conveyances in which they are moved, as well as airline passengers arriving on flights from Canada, will be subject to inspection user fees. We are taking this action because recent inspections along the U.S./Canada border resulted in numerous interceptions of prohibited regulated material that originated in regions other than Canada that presents a high risk of introducing plant pests or animal diseases into the United States. This action is necessary to prevent the introduction of plant pests and animal diseases through unauthorized importations into the United States through Canada.]]></ABSTRACT>

This service is being proposed to provide United States Agriculture assistance in facilitating the marketing of grain and similar commodities.  GIPSA also proposes to remove regulations which prohibit crop year, variety, and origin statements because the process verification program could serve as an industry tool for identifying these traits.]]></ABSTRACT>

By using the direct final rule process, GIPSA will give the public general notice of its intent to remove the rule and provide interested persons an opportunity to participate in the rulemaking through submission of comments.]]></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>

        <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 revising regulations pertaining to labeling of agricultural products as organically produced and handled (7 CFR part 205).  The term "aquatic animal" will be incorporated 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 of organically produced commodities and prevention of contact between organically produced and prohibited substances.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This amendment to the National Organic Program is intended to facilitate interstate commerce and marketing of fresh and processed aquatic animals that are organically produced and to assure consumers that such products meet consistent, uniform standards. This amendment will establish national standards for the production and handling of organically produced aquatic animals and products, including a national list of substances approved and prohibited for use in organic production and handling.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This amendment is proposed under the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA). OFPA includes fish for food in its definition of livestock. Additionally, on April 12, 2003, Congress amended OFPA section 2107 (7 U.S.C. 6506) to authorize certification of wild seafood.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[AMS is fulfilling a congressional mandate to proceed with rulemaking for the establishment of national standards for the organic production and handling of aquatic animals.

Other options are to do nothing or to proposed regulations prohibiting the labeling of aquatic animals as organically produced. Neither alternative is viable inasmuch as Congress has amended OFPA to authorize certification of wild seafood and is expecting the USDA to engage in rulemaking to establish standards for the production, handling, and labeling of organic aquatic animals.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Potential benefits to consumers include more information on organic aquatic animals and protection from false and misleading organic claims.  This proposal will address the problem of existing certifying agents using different standards.  This proposal will also resolve the issue of whether aquatic animals can be labeled as organically produced.

The costs of this proposed regulation are the direct costs to comply with the specific standards.  USDA-accredited certifying agents potentially will incur additional costs of accreditation should they opt to certify producers and handlers of aquatic animals.  New applicants for accreditation to certify producers and handlers of aquatic animals under the National Organic Program will incur fees for accreditation. Producers and handlers of organically produced and handled aquatic animals will incur costs for certification levied by USDA-accredited certifying agents.  USDA would not levy any fees on the certified operations. Producers and handlers will face numerous provisions that will regulate their production and handling methods. Retailers would not be directly regulated but would be subject to the same requirements for organic animals and products as they are currently for other foods under the NOP.  AMS believes this action will have a minimal impact on retailers.  Certified handlers will have to comply with requirements regarding the approved use of labels. The USDA, states operating State programs, and certifying agents will incur costs for enforcement of these new organic standards. Certifying agents, producers, and handlers would incur costs for reporting and recordkeeping. Certifying agents will be required to file reports and documents with the USDA and to maintain records regarding their accreditation and the certification of their clients. Certified operations will be required to develop and annually update an organic system plan and to maintain records regarding their certification and the administration of their operation.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exemption of Organic Producers From Research and Promotion/Marketing Order Assessment (PY-02-006 and FV-03-900-1)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the 2002 Farm Bill, section 501 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (FAIR Act) was amended on May 13, 2002.  The amendment exempts any person that produces and markets solely 100 percent organic products from paying assessments under a commodity promotion law. The FAIR Act governs all research and promotion programs and certain marketing order programs. Therefore, the Department of Agriculture is proposing amendments to the 16 research and promotion regulations and 28 applicable marketing order programs for which it has oversight. These amendments will be handled in two separate regulatory actions that will be published simultaneously.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Act requires reasonable fees be collected from applicants for plant variety protection in order to cover program expenses.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Services (AMS) issued a proposed rule on October 30, 2003, to implement a mandatory country of origin labeling program for covered commodities as mandated by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-171).  The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act amended the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to require retailers to notify their customers of the country of origin labeling program not later than September 30, 2004.  Covered commodities include muscle cuts of beef (including veal), lamb, and pork; ground beef, ground pork; farm-raised fish and shellfish; wild fish and shellfish; perishable agricultural commodities (fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables); and peanuts.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Under current Federal laws and regulations, country of origin labeling is not universally required for the covered commodities. In particular, labeling of U.S. origin is not mandatory, and labeling of imported products at the consumer level is required only in certain circumstances.  Thus, consumers generally do not have the ability to purchase products based on country of origin.  This intent of the law is to provide consumers with additional information on which to base their purchasing decisions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 10816 of Public Law 107-171 amended the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to require retailers to inform consumers of the country of origin for covered commodities beginning September 30, 2004, and requires USDA to promulgate requirements for the mandatory labeling program no later than September 30, 2004.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Various methods are being considered by which the objectives of this law could be accomplished.  The proposed rule specifically invites comment on several alternatives including alternative definitions for "processed food item," alternative labeling of mixed origin, and alternatives to using "slaughtered" on the label.  The proposed rule provides for a 60-day comment period which closes on December 29, 2003.  In formulating the final mandatory regulations, the Agency will analyze all of the public comments that were received and will give due consideration to any alternatives brought forth by the commenters.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[USDA has examined the economic impact of the proposed rule as required by Executive Order 12866.  The estimated benefits associated with this rule are likely to be negligible.  The estimated first-year incremental cost for growers, producers, processors, wholesalers, and retailers ranges from $582 million to $3.9 billion.  The estimated cost to the U.S. economy in higher food prices and reduced food production in the tenth year after implementation of the rule ranges from $138 million to $596 million.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[AMS is revising the regulatory provisions for labeling agricultural products as organically produced and handled (7 CFR part 205).  This rule will establish production standards for mushroom, apiculture, and greenhouse production systems and handling standards for apiculture products.

In June 2001, the NOSB released and accepted public comments 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>Nutrition Labeling of Meat and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 6, 1993, the Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) amended the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations with promulgation of the aforementioned final rule (58 FR 632) to (1) permit voluntary nutrition labeling on single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products; and (2) to establish mandatory nutrition labeling requirements for all other meat and poultry products, notwithstanding specific exceptions.  

Promulgation Purpose and Legal Basis:

Sections 1(n) of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA), and 4(h) of the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) establish the Secretary of Agriculture's statutory responsibility for ensuring that meat and meat food products, prepared and intended to be distributed in commerce, are not adulterated, misbranded, or improperly marked, labeled, and packaged (21 U.S.C. 601(n)(1); 21 U.S.C. 453(4)(h)).  

On November 8, 1990, the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) was enacted by Public Law 101.535 (104 Stat. 2353).  The statute amended certain provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and required: (1) Mandatory nutrition labeling for most of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulated packaged food products; and (2) issuance of voluntary nutrition guidelines to food retailers for providing nutrition information on 20 of each most frequently consumed during a year varieties of raw vegetables, raw fruits, and raw fish.  However, if food retailers failed to substantially comply with the voluntary guidelines, the NLEA requires FDA to issue mandatory requirements.  

FSIS' final rule entitled, "Nutrition Labeling of Meat and Poultry Products," will be reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act's section 610 provisions within the succeeding 12 months.  Accordingly, the FSIS invites all interested parties to submit comments on: (1) The continued need for the rule; (2) the complexity of the rule; (3) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, and local rules; (4) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule from the public; and (5) the technology and economic conditions, or other factors, which have changed the specific area affected by the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Standards for Bacon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to revise the regulatory provisions concerning the production and testing of pumped bacon (9 CFR 424.22(b)). FSIS is proposing to remove provisions that prescribe the substances and amounts of such substances that must be used to produce pumped bacon. FSIS is proposing to replace these provisions with an upper limit for nitrite and a performance standard that establishments producing pumped bacon must meet. To meet the proposed performance standard, the process used to produce pumped bacon would be required to limit the presence of nitrosamines when the product is cooked.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to replace restrictive provisions concerning the processing of pumped bacon with an upper limit for nitrite and a performance standard.  The proposed performance standard concerns limiting the presence of volatile nitrosamines in pumped bacon. These proposed changes are necessary to make the regulations concerning pumped bacon 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 to 695), a meat or meat food product is adulterated "if it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance that 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 they are carcinogenic, and though not added directly to pumped bacon, they may be produced when the pumped bacon is fried.  Processors can control the levels of nitrosamines that may be present when the product is fried by controlling the levels of ingoing nitrite and ingoing curing accelerators that are used in the production of pumped bacon.  In 1978, USDA stated that nitrosamines present at confirmable levels in pumped bacon after preparation for eating were deemed to adulterate the product.  FSIS still maintains that pumped bacon with confirmable levels of nitrosamines after preparation for eating is adulterated.  Under this proposed rule, processors meeting the performance standard would control the levels of nitrosamines in the finished product 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).]]></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 pumped bacon, FSIS does not anticipate that this proposed rule would result in any significant costs or benefits.  Pumped bacon processing establishments whose HACCP plans do not currently address nitrosamines as hazards reasonably likely to occur may incur some costs.  Also, establishments that choose to test their products for nitrosamines after this rule becomes effective 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 pumped bacon 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' regulatory reform effort to improve FSIS' 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 shell egg packers and egg products plants to develop and implement HACCP systems and sanitation SOPs.  FSIS also is proposing pathogen reduction performance standards that would be applicable to pasteurized eggs and egg products.  Plants would be expected to develop HACCP systems that ensure that these products meet the lethality required by the pathogen reduction performance standards.  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 plants. Finally, the Agency plans to eliminate the pre-marketing label approval system for egg products but to require safe-handling labels on all shell eggs.

The actions being proposed are part of FSIS' regulatory reform effort to improve FSIS' 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' 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 to 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 of several alternatives on the public, the shell egg and egg products industry, and FSIS. 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, FSIS and other Federal agencies, State and local governments, small entities, and 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 sanitation SOP 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 Food and Drug Administration 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 products plants, 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.

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 intra-Agency group of scientific and technical experts is conducting a risk management analysis.  The group 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 enteritis Risk Assessment, made public June 12, 1998, will be appropriately modified to evaluate the risk associated with the regulatory alternatives.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will continue an effort initiated several years ago by amending FSIS's regulations to expand the types of labeling that are generically approved. FSIS plans to propose that the submission of labeling for approval prior to use be limited to certain types of labeling, as specified in the regulations. In addition, FSIS plans to reorganize and amend the regulations by consolidating the nutrition labeling rules that currently are stated separately for livestock products and poultry products (in part 317, subpart B, and part 381, subpart Y, respectively) and by amending their provisions to set out clearly various circumstances under which these products are misbranded.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Standards; General Principles and Food Standards Modernization</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 a set of guiding principles for food standards. The adherence to these principles will result in standards that will better promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers, protect the public, allow for technological advances in food production, are consistent with international food standards, and are clear, simple, and easy to use for both manufacturers and the agencies that enforce compliance with the standards. The proposed guiding principles will establish the criteria that the Agnencies will use in considering whether a petition to establish, revise, or eliminate a food standard will be the basis for a proposed rule.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Chilling Time and Temperature Requirements for Ready-To-Cook Poultry</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 (PR/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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This proposed rule addresses Federal regulations that are inconsistent with the PR/HACCP regulations because they restrict the ability of poultry processors to choose appropriate and effective measures to eliminate, reduce, or control biological hazards identified in their hazard analyses.  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 are inconsistent with the PR/HACCP regulations, the retained water regulations, and the meat inspection regulations.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This regulatory action is authorized under the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 451 to 470).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FSIS evaluated five regulatory alternatives:  (1) Taking no regulatory action; (2) replacing the command-and-control requirements with a performance standard; (3) requiring meatpackers, as well as poultry processors, to comply with such a performance standard; (4) requiring all establishments that prepare raw meat or poultry products or handle, transport, or receive the products in transportation to comply with a performance standard; or (5) removing the command-and-control requirements from the poultry products inspection regulations.  The Agency chose the fifth alternative.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Regulations To Prevent Meat Food and Meat Products That May Contain the BSE Agent From Entering Commerce</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. FSIS may also propose to issue certain regulations in the absence of BSE as preventive measures. 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 if, and when, a native case of BSE is detected in the U.S. 

BSE is a chronic, degenerative, neurological disorder of cattle.  Worldwide, there have been more than 185,000 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 if, and when, BSE is detected in native cattle. The proposed regulations would: (1) Prohibit certain materials that have been shown to contain the BSE agent in BSE-infected cattle to be used for human food or in the production of human food; (2) prescribe handling, storage, and transportation requirements for such materials; (3) prohibit slaughter procedures that may cause potentially infective tissues to migrate to edible tissues; (4) impose restrictions on the use of the vertebral column as a source material in the production of meat produced using advanced meat recovery systems (AMRS) and in the production of "Mechanically Separated (Beef)" (MS(Beef)) meat food product; (5) prescribe requirements for the slaughtering and processing of cattle whose materials are most likely to contain the BSE agent if the animal is infected with BSE; and (6) prescribe requirements for the sanitation or disposal of plant equipment that may be contaminated with the BSE agent. 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.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601 to 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[If issued as a final rule, this proposal would result in costs to the regulated industry. FSIS expects to minimize the costs by targeting the regulations to apply to those cattle whose materials are most likely to contain the BSE agent if the animal is infected with BSE. Banning certain materials, such as brain and spinal cord, for use as human food may require additional staff and time to remove such materials. Materials prohibited for use as human food could not be sold domestically or exported. Companies may be required to find new ways to handle and dispose of these materials, which would impose additional costs. Prohibiting the use of bovine vertebral column as a source material in AMRS and systems used to produce MS (Beef) product could result in a decrease in product yield and may require companies that use these systems to produce boneless beef and beef products to find other uses for bovine vertebral column. Establishments whose equipment may have been contaminated with the BSE agent may have costs associated with sanitation or disposal of plant equipment.

FSIS may incur costs to increase inspection and compliance activities to ensure that the measures taken to prevent meat and meat food products that may contain the BSE agent from entering commerce are effective. Producers may receive lower prices from processors, and some of their stock may be condemned outright. The price consumers pay for meat may rise or fall depending on how the discovery of BSE in the U.S. would affect consumer demand for beef.

The main benefit of this proposed rule is the prevention of vCJD in the United States. There have been over 100 definite and probable cases of vCJD detected worldwide since the disease was first identified in 1986 in the United Kingdom. While vCJD is still considered a rare condition, the extent or occurrence of a vCJD epidemic in the United Kingdom cannot be determined because of the long incubation period (up to 25 years). Thus, if issued as a final rule, this proposal could have widespread public health benefits if it serves to prevent a vCJD epidemic from developing in the U.S. Even if vCJD remains a rare condition, this proposed rule will still have public health benefits because of the severity of the symptoms associated with vCJD and the fact that vCJD is always fatal.

This proposed rule may benefit the meat industry by helping to restore confidence in the domestic meat supply when and if a native case of BSE is detected in the U.S. This may limit losses to meat slaughter and processing operations in the long run.]]></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[In 1994, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) amended its regulations to recognize that products 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>

The rule would require, as a prerequisite to labeling or using product derived by mechanically separating skeletal muscle tissue from cattle and swine bones as meat, that establishments implement and document procedures for ensuring that their production process is in control. The proposed rule was published in 1998. FSIS intends to implement more rigid measures for central nervous system tissue and prohibiting the use of vertebral columns in the AMR final product unless the establishment can demonstrate effective process control to ensure that no spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia will be present in the final AMR product. Current FSIS policy prohibits the presence of spinal cord in AMR products but not the presence of DRG or the use of vertebral columns. In January 2002, FSIS began the first of two surveys on AMR products derived from non-vertebral and vertebral beef and pork columns.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Although the 1998 proposed rule was determined to be not economically significant, FSIS restudied the projected costs using data from various FSIS databases and other sources to develop an improved estimate of the benefits and costs of implementing the final rule. To date, it appears that the final rule will not be economically significant, but data evaluation continues. The benefit of enforcing the misbranding provisions will ensure that the product does not contain materials not consistent with boneless, comminuted meat.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has proposed to amend the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations by establishing food safety performance standards for all ready-to-eat and all partially heat-treated meat and poultry products.  The proposed performance standards set forth both levels of pathogen reduction and limits on pathogen growth that official meat and poultry establishments must achieve during their operations in order to produce unadulterated products but allow the use of customized, plant-specific processing procedures.  The proposed performance standards apply to ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, categorized as follows: Dried products (e.g., beef or poultry jerky); salt-cured products (e.g., country ham); fermented products (e.g., salami and Lebanon bologna); cooked and otherwise processed products (e.g., beef and chicken burritos, corned beef, pastrami, poultry rolls, and turkey franks); and thermally processed, commercially sterile products (e.g., canned spaghetti with meat balls and canned corned beef hash).

Although FSIS routinely samples and tests some ready-to-eat products for the presence of pathogens prior to distribution, there are no specific regulatory pathogen reduction requirements for most of these products.  The proposed performance standards will help ensure the safety of these products; give establishments the incentive and flexibility to adopt innovative, science-based food safety processing procedures and controls; and provide objective, measurable standards that can be verified by Agency oversight.  

The proposal also contained provisions addressing Listeria monocytogenes in RTE products. An Interim Final Rule on this subject was published June 6, 2003 (68 FR 34208).

FSIS also has proposed to eliminate its regulations that require that both ready-to-eat and not-ready-to-eat pork and products containing pork be treated to destroy trichinae (Trichinella spiralis).  These requirements are inconsistent with HACCP, and some will be unnecessary if FSIS makes final the proposed performance standards for ready-to-eat meat and poultry products.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601 to 695) and the Poultry Product Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 451 to 470), FSIS issues regulations governing the production of meat and poultry products prepared for distribution in commerce. The regulations, along with FSIS inspection programs, are designed to ensure that meat and poultry products are safe, not adulterated, and properly marked, labeled, and packaged.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As an alternative to all of the proposed requirements, FSIS considered taking no action. As alternatives to the proposed performance standard requirements, FSIS considered end-product testing and requiring "use-by" date labeling on ready-to-eat products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Benefits are expected to result from less contaminated products entering commercial food distribution channels as a result of improved sanitation and process controls and in-plant verification. FSIS believes that the benefits of the rule would exceed the total costs of implementing its provisions.

The main provisions of the proposed rule are: Lethality performance standards for Salmonella and E. coli 0157:H7 and stabilization performance standards for C. perfringens that firms must meet when producing RTE meat and poultry products. Most of the costs of these requirements would be associated with one-time process performance validation in the first year of implementation of the rule and with revision of HACCP plans. Total industry-wide costs are estimated to be $7.1 million. Benefits are expected to result from the entry into commercial food distribution channels of product with lower levels of contamination resulting from improved in-plant process verification and sanitation.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS will require nutrition labeling for the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products,  either on their label or at their point-of-purchase.  FSIS will also require nutrition information on the label of ground or chopped meat and poultry products.  The requirements for ground or chopped products will be consistent with those for multi-ingredient products.

In this final rule, FSIS will also provide that when a ground or chopped product does not meet the regulatory criteria to be labeled "low fat," a lean percentage claim may be included on the label or in labeling, as long as a statement of the fat percentage also is displayed on the label or in labeling.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Agency will require that nutrition information be provided for the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products, either on their label or at their point-of-purchase, 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.  Without the nutrition information for the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products that would be provided if significant participation in the voluntary nutrition labeling program existed, FSIS has concluded that these products would be misbranded.

Because consumers cannot easily estimate the level of fat in ground or chopped meat and poultry products and because producers are able to formulate precisely the fat content of ground or chopped products, FSIS has concluded that ground or chopped meat and poultry products that do not bear nutrition information on their labels would also be misbranded.  

Finally, FSIS will 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 as long as a statement of the fat percentage is also displayed on the label or in labeling.  FSIS will include these provisions in the final nutrition labeling regulations because many consumers have become accustomed to this labeling on ground beef products and because this labeling provides a quick, simple, accurate means of comparing all ground or chopped meat and poultry products.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This action is authorized under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601 to 695) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 451 to 470).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[No action; nutrition labels required on all single-ingredient, raw products (major cuts and non-major cuts) and all ground or chopped products; nutrition labels required on all major cuts of single-ingredient, raw products (but not non-major cuts) and all ground or chopped products; nutrition information at the point-of-purchase required for all single-ingredient, raw products (major and non-major cuts) and for all ground or chopped products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Costs will include the equipment for making labels, labor, and materials used for labels for ground or chopped products.  The cost of providing nutrition labeling for the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products should not be significant, because retail establishments would have the option of providing nutrition information through point-of-purchase materials.

Benefits of the nutrition labeling rule would result from consumers modifying their diets in response to new nutrition information concerning ground or chopped products and the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw products.  Reductions in consumption of fat and cholesterol are associated with reduced incidence of cancer and coronary heart disease.  

FSIS has concluded that the quantitative benefits will exceed the quantitative costs of the rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the Federal meat inspection regulations to prohibit the use of penetrative captive bolt stunning devices that deliberately inject air into the cranial cavity of cattle. This rulemaking responds to the findings of a risk assessment on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) conducted by the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis (referred to as the Harvard study) and is part of a series of actions that the USDA is taking to strengthen its BSE prevention programs.
	BSE has never been detected in the United States (U.S.) despite active surveillance for the disease by the USDA since May 1990. Furthermore, the Harvard study found that, owing to already ongoing Federal programs, the U.S. is highly resistant to the introduction and spread of the disease. Even so, the USDA response to BSE has always been proactive and preventive. Therefore, FSIS is taking this action to address the potential risk posed by stunning devices that may force visible pieces of brain, known as macro-emboli, into the circulatory system of stunned cattle.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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.

This proposal would also recodify the ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection regulations for livestock and poultry. To the extent possible, consistent with the 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>

        <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>Requirements for Disposition and Disposal of Inspected Raw Meat and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to reform the regulations governing the disposition of inspected raw meat and poultry products and the disposal of such products that are condemned or otherwise inedible. A number of the current regulations are no longer appropriate for the conditions under which meat and poultry products are produced and distributed today. Others are duplicative regulations applying separately to meat and to poultry that should be combined into single regulations applying to both meat and poultry. Most emphasize the procedures for achieving regulatory objectives rather than the objectives themselves. The 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. 

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Meat Produced by Advanced Meat/Bone Separation Machinery and Meat Recovery Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1994, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) amended its regulations to recognize that products 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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards and Labeling Requirements for Mechanically Separated Species and Products in Which It Is Used</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 29, 1982, the Department of Agriculture amended the Federal meat inspection regulations with promulgation of the final rule (47 FR 28214) to (1) modify the definition, standard, and permitted uses for the finely comminuted product resulting from the mechanical separation and removal of most of the bone from attached skeletal muscle of livestock carcasses and parts of carcasses, and the labeling requirements for meat food products in which it is used as an ingredient; and (2) to establish labeling requirements for such products.

Promulgation Purpose and Legal Basis:

Sections 1(m), (n), 7, and 10 of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) establishes the Secretary of Agriculture's statutory responsibility for ensuring that meat and meat food products, prepared and intended to be distributed in commerce, are not adulterated, misbranded, or improperly marked, labeled, and packaged. (21 U.S.C. 601(m)(n), 607, 610)  The final rule governing the production and use of mechanically separated species was issued in 1978 (43 FR 26416).  However, despite the availability of technology and raw materials, a potential food source was not being made available to the general public.  In the interim, the Pacific Coast Meat Association (PCMA) and the American Meat Institute (AMI) contended that its failure to market products containing Mechanically Processed (Species) Product (MP(S)P) was due to regulatory requirements that extended beyond the perimeters necessary to protect the public, and argued that they were effectively precluded from producing or marketing mechanically deboned beef, pork, or veal or lamb by the misleading labeling and the unreasonable compositional standards imposed by the regulations.  PCMA and the AMI petitioned the agency to reconsider the requirements in light of information compiled since the promulgation of the 1978 regulations.  PCMA and AMI submitted a report on a series of consumer focus group's sessions exploring attitudes towards various types of meat food product labeling, and an analysis of the economic impacts of the 1978 regulations.  Based on the original petition's argument, data compiled since 1978, and the Agency's internal review and reevaluation of its regulations in accordance with Executive Order 12291 (now Executive Order 12866), the Department decided to amend the requirements and issue a new final rule entitled "Standards and Labeling Requirements for Mechanically Separated (Species) and Products in Which It Is Used." 

This regulation has been reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act's section 610 provisions.  The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) intends to publish the results of its mandatory review in the Federal Register by May 31, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) changed the fees that 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. The Agency raised the fees for voluntary base time and holiday and overtime inspection services. These increases in fees reflect, among other factors, the national and locality pay raise for Federal employees and inflation. FSIS also decreased the fee for laboratory services because of greater efficiencies realized. The Agency did not change the Accredited Laboratory Program annual fee.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), the Department is seeking public comment on the nutritional needs of the diverse WIC population and how health and development outcomes could best be improved via revision of regulations governing the WIC food packages.  The Department will use comments received through this ANPRM and science from the Institute of Medicine, Food and Nutrition Board to develop a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  (03-002)]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The WIC Program provides supplemental foods designed to provide specific nutrients shown by research to be lacking in the WIC population's diet.  WIC food packages and nutrition education are the chief means by which WIC affects the dietary quality and habits of participants.  WIC food packages were designed to supplement participants' diets with nutritionally dense foods that prevent iron-deficiency anemia; complement the eating patterns of pre-school children; and address the special nutrition requirements of pregnant and breastfeeding women.  The WIC food packages were last revised in 1980.  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.  In light of emerging nutrition-related health issues and the new research-based Dietary Reference Intakes through this Notice, the Department is soliciting public comments to determine if the food packages can and should be revised to meet the nutritional needs of participants more effectively.  And if so, what specific changes should be made to the food packages and why.  Public comment will inform decisions and bolster the scientific and programmatic integrity of any rule that is proposed as a result of this process.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Public Law 95-627, enacted in November 1976, defined supplemental foods as those foods containing nutrients determined by nutritional research to be lacking in the diets of pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children, as prescribed by the Secretary of Agriculture.  The program direction stipulated by that law remains in effect today (42 U.S.C. 1786(b)(14)).  The law also directs the Secretary in section 17(f)(11) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1786(f)(11)), to assure that, to the degree possible, the fat, sugar, and salt contents of WIC foods are appropriate.  The law provides substantial latitude to the Department to prescribe by regulation the most appropriate supplemental foods.   Historically, the Department has based its prescriptions of WIC foods on sound nutritional research and input from State and local agencies, the health and scientific communities, industry, and the general public.  Current WIC food package regulations were published in 1980 (45 FR 74854, November 12, 1980) that are consistent with the direction provided in Public Law 95-627.

In recent years, the Department has received numerous requests from WIC State agencies and participants to modify the current food packages to permit greater substitution of foods or introduction of new foods.  Requests for revisions to the WIC food packages have also been received from Congress and other organizations with interests in the welfare of WIC participants.  Specifically, Congress requested through appropriations report language for fiscal years 2001-2002 (H.R. 106-619, S.R. 106-288, H.R. 107-116, and S.R. 107-41) that the Department develop a WIC food package rule that includes fruits and vegetables and that allows for cultural accommodations.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The September 15, 2003, ANPRM includes 11 questions seeking alternatives, information, and supporting rationale.  In the rulemaking process, the Department wishes to respond to the congressional request, as well as requests from other interested entities within the WIC community (including the National Advisory Council on Maternal, Infant, and Fetal Nutrition; the National WIC Association; and the American Dietetic Association) by soliciting recommendations from the public for scientifically based revisions to the WIC food packages that do not significantly increase the cost to the program or change the supplemental nature of the program.  The Department is dedicated to addressing the many implications of a comprehensive revision of WIC food packages, specifically: Cultural and ethnic food preferences; commercial availability, variety, and appeal of foods; versatility in food preparation; feasibility of apportionment into daily servings for an individual over a month's time; State and local agency flexibility to design the food prescription; administrative feasibility and manageability by the State and local agencies and vendors; and burden and incentive for participants, potential participants, and their families.  

The Department has enlisted the Food and Nutrition Board to provide independent technical experts to review comments submitted in response to this Notice, as well as available science, and to develop recommendations on revising the WIC food packages for the Department's consideration.  The Department will then use the results of this independent review to shape a proposed rulemaking containing specific modifications to the WIC food packages.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[No cost/benefit information is necessary for this ANPRM.  A detailed regulatory impact analysis outlining the specific costs and benefits of each proposed change to the WIC food packages will be developed and issued along with the proposed rulemaking, including response to  the comments on the ANPRM.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[By issuing the ANPRM, the Department is minimizing the risk of inadvertently omitting or misrepresenting issues that may be critical to the best possible revision of the WIC food packages.  The ANPRM offers the public an opportunity to participate in the Department's promulgation of a proposed rulemaking to revise the WIC food packages.  The public will have a subsequent opportunity to submit comments on such revisions when the proposed rule is published.]]></RISKS>

The above provisions are modeled after Food Stamp Program provisions. (01-005)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 seven States. Six States were initially authorized by the Agricultural Risk Protection Act (Pub. L. 106-224); the seventh State was authorized by fiscal year 2002 appropriation legislation.  At-risk suppers in these States (Delaware, Illinois, 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 seven 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>Food Stamp Program: Administrative Sanctions Imposed Against Violating Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) Stores</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), is proposing to revise section 278.6 of the Food Stamp Program Regulations entitled "Disqualification of Retail Food Stores and Wholesale Food Concerns and Imposition of Civil Money Penalties In Lieu of Disqualifications." This section of the regulation is being revised as a result of the implementation of the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system.  This section of the regulations addresses the administrative sanctions (i.e., imposing a period of disqualification or assessing a monetary penalty) that may be imposed by FNS against retail food stores and wholesale food concerns that are found violating the Food Stamp Program.

        <RULE_TITLE>FSP: Eligibility and Certification Provisions of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule will amend Food Stamp Program regulations to implement the food stamp eligibility and certification provisions of Public Law 107-171, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002.  The rule allows States, at their option, to treat legally obligated child support payments to a non-household member as an income exclusion rather than a deduction (as provided in current law); allows a State option to exclude certain types of income that are not counted under the State's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance or Medicaid programs; replaces the current, fixed standard deduction with a deduction that varies according to household size and is adjusted annually for cost-of-living increases; allows States to simplify the Standard Utility Allowance (SUA) if the States elect to use the SUA rather than actual utility costs for all households; allows States to use a standard deduction from income of $143 per month for homeless households with some shelter expenses; allows States to disregard reported changes in deductions during certification periods except for changes associated with a new residence or earned income until the next recertification; increases the resource limit for households with a disabled member from $2,000 to $3,000 consistent with the limit for households with an elderly member; allows States to exclude certain types of resources that the State does not count for TANF or Medicaid (section 1931); allows States to extend semiannual reporting of changes to all households not exempt from periodic reporting; requires State agencies that have a website to post applications on these sites in the same languages that the State uses for its written applications; allows States to extend from the current 3 months up to 5 months the period of time households may receive transitional food stamp benefits when they lose TANF cash assistance; and restores food stamp eligibility to qualified aliens who are otherwise eligible AND who (1) are receiving disability benefits regardless of date of entry (current law requires them to have been in the country on August 22, 1996)--effective October 1, 2002, (2) are under 18 regardless of date of entry (current law limits eligibility to children who were in the country on August 22, 1996)--effective October 1, 2003, and beyond, or (3) have lived in the U.S. for 5 years as a qualified alien beginning on date of entry--effective April 1, 2003.

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This proposed rule deals with changes required by Public Law 107-171, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002.  The Department has limited discretion in implementing provisions of that law.  Most of the provisions in this rule are effective October 1, 2002, and must be implemented by State agencies prior to publication of this rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The provisions of this rule will simplify State administration of the Food Stamp Program, increase eligibility for the program among certain groups, increase access to the program among low-income families and individuals, and increase benefit levels.  The provisions of Public Law 107-171 implemented by this rule will have a 5-year cost of approximately $1.9 billion.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The FSP provides nutrition assistance to millions of Americans nationwide--working families, eligible non-citizens, and elderly and disabled individuals.  Many low-income families don't earn enough money and many elderly and disabled individuals don't receive enough in retirement or disability benefits to meet all of their expenses and purchase healthy and nutritious meals.  The FSP serves a vital role in helping these families and individuals achieve and maintain self-sufficiency and purchase a nutritious diet.  This rule is intended to implement the certification and eligibility provisions of Public Law 107-171, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002.  It will simplify State administration of the Food Stamp Program, increase eligibility for the program among certain groups, increase access to the program among low-income families and individuals, and increase benefit levels.  The provisions of this rule will increase benefits by approximately $1.95 billion over 5 years.  When fully effective in FY 2006, the provisions of this rule will add approximately 415,000 new participants.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The SFMNP has been administered since fiscal year 2001 as a competitive grant program in which State agencies, interested in receiving a grant to operate the program, submitted an application for SFMNP grant funds to USDA's Food and Nutrition Service.  Such grants were reviewed and ranked against a set of explicit criteria, and SFMNP grants were then awarded to those State agencies whose applications received the highest scores.  Public Law 107-171 authorized funding for the SFMNP through FY 2007 and also gave the Department the authority to promulgate regulations for the future operation and administration of the SFMNP.  This legislative action establishes the SFMNP as a permanent nutrition assistance program and eliminates the need for State agencies to participate in an annual competition for program funds.  Therefore, this proposed rulemaking converts the SFMNP from a competitive grant program to a permanent FNS-administered nutrition assistance program.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Public Law 107-171 (section 4306) authorized funding for the SFMNP through FY 2007 and also gave the Department the authority to promulgate regulations for the future operation and administration of the SFMNP.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[USDA considered a variety of alternatives when constructing the regulation for the SFMNP.  Primarily, the proposed regulation is modeled after the WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program and the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Pilot Programs.  Consistency lends to administrative ease among the State agencies, localities, and USDA, as well as provides continuity to beneficiaries and farmers who have been operating the pilot programs since 2001.  Nevertheless, USDA addressed seven specific alternatives: Type of grant structure, eligible grantees and recipients, the use of community-supported agriculture programs, provision of administrative funding, eligibility requirements, verification procedures, and benefit levels.  Each of these alternatives is explored in detail in the preamble to the proposed rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The funding level for the SFMNP is expected to remain stable through FY 2007.  Therefore, the Department does not anticipate significant changes to the costs/benefits of the SFMNP as a result of the publication of this proposed rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The proposed rule carries a 90-day comment period, during which interested parties may submit comments on any and all provisions contained in the rulemaking.  Once the comment period has expired, all comments received will be carefully considered in the development of the final rule.  Opportunities for training on and discussion of the SFMNP regulations (in both their proposed and final forms) will be offered to State agencies and other entities with a vested interest in the operation and administration of the SFMNP.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule amends the WIC regulations to clarify issues that have arisen subsequent to the publication of the WIC Food Delivery Systems final rule.  It includes the following provisions:  Allows the release of vendor information such as telephone numbers, e-mail/website addresses, store type, and whether the vendor has been disqualified; requires State agencies to document the number of cans of infant formula purchased by participants; prohibits provision of incentive items solely to WIC participants; protects State agencies against loss of revenue due to vendor nonselection; and provides for an abbreviated administrative review when a State agency issues a civil money penalty in lieu of a reciprocal WIC disqualification.  The rule also increases the maximum fine for theft or fraud from $10,000 to $25,000, in accordance with Public Law 105-336.  (02-013)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Update NSLP regulations 7 CFR 210 regarding the use of federal funds for the provision of meals for school children under the NSLP.  This rule will prohibit school food authorities (SFA) from using funds in the non-profit school food service account for expenditures made under any cost reimbursable provision of a contract that permits the contractor to receive payments in excess of the contractor's actual net allowable costs.  The expected result is that regulatory language will ensure optimum  utilization of funds in the non-profit school food service account. (03-001)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>WIC Farmers&apos; Market Nutrition Program (FMNP):  Funding Formula Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMNP is a fixed grant program with limited funds.  Funding increases are not guaranteed from year to year.  Section 17(m) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended, sets forth broad funding requirements for the FMNP.  By law, after base grants are provided to current State agencies, i.e., total Federal funds received in the prior fiscal year, the remaining funds are divided so that 75 percent is provided for expansion funds for current State agencies and 25 percent is provided for new State agencies.  Currently, beyond the division of funds noted above, there are no requirements for how to allocate funds for expansion and new State agencies when funds requested exceed the amount of available funds.  This proposed regulation would amend 7 CFR Part 248 to set forth a funding formula in cases where FMNP funds requested exceed available funds to allocate.  The proposed methodology would provide a base funding level for each State agency.  Funding above the base level would be based on the individual State agency's need relative to all other State agencies' needs. (03-004)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Child and Adult Care Food Program:  Improving Management and Program Integrity</RULE_TITLE>
        <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; and State- and institution-level monitoring requirements. 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), and the William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-336). 

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 miscategorized 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), and the William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-336).]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes revisions to food stamp regulations affecting the standards and administration of EBT systems for food stamp issuance.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 amended the Richard B. Russell 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.

        <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 make 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, 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 Program" (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' option 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.

Section 4113--This rule allows group homes and institutions to redeem EBT benefits directly through banks in areas where EBT has been implemented rather than going through authorized wholesalers or other retailers.

Section 4117--This rule allows the Secretary of Agriculture to use mailing methods other than certified mail when notifying retailers of the above mentioned adverse actions so long as the method provides evidence of delivery. (02-005)]]></ABSTRACT>

These changes support the Department's ongoing efforts in management and integrity improvement. (00-005)]]></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>Determining Eligibility for Free and Reduced Price Meals in Schools--Verification Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Recent comparisons of National poverty data instruments indicate that there are more students certified for free and reduced price meals than there are students eligible for such meal benefits.  The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) published a proposed  rule on August 9, 2002, and finalized this regulation to amend the recordkeeping and reporting requirements relating to verification of applications for free and reduced price meals.  The rule requires local school food authorities to report verification activity and results to their respective State agency to support State agency oversight activities and to require States to report the school level data to USDA.  Results will provide USDA with information that will assist in improving the certification of eligibility for free and reduced price meal benefits.  (01-015)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Stamp Program: Administrative Review Requirements--Food Retailers/Wholesalers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule proposes to streamline and make technical corrections to the administrative review process by amending portions of current regulations provided in parts 278 and 279.  It would eliminate repetitious, outdated, and unnecessary provisions without taking away a business's right to an administrative review or a judicial review.  It would also eliminate formal procedures for face-to-face meetings with review officers.  There are very few requests for such reviews, and because administrative review decisions are based on documented facts and not on face-to-face meetings, these meetings are unnecessary and ineffective.

In accordance with that Act, using whatever funds are appropriated for the fiscal year to support the program and any program funds remaining available from the preceding fiscal year, this rule requires the allocation of an administrative grant per assigned caseload slot, adjusted each year for inflation, to pay State and local Agency administrative costs.  This method of allocation provides States a specific amount of administrative funds to support each caseload slot assigned. (02-010)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>Indian Allotments on National Forest System Lands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule sets forth the Forest Service role and procedures in the conveyance of Indian allotments on National Forest System (NFS) lands. The Indian Allotment Act of 1910, as amended, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to make allotments of NFS lands to American Indians for homesteading and agricultural and grazing purposes, but only after a determination by the Secretary of Agriculture that the lands are more valuable for agriculture or grazing than for timber. The Forest Service has relied upon U.S. Department of the Interior 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.  This proposed rule clarifies the role of the Forest Service in the allotment process.  It preserves the rights of affected individual American Indians who wish to apply for allotments on NFS lands.  An earlier version of this proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on June 22, 1987 (52 FR 23473).  Very few comments were received on the 1987 proposed rule, and this revision of the proposed rule makes only limited changes needed to update the rule due to the passage of 15 years since publication of the first version of the proposed rule.  Because of the amount of time that has elapsed since the earlier version of the proposed rule was published, the agency believes that it is in the public interest to publish a revised proposed rule and request comment prior to adopting a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Appeal of Decisions Relating to Occupancy and Use of National Forest System Lands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is publishing a proposed rule to redesignate appeals of decisions relating to occupancy and use of National Forest System lands from 36 CFR part 251 to 36 CFR part 214, thus placing all appeal rules in close proximity. The current rule at 36 CFR part 251 also needs to be updated for conformance with the Appeal Reform Act. The proposed rule would revise a number of existing provisions. For example, changes to part 251 would remove the review of decisions subject to the National Environmental Policy Act and place this kind of appeal under 36 CFR 215, thus narrowing the scope of part 251 subpart C to actions that administer existing special use authorizations, such as written decisions that modify, suspend, or cancel an authorization. Additionally, the proposed rule would clarify that this is the appropriate part for appeal of decisions related to locatable mining operations. Among specific changes being proposed are establishing the Regional Forester as the appellate level for review of both District Ranger and Forest Supervisor decisions; eliminating the discretionary review option; establishing timeframes for scheduling oral presentations; clarifying that decisions to deny permits for noncommercial group use are not subject to appeal, but rather are immediately subject to judicial review; and making changes to conform terminology and definitions with 36 CFR part 215.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Law Enforcement Support Activities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 16, 1994 (59 FR 7880), the Forest Service published a proposed rule for 36 CFR part 261, Prohibitions, and part 262, Law Enforcement Support Activities.  Due to the high level of interest in and comment on part 261, the decision was made to publish second proposed rules separately for each part.

The Forest Service is proceeding with publication of a second proposed rule for part 262, Law Enforcement Support Activities.  The proposed revisions to part 262 are narrow in scope and are meant to clarify specific administrative provisions.  In particular, they address the limitations and conditions for paying rewards in connection to fire or property prosecution; clarify the rules regarding the purchase of information or evidence in furtherance of investigations; and clarify certain actions and regulations regarding the impoundment, removal, and disposition of animals and personal property from National Forest System lands.  The proposed rule also responds to comments concerning part 262 that were received in response to the proposed rule published in 1994.  The majority of those comments referred to how the rule defines certain terms; to address those comments in this second proposed rule, the agency proposes to add a new section for definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Noncompetitive Sale of Timber; Timber Substitution</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 defining the conditions under which forest officers, without advertisement, could make modifications to existing timber sale contracts and forest product sales contracts, 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. Forest Service officials would be authorized to propose timber sale modifications and to enter into discussions with purchasers on such modifications.  However, timber purchasers would not be compelled to accept any modifications offered under this rule. 

To the extent that timber sale cancellations and partial cancellations are avoided, the effect of this proposed rule would be to reduce future damage claims on timber sales.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Land Uses; Prohibitions; Paleontological Resources</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule consists of several technical changes to the Agency's special uses and prohibited acts regulations regarding fossil collecting. First, the proposed rule would revise 36 CFR 251.50 to make clear that special use permits for collecting vertebrate paleontological resources are authorized under the Act of 1897. Noncommercial vertebrate fossil collecting by academic and other similar institutions would be added as an activity that requires a special use authorization.  The commercial collection of paleontological resources would not be authorized on National Forest System Lands.  Second, this proposed rule would revise the definition for "paleontological resource" at 36 CFR 261.2 to make it scientifically correct and to make clear that mineral resources are excluded from the definition.   The revised definition for "paleontological resource" would be added to 36 CFR 251.51.  Third, the prohibitions related to paleontology at 36 CFR 261.9 would be revised to reflect the changes at 36 CFR part 251.  Other conforming amendments to 36 CFR parts 251 and 261 will be made to accommodate the changes identified in this abstract.  This proposed rule is consistent with the Forest Service's stated commitment to develop a unified policy for management of fossil resources on Federal and Indian lands in accordance with the seven principles established in the May 2000 Secretary of the Interior's Report to the Senate.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Forest Service Trails Accessibility Guidelines in this proposed policy amending Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2350, Trail, River, and Similar Recreation Opportunities, would establish clear agency guidelines to provide the highest level of accessibility to pedestrian/hiker trails for the greatest number of people, including persons with disabilities, while not fundamentally altering the environment and recreational setting.  The proposed policy also would incorporate the definition of a wheelchair and clarify direction that a mobility device that meets that definition of a wheelchair may be used anywhere foot travel is permitted.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and 7 CFR 15e require that new or reconstructed facilities be accessible. The Forest Service Outdoor Recreation Accessibility Guidelines in this proposed policy amending Forest Service Manual (FSM) chapter 2330, Publicly Managed Recreation Opportunities, would establish clear agency guidelines to provide the highest level of accessibility for the greatest number of people, including persons with disabilities, while not fundamentally altering the environment and recreational setting. Outdoor recreation facilities include campgrounds, picnic areas, beach access and other access routes, and so on. The proposed policy also would clarify direction regarding existing requirements for the Golden Access Passport eligibility and documentation utilized by all Federal agencies under the 1980 amendment to the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act. Comments will be considered in development of the final guidelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Objection Process; Land Management Planning (Interim Directive, Forest Service Manual, Chapter 1920)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is proposing to issue an interim directive (ID) to Forest Service Manual chapter 1920, Land and Resource Management Planning to provide Agency-wide guidance on objections filed against land and resource management plan decisions.  The pre-decisional objection process is authorized in the National Forest System Land and Resource Management Planning rule at 36 CFR 219.32 (65 FR 65714, November 9, 2000).  The 2000 Planning Rule is currently being revised to address concerns raised regarding the Agency's ability to implement some portions of the rule's provisions.  Nevertheless, this objection process is a viable tool for field units to use to attempt to resolve issue(s) prior to making a final Agency decision on land and resource management plans.  Therefore, it is prudent to provide interim direction on the objection process in order to ensure Agency-wide consistency in its implementation.  Upon issuance of this ID, notice will be given in the Federal Register with a request for public comment.  Comments will be reviewed and considered in developing the final policy on the objection process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revision follows recommended changes developed by GAO and OIG audits and recommendations in the National Research Council's 1999 report titled "Hardrock Mining on Federal Lands." The proposed rule would improve the administration of the locatable minerals program.  The proposed rule's objectives are to improve the process for modifying, suspending, and terminating plans of operation; improve the process of reviewing and adjusting reclamation bonds to cover the full cost of reclamation; improve the process of managing temporary closures; define proper occupancy and use; and improve noncompliance and enforcement actions.  This proposed rule revision will increase the efficiency of locatable minerals administration and protect the public from funding mine reclamation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sawtooth National Recreation Area-Private Lands; Increasing Residential Outbuilding Size</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing a limited amendment to the rules at 36 CFR 292.16(e)(2)(ii) applicable to private lands on the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in Idaho. This proposed rule would revise the standard for residential outbuildings on the SNRA to a maximum area of 850 square feet (currently, 400 square feet) and would limit such outbuildings to one story. This change would accommodate the storage needs for residents within the SNRA. The new standard would facilitate replacement of the temporary structures and also the unsightly, unprotected outdoor storage of materials, equipment, and vehicles. In general the residents within the SNRA are supportive of the proposed amendment, which should be considered as noncontroversial based on comments previously received in response to an environmental assessment prepared in 2000 for a proposed revision of the Sawtooth National Forest land and resource management plan. At that time, numerous comments stated that the existing standard for the size of outbuildings is inadequate, and they expressed support for revising the outbuilding standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Areas; Roadless Area Conservation; Applicability to National Forest System Lands in Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is publishing a proposed rule to seek further public comment on possible amendments to 36 CFR 294.14(d) that would permanently exempt the Tongass and Chugach National Forests in Alaska from the scope and applicability of the Roadless Area Conservation final rule (the "roadless rule") published in the Federal Register on January 12, 2001, which established prohibitions on road construction, road reconstruction, and timber harvesting in inventoried roadless areas at 36 CFR part 294 (66 FR 3244).  Since publication, the roadless rule has been challenged by nine lawsuits filed in six judicial districts, including the Alaska district, and in four Federal circuits.  On May 10, 2001, a Federal judge issued a preliminary injunction order preventing the Department from implementing the roadless rule.  On April 14, 2003, the injunction order was reversed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  On July 14, 2003, a Federal district judge in the Tenth Circuit issued a permanent injunction order which is now pending appeal before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. 

On June 10, 2003, a settlement agreement was signed between the U.S. Department of Justice and the State of Alaska to resolve the suit filed by the State of Alaska and other plaintiffs.  As required by the settlement agreement, an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published on July 15, 2003 (68 FR 41864). This proposed rule is being prepared after evaluation and consideration of public comments received on the advance notice of proposed rulemaking published in July.
As further stipulated by the settlement agreement, the agency also published on July 15, 2003 (68 FR 41865), a proposed amendment to the roadless rule that would exclude the Tongass National Forest from its applicability until USDA promulgates a revised final roadless rule as announced in the July 10, 2001, advance notice of proposed rulemaking (66 FR 35918).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 12, 2001, the Forest Service published the Roadless Area Conservation final rule (the "roadless rule") in the Federal Register establishing prohibitions on road construction, road reconstruction, and timber harvesting in inventoried roadless areas at 36 CFR part 294, subpart B (66 FR 3244).  Since publication, the roadless rule has been challenged by nine lawsuits filed in six judicial districts and in four Federal circuits.  On July 14, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming issued a permanent injunction order enjoining the Department from implementing the roadless rule.  That ruling has been appealed.
 
Due to the continued legal uncertainty of providing protection for roadless areas through the application of the roadless rule, the agency is proposing a separate procedural rule at 36 CFR part 231 that will set out an administrative process for Governors of States to petition the Secretary of Agriculture to establish or adjust management direction for roadless within their State. Such petitions would be evaluated and, if agreed to, addressed by the Secretary in subsequent rulemaking on a State-by-State basis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use and Prohibitions of Motor Vehicles Off National Forest System Roads</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is publishing an advance notice of proposed rule that would amend 36 CFR part 295 to update language in current usage, coordinate the rule with other Forest Service programs that have been updated or are in the process of being updated to complement those changes, and incorporate current guidance on off-highway vehicle management.  The proposed changes would also clarify definitions and direction, and improve consistency in management of off-highway vehicles on National Forest System lands in an effort to blend broad agency policy with local decisionmaking.  These changes would ensure that collaborative efforts at the local level are integrated into decisionmaking.

The proposed rule would also amend 36 CFR part 261 to update language in current usage, consistent with the proposed changes in 36 CFR part 295, and to add prohibitions not currently covered in existing regulations that would clarify the management and use of off-highway vehicles on National Forest System lands.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grazing Permit Administration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Updated national direction is needed to ensure the agency is both current and consistent in working with grazing permittees in all Forest Service Regions.  The Forest Service is  proposing to issue amendments to certain chapters and sections of Forest Service Manual (FSM) title 2200, Rangeland Management, and to all chapters of Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 2209.13, Grazing Permit Administration.  The last substantive amendments to both FSM 2200 and FSH 2209.13 were made in 1985.  Clarifications and adjustments in policy are necessary to respond to changing needs of both the Forest Service and the livestock industry and to make the agency's policy current with legislation, court decisions, and agency management.  The Forest Service has determined that two chapters in FSH 2209.13 require public notice and comment before the amendments can be finalized:  chapter 10, Permits With Term Status, and chapter 20, Grazing Agreements.  Both chapters contain substantive changes to agency operating procedures that affect how the Forest Service does business with permittees, grazing associations, and applicants for livestock grazing authorizations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Revision of Timber Sale Contracts (FS-2400-6 and FS-2400-6T)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to revise timber sale contracts FS-2400-6 for scaled sales procedures and FS-2400-6T for tree measurement timber sale procedures.  A notice with request for public comment is being published in the Federal Register to seek public input on the proposed changes to these contracts, which include: (1) Clarifying the remedies available when contracts are suspended, modified, or terminated for environmental reasons; (2) incorporating special provisions that are required by the National Forest Management Act and Forest Service regulations at 36 CFR part 223;  (3) correcting inconsistencies and clarifying ambiguous language in the existing contract provisions; and (4) making organizational and editorial changes intended to eliminate duplicative and unnecessary provisions.  These proposed contracts will be available for public review electronically via the Internet, as well as in paper copy at the Forest and Rangeland Staff office.  Public comments received will be considered in the preparation of the final revised timber sale contracts.

These timber sale contracts were originally brought into use in the early 1970s. Contract revisions were made to FS-2400-6 in September 1973 and to FS-2400-6T in October of 1973.  From that time until July 2001, new legislation and policy changes were incorporated into these contracts by adding new provisions and making existing provisions nonapplicable. There is now a need to reduce the complexity of the contracts, make the above changes part of the standard contracts, and include needed changes that affect the rights and obligations of the Forest Service and purchasers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sale and Disposal of National Forest Timber; Cancellation of Timber Sale Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is issuing a final rule to revise current Agency regulations regarding cancellation of timber sale contracts, permits, and other such instruments authorizing the sale or harvest of timber or other forest products.  This rule is needed to clarify when, why, and by whom contracts may be cancelled to remove redundant provisions and to provide a new formula for compensation when the Government must cancel timber sale contracts.  The Forest Service takes every precaution before authorizing a particular activity on National Forest System lands to ensure that its authorization conforms with existing laws and with existing conditions on the ground at the time of the authorization.  The current regulations place an inappropriate amount of financial liability on the Forest Service when the agency must, for reasons of public policy, judicial decision, or statutory direction, cancel a timber sale contract or permit.  The regulatory changes are necessary because the Forest Service is unable to continue bearing the majority of the financial risk and burden of contract cancellations.  This rule would more reasonably allocate the risk between the Government and private parties. Establishing these reasonable limits to the Government's exposure to financial liability and burden of risk in the event of contractual changes or contract cancellations is critical to protecting the public's financial interests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule, as authorized by the Mineral Leasing Act and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, would provide for recovering costs associated with processing applications for special use authorizations to use and occupy National Forest System (NFS) lands and with monitoring compliance with these special use authorizations.  The action is needed to provide timely reviews and evaluations of special use applications; to ensure that forest resources are adequately protected; and to ensure that holders comply with the terms and conditions of their authorization.  Promulgation of this rule would comply with requirements of OMB Circular A-27, section 7, which directs that user charges be instituted through promulgation of agency regulations implementing the authority for Federal agencies to recover costs under the Independent Officers Appropriations Act (IOAA).  The rule would also respond to recommendations in GAO reports RCED-96-84 (April 1996) and RCED 97-16 (December 1996) that the Forest Service (1) operate its special uses program in a more cost-efficient and businesslike manner and (2) promulgate regulations allowing the Agency to exercise existing authority to recover from applicants and holders the Agency's costs to process special-use applications and monitor compliance with those authorizations. This rule would also make Forest Service procedures and fees related to cost recovery consistent with the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) rules at 43 CFR parts 2800, 2880, and 2930.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Cost reimbursement for processing special use applications and administration of special use authorizations was originally included under RIN 0596-AA36. All provisions pertaining to the special use application and administration process were merged into the final rule published November 30, 1998 (63 FR 65950, RIN 0596-AB35).

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is issuing a final rule to provide for extension of National Forest System (NFS) timber sale contracts when such an extension will permit the prompt removal and utilization of non-NFS timber damaged by catastrophic events. This rule defines the responsibilities of the parties for requesting and approving such extensions and specify when such extensions should be approved. This rule also allows 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.  This rule provides the regulatory foundation for extending existing contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Environmental Policy Act Documentation Needed for Certain Special Uses Permit Actions (Final Interim Directive to 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 is adding 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 gives 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. 

The proposed policy, published September 20, 2001 (66 FR 48412), also contained a proposed revision to section 30.3 to clarify documentation that is needed for a categorical exclusion when extraordinary circumstances exist. This revision to section 30.3 regarding extraordinary circumstances was incorporated as a separate action in RIN 0596-AB94, and the final policy was published August 23, 2002 (67 FR 54622).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Land Uses; Special Uses Requiring 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 plans to promulgate a final rule at 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 addressed by other Forest Service regulations; for example, those governing the disposal of timber (part 223); minerals (part 228); and the grazing of livestock (part 222). The study also concluded that section 251.50(e) should be added 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(d) would clarify requirements regarding authorizations for special uses involving National Forest System roads and trails.  The current regulation requires the issuance of closure orders for regulation of special uses on NFS roads and trails.  The revised regulation would eliminate the necessity of individual closure orders for common public service permit programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Forest Products and Forest Botanical Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service proposes to promulgate regulations for managing special forest products and forest botanical products. The regulations will guide the Forest Service in the administration of the broader category of special forest products. The proposed rule also implements Public Law 106-113, which authorizes a pilot program of charges and fees for harvest of forest botanical products (Appropriations Act H.R. 3423, section 339, Forest Botanical Products). Forest botanical products include products, such as herbs, berries, seeds, and wildflowers that are not wood products. The intended effect of this rule is to give guidance and consistency for the sustainability and sale of special forest products including forest botanical products.]]></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.  The Forest Service is adopting final regulations at 36 CFR part 251, subpart B, and final policy in the Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2347 and FSM 2721, and Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 2709.11, section 33, and FSH 5409.12, chapter 6, that would provide the regulatory framework and Agency management direction necessary to implement the provisions of the act.  The proposed policies and proposed rule were published on May 13, 2003 (68 FR 25748), with a 60-day comment period ending August 11, 2003.  The proposed rule and proposed policy included provisions for establishing a base annual fee and a new appraisal cycle, conducting inventories of recreation residence lots, and setting out appeal and judicial review processes and appraisal guidelines for appraising the fee simple value of recreation residence lots.  An estimated 2,500 comments were received, the majority of which were submitted by permit holders or organized associations of permit holders.  The comments are being analyzed and will be considered in development of the final rule and policy.  There are approximately 15,000 recreation residences nationally on NFS lands.  Recreation residence permit holders and their immediate families and friends are particularly interested in the outcome of this rule and policymaking, as well as a few specific members of Congress.  A cursory review of the comments received suggests that most of the substantive concerns either can be accommodated with minor changes in the draft policy revisions and rulemaking or, alternatively, can be addressed in the preamble to the final rulemaking and policymaking documents.  The general nature of the comments do suggest the need for major, substantive changes to the draft of the proposed rule and policy, as published on May 13, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The President's environmental program includes natural resource planning for all units of the National Forest System.  In support of that effort, the Forest Service is adopting a final rule at 36 CFR part 219, subpart A, to revise the land management planning rule, published on November 9, 2000, governing how future changes in land management planning direction will be made and how those changes will be documented.  The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on December 6, 2002, for a 90-day public comment period.   The comment period was extended 30 days to April 7, 2003.  The proposed rule continued to support the major principles of the 2000 rule, which are the underlying concepts of sustainability, monitoring and evaluation, collaboration, and use of science.  The proposed rule, however, improved the clarity of the 2000 rule, characterized planning as a continuous process, offered two options to provide for diversity of plant and animal communities, and provided for plan analysis to be categorically excluded from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation.  The Agency received over 195,000 comments on the proposed rule.  Consideration of these comments should lead to a final rule that better enables the Forest Service to be good land stewards by providing the clean air and water and wildlife protection the public expects.  This goal would be accomplished by shifting from a complex, cumbersome, and expensive up front planning process, to a streamlined process that better involves the public, and shifts resources to land management and continual monitoring and evaluation.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 (88 Stat. 476 et seq.), as amended by the National Forest Management Act of 1976 (NFMA) (90 Stat. 2949 et seq.), requires the Secretary to promulgate regulations under the principles of the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 that set out the process for the development and revision of land management plans (16 U.S.C. 1604(g)).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Forest Service considered and compared the final planning rule to both the 1982 and the 2000 planning regulations.  Land management plans prepared under the 1982 rule were difficult to prepare, took 5 to 7 years to complete, and required detailed analytical requirements that were of limited use due to the high degree of uncertainty of the projections.  The 2000 planning rule requires a number of detailed analytical requirements, lacks clarity regarding many of these requirements, is not flexible enough, and lacks recognition of the limits of agency budgets and personnel needed to implement it.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Preliminary estimates of the anticipated costs and benefits focused on key activities in land and resource management planning for which costs could be estimated under the 1982, 2000, and final planning rules.  Based on costs that can be quantified, this final rule is estimated to save an average of $9.8 million annually, compared to the expected costs under the 1982 rule, and about $36 million per year compared to the 2000 rule.  The discounted value of the cost savings over the 15-year planning horizon is estimated to be $92 million for the final rule when compared to the 1982 rule and approximately $324 million when compared to the 2000 rule.

In addition to the anticipated cost savings, numerous intangible benefits are expected to result from the final rule.  The overall goal of the final rule is to develop a planning framework that fosters stewardship of the National Forest System lands and improves the likelihood of contributing toward the ecological, social, and economic components of sustainability.  Better decisions provide sustained goods, services, and values without impairment of the health of the land.  These improvements will be based on better collaboration with the public, improved monitoring and evaluation, integration of science, and a more flexible process that reduces the burden on both the public and the Agency.  A planning process that addresses public concerns and leads to improved health of the public lands has value beyond the cost savings estimated in the analysis.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The final planning rule will help to reduce the risks of natural resource management on National Forest System lands by strengthening the Forest Service's ability to respond quickly and effectively to a variety of continually changing issues, such as the development of new scientific information, new listing of species, the effects of wildfire, changes in demographics or the economy, and unforeseen effects of plan implementation activities.  The final planning rule allows for a more flexible approach to planning and reducing risks by providing for a continual and adaptive planning cycle involving on-the-ground project proposal, analysis, and implementation; monitoring and evaluation; and plan adjustment.  The final planning rule would allow flexible implementation of projects to avoid and reduce risks; for example, projects to implement the Agency's hazardous fuels reduction program.]]></RISKS>

        <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, 2001, the Chief conducted an internal review of the new road management policy. As a consequence, the Agency 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. Upon issuance, the Agency gave notice in the Federal Register with a request for comment.  The Agency later determined that the interim requirements of the road management policy limiting road construction in inventoried roadless and contiguous unroaded areas were not relevant to the road management policy; rather, these requirements should be dealt with in the context of overall management planning of roadless areas.  Moreover, field units were generally finding it difficult to determine how to define and map contiguous unroaded areas consistently.  In some recent cases, the interim requirements were resulting in EIS's for minimal road construction or reconstruction along the edge of inventoried roadless areas and contiguous unroaded areas, with resultant delays in project decisions.  Therefore, the Agency issued a second ID effective December 14, 2001 (ID No. 7710-2001-3), to rescind these interim requirements from FSM chapter 7710 and simultaneously issued a third ID (ID No. 1920-2001-1) to relocate these roadless requirements to FSM chapter 1920, Land and Resource Management Planning.  Although the second ID was immediately effective, a notice with a request for comment was published in the Federal Register on December 20, 2001 (66 FR 65796). The direction previously issued in ID No. 7710-2001-3 was reissued, without substantive change, as ID No. 7710-2003-1, effective June 12, 2003. Comments on ID No. 7710-2001-1 and ID No. 7710-2001-3 have been considered in developing the next appropriate steps concerning the road management policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Forest Land Enhancement Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is adopting a final rule for the implementation of the Forest Land Enhancement Program (FLEP) authorized in the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-171) through an amendment to the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act (16 U.S.C. 2103).  The FLEP program was implemented through an interim final rule published on June 9, 2003 (68 FR 25748).  The final rule focuses on guidance needed to allow State forestry agencies to implement the program throughout its existence.  In developing the final rule, the Department is considering comments on the interim rule, information and experience gained during the first year of implementing FLEP, and consultation with other State and Federal government agencies.  

The goals of FLEP are to: (1) enhance the productivity of timber, fish and wildlife habitat, soil and water quality, wetland, recreational resources, and aesthetic values of private nonindustrial private forestland (NIPF); and (2) establish, manage, maintain, enhance, and restore such forests.  The act requires establishing a coordinated and cooperative Federal, State, and local grants program directed to achieve sustainable forestry; assisting owners of nonindustrial private forestlands to more actively manage these lands and related resources; and encouraging such owners to use State, Federal, and private sector resource management expertise, financial assistance, and educational programs.  The FLEP program replaces two previous conservation incentives programs:  The Stewardship Incentive Program (SIP) and the Forestry Incentives Program (FIP). It is very similar to other cooperative grant and agreement programs that the Forest Service has managed over the past 50 years.

Program funding is expected to remain at an average of about $20 million annually over a 5-year period (FY 2003 through FY 2007).  The FLEP program is administered by the Forest Service through State forestry agencies and the Forest Service State and Private Forestry (S&PF) Deputy Area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Forest System Land and Resource Management Planning; Extension of Compliance Deadline for Site-Specific Projects</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 9, 2000 (65 FR 67514), a rule substantially revising National Forest System land and resource management planning was adopted.  Previous planning regulations to implement the National Forest Management Act applied only to the development, revision, and amendment of land and resource management plans. The November 2000 rule also applied to site-specific project decisions. Section 219.35 of that rule provided for the transition from the 1982 planning rule to the 2000 rule. November 9, 2003, is the date by which all site-specific decisions must be in conformance with the provisions of the 2000 rule. However, early in 2001, the Department determined that the November 2000 planning regulation needed to be revised in order to improve its implementation by field personnel. On December 6, 2002, the Forest Service published a proposed planning rule (67 FR 72770). Like the 1982 planning regulation, this proposed rule would not apply the provisions of the planning regulations to site-specific project decisions. The revised planning rule was not completed by November 9, 2003; thus the Department needs to extend the compliance deadline in 36 CFR 219.35(d) regarding site-specific project decisions until the adoption of a final planning rule. This action is needed immediately because planning for site-specific projects often begins at least 6 to 9 months before an anticipated decision. It is necessary to grant relief to field units of the National Forest System from being held to the provisions of the 2000 rule for site-specific project decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is developing proposed interim directives to set out the detailed policy and procedures in Forest Service Manual 2400 and Related Handbooks needed to implement the provisions for stewardship contracting projects authorized for a period of 10 years by section 323 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Pub. L. 108-7).  The expanded authority for these projects would provide for collaboration with the States and local communities; opportunities for local communities to respond to contract proposals; agreements and contracts with private or other public entities; the exchange of goods for services; use of receipts for land restoration and enhancement efforts; and contract awards based on "best value."

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Areas; Roadless Area Conservation; Applicability to the Tongass National Forest, Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is adopting a final rule at 36 CFR 294.14(d) to exempt the Tongass National Forest in Alaska from the scope and applicability of the prohibitions in the Roadless Area Conservation final rule (the "roadless rule") until USDA promulgates a revised final roadless rule as announced in the July 10, 2001, advance notice of proposed rulemaking (66 FR 35918). This final rule will provide a more balanced approach for the management of roadless areas on the Tongass National Forest.  

On January 12, 2001, the Forest Service published the roadless rule in the Federal Register establishing prohibitions on road construction, road reconstruction, and timber harvesting in inventoried roadless areas at 36 CFR part 294, subpart B (66 FR 3244).  Since publication, the roadless rule has been challenged by nine lawsuits filed in six judicial districts, including the Alaska district, and in four Federal circuits.  On May 10, 2001, a Federal judge issued a preliminary injunction order preventing the Department from implementing the roadless rule.  On April 14, 2003, the injunction order was reversed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  On July 14, 2003, a Federal district judge in the Tenth Circuit issued a permanent injunction order which is now pending appeal before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. 
    
On June 10, 2003, a settlement agreement was signed by the United States and the State of Alaska to resolve the suit filed by the State of Alaska and other plaintiffs.  As required by the settlement agreement, a proposed rule was published on July 15, 2003 (68 FR 41865), with a 30-day comment period ending August 14, 2003.  Subsequently, a notice was published on August 18, 2003, extending the comment period to September 2, 2003 (68 FR 49395).  In developing this final rule, the Department is reviewing the public comments received on the proposed rule, along with the existing information, including the 2003 Supplemental EIS for the Revised Tongass Forest Plan, and evaluating the existing situation in Southeast Alaska.  
    
As further stipulated by the settlement agreement, the agency also published on July 15, 2003 (68 FR 41864), an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to seek public comment on a proposal that would permanently exclude National Forest System lands in Alaska (that is, the Tongass and Chugach National Forests) from the prohibitions established by the roadless rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Delegation of Authority To Approve Free Use by Individuals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is developing an interim final rule to revise the current regulations at 36 CFR 223.8 to increase the value of timber and special forest products on National Forest System lands made available for free use.  The current regulation, which has not been updated for over 30 years, provides for free use of timber up to $20 in value in any one fiscal year.  Forest Supervisors may grant permits of material not exceeding $100 in value.  Regional Foresters may approve permits for larger amounts , and in times of emergency may delegate authority to Forest Supervisors for up to $500 in value.  Prior approval is required by the Chief if the amount  exceeds $5,000 in value.  The market value of timber and special forest products has increased, however, and therefore, the regulation needs to be updated to reflect current values.  This increase will authorize Forest Supervisors and Regional Foresters to provide free use of timber and special forest products up to $5,000 and $10,000 in value respectively.  

The interim final rule will be published in the Federal Register with request for public comment.  Comments received will be considered in the development of the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Preference for Visitor Service; Alaska National Forest Conservation System Units</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is issuing a final rule to establish procedures by which eligible persons may receive preferences authorized by statute in the issuance of special use permits to conduct revenue-producing visitor services within Conservation System Units on the National Forests in Alaska.  This regulation is necessary to implement section 1307 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA; 16 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.).  Lands administered by the Forest Service comprise approximately 5 percent of the Federal lands affected by this statute; therefore, in preparing this rule, the Forest Service has coordinated with two agencies of the Department of the Interior (USDI) in order to provide consistency in the implementation of ANILCA.  The final rule for the National Park Service was published on October 18, 1996 (61 FR 54334, revising 36 CFR part 13), and the final rule for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was published on January 14, 1997 (62 FR 1838, revising 50 CFR part 36).  While the USDI received many comments on its proposed rules, the Forest Service received only four comments on its proposed rule, which was published on April 25, 1997 (62 FR 20140).  After considering all public comments, the Forest Service has revised the rule to clarify that statutory rights granted by ANILCA take precedence over the Forest Service outfitter and guide policy regarding reissuance of permits to priority-use holders without competition; other changes made in this final rule are primarily minor and non-substantive.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Environmental Policy Act Documentation Needed For Limited Timber Harvest on National Forest System Lands (Forest Service Handbook 1909.15, Chapter 30)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service plans to issue a final interim directive to the Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.15, chapter 30, which addresses categorical exclusions from requirements to prepare environmental disclosure documents. The proposal would add three categorical exclusions to section 31.2 that are applicable to small timber harvesting projects. These categorical exclusions will not apply where there are extraordinary circumstances, such as adverse effects on threatened and endangered species or their designated critical habitat, wilderness areas, inventoried roadless areas, wetlands, and archeological or historic sites. The intended effect is to facilitate the implementation of limited timber harvest projects that do not have significant effects on the human environment.

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 hazardous 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 final interim directive 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, and insect and disease outbreaks. These categorical exclusions would be added to the existing categories for categorical exclusions in chapter 30 of FSH 1909.15. 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Notice, Comment, and Appeal Procedures for Projects and Activities on National Forest System Lands</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. Experience has 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 final rule revises the appeal regulations to bring better focus to public participation and to improve consistency in the application of this regulation.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Availability of Fabric and Yarn</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule implements certain provisions of the Trade and Development Act of 2000 (the Act).  Title I of the Act (the African Growth and Opportunity Act or AGOA) and title II of the Act (the United States--Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act or CBTPA) and title XXXI of the Trade Act of 2002 (the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act, or ATPDEA) provide for quota and duty-free treatment for qualifying apparel products from designated beneficiary countries.  AGOA and CBTPA authorize quota and duty-free treatment for apparel articles that are both cut (or knit-to-shape) and sewn or otherwise assembled in one or more designated beneficiary countries from yarn or fabric that is not formed in the United States or a beneficiary country, provided it has been determined that such yarn or fabric cannot be supplied by the domestic industry in commercial quantities in a timely manner.  The President has delegated to the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (the Committee), which is chaired by Commerce, the authority to determine whether yarn or fabric cannot be supplied by the domestic industry in commercial quantities in a timely manner under the AGOA, the ATPDEA, and the CBTPA, and has authorized the Committee to extend quota and duty-free treatment to apparel of such yarn or fabric.  The proposed rule provides the procedure for interested parties to submit a request alleging that a yarn or fabric cannot be supplied by the domestic industry in commercial quantities in a timely manner, the procedure for public comments, and relevant factors that will be considered in the Committee's determination.  The proposed rule also outlines the factors to be considered by the Committee in extending quota- and duty-free treatment.]]></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>

The proposed rule would amend ITA regulations, due to changes in the industry, by updating the watch assembly requirements for purposes of the duty refund.  We also propose amending 15 CFR 303 to reflect the new designations that were created with the addition of the Department of Homeland Security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fleet Capacity Control for U.S. Troll Albacore Tuna Fishing in Canadian Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will implement limits on albacore tuna fishing by vessels of the United States in Canadian waters pursuant to the U.S.-Canada Albacore Fishing Treaty.  In accordance with recent amendments to that Treaty, the United States is obliged to ensure that U.S. vessels do not fish for more than a set number of days each year 2003-2005.  This will require methods to monitor fishing effort and notify U.S. vessel owners/operators of the date on which further U.S. fishing must cease.  In turn, U.S. vessel operators/owners will be required to furnish reports of entry to and exit from Canadian waters and to provide points of contact for notices of closures.  In addition, the Treaty requires that the United States exchange fishery data each year.  The rule will require maintenance and submission of logbooks of fish catch and fishing effort in Canadian and U.S. waters each year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Weakfish: Increase in Incidental Catch per Amendment 4</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) has proposed regulations that would modify management restrictions in the Federal weakfish fishery in a manner consistent with the recommendations made by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission in Amendment 4 of the Commission's Interstate Fisheries Management Plan for the species.  In short, the proposed Federal regulatory change would increase the permitted non-directed incidental catch of the species from 150 pounds to 300 pounds per day or trip.  Analysis of  the best available data suggests that the proposed increase would not alter current fishing practices or effort, or increase the  number of weakfish caught - the 150 pound increase simply converts 150 pounds of weakfish, which would be caught and discarded at sea dead regardless, into 150 pounds of weakfish caught and landed.  Accordingly, no significant impact is found and the environmental analysis that would support such a finding is set forth herein]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[On December 28, 2001, a decision was rendered by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on a lawsuit brought by the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF), Center for Marine Conservation, National Audubon Society and Natural Resources Defense Council against NMFS (CLF v. Evans, Case No. 00CVO1134, (D.D.C., December 28, 2001)).  The lawsuit alleged that Framework Adjustment 33 to the FMP violated the overfishing, rebuilding, and bycatch provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C 1801, et seq.) as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA).  The court granted plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment on all counts, but did not impose a remedy.  Instead, the court asked the parties to the lawsuit to propose remedies consistent with the court's findings.  Shortly thereafter, several additional parties were allowed to intervene in the lawsuit for purposes of proposing the appropriate remedy.  These parties (intervenors) included the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, and three industry groups.  Additional background on the lawsuit is contained in the preambles to the interim rules published by NMFS on April 29, 2002 (67 FR 21140), May 6, 2002 (67 FR 30331), and June 5, 2002 (67 FR 38608), and in the proposed interim rule published July 1, 2002 (67 FR 44139).

From April 5-9, 2002, plaintiffs, defendants and intervenors engaged in court-sponsored mediation to try to agree upon mutually acceptable short-term and long-term solutions to present to the court as an appropriate remedy.  Although these discussions ended with no agreement, several of the parties continued mediation and filed a settlement agreement with the court on April 16, 2002.  In addition to NMFS, the parties signing the agreement include CLF, which is one of the plaintiff conservation groups, all four state intervenors, and two of three industry intervenors.

In order to ensure the implementation of protective management measures by May 1, 2002, NMFS, notwithstanding that the court had then not yet issued its remedial order, filed an interim final rule with the Office of the Federal Register on April 25, 2002, for publication on April 29, 2002.  The interim final rule that was published on April 29, 2002, implemented measures identical to the short-term measures contained in the settlement agreement filed with the court.

On April 26, 2002, the court issued a remedial order that ordered the promulgation of two specific sets of management measures--one to be effective from May 1, 2002, to July 31, 2002, and the other from August 1, 2002, until promulgation of Amendment 13 to the FMP.  The court-ordered measures for the first set of measures were, in the majority, identical with those contained in the settlement agreement and the measures contained in NMFS' April 29, 2002, interim final rule.  However, the court-ordered measures included additional provisions and an accelerated schedule of effectiveness for all measures, which were not contained in either the settlement agreement or the April 29, 2002, interim final rule.  According to the court, these additional provisions were included to strengthen the settlement agreement provisions "in terms of reducing overfishing and minimizing bycatch without risking the lives of fishers or endangering the future of their communities and their way of life."  Remedial order, p. 13.  Further, the court ordered that NMFS publish in the Federal Register, as quickly as possible, an "amended interim rule and an amended second interim rule" that would "include the departures from the Settlement Agreement incorporated in the Remedial Order."  To comply with the court order, NMFS published a second interim final rule (amended interim rule) to modify the measures implemented through the April 29, 2002, interim final rule and to accelerate the effectiveness of the gear restrictions, as required by the remedial order.  Because the court's remedial order was not entirely consistent with the terms of the settlement agreement, NMFS, CLF, and the intervenors filed motions for reconsideration with the court requesting that the court implement the terms of the settlement agreement without change.

On May 23, 2002, the court issued an order, in the case of CLF v. Evans, granting the motions for reconsideration on the basis that "the important changes made by the Court in the complex and carefully crafted Settlement Agreement Among Certain Parties ... would produce unintended consequences."  The court ordered that the settlement agreement be implemented according to its terms; that the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) publish an interim rule, effective no later than June 1, 2002, to reduce overfishing in the first quarter of the 2002-2003 fishing year; that the Secretary publish another interim rule to be effective no later than August 1, 2002, to reduce overfishing beginning with the second quarter of the 2002-2003 fishing year, and continuing until implementation of Amendment 13 to the FMP, which complies with the overfishing, rebuilding, and bycatch provisions of the SFA; and that, no later than August 22, 2003, the Secretary promulgate such an amendment to the FMP.  The court further ordered that the Secretary shall make public the most current scientific information to enable completion of the FMP Amendment no later than December 1, 2002, provide at least 5 percent observer coverage, and inform the court of the steps taken to comply with the order no later than September 5, 2002.  The order relating to observer coverage differs from the settlement agreement in that it requires a minimal level of 5 percent at first and 10 percent by May 1, 2003, unless it can be established by scientific information that an increase is not necessary.  NMFS implemented a program to provide at least 5 percent observer coverage in the multispecies fishery for the period August 1, 2002, to April 30, 2003, and thereafter, at a level of at least 5 percent depending on statistical need.

In response to the May 23, 2002, court order, on May 31, 2002, NMFS filed an interim final rule with the Federal Register on June 5, 2002 (67 FR 38608) that implemented regulations for the June 1 through July 31, 2002, period, consistent with the settlement agreement.  On July 1, 2002, NMFS published a proposed interim rule (67 FR 44139) for measures ordered by the court to be effective August 1, 2002; public comments were accepted through July 16, 2002.  The interim final rule published August 1, 2002 (67 FR 50292) implemented management measures for the period August 1, 2002, through the implementation of Amendment 13, in accordance with the settlement agreement and the remedial order.  Amendment 13, which will bring the FMP into full compliance with the SFA, is under development by NMFS and the New England Fishery Management Council (Council) and was intended to be implemented by August 22, 2003.  The interim final rule is an interim action necessary to reduce overfishing consistent with and pursuant to section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act while Amendment 13 is being developed.  Under the provisions of section 305(c)(3) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, interim measures shall remain in effect for not more than 180 days after the date of publication, and may be extended by publication in the Federal Register for one additional period of not more than 180 days, provided that the public has had an opportunity to comment on the interim measures.  On January 22, 2003, NMFS published a notice of continuation of these regulations (68 FR 2919) announcing the continuation of the management measures to reduce overfishing through July 27, 2003.  NMFS and two of the plaintiffs filed a motion with the court requesting an extension of the August 22, 2003, implementation schedule until May 1, 2004.  The court granted an extension of the court-ordered timeline for Amendment implementation until May 1, 2004.  On April 24, 2003, NMFS published a proposed emergency action (68 FR 20097) requesting comments on measures to ensure that the regulations governing the Northeast Multispecies Fishery continued to be in compliance with the court's order.  On June 27, 2003, NMFS published a final emergency rule (68 FR 38234) continuing most of the measures contained in the settlement agreement ordered by the court.  This emergency action is necessary to ensure that there exist measures to reduce overfishing until implementation of Amendment 13.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The regulations implementing measures contained in the Northeast Multispecies FMP are governed by the Magnuson-Stevens Act.  The Magnuson-Stevens Act mandates that action be taken if the size of a fish stock declines below a specified level or if the annual harvest rate is too high.  Although the numbers of fish of many of the 15 groundfish species (20 stocks) have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rate of increase must be accelerated to comply with the law, and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced.  As a result of the CLF v. Evans, a Federal judge ruled that the Northeast Multispecies FMP does not comply with the Magnuson-Stevens Act and ordered that Amendment 13 measures must bring the FMP into compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Act.  In addition to this lawsuit, Amendment 13 includes alternatives to address the court-ordered remedy in the case of AOC v. Daley.  In this case the Court ruled that elements of the amendment adopted to comply with the essential fish habitat provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act were not in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act.  Therefore, Amendment 13 will bring the Northeast Multispecies FMP into compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Act and respond to the requirements of the court orders in the lawsuits of CLF v. Evans and AOC v. Daley.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The principal objectives of Amendment 13 include rebuilding overfished stocks, ending overfishing, reducing unused effort in the fishery, addressing administrative issues, maintaining flexibility in the fishery, reducing bycatch, and minimizing the impact of the fishery on fish habitat and protected species such as whales and turtles.  There are three major categories of impacts considered for each measure--biological, economic, and social impacts.  The impacts on bycatch, habitat, and enforcement are also considered.  The public has opportunities to provide comments on the proposed alternatives under consideration.  On August 29, 2003, the Notice of Availability (NOA) for the draft supplemental environmental impact statement was published in the Federal Register.  This document provides an analysis of alternatives under consideration in Amendment 13.  This document also contains a preliminary regulatory economic evaluation of the alternatives.  The comment period on this document closes on October 15, 2003.  The public will also be provided with an opportunity to provide comments during formal Secretarial review of Amendment 13.  An NOA for the Amendment and the proposed rule will be published in the Federal Register with comment periods specific to each.  The Secretary will approve, disapprove, or partially approve the Amendment within 30 days of the close of the comment period on the NOA.  A final rule implementing any approved portions of the Amendment will be published in the Federal Register.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Magnuson-Stevens Act is designed to realize the full potential of the fishery resources over the long term for the benefit of the Nation and the fishing industry.  The process of achieving this goal can, and does, have serious impacts on fishermen and dependent communities.  NMFS and the Council are fully aware of potential impacts from proposed management measures and work to ensure not only the long-term sustainability of groundfish resources, but also the economic vitality of New England fishing communities.  There are likely short-term costs to the New England fishing industry in order to obtain long-term benefits to all users of the groundfish resource.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) amends its regulations to implement provisions of Amendment 13 to the Northeast (NE) Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The principal objectives of Amendment 13 include measures to implement a formal rebuilding program for overfished stocks and to end overfishing on those stocks where it is occurring and to bring the FMP into full compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).  In addition, this rule implements provisions that respond to the requirements of the Court Orders in the lawsuits of Conservation Law Foundation et al. v. Donald Evans et al. (CLF v.

        <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>Revision of American Lobster Regulations for the EEZ</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act (Act), 16 U.S.C. et seq., NMFS announces that it is considering, and seeking public comment on, revisions to Federal American lobster regulations for the Exclusive Economic Zone in response to recommendations from the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to NMFS in Addenda II and III to Amendment 3 to the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for American Lobster (ISFMP).  This ANPR/NOI proposes to develop regulations relative to Addendum III to the ISFMP, and combine those with Addendum II (ANPR and NOI published May and September of 2001, respectively) into a single environmental impact statement.  Addendum II management measures would include minimum gauge size increases in five of the seven Lobster Conservation Management Areas (LCMA), lobster trap gear modifications, a four-year lobster trap reduction schedule for LCMA 3, and a logbook requirement for LCMA 3 lobster vessels.  Addendum III would further modify Addendum II's gauge increase schedule and include new management measures for the majority of the LCMAs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Fishery Management Plan for Highly Migratory Species Fisheries Off the West Coast</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would implement the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Highly Migratory Species Fisheries off the West Coast.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Comprehensive Amendment Addressing Sustainable Fisheries Act Requirements Regarding Overfishing, Bycatch, Fishing Communities and Provisions for Fishery Management Plans for the Caribbean</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes regulations to implement those provisions of the Comprehensive Amendment Addressing Sustainable Fishery Act (SFA) definitions and other required provision of the Magnuson-Stevens Act in the FMP of the U.S. Caribbean (Comprehensive SFA Amendment) that would modify and/or add framework procedures to the FMPs for reef fish, corals and reef associated plants and invertebrates, queen conch, and spiny lobster.  These FMP framework modifications/additions would allow timely modification/addition of required stock parameters and management measures related to preventing overfishing and rebuilding overfished stocks.  The intended effect is to provide a more efficient mechanism for implementation of improved estimates of stock parameters and necessary management measures as better information becomes available.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Regulatory Changes Resulting From the Amendments and Extension of the South Pacific Tuna Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would implement the regulatory changes resulting from the recently renegotiated Treaty on Fisheries between the Government of Certain Pacific Island States and the Government of the United States of America, as authorized under the South Pacific Tuna Act.  These changes include the implementation of an electronic vessel monitoring system for U.S. purse seine vessels licensed to fish within the Treaty Area.  The location information will be provided to the Forum Fisheries Agency, located in Honiara Solomon Islands, as well as NOAA Fisheries.  This rule would eliminate the prohibition of duly authorized U.S. longline vessels from fishing in the high seas areas within the Treaty Area.  Additionally, it will impose minor modifications in the various reporting requirements, as well as modify the areas of fishing allowed in the exclusive economic zones of the Solomon islands and Papua New Guinea.]]></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>Full Retention of Demersal Shelf Rockfish in Gulf of Alaska Area 650</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory rule would require full retention of demersal shelf rockfish (DSR) in the hook-and-line fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska, Regulatory Area 650.  If approved, this rule would eliminate the maximum retainable bycatch limit for DSR, and require that all DSR caught by Federally permitted vessels using fixed gear in the Southeast Outside be retained, landed, weighted, and reported. When DSR is closed to directed fishing, fishermen would be allowed to retain the proceeds from the sale of any DSR not in excess of 10 percent of the aggregate round weight equivalence of IFQ Pacific halibut and groundfish species that are landed during the same fishing trip, or 1 percent of sablefish landed.  Any DSR landed in excess of these limits could be retained for any use except sale, barter, or trade.  This could include personal consumption or donation to a nonprofit charitable organization.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Fishery Management Plan for Reef Fish Resources of Gulf of Mexico to Set 10-Year Rebuilding Plan for Red Grouper</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In October 2000, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) issued a determination that the Gulf of Mexico red grouper stock is overfished and undergoing overfishing.  This determination was based on the results of a 1999 red grouper stock assessment.  Once a stock is determined to be overfished the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council within one year to submit a plan to NMFS to end overfishing and rebuild the stock to a level capable of sustaining maximum sustainable yield on a continuing basis.  The proposed rebuilding plan contains alternatives that would implement a 10-year rebuilding plan for red grouper including a recreational and commercial shallow-water grouper closed season, recreational bag limits, movement of the commercial longline gear boundary, and a reduction of the shallow-water grouper quota by an amount consistent with a 45 percent reduction in commercial red grouper harvest.  The rebuilding plan also contains alternatives for establishing red grouper sustainable fishing parameters (e.g., maximum sustainable yield, optimum yield, maximum fishing mortality rate, minimum stock size threshold).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise several sections of regulations that pertain to permits or permit-related issues by technical edits and clarifications to existing requirements, removal of obsolete text, and clarification and simplification of text.  In addition, this rulemaking would combine the registered buyer permit with the Federal processor permit when a shoreside processor does both IFQ and groundfish. This would be accomplished by adding an endorsement to the Federal processor permit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fleet Capacity Control for U.S. Tuna Purse Seine Fisheries in the Eastern Pacific Ocean</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will implement a tuna fishery management recommendation of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), of which the United States is a party.  The rule will establish procedures by which the United States will limit tuna purse seine fleet capacity consistent with the limits in the IATTC recommendation, which has been approved by the Department of State pursuant to the Tuna Conventions Act.  Fleet capacity is necessary to prevent overcapitalization and achieve sustainable tuna fisheries in the eastern Pacific Ocean.  Excessive fleet capacity threatens the ability of the IATTC and its member states to take effective action to control overall fishing mortality and maintain healthy stocks that will support economically viable fisheries, including U.S. tuna fisheries in the region.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service has received an application from the U.S. Minerals Management Service for regulations under section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) to authorize the taking of marine mammals incidental to conducting oil and gas exploration activities by U.S. citizens in the Gulf of Mexico.  Without this authorization, the taking of marine mammals is prohibited by the MMPA.  In order to authorize the taking and issue authorizations, NMFS  must, through regulations, determine that the proposed activity will have no more than a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>&quot;Other Species&quot; CDQ Reserve Management</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory amendment would revise how NMFS manages the "other species" CDQ reserve.  Although 7.5 percent of the "other species" would still be allocated to the "other species" CDQ reserve, the reserve would not be allocated to individual CDQ groups.   "Other species" CDQ would initially be closed to directed fishing, and CDQ fishery participants would be subject to maximum retainable amount standards in relation to their "other species" CDQ catch.  Once the aggregate "other species" CDQ catch reaches the annual 7.5 percent CDQ reserve amount, "other species" CDQ would be placed on prohibited species catch status.  Further restrictions would not occur unless the harvest of "other species" by both CDQ and non-CDQ fisheries approached the overfishing level of this species complex.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Eastern Pacific Tuna Controls</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will implement tuna fishery conservation and management measures recommended by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)  and approved by the Department of State for 2003.  Historically, the IATTC takes action in June each year and the member nations (including the United States) implement the actions as soon as practicable thereafter.  Among the actions anticipated is a quota for yellowfin tuna or a similar conservation measure to limit effort (e.g., a seasonal closure) and prevent overfishing of the yellowfin stock in the eastern Pacific.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Table 14 to 50 CFR part 679 presents codes for ports of landing in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, and the western coast of  Canada.  Two codes are given for most ports.  A three-digit numerical code is used in the NMFS Alaska Region Individual Fishing Quota Program when reporting landings of Pacific halibut and sablefish.  A three-digit alphabetic code is used when reporting groundfish landings on State of Alaska, Department of Fish and Game fish tickets and in the NMFS Alaska Region Shoreside Processor Electronic Logbook Report.  This regulatory amendment  will revise table 14 numerical port codes to remove ports that have not been reported on a frequent basis and to combine certain geographically close ports under one code.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment To Change Reporting Areas 620 and 630</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The boundary between Gulf of Alaska (GOA) reporting areas 620 and 630 near Kodiak Island, Alaska, is 154 W. longitude from the south side of the Alaska Peninsula, southward to the limits of the EEZ off Alaska.  On Kodiak Island, this line of longitude bisects Alitak/Deadman Bay, a large, deep bay on the south end of the island.  Frequently, there is a great amount of pollock in this bay, and consequent pollock fishing.

When either of the two reporting areas is open to pollock fishing, and the other reporting area is closed, vessels will fish in the bay on the "open" side of the line.  The area of the Alitak/Deadman Bay of Kodiak Island would be much more efficiently enforced if the bay were either all open or all closed.  Because the mouth of the bay is totally contained within reporting area 620, the pollock found in the bay are arguably associated with the 620 stocks.

The Alitak/Deadman Bay of Kodiak Island is one body of water basically enclosed by Kodiak Island but divided superficially into two reporting areas by 154 degrees W. longitude. This division of the bay into two separate reporting areas is impractical for quota management and enforcement purposes.  The mouth of the bay is totally contained in reporting area 620 and logically should be included in area 620.  This action corrects that error by revising the descriptions of reporting areas 620 and 630 in figure 3 to part 679.

The description of reporting area 620 in figure 3 is revised by adding "except that all waters of the Alitak/Deadman Bay of Kodiak Island are included in this reporting area."  The description of reporting area 630 in figure 3 is revised by removing "Excluding Area 649" and adding in its place "Excluding all waters of the Alitak/Deadman Bay of Kodiak Island and Area 649."]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rule would lift the import prohibition on Atlantic bigeye tuna from Honduras and conditionally from St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Belize, depending on decisions at the 2003 ICCAT meeting.  Bigeye tuna imports from Sierra Leone and Bolivia would be banned.  The import prohibitions on Atlantic bluefin tuna and Atlantic swordfish would be lifted from Honduras and conditionally from Belize, depending on decisions at the 2003 ICCAT meeting.  Bluefin tuna and swordfish imports from Sierra Leone would be banned.  The proposed rule would also prohibit imports from vessels on the ICCAT negative list and would require prior notification from NOAA Fisheries before a U.S. documented or registered vessel enters a chartering arrangement with another country.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EFFECTIVE DATES section of the preamble of  67 FR 79692 (December 30, 2002) inadvertently was written in such a way that all the regulatory revisions expire on December 31, 2007.  NMFS' intention was to have all of the regulatory revisions made as permanent changes except for section 679.50.  Section 679.50 is to be effective through December 31, 2007.  This proposed rule corrects the language of the EFFECTIVE DATES section of the preamble.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Catcher Vessel Electronic Report</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Paper daily fishing logbooks are required from catcher vessels greater than 60 feet in length overall.  Requirements for completion and submittal of the logbooks exist in the regulations at 50 CFR part 679.  Recently, electronic capability to record information required in catcher vessel logbooks occurred.  Electronic logbooks or reports occurred first as a pilot project and now as a pre-approval project.  The operator of a catcher vessel has the option of using an NMFS-approved electronic version of the logbook in place of the paper logbook.  The electronic logbooks are not required by NMFS.  However, the current regulations are changed to reflect the differences in submitting data by electronic means versus paper logsheet.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Striped Bass Fisheries in the EEZ; Modification of Federal Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS announces that it is considering, and seeking public comment on, revisions to Federal Atlantic striped bass regulations for the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in response to recommendations from the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (Commission) to the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary).  The Commission recommended that the Secretary remove the moratorium on the harvest of Atlantic striped bass in the EEZ after a 13-year closure; implement a 28-inch minimum size limit for the recreational and commercial Atlantic striped bass fisheries in the EEZ; and allow states the ability to adopt more restrictive rules for fishermen and vessels licensed in their jurisdiction.  NMFS is soliciting comments with this notice regarding possible management measures and issues that NMFS should consider relative to these recommendations. 

These regulations would be developed under section 9 of the Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act, Pub. L. 100-589 (16 U.S.C. 1851 note), which requires the Secretary to promulgate regulations on fishing for Atlantic striped bass in the EEZ that the Secretary determines: (1) are consistent with the national standards in Section 301 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) (16 U.S.C. 1851); (2) are compatible with the Plan and each Federal moratorium in effect on fishing for Atlantic striped bass within the coastal waters of a coastal State; (3) ensure the effectiveness of State regulations on fishing for Atlantic striped bass within the coastal waters of a coastal State; and (4) are sufficient to assure the long-term conservation of Atlantic striped bass populations.  In developing the regulations, the Secretary is to consult with the Commission, the appropriate Regional Fishery Management Councils, and each affected Federal, State and local government entity. 

CONTROVERSY: This ANPRM is considered controversial because NOAA Fisheries expects interest from Congress, environmental groups, portions of the fishing industry, and States.  Currently, four Atlantic coast States consider Atlantic striped bass to be a game fish in their State waters and will likely be against commercial fishing in the EEZ.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 16-2  to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 16-2 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP)  would implement overfished species rebuilding plans for canary rockfish, darkblotched rockfish, lingcod, and Pacific ocean perch through a fishery management plan amendment and federal regulations.  Amendment 16-2 is intended to ensure that Pacific coast groundfish overfished species rebuilding plans meet the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act,) in particular National Standard 1 on overfishing and section 304(e), which addresses rebuilding overfished fisheries.  Amendment 16-2 is also intended to partially respond to a court order in  Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. et al., v. Donald Evans, Secretary of Commerce, et al., 168 F. Supp. 2d 1149 (N.D. Cal 2001)   in which NOAA Fisheries was ordered to implement Pacific Coast groundfish rebuilding plans as FMPs, FMP amendments, or regulations, per the Magnuson-Stevens Act.  This action has been analyzed under the National Environmental Policy Act with an Environmental Impact Statement.  NMFS has been implementing rebuilding measures for these species for several years and the agency does not consider this action significant]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consideration of a Control Date for Bottomfishing Vessels in the EEZ Around Guam and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 13, 2003, the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) adopted a "control date" of June 13, 2003, as a notice to persons contemplating entering the fisheries for bottomfish species in the U.S. exclusive economic zone around Guam and the neighboring Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This action would not impose any restrictions on the public, but is intended solely to notify persons interested in joining these fisheries after June 13 that they might be excluded if restrictions are adopted in the future under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Although the "control date" is a signal that the Council is likely to consider limiting entry to any or all of these bottomfish fisheries, neither the Council or NMFS have made any decision yet. They might decide to limit new entry to some or all of these fisheries or might decide to take no action at all.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 10 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The need for implementing a permanent monitoring program in the shore-based Pacific whiting (whiting) fishery is to provide for a full retention fishery by enabling the shore-based whiting fleet, comprised exclusively of catcher vessels, to deliver unsorted catch to processing plants.  This practice is necessary to ensure that whiting landings are of market quality, while abiding by Federal groundfish regulations and those implementing the Pacific Coast salmon and groundfish fishery management plans (FMPs).  The treatment and disposition of salmon in the groundfish trawl fisheries, specifically the shore-based whiting fishery, was last addressed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) at their October 21 to 25, 1996, meeting in San Francisco, California.  At that meeting, the Pacific Council discussed the retention of salmon in the shore-based whiting fishery and took action to maintain a viable shore-based whiting fishery by using exempted fishing permits (EFPs).  These EFPs allowed the shore-based whiting fleet to temporarily deliver unsorted catch to processing plants and provided for the monitoring of incidentally taken salmon until a permanent monitoring program could be implemented.  In keeping with the Pacific Council's recommendation, NMFS is proceeding with implementing a monitoring program for the shore-based whiting fishery.  This action will aid in the sustainable management of Pacific Coast salmon and groundfish fisheries while providing an important economic opportunity to those associated with the harvest, processing, and selling of whiting taken by the shore-based whiting fleet.]]></ABSTRACT>

It proposes to: (1) extend the marine reserves at Madison-Swanson and Steamboat Lumps for an additional six years; (2) allow surface trolling only for coastal migratory pelagics and highly migratory species (HMS) in the marine reserves during May through October; (3) prohibit all fishing in the marine reserves during November through April; and (4) prohibit the possession of reef fish within the reserves except for vessels transiting the reserves in accordance with the same requirements as implemented for the Tortugas South and North closed fishing areas (Reef Fish Amendment 19).  Additionally, the Council will send a letter to the Highly Migratory Species Division of NOAA Fisheries requesting that they implement regulations compatible with the proposals in this amendment for species under their jurisdiction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Sargassum Habitat of the South Atlantic</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulatory action implementing measures in the FMP would: (1) establish a total prohibition of all harvest and possession of Sargassum from the South Atlantic exclusive economic zone (EEZ) south of 34 degrees N latitude; (2) allow a limited annual harvest of 5,000 pound landed wet weight of Sargassum from the South Atlantic EEZ 100 miles seaward of the shore between 34 degrees N latitude and the latitude line representing the North Carolina/Virginia border during the months of November through June; (3) require an official observer to be present on each Sargassum harvesting trip; and (4) require that nets used to harvest Sargassum be constructed of four-inch stretch mesh or larger fitted to a frame no larger than 4 feet by 6 feet.  Restricting the harvest of Sargassum may result in the one small business entity ceasing business operations.  The firm qualifies as a small business entity because its gross revenues do not exceed $3.0 million annually.  The value of the 1997 harvest (the last documented year in which harvest occurred) was estimated to be $36,000.  The average annual value of the harvest from 1976 to 1997 was estimated to be $61,000.  Additionally, there is no indication that harvest has occurred since 1997.  Therefore, the SAFMC concluded that the indirect benefits of increased productivity of marine life and non-consumptive, non-use social benefits that would result from reduced harvest levels would greatly outweigh the direct impacts to the one intermittently operating business.]]></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[This action 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 regulations add a new section 600.1018 to the fishing capacity reduction framework regulations contained in subpart L to 50 CFR part 600.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Large Whale 2002 Seasonal Area Management (SAM) Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is preparing regulations to implement a SAM program for the 2002 fishing year, which was identified as a measure under the RPA that resulted from the biological opinions prepared for the Northeast multispecies, monkfish, spiny dogfish, and American lobster fisheries.  The 2002 SAM program is intended as an incremental step to provide endangered western North Atlantic right whales protection from entanglement with fishing gear used in those fisheries.  NMFS is preparing an EIS for more comprehensive SAM regulations for 2003 and beyond, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to analyze the impacts on the human environment of the management alternatives under consideration.  The measures that have been identified for the 2002 SAM proposed rulemaking requires reduction, elimination, and/or modification of certain types of fixed gear (i.e., gillnets and lobster traps) in specific areas off the Atlantic coast of the United States during times of the year when right whales are known to be present in significant concentrations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce, announces the 90-day finding for a petition to reclassify the Northern and Florida Panhandle nesting subpopulations of the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtle from threatened to endangered and designate critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  The Services find that the petition to reclassify presents substantial scientific information indicating that the petitioned action may be warranted.  The Services find that the petition to designate critical habitat did not provide substantial scientific information to warrant further review.  The Services will conduct a status review of the loggerhead turtle to determine whether the petitioned action is warranted.  To ensure a comprehensive review, the Services are soliciting information and comments pertaining to this species from any interested party.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Pacific Coast Groundfish Vessel Monitoring System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation would require vessels participating in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery off the coasts of WA, OR, and CA to carry and use vessel monitoring systems (VMS) transmitters.  This action is necessary to enhance monitoring of compliance with large-scale depth-based closures that are proposed to be used to prohibit most fishing activities across much of the continental shelf.  In addition, this action is intended to further the conservation goals and objectives of the Pacific Coast Groundfish FMP by allowing fishing to continue in areas and with gear that can harvest healthy stocks with little incidental catch of overfished and low abundance species.  This action will also require certain vessels legally fishing within the otherwise closed area to notify NMFS when they will be fishing in the closed areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The action proposes to continue management measures currently in place, which are intended to reduce overfishing on species managed under the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) while the New England Fishery Management Council completes development of Amendment 13 to the FMP.  In addition, a days-at-sea leasing program is proposed that would allow leasing of DAS by limited access permit holders in order to increase flexibility in the fishery and enable some participants to remain economically viable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would supersede Amendment 64, the regulations for which are
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2003.  Amendment 77 continues to apportion the fixed gear allocation of total allowable catch (TAC) for Pacific cod in the Bering Sea among sectors of the fixed gear fleet (i.e., hook-and-line catcher vessels, catcher processors, pot vessels, and catcher vessels under 60 feet in length).  Amendment 77 would for the first time split the pot sector, allocating the TAC
further between pot catcher vessels and pot catcher/processors.  Its implementing regulations would also change the provisions for unused portions of BSAI Pacific cod TAC allocated to the jig gear sector, which would be reallocated to catcher vessels under 60 feet in length on a seasonal basis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 16-1 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 16-1 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) would set the process and standards by which the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) will specify rebuilding plans for groundfish stocks declared overfished by the Secretary of Commerce.  Amendment 16-1 is intended to ensure that Pacific Coast groundfish overfished species rebuilding plans meet the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act,) in particular National Standard 1 on overfishing and §304(e), which addresses rebuilding overfished fisheries.  Amendment 16-1 is also intended to partially respond to a court order in Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. et al., v. Donald Evans, Secretary of Commerce, et al., 168 F. Supp. 2d 1149 (N.D. Cal 2001)  in which NOAA Fisheries was ordered to provide Pacific Coast groundfish rebuilding plans as FMPs, FMP amendments, or regulations, per the Magnuson-Stevens Act.   Amendment 16-1 will be followed by Amendment 16-2, which will implement rebuilding plans for canary rockfish, darkblotched rockfish, lingcod, and Pacific ocean perch.  This action has been analyzed under the National Environmental Policy Act with an Environmental Assessment.  This action is primarily administrative in nature and NMFS does not consider the action significant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Rule To Close the Federal Tilefish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would close the directed tilefish fishery based on projections that the overall quota of 1.995 million pounds has been reached.  A recent court decision in Hadaja v. Evans (May 15, 2003), set aside the regulations found at 50 CFR 648(a)(12) which contain the Federal permitting requirements for the tilefish fishery, including the qualification criteria for the limited access permit system.  As a result, there is currently no Federal permit requirement for a vessel that wishes to target tilefish in Federal waters.  In addition, the quota system established for the tilefish fishery is divided among three limited access permit categories, which can be closed once the quota for a particular  permit category is projected to be reached.  Because there are technically no longer separate limited access permit categories as a result of the Court's decision, NMFS no longer has the authority to close the Federal tilefish fishery once the quota is projected to be reached since that authority was based on the limited access permit categories.  As a result, NMFS is taking this emergency action under the authority of 16 USC 1824 section 305(c) to close the Federal tilefish fishery because the overall tilefish quota of 1.995 million pounds is projected to be reached prior to the end of the tilefish fishing year on October 31, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework 3 proposes a process to allow unused commercial scup quota from the Winter I period to be rolled over to the quota for the Winter II period.  Commercial possession limits for the Winter II period also would be adjusted, based on the amount rolled over.  Framework 3 also proposes a mechanism, for years when the Winter I commercial scup quota is completely harvested and the Winter I fishery is closed prior to April 15, and upon a State's written request, to allow for commercial landings of scup by State-only permitted vessels in that State that occur from April 15 through April 30 to be counted against that State's summer quota allocation.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed policy is intended to set forth the definition of fishways in accordance with the 1992 National Energy Policy Act and the procedures for the prescription of fishways.  The policy does not introduce new procedures but standardizes current practices and existing procedures for providing fishway prescriptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>American Lobster Fishery; Revisions to Lobster Trap Limits, Conservation Equivalency in New Hampshire Waters, and Clarification of Lobster Management Boundaries per Addendum 1</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would lengthen the duration of the permit required to enter a Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) site from one year to five years.  The rule would define the CCAMLR fishing season and require the use of an automated satellite-linked vessel monitoring system (VMS) for U.S. vessels harvesting Antarctic marine living resources (AMLR) in the area of the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (Convention).  The rule would also require a non-resident consignee to designate a resident agent; prohibit the importation of Dissostichus species declared as harvested in certain high seas areas outside the Convention area; prohibit the import of Dissostichus species issued a Specially Validated Dissostichus Catch Document (SVDCD); provide guidance on the disposition of AMLR seized by law enforcement personnel; and propose regulations to modify requirements for U.S. receivers and importers of Dissostichus species harvested in all waters, including those under the jurisdiction of CCAMLR.  This rule is intended to implement U.S. obligations as a member of CCAMLR and to conserve Antarctic and Patagonian toothfish by preventing and discouraging unlawful harvest and trade in these species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Restrictions on Pound Net Leaders To Enhance Turtle Protection in Virginia; Threatened and Endangered Sea Turtle Conservation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action involves prohibiting the use of all pound net leaders measuring 12 inches or greater stretched mesh and all pound nets with stringer leaders in the Virginia waters of the mainstem Chesapeake Bay and the waters of the James River, York River, and Rappahannock River downstream of the first bridge in each tributary from May 8 to June 30.  This action also includes a provision to extend the regulation if NMFS believes that sea turtles may still be vulnerable to entanglement in pound net leaders after June 30.  Should an extension of the prohibition of pound net leaders measuring 12 inches or greater stretched mesh and leaders with stringers be necessary, NMFS will file a notification with the Office of the Federal Register explicitly stating the duration of the extension.  Additionally, this action incorporates a measure that if high strandings start to occur and/or monitoring of pound net leaders reveals new information about sea turtle interactions with pound net leaders less than 12 inches stretched mesh, NMFS may determine that additional restrictions are necessary.  Should this occur, NMFS will immediately file a final rule with the Office of the Federal Register which explicitly states the mandatory gear modification as well as the affected area and the time period.  Such additional restrictions may include prohibiting the use of all pound net leaders measuring 8 inches or greater stretched mesh or prohibiting the use of all pound net leaders regardless of mesh size in the Virginia waters of the mainstem Chesapeake Bay and portions of the Virginia tributaries from the date of publication to June 30.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of Critical Habitat for Gulf Sturgeon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (collectively, the Services) jointly listed the Gulf sturgeon as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1991.  The ESA requires that critical habitat be designated for any listed species.  On June 6, 2002, the Services proposed designating critical habitat for the Gulf sturgeon.  The proposed designation includes seven freshwater and seven estuarine/marine units in the Gulf of Mexico as critical habitat. All of the units proposed as critical habitat are areas presently occupied by Gulf sturgeon during part of its life cycle.  On August 8, 2002, the Services announced the availability of a draft economic analysis of the proposed designation, and extended the public comment period for the proposal to October 7, 2002.  A final designation must be filed by February 28, 2003, per a court settlement agreement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Secretarial Amendment 2 to Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan To Set Greater Amberjack Sustainable Fisheries Act Targets and Thresholds and To Set Rebuilding Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The greater amberjack resource in the Gulf of Mexico was declared overfished by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on February 9, 2001.  This determination was based on the 2000 greater amberjack stock assessment conducted by the NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) (Turner et al. 2000) and the December 2000 Report of the Reef Fish Stock Assessment Panel (RFSAP) (GMFMC 2000).  The results of several  analyses indicated that the stock biomass was below the level needed to sustain harvest at maximum sustainable yield (MSY), with the best estimate indicating that the stock biomass was at less than half the biomass needed to sustain MSY, below the minimum level allowed under the 1998 NMFS National Standard Guidelines. 

Currently, the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) requires that overfished stocks be restored to a level of 20 percent transitional spawning potential ratio (SPR) within one and a half generation times.  A generation time is the average time it would take a year class in an unfished population to replace itself.   However, in order to comply with the requirements of the NMFS National Standard Guidelines (NSG), new biomass based targets and recovery time frame parameters need to be implemented.  The greater amberjack resource is not considered by NMFS to be undergoing overfishing at this time due to Council actions taken in 1997 and 1998 as cited in section 3.0 (1998 is the final year of data in the stock assessment).  Consequently, actions to further reduce fishing mortality are not needed at this time.

This secretarial amendment proposes no changes to the current fishing regulations for greater amberjack, but does propose to establish new biomass based targets and thresholds as well as the establishment of a ten-year rebuilding plan.  These measures would be in compliance with the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA), NMFS NSGs, and NMFS technical guidance on implementing National Standard 1 (Restrepo et al. 1998).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is amending the regulations that implement the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan, specifically with regard to the straight set of gillnets in the southeast U.S. Restricted Area in waters off the coasts of Georgia and Florida.  The intent of this proposed rule is to prohibit straight sets of gillnets at night from November 15 through March 31, annually to reduce the risk of entanglement of large whales, including the western North Atlantic right whale.  

This rule was published on March 27, 2002, in the Federal Register under RIN 0648-AN88.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>List of Fisheries for 2003</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to amend the 2003 List of Fisheries (LOF), as required by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) (16 U.S.C. 1387(c)(1)), to update the status of commercial fisheries to reflect new information on the interaction with marine mammals. Under the MMPA, NMFS must place each commercial fishery on the LOF into one of three categories based upon the level of serious injury and mortality of marine mammals that occurs incidental to that fishery.  The categorization of a fishery in the LOF determines whether participants in that fishery are subject to certain provisions of the MMPA, such as registration, observer coverage, and take reduction plan requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service has received an application from the U.S. Navy for regulations under section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA to take non-endangered seals and sea lions incidental to conducting missile launch operations from San Nicolas Island, California.  Target missile launches are used to support test and training activities associated with the Naval Air Warfare Center's Point Mugu Sea Range.  In order to authorize the taking and issue authorizations, NMFS  must, through regulations, determine that the proposed activity will have no more than a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 17 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since 1990, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) has annually developed its recommendations for specifications and management measures in a two-meeting process (usually its September and November meetings) followed by a NMFS final action published in the Federal Register and made available for public comment and correction after the effective date of the action.  In 2001, NMFS was challenged on this process in Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. v. Evans, 2001 168 F.Supp. 2d 1149 (N.D. Cal. 2001) and the court ordered NMFS to provide prior public notice and allow public comment on the annual specifications.  Amendment 17 would respond to the court's order by revising the FMP's framework for developing specifications and management measures to incorporate NMFS publication of a proposed rule for the specifications and management measures, followed by a public comment period and a final rule.  Amendment 17 would also respond to NMFS regulatory streamlining initiatives by implementing a biennial specifications and management measures process for Pacific Coast groundfish. Finally, it allows additional time for Council development of the management measures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Corrected Amendment for a Charter Vessel/Headboat Permit Moratorium Amending the Gulf Reef Fish and Coastal Pelagics FMPs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) promulgated the charter moratorium regulations (FR 67, 43558, June 28, 2002) to implement Amendment 14 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Coastal Migratory Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic and Amendment 20 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico.  However, after reviewing the administrative record, NOAA General Counsel, NOAA Fisheries and the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) determined that the amendment contained an error that did not correctly reflect the actions approved by the Council.  Thus, the regulations implementing the amendment also contained this error, and not all persons entitled to receive charter vessel/headboat (for-hire) permits under the moratorium approved by the Council would be able to receive permits under the promulgated regulations.  In order to ensure that no qualified participants in the fishery are wrongfully excluded under the moratorium, due to an error in the amendment, and to fully comply with Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requirements, NOAA Fisheries is submitting this corrected amendment for Secretarial review to address this error and, as such, to reflect the actions approved by the Council.  Specifically, this corrected amendment will eliminate one eligibility criteria in the final rule which states that the charter vessel headboat permits for Gulf coastal migratory pelagic fish or Gulf reef fish is limited to an owner of a vessel that had a valid Gulf charter vessel/headboat permit on the effective date of the final rule (July 29, 2002).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Notice of Technical Revision to Right Whale Nomenclature and Taxonomy Under the U.S. Endangered Species Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NOAA Fisheries is revising the nomenclature and taxonomy for the northern right whale, Balaena glacialis, as it was listed in the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife revised October 1, 1999.  With this revision, the northern right whale will now be classified as two separate species, the North Atlantic right whale, Eubalaena glacialis, and the North Pacific right whale, Eubalaena japonica.  This revision is being made to reflect the currently accepted nomenclature for the genus as well as the genetic distinctiveness now recognized between Pacific and Atlantic right whale populations in the northern hemisphere.   NOAA Fisheries is also updating the formerly used genus Balaena to the genus Eubalaena to conform to the scientific name currently accepted by the scientific community and supported by the scientific literature.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>West Coast Coastal Pelagic Fisheries Sardine Allocation System Change</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will implement changes in the allocation process and criteria for Pacific sardine under the Fishery Management Plan for Coastal Pelagic Species Fisheries off the West Coast.  The annual quota is set for all fishing coast wide, but the allocation system recognizes that there is seasonality in the availability of the fish to different portions of the coast.  The current allocation system is being reviewed because some interests believe it unnecessarily restricts the fisheries and prevents achievement of the full allowable harvest of Pacific sardine.  However, the current system was intended to ensure that fishing interests with long-standing involvement in the fishery would not be unfairly disadvantaged relative to new entrants into the fishery.  The fishery has recently expanded to waters off Oregon and Washington, and these new entrants would like better opportunity to ensure that the full quota will be taken each year.  Southern interests are concerned that there is too little known about the relationship between the northern component of the sardine stock and the southern component.

        <RULE_TITLE>Fishing Capacity Reduction Program in the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Establishes a fishing capacity reduction program in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery by Federal Register notice rather than regulation.  The maximum reduction cost is $46 million, funded by a $10 million appropriation and a $36 million loan to be repaid by landing fees for those participants remaining in the fishery.  Eligible parties volunteer for reduction by submitting bids in a reverse auction where bid prices are scored by the value of bidders' past harvests.  The groundfish reduction program makes payments for relinquishing all Federal fishing permits, as well as state permits for Washington, Oregon, and California Dungeness crab and pink shrimp.  Participating fishing vessels can never fish again anywhere in the world.  Reducing capacity will increase post-reduction harvesters' productivity, financially stabilize the fishery, and help conserve and manage Pacific Coast groundfish.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Establish a Control Date</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (GMFMC) voted unanimously to establish a control date effective December 6, 2003, for Federally permitted shrimp vessels fishing in the exclusive economic zone of Gulf of Mexico (Gulf EEZ).  The GMFMC anticipates that future action may be necessary to control effort and the number of participants engaged in the commercial shrimp fishery of the Gulf EEZ.  Consideration of a control date does not commit the GMFMC or NMFS to any particular management regime for entry into the commercial shrimp fishery.  Fishermen are not guaranteed future participation in a fishery regardless of their entry date or intensity of participation in the fishery before or after the control date under consideration.  The GMFMC subsequently may choose a different control date or they may choose a management regime that does not make use of a control date. The GMFMC also may choose to take no further action to control entry or access to the fisheries, in which case the control date may be rescinded.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Amendment to the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is amending the regulations that implement the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan, specifically with regard to the straight set of gillnets in the southeast U.S. Restricted Area in waters off the coasts of Georgia and Florida.  The intent of this proposed rule is to prohibit straight sets of gillnets at night from November 15 through March 31, annually to reduce the risk of entanglement of large whales, including the western North Atlantic right whale.  

This rule was published on March 27, 2002, in the Federal Register under RIN 0648-AN88.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 28, 1999, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) issued a regulation (64 FR 29090) codified at 50 CFR 635.69(a), requiring all commercial pelagic longline vessels fishing for Atlantic HMS to install a NMFS-approved VMS unit.  Due to litigation, the requirement was stayed indefinitely on October 1, 2000 (66 FR 1907, January 10, 2001).  On October 15, 2002, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a final order upholding the VMS regulation.  This rule would amend the effective date for the requirement to have a NOAA-approved, VMS unit installed and operating on any vessel leaving port to fish for HMS with pelagic longline gear on board to September 1, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife; Sea Turtle Conservation Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS intends to publish a proposed rule amending the regulation requiring certain kinds of turtle excluder devices (TEDs) in shrimp fisheries.  Sea turtles, listed pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, drown when caught in shrimp trawl gear.  NMFS and fishermen have developed several models of TEDs, which in different fashions exclude sea turtles.  On February 21, 2003 (68 FR 8456), NMFS issued a regulation requiring TEDs with larger openings that would allow leatherback and larger loggerhead sea turtles to escape. The rule becomes effective in the Gulf of Mexico on August 21 of this year.  One of the provisions is that those who shrimp in offshore waters in the Gulf of Mexico may as of August 21 no longer use the popular Coulon TED.  Louisiana fishermen developed this TED and many like it because it retains shrimp but excludes not only sea turtles but also other fish.  Because the Gulf shrimp trawlers wanted to continue using the Coulon TED, the agency tested a modified Coulon TED, based on its regulatory protocols (50 CFR 223.207(e)) for approving the use of new TEDs, and determined that a modified Coulon TED both met the protocol requirements and excluded the larger turtles.  Agency scientists describe this modified Coulon TED as the best they have ever seen at excluding smaller turtles.  The agency now wishes to amend the newest TED rule to permit shrimp trawlers to use the Coulon TED as one option in offshore waters.

This amendment to the TED rule is not expected to be controversial, as it permits offshore Gulf of Mexico shrimp trawlers to retain a popular option.  Further, because the modified Coulon TED permits larger turtles to escape as well as making escape for smaller turtles very easy, environmental groups should also find this amendment acceptable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implement a 30 Fathom Boundary Line Off Southern California for the Pacific Coast Groundfish Commercial Non-Trawl and Recreational Fisheries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The emergency rule would move the conservation boundary line affecting the commercial non-trawl fisheries and the recreational fishery from 20 fathoms to 30 fathoms south of 34 degrees 27 minutes north latitude to the U.S./Mexico border.  This increases the area in which the fishery can take place and decreases the closed area that was implemented to protect overfished species of groundfish.  This management change would cause the optimum yield (the harvest target) for bocaccio rockfish for 2003 of less than 20 metric tons to be exceeded by approximately 2 metric tons.  This action was recommended by the State of California and the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council). The Council and NMFS concluded that this change was appropriate based on a new stock assessment released in May 2003 by NMFS Southwest Fisheries Science Center that shows increased biomass and productivity for the southern stock of bocaccio. (Based on the new stock assessment and rebuilding analysis, the Council adopted a preliminary range of optimum yields for bocaccio for 2004 of 199 to 526 metric tons, significantly higher than the less than 20 metric tons optimum yields adopted in 2003.)  The change in the closed area boundary is intended to provide some relief in 2003 to the severely constrained commercial and recreational fishers in southern California based on the new bocaccio stock assessment and rebuilding analysis. The effects of using this new boundary line were not previously analyzed under the National Environmental Policy Act; so NMFS has prepared an Environmental Assessment for this action. This regulation is being prepared as an emergency action under the Magnuson Act not because it has significant impacts, but rather because the action does not fit within the framework established for inseason actions under the Groundfish Fishery Management Plan. While some environmental groups may not support this action, NMFS does not consider the action significant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Support Implementation of the United States Patent and Trademark Office 21st Century Strategic Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) has established a 21st Century Strategic Plan to transform the Office into a quality-focused, highly productive, responsive organization supporting a market-driven intellectual property system.  The Office is proposing to revise the rules of practice to support the implementation of the 21st Century Strategic Plan, which involves improving the patent application and examination process by promoting quality enhancement, reducing patent pendency, and using information technology to simplify the patent application process.  The more notable changes being proposed in this notice involve permitting typewritten signatures on documents submitted by facsimile, streamlining the requirements for incorporation by reference of priority applications, and clarifying the qualifications for claiming small entity status for purposes of paying reduced patent fees.  These changes to the patent application and examination process are necessary for the Office to be able to process the long-term trend of increasing number of applications within a reasonable time frame.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of United States Patent and Trademark Office Practice for Handling Patent Applications Filed Without the Appropriate Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Among other changes to patent and trademark fees, the United States Patent and Trademark Office Fee Modernization Act of 2003 would (if enacted) split the patent application filing fee into a separate filing fee, search fee and examination fee.  The United States Patent and Trademark Office Fee Modernization Act of 2003 would (if enacted) also require an additional fee for any application whose specification and drawings, excluding any sequence listing or computer program listing filed in the prescribed electronic medium, exceed 100 sheets of paper.  This notice proposes changes in United States Patent and Trademark Office practice for handling patent applications filed without the appropriate fees in view of the revised patent fee structure set forth in the United States Patent and Trademark Office Fee Modernization Act of 2003.  The United States Patent and Trademark Office will implement the changes to the patent fees provided in the United States Patent and Trademark Office Fee Modernization Act of 2003 in a separate rule making.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act contains a title relating to intellectual property.  The patent-related provisions in the intellectual property title of the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act include provisions permitting a third party requester in an inter partes reexamination proceeding to appeal a final decision by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and to participate in the patent owner's appeal of a final decision by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  Also included are technical amendments to statutory provisions directed to inter partes reexamination, eighteen-month publication of patent applications and provisional rights, and issuance of patents.  The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is in this notice proposing changes to the rules of practice to implement the patent-related provisions of the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act, and other miscellaneous changes related to appeals in reexamination proceedings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is proposing to adjust the international search and international preliminary examination fees for international applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).  The Office is planning to outsource the international search under PCT chapter I for international applications.  The Office is proposing to adjust the international search and international preliminary examination fees to more closely reflect the estimated cost of obtaining a PCT chapter I search and conducting the international preliminary examination under the new process.  The Office is also proposing miscellaneous changes to the rules of practice in patent cases that relate to the United States Patent and Trademark Fee Modernization Act of 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes Related to Assignments of Patents and Trademarks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark (Office) is proposing changes to the rules of practice to allow for more efficient electronic routing of assignment documents within the Office.  Specifically, the Office proposes to discontinue the current Office practice of returning patent and trademark assignment documents submitted for recording (in the assignments database) by mail, and to dispose of the documents according to a record retention schedule after scanning.  Further, only certain paper sizes for assignment documents will be accepted for recording.  In addition, the Office proposes to clarify what assignment information is available to the public.  Finally, the Office proposes to modify the practice relating to issuance of a patent to an assignee by providing that after payment of an issue fee, a request for a certificate of correction must be filed to obtain issuance of the patent to an assignee.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking implements the changes to the patent fees contained in the United States Patent and Trademark Office Fee Modernization Act of 2003.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is proposing to revise the rules of practice to improve the patent application and examination process by promoting quality enhancement and reducing patent pendency.  For example, the Office is proposing: (1) changes to facilitate the filing of applications and subsequent papers by facsimile or electronic mail message over the Internet; (2) changes to the manner in which applicants bring pertinent information to the Office's attention and how the Office uses that information; and (3) changes to allow the Office to terminate proceedings on an application if the applicant refuses to prosecute the application with reasonable diligence.  These changes to the patent application and examination process are necessary for the Office to be able to process an ever-increasing number of applications within a reasonable time frame.]]></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>International Services Surveys: BE-45, Quarterly Survey of Insurance Transactions by U.S. Insurance Companies With Foreign Persons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) amends 15 CFR Part 801 to institute a new survey, BE-45, Quarterly Survey of Insurance Transactions by U.S. Insurance Companies with Foreign Persons, to be conducted by BEA.

The survey is mandatory and will be conducted under the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act.  Data from the proposed BE-45 survey are needed to monitor trade in insurance services, analyze its impact on the U.S. and foreign economies, compile and improve the U.S. economic accounts, support U.S. commercial policy on insurance services, conduct trade promotion, improve the ability of U.S. businesses to identify and evaluate market opportunities, and for other Government uses.

The survey will cover the same insurance services presently covered by the BE-48, Annual Survey of Reinsurance and Other Insurance Transactions by U.S. Insurance Companies with Foreign Persons, and auxiliary insurance services presently covered by the Benchmark and Annual Surveys of Selected Services Transactions with Unaffiliated Foreign Persons (Forms BE-20 and BE-22).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>International Services Surveys: BE-25, Quarterly Survey of Transactions With Unaffiliated Foreign Persons in Selected Services and in Intangible Assets </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) amends 15 CFR Part 801 to institute a new survey, BE-25, Quarterly Survey of Transactions with Unaffiliated Foreign Persons in Selected Services and in Intangible Assets, to be conducted by the BEA.  

Data from the proposed BE-25 survey are needed to monitor trade in services and intangible assets, analyze its impact on the U.S. and foreign economies, compile and improve the U.S. economic accounts, support U.S. commercial policy on financial services, conduct trade promotion, improve the ability of U.S. businesses to identify and evaluate market opportunities, and for other Government and public uses.

The proposed survey will cover some of the selected services presently covered by the BE-22, Annual Survey of Selected Services Transactions with Unaffiliated Foreign Persons. The selected services covered by the BE-25 survey will be removed from the BE-22 survey after the survey for 2003 is conducted. The BE-22 survey will continue to be conducted for those services that were not moved to the BE-25 survey. The proposed survey will also cover construction, engineering, architectural, and surveying services presently covered by the BE-47, Annual Survey of Construction, Engineering, Architectural, and Mining Services Provided by U.S. Firms to Unaffiliated Foreign Persons, and will cover the same transactions in intangible assets presently covered by the BE-93, Annual Survey of Royalties, License Fees, and Other Receipts and Payments for Intangible Rights Between U.S. and Unaffiliated Foreign Persons; both of these annual surveys would be discontinued, following a final data collection for 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mandatory Electronic Filing of License Applications, Classification Requests, and License Exceptions Notifications via BIS&apos;s Simplified Network Application Process (SNAP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would change the Export Administration Regulations as needed to implement a revised version of the Bureau of Industry and Security's Simplified Network Application Processing (SNAP) system.  This rule also would make use of that system mandatory for all filings of Export License applications (except Special Comprehensive Licenses and deemed export licenses), Reexport Authorization requests, Classification requests, Encryption Review requests, and License Exception AGR notifications unless the Bureau of Industry and Security authorizes paper filing for a particular user or transaction.  This rule also would authorize SNAP filing for special reports of certain items controlled under the Wassenaar Arrangement.  This rule also would eliminate all provisions of the regulations associated with earlier versions of SNAP and other electronic filing systems that the Bureau of Industry and Security has used in the past, as use of those systems would be terminated upon introduction of the new version of SNAP (SNAP 2002).  Those eliminated provisions include the requirements regarding personal identification numbers (PINs) and the requirement for users to keep logs of items filed electronically. This rule also would require that requests for advisory opinions include the Export Control Classification Number of the item(s) at issue, revise emergency license application procedures, set the value of all aircraft licensed for temporary sojourn abroad to zero and correct some omissions, misstatements and typographical errors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Export Administration Regulations:  Penalty Guidance in the Settlement of Administrative Enforcement Cases</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As an essential part of its administration of the export control system, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) brings administrative enforcement actions for violations of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).  Many administrative enforcement cases are resolved through settlements between BIS and the respondent.   

The rule proposes to incorporate guidance in the EAR on how BIS determines what penalty is appropriate for the settlement of an administrative enforcement case.  This guidance would appear in a new Supplement No. 1 to part 766 of the EAR.  The proposed guidance identifies both general factors, such as the destination for the export and degree of willfulness involved in violations, and specific mitigating and aggravating factors which BIS typically takes into account in determining an appropriate penalty.  The proposed guidance also describes factors that BIS's Office of Export Enforcement (OEE) typically considers in describing whether a violation should be addressed in a warning letter, rather than in an administrative enforcement case.  The guidance would not apply to antiboycott matters arising under part 760 of the EAR.

In part 764, the rule proposes to amend section 764.5(e) to state that Supplement No. 1 to part 766 describes how BIS typically exercises its discretion regarding whether to pursue an administrative enforcement case regarding violations reported in a voluntary self-disclosure under section 764.5, and what administrative sanctions to seek in settling such a case.  

In part 766, the rule proposes to amend section 766.3(a) to state that Supplement No. 1 to part 766 describes how BIS typically exercises its discretion regarding the issuance of charging letters, other than in antiboycott matters under part 760.  The rule proposes to amend section 766.18 to add a new paragraph (f), stating that Supplement No. 1 to part 766 describes how BIS typically exercises its discretion regarding the terms under which it is willing tsettle particular cases, other than antiboycott matters under part 760.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of &quot;National Security&quot; as a Reason for Control for Certain Items on the Commerce Control List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Commerce Control List (CCL) to eliminate "National Security" as a reason for control with respect to certain items.  This rule is needed to make the CCL conform to Section 5(c)(6)(A) of the Export Administration Act (the Act), which provides that unilateral national security controls expire six months after enactment of the Act or of the control (whichever is later) unless a determination has been made under section 5 of the Act that there is no foreign availability of the items or unless the President is pursuing negotiations to end such availability.  All but four of the items affected by this rule are moved to other Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) on the CCL.  Two of the items that are removed from the CCL (bayonets and technology for the design, production or use of bayonets) are transferred to the United States Munitions List.  The other two items (muzzle-loading firearms and technology for the design, production or use of muzzle-loading firearms) are now EAR99.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 1A004 in the Commerce Control List (CCL) provides that protection and detection equipment and components not specially designed for military use are subject to the licensing authority of the Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls (DTC).  The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has received information suggesting that the existing rule commits to DTC authority a number of items that have primarily civil end uses.  This proposed rule draws a distinction between items subject to DTC control and items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by modifying ECCN 1A004 and creating a new ECCN 1A995.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions of Energetic Material Export Licensing Jurisdiction Based on Review of the United States Munitions List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement decisions to move export licensing jurisdiction of certain types of energetic materials and other chemicals from the Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls (DTC)  to the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and to move such jurisdiction for other chemicals from BIS to DTC.  This rule along with a complementary rule published by the Department of State (67 FR 70839, November 27, 2002) implements decisions reached in an ongoing review of the USML that is part of the Defense Trade Security Initiative.  That initiative, announced on May 24, 2000 at a NATO ministerial meeting by the Secretary of State, includes annual review of portions of the USML with the objective of reviewing the entire list every four years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing from  the EAR references to sanctions on Angola administered by the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).  In response to United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions regarding the conflict in Angola, the President, by Executive order, directed the Department of the Treasury to maintain sanctions on the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA).  On December 9, 2002, the UNSC terminated the sanctions previously imposed on UNITA.  On May 6, 2003, consistent with the UNSC action, the President terminated the relevant Executive orders, effectively ending U.S. sanctions.  This rule amends the EAR to remove certain references to the sanctions which had been maintained by OFAC with respect to UNITA.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule also amends the interpretation in section 770(h) to provide guidance based on the International Munitions List for distinguishing military vehicles from other vehicles and to assist in distinguishing military vehicles subject to the export licensing jurisdiction of the Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls from those subject to the export licensing jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security.

The review will determine if the foreign-made commodity meets the criteria for "retail" and verify the calculations of the de minimis value.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 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 BIS, any material or substantive change in the terms of the order, or in the facts relating to the transaction, must be promptly reported to BIS.  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 Industry and Security 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>

These ECCNs control technology and software that can be used for the development, production, or use of computers.  The goal of this notice is to collect information from industry that will assist BIS in evaluating whether the current TSR eligibility level of 33,000 Millions of Theoretical Operations per Second (MTOPS) for exports and reexports to most countries should be adjusted, taking into consideration the control level for the export of computer equipment and the control policies of other member countries of the Wassenaar Arrangement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 BIS'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 BIS 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>Entity List Revision:  Khan Research Laboratories</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) provide that the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) may inform the public, individually or through amendment to the EAR, that a license is required for exports or reexports to certain entities.  The EAR contain a list of such entities called the Entity List.  This rule revises the entry for Abdul Qader Khan Research Laboratories, located in Kahuta, Pakistan.  Abdul Qader Khan Research Laboratories is also known as Khan Research Laboratories. Because Khan Research Laboratories has changed its name to Institute of Industrial Control Systems (IICS), this rule adds Institute of Industrial Control Systems (IICS) as an a.k.a. under the entity Abdul Qader Khan Research Laboratories.  In addition, this rule makes a revision to clarify that when BIS publishes in the Federal Register information regarding entities in the Entity List that it is informing not only exporters but the public.]]></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 Industry and Security (BIS) 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), BIS 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.  In addition, Indian and Pakistani government entities involved in nuclear or missile activities will be added to the Entity List.  Additional military and private entities located in India and Pakistan will be added to the Entity List in the near future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Export of Technology and Software Through Electronic Transmissions, Downloads, and Programming Onto Hardware</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is reviewing technology and software export issues as they pertain to electronic transmissions and downloads, as well as programming onto hardware.  BIS is considering how export controls on such technology transfers affect U.S. exporters.  Specifically, BIS 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.  BIS is particularly interested in the comments of those who have direct experience in the area of technology and software exports.]]></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 Industry and Security (BIS) 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.  BIS 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by imposing a license requirement on the export and reexport of any item subject to the EAR by a U.S. person or non-U.S. person to persons blocked and designated pursuant to Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001.  In response to grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism, Executive Order 13224 blocks the property and interests in property of persons who commit, threaten to commit or support terrorism, and prohibits U.S. persons or applicable non-U.S. persons from engaging in any transactions with such blocked persons.  The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) maintains the list of blocked persons newly designated Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) in appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V pursuant to Executive Order 13224 and identified by the bracketed initials [SDGT].  This rule also amends the EAR by expanding reexport controls on Specially Designated Terrorists (SDTs) and foreign controls on Specially Designated Terrorists (SDTs) and Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).  OFAC also maintains the lists of SDTs and FTOs found in appendix A to 31 C.F.R. chapter V and identified by the bracketed initials [SDT] and [FTO], respectively.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to clarify when encryption commodities and software may be given de minimis treatment, when short-range wireless devices incorporating encryption may be given mass market or retail treatment, and to provide guidance on when exporters are required to submit encryption review requests.  It also expands the authorizations for which travelers departing the United States may take encryption for their personal use.   Finally this rule implements changes to the Wassenaar Arrangement List of dual-use items that eliminate from Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5A002 certain types of "Personalized smart cards" and equipment specially designed and limited to controlling access to copyright protected data.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clean Water Act Regulatory Definition of &quot;Waters of the United States&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An advance notice of proposed rulemaking on the Clean Water Act Regulatory Definition of "Waters of the United States" was published jointly by EPA and the Department of the Army on January 15, 2003. This action solicited public input on aspects of Clean Water Act regulatory jurisdiction that should be addressed in joint rulemaking by EPA and the Department of the Army to clarify the jurisdictional status under the Clean Water Act (CWA) of "isolated intrastate non-navigable 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, Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (SWANCC). In SWANCC, the Court held that the scope of "waters of the United States" protected under the Clean Water Act did not extend to isolated intrastate non-navigable waters based solely on presence of migratory birds. While SWANCC did not actually invalidate regulations under the CWA, the decision does establish limitations on their use. Revision of the regulatory language is necessary to address the Court's decision, improve regulatory clarity, and provide more specificity regarding CWA jurisdiction. Approximately 150,000 comments were received in response to the ANPRM.  The Corps and EPA are currently sorting comments by nature and substance to facilitate final review and consideration.  The assessment of the comments will be factored into the decision on the need for, and scope of, further rulemaking.  Among others things, a rulemaking process 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. Small entities or State/local/tribal governments might be affected by a change in regulatory definition of "waters of the United States" if they either are regulated under or help administer CWA programs affecting such waters; e.g., sections 402, 404, 311. Significant impacts on such entities or governments are not anticipated, as the proposed regulatory revisions would be consistent with the Supreme Court ruling.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Programmatic Regulations for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was directed by Congress in section 601 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-541, 114 Stat. 2680) to develop a Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (Plan) to restore and preserve south Florida's natural ecosystem, while enhancing water supplies and maintaining flood protection. To guide the development of the Plan, Congress also directed the Secretary of the Army, after notice and opportunity for public comment, to develop and implement programmatic regulations within 2 years (NLT December 11, 2002). The programmatic regulations will establish a process for developing project implementation reports, project cooperation agreements, and project operating manuals that will ensure the goals and the objectives of the Plan are achieved. The regulations also will establish procedures developing and using any new information resulting from ecosystem changes or unforeseen circumstances in accordance with the principles of adaptive management contained in the Plan. Finally, the programmatic regulations will facilitate the re-establishment and protection of the natural system consistent with the interim and final goals of the Plan while providing thorough evaluation points during the 30-year project implementation schedule.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Specifically, the programmatic regulations will implement the following sections of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000:
Section 601(h)(3)(A), requires programmatic regulations to be completed not later than 2 years after enactment;
Section 601(h)(3)(B), the Secretary of the Interior and the Governor shall provide the Secretary of the Army with a written statement of concurrence or nonconcurrence not later than 180 days after the end of the comment period;
Section 601(h)(3)(C), the regulations shall establish a process for the development of project implementation reports, project cooperation agreements, and operating manuals; ensure that new information resulting from changed or unforeseen circumstances, new science, or technical information developed through adaptive management are integrated into the implementation of the Plan; and ensure the protection of the natural system consistent with the goals and purposes of the Plan;
Section 601(h)(3)(D), all project implementation reports approved before the date of promulgation of the programmatic regulations shall be consistent with the Plan;
Section 601(h)(3)(E), at least every 5 years, the Secretary of the Army shall review the programmatic regulations for consistency with Plan goals and purposes.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[There are no economic costs, per say, attributed to the promulgation of the programmatic regulations.

            <RISKS><![CDATA[There are no risks associated with the programmatic regulations. Promulgation of the regulations will help ensure that the Army Corps of Engineers follows agreed upon project development and implementation procedures, designed to achieve the environmental restoration and protection benefits outlined in the Plan. Although no regulatory impacts with other Federal, Tribal, State, or local regulations have been identified to date, the Corps will take comments on impacts as part of the public and agency comment period and address them in the final regulations. The draft programmatic regulations have been drafted so as not to conflict with existing laws and regulations. Any oversights will be corrected in the final version.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is proposing to amend its regulations to adjust its Class I civil penalties under the Clean Water Act and the National Fishing Enhancement Act.  The adjustment of civil penalties to account for inflation is required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended.  Since we have not made any adjustments to our Class I civil penalties, we are proposing to make the initial 10 percent increase under this Act.  The proposed adjusted Class I civil penalty under the Clean Water Act will not exceed $11,000 per violation, with a maximum civil penalty amount of $27,500.  Under the National Fishing Enhancement Act, the proposed adjusted Class I civil penalty will not exceed $11,000 per violation.  Increasing the maximum amounts of the Class I civil penalties to account for inflation will maintain the deterrent effects of those penalties.]]></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. In addition, the new rule will apply to feasibility studies as well as projects and expand the coverage to environmental protection and restoration, navigation, storm damage protection, shoreline erosion, hurricane protection, recreation, and agricultural water supply or for separable elements of any of the applicable purposes.  A final rule 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 proposed rule will amend these 1995 guidelines in accordance with the discretionary language in section 202(b) of Public Law 104-303.]]></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 331 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. This rulemaking will consolidate all recent changes in one place.]]></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 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. Third, the Agency and the physician must certify that they understand and have taken appropriate measures to avoid violation of Standards of Conduct, dual compensation, and conflict of interest requirements including protection against referral of patients to the employee's private practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 section 714 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000, which authorizes the Secretary of Defense to waive the TRICARE deductible in certain cases for care provided to a dependent of a member of a Reserve Component or the National Guard who is called to active duty for more than 30 days but less than 1 year.  In implementing this rule, we are limiting this to Reserve Component and National Guard members called to active duty in support of contingency operations.  The term "contingency operations" is defined at 10 U.S.C. 101(a)(13).  This rule also establishes circumstances under which eligible beneficiaries may enroll in TRICARE Prime for a period of less than 1 year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; CHAMPUS; Appeals and Hearings Procedures, Formal Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule makes administrative corrections to 32 CFR part 199, section 199.10, "Appeal and Hearing Procedures."  These corrections include revising section 199.10, adding paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5), and making other minor editorial changes.  Paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) were inadvertently omitted when the July 1, 1991, edition of title 32 of the CFR was published.  The discovery that the formal review process was missing from section 199.10 occurred at the time TRICARE was tasked to promulgate an appeal process for TRICARE Claimcheck denials.  This correction to section 199.10 is necessary to provide the required procedures to any party to an initial determination or reconsideration made by the CHAMPUS contractor and who may want to request formal review.]]></ABSTRACT>

Specifically, (1) revisions to the definition of durable medical equipment (DME); (2) adoption of the same pricing methods for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) as are in effect for the Medicare program; (3) clarification that rehabilitative therapy is a TRICARE benefit; (4) addition of augmentative communication devices (ACD)/speech generating devices (SGD) as a TRICARE benefit; (5) addition of hearing aids for family members of active duty members as a TRICARE benefit; (6) revisions to the definition of prosthetics; (7) permanent authority for transitional health care for certain members separated from active duty; and (8) revisions to the time period of eligibility for transitional health care.  This rule also addresses a technical correction found in section 706 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (NDAA-03), Public Law 107-62, relating to transitional health care for dependents of certain members separated from active duty.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Department withdraws its proposed rule published at 66 FR 39699 to 39705, August 1, 2001, regarding the Individual Case Management Program. This rule also implements section 701(b) of the NDAA-02, which provides additional benefits for certain eligible active duty dependents by amending the TRICARE regulations at 32 CFR 199.5 governing the Program for Persons With Disabilities. The Program for Persons With Disabilities will now be called the Extended Care Health Option. Other 
administrative amendments are included to clarify specific policies that relate to the Extended Care Health Option, custodial care, and to update related definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Elimination of Nonavailability Statement and Referral Authorization Requirements and Elimination of Specialized Treatment Services Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 735 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (NDAA-02) (Pub. L. 107-107). It also implements section 728 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (NDAA-01) (Pub. L. 106-398). Section 735 of NDAA-02 eliminates the requirement for TRICARE Standard beneficiaries who live within a 40-mile radius of a military medical treatment facility (MTF) to obtain a nonavailability statement (NAS) or preauthorization from an MTF before receiving inpatient care (other than mental health services) or maternity care from a civilian provider in order that TRICARE will cost-share for such services. Further, this section eliminates the NAS requirement for specialized treatment services (STSs) for TRICARE Standard beneficiaries who live outside the 200-mile radius of a designated STS facility. This rule portrays the Department's decision to eliminate the STS program entirely. Finally, section 728 of NDAA-01 requires that prior authorization before referral to a specialty care provider that is part of the contractor network be eliminated under any new TRICARE contract.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Development of a Munitions Response Site Prioritization Protocol</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to section 311 of the Fiscal Year 2002 National Defense Authorization Act, the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations & Environment), U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), proposes to develop a site prioritization protocol for assigning to each defense site (hereinafter, munitions response site) a relative priority for response activities related to unexploded ordnance, discarded military munitions, and munitions constituents. Section 311 lists specific factors to be included in the protocol. DoD is requesting input from interested parties on: (a) These factors; (b) any additional factors to consider in developing a site prioritization protocol; (c) how the proposed protocol should incorporate such factors as they relate to safety and environmental hazards; and (d) recommendations on any existing prioritization methods, models, or tools that should be evaluated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Acts for 1995 and 1996, the Department has prepared this rule for Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs). DoD has established RABs at over 200 installations and formerly used Defense sites that have environmental restoration programs for cleanup of contaminated sites. The purpose of the RAB is to facilitate public participation in restoration activities at operating and closing installations. The proposed rule is based on DoD's current policies for RABs, as well as DoD's experience in establishing and operating RABs over the past 2 years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes policy and assigns responsibilities for settling personnel and general claims and for processing requests for an advance decision.  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 to the Secretary of Defense and others 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 and DoD employees to the Secretary of Defense.  The Secretary of Defense further delegated his claims settlement and waiver authorities to the General Counsel.  This rule implements the reassignment of the Comptroller General's former duties within the Department of Defense with little impact on the public.]]></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[This rule proposes policy and prescribes procedures for processing and settling personnel and general claims and for processing requests for an advance decision. 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 to the Secretary of Defense and others 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 and DoD employees to the Secretary of Defense.  The Secretary of Defense further delegated his claims settlement and waiver authorities to the General Counsel. This rule implements the reassignments of the Comptroller General's former duties within the Department of Defense with little impact on the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the Manual for Courts-Martial (DoD Directive 5500.17)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Defense promulgates procedures implementing Executive Order 12473, dated July 13, 1984, calling upon the Secretary of Defense to cause an annual review of the Manual for Courts-Martial (MCM) and to recommend to the President any appropriate amendments.  Through the annual review process, the Secretary of Defense assists the President in fulfilling his rulemaking responsibilities under article 36 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ; chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code).  Under the direction of the General Counsel of the Department of Defense, a Joint Service Committee on Military Justice (JSC) is established with responsibility to conduct the annual review and propose MCM amendments.  The JSC also proposes amendments to the UCMJ, as necessary.
     This rule updates part 152 to title 32, Code of Federal Regulations, "Review of the Manual for Courts-Martial," to reflect practice and procedures for conducting annual reviews and to change the annual review cycle from concluding with an annual report due to the General Counsel by December 31, instead of May 1.  The change in the annual review cycle is due to legislative requirements on affecting JSC responsibilities.  This interim rule is provided to afford a 60-day opportunity for public comment prior to issuing a final rule.  This rule is intended only to improve the internal management of the Federal Government.  It is not intended to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by any party against the United States, its agencies, its officers, or any person.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Defense (DoD) is adding 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 provides revisions to parts 21, 22, 32, and 34 of the DoDGARs to conform the rest of the DoDGARs with the new part 37.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transactions Other Than Contracts, Grants, or Cooperative Agreements for Prototype Projects</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule establishes the Department's audit policy for prototype projects that use "other transaction" authority.  Representatives of the military departments, Defense agencies, and other DoD activities have agreed on a final rule that amends the proposed rule as a result of comments received.  
     Section 845 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994, Public Law 103-160, as amended, authorizes the Secretary of a Military Department, the Director of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and any other official designated by the Secretary of Defense, to enter into transactions other than contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements in certain situations for prototype projects that are directly relevant to weapons or weapon systems proposed to be acquired or developed by the Department of Defense.  Such transactions are commonly referred to as "other transaction" agreements for prototype projects.  To the extent that a particular statute or regulation is limited in its applicability to the use of a procurement contract, it would generally not apply to "other transactions" for prototype projects.
     Part 3 to 32 CFR was established to codify policy pertaining to prototype "other transactions" that have a significant impact on the public and are subject to rulemaking.  Additional guidance on prototype "other transactions" directed at Government officials can be found at the Defense Procurement web site at:  http://www.osd.dp.mil]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations would implement changes made by the anticipated reauthorization of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act.  This action is a notice that, if regulations are necessary, ED would review the regulations in 34 CFR chapter III under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610).  The purpose of this review would be 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 would request comments 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 regulations; and the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other relevant factors have changed since the regulations were promulgated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is considering changes to the regulations implementing title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. In the event changes are made, such changes would amend existing regulations to provide more flexibility for educators to establish single-sex classes and schools at the elementary and secondary levels.  The  purpose of the amendments would be to support efforts of school districts to improve educational outcomes for children and to provide public school parents with a diverse array of educational options that respond to the educational needs of their children, while at the same time ensuring appropriate safeguards against discrimination.  Amendments would be designed to permit appropriate latitude for innovative efforts to help children learn and to expand the choices parents have for their children's education consistent with the purposes of title IX.]]></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). This section 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. New legislation amending the PPRA passed as part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. As our next action we will issue a new NPRM based on this legislation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Governmentwide Requirement for Drug-Free Workplace (Financial Assistance) and Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations are part of a common rule amending the Governmentwide nonprocurement common rule for debarment and suspension and the Governmentwide rule implementing the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988.  The regulations in 34 CFR parts 85, 668, and 682 clarify the relationship between debarment and suspension actions and limitation, suspension, and termination actions under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.  Additionally, under part 85 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 to part 84, separate from the debarment and suspension regulations in part 85.]]></ABSTRACT>

The regulation must provide a level of protection to workers at such facilities that is substantially equivalent to the level of protection currently being provided to workers.  Section 234C also makes DOE contractors that violate the safety and health regulations subject to civil penalties or a reduction of fees and other payments under its contract with DOE.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Low Density Discount
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 7(d)(1) of the Northwest Power Act, in order to avoid adverse impacts on retail rates of BPA wholesale customers with low system densities, BPA offers low density discounts (LDD) through the Administrator's power rates.  When BPA revised the LDD in BPA's 2002 power rate case, BPA changed part of its General Rate Schedule Provisions (GRSPs).  The GRSPs now base part of the LDD calculation on a customer's "Total Retail Load," instead of its "total electric energy requirements."  This change may have the inadvertent effect of allowing certain utilities to be eligible for the LDD based on their sales for resale, which are not a proper basis for the discount.  BPA has not yet decided, but may revise the LDD in a section 7(i) hearing to correct this anomaly.  The LDD is an intraclass allocation of costs.  BPA's LDD costs would be slightly lower if revised as described.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Public Law 104-259, signed into law on October 9, 1996, amended the annotation requirement to provide for States to receive certification from the Secretary for &quot;a program which would achieve the purposes&quot; of the annotation under section 104(d) of the UMTRCA in regards to vicinity properties. DOE sent letters to the affected States regarding the amendment language. Some States expressed concerns about the land annotation requirements.  The Department and the States have had informal discussions regarding those concerns, and as a result several of the States are working together to pursue a legislative change to the annotation requirement.  DOE will defer this action pending the outcome of the States&apos; effort.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Net Cost Recovery Adjustment Rate Proceeding</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[BPA's Power Business Line has electric rates in effect through September 30, 2006.  During the rate period, BPA periodically examines forecast and actual loads, market prices, and expenses.  Under the General Rate Schedule Provisions there is a risk mitigation tool embedded within the rates called a Cost Recovery Adjustment Clause (CRAC).  There are three levels of the CRAC under which a rate may incrementally increase.  The first is the Load-Based CRAC (LB CRAC), which triggers if BPA's augmentation cost exceeds the amount forecast.  The second is the Financial-Based CRAC (FB CRAC), which triggers based on the generation function's forecasted level of accumulated net revenues.  The third, the Safety-Net CRAC (SN CRAC), provides an upward adjustment to posted power rates subject to the FB CRAC by modifying the FB CRAC parameters.  The SN CRAC would trigger if it appeared the FB CRAC parameters need modification based upon market and other risk factors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transmission Rate Proceeding</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 7 of the Northwest Power Act, 16 USC 839e, the Bonneville Power Administration is required to periodically set and revise its rates.  Transmission rates were last set for a two-year period in 2001, and expired September 30, 2003.  BPA is required to set rates to recover its costs, including the amortization of the Federal investment in the Federal Columbia River Power System over a reasonable period of years.  Therefore, the Transmission Business Line will set its rates in this rate case in order to recover its costs.  Issues of cost allocation among customer classes may also be addressed.]]></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[EPCA establishes initial energy efficiency standard levels for most types of major residential appliances and certain commercial equipment.  EPCA generally requires DOE to undertake 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 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 of 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 Btus of energy 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 upfront 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 and possible reductions in product utility. It might also place an undue burden on manufacturers that could result in loss of jobs or other adverse economic impacts.]]></RISKS>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The Department published a notice in the Federal Register on July 8, 2003, to announce that its statement in the semiannual regulatory agenda, 68 FR 30192, 30195 (May 27, 2003), to reclassify the activity on Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential Furnaces, Boilers, and Mobile Home Furnaces to a low priority was inadvertent and that the Department remains committed to involving stakeholders per the Process Rule.  The Department is currently completing its economic analyses for potential new standards and expects to publish an ANPRM for public review and comment by February 2004.  This action is a high priority, and the Department is working actively on this action.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[These rulemakings are 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[EPCA establishes initial energy efficiency standard levels for certain types of major residential appliances and certain types of commercial equipment and requires DOE to amend the standard for this product when ASHRAE amends its standards, as recently occurred.]]></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>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[Without energy efficiency standards, energy use will continue to increase with resulting damage to the environment caused by atmospheric emissions. Enhancing 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 directs DOE to 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 1992 requires DOE to issue regulations establishing the State and Local Incentives Program. Under this program DOE may grant financial assistance to States for projects in DOE-approved State plans to promote use of alternative fuels and alternative-fueled vehicles. With the publication of an integrated State Energy Program (61 FR 35890), the alternative fuel grant programs may be a part of the State grant special projects, depending on funding availability. The next action will be a cancellation notice of any separate State grant program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Conservation Standards for Small Duct, High Velocity Central Air Conditioning, and Heat Pump Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended, establishes initial energy-efficiency standard levels for most types of major residential appliances and generally requires DOE to undertake two subsequent rulemakings, at specified times, to determine whether the extant standard for a covered product should be amended.  The initial review of the statutory standards for central air conditioners and heat pumps was published on May 23, 2002 (67 FR 36368).  At that time DOE did not have an analytical basis to set standards for small duct high velocity systems and deferred setting those standards to a later date.  This rulemaking will establish those standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The efficiency requirements in the statute correspond to the levels in ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 as in effect on October 24, 1992.  The statute further provides that if the efficiency levels in ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 are amended after that date for any of the covered products, as recently occurred, the Secretary of Energy must establish an amended uniform national standard for such equipment at the new minimum level for each effective date specified in ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1, unless he determines that a more stringent standard is technologically feasible and economically justified and would result in significant additional energy conservation.  Additionally, the Secretary may not prescribe any amended standard that increases the maximum allowable energy use or decreases the minimum required energy efficiency of a covered product.]]></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" -- EPACT provided no clarification of this requirement. In spite of an intensive effort by DOE to work with both the electric and gas industries, agreement was not reached.  The dispute regarding a definition of fuel neutrality was not resolved, and the issue remains hotly disputed.

In the fall of 2004, 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 with DOE's notice of proposed rulemaking on voluntary HERS guidelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is presently a low priority.  However, industry has requested that the Department consider making this a higher priority in the case of medium base compact fluorescent lamps.  The specific concerns of industry are being reviewed prior to determining the most appropriate action to be taken.  This request is also being considered in the context of existing priorities for budget and staff.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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>

        <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 notice of proposed rulemaking (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 that 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Current Good Manufacturing Practice in Manufacturing, Packing, or Holding Human Food (Part 110)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Part 110 (21 CFR part 110) describes regulations for current good manufacturing practice in manufacturing, packing, and holding human food. Part 110 contains regulations describing sanitary practices for personnel, buildings and facilities, and equipment. It also includes regulations on production and process controls for manufacturing practices and on defect action levels for natural or unavoidable defects in food for human use that present no health hazard. FDA is undertaking a review of part 110 under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulations in part 110 should be continued without change, or whether they should be amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of applicable statutes, to minimize adverse impacts on a substantial number of small entities. FDA will consider, and is soliciting comments on, the following:  (1) the continued need for the regulations in part 110; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the regulations in part 110; (3) the complexity of the regulations in part 110; (4) the extent to which the regulations in part 110 overlap, duplicate, or conflict with other Federal, State, or governmental rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the regulations in part 110. 

The section 610 review will be carried out along with a regulatory review under section 5 of Executive Order 12866, which calls for agencies to periodically review existing regulations to determine whether any should be modified or eliminated so as to make the agency's regulatory program more effective in achieving its goals, less burdensome, or in greater alignment with the President's priorities and the princples set forth in the Executive order. The combined effect of the two reviews will be to determine if it is possible to redesign current good manufacturing practices in ways that will maintain or increase the effectiveness of preventive and sanitary controls, and, at the same time, reduce compliance and other costs associated with the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In multiple rulemakings, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 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 FDA's comprehensive review of the biologics regulations. It is also based on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight's, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, as well as on public comments. The remaining subjects intended to be addressed in the rulemakings include: labeling of blood and blood components and donor eligibility requirements. These actions are intended to help ensure the continued safety of the Nation's blood supply.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>Prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 a plan that is designed to prevent transovarian SE from contaminating eggs at the farm during production.    

FDA intends to discuss 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 consider whether it should require provisions for certain retail establishments that serve populations most at risk of egg-related illness (i.e., the elderly, children, and the immunocompromised).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <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 (PHS 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 indicate 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.]]></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 prevention measures; (4) alternative retail requirements; and (5) HACCP.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The benefits from the proposed regulation to control Salmonella Enteritidis in shell eggs on the farm derive from better farming practices. Improved practices reduce contamination and generate benefits measured as the value of the human illnesses prevented. FDA has produced preliminary estimates of costs and benefits for a number of options. The mitigations considered include on-farm rodent control, changes in retail food preparation practices, diversion of eggs from infected flocks to pasteurization, record keeping, refrigeration, and feed testing. The actual costs and benefits of the proposed rule will depend upon the set of mitigations chosen and the set of entities covered by the proposed rule.]]></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 that would include SE prevention measures, 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>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.

In addition to this proposed rule, FDA intends to issue guidance within the next few months on the use in animal feed or material from deer and elk that are positive for CWD or are at high risk of CWD.

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 goats, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans. The disease has been identified in wild and farmed elk and wild deer populations.

CWD has been found in cervid populations in certain areas of Wisconsin,  Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, New Mexico, Minnesota, and Canada. In 1999, the World Health Organization said there is no evidence that CWD transmits to humans. However, it also suggested any part of a deer or elk believed to be diseased should not be eaten. Results of some studies using in vitro techniques have suggested that transmission to humans could possibly occur. However, if it does occur, it is likely to be through a very inefficient process.

Currently, there are no validated analytical tests to identify animals in the preclinical phase of CWD, or any other TSE. In addition, no test exists to ensure food safety. CWD typically exhibits a long incubation period, during which time animals appear normal but are potentially infectious. Therefore, FDA is proposing to require that food or cosmetic products derived from animals exposed to CWD not enter into commerce.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The agency is proposing this action because it is concerned that, during a potential terrorism event or other public health emergency, delaying testing of specimens to obtain informed consent may threaten the life of the subjects or others who have been exposed to or who may be at risk of exposure to a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear agent.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA has already determined that the statutory authority provided in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) allows a limited exception to the requirement of obtaining informed consent in life-threatening situations such as those considered here. Section 520(g)(3)(D) of the Act provides specifically for an exception from informed consent for investigational devices, subject to such conditions as the agency may prescribe. That section requires informed consent of the subject 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 the investigational 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 or her representative. Further, a licensed physician uninvolved in the testing must agree in writing with this three-part determination before the product is used 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 get such concurrence. The investigator must submit the required documentation to the IRB within 5 days after the use of the device.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The other option available to the agency is to work within the existing regulatory scheme. FDA believes that this option may result in delayed, improper or no diagnosis, and delayed, improper or no treatment for persons exposed to these agents because health professionals may not use these investigational products in a timely way or may not use them at all because of their inability to obtain 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 investigator may 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 or other public health emergency. 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 including receiving delayed treatment, because health professionals may 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Devices; Anesthesiology Devices; Proposed Reclassification of Pressure Regulators for Use With Medical Oxygen</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to reclassify pressure regulators for use with medical oxygen from class I to class II and to establish a special control for oxygen pressure regulators to address problems of fire and explosion associated with use of these devices. The special control will be a guidance document that includes standardized testing, performance, and labeling guidance for industry. Devices that meet the special control will be exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the act. The agency believes it is taking a least burdensome approach for industry. This proposed rule will phase-in a compliance approach that will minimize the cost. FDA seeks to reclassify these devices under section 513(e)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c(e)(1)).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Labeling: Trans Fatty Acids in Nutrition Labeling: Consumer Research To Consider Nutrient Content and Health Claims and Possible Footnote or Disclosure Statements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration issued an advance noitce of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on July 11, 2003 (68 FR 41507), to solicit information and data that potentially could be used to establish new nutrient content claims about trans fatty acids; to establish qualifying criteria for trans fat in current nutrient content claims for saturated fat and cholesterol, lean and extra lean claims, and health claims that contain a message about cholesterol-raising lipids; and, in addition, to establish disclosure and disqualifying criteria to help consumers make heart-healthy food choices. The agency also requested comments on whether it should consider statements about trans fat, either alone or in combination with saturated fat and cholesterol, as a footnote in the Nutrition Facts panel or as a disclosure statement in conjunction with claims to enhance consumers' understanding about such cholesterol-raising lipids and how to use the information to make healthy food choices. Information and data obtained from comments and from consumer studies that will be conducted by FDA also may be used to help draft a proposed rule that would establish criteria for certain nutrient content or health claims or require the use of a footnote, or other labeling approach, about one or more cholesterol-raising lipids in the Nutrition Facts panel to assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposal would revise our regulations to require CSD submitted for NDAs, ANDAs, BLAs, and their supplements and amendments be provided in electronic format and require the use of standard data structure, terminology, and code sets. The proposal would improve the efficiency of the exchange of information from clinical studies through the adoption of standards for study data submitted in an electronic form that FDA can process, review, and archive.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Gas Containers and Closures; Current Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration is proposing to amend its current good manufacturing practice regulations and other regulations to clarify and strengthen requirements for the label, color, dedication, and design of medical gas containers and closures. Despite existing regulatory requirements and industry standards for medical gases, there have been repeated incidents in which cryogenic containers of harmful industrial gases have been connected to medical oxygen supply systems in hospitals and nursing homes, and subsequently administered to patients. These incidents have resulted in death and serious injury. There have also been several incidents involving high-pressure medical gas cylinders that have resulted in death and injuries to patients. These proposed amendments, together with existing regulations, are intended to ensure that the types of incidents that have occurred in the past, as well as other types of foreseeable and potentially deadly medical gas mixups, do not occur in the future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Standards: General Principles and Food Standards Modernization</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1995, the FDA and FSIS reviewed their regulatory procedures and requirements for food standards to determine whether any were still needed, and if so, whether any should be modified or streamlined. To request public comment to assist them in their review of the need for food standards, both agencies published advance notices of proposed rulemaking (ANPRMs) on food standards in December 1995 (61 FR 47453 and 61 FR 67492). These ANPRMs discussed the agencies' regulations and policy governing food standards, the history of food standards, and the possible need to revise the food standards.  Several comments in response to the ANPRMs recommended that the agencies establish general principles or a fundamental philosophy for reviewing food standards and revising them. The agencies agreed with these comments and determined that it would be appropriate to develop general principles for reviewing and revising food standards regulations. The agencies also agreed with the comments that stated that the agencies should work in concert to develop consistent food standards regulations. FDA and FSIS are now proposing a set of general principles that define how modern food standards should be structured. If this proposed rule is adopted, FDA and FSIS will require that a citizen petition for establishing, revising, or eliminating a food standard in 21 CFR parts 130 to 169 and 7 CFR part 410 be submitted in accordance with the general principles. Conversely, the agencies may find deficient a petition to establish, revise, or eliminate a food standard that does not follow these general principles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a direct final rule and a companion proposed rule to amend the biologics regulations by providing options to the existing requirement for separate, dedicated facilities and equipment for work with spore-forming microorganisms. FDA is taking this action due to advances in facility, system and equipment design, and sterilization technologies, that would allow work with spore-forming microorganisms to be performed in multi-product manufacturing areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In multiple rulemakings, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 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 FDA's comprehensive review of the biologics regulations. It is also based on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight's, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, as well as on public comments. The remaining subjects intended to be addressed in the rulemakings include: labeling of blood and blood components and donor eligibility requirements. 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 (FDA) 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 FDA's comprehensive review of the biologics regulations. It is also based on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight's, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, as well as on public comments. The remaining subjects intended to be addressed in the rulemakings include: labeling of blood and blood components and donor eligibility requirements. These actions are intended to help ensure the continued safety of the Nation's blood supply.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The events of September 11, 2001, highlighted the need to enhance the security of the U.S. food supply.  Congress responded by passing the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act), which was signed into law on June 12, 2002.  The Bioterrorism Act contains the term "serious adverse health consequences" to describe the standard relating to exercising many of the new authorities provided therein.  Together with the final rules implementing sections 303, 306, and 307 of the Bioterrorism Act, and the other sections of the Bioterrorism Act incorporating the "serious adverse health consequences" term, a definition of the term will further enable FDA to act quickly and consistently in responding to a threatened or actual terrorist attack on the U.S. food supply or to other food-related, public health emergencies.  A definition of the "serious adverse health consequences" term will promote uniformity and consistency across FDA in understanding of the term and determining an appropriate response.  In addition, a definition of the term will inform the public and stakeholders about what FDA considers to be a serious adverse health consequence under the Bioterrorism Act.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA is relying on section 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 371) in issuing this proposed rule.  FDA is also relying on the following sections of the Bioterrorism Act which the term "serious adverse health consequences" appears: Section 303(a) (21 U.S.C. 334(h)(1)(A)), Section 303(c) (21 U.S.C. 381(j)(1)), Section 304(a)(2)(C) (21 U.S.C. 335a(b)(3)), Section 306(a) (21 U.S.C. 350c(a) and (b)), Section 306(b) (21 U.S.C. 374(a)(1)), Section 307(a) (21 U.S.C. 381(m)(2)(B)(ii)), Section 308(b) (21 U.S.C. 343(v)), and Section 310 (21 U.S.C. 398(a)).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In the interests of quickly providing the agency's interpretation of "serious adverse health consequences" to the public, FDA considered explaining the term in guidance. The agency concluded, however, that this option is neither effective nor efficient because guidance does not have the force and effect of law. If the definition or its application is ever challenged, guidance will receive less deference than if the definition were in a regulation. 

FDA also considered explaining the term in guidance followed by a regulation at a later date.  This option was considered because it offers the advantage of rapidly informing the public about the agency's position while the agency gathers more information and experience in applying the definition.  The agency concluded that guidance followed by a regulation was undesirable.  First, as to the initial guidance, FDA would meet the same problems described above for the "guidance only" option.  Second, this option creates a burdensome process for FDA by doubling the agency's responsibilities--first, to publish guidance, and second, to engage in notice and comment rulemaking.  FDA resources will be conserved by avoiding this two-step process.  Further, there is the possibility that once guidance publishes, a regulation might not follow.  As a result, the definition might never have the force and effect of law.

FDA also considered defining or explaining "serious adverse health consequences" in preambles to rules promulgated under the Bioterrorism Act.  However, implementing regulations are not required for all sections of the Bioterrorism Act that incorporate the term.  Thus, the term would not be publicly addressed in the context of all of the applicable sections of the Bioterrorism Act.  Second, because preambles are not codified and incorporated into the Code of Federal Regulations, the context and interpretation of the term eventually may become disassociated from the codified regulations.  Finally, the rule ing of the Bioterrorism Act had already been published or were going to be published soon when this option was considered. Thus, there was insufficient time to include this discussion in the preambles to the current proposed rules for these sections.

FDA also considered adopting one of the two similar definitions for "serious adverse health consequences" or the definition for "serious injury" in the medical devices regulations to promote consistency within the agency and avoid confusion. (In the medical devices reporting regulations, the preamble to the final rule states that "the agency intends for 'serious adverse health consequences' to have the same meaning as 'serious injury' under the [Medical Device Reporting] rule.") This option could promote greater consistency within the agency, avoid confusion, and also save time. However, the agency believes that a broader definition must be used for foods and feeds in order to satisfy Congressional intent.  Specifically, it must be clear that the definition of "serious adverse health consequences," for purposes of the Bioterrorism Act, (1) expressly includes vulnerable populations, and (2) expressly apply to food for humans and animals.  In addition, there are terms incorporating the concept of "serious" in CDER and CDRH regulations. The definitions of these terms are not entirely consistent because they are tailored to the needs of each Center and apply only to specific portions of the applicable regulations, i.e., they have specific uses and contexts.  Thus, a specific definition for "serious adverse health consequences" under the Bioterrorism Act is necessary in order to avoid confusion among differing definitions of "serious," "serious injury," or "serious adverse health consequences" in other regulations, and the context in which these terms are defined and applied.  The proposed definition would apply to: (1) all foods and feeds in bioterrorist events and other public health emergencies; and (2) all populations, vulnerable or healthy, effectively having very wide applicability in a wide variety of emergency situations. Finally, FDA considered leaving the term undefined, thereby providing maximum flexibility for determining what constitutes "serious adverse health consequences" on a case-by-case basis. By not defining, the agency could avoid the potential consequences of a definition that is either too broad or too narrow. However, leaving the term undefined could cause confusion and inconsistency in implementation. Moreover, if an agency action under the Act is challenged, an undefined term will be left to a court's interpretation. A court, however, is not the most appropriate or expert body to decide the meaning of "serious adverse health consequences."]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The impact of this proposed rule will depend on how FDA decides to define the term "serious adverse health consequences," which is used as a standard for taking action under the administrative detention, record keeping, and prior notice provisions of the Bioterrorism Act.  The broader the definition, the greater the cost and benefits associated with it.  For example, if "serious adverse health consequences" were defined to include any case of foodborne illness, then foods would be administratively detained more often than if the definition were limited to cases resulting in death.  A broader definition will mean the term is used more frequently in conjunction with the provisions of the Bioterrorism Act; and therefore, there will be more costs, but there will also be more benefits.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Regulations implementing legislation to protect the health of citizens against bioterrorism and other public health emergencies would advance the development, organization, and enhancement of public health prevention systems and tools.  The magnitude of the risks addressed by such systems and tools is at least as great as the other risk reduction efforts within HHS' jurisdiction.  This proposed rule would support those regulations by defining a key term contained therein, thereby improving FDA's ability to act quickly and consistently in responding to a threatened or actual terrorist attack on the U.S. food supply or to other food-related, public health emergencies.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Quality Standard Regulation Establishing Allowable Level for Arsenic in Bottled Water</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 410 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), not later than 180 days before the effective date of a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a contaminant under section 1412 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is required to issue a standard of quality regulation for that contaminant in bottled water or make a finding that such a regulation is not necessary to protect the public health because the contaminant is contained in water in public water systems but not in water used for bottled water.  The effective date for any such standard of quality regulation is to be the same as the effective date of the NPDWR.  On January 22, 2001, EPA published a final rule revising the existing 0.05 mg/L maximum contaminant level (MCL) for arsenic in public drinking water to 0.01 mg/L (10 ppb).  The effective date for this rule was temporarily delayed for 60 days from March 23, 2001, to a new effective date of May 22, 2001, in accordance with the memorandum of January 20, 2001, from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled "Regulatory Review Plan" (66 FR 7701; January 24, 2001).  On May 22, 2001, EPA announced that it would further delay the effective date for the rule until February 22, 2002, to allow time to complete a reassessment of the information on which the revised arsenic standard is based.  On February 22, 2002, the arsenic MCL of 0.01 mg/L in public drinking water rule became effective and water systems must comply with the new standard for arsenic in public drinking water by January 23, 2006.  In accordance with section 410 of the Act, FDA is required to issue a standard of quality regulation for arsenic in bottled drinking water by July 27, 2005, with an effective date of January 23, 2006, or make a finding that such a regulation is not necessary to protect the public health.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Charging for Investigational Drugs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend FDA's investigational new drug application regulations concerning charging for investigational drugs.  The proposed rule describes the types of investigational uses for which a sponsor may be able to charge, including uses for which charging was not previously expressly permitted, and the criteria for allowing charging for the identified investigational uses.  The proposed rule would also describe the types of costs that can be recovered when charging for an investigational drug.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Human Subject Protection; Foreign Clinical Studies Not Conducted Under an Investigational New Drug Application </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would update the standards for the acceptance of foreign clinical studies not conducted under an investigational new drug application (IND) as support for an IND or marketing application for a drug or biological product.  We are proposing to replace the requirement in 21 CFR 312.120 that non-IND foreign clinical studies be conducted in accordance with ethical principles stated in the Declaration of Helsinki.  We would replace that with a requirement that such studies be conducted in accordance with good clinical practice (GCP), including review and approval by an independent ethics committee.  The proposed GCP standard is consistent with the standard of the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use for GCP and is sufficiently flexible to accommodate differences in how countries regulate the conduct of clinical research and obtain the informed consent of patients.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Ozone-Depleting Substances: Removal of Essential Use Designation; Albuterol</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency, is required to determine whether an FDA-regulated product that releases an ozone-depleting substance (ODS) is essential. The two agencies have tentatively determined that the two currently marketed non-ODS metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) will be satisfactory alternatives to albuterol MDIs that contain ODS, and are proposing to remove the essential use designations for albuterol MDIs. If the essential use designation is removed, albuterol MDIs that contain an ODS could not be marketed after a suitable transition period. The proposed rule will specifically ask for comments on which phase-out period length will best ensure a smooth transition and minimize any adverse affects on the public health.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are organic compounds that contain carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms.  CFCs were first used commercially in the early 1930's and were later found to be useful as propellants in self-pressurized aerosol products, such as MDIs.  CFCs are very stable in the troposphere--the lowest part of the atmosphere.  They move to the stratosphere, a region that begins about 10-16 kilometers (km) (6-10 miles) above Earth's surface and extends up to about 50 km (31 miles) altitude.  Within the stratosphere there is a zone about 15 to 40 km (10 - 25 miles) above the Earth's surfaces in which ozone is relatively highly concentrated.  The zone in the stratosphere is generally called the ozone layer.  Once in the stratosphere, CFCs are broken down by strong ultraviolet light, where they release chlorine atoms that then deplete stratospheric ozone.  Depletion of stratospheric ozone by CFCs and other ODS will lead to higher UVB levels, which in turn will cause increased skin cancers and cataracts and potential damage to some marine organisms, plants, and plastics. 

The link between CFCs and the depletion of stratospheric ozone was discovered in the mid-1970's.  Since 1978, the U.S. government has pursued a consistent policy of limiting the production and use of ODS, including CFCs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act and EPA's implementing regulations contain general prohibitions on the use and manufacture of ODS, such as CFCs.  Exceptions to these bans are provided for specific medical products that FDA, in consultation with EPA, has found to be essential.  FDA's essential use determinations have been contained in 21 C.F.R. section 2.125.
 
FDA published a new 21 C.F.R. section 2.125 in the Federal Register on July 24, 2002 (67 FR 48370), (corrected in the Federal Registers of July 30, 2002 (67 FR 49396) and September 17, 2002 (67 FR 58678)).  Section 2.125 provides criteria for determining when a use is essential and when a use is no longer essential.  The procedures to determine when a use is no longer essential were implemented to better carry out responsibilities under both the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, (September 16, 1987, S. Treaty Doc. No. 10, 100th Cong., 1st sess., 26 I. L. M. 1541 (1987)).
  
Fran Du Melle, Executive Vice President of the American Lung Association, submitted a citizen petition on behalf of the U.S. Stakeholders Group on MDI Transition on January 29, 2003 (Docket No. 03P-0029/CP1).  The petition requested that FDA initiate rulemaking to remove the essential use of albuterol MDIs.  After evaluating the petition, comments submitted in response to the petition, and other information, FDA has tentatively determined that albuterol MDIs meet the criteria in section 2.125 for removal of an essential use.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In the proposed rule, FDA will specifically request comments on the best effective date for any final rule to remove the essential use status of albuterol.  FDA will consider which dates will allow manufacturers to obtain the capacity to produce adequate numbers of non-ODS albuterol MDIs.  FDA will also consider which dates might minimize any financial burden on patients who would have to switch to non-ODS albuterol MDIs.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The expected benefit from this rulemaking, as part of an overall policy to eliminate production and use of ODSs, is the preservation of the Earth's stratospheric ozone.

Currently there are generic versions of ODS albuterol MDIs, while there are no generic non-ODS albuterol MDIs.  This rulemaking could force patients to switch from lower-priced generic versions of ODS albuterol MDIs to higher-priced non-ODS albuterol MDIs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[FDA is concerned about the possibility that some patients might stop using needed drugs because the prices of non-ODS albuterol MDIs might be higher than those of ODS albuterol MDIs.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Investigational New Drugs: Export Requirements for Unapproved New Drug Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule would amend the regulations on the exportation of unapproved new drug products, including biological products, for investigational use. In general, the 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 regulation would amend the regulations governing the format and content of professional labeling for human prescription drug and biologic products, 21 C.F.R. 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.]]></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 described 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 C.F.R. 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA currently has safety reporting requirements in section 21 C.F.R. 312.32 for sponsors of investigational drugs for human use. FDA also has safety reporting requirements in sections 21 C.F.R. 310.305, 314.80, 314.98 and 600.80 and 600.81 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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplements and Other Changes to an Approved Application</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 116 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) added section 506A to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 356a). 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>CGMP for Blood and Blood Components: Notification of Consignees and Transfusion Recipients Receiving Blood and Blood Components at Increased Risk of Transmitting HCV Infection (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 FDA's comprehensive review of the biologics regulations and on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight's, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, as well as on 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 reactive for evidence of HCV. The HIV lookback regulations will be amended for consistency.]]></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 (these activities are often called "lookback"). FDA believes that regulations should be established consistent with the previous recommendations, to assure that 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 (42 U.S.C. 201 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 authority under which FDA can promulgate regulations to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. This rulemaking would assure that appropriate action is taken when blood has been collected 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 that infected donors are notified.  These regulations will therefore help prevent the further transmission of HCV.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA has considered permitting continued voluntary compliance with the recommendations that have already been 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 with the tracing of previous donations of donors, quarantining in-date products, identifying the recipients of previous blood donations, and notifying these recipients, as appropriate. FDA believes that these costs will be more than balanced 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 that there are minimum risks posed by requiring that appropriate lookback procedures for HCV be prepared and followed.]]></RISKS>

        <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 proposed in the Federal Register of March 13, 2003 (68 FR 12158), current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for dietary ingredients and dietary supplements. The proposed rule was published to establish the minimum CGMPs necessary to ensure that, if firms engage in activities related to manufacturing, packaging, or holding dietary ingredients of dietary supplements, they do so in a manner that will not adulterate and misbrand such dietary ingredients or dietary supplements. FDA also proposed to require manufacturers to evaluate the identity, purity, quality, strength, and composition of their dietary ingredients and dietary supplements.  The proposed rule 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 FDA.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA intends to publish a rule to establish 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 CGMPs 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 CGMPs are end product testing and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). The agency asked 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.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The costs of the regulation will include the value of resources devoted to increased sanitation, process monitoring and controls, testing, and written records. The benefits of the proposed regulation are to improve both product safety and quality.  We estimate that the proposed regulation will reduce the number of sporadic human illnesses and rare catastrophic illnesses from contaminated products.  The current quality of these products is highly variable, and consumers lack information about the potential hazards and variable quality of these products.  The product quality benefits occur because there will be fewer product recalls and more uniform products will reduce consumer search for preferred quality products.  The proposed rule will have a significant impact on a substantial number of small businesses, so it will be significant under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We anticipate that small businesses will bear a proportionately larger cost than large businesses.]]></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>

            <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 many 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, at the right time. Most organizations and associations have recommended that the bar code contain, at a minimum, a unique numerical code identifying the manufacturer, product, and package size or type. In addition, some have advocated including the lot number and expiration date.

FDA proposed to require certain drug products to be bar coded. The bar code would contain certain information about the product, such as its National Drug Code number. The bar code, when used in conjunction with bar code scanners and computer equipment, will enable health professionals to decrease the medication error rate.

For blood and blood components intended for transfusion, FDA proposed to require the use of machine-readable informatin in a format approved by the Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.]]></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). 502(a) of the Act prohibits the false or misleading labeling of drugs. 502(f) of the Act requires drug labeling to have adequate directions for use, adequate warnings against use by patients where its use may be dangerous to health, as well as adequate warnings against unsafe dosage or methods or duration of administering in such a manner and form as necessary to protect uses. 

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 C.F.R. 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 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 multiple 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 allowing the use of automatic identification technologies either in place or in addition to the bar code. However, use of incompatible or expensive technologies could deter hospitals and health care professionals from buying scanning or reading equipment.]]></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 approximately $78 million over a 20-year period. 

The rule's principal benefit would be a reduction in the number of medication errors, including reduced mortality and morbidity. FDA's preliminary estimate is that the reduced mortality and morbidity will yield a benefit of $44.8 billion over a 20-year period.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The proposed rule invited comment on whether the final rule should contain a general exemption provision. There is a risk that an exemption provision could result in many exemption requests which, if granted, could reduce the rule's effectiveness.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the sampling plans, test method, and acceptable quality levels in 21 CFR 800.20. As prescribed by this regulation, FDA samples patient examination and surgeons' gloves and examines them for visual defects and water leaks.  Glove lots are considered adulterated if they do not meet specified quality levels. This proposal would clarify sampling plans and the scoring of defects, lower acceptance rates for leaking gloves, raise rejection rates for leaking gloves, and add tightened inspection schemes for reexamined glove lots. The rule is intended to facilitate industry compliance and enhance the safety and effectiveness of gloves.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Detention of Food for Human or Animal Consumption Under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is one of a number of actions being taken to improve FDA's ability to respond to threats of bioterrorism. Section 303 of the Bioterrorism Act authorizes the Secretary, through FDA, to order the detention of food if an officer or qualified employee of FDA has credible evidence or information indicating an article of food presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals. The Act requires the Secretary, through FDA, to issue final regulations to expedite certain enforcement actions (i.e., seizures and injunctions) against perishable foods.  

FDA intends to implement section 303 of the Act by issuing a regulation to provide for: 1) a detention procedure; 2) expedited procedures for enforcement actions with respect to perishable foods; 3) security procedures for detained foods including moving them to a secure facility, as appropriate; and 4) an appeals procedure for detained goods.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 303 of the Bioterrorism Act also amends section 301 of the FFDCA (21 U.S.C. 331) by making it a prohibited act to transfer an article of food in violation of a detention order or to remove or alter any required mark or label identifying the article as detained.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA's decision to promulgate a regulation is based primarily on clear statutory directive to establish regulations, and also on need. The Bioterrorism Act, section 303, clearly states that the Secretary must provide by regulation for procedures for instituting enforcement actions with respect to perishable foods on an expedited basis. 

Section 303 of the Bioterrorism Act also specifies an appeals process that requires the Secretary, after providing for opportunity for an informal hearing, to confirm or terminate a detention order within five days of an appeal. Section 201(x) of the FFDCA (21 U.S.C. 321(x), defines "informal hearing" and describes the requirements necessary for informal hearings. 21 C.F.R. part 16 outlines FDA's informal hearing procedures in greater detail. Part 16 allows minimum timeframes to request and hold an informal hearing, but provides no requirements or limitations on the length of the informal hearing. FDA is finalizing a rule tailored to the administrative detention provisions in the Bioterrorism Act which necessitates some modifications to the provisions in part 16. If FDA were to include the minor modifications in a guidance document, FDA would not be able to enforce the new provisions because guidance documents are not binding (21 C.F.R. 10.115(d)). If FDA chose simply to follow part 16, the agency would run the risk of not providing the presiding officer sufficient time to consider and weigh the evidence for the informal hearing within the statutory timeframes required by the Bioterrorism Act.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[In the analysis of the proposed rule, we estimated that this rule would result in social costs of $0 to $38 million per year due to product transportation, storage, loss of product value during storage, marking or labeling, and the cost of appeals. We may need to revise these estimates after reviewing the comments we received on the proposed rule. Administrative detention would generate benefits because it improves our ability to respond to outbreaks from accidental and deliberate contamination of food, and to deter deliberate contamination.  We have insufficient information to estimate benefits.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Regulations implementing legislation to protect the health of citizens against bioterrorism would advance the development, organization, and enhancement of public health prevention systems and tools. The magnitude of the risks addressed by such systems and tools is at least as great as the other risk reduction efforts within HHS' jurisdiction. These regulations will improve the ability to address credible threats of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is one of a number of actions being taken to improve FDA's ability to respond to threats of bioterrorism. Section 414(b) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which was added by section 306 of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Act), authorizes the Secretary, through FDA, to promulgate final regulations by December 12, 2003. The Act authorizes regulations that require the establishment and maintenance of records, for not longer than two years, that would allow the Secretary to identify the immediate previous sources and the immediate subsequent recipients of food, including its packaging. The required records would be those that are needed by FDA in order to address credible threats of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals. Specific covered entities are those that manufacture, process, pack, transport, distribute, receive, hold, or import food. Farms and restaurants are excluded. The Secretary is directed to take into account the size of a business in promulgating these regulations. Section 306 of the Act also added section 414(a) and amended section 704(a) of FFDCA to permit FDA to inspect these records and other information if the Secretary has a reasonable belief that an article of food is adulterated and presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The events of September 11, 2001, highlighted the need to enhance the security of the U.S. food supply. Congress responded by passing the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act), which was signed into law on June 12, 2002. The regulations will implement section 306 of the Bioterrorism Act.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 306 of the Bioterrorism Act amended the FFDCA by adding section 414(b), which authorizes the Secretary to establish by regulation requirements for the creation and maintenance of records. That section of the Bioterrorism Act also added section 414(a) and amended section 704(a) of the FFDCA to permit FDA to inspect records and other information under certain circumstances. In addition, section 306 of the Bioterrorism Act also amends section 301 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by making the failure to establish or maintain any record required by the new regulations, or refusal to permit access to those records or other information as required by the new regulations, a prohibited act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[None.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The records provisions will be classified as significant under Executive Order 12866 (having an annual effect on the economy of over $100 million). The recordkeeping provisions would impose a substantial cost on industry. A first estimate is that the proposed provisions will cost the food industry approximately $235 million in the first year, approximately $510 million in the second year, and approximately $220 million every year there after.

The provisions will improve substantially FDA's ability to respond to outbreaks from deliberate and accidental contamination of food.  FDA will use data collected by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and FDA on past outbreaks to estimate the benefit of improved documentation in standard tracing investigations. Of the 1,344 food-borne illness outbreaks CDC identified in 1999, only 368 (27 percent) had a confirmed etiology. A host of factors contribute to the inability to identify the cause of an outbreak, but many investigations are hampered by the lack of adequate records identifying the chain of custody of foods. While, it is not possible to directly estimate the benefits of averting a terrorist attack, as we do not know what form an attack might take or the probability of an attack occurring, FDA uses data collected by the agency on past outbreaks to estimate the benefit of the recordkeeping provisions on standard traceback investigations. Specifically we estimate the extent to which improved recordkeeping practices will facilitate faster traceback investigations.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration of Food and Animal Feed Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is one of a number of actions being taken to improve FDA's ability to respond to threats of bioterrorism and other foodborne illness emergencies. Section 415 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which was added by section 305 of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act), directs the Secretary to require any facility engaged in manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding of food for consumption by humans or animals in the United States to be registered with the Secretary through FDA. Section 415 directs the Secretary, through FDA, to promulgate final regulations implementing the requirements by December 12, 2003. The owner, operator, or agent in charge of the facility must submit the registration. Foreign facilities must include the name of the United States agent for the facility. The registration must include the name and address of each facility at which, and all trade names under which, the registrant conducts business. If FDA determines it is necessary through guidance, the registration must include the general food category (as identified under 21 CFR 170.3) of foods manufactured, processed, packed, or held at the facility. The registrant is required to notify the Secretary of changes to the registration in a timely manner. Under the proposed rule, upon receipt of the completed registration form, FDA would notify the registrant of receipt of the registration and assign a unique registration number to the facility. The Bioterrorism Act requires the Secretary to compile and maintain an up-to-date list of registered facilities. This list and any registration documents submitted to the Secretary are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. For purposes of section 415, "facility" includes any factory, warehouse, or establishment engaged in the manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding of food. Exempt from the registration requirement are farms, restaurants, other retail food establishments, nonprofit food establishments in which food is prepared for or served directly to the consumer, and fishing vessels (except those engaged in processing as defined in 21 CFR 123.3(k)). Foreign facilities required to register include only those from which food is exported to the United States without further processing or packaging outside the United States. The Bioterrorism Act provides that if food from an unregistered foreign facility is offered for import into the United States without having registered, the food will be held at the port of entry or at a secure facility, until the foreign facility has registered.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prior Notice of Imported Food Under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is one of a number of actions being taken to improve FDA's ability to respond to threats of bioterrorism. Section 801(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which was added by section 307 of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, authorizes the Secretary, through FDA, to promulgate final regulations by December 12, 2003. Section 801(m) requires notification to FDA prior to the entry of imported food. The required prior notice would provide the identity of the article of food; the manufacturer; the shipper; the grower, if known at the time of notification; the originating country; the shipping country; and the anticipated port of entry. The regulation identifies the parties responsible for providing the notice and explains the information that the prior notice is required to contain, the method of submission of the notice, and the minimum and maximum period of advance notice required. Section 307 also states that if FDA does not receive prior notice or receives inadequate prior notice, the imported food shall be refused admission and held at the port of entry until proper notice is provided.]]></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 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>

The proposal would also permit the use of any automated technique, including differentiation by labeling size and shape, that physically prevents incorrect labeling from being processed by labeling and packaging equipment when cut labeling is used.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration is requiring certain manufacturers of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) to screen and test the donors of cells and tissues used in those products for evidence of, or risk factors for, relevant communicable disease. As part of this action, the agency is amending the current good manufacturing practice regulations that apply to HCT/Ps regulated as drugs, medical devices, and/or biological products to incorporate the new donor eligibility requirements into existing good manufacturing practice regulations for those products.]]></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>Food Labeling: Food Allergen Ingredient Labeling</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this rulemaking is to reduce mortality and morbidity by providing sensitive individuals with additional food allergen information to help them protect themselves from serious allergic reactions, including life-threatening anaphylactic shock.  The eight most common food allergens are: 1) peanuts; 2) soybeans; 3) milk; 4) eggs; 5) fish; 6) crustacea (e.g., lobster, crab, shrimp); 7) tree nuts (e.g., almonds, chestnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts or filberts, cashews, brazil nuts, pistachios, pine nuts); and 8) wheat. The rule would propose to require that foods that contain certain protein ingredients include information on the label in plain English terms that clearly identifies the presence of these ingredients.  

The agency is also proposing to require food allergen labeling on spices, flavors, noncertified colors and incidental additives found in foods as ingredients that contain certain allergic proteins.  Currently, section 403(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act allows spices, flavors and noncertified colors used as ingredients of foods to be declared collectively on the label without naming each one.  Federal regulations at 21 C.F.R. 101.100(a)(3) exempt incidental additives from ingredient declaration on the label if they are present in the food at an insignificant amount and do not have any technical or functional effect in the finished food.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA initiated a review of 21 C.F.R. 511.1 under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The purpose of the section 610 review was to determine if the rule should be amended to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities. FDA solicited and considered 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>

        <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>

        <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) amended 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 the food produced from those animals under conditions of use reasonably certain to be followed in practice" (21 CFR 500.80(a)). Under the previous operational definition of no residue, it was possible for a residue detected by a method approved by FDA to be considered "no residue." FDA revised its regulations to make them consistent with a 1995 Department of Justice opinion regarding this definition. The changes revised the definition of "no residue" to mean that no residue is detected with an approved regulatory method. The rule has several conditions that sponsors of carcinogenic compounds must satisfy with respect to the sponsors' proposed regulatory methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In recent years, media, Government, and consumer reports of deaths and injuries occurring due to the use of seclusion and restraints have heightened concern about these mechanisms as interventions.  The appropriate use of seclusion and restraint has been debated and regulated in various health care settings for many years.  Researchers have examined the use of seclusion and restraint related injuries and deaths, and potential alternatives to address safety and care concerns while posing less inherent risk to the individual.  Patient advocates, States and others have lobbied for reduced and more highly regulated use.  States, health care facilities and professionals have examined mechanisms for reduction, and some have implemented training programs addressing alternatives as well as to promote applications that will minimize patient risk.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Sections 595 through 595B of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 290jj-290jj-2) as amended by the Children's Health (CHA) Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310), section 3207, part I.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[No other regulatory alternatives were considered.  The CHA requires the Secretary to promulgate regulations after consultation with appropriate State, local, public and private protection and advocacy organizations, health care professionals, social workers, facilities, and patients.   Current regulations do exist, in some form, for hospitals and residential treatment facilities, while nursing homes and ICFs/MR use survey guidelines.  The statutory language required that regulations be promulgated within one year of its enactment.  This proposed rule is currently two years behind its mandated time of publication.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The anticipated benefits include enhanced patient safety and better consumer protections.  Increases in staff education and training are expected to lead to treatment alternatives and decreases in the use of seclusion and restraint as a means of intervention, which then leads to less traumatic experiences for both consumers and staff.  The regulation creates a change in facility practices and policies on the use of seclusion and restraint.  The regulation will create standard criteria for nonmedical community-based facilities for children and youth who receive PHS Act funds that will establish an industrywide effect on consumers who are receiving services within these facilities.  The regulation creates consistent criteria for staff training and certification, facility staffing, and defining and reporting on seclusion and restraint.

The anticipated cost is based on regulations that will place requirements on all States as well as a projected estimate of 500 facilities.  At this time, the extent of potential facilities is unattainable until the notice of proposed rulemaking is issued.  It is estimated that the cost will be $7 million a year.  The proposed rule will specifically solicit comments on actual staff training and reporting costs, and it is assumed this cost will decrease since a number of States and/or facilities have existing training and reporting requirements.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risk in implementing the regulation -
1. Increase in cost for States and facilities in staff training, however, most facilities that currently use seclusion and restraint have some general staff training requirements.  The CHA will only expand the content of this training.
2. Increase possibility of States having their PHS funding status in jeopardy due to noncompliance with regulations.  States and industry may raise concern that the CHA's enforcement aspect is too harsh.  
3. Confusion regarding what facilities are covered or not by the regulations as well as different standards for similar facilities based if they are or are not recipients of PHS Act funding.

The risk in not implementing the regulation -
1. Continued unregulated seclusion and restraint in certain Federally funded facilities.
2. Continued incidence as well as under reporting of deaths as a result of seclusion and restraint, or deaths that occur within 24 hours after an individual has been secluded or restrained, or where it is reasonable to assume that the individual's death was caused by being placed in seclusion or restraints.
3. Barrage of continued concerns from advocacy groups, the media and the Congress to publish this regulation, as well as requests from facilities for guidance.
4. Lack of protection for special needs populations, such as children, adolescents, persons with mental illness, developmental disabilities, or co-occurring mental retardation who are disproportionately affected by the usage of seclusion or restraints as a common form of intervention.
5. Lack of direction to organizations, advocacy groups, and more than 500 facilities for common definitions, industry language, and minimum criteria on staff training.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[CMS' present criteria for heart, liver, and lung transplantation centers were developed at a time when the Department's policies were intended to promote long-term survival of transplanted organs through use of patient selection policies that avoided selection of high risk patients and use of unadjusted actuarial survival as a measure of outcome and experience. More than 64,000 Americans are waiting for organ transplants, yet only about 20,000 receive organs annually. About 4,000 persons die each year waiting for an organ to become available. We consider of paramount importance our role in promoting awareness of the organ transplant situation, encouraging increased organ donation, fostering proper stewardship of this scarce national resource, and ensuring that Federal policies result in equitable distribution of organs. While the goal of promoting long-term survival is laudable, we have subsequently concluded that such criteria deter transplantation of high-risk patients, may not promote equitable distribution of organs, and may potentially increase deaths awaiting transplant.

The existing transplant notices address patient selection, patient management, commitment, facility plans, experience and survival rates, maintenance of data, organ procurement, laboratory services, and billing. All policies require facilities to have a minimum of 2 years transplantation experience before applying for Medicare approval. The issue of setting the standards for Medicare-approved transplant facilities is complex and difficult. On one hand, CMS wants to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries are treated only in facilities that provide quality care. As CMS limits the number of centers CMS approve, however we could create limited access to this lifesaving technology. CMS strives to strike a balance between organ allocation and quality of care. While CMS expects facilities to continue to be responsible for appropriate organ transplant policies and protocols for these components, CMS does not believe it is essential for facilities to report the details of these polices.  CMS strongly believes that successful organ transplantation requires the skills and experience of an interdisciplinary team.  Therefore, CMS intends to focus regulations on the actual care being furnished and outcomes of that care. Consequently, CMS is proposing to evaluate facility survival rates and experience. CMS proposes to retain only requirements that are directly related to patient outcomes or that are necessary for data purposes. These requirements are: (1) volume - have performed 20 transplants minimum during the past 4 complete calendar years; (2) data submission - data on numbers of transplants date of transplant, patient diagnosis, patient status, donor types, date of most recent ascertained survival, and length of survival over the past 4 years; (3) outcomes - unadjusted actuarial 1-year patient survival is equal to or greater than the mean risk adjusted for 1-year patient survival for all transplant centers in the Nation less 10 percent points calculated during the last reapproved period. CMS believes these standards requirements are in concert with the Department's commitment to the equitable organ allocation initiative. 

In developing the proposed rule, CMS has given serious consideration to the recommendations from the Institute of Medicine as well as from the panel of the CMS Town Hall Meeting held in December 1999. These recommendations have captured the latest thinking in outcome measures of transplant centers and they entail aspects of facilities linked to coverage, methodologies for measuring outcomes at transplant centers, data used for approving centers, and thresholds for approving centers.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 1102 of the Social Security Act (the Act) authorizes the Secretary to make and publish rules and regulations, as may be necessary to the efficient administration of Section 1871 of the Act states, "The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to carry out the administration of insurance programs under this title." Given the concern that the Department has in ensuring proper stewardship of the Nation's limited organ supply and the concern that CMS has in ensuring the Medicare beneficiaries are afforded high quality health care, CMS believes it is appropriate for the Secretary to use this broad authority to regulate Medicare payment for organ transplantation.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[For the most part, Medicare transplant center criteria have been implemented through a series of notices in the Federal Register.  The exception is the kidney transplant criteria that have been implemented at 42 C.F.R. part 405, subpart U. The use of Federal Register notices to announce the criteria has proven difficult for hospitals desiring to become Medicare approved transplant centers. Hospitals have difficulty in researching the approved criteria and, once it is located, do not know if it is current. CMS believes it is important to codify the requirements for Medicare approval of transplant centers in regulations. Therefore, CMS is proposing to include the transplant center criteria as a component of the hospital conditions of participation.  Thus, the criteria for all five transplant types (heart, liver, lung, kidney, and pancreas) would be located in the same area, for ease of reference and understanding. Another option is to update the current scattered transplant policies and maintain the process-oriented standards without focusing on patient outcomes. However, based on the rationale discussed, CMS believes it is important to promulgate this rule to fulfill our commitment to equitable organ allocation and optimal patient outcomes.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The expected benefits from the proposed rule include easy references and a better understanding of the criteria used by facilities, improved patient outcomes, and facilitation of the most equitable and medically effective use of organs that are donated in trust for transplantation. 

CMS has not yet quantified the costs. Response to the proposed rule should help to determine the cost of there requirements.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[If the CoP Criteria for Approval of Facilities to Perform Medicare-Covered Transplants are not promulgated, the current transplant policies will not allow CMS to take advantage of continuing advances in the health care delivery field or to keep current with growing demands for services, and the distribution of organs will remain inequitable.]]></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[In recent years, media, Government, and consumer reports of deaths and injuries occurring due to the use of restraint or seclusion have heightened concern about these mechanisms as interventions.  Concern about use is nothing new, however; the appropriate use of restraint and seclusion has been debated and regulated in various health care settings for many years.  Researchers have examined the use of restraint and seclusion, related injuries and deaths, and potential alternatives to address safety and care concerns while posing less inherent risk to the individual.  Patient advocates have lobbied for reduced and more highly regulated use.  Health care facilities and professionals have examined mechanisms for reduction, and some have implemented training programs to promote safe application and use.  Reports of injuries and deaths, however, have brought concerns about care and safety to the forefront.  The issue has gained national attention, with a call for regulation across health care settings.

Several highly publicized newspaper articles and Federal reports are the impetus for this regulation. The CHA established a significant collaboration of several important children's health bills. CMS has responsibility for part H, which established certain requirements related to the rights of residents of certain facilities receiving Federal funds.  SAMHSA intends to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to implement part I, which sets forth requirements related to the rights of residents of certain nonmedical, community-based facilities for children and youth.  The CHA establishes for certain facilities common definitions, staff training standards, reporting requirements, and strict enforcement criteria.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Children's Health Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310), section 3207, part H.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[No other regulatory alternatives were considered.  Nevertheless, current regulations exist, in some form, for hospitals and residential treatment facilities, while nursing homes and ICFs/MR use survey guidelines.  The CHA's intent is to develop consistency in requirements across all Federally-funded patient or residential care facilities.  The statutory language required that regulations be promulgated within one year of its enactment.  This proposed rule is currently two years behind its mandated time of publication.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The anticipated benefits include enhanced patient safety and better consumer protections. Increases in staff education and training are expected to lead to treatment alternatives and decreases in the use of restraint and seclusion as a means of intervention, which then leads to less traumatic experiences for both beneficiaries and staff. The regulation creates a change in facility practices and policies on the use of restraint or seclusion as a treatment mechanism.  The regulation will create standard criteria for patient or residential care facilities that receive Federal funds, which will establish an industry wide effect on beneficiaries who are receiving services within these Federal facilities.  The regulation creates consistent criteria for staff training, and defining and reporting on restraint or seclusion.

The anticipated cost is based on regulations that will affect more than 32,350 Medicare and Medicaid funded facilities.  At this time, however, the extent of potential facilities affected is unattainable until comments are received from other HHS agencies.  It is estimated that the cost will be roughly $0.5 billion a year for Federal Medicaid, and $2.5 to $3 billion for all payers.  The proposed rule will specifically solicit comments on actual staff training and reporting costs, and it is assumed this cost will decrease since the majority of facilities currently have training and reporting requirements.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risk in implementing the regulation -
1. Increase in cost for facilities in staff training, however, facilities that currently use restraint or seclusion as a form of intervention have some general staff training requirements.  The CHA will only expand the content of this training.
2. Increase possibility of facilities having their Federal funding status placed in jeopardy due to noncompliance with regulations.  Industry may raise concern that the CHA's enforcement aspect is too harsh.  For nursing homes, argument may occur that the CHA's enforcement goes against the intent of the Congress and its OBRA '87 language to devise other alternative sanctions besides termination from the Medicare or Medicaid programs.
3. Concern from facilities that currently do not have any regulations governing the use of restraints or seclusion (e.g., nursing homes, hospice inpatient facilities, critical access hospitals, however nursing homes have requirements in their survey guidance materials).

The risk in not implementing the regulation -
1. Continued unregulated use of restraint and seclusion in certain Federally funded facilities.
2. Continued under reporting of deaths as a result of restraint or seclusion, or deaths that occur within 24 hours after an individual has been restrained or in seclusion, or where it is reasonable to assume that the individual's death was caused by being placed in restraints or in seclusion.
3. Barrage of continued concerns from advocacy groups and the Congress to publish this regulation, as well as requests from facilities for guidance.
4. Lack of protection for special needs populations, such as children, adolescents, persons with mental illness, developmental disabilities, or co-occurring mental retardation who are disproportionately affected by the usage of restraint or seclusion as a common form of intervention.  
5. Lack of direction to organizations, advocacy groups and more than 32,350 facilities for developing common definition.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The hospital patients' rights regulation was published in the Federal Register as an interim final rule on July 2, 1999 and became effective on August 2, 1999 (see 42 C.F.R. 482.13).  Since then, the hospital industry and physicians have asserted that the requirement that a physician or licensed independent practitioner (LIP) evaluate a patient within one hour of the initiation of an intervention, contained at section 482.13(f)(3)(ii)(C), is too burdensome.  In the interim final rule, we stated "in situations where a restraint must be used for behavior management, increased vigilance is required because of the heightened potential for harm or injury as the patient struggles or resists. Furthermore, there is an immediate need for assessment of what has triggered this behavior and for continuous monitoring of the patient's condition."  Therefore, we specified that a physician or LIP evaluate the patient face-to-face within one hour of the application of restraint or the use of seclusion. 

This proposed rule would allow a hospital to waive the current requirement that a physician or LIP perform a face-to-face evaluation of a patient in restraint or seclusion for behavior management within one hour of the initiation of restraint or seclusion.  In lieu of the one hour face-to-face evaluation by a physician or LIP, the hospital would be able to designate a registered nurse (RN) to perform the evaluation if the hospital also creates a Protections Compliance Committee (PCC) to oversee the hospital's use of restraint or seclusion.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Hospitals must meet certain conditions to participate in the Medicare program that are intended to protect patient health and safety and ensure that high-quality care is provided.  Hospitals receiving payment under Medicaid must meet the CoPs in Medicare.  The statute (42 U.S.C. 1302 and 42 U.S.C. 1395hh) authorizes promulgation of regulations in the interest of the health and safety of individuals who are furnished services in the institution.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We considered modifying the current CoP that requires a physician to perform the one-hour evaluation to allow an appropriately trained RN to perform the evaluation without the added PCC.  However, in response to advocacy group concerns that this would lessen the protections already afforded patients in hospitals, we opted not to use this approach.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Because the provisions of this rule would be voluntary and we have no data to indicate how many hospitals would participate, it is difficult to determine the amount of any economic impact on an individual hospital.  We would expect that a hospital, in choosing this option, would weigh costs and benefits of requiring a physician or LIP to perform the one hour evaluation versus the costs and benefits of forming a Protections Compliance Committee.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This proposed rule is intended to encourage the emphasis of patient safety in hospitals, while offering some relief from perceived burden.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to the Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System and FY 2005 Rates (CMS-1428-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We would revise the Medicare acute hospital inpatient prospective payment system for operating and capital-related costs to implement changes arising from our continuing experience with these systems.  In addition, in the Addendum, we describe 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 apply to discharges on or after October 1, 2004.  We also set forth proposed rate-of-increase limits as well as proposed policy changes for hospitals and hospital units excluded from the prospective payments systems.  (The statute requires that this proposed and subsequent final rule be published by August 1, 2004.)]]></ABSTRACT>

The requirements focus on the actual care delivered to patients by HHAs, reflect an interdisciplinary view of patient care, allow HHAs greater flexibility in meeting quality standards, and eliminate unnecessary procedural requirements. These changes are an integral part of the Administration's efforts to achieve broad-based improvements and measurements of the quality of care furnished through Federal programs while at the same time reducing procedural burdens on providers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 Medicare certification and payment requirements for rural health clinics (RHCs), as required by section 4205 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997(BBA 1997). It changes the definition of a qualifying rural shortage area in which a Medicare RHC must be located; establishes criteria for identifying RHCs essential to delivery of primary care services that we can continue to approve as Medicare RHCs in areas no longer designated as medically underserved; and limits nonphysician practitioner staffing requirements. This rule imposes payment limits on provider-based RHCs and prohibits the use of RHC space, professional staff, equipment, and other RHC resources by another Medicare entity. The rule also requires RHCs to establish a quality assessment and performance improvement program. (The statute required that this rule be published by January 1, 1999.)]]></ABSTRACT>

This final rule will clarify and revise the regulations in response to public comments that were received on the previous interim final rules.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 1902(a)(9)(A) of the Social Security Act (the Act) requires the State health agency or other State medical agency to establish and maintain health standards for private and public institutions in which recipients of medical assistance, under the State plan, may receive care or services.  Section 1905(h) of the Act defines the term "impatient psychiatric hospital services for individuals under age 21" as inpatient services that are provided in an institution (or distinct part hereof) that is a psychiatric hospital or in another in patient setting that the Secretary has specified in regulations.  In this final rule, we are defining "psychiatric residential treatment facilities" as an inpatient setting in conformity with the definition of an institution as set forth in section 1905(h)of the Act.

The Children's Health Act (CHA) of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310), which amended the Public Health Section of the Act to require the health care facilities receiving support in any form from any program supported in whole or in part with funds appropriated to any Federal department or agency shall protect and promote the rights of each resident of the facility, including the right to be free from any restraints or involuntary seclusion imposed for purposes of discipline or convenience.  The Children's Health Act permits the Secretary to issue regulations that afford residents greater protections regarding restraint and seclusion than the standards published in the new law.  Our final rule provides greater protections than those required in section 3207 of the Children's Health Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[None.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The average costs for psychiatric residential treatment facilities to implement this rule are estimated to be around $65 million per year for the first 5 years.

We believe that requirements of this rule will have a direct impact on the use of restraint and seclusion in residential treatment facilities.  Specifically, we are limiting the use of restraint and seclusion to emergency safety situations only and have specifically defined an emergency safety situation for purposes of this rule.  By limiting the use of restraint and seclusion we expect to better protect residents from the use of restraint and seclusion as a means of coercion, discipline, staff convenience, or retaliation.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There is the potential for great risks to facility residents if the current regulations are not revised and reports of inappropriate restraint and seclusion practices continue.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Medicare Appeals Process (CMS-4004-FC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final regulation with comment incorporates recommendations from a Social Security Administration (SSA)/Health and Human Services (HHS) workgroup to improve the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing process. ALJ-conducted hearings for Medicare fee-for-service and managed care cases are governed by SSA disability regulations which apply to SSA disability cases, not to Medicare. Regulations improve the integrity of the appeals process, because they are specific to the adjudication of Medicare cases. They also incorporate the revisions to appeals policy required by section 521 of Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA).]]></ABSTRACT>

This process will apply to provider discharges and service terminations by skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities. The process will be similar to the expedited review process that will be available to Medicare+Choice enrollees beginning in January under our April 4, 2003 final rule.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule removes respiratory assist devices with bi-level capability and a back-up rate from the category of items requiring frequent and substantial servicing, as defined in section 1834 (a)(3) of the Social Security Act, and places them in the category for other items, or capped rental items, as defined in section 1834(a)(7) of the Act. This rule  corrects an error that occurred in 1992, when these devices were inappropriately placed in the category for items requiring frequent and substantial servicing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The amendment to the interim final rule changes the sunset date of regulations under the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 (MHPA).  The MHPA as initially enacted had a sunset date of September 30, 2001.  The implementing regulations published in 1997 included a corresponding sunset date. Subsequent legislation enacted on January 10, 2002, extended the sunset date of the MHPA to December 31, 2002.  Legislation enacted on December 2, 2002, extended the sunset date again, to December 31, 2003. Therefore, this amendment to the 1997 regulations extends the sunset date of the regulations to December 31, 2003, consistent with the MHPA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Health Service 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Human Subjects Protection Regulations: Institutional Review Boards Registration Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice of proposed rulemaking proposes to add subpart F to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations for protection of human subjects, 45 CFR part 46, to require registration of institutional review boards (IRBs) with HHS. The registration information would include contact information, approximate numbers of active protocols involving research conducted or supported by HHS, accreditation status, IRB membership, and staffing for the IRB. The proposed registration requirements will make it easier for the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) to convey information to IRBs, and will support the current IRB registration operated by OHRP. Under the current OHRP IRB registration system, the submission of certain registration information is required by human subjects protection regulations, and certain other information may be submitted voluntarily. This proposed information collection was submitted to the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Under the proposed rule, all registration information will be required, making the IRB registration system uniform with IRB registration requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and creating a single, HHS IRB Registration system. FDA will simultaneously publish a proposed rule regarding FDA IRB registration requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safeguarding Child Support and Expanded Federal Parent Locator Services (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[This proposed rule will enable States (including the District of Columbia) and territories to use either the "primary program" cost allocation methodology previously allowed under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program to allocate the common administrative costs of determining eligibility in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, the Medicaid program, and the Food Stamp programs or to continue to use a "benefiting" cost allocation methodology.  Pursuant to a determination by Secretary Thompson, States and territories would be able to elect to use their Federal TANF funds to pay for costs that are common to the administration of the TANF, Medicaid, and Food Stamps Programs, in accordance with the primary program cost allocation methodology previously allowed under the former AFDC program.]]></ABSTRACT>

Regulation is needed to enable the Department to: 1) determine a basis for and amounts of civil money penalties that may be levied pursuant to the above-cited statute; and 2) establish procedures for the conduct of investigations and hearings with respect to the imposition of such penalties.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This regulation will implement provisions of 42 U.S.C. 1320d-5 and 42 U.S.C. 1320a-7a relating to the imposition of civil money penalties by the Secretary for violations of the rules adopted by the Secretary pursuant to subtitle F.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The proposed procedural provisions of the rule would generally follow the civil money penalty procedures adopted by the Department's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) with respect to the conduct of investigation and hearings regarding the imposition of civil money penalties in cases of fraud and abuse.  These procedures are codified at 45 C.F.R. parts 1003, 1005, and 1006.  While the Department considered adopting different procedures, it decided not to do this for several reasons: the statutory language in section 1320d-5 specifically referring to the procedures adopted under section 1320a-7a (i.e., the OIG rules); the extensive experience of industry with the OIG rules; and the general agreement within the Department that the OIG rules provide workable procedures.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The costs of this rule will consist primarily of the costs incurred by both the Department and any covered entities that are attributable to the investigation and hearing processes.  These costs are expected to be minimal.  Costs associated with compliance by entities subject to the HIPAA Administrative Simplification standards are not attributable to this rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action establishes procedures for the Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Secretary, necessary to implement the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) (FOIA) and the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) (Privacy Act). Except to the extent a Department component has adopted separate guidance under FOIA or the Privacy Act, the provisions of this subpart shall apply to each component of the Department. FOIA provides for the full disclosure of agency records and information to the public unless that information is exempted under clearly delineated statutory language. The Privacy Act serves to safeguard public interest in informational privacy by delineating the duties and responsibilities of Federal agencies that collect, store, and disseminate personal information about individuals. The procedures established here ensure that the Department fully satisfies its responsibility to the public to disclose departmental information while simultaneously safeguarding individual privacy. The Privacy Act serves to balance the Government's need to maintain information about individuals with the rights of individuals to be protected against unwarranted invasions of their privacy stemming from Federal agencies' collection, maintenance, use, and disclosure of personal information about them. Agencies are required to issue regulations outlining the agency's rules and procedures for implementation of the Privacy Act and its provisions in the agency.  This includes procedures on how individuals may request access to information about themselves, request amendment or correction of those records, and request an accounting of disclosures of their records by the Department.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection of Non-Tax Debts Owed to the Department of Homeland Security</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) debt collection regulations to conform to the Debt Collection Act of 1982, Public Law 97-365, 96 Stat. 1749 (October 25, 1982), as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), Public Law 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321, 1358 (April 26, 1996), the Federal Claims Collection Standards, 31 CFR chapter IX (parts 900 through 904), and other laws applicable to the collection of non-tax debt owed to the Government. This regulation provides procedures for the collection of non-tax debts owed to DHS entities.
 
DHS adopts the Governmentwide debt collection standards promulgated by the Departments of the Treasury and Justice, known as the Federal Claims Collection Standards (FCCS), as revised on November 22, 2000 (65 FR 70390), and supplements the FCCS by prescribing procedures consistent with the FCCS, as necessary and appropriate for DHS operations. DHS entities may, but are not required to, promulgate additional policies and procedures consistent with this regulation, the FCCS, and other applicable Federal laws, policies, and procedures. This regulation also provides the procedures for the collection of debts owed to other Federal agencies when a request for offset is received by DHS.

This regulation does not apply to the collection of tax debts, which is governed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and regulations, policies, and procedures issued by the Internal Revenue Service or other Federal agency collecting tax debts.
 
Nothing in this regulation precludes the use of collection remedies not contained in this regulation. For example, DHS entities may collect unused travel advances through setoff of an employee's pay under 5 U.S.C. 5705. DHS entities and other Federal agencies may simultaneously use multiple collection remedies to collect a debt, except as prohibited by law.]]></ABSTRACT>

Except to the extent a Department component has adopted separate guidance under 31 U.S.C. 1352, the provisions of this subpart shall apply to each component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
  
This regulation establishes procedures concerning general prohibitions on lobbying, and the use of certain appropriated funds and the appropriate penalties for violations of those prohibitions. The purpose of the procedures is to ensure that neither the recipients of appropriated funds nor the employees of DHS inappropriately solicit for action by the Congress.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Grounds of Inadmissibility; Exceptions and Waivers for Immigrants and Nonimmigrants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking covers several grounds of inadmissibility applicable to those aliens seeking admission to the United States temporarily or permanently--criminal, security, labor certification, licensure requirements for foreign medical graduates and health care workers, failure to attend a removal proceeding, fraud, improperly issued immigrant visa, permanent ineligibility for U.S. citizenship and miscellaneous grounds. 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Immigrant Juvenile Petitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department proposes to amend its regulations to add eligibility and consent requirements for approvals of special immigrant juvenile petitions (Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant). 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 8, 1995, at 60 FR 29751, the Department 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 extended the category again for an additional three years, until October 1, 2003. This regulation will implement the extension of this category and modify qualifying employment experience requirements for those persons affected by this provision of immigration regulations. In order to maintain consistency in the adjudication of nonimmigrant and special immigrant religious worker classifications, the nonimmigrant religious workers classification will, where appropriate, reflect the special immigration religious worker changes.]]></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 Department of Homeland Security 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 Department 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 that have implemented the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption. 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) (Pub. L. 106-279). The proposed rule would also make other technical changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend Department regulations concerning the adjudication of requests for fee waivers filed by applicants for DHS 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 rule proposes amending Department regulations for persons using section 245(k) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to adjust status to that of lawful permanent resident (LPR). Section 245(k) of the Act allows an alien with an approved employment-based petition to adjust status to LPR despite violations of status if those violations have lasted no longer than 180 days since the alien's last entry. This rule proposes eligibility criteria and adjustment procedures for persons wishing to use this section of the Act to become an LPR without leaving the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (ACWIA), the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 (AC21), 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. An earlier piece of legislation, the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA), Public Law 105-277, was enacted to place certain conditions on the employment of H-1B workers. 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 FY 2000-2002 and the percentage of the fees that DHS receives to 4 percent. It exempts certain aliens from the numerical cap, provides for the "portability" of employment authorization, and in certain circumstances extensions of stay for certain aliens who have permanent residence applications pending. Public Law 105-277 imposes penalties for employers violating certain representations and prohibits retaliation against H-1B workers who disclose these violations. Finally, on November 2, 2002, the President approved enactment of Public Law 107-273. The Twenty First Century Department of Justice Appropriations Act (21st Century DOJ Appropriations Act), which codified a provision that amends section 106(a) of AC21.  This regulation clarifies several interpretive questions raised by the bills and ensures that the Department practice is consistent with these laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>DHS rule 1615-AG11 implemented the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA); it was the result of a prior rule that was overtaken by new legislation relating to H-1B classification. ACWIA increased the numerical cap on H-1B nonimmigrant aliens; required certain dependent employers to make additional attestations to the Department of Labor (DOL); increased the penalties for employers who have been found to be in violation of DOL&apos;s rules; and created a &quot;whistleblower&quot; clause to protect H-1B workers who filed complaints against their employer.  

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 Immigration and Nationality Act 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 Secretary 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 Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department has solicited comments from the public on the issue of aliens admitted to the U.S. as B nonimmigrant visitors whose intent is to engage in construction work during the alien's stay. In particular the Department is exploring the feasibility of defining the term construction as it relates to B nonimmigrant visitors. A standard definition of construction may assist both the public and the Department in determining if an alien admitted as a B nonimmigrant visitor may engage in construction during his or her period of authorized stay. The Department is considering a rulemaking on this subject.]]></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 section 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 United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 two years before they are eligible to change to a different nonimmigrant classification or apply for lawful permanent residence in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend DHS regulations by enabling it to issue Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for those applying for work authorization under 8 CFR 274a.12(c)(9) for a validity period of up to two years. This category is reserved for those applying for adjustment of status, having filed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, with the Department. The rule change would give DHS the flexibility to issue EADs for the length of time it anticipates that adjudication of a given case will take.]]></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 United States 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 United States illegally or stayed in the United States longer than authorized (section 212(a)(9)(B) of the Act); or they entered the United States 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 United States of any ineligible alien would not adversely affect the national welfare, safety, or security of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Classification for Victims of Certain Criminal Activity; Eligibility for the U Nonimmigrant Status</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets forth application requirements for a new nonimmigrant status. The U classification is for non-U.S. Citizen/Lawful Permanent Resident victims of certain crimes who cooperate with an investigation or prosecution of those crimes. There is a limit of 10,000 principals per year.

This rule establishes the procedures to be followed in order to petition for the U nonimmigrant classifications. Specifically, the rule addresses: the essential elements that must be demonstrated to receive the nonimmigrant 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule clarifies that, if the Administrative Procedure Act provides the authority for judicial review, a person must exhaust all administrative appeals available as a matter of right before the person may seek judicial review of a Department decision under the Immigration and Nationality Act that is within the appellate jurisdiction of the Board of Immigration Appeals or of the Associate Commissioner for Examinations. This amendment is necessary to prevent the filing of premature lawsuits, by ensuring that the proper administrative appellate authority has the opportunity to review and correct any errors in the original decision before the party may seek judicial review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes procedures to terminate on notice the lawful permanent resident status of an alien who has remained outside the country for a continuous period of over one year since his or her departure from the United States, if it is determined that such alien has abandoned his or her permanent residency and is no longer eligible for admission as a returning resident. This process will allow the Department to terminate the status of a permanent resident due to abandonment when it becomes aware of that fact rather than, as is current practice, having to wait for such alien to present himself or herself for inspection at a port-of-entry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule concerns the duration of status for nonimmigrants in the F (student), J (exchange visitor), and I (media representative) categories. This rule will set forth standards and procedures for the admission of certain nonimmigrants in these categories for a fixed period (subject to extension) rather than for the duration of their course of study, exchange program, or approved employment. This action will allow the Department to more effectively ensure that affected nonimmigrants are engaging in activities consistent with their classification and to take necessary action. By ensuring more effective control over nonimmigrants in the United States, this rule will enhance the integrity of the immigration process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule proposes to adjust the immigration benefit application fee by $5 to recover costs associated with performing additional security checks on all immigration benefit applications. Fees collected from persons filing immigration benefit applications are deposited into the Immigration Examinations Fee Account and used to fund the full cost of processing immigration benefit applications and associated support benefits; the full cost of providing similar benefits to asylum and refugee applicants; and the full cost of similar benefits provided to other immigrants, as specified in the regulation, at no charge. Federal guidelines require the Department of Homeland Security to establish and collect fees to recover the full cost of processing benefit applications. These security checks are necessary to try to protect the United States from future terrorist attacks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Employment Authorization Eligibility for Certain Applicants and to Standards for Determining a Frivolous Asylum Application</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the employment authorization and asylum regulations to restrict employment authorization for certain applicants facing cancellation of removal status and to modify the standard by which the Immigration Court may find an asylum application frivolous. In addition, the amendment will clarify that the Department's decision to grant employment authorization on the basis of certain pending applications is discretionary. The Department is proposing these amendments to curb abuse of the immigration system by nonbona fide asylum applicants who improperly use the asylum process as a vehicle to be placed in proceedings in Immigration Court to obtain nonasylum-related employment authorization or who submit abusive, fraudulent or clearly baseless asylum applications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States Regarding Asylum Claims Made at Land Border Ports-of-Entry and Applicability of Other Asylum Ba</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security proposes to amend asylum regulations governing the credible fear process to permit asylum officers to apply certain mandatory bars to asylum during the credible fear interview. The proposed rule is necessary for two reasons. First, the terms of a recently signed agreement between the United States and Canada bar certain categories of aliens arriving from Canada at land border ports of entry and in transit from Canada from formally applying for protection in the United States. Second, national security concerns necessitate a more thorough solicitation and analysis of facts to determine whether aliens in the credible fear process are clearly subject to a bar to asylum based on criminal or terrorist activities. This proposed rule would establish asylum officers' and immigration judges authority to make negative credible fear determinations based on these bars.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waiver of Criminal Grounds of Inadmissibility for Immigrants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is in the process of reorganizing section 212 of title 8 of the Federal regulations. This regulation will create subsection C of 8 CFR 212, which covers criminal grounds of inadmissibility listed in section 212(a)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (Pub. L. 104-208) revised section 212(a)(2) of the INA, and subsequent laws revised it further. This regulation will implement those sections of law. Previously, this regulation was part of a larger 212 regulation (CIS No. 1413-97, RIN 1615-AA00), but due to the desire for clarity and the need to have different DHS components concentrate on different areas of inadmissibility, these criminal sections have been reported in a separate regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DHS is in the process of reorganizing section 212 of title 8 of the Federal regulations. This regulation will create subsection C of 8 CFR 212, which covers criminal grounds of inadmissibility listed in section 212(a)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (Pub. L. 104-208) revised section 212(a)(2) of the INA, and subsequent laws revised it further. This regulation will implement those sections of law. Previously, this regulation was part of a larger 212 regulation (CIS No. 1413-97, RIN 1115-AB45), but due to the desire for clarity and the need to have different DHS components concentrate on different areas of inadmissibility, these criminal sections have been broken out into a separate regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of Status to That of Person Admitted for Permanent Residence: Conditional Residents and Fiance(e)s</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends Department regulations by clarifying that an alien remains ineligible for adjustment of status after termination of conditional permanent resident status. The clarification is necessary in view of the determination by the Board of Immigration Appeals that the current regulations do not prohibit the adjustment of status of an alien whose conditional resident status has been terminated. This final rule would also modify provisions regulating the adjustment of status of nonimmigrant fiance(e)s to reflect the current statue and to eliminate hardships on certain persons who are unable, despite their good faith intentions, to marry until after the expiration of the alien spouse's period of admission as a nonimmigrant fiance(e).]]></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 that 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 DHS 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends DHS regulations by establishing that an individual (the sponsor) who files an affidavit of support under section 213A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (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[Over the last several years, the Department 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 interim final rule: 1) codified existing DHS policy statements by incorporating them into the Department's regulations; and 2) eliminated the requirement for permission for overseas travel for adjustment applicants who are maintaining H-1 or L nonimmigrant status. The Department is publishing a final rule in response to public comments.]]></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 a DHS-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 November 17, 1997, 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 prior to issuance of final regulations.

The proposed rule for the Verification of Eligibility for Public Benefits was published on August 4, 1998, 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 two-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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Suspension of Deportation and Special Rule Cancellation of Removal for Certain Nationals of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Former Soviet Bloc Countries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 203 of the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA), enacted as title II of Public Law No. 105-100, 111 Stat. 2160, 2193 (1997) (as amended by Technical Corrections to the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA), Public Law 105-139, Stat. 2644 (1997)). Section 203 of NACARA provides that certain Guatemalans, Salvadorans, and nationals of former Soviet Bloc countries are eligible to apply for cancellation of removal under the standards for suspension of deportation similar to those that existed prior to enactment of Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). The rule establishes the authority of DHS asylum officers to adjudicate certain applications under section 203 of NACARA, provides application and adjudication procedures, identifies factors and standards relevant to eligibility, and establishes a rebuttable presumption of extreme hardship for certain NACARA beneficiaries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department 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, DHS 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. DHS regulations require that sponsorship agreements be secured before an applicant is granted admission as a refugee at a U.S. port-of-entry. 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 Department regulations by removing language that erroneously implies that DHS 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 DHS interviews before sponsorship agreements have been secured.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Battered and Abused Conditional Residents; Termination of Marriage by 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 two 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 published on May 16, 1991, 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. This interim rule implements certain technical changes made by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 and addresses comments received in response to the interim rule published on May 16, 1991.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department 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 residents 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waiving the Fingerprinting Requirement for Certain Disabled Naturalization Applicants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, all naturalization applicants filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, are required to be fingerprinted on Form FD-258 Applicant Card for the purpose of conducting criminal background checks by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This rule amends Department 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>

        <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 Department 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 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 regulations that govern establishing asylum eligibility by providing 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. Finally, this rule establishes circumstances under which the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) must remand proceedings to the Immigration Judge to resolve questions of fact.]]></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 Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This rule amends DHS 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 advance parole authorization (Form I-131, Application for Travel Document) while the Form I-485 is pending.]]></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 Act) 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 the LIFE Act 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 the LIFE Act also states that an alien who has become eligible for benefits under NACARA/HRIFA as a result of the enactment of the LIFE Act 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 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 final rule (CIS 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 a person admitted for lawful residence. This rule establishes procedures for a one-year application period to allow CSS, LULAC, and Zambrano class applicants to apply for adjustment of status to that of lawful permanent residence.

CIS No. 2145-01 amends the Department'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>

        <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, Adjustment of Status of Certain Syrian Nationals, 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 final rule discusses eligibility and sets forth application procedures for persons wishing to adjust status on the basis of Public Law 106-378. The Department issued this action as an interim rule because Public Law 106-378 provided for a one-year application period, which ended on October 26, 2001. Publication of the interim final rule ensured that applicants were provided with as much time as possible to apply for the benefits under Public Law 106-378. The Department is now circulating 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 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 nonimmigrant classification 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 Department of Homeland Security and provides guidance to the public on how to meet certain requirements to obtain T nonimmigrant status.

There is a statutory cap for T nonimmigrant status for victims of a severe form of trafficking (principals), which is set at 5,000 per annum. The law also provides that certain family members can derive T status through the principal's application.]]></ABSTRACT>

These changes will enhance the Deprtment's authority under sections 214(a) and 248 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and will help lessen the probability that alien visitors will establish permanent ties in the United States and thus remain in the country illegally.]]></ABSTRACT>

DHS currently accepts fees at seven locations in three of its 33 districts. DHS proposes to implement credit card acceptance at 16 of these districts.

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration Requirements and Work Authorization Eligibility for Aliens in the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends DHS regulations regarding employment authorization and registration of aliens. First, this rule broadens the rule that permits the presentation of specified documents to satisfy the employment eligibility verification requirements for a temporary period. Second, this rule broadens the acceptable documentation available to establish that an asylee, or an alien who has applied for asylum, has complied with the requirement to be registered with the Department. Third, this rule clarifies the employment authorization regulations by specifying that certain classes of aliens who are employment authorized incident to status are not required to apply for or obtain an Employment Authorization Document, but are permitted to do so if they wish to have a DHS-issued secure photo identity document. Fourth, this rule implements two new Federal laws enacted on January 16, 2002, involving the employment authorization of the spouses of E and L aliens, by making these classifications employment authorized incident to status, consistent with the provisions of these laws. This rule also provides for restructuring of 8 CFR 274a.12(d).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Withholding of Adjudication</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation expands the situations where a director can withhold the adjudication of an application or petition. The director may withhold adjudication at six-month increments while there is an ongoing investigation relating to that application or petition. Any regulatory deadlines will be tolled while adjudication is withheld. The director will give notice of withholding to the petitioner or applicant if it will not prejudice the investigation. The Department is now conducting security checks on all applicants and petitions, so this rule is necessary to ensure that immigration benefits are not granted while there is an ongoing investigation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule eliminates the 5,500 annual limit on the number of Mexican professional admissions under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It also eliminates the associated requirement of a petition on Form I-129 and the certified labor condition application. Rather than submit a petition to DHS, aliens seeking TN classification will apply for a TN visa from the State Department. This rule brings the treatment of Mexican TNs under NAFTA closer to that of Canadian TNs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Border Commuter Student Act of 2002</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements recent legislation creating new visa classifications applicable to part-time students who commute across the border.  Previously, DHS created an option for F-1 and M-1 nonimmigrant students to enroll in a reduced courseload if the nonimmigrant maintained residence in their home country of Mexico or Canada and commuted to schools within five miles of the border.  These special F-1 and M-1 nonimmigrants were required to pursue a full course of study albeit at part-time enrollment.  This rule has been drafted to effect Congressional legislation that created new visa classifications, F-3 and M-3, for border commuter student nonimmigrants.  The F-3 and M-3 visa categories replace the option of reduced courseload for border commuter students within the F-1 and M-1 visa categories.  When this rule is made effective, any student wishing to enroll in a reduced  courseload for purposes of commuting must obtain an F-3 or an M-3 visa accordingly. These students, however, will not be required to pursue a full course of study. The F-3 and M-3 visa holders will be tracked in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System administered by DHS and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Classification of Certain Scientists of the Commonwealth of Independent States of the Former Soviet Union and the Baltic States as Employment based Immigrants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Soviet Scientists Immigration Act of 1992 (SSIA) provided for 750 visas to be provided to eligible scientists and engineers from the former Soviet Union. This Program expired on October 24, 1996.  Recent legislation extended the eligibility deadline for filling under the SSIA to September 30 2006, and raised the numerical limit on these visas from 750 to 950.  It also required DHS to consult with the Department of State and other agencies regarding previous experiences with the program and their recommendations for making the program more effective. This rule improves administration of the program by requiring each applicant to submit a statement signed by the State Department's Bureau of Nonproliferation (Bureau) regarding his or her qualifications.  Because the Bureau has been in close contact with this group of scientists and with the organizations that have employed them for a number of years, the Bureau is in a better position than DHS to assess the individual applicant's qualifications.  Accordingly, this signed statement will be submitted for the evidence of qualifications previously required under the program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule amends the regulations of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to enable certain petitioners to file O and P nonimmigrant petitions up to one year prior to the petitioners' need for the alien's services.  Petitioners frequently plan for an event or performance more than one year in advance when seeking O and/or P nonimmigrant workers for employment in the United States.  By extending the filing time requirement for O and P petitions from the current six months to one year, DHS hopes to provide relief and assurance to petitioners that, if approvable, such petitions will be approved prior to the date of the petitioners' need for the alien's services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Current filing times combined with processing times often result in an O or P petition being adjudicated at the same time or later than the date of the petitioner&apos;s stated need for the alien.  This creates a hardship for employers who are seeking to hire the alien based on a scheduled performance, competition, or event, and who may have booked a venue and sold advance tickets.  If the petition is not approved by the time of the petitioner&apos;s stated need, the petitioner may be required to cancel a scheduled event or performance, may lose funds advanced for booking a venue, and may also be liable for the costs associated with ticket refunds.  Since an O or P employer may plan for the competition, event, or performance more than one year in advance, DHS has determined that extending the filing time will provide relief to many such employers. 

Although this rule may have an impact on small entities, the rule has been drafted in a way to minimize the economic impact that it has on small business while meeting its intended objective.  This rule will ensure that certain O and P nonimmigrant petitions are adjudicated well in advance of the date of the employers&apos; stated need, and thus prevent employers from having to cancel an event, competition, or performance either because the petition was denied at the last minute, or because the petition was not adjudicated in advance of the need.  Employers will be less likely to lose booking costs or have to issue refunds if they receive a decision on the petition well in advance of the event, competition, or performance. Extending the time requirements for the filing of O and P petitions will provide immediate relief to affected United States employers, and any economic impact on small entities is likely to be positive.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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 Department is conducting this review in conjunction with IIRIRA implementation. The proposed rulemaking published February 12, 1998, 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 April 3, 1998. The Department is analyzing the comments and taking into consideration issues raised by the Alien Registration Form (I-551) program. It should be noted that this action supersedes the previously published regulatory action 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. 

CIS No. 1947-98, Interim Rule published February 9, 1999 (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.]]></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, and by the need to coordinate policy issues with the Border Security Act of 2002 and, more generally, the post-September 11th environment in which document security is of a paramount concern.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations implement provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act as established by section 302 of the Immigration Act of 1990, Public Law 101-649, which allow for the establishment and implementation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Currently, nationals of countries have been accorded TPS through the publication of separate Federal Register Notices. 

Current regulatory actions include: 

CIS No. 1608 provides for exceptions to deadlines for registering for TPS and updates the application process. 

CIS No. 1612 provides for the removal of obsolete TPS language.

CIS No. 2229 terminates TPS for Sierra Leone.]]></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 Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). An interim final 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, Employment Eligibility Verification). 

This interim final rule was 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, Arrival-Departure Record, 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>Adoption of Siblings, Adopted Alien Children Less Than 18 Years of Age Considered a &quot;Child&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 alien has a younger sibling, under the age of 16, who is also the subject of an orphan petition held by the same U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. 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>

The EFOIA requires that we maintain, and provide to the public, a record in either paper or electronic format and maintain an electronic reading room.

        <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 United States 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 Secretary.

The Department published an interim rule (CIS No. 1879-97) to address shortages in the occupations of nursing and occupational therapy on October 14, 1998. In addition, DHS 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 (CIS No. 1979-99) was published under RIN 1115-AF43 and now is consolidated with this Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations entry. A third interim rule (CIS No. 2089-00) was published on January 16, 2001, to address certification requirements for Speech Language Pathologists, Audiologists, Medical Technologists, and Physician Assistants. The Department also published a related rule in response to the passage of the NRDAA, (CIS No. 2050-00). In the rule, DHS announced that it would continue to waive the certification requirements for nonimmigrant nurses, pending the promulgation of new regulations implementing the certification requirements for section 343.

On October 11, 2002, the Department published a proposed rule (CIS No.2080-02) to fully implement section 343, including solicitation of public comments on the 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 and listing approved English language tests and requisite scores. The Department will publish a final rule implementing the proposals and taking into account the comments received in response to the October 11, 2002, proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule amends Department 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requiring Recertification of All Service-Approved Schools for Enrollment in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2001, the President issued Homeland Security Directive No. 2 requiring the Department to conduct periodic reviews of all institutions certified to receive nonimmigrant students. The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002, Public Law 107-173, enacted May 14, 2002, also requires a periodic review of school approvals.  

This rule governs the review and certification process that DHS uses to approve schools to enroll foreign students. It also continues the implementation of the process by which schools may be approved to obtain access to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). While the Department has in place an existing process for certifying and decertifying schools, DHS is requiring that all previously approved schools must apply for certification in accordance with these new mandates cited above, prior to being allowed to enroll in SEVIS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reduced Course Load for Certain F and M Nonimmigrant Students at Border Communities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department regulations governing F and M nonimmigrants. This rule will clarify that nonimmigrant aliens who reside outside the United States and regularly commute across a land border to study may do so on a part-time basis within the F or M nonimmigrant category. It is common for aliens residing outside the United States, such as in Canada or Mexico, to enroll part-time in border educational institutions to enter the United States daily to pursue part-time studies. This rule will prevent the significant disruption of part-time study that has become an accepted fact of life along the border and a settled expectation. Additionally, these changes are being made to facilitate and legitimize certain part-time study along border communities while ensuring that all applicable requirements and safeguards are met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Readjustment of Immigration Benefit Application Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 24, 2003, the Department published an interim final rule in the Federal Register adjusting the immigration benefit application fee schedule by subtracting the applicable amount of surcharges used for asylum and refugee services, fee exemptions and fee waivers. The Department was required to take that action under provisions of section 457 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296. However, Congress has now repealed that section in the Homeland Security Act Amendments of 2003. Accordingly, this rule readjusts the immigration benefit application fee schedule to the levels that existed prior to January 24, 2003. Fees collected from persons filing immigration benefit applications are deposited into the Immigration Examinations Fee Account and recover the cost of processing immigration benefit applications and associated administrative costs and the costs of asylum applications pursuant to law. Federal guidelines require the Department to establish and collect fees to recover the full costs of processing immigration benefit applications.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 six credit hours if the student is an undergraduate, or three credit hours if the student is in graduate school.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations governing the processing of applications and petitions relating to the immigration of alien orphans. The amendment to the rule establishes that the Director of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services may, at his or her discretion, extend the validity period for a decision approving an Application for Advanced Processing of Orphan Petition (Form I-600A), either in an individual case or for any case within a designated class of cases because of delays in completing the adoption process due to public health concerns relating to the incidence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).  This amendment will permit DHS to more readily accommodate prospective adoptive parents who have been unable to comply with the requirement to file a Petition to Classify Orphan as an Immediate Relative (Form I-600) within 18 months of the Form I-600A approval date.]]></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 (OSLTF) is available without further appropriation to pay trustee NRD claims under the general claims provisions of the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) of 1990, 33 U.S.C. 2712(a)(4). Release of the more comprehensive notice of proposed rulemaking has been delayed while the Coast Guard gained experience on NRD claims, as well as other OPA damages. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will propose amendments to the existing traffic separation schemes (TSS): in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and its approaches; in Puget Sound and its approaches; in Haro Strait, Boundary Pass, and in the Strait of Georgia. These amendments are approved by the International Maritime Organization and have been validated by several recent vessel routing studies. With the amendments in place, commercial vessels would be routed farther offshore when entering or departing the TSS, providing an extra margin of safety and environmental protection in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and adjacent waters. This rulemaking will incorporate the modified TSS into the Code of Federal Regulations. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of safety and protecting the marine environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Documentation:  Lease Financing for Vessels Engaged in the Coastwise Trade; Second Rulemaking (USCG-2003-14472)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations on documentation,  under the lease-financing provisions, of vessels engaged in the coastwise trade. This rule's provisions would address several issues. One concerns whether the Coast Guard should prohibit or restrict the chartering back of a lease-financed vessel to the parent of the vessel owner or to an affiliate or subsidiary of the parent. The second concerns the question of whether applications for an endorsement under the lease-financing provisions should be reviewed and approved by an independent third party with expertise in vessel chartering. The third concerns limitations on the grandfather provisions. These proposals would amend the final rule (USCG-2001-8825) on vessel documentation under lease financing. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Zone for Outer Continental Shelf Facility in the Gulf of Mexico (CDG08-03-028)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes the establishment of a safety zone around a petroleum and gas production facility in Green Canyon 645 of the Outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico while the facility is being constructed and after the construction is completed.  The construction site and facility need to be protected from vessels operating outside the normal shipping channels and fairways, and placing a safety zone around this area would significantly reduce the threat of allisions, oil spills and releases of natural gas.  The proposed rule would prohibit all vessels from entering or remaining in the specified area around the facility's location 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.  This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Fishing-Industry Vessels (USCG-2003-16158)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would add new and clarify existing rules for commercial fishing vessels in 46 CFR part 28.  It would also establish rules on stability and watertight integrity for fishing vessels under 79 feet in length and institute regulations for the carriage of immersion suits in seasonally cold waters.  To improve crew preparedness in case of an emergency, this project would also add requirements such as mandatory logging of already required drills, providing evidence of training, and ensuring that personnel required to be trained are current in their training.  The project would amend 46 CFR part 28 to clarify and improve the consistency of the regulatory language so to aid in vessels compliance with the existing rules.  This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety and Security Zone Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard uses these routine and frequent regulations to establish control of access to areas to ensure the safety or security of events, vessels, waterfront facilities, or individuals. Many of these zones are of short duration, ranging from a few hours to a few days, and all are geographically limited in area. 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, controversial events such as transport of spent nuclear fuel, and in response to the threat of terrorist attacks. Safety and security zones are promulgated by Captains of the Port or District Commanders. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's strategic goals of marine safety, mobility, maritime security, and national defense. The total actions expected from November 1, 2003, to October 31, 2004, are 300.]]></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. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety. The total actions expected from November 1, 2003, to October 31, 2004, are 10.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking was 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 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[These routine and frequent special local regulations ensure the safety of participants and spectators during regattas and marine parades. The regulations or rules specify such controls 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 in nature, usually applying to a single event not exceeding eight hours in duration, and usually encompass only a small portion of a navigable waterway. These rules are promulgated by District Commanders in response to a request from an event-sponsoring organization. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and maritime mobility of commercial and recreational vessel traffic.

        <RULE_TITLE>Drawbridge Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. The total actions expected from November 1, 2003, to October 31, 2004, are 150.]]></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. Instead, they may qualify for a conditional load line exemption, or for a limited service domestic voyage load line (depending on which Lake Michigan route). This rulemaking pertains to 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 to expand their operations onto these routes. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Outer Continental Shelf Activities (USCG-1998-3868)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 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>Deepwater Ports (USCG-1998-3884)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard purposes to revise the regulations governing deepwater ports, which are over 25 years old and which were written before any such port existed. The rulemaking will update the regulations with current technology and industry standards, and will align them with regulations for other fixed offshore facilities. In addition, the rulemaking recognizes the requirement of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 that rules be issued as soon as practicable for the application and issuance of deepwater port licenses to natural gas facilities. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Anchorage Ground; Safety Zone; Speed Limit; Tongass Narrows and Ketchikan, Alaska (CGD-1799-002)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would grant an exemption from the present 7-knot speed limit in Tongass Narrows, Alaska, for float plane take-off and landing and vessels 23 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>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). 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update of Rules on Aids to Navigation Affecting Buoys, Sound Signals, International Rules at Sea, Communications Procedures, and Large Navigational Buoys (USCG-2001-10714)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise 33 CFR subchapter C--Aids to Navigation, parts 60 through 76. In these parts, it would update technical information concerning buoys, sound signals, international rules at sea, communications procedures, and large navigational buoys. It would also revise these parts using plain language. The proposed changes would update the existing rules both to reflect current practices and to make them easier to understand. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Notifications of Arrival and Departure in Ports or Places in the United States (USCG-2001-11865)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard needs to permanently amend its regulations relating to the Notifications of Arrival (NOA) and Departure (NOD) requirements in 33 CFR part 160 to ensure port safety, security, and environmental protection as well as maintain the uninterrupted flow of commerce. Subsequent to the terrorist attacks of September 2001, we published an emergency temporary final rule (96-hour rule) amending the NOA and NOD requirements for commercial vessels bound for or departing from ports or places in the United States. The temporary final rule terminated on March 31, 2003. In this final rule, most of the changes introduced by the temporary final rule have been made permanent. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety, maritime security, protection of natural resources, and maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Allowing Alternatives To Incandescent Lights, and Establishing Standards for New Lights, in Private Aids To Navigation (USCG-2000-7466)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 (LEDs), 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, reduce maintenance, and therefore operating costs, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternate Hull Examination Program for Certain Passenger Vessels, and Underwater Surveys for Passenger, Nautical School, and Sailing School Vessels (USCG-2000-6858)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This 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 Marine Safety, Security and Environmental Protection Program's goal of mobility by facilitating commerce and eliminating interruptions and impediments to the economical movement of goods and people.]]></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: the administrative adjudication rules against merchant mariners' licenses, certificates of registry, and documents; and those 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. We are in the process of deciding how to respond to comments received.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 because 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: (1) Fire-suppression systems and other measures; (2) control measures for tank barges; and (3) 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).

        <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>Escort Vessels for Certain Tankers (CGD 91-202)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking developed standards that implement section 4116(c) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. It addressed the areas of Prince William Sound and Puget Sound 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, Security 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>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>We are in the process of deciding how to respond to the comments we have received.  The Coast Guard, in cooperation with the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens Advisory Council, PWS Tanker Association, and Alaska Pipeline, conducted a disabled-tanker towing study. The results of the study were considered in this rulemaking. Tug escort requirements in areas other than Prince William Sound and Puget Sound are addressed in the project listed under RIN 1625-AA10.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These routine and frequent regulations establish operating requirements for vessels within specified geographic areas to ensure safety on the navigable waters where some special or unusual circumstance exists. Regulated navigation areas are limited areas in which the Coast Guard specifies operational or vessel restrictions such as vessel entry, movement or departure, and vessel size, speed, horsepower, or draft limitations. Regulated navigation areas are promulgated by District Commanders, usually at the request of Coast Guard marine safety or local maritime safety officials. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's strategic goals of waterways management, marine safety, and maritime mobility. The total actions expected from November 1, 2003, to October 31, 2004, are 25.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Transportation-Related Facility Response Plans for Hazardous Substances (USCG-1999-5705)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 1625-AA13, 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 consequence of pollution incidents. This action is considered significant because of substantial public and industry interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title 46 U.S.C. 12301, as amended by the Abandoned Barge Act of 1992, requires that 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>Implementation of the 1995 Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) for Seafarers, 1978 (CGD 95-062)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The International Maritime Organization (IMO) comprehensively amended the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) for Seafarers, 1978, in 1995. The amendments came into force on February 1, 1997. This project implements them by revising current rules 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. It is significant because of the potential impact on industry and the potential effect on international interests.]]></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 also significant because it concerns a matter of substantial public interest or controversy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Diving Operations (USCG-1998-3786) </RULE_TITLE>
        <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, Security and Environmental Protection Program's goal to reduce deaths and injuries on U.S. commercial vessels and the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime 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, Security 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>Cargo Securing on Vessels Operating in U.S. Waters (USCG-2000-7080)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the cargo stowage and securing rules for U.S. vessels operating in U.S. waters. In addition, it would amend rules to require cargo-securing manuals for U.S. or foreign vessels of 500 gross tons or more on international voyages. Its goal is to reduce hazardous material cargo losses from vessels in U.S. waters. It supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Requirements for Propeller Injury Avoidance Measures (USCG 2001-10163)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish Federal requirements for nonplaning recreational houseboats equipped with propeller driven propulsion located aft of the transom. This rule would require owners of these nonplaning 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). Owners of rental houseboats would have to also install an ignition cut-off switch, if not already installed. These requirements would reduce the number of boaters who are seriously or fatally injured when struck by the propeller of a nonplaning 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>Drawbridge Operations Regulations; Revisions (USCG-2001-10881)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is proposing changes to its drawbridge regulations that provide guidance for general requirements relating to the use and operation of drawbridges. This project will create a new deviation for short-term closures, provide Coast Guard Eighth District Bridges Administration St. Louis, MO, with a general bridge closure requirement during the winter season when navigation is reduced, and eliminate any unnecessary distinction between commercial and recreational vessels in subpart B. It will also make changes throughout part 117 to remove redundancies, make amendments and technical corrections, and remove special bridge regulations that are no longer functional. Corrections and clarification of these requirements will help to streamline the drawbridge regulatory process and should shorten and simplify part 117 for the reader. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternate Tonnage Convention: Small Passenger Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend small passenger vessel regulations retaining the tonnage thresholds based on measurement under 46 U.S.C. 14502, but adding alternate tonnage thresholds based on measurement under 46 U.S.C. 14302. We expect this rulemaking to support the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime mobility of commercial vessel traffic and maritime safety. However, we are reviewing our regulatory resource allocation and management strategies to optimize our overall regulatory mission effectiveness. Accordingly, we have decided to continue this item on the agenda, while we consider and balance our statutory obligations and discretionary authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would require every person to wear a personal flotation device (PFD)--also called a lifejacket--while operating or riding on personal watercraft (PWC) or being towed behind a recreational vessel. On waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within any State or territory, the rule would not preempt any requirement established for such persons as specified by that State. The rule would set a Federal requirement on waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within any State or territory. The new requirement would reduce the number of persons who drown while participating in these activities. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is considering a project to update standards and procedures for identifying people aboard vessels, and at ports and facilities on waterfronts. These standards and procedures might include checks of backgrounds for people in security-sensitive positions, but would take account of (and as far as possible be compatible with) efforts to the same effect from international bodies, other Federal agencies, and States.  

The purpose of the project would be to deter terrorism. The project would support the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime security, maritime safety, protection of natural resources, and mobility.]]></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 Above Head of Passes (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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Wearing of Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) by Certain Children Aboard Recreational Vessels (USCG-2000-8589)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule requires every child under the age of 13 to wear a personal flotation device (PFD)--also called a lifejacket--while aboard a recreational vessel under way and while not below decks or in an enclosed cabin. It adopts, 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 also sets, on waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within any State lacking any such requirement, its own, comparable requirements. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>After publication of the final rule, the State Boating Law Administrator (BLA) of Ohio raised a concern about possible adverse impacts due to Federal enforcement of PFD-wearing requirements on vessels not subject to State requirements because of vessels&apos; lengths. The Coast Guard withdrew the final rule before its effective date and later published an interim final rule that allows public comment on a new alternative, which removes the potential differences between Federal and State requirements.

        <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 has introduced a third level of license where there have been only two. Each level requires greater experience and proficiency than the one below. This rulemaking also introduces a requirement for demonstration of proficiency as a prerequisite to being issued an original license. This will be in addition to the current requirements for sea service, physical examination, testing for drugs, and successful testing for competence. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 and sections 104 and 321 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. 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. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and security, and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Vessel Security rulemaking will affect owners and operators of U.S. vessels, including Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) and public vessels, and foreign vessels calling on U.S. ports. This rulemaking will not cover fixed and floating platforms or other specific excluded vessels. Consistent with the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 and parts A and B of the IMO International Code for Security of Ships and Port Facilities (ISPS Code), the affected vessels will be required to designate security officers, develop vessel security plans based security assessments and surveys, and implement security measures and procedures specific to each vessel's operations and to indicated Maritime Security (MARSEC) levels. Other proposed requirements include provisions for training, record keeping, security equipment maintenance, and communication procedures. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety, maritime security, protection of natural resources, and maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Zone for Outer Continental Shelf Facility in the Gulf of Mexico in Viasca Knoll 915 (CGD08-02-045)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to establish a safety zone around a high-production, manned oil and natural gas facility in the Outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico in Viasca Knoll 915. The facility needs to be protected from vessels operating outside the normal shipping channels and fairways. Placing a safety zone around the facility 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 facility 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 zone is necessary to protect life, property and the environment and supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of marine safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule will implement the AIS vessel requirements of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements adopted under International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS), as amended. The changes will require AIS on all SOLAS vessels and certain other commercial vessels. The rule will facilitate vessel communications, enhance good order and predictability, promote safe navigation, expand maritime domain awareness, and improve upon existing operating measures on our nation's waterways. This rulemaking replaces a rulemaking we have withdrawn, RIN 1625-AA61 (Formerly 2115-AG36). We have withdrawn that rulemaking and have replaced it with this one that will specifically respond to the MTSA, including its requirement to publish a temporary interim rule (TIR). The TIR will focus on SOLAS vessels in all waters and domestic vessels operating in Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) and Vessel Movement Reporting System (VMRS) areas only. The public will be provided with an opportunity to comment on the TIR. Separate from this rulemaking, a notice will also be published seeking comments on AIS carriage requirements for non-VTS or non-VMRS areas, such as for other navigable waters per MTSA or domestic vessels over 500 gross tons per SOLAS. This new rulemaking supports Coast Guard strategic goals of maritime safety, maritime security, protection of natural resources and maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of National Maritime Security Initiatives (USCG-2003-14792)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is implementing a series of temporary interim rules as required by Public Law 107-295, the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA). This series of temporary interim rules addresses security assessments, plans, and specific security measure requirements for Area Maritime Transportation Security, Vessel Security, Facility Security, and Offshore Facility Security. The carriage requirements for Automatic Identification System (AIS) are also included in this series of interim final rules. A comprehensive discussion of the security requirements included in the MTSA is presented in this rulemaking along with a summary of the cost and benefits of the entire suite of temporary interim rules. Discussions are also included on the alignment of domestic maritime security requirements with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPFS) Code and recent amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). The actual temporary interim rules in this suite limit their preamble discussions to the specific requirements they contain. Under the MTSA, a final rule for each of the six temporary interim rules will be issued before November 25, 2003. This rulemaking provides the elements and discussions common to the suite of related temporary interim rules. The public is encouraged to use this rulemaking as the foundation document for the entire suite.  This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is amending its procedures for the appeal of decisions or actions taken by the Director, Great Lakes Pilotage (G-MW-1).  It has determined that the Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety, Security and Environmental Protection (G-M) should exercise this authority in place of the Director of Waterways Management (G-MW).  This way, G-MW will be able to supervise more closely the work of G-MW-1 without also sitting in judgment on that work.  This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Zone for Outer Continental Shelf Facility in the Gulf of Mexico in Mississippi Canyon 243</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to establish a safety zone around a high-production, manned oil and natural gas facility in the Outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico being constructed in Mississippi Canyon 243.  The facility needs to be protected while it is being constructed and after construction is completed from vessels operating outside the normal shipping channels and fairways.  Placing a safety zone around the facility 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 facility 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 zone is necessary to protect life, property and the environment and supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of marine safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend DHS 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 his 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 United States from all "foreign territory and adjacent islands" to enter into a contract with the United States 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend Department 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 Deprtment 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>

        <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 United States for 90 days or less as nonimmigrant visitors for business or pleasure without 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.]]></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) program, 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 interim final rule clarifies the requirements for the use of the DCL (INS No. 1675). The second interim final 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 Department 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>Suspension of Privilege To Transport Aliens to the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 added a provision to the Immigration and Nationality Act that allows DHS 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, DHS 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 Department regulations by changing the regulatory definition of an arriving alien. Under section 235(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality 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 pursuant 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of 25-Mile Limit at Select Arizona Ports-of-Entry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of Visa and Passport Waiver for Certain Permanent Residents of Canada and Bermuda</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, certain permanent residents of Canada and Bermuda are permitted to enter the United States without a passport or visa. Many of these former British Commonwealth countries have high rates of fraud and abuse, and the documents presented by these permanent residents, for entry to the United States, do not meet current document security standards. This rule amends Department regulations by providing that a passport and visa will be required for permanent residents of Canada and Bermuda having a common nationality with Canadian Nationals or with British subjects in Bermuda. These permanent residents of Canada and Bermuda will be required to present a passport and visa to enter the United States.  This rule also amends several other sections of the regulations that provide exceptions for these individuals based on the prior passport and visa exemption. DHS is taking this action in conjunction with the Department of State. This rule is intended to increase security and safeguard the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) provides that any immigration officer may revoke the conditional permit to land any alien crewman and require the master or commanding officer of the vessel on which the crewman arrived to receive and detain him or her on board such vessel. This interim final rule amends Department regulations by requiring that, upon request of an immigration officer, the master or commanding officer of a vessel will, in certain cases, not only detain an alien crewman on board the vessel, but will, at his or her own expense, provide the necessary security to ensure that the detained alien crewman does not leave the vessel. This rule is necessary to enhance the security of the United States since a detained alien crewman may seek to leave the vessel on which he or she has been detained and that his or her illegal departure may pose a significant threat to the public safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule serves to further implement the automated exit entry control system mandated by section 217 (h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) by specifying those passenger data elements that must be electronically transmitted to the Department by carriers seeking to transport Visa Waiver Program (VWP) passengers into and out of the United States on or after October 1, 2002. This rule will also ensure that legitimate VWP travel is not disrupted after September 30, 2002, when the Secretary will no longer have the authority to admit applicants for admission under section 217 of the Act who arrive via sea or air unless the carrier transporting such aliens is electronically transmitting specified passenger data that the Secretary has determined is sufficient to track the arrival and departure of VWP aliens. This rule is necessary for the proper identification and monitoring of VWP aliens.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department intends to amend the regulations to extend the current enrollment period for the Automated Inspection Services (AIS) from one year to two years. The regulations currently limit the period of approval to the program to one year, requiring applicants to resubmit a new application and fee each year. This is a very burdensome process for both the traveling public and the Federal agencies administering the programs. DHS has determined that it can effectively maintain the security of the program and the border without requiring applicants to undergo a yearly application renewal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Department of Homeland Security's regulations to allow nonimmigrant visitors for business or pleasure who are nationals of the British Virgin Islands to apply for admission to the United States without a visa at the ports-of-entry of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. 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 Department'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 INA are met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Access to Customs Security Areas at Airports</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments regarding the standards for employee access to customs security areas at airports that accommodate international air commerce. Amendments involve the addition of a biennial access approval reapplication requirement; an expansion of the grounds for denial of an application for access; the addition of a requirement that each employee granted access must report certain changes in the employee's circumstances; the inclusion of several new employer responsibilities; an expansion of the grounds for revocation or suspension of access and for proposed revocation or suspension of access; and a limitation of the opportunity to have a hearing in a revocation or suspension action to only cases in which there is a genuine issue regarding a material fact. The changes are needed to enhance the security areas and are commensurate with the heightened enforcement posture of the Federal Government following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2000, Public Law 106-396, made the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP) a permanent program.  The 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 VWP 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 by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Immigration Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to remove from the regulations the list of those countries that are ineligible to participate in the TWOV program. In its place, DHS 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 nonexhaustive 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 Department of Homeland Security, 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>

        <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, DHS and Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) published an interim final 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, DHS published the rule "Asylum Procedures" (INS No. 1865-97; RIN 1115-AE93), which finalized the asylum portions of this interim rule. The Deparment still intends to publish a final rule 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Limiting the Number of Transit Without Visa (TWOV) Stops in the United States to One</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Inspector General (OIG) recently completed a follow-up review of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) efforts to improve security of the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) program. The OIG report found that several security concerns described in the original 1993 report continue to exist, specifically the 1) continued allowance for TWOV passengers to make two stops in the United States, with the second stop being a domestic arrival; and 2) lack of carrier standards and accountability for supervising TWOV passengers waiting for their connecting flights in public, domestic areas. This proposed rule informs the public that DHS intends to amend its regulations by limiting the number of transit stops in the United States for TWOV passengers to one stop. These TWOV program modifications will enhance U.S. national security while still providing the traveling public TWOV privileges.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Carrier Arrival and Departure Electronic Manifest Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[There are four principal laws that require the Attorney General to develop an automated and integrated entry/exit data system for aliens: 

1. The Immigration and Naturalization Service Data Management Improvement Act (DMIA), Public Law 106-21;
2. The Visa Waiver Permanent Program Act (VWPPA), Public Law 106-396;
3. The USA PATRIOT Act, Public Law 107-56; and
4. The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act (Border Security Act), Public Law 107-173.

Implementation of the relevant provisions in these four laws together will result in the Entry/Exit System.  One of the basic legislative mandates is that the system integrate the available alien arrival and departure data that exist in any DHS or Department of State (DOS) data base or system.  This necessarily must include the systems that incorporate carrier manifest data on passengers and crew members who are entering or leaving the U.S. via air or sea. Section 231 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and 8 CFR part 231 state the requirements for carrier manifests.

In section 402 of the Border Security Act, Congress amended the manifest requirements in INA, section 231. The Border Security Act requires the submission of arrival and departure manifests electronically in advance of a commercial aircraft or vessel's arrival in or departure from the United States not later than January 1, 2003. Promulgation of regulations to implement this law will provide the Department with advance notification of information necessary for the identification of passengers and crewmembers on commercial carriers. The contents of the electronic arrival and departure manifest include: (1) complete name; (2) date of birth; (3) citizenship; (4) sex; (5) passport number and country of issuance; (6) country of residence; (7) United States visa number, date, and place of issuance, where applicable; (8) alien registration; (9) United States address while in the United States; and (10) such other information the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Treasury determines as being necessary for the identification of the persons transported and for the enforcement of the immigration laws and to protect safety and national security.

In October 2000, Congress also amended section 217 of the INA to make the Visa Waiver Pilot a permanent program. The VWPPA also added a specific requirement for a "fully automated entry and exit control system" covering all aliens who enter the United States under the VWP at airports and seaports. The requirements for this system are both narrower and broader, in different respects, than the DMIA automated system requirements. The VWP entry/exit system will be incorporated into the broader Entry/Exit System mandated by DMIA. In addition, the VWPPA states that no alien arriving by air or sea may be granted a visa waiver under INA, section 217, on or after October 1, 2002, unless the carrier is submitting passenger information electronically to the VWP entry/exit system, as required by the Secretary. The Deprtment is separately promulgating regulations to amend 8 CFR part 217 to implement the electronic manifest requirements for VWP purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Rulemaking Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TSA is developing general rulemaking procedures to explain to the public the process required to initiate, follow-up, and complete the rulemaking process, and what the agency has to comply with during the process. This is needed because currently TSA does not have a regulation that explains the rulemaking process to the public. Rulemaking procedures are an important way for the public to interact with TSA.  Therefore, it is important that these procedures be clearly explained and easy to understand and follow. This proposed rule will layout the process to the public to allow them to understand how TSA processes rulemaking proceedings, and what they can do to have input in that process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>CAPPS II-Access to Passenger Reservation Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TSA is proposing to require certain aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and operators of computer reservation systems to transmit passenger reservation information to TSA for use in aviation security screening. The proposal would require that for any flight transporting passengers to, from, or within the United States, each aircraft operator, foreign air carrier, or reservation system operator that accepts a reservation for a passenger on that flight must transmit the passenger's reservation information to TSA at least 72 hours before the scheduled departure of the flight or at the time the passenger purchases a ticket for the flight, whichever is later. The reservation information transmitted to TSA must include a passenger's full name, home address, home telephone number, and date of birth. The proposal also would require that prior to collecting this information from an individual, an aircraft operator, foreign air carrier, or reservation system operator must take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is provided notice of the purpose for which the information is collected, the authority under which it is collected, and the consequences of a passenger's failure to provide the information. TSA will use passengers' information to support a more effective version of the current automated system for aviation passenger screening, known as Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System II, or CAPPS II.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Sensitive Security Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TSA is revising its regulation governing the protection of sensitive security information (SSI) in order to implement recent legislative changes that expand TSA's authority to protect SSI related to modes of transportation other than aviation. TSA is issuing revisions to its existing regulation in the form of an interim final rule in order to address the immediate needs of individuals and entities operating in maritime and other modes of transportation as they develop security plans, assessments, procedures, and other measures called for by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. To that end, TSA is expanding the definition of SSI to include additional types of information related to security in all modes of transportation and to expand the list of persons required to protect SSI. TSA also is requiring that records containing SSI be marked with a protective marking and distribution limitation statement that indicate the record contains SSI, the restrictions on the release of SSI, and the consequences of unauthorized disclosure of the SSI. TSA is requiring disposal of records containing SSI when they are no longer needed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Criminal History Records Checks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule, published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), requires each airport operator and aircraft operator that has adopted a security program under 14 CFR parts 107 or 108 to conduct fingerprint-based criminal history record checks for individuals if they have not already undergone criminal history record checks. The rule will ensure that individuals in these positions do not have disqualifying criminal offenses. Rules governing civil aviation security were transferred from the FAA to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Parts 107 and 108 of title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) on Airport Security and Aircraft Operator Security, respectively, are now codified in 49 CFR parts 1540, 1542, and 1544. TSA will complete any further action required in this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Threat Assessment for Individuals Applying for a Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial Drivers License</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is amending the Transportation Security Regulations to establish security threat assessment standards for determining whether an individual poses a security threat warranting denial of a hazardous materials endorsement for a commercial drivers license (CDL). TSA is also establishing procedures for seeking a waiver from the standards and appealing a security assessment determination.

TSA is issuing this interim final rule in coordination with a separate interim final rule being issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The FMCSA rule amends the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations governing commercial drivers licenses to prohibit States from issuing, renewing, transferring, or upgrading a commercial drivers license with a hazardous material endorsement unless the Department of Justice has first conducted a background records check of the applicant, and the TSA has determined that the applicant does not pose a security threat warranting denial of the hazardous materials endorsement. These interim final rules implement the background records check requirements of section 1012 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), and also establish requirements regarding the transportation of explosives in commerce.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Suspension of the September 11th Security Fee and the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is issuing this rule to temporarily suspend the September 11, 2001, Passenger Civil Aviation Security Service Fees and the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fees (ASIF) during the period beginning June 1, 2003, and ending September 30, 2003, as provided in Public Law 108-11, enacted on April 16, 2003, titled, "Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003" (Appropriations Act).

TSA interprets the Appropriations Act to prohibit TSA from requiring passengers to pay the September 11th Security Fee if they purchase air transportation during the suspension period, regardless of whether the air transportation actually takes place during the suspension period.  Accordingly, TSA will not impose the September 11th Security Fee on air transportation purchased from 12:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on June 1, 2003, through 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on September 30, 2003.

The Appropriations Act also prohibits TSA from imposing the ASIF during the suspension period.  Therefore, air carriers and foreign air carriers engaged in air transportation will not incur any obligations to make ASIF payments to TSA for the months of June, July, August, and September of 2003, which otherwise would have been required to be paid to TSA by the last day of July, August, September, and October of 2003, respectively.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation Security Administration Transition to Department of Homeland Security; Technical Amendments Reflecting Organizational Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Homeland Security Act of 2002 transferred the Transportation Security Administration from the Department of Transportation to the newly created Department of Homeland Security. This rule makes conforming technical changes to various parts of the Transportation Security Regulations, chapter XII of title 49, Transportation, of the Code of Federal Regulations, revising, where appropriate, all references to the titles, abbreviations, and acronyms of the "Department of Transportation" and the "Under Secretary of Transportation for Security." This regulation also makes conforming changes to the general definitions sections and revises TSA's address because of TSA Headquarters' physical move to Arlington, Virginia. Because this rule revises existing regulations to reflect organizational changes, it has no substantive effect on the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>Strengthening Control Over Immigration Surety Bonds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[During the past several years the Department has experienced problems collecting funds relating to breached surety bonds. Several surety companies and/or their bonding agents have circumvented administrative remedies to address immigration surety bond claims sent out by the Department and furthermore have evaded the judicial review process.

This rule proposes to strengthen the Department's control over the collection of immigration surety bonds by tightening current DHS procedures relating to the collection of surety bonds and by providing the Department with more powerful enforcement measures. Specifically, this rule will require surety companies and bonding agents to exhaust administrative remedies by using Department appeal procedures as a prerequisite to challenging the Department's actions under the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 701 et seq.) before seeking judicial review of DHS actions. In addition, this rule limits the exposure of the Department in the case of bonding agents who have acted improperly or whose authorities have been denied by their corporate principals; encourages surety companies and bonding agents to respond early if there are any issues or disputes with the Department's claim and formalizes DHS' reporting requirements to the Department of the Treasury (Treasury); provides for notification to the Treasury of high dollar volume of unpaid debt over 90 days; and lastly, adds an enforcement tool to suspend acceptance of surety bonds from bonding agents and/or surety companies that have large unpaid balances or who do not otherwise respond to DHS invoices. This rule is necessary to ensure that the Deprtment receives funds owed by surety companies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interest Payments on Cancelled Cash Bonds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[When DHS receives a cash bond, it is deposited into an account where interest is accumulated from the date the bond is posted, to the date that the bond is paid out. If a cancelled cash bond is unclaimed after a year, the principal and any accumulated interest are transferred to  the U.S. Department of the Treasury, account entitled "Payments of Unclaimed Moneys of Individuals Whose Whereabouts are Unknown." This regulation at 8 CFR 293.1 concerns the computation of interest on cash bonds. It does not mention the Treasury requirement concerning the disposition of funds from unclaimed cash bonds. Since some cash bonds obligors have questioned the curtailment of interest a year after the bond is cancelled, we believe that this regulation should include language that clarifies the Department's requirement to comply with Treasury's regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Power of Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to Terminate Deportation Proceedings and Initiate Removal Proceedings</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 and certain nonpermanent 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 rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. This rule adds new provisions governing cases for DHS to determine whether there is a significant likelihood that an alien will be removed from 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 postremoval 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 DHS in obtaining documents necessary to his or her removal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend DHS regulations by requiring every alien who is applying for immigration benefits to acknowledge having received notice that he or she is required to provide a valid current address to the Department, including any change of address within 10 days of the change; that the Department will use the most recent address provided by the alien for all purposes, including the service of a Notice to Appear if the Department initiates removal proceedings; and, if the alien has changed address and failed to provide the new address to DHS, that the alien will be held responsible for any communications sent to the most recent address provided by the alien. This rule will satisfy the requirements or advance notice to the alien of the obligation to provide a current address to the Department, and of the consequences that may result for failure to do so, including the entry of an in absentia removal order against the alien if the alien fails to appear at a removal hearing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends DHS regulations to establish a 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 Secretary of Homeland Security 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>Revision of the Regulations Concerning F, J, and M Nonimmigrant Classifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule lays the foundation for the implementation of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), an Internet-based system that provides tracking and monitoring functionality, with access to accurate and current information on nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors. SEVIS is being integrated into the new entry-exit system, which is the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indication Technology System (U.S. VISIT). The U.S. VISIT is designed to make entering the United States easier for legitimate tourist, students, and business travelers while making it more difficult to enter the United States illegally through the implementation of biometrically authorized documents.

There are three principal laws that require the Secretary to develop an automated system to track foreign students and exchange visitors:

1.  Section 641 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA);
2.  Section 416 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act); and 
3.  Section 501 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (Border Security Act).

IIRIRA requires the Department to collect current information, on an ongoing basis, from schools and exchange programs relating to nonimmigrant foreign students and exchange visitors during their course of stay in the United States. In addition, the USA PATRIOT Act amended section 641 of IIRIRA to require full implementation and expansion of SEVIS prior to January 1, 2003. Furthermore, the Border Security Act clarifies the collection of information required by SEVIS and adds the specific requirement that educational institutions report any failure of an alien to enroll not later than 30 days after the registration deadline of the institution. Finally, Presidential Directive No. 2 and the findings released by the Office of the Inspector General have also had a significant impact on the direction of the student program at the Department.

While this rule implements SEVIS and its requirements, SEVIS is only one component of the Department's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). Further rulemakings are a necessary part of the overall reengineering process and success of SEVP, which encompasses the review and registration of all schools and exchange programs in SEVIS prior to January 30, 2003, subsequent recertifications every two years, and the student fee regulation mandated by Congress in IIRIRA to pay for the operation and maintenance of SEVIS.  

As part of this ongoing program, the Department published an interim final rule at 67 FR 44344 (July 1, 2002) allowing schools that met certain criteria to preliminarily enroll in SEVIS beginning on July 1, 2002. In early fall, the Department will publish another rule that will require all schools to apply for certification in SEVIS in order to be able to begin accepting or continue accepting foreign students after the SEVIS mandatory compliance date. Additionally, DHS will publish a rule describing the recertification, withdrawal, and denial process for SEVIS. Finally, DHS will reintroduce a rule for the collection of the fee for all F, J, and M nonimmigrants.]]></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 Department 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requiring Recertification of All Service-Approved Schools for Enrollment in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2001, the President issued Homeland Security Directive No. 2 requiring the Department to conduct periodic reviews of all institutions certified to receive nonimmigrant students. The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002, Public Law 107-173 enacted May 14, 2002, also requires a periodic review of school approvals.  

This rule governs the review and certification process that DHS uses to approve schools to enroll foreign students. It also continues the implementation of the process by which schools may be approved to obtain access to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). While the Department has in place an existing process for certifying and decertifying schools, DHS is requiring that all previously approved schools must apply for certification in accordance with these new mandates cited above, prior to being allowed to enroll in SEVIS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reduced Course Load for Certain F and M Nonimmigrant Students at Border Communities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department regulations governing F and M nonimmigrants. This rule will clarify that nonimmigrant aliens who reside outside the United States and regularly commute across a land border to study may do so on a part-time basis within the F or M nonimmigrant category. It is common for aliens residing outside the United States, such as in Canada or Mexico, to enroll part-time in border educational institutions to enter the United States daily to pursue part-time studies. This rule will prevent the significant disruption of part-time study that has become an accepted fact of life along the border and a settled expectation. Additionally, these changes are being made to facilitate and legitimize certain part-time study along border communities while ensuring that all applicable requirements and safeguards are met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends DHS 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 six credit hours if the student is an undergraduate, or three credit hours if the student is in graduate school.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Employer Sanctions Modifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DHS 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. 

The Department published an interim rule in 1996, INS No. 1738, allowing DHS to issue and serve a Warning Notice upon an alleged violator after DHS has determined that a person or entity has violated section 274a of the Act. This rule also allows interested parties to electronically generate blank copies of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form (Form I-9).

On September 30, 1996, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act was enacted (IIRIRA). 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 INA. DHS 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[This rule increases 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 DHS 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 Department operations since many DHS employees are posted great distances away from the officials who are currently authorized to issue notices to appear and arrest warrants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice advises the public that DHS 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 DHS 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 Department 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 DHS detention space and immigration judge and trial attorney resources. The public comments were received and reviewed. DHS elected to study the process to determine if the efficiencies to be gained were still valid, and incorporated its results into the final notice, which is currently being reviewed by the Department.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revised regulation is necessary to include the provisions of the Electronic Freedom of Information Act (EFOIA) Amendments of 1996. The EFOIA requires 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  procedures for the public to request and obtain access to DHS 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Treble Damages for Failure To Engage in Loss Mitigation (FR-4553)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement sections 601(f), (g), and (h) of the fiscal year 1999 HUD Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 105-276, approved October 21, 1998). These sections amend 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, sections 601(g) and (h) amend 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule implements a law that allows HUD to assess civil money penalties for specific types of mortgage lender violations, including failure to engage in loss mitigation.  The law also directs HUD to implement regulations as it determines necessary to implement the civil money penalty provisions.  This rule is necessary to encourage certain lenders that rarely engage in loss mitigation activities to do so.  Failure to engage in loss mitigation leads to additional claims on FHA's insurance funds.  Greater emphasis by certain lenders on loss mitigation will act to reduce those claims and enhance the health of the funds.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 230 of the National Housing Act (NHA), (12 U.S.C. 1715u), requires mortgage lenders utilizing FHA-insured financing to engage in loss mitigation actions upon the default of any insured mortgage.  Section 536(b)(1)(I) of the NHA (12 U.S.C. 1735f-14(b)(1)(I)) includes failure to engage in loss mitigation among the activities for which HUD may assess civil penalties.  Section 536(a) of the NHA (12 U.S.C. 1735f-14(a)) provides that in the case of failure to engage in loss mitigation, the penalty may be tripled.  Section 536(h) of the NHA (12 U.S.C. 1735f-14(h)) provides that HUD shall issue regulations to implement these provisions as it determines is appropriate.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <RULE_TITLE>The Secretary of HUD&apos;s Regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (FR-4790)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this rule, the Department will propose housing goals for the purchase of mortgages by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (collectively, the Government Sponsored Enterprises, or GSEs) for calendar year 2004 forward and make any necessary revisions to HUD's GSE rules to ensure that the GSEs meet the laws' requirements and carry out their public missions.  In accordance with the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (FHEFSSA), this rule would establish new goals for the GSEs' purchase of mortgages financing low- and moderate-income housing, special affordable housing, and housing in central cities, rural areas, and other underserved areas.  This rule would clarify, as necessary, HUD's guidelines for counting different types of mortgage purchases toward those goals.  The current housing goals apply through 2003.  The Secretary of HUD has general regulatory power over each GSE and is required to make such rules and regulations as shall be necessary to ensure that the purposes of FHEFSSA and the GSEs' charters are accomplished. HUD's current GSE regulations implement FHEFSSA's provisions and include fair housing, new program approval, reporting and access to information requirements.  This rule will propose any necessary revisions to HUD's rules to implement FHEFSSA and carry out the Secretary's regulatory responsibilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Department is required to establish housing goals for the GSEs pursuant to the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (12 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.).  HUD also has general regulatory power over each GSE (12 U.S.C. 4541) and is required to make such rules and regulations as are necessary to ensure that the purposes of FHEFSSA and the GSEs' charters are accomplished.  (See 12 USC 4501-4641.)]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Department considered the alternative of leaving the housing goals unchanged.  However, HUD takes very seriously its obligations under the law to establish the housing goals using the most current data and information.  

The alternative of leaving other provisions of the GSE rules unchanged also has been considered, but it is not evident that the existing rules will ensure that the purposes of the law are accomplished.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rule will have the benefit of increasing homeownership opportunities and affordable housing units for low- and moderate-income families and underserved communities and it will ensure that the GSEs otherwise carry out their responsibilities under FHEFSSA.  However, there is no indication that these objectives would be costly for the GSEs.  HUD's analyses have consistently indicated that meeting housing goals will have little impact on the GSEs' financial returns or on the safety and soundness of GSE operations.  Additionally, increased GSE activity in the affordable lending arena has not adversely affected traditional portfolio lenders]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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>

        <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, and 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. The promulgation of this rule incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Participation in HUD Programs by Faith-Based Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment for All HUD Program Participants (FR-4782)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will revise those HUD regulations that appear to deter or preclude the participation of faith-based organizations in HUD programs.  Faith-based organizations are welcome participants in HUD programs.  They are eligible to participate in HUD programs and are subject to the same HUD and other Federal requirements to which all other program participants are subject.  The rule therefore will clarify that the prohibitions against discriminating on the basis of religion and engaging in efforts to advance religion in the provision of HUD-funded activities are applicable to all HUD program participants and not just one category of participants.  The rule will also clarify that faith-based organizations participating in HUD programs may consider religion as a factor in hiring, consistent with title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  The rule will amend the regulations for the following HUD programs: (1) HOME Investment Partnerships; (2) Community Development Block Grants (CDBG); (3) Hope for Homeownership of Single Family Homes (HOPE 3); (4) Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA); (5) Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG); (6) Shelter Plus Care; (7) Supportive Housing; and (8) Youthbuild.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Executive order provides that, to the extent permitted by law, agencies may not permit inclusion of contract conditions requiring or prohibiting entering into or adhering to agreements with a labor organization, or otherwise discriminating against parties entering into or adhering to such agreements, as a condition for award of any federally funded contract or subcontract for construction.  The purpose of this rule is to ensure compliance by all HUD grantees, recipients of financial assistance, parties to cooperative agreements, contractors, and subcontractors with the requirements of open competition and government neutrality in awarding federally funded contracts or subcontracts for construction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disposition of HUD-Owned Single Family Assets in Asset Control Areas (FR-4471)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement a new program to make available HUD-held single family assets for sale to governmental organizations and nonprofits for use in homeownership programs to revitalize certain areas.  Under the new program, HUD would identify revitalization areas by applying specified economic and housing criteria.  Eligible purchasers, that is, units of general local government and nonprofit organizations, may establish an Asset Control Area within a revitalization area and commit by contract to purchase all HUD-owned single family homes or mortgages that become available in that area for a time frame specified by the contract.  By statute, these purchasers are to be given preference.  The entities would then make available the assets pursuant to a HUD-approved plan to encourage homeownership and revitalize the area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule codifies the policies and procedures concerning the Teacher Next Door (TND) Sales Program.  The TND Sales Program has been operating since December 7, 1999, as a temporary program.  This rule establishes the TND Sales Program as a permanent part of HUD's single family property disposition program.  Through the TND Sales Program, HUD makes HUD-acquired single family properties available to eligible teachers for purchase at a discount from the list price. The TND Sales Program is closely modelled after HUD's Officer Next Door (OND) Sales Program, which provides the same benefits to eligible law enforcement officers. In addition to codifying the TND Sales Program, the rule would also clarify and revise certain requirements applicable to both the OND and TND Sales Programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of Loan Officer Registry and Establishment of Servicing Approval Agreements (FR-4764)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would authorize the Department to establish a loan officer registry and a servicing approval agreement for FHA-approved lenders.  The loan officer registry would limit registration of a loan officer to one FHA-approved lender at a time and give the Department the ability to monitor a loan officer.  The rule would provide for sanctions against loan officers for poor performance.  Also, the rule would clarify that a loan officers must be an employee of a lender. This rule also would create a servicing approval agreement that would require FHA approval.  The Department believes that the servicing agreement would enhance its authority to supervise the servicing of FHA-insured mortgages and to take action against mortgagees that fail to perform required servicing functions.]]></ABSTRACT>

The program will also reduce government costs derived from storing case binders.]]></ABSTRACT>

Appropriate actions if a loan or a percentage of loans is not in compliance with FHA requirements would also be required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the existing regulations governing the calculation of the "net bid amount" on sales of HUD-owned single family properties to provide that an "acceptable offer" will be received from owner-occupant purchasers in a higher number of sales.  This change will increase the number of sales going directly to owner-occupant purchasers as opposed to non-profit purchasers that, in turn, must resell to an owner-occupant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disciplinary Actions Against HUD-Qualified Real Estate Brokers (FR-4871)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this rule is to address real estate broker participation in predatory lending practices targeted at Federal Housing Administration (FHA) borrowers.  This rule includes measures to prevent property "flipping," inflated appraisals falsified gift letters, and fraudulent underwriting.  This rule is similar to other removal rules for appraisers, 203K consultants, and nonprofits. (Each has a separate approval/removal rule.)  It allows HUD to have a shortened procedure for real estate brokers than 24 CFR part 24 Suspension and Debarment procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 rule states that mortgagees will be responsible for using HUD's Electronic Neighborhood Watch Early Warning System to monitor their performance. Among other changes, the rule  also prohibits 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 establishes that the default and claim thresholds underlying the Credit Watch Termination Initiative apply to both underwriting and originating mortgagees.]]></ABSTRACT>

Mortgages with excessive default and claim rates are placed on Credit Watch Status and, in cases of more severe performance deficiencies, HUD may terminate the mortgagee's loan origination approval authority.

        <RULE_TITLE>Insurance for Mortgages To Refinance Existing HECMs (FR-4667)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 5, 2001, HUD published a proposed rule to implement certain statutory changes to the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Program made by section 201 of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000. The HECM Program enables older homeowners to withdraw some of the equity in their home in the form of payments for life, a fixed term, or at intervals through a line of credit. The statutory changes include authorization to offer mortgage insurance for refinancing of existing HECMs, and providing consumers with safeguards for such refinancing. This rule follows publication of the June 5, 2001, proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule. In addition, this rule requests comments on a provision that implements another statutory change to the HECM program, specifically the initial mortgage insurance premium (MIP) that may be charged on an HECM refinancing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lender Accountability for Appraisals (FR-4722)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule clarifies and strengthens HUD's regulations concerning the responsibilities of lenders approved by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) in the selection of appraisers to perform appraisals on properties that will be the security for FHA-insured mortgages.  First, the rule provides that lenders are responsible for the quality of appraisals on properties securing FHA-insured mortgages.  Further, the rule specifically provides that lenders that knowingly submit appraisals to HUD that do not meet FHA requirements are subject to the imposition of sanctions by the HUD Mortgagee Review Board.  The rule applies to both sponsor lenders, who underwrite loans, and loan correspondent lenders, who originate loans on behalf of their sponsors.  HUD believes these changes will help protect the FHA Insurance Fund, ensure better compliance with appraisal standards, and help to ensure that homebuyers receive an accurate statement of appraised value.  This final rule follows publication of a January 13, 2003, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will eliminate the supplemental cost certification requirement for FHA loans insured pursuant to section 223f where repairs are required after endorsement of the loan. This change will eliminate an unnecessary burden to the public.  At closing/endorsement, an escrow is established sufficient to complete all repairs, and inspection of repairs is required.  Once repairs are completed, the balance of escrow is returned to the owner by the mortgagee.  If repairs are not completed, the mortgagee uses the balance of escrow.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibition of Property Flipping in HUD&apos;s Single Family Mortgage Insurance Programs (FR-4615)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 final rule will establish certain new requirements regarding the eligibility of properties for FHA mortgage insurance.  The regulatory amendments made by this rule will comply with congressional mandates to maintain the FHA Insurance Fund in a sound actuarial manner.  The new requirements will make flipped properties ineligible for FHA financing, thus precluding FHA home purchasers from becoming victims of property flipping. The rule follows publication of a September 5, 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 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 whose license or certification in any State 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.  The final rule follows publication of a November 30, 2001, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Development Block Grant Program Revision of CDBG Eligibility and National Objective Regulations (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.  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>

This rule does not add any new eligibility categories to section 105 of the Housing and Development Act of 1974, but rather would expand the scope of the current listing of eligible activities to include environmental remediation and development of contaminated sites.  HUD believes that these changes will facilitate the use of CDBG funds for economic development objectives, reduce the administrative burden on grantees and focus efforts on assisting the residents of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Section 588 prohibits State and local governments from using CDBG funds for "job pirating" activities that are likely to result in significant job loss. Job pirating, in this context, refers to the use of CDBG funds to lure or attract a business and its jobs from one community to another community.  The rule follows publication of an October 24, 2000, proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of the Community Development Block Grant Definition for Metropolitan City and Other Conforming Amendments (FR-4872)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program regulations by replacing the obsolete term "central city" with a new term "principal city" in the definition of "metropolitan city" and other CDBG regulations referencing "central city."  The described revisions are necessary because of the recent changes to the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Standards for defining Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and the announcement in 2003 of new definitions for those areas using Census 2000 data.  The rule updates the affected CDBG program regulations so that the terminology used by HUD is consistent with OMB standards and the purposes of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project-Based Voucher Program (FR-4636)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Project-Based Voucher Program replaces the Project-Based Certificate Program that was in existence for many years.  Under the Project-Based Voucher Program, HUD pays rental assistance for eligible families to live in specific housing developments or units.  A public housing agency (PHA) that administers a tenant-based housing choice voucher program may "project-base" up to 20 percent of voucher units funded by HUD.  The Project-Based Program was authorized by law in 1998, as part of the statutory merger of the certificate and voucher tenant-based programs.  In 2000, the Congress substantially revised the project-based voucher law.  The law made a number of changes including permitting a PHA to pay project-based assistance for a term of up to 10 years, permitting a PHA to provide project-based assistance for existing housing that does not need rehabilitation, as well as for newly constructed or rehabilitated housing, and allowing a family to move from a project-based voucher unit after one year and transfer to the PHA's tenant-based voucher program.]]></ABSTRACT>

New title VIII expands the scope of NAHASDA to include housing assistance to Native Hawaiians, and establishes statutory requirements specific to Native Hawaiian assistance. Part 1006 of this rule will implement the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant Program.  Part 1007 will implement the Native Hawaiian Housing Loan Guarantee Program. HUD will publish both a final rule of the interim rule, and a separate proposed rule with additional program administration requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conversion of Developments From Public Housing Stock; Methodology for Comparing Costs of Public Housing and Tenant-Based Assistance (FR-4718)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish the cost methodology that Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) must use under HUD's programs for the required and voluntary conversion of public housing developments to tenant-based assistance.  Both programs require that PHAs, before undertaking any conversion activity, compare the cost of providing tenant-based assistance with the cost of continuing to operate the development as public housing.  The cost methodology would be codified as an appendix to HUD's regulations for the required and voluntary conversion programs at 24 CFR part 972.  The cost methodology was originally contained in HUD's July 23, 1999, proposed rule on voluntary conversions (although the methodology also applies to required conversions).  HUD has decided to significantly revise the proposed cost methodology, based both on the public comments received on the proposed rule and upon further consideration of the cost factors that should be assessed by PHAs in making conversion determinations.  Accordingly, HUD has decided to issue this new rule, which will provide the public with an additional opportunity to comment on the methodology that will be used for the required cost comparisons.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program; Pilot Program for Homeownership Assistance for Disabled Families (FR-4661)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule follows publication of a June 22, 2001, interim rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the interim rule. The June 22, 2001, interim rule established regulations to implement the three-year pilot program authorized by section 302 of the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000. A public housing agency (PHA) may elect to provide homeownership assistance to a disabled family under the pilot program, rather than under the Housing Choice Voucher Program homeownership option. Under the pilot program, a PHA provides homeownership assistance to a disabled family residing in a home purchased and owned by one or more members of the family.  In addition to the amendments implementing section 302, the interim rule also made several clarifying and technical amendments to the regulations for the Housing Choice Voucher program homeownership option.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will revise the formula system for allocating funds to public housing agencies for their operation and management of public housing.  The current formula system was developed pursuant to section 519 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (title V of Public Law 105-276, approved October 21, 1998).  That statute amended section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 to require development of a new formula that would change the method of determining the payment of operating subsidies to public housing agencies.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends HUD's regulations for the Housing Choice Voucher Program to expand the regulatory payment standard protection against subsidy reduction.

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. This rule follows publication of a July 10, 2000, interim rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the interim rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deregulation for Small Public Housing Agencies (FR-4753)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule simplifies and streamlines HUD's regulatory requirements for small public housing agencies (PHAs) that administer the public housing and voucher assistance programs under the United States Act of 1937 (1937 Act).  Specifically, the rule will further streamline the PHA Annual Plan requirements for certain small PHAs.  The rule also proposes to deregulate the assessment and scoring of small PHAs under the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) and the Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP), consistent with its basic regulatory responsibilities.  In addition to the changes that solely concern small PHAs, this rule will also streamline HUD's review of the Annual Plans submitted by all PHAs (large and small).  This final rule follows publication of an August 14, 2002, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Housing Choice Voucher Program Homeownership Option: Eligibility of PHA-Owned or Controlled Units (FR-4759)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule provides that units owned or substantially controlled by a public housing agency (PHA) are eligible for purchase under the Housing Choice Voucher Program homeownership option.  The inclusion  of PHA-owned or controlled properties among properties eligible for purchase under the homeownership option will expand the availability of housing and affordable homeownership opportunities for voucher families participating in the homeownership option.  The rule also establishes procedures to remove potential conflicts of interest where the PHA is the seller.   These provisions are modeled on the requirements for PHA-owned units in the voucher rental program.  The final rule follows publication of an October 28, 2002, interim rule.  After consideration of the issues raised by the single commenter on the interim rule, HUD has decided to adopt the interim rule without change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Up-Front Income Verification for the Public Housing, Housing Choice Voucher, Project-Based Certificate, and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Programs (FR-4804)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule requires that Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) use "up-front" income verification techniques during mandatory reexaminations of family income and composition under HUD's Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs. Up-front income verification is the verification of income through an independent source making use of income information databases, such as those maintained by State Wage Information Collection Agencies, the Social Security Administration, and private vendors, before or during a family reexamination. This rule allows PHAs to obtain up-front income verification either through electronic means, or through manual means such as fax or e-mail exchanges with the data source. Use of up-front income verification methods would replace, to the maximum extent possible, the more time-consuming and less accurate third-party verification process of contacting individual employers supplied by the family to verify family reported income.]]></ABSTRACT>

It changes BLM's current policy of terminating only the period of liability of bonds. Under the new rule, we will cancel bonds after determining that all lease obligations are met. Finally, the rule clarifies the responsibilities of record title holders and operating rights owners. The final rule is based upon a portion of a proposed rule published with the RIN 1004-AC94.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule will implement section 1339 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. 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[The rule will amend the regulations governing rights-of-way issued under both the Federal Land Policy and Management Act and the Mineral Leasing Act by revising cost recovery policies and procedures and adjusting cost recovery fees to reflect cost increases since the current regulations became effective in 1987. The rule will also eliminate the automatic exemptions from cost recovery for Federal agencies except when they are exempted by law. It will also establish policies on paying rent in advance and a financial penalty for paying rent late.]]></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; and (4) eliminate redundancies, clarify procedures and regulatory requirements and streamline procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mining Claims Under the General Mining Laws; Surface Management</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend existing regulations by removing certain provisions of the regulations and restoring others to those in effect on January 19, 2001, intending to prevent unnecessary or undue degradation of BLM-administered lands by mining operations authorized under the mining laws. The approach BLM will take will balance the Nation's need to maintain reliable sources of strategic and industrial minerals, while ensuring protection of the environment and natural resources on public lands. The rule will make the hardrock mining regulations consistent with the recommendations of the National Research Council and protect the Federal Government from financial risk if operators are unable to perform reclamation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reduction to Royalty Relief in Special Circumstances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The recently published final rule 1010-AC71 created a process for certain leases (those that are inadequately helped by our formal relief systems) to seek special royalty relief. However overly restrictive eligibility criteria may exclude some leases that fulfill statutory purposes while redundant criteria may include other leases that do not fit statutory purposes. This rule will refine the eligibility criteria to include marginal discoveries in the shallow water part of the Gulf of Mexico that may offer meaningful conservation or infrastructure preservation benefits. The revision will also disallow a royalty relief request by a lease or project that does not promote wider program goals or is only temporarily unable to benefit from a formal royalty relief program.]]></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 productions systems, and this will save the public the costs of developing government standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rights-of-Use and Easements and Pipeline Rights-of-Way</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 easements. 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>Relief or Reduction in Royalty Rates -- Deep Gas Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Declines in outer continental shelf production from existing fields need to be offset by new sources to keep up with growing demand. Very little of the deep gas potential in shallow water areas of the Gulf of Mexico has yet been explored. Extensive infrastructure already exists in shallow water, unlike in deep water, so new production could reach market quickly. Because the most prospective tracts in shallow water are already under lease, most of the deep gas potential in shallow water may already have been acquired. This rule proposes temporary incentives in the form of royalty suspension volumes for deep wells (at least 15,000 feet below significant energy action level) on existing leases that explore for or produce gas.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The OCS Lands Act is the basis for our regulations on suspending or lowering royalties on "producing" OCS leases. The Deep Water Royalty Relief Act, which amended the OCS Lands Act, is the basis for regulations to reduce or eliminate royalty on "nonproducing" leases in the Gulf of Mexico west of 87 degrees, 30 minutes West longitude. It gives the Secretary of the Interior the authority to (1) promote development or increased production on producing and nonproducing leases, or (2) encourage production of marginal resources on producing and nonproducing leases.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[There are two alternatives -- providing incentives only through the lease sale process, or through an application process. Reserving the deep gas incentive only for new leases issued in future sales will not encourage exploration and production of much of the deep gas potential that underlies existing leases. Many of the best blocks have not been through a sale in decades. Also, new leases would be less able to use the existing infrastructure than existing leases so additional gas production would be delayed. Granting royalty relief on a case-by-case basis to existing leases would better protect against unnecessary royalty relief but is unlikely to encourage much additional production. The unavoidable complexity and delays in a system like we use in the discretionary deep water royalty relief program would discourage many lessees and delay the desired activity by those that would apply.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risk of not offering royalty relief provided in this rulemaking action is that some deep gas resources in shallow water will not be developed, at least not during a period when growing demand and declines in traditional sources for natural gas will lead to volatile prices.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dealing With Sustained Casing Pressure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule 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 rule will codify these procedures and ensure uniform regulatory practices among MMS regional offices. The changes will also help ensure that lessees will continue to conduct operations in a safe manner.]]></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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Reclassification of the Straight-Horned Markhor Population of the Torghar Region of Baluchistan, Pakistan, From Endangered to Threatened</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We received a petition to reclassify a certain population of the straight-horned markhor from endangered to threatened. We must determine whether a status review shows that the petitioned action is warranted; if so, we will propose to change the classification of the straight-horned markhor population of the Torghar Hills region of Baluchistan 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will propose changes in the regulations governing the practice of falconry in the United States.  We propose substantial reorganization of the current regulations, combining 50 CFR 21.28 and 21.29 and reorganizing the topics in those sections.  We will add or change some provisions in the current regulations.  The changes will make it easier to understand the requirements for falconry and the procedures for obtaining a falconry permit.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is based on the substantial improvement in the species' status and improved understanding of the species' biology and management needs. Since its listing in 1975, the population of the American crocodile in Florida has more than doubled and its distribution has expanded. Land acquisition has also provided protection for many important nesting areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

Currently, EPA registers pesticides through a lengthy process that considers a number of environmental factors. The volume of registrations and reregistrations and the fact that the EPA registration process differs significantly from most of the Service's usual consultations requires that we develop a particular process that addresses the special circumstance of these agency actions. An advance notice of rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2003 (68 FR 3785) on this issue.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We intend to propose to de-designate two Manatee Refuges in FL: Pansy Bayou Manatee Refuge, in Sarasota County, and Cocoa Beach Manatee Refuge in Brevard County. These Refuges were designated on November 8, 2002 (67 Federal Register 68450). We will propose to de-designate these Refuges because the State of Florida has instituted additional manatee protection measures at these sites, making federal designation unnecessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is establishing spring/summer migratory bird subsistence harvest regulations in Alaska for the 2004 subsistence season. The rulemaking is necessary because the regulations governing the subsistence harvest of migratory birds in Alaska are subject to annual public review. This rulemaking sets regulations that expire on August 31, 2004, for the spring/summer subsistence harvest of migratory birds in Alaska. Seasons will open after March 11 and will close prior to September 1.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Termination of the Southern Sea Otter Translocation Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service is planning to propose to terminate the southern sea otter translocation program and change regulations to allow sea otters residing in designated translocation and management zones to remain after the zones are abolished. The southern sea otter translocation program, established under authority of Public Law 99-625, has failed to meet its established goals and objectives. A draft supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS), to be released for public comment in the fall of 2003, includes a full evaluation of the southern sea otter translocation program and alternatives for the future of the program. The proposed rule describes the actions necessary to implement the proposed action identified in the SEIS. This decision is consistent with recommendations from the southern sea otter recovery team and resolves conflicts that have arisen between Fish and Wildlife Service mandates under the ESA and PL 99-625.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Mammals: Revised Definition of &quot;Authentic Native Articles of Handicrafts and Clothing&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A proposed rulemaking action that removes language put into place by an FWS interim rule intended to govern the taking of northern sea otters by Alaska Natives for use in creating and selling handicrafts and clothing under section 101(b), the Native exemption section of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Our interim rule revised the definition of "authentic native articles of handicrafts and clothing" in 50 CFR 18.3, to limit takes to the period "on or before December 21, 1972" and precluded the take of sea otters by Alaska Natives for use in creating and selling handicrafts and clothing under section 101(b).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Listing the Miami Blue Butterfly as Endangered; Listing the Cassius Blue, Ceraunus Blue, and Nickerbean (Ammon) Blue Butterflies as Threatened Due to Similarity of Appearance to the Miami Blue</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FWS proposes to emergency list the Miami blue butterfly as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The geographic range of this butterfly, which once extended north along the Florida coasts to about St. Petersburg and Daytona, has been severely reduced and is now restricted to Bahia Honda Key, Monroe County, Florida. The wild population of Miami blue is estimated at 45 to 50 adults, the number found consistently during survey efforts, while the documented range of the population fluctuates between 15 and 135 adults, depending on season and other environmental factors. We also determine the cassius blue butterfly (Leptotes cassius theonus), ceraunus blue butterfly (Hemiargus ceraunus antibubastus or Hemiargus hanno antibubastus), and nickerbean (ammon) blue butterfly (Cyclargus (Hemiargus) ammon ammon) to be threatened due to similarity of appearance to the Miami blue, with a special rule pursuant to section 4(e) of the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for the Mexican Spotted Owl  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose the designation of critical habitat pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, for the Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida). The owl inhabits canyon and montane forest habitats across a range that extends from southern Utah and Colorado, through Arizona, New Mexico, and west Texas, to the mountains of central Mexico. We propose to designate approximately 5.5 million hectares (ha) (13.5 million acres (ac)) of critical habitat in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, mostly on Federal lands.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On the basis of comments received, we may finalize a rule to list the Beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) as endangered. This species historically inhabited the Caspian, Black, Azov, 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 Azov since the mid-1980s. This species has declined due to fishing pressure. This species is highly valued for its caviar and is subject to substantial levels of both legal and illegal fishing. The Beluga sturgeon has also been impacted by dam building and other forms of habitat modification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These counterpart regulations will revise the existing Endangered Species Act consultation procedures by allowing agencies implementing the National Fire Plan to make determinations that proposed actions are "not likely to adversely affect" threatened or endangered species or designated critical habitat without the need to obtain written concurrence from the Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service. The regulation will streamline the consultation process for National Fire Plan projects and is expected to achieve the same protections presently afforded to species protected under the Endangered Species Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 22, 2001, the Fish and Wildlife Service adopted special regulations governing take of the threatened Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei), which provide exemption from take provisions under section 9 of the Endangered Species Act for certain activities related to rodent control, ongoing agricultural activities, landscape maintenance, and existing uses of water. On October 1, 2002, the Service amended those regulations to provide exemptions for certain activities related to noxious weed control and ongoing ditch maintenance activities. This action proposes to extend the regulations, as amended, for 10 years. Current Amended 4(d) rule will expire in May 22, 2004.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Amendment to the Nonessential Experimental Population Rule for the Mexican Gray Wolf</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service is currently exploring a revision to the Mexican wolf nonessential experimental population rule. In 2000, a panel of scientists recommended a proposed revision to the experimental population rule after conducting a 3-year review of the program. The Service intends to propose a revision to the rule allowing for the direct release of wolves into an expanded release area, but still within the area where wolves are currently authorized to occur. The Service also plans to propose a revision to expand upon the designated recovery area, allowing for greater management flexibility when a wolf travels outside of this area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reopening of Comment Period on the Threatened Status of the Sacramento Splittail (Pogonichthys Macrolepidotis)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest in Alaska; Regulations for the Spring and Summer 2003 Season</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is the first of annual regulations that will prescribe frameworks for harvest dates, species that can be taken, and methods and means for subsistence harvest of migratory birds during the spring and summer in Alaska.  These regulations were developed under a new process involving the Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and Alaska Native representatives. A 1916 treaty with Canada established a closed season for the taking of migratory birds between March 10 and September 1.  The governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States recently amended the 1916 treaty and a subsequent 1936 treaty to provide for the legal subsistence harvest of migratory birds and their eggs in Alaska and Canada during the closed season.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Hunting; Proposed 2003-2004 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations (Preliminary) With Requests for Indian Tribal Proposals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2003-2004 hunting season.  We annually prescribe outside limits (frameworks) within which States may select hunting seasons.  We also request proposals from Indian tribes that wish to establish special migratory bird hunting regulations on Federal Indian reservations and ceded lands.  Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide hunting opportunities for recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal governments in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at levels compatible with migratory bird population status and habitat conditions.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is the final phase of a series of regulations modifying the use restrictions for snowmobiles and snowcoaches in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.  This regulation, when published as a final rule, will implement new provisions for snowmobile and snowcoach management that arose from the Record of Decision signed March 25, 2003.  The NPS will be working to have the final rule in effect before the start of the 2003-2004 winter use season.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The rulemaking is necessary as a result of legal action taken by the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA) and others in June 2001.  The NPS agreed to reevaluate the impacts of the existing regulations on local economies and to analyze and incorporate provisions for new technology snowmobile engines into the existing Winter Use Management Plan.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The National Park Service entered into a settlement agreement with ISMA and others in June 2001.  This agreement was a result of a lawsuit initiated by ISMA disputing provisions of the snowmobile regulations written at the end of the Clinton Administration.  The settlement agreement required publication of a final rule, if necessary, by November 15, 2002.  That settlement agreement was amended and final regulations are now required by December 15, 2003.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The only alternative to these regulations would be to allow provisions of the existing regulations for the parks go into effect for the winter use season 2003-2004.  The result would be a 50 percent reduction in snowmobiles allowed into Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks with each entrance station being allotted a set number of users to enter per day.  Those snowmobiles would not be required to be cleaner or quieter.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[For the purposes of the benefit-cost analysis, the 2002 "delay rule" (alternative 1b in the SEIS) represents the baseline against which other alternatives were compared.  Under this baseline, most snowmobile use would be prohibited in the parks as of the winter of 2004-2005, with restrictions on snowmobile use phased in during the winter of 2003-2004.  Alternatives 2-4 should provide greater economic benefits to snowmobile riders and businesses that support them since they are less restrictive relative to the baseline.  The primary group that would incur costs under alternatives 2-4 would be the park visitors who do not ride snowmobiles and the businesses that provide services to these visitors as well as members of the general public who place a value on protecting park resources from the negative externalities associated with snowmobile use.  Of the alternatives that allow for snowmobile use, alternative 3 is expected to impose the lowest cost on non-snowmobile users.  Alternative 4 is expected to impose only slightly higher costs on non-snowmobile users than alternative 3.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[If the rulemaking were not to proceed, the gateway communities surrounding Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks would experience a decrease in snowmobile use by 50 percent beginning during the winter use season 2003-2004.  Allowing the existing regulations to become effective would cause adverse economic impacts to the local communities and surrounding three-State area.]]></RISKS>

        <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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The  Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) created an abandoned mine land reclamation program funded by a fee assessed on each ton of coal produced.   The fees are placed into a fund that is used to reclaim lands and waters adversely impacted by coal mining before enactment of SMCRA.  The Energy Policy Act of 1992 requires OSM to transfer interest accumulating on the fund to the United Mine Workers of America Combined Benefit Fund for use in paying health care benefits for former coal miners unassigned to a specific company.  The Energy Ploicy Act extended the collection of reclamation fees through September 30, 2004, with  a requirement that after that date the fee must be established at a rate adequate to continue to provide for these transfers.  This rule will address that requirement, including what the transfer amount and new fees should be, what operations should pay those fees, how the fees should be assessed, and the interval at which the new rate structure should be evaluated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Processing State Program Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing revisions to our regulations governing the processing of State program amendments to provide additional assurances that the amendments are processed in a timely manner. An approved State program amendment allows a State to regulate surface coal mining operations within its borders. The existing regulations require us to take over an approved State program when the State fails to amend its program in a timely manner. This can be disruptive to the mining industry, expensive for the Federal Government, and, in many instances, unwarranted by the nature of the outstanding amendment. This rule will allow OSM to take action that is more appropriate in situations where the outstanding amendment does not impair the integrity of the approved State Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Indian Lands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSM regulates mining on Indian lands and the State regulates mining on non-Indian lands. OSM proposes to amend its regulations to clarify that the definition of "Indian lands" at 30 CFR 700.5 includes individual Indian trust allotments located within an approved tribal land consolidation area. The proposed clarification was required under the terms of a settlement agreement between the Department of the Interior and the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe to settle the tribes' challenges to a May 1989 Indian lands rulemaking. OSM has developed a preliminary draft rule that specifies that allotted lands would qualify as Indian lands for purposes of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act when OSM determines, on a case-by-case basis, that the allotments are supervised by an Indian tribe.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Financing Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We published a final rule in February 1999 that would conserve abandoned mine land (AML ) funds by allowing incidental coal recovered in AML construction projects to be sold to offset the cost of reclamation. This reduced the amount of money needed from the AML fund. The rule was challenged in court. The court upheld the rule but directed us to clarify what types of expenses could be considered in determining what qualifies as a Government-financed AML project. This rule will clarify the ambiguity created by the discussion in the preamble to the 1999 final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our regulations to comply with the Indian Financing Amendments Act of 2002, specifically 25 U.S.A. 1485(I), which requires the Secretary of the Interior to promulgate regulations to facilitate, administer, and promote transfers of leans and guaranteed and insured portions of loans as intended under the Act.  We also are introducing regulations to implement 25 U.S.A. 1497A and 1499, statutory changes dating back to 1988, concerning the guarantee of bonds and supplemental surety bonds.  The lack of regulations relating to this subject has inhibited the use of these provisions.]]></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>Participation in Justice Department Programs by Faith-Based Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice Department Program Participants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements Justice Department policy that, within the framework of constitutional church-state guidelines, faith-based and community organizations should be able to compete on an equal footing with other organizations for the Department's funding.  The Justice Department supports the participation of faith-based and community organizations in its programs.  Religious organizations, including religiously affiliated organizations, are an important part of the social services network of the United States, offering a multitude of social services to those in need.  In addition to places of worship, religious organizations include small nonprofit organizations created to provide one program or multiple services, as well as neighborhood groups formed to respond to a crisis or to lead community renewal. Religious groups everywhere, either acting alone or as partners with other service providers and government programs, serve the poor, help to reduce crime, addiction, and delinquency, and help to strengthen families and rebuild communities. 

All too often, however, Federal policy and programs have not recognized religious groups as resources for providing social assistance. Federal, State, and local governments have often imposed barriers to the participation of religious organizations in social service programs, including unwarranted regulatory barriers. 

President Bush has directed Federal agencies, including the Justice Department, to take steps to ensure that Federal policy and programs are fully open to faith-based and community groups in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution. The Administration believes that religiously affiliated, or faith-based groups, possess an under-appreciated ability to meet the needs of poor Americans and revitalize distressed neighborhoods. The Administration believes that there should be an equal opportunity for all organizations--both religious and nonreligious--to participate as partners in Federal programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

Under prior law, the defense of suits against Federal employees for torts committed in the scope of their employment was limited to claims involving the operation of motor vehicles. Public Law 100-694 expanded the coverage of the immunity provisions to include all common law torts committed by Federal employees in the scope of their employment. This rule conforms the Department's regulations to the expanded coverage of the statute.]]></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 (NCMEC), which shall forward that report to a law enforcement agency or agencies designated by the Attorney General. An interim final rule is being prepared that will reflect the change in the Agency to receive the reports and designating law enforcement agencies with whom NCMEC may share the reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Claims Under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Amendments of 2000; Amendments Contained in the Department  of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act of 2002</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Several recent legislative enactments have revised provisions of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, both procedurally and substantively. Many of the revisions have required the issuance of proposed regulations for public notice and comment--other revisions have been technical in nature and have been implemented in a final rulemaking.  

On November 2, 2002, the President signed the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act (Pub. L. 107-273). Section 11007 of Public Law 107-273 contains amendments to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), that are technical in nature. Although conforming changes need to be made to the regulations implementing RECA to reflect those technical changes, Public Law 107-273 does not impose a deadline for issuing regulations implementing the changes. 

On August 7, 2002, the Department issued two related rulemakings to implement amendments to RECA, enacted on July 10, 2000. The first is a final rule (CIV 100) which made changes consistent with the 2000 law. This final rule expands the list of diseases that are compensable for "downwinder" and "onsite participant" claimants; eliminates smoking distinctions; amends the list of geographical areas to provide additional radiation-affected areas for "downwinder" claimants; modifies the burden of proof for purposes of claims processing; allows claimants who have previously been denied compensation to file up to three times; and makes other technical revisions consistent with the changes to the law. As a result of the passage of Public Law 107-273 on November 2, 2002, this final rule requires additional revisions.  

The second rulemaking issued on August 7, 2002, is a proposed rule (CIV 101). The public comment period which initially closed on October 7, 2002, was extended for an additional period. That period expired on January 27, 2003. Over 100 comments were received by the Department. The proposed rule describes the expanded population of eligible uranium mine workers created by lowering the radiation exposure threshold for miners; identifies the new uranium mining states with respect to which miners may be eligible for compensation; includes provisions for compensation to aboveground miners; sets forth employment eligibility criteria for the new claimant categories (millers and ore transporters); describes the documentation that would be required to establish proof of employment in a uranium mine or mill or as an ore transporter; describes the medical documentation necessary to establish the existence of renal cancer and chronic renal disease; and revises the provision concerning representation of claimants before the Department with respect to claims brought under the Act. As with the final rule discussed above, passage of Public Law 107-273 on November 2, 2002, requires additional revisions to this proposed rule.

In light of the further technical changes that need to be made to implement Public Law 107-273, the Department intends to issue one final rule that will accomplish several goals:  (1) Requisite technical revisions will be made to CIV 100 consistent with Public Law 107-273; (2)   discuss comments received on the proposed rule (CIV 101); and (3) reflect relevant changes made by the Department in connection with those comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DNA Sampling of Federal Offenders Under the USA Patriot Act of 2001</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 3 of Public Law 106-546, the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 (the Act), requires the collection of DNA samples from certain categories of Federal offenders.  In addition, the Act details the responsibilities of the Bureau of Prisons 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.

On June 28, 2001, the Department of Justice published an interim rule to implement section 3 and related provisions of Public Law 106-546, the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 (66 FR 34363; June 28, 2001).  That rule, in part, specified the federal offenses that are treated as "qualifying Federal offenses" for purposes of collecting DNA samples from federal offenders. 

Subsequent to the publication of that interim rule, Congress enacted Public Law 107-56, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT Act) Act of 2001.  Section 503 of the USA PATRIOT Act added three new categories of qualifying Federal offenses for purposes of DNA sample collection: (1) Any offense listed in section 2332b(g)(5)(B) of title 18, United States Code; (2) any crime of violence (as defined in section 16 of title 18, United States Code); and (3) any attempt or conspiracy to commit any of the above offenses. Section 503 authorized the Attorney General to determine which offenses are included in these additional categories.  On March 11, 2003, the Department published a proposed rule (68 FR 11481) to revise a section of the existing regulations, 28 CFR 28.2, to add the offenses in these three new categories.  The next action to be published by the Department under this rulemaking will be a final rule which will finalize both the June 28, 2001 interim rule and the March 11, 2003 proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimum Qualifications for Annuity Brokers in Connection With Structured Settlements Entered Into by the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 11015(a) of Public Law 107-273, the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act, which was enacted on November 2, 2002.  Section 11015(a) provides:  "Not later than 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall establish a list of annuity brokers who meet minimum qualifications for providing annuity brokerage services in connection with structured settlements entered by the United States. This list shall be updated upon request by any annuity broker that meets the minimum qualifications for inclusion on the list.  The Attorney General shall transmit such list, and any updates to such list, to all United States Attorneys."  The rule sets forth the minimum qualifications for an annuity broker to be included on the list and the procedures to be followed by individual annuity brokers who desire to be listed.

To be considered for inclusion on the initial list to be transmitted to all United States Attorneys, annuity brokers must submit the Declaration set forth on the Civil Division web site to the Department of Justice's Torts Branch at the address provided below by no later than April 24, 2003.  (A copy of the Declaration is also included as an appendix to this rule, but will not be included in the Code of Federal Regulations, as it may be revised later.  The most current version of the Declaration will be available for download on the Civil Division's Web site.)  Submissions received after April 24, 2003, will be considered for inclusion in the next update of the list.  The list will be revised periodically, but not more often than twice every calendar year, beginning with calendar year 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>CIV 100 - Technical Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Several recent legislative enactments have revised provisions of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, both procedurally and substantively. Many of the revisions have required the issuance of proposed regulations for public notice and comment--other revisions have been technical in nature and have been implemented in a final rulemaking.  

On November 2, 2002, the President signed the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act (Pub. L. 107-273). Section 11007 of Public Law 107-273 contains amendments to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), that are technical in nature. Although conforming changes need to be made to the regulations implementing RECA to reflect those technical changes, Public Law 107-273 does not impose a deadline for issuing regulations implementing the changes. 

On August 7, 2002, the Department issued two related rulemakings to implement amendments to RECA, enacted on July 10, 2000. The first is a final rule (CIV 100) which made changes consistent with the 2000 law. This final rule expands the list of diseases that are compensable for "downwinder" and "onsite participant" claimants; eliminates smoking distinctions; amends the list of geographical areas to provide additional radiation-affected areas for "downwinder" claimants; modifies the burden of proof for purposes of claims processing; allows claimants who have previously been denied compensation to file up to three times; and makes other technical revisions consistent with the changes to the law. As a result of the passage of Public Law 107-273 on November 2, 2002, this final rule requires additional revisions.  

The second rulemaking issued on August 7, 2002, is a proposed rule (CIV 101). The public comment period which initially closed on October 7, 2002, was extended for an additional period. That period expired on January 27, 2003. Over 100 comments were received by the Department. The proposed rule describes the expanded population of eligible uranium mine workers created by lowering the radiation exposure threshold for miners; identifies the new uranium mining states with respect to which miners may be eligible for compensation; includes provisions for compensation to aboveground miners; sets forth employment eligibility criteria for the new claimant categories (millers and ore transporters); describes the documentation that would be required to establish proof of employment in a uranium mine or mill or as an ore transporter; describes the medical documentation necessary to establish the existence of renal cancer and chronic renal disease; and revises the provision concerning representation of claimants before the Department with respect to claims brought under the Act. As with the final rule discussed above, passage of Public Law 107-273 on November 2, 2002, requires additional revisions to this proposed rule.

In light of the further technical changes that need to be made to implement Public Law 107-273, the Department intends to issue one final rule that will accomplish several goals:  (1) Requisite technical revisions will be made to CIV 100 consistent with Public Law 107-273; (2)   discuss comments received on the proposed rule (CIV 101); and (3) reflect relevant changes made by the Department in connection with those comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>CIV 101 - Expansion of Coverage</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Several recent legislative enactments have revised provisions of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, both procedurally and substantively. Many of the revisions have required the issuance of proposed regulations for public notice and comment--other revisions have been technical in nature and have been implemented in a final rulemaking.  

On November 2, 2002, the President signed the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act (Pub. L. 107-273). Section 11007 of Public Law 107-273 contains amendments to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), that are technical in nature. Although conforming changes need to be made to the regulations implementing RECA to reflect those technical changes, Public Law 107-273 does not impose a deadline for issuing regulations implementing the changes. 

On August 7, 2002, the Department issued two related rulemakings to implement amendments to RECA, enacted on July 10, 2000. The first is a final rule (CIV 100) which made changes consistent with the 2000 law. This final rule expands the list of diseases that are compensable for "downwinder" and "onsite participant" claimants; eliminates smoking distinctions; amends the list of geographical areas to provide additional radiation-affected areas for "downwinder" claimants; modifies the burden of proof for purposes of claims processing; allows claimants who have previously been denied compensation to file up to three times; and makes other technical revisions consistent with the changes to the law. As a result of the passage of Public Law 107-273 on November 2, 2002, this final rule requires additional revisions.  

The second rulemaking issued on August 7, 2002, is a proposed rule (CIV 101). The public comment period which initially closed on October 7, 2002, was extended for an additional period. That period expired on January 27, 2003. Over 100 comments were received by the Department. The proposed rule describes the expanded population of eligible uranium mine workers created by lowering the radiation exposure threshold for miners; identifies the new uranium mining states with respect to which miners may be eligible for compensation; includes provisions for compensation to aboveground miners; sets forth employment eligibility criteria for the new claimant categories (millers and ore transporters); describes the documentation that would be required to establish proof of employment in a uranium mine or mill or as an ore transporter; describes the medical documentation necessary to establish the existence of renal cancer and chronic renal disease; and revises the provision concerning representation of claimants before the Department with respect to claims brought under the Act. As with the final rule discussed above, passage of Public Law 107-273 on November 2, 2002, requires additional revisions to this proposed rule.

In light of the further technical changes that need to be made to implement Public Law 107-273, the Department intends to issue one final rule that will accomplish several goals:  (1) Requisite technical revisions will be made to CIV 100 consistent with Public Law 107-273; (2)   discuss comments received on the proposed rule (CIV 101); and (3) reflect relevant changes made by the Department in connection with those comments.]]></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 five 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 updates the forfeiture regulations by adding discretionary authority for publication of notice of administrative forfeitures on the Internet in lieu of publication in a newspaper, by adding 18 U.S.C. section 981 seizure-for-forfeiture authority for INS in light of CAFRA's expansion of 18 U.S.C. section 981(a)(1)(C) forfeiture authority, which now includes proceeds of Immigration and Nationality Act offenses and visa and passport fraud offenses.  The rule also adds seizure-for-forfeiture authority for FBI and INS in 18 U.S.C. section 1594 cases (forfeiture of property involved in peonage and slavery (Pub. L. 106-386; 114 Stat. 1464 (October 28, 2000)).  In addition, to reflect reorganization of INS, the rule replaces references to INS Regional Directors with references to the INS Director, Asset Forfeiture Office.

Fifth, the rule modifies the regulations at 28 CFR part 9 governing petitions for remission or mitigation of forfeiture to refer only to DEA's "Forfeiture Counsel" as the pertinent official in DEA's forfeiture cases; to replace the reference to "INS Regional Directors" with "INS Director Asset Forfeiture Office or designee" as the pertinent official with authority to grant remission or mitigation in INS administrative forfeiture cases; to incorporate where applicable CAFRA's statutory criteria for innocent ownership; and to provide discretionary authority for the Ruling Officer to waive the payment of forfeiture-related costs and expenses, except payments of awards based on the forfeiture and payments of the recognized interests of other third parties in the property forfeited, as a condition of remission in cases in which the petitioner is a victim of the underlying offense.  In addition, the discretionary authority to waive costs in remissions to owners and lienholders that is already provided at 28 CFR 9.7(a)(3) and 9.7(b)(2)(i) and (ii) is amended to incorporate the same exceptions as those applicable in remissions to victims.]]></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 nonimmigrant 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>

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 a section 107 extension of up to 2 years.  By subsequent FCC orders, the assistance capability compliance date for packet mode communication is November 19, 2001, and for the additional capabilities/&quot;punchlist&quot; capabilities is June 30, 2002. Carriers may again petition the FCC for a section 107 extension.

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Final Notice of Capacity; Supplement To Respond to Remand</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by section 104 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), the FBI published 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. The FBI published the Final Notice of Capacity for local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS on March 12, 1998 (63 FR 12218).

This Notice provided numerical requirements for the "actual" and "maximum" numbers of surveillance that wired and wireless telephone networks should be able to accommodate, broken down by geographic region. The numbers were derived from a survey and analysis of the numbers of surveillance historically conducted at the same time in every region throughout the country.  

After its issuance, telecommunications carriers and trade associations challenged the Final Notice on a number of grounds, primarily alleging that the numbers of surveillance stated therein were too high. To summarize, the FBI was directed by the Court of Appeals to provide further explanation on two issues:  (1) The decision to treat as "simultaneous" any two or more historical surveillance on the same day and, (2) the decision to set forth only one "actual" and one "maximum" capacity requirement number per region, rather than separate requirements for each type of surveillance.

This Supplemental Notice provides further explanation for the FBI's interpretation of the term "simultaneously," and sets forth a new method of interpreting the existing capacity requirements that will allow carriers to break out the number of communications interceptions from the total requirement. The Supplement also sets forth new guidance that will reduce the requirements for simultaneous communications interceptions applicable to carriers operating in regions with high capacity requirements. This is being done to reduce the concerns raised by the Court of Appeals that such carriers could be unduly burdened with requirements to accommodate an unduly high number of simultaneous interceptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

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 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 a section 107 extension of up to 2 years.  By subsequent FCC orders, the assistance capability compliance date for packet mode communication is November 19, 2001, and for the additional capabilities/&quot;punchlist&quot; capabilities is June 30, 2002. Carriers may again petition the FCC for a section 107 extension.  Lastly, as a result of the publication of the Final Notice of Capacity for local exchange, cellular, and broadband PCS carriers, these carriers must be in compliance with section 104 by March 12, 2001.

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>

        <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 misunderstood 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. In a separate related rulemaking (RIN 1117-AA60), 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.)]]></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 through 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 phenylpropanolamine.  
 
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. DEA will also be seeking input regarding alternative means to effectively prevent the theft and diversion of these products.  Keeping pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine products in such secure areas will limit the opportunity for theft.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Chemical Mixtures Containing Listed Forms of Phosphorus</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a previous rulemaking, (RIN 1117-AA57) DEA made red phosphorus, white phosphorus, and hypophosphorous acid (and its salts) List I chemicals.  By this rulemaking (1117-AA66), DEA is requesting information from interested parties to propose regulations governing chemical mixtures containing the List I chemicals red phosphorus, white phosphorus, and hypophosphorous acid (and its salts). Currently, all chemical mixtures containing red phosphorus, white phosphorus, and hypophosphorous acid (and its salts) are exempt from regulation.  These mixtures will remain exempt until publication of rulemakings regarding chemical mixtures (see RIN 1117-AA31).  These three List I chemicals are used industrially and have multiple commercial purposes. They are also used in the illicit production of methamphetamine and amphetamine.  Information sought will help determine whether there are chemical mixtures containing red phosphorus, white phosphorus, and hypophosphorous acid (and its salts), which should be exempt from the regulations governing listed chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Chemical Registration Waivers; Exemption From Chemical Registration Fees for Certain Persons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is proposing amending its regulations to waive the requirement of registration for contract processors, medical/first aid kit providers, distributors of sample packages of drug products, and distributors of research/reference standards. These actions are being taken in response to industry comments and suggestions. DEA has determined that requiring registration for these activities is not necessary for effective enforcement under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and waiving the requirement of registration will ease regulatory burdens for the affected industries. DEA is also proposing exempting charitable organizations and governmental entities from initial and renewal registration fees. These fee exemptions will bring the chemical regulations into conformance with the controlled substances regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements for Drug Products Containing Gamma Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is publishing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend its regulations to require additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements for drug products containing gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) for which an application has been approved under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.  The Hillary J. Farias and Samantha Reid Date-Rape Drug Prohibition Act of 2000 establishes specific reporting and recordkeeping requirements with respect to the distribution and dispensing of drug products containing GHB.

This NPRM proposes recordkeeping requirements for practitioners dispensing Schedule III GHB drug products and reporting requirements for manufacturers and distributors of Schedule III GHB drug products.  Specifically, this NPRM would require pharmacies and practitioners dispensing GHB to maintain and make available for inspection the name of the prescribing practitioner, the prescribing practitioner's Federal and State registration numbers with expiration dates, verification that the prescribing practitioner possesses appropriate registration, the patient's insurance provider, if available, as well as the patient's medical need for the drug.  This NPRM also proposes to include Schedule III GHB drug products as controlled substances that must be reported under the Automation of Reports and Consolidated Orders System (ARCOS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Chemical Registration and Reregistration Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 1, 1999, DEA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (see RIN 1117-AA50) regarding its chemical registration and reregistration fees.  Subsequent to publication of this rule, DEA's investigative activities increased.  As has been previously noted elsewhere, costs for investigative activities including, but not limited to, extensive investigation and collection of documentation of violative practices by registrants, attorney review and preparation by DEA's Office of Chief Counsel, staff and attorney time to prepare for proceedings to deny or revoke a registration, and Administrative Law Judge and staff to conduct registration denial hearings were not included in previous fee calculations.  Due to the increased costs associated with these investigative activities, DEA is reevaluating the costs of the chemical control program and calculating new fees to incorporate these increased costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Preventing the Accumulation of Surplus Controlled Substances at Long-Term Care Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To address the accumulation of excess controlled substances at long-term care facilities (LTCFs), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is proposing to permit the use of automated dispensing systems operated by provider pharmacies. Specifically, this proposed rule would permit a DEA-registered pharmacy to register at a LTCF (without any additional registration fees) and to store controlled substances in the automated dispensing system at the LTCF. The use of automated dispensing systems would allow dispensing of single dosage units of prescribed controlled substances, provide electronic records of each dispensing, and mitigate the problem of excess stocks of controlled substances at the LTCF and the disposal of those stocks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification of Registration Requirements for Individual Practitioners</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is publishing this rule to clarify its registration requirements regarding practitioners practicing in more than one State.  There is confusion within the regulated industry regarding whether a practitioner who practices and is registered in one State and wishes to practice and prescribe in another State must register with DEA in the second State.  To address the confusion caused by the regulation as currently written, DEA is proposing to amend its regulations to make it clear that when an individual practitioner who practices and is registered in one State seeks to practice and prescribe controlled substances in another State, he/she must obtain a separate DEA registration for the subsequent State.]]></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 that 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 establishing 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>Chemical Registration and Reregistration Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 1999, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) proposed 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 were proposed to 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. Subsequent to publication, concerns were raised about costs included in this user fee.  

As DEA has noted in previous rulemakings on this subject, certain costs for investigative activities have not been included in previous fees. Specifically, costs for investigative activities including, but not limited to, extensive investigation and collection of documentation of violative practices by registrants, attorney review and preparation by DEA's Office of Chief Counsel, staff and attorney time to prepare for proceedings to deny or revoke a registration, and Administrative Law Judge and staff to conduct registration denial hearings were not included in previous fee calculations. Costs for these investigative activities have risen as DEA activities have increased necessitating the re-evaluation of this user fee.  Based on these concerns, DEA will be publishing a notice to formally withdraw the rulemaking.  For purposes of clarity, DEA will withdraw this rulemaking at the same time as it publishes a new NPRM fee rule (see RIN 1117-AA72).]]></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. In a separate related rulemaking (RIN 1117-AA61), DEA is proposing to revise its regulations to permit DEA-registered prescribers to electronically write, sign, and transmit prescriptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In previous rulemakings, DEA made gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) a List I chemical and established thresholds for transactions involving this chemical. DEA has requested information from interested persons in order to establish regulations governing chemical mixtures containing gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), a List I chemical. Currently, all chemical mixtures containing GBL are exempt from regulation.  These mixtures will remain exempt until publication of rulemakings regarding chemical mixtures (see RIN 1117-AA31).  GBL is used in the illicit manufacture of GHB, a Schedule I controlled substance. Specifically, DEA sought information on the types of products containing GBL; the concentration levels of GBL in the product formulations; and the packaging, distribution, use, and commercial availability of these products. This information will help to determine whether there are chemical mixtures containing GBL which should be exempt from the regulations governing listed chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Authority for Practitioners To Dispense or Prescribe Approved Narcotic (Opiod) Substances for Maintenance or Detoxification Treatment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is proposing amendments to its regulations to implement the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA). These amendments would allow qualified practitioners to dispense and prescribe narcotic (opiod) controlled substances approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically for use in maintenance or detoxification treatment.

The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and current regulations require that practitioners who want to conduct maintenance or detoxification treatment using narcotic (opiod) controlled substances be registered with DEA as narcotic treatment programs (NTPS) in addition to the practitioners' personal registrations.  The separate NTP registrations authorize the practitioners to dispense or administer, but not prescribe, narcotic (opiod) controlled substances.

These regulations establish an exemption from the separate registration requirement for qualified practitioners dispensing or prescribing Schedule III, IV, and V narcotic (opiod) controlled substances approved by the FDA specifically for use in maintenance or detoxification treatment. This NPRM would allow "qualifying physicians," whether they are already registered as NTPs or not, to dispense and prescribe Schedule III, IV, and V narcotic (opiod) controlled substances or combinations of controlled substances approved by FDA specifically for use in maintenance or detoxification treatment.]]></ABSTRACT>

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. In a separate related rulemaking (RIN 1117-AA61), DEA is proposing to revise its regulations to permit DEA-registered prescribers to electronically write, sign, and transmit prescriptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is amending 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 rulemaking provides regulatory guidelines and establishes a procedure for prospective bidders and/or end-users 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 "Hillary J. Farias and Samantha Reid Date-Rape Drug Prohibition Act of 2000" amends section 102(34) of the Controlled Substances 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 statute, on April 24, 2000, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) amended its regulations to reflect the status of GBL as a List I chemical subject to the requirements of the CSA and its regulations.  Establishment of a threshold for GBL is the subject of a separate rulemaking, proposed on October 24, 2001.  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. Further, DEA is considering regulations regarding exemption of chemical mixtures containing GBL (RIN 1117-AA64).]]></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 phosphorus, or hypophosphorous 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 industry at the end user level. Further, DEA is considering regulations regarding the exemption of chemical mixtures containing red phosphorus, white phosphorus, and hypophosphorous acid (and its salts).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Allowing Central Fill Pharmacies To Fill Prescriptions for Controlled Substances on Behalf of Retail Pharmacies</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule is a conforming regulation that implements the provisions of the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act of 2000 (MAPA). For retailers and for distributors required to submit monthly mail order reports under 21 U.S.C. 830(b)(3), MAPA reduced the transaction thresholds for pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine drug products to 9 grams per single transaction and added a package size restriction of 3 grams.  MAPA added the requirement that distributors who are subject to submitting mail order reports must report certain export transactions. To reduce the burden on the regulated industry, MAPA established certain exemptions to the mail order reporting requirement and gave DEA authority to grant additional exemptions as warranted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is adjusting the current fee schedule for DEA controlled substances registration to adequately recover necessary costs associated with the Diversion Control Program (DCP) as mandated by the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1993, section 111(b), Public Law 102-395. DEA published its last fee revision in 1993.  Since that time, fees have remained unchanged. This final rule will finalize the fee structure under the existing registration system to fully support the operations of the DCP for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. DEA is required by law to collect the full costs of the DCP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 106-172, signed into law on February 18, 2000, and known as the "Hillary J. Farias and Samantha Reid Date-Rape Drug Prohibition Act of 2000" amends section 102(34) of the Controlled Substances 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 statute, on April 24, 2000, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) amended its regulations to reflect the status of GBL as a List I chemical subject to the requirements of the CSA and its regulations.  Establishment of a threshold for GBL is the subject of a separate rulemaking, proposed on October 24, 2001.  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. Further, DEA is considering regulations regarding exemption of chemical mixtures containing GBL (RIN 1117-AA64).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to amend its Inmate Discipline and Special Housing Unit (SHU) regulations.  We intend this amendment to streamline and clarify these regulations, eliminating unnecessary text and obsolete language and removing internal agency procedures (guidance to staff on how to implement disciplinary processes) that need not be in rules text.  The changes involve extensive reorganization and updates to obsolete and unnecessary disciplinary codes and processes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Safeguards for Psychiatric Treatment and Medication</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) amends its regulations on Psychiatric Treatment and Medication.  We make several minor word changes to conform more closely with the language of 18 U.S.C. sections 4241 to 4247 on psychiatric hospitalization.  We remove from the rule one element of the standard for determining whether treatment or psychotropic medication is necessary because this element is inconsistent with community standards and case law.  We also change the rules to conform with statutory authority regarding military prisoners and District of Columbia (DC) Code violators in Bureau custody.  Previously, our procedures for involuntary psychiatric treatment and medication did not apply to military prisoners or DC Code violators.  Under new statutory authority, military prisoners who are incompetent to stand trial, or who have been found not guilty by reason of lack of mental responsibility may now be committed to the Bureau's custody.  Sentenced DC Code offenders may now be involuntarily committed to a Bureau psychiatric hospital.  Such military prisoners and DC Code violators are subject to our regulations.  We revise the applicability statement accordingly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Telephone Regulations and Inmate Financial Responsibility</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) is withdrawing certain provisions in its rules on telephone regulations and on the inmate financial responsibility program (IFRP) which were published in the Federal Register on April 4, 1994 (59 FR 15812).

In the April 4, 1994, revision of its rules on telephone regulations and on the IFRP, the Bureau delayed the effective date for provisions in sections 540.105(c) and 545.11(d)(10), which imposed limitations on the telephone privileges of inmates refusing to participate in the IFRP. These provisions were to become effective January 3, 1995. Due to ongoing litigation in Washington v. Reno, the effective date for these provisions was further delayed until January 4, 1996 (60 FR 240). 

In accordance with the Court-approved settlement in Washington v. Reno, through this rule, the Bureau withdrew these provisions and the reference to the IFRP telephone restrictions in 28 CFR section 540.100(a) and published at 61 FR 92 a new proposed rule to impose a different restriction on the telephone privileges of inmates who refuse to participate in the IFRP.  This rule was finalized on December 28, 1999 (64 FR 72798, see RIN 1120-AA49).]]></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[Current Bureau of Prisons regulations on institutional management authorize the Bureau to impose special administrative measures with respect to specified inmates, based on information provided by senior intelligence or law enforcement officials, where it has been determined to be necessary to prevent the dissemination either of classified information that could endanger the national security or of other information that could lead to acts of violence and terrorism.  

This rule extends the period of time for which such special administrative measures may be imposed from 120 days to up to 1 year and modifies the standards for approving extensions of such special administrative measures for further increments of time.  In addition, in those cases where the Attorney General has certified that reasonable suspicion exists to believe that an inmate may use communications with attorneys or their agents to further or facilitate acts of violence or terrorism, this rule amends the existing regulations to provide that the Bureau is authorized to monitor mail or communications with attorneys in order to deter such acts, subject to specific procedural safeguards, to the extent permitted under the Constitution and laws of the United States.  Finally, this rule provides that the head of each component of the Department of Justice that has custody of persons for whom special administrative measures are determined to be necessary may exercise the same authority to impose such measures as the Director of the Bureau of Prisons.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Good Conduct Time: Aliens With Confirmed Orders of Deportation, Exclusion, or Removal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to amend its rules in 28 CFR part 523 on Good Conduct Time (GCT).  When considering GCT, we propose to allow 54 days GCT for each year served if the inmate is an alien with a confirmed order of deportation, exclusion, or removal from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

This proposed rule will exempt such inmate aliens from the "satisfactory progress in a literacy program" provision of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (VCCLEA) and/or the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PLRA).  The Bureau's Literacy Program, described in 28 CFR part 544, subpart H, currently comprises only GED attainment.

This means that inmate aliens who have confirmed orders of deportation, exclusion, or removal, but do not have a high school diploma or GED, will not need to demonstrate satisfactory progress toward earning a GED credential to be considered for the full benefits of GCT.

In this document, we also propose to reorganize the rule for clarity and accuracy.  Other than the substantive change regarding sentenced deportable aliens, we make no further substantive changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) revises its rules on Civil Contempt of Court Commitments to include references to relevant DC Code provisions regarding civil contempt commitments.  We make this revision to accommodate DC Code offenders in Bureau institutions or Bureau contract facilities under the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 (DC Revitalization Act), DC Code section 24-101(a) and (b).  We also revise this rule to clarify existing provisions by using simpler organization and language.  For further simplification, we remove language relating solely to internal agency practices and procedures.  We do not, however, make any substantive changes to the current rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to streamline its rules on the Central Inmate Monitoring system (CIM).  We intend this amendment to streamline our regulations by removing internal agency management procedures that need not be stated in regulation.  Bureau policy is a more appropriate vehicle through which to provide instruction and guidance to staff.  All the provisions we removed consist of our instruction and guidance to Bureau staff.  These provisions relate solely to internal agency management and practice and do not impose obligations or confer any benefits upon our regulated entities (the inmates) or the public.  The procedures that were in these regulations will continue to exist, unchanged, in our policy statement on the Admission and Orientation Program.  Any requirement imposed on our staff in these rules will remain a Bureau-wide requirement in our policy. It is important to note that we have not changed the substance of the CIM rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Admission and Orientation Program: Removal From Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to remove its rules on the Admission and Orientation (A&O) Program from the CFR. We intend this amendment to streamline our regulations by removing internal agency management procedures that need not be stated in regulation.

The three rules in 28 CFR subpart E, sections 522.40, 522.41, and 522.43, contained descriptions of the Bureau's A&O Program. Although we are removing these rules from the CFR, we retain the language of these rules in our A&O policy, which is an instructional document for Bureau employees and institutional staff.
	
Section 522.40 required institutions and staff to "offer each newly committed inmate an orientation to the institution," which includes information on inmate rights, responsibilities, obligations, and the institution's programs and disciplinary system. 
	
Section 522.41 delineated Warden and staff responsibility for conducting the A&O Program. This section required staff involved in the A&O program to develop an outline of information to present during A&O and develop written orientation materials. This section also instructed staff to monitor inmates with significant emotional stress during A&O, so that the institution could provide them with appropriate assistance.
	
Section 522.42 contained guidelines for institution A&O programs, including such details as location, activities, and length of the program.
	
All of these rules consist of our instruction and guidance to Bureau staff. These rules relate solely to internal agency management and practice and do not impose obligations or confer any benefits upon our regulated entities (the inmates) or the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) makes this interim final rule to clarify that, when there is an institutional or system-wide Bureau emergency that the Director or designee, such as a Warden, considers a threat to human life or safety, the Director or designee may suspend the operation of the rules in this chapter as necessary to handle the emergency.  This rule clarifies that the Director may suspend Bureau rules as needed in light of any emergency affecting the Bureau, and the Warden may do so to deal with emergencies at the institution level.  This rule change clarifying the Director's authority to modify Bureau rules to handle emergencies is especially necessary in light of the recent terrorist attacks, threats to national security, threats of anthrax surrounding mail processing, and other events occurring on and after September 11, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document makes a minor clarifying change to the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) regulations on release gratuities, transportation, and clothing. The amendment will clarify that the Bureau is authorized, upon an inmate's release, to provide transportation to an inmate's place of conviction or his legal residence only within the United States, under 18 U.S.C. 3624(d)(3). We intend this clarification to remove the misapprehension that the Bureau is authorized to provide transportation outside the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document revises the Bureau's regulations on postsecondary education to exclude courses which are offered as part of an occupational education program. 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[The Bureau of Justice Assistance will be proposing a major, substantive revision of the existing regulations (28 CFR part 32) that govern the Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) Program to streamline all aspects of the program and relieve claimants of administrative burdens no longer deemed necessary.  Further, the program will need to change as BJA moves into a paperless, electronic, Web-based application/review/payment program.  The proposed revised regulations will affect all components of the program: Death benefits, disability benefits, education benefits, and the related administrative components governing hearing officers and independent medical examinations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds are obtained from the Crime Victims Fund in the U.S. Treasury, which consists of fines, fees, and bond forfeitures from Federal offenders.  

The program regulations for the Victim Compensation Grant Program  provide the parameters under which State agencies may use these funds to reimburse crime victims directly for expenses related to crime.  Expenses that must be covered are lost wages, medical and mental health costs, and funeral and burial costs.  States, at their discretion, may cover loss of support, crime scene cleanup, and other such expenses.  

The Victim Assistance Program Regulations provide the parameters under which State agencies may use these funds to award grants to government and nonprofit organizations to provide direct services to crime victims.  Local programs include child abuse, homicide survivor, drunk driving, sexual assault, and domestic violence.  More than three million crime victims are served through these grants.

Costs to States are limited, as the VOCA grant provides for administrative costs for these programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Justice Programs is issuing this second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend the title and the definitions of "Indian tribe" and "construction" within 28 CFR part 91, subpart C (which outlines the requirements and procedures to award grants to Indian tribes for constructing jails on tribal lands for the incarceration of offenders subject to tribal jurisdiction).  Congress has mandated a new definition of "Indian tribe," and with this broader definition, Federal funds through the Office of Justice Programs are now available to a larger universe of tribal entities.  The amendment to the definition of "construction" is simply to expand and clarify the existing definition to assist applicants and grantees in better understanding the allowable scope a project may take.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Acts of 1998 and 2000</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is publishing final regulations implementing the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Acts of 1998 and 2000, which authorize BJA funds to eligible States, units of local government, and Indian tribes to purchase armored vests for use by law enforcement officers. This final rule reflects the revised process by which eligible jurisdictions may register, apply, and request funding under BJA's Internet-Based Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Program.

On September 23, 1998, BJA published an interim final rule, with a request for comments (63 FR 50759). The interim final rule established the process by which BJA would implement the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Act of 1998. BJA did not receive any comments in response to the interim final rule. Nevertheless, BJA initiated numerous outreach efforts, in the form of focus groups and beta testing, to ensure that all affected parties had ample opportunity to review and participate in the program's design and development.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice will be adopting the proposed common rule on debarment and suspension.  The rule, as adopted, 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>

        <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[This rule amends Department regulations by establishing procedures incorporating the amended requirements of cancellation of removal for battered spouses and children under 240A(b)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act), and suspension of deportation under former section 244(a)(3) of the Act (as it existed before April 1, 1997), which were amended by section 1504 of the Battered Immigrant Women Protection Act of 2000.  

This rule also amends Department regulations by establishing procedures for certain battered spouses and children to reopen their removal or deportation proceedings to apply for the relief of cancellation of removal or suspension of deportation under 240(c)(6)(C)(iv) of the Act (as amended by section 1506 of the Battered Immigrant Women Protection Act of 2000). 

Additionally, this rule establishes procedures which must be followed by EOIR when an alien applies for a domestic violence victim waiver under section 237(a)(7) of the Act (as amended by section 1505(b) of the Battered Immigrant Women Protection Act of 2000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Executive Office for Immigration Review Attorney/Representative Registry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule concerns the Attorney General's authority to authorize practitioners to represent aliens in immigration proceedings pursuant to statute.  Under the pertinent statutory provision, aliens in immigration proceedings "shall have the privilege of being represented (at no expense to the government) by such counsel, authorized to practice in such proceedings, as he shall choose." 8 U.S.C. 1362

The proposed rule arises out of EOIR's electronic government initiatives which, when fully implemented, will enable electronic case access and filing for individuals in immigration proceedings before EOIR.  In essence, the rule amends the current definitions of "attorney" and "representative," the classes of individuals authorized to represent aliens, to include only those persons who have registered with EOIR.    

Additionally, the rule delegates authority to the Director to require such a registration, and to establish procedures for registration.  In concert with that authority, the rule permits the Director to administratively suspend from practice before EOIR any practitioner who fails to comply with registration procedures and requirements.

Functionally, practitioners will be required to register with EOIR over a secure Internet connection, by providing name, address(es), date-of-birth, last four digits of social security number, and bar admission data.  Registered practitioners will be assigned a unique User ID and password that will authorize them to conduct electronic transactions with EOIR from desktop personal computers.  

Registration of practitioners assures the functionality, security, and success of EOIR's electronic government initiative, and serves as a prerequisite to electronic case access and filing by practitioners.
 
The proposed practitioner registration rule furnishes the Attorney General with the optimum measure of adaptability to establish the criteria and procedures for practitioner registration, while also preserving fairness for regulated parties and ensuring efficiency in government operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule is necessary to ensure that all such applicants are not otherwise inadmissible to or deportable from the United States and are eligible for relief from removal, before becoming an asylee or a lawful permanent resident in the United States and to minimize the threats an asylee or lawful permanent resident may present to public safety or national security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Asylum Claims Made by Aliens Arriving from Canada at Land-Border Ports-of-Entry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule amends the rules governing removal proceedings and the review of the Department of Homeland Security determinations to implement the terms of a recently signed Safe Third Country Agreement between the United States and Canada. The terms of that Agreement provide that certain categories of  aliens arriving from Canada at land border ports of entry or in transit from Canada will be returned to Canada for adjudication of their claims rather than having those claims heard in the United States. This proposed rule would establish the authority of immigration judges to apply this Agreement in removal proceedings and in reviewing negative determinations made by asylum officers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Numerical Limit on Asylum Grants and Refugee Admission 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 Department of Homeland Security 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[This rule amends the regulations of the Executive Office for Immigration Review by eliminating the conditional grant process at 8 CFR 1240.21 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.

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>Section 212(c) Relief for Aliens With Certain Criminal Convictions Before April 1, 1997</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule amends the regulations of the EOIR and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 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 final rule removes the Board of Immigration Appeals' (Board) jurisdiction over appeals of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decisions involving administrative fines under part 280 of title 8 CFR, and transfers that authority to Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO).  Part 280 governs the administration of fines under a variety of provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), most of which pertain to common carriers.  Most of the appeals are fines imposed under section 273 of the INA.  The transfer is essentially a reallocation of Agency resources within the Executive Office for Immigration Review to improve caseload management by substituting a  different set of decision makers, the OCAHO for the Board, while preserving the same procedures for the adjudication of appeals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule provides administrative review and the imposition of remedies for a "failure to select" cause of action under the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1988.  This new cause of action allows an aggrieved party to file a complaint against a covered employer when it seeks to hire an H-1B visa holder over an equally or better qualified United States worker who applied for the job.  Arbitrators of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service will adjudicate the complaints.  The regulation also allows for a review of the Arbitrator's findings, if necessary, imposing remedies against the employer.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule also amends ATF regulations to permit the importation of nonimportable firearm frames, receivers, or barrels under limited circumstances where the importation is solely for repair or replacement and not for the assembly of a new firearm that would be prohibited if assembled.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commerce in Firearms and Ammunition (Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 contains amendments to the Gun Control Act of 1968 (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 licensees to certify (in accordance with the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act) 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>

The interim rule also amends the regulations to require that aliens purchasing firearms provide proof of residency through the use of substantiating documentation, such as utility bills or a lease agreement. In addition, the regulations were amended to require that licensees examine a photo identification document from aliens purchasing firearms. These regulations implement firearms initiatives intended to protect the American public from gun violence.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[ATF is amending the regulations to implement the provisions of the Safe Explosives Act, title XI, subtitle C, of Public Law 107-296, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (enacted November 25, 2002).  This interim rule implements the law which, among other things:  (1) Requires that all persons receiving explosives on and after May 24, 2003, obtain a Federal license or permit, and creates a new type of permit, the "limited permit;" (2) requires applicants for licenses and permits to provide as part of their application the names and appropriate identifying information regarding employees authorized to possess explosives as well as fingerprints and photographs of "responsible persons;" (3) extends the time for ATF to act on an application for a license or permit from 45 days to 90 days; (4) authorizes warrantless inspections of places of storage maintained by applicants for limited permits and holders of limited permits; (5) provides that only licensees and holders of user permits must post their licenses and permits and make them available for inspection; (6) requires that ATF conduct background checks on responsible persons and employees authorized to possess explosive materials; (7) specifies additional categories of persons who may not lawfully receive or possess explosive materials, i.e., aliens (other than permanent resident aliens and other excepted aliens), persons dishonorably discharged from the military, and persons who have renounced their U.S. citizenship; (8) broadens the interstate commerce element of the prohibited persons section of the law to specify that a violation is committed if possession of explosive materials affects interstate or foreign commerce; (9) provides ATF the authority to require licensed manufacturers and licensed importers and persons who manufacture or import explosive materials or ammonium nitrate to provide samples, information on chemical composition, and other information relevant to the identification of the product; (10) broadens the scope of a criminal violation of the law to include any institution or organization receiving Federal financial assistance within the categories of property covered by the violation; (11) expands ATF's authority to grant relief from disabilities to all categories of prohibited persons; and (12) adds a new theft-reporting violation, providing felony penalties for a licensee or permittee who fails to report thefts of explosives within 24 hours of discovery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Safe Explosives Act, Title XI, Subtitle C, of Public Law 107-296--Delivery of Explosive Materials by Common or Contract Carrier</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends current regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to remove the requirement that common or contract carriers taking possession of explosive materials for delivery to a licensee or permittee complete ATF Form 5400.8 (Explosives Delivery Record) prior to taking possession of explosive materials, regardless of whether they are hired by the distributor or by the distributee.  ATF believes that this requirement is unduly burdensome and unnecessary.  Furthermore, ATF does not believe that the elimination of this form will result in diversion of explosive materials to criminal or terrorist use.  ATF will continue to require distributors of explosive materials to verify the identity of persons accepting possession of explosive materials for common or contract carriers, and will require distributors to record the name of the common or contract carrier and the full name of the driver in their permanent records.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waiver for Firearm Prohibition on Nonimmigrant Visa Holders</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 nonimmigrant 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>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, and an Availability of Draft Final Guidelines on April 2, 2002. In order to maintain consistency between ADAAG and the ADA Standards, the Department is reviewing its title III regulations 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 regulations. 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 Access 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.  The second stage 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 Access Board published an Availability of Draft Final Guidelines on April 2, 2002.  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 regulations for purposes of section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act and make related changes to its title II regulations.

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>

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 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. 

As part of its November 1999 NPRM, the Access Board published a summary of the regulatory assessment that it had prepared, including a cost impact analysis and a discussion of regulatory alternatives considered.  The Access Board will prepare and publish in summary form an updated regulatory assessment to accompany the final revised ADAAG.  The Access Board's regulatory assessment will also apply to the Department's proposed adoption of revised ADAAG as ADA standards insofar as the standards apply to new construction and alteration.  The Department will also prepare an additional regulatory assessment of the estimated annual cost of compliance with the revised standards with regard to existing facilities.

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>

By adopting revised ADAAG, this rulemaking will, among other things, address changes to the ADA Standards previously proposed in RINs 1190-AA26, 1190-AA36, and 1190-AA38, which have been withdrawn and merged into this rulemaking.  These changes include accessibility standards for State and local government facilities that had been previously published by the Access Board (RIN 1190-AA26) and the timing for the compliance of State and local governments with the curb-cut requirements of the title II regulation (RIN 1190-AA36).  In order to consolidate regulatory actions implementing title II of the ADA, on February 15, 2000, RINs 1190-AA26 and 1190-AA38 were merged into this rulemaking and on March 5, 2002, RIN 1190-AA36 was merged into this rulemaking.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 3, 2002, the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) published Final Guidelines to supplement the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), which form the basis of the Department's ADA Standards for Accessible Design.  The supplement establishes for the first time 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 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to adopt the guidelines adopted 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 ADAAG, 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 Immigration-Related Unfair 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 certain employers deemed "H-1B dependent" that deny 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). A companion to this rule will include changes to the regulations of the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO) of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) to provide for the review of arbitrators' decisions and, where appropriate, the award of administrative relief. These rules are being coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Labor (DOL), and the FMCS.

This rule also provides administrative review and the imposition of remedies for a "failure to select" cause of action under the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1988.  This new cause of action allows an aggrieved party to file a complaint against a covered employer when it seeks to hire an H-1B visa holder over an equally or better qualified United States worker who applied for the job.  Arbitrators of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service will adjudicate the complaints.  The regulation also allows the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer to review the Arbitrator's findings, if necessary, and to impose remedies against the employer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 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 16 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.]]></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 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act 1973</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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.  In a joint rulemaking described at RIN 1190-AA49, the Department and other Federal agencies are conforming their implementation regulations to the CRRA and to several other statutes.

In the rulemaking described under this RIN (1190-AA52) 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.  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.  

Further, this joint rule 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, which are not participating in the joint rule at 1190-AA49.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending 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 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 regulation will be published as part of a joint final rule involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

The use of UC wage records and other information under these and other statutes has increased in recent years while privacy and confidentiality issues have not yet been fully addressed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Trade Act of 2002, enacted on August 6, 2002, contains provisions amending title 2, chapter 2 of the Trade Act of 1974, entitled Adjustment Assistance for Workers. The amendments, effective 90 days from enactment (November 4, 2002), make additions to where and by whom a petition may be filed, expand eligibility to workers whose production has been shifted to certain foreign countries and to worker groups secondarily affected, and make substantive amendments regarding trade adjustment assistance (TAA) program benefits.

Although published as a final rule, comments were requested on several material changes, which were not included in the proposed rule. Comments were received and will be considered and included in the final rule implementing the amendments under the Trade Act of 2002. 

Furthermore, it is the agency's intention to create a new 20 CFR part 618 to incorporate the amendments and be written in plain English, while amending WIA regs at 20 CFR parts 666 and 672 regarding Rapid Response and National Emergency Grants as they relate to the TAA program.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Trade Act of 2002, enacted August 6, 2002, repeals the North American Free Trade Agreement-Transitional Adjustment Assistance provisions for workers affected by the NAFTA Implementation Act and adds significant amendments to worker benefits under Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers, as provided for in the Trade Act of 1974.

The Department is mandated to implement the amendments in 90 days from enactment, November 4, 2002. The 2002 Trade Act amends where and by whom a petition may be filed. Program benefits for TAA eligible recipients are expanded to include for the first time a health care tax credit, and eligible recipients now include secondarily affected workers impacted by foreign trade. Income support is extended by 26 weeks and by up to one year under certain conditions. Waivers of training requirements in order to receive income support are explicitly defined. Job search and relocation benefit amounts are increased. Within one year of enactment, the amendments offer an Alternative TAA Program for Older Workers that targets older worker groups at firms who are certified as TAA eligible and provides the option of a wage supplement instead of training, job search, and income support.

State agencies rely on the regulations to make determinations as to individual eligibility for TAA program benefits. TAA program regulations as written have been described as complicated to interpret. With the new TAA program benefit amendments contained in the Trade Act of 2002, it is imperative that the regulations be in an easy to read and understandable format.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the redesigned H-2B temporary nonagricultural program employers seeking to import H-2B workers, except for applications filed for employment on Guam or in logging, will file directly with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).  The employer will be required to conduct recruitment before filing its petition.  The petition will include a number of attestations concerning labor market and related issues.  DHS will administer the petition adjudication process.  After adjudication, the Department of Labor (DOL) will audit selected approved petitions.  In such audits, DOL will exclusively examine whether the employer has complied with those aspects of the approved petition related to the labor market and other related attestations.  Employers will be expected to have documentation available supporting their attestations as specified in the regulation and will be required to provide this supporting documentation to DOL within 30 days from notice of audit.  If, after completion of the audit, DOL determines that the employer has failed to comply with the terms of the attestations contained in the DHS petition or made material misrepresentations in its attestation, DOL will, after notice to the employer and opportunity for a hearing, recommend to DHS that the employer be debarred, for a period up to three years.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Indian and Native American Welfare-to-Work Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These are program regulations needed to implement the Indian and Native American set-aside under the Welfare-to-Work program authorized by section 412(a)(3) of the Social Security Act. 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 on the March 1, 1998 interim final rule, and none would substantively change the regulations. The Department will provide guidance in response to those comments. The March 1, 1998 interim final rule will be adopted as the final rule, subject to the changes made by the new interim final rule implementing the 1999 amendments.]]></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 and introduce performance measures and sanctions.]]></ABSTRACT>

Low-income seniors generally must continue working and many may not be able to find employment without work experience and additional training. The basic goals of the SCSEP are to provide community service employment for older workers with few skills and little work experience, and to move many of those seniors into unsubsidized employment. The Employment and Training Administration will issue regulations and other guidance, provide technical assistance, and establish performance standards that will drive State and national grantees' efforts towards the program's goals.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Thousands of individual account plans have, for a variety of reasons, been abandond by their sponsors, creating problems for plan participants, administrators, financial institutions (e.g., banks, insurance companies, mutual funds), the courts and the Federal government.  At present, the potential liability and costs attendant to terminating such plans and distributing the assets inhibits financial institutions and others from taking on this responsibility.  Due to on-going administrative costs and other factors, the continued maintenance of such plans is often not in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries.  This rulemaking will establish a procedure for a financial institution that holds the assets of such a plan to terminate the plan and distribute its assets to the participants and beneficiaries.  The rulemaking will also include standards for determining when plans may be terminated pursuant to this procedure and for carrying out the functions necessay to distribute benefits and shut down plan operation.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Section 403(d)(1) provides that, upon termination of such a plan, the assets shall be distributed generally in accordance with the provisions that apply to defined benefit plans, "except as otherwise provided in regulations of the Secretary."  ERISA section 3(16)(A) permits the Secretary to issue regulations designating an administrator for a plan where the plan document makes no designation and the plan sponsor cannot be identified.

        <RULE_TITLE>Mental Health Benefits Parity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 (MHPA) was enacted on September 26, 1996 (Pub. L. 104-204).  MHPA amended the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, to provide for parity in the application of certain mental health benefits with limits on medical surgical benefits.  These changes were subsequently added to the Internal Revenue Code (the Code).  MHPA provisions are set forth in chapter 100 of subtitle K of the Code, title XXVII of the PHS Act, and part 7 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA.  On December 2, 2002, President Bush signed H.R. 5716 (Pub. L. 107-313), the Mental Health Parity Reauthorization Act of 2002.  This legislation amended ERISA and the PHS Act to further extend MHPA's original sunset date to December 31, 2003 (the Code provisions already contained a sunset date of December 31, 2003).  As a result of this statutory amendment, and to assist employers, plan sponsors, health insurance issuers, and workers, the Department of Labor has amended the interim final regulations, in consultation with the Departments of the Treasury and Health and Human Services, conforming the regulatory sunset date to the current statutory sunset date of December 31, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 CFR 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>Davis Bacon Volunteers Under the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act </RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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 no 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination Obligations of Contractors and Subcontractors for Special Disabled Veterans and Veterans of the Vietnam Era</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OFCCP proposes to amend the regulations implementing the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) 38 USC 4212, to conform with the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002 (JFVA). JFVA amended VEVRAA in four ways. First, JFVA raised contract coverage from $25,000 to $100,000. Second, JFVA granted VEVRAA protection to a new group of veterans-those who, while serving on active duty in the Armed Forces, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985. Third, JFVA changed the definition of "recently separated veteran" to include "any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty." Fourth, JFVA changed "Special Disabled Veterans" to "Disabled Veterans," expanding the coverage to conform to 38 U.S.C. section 4211 (3). JFVA also superseded changes to VEVRAA from the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 (VEOA) and the Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000 (VBHCIA). This proposal revises these regulations to conform to the requirements of JFVA.]]></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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The FMLA requires covered employers to grant eligible employees up to 12 workweeks of unpaid, job-protected leave a year for specified family and medical reasons, and to maintain group health benefits during the leave as if the employees continued to work instead of taking leave. When an eligible employee returns from FMLA leave, the employer must restore the employee to the same or an equivalent job with equivalent pay, benefits, and other conditions of employment. FMLA makes it unlawful for an employer to interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of any right provided by the FMLA.

The FMLA regulations require employers to designate if an employee's use of leave is counting against the employee's FMLA leave entitlement, and to notify the employee of that designation (29 CFR section 825.208). Section 825.700(a) of the regulations provides that if an employee takes paid or unpaid leave and the employer does not designate the leave as FMLA leave, the leave taken does not count against the employee's 12 weeks of FMLA leave entitlement.

On March 19, 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Ragsdale v. Wolverine World Wide, Inc., 122 S. Ct. 1155 (2002). In that decision, the Court invalidated regulatory provisions pertaining to the effects of an employer's failure to timely designate leave that is taken by an employee as being covered by the FMLA. The Court ruled that 29 CFR section 825.700(a) was invalid absent evidence that the employer's failure to designate the leave as FMLA leave interfered with the employee's exercise of FMLA rights. This proposed rule is being prepared to address issues raised by this and other judicial decisions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) makes a covered employer liable for compensation to employees injured in the course of their work. An employer may satisfy this liability by contracting with a private insurance carrier. By statute, an insurance carrier must obtain authorization from the Secretary of Labor to insure compensation, and the Secretary may revoke authorization for good cause. This proposed regulation would require, as a condition to authorization to write LHWCA insurance, an insurance carrier in certain circumstances to establish that its potential LHWCA obligations are sufficiently secured. Obligations would be considered sufficiently secured if funds would be available to cover all workers' compensation claims in the event of adverse market conditions and the carrier's insolvency. A carrier could fully secure its obligations by posting security deposits with the Secretary. Carriers would not, however, be required to make this showing in states which have a guaranty fund that fully and immediately covers LHWCA claims in the event of a carrier's insolvency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.

The Department will also be considering what additional revisions to the hazardous occupation orders will be undertaken to address recommendations of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in its May 2002 report to the Department.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[These regulations are issued under sections 3(l), 11, 12, and 13 of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. sections 203(l), 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>

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>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 "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 6.5 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 19 to 26 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>

        <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. L. 106-313; Oct. 17, 2000), the Immigration and Nationality Act - Amendments (Pub. L. 106-311; Oct. 17, 2000), and section 401 of the Visa Waiver Permanent Program Act (Pub. L. 106-396; Oct. 30, 2000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Government Contractors: Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action Obligations, Executive Order 11246 (ESA/OFCCP) (Revised)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule 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 Veterans' 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>Obligation of Federal Contractors and Subcontractors, Notice of Employee Rights Concerning Payment of Union Dues or Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 2, 2002, the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia issued a decision in UAW-Labor Employment & Training Corp v. Chao, holding the Executive Order 13201 is invalid because it conflicts with the National Labor Relations Act. The court permanently enjoined the Department of Labor from implementing and enforcing Executive Order 13201. The decision was appealed. On April 22, 2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed the January 2, 2002, decision of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia in UAW-Labor Employment and Training Corp. v. Chao, and directed the lower court to grant summary judgment in favor of the Secretary of Labor.

This regulation would 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, would 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>

The proposed revisions will improve the transparency and accountability of labor organizations to their members, increase the information available to labor organization members, and make data disclosed in such reports more understandable and accessible. Among other things, unions filing the revised Form LM-2 will be required to report electronically (unless granted an exemption), to identify certain "major" receipts and disbursements, to allocate disbursements among categories such as representational activities, political activities and lobbying, and union administration, and to report receipts and disbursements of organizations that meet the statutory definition of a "trust in which a labor organization is interested" on a new Form T-1.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 12, 2002, President Bush issued Executive Order 13279 regarding faith-based and community organizations that, in part, amends Executive Order 11246. Section 4 of Executive Order 13279 amends section 204 of Executive Order 11246 by adding an exemption for religious entities. The final rule would make religious entities exempt from allegations of discrimination based on religion. OFCCP regulations at 41 CFR 60-1.5 will be amended to add the new religious entity exemption. The new exemption is limited to religious discrimination by religious entities. Religious entities will continue to be precluded from basing employment decisions on race, color, sex, or national origin.]]></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 (CrVI).  The Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers International Unions (OCAW) and Public Citizen's Health research Group (HRG) petitioned OSHA to promulgate an ETS to lower the PEL for CrVI compounds to 0.5 micrograms per cubic meter of air (ug/mg3) as an eight-hour, time-weighted average (TWA).  The current PEL in general industry is a ceiling value of 100 ug/m3, measured as CrVI and reported as chromic anhydride (CrO3).  The amount of CrVI in the anhydride compound equates to a PEL of 52 ug/m3.  The ceiling limit applies to all forms of CrVI, including chromic acid and chromates, lead chromate, and zinc chromate.  The current PEL of CrVI in the construction industry is 100 ug/m3 as a TWA PEL, which also equates to a 52 ug/m3.  After reviewing the petition, OSHA denied the request for an ETS and initiated a section 6(b)(5) rulemaking.  

OSHA began collecting data and performing preliminary analyses relevant to occupational exposure to CrVI.  However, in 1997, OSHA was sued by HRG for unreasonable delay in issuing a final CrVI standard.  The 3rd Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in OSHA's favor and the Agency continued its data collection and analytic efforts on CrVI.  In 2002, OSHA was sued again by HRG for continued unreasonable delay in issuing a final CrVI standard.  In August, 2002 OSHA published a Request for Information on CrVI to solicit additional information on key issues related to controlling exposures to CrVI and on December 4, 2002 OSHA announced its intent to proceed with developing a proposed standard.  On December 24, 2002, the 3rd Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeal ruled in favor of HRG and ordered the Agency to proceed expeditiously with a CrVI standard.  A subsequent order from the court on April 2, 2003 established an October 4, 2004 deadline for publication of a proposed standard and a January 18, 2006 deadline for publication of the final standard.

The major illnesses associated with occupational exposure to CrVI are lung cancer and dermatoses.  OSHA estimates that approximately one million workers are exposed to CrVI on a regular basis in all industries.  The major uses of CrVI are: as a structural and anticorrosive element in the production of stainless steel, ferrochromium, iron and steel, and in electroplating, welding and painting.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Approximately one million workers are exposed to CrVI in general industry, maritime, construction, and agriculture.  Industries or work processes that could be particularly affected by a standard for CrVI include:  Electroplating, welding, painting, chromate production, chromate pigment production, ferrochromium production, iron and steel production, chromium catalyst production, and chromium dioxide and sulfate production.  Exposure to CrVI has been shown to produce lung cancer, an often fatal disease, among workers exposed to CrVI compounds.  The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies CrVI compounds as a Group 1 Carcinogen: Agents considered to be carcinogenic in humans.   The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH) have also designated CrVI compounds as known and confirmed human carcinogens, respectively.  Similarly, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers CrVI compounds to be potential occupational carcinogens.    OSHA's current standards for CrVI compounds, adopted in 1971, were established to protect against nasal irritation.  Therefore, there is a need to revise the current standard to protect workers from lung cancer.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <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. OSHA intends to issue a proposed rule addressing this construction industry hazard next year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Crystalline Silica</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Crystalline silica is a significant component of the earth's crust, and many workers in a wide range of industries are exposed to it, usually in the form of respirable quartz or, less frequently, cristobalite. Chronic silicosis is a uniquely occupational disease resulting from exposure of employees over long periods of time (10 years or more). Exposure to high levels of respirable crystalline silica causes acute or accelerated forms of silicosis that are ultimately fatal. The current OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL) for general industry is based on a formula recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) in 1971 (PEL=10mg/cubic meter/(% silica + 2), as respirable dust). The current PEL for construction and maritime (derived from ACGIH's 1962 Threshold Limit Value) is based on particle counting technology, which is considered obsolete. NIOSH and ACGIH recommend a 50ug/m3 exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica.

Both industry and worker groups have recognized that a comprehensive standard for crystalline silica is needed to provide for exposure monitoring, medical surveillance, and worker training. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has published a recommended standard for addressing the hazards of crystalline silica. The Building Construction Trades Department of the AFL-CIO has also developed a recommended comprehensive program standard. These standards include provisions for methods of compliance, exposure monitoring, training, and medical surveillance.

In developing a proposed standard, OSHA is currently considering several options ranging from proposing comprehensive standards simultaneously for general industry, construction, and maritime, to focusing the proposal on one or more specific issues, such as modernizing the construction and maritime PELs or standardizing sampling and analytical methods to ensure that employers and employees are receiving reliable data on employee exposures. OSHA is continuing to coordinate closely with the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in collecting and developing information for a proposed standard.  The Advisory Committee for Construction Safety and Health has also formed a silica working group to assist the Agency in addressing construction-related issues during the development of the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Over two million workers are exposed to crystalline silica dust in general industry, construction and maritime industries. Industries that could be particularly affected by a standard for crystalline silica include: foundries, industries that have abrasive blasting operations, paint manufacture, glass and concrete product manufacture, brick making, china and pottery manufacture, manufacture of plumbing fixtures, and many construction activities including highway repair, masonry, concrete work, rock drilling, and tuckpointing. The seriousness of the health hazards associated with silica exposure is demonstrated by the fatalities and disabling illnesses that continue to occur; between 1990 and 1996, 200 to 300 deaths per year are known to have occurred where silicosis was identified on death certificates as an underlying or contributing cause of death. It is likely that many more cases have occurred where silicosis went undetected. In addition, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has designated crystalline silica as a known human carcinogen. Exposure to crystalline silica has also been associated with an increased risk of developing tuberculosis and other nonmalignant respiratory diseases, as well as, renal and autoimmune respiratory diseases. Exposure studies and OSHA enforcement data indicate that some workers continue to be exposed to levels of crystalline silica far in excess of current exposure limits. Congress has included compensation of silicosis victims on Federal nuclear testing sites in the Energy Employees' Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000. There is a particular need for the Agency to modernize its exposure limits for construction and maritime, and to address some specific issues that will need to be resolved to propose a comprehensive standard.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The legal basis for the proposed rule is a preliminary determination that workers are exposed to a significant risk of silicosis and other serious disease and that rulemaking is needed to substantially reduce the risk. In addition, the proposed rule will recognize that the PELs for construction and maritime are outdated and need to be revised to reflect current sampling and analytical technologies.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Over the past several years, the Agency has attempted to address this problem through a variety of non-regulatory approaches, including initiation of a Special Emphasis Program on silica in October 1997, sponsorship with NIOSH and MSHA of the National Conference to Eliminate Silicosis, and dissemination of guidance information on its Web site. OSHA has determined that rulemaking is a necessary step to ensure that workers are protected from the hazards of crystalline silica. The Agency is currently evaluating several options for the scope of the rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Beryllium</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1999 and 2001, OSHA was petitioned to issue an emergency temporary standard by the Paper Allied-Industrial, Chemical, and Energy Workers Union, Public Citizen Health Research Group and others. The Agency denied the petitions but stated its intent to begin data gathering to collect needed information on beryllium's toxicity, risks, and patterns of usage.

On November 26, 2002, OSHA published a Request for Information (RFI) (67 FR 70707) to solicit information pertinent to occupational exposure to beryllium including: current exposures to beryllium; the relationship between exposure to beryllium and the development of adverse health effects; exposure assessment and monitoring methods; exposure control methods; and medical surveillance. In addition, the Agency conducted field surveys of selected work sites to assess current exposures and control methods being used to reduce employee exposures to beryllium. OSHA is using this infoprmation to develop a proposed rule addressing occupational exposure to beryllium.  OSHA plans to initiate the SBREFA process could be initiated by September 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ionizing Radiation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is considering amending 29 CFR 1910.1096 that addresses exposure to ionizing radiation. The OSHA regulations were published in 1974, with only minor revisions since that time. The Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission both have more extensive radiation standards that reflect new technological and safety advances. In addition, radiation is now used for a broader variety of purposes, including health care, food safety, mail processing, and baggage screening. OSHA is in the process of reviewing information about the issue, and will determine the appropriate course of action regarding this standard when the review is completed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. OSHA has continued to work with national and international organizations to gather additional information on the safety of VTLs. The Agency has published an NPRM to address safety issues related to VTLs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Working Conditions for Shipyard Employment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[During the 1980s, OSHA initiated a project to update and consolidate the various OSHA shipyard standards that were applied in the shipbuilding, ship repair, and shipbreaking industries. Publication of a proposal addressing general working conditions in shipyards is part of this project. The operations addressed in this rulemaking relate to general working conditions such as housekeeping, illumination, sanitation, first aid, and lockout/tagout. About 100,000 workers are potentially exposed to these hazards annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electric Power Transmission and Distribution; Electrical Protective Equipment</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 over 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. OSHA also 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. In addition, OSHA will be revising a few miscellaneous general industry requirements primarily affecting electric transmission and distribution work, including provisions on electrical protective equipment and foot protection. This rulemaking will also address fall protection in aerial lifts for power generation, transmission and distribution work. The SBREFA process has now been completed, and OSHA is making changes to the regulatory analysis based on that review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Walking Working Surfaces and Personal Fall Protection Systems (1910) (Slips, Trips, and Fall Prevention)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1990, OSHA proposed a rule (55 FR 13360) addressing slip, trip, and fall hazards and establishing requirements for personal fall protection systems. Since that time, new technologies and procedures have become available to protect employees from these hazards. The Agency has been working to update these rules to reflect current technology. OSHA published a notice to re-open the rulemaking for comment on a number of issues raised in the record for the NPRM, or related to technological advances. OSHA is currently reviewing the comments and the record will be reopened again for comment on the revised analysis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hearing Conservation Program for 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, no rule was promulgated to cover workers in the construction industry. A number of recent studies have shown that many construction workers experience work-related hearing loss. In addition, the use of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment to reduce exposures to noise is not extensive in this industry. OSHA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking 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. The Agency has reviewed the comments received and other information to determine the appropriate course of action.  In order to get additional public input, stakeholder meetings will be convened.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision and Update of Subpart S--Electrical Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is planning to revise and update its 29 CFR 1910 subpart S-Electrical Standards. OSHA will rely heavily on 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 the General Industry-Electrical Standard since it was originally published in 1981. OSHA intends to complete this project in several stages. The first stage will cover design safety standards for electrical systems, while the second stage will cover safety-related maintenance and work practice requirements and safety requirements for special equipment. 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Updating OSHA Standards Based on National Consensus Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 6(a) of the OSH Act, during the first two years of the Act, the Agency was directed to adopt national consensus standards as OSHA standards. Some of these standards were adopted as regulatory text, while others were incorporated by reference. In the thirty years since these standards were adopted by OSHA, the organizations responsible for these consensus standards have issued updated versions of these standards. However, in most cases, OSHA has not revised its regulations to reflect later editions of the consensus standards. OSHA standards also continue to incorporate by reference various consensus standards that are now outdated and, in some cases, out of print.

The Agency is now considering the possibility of initiating rulemaking to update some of these standards. In that regard, OSHA has asked various consensus standards organizations to review their standards, compare the latest versions of these standards to the ones currently adopted by OSHA, and determine which ones are most important for OSHA to update. Additionally, OSHA has asked them to consider whether the changes to these standards would be noncontroversial, and if the new versions would reduce risk. The organizations were enthusiastic about the possibility of updating references to their standards, and they have provided considerable information on priorities and other related issues. OSHA is in the process of evaluating the information it has received in order to determine the best way to proceed.  It is possible that a direct final rule may be appropriate to address some of these standards, and others may be more appropriately addressed by an NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is considering amending 29 CFR 1910.109 that addresses explosives and blasting agents. These OSHA regulations were published in 1974, and many of the provisions do not reflect technological and safety advances made by the industry since that time. Additionally, the standard contains outdated references and classifications. Two trade associations representing many of the employers subject to this rule have petitioned the Agency to consider revising it, and have recommended changes they believe address the concerns they are raising. OSHA is in the process of reviewing the petition and related information about the issue, and will determine the appropriate course of action regarding this standard when the review is completed.

        <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.

This rulemaking action will complete the 1998 standard, reduce compliance confusion among employers, and provide employees with consistent and appropriate respiratory protection.  On June 6, 2003, OSHA published an NPRM on Assigned Protection Factors in the Federal Register at 68 FR 34036 containing a proposed APF table, and requesting public comment.  The extended comment period ended October 2, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[About five 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>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The estimated compliance costs for OSHA's proposed APF rule are $4.6 million.  The APFs proposed in this rulemaking help to ensure that the benefits attributed to proper respiratory protection under 29 CFR 1910.134 are achieved, as well as provide an additional degree of protection.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <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 has been made for the APF rulemaking, since it only addresses a single provision of the larger rule.]]></RISKS>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>At the time of the revision of the 1972 standard, OSHA decided that because its proposed standard for occupational exposure to tuberculosis (TB), published three months earlier, included a comprehensive respiratory protection provision, the agency would allow compliance with the previous respirator standard for TB protection until completion of the TB rulemaking.  Thus, pending conclusion of the TB rulemaking, OSHA redesignated the old respiratory protection standard in a new section entitled &quot;Respiratory Protection for M. Tuberculosis.&quot;  Because OSHA has decided to withdraw its proposed TB standard, the agency is revoking the designated respiratory protection standard, and will begin applying the general industry respiratory protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134) to respiratory protection against TB.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on April 2, 1987 (52 FR 10586). OSHA used the information received in response to the ANPRM, as well as other information and analysis, and published a proposal on March 23, 1993 (58 FR 15526), that would reduce the permissible exposure limits for four glycol ethers and provide protection for approximately 46,000 workers exposed to these substances. OSHA re-opened the record to collect updated information to help determine what action should be taken. Based on the information received and a review of the record, the Agency has decided to withdraw the proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. 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.

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. OSHA reopened the record to obtain comment on the IOM study, the draft final risk assessment and the peer reviewers' comment on the risk assessment.

The Agency has decided to withdraw the proposal and terminate the rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fire Protection in Shipyard Employment (Part 1915, Subpart P) (Shipyards: Fire Safety)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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. A negotiated rulemaking committee was convened on October 15, 1996. Members of the committee included: OSHA, State government, Federal agency, small and large shipyard employers, and maritime and firefighter union representatives. The committee completed work in February 2002, and recommended proposal requirements to OSHA. The Agency has published an NPRM based on their recommendations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is proposing to remove or revise provisions in its health standards that are out of date, duplicative, unnecessary, or inconsistent. 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 and health standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Diving Operations: Revision</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 published a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the commercial diving operations standard to reflect the alternative specified in the permanent variance granted to Dixie Divers, Inc.  Comments have been received and reviewed, and a final rule is being issued.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Controlled Negative Pressure Fit Testing Protocol: Amendment 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). In the final revised respirator standard, OSHA set up a mechanism for OSHA's acceptance of new fit test protocols under Mandatory Appendix A. Any person may submit to OSHA an application for approval of a new fit test protocol, and if the application meets certain criteria, OSHA will initiate a rulemaking proceeding under 6(b)(7) of the OSH Act to determine whether to list the new protocol as an approved fit test protocol in Appendix A. OSHA has been petitioned to allow the use of a modified Controlled Negative Pressure (CNP) fit test protocol.

Employers, employees, and safety and health professionals use fit testing to select respirators. Currently OSHA relies on fit testing methods specified in Appendix A of the final revised Respiratory Protection standard.

When OSHA published the final Respiratory Protection standard in 1998, it allowed for later rulemaking on new fit test methods. This rulemaking action will allow for the incorporation of new fit test methods into 1910.134.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 cross-section of the industry has asked OSHA to update subpart N. OSHA has determined that the existing rule needs to be revised and has established a negotiated rulemaking committee to develop a draft proposed rule.]]></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), scheduled to become effective on January 1, 2002. Following a thorough regulatory review, the Agency determined that all but two provisions of the final rule, regarding the recording of occupational hearing (1904.10) and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) (1904.12), would take effect as scheduled (66 FR 35113, July 3, 2001). Following notice and comment, OSHA published a final rule delaying the effective dates for sections 1904.10, 1910.12 and a note to 1904.29(b)(7)(vi) until January 1, 2003. The same final rule provided interim guidance on recording hearing loss and MSD cases during 2002 (66 FR 52031, October 12, 2001). 

OSHA issued a final 1904.10 regulation setting recording criteria for occupational hearing loss (67 FR 44037, July 1, 2002), and simultaneously issued a proposal to delay the requirements for checking a separate hearing loss column on the 300 Log, as well as an additional one-year delay for the 1904.12 MSD requirements (67 FR 44124, July 1, 2002). The final rule on hearing loss and delay of the effective date was published in December of 2002. The final rule on MSD column was issued on June 30, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Current standards limit exposures to quartz (crystalline silica) in respirable dust.  The coal mining industry standard is based on the formula 10mg/m3 divided by the percentage of quartz where the quartz percent is 5.0 percent or greater calculated as an MRE equivalent concentration.  The metal and nonmetal mining industry standard is based on the 1973 American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values formula: 10 mg/m3 divided by the percentage of quartz plus 2.  Overexposure to crystalline silica can result in some miners developing silicosis which may ultimately be fatal.  Both formulas are designed to maintain exposures to 0.1 mg/m3 (100 ug) of silica.
The Secretary of Labor's Advisory Committee on the Elimination of Pneumoconiosis Among Coal Mine Workers made several recommendations related to reducing exposure to silica.  NIOSH and ACGIH recommend a 50ug/ m3 exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica.  MSHA is considering several options to reduce miners' exposure to crystalline silica.]]></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. 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 in 1976 for coal mining (41 FR 10223) and 1978 for metal and nonmetal mining (43 FR 54064). During 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 to an 8-hour time-weighted average limit of 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air and the excursion limit 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>
            <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 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. In early 2000, MSHA began an intensive sampling effort at operations with potential asbestos exposure.  These efforts continue. While sampling, MSHA staff discussed with 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 asbestosis, mesothelioma, and other forms of cancers.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>High-Voltage Continuous Mining Machine Standards for Underground Coal Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Our current standards require that high-voltage and transformers be kept at least 150 feet from coal extraction areas in underground coal mines.  These requirements are intended to eliminate an ignition source for methane and coal dust in close proximity to the work area.  The use of new mining technology, in the form of high-voltage continuous mining machines, is becoming more widespread in the mining industry.  This equipment uses high-voltage electrical equipment and associated cables.  Mine operators, however, must apply to MSHA for a petition for modification from the existing standards 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 its use.  The proposed rule would also include design approval requirements for high-voltage continuous mining machines operated in face areas of underground coal mines.]]></ABSTRACT>

Aside from minor modifications, part 18 has been largely un changed since it was promulgated in 1968.

        <RULE_TITLE>Underground Coal Mine Ventilation--Safety Standards for the Belt Entry as an Intake Air Course</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would give a coal mine operator the option of using air from a belt entry (belt air) in mines with three or more entries (parallel tunnels), as an intake air course to ventilate working sections and areas where mechanized mining equipment is being installed or removed. Current standards require belt air to be separated from intake and return air courses for mines opened after 1970, unless a mine operator is granted a petition for modification of a safety standard (30 CFR 75.350) as set forth in the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act (Mine Act) of 1977 section 101(c), 30 USC 811(c) (1998). For three or more entry mines, regardless of the date they were opened, the proposed rule would eliminate the need for mine operators to seek a petition for modification to use belt air and establish safety requirements for its use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Diesel Particulate Matter Exposure of Underground Metal and Nonmetal Miners</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 19, 2001, MSHA published a final rule addressing diesel particulate matter (DPM) exposure of underground metal and nonmetal miners (66 FR 5706). The final rule established new health standards for underground metal and nonmetal mines that use equipment powered by diesel engines. The rule establishes an interim concentration limit of 400 micrograms of total carbon per cubic meter of air that became applicable July 20, 2002, and a final concentration limit of 160 micrograms to become applicable after January 19, 2006. Industry challenged the rule and organized labor intervened in the litigation. Settlement negotiations with the litigants have resulted in further regulatory actions on several requirements of the rule. One final rule has been published (67 FR 9180). This new rulemaking will address the remaining issues. MSHA issued an ANPRM on September 25, 2002 to obtain additional information and to develop a proposed rule in 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[As a result of the first partial settlement with the litigants, MSHA published two documents in the Federal Register on July 5, 2001. One document delayed the effective date of 57.5066(b) regarding the tagging provisions of the maintenance standard; clarified the effective dates of certain provisions of the final rule; and gave correction amendments.

The second document was a proposed rule to clarify 57.5066(b)(1) and (b)(2) of the maintenance standards and to add a new paragraph (b)(3) to 57.5067 regarding the transfer of existing diesel equipment from one underground mine to another underground mine. The final rule on these issues was published February 27, 2002, and became effective March 29, 2002.

As a request of the second partial settlement agreement, MSHA also agreed to proposed specific changes to the 2001 DPM final rule. On September 25, 2002, MSHA published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) (67 FR 60199). In response to commenters, MSHA intends at this time to propose changes only to the interim DPM standard of 400 micrograms per cubic meter of air. In a separate rulemaking, the Agency will propose a rule to revise the final concentration limit of 160 micrograms per cubic meter of air pursuant to the DPM settlement agreement. The scope of both rulemakings is limited to the settlement agreement. The current rulemaking addresses the following provisions: 

  57.5060(a) - Propose to change the existing DPM surrogate from total carbon to elemental carbon; propose that a single personal sample of miner's exposure would be an adequate basis for MSHA compliance determinations; and propose the current hierarchy of controls that MSHA applies in its existing metal and nonmetal exposure based health standards for abating violations.

  57.5060(c) - Propose to adapt to the interim limit the existing provision that allows mine operators to apply to the Secretary for additional time to come into compliance with the final concentration limit. MSHA also agreed to propose to include consideration of economic feasibility, and to allow for annual renewals of such special extensions.

  57.5060(d) - This existing provision permits miners to engage in certain activities in concentrations exceeding the interim and final limits upon application and approval from the Secretary. MSHA asked commenters if this provision should be removed since the Agency agreed to propose the existing hierarchy of controls.

            <RISKS><![CDATA[Several epidemiological studies have found that exposure to diesel exhaust presents potential health risk to the miners. These potential adverse health effects range from headaches and nausea to respiratory disease and cancer. In the confined space of the underground mining environment, occupational exposure to diesel exhaust may present a greater hazard due to ventilation limitations and the presence of other airborne contaminants, such as toxic mine dusts or mine gases. We believe that the health evidence forms a reasonable basis for reducing miners' exposure to diesel particulate matter. Proceeding with rulemaking on the provisions discussed above will more effectively reduce miners exposure to DPM.]]></RISKS>

        <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. 
In response to comments received on the July 2000 proposed rule for MSHA to withdraw the rule, MSHA published a new proposed rule on March 6, 2003. The proposed rule would have required mine operators to verify, through sampling, the effectiveness of the dust control parameters for each mechanized mining unit specified in the approved mine ventilation plan.

The use of approved powered air-purifying respirators and/or verifiable administrative controls would have been allowed as a supplemental means of compliance when MSHA had determined that all feasible engineering or environmental controls were exhausted.

Public hearings were held in May 2003, and the rulemaking record originally scheduled to close on June 4, 2003, was extended until July 3, 2003.  On June 24, 2003, MSHA announced that all work on the final rule would cease and the rulemaking record would remain open in order to obtain information concerning PDMs being tested by NIOSH.  A Federal Register notice was published on July 3, 2003, extending the comment period indefinitely.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Determination of Concentration of Respirable Coal Mine Dust</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the Mine Safety and Health Administration jointly proposed that a single, full-shift measurement (single sample) will accurately represent the atmospheric condition to which a miner is exposed.  The proposed rule addresses the U.S. Court of Appeals' concerns raised in National Mining Association v. Secretary of Labor, 153 3d 1264 (11th Cir. 1998).  MSHA and NIOSH reopened the rulemaking record on March 6, 2003, to obtain comments on documents added to the rulemaking record since the proposed rule was published July 7, 2000.  Public hearings were held in May 2003 and the rulemaking record, originally scheduled to close on June 4, 2003, was extended until July 3, 2003. However, on June 24, 2003, MSHA announced that all work on the final rule would cease.  On August 12, 2003, the Agencies reopened the rulemaking record and extended the comment period indefinitely.  MSHA will be collaborating with NIOSH, miners' representatives, industry and the manufacturer in the in-mine testing of production prototype Personal Dust Monitors (PDMs) units.  The results of the collaborative effort will guide the Agency in determining the functionality of these real-time dust monitoring devices and need for revisions to the coal respirable dust monitoring requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule contains modifications to MSHA's existing product approval requirements for use of products in gassy underground mines. MSHA currently issues product approvals from MSHA's Approval and Certification Center after MSHA tests and evaluates the products based on regulations in 30 CFR parts 7 through 36. The proposed rule would establish alternative requirements for the testing and evaluation of products for MSHA approval. It would permit manufacturers who seek MSHA product approval to use an independent laboratory to perform the necessary product testing and evaluation in lieu of it being performed by MSHA. It also would allow MSHA product approval to be based on equivalent non-MSHA product safety standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Evacuation; Emergency Temporary Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) issued an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), section 101(b) in response to the grave danger that underground coal miners are exposed to during mine fires, explosions, and gas or water inundation emergencies. The deaths of 14 miners at two underground coal mines demonstrated the need for MSHA to address proper training and mine emergency evacuation procedures. Under the Mine Act, the ETS, which became effective on December 12, 2002, acts as a proposed rule. MSHA conducted public hearings and accepted written comments on the proposed rule. The Mine Act requires that the Secretary promulgate a final rule no later than 9 months after publication of the ETS as provided for under section 101(b) of the Mine Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) was signed into law by President Clinton on August 7, 1998. 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. The reauthorization of WIA is currently under consideration by the Congress. It may include amendments to the nondiscrimination provisions contained in section 188 that would directly impact these regulations. A final rule will be issued after congressional action on the reauthorization of WIA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed regulatory action implements the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (the Act). The Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance. The Age Act also contains specific exceptions that permit the use of certain age distinctions and factors other than age that meet the Age Act's requirements. This NPRM will be the third republication of an NPRM published on June 10, 2002, with updates to reflect the passage of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and to add the term "program or activity" as it is defined in the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987. These changes do not alter the substance of the NPRM.]]></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 the 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal would incorporate into 29 CFR parts 31 and 32 the term "program or activity" and the definition of that term as it was defined in the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987.  Part 31 effectuates title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs or activities that receive financial assistance from the Department of Labor.  Part 32 implements section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs or activities that receive financial assistance from the Department of Labor.  The publication of this rule is being coordinated by the Department of Justice and will be published as part of a Governmentwide issuance.]]></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 Secretary's commitment to protecting the employment rights of servicemembers as they return to the civilian work force is reflected by the initiative to promulgate regulations implementing the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA).  USERRA provides employment and reemployment protections for members of the uniformed services, including veterans and members of the Reserve and National Guard.  The Department has not previously issued implementing regulations under USERRA, albeit the law dates back to 1994.  Authoritative written guidance interpreting USERRA will ensure that our servicemembers serve secure in the knowledge that they will be able to return to their jobs with the same pay, benefits, and status they would have attained had they not been away on military duty.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA), 38 U.S.C. 4301-4333, provides employment and reemployment rights for members of the uniformed services, including veterans and members of the Reserve and National Guard.  Under USERRA, service members who leave their civilian jobs for military service can perform their duties with the knowledge that they will be able to return to their jobs with the same pay, benefits, and status they would have attained had they not been away on duty.  USERRA also assures that they will not suffer discrimination in employment because of their military service.  

The Department has not issued implementing regulations under USERRA.  In the absence of regulations, VETS has engaged in significant compliance assistance efforts, including a Non-Technical Resource Guide to USERRA, briefings for service members and employers, a web-based elaws Advisor and other web-based aids such as FAQs, a toll-free help line for basic USERRA questions, and informal email responses to electronic inquiries.  VETS has also issued about 40 memoranda interpreting issues that have arisen under USERRA.  In addition, VETS has prepared a draft USERRA Handbook as part of its compliance assistance efforts.  A copy of the draft Handbook is attached.

Approximately 300,000 members of the National Guard and Reserve have been called up since the President's declaration of a national emergency following the attacks of September 11, 2001.  As service members conclude their tours of duty and return to civilian employment, it is important for employers to recognize that USERRA requires that returning veterans receive many important benefits of employment that they would have attained had they been continuously employed.  It is also important for service members to know what their rights and responsibilities are under the law, and how the Department can assist them in enforcing these rights.

In the past year, the Department has experienced a tremendous increase in the number of inquiries from employers and members of the Reserves.  The Department has responded to over 9,500 requests for technical assistance, and has provided USERRA briefings to nearly 50,000 persons, including members of the National Guard, Reserve and employer groups.  These numbers are conservative, as not all instances of technical assistance have been documented.  The volume of technical assistance requests indicates a strong public interest in authoritative written guidance from the Department.  The complexity of the issues raised demonstrates the value of such guidance.

Another consideration is the possibility of the call to active duty of a large number of additional National Guard and Reserve members.  The ongoing war on terrorism is widely expected to last for a significant period of time.  Persons currently mobilized are serving for much longer periods of time than those who served in Desert Storm, thereby causing greater concerns among the Reserve and employer communities.  Any escalation of the use of National Guard and Reserve personnel will cause a corresponding increase in the need for USERRA information among Reservists, employers and the public.  Authoritative written USERRA guidance will ensure that the capability of VETS' staff to respond promptly is not exceeded and that the information provided is uniform and correct.
  
The high volume of requests for technical assistance received by the Department since September 2001 indicates that there is a significant need for authoritative USERRA guidance.  USERRA regulations would provide authoritative guidance by codifying the Department's interpretations of the law and the Department's procedures for enforcing the law.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002: State Grant Funding Formula FY 2005</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 107-288, the Jobs for Veterans Act, enacted November 7, 2002 requires establishment of a new grant allocation formula for Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) and Local Veterans Employment Representative (LVER) that reflects the ratio of the total number of veterans seeking employment residing in the state to the total number of veterans seeking employment in all states.  Congress allowed for the phasing-in of this funding formula requirement "over the three fiscal-year period" beginning October 1, 2002.  Because funding for fiscal year 2003 had already been established before enactment of the law, this effectively meant the phase-in of this new funding formula would actually take place over a two-year period -- fiscal years 2004 and 2005. To help minimize states' annual funding reductions, allocations will be limited to no more than eighty percent of the prior year's funding allocation, during the two-year phase-in period and ninety percent, after the funding formula is fully implemented.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002: Contract Threshold and Eligibility Groups for Federal Contractor Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) is proposing to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to implement changes required by the Jobs For Veterans Act (JFVA) of 2002. This act amended the Vietnam Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended (VEVRAA), by revising the reporting threshold from $25,000 to $100,000. JFVA also eliminated the collection categories of special disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era and added the new collection categories of disabled veterans and armed forces expeditionary medal veterans. JFVA continues the collection for the recently separated veterans category, but changed the definition for that category to include any veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military ground, naval, or air service during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty. Additionally, Federal contractors and subcontractors will be required to report the total number of all current employees in each of the nine categories and for each hiring location. This proposal will assist VETS in meeting the statutory requirement of annually collecting the VETS-100 Report.
PL 107-288 also requires VETS to establish in regulations a uniform national threshold entered employment rate for veterans receiving service through the public labor exchange.  States will be gauged against a national entered employment rate threshold measured considering the state's unemployment rate and the states economic condition.  This proposed rule will assist in determining performance deficiencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Jobs for Veterans Act requires the Department to establish and phase-in a new funding formula for Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) and Local Veterans Employment Representatives (LVER) grants to states over a three-year period beginning October 1, 2002.  Because funding for fiscal year 2003 had already been established before enactment of the law, this effectively meant the phase-in of this new funding formual would actually take place over a two-year period -- fiscal years 2004 and 2005. The interim final rule applies only to fiscal year 2004. This new formual is based on the ratio of the total number of veterans seeking employment residing in a State to the total number of veterans seeking employment in all States.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Act helps protect certain immigrant visa applicants from being denied immigration benefits due to their reaching the age of 21 and because of delays in legacy INS petition approval and adjustment processing.  If an alien is eligible for relief after reaching age 21, his/her age is frozen throughout the pendency of his/her case.  The rule sets forth the special formulas for calculating an alien's age for immigrant visa processing purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

Pursuant to section 303 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, on and after October 26, 2004, the Secretary of State will issue to aliens only machine-readable, tamper-resistant visas and travel and entry documents that use biometric identifiers.  Fingerprints will be taken for the purpose of establishing a pilot program for meeting the biometric requirement.  22 CFR 41.105 authorizes consular officers to fingerprint visa applicants if the officer considers that necessary for the purposes of investigation or identification.]]></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>

        <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 data bases; 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 an NPRM. This action is significant due to substantial public and industry interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Computer Reservations System Regulations Comprehensive Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department has regulated 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 in response to greater use of the Internet in airline reservations and ticketing and changes in the industry.  The Department is also reviewing its policies on the requirements for disclosing fares and travel agency service fees by travel agencies.  The Department has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that tentatively concluded that most of the rules should be readopted, possibly with changes, for comment on other options, including terminating most or all of the rules.  As part of this action, we are looking at ways to lessen impacts on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Department's existing rules require the Department to reexamine whether the rules are necessary and effective.  In addition, two developments since the Department's last review of rules necessitate a reexamination.  Those developments are the growing role of the Internet in airline distribution and the decline in airline control of the systems.  A number of airlines obtain a large share of their bookings from their own Web sites, online travel agencies account for a significant share of all airline bookings, and no system operating in the United States is controlled by any U.S. airline.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Department has the authority under 49 U.S.C. 41712 to prohibit unfair and deceptive practices and unfair methods of competition in the sale of air transportation by airlines and ticket agents. The Department accordingly may prohibit conduct by airlines and ticket agents that is likely to cause deception or violate the antitrust laws or antitrust principles. The original CRS rules were affirmed in United Air Lines v. CAB, 766 F.2d 1107 (7th Cir. 1985).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Department will consider alternatives ranging from allowing some or all of the rules to expire at their sunset date to readopting the rules with some additional provisions.  The Department has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking asking for comment on whether the Department should readopt most of the existing rules, except the rules prohibiting systems from charging airlines discriminatory fees and the rule requiring airlines with a system ownership interest to sell their services through competing systems.   The Department also asked for comment on whether the rules should be phased out or eliminated, and on whether the rules should be strengthened in several respects.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Department included a preliminary regulatory evaluation in its notice of proposed rulemaking.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The Department found in its last overall review of the rules that the systems had the ability and potential incentives to engage in conduct that could prejudice airline competition and cause consumers and their travel agents to receive misleading and inaccurate information on airline services.  Systems had also been able to engage in practices that would deny airlines and travel agencies a reasonable opportunity to use alternative electronic services that would provide information and booking capabilities.  The rules could also impose excessive costs on the systems and airlines.  The Department asked for comment on whether the risks still exist in light of on-going industry developments and, if so, whether the costs imposed by the rules outweigh the benefits provided by the rules.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action implements changes to OMB Circular A-110 that were issued by OMB on October 8, 1999, providing uniform guidance for administering grants to institutions of higher education, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations. The change provides guidance on making data produced under awards available to the public. The regulation is essentially a word-for-word issuance of the requirements in OMB Circular A-110. An interim final rule was issued because of the limited ability to change the requirements from those in the circular.  We are awaiting OMB instructions regarding whether there will be any Governmentwide changes to the final rule.]]></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.

On September 8, 2000, DOT issued a second SNPRM seeking comments on an airport concessions subpart to part 26.  The SNPRM took into account comments on the May 1997 SNPRM, adapted provisions of the rest of part 26 to the concessions context, and proposed options for provisions affecting car rental operations at airports.  These options were based in part on a 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.

This rule would respond to comments on the September 8, 2000, SNPRM and establish a revised 49 CFR part 23.]]></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 not all carriers 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>

This action would assist the Department of Transportation in meeting its mandated small business contracts and subcontract goals, foster the establishment of long-term business relationships between these entities and prime contractors, and increase the overall number of these entities that receive DOT contract and subcontract consideration and awards.]]></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 Americans with Disabilities Act (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>Overbooking of Flights: Elimination of Airport Notice Signs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Due to significant growth of electronic ticketing in the period since this proposal was issued, the Department cannot rely to the same extent on advance distribution of the Oversales ticket notice.  Consequently, we are not prepared to eliminate the requirement for an Oversales airport sign without further review of the matter.  Accordingly, the proposal will be withdrawn.  This action would eliminate a consumer notice about airline overbooking of flights that is required to appear on signs at airports, city ticket offices, and travel agencies. However, that information would be available to consumers because it must accompany every ticket.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends 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 regulation would incorporate the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into title VI, section 504, and the Age Discrimination Act regulations.  This  regulation would also promote consistency and enforceability of these statutes.  This is a joint rulemaking with other Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

Over the past decade the number of these operations and the number of accidents and incidents associated with these operations have increased. Hot air balloons and gliders would not be included in this amendment. This rulemaking is considered 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. This action is considered significant because of safety implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

The FAA, the European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), and representatives from the United States and European propeller-driven small airplane industries developed the ICAO Annex 16 noise limit change in a joint effort.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rulemaking would create an Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) Program that would incorporate all organization designee rules within 14 CFR 183.  It will expand the approval functions of FAA organization designees, standardize these functions to increase efficiency, and expand eligibility for organization designees, including organizations not eligible under the current rules.  These actions would provide the FAA with a more efficient process to delegate certain tasks to external organizations while preserving and increasing aviation safety in an environment where the government is committed to reducing its workforce.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Cockpit Voice Recorder and Digital Flight Data Recorder Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to amend the cockpit voice recorder and digital flight data recorder regulations for certain air carriers, operators, and aircraft manufacturers.  This proposal is based on recommendations issued by the National Transportation Safety Board following the investigations of several accidents and incidents, and includes other revisions that the FAA has determined are necessary. This proposal would require that all newly manufactured airplanes have CVR installed that receives its electrical power from the bus that provides the maximum reliability for operation of the cockpit voice recorder without jeopardizing service to essential or emergency loads. This same language is in the proposed certification rules for the CVR and DFDR installations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Stage 4 Aircraft Noise Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA is proposing a new noise standard for subsonic jet airplanes and subsonic transport category large airplanes.  This noise standard would ensure that the latest available noise reduction technology is incorporated into new aircraft designs.  This noise standard, Stage 4, would apply to any person submitting an application for a new airplane type design on and after January 1, 2003.  The standard could be chosen voluntarily prior to that date.  This noise standard is intended to provide uniform noise certification standards for Stage 4 airplanes certificated in the United States and those airplanes that meet the new Internation Civil Aviation Organization Annex 16 Chapter 4 noise standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA proposes to require incorporation of a program to preclude widespread fatigue damage into the FAA-approved maintenance program of each operator of large transport category airplanes.  This action is the result of concern for the continued operational safety of airplanes that are approaching or have exceeded their design service goal.  This proposed rulemaking would require a limit of validity in flight cycles or hours of the structural maintenance program, where the operator must incorporate added inspections and/or modification/replacement actions into its maintenance program to allow continued operation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>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>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.  The FAA is also looking at nonregulatory alternatives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to revise the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes relating to flight attendant assist space, flight attendant assist handles, door hold open features, outside viewing means, interior compartment doors, and portable oxygen equipment. With one exception, these proposals are not the result of any specific incident or recommendation, but are part of the FAA's continuing effort to upgrade the regulations to improve the overall level of safety in areas where the state-of-the-art and good design practice have indicated that such upgrades are warranted. These proposals would result in both new type design regulations as well as requirements applicable to existing designs implemented via the operating rules.]]></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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Noise Certification Regulations for Helicopters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal is based on a joint effort by the FAA, the European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), and the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) to harmonize the U.S. noise certification regulations and the European Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR) for helicopters.  The proposed changes would provide nearly uniform noise certification standards for helicopters certificated in the U.S., the JAA countries, and other countries that have adopted as their national regulation either the U.S. regulations, the JAA regulations, or the International Civil Aviation Organization standards.  The harmonization of the noise certification standards would simplify airworthiness approvals for import and export purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA is creating a new rule for the manufacture, certification, operation, and maintenance of light-sport aircraft.  Light-sport aircraft weigh less than 1320 pounds and are heavier and faster than ultralight vehicles and include airplanes, gliders, balloons, powered parachutes, weight-shift-control aircraft, and gyroplanes.  This action is necessary to address advances in sport and recreational aviation technology, gaps in the existing regulations, several petitions for rulemaking, and petitions for exemptions from existing regulations.  The intended effect of this action is to provide for the manufacture of safe and economical certificated aircraft that exceed the limits currently allowed by ultralight regulation, and to allow operations of these aircraft by certificated pilots for sport and recreation to carry a passenger, and to conduct flight training and towing in a safe manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal would amend the instrument and equipment requirements for airplanes operated in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations.  Specifically, the FAA proposes to require affected airplanes to be equipped with provisions that would help assure immediate activation of the designated air traffic control (ATC) hijack alert code, and continuous transmission of that code to ATC during the hijack situation.  The FAA is proposing this action in response to the heightened threat to U.S. civil action.  This action is significant because of substantial public safety interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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--550. 10/00/2003 to 10/00/2004.]]></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--3,300. 10/00/2003 - 10/00/2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

This notice also announced new procedures for processing major repair and alteration forms which pertain to fuel system modifications. Actions announced in this notice respond to the FAA Drug Enforcement Assistance Act of 1988. The requirements and adopted procedures are intended to assist law enforcement agencies in their efforts to stop drug trafficking in general aviation aircraft. This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public interest. The FAA currently is seeking modifications to the Act.]]></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 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>

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.

        <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>Training in the Recognition of Hazardous Material</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is amending its hazardous materials (hazmat) training requirements for air carriers and commercial operators certificated to operate under part 121 or part 135.  In addition, the FAA is requiring that repair stations certificated under part 145 document for the FAA that persons handling hazmat for transportation have been trained as required by the Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Regulation (HMRs). The FAA is updating its regulations because hazmat transport and the aviation industry have changed significantly since the FAA promulgated its hazmat training regulations over 25 years ago.  The rule will set clear training standards and ensure uniform compliance with training requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 have been included in more recent actions dealing with the specific sections of the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Improved Water Survival Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would have added new requirements for water survival equipment carried aboard airplanes and rotorcraft. The requirements would have applied, 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.  This rulemaking will be withdrawn.  Cost and unresolved issues concerning lap-help children are preventing the rulemaking from moving forward.]]></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. This rulemaking will be withdrawn.  This rulemaking will be incorporated in a rulemaking revision of part 21.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This statement would provide 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.  FAA plans to withdraw this policy because it is no longer relevant.]]></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>

        <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, 2003. This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

Current regulations do not adequately define fractional ownership programs nor clearly allocate responsibility and authority for safety and compliance with the regulations.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FAA plans to withdraw this action because of the lack of funding.  The rule would provide procedures for certain operators to apply for reimbursement of allowable costs incurred to comply with certain security requirements imposed by the FAA or Transportation Security Administration on or after September 11, 2001.  These procedures are needed to inform airport operations, on-airport parking lots, and vendors of on-airfield direct services to air carriers how to apply for reimbursement of allowable costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flight Crew Compartment Access and Door Designs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action supersedes Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 92-4, which was published on March 19, 2002, to allow operators to quickly modify the flightcrew compartment door to delay or deter unauthorized entry to the flightcrew compartment.  It temporarily authorizes variances from existing design standards for the doors and certain operational rules associated with the modifications; allows for approval for return to service of modified airplanes without prior approved data if the modification constitutes a major alteration; and prohibits the possession of flightdeck compartment door keys by other than the flightcrew during flight, unless the flightdeck door has an internal flightdeck locking devise installed, operative, and in use.  This action also extends regulatory relief for all-cargo transport category airplanes and a limited number of passenger airplanes beyond April 9, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA is proposing to amend its regulation outlining the highway bridge replacement and rehabilitation program (HBRRP).  The HBRRP was established in accordance with section 124 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95-599, 92 Stat. 2689).  It was established to assist the States in the replacement and rehabilitation of bridges declared unsafe because of structural deficiencies, physical deterioration, or functional obsolescence.

This regulation has not been revised since it was issued in 1979.  The FHWA proposes changes to this regulation to better meet the needs of the State and local governments, while simultaneously meeting the national goals of improving the condition of the nation's bridges.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Bridge Inspection Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA is proposing to amend and update its regulation on National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS).  The FHWA asked in an ANPRM 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.  Based on the comments received to the ANPRM, the FHWA will propose a revision of its regulation on the NBIS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA is proposing to update general policies and make needed changes to the regulations implementing the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Uniform Act).  Except for minor adjustments, this regulation has not been revised or updated in 15 years and the FHWA has received numerous requests from Federal and State agencies to update the regulation.  The FHWA proposes these changes that will assist individuals and businesses that are relocated as a result of a Federal or Federal-aid project.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 406(a) of the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1993, requires the Secretary of Transportation to revise the MUTCD to include a standard for a minimum level of retroreflectivity that must be maintained for traffic signs.
The FHWA is interested in establishing standards for nighttime visibility of traffic signs.  The FHWA will develop these standards by considering the results of research, engineering practices and comments received in response to this notice of proposed amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Truck Size and Weight, Route Designations; Length, Width, and Weight Limitations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA seeks public comment in response to issues raised in a separate proposed rulemaking that sought public comment on possible changes to current Federal motor carrier size and weight regulations.  The FHWA issued an NPRM entitled "Commercial Vehicle Width Exclusive Devices," on July 29, 2002 at 67 FR 48994.  The NPRM's proposed changes dealt with devices, attached to the side of commercial motor vehicles for safety or efficiency purposes, that are now allowed a 3-inch exclusion whenever the width of a commercial motor vehicle is checked for compliance with Federal commercial vehicle width limitations.  In response to a suggestion that the United States harmonize its width exclusion provision with those maintained by Canada and Mexico, the FHWA proposed that the current U.S. exclusion limit be increased from 3 to 4 inches.

Some respondents to the NPRM raised safety concerns about the 1-inch increase and the lack of information presented by the FHWA on possible consequences.  This SNPRM, therefore, is seeking public input from domestic and foreign sources for information from studies or other sources, of the results of similar increases in width exclusion on highway safety.  Evidence provided from this SNPRM will help the FHWA more definitively determine if the proposed 1-inch increase would have a significant, detrimental effect on highway safety, or if the increase should be pursued in the name of NAFTA harmonization.]]></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 related NPRMs, the FHWA sought 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 was 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Lands Highway Program; Management Systems Pertaining to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Including the Indian Reservations Road 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.  Eight organizations provided comments on the ANPRM pertaining to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the Indian reservation roads program.  The comments generally supported the development of a separate rule for each agency including one for the BIA. 

In related NPRMs, the FHWA sought 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 BIA.  The NPRM was 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Vehicle Width Exclusive Devices</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 rulemaking would increase from 3 to 4 inches 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.

This rulemaking would make these two changes to its regulation governing truck length and width exclusive devices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Work Zone Mobility and Safety</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA proposes 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 would further enhance the work zone safety initiative by expanding its focus to include both safety and mobility. The proposed action would 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 adopts as final the interim final rule issued in 1997.  The interim final rule 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[The FHWA adopts as final the interim final rule that 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Indian Reservation Road Bridge Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA adopts as final the interim final rule that implemented the Indian Reservation Roads Bridge Program. Section 1115 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century established a nationwide priority program for improving deficient Indian reservation road (IRR) bridges and reserved $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), implemented 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, developed project selection/fund allocation procedures for uniform application of the legislation.]]></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 withdraws this proposed rulemaking that proposed 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. However a de facto standard has emerged within the industry. Therefore, we withdraw this rulemaking action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices contains the Standards, Guidance, and Options for installing all traffic control devices (signs, traffic signals, and pavement markings) on the nation's roadways opened to public travel.  By following the manual drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists encounter the same uniform signs, traffic signals, and pavement markings, used in identical ways, along their trip.  As a result of changes in technology, materials, and management strategies, the devices in the manual and their uses need to be updated and amended on an annual basis.  

This amendment is in keeping with the Secretary of Transportation's authority under 23 U.S.C. 109(d), 315, and 402(a) to promulgate uniform guidelines to promote the safe and efficient use of highways.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA at the time 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: Screening drivers before permitting them to initially drive a CMV without having obtained a full CDL; the length of time a State allows the driver to hold a learner's permit; procedures for drivers to obtain CDL training in a State other than their normal residency; supervision requirements for learner permit drivers; and commercial driver license information systems (CDLIS) recordkeeping requirements.]]></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 agency (then the FHWA) requested comments on the need, if any, to amend the driver qualification requirements relating to the vision standard.  A temporary waiver program was initiated and was concluded on March 31, 1996, to permit the agency to observe and collect data on the driving experience of a group of vision-deficient drivers who meet certain preconditions. The agency 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 on June 5, 1996.  The agency entered into a contract with a medical center to develop medically based recommendations for amending the current Federal vision requirements. Recommendations were delivered in October 1998.  The FMCSA, after evaluating and considering these recommendations, has decided to publish an NPRM to amend its regulation governing the visual field requirement in the vision standard.  This action is significant because of substantial public and congressional interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Qualification Requirements as  Part of the Commercial Driver&apos;s License (CDL) Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would propose to verify a driver's medical qualification to operate a CMV as part of the CDL process.  Incorporating medical qualification verification and documentation into State-administered CDL procedures would  improve highway safety by preventing medically-unqualified individuals from obtaining a CDL.  This action would also eliminate the requirement for CDL operators to carry their medical certificate in addition to their CDL.  This rulemaking  responds to section 215 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999, which directed the agency to initiate a rulemaking to make the medical qualification certificate a part of the CDL process.  This action is considered significant because of substantial public interest and safety implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hours of Service of Drivers; Supporting Documents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA would propose amending the hours-of-service recordkeeping requirements to clarify that the duty of motor carriers is to verify the accuracy of drivers' hours of service (HOS) and records of duty status (RODS) including automatic on-board records, and that the driver's duty is to collect and submit to the motor carrier all supporting documents with the RODS.  The agency would also propose to require carriers to maintain supporting documents with the RODS.  The agency would propose that a supporting document based self-monitoring system be the primary method for ensuring compliance with the HOS regulations.  Recognizing developing technologies, FMCSA would propose to permit use of electronic documents as a supplement to, and in certain instances in lieu of, paper supporting documents.  These proposals would be intended to clarify definitions of "supporting documents," "employee," and "driver," and to clarify the current requirement that each motor carrier use a self-monitoring system to verify accuracy of the HOS and RODS including automatic on-board records.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA proposes to update the safety fitness rating methodology (SFRM), which is used to measure the safety fitness of motor carriers against the safety standard, as outlined in appendix B to the Safety Fitness Procedures regulations.  It is necessary to amend the list of acute and critical regulations because the agency has established operating procedures and issued several regulations required by the ICC Termination Act of 1995, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, and the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Hazardous Materials Safety Permits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposes to establish a safety permit program for motor carriers transporting hazardous materials, such as:  Class A or B explosives, liquefied natural gases, hazardous materials designated as extremely toxic by inhalation, and highway route controlled quantity radioactive materials.  It also proposes to consider additional acute and critical regulations relevant to determination of a carrier's safety fitness rating and the issuance of a safety permit.  In addition, it proposes regulations requiring pre-trip inspection and certification of a motor vehicle used to transport a highway route controlled quantity of a radioactive material.  This action is considered significant because it involves safety implications and substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules of Practice for Motor Carrier Proceedings; Investigations; Disqualifications and Penalties</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA proposed amending 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. FMCSA would also propose 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 program changes. The rules would apply to all motor carriers, other business entities and individuals involved in motor carrier safety and hazardous materials administrative actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Performance History of New Drivers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Authorization Act of 1994, the FHWA proposed changes concerning what minimum safety performance history information new or prospective employers would be required to seek concerning commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers and from where that information should be obtained.  The Small Business Administration (SBA) requested more in-depth Paperwork Reduction Act and Regulatory Flexibility Act analyses of the NPRM. In response to SBA's comments to the docket and section 4014 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), FMCSA published an SNPRM to address issues, such as small business burden, and to incorporate new requirements of limitation of liability and driver privacy protections imposed by TEA-21.  The proposed changes are considered significant because of substantial public interest and privacy implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation of Household Goods; Consumer Protection Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA is amending the regulations governing the interstate transportation of household goods to specify how motor carriers who transport household goods, as defined in 49 USC 13102(10), must assist their individual customers who ship household goods.  The intended effect of this interim final rule is to make the regulations easier to read and understand, remove an outdated report, address hostage freight problems (situations where nonbinding 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, and make conforming and technical amendments.  This action is considered significant because of substantial industry and public interest.]]></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 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 agency (then the FHWA) 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA was considering making the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) apply to all interstate school transportation operations by local educational agencies.  Section 4024 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) directed the FMCSA to make a determination whether to make the FMCSRs applicable to such operations.  FMCSA requested comments, data, and information to assist the agency in making this determination.  The action was considered significant by the public and private sectors if the agency expanded the FMCSRs to cover government-operated school buses in interstate commerce.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA is amending part 393 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would require that any safety inspection, audit, or review be conducted by a certified investigator.  It would give the FMCSA authority to decertify an investigator, including a third-party investigator for failure to meet the prescribed certification standards.  It is required by section 211 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999.  This rule is significant because of public and congressional interest in rules required by MCSIA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification of Compliance With Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations so that motor carriers ensure that each commercial motor vehicle (CMV) they operate in interstate commerce displays a label certifying that the vehicle complies with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) in effect on the date of manufacture.  This rulemaking ensures that all motor carriers operating CMVs in the United States use only vehicles that were certified by the manufacturer as meeting all applicable Federal safety performance requirements.  This action is significant because of substantial public and congressional interest and safety implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA, working in conjunction with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), amended its regulations to prohibit States from issuing, renewing, transferring, or upgrading a commercial driver's license (CDL) with a hazardous materials endorsement unless TSA has first conducted a background records check of the applicant and determined that the applicant does not pose a security risk warranting denial of the hazardous materials endorsement.  FMCSA and TSA published simultaneous interim final rules.  This action is considered significant because of substantial industry and public interest and national security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Qualifications of Motor Carriers To Self-Insure Their Operations and Fees To Support the Approval and Compliance Process; Withdrawal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA is withdrawing an NPRM that requested comments on the need for additional backup collateral or security to protect the public against uncompensated losses.  This action would have amended the regulations governing qualifications of motor carriers seeking authorization to self-insure their transportation operations. This action first appeared under former FHWA RIN 2125-AE06; then was transferred to FMCSA and assigned RIN 2126-AA28. RIN 2126-AA28 was inadvertently deleted in the May 14, 2001 Spring Semiannual Agenda (66 FR 25885). This action is no longer necessary because these issues are now part of RIN 2126-AA22.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Driver&apos;s License Standards; Biometric Identifier</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action was initiated by section 9105 of the Truck and Bus Safety and Regulatory Reform Act of 1988.  It proposes minimum uniform standards for a biometric identification system for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators.  In 1989, an ANPRM was published by requesting comments on a pilot demonstration project using biometric data including retinal eye scans and fingerprint technologies. After considering the comments, it was determined at the time that technology had not progressed to the point where a nationwide identification system could be cost-effective and provide the benefits for which a system was intended.  In 1991, a Notice of Information was published summarizing results of the pilot study and the comments to demonstrate how the technologies studied fell short of the demands of the commercial licensing environment at the time.

In 1998, section 4011(c) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, 49 USC 31308 amended, required each commercial driver's license (CDL) issued by the States after January 1, 2001, to have unique identifiers (which may include biometric identifiers).  A pilot study was conducted to collect over 16,000 sample digital facial images and sets of fingerprints from volunteers in California, Georgia, and West Virginia; California provided the lead for this study.  The pilot study has been completed and a report delivered in November 2002. FMCSA is considering setting biometric storage and transmission standards which States would use if they voluntarily wish to store fingerprint images and transmit such images to other States upon request.  Further action on this rulemaking is pending action by TSA.  This action is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application by Certain Mexico-Domiciled Motor Carriers To Operate Beyond U.S. Municipalities and Commercial Zones on the U.S.-Mexico Border</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action revises the regulations and form, OP-1(MX), governing applications by Mexico-domiciled property and passenger carriers who want to operate within the United States beyond the municipalities adjacent to Mexico in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, and beyond the commercial zones of such municipalities (border zones).  The action is taken in anticipation of a presidential order lifting the current statutory moratorium on authorizing such operations.  The form requires additional information about the applicant's business and operating practices to help the FMCSA to determine if the applicant will be able to meet the safety standards established for operating in interstate commerce in the United States.  The interim rule included requirements that were not proposed in the NPRM but which were necessary to comply with the FY 2002 DOT Appropriations Act.  This action is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Fitness Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FHWA published a final rule on November 6, 1997 (62 FR 60035), which incorporated the safety fitness rating methodology into 49 CFR 385 as appendix B.  In that document, FHWA identified its ultimate goal of 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>Penalties, Inspection, and Decal Display Requirements for Mexico-Domiciled Motor Carriers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA amends part 396 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to incorporate the requirement, as codified in parts 365 and 385, that all commercial motor vehicles operated by Mexico-domiciled motor carriers holding authority to transport property or passengers beyond the commercial zones of U.S. municipalities on the United States-Mexico border must display a Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) decal issued by a CVSA-certified inspector.  Adding this requirement to part 396 will enable FMCSA to assess civil penalties against Mexico-domiciled long-haul motor carriers that operate vehicles without the necessary CVSA decal.  This rule also clarifies that carriers will be required to obtain the necessary inspection decal before proceeding beyond border ports of entry.  By providing for more effective enforcement of the inspection and decal requirements, this rule will help to ensure that these motor carriers operate safe vehicles in the United States.  This action is considered significant because of substantial public and congressional interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration Enforcement
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule prohibits a motor carrier who is subject to the registration requirements under 49 U.S.C. 13902 from operating a commercial motor vehicle in interstate commerce unless it has registered with FMCSA.  Motor carriers are also prohibited from operating beyond the scope of their registered authorization.  If vehicles are discovered operating in violation of such registration requirements, they will be placed out of service, and the carrier may be subject to additional penalties.  This action makes State enforcement of the registration requirements a condition of MCSAP eligibility.  This action is considered significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposed amending the regulations regarding television viewers or screens in commercial motor vehicles.  FHWA was concerned that current restrictions on the locations of such devices would have the unintended effect of discouraging 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.  Based on its review of the comments, FMCSA withdrew the NPRM and terminated this proceeding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action was in response to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) letter 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 current regulation is little changed from the original rule adopted in 1936. 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.  Based on its analysis and comments received, FMCSA withdrew the ANPRM and terminated this proceeding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Requirements for Operators of Small Passenger-Carrying Commercial Motor Vehicles Used in Interstate Commerce</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA amended the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to require that motor carriers who operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), designed or used to transport between 9 and 15 passengers (including the driver) in interstate commerce, must comply with the FMCSRs when they are directly compensated for such services, and the vehicle is operated beyond a 75 air mile radius (86.3 statute miles or 138.9 kilometers) from the driver's normal work-reporting location.  These particular motor carriers, drivers, and vehicles would be subject to the same safety requirements as motorcoach operators, except for the commercial driver's license, controlled substances and alcohol testing regulations.  This action is required by sec. 212 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999.  This action is considered significant because of substantial public interest and safety implications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review: Air Bag On-Off Switches</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Reforming the Automobile Fuel Economy Standards Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this action, the agency intends to begin a public discussion on potential ways, within current statutory authority, to update the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Program and to make it more consistent with our public policy objectives.  The agency will seek comments on a number of possible concepts and measures, and invite the public to present additional concepts not presented here.  The discussion is not intended to address the stringency of proposed CAFE standards in the future, but rather the basic structure of the CAFE program.  The agency is interested in any suggestions towards revamping the CAFE program in such a way as to enhance overall fuel economy while protecting occupant safety and American jobs.  

The potential changes range from modest changes to existing definitions separating passenger cars from light trucks (i.e., vans, pickup trucks and SUVs) to more significant structural changes to light truck fuel economy standards.  The definitional changes could potentially expand the definition of light truck to include larger SUV's that are not currently subject to fuel economy standards, add criteria to existing definitions of light trucks and ensure that vehicles subject to the lower fuel economy standards applicable to trucks have sufficient functionality to be properly classified as trucks.  The advance notice also requests comment on changing the existing approach to setting light truck fuel economy standards from one of setting a fixed standard applicable to all sizes of trucks in the light truck fleet to one of setting a standard that changes in relationship to a selected attribute of trucks in the fleet.  Under such an attribute-based standard, the required fuel economy would change in relationship to either the weight of the vehicle, the size of the vehicle, or both.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[There are four prominent criticisms of the light truck CAFE program.  They relate to energy security, traffic safety, employment of American workers, and modernization of the definition and classification of light trucks.  First, concern has been raised that the energy-saving potential of the CAFE program is hampered by the current regulatory structure.  Second, concern has been raised that the current light truck CAFE standards could create safety risks by encouraging vehicle manufacturers to achieve greater fuel economy by downweighting their light truck offerings.  A third reason for considering CAFE reform relates to the adverse economic impacts that may result from such future increases in the stringency of CAFE standards.  A fourth reason for considering CAFE reform is to modernize the definitions and classifications of light trucks within the program.  The markets for, and designs of, cars and light trucks have changed substantially since the inception of the CAFE program in the late 1970's.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <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 established a negotiated rulemaking advisory committee to develop recommended amendments to the existing regulations.  The agency will publish the findings and recommendations of the negotiated rulemaking advisory committee and request comments from the public.]]></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 separate 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.  The proposed administrative rewrite of the headlamp regulations can be found under RIN 2127-AG87.]]></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.  NHTSA is also examining whether implementing a new offset test might create disbenefits in other crash modes such as side impacts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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>GM Petition on Amending FMVSS No. 301 and FMVSS Nos. 208, 212, 219, 303, and 305</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NHTSA published an NPRM on November 13, 2000, proposing to upgrade the rear- and side-impact tests in FMVSS No. 301, Fuel System Integrity.  The NPRM requested comments on a number of particular issues.  One of the requests, item 3.h, proposed to eliminate the second sentence in the standard's S7.11(b), which describes the test vehicle loading conditions.  GM submitted comments on the issue and recommended specific changes.  In addition, GM petitioned NHTSA to amend FMVSS Nos. 208, 212, 219, 303 and 305 with identical language that GM recommended for amending FMVSS No. 301.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 14(a) of the TREAD Act requires NHTSA to initiate a rulemaking for the purpose of improving the safety of child restraints, including minimizing head injuries from side impact collisions.  The action specifically addresses the prospective adoption of a dynamic side impact test in FMVSS No. 213; currently, only frontal tests are conducted.  If side impact test requirements are not proposed, the TREAD Act requires NHTSA to submit a Report to Congress explaining the rationale for these actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[While the side impact protection standard currently specifies a MDB test for the purpose of reducing chest injuries, the head injury problem in side crashes is not addressed by the standard.  In 1990, when the standard was published, no safety countermeasures were available to address this problem effectively.  In 1995, the agency amended the occupant protection in the interior impact standard (FMVSS No. 201) to add an in-vehicle component test for enhanced upper interior head impact protection.  However, head impacts with exterior objects, such as trees, poles, and narrow rigid structures, are not addressed in the requirements of FMVSS No. 201.  These head impacts constitute a serious safety problem today.  On the other hand, there are readily available countermeasures now, such as advanced inflatable head protection systems, which would provide occupant protection in these crashes.  The agency plans to address this safety problem by amending the side impact protection standard (FMVSS No. 214) to add a vehicle-to-pole test.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Nevertheless, approximately 1,440 fatal and 2,400 serious head injuries involving nearside occupants occur annually in non-rollover side crashes without full occupant ejections.  "Nearside occupants" are those sitting on the struck side of the vehicle in which they are riding.]]></RISKS>

        <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 that 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 proposed replacing the current rear-impact test procedures with a more stringent test procedure. The agency also proposed replacing 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 proposed to harmonize the lighting standard's geometric visibility requirements for signal lamps 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 issued 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.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to granting a petition for rulemaking from Independent Mobility Systems, the agency is considering removing the exemption in FMVSS No. 206 for wheelchair lift door retention components.  Prior to 1998, wheelchair adaptive equipment manufacturers disabled door retention components when installing wheelchair ramp and lift systems.  However, recent changes in technology have eliminated the necessity for modifying door retention for wheelchair lift/ramp installations and therefore, it is no longer necessary to provide the lift exemption in FMVSS No. 206]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Upgrade of Head Restraints</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency has proposed to upgrade the current head restraint requirements to increase safety. 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 considered significant due to the expected high cost to the private sector for the modifications to the standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency reviewed this standard and published a Request for Comments 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>Vehicles With Raised Roofs</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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 conduct a rulemaking to extend the theft prevention standard to the remaining motor vehicle lines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Heavier Hybrid III Type 6-Year-Old-Size Test Dummy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is proposing to incorporate a heavier 6-year-old child dummy as part of the Hybrid III test dummy family.  This dummy will have weight added to the existing dummy, making it heavier than 60 pounds.  The weighted 6-year-old dummy would have application for testing child restraint systems which are rated for weights above the current 6-year-old dummy weight and would serve as an interim device until such time as the Hybrid III 10-year-old dummy has been fully developed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Warning Label and Additional Conspicuity Features for Low Speed Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Low speed vehicles (whose top speed capability is, by definition, 25 mph) are required by NHTSA to meet certain minimum safety requirements.  These requirements are less stringent and comprehensive than those for all other passenger motor vehicles.  While low speed vehicles originally intended for use on roadways in neighborhoods, gated communities, and similar environments with limited traffic, some States now permit them to be used on roads with posted speed limits up to 35 mph, and even higher in a few cases.  Additionally, because various States treat these vehicles as zero emission vehicles, it is likely that larger volumes of these vehicles will enter service beginning in 2003.  Given the small size of these vehicles and their limited safety features, they offer less protection in a crash than a regular car, van, or truck does.  This means a higher risk of injury or death in crashes, even at low speeds.  Consequently, the agency is considering a label warning of this higher risk and measures for increasing the conspicuity of low speed vehicles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is considering an amendment to its occupant protection standard, FMVSS No. 208, to improve high speed crash protection to belted occupants of small stature that may sit in the full forward seat position.  Current crash test requirements for the 5th percentile adult female dummy include a 0-48 km/h belted rigid barrier crash test.  The agency is considering increasing the maximum crash test speed from 48 km/h to 56 km/h to be consistent with the 50th percentile adult male requirements that will take effect according to the second phase of the FMVSS No. 208 Advanced Air Bag Final Rule (65 FR 30680).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Platform Lift Systems; Petitions for Reconsideration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The history of this ruelaming includes a NPRM (2/1993), a SNPRM (7/2000) and a Final Rule (12/2002).  In this action, the Agency is responding to Petitions for Reconsideration to the Final Rule is taking place.  The Final Rule adopts two new safety standards:  Standard No. 403, an equipment standard specifying requirements for platform lifts; and Standard No. 404, a vehicle standard for all vehicles equipped with such lifts.  The equipment standard will require platform lift manufacturers to ensure that their lifts meet minimum platform dimensions and maximum size limits on platform protrusions and gaps.  Requirements also include handrails, a threshold-warning signal, provisions for backup operation, and retaining barriers.  Performance tests address such areas as wheelchair retention, lift strength/durability, maximum platform velocity/acceleration, and platform slip resistance.  Interlocks are prescribed to prevent situations relative to vehicle and lift movement that could cause injury.  The vehicle standard will require vehicle manufacturers who install lifts to use lifts meeting the equipment standard, to install them in accordance with lift manufacturer's instructions, and to ensure that specific information is made available to lift users.  These standards will prevent lift occupants from rolling or falling off of lift platforms, slipping or tripping while on lift platforms, being caught or pinched by moving lift components, and will provide safer transit for the disabled public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>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>Review: Antilock Brake Systems for Heavy Trucks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These standards require antilock brake systems (ABS) on truck-tractors manufactured after March 1, 1997, semi-trailers and single-unit trucks equipped with air brakes after March 1, 1998, and single-unit trucks over 10,000 pounds GVWR equipped with hydraulic brakes after March 1, 1999.  The agency will study the influence of ABS on crash involvement rates and estimate the cost of ABS.  These regulations were selected for review because of their costs, potential benefits, and public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Event Data Recorders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the past several years, there has been considerable interest from the safety community in establishing requirements for event data recorders (EDRs).  We believe it is timely to consider what role NHTSA should take in implementing EDRs in motor vehicles.  Recently, NHTSA received a petition requesting that NHTSA initiate rulemaking to require the installation of EDRs in new vehicles.  The agency decided to issue a Federal Register notice asking for comments.  NHTSA will decide what to do after review of comments and other related information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency received petitions for rulemaking from Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) and National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA).  The agency issued an interim final rule extending the compliance date from 9/1/02 to 9/1/03.  However, this one year extension does not provide sufficient time for the agency to consider the issues raised in these petitions before the compliance date for multi-stage vehicles manufacturers. This action would extend the compliance date for multi-stage vehicles by one another three years, i.e., from 9/1/03 to 9/1/06.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tire Pressure Monitoring System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act required 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 under-inflated.  The agency issued a final rule for tire pressure monitoring sysstems (TPMS)(establishing FMVSS No. 138) on June 5, 2002; however, that version of the standard was vacated by a decision issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in August 2003.

The agency will take action in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act to re-establish FMVSS No. 138, in a manner consistent with the court's decision, and provide a new phase-in period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency has proposed performance tests for ABS-equipped single-unit trucks and buses. ABS equipment requirements became effective for air-braked single-unit trucks, buses, and trailers on March 1, 1998, and for hydraulic-braked trucks and buses becomes effective on March 1, 1999. The agency indicated in prior rulemaking notices that it would consider supplementing these ABS equipment requirements with performance requirements after conducting tests to determine if such testings are practicable and repeatable for trucks and buses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Multifunctional School Activity Bus</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>Improve Tire Safety Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <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, the Agency published an ANPRM stating 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 sought 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.  This action is considered to be significant because of substantial public and congressional interest.]]></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>

        <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.  This action will amend the regulation implementing the incentive grant program established in TEA-21 to reflect the new sanctions provisions established in the DOT Appropriations Act for FY 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Advanced Air Bag Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to several petitions for rulemaking, the agency considered adjustments in the phase-in-requirements for advanced air bags.  In January 2003, the agency issued a final rule that reduced the percentage of a manufacturer's vehicles that must comply with the advanced air bag requirements during the first year of the first stage, i.e., from September 1, 2003, through August 31, 2004, from 35 percent to 20 percent.  The agency is continuing to consider possible adjustments in the alternative phase-in requirement available to limited-line manufacturers.]]></ABSTRACT>

It replaces the current rollover resistance consumer information that is based only on static measurements.  This action has no regulatory effect on vehicle manufacturers or the public.  The cost of collecting the information and making it available to the public is entirely the responsibility of NHTSA as part of its New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>List of Nonconforming Vehicles Eligible for Importation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final action amends the list of vehicles not originally manufactured to conform to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards that NHTSA has decided to be eligible for importation.  The list is published as an appendix to NHTSA's regulations at 49 CFR part 593 that establish the procedures through which the agency makes import eligibility decisions.  The amendment will add to the list all vehicles that NHTSA has decided to be eligible for importation since the list was last published on September 19, 2002.

This action was the same as RIN 2127-AJ19; so the agency terminated this as a separate action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency received petitions for reconsideration of the new standard requiring a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on new light vehicles.  This rule was required by the Transportation REcall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act.

The TPMS standard was challenged in a case before U.S. Count of Appeals for the Second Circuit.  On August 6, 2003, the Court issued a decision whish vacated the standard and remanded to the agency for further rulemaking consistent with the Court's opinion.  With the standard vacated, the agency has terminated its response to petitions for reconsideration.  However, the agency will treat these petitions as comments in the next phase of the TPMS rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Selection of Appendix A--Child Restraint Systems--Standard 208</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is considering an amendment to its occupant protection standard, FMVSS No. 208, to establish an annual process for updating the child restraint systems currently listed in appendix A of FMVSS No. 208 for use in testing advanced air bag systems.  In the past, appendix A has only been updated in response to petitions for reconsideration of the May 12, 2002, FMVSS No. 208 Advanced Air Bag final rule (65 FR 30680).  This amendment will outline the method the agency will use to obtain the necessary data related to child restraint systems, the selection criteria based on these data, the timing of the update and the legal form the update will take.

The agency decided to consider this issue in the context of another rulemaking on Standard 208, RIN 2127-AI82, and therefore terminated this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tire Pressure Monitoring System; Vacation of Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The TPMS standard (FMVSS No. 138) was challenged in a case before the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.  On August 6, 2003, the Court issued a decision which vacated the standard and remanded to the agency for further rulemaking consistent with the Court's opinion.  This rule is an administrative action to amend the code of Federal Regulations to reflect the Court's decision vacating the standard.  The agency will reestablish FMVSS No. 138 in a separate action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Each year FRA announces the minimum random drug and alcohol testing rates for the following year for the railroad industry. This determination is based on a review of rail industry drug and alcohol management information system data, as well as data from compliance reviews of rail industry drug and alcohol testing programs. Procedures were established in a final rule published on December 2, 1994, 59 FR 62218. For the calendar year 2003, the minimum random drug and alcohol testing rates of covered railroad employees continue to be 25 percent and 10 percent, respectively.  This agenda entry will be updated each year to show the latest annual determination. Cites for determinations already issued are provided below.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Locomotive Crashworthiness</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 last met in January, 2002, to consider 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reflectorization of Rail Freight Rolling Stock</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FRA is considering requiring that retroreflective tape be applied to all rail freight rolling stock. After extensive analysis, FRA has concluded that reflectionization of railroad freight rolling stock appears to be a viable and cost effective method of reducing the number of collisions at highway-rail grade crossings and the casualties and property damages which result from those collisions.  FRA's cost-benefit analysis and comments from interested parties may be found in the public docket for this proceeding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Noise Exposure for Railroad Operating Employees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FRA 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 noise, and reported its findings to Congress in 1996.  FRA presented the subject of locomotive working conditions to the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC).  The RSAC process, which involves participation of all parties with significant interests, provides a forum for consensual rulemaking and program development.

Through the RSAC process, FRA is amending its occupational noise standards for railroad employees whose predominant noise exposure occurs in the locomotive cab.  FRA's existing standard concerning cab noise, 49 CFR 229.121, limits cab employee noise exposure to certain levels based on the duration of their experience.  FRA would like to update its regulation to incorporate new measures.  This proposal would require railroads to implement a hearing conservation program, which would include hearing tests (audiograms), training, and monitoring.  It would also set design standards for new locomotives and maintenance standards for all locomotives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 of an NPRM that would facilitate introduction of advanced technology, including systems that support PTC functions. The NPRM addresses technical standards for all processor-based signal and train control products, amending 49 CFR part 236. The comment period ended 11/08/01, and FRA is now preparing a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application of Random Testing and Other Alcohol and Drug Regulations to Employees of Foreign Railroads</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would apply FRA's random testing and other alcohol and drug requirements to employees of a foreign railroad whose primary reporting point is outside the United States, and who perform train service or dispatching service in the United States. Such employees are currently exempt from random testing, pre-employment testing, and requirements for employee self-referral and co-worker report policies. This action is considered significant because of substantial inter-departmental concerns.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Retention of Current Monetary Threshold for Reporting Rail Equipment Accidents/Incidents During Calendar Year 2003 and Until Further Amended</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is an Interim Final Rule which establishes the monetary threshold for reporting rail equipment accidents/incidents for the calendar year 2003 and beyond.  This rule replaces the annual determination of the threshold, which is being withdrawn.  The 2003 threshold will remain the same as the threshold for calendar year 2002 due to the unavailability of Bureau of Labor Statistics data that was previously used to calculate the threshold.  The 2002 threshold is $6700; this is the number that will carry over for 2003 and beyond.  FRA is not calculating a new threshold; rather, the old one is being retained as it is not possible to calculate a new threshold with the current formula due to the lack of BLS data.  The 2002 threshold will be carried over for calendar year 2003 and beyond, until a new formula is established.  FRA will be seeking notice and comment at a future date to establish a new formula for calculating the monetary threshold for accident/incident reporting for calendar year 2004 and beyond.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 issued a final statement of policy on May 9, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimum Standards for Temperature in the Locomotive Cab</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would have amended current minimum temperature requirements and established maximum cab temperature requirements.  FRA is terminating this rulemaking because the agency was unable to determine that regulatory action could be supported by safety benefits that would clearly outweigh the costs.  Rather than proposing regulatory action, FRA is making available to the industry the results of safety research for consideration in the context of broader corporate decisionmaking (including issues related to employee retention, productivity, and preservation of other assets.)  FRA believes that this action will encourage continued investment toward improving locomotive cab working conditions.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Department of Transportation recently published a final rule revising all DOT agency MIS forms and transforming them into a single one-page form for use throughout DOT.  The requirement for use of the form is now in 49 CFR part 40.  By final rule, FTA has to conform its Drug and Alcohol rule by deleting portions of the MIS reporting requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the definition of "tripper" service, which is mass transportation service modified to meet the needs of school students and personnel. The amended definition will prohibit the use of certain signage without the express written permission of the FTA Administrator, and provides that tripper buses must stop only at stops that are marked as available to the public.  In the previous agenda, FTA had stated that it intended to withdraw the proposed amendment.  However, upon further consideration, the agency has decided to hold this matter in abeyance pending reauthorization of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Due to the receipt of an adverse comment, FTA withdrew the direct final rule issued on June 11, 2002, which would have amended the definition of "accident."  The agency concluded that coordination with other stakeholders was warranted but had been required to expend its resources on other security initiatives during the past year.  For these reasons, this rulemaking was being held in abeyance while the next course of action was determined.  FTA has recently determined that it will amend the rulemaking and accordingly, will close out this rulemaking action (2132-AA69) and initiate a new rule under 2132-AA76.]]></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 (4) other related issues. This rule is significant because of public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application Fee for Administrative Waivers of the Coastwise Trade Laws</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Part 388 of 46 CFR prescribes regulations to waive the U.S.-build requirements of the Passenger Vessel Services Act and Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920, for eligible vessels to be documented with the appropriate endorsement for employment in the coastwise trade as passenger vessels or uninspected passenger vessels authorized to carry no more than 12 passengers for hire.  The Maritime Administration proposes to increase the application fee for administrative waiver of the coastwise trade laws from $300 to $500.  The increased application fee would closer align the application fee with the actual cost of processing each waiver application.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Documentation: Lease Financing for Vessels Engaged in the Coastwise Trade; Second Rulemaking</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is a joint notice of proposed rulemaking by the Coast Guard and the Maritime Administration.  The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations on documentation, under the lease-financing provisions, of vessels engaged in the coastwise trade.  One proposal addresses the issue of whether we should prohibit or restrict the chartering back (whether by time charter, voyage charter, space charter, contract of affreightment, or other contract for the use of a vessel) of a lease-financed vessel to the parent of the vessel owner or to a subsidiary or affiliate of the parent.  A second proposal would establish a limit on the length of time that a coastwise endorsement issued before the date of publication of this notice of proposed rulemaking would run.  The final subject concerns the question of whether applications for an endorsement under the lease-financing provisions should be reviewed and approved by an independent third party with expertise in vessel chartering.  Though these subjects were discussed in many of the comments received to the previous Coast Guard rulemaking on lease financing, we feel that we need additional public input specifically focused on these subjects and on our proposed changes.  These proposals would amend the final rule (USCG-2001-8825) on vessel documentation under lease financing found elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.  
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) proposes to amend its regulations to require MARAD's approval of all transfers of the use of a lease-financed vessel engaged in the coastwise trade back to the vessel's foreign owner, the parent of the owner, a subsidiary or affiliate of the parent, or an officer, director, or shareholder of one of them.  In 1992, MARAD amended its regulations to grant general approval for time charters of U.S.-flag vessels to charterers that were not U.S. citizens (noncitizens) and to eliminate MARAD's review of these time charters.  The lease-financing provisions potentially allowcitizen to exert additional control over a vessel operated in the coastwise trade by becoming the owner of the vessel and time chartering the vessel back to itself or to a related entity through an intermediate U.S. citizen bareboat charterer.  MARAD's review of charter arrangements in the limited circumstances where the time charterer is related to the noncitizen vessel owner will ensure that U.S. citizens maintain control over vessels operating in the coastwise trade.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Waivers of the Coastwise Trade Laws for Eligible Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule will implement regulations to waive the U.S.-build requirements of the Passenger Vessel Services Act and Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920, for eligible vessels to be documented with appropriate endorsement for employment in the coastwise trade as passenger vessels or uninspected passenger vessels authorized to carry no more than 12 passengers for hire. The Maritime Administration intends to publish the interim final rule to implement the changes of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. The legislative changes lift the sunset provision and require the Secretary of Transportation to revoke an endorsement that was obtained by fraud.  The Secretary of Transportation has delegated to MARAD the authority to process applications for waivers of the coastwise laws if the waivers do not adversely affect U.S. vessel builders or U.S.-built vessel coastwise trade businesses.   
   
This interim final rule also brings the application procedure into compliance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA). GPEA requires that by October 21, 2003, the government must provide "the option of electronic maintenance, submission, or disclosure of information when practicable as a substitute for paper." Therefore, we will provide the option of electronic filing of the application.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials Safety: Transportation of Oxygen Cylinders and Oxygen Generators Aboard Aircraft</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[RSPA proposes to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to require oxygen cylinders and oxygen generators, when transported aboard aircraft, to be packed in an outer packaging that meets prescribed thermal and heat resistance requirements.  These requirements will increase the level of safety associated with transportation of oxidizing gases by air.  This rule has no impact on the use of passenger-owned oxygen cylinders. This rule is significant due to public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety: Passage of Internal Inspection Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1994, RSPA amended its gas and hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations to require that operators design and construct certain pipelines to accommodate the passage of instrumented internal inspection devices, or smart pigs. In response to petitions for reconsideration, RSPA proposed to modify requirements that apply to offshore transmission lines and that require removal of smart pig impediments from transmission line sections. In addition, RSPA suspended enforcement of the rule on offshore transmission lines and on onshore transmission line sections except replacement parts. Final rulemaking action will resolve issues raised by the petitions and public comments on the proposed modifications, and end the suspension of enforcement.]]></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. A final rule incorporating the comments will be published in December 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to Loading, Unloading, and Storage</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking makes revisions 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>

        <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). 

Work on a similar gas rule is almost complete. A final rule defining high consequence areas for gas transmission pipelines was issued on August 6, 2002 (67 FR 50824).  A notice of proposed rulemaking proposing integrity management requirements for transmission pipelines in the high consequence areas was issued on January 28, 2003 (68 FR 4278).]]></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>Hazardous Materials: Revision to Penalty Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will make revisions to RSPA's guidelines in appendix A to 49 CFR part 107, subpart D, which set forth policy and procedures for assessing civil penalties for violations of the Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Law and the Hazardous Materials Regulations.  This rule will add baseline penalty amounts for additional violations, adjust baseline penalty amounts for other violations, and state that RSPA now considers prior violations for 6 years rather than 5.  In addition, this rule will correct a typographical error in the address to where the civil penalty payments must be sent and make editorial changes to procedural regulations for issuing administrative preemption determinations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would change miscellaneous gas pipeline safety standards to provide clarity, eliminate unnecessary or overly burdensome requirements, and foster economic growth. The proposed changes result from RSPA's further review of the standards and changes recommended by the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives (NAPSR) in its November 1992 report on the standards and by the State Industry Regulatory Review Committee in its April 26, 1999 report. The proposed changes would reduce costs in the pipeline industry without compromising safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Docket No. RSPA-02-13208. Formerly 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 proposed 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 the 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 regulations 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 39 proposed changes in the gas pipeline safety regulations.

Most of the SIRRC recommendations will be addressed in a subsequent notice of proposed rulemaking.  However, the welding recommendations are being adopted in the periodic update (Docket No. RSPA-99-6106 RIN 2137-AD35).  And the corrosion control recommendations are being considered in a review of the gas pipeline corrosion regulations in RIN 2137-AD63.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Government Securities Act regulations applicable to custodial holdings of Government securities by depository institutions.  Specifically, this proposal would expand the eligibility for the exemption for holdings subject to fiduciary standards at 17 CFR part 450.3 to include savings associations examined by the Office of Thrift Supervision.  The exemption is currently available to depository institutions that meet its conditions regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Terrorism Risk Insurance Program; Initial Claims Procedure Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As the statutorily authorized administrator of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program, Treasury is issuing proposed and final regulations to implement the Program. Under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, title I, Public Law 107-297, and the Program, the Federal Government shares the risk of insured losses from certified acts of terrorism with commercial property and casualty insurers until the Program sunsets on December 31, 2005.  This rule incorporates and clarifies statutory conditions for filing claims for payment of the Federal share of compensation for insured losses under the Program.  The rule addresses requirements for loss certification, specifies information needed in conjunction with insurer submissions for Federal compensation, offers guidance on the statutory definition of what is payable as the federal share of insured losses, and sets forth requirements for investigating and auditing claims under the Program.  The rule generally builds upon previous interim guidances and final rules issued by Treasury, particularly in areas involving definitions and disclosure requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection must liquidate a suspended entry after the suspension is removed; remove the application of the four-year limitation to suspended entries; and provide that the agency must also inform sureties when an entry is suspended or extended.]]></ABSTRACT>

Amendment is consistent with a court decision in which merchandise processing fees were found to be eligible to be claimed as unused merchandise drawback.

The purpose of the PDTA is to promote product development and testing in the United States by allowing the duty-free entry of articles, commonly referred to as prototypes, that are to be used exclusively in product development, testing, evaluation, and quality control.  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to those provisions of the Customs Regulations that implement the trade benefit provisions for sub-Saharan African countries contained in the African Growth and Opportunity Act (the AGOA).  Amendments involve the textile and apparel provisions of the AGOA and in part reflect changes to those statutory provisions by section 3108 of the Trade Act of 2002.  The specific statutory changes involve the amendment of several provisions to clarify the status of apparel articles assembled from knit-to-shape components, the inclusion of a specific reference to apparel articles formed on seamless knitting machines, a change of the wool fiber diameter specified in one provision, and the addition of a new provision to cover additional production scenarios involving the United States and AGOA beneficiary countries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revised interim rule: revises the primary mission eligibility test to comply with the plain meaning of the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994 (the Act); reduces the frequency of previously approved collections of information by replacing semiannual reporting requirements with annual reporting requirements; clarifies the terms and conditions underlying an award of assistance prior to the execution of an assistance program; achieves regulatory economy and efficiency by deleting references to application content requirements and other matters that have been and will continue to be thoroughly addressed in the various applications and in the Notices of Funds Availability (NOFA); and makes technical and clarifying changes that the Fund believes will generally inure to the benefit of CDFIs and entities proposing to become CDFIs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As the statutorily authorized administrator of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program, Treasury is issuing proposed and final regulations to implement the Program. Under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, title I, Public Law 107-297, and the Program, the Federal Government shares the risk of insured losses from certified acts of terrorism with commercial property and casualty insurers until the Program sunsets on December 31, 2005.  This rule incorporates and clarifies statutory requirements for the recoupment of the Federal share of compensation for insured losses.  The rule establishes requirements for determining amounts to be recouped and for procedures insurers are to use for collecting terrorism loss risk-spreading premiums and remitting them to the Treasury.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to expand the number of ways that U.S. Customs and Border Protection will accept payment of duties, taxes, fees, interest, and other charges. Currently, the regulations allow for credit or charge cards, which have been authorized by the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Commissioner), to be used at designated customs-serviced locations with a limitation that this method of payment may only be used by noncommercial entities. Amendment allows payment of duties, taxes, fees, interest, and other charges by any electronic technology or charge cards (either debit or credit cards) that are authorized by the Commissioner and by removing the limitation that these methods of payment may only be used by noncommercial entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Future Customs Transactions When Payment To Customs on Prior Transactions is Delinquent and/or Dishonored</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment concerning how U.S. Customs and Border Protection will handle the future transactions of importers or other parties financially obligated to the agency who are delinquent in a payment to the agency or have had payments to the agency returned as dishonored by their financial institution. Amendment provides, among other things, that where an importer or other party financially obligated to the agency (debtor) has not paid monies owed to the agency by the due date in a customs bill or collection notice, including a bill or collection notice requesting payment of an amount owed to the agency that has been returned as dishonored by the debtor's financial institution, the agency may require the debtor to file entry summary documentation at the time of entry with estimated duties, taxes and fees attached (to make live entry). This requirement will be imposed on all the debtor's future importations at all ports of entry until the agency receives full payment of the debtor's overdue amount, including accrued interest, or until the debt has been resolved other than by agency termination of the collection action. Amendment also concerns when the agency will require all future payments be made by certified check, money order, cash, or if authorized, by Automated Clearinghouse credit payment. Amendments are necessary to support agency collection efforts and to ensure a uniform and consistent approach in the manner by which the agency responds to delinquent and dishonored payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment pertaining to the importation of merchandise bearing a counterfeit mark to clarify the limit on the amount of a civil fine which may be assessed by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection when merchandise bearing a counterfeit mark is imported.  Current regulations use, as a measurement for determining the limit, the domestic value of merchandise as if it had been genuine, based on the manufacturer's suggested retail price of the merchandise at the time of seizure.  The amendment adheres more closely to the statutory language, basing the limit of the civil fine on the value of the genuine goods according to the manufacturer's suggested retail price, without any reference to domestic value.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to provide the method for calculating manufacturing substitution drawback where imported merchandise, which is dutiable on its value, contains a chemical element and amounts of that chemical element are used in the manufacture or production of articles that are either exported or destroyed under customs supervision. Recent court cases have held that a chemical element that is contained in an imported material that is subject to an ad valorem rate of duty may be designated as same kind and quality merchandise for drawback purposes. Amendment provides the method by which the duty attributable to the chemical element can be apportioned. Amendment requires a drawback claimant, where applicable, to make this apportionment calculation.]]></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 nonreceipt 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 noncompliance to the Treasury's General Fund.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Notice of proposed rulemaking II (NPRM II) was a reissuance of NPRM I published on September 21, 1995, 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 procedures for securing payment for money judgments against the United States. The proposed revision will update these procedures. This revision will benefit claimants and others in understanding the judgment payment process. This regulation currently describes a process that involves the General Accounting Office (GAO) and the Treasury Department. The revision will remove 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. These revisions will make the regulation consistent with current procedures for securing payment of money judgments against the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Government Participation in the Automated Clearing House (ACH)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service (FMS), is amending its rule governing the use of the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system by Federal agencies.  This proposed rule would amend 31 CFR part 210 to provide that, as of an effective date to be specified, any check received by a Federal agency may be converted to an ACH debit entry.  The proposed rule would request comment on a plan whereby FMS would provide notice of check conversion to the general public through agency and financial institution web sites, the Federal Register, on agency forms, and in radio, television, and media announcements.]]></ABSTRACT>

A formula system for manufactured beer products will replace statements of process attached to the brewers notice. The annual notice for small brewers to pay the reduced rate of tax will be eliminated. Separate regulations for brewpubs will be added to part 25. 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.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice incorporates most of the parts of Industry Circular 91-3, dated March 19, 1991, entitled "Large Cigar Taxes On and After January, 1991" that have not been placed in the regulations. Industry Circular 91-3 addressed questions about determining the amount of tax for large cigars based on their sale price. In addition, this notice proposes: 1) to give guidance on tax adjustments for large cigars provided at no cost in connection with a sale, and 2) recordkeeping requirements for persons in Puerto Rico, who bring large cigars upon prepayment or deferred payment of tax into the United States from Puerto Rico.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The temporary rule prescribes TTB regulations relating to a final rule (T.D. 92-181, 57 FR 37692), published by the former U.S. Customs Service (USCS). The USCS published this final rule to create a separate class of customs bonded warehouse duty-free store (class 9). A class 9 customs bonded warehouse may receive tobacco products or cigarette papers or tubes without payment of Federal excise tax. The temporary rule prescribes the regulations that allow a manufacturer of tobacco products or cigarette papers and tubes and an export warehouse proprietor to send such articles to a class 9 customs bonded warehouse. In addition, the temporary rule prescribes regulations that allow a proprietor of a customs bonded manufacturing warehouse to send such cigars to a class 9 customs bonded warehouse. This notice of proposed rulemaking invites comments on the temporary rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice of proposed rulemaking requires labels, notices and marks for removals, in bond, of tobacco products or cigarette papers and tubes that are not in packages. This notice proposes new sections that prohibit the removal of tobacco products or cigarette papers or tubes that are not in packages for domestic uses. Packages are the immediate containers in which a manufacturer or importer places the tobacco products or cigarette papers or tubes for sale or delivery to the consumer. Also, this notice broadens the language for extending bonds so that manufacturers may receive tobacco products, cigarette papers and tubes, without payment of tax, from Puerto Rico. This notice may affect the operations conducted by manufacturers of tobacco products or cigarette papers and tubes and importers of tobacco products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>In-Transit Stops of Tobacco Products, and Cigarette Papers and Tubes Without Payment of Tax</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice is the result of a petition from the Cigar Association of America and the Pipe Tobacco Council. The petition requests that TTB change its position regarding in-transit stops of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes after removal without payment of tax from a factory. TTB has taken the position that the law provides that manufacturers may remove the tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes by paying the excise tax and subsequently filing a claim for drawback. This notice proposes to clarify the regulations to recognize such in-transit stops and specifies records that manufacturers and export warehouse proprietors maintain relating to the removals without payment of tax.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed 27,500-acre Fort Ross-Seaview viticultural area is in the North Coast and Sonoma Coast viticultural areas.  It is approximately 65 miles north-northwest from San Francisco, close to the Pacific coastline.  A significant distinguishing factor of the viticultural area, based on its 920 feet and 1,800 feet elevations, is the sunny and warm growing season that contrasts to the surrounding foggy and cooler lower elevations.  The draft notice of proposed rulemaking is in review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition To Establish &quot;Dundee Hills&quot; as a New American Viticultural Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB has received a petition from the North Willamette Valley AVA Group proposing to establish the "Dundee Hills" American viticultural area in Yamhill County, Oregon. This petitioned viticultural area has 6,490 acres, with 1,264 acres planted to wine grapes, and is on the north side of the Willamette Valley viticultural area in northwest Oregon. In November 2002, the petitioning group amended their viticultural area petition from the Red Hills of Dundee to the Dundee Hills to avoid confusion with any other Red Hills viticultural area. Substantiating name evidence for the "Dundee Hills" name has been provided.  The notice of proposed rulemaking published August 15, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition No. 1 To Expand the Russian River Valley Viticultural Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB received a petition in August 2002, from Mr. Donald Carano to expand the Russian River Valley viticultural area's east boundary area by 767 acres in Sonoma County, California. The public comments indicated a general acceptance, without significant opposition, to the expansion area.  The final rule is in review.

More recently TTB received a separate petition (RIN 1513-AA67) from the Russian River Valley Winegrowers group proposing a larger expansion to the east and south of the original Russian River Valley viticultural boundaries, which includes this smaller expansion.  The second expansion petition will be addressed in a separate notice of proposed rulemaking.]]></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. TTB will issue a notice of proposed rulemaking 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>

Because current regulations only prohibit markings on such packages that indicate U.S. tax has been paid, packages of products with marks such as "U.S. tax-exempt" or "sale prohibited in the United States" are being imported or brought into the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Revisions to the Distilled Spirits Plant Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB is proposing to amend the distilled spirits plant regulations in 27 CFR part 19. Many of these proposed revisions are the result of a petition submitted by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS). Other proposed revisions are a result of TTB's own comprehensive review of the regulations in 27 CFR part 19. TTB believes that the amendments proposed in this notice will benefit the distilled spirits industry by modernizing many of the requirements for operating distilled spirits plants and thereby allow proprietors to operate in a more efficient manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Regarding Mark-to-Market Valuation for Certain Securities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 475(a) requires that dealers in securities must mark their securities to market. If the security is inventory, the dealer must include that security at fair market value. Taxpayers must treat any securities that are not inventory as if they were sold for its fair market value on the last business day of the year. While the legal definition of the term "fair market value" has long been settled, the statute is silent as to what valuation methodology should be used to determine fair market value of any particular security. Many of the securities subject to section 475 raise difficult valuation issues. An advanced notice of proposed rulemaking asked for comments on rules and standards that the IRS is considering using a financial statement-tax conformity approach for valuing certain securities under section 475 for which the determination of actual fair market value is administratively difficult. The rules will include: (1) the securities to which this approach applies; (2) the taxpayers who may elect this approach; (3) the election into the approach; (4) the applicable financial statements to be used; (5) the record-keeping, retention, and availability requirements for verification of financial statement-tax conformity; and (6) what approach will apply if the election for financial statement-tax conformity is not made.  A notice of proposed rulemaking will be published after the IRS and the Treasury consider comments received on the advance notice of rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Regarding Application of Section 265(a)(2) and 246A in Transactions Involving Related Parties, Pass-Through Entities, or Other Intermediaries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 7701(f) of the Code provides that the Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to prevent the avoidance of the provisions of the Code that deal with (1) the linking of borrowing to investment, or (2) diminishing the risk through the use of related persons, pass-through entities, or other intermediaries.  Section 7701(f) was enacted to authorize the issuance of regulations to prevent the avoidance of the purposes of sections 265(a)(2) (which disallows interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations) and 246A (which reduces the dividends received deduction under sections 243, 244, or 245(a)) in proportion to the extent that the portfolio stock with respect to which the dividends are received is debt-financed) through transactions involving related parties, pass-through entities, or other intermediaries.]]></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>

This proposed regulation incorporates the changes enacted in the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 and Tax Reform Act of 1986. This regulation is a continuation of the regulation project previously numbered at REG-208225-88.]]></ABSTRACT>

Similar multi-party tax avoidance techniques are addressed by Property Treasury Regulation section 1.7701(i)-2 (1996). This regulation also would modify a rule in the proposed regulation dealing with certain related-party transfers that might, in its present form, present opportunities for tax avoidance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this project is to harmonize various regulatory provisions with current administrative guidance regarding recovery periods for section 481(a) adjustments. When the IRS changed the spread periods from four years (positive and negative) to four years (positive) and one year (negative), it discovered that there were some scattered regulatory provisions that contain different spread periods. Those regulatory provisions that are imposed as a matter of administrative discretion are under consideration to impose a standard spread period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection after Assessment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1988 (RRA '98) section 3461 amended section 6502 of the Code to limit the ability of the Service to enter into agreements extending the collection statute.  RRA '98 also included an off-Code "sunset" provision governing the continued effect of collection statute extension agreements executed prior to January 1, 2000, the effective date of this section.  The current regulations under section 6502 have not been updated to reflect these changes to the section.  The current regulations provide that extension agreements may be executed anytime prior to the expiration of the original statutory collection period.

The revised regulations will incorporate the changes imposed by RRA '98 and will provide in part that the only two circumstances under which an agreement extending the collecting period may be executed are: (1) when the extension agreement is executed in connection with an Installment Agreement; and (2) when the extension agreement is executed prior to a levy being released pursuant to section 6343, when the release occurs after the expiration of the original 10-year statutory collection period.  Also, the revised regulations will discuss the continued validity of extension agreements executed prior to January 1, 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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[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 amendments 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 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>

RIN 1545-BA06 and its corresponding number REG-126485-01 was first opened with respect to a proposed regulation that was first published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2001. The November 15, 2001, proposed regulations were withdrawn by proposed regulations in the Federal Register on January 24, 2003. The January 24, 2003, proposed regulations with the same REG-126485-01, not only withdrew the November 15, 2001, proposed regulations but also served as a cross-referencing proposed regulation to a temporary regulation published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2003, and a notice of proposed rulemaking.

The temporary regulations also use the REG-126485-01 number. The document published with respect to the temporary regulations also serve as final regulations. The final regulations use RIN 1545-BB46 and REG-162729-02. Once the temporary regulations were published, the final regulations (REG-162729-02; RIN 1545-BB46) were closed.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, Federal Unemployment Tax Act, and Collection of Income Tax at Source to Statutory Stock Options</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations under sections 424, 3121, 3306, and 3401 clarify the application of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), and the Collection of Income Tax at Source to statutory stock options; i.e., incentive stock options under section 422 (ISOs) and options granted under employee stock purchase plans under section 423 (ESPP options). The regulations provide that at the time of the exercise of a statutory stock option, the individual who was granted the statutory stock option receives wages for FICA and FUTA purposes. The 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 and 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Partnership Transactions Involving Long-Term Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, regulations under section 460 divide the rules regarding a mid-contract change in taxpayers engaged in completing long-term contracts into two categories: constructive completion transactions and step-in-the-shoes transactions. The regulations provide that a transfer described in section 721(a) of a long-term contract to a partnership and a transfer of a partnership interest are step-in-the-shoes transactions. These regulations will explain the tax consequences of contributions of long-term contracts to, transfers of interests in, and distributions from, partnerships holding long-term contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Limitation on Use of Nonaccrual Experience Method of Accounting</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 448(d)(5), as amended by the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, the nonaccrual experience method of accounting is available only for amounts to be received for the performance of qualified services (i.e., services in the fields of health, law, engineering, architecture, accounting, actuarial science, performing arts, or consulting) or for services provided by certain small businesses (i.e., those with gross receipts of $5 million or less). The law provides that such taxpayers are not required to accrue, based on their experience, any portion of year-end receivables that will not be collected. Under the proposed regulations, taxpayers will be permitted to determine such amounts using alternative computations or formulas which, based on experience, accurately reflect the amount of income that will not be collected by such taxpayer. The proposed regulations will provide safe harbor methods (computations or formulas) of estimating such amounts that the taxpayers can rely on.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs); Application of Section 446 With Respect to Inducement Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations provide guidance on the proper timing of income from the receipt of fees to induce the purchase of noneconomic residual interests in Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs). The regulations require that these REMIC inducement fees may no longer be taken into account currently upon receipt. Instead, the proposed regulations require that these inducement fees be taken into account over a period that is related to the period during which the applicable REMIC is expected to generate taxable income or net loss allocable to the holder of the noneconomic residual interest. The regulations also provide two safe harbor methods of accounting for these inducement fees. The regulations will be issued at 26 CFR section 1.446-6, as applicable. (The notice of proposed rulemaking also includes a sourcing rule at 1.863-1(e).)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations under section 1.861-8(e) will provide new guidance regarding the allocation of charitable deductions to U.S. or foreign source income. As currently proposed, the regulations provide that a taxpayer will allocate such a deduction solely to U.S. source income if the taxpayer designated the contribution for U.S. use and reasonably believed that it would be so used. A taxpayer will allocate such a deduction solely to foreign source income if the taxpayer 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, the taxpayer would ratably apportion such a deduction.  The current proposed regulations must either be finalized or new proposed regulations need to be proposed with a different allocation rule.]]></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>

On January 2, 2001, a notice of proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register (REG-107566-00; 66 FR 66) under section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. A public hearing regarding those proposed regulations was held on May 15, 2001. On August 3, 2001, those proposed regulations were published as temporary regulations in the Federal Register (REG-107566-00; 66 FR 40590). This regulation withdraws the notice of proposed rulemaking that was published on January 2, 2001, and provides new rules under section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by cross-reference to temporary regulations published in the same issue of the Federal Register.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Duplicative Tax Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation prevents a consolidated group from deriving more than one tax benefit from a single economic loss. A loss on a consolidated return, with respect to the sale of a subsidiary's stock, will be suspended to the extent of duplication (i.e. the group retains the loss asset) as long as the subsidiary remains a member of the group. In addition, there is a basis leveling rule, which prevents groups from loading losses onto a single block of subsidiary stock and selling only that stock, while maintaining that subsidiary as part of the group.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations facilitate electronic filing by tax return preparers.  The existing regulations, which contain references to manually signed returns, have resulted in uncertainty over whether preparers must produce manually signed, paper copies of returns for taxpayers and the preparer's records.  The regulations clarify that preparers may avoid paper copies by retaining and furnishing to taxpayers copies of returns in electronic or digital format prescribed by the Commissioner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations for section 7654 (1954 Code) will revise existing regulations for clarification and the regulations for section 7654 (1986 Code) will be new.  Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 7654 contains the provisions for cover-over to the U.S. Possessions.  Old section 7654 (1954 Code) continues to be applicable to Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) because these two possessions do not have an effective implementing agreement with the United States as required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986.  Regulations are necessary for consistent and correct application of section 7654.  For example, cover-over for (Armed Forces) residents of the possessions stationed outside the possessions are not specifically addressed in the 1954 Code, and neither is cover-over for Federal employees residing in U.S. Possessions.  Regulations are needed to carryout the provisions of section 7654 and sections 931, 932, and 935.]]></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>

        <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.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation finalizes regulations implementing 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 final regulation, which will be substantially identical to a temporary regulation already in effect will permit the Internal Revenue Service to disclose returns and return information to a taxpayer's designee, pursuant to nonwritten requests for or consent to disclosure. The regulation will also provide rules and guidance for consent in an electronic environment. Additionally, the regulation 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>Net Gift Treatment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation is intended to cover the effect of gift tax entitled to be 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>

The final regulations reflect changes in the law since the existing regulations were published in the Federal Register on March 13, 1980.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Reconsideration of Rev. Rul. 75-191 (situations 1 and 2) regarding the application of the section 6656 failure-to-deposit penalty where employment taxes should have been withheld but were not.  Ruling provides employer will not be subject to the penalty if employer did not actually withhold the taxes. In contrast, Treas. Reg. section 1.1461-1(a)(2) provides that penalty will be due for taxes under chapter 3 of the Code if the withholding agent should have withheld the tax but in fact did not withhold as required. Regulation will conform treatment of employment taxes to chapter 3 taxes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits; Application of Section 446 With Respect to Inducement Fees (Temporary)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The temporary regulations provide guidance on the proper timing of income from the receipt of fees to induce the purchase of noneconomic residual interests in Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs). The temporary regulations require that these REMIC inducement fees may no longer be taken into account currently upon receipt. Instead, the temporary regulations require that these inducement fees be taken into account over a period that is related to the period during which the applicable REMIC is expected to generate taxable income or net loss allocable to the holder of the noneconomic residual interest. The temporary regulations also provide several safe harbor methods of accounting for these inducement fees. The regulations will be issued at 26 CFR section 1.446-6T, as applicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under current regulations, distributions of loss corporation stock from a qualified trust to its beneficiaries can cause an ownership change, triggering the limitation on losses of section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. This regulation would reduce the negative impact of many such distributions by providing a "tacking rule" that would treat distributed stock as having been acquired by the beneficiary in the time and manner acquired by the trust.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Implementation of New Basel Capital Accord</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision are setting forth for industry comment their current views on a proposed framework for implementing the New Basel Capital Accord in the United States.  In particular, this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) describes significant elements of the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based approach for credit risk and the Advanced Measurement Approaches for operational risk (together, the advanced approaches).  The ANPRM specifies criteria that would be used to determine banking organizations that would be required to use the advanced approaches, subject to meeting certain qualifying criteria, supervisory standards, and disclosure requirements.  Other banking organizations that meet the criteria, standards, and requirements also would be eligible to use the advanced approaches.  Under the advanced approaches, banking organizations would use internal estimates of certain risk components as key inputs in the determination of their regulatory capital requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of Thrift Supervision (collectively, the Agencies) are proposing to amend their risk-based capital standards by removing a sunset provision in order to permit sponsoring banks, bank holding companies, and thrifts (collectively, sponsoring banking organizations) to continue to exclude from their risk-weighted asset base those assets in asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) programs that are consolidated onto sponsoring banking organizations' balance sheets as a result of a recently issued accounting interpretation, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.  The Agencies also are proposing to require banking organizations to hold risk-based capital against liquidity facilities with an original maturity of one year or less that organizations provide to ABCP programs, regardless of whether the organization sponsors the program or must consolidate the program under generally accepted accounting principles.  Finally, the Agencies are again proposing a risk-based capital charge for certain types of securitizations of revolving retail credit that incorporate early amortization provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of Thrift Supervision are amending their risk-based capital standards by providing an interim capital treatment for assets in asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) programs that are consolidated onto the balance sheets of sponsoring banking organizations as a result of a recently issued accounting interpretation, FIN 46.  The interim capital treatment allows sponsoring banking organizations to remove the consolidated ABCP program assets from their risk-weighted asset bases for the purpose of calculating their risk-based capital ratios.  In addition, any minority interests in ABCP programs that are consolidated as a result of FIN 46 are to be excluded from sponsoring banking organizations' minority interest component of tier 1 capital and, thereby, from total risk-based capital.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS and the other Federal banking agencies are developing regulations implementing provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Subject to certain conditions, these regulations would permit institutions to share "other information" with affiliates without becoming consumer reporting agencies (affiliate sharing). The proposed regulations would specify 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 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 plan to issue either an advance notice of proposed rulemaking or a notice of proposed rulemaking that would introduce the domestice implementation of the New Basel Capital Accord (Basel II). This would include an introduction to an advanced internal ratings-based approach to credit risk, and may include modifications to the current U.S. domestic capital framework.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, Board, FDIC, and OTS (the Agencies) propose to revise their respective rules of practice pursuant to section 36 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA) (12 USC 1831m). Section 36, as implemented by 12 CFR part 363, requires that each insured depository institution with total assets of $500 million or more produce an annual report containing the institution's financial statements and certain management assessments. The depository institution must provide the report to the FDIC, the appropriate Federal banking agency, and any appropriate State bank supervisor. Section 36 also requires that the depository institution obtain an audit of its financial statements and an attestation on management's assertions concerning internal controls over financial reporting by an independent public accountant (accountant) and include the accountant's audit and attestation reports in its annual report.

Congress gave the Agencies authority to remove, suspend, or debar accountants from performing the audit services required by section 36 if there is good cause to do so. This proposal would amend the Agencies' rules to establish rules of practice and procedure for the removal, suspension, and debarment of accountants and their firms from performing section 36 audit services for insured depository institutions. The proposal reflects the Agencies' increasing concern with the quality of audits and internal controls for financial reporting at insured depository institutions. Although there have been few bank and thrift failures in recent years, the circumstances of the failures that have occurred illustrate the importance of maintaining high quality in the audits of the financial position and attestations of management assessments of insured depository institutions. The final rules enhance the Agencies' ability to address misconduct by accountants who perform annual audit and attestation services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of a Revised Basel Capital Accord (formerly Modified Domestic Capital Framework)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS 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 plan to issue either an advance notice of proposed rulemaking or a notice of proposed rulemaking that would introduce the domestice implementation of the New Basel Capital Accord (Basel II). This would include an introduction to an advanced internal ratings-based approach to credit risk, and may include modifications to the current U.S. domestic capital framework.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary of the Treasury, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the National Credit Union Administration issued a joint final rule implementing section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.  Section 326 requires a regulation that contains minimum standards that financial institutions must implement to: 1) verify the identity of any person seeking to open an account; 2) maintain records of the information used to verify the person's identity; and 3) determine whether the person appears on any lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations provided to the financial institution by a Government agency.  The substantive requirements were codified as part of Treasury's BSA regulations located in 31 CFR part 103.  In addition, OTS added a cross-reference to 12 CFR part 563 clarifying the applicability of the final rule to savings associations.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed revision in part 7 would also provide that when a bank discloses documents and records to the OCC during the supervisory process, such a disclosure is not voluntary and is not made to an adversary. The OCC anticipates that this proposed rule would not have a significant impact on national banks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision are proposing to amend their risk-based capital standards by removing the April 1, 2004, sunset provision in order to permanently adopt the interim rule, issued concurrently, that permits sponsoring banks, bank holding companies, and thrifts to exclude from risk-weighted assets those assets in asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) programs consolidated onto sponsoring banking organizations' balance sheets as a result of a recently issued accounting interpretation, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46).  In addition, the proposed rule would increase the risk-based capital requirement for liquidity facilities with an original maturity of one year or less that banking organizations provide to ABCP Programs.  Finally, the proposed rule would require a risk-based capital charge for early amortization risk associated with certain types of revolving securitizations by generally requiring banks to hold a marginal increase in capital for revolving securitizations as their level of excess spread decreases.]]></ABSTRACT>

The OCC also plans to amend part 5 to implement the authority in section 1204 of AHEOA by adding a new section setting forth the application and prior approval requirements for national banks contemplating reorganization as a subsidiary of a bank holding company. In addition, the OCC also plans to implement section 1205 of AHEOA by amending part 7 to permit national banks to adopt bylaws providing for staggered boards of directors and to permit national banks to apply to expand the size of their boards of directors over 25 members. The OCC also plans to make other amendments to parts 5, 7, 9, and 34, as well as certain technical amendments to parts 3, 6, and 28.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC plans to issue a final rule that will clarify or revise a number of application or notice procedures, including the standards for approval that would apply.  It permits Federal branches and agencies to operate with one license in the United States, with a license issued only for the initial Federal branch or agency, rather than requiring each office of a foreign bank to have a separate license.  It also permits a Federal branch to operate a loan production office as part of its branch license.  In addition, the OCC proposes to implement through its regulation a number of OCC interpretations regarding the capital equivalency deposit required of Federal branches and agencies.  Finally, the OCC proposes to revise several definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

Specifically, the interim capital treatment allows sponsoring banking organizations to remove consolidated ABCP program assets from their risk-weighted asset base for the purpose of calculating their risk-based capital ratios.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary of the Treasury, the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the FDIC, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the National Credit Union Administration issued a joint regulation implementing section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001. Section 326 requires a regulation that contains minimum standards that financial institutions must implement: 1) to verify the identity of any person seeking to open an account; 2) to maintain records of the information used to verify the person's identity; and 3) to determine whether the person appears on any lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations provided to the financial institution by any Government agency. The substantive requirements were codified as part of Treasury's BSA regulations located in 31 CFR part 103. In addition, the OCC added a cross-reference to 12 CFR part 21 clarifying the applicability of the final rule to national banks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC issued a final rule to amend part 24, its regulation governing national bank investments that are designed to promote the public welfare. The final rule updated the definition section of the regulation to reflect the additional types of public welfare investment structures that have come into use by national banks in recent years; set forth the method a national bank should use to measure the aggregate amount of its public welfare investments; and simplified the regulation's investment self-certification and prior approval processes. These changes simplify the regulation and reduce the burden associated with part 24 investments and thereby encourage additional public welfare investments by national banks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend part 41 of VA's regulations to add new subparts to codify revised OMB Circular A-133. The Circular provides standards for consistency and uniformity among Federal agencies for the audits of States, local governments, and nonprofit organizations expending Federal awards. 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[Regulations implementing provisions of the Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000, Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001, and the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 that affect VA education benefits programs.  These provisions include payment under Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program, Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Educational Assistance Program, and the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty Program for the costs of taking tests needed to obtain a license or certification.  They also include payment of benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty Program of the difference between the portion of tuition and fees covered by the tuition assistance program administered by the various military departments and the actual charges made by an educational institution.  The proposed rule also establishes clear guidelines consistent with the intent of Congress regarding the timing and scope of assistance VA will provide to a claimant who files a substantially complete application for benefits under any of the education programs VA administers or who tries to reopen a previously denied claim.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Compensation for Certain Cases of Bilateral Deafness</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its adjudication regulations concerning the level of hearing loss at which VA may pay disability compensation as if the combination of disabilities in both ears were service-connected, even though disability in one ear is service connected and disability in the other ear is not.  This amendment liberalizes the "paired organ" rule for bilateral deafness and provides a definition for the term "deafness."  This amendment is necessary to implement a recent legislative change. Rather than requiring total deafness in both ears to trigger the paired organ rule, the proposed amendment would allow VA to consider partial nonservice-connected hearing loss in one ear when evaluating disability caused by compensable service-connected hearing loss in the other ear.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs proposes to revise its rule regarding the effective date of awards based on certain types of evidence, when the evidence is submitted after a regional office has decided to claim.  The proposed revisions would implement a recent court decision and would improve the effectiveness of our regulations by consolidating existing concepts that are currently not contained in the same rule and would restate those concepts in plain language.  We believe that this proposal will make the rules easier to locate and apply.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its Compensation and Pension regulations that relate to setting the rates of payments, adjustments and resumptions of payments, and elections between benefits, which are currently found in part 3 of title 38 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and to relocate them in new part 5.  We propose to reorganize these regulations in a more logical order, add new section and paragraph headings, rewrite some sections, and divide some sections into one or more separate new sections.  VA's principal goal in rewriting and reorganizing the current regulation is to provide readers with clearer language and more easily understood regulatory requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

By way of this rulemaking, we propose removing the invalidated portions of the Board's development regulations and changing those regulations to provide that, with certain exceptions, the Board will remand a case to the agency of original jurisdiction when there is a need to clarify the evidence, correct a procedural defect, or take any other action deemed essential for a proper appellate decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>State Cemetery Grants: Aid to States for Establishment, Expansion, and Improvement of Veterans Cemeteries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule revises 38 CFR part 39 to amend Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations for the State Cemetery Grants Program to implement and update information on program requirements and the application process for participants. The amendment formalizes new standards and provides guidance on how States may obtain funding for grants to expand, establish, or improve State veterans cemeteries. The rule was published as proposed in the Federal Register to provide information to the public on how to apply for Federal funding for State veterans cemeteries. A 60-day public comment period was provided. It is subject to the requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act and E.O. 12866 because the rule is an interpretation of statute. The rule does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities; only those States that apply for funding may be direct beneficiaries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the VA medical regulations to codify VA policy regarding advanced 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>

The current rule, 38 CFR 20.901(a), makes an obsolete reference to the "Chief Medical Director," a title eliminated in 1992 and replaced by "Under Secretary for Health."  The revised rule would clarify that the Board may obtain opinions from VHA, not from the individual who happens to be the Under Secretary for Health.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Payment for Non-VA Physician Services Associated With Either Outpatient or Inpatient Care Provided at Non-VA Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical regulations concerning payment for non-VA physician services that are associated with either outpatient or inpatient care provided to eligible VA beneficiaries at non-VA facilities.  Currently, 38 CFR 17.56 requires all VA facilities to reimburse for non-VA physician services based upon the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) physician fee schedule in effect at the time the services are provided.  However, it has been determined that special circumstances exist in the State of Alaska.  Since a large portion of VA health care provided in Alaska is obtained from non-VA sources, this could negatively impact the quality of care provided veterans living in that State.  Therefore, to ensure that the amounts paid to physicians better represent the local cost to furnish a service and to achieve program cost reduction, VA is proposing through this document that an Alaska-specific payment methodology be established for inpatient and outpatient non-VA physician services with that State.]]></ABSTRACT>

VA believes that the global requirements in this regulation are no longer necessary to establish the credibility of most testimony offered in support of a claim for benefits.  Removal of this regulation will help to streamline the claims process without affecting program integrity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs is amending its medical regulations to establish that, in scheduling appointments for non-emergency outpatient medical services and admissions for inpatient hospital care, VA will give priority to veterans with service-connected disabilities rated 50 percent or greater and veterans needing care for a service-connected disability.  The Veterans' Eligibility Reform Act of 1996 authorizes VA to ensure that these two categories of veterans receive priority access to this type of care.  The intended effect of this rule is to carry out that authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

We propose to amend through regulation the changes to burial benefits that will allow VA to furnish an appropriate Government headstone or marker for the graves of eligible veterans buried in private cemeteries, regardless of whether the grave has been previously marked with a privately purchased marker.  The provision applies to eligible veterans who have died on or after September 11, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs(VA) rules governing certification of enrollment in approved courses for the training of veterans and other eligible persons under education benefit programs VA administers.  As part of the approval requirements, educational institutions designate an official of the institution (a VA certifying official) to certify the enrollment of veterans and other eligible persons to VA.  As a general rule, VA rules currently require that each branch or extension of an educational institution must perform the certifications and maintain records for veterans and other eligible persons at the branch or extension.  The proposed rule would expand current regulations to allow an educational institution to combine the certification functions at one or more of its locations, to include branches and extensions not located with the same State.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[By suspending enrollment of additional priority category 8 veterans, VA would avoid significant additional medical benefits costs and begin to bring demand in line with capacity, which will reduce the number of veterans on waiting lists.  Without action to suspend new enrollment, the cost projection for FY 2003 is $23.455 billion.  This is based on the projected average enrollment for FY 2003 of 6,991,405, together with the projected expenditures that would be needed to provide the medical benefits package to all enrollees.  Suspending new enrollment would reduce enrollment in priority category 8 by 164,367 in FY 2003, which is expected to grow to over 520,000 by FY 2005.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medication Prescribed by Non-VA Physicians</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends VA's medical regulations that govern the provision of medication to veterans when the medication is prescribed by non-VA physicians.  The rule provides that, in limited circumstances, VA may provide medication prescribed by a non-VA physician to veterans enrolled in VA's health-care system prior to July 25, 2003, if the veterans have requested an initial appointment for primary care in a VA health care facility before July 25, 2003, and were unable to obtain an initial appointment for primary care within 30 days.  The rule establishes specific requirements that veterans must meet to receive such medication, and it establishes limits on the types and quantities of medication VA may provide.  VA's intent is to assist enrolled veterans who have requested primary care appointments but who have not been able to obtain one within 30 days.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reservists&apos; Education: Revision of Eligibility Requirements for the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the regulations governing the administration of the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR) program.  The amendments implement provisions in the Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000 and the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003.  The Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000 contained a provision that changed an eligibility criterion concerning the time for obtaining a high school diploma.  The Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 expanded the MGIB-SR eligibility period from 10 years to 14 years for reservists who first become eligible after September 30, 1992.]]></ABSTRACT>

The intended effect of this action is to codify current standard VA practice by stating that recurrent tinnitus will be assigned only a single 10 percent evaluation, whether it is perceived in one ear, both ears, or somewhere in the head.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board of Veterans' Appeals may advance a case on its 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 dependents, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Increase in Rates Payable Under the Montgomery GI Bill--Active Duty and Survivors&apos; and Dependents&apos; Educational Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By statute, the rates of basic educational assistance under the Montgomery GI Bill--Active Duty and Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance programs must be adjusted each fiscal year. In accordance with the statutory formula, the regulations governing these programs for fiscal year 2002 are changed to show a 3.4 percent increase in these rates. In addition, the regulations are changed to show a separate increase for both programs effective January 1, 2002, due to an increase provided for in the Veterans Education and Benefits Expansion Act of 2001, Public Law No. 107-103. Public Law No. 107-103 also provides an increase in Montgomery GI Bill--Active Duty program rates for October 1, 2003, and October 1, 2004. The regulations are amended to show these two additional statutory rate increases.]]></ABSTRACT>

The certificate must be offered by an institution of higher education.  Payment for these courses was provided in the Veterans Education and Benefits Expansion Act of 2001.  We also will amend the regulations to remove the language "in connection with the Persian Gulf war" and "during the Persian Gulf war" to reflect the removal of this language from title 10 U.S.C.  The language was removed from sections in title 10 U.S.C. that address preservation of entitlement for those ordered to active duty in support of contingency operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends its adjudication regulations concerning certain awards of disability compensation and dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC).  Under the proposed amendment, certain awards of disability compensation or DIC made pursuant to liberalizing regulations concerning diseases presumptively associated with herbicide exposure may be made effective retroactive to the date of the claim or the date of a previously denied claim, even if such date is earlier than the effective date of the regulation establishing the presumption.  This amendment also provides that VA may pay to certain survivors or the estate of a deceased beneficiary any amounts the beneficiary was entitled to receive under the effective-date provisions of this rule but which were not paid prior to the beneficiary's death.  This amendment is necessary to reflect the requirements of court orders in a class-action case.]]></ABSTRACT>

This amendment is necessary to implement a decision of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs 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 chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

        <RULE_TITLE>Compensation and Pension Provisions of the Veterans Benefits Act of 2002</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1114(k) of title 38 U.S.C. authorizes VA to pay special monthly compensation if a woman veteran, as the result of service-connected disability, has suffered the anatomical loss of one or both breasts (including loss by mastectomy).  As part of the Veterans Benefits Act of 2002, Congress amended 38 U.S.C. 1114(k) to authorize special monthly compensation for loss in a woman of 25 percent or more of tissue from a single breast or both breasts in combination, including loss by mastectomy or partial mastectomy, or following receipt of radiation treatment of breast tissue. 

Section 1562 of title 38 U.S.C. authorizes VA to pay a monthly pension to Medal of Honor recipients, beginning as of the date of application for such benefit.  As a part of Veterans Benefits Act of 2002, Congress amended 38 U.S.C. 1562 to provide for an annual increase in the Medal of Honor pension effective December 1st of each year, beginning December 1, 2004, by a percentage equal to the cost of living adjustment of benefits paid under title II of the Social Security Act.  These amendments are necessary to make to the regulation conform with the statute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>E-Cycling Pilot Project for Region 3 States (ECOS); Streamlining RCRA Regulations To Encourage Reuse, Recycling, and Recovery of Electronic Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project is the result of an Environmental Council of States (ECOS) partnership agreement that EPA Region 3 entered into with the six State environmental agencies. As part of the partnership agreement, the region agreed to prepare a regional rule and to expedite its promulgation by using the direct final rulemaking process. By using this innovative approach to have a regional e-Cycling Pilot Project, EPA Region 3 and the Mid-Atlantic States (DE, DC, MD, PA, VA, WV) will be able to provide additional information about EPA's national proposed cathode ray tube (CRT) exclusion from the definition of solid waste. (CRTs are the video display components of televisions and computer monitors.) The regional e-Cycling Pilot Project could serve as a model for electronic recycling nationwide and the States believe that the recycling program will function effectively as a result of this regulatory flexibility.]]></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>

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 30 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>

        <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. This action will not affect the coal extraction activities exemption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Toxicity Equivalency (TEQ) Reporting and Quantity Data for Individual Members of the Dioxin and Dioxin-like Compounds Category Under EPCRA, Section 313</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) (i.e., the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)), dioxin and dioxin-like compounds are reported in units of grams for the category. This project will add toxic equivalency (TEQ) reporting for the category and quantity data for individual members of the category to the grams only reporting currently required for the category under EPCRA section 313. TEQs are a weighted quantity measure based on the toxicity of each dioxin congener relative to the most toxic dioxin congeners, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. The addition of TEQ reporting will allow better understanding of the releases and waste management quantities currently reported to the TRI for dioxin and dioxin-like compounds. TEQ reporting will also make it easier to compare TRI data on dioxin and dioxin-like compounds with other EPA activities which present data on dioxin and dioxin-like compounds in terms of TEQs. Several industry groups have written OMB supporting the addition of TEQ reporting to TRI.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposed to revise the Privacy Act regulation to exempt new systems and systems currently claiming to be exempt from the Act. Other revisions are generally minor and include revising the access provision so that a copy of a record can be obtained without a personal inspection; changing the time limit for appeals of denials from 10 days to 30 days; changing the process for accessing Privacy Act records and contesting Privacy Act records from the system manager to the Freedom of Information Office; and referring appeals from denials of system of records maintained by the Office of Inspector General to that office for decision. The proposed rule does not have implications on small businesses nor state/local/tribal government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cross-Media Electronic Reporting (ER) and Recordkeeping Rule (CROMERRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As proposed, the Cross-Media Electronic Reporting (ER) and Recordkeeping Rule (CROMERRR) was intended to provide a uniform legal framework for paperless electronic reporting and recordkeeping, including electronic signature/certification, across EPA's environmental compliance programs. Based on public comment, however, EPA now plans to focus on finalizing the electronic reporting components of the proposed CROMERRR, and to defer further action on the electronic recordkeeping components until a later time. Under current plans, the final electronic reporting (ER) rule will address electronic reporting by companies regulated under all of EPA's programs: air, water, pesticides, toxic substances, wastes, and emergency response. The final rule will remove existing regulatory obstacles to electronic reporting, and it would set requirements for companies choosing to report electronically. In addition, the rule would set the conditions for allowing electronic reporting under State, tribal or local environmental programs that operate under EPA authorization. The final ER rule is intended to make electronic reporting as simple, efficient, and cost-effective as possible for regulated companies, while ensuring that a transition from paper to electronic reporting does not compromise EPA's compliance and enforcement programs. Consequently, the Agency's strategy is to impose as few specific requirements as possible, and to keep those requirements neutral with respect to technology, so the rule will pose no obstacles to adopting new technologies as they emerge. To ensure that authorized programs at the State, tribal, and local levels meet EPA's electronic reporting goals, the final ER rule would specify a set of criteria that these program's must satisfy as they initiate electronic reporting. In response to public comments, EPA is also planning to include provisions for a streamlined process for EPA to review and approve authorized program revisions or modifications to allow electronic reporting. EPA is required by the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) of 1998 to make the option of electronic reporting and recordkeeping available, where practicable, to its regulated community by October 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published a Federal Register Notice of final decision (62 FR 68) to adopt the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the United States. This rulemaking initiates 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. Therefore, there should be no increased burden resulting from this action.]]></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 whether changes are needed to make them more efficient and effective. 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>

        <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 that manufacture or  process at least 25,000 pounds of a listed non-PBT chemical, or otherwise use 10,000 pounds of a listed non-PBT chemical.  The activity thresholds are lower for listed PBT chemicals.  In determining amounts of listed chemicals that are manufactured, processed or otherwise used, facilities may 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 personal use exemption, and the motor vehicle maintenance exemption. Also known as 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>

        <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>

        <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)-(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[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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA's Office of Acquisition Management conducted an internal assessment of its organization and determined that in some situations there were too many levels of review required prior to making contract awards and other contract-related decisions.  Consequently, steps were taken to revise internal policies to eliminate certain higher level reviews and give authority and responsibility for making decisions relating to contract actions to the qualified individuals most familiar with the contracting action. This rule is being issued as a direct final rule because the changes being made are not considered controversial and adverse comments are not expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Contract Bundling Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March of 2003, the President called on the Office of Management and Budget to prepare a strategy for unbundling Federal contracts. Federal contracting opportunities for Small Businesses have been dramatically reduced because of contract bundling. Contract bundling occurs when two or more procurement requirements for goods or services previously provided or performed under separate, smaller contracts is consolidated into a solicitation of offers for a single contract that is unlikely to be suitable for award to a small business concern.  OMB's plan will require all agencies to uniformly review requirements prior to contract bundling. In addition, the plan will require contract bundling reviews for task and delivery orders under multiple award contract vehicles. Senior agency management will be held accountable for eliminating unnecessary contract bundling and mitigating the effects of necessary and justified contract bundling. In acquisitions where contract bundling is determined to be necessary and justified, actions will be taken to mitigate the effects by increasing subcontracting opportunities for small business.  EPA's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization and OAM will be working closely to eliminate unnecessary contract bundling and mitigate the effects of necessary contract bundling. Additional agency guidance and training will be forthcoming.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to amend the EPA Acquisition Regulation (EPAAR) to add a clause requiring contractors (and subcontractors) to perform background checks and make suitability determinations for contractor (and subcontractor) employees performing services on or within Federally-owned or leased space and facilities, commercial space primarily occupied by Federal employees, and Superfund, Oil Pollution Act, and Stafford Act sites.  The clause will require contractors (and subcontractors) to perform background checks and make suitability determinations on their employees before the employees can perform on-site contract services for the EPA.  Contracting Officers will be allowed to waive the requirements of the clause on a case-by-case basis.  The process contemplated by the clause will allow EPA to mitigate any actual or potential threat to the public health, welfare and the environment.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Water Quality Standards for Indian Country Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is preparing an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) for Federal water quality standards for waters in Indian country for signature in November 2003.  EPA will publish the ANPRM in the Federal Register and mail a copy of it to each State and tribe.  The ANPRM will be a notice published in the Federal Register that describes the situation and requests comment on specific issues and possible regulatory text that EPA could use to promulgate Federal water quality standards for Indian country waters that do not currently have water quality standards in place under the Clean Water Act.  Without applicable standards, the Clean Water Act's mechanisms for protecting water quality in Indian country are limited.  The notice will openly and objectively present options and issues and will not predetermine any outcome.  The notice will be detailed enough that all parties can see what provisions EPA is contemplating and lead to thorough discussion of issues involved.  The notice will pose specific questions about the issues such as: (1) Should EPA promulgate "core" standards? Individually tailored standards?; (2) For tribes who wish to develop their own plan for establishing standards, which is preferred: an "opt out" or an "opt in" approach for Federal standards?; (3) Are there waters where absence of water quality standards is preventing a solution to water quality problems?; and (4) What are the potential impacts of having and not having water quality standards in place in Indian country?   A Federal promulgation would not prevent tribes from developing and adopting their own federally approved water quality standards where possible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Requirements for Municipal Wastewater Treatment During Wet Weather Conditions - Proposed Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[During periods of wet weather, wastewater flows received by municipal sewage treatment plants can significantly increase, which can create operational challenges for sewage treatment facilities. Where peak flows approach or exceed the design capacity of a treatment plant they can seriously reduce treatment efficiency or damage treatment units. In addition to hydraulic concerns, wastewater associated with peak flows may have low organic strength, which can also decrease treatment efficiencies.  EPA plans to invite comment on a proposed policy.  the proposed policy will provide a proposed interpretation of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements for peak wet weather discharges from a publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) that are comprised of effluent routed around biological treatment units and blended with the effluent from the biological units (or other advanced treatment units) prior to discharge, where the final discharge would meet permit effluent limitations based upon the secondary treatment regulations and any more stringent limitations necessary to meet water quality standards.  Regulatory agencies, municipal operators of POTWs, and representatives of environmental advocacy groups have expressed uncertainty about the appropriate regulatory interpretation for such situations.  EPA's intention would be that implementation of the proposed policy would ensure that NPDES requirements be applied in a nationally-consistent manner that improves the capacity, management, operation and maintenance of POTW treatment plants and collection systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sewage Sludge Round I</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 19, 1993 (58 FR 9248), EPA promulgated standards for the use or disposal of sewage sludge for the three major sewage sludge management practices of land application, surface disposal, and incineration. The part 503 standards impose sewage sludge quality requirements on sewage sludge preparers and management practices on land appliers of sewage sludge. The standards also have monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. Small entities are subject to these standards. Small entities are defined as wastewater treatment plants that treat domestic sewage with wastewater flow capacities of less than one million gallons per day (MGD), septage pumpers and haulers, and sewage sludge preparers and treaters that process and subsequently use/dispose of less than 290 dry metric tons of sewage sludge per year. On August 4, 1999 (64 FR 42551) the Part 503 standards were amended. One of the amendments allowed the permitting authority, at their discretion, to reduce the frequency of monitoring requirements for all wastewater treatment plants including small entities. EPA performed a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis when the standards were promulgated in 1993 which indicated that the rule could have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. EPA then used this analysis to develop the rule in a way that mitigated small entity impact to the extent possible while still fulfilling the Clean Water Act's section 405(d) mandate to protect public health and the environment with an adequate margin of safety. EPA is now initiating a review of the rule under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act to determine if the rule should be continued without change, or should be amended or rescinded, to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities. EPA will consider, and solicits comments, on the following factors: (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. Comments should be submitted to the Agency Contact listed below. Comments must be received 90 days after this Federal Register notice.  This action is not a rulemaking; it is a review of an existing rulemaking. Any new rulemaking activity resulting from this review will be published as a notice in future regulatory agendas.  In submitting comments, please reference Docket ID number OW-2003-0016, and follow the instructions provided in Unit H of the preamble to the Spring Regulatory Agenda.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures: New and Updated Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants Under the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would amend the "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants" under 40 CFR Part 136 and the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations under 40 CFR part 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 200.8 (which utilizes ICP/MS), new methods for chemical pollutants (e.g., Method 245.7), updated methods for chemical pollutants (e.g., Methods 300.1 and 200.7), including methods from voluntary consensus standards bodies (VCSBs), and from other external organizations submitted under EPA's alternate test procedure program. The new and updated methods include methods from organizations such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Standard Methods, and the Association of Official Analytical Methods-International.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This action will propose a new framework for accomplishing the water quality planning and management provisions of the Clean Water Act (CWA).  EPA believes that this framework based on the watershed approach will allow jurisdictions, i.e., States, territories and authorized tribes, to use the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to more effectively contribute to improving the Nation's water quality. The proposal recognizes that the major responsibility for water quality management resides with these jurisdictions.  The goal of the proposal is to provide jurisdictions with a tailored yet flexible approach to water quality management that meets the unique needs and situation of each jurisdiction and of local communities while at the same time ensuring that progress is made towards restoring the Nation's waters so that they attain and maintain water quality standards. The proposal revitalizes and strengthens the Continuing Planning Process (CPP) as a focus for a variety of jurisdiction's water quality planning and implementation activities. The proposal seeks to increase TMDL program flexibility and enhance stakeholder participation, promote opportunities for trading, and increase efficiencies in establishing, approving, and implementing TMDLs.  EPA is also proposing revisions to the NPDES permit regulations.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA publishes an Effluent Guidelines Program Plan every other year as required by Section 304(m) of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The Plan sets forth EPA's rationale for the selection of particular industries as candidates for new or revised effluent guidelines. EPA's Effluent Guidelines Program Plan for 2004/2005 will describe the effluent guidelines program and the effluent guidelines underway, as well as identifying existing guidelines that may be revised or new guidelines that may be developed. OW will use the 2004/2005 Plan as a strategic opportunity to help design the future of the technology-based pollution control program for industrial sources of water pollution.]]></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>

There is data that indicates that a number of ground water PWSs are contaminated with microorganisms of fecal origin that can and have caused illness.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 1412(b)(8) of the Safe Drinking Water Act requires that EPA develop regulations specifying the use of disinfectants for groundwater systems as necessary and "...(as part of the regulations) promulgate criteria...to determine whether disinfection shall be required as a treatment technique for any public water system served by groundwater."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[EPA considered four regulatory alternatives in the development of the GWR proposal; the proposed regulatory alternative (multi-barrier option), the sanitary survey option, the sanitary survey and triggered monitoring option, and the across-the-board disinfection option.  All options include the sanitary survey provision.  The sanitary survey  option would require the primacy agency to perform surveys every three to five years, depending on the type of system.  If any significant deficiency is identified, a system is required to correct it.  The sanitary survey and triggered monitoring option adds a source water fecal indicator monitoring requirement triggered by a total coliform positive sample in the distribution system.  The multi-barrier option, which was proposed by EPA, adds a hydrogeologic sensitivity assessment to these elements which, if a system is found to be sensitive, results in a routine source water fecal indicator monitoring requirement.  The multi-barrier option and the sanitary survey and triggered monitoring options are targeted regulatory approaches designed to identify wells that are fecally contaminated or are at a high risk for contamination.  These across-the-board disinfection option would require all systems to install treatment instead of trying to identify only the high risk systems; therefore, it has no requirement for sensitivity assessment or microbial monitoring.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA estimates the cost of the proposed GWR will be $183 million dollars per year (using a 3 percent discount rate).  More than half of the estimated costs are for corrective actions which systems will be required to take to fix or prevent fecal contamination.  The remainder of the costs are due to increased scope and frequency of sanitary surveys, hydrogeologic sensitivity assessments and source water monitoring.  System costs are expected to be $162 million per year for implementation of the GWR.  States are expected to incur costs of $21 million per year.  Cost estimates do not include land acquisition, public notification or the potential cost of illness due to exposure to disinfection by-products.  The total estimated value of these benefits is $205 million per year, $139 million from avoided illness and $66 million from avoided deaths.  These benefits are monetized based on a cost of illness and a value of statistical life.  These estimates do not include pain and suffering associated with viral and bacterial illness avoided outbreak response costs (such as the costs of providing public health warnings and boiling drinking water), and possibly the avoided costs of averting behavior and reduced uncertainty about drinking water quality.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[EPA estimates that currently over 200,000 illnesses and 18 deaths occur each year due to viral and bacterial contamination of public groundwater systems.  Children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised are particularly sensitive to the waterborne pathogens and account for between 20 and 30 percent of the illnesses and deaths.  As proposed, the GWR is expected to reduce the total number of illness by 115,000 and the total number of deaths by 11 each year.  The GWR in conjunction with the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR), Total Coliform Rule (TCR) the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR), the Filter Backwash Rule (FBR) and the Long Term Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rules (LT1ESWTR & LT2ESWTR) will provide protections to the consumers of public water supply systems from waterborne pathogens.]]></RISKS>

        <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>Round 2 Standards for the Use or Disposal of Sewage Sludge</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking concerns dioxin and dioxin-like compounds in sewage sludge that is applied to the land.  Section 405 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires EPA to promulgate regulations providing guidelines for the use and disposal of sewage sludge, including numeric standards for toxic pollutants which may adversely affect human health and the environment and management practices.  EPA promulgated the first round of regulations, which set standards for toxic pollutants in sewage sludge for which information was available and management practices for land application, surface disposal and incineration of sewage sludge.  (58 FR 9248, Feb. 19, 1993).  EPA proposed the second round of regulations, for other toxic pollutants not regulated in the first round, of regulations, for other toxic pollutants not regulated in the first round, in December 1999 (64 FR 72045, Dec. 23, 1999).  The proposed rule would establish a limit of 300 nanograms of TEQ dioxins per kilogram of dry sewage sludge for land application along with monitoring requirements.  The proposal also proposed to take no regulatory action with respect to dioxins in sewage sludge that is disposed of at a surface disposal site or incinerated in a sewage sludge incinerator.  EPA signed a final notice of its determination not to further regulate for dioxins in sewage sludge that is disposed of at a surface disposal site or incinerated in a sewage sludge incinerator, and stated that final action on the proposal to amend the land application rule will be published separately at a later date.  (66 FR 66228, Dec. 21, 2001). On June 12, 2002 at 67 FR 40554, EPA published a notice of data availability in which EPA presented the results of a revised risk assessment and an analytical survey of dioxins in sewage sludge. The final action on the land application rule is subject to a consent decree deadline of October 17, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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 survey data, which was collected under the Information Collection Rule (ICR), Supplemental Surveys to the ICR, and additional research projects, has provided a substantially more comprehensive and complete picture of the occurrence of waterborne pathogens than was available previously. EPA has also used 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.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The purpose of the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) is to reduce health risks posed by cryptosporidium and other microbial pathogens in drinking water.  Cryptosporidium is a protozoa which causes cryptosporidiosis, a severe gastrointestinal disease.  While cryptosporidiosis is generally self limiting in healthy individuals, it can be fatal for people with compromised immune systems.  Cryptosporidium is removed to a degree by filtration but is highly resistant to conventional drinking water disinfectants, including chlorine and chloramines.  EPA has recently collected a significant amount of data on occurrence of cryptosporidium in drinking water sources through the Information Collection Rule (ICR) and ICR Supplemental Surveys.  These data indicate that a subset of drinking water systems have an unacceptably high risk for cryptosporidium in their treated water.  The LT2ESWTR is intended to identify systems at high risk for cryptosporidium through monitoring and prescribe an appropriate level of additional treatment.  In addition, the LT2ESWTR will be promulgated simultaneously with the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBPR).  This will help to ensure that drinking water utilities do not compromise adequate microbial protection while they take steps to control DBPs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 1412(b)(7)(A) of SDWA allows the Administrator to promulgate a national primary drinking water regulation that requires the use of a treatment technique in establishing a maximum contaminant level if the Administrator makes a finding that it is not feasible to ascertain the level of the contaminant.  The MCLG for Cryptosporidium is zero and it is not feasible for public water systems to measure Cryptosporidium concentrations in treated water.  Consequently, under Section 1412(b)(1)(A), the Administrator may establish a treatment technique for Cryptosporidium if this presents a meaningful opportunity for health risk reduction.   Although the 1996 Amendments do not require EPA to finalize a Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule along with the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, Congress did emphasize the importance of ensuring proper balance between microbial and DBP risks and, therefore, EPA believes it is important to finalize these rules together.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[EPA is considering various rule scenarios to reduce risk from cryptosporidium.  These scenarios include treatment requirements that would apply to all systems, such as requiring all conventional plants to achieve 2-log inactivation of cryptosporidium.  Alternative scenarios have involved assigning systems to bins based on mean crypto source water concentrations.  Additional treatment requirements would then depend on the bin to which a system was assigned.  Issues associated with the binning approach include: amount of monitoring necessary to assign systems to bins, appropriate crypto concentrations to demarcate bin boundaries, and appropriate level of additional treatment for a given bin.  EPA is exploring analyses that evaluate the impact of these issues on costs and benefits.  EPA has also considered options to reduce the impact on small systems.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA estimates that the LT2ESWTR, as proposed will have an annual cost of $73 to $111 million per year.  The majority of people (approximately 67 percent) are served by public water systems that use a surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water.  Thus, a large number of people will benefit from the LT2ESWTR.  EPA estimates that the proposed LT2ESWTR would prevent up to 1,020,000 cases of cryptosporidiosis annually with an economic benefit of up to $1.4 billion.  In addition, EPA has recently identified UV light as a technology that can achieve high levels of cryptosporidium inactivation at relatively low cost.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Approximately 67 percent of consumers are served by drinking water systems that use surface water sources or ground water under the direct influence of surface water.  Survey data indicate that cryptosporidium is prevalent in drinking water sources and current levels of treatment may not be adequate to control highly resistant pathogens like cryptosporidium.  Cryptosporidiosis is a potentially fatal disease in people with weak immune systems, such as infants, the elderly, people with AIDS, and people taking immune suppressing drugs like cancer and transplant patients.  By requiring additional treatment for those systems with the highest concentrations of cryptosporidium in their source waters, EPA expects to significantly reduce current risk.]]></RISKS>

        <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 nontransient noncommunity 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 analyzed 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, provide a substantially more comprehensive and complete picture of the occurrence of DBPs and microbiological pathogens than was available previously. EPA also used 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; an Agreement in Principle was signed in September 2000 outlining the proposed rule options.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The purpose of the Stage 2 Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBPR) is to reduce potential health risks posed by disinfection byproducts (DBPs).  Certain DBPs have been shown in laboratory tests to be carcinogens or to cause adverse reproductive and developmental health effects.  In addition, epidemiology studies have indicated that exposure to chlorinated water may increase the risk of bladder cancer, miscarriage, and certain developmental defects.  The Stage 2 DBPR is designed to reduce peak events in DBP exposure in order to mitigate these potential health risks.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 1412(b)(2)(C) of SDWA, as amended in 1996, requires EPA to promulgate a Stage 2 Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Rule no later than July 14, 2003.  Although the 1996 Amendments do not require EPA to finalize a Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule along with the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, Congress did emphasize the importance of ensuring proper balance between microbial and DBP risks and, therefore, EPA believes it is important to finalize these rules together.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[EPA is considering various rule scenarios to achieve reductions in disinfection byproduct exposure.  These alternatives include: decreasing the standard set in the Stage 1 DBPR (0.080 mg/L total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and 0.060 mg/L the sum of 5 haloacetic acids (HAA5)) by half and maintaining a running annual average compliance calculation; maintaining 80/60 TTHM/HAA5 standards but revising the compliance calculation to a stricter locational running annual average; setting the 80/60 TTHM/HAA5 standard as a never to be exceeded maximum; and revising the standard for bromate which is currently 0.010 mg/L.  EPA has also considered options to reduce the impact on small systems.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA estimates that the Stage 2 DBPR will have an annual economic impact of $59-65 million.  Over 200 million people are served by public water systems that apply a disinfectant (e.g., chlorine) to water in order to provide protection against microbial contaminants and potentially exposed to DBPs.  Thus, a large number of people will benefit from the Stage 2 DBPR.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Over 200 million people are served by public water systems that apply a disinfectant (e.g., chlorine) to water in order to provide protection against microbial contaminants.  Due to the large number of people exposed to DBPs, there is a substantial concern for any risks associated with DBPs that may impact public health.  EPA estimates that the Stage 2 DBPR will decrease exposure to DBPs on average but more importantly, the rule will significantly reduce exposure to peak occurrences of DBPs.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The effluent guidelines would apply to some construction activities associated with new development, as well as to those associated with redevelopment activities. The regulations would address storm water runoff from construction sites during the active phase of construction. 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 proposed design criteria for erosion and sediment controls. These requirements would be implemented in NPDES storm water permits issued to construction site owners and operators.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The 2000 National Water Quality Inventory Report to Congress indicates that 39 percent of assessed rivers and streams are impaired for one or more uses.  Siltation is the leading pollutant causing water quality problems in 31 percent of these impaired rivers and streams.  Storm water discharges from construction and development projects contain sediment that contribute to water quality impairment.  There is currently wide variation in existing requirements across the nation designed to control construction site storm water discharges.  The effluent guidelines would provide a national set of criteria for the selection, design, installation, and maintenance of erosion and sediment controls to control storm water discharges from construction sites.  These requirements are expected to significantly reduce the discharge of sediment from construction sites and improve water quality.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

The costs include capital costs to install erosion and sediment controls as well as operation and maintenance costs.  The benefits from the effluent guidelines are expected to occur by reducing discharges of sediment to water bodies.

        <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 of regulatory oversight, EPA will examine available technologies for the control of solids which in turn control other pollutants, primarily nutrients. This action was formerly titled Aquaculture.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Meat and Poultry Products Point Source Category (Revisions)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency proposed revisions to the effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the Meat and Poultry Products Point Source Category in February 2002. The current regulations, at 40 CFR 432, are more than 20 years old and establish limitations and standards for only conventional pollutants. The current regulations do not establish national regulations for ammonia nitrogen discharges associated with slaughterhouses/packinghouses (Subparts A-D). Nutrients like ammonia may pose a water quality problem for impaired streams.  Revisions to the current regulations may also include effluent limitations for poultry processing, which is not currently covered by any effluent guideline.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations: Approval of Additional Method for the Detection of Coliforms and E. Coli. in Drinking Water</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Water will revise the National Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations to approve the Colitag Method for the detection of coliforms and E. Coli. in finished drinking water. This promulgation adds an additional analytical method to Part 141 to monitor for total coliforms and E. Coli in finished drinking water, for which other methods have been approved previously. It does not withdraw any currently approved methods, nor does it add nor alter any current monitoring requirement. This rule provides the ability to use an additional standardized method, offering water systems and their laboratories further operational flexibility. On March 7, 2002, EPA published "Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation: Approval of Analytical Method for Aeromonas; National Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations: Approval of Analytical Methods for Chemical and Microbiological Contaminants; Proposed Rule." In this proposed rule, EPA sought comments on the proposed promulgation of multiple industry-developed methods, one of which was the Colitag method, a "Test for Detection and Identification of Coliforms and E. coli Bacteria in Drinking Water and Source Water as Required in National Primary Drinking Water Regulations." This method was proposed for the analysis of total coliforms and E. coli in finished drinking water samples. EPA has since received additional information from CPI International, developers of Colitag, relevant to the performance of the method. Such information included additional data as well as a re-evaluation of previously reported data included in the public record that supported the proposed approval of Colitag. On December 2, 2002 EPA invited public comments on this additional information in "Notice of Data Availability; National Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations: Approval of Analytical Methods for Chemical and Microbiological Contaminants; Additional Information on the Colitag Method."  Based on the evaluation of this additional information and review of public comments, the Agency now plans to promulgate the Colitag Method.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sludge: Agency Response to the National Research Council Report on Biosolids Applied to Land and the Results of EPAs Review of Existing Sewage Sludge Regulations.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Register notice will announce the final results of the review of regulations under the Clean Water Act (CWA) governing the use and disposal of sewage sludge pursuant to section 405(d)(2)(C) of the CWA.  The purpose of the review is to identify additional toxic pollutants that may warrant future regulatory action.  As part of this review, EPA commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academy of Sciences to independently review the technical basis of the chemical and pathogen regulations applicable to sewage sludge that is applied to land.  The NRC study took place between January 2001 and June 2002.  In July 2002, the NRC published a report entitled "Biosolids Applied to Land: Advancing Standards and Practices" in response to the EPA's request.  The NRC identified a need to update the scientific basis of part 503 and provided approximately 60 recommendations.  The notice will also announce a final strategy explaining how EPA plans to respond to the recommendations in the NRC report and explains the rationale for the strategy. 

The purpose of the notice is to meet the requirements of a settlement agreement.  Over the past decade, citizens and environmental organizations have raised questions over the adequacy of the chemical and pathogen standards for protecting human health. In a side agreement to a consent decree modification in Gearhart v. Whitman, EPA agreed to sign a notice for publication in the Federal Register by January 8, 2004, to announce the final results of the review under the CWA  and the final planned strategy for responding to the NRC's recommendations. 

The publication of this Federal Register notice will be an important step in setting new priorities for the biosolids program for research and future program development activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Guidelines and Standards: Recodification of Various Effluent Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Several years ago, the Office of Water conducted a comprehensive review of effluent guidelines and removed from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) provisions contained in a number of regulations that were obsolete or redundant (FR 60 33926, June 29, 1995). In addition to removing these provisions, EPA's Office of Water identified additional opportunities for further streamlining some of the effluent guidelines. 

This action would recodify the effluent limitations and standards for 12 point source categories without making any legally substantive changes in the requirements. The revised and shorter format will enable Federal, State and local regulators and the regulated community to more easily read, understand and implement the regulations. By reducing the number of pages in Title 40, the new format will also afford significant long-term savings in the annual cost of printing these regulations. 

The point source categories which would be recodified by this action include: Dairy Products Processing (part 405), Grain Mills Manufacturing (part 406), Fruits and Vegetable Processing (part 407), Canned and Preserved Seafood (part 408), Sugar Processing (part 409), Textile Mills (part 410), Cement Manufacturing (part 411), Electroplating (part 413), Inorganic Chemicals (part 415), Soaps and Detergent Manufacturing (part 417), Fertilizer Manufacturing (part 418), and Petroleum Refining (part 419). The revisions would also expand the list of general definitions in section 401.11.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to promulgate a method for compliance monitoring of uranium that uses an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technology. This technology has gained wide acceptance over the past decade, and should reduce costs for analyzing for uranium and provide a greater level of accuracy. States, laboratories and water systems have asked the Agency to approve this analytical method.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Radon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed regulations for radon in drinking water which provide flexibility in how to manage the health risks from radon, in both drinking water and in indoor air.  States and systems 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.  The proposal was based on the unique framework in the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).  The proposed regulation would provide two options to states and water systems for reducing public health risks from radon.  Under the first option, states may 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).  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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Shore Protection Act, Section 4103(b) Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Streamlining the General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 would 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>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. EPA is pursuing approval of new test procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NPDES Streamlining Rule -- Round III</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to issue a rulemaking package 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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering developing a notice of proposed rulemaking that would propose a broad-based regulatory framework for sanitary sewer collection systems under the NPDES program.  The Agency is considering proposing standard permit conditions for inclusion in permits for publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and municipal sanitary sewer collection systems.  The standard requirements would 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.  The Agency is also considering proposing a regulatory framework for applying NPDES permit conditions, including applicable standard permit conditions, to municipal satellite collection systems.  Municipal satellite collection systems are sanitary sewers owned or operated by a municipality that conveys wastewater to a POTW operated by a different municipality. EPA is also considering clarifying NPDES requirements, including secondary treatment requirements, for discharges from peak excess flow treatment facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>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>

        <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[This regulatory action would 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). 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. The ML is defined in analytical methods and is generally set at 3.18 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>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 (FRG) 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>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 1500 projects totaling over $4.1 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>

        <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 at a minimum: (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; (5) primary metals manufacturing facilities; and (6) oil and gas extraction 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 a cooling system and then pumped back out with significant injury or mortality to the entrained organisms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title XIV: Certain Alaska Cruise Ship Operations (HR 4577) authorizes EPA to establish effluent standards for black and gray water from cruise ships into the waters of Alaska, the Alexander Archipelago, and the Kachemak Bay National Marine Estuarine Research Reserve. EPA  will develop those standards based on the best available scientific information on the environmental effects of the regulated discharges and the availability of new technologies for wastewater treatment. The implementation of these regulations will reduce the environmental impacts of cruise ships operating in the waters of Alaska, the Alexander Archipelago, and the Kachemak Bay National Marine Estuarine Research Reserve.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Revisions to the Total Coliform Monitoring and Analytical Requirements and Additional Distribution System Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has determined the need to revise the Total Coliform Rule (TCR), as published in the July 18, 2003 Federal Register (68FR42907). EPA intends revisions to the TCR to maintain or provide for greater human health protection than under the existing TCR. A Federal Advisory Committee recommended that EPA, as part of the TCR 6-year review process, "initiate a process for addressing cross-connection control and backflow prevention requirements and consider additional distribution system requirements related to significant health risks."The TCR, promulgated in 1989, protects human health by requiring microbial monitoring in drinking water distribution systems. The TCR does not include distribution system corrective or protective requirements to reduce contamination from coliforms and other contaminants. EPA has gained a better understanding of distribution system impacts on human health and, therefore, intends to strenghten the TCR by adding distribution system requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as amended in 1996 requires EPA to publish a list of contaminants that are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems, and which may require regulation under the SDWA every five years. The purpose of this action is to prepare and publish the third Contaminant Candidate List (CCL). In preparing the third list, EPA will evaluate the classification approach recommended by the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council (NRC) and, if possible, use the NRC approach to identify and narrow a very broad universe of potential contaminants into a smaller, more focused list for future CCLs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Drinking Water: Regulatory Determinations Regarding Contaminants on the Second Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) require 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 Contaminant Candidate List (CCL), was published in the Federal Register on March 2, 1998 (63 FR 10247). The second CCL should be published in 2003. In addition to publishing the drinking water CCL, the SDWA also requires the Agency to select five or more contaminants from the second CCL and determine, by August 2006, whether to regulate these contaminants with a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR). In order to make a determination of whether or not to develop an 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 an NPDWR; 2) develop guidance (e.g., Health or Consumer Advisory); or 3) determine no action is necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clean Water Act Definition of Waters of the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action involves joint guidance and/or rulemaking by EPA and the Department of the Army to clarify the jurisdictional status under the Clean Water Act (CWA) of isolated intrastate non-navigable waters and wetlands. The existing regulations contain language asserting jurisdiction over such waters when their use degradation or destruction would or could affect interstate commerce.  In a January 9, 2001, U.S. Supreme Court opinion, Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (SWANCC), the Court held that the scope of "waters of the United States" protected under the CWA did not extend to isolated intrastate non-navigable waters based solely on presence of migratory birds.  While SWANCC did not actually invalidate any regulations under the CWA, the decision does establish limitations on their use.  Action to address CWA jurisdiction in light of SWANCC would help clarify what waters are properly subject to CWA jurisdiction and afford them full protection through an appropriate focus of Federal and State resources in a manner consistent with the Act.  On January 10, 2003, following coordination with the Department of Justice, General Counsels from EPA and Army jointly signed clarifying guidance regarding the Supreme Court's decision in SWANCC.   That  guidance was published together with a joint advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) that solicited public comment, as well as information and data, on issues associated with the definition of  "waters of the U.S." in light of SWANCC.  (68 FR 1991, January 15, 2003).  Issuance of the ANRPM was an extra measure, not required by the Administrative Procedure Act, to provide an early opportunity for public comment on this important issue before the agencies decide how to proceed.  We received over 130,000 comments on the ANPRM by the close of the April 16th comment period.  The comments reflect a wide breadth of opinion, ranging from assertions that SWANCC affects only jurin based solely on use by migratory birds that cross State lines to assertions that SWANCC limits CWA jurisdiction to navigable-in-fact waters and those tributaries and wetlands shown to have an actual effect on navigable capacity.  Some commenters supported further rulemaking to clarify CWA jurisdiction, some favored clarification through use of guidance instead, while others supported no action at all or withdrawal of the current guidance.  Issuance of the ANPRM did not presuppose any particular substantive or procedural outcome, and we are carefully considering the comments received in order to evaluate how to proceed.  Clarification of CWA jurisdiction in light of SWANCC would be of interest to a number of entities (e.g., industrial, commercial, governmental) that discharge pollutants, including dredged or fill material, to isolated intrastate nonnavigable surface waters or wetlands.  Small entities or State/local/tribal governments might be affected if they either are regulated under or help administer CWA programs whose jurisdiction is dependent upon the meaning of "Waters of the United States," e.g., sections 402, 404, and 311.  Significant impacts on such entities or governments are not anticipated, as any jurisdictional clarification would be consistent with the Supreme Court ruling.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for the Analysis of Miscellaneous Metals, Anions, and Volatile Organics Under the Clean Water Act, Phase One</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 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>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 nonregulated contaminants every 5 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; Naphthalene; 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 action is necessary.]]></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 provide fo the greater protection of the health of persons.  EPA may identify regulation changes that will streamline or reduce existing requirements without lessening the level of public health protection.  As a part of this action, EPA did two things:  (1) developed an overall protocol for conducting each six year review; and (2) reviewed 69 NPDWRs published prior to 1996.  The remaining NPDWRs published prior to 1996 (e.g., arsenic, radionuclides, most microbiological NPDWRs) have been, or are being, reviewed in the context of recent or ongoing rulemakings.  No new requirements were imposed by this action.  The purpose of the review was to determine whether new data, technology, or other factors exist that justify revisions to existing NPDWRs.  The outcome of the review was a Federal Register notice making available the results of the Agency's review and a planned rulemaking schedule for the regulations that the Agency believes are appropriate candidates for revision at that 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimizing Adverse Environmental Impacts from Cooling Water Intake Structures Under Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act -- Phase I Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will make three minor technical corrections to the final rule implementing section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) for new facilities that use water withdrawn from rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, oceans or other waters of the United States for cooling purposes. (EPA published the final rule in the Federal Register on December 18, 2001, at 66 FR 65256.) The final rule established national technology-based performance requirements applicable to the location, design, construction, and capacity of cooling water intake structures at new facilities. The regulatory language did not correctly reflect EPA's intent in three minor instances. Therefore, EPA will make three minor changes to the regulatory text: (1) Delete inadvertent requirement that quarterly monitoring occur at a low-flow condition that occurs once every ten years; and (2) clarify that the permit director will consider information from fishery agencies about whether certain requirements should be put in a permit, clarify that an applicant delete unnecessary cross references in the alternative requirements provision to Track 2 and unnecessary cross references to the alternative requirements provision in the Track 2 provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Guidelines and Standards for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These amendments to the final rule would achieve the following. First, EPA is clarifying the date on which a discharger subject to the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and the Pretreatment Standards for New Sources (PSNS) promulgated in earlier regulations would be subject to the more stringent effluent limitations and pretreatment standards established in the 1998 regulation by specifying the 10 year prior date by which a new source under the previous (1983) standard would be subject to the new Best Available Technology (BAT) limitations from existing source instead of using the more vague term of "10 years." Second, this rule reestablishes a minimum concentration for the monthly average BOD5 limitation in this section that EPA inadvertently omitted from the 1998 regulation. Next, the amendments correct an error in EPA's pass-through analysis of the 1998 rule by deleting methyl Cellosolve (2- methoxyethanol) from the pretreatment standards in two subcategories and from a table in the Appendix. Finally, the Agency is making other non-substantive editorial and format changes such as shortening the authority to conform to more recent guidelines from the Federal Register Office, shortening tables by removing redundancy, and adding definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAPS: Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 30, 1999, EPA promulgated standards to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants from incinerators, cement kilns, and lightweight aggregate kilns that burn hazardous waste (referred to as the phase I rule). A number of parties, representing interests of both industry and the environmental community, sought judicial review of the rule. The Court ruled against EPA and vacated the phase I rule. On October 19, 2001, EPA, together with all petitioners, filed a joint motion asking the Court to stay the issuance of its mandate to allow them time to develop interim standards. These stop-gap interim standards were promulgated on February 13 and 14, 2002. They replace the vacated standards temporarily, until revised replacement standards are promulgated by June 15, 2005. This rulemaking will propose and finalize the Phase I replacement standards. Also, in this rulemaking effort, we are developing emission standards for hazardous waste burning industrial, institutional, commercial boilers, process heaters, and hydrochloric acid production furnaces. These sources are referred to as phase II sources because the standards were originally scheduled to be promulgated after phase I source standards were finalized; however, a separate consent decree now requires us to finish developing emission standards for the phase II sources by the same date as those for phase I (June 15, 2005). EPA is developing options for calculating the emission standards that are considered to be consistent with both the statutory requirements and the opinion of the Court. Potential costs and benefits are not yet available, because emission standards must be selected before the cost/benefit analyses begin.pI and phase II sources in December of 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 112 of the Clean Air Act requires that the EPA promulgate regulations requiring the control of hazardous air pollutants from major and certain area sources. The control of hazardous air pollutants is achieved through promulgation of emission standards under sections 112(d) and (f) and, in appropriate circumstances, work practice standards under section 112(h). 

On September 30, 1999 EPA promulgated standards to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants from incinerators, cement kilns, and lightweight aggregate kilns that burn hazardous waste (referred to as the phase I rule).

            <RISKS><![CDATA[For the 1999 rule, we estimated the avoided incidence of mortality and morbidity associated with reductions in particulate matter (PM) emissions. Estimates of cases of mortality and morbidity avoided were made for children and the elderly, as well as the general population, using concentration-response functions derived from human epidemiological studies. Morbidity effects included respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses requiring hospitalization, as well as other illnesses not requiring hospitalization, such as acute and chronic bronchitis and acute upper and lower respiratory symptoms. For this rule, we are comparing characteristics of the sources covered by the 1999 rule to the sources covered by the replacement rule that are related to risk. These characteristics include emissions, stack characteristics, meteorology, and population. Based on the results of the statistical comparisons, we will infer whether the risks will be about the same, less than, or greater than the 1999 rule. Risk inferences for boilers and HCl production furnaces will be based on comparisons with incinerators for the 1999 rule.]]></RISKS>

        <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. EPA will propose item designations in CPG5. Shortly afterwards, EPA will issue final item designations in CPG4. EPA recently published a Notice of Data Availability for a prospective designation of nylon carpet.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Response to a Petition Requesting Deletion of Phosmet From the Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS) List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has received a petition requesting that phosmet be removed from the list of Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS) list under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). The petitioner claims that phosmet does not meet the acute toxicity criteria for listing. EPA has proposed a rule to delete the chemical from the EHS list and is seeking public comment on the acute toxicity data reviewed and EPA's proposal. 

EPA considered conducting additional toxicity testing to solve a dispute involving some questionable toxicity data. However, the petitioner conducted new tests; the results of which EPA considered in its decision to propose a deletion of the chemical. 

Since the action involves delisting phosmet (a pesticide) from a regulated list of chemicals, EPA anticipates no additional costs on regulated entities, which include the petitioner, distributors of pesticides and farm uses of the pesticides. This action, if finalized, would reduce the regulatory burden for facilities that handle phosmet onsite, as well as Local Emergency Planning Committees, of complying with the emergency planning and notification requirements for the chemical phosmet under EPCRA sections 302, 303, and 304.]]></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 promote other policy advances in State/tribal/EPA interaction.]]></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. 

The Federal role is to establish minimum protective criteria (part 258). This proposal will allow additional flexibility for facility managers of municipal landfills to achieve compliance with the criteria. By providing additional flexibility this proposal will reduce potential costs while providing alternative means of environmental protection.]]></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 nonhazardous waste regulations under subtitle D of the RCRA statute. The regulations will apply to landfill and surface impoundment facilities that manage coal combustion wastes generated by steam electric power generators, i.e., electric utilities and independent power producers. This action results from EPA's regulatory determination for fossil fuel combustion wastes (see 65 FR 32214, May 22, 2000), which concluded that waste management regulations under RCRA are appropriate for certain coal combustion wastes. The utility industry has made significant improvement in its waste management practices over recent years, and most state regulatory programs are similarly improving. However, public comment and other analyses have convinced the Agency that coal combustion wastes could pose significant 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, 62 percent of existing utility impoundments do not have groundwater monitoring; thus, their impact on ground and surface waters cannot be evaluated in light of numerous damage cases identified by the Agency that involve management of these wastes. The intended benefits of this action will be to prevent contamination or damage to ground waters and surface waters, thereby avoiding risk to human health and the environment, including ecological risks. The Agency is currently analyzing the human health and ecological risks, costs, and economic impact of this action as it develops the proposed regulation. The Agency has considered alternatives to this action, including regulating these wastes as hazardous wastes under subtitle C of RCRA, but has rejected this approach as discussed in the regulatory determination (see 65 FR 32214, May 22, 2000). EPA has also considered issuing guidance instead of regulations to industry and state and local governments to focus on these remaining waste management issues but concluded that there will probably continue to be some gaps in practices and controls and is concerned at the possibility that these will go undressed. The Agency also believes the timeframe for improvement of current practices is likely to be longer in the absence of federal regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

There is sufficient evidence that adequate controls may not be in place, including for ground water monitoring, lining of waste management units, and mismanagement of the wastes in sand and gravel pits and similar geologies.

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The rules that are being developed pursuant to RCRA subtitle D are not mandated by statute or court order. Rather, the Agency concluded from its finding in the required RCRA section 3001 (b) determination that, while RCRA subtitle C regulations for hazardous wastes are not warranted, RCRA nonhazardous waste regulations are necessary. The nonhazardous waste regulations will address gaps in existing Federal and State requirements for the management of these wastes in order to protect human health and the environment.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Agency has considered regulating these wastes as hazardous wastes under subtitle C of RCRA or a nonhazardous wastes under subtitle D of RCRA. The Agency also has considered issuing guidance instead of regulations to industry and state and local government to focus on the key waste management issues. However, the Agency concluded that some gaps in waste management practices would likely continue and is concerned that these gaps would continue to go unaddressed. The Agency concluded that non-hazardous waste regulations under subtitle D of RCRA are most appropriate.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The costing, economics, and benefits analyses are under study pending results of the risk assessment. Costs will include direct costs to the generators of coal combustion wastes for management according to the regulation. Benefits will include damage avoidance to ground water and surface water resources, including sources of drinking water that could affect human health. No additional information is available at this time.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The Agency has a comprehensive risk analysis underway to determine the cross-media impacts of managing these wastes, with a focus on impacts to ground waters and surface waters and their human health implications. The risk analysis will also identify ecological impacts of waste management. While the risk analysis is nearing completion, no quantitative measures of risk are available yet, and, thus, no information of risk magnitude or risk reduction efforts is available at this time.]]></RISKS>

        <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>Increase Metals Reclamation From F006 Waste Streams</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Many metal finishers and other industrial sectors generate an electroplating sludge as part of their production process that is amenable to recycling, i.e., the sludge contains economically recoverable amounts of metals such as copper, nickel, zinc, etc. Currently, these sludges (F006) are listed hazardous wastes subject to RCRA regulations. Many generators continue to send these sludges for treatment and disposal when they could be recycled. Similarly, generators currently sending their sludges for recycling receive no economic benefit for this practice. Since the mid-1990's, EPA has been working with industry and the States to create incentives for safe recycling and has promulgated rules to foster this practice. However, EPA is interested in exploring whether further regulatory changes are warranted. 

EPA is currently evaluating several options that would provide regulatory relief to generators and handlers of F006. All options would reduce regulatory costs to generators and handlers relative to the current RCRA subtitle C regulatory program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards and Practices for Conducting &quot;All Appropriate Inquiry&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (the Brownfields Law) amended a number of provisions in CERCLA including section 101(35)(B) and includes, among other things, new provisions regarding limitations on CERCLA liability for certain landowners. As part of these provisions, the Brownfields Law addresses the need for bona fide prospective purchasers, contiguous property owners, and innocent landowners to conduct "all appropriate inquiry" into prior ownership and use of the property at the time the party acquires the property. 

In the Brownfields Law, Congress directed EPA to promulgate regulations establishing standards and practices for conducting "all appropriate inquiry." Section 101 (35)(B)(iii) of the law includes criteria that EPA is required to address in setting these standards and practices. This regulation will establish the Federal standards for conducting "all appropriate inquiry," pursuant to the Act. Recipients of Brownfields Assessment Grants will be regulated by the final action.  Purchasers of contaminated properties who wish to assert certain limitations on CERCLA liability may choose to follow the promulgated procedures and standards. 

EPA is developing the Federal standard for all appropriate inquiry under a negotiated rulemaking process. EPA established a FACA committee charged with negotiating a Federal standard in accordance with the statutory criteria.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 101(35)(B)(ii) of the law, Congress directs the EPA Administrator to establish (by regulation) standards and practices for the purpose of satisfying the requirement to carry out all appropriate inquiries.

Other than these grant recipients, the standards will be applicable to purchasers of contaminated properties who wish to assert certain limitations on CERCLA liability.

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions of the Lead-Acid Battery Export Notification and Consent Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, generators, transporters and facilities that reclaim but do not store spent lead-acid batteries are exempt from hazardous waste management requirements, as specified in 40 CFR part 266 subpart G. Spent lead-acid batteries destined for export/reclamation are not, therefore, subject to RCRA manifesting or export notification and consent requirements specified in 40 CFR part 262. Allowing the export of spent lead-acid batteries without prior notice and consent of the receiving country is not consistent with widely-accepted international practices. Similarly, the exemption contrasts with more recent Universal Waste requirements in 40 CFR part 262, which require export notice and consent for comparable waste streams. The purpose of this regulation is to modify the spent lead-acid battery exemption to require appropriate notice and consent for those batteries intended for export.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Land Disposal Restrictions: Determination of Equivalent Treatment for Macroencapsulation of Radioactive Lead Solids; Definition of Macroencapsulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA anticipates taking action to grant a national determination of equivalent treatment petition at the request of the Department of Energy. Currently the use of containers is prohibited for the disposal of radioactive lead solids by regulations at 40 CFR 268.42. This necessitates the segradation and separation of radioactive lead solids from other debris.   Containers of high density polyethylene (HDPE) can be constructed that provide a resistant barrier to degradation by the wastes and materials into which it may come into contact after disposal. Revision of current regulation will be required to allow the use of such HDPE containers for waste primarily consisting of radioactive lead solids. We believe these changes in disposal practices will promote more efficient cleanup of contaminated sites by removing a regulatory distinction between radioactive lead solids and other forms of hazardous debris, reduce worker exposures, and promote further advancement in new technologies for disposal. The use of containers are expected to be less costly than extrusion coatings and, therefore, this action would be cost neutral to cost beneficial to the Department of Energy and other generators of radioactive lead solids.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Automobile manufacturers are adding aluminum or aluminized components to automobiles to reduce the weight of vehicles to increase fuel economy. When aluminum components are added to the automobile assembly process, the current federal regulations require that the wastewater treatment sludges generated from this conversion coating process be managed as a hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. EPA intends to reduce burden on the regulated community by revising the current RCRA regulations that apply to the wastewater treatment sludges from the chemical conversion coating (zinc phosphating) of aluminum.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reportable Quantity Adjustments for Carbamates and Carbamate-Related Hazardous Waste Streams; Reportable Quantity Adjustment for Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing Process Waste (K178)</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) until 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 proposed RQ adjustments for the carbamates. Most RQ adjustments are 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. 

In addition, we proposed an RQ adjustment for the inorganic chemical manufacturing process waste (K178)(66 FR 58258, 11/20/01).]]></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. Waste handlers (e.g., generators and transporters) are required to use the manifest, and States may not require a different manifest in its place. However, the manifest has State blocks which allow States, at their option, to require the entry of additional specific information to serve their State's regulatory needs. Under the current regulations more than 20 States print the manifest form in accordance with the format specified in federal regulations. However, the variability among State manifest programs associated with state optional blocks, different copy distribution schemes, and the manifest hierarchical acquisition scheme has drawn complaints from the regulated community. Variability among States' Manifest programs and the manifest system's current reliance on paper result in significant paperwork and cost burden to waste handlers and States who choose to collect manifest information. The Agency intends to standardize further the manifest form elements, and to specify one format for the manifests that may be used in all states. In addition, the Agency intends to announce standard requirements for tracking rejected wastes, container residues, and international shipments of hazardous wastes. Finally, the Agency intends to pursue an optional approach that would use information technologies to conduct the manifest process electronically, thereby reducing paperwork burden, and improving the speed and accuracy of preparing, transmitting, and recordkeeping the manifest form. However, the Agency will bifurcate the manifest rule so that the form revisions may be expedited, while additional analysis on the e-manifest continues.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Since the adoption of the Uniform Manifest by EPA and the Department of Transportation (DOT) in 1984, the regulated community and authorized states have pressed EPA to adopt changes that would simplify and further reduce the variability among the hazardous waste manifest forms required and distributed by the states. In addition, the recent focus on electronic government has highlighted the potential advantages of an electronic manifest system in terms of reduced paperwork burdens and more timely waste tracking. This action responds to these needs with a truly universal set of manifest data elements and a manifest format that will be identical in all states, as well as standards that will allow the manifest data to be completed, signed, transmitted, and recorded electronically.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[EPA's regulations implementing the manifest are based on section 3002(a)(5) of the RCRA statute, which requires that EPA include in its hazardous waste generator regulations requirements addressing the "use of a manifest system and ony other reasonable means necessary" to assure that all such hazardous waste is designated for and designated for and arrives at treatment, storage, or disposal facilities that have been permitted under RCRA subtitle C requirements. Secion 3003(a)(3) of the Act requires transporters of hazardous waste to comply with the manifest system, while section 3004(a)(2) requires compliance with the manifest system by treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. Moreover, according to section 1004(12) of the Act, the manifest is defined as the "form used for identifying the quantity, composition, and the origin, routing, and destination of hazardous waste during its transportation from the point of generation to the point of disposal, treatment, or storage." The manifest also serves as teh "shipping paper" meeting DOT requirements for the transportation of hazardous materials under the Federal Hazardous Materials laws and regulations. 

EPA's current manifest regulations require generators to obtain manifest froms from the authorized States. The generator must complete the paper form by identifying the type and quantity of hazardous waste in off-site shipments, as well as the identities of the transporters and waste receiving facilities that will manage the waste. The regulations require waste handlers to sign the manifest form by hand when they receive a waste shipment, and to retain copies of the signed manifests that document the chain of custody of a shipment, and any discrepancies. 

EPA and DOT have authority to eliminate variability among state manifests, since DOT's hazardous materials laws generally call for uniformity in the use of hazardous materials shipping papers such as the manifest, and EPA must regulate transportation consistently with DOT. EPA and DOT consented in 1984 to the inclusion of several "optional" data fields, but our experience with the manifest system has demonstrated that the inclusion of optional fields introduces excessive variability and burden for waste handlers. EPA also has authority to automate the waste tracking functions of the manifest, since the Act states that EPA can employ any reasonable means necessary to track waste shipments under a manifest system. There is nothing in the statute that precludes EPA from establishing standards allowing electronic manifesting of shipments, as well as use of the traditional paper forms.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The form revisions part of the rulemaking examines alternatives to the current system that allows authorized states to print and distribute slightly varying manifest forms (typically for a fee) to waste handlers generating or shipping waste in a particular state. This rule would establish a precise Federal specification for the manifest that would preclude variability in manifest forms, wherever they are used. This option was proposed in May 2001, and was supported by the great preponderance of commenters who submitted written comments to the docket. 

The rule also examines alternative electronic formats for completing electronic manifests, and alternative methods for signing manifests electronically. Moreover, EPA has been examining in response to comments whether electronic manifest systems should be developed in a decentralized fashion by private companies in adherence with standards announced by EPA (the proposed approach), or, developed and hosted centrally in a national system. We expect that additional stakeholder outreach will be necessary to determine the appropriate design and functionality of the e-manifest approach for the final rule. Therefore, the e-manifest part of the rulemaking has been separated from the form revisions part of the rule, so that final action on the form revisions will not be delayed by future outreach and analysis conducted in connection with the e-manifest.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The baseline manifest system results in annual paperwork burdens of 4.6 million hours and annual costs of about $193 million. In developing the May 2001, proposed rule, EPA estimated that the proposed revisions to the hazardous waste manifest system (form changes and electronic manifest) would reduce the paperwork burdens impoosed by the manifest by 765,000 to 1.24 million hours annually, and would reduce annual costs by $24-$37 million. The rule should also eliminate much of the complexity that arises from having to obtain and comply with states' slightly varying manifest forms, and the burden and complexity of having to supply information to satisfy the current so-called "optional" state fields. The ability to complete and transmit manifest data electronically should improve the accuracy of manifest data, and the timeliness and effectiveness of waste shipment tracking.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule addresses only administrative requirements for tracking waste shipments. The rule does not address risks posed by particular substances or waste management activities, and no risk assessments have been prepared to support this action.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Management of Cement Kiln Dust (CKD)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 1993, EPA submitted a report to Congress with its findings on the nature and management practices associated with cement kiln dust (CKD). In 1995, EPA determined that some additional control of CKD was needed and published a regulatory determination (60 FR 7366, 2/7/95). On August 20, 1999, EPA issued a proposed rule (64 FR 45632) outlining the Agency's preferred regulatory approach (i.e., an exemption from hazardous waste listing for properly managed CKD) and several optional approaches including requirements solely under RCRA Subtitle D. On July 25, 2002, the Agency published a notice (67 FR 48648) to announce the availability for public inspection and comment of recently acquired data on CKD. 

The Agency is now considering an approach whereby it would finalize the proposed option of issuing the protective CKD management standards as described in the August 20, 1999 proposal as a RCRA subtitle D rule. The Agency would temporarily suspend its active consideration of the proposed listing of mismanaged CKD as a hazardous waste, and assess how CKD management practices and state regulatory programs evolve over the next three to five years. Based on this assessment, EPA will then proceed to either formally withdraw or promulgate the portion of the 1999 proposal that classifies as a RCRA hazardous waste CKD that has been egregiously mismanaged. 

EPA will be promoting pollution prevention, recycling, and safer disposal of CKD by considering finalization of protective management standards for this waste. The Agency believes that these management standards are a creative, affordable, and common sense approach that can protect human health and the environment without imposing unnecessary regulatory burdens on the cement kiln industry. These standards provide a new, tailored framework that safeguards ground water and limits risk from releases of dust to air.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Agency stated that its concerns about the potential harm to human health and the environment posed by some CKD suggest the need for some level of regulation under RCRA subtitle C authority. The Agency is now considering an approach whereby it would finalize protective CKD management standards.  Active consideration of the proposed mismanagement-based listing would be temporarily suspended for a period of three to five years. During this time EPA would collect data to evaluate the effectiveness of CKD management practices and States' regulatory programs. If after its evaluation the Agency deems CKD management practices and States' regulatory programs to be effective in protecting human health and the environment, the Agency would formally withdraw the subtitle C portion of the 1999 proposal and would revisit the 1995 CKD regulatory determination.  Otherwise, if the Agency deems CKD management practices and State regulatory programs to be ineffective after this period, the Agency would pursue regulation of mismanaged CKD under RCRA subtitle C.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Agency estimated the proposed rule would effect the economy by less than $100 million per year. EPA also estimated that the proposed rule may result in a reduced risk of ).0004 to 0.003 cancer cases per year (best estimate- 0.0006) and 29 to 315 fewer persons (best estimate - 43) exposed to potential noncancer health effects due to food chain exposures (i.e., vegetables, beef, and/or milk) to "backyard" gardeners and subsistence farmers. In addition, the population analysis indicated that between 669-5,895 recreational fishers (best estimate -999) would avoid exposure to contaminant levels that may result in noncancer health effects. The population analysis indicated that 18 to 4,118 individuals (best estimate 2,378) would avoid exposure to particulate matter in excess of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).  The rule should also help prevent contaminated CKD leachate from impacting groundwater resources.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[For the 1993 Report to Congress and 1995 Regulatory Determination, the Agency modeled individual risks from direct and indirect pathways for 83 plants. The Agency concluded that the risks from direct pathways (i.e., drinking water ingestion, incidental ingestion, and chemical inhalation) were low or negligible. The Agency caveated these conclusions by noting that: (1) About half of the plants are underlain by limestone formations in areas of karst landscape and may be susceptible to fissures and hydraulic characteristics that allow leachate to directly enter groundwater without dilution or attenuation and cannot be modeled with current techniques; (2) empirical evidence indicated groundwater contamination in areas of both karst and non-karst terrain; and (3) modeling results for fine particulate emissions for 28 cement plants out of 52 modeled may have exceedances of NAAQS at plant boundaries and may result in risks from fine particulate inhalation at nearby residences. 

For the indirect pathways, the Agency concluded that releases from about 12 percent of the 83 plants studied may result in cancer risks greater than 1x10-5 for highly exposed individuals (i.e., subsistence fishers and subsistence farmers). Similarly, the Agency concluded that releases from about 12 percent of the 83 plants may result in noncancer hazard ratios greater than 1.0 for highly exposed individuals.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA's process for releasing analytical methods through the SW-846 methods compendium which support the RCRA program, has been through publishing FR notices and taking public comment. SW-846 methods are widely used, but the majority of the methods are not required by any particular regulation. Therefore, EPA has proposed a streamlined process for releasing analytical methodologies to the public, while also promoting the Performance Base Measurement Approach in the Methods Innovation Proposed Rule (MIR) (FAR: 67FR 66252 (October 30, 2002). The comment period was extended until February 28, 2003. In addition EPA has been 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. 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 proposed 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 action 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. The MIR and previous method packages have been exempt from OMB review and SBREFA analysis due  the nature of the guidance and it's voluntary use. 

Since many advances have occurred in waste sampling strategies since initial guidance was published in 1984, along with the proposal EPA has  announced the availability of a new guidance document for public comment entitled, "RCRA Waste Sampling Draft Technical Guidance."  One main advantage to releasing the guidance is that the document provides new approaches to waste sampling, with real life examples which we expect will lead to improved ability to characterize waste streams.  We believe that the release of this MIR and Waste Sampling Guidance will be widely accepted by the regulated, scientific, and academic community  because they provide state of the art approaches for determining hazardous waste and sampling characteristic techniques.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standardized Permit for RCRA Hazardous Waste Management Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has proposed creating a new type of general permit, called a standardized permit, for facilities that generate waste and routinely manage the waste onsite 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. EPA estimates that the potential average annual cost savings to eligible facilities from implementation of this rule will range from approximately $100 to $5,800 (i.e., 2 to 140 burden hours) per permit action, depending on such things as the type of permit and the type of storage equipment. The proposal raised 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. The Agency is developing a final rule addressing this topic.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Agency convened a special task force in 1994 to look at permitting activities throughout its different programs and to make specific recommendations to improve these permitting programs. This task force, known as the Permits Improvement Team (PIT), spent two years working with stakeholders from the Agency, State permitting agencies, industry, and the environmental community. The PIT stakeholders mentioned, among other things, that permitting activities should be commensurate with the complexity of the activity. The stakeholders felt that current Agency permitting programs were not flexible enough to allow streamlined procedures for routine permitting activities. Currently, facilities that store, treat, or dispose of hazardous waste must obtain site-specific "individual" permits prescribing conditions for each "unit" (e.g., tank, container area, etc.) in which hazardous waste is managed. Experience gained by the Agency and states over the past 165 years has shown that not all the waste management activities are at the same level of complexity. Some activities, such as thermal treatment or land disposal of hazardous wastes, are more complex than storage of hazardous waste. The Agency believes that thermal treatment and land disposal activities continue to warrant "individual" permits, prescribing unit-specific conditions. However, the Agency believes that some accommodation can be made for hazardous waste management practices in standardized units such as tanks, container storage areas, and containment buildings. In April 1996, the PIT tentatively recommended, among other things, that regulations be developed to allow "standardized permits" for onsite storage and nonthermal treatment of hazardous waste in tanks, containers, and containment buildings.  On October 12, 2001, the Agency proposed revising the RCRA regulations to allow for this type of permit, and is preparing to finalize the rule.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Facilities that manage hazardous waste are required under RCRA to obtain a permit and carry out corrective action as necessary (see: RCRA Section 3004, 3005, 3008, and 3010). EPA has discretion under these statutory provisions to apply different permitting procedures to different types of facilities.  No aspect of this streamlining action is required by court order.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[EPA considered several options regarding RCRA permits and corrective action alternatives. The Agency proposed to limit the scope of the rule to facilities that generate waste and manage it onsite, but asked for comment on whether to expand that scope to facilities that manage wastes generated offsite. The Agency also asked for comment on the option of allowing a facility's RCRA corrective action activities to be postponed if corrective action is being carried out under an approved state remedial program.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The RCRA standardized permit is an optional rule designed to streamline the regulatory burden to EPA/States, as well as to private sector facilities covered by the rule, by reducing the amount of information collected, submitted, and reviewed for RCRA hazardous waste permit actions (i.e., new permit applications, permit modifications, and permit renewals). Because the rule proposed to streamline existing RCRA regulation, rather than add new RCRA regulation, implementation of the rule by the EPA and by States with EPA-authorized permitting programs is expected to result in economic benefits in the form of national cost savings from reducing both government and private sector resources required for the RCRA permit process. The national workload level of RCRA permit actions involving onsite hazardous waste storage and nonthermal treatment units has averaged 92 permit determinations per year over the 10-year period 1990-1999. Relative to this average annual workload, EPA estimates that the potential average annual cost savings to eligible facilities from implementation of this rule will range from approximately $100 to $5,800 (i.e., 2 to 140 burden hours) per permit action, depending on such things as the type of permit and the type of storage equipment. On a national basis, the rule is expected to generate a minimum of $0.36 to $0.53 million in average annual paperwork cost savings, based on the scope of the proposed rule, which was limited to on-site waste management facilities. However, the final rule may expand the initial scope of eligible facilities, which could easily double or triple the national cost savings benefits (i.e., $1.1 to $1.6 million per year in cost savings).]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The purpose of this rule is to streamline existing RCRA permit application and issuance procedures to achieve national paperwork burden reduction. Because of the facts that facilities covered by this rule: (a) are currently already required to obtain RCRA permits, and (b) are relatively simple to design, install/construct, operate, and clean-close, this rule is expected to have minimal incremental effects on existing levels of human health and environmental risk for these types of hazardous waste management facilities.]]></RISKS>

        <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 proposed (67 FR 2518, 1/17/02) to implement many of these ideas. The proposal was designed to eliminate duplicative and nonessential paperwork. EPA is planning to issue a notice to seek further input on a number of changes we proposed.  EPA will then finalize this burden reduction effort.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modifications to RCRA Rules Associated With Solvent-Contaminated Industrial Wipes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed to modify the RCRA regulations for management of solvent-contaminated industrial wipes in response to stakeholder concerns that industrial wipes are over-regulated because they pose little threat to human health and the environment. Industrial wipes are used with solvents across industry in various ways; EPA estimates that there are approximately 471,000 users of industrial wipes in 13 economic subsectors, but many users use small numbers of wipes with small amounts of solvents on them. 

This proposed regulation, upon finalization, would provide regulatory relief for two types of solvent-contaminated industrial wipes: (1) Disposable wipes, which are disposed of in a landfill or by combustion after use, and (2) reusable wipes, which are laundered after use to remove the solvent and then are used again. EPA proposed to conditionally exclude disposable industrial wipes from the definition of hazardous waste and to conditionally exclude reusable industrial wipes from the definition of solid waste. 

The regulation is estimated to result in $34 million of savings throughout the economy and has been developed with conditions to ensure that management of these solvents remains protective of human health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recycling of Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) and Mercury-Containing Equipment: Changes to Hazardous Waste Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will ultimately revise the existing Federal hazardous waste regulations to encourage recycling and better management of Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) by providing a conditional exclusion from the definition of solid waste for CRTs being recycled.  A CRT is the 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 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. The goal of this action is to improve management and encourage recycling, thereby minimizing disposal of mercury, increasing resource recovery, and enhancing protection of human health and the environment. The mercury-containing equipment rule will be published at a later date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering adding a new section to the Criteria for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (MSWLF) to allow directors of approved 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. Variances for location restrictions, design  standard groundwater monitoring, corrective action requirements, the financial assurance criteria, and most operational controls 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.  This additional flexibility may reduce potential costs while providing opportunities for innovative technologies that protect human health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Definition of Solid Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under RCRA, to be a hazardous waste, a material must also be a solid waste. EPA's framework for determining whether a material is a solid waste is based on what the material is, and how it's managed (e.g., how it is used, reused, etc.). For materials being recycled, RCRA jurisdiction is complex, and the history of legal decisions related to the definition of solid waste is extensive (AMC I, API I, AMC II, ABR, API II, etc.). In response to American Mining Congress v. EPA, 824 F. 2d 1177(D.C. Cir. 1987) (AMC I) and one of the most recent decisions, the Association of Battery Recyclers, v. EPA 208 F.3d 1047 (2000) (ABR), EPA proposed to revise the definition of solid waste. The proposed rule specifically addressed materials undergoing reclamation. In the context of reclamation, we discussed options for how to distinguish materials that are discarded from materials that remain in use in a continuous industrial process and we proposed a definition of "continuous industrial process." Generally, we believe that removing the specter of RCRA control where it is not necessary can spur increased reuse and recycling of hazardous waste, and will lead to better resource conservation and improved materials management overall.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Requirements Under Clean Air Act Section 112(r)(7); Amendments to the Submission Schedule and Data Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 20, 1996, EPA published risk management planning regulations mandated under the accidental release prevention provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Sources with more than a threshold quantity of a regulated substance in a process are required to develop and implement a risk management program that includes, for covered processes, a five-year accident history, an off-site consequence analysis, a prevention program, and an emergency response program. The owners and operators of these sources must submit a risk management plan (RMP) that summarizes the source's implementation of the risk management program. The RMPs are to be made available to Federal, state, and local emergency planning and response agencies and to the public through a central location.  The first submissions were received in June 1999; to date, approximately 15,000 sources have submitted RMPs. 

EPA is proposing to modify the submission schedule under the risk management program by adding two triggers to the requirements to correct or update the RMP: (a) sources who have an accident that meets the criteria for the five year accident history be required to update their RMP within six months of the date of the accident; and (b) sources will be required to correct their emergency contact information within one month of a change in the information. EPA is also proposing to add four data elements to the RMP: (a) a mandatory data element for sources to provide the e-mail address for the emergency contact; (b) new data elements for sources to provide the reason for an RMP update (e.g. new regulated substance onsite, etc.) or correction; (c) a new five-year accident history data element requirement for the owner or operator to provide an indication of whether the accident involved an uncontrolled/runaway reaction; and (d) additional data elements for sources that use a contractor to fill out the RMP to provide their name, address and telephone number. Finally, EPA proposes to remove the requirement for sources to discuss the off-site consequence analysis (i.e, worst-case accidental release scenario(s) and the alternative accidental release scenario(s)) within the executive summary of the RMP. This effort will ultimately provide the implementing agency important contact and accident information to allow for assistance and improved communications of information to prevent accidents. 

These changes should not significantly change the associated burden. The major change would be the accidental release update requirement; however, the source will not need to submit again, provided there are no other accidents or major changes, for another 5 years. EPA intends to finalize all of these changes in time for the majority of facilities to complete their five year updates due June 21, 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Secrecy Claims for Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Information; and Trade Secret Disclosures to Health Professionals; Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 29, 1988, EPA published the procedures for claims of trade secrecy made by facilities reporting under sections 303(d)(2) and (d)(3), 311, 312, and 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), codified in 40 CFR part 350, including where to mail these claims. EPA also published the trade secrecy substantiation forms in the final rule. This rule amends the regulations published in 1988 to change the location to submit claims and appeals. This rule also amends the regulations to remove the substantiation forms for trade secrecy claims. 

The regulations promulgated in July 1988 allows EPA to disclose to authorized representatives including contractors and subcontractors to EPA who perform work for EPA in connection with EPCRA regulations. For handling trade secret claims, EPA has contracted to a private firm, and this contract is recompleted every three years. Section 350.16 lists the address of the contractor location which is now outdated, this action will reflect this change. Another revision will be to change EPA's address in section 350.17 since EPA is at a new location. The last revision is to remove the substantiation form in section 350.27 and make it available on the program office's website. This is needed since the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approves the form every three years during the renewal of Information Collection Requirement submitted under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The date that appears on the form for OMB approval is also outdated. Since the address to mail the trade secrecy claims and the OMB approval date may change periodically, the Agency has decided to refer to the program offices website for this informaion. 

This action will not raise any regulatory burden on any entities subject to the requierements under 40 CFR part 350, it is only informing the public of the changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>RCRA Subtitle C Financial Test Criteria (Revision)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA's regulations require companies to provide financial assurance for environmental obligations, and allow companies that meet certain requirements to self insure their environmental obligations for closure, post-closure care and third party liability. EPA proposed a revised financial test because the revised test would be better at predicting which firms will enter bankruptcy and not be able to cover their financial assurance obligations at hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities. If such a firm were to enter bankruptcy, the government could incur the clean up liability. 

EPA's regulations set the minimum national standards for State hazardous waste programs, and so a change in Federal requirements would be necessary to ensure consistent improvements in the test.  Without rulemaking, States would have the option of not adopting these changes, and so the improvement in the test would not be implemented in States that cannot have regulations that are more stringent than Federal standards. 

The proposal considered several alternative financial tests, and the analysis supporting the original proposal found that the savings from the proposed alternative would be $19 million in public and private costs. If EPA promulgates a revised financial test, it may affect companies that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste.]]></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 and LDR for Wastes Generated During the Manufacture of Azo, Anthraquinone, and Triarylmethane Dyes and Pigments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is mandated by the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments and a consent decree (EDF v. Browner, Civil Action No. 89-0598, D.D.C.). 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 the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to control any potentially unacceptable risks. If listed under RCRA, these wastes would also be added to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). 

Upon evaluation of risk assessment modeling results, we will propose whether or not to list the wastes of concern. If relevant, we may include contingencies to focus the listing on particular waste management practices. If we determine that these wastes warrant listing, we will provide the benefit of protecting human health and the environment. At the same time, we plan to provide specific risk-reduction goals for industry, which, if met, will significantly reduce the regulatory burden associated with the listing determination. As of August 2003, we have not yet quantified potential costs associated with this rule. Depending on how the proposal is structured, there may be some small business impacts. 

The current action is a reproposal of prior actions. We proposed listing decisions for most of the targeted wastes in 1994, and several other wastes in 1999. The 1994 and 1999 proposals were incomplete because they did not contain information claimed to be confidential by industry (the data are subject to an injunction prohibiting their release). The current action does not rely on the contested data and will replace the 1994 and 1999 proposals. The reproposal will also identify land disposal restrictions for the wastes of concern. 

The current action is targeted on wastes from the manufacture of dyes and pigments, with specific emphasis on certain product classes (azos, anthraquinones, triarylmethanes).  Manufacturers of these products will need to assess their wastes to determine whether they meet the final listing definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act: Amendments and Streamlining Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.) This supplemental proposal will address reporting thresholds for chemicals that pose minimal risk. The final rule  to the June 8, 1998 proposal and this supplemental proposal 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. 

This supplemental rule, when finalized, will minimize burden for those facilities that are currently reporting  chemicals that pose minimal risk under sections 311 and 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. This rule, when finalized, may also reduce the number of facilities subject to these reporting requirements. The reporting requirements under sections 311 and 312 are intended to enhance communities' and emergency response officials' awareness of chemical hazards; to facilitate the development of State and local emergency response plans; and to aid communities and emergency response officials in preparing for and responding to emergencies safely and effectively. By proposing to provide relief from routine reporting of substances with minimal hazards and minimal risk, state and local officials can focus on chemicals that may pose more significant hazard or may present greater risks to the community.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering finalizing revisions to the RCRA hazardous regulations to exclude oil-bearing secondary materials, generated by the petroleum refining industry and others, from the definition of solid waste if the materials are destined to be processed in a gasification device manufacturing synthesis gas fuel.  We are considering this exclusion in order to clarify and simplify RCRA jurisdiction, and to be consistent with other comparable existing exclusions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for the Management of Coal Combustion Wastes -- Nonpower Producers and Minefilling</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is for the development of nonhazardous waste regulations under subtitle D of the RCRA statute. The regulations will apply to landfill and surface impoundment facilities that manage coal combustion wastes generated by nonutility combustors. Nonutility combustors are commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities that burn coal in boilers to generate steam. The regulations will also apply to mine facilities where any coal combustion wastes are managed, (i.e., backfilled into mined areas). This action results from EPA's regulatory determination for fossil fuel combustion wastes (see 65 FR 32214, May 22, 2000), in which the Agency concluded that coal combustion wastes could pose significant risks to human health and the environment if they are not properly managed. As described in the regulatory determination, there is sufficient evidence that adequate controls may not be in place. The intended benefits of this action will be to prevent contamination or damage to ground waters and surface waters, thereby avoiding risk to human health and the environment, including ecological risks. The Agency has completed information collection efforts and is currently analyzing this information. The Agency will also analyze the human health and ecological risks, costs, and economic impact of this action as it develops the proposed regulations. The Agency has considered alternatives to this action, including regulating these wastes as hazardous wastes under subtitle C of RCRA, but has rejected this approach as discussed in the regulatory determination (see 65 FR 32214, May 22, 2000).  EPA has also considered issuing guidance to industry and state and local governments to focus on the waste management issues but concluded that there will probably continue to be some gaps in practices and controls and is concerned at the possibility that these will go undressed. The Agency is considering alternatives to regulation of mine placement under RCRA per this action, including consulting with the U.S. Department of the Interior on appropriate measures under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) or some combination of both SMCRA and RCRA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Wastewater Treatment Exemptions for Hazardous Waste Mixtures.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revision to the wastewater treatment exemptions for hazardous waste mixtures has been proposed to address inconsistencies in the regulations, as well as provide regulatory relief. Current EPA mixture rule exemptions have not kept up with more recent additions to solvent listings, Clean Air Act regulations, wastewater treatment technology, and policies affecting other hazardous wastes. Therefore, the need exists for a Federal deregulatory solution to resolve these inconsistencies. It is estimated that this rule, if finalized, will save $11 to 49 million in compliance costs. EPA proposed to add two solvents (benzene and 2-ethoxyethanol) 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). EPA proposed not to take action on two other solvents, 2-nitropropane and 1,1,2-trichloroethane. In addition, EPA has proposed (1) changing the implementation of the rule from using mass balance only, to choice of using direct monitoring; (2) revising the types of facilities and the types of wastes eligible for the de minimis exemption under section 261.3(a)(2)(iv)(D); and clarifying the applicability of the exemption to scrubber waters from the incineration of spent solvents. Facilities affected by this action include industrial facilities with on-site wastewater treatment plants, commercial wastewater treatment facilities, and certain Federal facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions for Transboundary Shipments of Hazardous Waste for Recovery Within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 is in response to the fact that there is now approximately $30 to 40 billion in annual trade among developed countries in waste recyclables, with the United States having a positive trade balance.  Because each of the developed countries (the 30 OECD countries) had a different system for controlling the exports and imports of waste, including recyclables, the international recycling market was not as efficient as it could be.  A more streamlined, uniform system for exports and imports will also increase recycling and lessen disposal. The United States was actively involved in the negotiation of a legally-binding OECD multilateral agreement to create a more streamlined system. OECD Member countries are then obligated to transfer the terms of the multilateral agreement to their domestic regulations in order for the multilateral agreement to have legal authority. 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. This needs to have a Federal solution because international exports and imports are overseen at the Federal level due to the foreign powers authority clause.  

Many alternatives were considered by government and industry during the intensive negotiations on the legally binding multilateral agreement, with the U.S. having a great deal of influence over which alternatives were in the final agreement. The Agency plans to codify the streamlining provisions of the OECD multilateral agreement, regulating exporters and importers of waste recyclables. 

Exporters and importers of waste recyclables will need to implement the international uniform procedures of the OECD multilateral agreement, however these costs will be less than would be needed to deal with 30 different national export and import systems. In addition, some common existing export and import procedures were streamlined so that the new procedures are even more efficient than was common in the past. The benefits are greater administrative efficiency for U.S. exporters and importers in the international recycling market, and a lower level of waste disposal in the United States since there is more efficient access to other recycling markets.]]></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 (CSISSFRRA) 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. The revision will state that OCA data is made available to the public under the provisions of 40 CFR part 1400. This revision is not meant to regulate any new entities.]]></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 5-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 (such as chemical manufacturers, processors, and users), 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of its response to the Paperwork Reduction Act, EPA formed the RCRA Burden Reduction Initiative. The Agency is reviewing additional burden reduction opportunities, some of which were proposed but not included in the Burden Reduction Initiative final rule.  Additionally, EPA will look for opportunities for burden reduction within the biennial report.  Moving from a paper system to an electronic system focused on information gathered and generated by treatment, storage, and disposal facilities may provide for significant burden reduction savings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is considering proposing to administratively exempt from reporting requirements the releases of certain NOx emissions to air. This would eliminate reports from facilities emitting NOx where the Agency has determined that the releases pose little or no risk or to which a Federal response is infeasible or inappropriate. Requiring reports of such releases would serve little or no useful purpose and could, instead, impose a significant burden on the Federal response system and on the persons responsible for notifying the Federal Government of the release.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act: Modification to the Threshold Planning Quantity Methodology for the Extremely Hazardous Substances that are Solids in Solution.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering an alternative approach for the threshold planning quantity (TPQ) for chemicals on the Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS) List that are handled as solids in solution. The current TPQ for solids in solution is based on a very conservative assumption that the entire quantity of the solid chemical at a facility could potentially be released to air in event of an accident. EPA will propose a rule to revise the TPQ for solids in solution and seek comment on an alternative approach based on industry's request to revisit the TPQ rationale for the chemical paraquat dichloride (handled as a solid in aqueous solution). Use of this experimental data would likely raise the TPQ for solids in solution and result in relieving some facilities (number and type unknown at this time) from the regulatory emergency planning and notification requirements under Section 302-304 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). EPA will evaluate various experimental data for accidental air releases of solutions containing solid chemicals when developing revised TPQs. EPA would also seek public comment on the appropriateness of considering aerosol size as a factor for potential off-site exposure to communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act; Extremely Hazardous Substances List; 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. 

This action sets the correct threshold planning quantity for IPDI, which was set in error in the April 22, 1987 final rule. No new entities are regulated by this action, however since the TPQ is now set higher, fewer facilities will be subject to the requirements under section 302, 311, and 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To help accelerate the pace of lead-based paint removal from residences, and thereby reduce exposure of children and adults to health risks associated with lead, the Agency promulgated expanded disposal options for residential lead-based paint waste. The final rule revises the definition of "municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) unit," and adds definitions for "construction and demolition (C&D) 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). This final rule provides additional flexibility to disposers of residential lead-based paint waste by allowing such waste to be disposed of in C&D landfills as well as in MSWLF units. The final rule imposes no additional costs and will result in cost savings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would inform owners/operators of municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLF) of location restrictions for airport safety contained in the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (Ford Act). The Ford Act prohibits 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 plans to include a note to the existing regulatory language in section 258.10 presenting this to notify affected entities of these statutory restrictions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification to Interim Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquiry Under CERCLA and Notice of Future Rulemaking Action</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA published a rule to explain and clarify a provision included in recent amendments to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). EPA addressed certain interim standards established in the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (the Brownfields Act) for conducting "all appropriate inquiry," to establish exemptions from liability under CERCLA or establish that a landowner had no reason to know of contamination at a property under CERCLA liability provisions prior to purchasing the property. The Brownfields Act provides clarification of provisions related to CERCLA liability for certain parties including contiguous property owners, prospective purchasers, and innocent landowners. Among the requirements added to CERCLA is the requirement that such parties undertake "all appropriate inquiry" into prior ownership and use of certain property. 

Under the Brownfields Act, Congress provided an interim standard for conducting all appropriate inquiry, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard known as Standard E1527-97 (entitled "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessment: Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Process"). This interim standard applies to properties purchased after May 31, 1997 until EPA promulgates regulations establishing standards and practices for conducting all appropriate inquiry. The rule clarifies the interim requirements for conducting "all appropriate inquiry" in the case of property purchased on or after May 31, 1997 and the conduct of such activities to establish an innocent landowner defense. 

EPA received an adverse comment to the direct final rule addressing the interim standard.  A withdrawal of the direct final rule will be published.  We will address the concerns raised during the comment period in a subsequent final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recycled Used Oil Containing PCBs: Amendments</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 withdrew these three amendments and reinstated the regulatory text that existed prior to the May 6, 1998 direct final rule. The remaining amendments that did not receive any relevant adverse comments became effective on July 6, 1998 as provided in the May 6, 1998 direct final rule. EPA will promulgate a final rule addressing the comments received and finalizing the three amendments that were withdrawn, as appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address the problem of disposal of low-activity mixed radioactive 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 rulemaking 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 would not mandate a disposal method, but rather would permit 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.  An Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is being issued to solicit early public input on this issue  --  see SAN 4054.1 elsewhere in this issue of the Regulatory Agenda.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petitions to Delist Hazardous Air Pollutants:  MEK</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>NESHAP: Perchlorethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 22, 1993 (58 FR 49354), EPA promulgated standards to control perchlorethylene emissions from drycleaning facilities under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (see 40 CFR part 63, subpart M). Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, EPA has reviewed this rule to determine if it should be continued without change, or should be amended or rescinded, to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities. The full results of EPA's review have been summarized in a report and placed in docket number OAR-2003-0029 in EPA's electronic docket system (www.epa.gov/edocket).  These results are briefly summarized here.  

EPA has concluded that there is continued need for this rule to protect public health by reducing harmful perchloroethylene (PCE) emissions as mandated by section 112 of the Clean Air Act.  EPA's review also addressed the following issues: complaints received, complexity, duplication and overlap.  Regarding complaints, several commenters urged EPA to make the rule more stringent to further reduce or eliminate PCE use.  The Agency is currently addressing these kinds of considerations as part of its review of the NESHAP under Clean Air Act sections 112(d)(6) and 112(f), and therefore will not address these issues further here. 

A number of commenters cited recordkeeping burdens, but some also acknowledged that the requirements promote efficiency and are consistent with good business practices.  Other commenters note that while recordkeeping does impose some paperwork burden, they do not believe it translates into significant economic cost. Another commenter proposed ways to lessen monitoring and recordkeeping burden. The Agency finds that revising the requirements as proposed by the commenters may lead to increased PCE emissions and may fail to demonstrate continued compliance.

The Agency also found that the rule's complexity is necessary to minimize economic impacts on small businesses while ensuring emissions reductions.  The Agency received no comments requesting simplification of the rule requirements. EPA therefore finds that revisions to the NESHAP based on rule complexity are not necessary.

The extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules was also assessed as part of this review.  The Agency is not aware of any instance where the NESHAP conflicts with State, local, or other requirements, and received no comments to that effect.

Finally, the Agency must consider the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area of the rule. As noted above, although the Agency finds that no revisions to the NESHAP are necessary for the purpose of this RFA review, the Agency will continue to assess advances in technology as part of the ongoing review of the NESHAP that is required by section 112(d)(6) of the Clean Air Act.

In light of the considerations outlined above, EPA has decided to continue this rule in effect without change.  A fuller explanation of the results of this review is given in the aforementioned report which has been placed in the docket established for this review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Policy on Control of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering the proposal of revisions to its policy on control of volatile organic compounds (VOC), including the use of photochemical reactivity in controlling VOCs.  As a first step, an ANPRM will be issued soliciting public comment on various policy options.  Subsequent steps could range from taking no further action to publishing a policy statement in the Federal Register.  The ANPRM is to announce that EPA is considering revision of its VOC policy which appeared in the July 8, 1977 Federal Register  (42 FR 35314) under the title "Recommended Policy on Control of Volatile Organic Compounds."  That policy statement gave a broad description about how EPA would approach VOC control.  This policy also said that we would be exempting certain organic compounds from control in volatile organic compound regulations (to meet ozone ambient air quality limits) due to these compounds having very low ozone forming potential.   A list of exempt compounds was later codified in the definition of VOC at 40 CFR 51.100(s) which was adopted on February 3, 1992 (57 FR 3941) for use in State Implementation Plans.   The ANPRM will ask for public comments on various approaches EPA may use in the future to take photochemical reactivity into account in controlling VOCs.  For example, some have argued that we should determine a specific reactivity number for each individual compound, and to control each compound based on its reactivity number (as opposed to treating all VOC the same way as we do now).  The ANPRM could lead to a policy statement, such as the 1977 policy statement, which would give a broad outline of the new approach EPA would take in the future.  This would not be a rulemaking, but the revised policy could lead to new rules being adopted still further in the future.  (Any such rules would be separately noticed in the Regulatory Agenda.)  For example, the ANPRM could eventually lead to a revision of the definition of VOC at 40 CFR 51.100(s).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Approaches to an Integrated Framework for Management and Disposal of Low-Activity Radioactive Waste: Request for Comment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) will solicit public comment on voluntary approaches that would allow additional options for the disposal of low-activity mixed wastes.  The wastes intended to be disposed of in these cells are federally regulated 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, but may also be generated by Federal Government activities. The intention of this effort  is 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.  It is envisioned that any rule that would be promulgated in this area would not mandate a disposal method, but rather permit an alternative to existing disposal methods.  (See SAN 4054 elsewhere in today's Regulatory Agenda.)  In this ANPRM, public comment will be solicited on application of such a rule to other low-activity radioactive wastes not currently regulated at the Federal level, and on possible non-regulatory approaches to improved management.  The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is anticipated to be the implementing Agency for the application of any rule that would follow this ANPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List 2</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is to develop the Second Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL2). To meet the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requirements under section 1412(b)(1)(B)(i), as amended in 1996, EPA will publish a list of contaminants that are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems which may require regulation under the SDWA. In developing this list of contaminants, that are not currently subject to any proposed or promulgated NPDWRs, EPA must consult with the SAB, provide an opportunity for public comments, consider the National Contaminant Occurrence Database (developed under SDWA section 1445(g)), consider contaminants referred to in section 101(4) of CERCLA, and substances registered as pesticides under FIFRA. Similar to CCL1, the CCL2 will be based on readily available occurrence and health effects information and evaluated by EPA. SDWA required the first CCL to be published 18 months after the date of enactment (2/98), and a new CCL every 5 years thereafter. The methods used to develop the CCL are described in the Federal Register (62 FR 52193). To respond to comments received on the draft drinking water CCL, the Agency requested assistance from the National Research Council (NRC) for guidance on methods and processes to identify and narrow a very broad universe of potential contaminants into a smaller, more focused list for the future CCLs. The details of the NRC recommendation are available in the report entitled "Classifying Drinking Water Contaminants for Regulatory Considerations." The NRC recommendations are being evaluated by a National Drinking Water Advisory Council Work Group and the results of this parallel effort will be used for future CCLs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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, thereby improving the method's precision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is amending the rule on refrigerant recycling, promulgated under section 608 of the Clean Air Act to clarify how the statutory venting prohibition of the Act applies to refrigerants that are used as substitutes for CFC and HCFC ozone-depleting refrigerants.  It also exempts refrigerants that are used as substitutes for CFC and HCFC ozone-depleting refrigerants.  It also exempts certain substitute refrigerants from the prohibition on the basis of current evidence that their release does not pose a threat to the environment.  In addition, EPA is extending the refrigerant sales restriction to substitute refrigerants that consist of an ozone-depleting substance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of 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 major and minor 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  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>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.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Change to Dose Methodology for 40 CFR Part 190, Subpart B and 40 CFR 191, Subpart A</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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. 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>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 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 issued 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>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 one 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 February 12, 2002 (67 FR 6521).  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 1 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 14, 2002, one 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 is reviewing  the petition.  Once the review is completed, the EPA will 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Regulations: Revisions</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 need to be revised to reflect the roles of EPA and the state and local agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Regional Haze Rule To Address Concerns Raised by DC Circuit Regarding Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To meet the Clean Air Act's requirements, EPA published the regional haze rule on July 1, 1999 (64 FR 35714).  On May 24, 2002, the DC Circuit vacated certain provisions of the regional haze rule related to best available retrofit technology (BART).  Because of this court decision, we need to propose and publish revised BART provisions in the regional haze rule.  The purpose of this effort is to provide the appropriate changes to the BART requirements and guidelines, and to address additional issues related to reasonable progress goals for the visibility program.  On July 20, 2001, we proposed guidelines intended to add further clarifications to the BART requirements in the regional haze rule.   Since then, due to additional information that has come to light since that proposal, we have decided that a supplemental proposal is needed.]]></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[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>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>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>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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 112(f), standard to protect health and the environment is the statutory authority for this rulemaking. In accordance with Section 112(f)(2), EPA must promulgate residual risk standards 8 years after promulgation of emission standards. We promulgated emission standards for charging, topside leaks, and door leaks at coke ovens on October 27, 1993. This rule will further reduce coke oven emissions from charging, topside leaks, and door leaks at the affected coke plants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adoption of the Amended International NOx Standard for Aircraft Engines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this proposed rulemaking is to amend the existing United States regulations governing the exhaust emissions from new commercial aircraft gas turbine engines. The amendment will codify into United States law the recently amended voluntary NOx emission standard of the United Nation's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), thus bringing the United States emission standards into alignment with the internationally adopted standards. This NOx standard was adopted at the ICAO/Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) 4 meeting in 1998. The implementation of the standard is to begin in January 2004. Further, this amendment will establish consistency between U.S. and international requirements and test procedures. This action is necessary to ensure that domestic commercial aircraft meet international standards and the public can be assured that they are receiving the air quality benefits of the international standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of Anti-Dumping Baselines for Gasoline Produced or Imported for Use in Hawaii, Alaska and the U.S. Territories</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 action proposes to allow refiners and importers of conventional gasoline produced or imported for use in Hawaii, Alaska, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to petition EPA to modify their baselines to use the most appropriate seasonal baseline and Complex Model for purposes of compliance with the RFG program's anti-dumping requirements. 

Specifically, this action would allow refiners and importers to petition EPA to use the summer Complex Model for all anti-dumping baseline and compliance determinations for conventional gasoline produced or imported for use in Hawaii, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This action would allow refiners and importers to petition EPA to use the winter Complex Model for all anti-dumping baseline and compliance purposes in Alaska. We are proposing this action to address certain inconsistencies in the RFG program's anti-dumping provisions which may have significant unintended negative impacts on refiners and importers. In addition, this action proposes to modify the anti-dumping provisions to address compliance in certain situations where a refinery becomes nonoperational during the annual averaging period. This action is intended to address compliance issues where a refinery does not produce sufficient "summer" gasoline to offset the higher emissions of "winter" gasoline due to the refinery becoming non-operational during the annual averaging period. Today's proposed actions would not compromise the environmental goals of the RFG program, or result in any environmental degradation. Today's proposed actions would not have any negative impact on small businesses or state/local/tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance-Based Measurement System For Fuels: Criteria For Self-Qualifying Alternative Test Methods; Description of Optional Statistical Quality Control Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Transportation fuels (like gasoline and diesel fuel) are regulated by EPA under the Clean Air Act to control the emissions that result when they are burned in engines, and also to protect engines' emission control equipment. Fuels regulations require measurement of various of the fuels' properties, and prescribe "designated" analytical methods for that purpose. This regulation is intended to provide a way for regulated parties to self-qualify alternatives to the designated measurement methods that may be cheaper, quicker, simpler, more amenable to automation, or otherwise preferable. The regulation will also prescribe a minimum level of statistical quality control for all fuels test methods, designated or alternative. The regulations should quicken the adoption of new measurement technologies by removing the need for multiple method-specific rule-makings, but to do so in a way that will not degrade the performance of the overall measurement system. The qualification criteria are designed to admit only methods that are as precise as the designated methods and can be made to accurately predict designated method measurements. Introduction of statistical quality control for all methods should improve measurement precision and accuracy in actual practice across all methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action reinforces the economic incentives related to the transition of Article 5 countries to ozone-depleting substance alternatives. Currently, Article 5 allowances are determined as a percentage of total production allowances assigned to US companies for Class I ozone-depleting substances. In accordance with the Beijing Amendments of the Montreal Protocol, this action establishes Article 5 allowances independently of total production allowances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update of Continuous Instrumental Test Methods</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Methods 3A,  6C, 7E, 10, and 20 of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A are instrumental methods that are being revised to make their performance criteria consistent.  Analyzer calibration error tests and sampling system bias tests now required in Methods 3A, 6C, and 7E are being added to Methods 10 and 20.  Inconsistent acceptance criteria for other performance tests and calibration gas quality are also being made uniform.  Performance criteria currently determined based on the instrument span is being revised to an emission limit basis.  This change will fix the acceptance limits for all source tests on the applicable emission limit and not on a span value that sources have some discretion in choosing.  These revisions were proposed on August 27, 1997, in an announcement entitled Amendments for Testing and Monitoring Provisions.  They were considered not significant at that time.  The public did not feel that the  preamble to the rule provided adequate notice of the changes being made to the methods.  The commenters requested a reproposal of these revision to the  instrumental methods to allow for adequate public review.  Methods 7F and 7G are new methods that measure nitrogen oxides electrochemically.  These methods are being proposed in response to requests made by vendors/sources.  These methods will add flexibility to the testing provisions currently in place and will not add requirements or affect the stringency of the underlying emission standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Mobile Sources</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes appropriate requirements, based on the need for and feasibility of additional requirements, to control hazardous air pollutants (air toxics) from motor vehicles, nonroad engines and vehicles, and their fuels. The Clean Air Act requires EPA to periodically revise such requirements. EPA committed to this rulemaking in its March 29, 2001 rule, Control of Emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Mobile Sources. Motor vehicles are significant contributors to national emissions of several hazardous air pollutants. These pollutants are known or suspected to have serious health or environmental impacts. Reducing emissions of these pollutants will reduce the risk to public health and welfare.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation Rule for PM-2.5 NAAQS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1997, EPA promulgated revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM-2.5). The rule described in this paragraph -- the Implementation Rule for PM-2.5 NAAQS -- will include requirements and guidance for State and local air pollution agencies to develop and submit State implementation plans (SIPs) designed to bring the areas into attainment with the 1997 standards. These SIP-development activities include conducting technical analyses to identify effective strategies for reducing emissions contributing to PM-2.5 levels, and adopting regulations as needed in order to attain the standards. Ambient air quality monitoring for 1999-2001 shows that areas exceeding the standards are located throughout the eastern half of the United States and in California. Estimates show that compliance with the standards will prevent thousands of premature deaths from heart and lung disease, tens of thousands of hospital admissions and emergency room visits, and millions of absences from school and work every year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emissions Durability Procedures for New Light-Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 22, 2002 the U. S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated durability provisions that automotive manufacturers used to demonstrate that the emissions of their vehicles would comply with emission standards for the useful lives of those vehicles. The Court also required EPA to issue new regulations. This action fulfills the  mandate.  The new durability regulations will include options that a manufacturer may choose from to age preproduction vehicles to determine the rate of emission deterioration over the vehicle's useful life.  The options will include a prescribed fixed driving cycle and a presribed bench aging cycle that are used to age prototype vehicles or emission control components to the equivalent of the useful life period of the vehicle in a manner that replicates the aging that the vehicle or components would see in actual use.  This rule does not change the Federal emission standards or the test procedures used to quantify emissions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) FY 2002 Report to Congress</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Report to Congress is required by section 23(a)(2) of the WIPP Land Withdrawal Act, which requires EPA to submit an annual report to Congress "on the status of and resources required for the fulfillment of the Administrator's responsibilities under the Act" regarding the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). This report summarizes the activities and progress EPA has made in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Act and outlines the resources required for the Agency to meet its commitments.  The WIPP is an underground repository for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste generated as byproducts from nuclear weapons production. It was constructed by the Department of Energy (DOE) and is located near Carlsbad, New Mexico. In 1998, EPA certified that the WIPP complies with EPA's radioactive waste disposal standards at subpart B and C of 40 CFR 191 and EPA's WIPP compliance criteria at 40 CFR 194, and thus is safe to contain radioactive waste. Since that time, the DOE has begun emplacing waste in the WIPP. The waste is stored approximately 2,100 feet underground in excavated, natural salt formations. EPA also has responsibility for assuring continual compliance with EPA's radioactive waste disposal standards.  EPA continues to have an oversight role at the WIPP to ensure that it continues to protect human health and the environment. This Report summarizes EPA's activities past and present.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Allowables Plantwide Applicability Limit (PAL), Aggregation, and Debottlenecking</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA recently promulgated NSR rules for a Plantwide Applicability Limit (PAL) based on actual emissions that applies to existing major stationary sources. This year, EPA will propose an allowables PAL provision based on a facility's allowable emissions. If a company commits to keep its facility emissions below Allowables PAL level, then these regulations will allow the plant owners to avoid the NSR permitting process when they make changes at individual units at the plant, as long as the total emissions from the facility will not increase. This package will also include an aggregation provision which will propose that, for the purposes of NSR applicability, a project is considered separate and independent from any other project unless the project is dependent upon another project to be economically or technically viable, or if the project is intentionally split from other projects to avoid NSR. The package will also include a debottlenecking provision which addresses emissions from units that change as a result of a physical or operational change to another unit at the facility. EPA will propose that, when calculating actual emissions associated with a physical change or change in the method of operation, sources generally should look only at the unit undergoing the change. Emissions from units "upstream" or "downstream" of the unit being changed should be considered only when the permitted emissions limit of the upstream or downstream unit would be exceeded or increased as a result of the change.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The current New Source Review program provides for emissions from multiple projects to be aggregated (aggregation) as one single project under certain circumstances.  Similarly, when making a PSD applicability calculation, emissions from units whose effective capacity and potential to emit have been increased as a result of a modification to another unit (debottlenecked units), must be included in the initial PSD applicability calculations. Specific questions regarding the application of these two terms have been addressed on a case-by-case basis. By completing this rulemaking, regulated entities and regulatory agencies will be provided an additional level of certainty in addressing applicability issues.  We recently promulgated NSR rules for a Plantwide Applicability Limit (PAL) based on actual emissions that applies to existing major stationary sources.  In 2003, we will propose an allowables PAL based on a facility's allowable emissions mainly for greenfield sources.  If a company commits to keep its facility emissions below Allowables PAL level, then these regulations will allow the plant owners to avoid the NSR permitting process when they make changes at individual units at the plant, as long as the total emissions from the facility will not increase.  This would provide flexibility for sources to respond rapidly to market changes without compromising environmental protection.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule To Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Other Pollutants (Interstate Transport Rule)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Many pollutant types and sources contribute to ambient levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone that exceed national air quality standards, and to regional haze that adversely affects visibility in Federal class I areas. Some of these pollutants may originate tens or hundreds of miles from the areas where violations of the national ambient air quality standards are detected, from sources that are outside the jurisdiction of the State that is harmed. The Clean Air Act requires that a State take steps to prevent emissions from sources located within its boundaries from interfering with a downwind State's ability to meet air quality standards, or interfering with measures to protect visibility. EPA believes it is important to address interstate transport for PM2.5 prior to the time when State plans addressing nonattainment of the standards are completed, so that States can rely on upwind reductions when developing plans for attaining the standards. The Bush Administration has proposed Clear Skies legislation that will help reduce interstate transport of pollution from the largest emitters in the power generation sector. This mandatory program would dramatically reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and mercury by setting a national cap on emissions of each pollutant from power generators. Trading would provide sources with flexibility to reduce their emissions in most efficient and least costly way. EPA prefers to address the issue of transported pollution from power generators through Clear Skies legislation rather than rulemaking. Because enactment of legislation is inherently uncertain, in addition to promoting legislation EPA is initiating this rulemaking as a potential substitute to achieve part of what would be achieved by Clear Skies. Also, if analysis warrants, this rulemaking could supplement legislation by addressing categories of emissions sources not covered by the legislation. Further, EPA will conduct updated transport analyses t determine whether emission reductions beyond the already-promulgated NOx SIP Call (63 FR 57355) are warranted for purposes of the 8-hour ozone standard. Under the interstate transport rule, EPA would establish State-level emissions budgets for transported pollutants, and offer compliance flexibility in the form of an emissions trading program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Section 126 rule:  Lifting the 8-hour Stay</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 126 of the CAA allows States to petition EPA for a finding that emissions from stationary sources in other States significantly contribute to nonattainment problems in the petitioning State.  If EPA approves a petition, EPA would establish Federal requirements for the sources.  In April 1999, EPA finalized action on 8 petitions submitted by Northeastern States for purposes of mitigating interstate transport of NOx, one of the main precursors of ground-level ozone.  Subsequent court rulings caused EPA to stay the portion of the rule based on the 8-hour ozone standard.    Now, the aforementioned court challenges have been resolved, enabling EPA to lift the stay on the 8-hour portion of the rule.  This action would accomplish the removal of that stay.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Section 126 Rule: Withdrawal of Findings for Sources in Michigan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to petitions submitted by four Northeastern States, in January 2000, EPA issued the Section 126 Rule which required sources in Michigan and certain other States to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions for the purpose of reducing interstate ozone transport. EPA coordinated the Section 126 Rule with another rule known as the NOx State implementation plan (SIP) Call, which also addresses ozone transport in the eastern half of the United States. EPA established a mechanism in the Section 126 Rule whereby the rule would be withdrawn for sources in a State if the State submitted, and EPA approved, a SIP that complied with the NOx SIP Call. This was a practical way to address the overlap between the two rules and avoid having sources be subject to two sets of potentially different NOx transport control requirements. As the result of court actions, the compliance dates for the Section 126 Rule and the NOx SIP Call have been delayed and the NOx SIP Call has been divided into two phases. Therefore, in a separate action, EPA recently proposed to revise the Section 126 Rule withdrawal provision so that it will continue to operate under these new circumstances. Under that proposal, where a State submits a NOx SIP that meets only Phase 1 of the NOx SIP Call, EPA would need to make a determination that the SIP controls the total group of Section 126 sources to the same stringency as the Section 126 Rule would before the Section 126 Rule could be withdrawn. The EPA has reviewed and is in the process of approving the Michigan NOx SIP. In this current action, EPA is proposing that the SIP meets the newly proposed Section 126 Rule withdrawal criteria, and therefore, EPA is proposing to withdraw the redundant Section 126 Rule for sources in Michigan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lifting the Stay of the 8-Hour Portion of the Findings of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for Purposes of Reducing Interstate Ozone Transport (NOx SIP Call)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend a final rule EPA issued under section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) related to interstate transport of pollutants.  EPA is proposing to lift the stay of our findings in the nitrogen oxides State Implementation Plan Call (NOx SIP Call) contained in 40 CFR 51.121(a)(2), related to the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The findings were stayed in a final rule published in the Federal Register on September 18, 2000 (65 FR 56245). This action does not create any new requirements; it merely reinstitutes a requirement of the NOx SIP Call that had previously been stayed. The background on the NOx SIP Call and the aforementioned stay are as follows:  In the final NOx SIP Call, EPA found that emissions of NOx from 22 States and the District of Columbia (hereinafter referred to as 23 States) significantly contribute to downwind areas' nonattainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS.  EPA also separately found that NOx emissions from the same 23 States significantly contribute to downwind nonattainment of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS.  Subsequently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) remanded the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. [American Trucking Associations, Inc. v. EPA, 175 F.3d 1027 on rehearing 195 F.3d 4 (D.C. Cir. 1999).]  EPA stayed the 8-hour basis of the NOx SIP Call rule based on the uncertainty created by the D.C. Circuit's decision.  EPA have now completed the actions necessary to address the aforementioned remand, and therefore is now conducting rulemaking to lift the stay.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deferral of Effective Date of Nonattainment Designations for 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Early Action Compact Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to defer the effective date of nonattainment air quality designations for "Early Action Compact Areas" that are violating the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard, but have agreed to reduce ground-level ozone pollution earlier than the Clean Air Act requires. This proposal establishes the first of three dates by which EPA would defer the effective date of nonattainment designations for any of these areas that continues to meet all compact milestones. In a separate action, EPA will designate these areas "nonattainment" by April 15, 2004; however, as long as Early Action Compact areas meet agreed-upon milestones, the impact of nonattainment designation for the 8-hour ozone standard will be deferred until September 30, 2005.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Phase 2 Requirements for Spark-Ignition Nonroad Engines Less Than 19 Kilowatts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA adopted phase 2 requirements for small (less than 19 kilowatts) spark-ignition (gasoline) nonroad engines in March 1999 and April 2000. The Phase 2 requirements are being phased-in between 2001 and 2007. (The majority of the engines covered by these regulations are used in lawn and garden applications.) In February 2003, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, a trade group representing engine manufacturers, petitioned EPA and requested several changes to the phase 2 regulations. This rulemaking includes several amendments to the phase 2 requirements intended to ensure a smooth transition to the phase 2 standards for engine manufacturers. The amendments contain a number of changes to the averaging, banking, and trading program and to the certification process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 27, 2002, EPA promulgated National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Leather Finishing Operations industry.  EPA was subsequently petitioned by two affected facilities concerning the definition of specialty leather.  EPA has engaged in negotiations with these facilities concerning the definition and is issuing these technical corrections to address the concerns.  The amendments to the rule will clarify the definition of specialty leather and provide a means of determining what kinds of leather meet the definition of specialty leather.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer, this rule will seek to create an exemption for emergency uses of methyl bromide, an ozone depleting substance, after the phase-out date of 2005. This exemption will be limited to no more than 20 metric tons per emergency event. This is a deregulatory action that will decrease burden on producers, importers, distributors and applicators of methyl bromide as well as end-users of methyl bromide who are growers and owners of stored food products while still achieving the environmental objectives of the program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer, this rule will seek to allocate quantities of methyl bromide for critical use exemptions to entities within the United States based on amounts of methyl bromide authorized by the parties to the Montreal Protocol for use after the 2005 phase-out date. This action is a deregulatory action that will reduce burden on producers, importers, distributors and applicators of methyl bromide as well as end-users of methyl bromide who are growers and owners of stored food products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Five-Year Review of MACT Standards for Large MWC</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is required to adopt and implement maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards for both new and existing large municipal waste combustion units (MWC). Those MACT standards have been adopted and fully implemented with all retrofits completed. Section 129(a)(5)of the CAA requires EPA to review and, if necessary, revise those standards every 5 years. This rulemaking addresses those requirements and is the first 5-year review of the MACT standards. Implementation of these MACT standards has been highly effective and has reduced dioxin/furan emissions by more than 99 percent since 1990 and mercury emissions by more than 95 percent since 1990. Similar reductions have occurred for other CAA section 129 pollutants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Work Practice for Leak Detection and Repair</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend existing regulations controlling emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from oil refineries under Clean Air Act section 111. These regulations are codified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart GGG. These regulations require periodic leak detection and repair (LDAR) of pumps and valves. The current work practice requires each pump and valve to be individually monitored for leaks. Refineries have had LDAR programs in place for nearly 20 years and view them as burdensome because they are labor intensive. Newer laser based monitoring technology is being developed which will detect leaks at a reduced costs because of the ability to monitor multiple components at one time. This rule would amend the existing regulations which affect refineries to enable the plant operators to use the new technology.]]></ABSTRACT>

Chlor-alkali plants are among the source categories listed to achieve the 90 percent goal for mercury. Currently, the source category includes 11 plants located in 10 states engaged in the production of chlorine and caustic using mercury cells. Together, these plants account for 45 percent of the nationwide mercury inventory for non-combustion sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is amending the rule on refrigerant recycling, promulgated under section 608 of the Clean Air Act to clarify how the statutory venting prohibition of the act applies to refrigerants that are used as substitutes for CFC and HCFC ozone-depleting refrigerants.  It also exempts certain substitute refrigerants from the prohibition on the basis of current evidence that their release does not pose a threat to the environment.  In addition, EPA is extending the refrigerant sales restriction to substitute refrigerants that consist of an ozone-depleting substance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Plywood and Composite Wood Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 hardboard, oriented strandboard (OSB), medium density fiberboard (MDF), particleboard, 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.  The project may also include some coatings operations. The name of the source category was formerly Plywood and Particleboard MACT.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Combustion Turbine</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The combustion turbine source category is listed as a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). A major source is one which emits more than 10 tons/yr of one HAP or more than 25 tons/yr of a combination of 189 HAPs. Combustion turbines also emit NOx, SO2, CO, and PM. Combustion turbines are already regulated for NOx and SO2 emissions under section 111 of the CAA.  The combustion turbine MACT was published in the Federal Register on January 14, 2003.  A public hearing was held on January 29, 2003 and the public comment period closed on February 28, 2003.  Comments and data received during the comment period resulted in a reanalysis of the MACT floor and MACT for different subcategories.  Subcategories based on fuel were developed (oil and natural gas) in response to public comments.  A delisting petition for some combustion turbine subcategories was sent to EPA on August 28, 2002.  The subcategory list and the regulation will be revised if these combustion turbine subcategories are delisted.  The final combustion turbine MACT will be signed by the Administrator in August 2003.]]></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>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Implementation of the rulemaking would reduce nationwide emissions of air toxics by 58,000 tons per year in the fifth year.  Mercury emissions would be reduced by almost 2 tons per year.  Those reductions would lower ambient air concentrations and levels of exposure.  In addition to HAP emissions reductions, reductions in criteria pollutant emissions (i.e., particulate matter, sulfur dioxide) would also be realized.  The total nationwide capital costs for the rulemaking as proposed is about $1.7 billion, with an annualized cost of $840 million.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[In section 112 of the Clean Air Act, Congress found that there is sufficient evidence of risk to warrant a broad, technology-based MACT program to reduce toxic emissions nationwide.  The risks from this industry are those normally associated with combustion, such as exposure to particulate matter and sulfur oxides.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 requires the 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 lime manufacturing plants may be major sources for one or more HAPs. As a consequence, a regulation (emission standards) is being developed for the lime manufacturing industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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[The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, requires EPA to develop emission standards for sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).  The surface coating of new automobiles and light-duty trucks is among the 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 this source categorie 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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project is to develop national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants by establishing maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for facilities distributing organic liquids. MACT standards are under development to reduce the release of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from all industries to protect the public health and environment. This project should include but is not limited to those activities associated with the storage and distribution of organic liquids other than gasoline at sites that serve as distribution points from which organic liquids may be obtained for further use and processing.]]></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[This final amendment will also allow hard chromium electroplating facilities using fume suppressants for emission control to meet a surface tension limit similar to the requirements for decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing facilities instead of the present requirement to meet an emission limit. Facilities choosing to use fume suppressants for emission control would be required to monitor the surface tension at the same frequency currently required for decorative chromium and chromium anodizing tanks and demonstrate compliance with the surface tension operating limit. Like decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing facilities, hard chromium electroplating facilities would now be allowed to monitor surface tension to demonstrate compliance in lieu of performance testing.]]></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>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>

        <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>Rescinding Finding that Preexisting 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 preexisting 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.   No negative comments were received. EPA/DOJ signed the settlement agreement and the State is in the process of carrying out its obligations under the settlement agreement.  The State submitted its maintenance plan for Boise on 9/27/2002.  Under the settlement, EPA agreed to take final action on the State's submittal by 9/30/2003.  On July 30, 2003 a Feferal Register notice was published proposing to rescind the finding that the 1987 PM10 NAAQS are not applicable in the Ada County/Boise, Idaho area, and simultaneously, to approve a PM10 SIP maintenance plan for the Ada County/Boise Idaho area and to redesignate the area from nonattainment to attainment.  There will be a 30-day comment period.  Written comments must be received on or before August 29, 2003.  Under the settlement agreement, we must sign and forward to the Federal Register office our final action by September 30, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the 40 CFR Part 194 Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Compliance Criteria</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing several revisions to the compliance criteria in 40 CFR Part 194: (1) addition of a process for making minor changes to the provisions of the Compliance Criteria (194.6); (2) changes to the approval process for waste characterization programs at the Department of Energy transuranic (TRU) waste sites (194.8(b)); (3) changes to allow for submission of compliance applications and reference materials in alternative format (e.g., compact disk) (194.12 & 194.13); and replacement of the term "process knowledge" with "acceptable knowledge".  The second item is the most significant change.  Section 194.8(b) requires EPA to inspect TRU waste sites on a waste stream basis, and to initiate a notice-and-comment process for each inspection.  If a site receives our approval to ship a single waste stream or group of waste streams, that site cannot ship a different waste stream until we perform an additional 194.8(b) inspection.  Based on actual site inspection experience, we have learned that for regulatory purposes emphasis is better placed on the processes used to characterize the wastes streams rather than on the particular  waste streams themselves.  Also, we had witnessed DOE's capacity to properly characterize numerous waste streams at different waste generator sites.  On this basis, we are proposing to alter the waste characterization approval process so that only one approval would be issued per site.  EPA will assign reporting requirements for waste characterization activities and specify any limitations that would necessitate additional inspections. The purpose of the proposed revisions to 194.8(b) is to achieve process and resources efficiencies while maintaining our confidence in DOE's technical capability to characterize wastes destined for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 U.S. 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 and 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>

        <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>Rulemaking on Section 126 Petitions from New York and Connecticut Regarding Sources in Michigan; Revision of Definition of Applicable Requirement for Title V Operating Permit Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA is proposing to revise the section 126 Rule in light of the March 3, 2000 court decision 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, 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, EPA is proposing to withdraw its section 126 findings and control requirements 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 EPA is also proposing to revise the definition "applicable requirement" for title V operating permit programs by providing expressly that any standard or other requirement under section 126 is an applicable requirement and must be included in operating permits issued under title V of the CAA.]]></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 finalizing the notice 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 Arc Furnace NSPS Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sources affected by the NSPS for electric arc furnaces (aubparts 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>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>Proposed 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Emissions from Highway Motorcycles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is finalizing actions to reduce emissions from highway motorcycles, which currently are subject to existing emission standards that were put in place over 20 years ago.  Emissions control technologies have advanced significantly since that time, and EPA believes it is appropriate to put in place more stringent standards for hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions that reflect this progress.  The final standards are consistent with standards California has recently promulgated, thereby creating the opportunity to industry to produce and market products nationwide.   EPA proposed new emission standards for highway motorcycles on August 14, 2002 (67 FR 53050), in a proposal that also included a proposal for evaporative emission standards for marine vessels that use spark-ignition engines.  The final rule now involves only new emission standards for highway motorcycles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation Rule for 8-hour Ozone NAAQS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would provide specific requirements for State and local air pollution control agencies and tribes to prepare State implementation plans (SIPs) and Tribal Implementation Plans (TIPs) under the 8-hour national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone, published by EPA on July 18, 1997. The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires EPA to set ambient air quality standards and requires States to submit SIPs to implement those standards.  The 1997 standards were challenged in court, but in February 2001, the Supreme Court determined that EPA has authority to implement a revised ozone standard, but ruled that EPA must reconsider its implementation plan for moving from the 1-hour standard to the revised standard. The Supreme Court identified conflicts between different parts of the CAA related to implementation of a revised NAAQS, provided some direction to EPA for resolving the conflicts, and left it to EPA to develop a reasonable approach for implementation. Thus, this rulemaking must address the requirements of the CAA and the Supreme Court's ruling.  This rule would provide detailed provisions to address the CAA requirements for SIPs and TIPs and would thus affect States and Tribes. States with areas that are not attaining the 8-hour ozone NAAQS will have to develop -- as part of their SIPs -- emission limits and other requirements to attain the NAAQS within the timeframes set forth in the CAA.   Tribal lands that are not attaining the 8-hour ozone standard may be affected, and could voluntarily submit a TIP, but would not be required to submit a TIP. In cases where a TIP is not submitted, EPA would have the responsibility for planning in those areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This action is needed in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in February 2001 (Whitman v. American Trucking Assoc., 121 S.Ct.903) that stated that EPA has the authority to implement a revised ozone NAAQS but that EPA could not ignore the provisions of subpart 2 when implementing the 8-hour NAAQS.  The Supreme Court identified several portions of subpart 2 that are ill-fitted to the revised NAAQS but left it to EPA to develop a reasonable implementation approach. Consequently, EPA is developing a rule to implement the 8-hour ozone NAAQS under the provisions of subpart 2 of the CAA.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This entry comprises the action the Agency plans to take to implement the 8-hour ozone NAAQS.  The major alternatives facing the Agency is whether the 8-hour O3 NAAQS should be implemented under the less prescriptive part of the Clean Air Act (title I, part D, subpart 1) or the more prescriptive part of the Act (subpart 2).  Another major set of alternatives concern the kind of transition EPA should make from implementation of the current 1-hour ozone standard to the new 8-hour ozone standard.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA prepared a regulatory impact analysis for the final ozone NAAQS, and has prepared a cost analysis for the proposed implementation rule.  The benefits of the rule are those associated with attainment of the ozone NAAQS including 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, and increases in yields of commercial forests currently exposed to elevated ozone levels.]]></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 were outlined in detail in the Regulatory Impact Analysis for the ozone NAAQS rulemaking.  The results are summarized in the Federal Register notice for that rulemaking (62 FR 38856, July 18, 1997).]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to add n-propylbromide (nPB) to the list of acceptable substitutes for class I and class II ozone depleting substances used as solvents for general metals, precision, and electronics cleaning, as well as in aerosol solvent and adhesives end uses. This would provide another alternative to solvents with higher ozone depletion potential that industry is interested in using.  The rule also would propose specific conditions on the use of nPB as a solvent. These might include limiting the specific applications in which it may be used to those with low emissions and requiring exposure limits consistent with industry practices. This will ensure that nPB is used in a manner that is safe and environmentally protective. OSHA does not currently regulate nPB.  EPA would revise our ruling to adopt whatever OSHA requires if OSHA later regulates the use of nPB. If finalized as proposed, this rule would be consistent with most existing industry practices and would impose little or no burden on industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Emissions of Air Pollution From Nonroad Diesel Engines and Fuel</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 23, 2003, EPA proposed new emission controls for nonroad diesel engines, which are generally used in industrial, mining, and agricultural applications.  The control strategies proposed focused around the use of advanced exhaust aftertreatment technologies for the first time in these applications. This technology reduces emissions of NOx, NMHC, and PM of over 90 percent. The  standards would phase-in between 2008 and 2014, with different implementation schedules applicable to each of the five engine horsepower categories. Less stringent standards would apply to the smallest horsepower category. Coupled with these proposed engine standards is a two-step reduction in fuel sulfur levels, going from uncontrolled levels to 500 ppm in 2007 and then to 15 ppm in 2010.  All nonroad diesel fuel, including that used in locomotive and marine applications, is covered in the first step while locomotive and marine fuel is not involved in the second step.  This overall program builds on the successful 2007 highway diesel program the Agency completed in 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Eleven separate alternatives were analyzed as part of the proposal.  Estimated cost impacts and benefits were estimated where possible.  The alternatives looked at varying implementation dates or control strategies of both the fuel and engine standards.  In addition, controlling sulfur levels to 15 ppm in 2010 for locomotive and marine diesel fuel was also analyzed.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The total cost (engine and fuel standards) estimate of the proposed requirements was approximately $1.5 billion per year.  In 2030, when the full effects of the rule would be in place, the quantifiable benefits would be approximately $81 billion per year.  This estimate includes the impacts of reducing 9,600 cases of premature mortality, almost a million work lost days, and improvements to recreational visibility.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Clarify the Scope of the Sufficiency Monitoring Requirements for Federal and State Operating Permits Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of these rulemakings is to clarify that under 40 CFR 70.6(c)(1) and 71.6(c)(1), all title V permits must contain monitoring sufficient to assure compliance with the permits' terms and conditions, as required under sections 504(a), 504 (b), 504(c) and 114(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act, where section 70.6(a)(3)(i)(B) or section 71.6(a)(3) is not applicable. Specifically, these rulemakings are limited to the suspension and removal of the prefatory phrase "(c)onsistent with paragraph (a)(3) of this section" from the sufficiency monitoring requirement in section 70.6(c)(1) and section 71.6(c)(1). The suspension and removal will codify the Administrator's interpretation of the title V monitoring requirements as set forth in two adjudicatory orders issued in 2000 in response to petitions to object to title V permits (the Pacificorp and Fort James orders) and will be consistent with two prior decisions of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit concerning the title V monitoring requirements. We are undertaking these rulemakings consistent with the defense of pending litigation, Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA, No. 01-1204 (D.C. Cir.). In this litigation, the Utility Air Regulatory Group (UARG) has asserted, in part, that EPA's interpretation of section 70.6(c)(1) and section 71.6(c)(1) as stated in the Pacificorp and Fort James orders is overbroad because the prefatory language in these sufficiency monitoring regulations (i.e., consistent with paragraph (a)(3)) limits their scope to that of the periodic monitoring provisions at section 70.6(a)(3) and section 71.6(a)(3).  While EPA disagrees with UARG's assertions, EPA believes that further clarification through rulemaking would be useful. The EPA believes that suspension and removal of the prefatory language will de-link the sufficiency monitoring requirement from the separate periodic monitoring requirement, and thus, make more clear the distinction between the two requirements. Specifically, this rulemaking will clarify that where an applicable requirement does not require any periodic testing or monitoring, permit conditions are required to establish "periodic monitoring sufficient to yield reliable data from the relevant time period that are representative of the source's compliance with the permit" under section 70.6(a)(3)(i)(B) or section 71.6(a)(3). Where the applicable requirement already requires "periodic" testing or monitoring but that monitoring is not sufficient to assure compliance, the separate regulatory standard at section 70.6(c)(1) or section 71.6(c)(1) applies instead to require monitoring "sufficient to assure compliance." These rulemakings do not address any other issues related to Title V monitoring, such as the type of monitoring required under the periodic or sufficiency monitoring provisions. The EPA expects to consider comments on these other monitoring issues during a separate, future notice-and-comment rulemaking.  The rulemakings simply clarify existing requirements, rather than impose new requirements. Any future rulemaking actions on the scope of sufficiency monitoring will be subject to OMB review because the related proposal was found to be a "significant regulatory action" under Executive Order 12866 due to "novel legal or policy issues."  In addition, all such rulemaking actions have been found not to be economically significant, and they will not result in additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Quality: Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic Compounds -- Exclusion of 4 Compounds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is a deregulatory action to exclude four compounds from the list of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the basis that these compounds make a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. These four compounds are: 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-3-methoxy-propane (n-C3F7OCH3; 3-ethoxy-,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-dodecafluoro-2- (trifluoromethyl) hexane (known as HFE-7500, HFE-s702, T-7145, and L-15381); 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (known as HFC 227ea); and methyl formate (HCOOCH3). These compounds have potential for use as refrigerants, fire suppressants, aerosol propellants, sterilants, blowing agents (used in the manufacture of foamed plastic), and solvents. This action will remove the necessity to control these four compounds as VOCs in State Implementation Plans for attaining the ozone standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Chlorine Production</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action announces our decision not to issue regulations for the Chlorine Production source category. The source category is composed of nearly 50 facilities that produce chlorine using several different methods. We have determined that 21 of these facilities are major sources, including 20 chlor-alkali plants that produce chlorine and caustic as co-products through the electrolysis of brine, and one primary magnesium refining facility that produces chlorine as a by-product of magnesium metal production. Primary magnesium refining is a separately listed source category and, as such, the one refiner will be addressed in a separate rulemaking.  None of the 20 chlor-alkali plants are in and of themselves major sources. All are well-controlled and emit negligible amounts of chlorine and, in some cases, additional negligible amounts of hydrochloric acid. These sources are major only due to collocation. That is, they are part of larger establishments that are major sources. These larger establishments include organic chemical manufacturers, polymer and resin producers, and pulp and paper mills, all of which are already subject to one or more NESHAP.  Section 112(d)(4) gives us the discretion to consider risk in issuing MACT standards for pollutants for which a health threshold has been established, provided that the public health is protected with an ample margin of safety. Chlorine and HC1 are both threshold pollutants for which we have defined threshold values in the form of Inhalation Reference Concentrations (RfCs). We have modeled chlorine and HC1 emissions from each of the 20 chlor-alkali plants and have determined that none of the plants emit chlorine or HC1 in quantities that result in human exposures in the ambient air at levels approaching the threshold values. Therefore, we conclude that no further control or regulation is necessary.  NOTE: Three of the 20 chlor-alkali plants operate mercury cells. We are addressing mercury emissions from mercury cell chlor-alkali plants in a separate proposal, which is currently under development.  To facilitate comment, we plan to publish both the mercury cell proposal and this action on chlorine production in the same issue of the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) FY 2001 Report to Congress</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Report to Congress is required by section 23(a)(2) of the WIPP Land Withdrwal Act, which requires EPA to submit an annual report to Congress "on the status of and resources required for the fulfillment of the Administrator's responsibilities under the Act" regarding the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). This report summarizes the activities and progress EPA has made in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Act and outlines the resources required for the Agency to meet its commitments.  The WIPP is an underground repository for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste generated as byproducts from nuclear weapons production. It was constructed by the Department of Energy (DOE) and is located near Carlsbad, New Mexico. In 1998, EPA certified that the WIPP complies with EPA's radioactive waste disposal standards at subpart B and C of 40 CFR 191 and EPA's WIPP compliance criteria at 40 CFR 194, and thus is safe to contain radioactive waste. Since that time, the DOE has begun emplacing waste in the WIPP. The waste is stored approximately 2,100 feet underground in excavated, natural salt formations. EPA also has responsibility for assuring continual compliance with EPA's radioactive waste disposal standards.  EPA continues to have an oversight role at the WIPP to ensure that it continues to protect human health and the environment. This Report summarizes EPA's actvities past and present.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Section 126 Rule Withdrawal Provision</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to revise one narrow aspect of the section 126 rule, which was promulgated January 18, 2000.  The rule requires certain sources located in the eastern United States to reduce their NOx emissions for purposes of reducing ozone transport.  EPA coordinated the section 126 rule with a related ozone transport rule, known as the NOx State implementation plan call (NOx SIP Call), which also addresses ozone transport in the eastern United States.  The EPA established the same compliance date for both rules, May 1, 2003.  The EPA included a provision in the section 126 rule which provided that where a State adopted, and EPA approved, a SIP controlling transport under the NOx SIP   Call, and with a May 1, 2003 compliance date, EPA would withdraw the section 126 requirements for sources in that State.  This was a practical way to address the overlap between the two rules and avoid having sources be subject to two sets of potentially different NOx transport control requirements.  As the result of court actions, the  compliance dates for the section 126 Rule and the NOx SIP Call have both been delayed until May 31, 2004.  In addition, the NOx SIP Call has been divided into two phases.  Therefore, it is necessary to revise the section 126 rule withdrawal provision so that it will continue to operate under these new circumstances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants; Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NESHAP for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants was promulgated in 1997 (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LL). The amendments described here would revise the emission limit for polycyclic organic matter applicable to one subcategory of source based on newly available data more representative of performance from the top five performing sources. The proposed amendments would also clarify language on compliance dates and add specific provisions for startup of new or reconstructed affected sources and affected sources that restart after being idled for long periods of time. More time would be allowed due to the nature of the process operation, depending on the type of source. No additional costs or information collection requirements would be incurred as a result of the amendments. There also are no significant policy issues. State agency and industry representatives concur with the changes, which will improve implementation of the 1997 rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP for Source Categories: General Provisions; Amendments for Pollution Prevention Alternative Compliance Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing amendments to the part 63 general provisions that would allow facilities that are subject to a maximum achievable control technology (MACT) Subpart to discontinue unnecessary requirements if, through pollution prevention measures, they achieve and can demonstrate continued hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emission reductions equivalent to or better than the MACT level of control. We are proposing these amendments to encourage and promote pollution prevention, which is our strategy of first choice in reducing HAP emissions. We expect these amendments to result in no additional burden for sources and air pollution control agencies. This effort is the product of discussions with State and local air pollution control officials. There also are no significant policy issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to the Guideline on Air Quality Models (Appendix W to 40 CFR Part 51):  Adoption of a Preferred General Purpose (Flat and Complex Terrain) Dispersion Model and Other Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would revise the Guideline on Air Quality Models, published as appendix W to 40 CFR part 51.  The guideline provides EPA-recommended models for use in predicting ambient concentrations of pollutants for programs ranging from Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) to State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for controlling air pollution sources.  The guideline fulfills a Clean Air Act mandate for EPA to specify models for air management purposes. This revision would enhance the Guideline by incorporating a new, general purpose dispersion model called AERMOD, which would replace the existing Industrial Source Complex (ISC3) model in many air-quality assessments, including those involving complex terrain.  An earlier version of the AERMOD revision was previously proposed (65 FR 21505, 4/21/2000; see SAN 3470), but not promulgated.  We are reproposing it to reflect changes made in response to public comment we received on the April 2000 proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Requirements on Variability in the Composition of Additives Certified Under the Gasoline Deposit Control Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A direct final rule and parallel notice of proposed rulemaking were published on November 5, 2001, in response to a settlement agreement reached with the American Chemical Council (ACC) regarding their litigation on the Gasoline Deposit Control Additive Rule.  This litigation pertained to the information that manufacturers must provide on additive composition at the time of certification.  Adverse comments were received on two of the four amendments.  A partial withdrawal notice was published on January 24, 2002, which withdrew the amendments on which we received adverse comments.  In this action, we plan to finalize the provisions that were withdrawn.  The provisions we plan to finalize are based on an ACC consensus position, which reduces the burden on manufacturers in demonstrating compliance with limits on the compositional variability of the deposit control additives, while maintaining the emissions control benefits of the gasoline deposit control program.]]></ABSTRACT>

At that time, EPA also published a concurrent proposed rule to be used in case the direct final rule received adverse comment. Such adverse comment was received, and a portion of that June 12 rule had to be withdrawn. This action will respond to that adverse comment and address the aforementioned withdrawn material.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Congress mandated that EPA promulgate regulations for reformulated and conventional gasoline. The purpose of this mandate was to reduce vehicle emissions of toxic and ozone-forming compounds.  EPA published the regulations on February 16, 1994. On July 11, 1997, EPA published a proposed rule that included various minor adjustments to the 1994 rule.  The emissions benefits achieved from the reformulated gasoline and conventional gasoline programs would not be reduced by the proposed changes.  On December 31, 1997, EPA finalized many of the proposed changes.  This rule would finalize the remaining changes that were not included in the December 31, 1997 final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The ethylene production NESHAP was promulgated on Friday, July 12, 2002 (67 FR 46258) without petition for judicial review.  However, we did receive a letter from the affected industry association requesting that we consider certain technical corrections.  Following review of this request, we believe some changes to the final rule are necessary for clarity and consistency.  This correction requires an action in the form of a direct final rule which will contain rule changes, technical amendments and clarifications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Subparts H and I for Emissions of Radionuclides Other Than Radon from DOE Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subparts H and I of 40 CFR Part 61 establish standards under the Clean Air Act for emissions of radionuclides other than radon from Department of Energy (DOE) and other non-DOE federal facilities. Under subparts H and I, regulated entities currently determine compliance with the emission standards by utilizing the approved computer models CAP88 and AIRDOS-PC or any other procedures for which EPA has granted prior approval. Since promulgation of Subparts H and I, EPA has developed an additional model, GENII-NESHAPS, which is suitable for regulated entities to use to determine compliance, in addition to the currently-approved models mentioned above. The model was developed to incorporate the internal dosimetry models recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the radiological risk estimating procedures of Federal Guidance Report 13 into updated versions of existing environmental pathway analysis models. The model was developed under the direction of OAR's Office of Radiation and Indoor Air, in consultation with OAR's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS). Also, GENII-NESHAPs has undergone Science Advisory Board (SAB) review. In this direct final rule, EPA is updating Subparts H and I to include GENII-NESHAPS as an approved compliance model.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA is taking final action to amend the Federal Operating Permits Program to extend the date by which state-exempt major agricultural sources in California must pay fees and to allow their permit applications to be considered complete even though fees will not be paid at the time the applications are due. This action allows EPA to process the applications and issue permits while the Agency computes a fee amount based on the cost of administering the permits program for these sources. The amendments extend the due date for submitting operating permit fees to EPA until May 14, 2004 for agricultural sources that are major sources subject to title V but are not being permitted by 34 Clean Air Act title V operating permits programs in the State of California.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, EPA will be allocating essential-use allowances for import and production of class I stratospheric ozone depleting substances (ODSs) for calendar year 2004. Essential-use allowances permit a person to obtain controlled class I ODSs as an exemption to the January 1, 1996 regulatory phase-out of class I ODS solely for the designated essential purpose. This regulation will allocate essential use allowances for CFCs for use in metered dose inhalers for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease, and methyl chloroform for use in the space shuttle.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Quality Designations and Classifications for the 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1997, EPA promulgated the revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone. This action is intended to promulgate designations and classifications for areas across the country as attainment/unclassifiable or nonattainment. The CAA defines a nonattainment area to include the area that is violating the NAAQS and any nearby areas that are contributing to the violation of the NAAQS. The process for designations following promulgation of a NAAQS is contained in Section 107(d)(1) of the CAA. EPA requested States and Tribes to make recommendations regarding attainment of their areas by July 15, 2004. EPA will review the recommended designations and may make modifications as deemed necessary to such recommendations. If EPA determines that a modification is needed, the EPA will notify the State and Tribes no later than 120 days prior to promulgating final designations, which provides an opportunity for States and Tribes to defend their recommended positions. In cases where the States or Tribes do not submit recommendations, EPA will promulgate the designations for areas it deems appropriate. Final ozone designations will be promulgated on April 15, 2004]]></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).  EPA conducted monitoring to evaluate sources of SO2 peaks and is currently analyzing these data.. The results of this project will inform the response to the remand.]]></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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation Conformity Rule Amendment: Clarification of Trading Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Phase I (FIP) 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. All of these States have since submitted approvable plans. (Note: The FIPs discussed here would 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 would be prepared for those.)]]></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>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) was published that, among other things, anticipated that EPA would 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.  As result the overall schedule for the review of the PM NAAQS has extended 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) prepared by EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment.  The EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards will then 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 CD and SP will be reviewed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) and the public, and both final documents 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 considered in the Administrator's final decision.]]></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 EPA took rulemaking action on similar petitions from 8 other Northeastern States that were submitted in 1997.]]></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>NESHAP: Industrial Process Cooling Towers Residual Risk Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A national emission standard for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for industrial process cooling towers (IPCT) was previously promulgated under Section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act. That standard effectively bans the use of chromium-based water treatment chemicals in IPCT used to remove heat from chemical or industrial processes. The Clean Air Act Section 112(f) requires us to assess within 8 years of promulgation of a NESHAP the remaining risk to the public and to develop additional more stringent standards if such standards are needed to protect the public health with an ample margin of safety. This action is to examine the remaining risk from IPCT and, if warranted, to develop new risk based standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Secondary Lead Smelting Residual Risk Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[National emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for secondary lead smelting were promulgated on June 23, 1995 under Clean Air Act Section 112(d). The standards establish emission limitations and work practice standards for all new and existing secondary lead smelters that produce refined lead from lead scrap, mainly lead acid batteries. Clean Air Act Section 112(f) requires us to assess within 8 years of promulgation of a NESHAP the remaining risk to the public and to develop additional more stringent standards if such standards are needed to protect the public health with an ample margin of safety. This action is to examine the remaining risk from secondary lead smelters and to develop new risk based standards, if warranted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Clean Units</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise the provisions for the clean unit test contained in the major New Source Review (NSR) requirements.  This action proposes to revise the length of the clean unit designation period contained in the final NSR rules.  The current rules allow for clean unit designation to be used for 10 years provided the source meets the requirements to maintain clean unit status.  This proposed rule would recognize that the average life expectancy of control equipment is 15 years rather than the 10 years contained in the final rules.  Permitting agencies and industry will benefit from this action by potentially reducing the number of future permit actions.  As a result, this action reduces the compliance burden, including annual compliance costs, for all sources subject to the major NSR program requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Selection of Sequence of Mandatory Sanctions To Be Applied Pursuant to Section 502 of the Clean Air Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish the order of sanctions for operating permits program deficiencies under the mandatory sanctions provisions of title V of the Clean Air Act. This rule would stipulate that an emission offset sanction applies first and a highway funding sanction six months later. Sanction application under section 502 of the Clean Air Act is automatic under the timeframes prescribed once EPA selects the sanction order; EPA's only discretion concerns the ordering of sanctions as discussed above. Thus, the only relevant potential impact is the effect of applying, as a general matter, the emission offset sanction six months before the highway sanction. The EPA does not believe this will have a significant impact given the short period of time the offset sanction will apply before the highway sanction would apply when States fail to correct title V deficiencies. Moreover, EPA also believes that, in the event applying the highway sanction is not necessary six months following the offset sanction, because the State has corrected the deficiency prompting the finding, applying the offset sanction first eliminates the need for EPA and other agencies to bear the greater administrative and implementation burden of having to effectuate the highway sanction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A national emission standard for chromium emissions from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks was previously promulgated under Section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act. That standard set emission limits for chromium emissions from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks. The Clean Air Act Section 112(f) requires us to assess within 8 years of promulgation of a NESHAP the remaining risk to the public and to develop additional more stringent standards if such standards are needed to protect the public health with an ample margin of safety. This action is to examine the remaining risk from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks and, if warranted, to develop new risk based standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition to Delist Hazardous Air Pollutant : 4,4&apos;-Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act requires EPA to regulate 188 compounds that are listed as air toxics, also known as hazardous air pollutants. Air toxics are those pollutants known, or suspected, to cause cancer and other human health problems. The law allows EPA to consider petitions to modify the list, by adding or removing substances. Individuals seeking to remove a substance must demonstrate that there are adequate data to determine that emissions, outdoor concentrations, bioaccumulation, or atmospheric deposition of the substance may not reasonably be anticipated to damage human health or the environment. The Agency received a petition to remove 4,4'-Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) from the American Chemistry Council on December 26, 2002. Once EPA receives a petition, it conducts two reviews: a completeness review, to determine whether there is sufficient information on which to base a decision; and a technical review, to evaluate the merits of the petition. The EPA also requests and considers information from the public. After a comprehensive technical review of both the petition and the information received from the public to determine whether the petition satisfies the requirements of the CAA, the review team is required to make a recommendation to the Administrator on whether to grant the petition. If the Administrator decides to grant a petition, a proposed rule is published in the Federal Register which proposes a modification of the HAP list and presents the reasoning for doing so. The proposed rule is open to public comment and public hearing and all additional substantive information received during the public's involvement is evaluated prior to the decision on the issuance of a final rule. However, if the Administrator decides to deny a petition, a notice setting forth an explanation of the reasons for denial is published instead. A notice of denial constitutes final Agency action of nationwide scope and applicability, and is subject to judicial review as proided in the CAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Voluntary Superior Monitoring</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Emissions Measurement Center of EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards in Research Triangle Park, NC is exploring a regulatory option called "Voluntary Superior Monitoring (VSM)." Under this option, owners/operators of industrial air pollution sources could volunteer to conduct "superior" monitoring which could range from more frequent monitoring of emissions to replacement of existing monitoring. In return for conducting superior monitoring, EPA will offer incentives to these sources, such as less record keeping and reporting, some flexibility in control device or process operation, or flexibility in averaging times for determining compliance with the standard. We are also planning to provide guidance on how to implement Voluntary Superior Monitoring and what criteria industrial sources would need to meet to be eligible for this program.  This rulemaking will be beneficial for both industry and the environment. Industry will be encouraged to conduct better monitoring which will potentially allow them to monitor their processes better, ensure their control equipment is running efficiently, and focus their maintenance practices. As a result of this improved monitoring by industry, we expect that air emissions will be reduced significantly. Industry will also be better able to demonstrate compliance with data collected from the superior monitoring. These data will also demonstrate to citizens that an industry is in compliance and, thus, a "good neighbor." We expect this rule to be implemented through the operating permits program which will involve state and local air pollution control agencies and the EPA regional offices.   Instead of revising each individual New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant (NESHAP) to incorporate superior monitoring provisions, we envision proposing this regulatory option by revising the general provisions to parts 60, 61, and 63. The general provisions contain monioring, testing, recordkeeping, reporting, and other requirements common to all NSPS and/or NESHAP. In addition, we believe that the operating permit program in parts 70 and 71 will need to be modified to allow this approach.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consideration of Industry Petition to Remove the Two-Piece Can Subcategory From the Clean Air Act Hazardous Air Pollutant Source Category List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency has received a petition to remove the two-piece can subcategory from the Metal Can Surface Coating source category, which is on the list of hazardous air pollutant source categories under section 112(c) of the Clean Air Act. The Agency must review the petition and either grant or deny the petition within 12 months of the date the complete petition is received. If the Agency grants the petition, a notice of proposed rulemaking will be published in the Federal Register, allowing the opportunity for public comment. If the Agency denies the petition, a notice of denial will be published in the Federal Register providing an explanation of the denial.  The Can Manufactures Association submitted the petition on November 4, 1996, and provided additional materials through April 4, 1999. At that time we determined the petition was complete. A final decision on the merits of the petition has been delayed due to outstanding toxicological issues regarding two pollutants (formaldehyde and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGBE)), and due to a technically weak ecological assessment prepared by the petitioner. Issues with formaldehyde and EGBE should be resolved soon and we are still awaiting an updated ecological assessment from the petitioner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consideration of Industry Petition to Remove Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether from the Clean Air Act List of Hazardous Air Pollutants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency received a petition to remove Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl ether (EGBE, 2-Butoxyethanol) from the American Chemistry Council on August 29, 1997, with additional submittals through December 21, 1998. This action will address that petition. A final decision on the petition will involve the resolution of toxicological issues with EGBE, including whether or not it is a human carcinogen. The institutional structure under which the petition will be considered is as follows: The Clean Air Act requires EPA to regulate 188 compounds that are listed as air toxics, also known as hazardous air pollutants. Air toxics are those pollutants known, or suspected, to cause cancer and other human health problems. The law allows EPA to consider petitions to modify the list, by adding or removing substances. Individuals seeking to remove a substance must demonstrate that there are adequate data to determine that emissions, outdoor concentrations, bioaccumulation, or atmospheric deposition of the substance may not reasonably be anticipated to damage human health or the environment. Once EPA receives a petition, it conducts two reviews: a completeness review, to determine whether there is sufficient information on which to base a decision; and a technical review, to evaluate the merits of the petition. The EPA also requests and considers information from the public. After a comprehensive technical review of both the petition and the information received from the public to determine whether the petition satisfies the requirements of the CAA, the review team recommends to the Administrator whether to grant the petition. If the Administrator decides to grant a petition, we propose a rule in the Federal Register which proposes a modification of the HAP list and presents the reasoning for doing so. The proposed rule is open to public comment and public hearing If the Administrator decides to deny a petition, a notice setting forth an explanation of the reasons for denial is published instead. A notice of denial constitutes final Agency action of nationwide scope and applicability, and is subject to judicial review as provided in the CAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Emissions of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles: On-Board Diagnostic Requirments for Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles Above 14,000 Pounds and In-Use, Not-To-Exceed Emission Standard Testi</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to establish on-board diagnostic (OBD) requirements for heavy-duty on-highway and non-road vehicles and engines greater than 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. This action will also propose to require manufacturers of these vehicles and engines to make available emissions-related service information to after market service providers. OBD systems are intended to monitor the performance of emission controls on these vehicles and engines to ensure proper functionality and compliance with emissions standards.  This notice also proposes a manufacturer run in use testing program for heavy-duty engines and vehicles to assess compliance with the applicable not to exceed standards beginning in 2007.  This portion of the notice has a court-ordered date for May 2004 and final May 2005 as a result of a settlement between EPA , ARB, and Engine Manufacturers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mineral Wool Production Residual Risk Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs us to assess the risk remaining (residual risk) after the application of control technology standards under section 112(d) (MACT). The EPA is to promulgate more stringent standards for a category or subcategory of sources subject to MACT standards under section 112(d) if promulgation of such standards is necessary to protect public health with an ample margin of safety or to prevent (taking into consideration various factors) adverse environmental effects. In particular, the CAA specifies the cancer risk of concern for setting more stringent standards. The CAA states that if the MACT standards do not reduce lifetime excess cancer risk to the individual most exposed to emissions ... to less than one in one million, the Administrator shall promulgate standards under this subsection for such source categories.  The standards to be promulgated under this subsection must provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health in accordance with this section (as in effect before the date of enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990), unless the Administrator determines that a more stringent standard is necessary to prevent, taking into consideration costs, energy, safety, and other relevant factors, an adverse environmental impact. Section 112(f)(2)(B) expressly preserves EPA's interpretation of an ample margin of safety developed in the 1989 benzene NESHAP final rule.  EPA will review the mineral wool production MACT standard and conduct analyses to determine whether the residual risk warrants further regulation.  The CAA requires that the residual risk rules be promulgated (if necessary) within eight years (nine for the two-year bin standards) after the promulgation of the associated MACT standard. The MACT rule for the mineral wool production source category was promulgated on June 1, 1999. Therefore, the statutory deadline for promulgating a residual risk rule (if necessary) for this source category is June 1, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

These standards are codified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart FFF. The current action, required by section 112(f) of the Clean Air Act, is to assess residual risk that remains once that rule becomes effective, and develop additional emission standards, as necessary, to provide an ample margin of safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In American Trucking Associations, Inc., et al., v. EPA, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated revisions to the PM10 national ambient air quality standards issued by EPA in 1997, and left intact the pre-existing PM10 standards. To conform the Code of Federal Regulations to the court's decision, it is necessary to remove the revised standards and all associated regulations and interpretative materials. Because this is purely a ministerial action, final rulemaking without opportunity for public review and comment is justified under "good cause" provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Quality Designations for the PM-2.5 NAAQS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets out final air quality designations and classifications for all areas of the United States as required by section 107 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The air quality status of an area is represented by the designation of the area. Designations are objectively based upon air quality monitoring data and other relevant information pertaining to the air quality of the area. Area designations of attainment/unclassifiable means that the area has sufficient data to determine that the area is meeting the PM-2.5 NAAQS, or that due to no data being available for the area, or insufficient data being available, EPA cannot make a determination for the area. States and tribes were requested to make their recommendations to EPA on the attainment status of their respective areas by February 2004. EPA will review the recommended designations and may make modifications as deemed necessary. If EPA determines that a modification to the recommendations is required, EPA will notify the State or tribe of their decision no later than 120 days prior to promulgating a final designation, which provides an opportunity for them make a case for why EPA's modification may be inappropriate. In cases where a State or tribe does not make a recommendation, the EPA will promulgate the designation that it deems appropriate. The final date for promulgating designations for PM-2.5 will be December 31, 2004.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Reinforced Plastic Composites Production</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Project is to develop a NESHAP for the source category which involves the manufacture of composite products involving thermoset resins and reenforcements. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to the Guideline on Air Quality Models (Appendix W to 40 CFR Part 51): Adoption of a Preferred Long Range Transport Model and Other Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would revise the Guideline on Air Quality Models, published as appendix W to 40 CFR part 51. The Guideline provides EPA-recommended models for use in predicting ambient concentrations of pollutants for programs ranging from Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) to State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for controlling air pollution sources. The Guideline fulfills a Clean Air Act mandate for EPA to specify models for air management purposes. This revision would enhance the Guideline by incorporating a new dispersion model called CALPUFF, a technique for assessing long-range transport of pollutants and their impacts on designated Federal clean-air regions called Class I Areas. It would also make various editorial changes to update and reorganize information to make the Guideline more user-friendly. (It should be noted that this final rule promulgates only a part of the proposal which was published on April 21, 2000, 65 FR 21505. The other principal revision in that April 2000 proposal -- the addition of a new, general-purpose dispersion model -- is being reproposed to reflect changes made in response to public comment; see SAN 3470.1 elsewhere in today's Regulatory Agenda.)]]></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: 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[There are currently 20 active domestic coke plants, 15 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>NESHAP: Hydrochloric Acid Production Industry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title III of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 requires the 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 hydrochloric acid plants may be major sources for one or more HAPs. As a consequence, a regulation (emission standards) has been developed for the hydrochloric acid production industry (including fume silica production facilities).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 6, 1998 (63 FR 6287), we proposed NESHAP for oil and gas production (major sources), oil and gas production (area sources) , and natural gas transmission and storage in one package.  On June 17, 1999 (64 FR 32609), we promulgated the parts of that proposal dealing with oil and gas production (major sources) and natural gas transmission and storage.  The area-source portions of that proposal will be addressed later in a separate rulemaking.]]></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 requires 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: 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 promulgated 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.  EPA identified two subcategories under the flexible polyurethane foam fabrication operations source category.  These subcategories are loop slitter HAP-based adhesive use and flame lamination.  Loop slitters are equipment at foam fabrication operations that are used to slice large foam blocks into thin sheets.  Flame lamination refers to the bonding of foam to other substrates (i.e., cloth, foam, plastic, and other materials), where the bonding agent is scorched or melted foam.  This final rule will reduce HAP emissions by 6.5 tpy from each new or reconstructed affected source performing flame lamination.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Overview of 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 States' 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 multi-year 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.  This rule was challenged in court, and on March 3, 2000, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia 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 Court made a related decision concerning the NOx SIP Call Technical Amendment rulemakings which upheld Phase I of the NOx SIP Call.  A notice of data availability was published on 8/3/01 which made new data publicly available for notice-and-comment. A second notice of data availability was published in on March 11, 2002 listing additional items which were made publicly available.  Final action was published on 5/1/02 (67 FR 21868).   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 States that may significantly contribute to ozone nonattainment problems in the petitioning State. After analysis, EPA found the petitions from eight States to be meritorious in whole or in part (5/25/99, 64 FR 28250). Subsequently, EPA issued a final rule on the petitions, specifying a NOx emissions trading program as the required Federal remedy (1/18/00, 65 FR 2764). EPA is coordinating all three approaches to regional ozone control -- i.e., SIP Call, FIPs, and section 126 actions -- to avoid duplication and maximize effectiveness.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Phaseout of Chlorobromomethane (Halon 1011) Production and Consumption</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to add chlorobromomethane (CBM) to the list of controlled substances subject to production and consumption controls in accordance with both the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol) and EPA's regualtions under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.  Today's action proposes to create a new group (Group VIII) of class I substances for CBM, and to designate the value of CBM's "ozone depleting potential" as 0.12.  In accordance with the Protocol, today's action proposes phasing out CBM production and consumption upon publication of the final rule with permitted exemptions.  Today's action also proposes to restrict trade in CBM with countries who are not parties to the Beijing Amendments to the Protocol.]]></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 (WRAP) 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>Modification of Federal On-Board Diagnostic Regulations for 2004 Model Year Vehicles Below 14,000 Pounds</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 identification 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking provides specific categories of activities that would qualify as "routine maintenance, repair, and replacement" under the Clean Air Act's New Source Review Program. The current New Source Review regulations do not define this term, and there has been considerable debate over the years over the scope of activities that should be included. The new definition will provide an additional level of certainty for regulated entities and regulatory agencies with respect to program applicability. While this rule will affect small businesses and State/local/tribal governments, this rule is intended to simplify the regulatory process and decrease the burden on these and other entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Alternative Compliance Periods under the Anti-Dumping Program</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 direct final rule will amend the existing anti-dumping regulations by setting forth procedures for allowing an alternative compliance period of not more than seven years for a small, start up refiner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Secondary Aluminum Industry Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA promulgated MACT to control emissions of HAP from the secondary aluminum production industry on March 23, 2000.  After publication, two groups representing four industry trade groups filed a petition for review of the rule.  EPA reached an initial settlement agreement with industry to develop a separate rule for aluminum die casters, aluminum foundries, and aluminum extruders and publish a proposed stay of the rule with respect to these sources.  Later the EPA reached a separate settlement agreement with groups representing aluminum die casters, aluminum foundries, and aluminum extruders that resulted in these groups remaining subject to the rule with certain technical changes to the rule itself.  A final rule to implement certain compliance date changes contained in the settlement agreements was published on September 24, 2002.  A final rule to implement changes to applicability and testing and compliancerequirements was published on December 30, 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline (Section 610 Review)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 16, 1994, (59 FR 7716), EPA promulgated a rule setting standards for reformulated and conventional gasoline (RFG) under authority of section 211 of the Clean Air Act.  These standards are codifed in the Code of Federal Regulations at 40 CFR part 80.  Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, EPA has reviewed this rule to determine if it should be continued without change, or should be amended or rescinded, to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities. EPA considered, and solicited comments on, the following factors: (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. The full results of EPA's review have been summarized in a report and placed in the rulemaking docket number OAR-2003-0030. (This electronic docket can be found at www.epa.gov/edocket.)  These results are briefly summarized here.

As a result of the review, EPA has concluded that there is continued need for this rule because the rule contributes significantly to reducing harmful smog-causing emissions. Unhealthy smog levels are a significant concern in this country, with over 53 million people living in counties with air quality that does not meet the 1-hour ozone standard. Since it began eight years ago, the RFG program has provided annual emission reductions in VOC and NOx of 105,000 tons during the ozone season, and at least 24,000 tons of toxic air pollutants, such as benzene, year-round. The benzene level at air monitors in 1995, in RFG areas, showed dramatic declines, with a median reduction of 38 percent from the previous year.  The emission reductions that can be attributed to the RFG program are equivalent to taking 16 million cars off the road.

EPA's review also addressed the other aforementioned issues cited above: complaints received, complexity, duplication and overlap, and other factors.  After considering these factors, EPA's view is that the rule as currently configured minimizes complexity, duplication and overlap to the extent possible given the parameters of the Clean Air Act mandate for the rule.  Two public comments were received, one supportive of the rule and one advocating that EPA limit the variety of state fuel programs  in order to reduce the distribution problems associated with a variety of different state fuel requirements.  The commenter also suggested that EPA address the sources of emissions transport so that areas are not forced into the federal RFG program because of transport of emissions.

Under the preemption provisions of the CAA,  EPA does not have authority to go beyond the preemption provisions and control what fuel programs states adopt.  EPA's role under the preemption provisions is limited to determining whether the state fuel program is otherwise preempted, and if so whether the reductions it would achieve are necessary to achieve a NAAQS.  Amendments or rescision of the RFG or CG rules would not change this or reduce the number of potential state fuel programs.  Therefore the comment does not present a basis for EPA to consider amending or rescinding the RFG or CG rules.  In addition, EPA recognizes that the control of emissions transport is important; however, this is addressed through controls adopted by EPA or the States under other provisions of title I and II of the Act, and changes to the RFG or CG rules are not an appropriate mechanism to address emissions transport.

In light of the considerations outlined above, EPA has decided to continue this rule in effect without change.  A fuller explanation of the results of this review is given in the aforementioned report which has been placed in the docket established for this review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inspection/Maintenance Program Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 5, 1992 (57 FR 52950), EPA promulgated a rulemaking laying out the requirements for the automobile inspection and maintenance (I/M) program under Section 182(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Clean Air Act.  These requirements are codifed at 40 CFR part 51, subpart S.  Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, EPA has reviewed this rule to determine if it should be continued without change, or should be amended or rescinded, to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities.  EPA considered, and solicited comments on, the following factors: (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.  The results of EPA's review have been summarized in a report and placed in the rulemaking docket (docket number OAR-2003-0031 at www.epa.gov/edocket).  These results are briefly summarized here.

As a result of the review, EPA has concluded that there is continued need for this rule to assure that the pollution-control features of cars and trucks continue to function properly while in use.  This need was the basis for the I/M provisions in the Clean Air Act that require EPA to maintain the program.   EPA's review also addressed the other issues cited above: complaints received, complexity, duplication, and overlap. Regarding complaints, no comments were received during the course of this review. Regarding complexity, the Agency has revised and streamlined I/M requirements several times since 1992, most recently in 2001, and continues to look for ways to provide states and other stakeholders greater flexibility with regard to how the I/M program is implemented.  The present RFA section 610 review did not identify any further actions appropriate at this time aimed at further reducing complexity beyond the many measures already taken as recently as 2001.  The review did not identify any duplication or overlap with other rules or programs.  After considering these factors, EPA's view is that the rule as currently configured minimizes complexity, duplication and overlap to the extent possible given the parameters of the Clean Air Act mandate for the rule.  In light of these considerations, EPA has decided not to revise the rule in response to the current section 610 review.  As a separate matter, however, EPA does plan to propose adjustments to some of the I/M rule's requirements early next year to meet the needs of states with areas newly designated nonattainment under EPA's 8-hour ozone standard.  A fuller explanation of the results of this review is given in the aforementioned report which has been placed in the docket established for this review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for Georgia-Pacific Corporation/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 in Big Island, Virginia. On March 26, 2001, the EPA promulgated a site-specific rule to help implement the project. Under the XL project, Georgia-Pacific will install and attempt to operate the first commercial scale black liquor gasification system in the United States. This system promises to provide superior air emissions reductions and energy efficiency 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 the new technology, there is some risk that the technology will take longer than planned to work properly or may not ever work properly. Under these scenarios, Georgia-Pacific requires relief from otherwise applicable air emission standards to allow time for the technology to achieve expected performance or, in the event of failure, time for Georgia-Pacific to build conventional recovery technology that will meet applicable standards. Without this relief, Georgia-Pacific would not be undertaking commercialization of this promising technology. The promulgated site-specific rule provided relief in the form of a limited extension (from March 2004 to March 2007 at the latest) of the compliance date for the applicable air emission standard (Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfate, and Stand-Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills). Since that promulgation, the company has begun construction of the gasification system. Unfortunately, the company has experienced construction delays for several reasons. The delays have affected the scheduled start-up date of the new system by approximately one year. This action would amend the site-specific rule and, in effect, would extend the date of compliance by one additional year (from March 2007 to March 2008).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Stay of Authority Under 40 CFR 50.9(b) Related to Applicability of 1-Hour Ozone Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would stay EPA's authority under the second sentence of 40 CFR section 50.9(b) to determine that an area has attained the 1-hour standard and that the 1-hour standard no longer applies. The Environmental Defense and Appalachian Mountain Club have agreed to dismiss their cases if EPA issues a final rule staying the revocation provision in 40 CFR 50.9(b) until such time as EPA considers in that rule whether that provision should be modified and committing to consider and address in the subsequent rulemaking any comments concerning (a) which, if any, implementation activities for a revised ozone standard would need to occur before EPA would determine that the 1-hour ozone standard no longer applied to an area, and (b) the effect of revising the ozone NAAQS on existing designations for the pollutant ozone.  The EPA finalized a rule to stay its authority (68 FR 38160, June 26, 2003) to determine that the 1-hr ozone NAAQS no longer applies in areas that meet that standard.  The final stay will ensure that the 1-hour NAAQS remains in place nationwide until EPA issues a new rule governing how and when the 1-hour NAAQS should be removed.  EPA is addressing this issue as part of a proposed rule for implementing the 8-hour ozone NAAQS and is taking public comment.  Also, this final rule addresses comments received in the proposed rule of December 27, 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Rubber Tire Manufacturing: Technical Correction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 9, 2002, EPA promulgated National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Rubber Tire Manufacturing industry. The rule included standards for four specific source subcategories (i.e., tire production, tire cord production, puncture sealant, and rubber processing). The Rubber Manufacturing Association (RMA) subsequently petitioned us concerning the definition of cements and solvents, and requested a small change to the definition of a term used in an equation for determining compliance with the tire production subcategory. The EPA had also identified these as necessary technical corrections.  The amendments to the rule change the definition of "cements and solvents" to conform to the language identified by both the RMA and us prior to the publication of the rule on July 9, 2002. The revised definition does not change the intent of the original standards, but it is clearer and consistent with the intended meaning of affected cements and solvents used in tire manufacturing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reclassification as Nonroad Engines for Diesel Engines Used in the State of California Agricultural Pump Application</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has been working closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the agricultural community, and other stakeholders to constructively address air quality issues associated with agricultural sources. One such issue involves emissions from diesel engines located in California that are used in the irrigation of crops. There is an interest in determining a method to facilitate the introduction of cleaner engines in this area and additionally resolve an issue associated with the application of title V to such engines. EPA has decided to amend the definition of "nonroad engines" in 40 CFR part 89 to define diesel engines used to irrigate croplands in California as "nonroad engines" under EPA regulations, which is currently not the case.  This notice will regulate all pump engines under title II nonroad rules if the farm chooses to replace its current engines with a new certified nonroad engine.  Pump engines which are not replaced with new certified nonroad engines will not be covered by title II nonroad rules.  There are environmental benefits to taking this action because generally the current engines are not required to meet any emissions requirements while nonroad engines are subject to existing standards and certification requirements.  The voluntary nature of this rule, is that the farm is not required to replace any of its pump engines; they volunteer to replace their pumps engines with new, certified nonroad engines. This voluntary action will be done as a limited amendment of section 89.2 (similar to a project XL approach).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>SAN 4774. Currently, diesel engines used in agricultural pump applications are not exempt from stationary source reporting requirements. However, a large and increasing number of these engines meet mobile source nonroad emission standards, a level of control equaling or exceeding any anticipated and stationary source control programs. Therefore, to avoid reporting and other requirements applicable to diesel engines treated as stationary sources and to encourage the use of engines certified to stringent mobile source requirements the Agency plans to amend the definition of nonroad engines to also include agricultural pump applications. This amendment is being restricted to applications in the State of California and at the option of the owner of the engine as a pilot emission reduction strategy financially supported by the State of California and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (they anticipate being able to help fund the change over the existing agricultural pump diesel engines to new engines certified to mobile source standards).</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA revised regulations governing the New Source Review (NSR) programs mandated by parts C and D of title I of the CAA. These revisions include changes in NSR applicability requirements for modifications to allow sources more flexibility to respond to rapidly changing markets and to plan for future investments in pollution control and prevention technologies. The changes reflect EPA's consideration of discussions and recommendations of the CAA Advisory Committee (CAAAC) Subcommittee on NSR, Permits, and Toxics, comments filed by the public, and meetings and discussions with interested stakeholders.  The changes are intended to provide greater regulatory certainty, administrative flexibility, and permit streamlining, while ensuring the current level of environmental protection and benefit derived from the program and, in certain respects, resulting in greater environmental protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Regional Haze Rule To Correct Mobile Source Provisions in the Optional Program for Nine Western States and Eligible Indian Tribes Within That Geographic Area.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is a noncontroversial correction to section 309 of the Regional Haze Regulations to reflect the current situation relative to mobile source emissions in the West.  It will result in a reduction in regulatory burden. The correction has been requested by the Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP), which is a comprised of particular western governors making up the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission (GCVTC). The approach to mobile sources currently included in section 309 is based on certain recommendations of the GCVTC that are now outdated because of federal standards adopted since the Commission made its recommendations.  The WRAP's suggested correction updates section 309 requirements to conform with current expected inventory trends.   It also eliminates certain comprehensive mobile source requirements which are now unnecessary, retaining only a requirement only to consider reductions for SO2 from nonroad mobile sources in the absence of federal regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) Pollutants Strategy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As described in the Agency's 1998 PBT Strategy, EPA is developing and implementing National Action Plans for certain 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 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 initially focusing action on 12 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 tools to prevent and reduce releases of these substances. These tools include international, voluntary, outreach, programmatic, remedial, compliance monitoring and assistance, enforcement, research, and regulatory 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.  Although these plans are not regulatory actions, EPA has included them in the Regulatory Agenda to inform the public and regulated community because the action plans may discuss regulatory alternatives for consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; Priority Setting Criteria</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA published a proposed policy statement in the Federal Register setting forth the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program on December 28, 1998.  In that FR Notice, the Agency described the major elements of the Program EPA had developed to comply with the requirements of FFDCA section 408(p) as amended by FQPA.  One of those elements is priority setting which was defined as the collection, evaluation, and analysis of relevant information to determine the general order in which chemical substances and mixtures will be subjected to screening and testing.  Under this current action, EPA is developing a priority setting approach to be used by the Agency to identify the initial list of chemicals for which tier 1 testing will be required.  On December 30, 2002, EPA published in the Federal Register for public comment a proposed chemical selection approach for this initial list of chemicals. The public comment period on this proposed approach was extended to April 1, 2003 in a Federal Register notice dated February 26, 2003.  Following consideration of comments on this proposed approach, EPA will issue a Federal Register notice setting forth its final approach.  Although this action is not a rulemaking, the Agency has included it in the Regulatory Agenda to help inform the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <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 require testing of 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>

            <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 United States, Europe, Japan, Canada, and Australia which have been linked to specific chemical exposures. Evidence is sufficient for the United States 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>Lead; Requirements for Lead-Based Paint Activities in Target Housing and Child-Occupied Facilities (Section 610 Review)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In August, 1996, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated regulations under section 402 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to ensure that individuals conducting lead-based paint activities in target housing and child-occupied facilities are properly trained and certified, that training programs providing instruction in such activities are accredited and that these activities are conducted according to reliable, effective and safe work practice standards.  EPA also finalized a Federal regulation under section 404 of TSCA that allows States and Indian Tribes to seek authorization to administer and enforce the regulations developed under section 402 for the training and certification of individuals conducting LBP activities and the accreditation of  training programs for LBP activities in 1996 (August 29, 1996, 61 FR 45778).  EPA performed an analysis of the potential impacts on small entities and determined that this action is likely to have a modest adverse economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.  The TSCA section 404 regulations became effective August 29, 1998.  The final rule then provided for an additional phase-in period for the requirements for training program accreditation, individual and firm certification, and work practice standards.  Regulations for accreditation of training programs became effective on March 1, 1999.  Regulations for certification of individuals and firms became fully effective on March 1, 2000.  EPA is reviewing the 1996 regulation pursuant to section 610 of  the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 USC 610).  The purpose of this review is to determine whether the rule should be continued without change, or should be amended or rescinded, to minimize economic impacts on small entities while still complying with the provisions of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).  EPA has already solicited comment on the continued need for the rule; the complexity of the rule; the extent to which it overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and the degree to which technology, economic conditions or other relevant factors have changed since the rule was promulgated.  We expect to announce the completion of that review and report its outcome in 2004.  See EPA Docket ID number OPPT-2003-0015 at www.epa.gov/edocket.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticide Worker Protection Rule (Section 610 Review)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 21, 1992, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued final revisions to the Worker Protection Standards governing the protection of workers from agricultural pesticides. These revised regulations expand the scope of the standards to include not only workers performing hand labor operations in fields treated with pesticides, but employees in forests, nurseries, and greenhouses and employees who handle (mix, load, apply, etc.) pesticides for use in these locations. The revised regulations became effective January 1, 1995, and are applicable to agricultural farm workers and pesticide handlers working on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses.  In 1995 and 1996, the standard was amended to address specific concerns of the regulation community.  EPA is reviewing this regulation pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 USC 610).  The purpose of this review is to determine whether the rule should be continued without change, or should be amended or rescinded, to minimize economic impacts on small entities while still complying with the provisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).  EPA has already solicited comment on the continued need for the rule; the complexity of the rule; the extent to which it overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and the degree to which technology, economic conditions or other relevant factors have changed since the rule was promulgated.

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Certain Chemicals on the ATSDR Priority List of Hazardous 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 eight 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.  In addition, this action would require manufacturers and processors to develop data for these chemicals that will be used by EPA under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to evaluate residual risks from hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) on the list of HAPs in the CAA under section 112(f), 42 USC 7412(f) and sections 112(d and e).  Data from this action would also be used to support implementation of several provisions of section 112 of the CAA including, determining risks remaining after the application of technology based standards under section 112(d) of the CAA, estimating the risks associated with accidental releases, and determining whether or not substances should be removed (delisted) from section (b)(1) of the CAA list of HAPS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Data Requirements for Conventional Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will propose revisions to its data requirements for the registration of conventional pesticide products.  In this action, the Agency is proposing revisions to the data requirements that pertain to product chemistry, toxicology, residue chemistry, applicator exposure, post-application exposure, nontarget terrestrial and aquatic organisms, nontarget plant protection, and environmental fate.  The proposed data requirements reflect current scientific knowledge and understanding.  These revisions will improve the Agency's ability to make regulatory decisions about the human health and environmental effects of pesticide products to better protect wildlife, the environment, and people, including sensitive subpopulations.  Couple with revision data requirements, EPA proposes to reformat the requirements and revise its general procedures and policies associated with data submission.  By codifying existing data requirements which are currently applied on a case-by-case basis, the pesticide industry, along with other partners in the regulated community, would attain a better understanding and could better prepare for the pesticide registration process.  EPA intends to propose a series of revisions t o the data requirements, covering different data disciplines and product types.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead-Based Paint Activities; Training and Certification for Renovation and Remodeling</RULE_TITLE>
        <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(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 typed 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 to 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 be 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>Pesticides; Emergency Exemption Process Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register proposing several improvements to the pesticide emergency exemption process under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).  Two of these potential improvements are currently being tested through a limited pilot, and are based on recommendations from the States which are the primary applicants for emergency exemptions.  EPA has established regulations under section 18 of FIFRA which allow a Federal or State agency to apply for an emergency exemption to allow an unregistered use of a pesticide for a limited time when such use is necessary to alleviate an emergency condition.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In 1996, stakeholders, including States and Federal agencies, identified a number of issues related to improving the 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, and expedite decisions on applications (which is critical in emergency situations).]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FIFRA section 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, including specific recommendations from a group representing States' interests. Since the modifications would generally constitute regulatory relief, and are not expected to cause any economic impact, options with varying cost do not apply.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[These procedural improvements are not expected to increase existing costs related to this program.  In fact, this action is likely to provide reduced burden and cost to states and federal agencies that apply for emergency exemptions and reduced burden to EPA.  Indirect benefits may accrue to users of pesticides under emergency exemptions if changes result in faster review and approval, or greater availability of pesticides.  Although not required, EPA expects to assess the potential economic impacts of this action.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[In general, the measures being considered are primarily intended to  reduce burdens for States and EPA and achieve efficiencies in the program.  No impact on risk is anticipated.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is reproposing a test rule under section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) that would require manufacturers, defined by statute to include importers, and processors of seven substances to conduct testing for developmental and/or reproductive toxicity.  EPA is also proposing reporting rules for two of the seven substances. These rules would require the reporting of production volumes so it will be possible to determine when the testing program can be triggered for the two substances without causing a significant impact on revenues.  This is a reproposal of a test rule announced March 4, 1991 (56 FR 9092).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Acceptability of Research Using Human Subjects</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is evaluating its current policy with respect to the protection of human research subjects in testing not conducted or supported by the Federal government. Current EPA regulations in 40 CFR part 26 apply to research conducted or supported by the Agency or "otherwise subject to regulation."  No action has been taken yet to give effect to the "otherwise subject to regulation" phrase.  In addition, EPA has asked the advice of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) on several issues surrounding the acceptability and interpretation of third party studies involving deliberate dosing of human subjects for the purpose of defining or quantifying toxic endpoints.  EPA will seek public comment on issues related to Agency use of human research data in its regulatory 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 in its regulatory decisions 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 completed its report in September 2000.  In December 2001 the Agency sought the advice of the National Academy of Sciences on several difficult issues.  A report from the NAS is expected in December 2003.  In December 2001 the Agency clarified its interim policy, committing, subject to certain exceptions, not to consider or rely on any third party studies involving intentional dosing of human subjects with toxicants for the purpose of defining or quantifying their effects until a final policy is in place, and clarifying that this interim policy applies across all Agency programs.  In June 2003, in response to a challenge of the interim policy, the U.S. Court of Appeals vacated the interim policy and stated that as a consequence of the Agency's "previous practice of considering third party human studies on a case-by-case basis, applying statutory requirements, the Common Rule, and high ethical standards as a guide," was reinstated "until it is replaced by a lawfully promulgated regulation."    If ultimately deemed acceptable for consideration, some human research could significantly affect the Agency's risk assessments of some pesticides and other toxicants.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Several statutes contain provisions that involve Agency regulatory decisions that are or may be based on testing not conducted or supported by the Agency.  For example, FIFRA section 3 directs EPA to define data requirements supporting pesticide decisions and to establish guidelines for conducting research to support pesticide decisions; and FFDCA section 408 directs EPA to, among other things, consider available and reliable data in support of pesticide tolerance decisions.  FIFRA sec. 4(g)(1) directs the Administrator to "conduct a thorough examination" of "all data submitted under this section (section 4)" and of "all other available data found by the Administrator to be relevant."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action will eliminate exemptions under the Polymer Exemption Rule for certain polymers containing perfluoralkyl sulfonate (PFAS), perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFAC), perfluoroalky-containing telomers, and other polymers containing perfluoroalkkyl groups.  Based on data on perfluorooctyl sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctonic acid (PFOA), and other chemical substances containing perfluoroalkyl groups, EPA believes that these substances may persist in the environment, bioaccumulate, and be toxic. Certain polymers which contain PFAS, PFAC, perfluoroalkyl-containing telomers, or other substances with perfluoroalkyl groups, would no longer qualify for exemption from TSCA section 5 reporting.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The screening and testing phase of the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) potentially will encompass a broad range of types of chemicals, including pesticide chemicals, TSCA chemicals, chemicals that may be found in sources of drinking water, chemicals that may have an effect that is cumulative to the effect of a pesticide chemical, chemicals that are both pesticide chemicals and TSCA chemicals, and other chemicals that are combinations of these types of chemicals.  As discussed in the Proposed Statement of Policy, EPA has a number of authorities at its disposal to require testing of these types of chemicals.  The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (FFDCA) section 408(p) provides EPA authority to require testing of all pesticide chemicals and any other substance that may have an effect that is cumulative to an effect of a pesticide chemical if EPA determines that a substantial population may be exposed to the substance. 21 U.S.C. section 346(a)(p).  Likewise, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) provides EPA with authority to require testing of any substance that may be found in sources of drinking water if EPA determines that a substantial population may be exposed to the substance.  42 U.S.C. section 300j-17.  The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) provides EPA with authority to require testing of pesticides if EPA determines that additional data are required to maintain in effect an existing registration.  7 U.S.C. section 136a(c)(2)(B). The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) provides authority for EPA to require testing of TSCA chemicals, provided that it makes certain hazard and/or exposure findings.  15 U.S.C. section 2603.  In addition, EPA has authority to issue consent orders to require testing when interested parties agree on an acceptable testing program.  51 FR 23706 (June 30, 1986).]]></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 mathematically. 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 United States, Europe, Japan, Canada, and Australia which have been linked to specific chemical exposures. Evidence is sufficient for the United States 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this follow-on action to the Inventory Update Rule Amendments (IURA) (RIN 2070-AC61) that was finalized in January 2003, EPA is making additional changes to the IUR to adjust the submission period, the reporting frequency, and the recordkeeping period, and to clarify language associated with petitioning to be partially exempt from reporting requirements and with reporting information on imported materials.  Additionally, certain technical corrections, such as removing obsolete regulatory text associated with IUR reporting that occurred in 2002 and correcting certain paragraph references will be included.  EPA anticipates adverse comments on moving the submission period and therefore is first proposing these changes.]]></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 to 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>

        <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>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>

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 the standards for claims of confidentiality for information contained in a notice of substantial risk under section 8(e).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will require testing and recordkeeping requirements for certain high production volume (HPV) chemicals (i.e., chemicals which are manufactured (including imported) in the aggregate at more than 1 million pounds on an annual basis). Although varied based on specific data needs for the particular chemical, the data generally collected under this rule may include: acute toxicity, repeat dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity; mutagenicity ecotoxicity, and environmental fate. The first rule proposed testing for 37 HPV chemicals with substantial worker exposure. The action is part of the Chemical Right-to-Know Initiative, which is described under RIN 2070-AD25.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 745.225) 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.  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 final rule is produced in an amount equal to or greater than one million pounds per year.  In addition, each of the chemicals in this final rule was identified in the National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES) as having a total potential worker exposure of greater than 1,000 workers.  EPA has also determined that there are insufficient data or experience upon which the effects of the manufacture, processing and use of these chemicals on health can reasonably be determined or predicted and that testing of such substances with respect to such effects is necessary.  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>

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>Lead Fishing Sinkers; Response to Citizens Petition and Proposed Ban</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 20, 1992, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Federation of Fly Fishers, Trumpeter Swan Society, and North American Loon Fund petitioned EPA under section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), to initiate rulemaking proceedings under section 6 of TSCA to require that the sale of lead fishing sinkers be accompanied by an appropriate label or notice warning that such products are toxic to wildlife. EPA granted the petition, however, the Agency believes that a labeling provision would not adequately address the risk of injury to waterfowl and other birds (waterbirds), from ingestion of lead fishing sinkers. In addition, EPA also believes that zinc fishing sinkers adversely affect waterbirds, and can cause mortality. Therefore, EPA has proposed a rule under section 6(a) of TSCA to prohibit the manufacturing, processing, and distribution in commerce in the United States, of certain smaller size fishing sinkers containing lead and zinc, and mixed with other substances, including those made of brass.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Voluntary Children&apos;s Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is a voluntary program to evaluate commercial chemicals to which children may have a high likelihood of exposure. Designed with extensive stakeholder participation, the purpose of this 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. A workshop was held in December 2001 to provide sponsors with additional guidance on the scope and content of the exposure assessments they will prepare. A peer consultation process is being used to evaluate the scientific merits of the hazard, exposure, and risk assessments submitted by sponsors. Assessments for four chemicals have been evaluated in the peer consultation process.  Although not currently involving a rulemaking, EPA has included this pilot program in the Regulatory Agenda to inform the public about activities like this related to its chemical testing program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Groundwater and Pesticide Management Plan Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation as proposed would establish Pesticide Management Plans (PMPs) as a new regulatory requirement for certain pesticides. Unless a State or tribal authority had 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.  Several parameters of the program described in the proposed rule are being reconsidered to determine whether the program can address water quality issues rather than ground-water only, and to determine the best partnership approach to implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead-Based Paint Activities; Training, Accreditation, and Certification Rule and Model State Plan Rule -- Bridges and Structures</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Certain Metals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is coordinating an evaluation of the data needs for assessing  potential adverse affects that exposures to metals pose for health and the environment with the Agencies efforts to develop a framework for assessing potential risks from exposures to metals.  This activity is intended to lead to EPA  proposing a test rule under section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).  A test rule would require manufacturers and processors of certain metals (beryllium, chromium, manganese, mercury, nickel, and selenium) 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), the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112 and other statutes requiring risk assessments, health assessments, permits, standards, guidelines, listing/delisting, and other decisions affecting public health and the environment.  Under CERCLA the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (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 communities.  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[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.  For status information about the individual chemicals, go to http://www.epa.gov/pesticides.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Chemical Right-to-Know Initiative; High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The voluntary 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). Although this Initiative is not a rulemaking, EPA has included it in the Regulatory Agenda to inform the public.  The Initiative will involve several separate activities, with any regulatory related actions included as separate entries in the Regulatory Agenda.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), in the administration of section 211 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), has requested that OPPT use its TSCA section 4 testing authority to obtain health effects data on a number of Oxygenated Fuel Additives (OFAs). These data are needed by EPA and others to increase understanding of the toxicity of these substances individually and in comparison to each other as well as to other OFAs such as methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE). EPA will be soliciting interested parties to work on an Enforceable Consent Agreement (ECA) under TSCA section 4, through which responsible parties can agree to provide data to EPA. Although not currently a rulemaking, EPA is including this in the Regulatory Agenda to inform the public of this activity which will have a regulatory impact once an ECA is finalized.]]></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 "pesticide chemical residues" under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Therefore, EPA is concurrently considering the exemption of plant-incorporated protectants based on viral coat proteins 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 2001 Supplemental Proposal (66 FR 37855).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 to be subject to TSCA jurisdiction. For example, plants are being genetically modified to produce industrial grade, rather than food grade, oils. Many of these plants 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 non-regulated 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>

        <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 "pesticide chemical residues" under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments will clarify to which target housing transactions the rule applies; add or clarify definitions of important terms; clarify the disclosure responsibilities of agents; clarify what information must be disclosed; clarify recordkeeping requirements to support enforcement; and will amend existing regulatory text to resolve some inconsistent interpretations and to incorporate interpretations that have been issued through guidance. The amendments will be developed jointly with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which jointly administers and enforces the current requirements with EPA. Small businesses and state/local/tribal governments that sell or lease target housing will be affected in that they will need to become familiar with new/revised requirements that apply to these transactions. Overall burden is not expected to increase significantly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered Species and Pesticide Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2003 advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) focuses on regulations and policies affecting the process for consultation between EPA and the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service regarding EPA actions in its pesticide regulatory program under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).  It sought public comment on changes to current regulations, policies and practices of the EPA and Services to better integrate the FIFRA and Endangered Species Act processes and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of consultations on pesticide actions to ensure that species that are Federally listed or proposed as threatened or endangered and their proposed or designated critical habitat are appropriately protected.  Because the Services will have the lead for issuing the rulemaking, EPA is withdrawing this separate entry in the Regulatory Agenda.]]></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 decisionmakers 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>RCRA Incentives for Performance Track Members</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Performance Track program provides recognition and incentives for facilities that demonstrate to the Agency that they are top environmental performers. Performance Track is a voluntary, facility based program that reviews applicants twice a year for conformance to four core criteria. These criteria are: a commitment to continuous improvement, a well-functioning Environmental Management system in place for at least one year, a solid record of compliance, and a commitment to community outreach and annual public reporting. Currently there are about 320 members in Performance Track. In this action, EPA plans to propose permit modifications, performance based standards for tanks and generator standards, and reduced duplication between RCRA and CAA standards. These incentives will be available only to facilities that are members of the Performance Track program. Should a facility choose to leave the program, any regulatory benefits they receive will no longer be available. Performance Track facilities commit to environmental improvements that reach beyond regulatory compliance, and as such benefits are quantifiable via each member facilities' annual report, and in aggregate through EPA's progress reports on the program. In EPA's first Performance Track progress report, member facilities collectively reduced: energy use by 1.1 million mmBtus, water use by 475 million gallons, hazardous materials use by 908 tons, emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by 329 tons, emissions of air toxics by 57 tons, emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 152 tons, discharges to water of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS) by 1,227 tons, toxic discharges to water 5,543 tons, solid waste by 150,000 tons, and hazardous waste by 692 tons.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Environmental Protection Agency has entered into a final project agreement with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) White Sands Test Facility in Las Cruces, New Mexico, that would modify the reporting requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The rule will allow the facility to submit regulatory reports and permit information electronically rather than on paper to the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Solid Waste Bureau, Hazardous Waste Bureau, Groundwater Bureau, and Air Quality Bureau. Doing so will significantly reduce its regulatory reporting costs and enhance the State's ability to analyze and manage the facility's regulatory and permit information. The electronic reporting involves six phases that will transition NASA from submitting data on a CD-ROM to utilizing the internet to transmit data to NMED. This rule covers Phases III to VI of the project, the previous NASA White Sands Test Facility final rule covered Phases I and II.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Incentives for the National Environmental Performance Track Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Environmental Performance 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 Performance Track by submitting an application that documents that four specific criteria are met: an operating environmental management system; commitment to continuous environmental improvement through documented past improvements and future commitments; engaging the public; and a strong record of compliance. 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; and extending on-site storage of RCRA waste to 180 days.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL -- Ortho-McNeil Pilot Project Allowing On-Site Treatment of Low-Level Mixed Wastes Without RCRA Permit</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This site-specific rulemaking would allow Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical (OMP) to treat small volumes of low-level mixed wastes on-site using a bench-scale catalytic oxidizing treatment unit as an alternative to long-term storage and off-site transportation and land disposal at a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-licensed, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act permitted Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility. This treatment effectively destroys the organic component of the wastestream, yielding a residual that is only a low-level radioactive waste and can be disposed at an NRC-licensed low-level radioactive waste disposal facility.  OMP is also working with various companies to develop and test recovery technologies that could be used in lieu of disposal.]]></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 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, environmental, and economic impacts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has entered into an XL (eXcellence and Leadership) Final Project Agreement (FPA) with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) in Las Cruces, NM to implement a project that would modify reporting requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Clean Water Act (CWA)  and the Clean Air Act (CAA).  The purpose of this NASA WSTF Electronic Reporting site-specific rule is to enable the NASA WSTF to electronically submit compliance reports and permit information to the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) in lieu of submitting paper reports. The rule will set forth guidelines to ensure that the information submitted by NASA WSTF to NMED is accurate by outlining procedures for data authentication, use of electronic signature and encryption processes.  This rule will address Phases I and II of the project covering reporting requirements under RCRA and the SDWA.  A second and subsequent rule will address phases III-VI of the project covering additional reporting requirements under the CWA and CAA.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Site-Specific Regulation for Packaging Corporation of America in Tomahawk, Wisconsin</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This site specific regulation will allow Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) to operate its semi-chemical pulp and paper mill with an alternative control technology for its hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). This alternative treatment has been approved by the EPA and its use will be conducted as a pilot project under the May 5, 1998, Joint State/EPA Agreement to Pursue Regulatory Innovation.  An applicable federal air rule requires semi-chemical pulp and paper mills to collect and incinerate their vent gases. As an alternative treatment, PCA will collect and hard-pipe vent gas condensates to their on-site wastewater treatment plant. The vent gas condensates contain a large proportion of the vent gas HAPs, and the HAPs are effectively treated in the wastewater treatment plant.  PCA has agreed to accept as an enforceable limit a methanol destruction rate of approximately two times the amount of methanol that would be destroyed with the technology prescribed in the federal air rule. Methanol is an appropriate surrogate for the total HAPs in the vent gases. Data from a full scale treatability study conducted by PCA in June 2001 indicate that the alternative treatment technology may be capable of achieving approximately five times greater methanol treatment than prescribed in the air rule, although PCA will not have to commit to achieving this greater destruction rate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>EPA Agencywide Public Involvement Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency released its Public Involvement Policy in June 2003.  The new policy replaced EPA's 1981 Public Participation Policy and reflects changes that occurred over the intervening 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 provides guidance and direction to EPA officials on reasonable and effective means to involve the public in its regulatory and program decisions.  The purposes of this policy are to: improve the acceptability, efficiency, feasibility, and durability of the Agency's decisions; reaffirm EPA's  commitment to early and meaningful public involvement; ensure that EPA makes its decisions considering the interests and concerns of affected people and entities; promote  the use of a wide variety of techniques to create early and, when appropriate, continuing opportunities for public involvement in Agency decisions, and establish clear and effective guidance for conducting public involvement activities.  The policy has as its core seven basic steps for effective public involvement in any decision or activity: (1) Plan and budget for public involvement activities; (2) identify the interested and affected public; (3) consider providing technical or financial assistance to the public to facilitate involvement; (4) provide information and outreach to the public; (5) conduct public consultation and involvement activities; (6) review and use input and provide feedback to the public; and (7) evaluate public involvement activities. The recommended goals, actions and methods for each step are described in appendix 1 of the policy, Guidance for Implementing Public Involvement at EPA, at http://www.epa.gov/publicinvolvement/policy2003/guidance.pdf.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>Amendment to Project XL Rulemaking and Final Project Agreement (FPA) for New England Universities Laboratories</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Project XL program, the EPA is supporting a project for the New England Universities Laboratories in Massachusetts and Vermont. On September 28, 1999, the EPA promulgated a site-specific rule to help implement the project. This action would amend the site-specific rule by extending the date of compliance.  The rule would provide regulatory flexibility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended.  It would allow the participating laboratories at the universities to replace existing hazardous waste determination and satellite accumulation requirements for hazardous waste generators with a comprehensive laboratory environmental management plan designed for each university.  This proposal pertains only to the participating laboratories at the universities; all other areas of each university would continue to be subject to existing standards and regulations.

Part 1: Integrated, Performance-Based Environmental Management System: The principal objective of this laboratory XL project is to pilot a flexible, performance-based system for managing laboratory waste.  The management of hazardous chemicals in university laboratories is primarily regulated by two Federal statutes: The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). To achieve this objective, the universities have developed a three-part regulatory model which includes: (1) a laboratory environmental management standard which defines the  elements for the effective management of laboratory wastes, (2) Minimum Performance Criteria for the management of laboratory wastes and (3) the development of a Laboratory Environmental Management Plan which is a documented description of how each University will conform to the Laboratory Environmental Management Standard and the Minimum Performance Criteria.  

Part 2:  Clarification of Treatment in Tanks and Containers Rule:  A second objective of this project is to clarify, by the use of specific treatment  protocols, certain activities which constitute exempt treatment of hazardous waste in tanks and containers under current RCRA regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The USAID Acquisition Regulation will be amended to clarify USAID policy on the use of Government facilities and personnel in commercial products, establish an agency policy regarding contract clauses to clarify withholding requirements under IQC contracts, revise reporting requirements, and coordinate the agency's academic publication policy with the FAR's Rights in Data coverage by removing it from appendix I into a new part 727. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subtitle A of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act), captioned Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information (15 U.S.C. 6801 et seq.), requires each financial institution to provide a notice of its privacy policies and practices to its consumer customers.  In general, the privacy notices must describe a financial institution's policies and practices with respect to disclosing nonpublic personal information about a consumer to both affiliated and nonaffiliated third parties, and provide a consumer a reasonable opportunity to direct the institution not to share nonpublic personal information about the consumer with nonaffiliated third parties.  The GLB Act agencies, including the CFTC, have published substantially identical regulations to implement GLB title V, known collectively as the "privacy rule."  Many notices issued under the privacy rule were long and complex, and difficult to compare with each other.  Consequently, GLB Act agencies are considering whether to amend the privacy rule to provide for simpler, more useful notices.  The GLB Act agencies intend to issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to determine whether to propose changes to the privacy rule, and if so, will seek further public comment on specific programs.  The agencies expect that consumer testing would be a key component in the development of any specific proposals.]]></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 carry only: (1) customer omnibus accounts for U.S. FCMs; (2) U.S. affiliate accounts that are proprietary to the foreign futures and options broker; or (3) 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[Pursuant to the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA) of 1996, the Department of the Treasury has promulgated regulations authorizing and governing the administrative garnishment of wages of persons, not employed by the Federal government, who owe claims to the United States.  Under the DCIA and Treasury regulations, Federal agencies can promulgate rules allowing for the garnishment of such claims arising from actions within their jurisdiction.  As a general matter, the individual agencies' rules must adopt, or otherwise conform to, the Treasury rules.  To expedite the collection of claims arising from activity within its jurisdiction, the Commission is amending its part 143 rules, governing debt collections, to provide for administrative wage garnishment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is proposing to amend regulations that specify required capital charges, or exclusions from net capital, to be deducted by futures commission merchants (FCMs) and introducing brokers (IBs) when computing their adjusted net capital.  For forward contracts that are not covered by an open futures contract or commodity option, and are in specified foreign currencies (British pounds, Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, Swiss francs or the Euro), the proposed amendment would apply a capital charge of 6 percent of the market value of the FCM's or IB's uncovered forward contracts in these currencies.  Uncovered forwards in any other non-U.S. currency would remain subject to the 20 percent capital charge currently set forth in the Commission's regulations.]]></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.  The CPSC staff conducted research and developed a draft flammability performance standard.  The draft standard was first presented to stakeholders at a 1996 ASTM voluntary standards meeting.  The staff also worked with industry and voluntary standards groups to develop possible alternatives to a federal rule.  In 1997, the staff forwarded a briefing package containing the draft standard and supporting data to the Commission.

In 1998, the Commission held a public hearing to gather additional information beyond that available to the agency on the potential toxicity, health risks, and environmental effects associated with flame-retardant chemicals that might be used to meet a standard. 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 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.  

A CPSC staff risk assessment concluded that a number of flame-retardant chemicals are available that would not present health risks to consumers, although additional data are needed for some other chemicals.  The CPSC staff has also worked with the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health and the Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate possible impacts of flame-retardant chemical use on worker safety and the environment.

In 2001, the CPSC staff forwarded a briefing package containing an updated draft standard and supporting data to the Commission.  In 2002, the Commission staff held a public meeting to receive any new technical information and recommendations from interested parties on the upholstered furniture project.  In 2003, the staff forwarded a package to the Commission analyzing the information received at the meeting, and a package recommending that the Commission expand its proceeding to cover both small open flame and cigarette ignition risks. On October 17, 2003, the Commission voted to issue a new ANPRM to start a proceeding to cover both small open flame and cigarette ignition risks.]]></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 require 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. Before completing the briefing package, the staff asked Federal experts to review the staff's assessment of the health effects related to latex. The staff incorporated comments from this review and has completed a briefing package for consideration by the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM), published in the Federal Register on August 1, 2001, requested comments on a rulemaking proceeding that could result in a mandatory rule addressing baby bath seats.  These are consumer products used to hold an infant in a bathtub while the child is being bathed.  The Commission voted to publish the ANPRM and proceed with rulemaking after considering the staff's analysis of available data and information provided by the petitioners, the Consumer Federation of America and other consumer groups who requested that the Commission ban baby bath seats and bath rings.  The staff briefed the Commission on July 28, 2003, and the Commission received oral comments from the public on the same date.  The staff evaluated the comments received at the hearing and sent a briefing package to the Commission. On October 16, 2003, the Commission decided to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking and directed the staff to prepare it for the Commission's consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 could 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 ASTM International was revised to include performance requirements for crib slats. The Commission will consider written comments received in response to the ANPRM, and assess the adequacy of and conformance with the voluntary standard before deciding whether to continue the proceeding by publication of a notice of proposed rulemaking, or terminate further proceedings.]]></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 prepared 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 decided to begin a proceeding for amendment of the standard.  An advance notice of proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on September 12, 2002.  The staff is reviewing public comments and will develop proposed amendments for Commission consideration.]]></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 allows children to become entrapped between the portable bed rail and the bed. This entrapment can result in serious injury or death.  The ASTM standard for bed rails has been revised and staff will evaluate the adequacy of, and conformance to, the revised standard.  Following this evaluation, the Commission staff will prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration as to whether to continue the rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Standard To Address Open-Flame Ignition of Mattresses/Bedding</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1995, the Commission staff began a project on mattress fires.  Subsequent to that, the Commission docketed two petitions from the Children's Coalition for Fire-Safe Mattresses, FP 00-1 and FP 00-2, requesting certain standards to address the open flame ignition hazard with mattresses/bedding. On October 2, 2001, the Commission voted to grant these two petitions and issue an ANPRM addressing this mattress flammability hazard.  The Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) in the Federal Register of October 11, 2001, that requested comments on a rulemaking proceeding that could result in a mandatory flammability standard addressing open flame ignition of mattresses/bedding.  The staff will address public comments on the ANPRM and prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration with a draft proposed rule for mattresses.  The staff is also preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration as to whether to issue an ANPRM to address the flammability of bedding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Method for Determining Applicability of Cautionary Labeling and Child-Resistant Packaging to Hydrocarbon-Containing Products in Spray Packaging</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 3, 2000, CPSC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) to require child-resistant packaging of prepackaged products that contain liquid hydrocarbons of low viscosity, including aerosol/trigger/pump packaged products (spray products) that expel product in a stream. The final rule issued on October 25, 2001, covered liquid hydrocarbon-containing products other than these spray products.

Under current CPSC guidance, special cautionary labeling under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) would also be required for most hydrocarbon-containing spray products that expel product as a stream. The staff has now developed a quantitative test method to identify those hydrocarbon-containing spray products that pose an aspiration hazard. The staff is preparing a briefing package for the Commission's consideration that may recommend using this test method to determine applicability of the FHSA special cautionary labeling and PPPA child-resistant packaging requirements to spray products that expel product in a stream.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A petition from the Consumer Federation of America and several other groups requests that the Commission ban adult-sized four-wheel, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) that are sold for the use of children under age 16. The petitioners assert that these ATVs pose an unreasonable risk of injury and death to children. In January 2003, the Commission released a risk analysis of ATV use. The Commission held a public hearing on June 5, 2003, in Morgantown, West Virginia.  The staff is reviewing available information and preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Possible Special Packaging Standard for Household Products Containing Hydroxides</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sodium and potassium hydroxide are caustic substances found in many household products. In addition to sodium and potassium hydroxide, other hydroxides, such as calcium, lithium, and ammonium hydroxide are also found in consumer products. There are numerous reports of injuries, ranging from minor irritation to second degree burns of the oral cavity, esophagus, eyes, and skin resulting from exposure to these products. Because of the potential for injury to children, household substances in dry forms containing 10 percent or more by weight of free or chemically unneutralized sodium and/or potassium hydroxide, and all other household substances containing 2 percent or more by weight of free or chemically unneutralized sodium and/or potassium hydroxide currently require child resistant packaging under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.

Based upon new injury and toxicity information, the staff is considering whether to recommend: (1) requiring special packaging for all hydroxides, and (2) decreasing the percentage of sodium and potassium hydroxide for special packaging to be required. The staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition HP 01-03 Requesting a Ban on Use of Chromated-Copper-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. 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, this request was not docketed.  On July 13, 2001, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register to solicit comments on the petition. The 60-day comment period ended on September 11, 2001.  Commission staff reviewed comments received on the petition and conducted studies to obtain exposure data to assess possible health risks to children from the use of CCA-treated wood in playground equipment. The Conference report accompanying the Commission's FY 2002 appropriation directed the CPSC to submit a report to Congress on its work on CCA treated wood and steps taken to inform State and local governments of that work. The report was submitted to the appropriations committees of both houses of Congress on February 15, 2002. Also, in February 2002, the USEPA announced that the manufacturers of CCA had requested that registrations of CCA be cancelled, effective December 31, 2003. The staff's exposure and risk assessment was reviewed by outside experts. Commission staff prepared an options briefing package, including its risk assessment, that was sent to the Commission on February 7, 2003, for its consideration. The Commission held a public meeting on March 17-18, 2003, that included a briefing by CPSC staff members on their studies and evaluations, as well as testimony from interested public parties. The Commission's staff analyzed comments received at the hearing and after the hearing and prepared another package for the Commission that responds to these comments. On November 4, 2003, the Commission voted to deny the petition.]]></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 made 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 final regulation was published as part of a joint rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CSOSA proposes to adopt regulations on the acceptance and use of gifts by itself and by the District of Columbia Pretrial Services Agency (PSA), an independent entity within CSOSA. CSOSA and PSA have been granted specific authority by Congress to accept and use gifts in the form of in-kind contributions of space and hospitality for the purpose of supporting offender and defendant programs and equipment and vocational training services to educate and train offenders and defendants. These regulations establish procedures for the public to follow when offering a gift, criteria for accepting and using gifts, and procedures for audit and public inspection of records pertaining to the acceptance and use of gifts.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 319 of Public Law 101-121, which added a new section 1352 to title 31 U.S.C. entitled "Limitation on Use of Appropriated Funds To Influence Certain Federal Contracting and Financial Transactions." Section 319 generally prohibits recipients of Federal contracts, grants, and loans from using appropriated funds for lobbying the executive or legislative branches of the Federal Government in connection with a specific contract, grant, or loan. Section 319 also requires that each person who requests or receives a Federal contract, grant, or cooperative agreement, in excess of $100,000, or a loan or Federal commitment to insure or guarantee a loan, in excess of $150,000, must disclose lobbying with other than appropriated funds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement the policy set forth in Office of Management and Budget (OMB Memorandum No. M-02-07, Procurement of Printing and Duplicating Through the Government Printing Office (GPO) (May 3, 2002)). In order to induce competition, save taxpayer money, and promote small business opportunities, the memorandum eliminates restrictions that mandated use of GPO as the single source and frees agencies to select printing from a wide array of sources that can demonstrate their ability to meet the Government's needs most effectively. This regulatory action is a significant regulatory action and was subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the  Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require contractor registration in the Central Contractor Register (CCR) database prior to award of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement.  In addition, the rule requires contracting officers to modify existing contracts whose period of performance extends beyond September 30, 2003, to require contractors to register in the CCR database by December 31, 2003.  The rule also revises the source list of supplies at FAR 13.102 to reflect statutory changes in 15 U.S.C. 644(g). This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. The rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

The Paperwork Reduction Act (Pub. L. 104-13) applies because the rule contains information collection requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In August 2001, the Commission announced that it would consider the relationship between the ADEA and employer-sponsored retiree health benefit plans that alter, reduce, or eliminate benefits upon eligibility for Medicare or a comparable State-sponsored retiree health benefits program. There has been a decline in the number of employers providing retiree health benefits over the last 10 years.  Various factors have contributed to this erosion, including the increased cost of health care coverage, an increased demand for such coverage as large numbers of workers near retirement age, and changes in the way accounting rules treat the long-term costs of providing retiree health benefits. Another factor has been employer concern about the potential application of the ADEA to employer-sponsored retiree health benefits. The Commission is proposing a narrowly drawn ADEA exemption that permits the practice of coordinating employer-provided retiree health coverage with eligibility for Medicare or a State-sponsored retiree health benefits program, so that the ADEA does not discourage employers from providing, or continuing to provide, health benefits to their retirees.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 9 of the ADEA, the Commission is authorized to establish reasonable exemptions to and from any or all provisions of the Act as it may find necessary and proper in the public interest.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Commission considered various alternatives in developing this proposal.  The Commission will consider all alternatives offered by the public commenters.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Commission recognizes that while employers are under no legal obligation to offer retiree health benefits, some employers choose to do so in order to maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, using these and other benefits to attract and retain the best talent available to work for their organizations.  The proposed rule will ensure that the application of the ADEA does not discourage employers from providing, or continuing to provide, health benefits to their retirees who otherwise would have to obtain such coverage in the private individual marketplace at significant personal expense.  The Commission believes that it is in the best interest of both employers and employees for the Commission to pursue a policy that permits employers to offer these benefits to the greatest extent possible.  It is not anticipated that the proposal will result in increased costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The proposed regulatory action will reduce the risks of liability for noncompliance with the statute by exempting certain employer practices from regulation.  This proposal does not address risks to public safety or the environment.]]></RISKS>

        <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 has adopted rate regulations to implement section 623 of the 1992 Cable Act to ensure that cable subscribers nationwide enjoy the rates that would be charged by cable systems operating in a competitive environment. Reconsideration was requested. The 14th Order on Reconsideration addresses petitions on issues governing regulated services by cable systems.  In a subsequent notice, comment was sought on recalibrating the competitive differential between rates of systems subject to effective competition and noncompetitive systems.  In addition, comment was sought as to whether there may be a different approach to establish reasonable rates on the basic service tier.]]></ABSTRACT>

In the latest NPRM, comment was sought on rule changes that may be necessary or desirable in order to account for changes in the regulatory process resulting from the end of the Commission's statutory authority to regulate certain tiers of cable programming service.]]></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>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>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.

On March 14, 2001, the Commission issued an order modifying the methodology used to assess contributions to universal service.  The methodology was modified to reduce the interval between the accrual of revenues and the assessment of contributions based on those revenues.  The order reduced the interval from an average of one year to an average of six months.

On May 8, 2001, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking which sought comment on how to streamline and reform both the manner in which the Commission assesses carrier contributions to the universal service fund and the manner in which carriers may recover those costs from their customers.

On May 22, 2001, the Commission adopted a five-year interim freeze of the part 36 jurisdictional separations rules, pending comprehensive reform of the separations process.  The five-year interim freeze was based upon the July 21, 2000, Recommended Decision of the Federal-State Joint Board on Separations.  Under the interim freeze, the Part 36 categories and jurisdictional allocation factors of price cap incumbent LECs are frozen, while rate-of-return carriers had the option to freeze only their jurisdictional allocation factors.  The interim freeze is in effect from July 1, 2001, to June 30, 2006, or until comprehensive reform is completed, whichever comes first.

On November 8, 2001, the Commission released the Fifteenth Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Further Notice) reforming the interstate access charge and universal service support system for rate-of-return incumbent carriers.  The Order established a new interstate support mechanism to replace implicit support in the interstate access rate structure of rate-of-return carriers with explicit, portable support.  Among other things, the Further Notice sought comment on consolidating the existing Long Term Support mechanism with the new support mechanism created in the Order.

On January 25, 2002, the Commission released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order (Further Notice), in which it sought comment on modifications to the rules governing the schools and libraries support mechanism.  The modifications address changes that would make the program more efficient, ensure that the benefits of the program are distributed in an equitable manner, and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. In addition, the order denied certain petitions for reconsideration relating to unused funds.

On February 15, 2002, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order, in which it sought comment on the issues from the Ninth Report and Order remanded by the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.  The Ninth Report and Order established a Federal high-cost universal service support mechanism for non-rural carriers based on forward-looking economic costs.  In addition, the order referred these issues to the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service for a recommended decision.

On February 15, 2002, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking examining the appropriate legal and policy framework under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, for broadband access to the Internet provided over domestic wireline facilities.

On February 26, 2002, the Commission issued a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Report and Order, in which it sought comment on specific proposals to change the manner in which universal service contributions are assessed and recovered, including one proposal to assess contributions based on the number and capacity of connections provided to a public network.  This proceeding also made certain modifications to the existing contribution system.

On April 19, 2002, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in which it sought comment on specific proposals to: clarify how it should treat eligible entities that also perform functions that are outside the statutory definition of "health care provider;" provide support for internet access; and change the calculation of discounted services, including the calculation of urban and rural rates.

On December 13, 2002, the Commission issued an Order and Second FNPRM in which it sought further comment on three specific connection-based universal service contribution methodologies.  This Order also made interim changes to the contribution methodology to ensure the viability of the fund in the near term.

On February 25, 2003, the Commission issued an NPRM in which it sought comment on the Recommended Decision issued by the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service regarding the definition of services supported by universal service.

On February 26, 2003, the Commission issued a Public Notice in which it sought comment on a staff study of several alternative universal service contribution methodologies.

On April 30, 2003, the Commission issued a Second Report & Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, in which it simplified and streamlined the operation of the schools and libraries support mechanism.  In addition, it sought comment on further proposals to refine the support mechanism, including the carry-forward of unused funds.  

On May 21,2003, the Commission issued a Twenty-fifth Order on Reconsideration, Report and Order, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, in which it resolved several petitons for reconsideration of the Twelfth Report and Order.  In addition, it sought further comment on ways to provide enhanced Lifeline support to near reservation areas.

On June 9, 2003, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, in which it sought comment on changes to the low-income support mechanisms recommended by the Joint Board.

On July 3, 2003, the Commission released an Order eliminating the requirement that the National Exchange Carrier Association hold annual elections for its board of directors and that its directors serve one-year terms.  

On July 14, 2003, the Commission released an Order and Order on Reconsideration adopting the Joint Board's recommendations regarding the services supported by universal service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishing Rules and Policies for the Use of Spectrum for Mobile Satellite Service in the L-Band (IB Docket No. 96-132)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has established licensing policies to govern mobile-satellite services (MSS) in the L-band.  Specifically, the Commission has modified the license of Motient Services, Inc. (Motient), the only U.S. MSS system currently authorized to operate in the L-band, to use up to 20 megahertz of spectrum across the entire L-band.  Previously, Motient was authorized only to operate in the upper portion of the L-band.  In addition, the Commission has adopted and incorporated into part 25 of the rules specific operational parameters and technical requirements to ensure the integrity of maritime distress and safety communications service will not be compromised by MSS operation in the lower portion of the L-band.]]></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. The 2nd Report and Order addresses multiple dwelling units when the occupant charges video service providers.]]></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>

        <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.  A subsequent Further Notice sought comment on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) filed by affected industries.  The MOU seeks Commission action regarding compatibility regarding digital televisions and digital cable systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Subscriber Selection Changes Provision of the Telecommunications Act of 1996; CC Docket No. 94-129</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.

In February, 2003, the Commission adopted a Reconsideration Order and Second FNPRM.  The Reconsideration Order addresses, amongst other things, the requirement that a carrier's sales agent drop-off a carrier change request phone call once the customer has been connected to an independent third party verifier, and the applicability of our slamming rules to local exchange carriers.  In the Second FNPRM, the Commission sought comment on rule modifications with respect to third party verifications.]]></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, in the Access Charge Reform Order, 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. Reconsideration petitions filed in response to the Access Charge Reform Order, if not yet addressed, will be addressed in future reconsideration orders. On November 26, 1997, in the General Support Facilities Order, 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 November 1997 General Support Facilities Order will be addressed in a future reconsideration order.  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 carrier.  On May 31, 2000, in the CALLS Order, the Commission adopted an industry proposal (the CALLS 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.  On June 4, 2002, the Commission concluded a cost review proceeding in which it determined that price cap carriers' forward-looking costs justified scheduled increases to the subscriber line charge cap.

On June 24, 2003, in response to a petition for reconsideration, the Commission adopted a rule exempting payphone lines from the presubscribed interexchange carrier charge (PICC).  On July 10, 2003, in response to a remand by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the Commission released an order reaffirming two aspects of the CALLS Order:  the sizing of the interstate access universal service support mechanism at $650 million, and the adoption of a 6.5 percent X-factor.]]></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). On January 9, 2002, the Commission released an Order on Reconsideration dismissing 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). On January 23, 2001, the Commission released a First Report and Order, FCC 01-27, resolving issues raised in the September 9 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.

Petitions for Reconsideration in response to this Order are currently pending before the Commission.

On January 9, 2002, the FCC released the Directory Assistance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 01-384, in which the Commission solicited comment on whether there is sufficient competition in the retail DA market, and if not, what, if any, action the Commission should take to promote such competition.  The Commission sought specific comment on whether alternative dialing methods would promote competition.  Proposed methods include: (1) presubscription to 411, (2) utilizing national 555 numbers, (3) utilizing carrier access codes (1010 numbers), (4) utilizing 411XX numbers.  The Commission also sought comment on whether the 411 dialing code should be eliminated.  This proceeding currently is pending before the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. 

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.]]></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 (FNPRM) 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.

Because the issues in this FNPRM overlap with certain issues that the Commission is now considering in a separate docket regarding broadband services, the Commission has incorporated the FNPRM into the broadband proceeding insofar as the FNPRM relates to the BOCs' obligations to promote access to their networks with respect to broadband services. The broadband proceeding is entitled, "Appropriate Framework for Broadband Access to the Internet Over Wireline Facilities; Universal Service Obligations of Broadband Providers," CC Docket No. 02-33, NPRM, FCC 02-42 (rel. Feb. 15, 2002).]]></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, Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990; CC Docket No. 98-67</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Proceeding is the last in a series designed to update and improve telecommunications relay services (TRS) for persons with disabilities, in implementation of the Americans with disabilities ACT (ADA), Title IV.  Title IV of the ADA requires the Commission to ensure that TRS is available to the extent possible in the most efficient manner to persons with hearing or speech disabilities in the United States.  TRS enables an individual with a hearing or speech disability to communicate by telephone or other assistive communication device.  The Commission issued its first order pursuant to Title IV of the ADA implementing TRS on July 26, 1991.  Since 1991, the Commission has revisited the regulations governing TRS on numerous occasions, in part, to make available to consumers new forms of TRS, and to amend the mandatory minimum standards to improve the quality of TRS, consistent with the goal of functional equivalency set forth in section 225.  Through these actions the Commission has broadly defined TRS to include any service that enables persons with hearing or speech disabilities to use the telecommunications network to communicate by wire or radio, and not to be limited to either telecommunications service or services that require a TTY.  This item includes a report and order, an order on reconsideration, and a further notice of proposed rulemaking.  This item amends existing and establishes new regulations governing TRS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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[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>

        <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>

        <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 those used to provide 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 did not sufficiently address long-term spectrum compatibility issues, the Commission adopted a companion Further NPRM that sought comment on issues related to developing long-term standards and practices for spectrum compatibility and management. In the Further NPRM, the Commission also tentatively concluded 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 sought 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.  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 amended 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 enables 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 adopted 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.

On December 20, 2001, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket Nos. 01-338, 96-98, and 98-147 seeking comment on whether, in light of changed circumstances, it should retain the unbundling requirement.

On May 24, 2002, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the Commission's line sharing rules, finding that the Commission had failed to give adequate consideration to existing facilities-based competition in the provision of broadband services, especially by cable systems.  The court stayed the effectiveness of its opinion through February 20, 2003.  On August 21, 2003, the Commission released a Report and Order on Remand and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Triennial Review Order) in CC Docket Nos. 01-338, 96-98, and 98-147, declining to reinstate its line sharing rules except on a grandfathered and transitional basis.  Specifically, the Commission determined that competitive carriers are not impaired without access to the high frequency portion of an incumbent LEC's copper loops.  Among other things, the Commission determined that competitors will continue to have access to an incumbent LEC's stand-alone copper loops and reaffirmed the incumbent LEC's obligation to permit line splitting, which is similar to line sharing, but with a competitive LEC, not the incumbent LEC, as the voice provider.  

In recognition of competitive LEC reliance on the vacated line-sharing rules, the Commission's Triennial Review Order established an interim grandfather rule, which permits competitive LECs to continue providing DSL service to all existing customers until the next biennial review.  In addition, the Commission established a tree-year transition period, which is designed to minimize customer disruption and provide a glide path to competitive LECs currently availing themselves of the line sharing UNE.  During the first year of the transition, competitive carriers may continue to sign up new customers through line sharing at 25 percent of State-approved recurring rates or the agreed-upon recurring rates in existing interconnection agreements for stand-alone copper loops.  In the second year, no new customers may be added and this rate increases to 50 percent of the cost of a stand-alone loop.  In the last year of the transition, the same rate increases to 75 percent.  After the transition period, a non-grandfathered customer must be served through a line splitting arrangement, a stand-alone copper loop, or an arrangement that the competitive LEC has negotiated with the incumbent LEC to replace line sharing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Horizontal Ownership Limits</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 horizontal and vertical limits.  (Time Warner Entertainment Co. v. FCC, 240 F.3d 1126 (DC cir.2001)). Pursuant to the court's remand, the Commission is soliciting comment.]]></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[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 Accounts Settlement in Maritime Mobile &amp;Maritime Mobile-Satellite Radio Services and Withdrawal of the Commission as Accounting Authority; IB Doc No. 98-96</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rulemaking proceeding was initiated to foster the development and implementation of terrestrial digital audio broadcasting (DAB).  The transition to DAB promises the benefits that have generally accompanied digitalization - better audio fidelity, more robust transmission systems, and the possibility of new auxiliary services.  In the First Report and Order, the Commission selected in-band, on-channel as the technology that will permit AM and FM radio broadcasters to introduce digital operations.  Consideration of formal standard-setting procedures and related broadcasting licensing and service rule changes will be addressed in a future Order.]]></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.

On December 20, 2001, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to comprehensively consider the appropriate changes, if any, to its unbundling policies in light of market developments and technological advances.  67 FR 1947.  As part of this triennial review, the Commission incorporated the records of several pending proceedings on unbundling into this docket, including: (1) the availability of loops, transport, and combinations thereof; (2) high-capacity loops and dedicated transport; (3) local switching; and (4) next-generation networks.

On May 29, 2002, the Commission extended the reply comment date of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to July 17, 2002, to allow all interested parties to incorporate their review and analysis of USTA v. FCC, 290 F.3d 415 (D.C. Cir. 2002).  On August 1, 2002, the Commission issued a Public Notice seeking comment on a Verizon telephone company's petition asking the Commission to forbear from applying certain section 271 checklist items if the Commission determines that the corresponding network elements no longer need to be unbundled.  On August 13, 2002, the Commission issued a Public Notice seeking comment on a petition filed by WorldCom, Inc., asking the Commission to declare that requesting carriers are entitled to access certain data from incumbent LECs at cost-based rates when they use such data to provide interexchange and exchange access service.

On August 21, 2003, the Commission issued a Report and Order on Remand and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, in which the Commission adopted new unbundling requirements.  68 FR 52307.  The Commission re-defined the impairment standard for unbundling to mean when a requesting carrier's lack of access to an incumbent LEC network element poses a barrier or barriers to entry, including operational and economic barriers, which are likely to make entries into a market uneconomic.  The Commission's unbundling analysis specifically also considers market-specific variations, including considerations of customer class, geography, and service.

In applying this granular analysis, the Commission issued numerous detailed findings and conclusions.  As part of these determinations, the Commission concluded that for mass market loops: (1) copper loops are unbundled; (2) hybrid (copper plus fiber) are not unbundled for packet-switching but are unbundled for TDM-based capability; and (3) fiber-to-the-home loops are generally not unbundled, with a limited obligation for overbuild situations.  The Commission also held that line sharing would not be unbundled, but that line splitting must be supported by the incumbent LEC.  For high-capacity loops serving the enterprise market and for dedicated interoffice transmission facilities, the Commission concluded (1) that OCn loops and transport are not unbundled, (2) that dark fiber DS1 and DS3 loops are unbundled, subject to wholesale and self-provisioning triggers and potential deployment analysis, as well as caps on the number of loops at each capacity available on each route.  The Commission further concluded that carriers are impaired for DSO mass market local circuit switching, and directed the states to apply triggers and a potential deployment analysis to make impairment determinations within 9 months.  The Commission also resolved a myriad of other issues affecting the scope of the incumbent LEC unbundling obligations, including the availability of commingling, combinations, conversions, and other parts of the network such as packet switching and databases.

In addition, the Commission initiated an inquiry regarding whether the Commission should modify the so-called pick-and-choose rule that permits requesting carriers to opt into individual portions of interconnection agreements without accepting all the terms and conditions of such agreements.]]></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. The Commission implementing satellite broadcast signal carriage rule is 47 CFR 76.66.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Report and Order amends the Commission's rules for Radio Frequency (RF) devices to modify the limits on the amount of RF energy that is permitted to be conducted onto alternating current (AC) power lines.  These limits protect against interference to licensed radio services operating below 30 MHz.  The rule changes also harmonize our domestic requirements with the international standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission, International Special Committee on Radio Interference.  The Commission believes that such harmonization will benefit consumers and manufacturers by providing better interference protection to licensed radio services as well as promoting a global marketplace for RF devices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The First Report and Order amends the Commission's rules to permit the marketing and operation of certain types of new products incorporating ultra-wideband (UWB) technology.  UWB devices operate by employing very narrow or short duration pulses that result in very large or wideband transmission bandwidths.  UWB technology holds great promise for a vast array of new applications that we believe will provide significant benefits for public safety, businesses and consumers.  With appropriate technical standards, UWB devices can operate using spectrum occupied by existing radio services without causing interference, thereby permitting scarce spectrum resources to be used more efficiently.]]></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 proceeding, the FCC has adopted limits on out-of-band emissions from some mobile 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Report and Order amends the Commission's rules to require that noncommercial educational (NCE) television licensees primarily provide a nonprofit, noncommercial educational service over their entire digital bitstream, including ancillary or supplementary service; and apply to them the same program to assess and collect fees as that established for commercial DTV licensees' use of DTV capacity for the provision of ancillary or supplementary services.  This Report and Order also determines that the Communications Act of 1934 prohibition against the provision of advertising by NCE licensees does not apply to nonbroadcast services, such as subscription services provided on their DTV channels.  The intended effect of these actions is to clarify the manner in which NCE licensees may use their excess DTV capacity for remunerative purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Periodic Review of Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to DTV</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 18, 2001, the Commission adopted a Report and Order (R&O) and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, addressing a number of issues related to the conversion of the nation's broadcast television system from analog to digital television.    The Memorandum Opinion and Order on Reconsideration revised a number of the determinations the Commission made in the R&O, affirms other decisions, and provides clarification of certain rules and policies.  The Commission also modifies the minimum hours of operation of certain DTV stations and establishes guidelines for television stations that may seek an extension of the May 1, 2002, and May 1, 2003, deadlines for construction of DTV facilities.  The 2nd Report & Order resolved several major technical issues including the issue of receiver performance standards, DTV tuners, and revisions to certain components of the DTV transmission standard.  The latest NPRM commenced the Commission's second periodic review of the progress of the digital television conversion.]]></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>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.

On September 26, 2002, the Commission adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this proceeding.  This Further NPRM invited comment on refinements to the proposals in the NPRM to relax some earth station technical requirements, and on an alternative to the VSAT proposals in the NPRM.  The Further NPRM also seeks comment on proposals made by commenters in response to the First NPRM.]]></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>Children&apos;s TV, Obligations of Digital TV Broadcasters (MM Docket No. 00-167)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document seeks comment on the tentative conclusion that broadcasters who maintain Internet websites should be required to post their completed quarterly Children's Television Programming Reports (FCC Form 398) on these sites. The FCC Form 398 is required to be filed by commercial television broadcast stations each quarter. This form is used to provide information on the efforts of commercial television stations to provide children's educational and informational programs aired to meet its obligation under the Children's Television Act of 1990. Although the Children's Television Programming Reports are available in a central location on the FCC's website, members of the public may look first to their local broadcast station for information about programming at the station, making station website posting useful.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Radio Market Definitions (MM Docket No. 00-244)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This FNPRM proposes changes to local ownership rules and policies concerning multiple ownership of radio broadcasting stations.  The Commission examines the effect our current rules have had on the public and seeks comments to better serve our communities.  This action is also intended to consider possible changes to our current local market radio ownership rules and policies in accordance with the Telecommunications Act of 1996.  Because of the similarity of the issues presented in the Multiple Ownership of Radio Broadcast Stations in Local Markets to those in the Matter of Definition of Radio Market, the two actions were, in effect, consolidated.

These issues were evaluated as part of the Commission's biennial review of Media Ownership rules.  An NPRM was initiated regarding the development of radio markets in smaller communities.]]></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>Access Charge Reform and Universal Service Reform</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 11, 2001, the Commission adopted an Order reforming the interstate access charge and universal service support system for rate-of-return incumbent carriers.  The Order adopts three principal reforms.  First, the Order modifies the interstate access rate structure for small carriers to align it more closely with the manner in which costs are incurred.  Second, the Order removes implicit support for universal service from the rate structure and replaces it with explicit, portable support.  Third, the Order permits small carriers to continue to set rates based on the authorized rate of return of 11.25 percent. The Order became effective on January 1, 2002, and the support mechanism established by the Order was implemented beginning July 1, 2002.

The Commission also adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) seeking additional comment on proposals for incentive regulation, increased pricing flexibility for rate-of-return carriers, and proposed changes to the Commission's "all-or-nothing" rule.  Comments on the FNPRM were due on February 14, 2002, and reply comments on March 18, 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 20, 2001, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket No. 01-150 (FCC 01-205) (Merger Streamlining NPRM). The Commission proposes to streamline application procedures under 47 USC 214 for common carrier authorizations to acquire domestic transmission lines through acquisitions of corporate control. The Commission requests comments on the criteria it should adopt for deciding which applications would require little scrutiny to determine that they would serve the public interests.

On March 14, 2002, the Commission adopted rules to streamline the review of applications for section 214 authorization to transfer control of domestic transmission lines.  The streamlining procedures allow domestic telecommunications carriers to qualify for expedited review of their merger applications, thus eliminating unnecessary regulatory burdens on carriers while increasing the efficiency and transparency of the FCC review process.]]></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 percent of their numbering resources before they may get additional numbers in a particular area. That 60 percent utilization threshold increases to 75 percent 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.

In the NRO Third Report and Order, the Commission addressed national thousands-block number pooling administration issues, including declining to alter the implementation date for covered CMRS carriers to participate in pooling. The Commission also addressed Federal cost recovery for national thousands-block number pooling, and continued to require States to establish cost recovery mechanisms for costs incurred by carriers participating in pooling trials.  The Commission reaffirmed the Months-to-Exhaust (MTE) requirement for carriers.  The Commission declined to lower the utilization threshold established in the Second Report and Order, and declined to exempt pooling carriers from the utilization threshold.  The Commission also established a safety valve mechanism to allow carriers that do not meet the utilization threshold in a given rate center to obtain additional numbering resources.

In the NRO Third Report and Order, the Commission lifted the ban on technology-specific overlays (TSOs), and delegated authority to the Common Carrier Bureau, in consultation with the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, to resolve any such petitions.  Furthermore, the Commission found that carriers who violate our numbering requirements, or fail to cooperate with an auditor conducting either a "for cause" or random audit, should be denied numbering resources in certain instances.  The Commission also reaffirmed the 180-day reservation period, declined to impose fees to extend the reservation period, and found that State commissions should be allowed password-protected access to the NANPA database for data pertaining to NPAs located within their State.

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 ensuring 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.

In NRO Third Order on Recon in CC Docket No. 99-200, Third Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket No. 99-200 and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket No, 95-116, the Commission reconsidered its findings in the NRO Third Report and Order regarding the local Number portability (LNP) and thousands-block number pooling requirements for carriers in the top 100 Metropolitan Statistical areas (MSAs).  Specifically, the Commission reversed its clarification that those requirements extend to all carriers in the largest 100 MSAs, regardless of whether they have received a request from another carrier to provide LNP.  The Commission also sought comment on whether the Commission should again extend the LNP requirements to all carriers in the largest 100 MSAs, regardless of whether they receive a request to provide LNP.  The Commission also sought comment on whether all carriers in the top 100 MSAs should be required to participate in thousands-block number pooling, regardless of whether they are required to be LNP capable.  In addition, the Commission sought comment on whether all MSAs included in Combined Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSAs) on the Census Bureau's list of the largest 100 MSAs should be included on the Commission's list of the top 100 MSAs.

In the NRO Fourth Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission reaffirmed that carriers must deploy LNP in switches within the 100 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) for which another carrier has made a specific request for the provision of LNP.  The Commission delegated the authority to state commissions to require carriers operating within the largest 100 MSAs that have not received a specific request for LNP from another carrier to provide LNP, under certain circumstances and on a case-by-case basis.  The Commission concluded that all carriers, except those specifically exempted, are required to participate in thousands-block number pooling in accordance with the national rollout schedule, regardless of whether they are required to provide LNP, including commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) providers that are not required to deploy LNP until November 24, 2003.  The Commission specifically exempted from the pooling requirement rural telephone companies and Tier III CMRS providers that have not received a request to provide LNP.  The Commission also exempted from the pooling requirement carriers that are the only service provider receiving numbering resources in a given rate center.  Additionally, the Commission sought further comment on whether these exemptions should be expanded to include carriers where there are only two service providers receiving numbering resources in the rate center.  Finally, the Commission reaffirmed that the 100 largest MSAs identified in the 1990 U.S. Census reports as well as those areas included on any subsequent U.S. Census report of the 100 largest MSAs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding is separate from the Commission's proceeding on Enhanced 911 Emergency Systems (E911) in that it is intended to implement provisions of the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 through the promotion of public safety by the deployment of a seamless, nationwide emergency communications infrastructure that includes wireless communications services.  More specifically, a chief goal of the proceeding is to ensure that all emergency calls are routed to the appropriate local emergency authority to provide assistance.  The E911 proceeding goes a step further and is aimed at improving the effectiveness and reliability of wireless 911 dispatchers with additional information on wireless 911 calls.]]></ABSTRACT>

International call-back arrangements allow foreign callers to take advantage of low U.S. international services rates, many of which are significantly lower than the rates available in their home countries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FCC authority to govern Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) responsibilities of cable television operators was codified in the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984.  This authority was extended to television broadcast licensees and other multi-channel video programming distributors in the Cable and Television Consumer Protection Act of 1992.  In the Second Report and Order, the FCC adopted new EEO rules and policies.  This action was in response to a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that found prior EEO rules unconstitutional.  The Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking requests comment as to the applicability of the EEO rules to part-time employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Space Station Licensing Reform; IB Dockets 00-248 and 02-34</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to streamline its procedures for reviewing satellite license applications.  Currently, the Commission uses processing rounds to review those applications.  In a processing round, when an application is filed, the International Bureau (Bureau) issues a public notice establishing a cut-off date for other mutually exclusive satellite applications, and then considers all those applications together.  In cases where sufficient spectrum to accommodate all the applicants is not available, the Bureau directs the applicants to negotiate a mutually agreeable solution.  Those negotiations usually take a long time, and delay provision of satellite services to the public. 

The NPRM invites comment on two alternatives for expediting the satellite application process.  One alternative is to replace the processing round procedure with a "first-come, first-served" procedure that would allow the Bureau to issue a satellite license to the first party filing a complete, acceptable application.  The other alternative is to streamline the processing round procedure by adopting one or more of the following proposals: (1) placing a time limit on negotiations; (2) establishing criteria to select among competing applicants; (3) dividing the available spectrum evenly among the applicants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of Rules Governing Procedures To Be Followed When Informal Complaints Are Filed by Consumers Against Entities Regulated by the Commission; CG Docket No. 02-32</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding seeks comment on proposals to establish a unified, streamlined process for the intake and resolution of informal complaints filed by consumers in order to promote maximum compliance with the requirements of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (the Act) and our implementing rules and orders.

The Commission has previously emphasized that our consumer complaint mechanisms are a principal vehicle for achieving such compliance and promoting the pro-competitive goals underlying the Act and our rules.  We are concerned, however, that our existing complaint mechanisms require consumers to navigate an array of rule provisions and disparate procedures administered by various offices within the Commission in order to file complaints about practices they believe violate the Act or our rules and orders.  Our goal in this proceeding is to consolidate and streamline the consumer complaint mechanisms consumers use when submitting informal complaints to the Commission.

We propose to establish a consumer complaint mechanism patterned after our existing rules for informal complaints filed against common carriers pursuant to section 208 of the Act contained in sections 1.717-1.718 of the Commission's rules.  We also invite comment on whether we should make changes to our existing informal common carrier complaint rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules and Regulations Implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991; CG Docket No. 02-278</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission released an NPRM on September 18,2002, seeking comment on the rules implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA).  The NPRM sought comment on whether the Commission should revise its existing rules, or adopt additional rules, on the use of autodialers, prerecorded messages, and unsolicited facsimile advertisements.  The NPRM also sought comment on the effectiveness of the company-specific do-not-call lists and whether to revisit  the option of establishing a national do-not-call list.

The Commission released an FNPRM on March 25, 2003, seeking comment on the requirements under the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act to issue a final rule in the TCPA proceeding within 180 days and, in doing so, to maximize consistency with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) rules.  On July 3, 2003, the Commission released a Report and Order establishing, along with the FTC, a national do-not-call registry.  The Commission's Report and Order also adopted rules on the use of predictive dialers, the transmission of caller ID information by telemarketers, and the sending of unsolicited fax advertisements.  On August 18. 2003, the Commission adopted an Order on Reconsideration, which delayed the effective date of the written consent requirement for unsolicited fax advertisements until January 1, 2005.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 628(c)(2)(D) of the Communications Act generally prohibits, in areas served by a cable operator, exclusive contracts for satellite cable programming between vertically integrated programming vendors and cable operators.  Pursuant to section 628(c)(5), the prohibition on exclusive programming contracts contained in section 628(c)(2)(D) will cease to be effective on October 5, 2002, unless the FCC conducts a proceeding and finds that such prohibition continues to be necessary to preserve and protect competition and diversity in the distribution of video programming. In October 2001, the FCC issued an NPRM to initiate a proceeding in order to make that determination.  In June 2002, the Commission issued an order extending the prohibition on exclusive contracts to October 5, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

That initiative did not lead to a proposed rule. Instead, the FDIC plans to revisit the issue with a new advance notice of proposed rulemaking 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>

        <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 notice of proposed rulemaking (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 the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, sections 201 or 202, which are being withdrawn until further notice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is proposing to amend its regulations under the Federal Power Act, to modify the pro forma open access transmission tariff established under the Commission's order No. 888, to provide for non-discriminatory standardized transmission service and wholesale electric markets, and so to remedy remaining undue discrimination in the provision of interstate transmission services and in other industry practices, and to assure just and reasonable rates within and among regional power markets.  The Commission has not scheduled a date for finalizing this rule.  It has issued a White Paper in response to comments on the rule and is holding regional conferences to further discuss issues raised by states and industry participants.

This action has been held in abeyance pending a Notice of Inquiry, which is exploring whether current coloading practices are consistent with statutory requirements and, if not, whether an exemption should be initiated.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Service Contract Regulations (Docket No. 03-03)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMC is amending its regulations on the electronic filing of service contracts for ocean transportation under the Shipping Act of 1984, as amended by the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1998.  The amendments add a provision to permit persons authorized to transmit electronically service contract filings for vessel-operating common carriers, conferences and agreements, to correct within 48 hours an original service contract filing (or an amendment) that is defective due to electronic transmission errors.  The revision allows a "corrected transmission" of the original service contract or amendment submission to be designated as such and filed in the Commission's electronic service contract filing system (SERVCON).]]></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 an interim final rule and proposed rules 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.

The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act), which became effective October 1, 2000, 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. Certain provisions in the Board's proposal, however, were modified or preempted by the Act, while other provisions were not addressed by the E-Sign Act but were 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 (66 FR 17786, April 4, 2001). The scheduled mandatory compliance date was later lifted (66 FR 41439, August 8, 2001). 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. The interim final rule also establishes uniform requirements for the timing and delivery of electronic disclosures. The March 1998 interim rule was withdrawn under the interim final rule.

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>

Some provisions in the Board's proposals, however, were modified or preempted by the Act, while other provisions were not addressed by the E-Sign Act but were consistent with that Act and could be issued as final rules.

In March 2001, the Board issued interim final rules on the electronic delivery of disclosures (66 FR 17329, March 30, 2001, and 66 FR 17779, April 4, 2001).  The scheduled mandatory compliance date was later lifted (66 FR 41439, August 8, 2001). 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. There are exceptions for certain disclosures.  The interim final rules also establish uniform requirements for the timing and delivery of electronic disclosures. 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>

        <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.

        <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: 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, among other things, 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 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, agency staff is considering a revised proposal.]]></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. It is not anticipated that the proposal 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</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. The Board notes that the Securities and Exchange Commission has, by rule, delayed the effective date of the new exemptions for banks contained in section 3(a)(4) and (5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and has indicated that it expects to issue for public comment, a revised rule to implement the "broker" exception in section 3(a)(4) of the Securities and Exchange Act. The Board requested comment on rules that would provide guidance concerning the scope of their exemptions (66 FR 27760, May 18, 2001; 67 FR 67496, November 5, 2002; SEC Release No. 34-45897, May 8, 2002; SEC Release No. 34-46751, October 30, 2002). In light of these developments, the Board has delayed adopting a recordkeeping rule pending action by the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is not anticipated that the Board's proposal, when issued, would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities subject to the Board's regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2000, the Board issued an interim rule, with request for public comment, amending Regulations H and Y to 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation: Y -- Bank Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control (Docket Number: R-1094)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 specify 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: 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 goal of these regulations 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 regulation 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>

While the guidelines are continuously monitored and updated as required to reflect market innovations, accounting changes, or modifications to supervisory policy, the Board is undertaking a more comprehensive review of the guidelines to minimize regulatory burden, clarify issues arising from the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, enhance the overall risk sensitivity, and to comply with provisions of section 610(c) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1994. This review is proceeding in conjunction with ongoing revisions to the Basel Accord. The Board will consider requesting comment after Basel CP3 is released.]]></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 provisions in 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 interagency final rule, Board action is pending development of revised international standards for collateralization as part of the revision of Basel Accord.]]></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. 

Further action by the Board is not expected during the next six months.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission will continue to consider ways to streamline and improve the review program. On March 4, 2002, the Commission published a tentative timetable for its regulatory review program under which all of the Commission's rules and guides are reviewed over a ten year period. 67 FR 9630 (Mar. 4, 2002). On January 17, 2003, the Commission announced that it will review one rule, two guides, and the statements of general policy or interpretations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act during 2003. 68 FR 2465 (Jan. 17, 2003).  No determination about whether to modify or rescind a rule, 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. Finally, the Commission may modify the rule review timetable as circumstances warrant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 requires health warnings on all packages and advertisements 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, particularly their economic impact, in order to decide whether they should be amended. Staff plans to forward its recommendations to the Commission this year.]]></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 public 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 a 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 by early 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Regulation Rule on Ophthalmic Practice Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Issued in 1978, 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 evaluating the comments received and formulating a recommendation as to whether the Commission should retain the Rule or initiate a rulemaking to revise or repeal it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rule, which became effective on November 20, 1995, requires disclosure of appropriate cost and benefit information to enable consumers to make reasonable purchasing choices and comparisons between nonliquid alternative fuels as well as alternative-fueled vehicles.  As part of its ongoing systemic review of all Federal Trade Commission rules and guides, the Commission requested comments on, among other things, the economic impact and benefits of this Rule; possible conflict between the Rule and State, local, or other Federal laws or regulations; and the effect on the Rule of any technological, economic, or other industry changes.  The Commission also requested comments on specific options for modifying the Rule's alternative-fueled vehicle label in light of new Environmental Protection Agency tailpipe emissions standards.  No Commission determination on the need for or the substance of the Rule should be inferred from the intent to publish requests for comments.  The staff expects to forward its recommendation on a final rule to the Commission during 2003 and expects Commission action early in 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rule, which became effective on February 6, 1975; prescribes the required markings on imitation political and numismatic items, specifying the sizes and dimensions of the type, the location of the marking, and how to mark incusable (those that can be impressed with a stamp) and nonincusable items.  Specifically, imitation political items -- such as buttons, posters, coffee mugs and the like -- must be marked with the calendar year they were manufactured, and imitation numismatic items -- including coins, tokens and paper money -- must be marked with the word "copy."  As part of its ongoing systematic review of all Federal Trade Commission rules and guides, the Commission has requested public comments on, among other things, the economic impact and benefits of the Rule; possible conflict between the Rule and State, local, or other Federal laws or regulations; and the effect on the Rule of any technological, economic, or other industry changes.  68 FR 9856 (Mar. 3, 2003).  For example, the Federal Register notice asks for comments on whether changes in the relevant technology, such as e-mail and the Internet, affects the Rule since it was issued. No Commission determination on the need for or the substance of the Rule should be inferred from the intent to publish requests for comments.  The staff expects to forward a recommendation to the Commission during 2003 and expects Commission action early in 2004.]]></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 by specifically requiring 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 the systematic review of its 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. 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 to recognize technological advances in R-Value testing and specimen preparation procedures, and to clarify and streamline the Rule's requirements. The Commission reviewed the comments received on the ANPRM and issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed a number of amendments to the Rule. The staff expects to forward its recommendation to the Commission by March 2004.]]></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 most recent 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 new technologies and market practices and at the same time, reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens.  The Commission specifically 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.  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 preparing a staff report.]]></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 U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and to wait a designated period of time before consummating the transaction.  It also requires the FTC, with the concurrence of the U.S. 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 to reduce the paperwork burden on the business community.  The Commission proposed modifications to the HSR Form on June 14, 1994.  59 FR 30545.

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 became effective on July 1, 2001.

On February 1, 2001, the Commission published interim and proposed rules amending the Hart-Scott-Rodino Rules (HSR Rules) contained in 16 CFR parts 801, 802 and 803.  The interim rules took effect upon publication and implemented statutory amendments to section 7A of the Clayton Act that had been enacted on December 21, 2000.  The proposed rules set forth other changes improving and updating the HSR Rules.  

Both the interim and proposed rules invited public comment.  The Commission received seventeen public comments addressing the interim rules (66 FR 8679) and the proposed rules (66 FR 8723).  The proposed rules were revised and changes to parts 801 and 802 were made final effective April 17, 2002 (67 FR 11898).  Interim rule 802.21 was revised and made final in a separate rulemaking and made effective on February 2, 2002 (67 FR 11904).  On January 17, 2003, the Commission responded to issues raised by the comments received on the interim rules and issued final amendments to parts 801 and 803 (68 FR 2425).  The Commission also received a number of comments that were not relevant to the changes promulgated by either set of rules.  These additional comments remain under consideration and may be addressed by future rulemaking.

By the end of 2003, the Commission anticipates amending the HSR rules to allow parties to file the premerger notification and report form electronically via the Internet.  The Commission also expects to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking during the spring or summer of 2004 to revise its treatment of noncorporate entities.]]></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 decided to retain the Rule, 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 rather than in 1999 as originally planned under its ten-year schedule for reviewing all Commission rules and guides. The Commission published a notice soliciting public comment in May 1999.  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 (TSR or Rule), 16 CFR part 310, under the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, 15 USC 6101-6108. TSR 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.

The Commission was required to begin review of the TSR to evaluate the Rule's operation and report to Congress. The Commission issued a request for public comment on the Rule, its overall costs, benefits and its regulatory and economic impact since its adoption in 1995.  As part of the review, the Commission 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 TSR was held on July 27-28, 2000. The review is summarized in the Statement of Basis and Purpose for the "do-not-call" Rule. 68 FR 4580 (Jan. 29, 2003).

On October 25, 2001, President Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act, P.L. 107-56, into law, with provisions that have significant impact on TSR.  Section 1101 of the 2001 Act amends the Telemarketing Act to extend the coverage of TSR to charitable fund raising conducted by for-profit telemarketers for, or on behalf of, charitable organizations.

On January 22, 2002, the Commission announced its proposal to amend the Rule and to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Among other things, the proposed Rule would establish a centralized national "do not call" registry, would prohibit telemarketers from receiving or sharing a consumer's billing information with anyone else, and would prohibit telemarketers from blocking "Caller ID" information.  In addition, as mandated by Sec. 1011 of the USA PATRIOT Act, also referred to as the Crimes Against Charitable Americans Act of 2001, 15 USC 6101 note, the Commission's proposal would add certain disclosures and other requirements applicable to for-profit telemarketers who solicit charitable donations.  Staff held a three-day public workshop from June 5-7, 2002, to discuss these and other proposed changes to the Rule.  On May 24, 2002, the Commission also issued a related NPRM proposing that user fees be imposed on telemarketers and their seller or telemarketer clients for access to the national "do not call" registry in order to establish and maintain the registry.  See 67 FR 37362 (May 29, 2002).  The Commission announced the final amended Rule on December 18, 2002. On October 1, 2003, affected parties must be in full compliance with (1) Sec. 310.4(b)(1)(iv)(the prohibition of abandoned calls); (2) Sec. 310.4(b)(4)(the safe harbor for call abandonment as well as any record keeping requirements associated with the safe harbor); and (3) Sec. 310.4(b)(1)(iii)(B) (the national "do not call" registry provisions of the amended Rule).  68 FR 16414 (Apr. 4, 2003).  Full compliance is required for Sec. 310.4(a)(7) (the caller identification provisions) on January 29, 2004; and March 31, 2003, was the date required for full compliance with all other provisions of the amended TSR. 

As noted above, among other things, the final amended Rule establishes a national "do not call" registry, requires telemarketers to transmit Caller ID information, prohibits abandoned calls, prohibits unauthorized billing, requires express authorization when certain payment mechanisms are used, requires express informed consent in certain types of transactions, requires disclosures when the offer involves a negative option feature, and requires disclosures and prohibits misrepresentations in solicitations for charitable contributions.  The amended Rule provides an exemption from the do-not-call registry for businesses with which consumers have an established business relationship.  The Rule also exempts from the do-not call registry for-profit telemarketers making charitable solicitations.  

The National Do Not Call Registry opened on June 27, 2003.  Consumers can register for free in two ways: online at DONOTCALL.GOV or by telephone at 1 (888) 382-1222. As of October 1, 2003, it became illegal for most telemarketers to call a number listed on the national registry. 
 
On February 20, 2003, the Congress authorized the agency to collect fees sufficient to implement and enforce the "do not call" provisions of the TSR (P.L. 108-7). On April 3, 2003, the Commission issued a Revised Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Revised Fee NPRM) to amend the TSR by adding a new section that would impose fees on entities accessing the national "do not call" registry.  68 FR 16238 (Apr. 3, 2003).  The Commission issued the Final Fee Rule on July 31, 2003. 68 FR 45134. The Final Rule will among other things: require only sellers to pay the annual fee for access to the national registry; impose an annual fee of $25 per area code, with a maximum annual fee of $7,375; allow access to up to five area codes for free; and, set October 1, 2003, as the effective date for the "do-not-call" provisions of the amended TSR.
 
Additional revisions to the amended TSR will allow more entities to access the "do not call" registry for the purpose of scrubbing their lists, even if they are entities that are exempt from the FTC's jurisdiction.  However, the FTC emphasizes strongly that the information in the national registry may be used for no purpose other than to stop unwanted telemarketing calls.
 
To comply with the amended TSR's "do not call" provisions by the effective date of October 1, 2003, all covered sellers are required to access the registry for the first time between September 1 and September 30, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Appliance Labeling Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission issued the Rule concerning disclosures regarding energy consumption and water use of certain home appliances (Appliance Labeling Rule) in 1979, 44 FR 66466 (Nov. 19, 1979) in response to a directive in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), 42 U.S.C. 6294. The rule requires manufacturers of all covered appliances to disclose specific energy consumption or efficiency information (derived from the DOE test procedures) at the point of sale in the form of an EnergyGuide label and in catalogs. 

New energy conservation standards and a new DOE test procedure for clothes washers will become effective on January 1, 2004.  Application of the new test procedure (the J1 test) will likely produce energy consumption figures different from those yielded by the old test procedure (the J test). Because these test results are used to determine energy use information that appears on the FTC EnergyGuide label, consumers may not be able effectively to compare the energy performance of clothes washers if the labels are based on two different test procedures.

To ease the transition to the new energy efficiency standard and new (J1) test procedure, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) wrote to FTC staff on February 7, 2003, requesting permission to begin using that test for labeling clothes washers during 2003, before the test becomes effective. In addition, AHAM's letter requested that the Commission allow its members to provide special wording on the EnergyGuide labels for these models to help consumers in distinguishing washers tested under the new (J1) procedure from those tested under the old (J) procedure. AHAM proposed a modified label that would display a banner across the top stating: "This Model has been Tested to the 2004 Test Procedure. Compare only with Models with this Notice." AHAM requested that the Commission allow its members to begin using the new (J1) test and modified labels on May 1, 2003, and that the labeling changes be made permanent. 

To grant AHAM's request, the Commission would have to grant an exemption from certain EnergyGuide testing and labeling requirements for the remainder of the calendar year of 2003 and issue rule amendments to make the requested labeling changes a permanent requirement for all manufacturers after January 1, 2004. On April 4, 2003, the Commission sought comments on AHAM's proposals. 68 FR 16231. The Commission received four comments; three of which supported the conditional exemption and rule change.  In a Federal Register notice issued on June 18, 2003, the Commission granted a conditional exemption from certain EnergyGuide testing and labeling requirements for the remainder of the calendar year of 2003 to allow manufacturers to use the new (J1) test procedure immediately instead of waiting until the beginning of 2004.  The Commission also amended the Rule to require explanatory language on EnergyGuide labels for all models beginning January 1, 2004. 68 FR 36458.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending 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 final rule establishes the pricing policy between GSA and customer agencies for space and services furnished by GSA.  It also governs intra-governmental pricing of space and services provided by agencies other than GSA.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMR Amendment 2003-2; FMR Case 2003-102-1;  Federal Management Regulation; Mail Management</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The interim rule published in the Federal Register at 67 FR 38896, June 6, 2002, revised FPMR 101-9 and moved it into the Federal Management Regulation at 102-192. The new rule, rewritten in plain language, established four requirements at the agency level. Specifically, all agencies must (1) have written security plans at the agency and facility level; (2) ensure that mail costs are identified at the program level; (3) ensure that all payments to the United States Postal Service are made using commercial payment processes (i.e., not using the Postal Service's Official Mail Accounting System)--the effective date of this requirement will be October 1, 2003; and (4) have performance measures for mail operations. In addition, the new rule requires all agencies that spend over $1 million per year on postage to send GSA an annual report that states the total amounts spent on postage, verifies that facility security plans have been reviewed at the agency level, identifies performance measures in use, and describes the agency's plans to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their mail operations.

This second interim rule amended the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) to extend the deadline for agencies to convert to commercial payment to the United States Postal Service instead of the Official Mail Accounting System (OMAS). This rule amended the interim rule published in the Federal Register at 67 FR 38896, June 6, 2002, to reflect the extension of the deadline from October 1, 2003, to December 31, 2003. The FMR and corresponding documents are available via the Internet at http://www.gsa.gov.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Management Regulation; Motor Vehicle Management</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An amendment to FMR 102-34 has been drafted to incorporate recent changes in the program.  The significant changes proposed are:

1. The Fleet Average Fuel Economy Standards for FY 2000 and beyond is 20.7 miles per gallon for light trucks.

2. Motor vehicle identification requirements have been changed.  All required identifiers are now to be included on the license plate:  "For Official Use Only," "U.S. Government," and Federal agency or bureau identification.  Previously, the identifiers were on decals that were placed on the vehicles.   A waiver is currently allowing agencies to deviate from the decal requirement.  

3. UNICOR is the mandatory supplier of official U. S. Government license plates.  Lorton Prison in Virginia was the supplier for a number of years but has closed.  The GSA Federal Vehicle Policy Division (MTV) initiated a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with UNICOR to provide license plates to all Federal agencies.

4. Agencies are identified by a letter code on the license plate.  For example, the letter G designates GSA Fleet. 

5. The exemption from displaying U.S. Government license plates and other motor vehicle identification currently did not allow agencies to request this on administrative vehicles that were not directly connected to investigative, law enforcement, or intelligence duties.  Our office issued a wavier to this after the events of September 11, 2001, at the request of the agencies.  This note has been removed to allow agencies to request an exemption on all their vehicles. 

6. Addition of a clause that agencies are required to purchase EPA-designated content products such as re-refined engine oils, retread tires, and reclaimed engine coolant.

7. The Federal Motor Vehicle Fleet Report reporting is now accomplished through the Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST).  FAST is an Internet-based reporting system used by GSA and the Department of Energy to capture motor vehicle inventory, cost, fuel, and use data from all Federal agencies.

8. A new subpart has been added on Environmental Concerns, which addresses hazardous wastes, Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Energy Policy Act of 1992, Executive Order 13149, the Federal Fleet Program, EPA-designated recycled content products, and the Federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle USER Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FTR Case 2003-303, Federal Travel Regulation; eTravel Service (eTS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) proposed to amend the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) by revising the term Travel Management System (TMS) to Travel Management Service and by revising its definition.  New terms and definitions for the eTravel Program Management Office (PMO) will also be added.  This rule proposed  amending the FTR requirements dealing with employees' use of their agencies' Travel Management Service (TMS) and the eTravel Service (eTS).  The eTravel PMO will provide migration planning tools, coordinate migration planning meetings, and provide migration planning support beginning July 2003.  This rule proposed a requirement that agencies begin implementing the eTS no later than December 31, 2004, and complete migration to eTS for full agency-wide use by September 30, 2006.  This rule also proposed a requirement that agencies submit migration plans and schedules to the eTravel PMO no later than March 31, 2004.  This proposed rule specified that award of a task order to a vendor under the impending eTS Master Contract for implementation services, authorization and travel claim services, and (if applicable) reservation and fulfillment services will constitute the beginning of eTS implementation for an agency.  Agency-wide use of the eTS (accommodating FedTrip through September 30, 2004, and agency-contracted Travel Management Center support, if applicable) for all travel management processes and travel claim submissions will constitute complete migration.  Under this rule, agencies will be required to allocate the budget and personnel resources necessary to support eTS implementation, training, and use data exchange.  This will include programming agency funds to establish interfaces between the eTS standard data output and their applicable business systems.  This proposed regulation is in accordance with the President's Management Agenda for fiscal year 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) proposed an amendment to its regulations to implement the administrative wage garnishment provisions contained in the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA). Wage garnishment is a process whereby an employer withholds amounts from an employee's wages and pays those amounts to the employee's creditor in satisfaction of a withholding order. The DCIA authorizes Federal agencies to administratively garnish the disposable pay of an individual to collect delinquent non-tax debts owed to the United States in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury.
   This part was previously titled Collection of Debts by Tax Refund Offset. Effective January 1, 1999, the Department of Treasury started to conduct the tax refund offset program as part of the centralized offset program, known as the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), operated by the Financial Management Service (FMS), a bureau of the Department of Treasury. Since GSA has a cross-servicing agreement with FMS, which includes the TOP, the collection of debts by tax refund offset is no longer valid and is rescinded and replaced with the new part regarding administrative wage garnishment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Services Administration; Administrative Personnel; 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) and Governmentwide Requirements for Drug-Free Workplace (Grants)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These rules implement changes to the Governmentwide nonprocurement debarment and suspension common rule (NCR) and the associated rule on drug-free workplace requirements. The final and interim final rules reflect changes made to the proposed rules in response to the comments received during the comment period. The NCR sets forth the common policies and procedures that Federal executive branch agencies must use in taking suspension or debarment actions. It also establishes procedures for participants and Federal agencies in entering covered transactions. While these procedures are mandatory for all agencies of the executive branch under Executive Order 12549, any Federal agency with procurement or nonprocurement responsibilities may elect to join the Governmentwide system by adopting these procedures through the rulemaking process. Certain small Executive branch agencies that are exempt from having to issue separate regulations with the approval of the Office of Management and Budget, may initiate suspension and debarment actions in their inherent authority. Following the procedures set forth in the NCR will help ensure that the agencies' actions comply with due process standards and provide the public with uniform procedures. As an alternative, smaller executive branch agencies may refer matters of contractor and participant responsibility to another executive branch agency for action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>GSAR Case 2002-G507; GSAR Amendment 2003-02, Consolidation of Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting Clauses; Reduction in Amount of Industrial Funding Fee</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) amended the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to give GSA's Federal Supply Service (FSS) the unilateral right to change the percentage rate of the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) in Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts.  The final rule also modifies and consolidates provisions of two existing GSA clauses that implement collection of the IFF by FSS on sales from all Federal Supply Schedule contracts.  These clauses are Industrial Funding Fee and Contractor's Report of Sales.  They have been consolidated into a single clause, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting.  This new clause eliminates duplicative information from the preceding clauses, clarifies sales reporting procedures, and describes the procedures FSS will utilize to unilaterally effect future IFF rate changes.  
Additionally, while the GSAR does not specify the percentage rate of the IFF, GSA's Federal Supply Service intends to lower the current IFF rate from 1.0 percent to 0.75 percent of reported sales, effective January 1, 2004.  The final rule gives GSA's Federal Supply Service the authority to change the IFF after consulting with OMB prior to effecting any future changes.
The January 1, 2004, change will be implemented by means of a bilateral contract modification to be executed electronically.  As consideration to Federal Supply Schedule contractors for any potential costs incurred as the direct result of this change, FSS will allow these vendors to continue to include the 1 percent IFF in their contract prices until December 31, 2003, but to forward to FSS an IFF of 0.75 percent for reported sales for the period of October 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003.  Examples of the type of costs GSA anticipates contractors could incur include updating published prices and modifying accounting systems.]]></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[The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is proposing this rule to implement the "Federal Policy on Research Misconduct," issued by the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Federal Register (FR) on December 6, 2000 (65 FR 76260).  This proposed rule sets out the definition of research misconduct, the procedures for investigating allegations of research misconduct and recommending findings, and the procedure for adjudicating and appealing such findings.  Findings of research misconduct must be accompanied by recommendations for administrative action by NASA in order to discourage such behavior and ensure the integrity of research funded by NASA.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook--Investigative Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NASA sometimes, albeit infrequently, requires information for investigations of individuals working on grants and cooperative agreements in order to determine whether to permit, deny, or restrict access to a NASA Center, facility, or computer system, or to NASA technical information.  The provision at section 1260.35, Investigative Requirements,  is inserted in all grants and cooperative agreements to ensure recipients provide the information requested by NASA for any required investigation.  This proposed change is needed because recipients of grants and cooperative agreements, especially educational institutions, often do not maintain or have access to the types of information required by the provision at section 1260.35 about their staff, faculty, and students because of policy and legal restrictions.  Instead of requiring the recipients to obtain and submit personal information, this proposed rule makes it clear that the individuals needing access may provide the requisite information directly to NASA.]]></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 were published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NASA Astronaut Candidate Recruitment and Selection Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NASA's astronaut candidate selection process, developed to select highly qualified individuals to perform as mission specialist and pilot astronauts in human space programs, is regulated at 14 CFR part 1214.  As currently written, recruitment and selection activities for astronauts are conducted by the Astronaut Selection Office at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Assigning this responsibility exclusively to Johnson Space Center was well suited for the historical Astronaut Candidate Program but does not enable enhancements to the program that are needed to accommodate a new component of the Astronaut corps:  Educator Astronauts.  The Educator Astronaut Program will recruit educators to join NASA's Astronaut Corps to perform educator, as well as mission specialist, duties in support of NASA's education outreach program. Involvement of appropriate elements of the education community is integral to the conduct of activities associated with the recruitment, evaluation, and selection of Educator Astronauts.  Involvement by NASA's Office of Education at NASA Headquarters in activities leading to identification of candidates who meet the Educator requirements of the position is necessary and appropriate.  Accordingly, the CFR is amended to permit organizational elements that are not part of Johnson Space Center to perform activities associated with recruitment and selection of astronaut candidates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Duty Travel-Issuance of Motor Vehicle for Home-to-Work Transportation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule is designed to remedy a situation, which often arises at certain NASA installations.  Employees who are authorized to use motor vehicles for temporary duty travel must pick up their vehicles at the installation at the start of the travel period, even in cases where the employee's residence is closer to the temporary duty destination than the installation.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[NARA's records management program was developed in the 20th century in a paper environment. This program has not kept up with a Federal Government that creates and uses most of its records electronically. Today's Federal records environment requires different management strategies and techniques.

The revision of NARA's records disposition policies, processes, and tools is identified in our Strategic Plan as a key Strategy to meet the primary goal that "essential evidence will be created, identified, appropriately scheduled, and managed for as long as needed." Without effective records management, records needed to document citizens rights, actions for which Federal officials are responsible, and the historical experience of our Nation will be at risk of loss, deterioration, or destruction.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

The Federal Records Act also makes the heads of Federal agencies responsible for making and preserving records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions procedures, and essential transactions of the agency and designed to furnish the information necessary to protect the legal and financial rights of the Government and of persons directly affected by the agency's activities (44 U.S.C. 3101).

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NARA's regulation specifying facility standards for records storage facilities that house Federal records has been identified as being of particular concern to small businesses.  Because of the stated concerns that the regulation places a burden on small businesses, we are reviewing the regulation to identify possible modifications to the regulation that will still ensure protection of Federal records while reducing the burden on records centers that are small businesses.  This review may result in further rulemaking activity]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This provision limits borrowing for federally insured credit unions to 50 percent of paid-in and unimpaired capital and surplus.  The limitation is statutory for Federal credit unions (FCUs).  NCUA proposes amending the regulation to permit federally insured, State-chartered credit unions (FISCUs) to apply for a waiver from the borrowing limitations.  NCUA also proposes adding a new provision to its regulations that allows FCUs to act as surety or guarantor on behalf of their members.  The proposal establishes certain requirements to ensure that FCUs and FISCUs, if permitted under State law to act as a surety or guarantor, are not exposed to undue risk.]]></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>

        <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 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[It is necessary for the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) to promulgate regulations establishing technical standards for game classifications because of the distinction between class II and class III gaming set forth in IGRA.  Technical changes make it difficult for regulators to keep up with the gaming industry.  By establishing technical standards, tribal gaming commissions, the primary regulators of tribal gaming, will more easily be able to distinguish between class II and class III machines.  Further, it is necessary for the Commission to establish technical standards for the actual operation of gaming machines and systems and the equipment related to their operation.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[It is the goal of the NIGC to provide regulation of Indian gaming to shield it from organized crime and other corrupting influences as well as assuring that gaming is conducted fairly and honestly.  (25 U.S.C. 2702).  The Commission is charged with the responsibility of monitoring gaming conducted on Indian lands.  (25 U.S.C. 2706(b)(1)).  IGRA expressly authorizes the Commission 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 technical standards for game classifications and for gaming machines to ensure uniformity and integrity in tribal gaming.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Commission can either: (1) issue a rule establishing technical standards for game classifications and gaming machines, or (2) continue evaluating classifications on a case-by-case basis.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The development of technical standards will reduce the cost of regulation to the Federal Government.  Additionally, technical standards will aid tribal governments in the regulations of their gaming activities as well as prevent loss associated with defective or substandard gaming devices.  The only anticipated cost will be to gaming machine manufacturers.]]></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 rule would amend the Commission's regulations to ensure compatibility with the Department of Health and Human Services  guidelines, reduce unnecessary regulatory burden in some areas, clarify the Commission's original intent of the rule, and improve overall program effectiveness and efficiency.  This rulemaking would address the petition for rulemaking submitted by the Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) (PRM-26-1).  In addition, this rulemaking subsumes a previously separate rulemaking, "Reduction in the Scope of Random Fitness-for-Duty Testing Requirements for Nuclear Power Reactor Licensees" (part 26)(RIN 3150-AG62).  Because of the issues raised in response to the earlier affirmed rule, a new proposed rule will be published.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to establish thresholds for the control of working hours to ensure that working hours in excess of the thresholds are controlled through a risk-informed deviation process.  This rule would provide significantly greater assurance that worker fatigue does not adversely affect the operational safety of nuclear power plants.  This rulemaking also would address a petition for rulemaking submitted by Barry Quigley (PRM-26-02).]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendment would allow the Executive Assistant to the Secretary of the Commission, rather than the Assistant Secretary, to make the initial determination to deny NRC records in whole or in part under the Commission's regulations. Also, an appeal of a denial of a request for a waiver or reduction of fees, or denial of a request for expedited processing would be appealed to the Executive Director for Operations rather than the Secretary of the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to evaluate alternatives for the control of solid materials with very low, or no, levels of radioactivity. There are currently non-codified guidance and practices for the control of solid materials. Current practice is to apply, on a case-by-case basis, either Regulatory Guide 1.86 surface contamination values or no detectable activity using environmental measurements methods. In addition, there are no current release levels established generally for volumetrically contaminated materials. An examination of approaches to the control of solid materials would help the NRC staff evaluate the cost effectiveness of means to handle requests for clearance of materials during both operations and decommissioning.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission approved an option that includes posting on the NRC's web site the names of boards whose certifications are recognized as meeting revised criteria for training and experience rather than including the names in regulations.  The Commission directed that the staff develop the proposed rule based on the ACMUI's recommendations, with certain qualifications in SRM-02-0194, including clarifications about the meaning of terms in preceptor statements - the retention of which was required by the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend NRC regulations to add M5, a zirconium-niobium alloy to the alloys currently approved by the NRC for use as fuel cladding. The proposed amendment would eliminate the agency's practice of approving the use of this alloy by exemptions.  This action is intended to increase NRC's effectiveness and efficiency and to reduce unnecessary regulatory burden for licensees without adversely affecting public health and safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking would grant in part a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute, PRM-50-75.  In accordance with the same SRM, this rulemaking would also amend General Design Criterion (GDC) 35-and possibly GDC 38 and GDC 41 as well-to eliminate, based upon appropriate risk considerations,  the assumption of a coincident loss of offsite power for postulated large break (low frequency) loss-of-coolant accidents.  As such, the rulemaking would grant in part another petition for rulemaking, PRM-50-77, submitted by Bob Christie (Performance Technology).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lessons Learned From Design Certification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's requirements for early site permits, standard design certifications, and combined licensees for nuclear power plants, and for other licensing processes.  The amendments are based on the NRC staff's experience with the previous design certification reviews and on discussions with stakeholders about the early site permit (ESP), design certification, and combined license (COL) processes.  This action is expected to improve the effectiveness of the licensing processes for future applicants.  The rulemaking also would make conforming clarifications and corrections to the NRC's regulations.

The NRC is proposing to reorganize 10 CFR part 52 to establish a separate section for each of the seven licensing processes currently described in 10 CFR part 52 (early site permits, early site reviews, standard design certification, standard design approvals, combined licenses, manufacturing licenses, and duplicate design licenses). The purpose of this reorganization is to clarify that each licensing process has equal standing.  In addition, several subparts would be reserved for future licensing processes.  No substantive changes are intended by the incorporation of current appendices M, N, O, and Q into the new subparts in 10 CFR part 52.

The NRC is also proposing to retitle 10 CFR part 52 as Additional Licensing Processes for Nuclear Power Plants to clarify that the licensing processes in 10 CFR part 52 are in addition to and supplement the two-step licensing process in 10 CFR part 50 and the license renewal process in 10 CFR part 54, and are not limited to the early site permit, standard design certification, and combined license processes as the current title implies.

The proposed rule would amend section 52.1 to clarify that all seven licensing processes are within the scope of 10 CFR part 52.  Sections within current appendices M, N, O, and Q would also become new sections of the revised part.  In addition, the proposed rule would reserve sections for future licensing processes.  In doing so, the NRC hopes to convey that 10 CFR part 52 is the preferred location in 10 CFR for nuclear power plant licensing processes.  The proposed rule subsumed the rulemaking, Standardized Plant Designs, Early Review of Sites Suitability Issues; Clarifying Amendments (RIN 3150-AE25), that would remove redundant appendices M, N, O, and Q from part 50.  The part 52 rulemaking plan (SECY-98-282) was approved by the Commission on January 14, 1999.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Risk-Informing Special Treatment Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would provide an alternative, risk-informed approach for special treatment requirements in the current regulations.  Special treatment requirements are requirements imposed on structures, systems, and components (SSCs) that provide additional confidence 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  provided the Commission the proposed rule package on September 30, 2002.  In a Staff Requirements Memorandum for SECY-02-0176, dated March 28, 2003, the Commission directed the staff to publish the proposed rule in the Federal Register for public comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

Draft rule language was posted for public comment on the NRC Rulemaking Forum website on December 20,  2001.  Draft proposed rule language was posted on the NRC Rulemaking Forum website on April 2, 2002, and again on May 30, 2002, for public information.  The proposed rule package was provided to the Commission on July 15, 2002 (SECY-02-132).  Comments are being categorized and evaluated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to require NRC approval for transfers from licensees of unimportant quantities of source material (less than 0.05 percent by weight) to persons exempt from licensing requirements.  The objective of this proposed action is to ensure that the regulations regarding transfers of materials containing low concentrations of source material are adequate to protect public health and safety.  Publication of the final rule is being delayed until certain recent related issues are resolved to minimize the possibility of future inconsistencies in the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Compatibility With IAEA Transportation Safety Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations on packaging and transporting radioactive material to make them compatible with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) standards and to codify other applicable requirements.  These changes are compatible with TS-R-1, the latest revision of the IAEA transportation standards.  This rulemaking also would 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. (PRM-71-12)(February 19, 1998; 63 FR 8362).  This rulemaking is closely related to a corresponding Department of Transportation (DOT) proposed rule to amend transportation regulations (April 30, 2002; 67 FR 21328). NRC's final rule is scheduled to be published concurrently with the DOT's final rule.  Therefore, the publication date is dependent on DOT's schedule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to remove the requirement that non-electric utility power reactor licensees submit financial qualifications information as part of the license renewal process.  The proposed rule would recognize the need for a reduced level of regulatory burden for licensees falling in this category because the NRC has alternate means to ensure that these licensees are financially viable to operate their facilities and maintain public health and safety.  Non-power reactor licensees would continue to submit the financial qualifications information as part of the license renewal process and would not be affected by this proposed rule change.  Comments are being categorized and evaluated.]]></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, 1977 (42 FR 13803), that removed the original value for Radon-222 from Table S-3 so that it became subject to case-specific litigation.  It was anticipated that the Commission would add a specific value for Radon-222, but the Commission 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 fuels from a reactor; as well as many changes needed to update fuel cycle process and technologies.

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 (ANPRM) was published to request 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 Interagency Steering Committee on Radiation Standards (ISCORS), the NRC and the Environmental Protection Agency conducted a joint survey of sewage treatment plants.  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 submitted by the Northeast Ohio Sewer District  (PRM-20-22).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Advance Notification to Native American Tribes of Transportation of Certain Types of Nuclear Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. Further, DOE has developed a satellite tracking system to monitor the status of spent fuel shipments at all times. Distribution of this status 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. This rulemaking  was put on hold by the Commission pending review of NRC rules in response to events of September 11, 2001.]]></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 also would address a petition for rulemaking submitted by the North Carolina Public Utility Commission (PRM-50-57).

In SECY-00-0145, 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 draft decommissioning risk study as the 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.  Following the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the NRC staff recommended and the Commission approved the withdrawal of SECY-01-0101 because of the likely changes in the staff's position on decommissioning plant safeguards.  The decommissioning policy position will be revisited when a broad-scope NRC safeguards policy is developed in response to potential terrorist acts at nuclear facilities.  The schedule for the integrated rulemaking cannot be determined at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to require power reactor licensees to conduct drills and exercises to evaluate their protective strategy against a simulated design basis threat (DBT) of radiological sabotage.  The proposed rulemaking would also include risk insights, supporting guidance documents and be more performance-based.  Following the events of September 11, 2001, the staff recommended and the Commission approved the withdrawal of SECY-01-0101, Proposed Rule Changes to 10 CFR 73.55, which contained the staff's recommendations in the subject rulemaking.  This withdrawal was requested to allow the staff to incorporate its post-September 11, 2001, considerations in a revised recommended rule revision, then later resubmit 10 CFR 73.55 to the Commission for its consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published seeking stakeholder input on three proposed regulatory options and whether entombment was a viable decommissioning alternative.  In SECY 02-0191 (October 25, 2002), NRC staff proposed deferring the rulemaking until the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research has conducted research to develop a sound technical basis for an entombment option, estimated in 2005.  The Commission, in a Staff Requirements Memorandum dated November 26, 2002, did not object to staff's proposal, and requested information regarding the scope and type of research needed to support any entombment option.  This information was provided to the Commission on May 14, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to eliminate those requirements for pressure-temperature limits that are related to the metal temperature of the reactor pressure vessel closure head flange and vessel flange areas.  The proposed rule would amend footnotes 2 and 6 to table 1 of appendix G, and simplify restructuring of the table.  Also, this rulemaking would address the petition for rulemaking submitted by Westinghouse Electric Company (PRM-50-69).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Distribution of Source Material to Exempt Persons and General Licensees and Revision of 10 CFR 40.22 General License</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to improve the control over the distribution of source material to exempt persons and to general licensees in order to make part 40 more risk-informed.  The proposed rule also would govern the licensing of source material by adding specific requirements for licensing of and reporting by distributors of products and materials used by exempt persons and general licensees.  Source material is used under general license and under various exemptions from licensing requirements in part 40 for which there is no regulatory mechanism for the Commission to obtain information to fully assess the resultant risks to public health and safety.  Although estimates of resultant doses have been made, there is a need for ongoing information on the quantities and types of radioactive material distributed for exempt use and use under general license.  Obtaining information on the distribution of source material is particularly difficult because many of the distributors of source material to exempt persons and generally licensed persons are not currently required to hold a license from the Commission.  Distributors are often unknown to the Commission.  No controls are in place to ensure that products and materials distributed are maintained within the applicable constraints of the exemptions.  In addition, the amounts of source material allowed under the general license in 10 CFR 40.22 could result in exposures above 1 mSv/year (100 mrem/year) to workers at facilities that are not required to meet  the requirements of parts 19 and 20.  Without knowledge of the identity and location of the general licensees, it would be difficult to enforce restrictions on the general licensees.  This rule also would address PRM-40-27 and PRM-40-28 submitted by the State of Colorado and organization of Agreement States and Donald A. Barbour, Philotechnics, respectively.]]></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 requirements memorandum dated January 19, 2001, directed the staff to proceed expeditiously with rulemaking 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.  This rulemaking also would address the petition for rulemaking submitted by Bob Christie (PRM-50-68), and partially address the petition for rulemaking submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute (PRM-50-71).  Draft rule language was posted for public comment on the NRC Ruleforum website on November 14, 2001.  Comments are being categorized and evaluated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Incorporation by Reference of ASME BPV and OM Code Cases</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[New editions of the ASME BPV and OM Codes are issued every three years and addenda to the editions are issued annually.  It has been the Commission's policy to update 10 CFR 50.55a to incorporate by reference the ASME Code editions and addenda.  The ASME publishes code cases for section III and section XI quarterly, and code cases for the OM Code annually.  Code cases are generally alternatives to the requirements of the ASME BPV Code and the OM Code.  It has been the NRC staff's practice to review these code cases and find them either acceptable, conditionally acceptable, or unacceptable for use by NRC licensees.  These code cases are then listed in periodically revised regulatory guides (RGs), together with information on their acceptability.  Footnote 6 to 10 CFR 50.55a refers to the RGs listing code cases determined by the NRC staff to be "suitable for use."  No specific data or revision of the RGs is indicated in footnote 6 to 10 CFR 50.55a.  In the past, these RGs have not been approved by the Office of the Federal Register for incorporation by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations.  To address this matter NRC-approved code cases are accorded the same legal status as the corresponding requirements in the ASME BPV Code and OM Code, which are already incorporated by reference in the NRC's regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule changes several event notification and security reporting requirements to conform, where appropriate, the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) and monitored retrievable storage (MRS) facility licensees to more closely align them with those of nuclear reactor facilities.  In addition, the final rule changes the requirements for the submittal of written follow-up reports on safeguards events.  This change affects power reactors, ISFSI's, and several other categories of facilities that produce, possess, or transport spent fuel or special nuclear material.  The changes reduce, consolidate, and remove some licensee reporting notifications and lengthen the reporting period for other notifications.  Some new requirements  are added to permit NRC to effectively carry out its regulatory responsibilities and respond to public and media inquiries during emergencies.  Overall, the final rule helps the NRC and its licensees to better focus their efforts on the most safety-significant issues and to communicate timely information on recent and ongoing events.]]></ABSTRACT>

This revision would use a methodology that is consistent with the approach taken in Part 50 and the recent revision to Part 100, that address uncertainties.   The proposed rule also would clarify the need for a general licensee to design cask storage pads and areas to adequately support both static and dynamic loads of the stored casks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery, FY 2003</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to NRC licensees and applicants for an NRC license.  The rulemaking is necessary to recover, through the assessment of fees, approximately 94 percent of the NRC's budget authority for FY 2003, less the amounts appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund as required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990, as amended. 

The FY 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act amended OBRA-90 to decrease the NRC's fee recovery amount by two percent per year beginning in FY 2001 until the fee recovery amount is 90 percent for FY 2005.  The purpose of this amendment is to address the fairness and equity concerns related to charging NRC license holders for agency expenses that do not provide a direct benefit to the licensee.  The dollar amount to be recovered for FY 2003 is approximately $526.3 million.  OBRA-90, as amended, requires that the fees for FY 2003 be collected by September 30, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule is necessary to facilitate the import of major components of domestic nuclear reactors, not currently manufactured in the United States, in furtherance of the protection of public health and safety.  The direct final rule also reduces the unnecessary regulatory burden imposed by specific licensing related to the maintenance of NRC-licensed reactors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of the Maximum Retrospective Deferred Premium</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule increases the maximum secondary retrospective deferred premium for liability insurance coverage in the event of nuclear incidents at licensed, operating, commercial nuclear power plants with a rated capacity of 100,000 kW or more.  Presently established at $83.9 million per reactor per incident (but not to exceed $10 million in any 1 year), the maximum secondary retrospective deferred premium is being increased to $94.5 million per reactor per incident (but not to exceed $10 million in any 1 year).  The change is based on the aggregate percentage change of 12.59 percent in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from September 1998 through March 2003.   The Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988 requires that this inflation adjustment be made at least once each 5 years.  The increase in the primary nuclear liability insurance layer, which was increased on January 1, 2003, to $300 million, is also reflected in this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will amend the Commission's regulations to change the schedule of fees for processing licensee applications for access authorization.  The NRC is replacing its set fee schedules for special nuclear material access authorization and national security information or restricted data access authorization with a formula for calculating fees based on current Office of Personnel Management billing rates for personnel background investigations.  The new formula is designed to recover the full cost of application processing from the licensee.  The use of a fee assessment formula tied to current OPM billing rates will eliminate the need for the NRC to update its access authorization fee schedules through regular rulemakings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Submission of Documents Electronically; Minor Corrections</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the Commission's regulations to 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 NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS).  The rulemaking addresses and improves 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. The rule incorporates minor corrections to the current regulations regarding the submission of documents to the NRC (e.g., 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 Elimination Act of 1998, to reduce the information collection burden on the public and to make information more readily accessible to the public. This rule was published as a direct final rule on September 6, 2002.  Significant adverse comments were received on the companion proposed rule.  The direct final rule was withdrawn on December 4, 2002.  A subsequent final rule addressing the comments received will be published in the Federal Register.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulation implementing certain provisions of Executive Order 12674 on Principles of Ethical Conduct, as modified by Executive Order 12731, and the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-194), as amended. Effective February 3, 1993, this ethical conduct standards regulation generally superseded executive branch employee conduct and gifts rules, as well as pertinent portions of agency-specific conduct regulations issued under prior Executive Order 11222. For certain existing agency regulatory standards setting forth financial interest prohibitions and prior approval for outside employment/activities, an extended grace period was in effect until November 1, 1996, or until individual concerned agencies issued supplemental regulations (with Office of Government Ethics concurrence), whichever occurred first.]]></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.C., 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. Additional exemptions are considered for development from time to time as appropriate.]]></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>Post-Employment Conflict of Interest Restrictions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interpretive regulation will give 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 Executive Order 12674, as modified by Executive Order 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of OMB Circular A-127 To Implement the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act and To Reflect Updated Financial Management Policies; Creation of a Single Financial Management Circular</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Last year, OMB planned to rescind OMB Circular A-127 to implement the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) and to reflect updated financial management polices. After more analysis, OMB decided to rescind A-127 and the following financial management circulars and replace them with one circular: 1) OMB Circular A-50, Audit Follow-up; 2) OMB Circular A-123, Management Accountability and Control; 3) OMB Circular A-127, Financial Management Systems; 4) OMB Circular A-127, Financial Management Systems Revised Transmittal Memorandum No. 2; and 5) OMB Circular A-134, Financial Accounting Principles and Standards.

For more than a decade, there has been a myriad of legislation enacted to hold Federal agencies accountable for their performance and to manage for results. The volume of guidance issued by OMB to help agencies meet these new statutory and administrative requirements is complex and confusing, and has resulted in agency performance and financial management and reporting more focused on compliance than performance and results. The purpose of rescinding existing Circulars and replacing them with one document is to consolidate, establish, and update Governmentwide policies and procedures related to executive branch Federal agencies' financial and performance management and reporting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 106-394 requires mandatory self and family coverage for Federal Employees' Health Benefits (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 FEHB Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Financial Sanctions of Health Care Providers in the Federal Employees&apos; Health Benefits Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 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. These financial sanctions may be imposed in addition to suspension or debarment, which are 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Employees&apos; Group Life Insurance: Removal of Premiums and Age Bands from Regulations</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. Since the current regulatory process does not allow OPM the flexibility to change premiums quickly and in an efficient and timely manner, we are removing the premiums from regulations. We will announce future premium changes in a public notice in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pay Under the General Schedule; Subpart F--Locality-Based Comparability Payments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under current regulations, locality pay area boundaries change automatically whenever the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) modifies the geographic coverage of a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) or a consolidated metropolitan statistical area.  OMB plans wholesale modifications in metropolitan area definitions in 2003 based on new criteria and 2000 census data.  We plan to tie our locality pay area definitions to the geographic coverage of MSAs as defined in OMB Bulletin 99-4 so that locality pay area boundaries will not automatically change when OMB revises its metropolitan area definitions.  This will allow the President's Pay Agent and the Federal Salary Council the opportunity to review the new metropolitan area definitions to see if they are appropriate for use in the locality pay program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing interim regulations to revise the final regulations issued March 14, 2000, implementing the child care subsidy program legislation. We are issuing interim regulations because Congress made permanent the law authorizing agencies in the executive branch of the Federal Government to assist lower income employees with their child care costs, thus making child care more affordable for those employees. OPM is also issuing these revisions as part of a broader review of OPM's regulations to make the regulations more readable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Retirement--Federal Employees Retirement System; Basic Annuity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 107-296 authorized agencies to request voluntary early retirement authority (VERA) based on a need for workforce reshaping. Previously, agencies could only request VERA based on demonstrated need to downsize. Public Law 107-296 also provided workforce reshaping flexibility to agencies requesting the authority to offer voluntary separation incentive payments (VSIP). Interim regulations amending 5 CFR part 576 have already been issued to cover the VSIP flexibility. Interim regulations revising parts 831 and 842 of 5 CFR are urgently needed so that agencies can request both VERA and VSIP based on the need for workforce reshaping. At the moment, they can only request VSIP on this basis--which hampers their ability to accomplish the goals set out in the President's management agenda.]]></ABSTRACT>

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, which agencies then use to pay the employee share of FEHB premiums.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

The Division is focusing on the section 5 restrictions on pre-filing offers and free writing and the Securities Act rules that permit limited types of communication during those periods.  The Division is also considering whether changes would be appropriate to the limitations on communications in certain exempt offerings.  Finally, the Division is examining the requirements for delivery of final prospectuses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Division of Corporation Finance is considering whether to recommend that the Commission propose an Exchange Act rule that would exempt qualified foreign banks from the insider lending prohibitions of Exchange Act section 13(k). Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act imposed these prohibitions on both domestic and foreign issuers.  However, it also created an exemption for federally insured banks that are subject to the insider lending restrictions under the Federal Reserve Act and its corresponding regulations.  Since most foreign banks do not qualify for this exemption as currently written, the proposed Exchange Act rule would extend this exemption to foreign banks that meet specified criteria similar to those that exempt domestic banks under section 402.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Division of Investment Management is considering recommending that the Commission amend the rule and the form under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that prescribe the method by which certain investment companies calculate and pay registration fees under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 457 under the Securities Act that allows for the offset of registration fees in cases of overpayment.  The amendments would make clear that funds must pay interest on late filings at the time of the late filing, allow funds to use excess filing fees resulting from erroneous over  payments with Form 24F-2 filings as an offset against future registration fees due with Form 24F-2 filings, and make technical corrections to the form.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Division is considering whether to recommend that the Commission propose rules and rule amendments under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that would establish an optional alternative method for computing net capital for certain broker-dealers that are part of a holding company group.  An eligible broker-dealer may elect to compute its net capital using this alternative method, which involves the use of mathematical modeling techniques to determine market and credit risk capital charges, if the holding company of the broker-dealer consents to Commission supervision of the holding company and the other affiliates of the broker-dealer.  As part of this supervision, the Commission would examine the books and records of the holding company and the affiliates of the broker-dealer, and the holding company would make periodic reports to the Commission, which would include group-wide financial and risk management information and a capital assessment in accordance with the Basel Standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supervised Investment Bank Holding Companies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Division is recommending that the Commission propose rules to implement section 17(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The proposed new rules would establish an application process through which "investment bank holding companies" ("IBHCs") could elect to become "supervised investment bank holding company" ("SIBHC"), as well as a process by which an SIBHC could withdraw from Commission supervision.  In addition, the proposed new rules would require that an SIBHC (i) create and implement a group-wide internal risk management control system, (ii) create and maintain certain, specified records and make them available to Commission staff during inspections and examinations, and (iii) provide the Commission with periodic and special reports.  Finally, the proposed new rules would establish remedies for non-compliance with these rules.

Pursuant to the Act, an IBHC is defined to be any person, other than a natural person, that owns or controls one or more broker-dealers.  Further, an IBHC that is eligible may voluntarily submit to Commission supervision on a group-wide basis to become an SIBHC.  An IBHC would not be eligible to become an SIBHC if it is (i) affiliated with an insured bank (with certain exceptions) or a savings association, (ii) a foreign bank, foreign company, foreign bank branch agency, or a State-chartered commercial lending company, or (iii) a foreign bank that controls an Edge Act Corporation. Section 17(i) of the Act created a new framework for supervising these SIBHCs.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, among other things, authorizes the Commission to review disciplinary actions of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and to create "Fair Funds" in Commission administrative proceedings.  The Office is also considering whether to propose for comment amendments to other provisions of the Rules of Practice as a result of its experience with those rules and to correct certain citations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of its efforts to respond to fraud and manipulation in the microcap securities market, the Commission proposed 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>

In Release 34-46313, the Commission stated that, in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 amendment of section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Commission does not intend to consider further proposed Form 8-K reporting of directors' and executive officers' transactions in company equity securities.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Proposed rule 55 under the Public Utility Holding Company Act is intended to provide a safe harbor for those acquisitions of one or more foreign utility companies by a registered holding company that meet specified criteria.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Standards of Professional Conduct for Attorneys</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted a rule establishing standards of professional conduct for attorneys who appear and practice before the Commission on behalf of issuers in accordance with section 307 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002.  The standards include a rule requiring an attorney to report evidence of a material violation of securities or breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the issuer up-the-ladder within the company to the chief legal counsel or the chief executive officer of the company (or the equivalent thereof) and, if they do not respond appropriately to the evidence, requiring the attorney to report the evidence to the audit committee, another committee of independent directors, or the full board of directors.  The Commission is still considering the "noisy withdrawal" provisions of the original proposal under which attorneys would be required under certain circumstances to withdraw from representing an issuer and disclose that fact to the Commission.  In the related proposing release, the Commission discusses that part of the original proposal and seeks comment on additional alternatives.  Although the Commission has not yet determined the date for the next action in this rulemaking, placement in the Long-Term category does not necessarily mean that the Commission will not act within the next twelve months.]]></ABSTRACT>

Specifically, Nasdaq requested that the Commission amend the rules of all markets that trade Nasdaq-listed securities to establish uniform trading rules, and to ensure equal surveillance and enforcement of those rules; order that the exchanges' costs of regulation, including costs associated with proper data collection, surveillance, and enforcement, be aggregated and deducted from the market data revenue collected pursuant to the Nasdaq Unilisted Trading Privileges Plan ("UTP Plan"); and, prohibit the launch or continuation of Nasdaq trading by any market that fails to protect investors as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act").  In addition, the Commission requested comment on whether the same actions would be appropriate for the regulation and trading of exchange-listed securities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted rule and form amendments to mandate the electronic filing and website posting by issuers with corporate websites of beneficial ownership reports filed by officers, directors, and principal security holders under section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Commission also implemented changes to the EDGAR system in order to facilitate electronic filing.  In addition, the Commission adopted rule changes to eliminate magnetic cartridges as a means of electronic filing.  The intended general effect of the proposals is to facilitate compliance with the will of Congress, as reflected in amended section 16(a), and to facilitate the more efficient transmission, dissemination, analysis, storage, and retrieval of insider ownership and transaction information in a manner that will benefit investors, filers, and the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The SBA proposed to amend its regulations for the HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program to incorporate changes enacted by Public Law 106-554.  SBA has withdrawn the proposed rule on the HUBZone Program.  SBA received over 1100 comments on the proposed rule and in reviewing those comments, felt several of them were significant enough to warrant further consideration.  Internally, SBA also found some other issues that we believe required further study.  The Agency does intend to publish an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to address each of these issues.  However, this action is currently pending because of the major potential changes the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2003 could make to the HUBZone Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

Presently, 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. To that end, SBA will draft regulations that strengthen the Agency's management of the SBLC Program.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

The rule will set forth the procedures for terminations and early graduations and amend the rules governing Federal surplus property.  The rule will clarify what criteria an 8(a) participant must meet in order to be considered eligible for a sole source 8(a) contract.  Part 124 will also be amended to include certain new policies and procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Some users find the SBA's small business size standards complex and therefore difficult to understand and use for their purposes.  This apparent complexity may also discourage some small businesses from participating in Federal Government small business programs.  To address this concern, the SBA intends to restructure and simplify its size standards by reducing the overall number of different size standards levels.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a)) delegates to the SBA Administrator the responsibility for establishing small business definitions.  The Act also requires that small business definitions vary to reflect industry differences.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The SBA considered establishing a single size standard for a broad grouping of industries, such as entire industry sectors or subsector.  The SBA does not believe this is a practical alternative, because the characteristics of industries within a sector or subsector vary too widely to support one size standard.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Costs to the Federal Government will be negligible.  There will be savings to the Federal Government because of reduced administrative costs.  Neither the costs nor the savings are quantifiable.  Small businesses will benefit because they will find it easier to determine if they are a small business and they will be subject to fewer different size standards.  Federal Government contracting officers and commercial lenders will benefit because size standards will be easier to administer in their contracting and loan activities.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Simplification may affect some businesses' eligibility for Federal Government small business programs.  The SBA believes that they will be few in number.  Also, new, simplified size standards are at risk of being considered inappropriate.  The SBA is addressing these issues in the development of its proposal.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will make substantive changes and amendments to the Governmentwide nonprocurement common rule for debarment and suspension and the Governmentwide rule for implementing the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988.  For example, this rule will: (1) provide for optional lower tier suspension and debarment coverage by including paragraph 145.220(d) for all contracts that equal or exceed the $25,000 award threshold under SBA nonprocurement transactions; (2) limit the mandatory lower tier application of an exclusion to the first procurement level under a nonprocurement covered transaction; (3) set the dollar threshold on prohibited lower tier procurement transactions with excluded persons at $25,000; and (4) separate this proposed rule from the drug-free workplace requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend SBA's Small Business Size Regulations and the regulations applying to appeals of size determinations.  The rule will further amend the definitions of affiliation, annual receipts, and employees.  It will also make procedural and technical changes to cover additional programs such as SBA's HUBZone program and the Governmentwide Small Disadvantaged Business Program.  This rule will codify several long-standing precedents of SBA's Office of Hearing and Appeals and will clarify the jurisdiction of that office.  Further, the rule will amend all references in part 134 from the Standard Industrial Classification code to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code because on October 1, 2000, SBA converted to NAICS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice and 24 Federal agencies jointly issue amendments to their regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (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 regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Agency's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This direct final rule incorporates changes to the regulations as required by the Small Business Investment Company Amendments Act of 2001.  The 2001 Act contained two provisions that temporarily reduced 7(a) program fees for a 2-year period (from 10/1/02 through 9/30/04).  Thus, it temporarily reduces the guarantee fee and the ongoing annual service fee payable to SBA by participation lenders in SBA's 7(a) business loan program.  This direct final rule will incorporate these statutory, temporary reduced fee provisions into SBA regulations.  No other amendments are made by this action.  These fee provisions have already been publicized to borrowers and lenders through an SBA Information Notice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 9.00 and 109.00 of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of our regulations (404.1501 through 404.1599) describe those endocrine impairments that are considered severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, or in the case of a child claiming SSA payments under title XVI, that cause marked and severe functional limitations. We are proposing to revise the criteria in these sections to reflect advances in medical knowledge, treatment, and methods of evaluating endocrine impairments. The Supplemental Security Income Program incorporates and uses the same medical criteria as the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act (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, 86, 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>Exemption of Work Activity as a Basis for a Continuing Disability Review (Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999) (725P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to amend our regulations to explain how we will implement section 221(m) of the Social Security Act (the Act).  Section 221(m) affects our rules for when we will conduct a continuing disability review if a beneficiary works and receives benefits under title II of the Act based on disability.  (We interpret this section to include beneficiaries who receive both title II disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments based on disability.)  It also affects the way we evaluate work activity when deciding if a beneficiary has engaged in substantial gainful activity, and affects the standards we use when we determine whether disabiltiy continues or ends.]]></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 of termination because his or her disability prevents work activity. Section 112 also provides for payment of provisional benefits for up to six months until SSA makes a determination on the requester's entitlement to reinstated benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

We propose to revise the criteria that we use to evaluate cardiovascular impairments under the listings to reflect our program experience and advances in medical knowledge, treatment, and methods of evaluating these disorders. The SSI program incorporates by reference and uses the same medical criteria as the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to add six additional subchapters to part 408 (proposed) of our regulations. The title VIII program provides monthly benefits to certain World War II veterans who were previously eligible for supplemental security income payments under title XVI of the Act and reside outside the United States. These additional subparts would codify the title VIII requirements on reporting responsibilities, suspension and termination events, overpayment and underpayment policies, and the administrative review process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Clothing From the Definitions of Income and In-Kind Support and Maintenance, Exclusions of One Automobile, and Household Goods and Personal Effects Under SSI From Resources (950P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to make the following changes to our rules on determining income and resources under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.

1.  We propose to remove clothing from the definition of income and from the definition of in-kind support and maintenance. As a result, we generally will not count gifts of clothing as income when we decide whether a person can receive SSI benefits or when we compute the amount of benefits.

2.  We propose to simplify our rules on how we exclude an automobile in determining the resources of a SSI applicant or recipient. Specifically, we propose to exclude one automobile from resources if it is used for transportation, without consideration of its value.

3.  We propose to change our resources counting rules in the SSI program by eliminating the dollar value limit for the exclusion of household goods and personal effects. As a result, we would not count household goods and personal effects as resources when we decide whether a person can receive SSI benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[These changes will simplify our rules, making them less cumbersome to administer and easier for the public to understand and follow, and thereby reducing the potential for payment errors.  These changes also will make SSI financial eligibility rules more consistent with those of other means-tested Federal programs.  The changes also will eliminate the need to ask claimants, beneficiaries, and other members of their households certain questions that have been viewed as intrusive.  By no longer counting gifts of clothing as income, we will remove a disincentive for family members to help needy relatives.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[None.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Clothing -

None.

Automobile -

We considered revising the regulations to provide that SSA will assume that the recipient's automobile meets the use requirements for total exclusion of one automobile, absent evidence to the contrary. We did not select this option because it would not change the rule but only how we apply it. It does not go far enough in simplifying the SSI program. By revising the use requirements to exclude a car if it is used for transportation, thus replacing the four present specific transportation exclusion criteria, we will simplify the process.

We considered excluding the value of one automobile, regardless of use. We did not select this option because it would allow for the routine exclusion of an automobile even if it were not used for transportation. Such an approach would exclude an inoperable vehicle, a vehicle not being used at all, or a vehicle only used for recreation (such as a dune buggy). We maintain that it is unreasonable to exclude from resources the value of a vehicle that is not used for transportation.

We also considered increasing the excludable value of an automobile not meeting the use test to $11,000. We did not select this option because it would not simplify the SSI program.

Household Goods and Personal Effects -

Instead of excluding the entire value of household goods and personal effects, we considered raising the excludable limit to $10,000 from the current level of $2,000. We decided not to pursue this option because it would not provide any policy simplification.  It would increase the amount excluded but it would not eliminate the need for the current time-consuming and complex procedures for determining the market value of an individual's household goods and personal effects.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[We estimate that the program costs and administrative costs for these regulatory changes would be negligible.

The proposed rules will simplify the administrative process of valuing noncash items. The change to the household goods and personal effects exclusion would simplify our rules and improve work efficiency by eliminating the need to inventory an individual's household goods and personal effects and determine their current market value.  The proposed changes would also serve to make our rules less intrusive and more protective of the dignity of individuals seeking SSI benefits.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[These proposed changes would simplify complex SSI rules without disadvantaging SSI applicants or recipients or significantly increasing program or administrative costs.

Clothing -

There are no significant concerns.

Automobile -

Our experience shows that most SSI beneficiaries do not own expensive cars.  Still, it is possible that a beneficiary may, under our proposal, own an automobile that is used for transportation (and therefore excluded) and that is worth a considerable amount of money.

Household Goods and Personal Effects -

Under the proposed change to the household goods and personal effects exclusion, we would continue to recognize that individuals applying for SSI may own items that have investment value and which may be quite valuable.  Such items as gems, jewelry, and collectibles would still be considered countable resources and subject to the SSI resource limit.  Thus, the proposed exclusion for household goods and personal effects would not create an unintended exclusion for items that have investment value.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Evidence Requirement for Assignment of Social Security Numbers (SSNs); Assignment of SSNs to Foreign Students (960P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Abstract: We propose to clarify our rules for assigning Social Security Numbers (SSNs) to foreign academic students in the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS, formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service or INS) classification status F-1.  Specifically, we propose to add additional evidentiary requirements for F-1 students who apply for SSNs. In addition to meeting SSA's requirement to provide evidence of age, identity, legal alien status, and work authorization, an F-1 student who does not have a valid BCIS-issued Employment Authorization Document (EAD) will be required to present evidence that on-campus employment has been secured before we will assign an SSN.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We considered just requiring schools to certify the number of on-campus jobs available (including as a subset those being held for F-1 students) and the number of F-1 students who want to work.  However, we do not believe it adequately addresses our need to ensure that the individual student applicant for an SSN is working or has obtained a job before we will assign him or her an SSN.  As such, this alternative would do little to achieve our objective in making the regulations changes, which is to reduce the opportunity for fraud through misuse and/or improper attainment of SSNs.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The program costs associated with these revised regulations are negligible.  Also, there are negligible administrative costs (i.e., less than 25 work years and less than $2 million).  Benefits to SSA include enhancing the integrity of SSA's enumeration processes and helping to alleviate the proliferation of SSNs thereby resulting in fewer opportunities for SSN fraud, including the fraud associated with identity theft.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Parent-to-Child Deeming for Individuals Who No Longer Meet the Definition of Spouse of the Natural or Adoptive Parent (793P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to change the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) parent-to-child deeming rules to no longer consider the income and resources of a stepparent when an eligible child resides in the household with a stepparent, but not his or her natural or adoptive parent.  We will clarify that a stepparent no longer meets the definition of a "parent" when his or her spouse dies or leaves the household.  Thus, an eligible child is not subject to deeming from a stepparent unless the child lives with both his or her natural or adoptive parent and the stepparent.  We also propose changing the age at which an individual is no longer considered an ineligible child for purposes of deeming from 21 to 22.  We believe this change will simplify our rules for both the public and our public contact employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rules will set uniform national policy with respect to this issue.

We are revising these sections to ensure that the medical evaluation criteria are up-to-date and consistent with the latest advances in medical knowledge and treatment. 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 use administrative wage garnishment to collect administrative debts and to collect qualifying, delinquent titles II and XVI overpayment debts owed by individuals 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>

Ongoing costs, once the regulation is fully implemented, are estimated to be about 65 WYs and $5 million per year, with higher costs of 80 WYs and $6 million for FY 2005 as older cases are cleared.

The estimated overpayment collections that we could receive for the title II program will be nothing in FY 2003, $25 million in FYs 2004 and 2005, and $15 million in FYs 2006 and 2007.

        <RULE_TITLE>OASDI and SSI; Administrative Review Process; Video Teleconferencing Appearances Before Administrative Law Judges of the Social Security Administration (737F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final rules consider and respond to public comments received on final rules with request for comment that we published on February 3, 2003, to authorize us to conduct hearings before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at which a party or parties to the hearing and/or a witness or witnesses may appear before the ALJ by video teleconference (VTC).  The final rules with request for comment provide that if we schedule a hearing as one at which a party would appear by VTC, rather than in person, and the party objects to use of that procedure, we will reschedule the hearing as one at which the party may appear in person.  We requested public comment on the final rules of February 3, 2003, because they made a significant change in a provision included in our notice of proposed rulemaking for these rules.  Unlike the proposed rules, which would have given claimants the right to veto the use of VTC to take their own testimony and the testimony of expert witnesses, the final rules with request for comment give claimants the right to veto the use of VTC only for the purpose of taking their own testimony.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Listings 5.00 and 105.00 of appendix 1 to the disability regulation at 20 CFR part 404, subpart P describe those digestive impairments that are considered severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity or, for a child claiming SSI payments under title XVI, that are considered severe enough to result in marked and severe functional limitations.  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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[These regulations are necessary to update the digestive listings to reflect advances in medical knowledge, treatment, and methods of evaluating digestive impairments.  They ensure that determinations of disability have a sound medical basis, that claimants receive equal treatment through the use of specific criteria, and that people who are disabled can be readily identified and awarded benefits if all other factors of entitlement or eligibility are met.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Administrative--not required by statute or court order.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We considered not revising the listings, or making only minor technical changes and thus, continuing to use our current criteria.  However, we believe that proposing these revisions is preferable because of the medical advances that have been made in treating and evaluating these types of impairments.  The current listings are now over 15 years old.  Medical advances in disability evaluation and treatment and our program experience make clear that the current listings do not reflect state-of-the-art medical knowledge and technology.  

Since there would be no changes or only minor technical changes in using this alternative, the program and administrative costs would be the same as under the current rules.  However, the program savings associated with the proposed rules would not be achieved.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[1.  Title II

We estimate that, if finalized, these proposed rules would result in reduced program outlays resulting in the following savings (in millions of dollars) to the title II program ($295 million total in a 5-year period beginning in FY 2003).

2.  Title XVI

We estimate that, if finalized, these proposed rules will result in reduced program outlays resulting in the following savings (in millions of dollars) to the SSI program ($85 million in a 5-year period beginning in FY 2003). (Note: 5-year total may not be equal to the sum of the annual totals due to rounding-out.)

(Note: Federal SSI payments due on October 1st in fiscal years 2006 and 2007 are included with payments for the prior fiscal year.)

Program Costs -

We do not expect any program costs to result from these proposed regulations.

Administrative Savings -

We do not expect any administrative savings to result from these proposed regulations.

Administrative Costs -

We expect that, if finalized, there will be some administrative costs associated with these proposed rules.  If finalized, the proposed rules are expected to result in administrative costs less than 25 work years and less than $2 million per year.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our rules to remove Democratic Kampuchea (now Cambodia) and Vietnam from the list of countries to which social security benefits individuals residing in those countries who are not U.S. citizens or nationals, may not be sent to under Department of the Treasury (Treasury) restrictions. The removal of the Treasury restrictions on benefit payments to individuals in these countries permits payments to accrue for affected individuals who are entitled to title II benefits for months in which they reside in either Cambodia or Vietnam provided they are not subject to other nonpayment provisions for those months.  The revisions are necessary to reflect that the Treasury has published regulations that have removed restrictions, under 31 USC 123, on sending Federal payments to payees living in Cambodia or Vietnam.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Continuation of Benefit Payment to Certain Individuals Who Are Participating in a Program of Vocational Rehabilitation Services, Employment Services, or Other Support Services (925F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final rules revise the regulations that provide for the continuation of benefit payments to certain individuals who recover medically while participating in a vocational rehabilitation program with a State vocational rehabilitation agency.  We are revising these regulations because of statutory amendments, which extend eligibility for these continued benefit payments to certain individuals who recover medically while participating in another appropriate program of vocational rehabilitation services.  These include individuals participating in the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program or another program of vocational rehabilitation services, employment services, or other services approved by the Commissioner of Social Security.

Prior to November 1991, the Social Security Act provided for the continuation of payment of Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income disability and blindness benefits to individuals whose disability or blindness ended for medical reasons while they were participating in an approved State vocational rehabilitation program under title I of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, if the Commissioner of Social Security determined that completion or continuation of the program would increase the likelihood of the individual's permanent removal from the disability benefits rolls.  The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 extended eligibility for continued benefits to individuals who receive Supplemental Security Income benefits based on blindness.  (We implemented this change by issuing operating instructions effective April 1, 1988, the effective date of the amendment.)  The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 extended eligibility for continued benefits to individuals participating in an approved non-State vocational rehabilitation program at the time their disability ended.  (We implemented this change by issuing operating instructions effective November 1991, the effective date of the amendments.) The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 requires the redetermination of eligibility based on disability of individuals who attain age 18, based on the rules for determining initial eligibility for adults.  These redeterminations are not continuing disability reviews, however, we are revising our regulations to provide that an individual whose disability has ended as a result of an age-18 redetermination may qualify for continued benefits based on participation in an approved program and increased likelihood of permanent removal from the disability rolls, if the individual meets all other requirements for continued benefits.  The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 authorizes continued benefits for a person who medically recovers while participating in a program consisting of the Ticket to Work program or another program of vocational rehabilitation services, employment services, or other support services approved by the Commissioner of Social Security, provided that the other requirements for benefit continuation are met.

These rules will explain what we mean by "an appropriate program of vocational rehabilitation services, employment services, or other support services."  They will explain when an individual will be considered to be "participating" in the program.  They will explain how we will determine whether an individual's completion of or continuation in an appropriate program of vocational rehabilitation services, employment services, or other support services will increase the likelihood that the individual will not have to return to the disability rolls.  They will also explain that, for students age 18 through 21, "an appropriate program of vocational rehabilitation services, employment services, or other support services" includes an individualized education plan developed under polices and procedures approved by the Secretary of Education for assistance to States for the education of child under the Individuals with Disabilities Act, as amended.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In fiscal year 2002, we announced a number of short-term actions to reduce delays in processing requests for ALJ hearings.  One of these actions was to allow ALJs to issue oral decisions from the bench at the close of the hearing.  We have found that ALJs are not frequently issuing oral decisions from the bench because of the duplication of work involved in issuing the oral decision and then subsequently issuing a written decision that fulfills existing provisions of our regulations requiring ALJs to issue written decisions that give the findings of fact and the reasons for the decision.  We believe we can make it easier to use the bench decision procedure to reduce the time required to issue wholly favorable decisions by amending our regulations to explicitly authorize ALJs to issue wholly favorable written decisions that incorporate by reference the findings and rational stated orally in a bench decision.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Security Income; Exclusion of Military Pay for Combat Service from Deemed Income and Resources (978I)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These interim final rules provide for excluding additional military pay for combat service from countable income and resources when we determine the eligibility of children and spouses of military personnel for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).  The exclusions ensure that the SSI benefits of children and spouses of military personnel are not adversely affected by the deployment of their family members to a combat zone.

Under these rules, in determining an individual's eligibility for SSI, we would not count the following types of income of an ineligible parent or spouse:

Any additional increment in pay, other than any increase in basic pay, received while serving as a member of the uniformed services, if-
1.  The spouse or parent received the pay as a result of deployment to or while serving in a combat zone; and
2.  The spouse or parent was not receiving the additional pay immediately prior to deployment to or service in a combat zone.

Under these rules, we also would exclude from deemed resources for nine months following the month of receipt, the unspent portion of any retroactive payment of:
1.  Special pay (hostile fire and imminent danger pay) received by the ineligible spouse or ineligible parent from one of the uniformed services pursuant to 37 USC 310; and
2.  Family separation allowance received by the ineligible spouse or ineligible parent from one of the uniformed services pursuant to 37 USC 427 as a result of deployment to or while serving in a combat zone.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Wage Reports and Pension Information (809P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Social Security Administration (SSA) proposes to amend its rules on processing reports of wages (paper Forms W-2, "Wage and Tax Statement," and W-3 "Transmittal of Income and Tax Statements," or equivalent W-2 and W-3 magnetic media or electronic reports) submitted annually by employers. We are proposing to eliminate the acceptance level for wage reports with unidentified or incorrectly identified wage items. We are proposing to include electronic filing as a means of wage reporting. Also, we propose replacing references to obsolete technical instruction bulletins with Magnetic Media Reporting and Electronic Filing instructions. We have updated form names and updated the address for obtaining a publication. These rules are intended to ensure that wages are reported to SSA with accurate information so that earnings can be properly credited to employees' Social Security records.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to revise our regulations that pertain to the processing of initial claims for disability benefits under title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act at the initial and reconsideration steps of the administrative review process. Under these final rules, certain State agency disability examiners, familiarly called "single decisionmakers," will be responsible for the disability determinations in many initial claims for disability benefits. However, they will be able to ask for advice from State agency medical or psychological consultants when they decide they need it. We also plan to review other rules to reflect these changes, including our rules about how we decide whether a person's impairment(s) medically equals a listing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Stepchild Entitlement and Termination Requirements (934P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SSA proposes to amend its regulations to incorporate the changes to the entitlement and termination requirements for stepchild's benefits introduced by the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996. The statutory changes allow a stepchild to be considered dependent upon an insured stepparent for purposes of entitlement to benefits as a stepchild, only if he or she is receiving at least one-half support from the insured person (stepparent). The changes also require benefit termination when the stepchild's natural parent and the insured stepparent divorce. We propose to extend the termination requirement to include: (1) a divorce that ends the marriage between a stepchild's adoptive parent and the insured stepparent; and (2) a prospective annulment that ends the marriage between a stepchild's natural or adoptive parent and the stepparent. We also propose to include in the regulations our longstanding policy that a stepchild's benefits are terminated when the marriage between the stepchild's parent and the stepparent is annulled from the beginning (ab initio). These proposed rules also correct a cross-reference affecting entitlement to mother's or father's benefits, and reintroduce an inadvertently deleted definition concerning dependency determinations for grandchildren and stepgrandchildren born during the one-year support period relevant to a child's entitlement on the basis of those relationships to insured persons. These rules will reflect enacted legislation and provide accurate and complete guidelines for determining entitlement to benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

We are proposing to revise these sections to ensure that the medical evaluation criteria are up-to-date and consistent with the latest advances in medical knowledge and treatment.

        <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>Evidence Requirements for Assignment of Social Security Administration Numbers (SSNs); Assignment of SSNs for Nonwork Purposes (751F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are changing our rules regarding the age at which a mandatory in-person interview is required for original applications for a social security number (SSN).  Under these new rules, SSA will require an in-person with all individuals age 12 or older who are applying for original SSNs.  In addition, we will eliminate the waiver of evidence of identity for children under age seven who are applying for original SSN cards.  SSA will also clarify that evidence of identity must contain sufficient biographical information to identify the individual.  Additionally, we will eliminate reference to a pilot no longer under consideration by SSA pertaining to the processing of replacement SSN cards for United States (U.S.) citizens.

We also will clarify our rules regarding when we will assign a SSN to an alien who is legally in the U.S. but not under authority of law permitting him or her to work in the U.S.  We are proposing to define a "valid nonwork purpose" for a SSN as those instances where a Federal statute or regulation requires and alien to have an SSN in order to receive a federally-funded benefit to which the alien has otherwise established entitlement, or when a State or local statute requires an alien to have a SSN in order to receive a public assistance benefit (i.e., a public benefit that is means-tested) to which the alien has otherwise established entitlement.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final rules will change 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 final 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 whether a claimant is able to do his or her past relevant work at step 4 of the sequential evaluation process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed rules amend our regulations at sections 404.130, 404.211, and 404.320 to clarify that if we count a prior period of disability in determining a person's insured status or benefit amount, the period of disability must be counted for both purposes. Similarly, if we exclude a prior period of disability when either determining insured status or the benefit amount, we must exclude it for both purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

All field offices in South Carolina and Kansas, nine field offices in New York City, and the Augusta, Georgia field office will require that applicants filing for title II and title XVI disability benefits allow SSA to take their photographs and make them part of the SSA disability claims file. Failure to cooperate will result in denial of benefits. We will permit an exception to the photograph requirement when an individual has a sincere religious objection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Sanctions for Refusal of Vocational Rehabilitation Services Without Good Cause (938F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our regulations to eliminate the sanctions for refusal of vocational rehabilitation (VR) services without good cause, thereby conforming them to the amendments made by the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999, which established the Ticket to Work program, repealed the VR refusal sanctions (i.e., deductions from social security disability or suspension of Supplemental Security Income benefits) effective with January 1, 2001. Under the obsolete sanctions, we were required to suspend disability benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments for any disability beneficiary or disabled or blind SSI recipient who refused rehabilitation services without good cause. Since January 1, 2001, refusal of rehabilitation services is no longer a reason for us to sanction disability benefits. Accordingly, we are eliminating the rules regarding the sanctions for refusal of VR services without good cause.]]></ABSTRACT>

We are changing the title of the official responsible for decisions on Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to conform to organizational changes. We published a notice on October 10, 2002, of organizational and functional changes within the Office of the General Counsel (OGC). The Office of Public Disclosure in OGC is now responsible for FOIA activities in SSA. This function previously was performed by the Office of Program Support, Office of Disclosure Policy in the Office of Disability and Income Security programs. We published a notice on November 15, 2002, deleting the Office of Program Support. These revisions will inform the public of the change in the official designated as SSA's Freedom of Information Officer.]]></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 and the 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>
