        <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 The alternative would be to continue to work with the disjointed, outdated part 3015.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>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Provisions and Revisions to Sugar Re-Export Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation governs the importation of world price sugar and its subsequent use as a refined re-export, 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; 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>Defense Priorities and Allocations System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to establish a system of priority performance contracts and allocations of certain agriculture-related resources, as necessary, to meet national defense priorities.  Current Department of Agriculture "stand-by" procedures to implement this authority are out of date and generally inadequate to meet Government or National needs should a situation arise that calls for exercise of the authority.  As a result, the Farm Service Agency is meeting this deficiency by promulgating permanent regulations that would allow USDA to efficiently place priority ratings on contracts or orders with respect to resources within its authority should the need arise. FSA envisions proposing regulations similar to the Department of Commerces Defense Priorities and Allocation System (DPAS) for establishing priority ratings for contract performance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Streamlining of the Farm Service Agency&apos;s Direct Farm Loan Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Guaranteed Loans--Interest To Be Paid on Loss Claims</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to allow a maximum of 210 days of interest to accrue from the payment due date with only one exception--FSAs failure to approve or reject the claim within 40 days of receipt.  Also, the actions expected of lenders and FSA staff will be emphasized.  Lenders are expected to file estimated or final loss claims on all accounts in a timely manner.  Depending on the circumstances, the estimated loss claim could be for zero dollars.  FSA staff will be reminded to monitor their estimated loss claims closer to avoid extra interest days.]]></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>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 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>Guaranteed Farm Loan Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSA currently charges a fee of 1 percent of the guaranteed amount on all guaranteed Farm Ownership (FO) loans and guaranteed Operating Loans (OL) except (1) where the majority of the FO loan funds are used to refinance an FSA direct loan, (2) on FO loans to applicants involved in the direct beginning farmer down payment program, (3) FO loans made under certain State beginning farmer programs, or (4) OL loans where the borrower receives an interest assistance subsidy.  Fees collected offset approximately 65 percent of the subsidy cost of the guaranteed FO program and 23 percent of the subsidy cost of the unsubsidized guaranteed OL program.  The proposal will increase the fee to offset 100 percent of the subsidy cost for FO loans and a majority of the subsidy cost for OL loans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defining Sugar Subject to Marketing Allocations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 7 CFR 1435.2, USDA is modifying the following definition:  Sugar means any grade or type of saccharine product derived, directly or indirectly, from sugarcane, sugar beets, sugarcane molasses, or sugar beet molasses and consisting of, or containing, sucrose or invert sugar, including raw sugar, refined crystalline sugar, edible molasses, edible cane syrup, liquid sugar, and in-process sugar.

Currently, sugar produced from imported thick juice and similar sugarcane products such as cane syrup and high test molasses are not charged against a sellers domestic allocation because these products are already considered sugar, as defined in the sugar marketing allotment program regulation, upon entry to the United States.  However, these products are not classified by the Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement as sugar. Therefore, they are not subject to the sugar tariff-rate quota.  This inconsistency in the definition of sugar permits imported beet thick juice and its cane syrup counterparts to circumvent the sugar program.  If this is done in significant quantities, it could negatively impact sugar prices resulting in CCC expenditures for sugar purchases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed amendment will provide that, for a loan that is not a Farm Ownership Loan, evaluation of the rights to any associated oil, gas, and minerals will not be required for the appraisal to be considered adequate.  Conversely, any and all oil, gas, and mineral rights attached to any real estate property being offered as security for a Farm Ownership loan will be required to be evaluated in any real estate appraisal obtained by FSA in connection with the loan decision.  Failure to include oil, gas, and minerals in the appraisal for a loan that is not a Farm Ownership Loan will in no way impair the Agencys ability to obtain our rights associated with a mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest in such oil, gas, and minerals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Farm Storage Facility Loan Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CCC Charter Act authorizes CCC to provide financing for producers to build or upgrade farm storage and handling facilities.  The Farm Storage Facility Loan Program was implemented in May 2000, with the final rule published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2001.  Since that time, questions have come up regarding specific subjects not addressed in the final rule.  The regulation presently states that the structure financed must be used to store an eligible facility loan commodity until the loan is repaid.  The eligible facility loan commodities include wheat, rice, soybeans, sunflower seed, canola, rapeseed, safflower, flaxseed, mustard seed, dry peas, lentils, and small chickpeas harvested as whole grains, and peanuts.  In addition, corn, grain sorghum, oats, wheat, and barley are eligible commodities to be stored as either whole grain or other than whole grain.  Due to recent inquiries into the program for the storage of hay and processed feed, the regulation needs to be amended to include procedure to follow when an ineligible commodity is stored in a structure under loan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interest Rates on Farm Service Agency Farm Loan Programs Guaranteed Loans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 7 CFR 762.124, USDA is considering a modification of the following section on interest rates, terms, charges, and fees:  Neither the interest rate on the guaranteed portion nor the unguaranteed portion may exceed the rate the lender charges its average agricultural loan customer. At the request of the Agency, the lender must provide evidence of the rate charged the average agricultural loan customer.  This evidence may consist of average yield data or documented administrative differential rate schedule formulas used by the lender.  Thus, FSA is proposing to amend its guaranteed loan regulations at 7 CFR part 762.124(a)(3) to provide that the interest rates charged on FSA Guaranteed Farm Loans must be based on a published index.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Signature Authority</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[If an individual will sign documents in a representative capacity, FSA requires supporting documentation to be on file in the county office authorizing that capacity.  Recent audits of field office operations revealed that this supporting documentation was, in many instances, not on file in the county office.  However, further reviews discovered that, in most of these cases, an authorized individual had in fact signed program documents, the program benefits were disbursed in correct amounts, and the correct people received the benefits.

Instead of requiring the customer to provide the Agency with the supporting documentation, we are updating the regulations to allow producer certification that proper signature authority exists and not require all producers to provide documentation to prove signature authority.  This will eliminate paperwork currently required by FSA procedure.  We will add a certification statement to all forms requiring a producers signature, similar to what the Internal Revenue Service uses on many of their forms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Indian Tribal Land Acquisition Program (ITLAP) Loan Write-Downs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will revise 7 CFR part 770 to comply with the Native American Technical Corrections Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-221, May 12, 2006) ("NATCA").  Section 203 of the NATCA provides that (1)  actual rental proceeds from the lease of land acquired by FSA Farm Loan Programs ITLAP loans shall be deemed to constitute the value of that land and (2) satisfies the requirement for an appraisal of that land when a Tribe applies for a write-down based on rental value.  Prior to the passage of the NATCA, the value of land that is collateral for an ITLAP loan that is the subject of an application for a write-down was determined by a market value rent study of market rents for land in the subject lands general area.  This requirement reduced the incentive for borrowers who apply for a write-down of the ITLAP loan to manipulate the value of their loan collateral by mismanagement of that land, or otherwise fail to collect a level of rent that reflects the local market.  Value was determined by an independent professional source based on the amount that land in the same area and of the same type could be leased.  The NATCA removes this requirement.  Write-down amounts will be based on the dollar amount the land is rented for, not the amount of rent for which it could be leased.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will implement sections 9003 and 9004 of the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act of 2007 (FY 2007 Emergency Supplemental), which provide funds and establishes limitations for the use of those funds for the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP).  The on-going ECP will utilize $16 million of appropriated funds to make payments to eligible producers.  The payments will be limited to producers who suffered losses in disaster counties January 1, 2005, and February 28, 2007.  The regulatory change is the requirement to limit the eligibility based on the existing Adjusted Gross Income Limitation specified in subpart G of 7 CFR part 1400 and 7 U.S.C. 1308-3a (section 1604 of the 2002 Farm Bill).  The AGI limitation will apply to the eligibility for distribution of this $16 million provided for the ECP and not to the rest of the ECP program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 9006 of the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act of 2007 (FY 2007 Emergency Supplemental), amends the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 by extending the authority through September 30, 2007.  As a result, we need to change the percentage used to calculate the payment rate for the month of September 2007 from 0 percent to 34 percent.  Generally all other program provisions remain the same.  This amendment will make the calculation percentage consistent with the calculation percentage for all other months in fiscal years 2006 and 2007.  The program is due to expire September 30, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Basic Provisions and crop provisions for the Common Crop Insurance Policy are published in 7 CFR part 457.  The Income Protection (IP) plan of insurance is a pilot program.  The Crop Revenue Coverage (CRC) and the Revenue Assurance (RA) plans of insurance programs were approved by the FCIC Board of Directors under 508(h) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act.  IP, CRC, and RA are revenue products and have many duplicate features between them and the Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic Provisions and applicable crop provisions.  Therefore, IP, CRC, and RA will be combined into the Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic Provisions and small grains, cotton, coarse grains, malting barley, rice, canola, and rapeseed crop provisions.
Additional revisions will also be made to the Basic Provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Risk Management Agency is proposing to revise the Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic Provisions to specify that, in the event of a natural disaster that impact crops and programs of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and where there has been a Presidential Disaster Declaration, the Secretary of Agriculture may determine that certain variances or waivers in policy and procedure requirements are necessary to protect the interests of policyholders.  This would allow the Risk Management Agency to provide relief in the underwriting of crop protection and the adjudication of claims or when the impacts of natural disasters cause unnecessary delays in providing crop insurance protection or processing claims.  It is not intended to provide insurance coverage where it would not be otherwise authorized or provide indemnity payments greater than what is authorized under the policy.  The purpose would be to expedite the process of policyholders receiving their indemnities at a time when they are most at need.]]></ABSTRACT>

A final rule was published on January 22, 2004 [69 FR 2999], adding section 1951.133 that provides any amounts paid by the Agency on account of the liabilities of guaranteed loan borrower constitute a Federal debt owing to the agency by the guaranteed loan borrower for purposes of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (31 U.S.C. 3716) (DCIA), to collect the debt.  This proposed rulemaking will have the effect of making the DCIA remedies available to the Agency for pursuing collection against third-party guarantors as well.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency published an interim rule on June 8, 2004 [69 FR 32200], to implement the provisions of section 6029 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act, which authorizes the Rural Business Investment Program.  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 Rural Business-Cooperative Service has contracted with the Small Business Administration.  An Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published on March 29, 2007 [72 FR 14712], seeking public comments regarding the possibility of operating the Rural Business Investment Program to provide for non-leveraged rural business investment companies.  All comments will be addressed in the final rule when published.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6013 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 adds other renewable energy systems as an eligible loan purpose.  Section 6017 expands eligibility criteria for loans to cooperatives and loan guarantees in non-rural areas under certain conditions and expands eligibility and relaxes financial reporting requirements for the B&I Cooperative Stock Purchase Program.  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>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Agencys benefit cost analysis indicates that the benefits derived from the rule are reduced paper work and risk of loss to the Government. The benefit cost analysis estimates that the consolidation and streamlining program delivery will reduce paperwork costs by 30 percent for a savings of $1.3 million for lenders and borrowers. The Government will benefit from reduced losses resulting from improved program management and there could be some modest administrative cost savings.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The proposed rule would reduce project risk by implementing new requirements for determining minimum project eligibility, including certain debt coverage and loan to value ratio requirements. 

The proposed rule would reduce institutional risk by establishing criteria for approved and preferred lenders. With more stringent eligibility requirements, including specific experience requirements, the agency expects to benefit from preferred lenders seeking guarantees on higher quality loans.

The proposed rule would reduce agency risk exposure by allowing approved lenders to submit a low documentation application, if the borrower meets increased financial requirements for debt coverage and loan to value ratios and has a credit score comparable to private commercial lending practices. The maximum loan guarantee will be reduced by 10 percent when approved lenders submit low documentation applications under $5 million.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Utilities Service, an agency delivering the United States Department of Agricultures (USDA) Rural Development Utilities Programs, hereinafter referred to as Rural Development and/or the Agency, proposes to amend its regulations on lien accommodations and subordinations.  The rule proposes to remove the procedures where, case-by-case, the Agency approval of the issuance of additional secured debt is required and establish those procedures: Eligible financing purposes, decision factors for granting lien accommodations, application content and timeframe, in an agency guide bulletin.  This proposed rule will focus on lien accommodation policies and establish a more user-friendly regulation for lien accommodation and subordination for 100 percent private financing.  The Agency proposes this clarification of the rule and update to the existing lien accommodation and subordination regulations in its ongoing effort to maintain current program rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[There has been more than $1.1 billion in loans for broadband deployment with more than 1,000 rural communities that will receive broadband services.  Even with this level of success, the program needs to be adjusted to better serve unserved or underserved communities.  In response, we are revising the broadband rule to address this and other critical issues, and further facilitate the deployment of broadband service in rural America as directed by Congress by: (1) Clearly defining served, underserved markets based on service availability and existing competitors and target unserved an underserved areas; (2) Providing potential applicants with a clear definition of which communities are eligible for funding; (3) Establishing a minimum data transmission rate that the facilities financed must be able to deliver to the consumer; (4) Establishing equity requirements that mitigate risks; (5) Modifying market survey requirements based on service territories and existing availability of service; and (6) Imposing new time limits for build-out and deployment to ensure prudent use of loan funds and timely delivery services to rural customers.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Since the Broadband Loan Programs inception, the Agency has faced and continues to face significant challenges in administering the program, including the fierce competitive nature of the broadband market, the fact that many companies proposing to offer broadband service are start-up organizations with limited resources, continually evolving technology, and economic factors such as the higher cost of serving rural communities.  Because of these challenges, the Agency has been reviewing the characteristics of the Broadband Loan Program and has determined that modifications are required to accelerate the deployment of broadband service to the rural areas of the country.

The Broadband Loan Program is important to the revitalization of our rural communities and their economies.  A lack of private capital has been cited as a reason for slow broadband deployment.  However, an adequate supply of investment capital alone may not be sufficient to universally deploy broadband facilities in rural Americaprimarily due to the high cost of deployment outside of more densely populated areas.  Due to market uncertainties and risks associated with startup ventures, non-federal sources of funding are restricting and raising the cost of capital, particularly in costly rural markets.  Better access to low cost capital is a primary initiative of this program in facilitating as increase in the rate of rural broadband deployment.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[On May 13, 2002, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, Public Law 107-171 ("Farm Bill") was signed into law.  Title VI of the Farm Bill authorized the Agency to approve loans and loan guarantees for the costs of construction, improvement, and acquisition of facilities and equipment for broadband service in eligible rural communities.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The program costs associated with lending activity are relatively low.  The average subsidy rate since the programs inception is 2.4 percent, or $24,000 in appropriated budget authority for every $1 million in loans.  The residents and businesses of rural communities are the beneficiaries.  Rural Development is responsible for helping rural America transition from an agricultural base economy to a platform for new business and economic opportunity.  Rural Development seeks to leverage its financial resources with private investment to facilitate the development of the changing rural economy.  The Broadband Loan Program provides rural America with the platform on which to achieve these goals.  With access to the same advanced telecommunications networks as its urban counterparts, especially broadband networks designed to accommodate distance learning, telework and telemedicine, rural America will eventually see improving educational opportunities, health care, economies, safety and security, and ultimately higher employment.  The Agency shares the assessment of Congress, state and local officials, industry representatives, and rural residents that broadband service is a critical component to the future of rural America.  The Agency is committed to ensuring that rural America will have access to affordable, reliable, broadband services, and to provide a healthy, safe and prosperous place to live and work.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Building broadband infrastructure in sparsely populated rural communities is very capital intensive.  The Broadband Loan Program continues to face risk factors that pose challenges in ensuring that proposed projects can and do deliver robust, affordable broadband services to rural consumers.  These factors include the sometimes competitive nature of the broadband market, the fact that many companies proposing to offer broadband service are start-up organizations with limited resources, rapidly evolving technology, and economic factors such as the higher cost of serving rural communities.  While many of the smallest rural communities understand the importance of broadband infrastructure to their economic development, they often have difficulty attracting service providers to their communities.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Utilities Service, an agency delivering the United States Department of Agricultures Rural Development Utilities Programs, hereinafter referred to as Rural Development, proposes to amend its regulation on accounting policies and procedures for Rural Development  Electric Programs borrowers as set forth in 7 CFR part 1767, Accounting Requirements for Rural Development  Electric Program Borrowers.  This proposed rule seeks to reconcile part 1767 with the Uniform System of Accounts as set forth by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC); to adopt FERC accounting guidance for Regional Transmission Organizations, Asset Retirement Obligations with modifications, Other Comprehensive Income, and Derivatives and Hedging Instruments; to amend accounting interpretations for Special Equipment Accounting, Storm Damage, Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program and Consolidated Financial Statements; to set forth accounting interpretations that establish uniform reporting procedures for Accounting for Cushion of Credit Accounts and Renewable Energy Credits, and to codify guidance on records retention currently published in Bulletin 180-2.  This proposed rule also seeks to correct a number of administrative errors currently existing within this part.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 Agency is consolidating, simplifying, and updating Agency standards for planning and developing sites and buildings to bring them in line with contemporary industry standards.  This regulation will contain the policies and procedures for planning and developing sites and buildings proposed for RHS financial assistance.  This effort will produce a user-friendly tool to help program constituents, rural communities, and Agency personnel.  

The consolidation effort will also bring the requirements of these two regulations in line with the Agency's Single Family Housing, Multi-Family Housing, Community Programs, Water and Waste, and Business and Industry regulations and handbooks.  This action will have no financial impact on the public or Agency.  These consolidations and technical revisions are in the best interest of the Government and public.  This is a positive and needed action in Rural Development program delivery and will add value to the access and delivery of the Agency's programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Multi-Family Housing (MFH) Reinvention</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency has consolidated and streamlined the 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 have been 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 also provides flexibility for program modifications to reflect current and foreseeable changes. The consolidated regulations save time and simplify costs.  Finally, the regulation is more customer friendly and responsive to the needs of the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Direct Single-Family Housing Loans and Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1996, a new payment assistance formula was implemented to provide assistance to housing customers to make home ownership affordable through the section 502 Direct Loan Program.  No analysis has been conducted on the formula and its actual impacts since the change was implemented.  Anecdotal information reveals that the formula may result in disparate treatment for some customers, especially those in the more rural counties.  In addition, the formula is complex and difficult to explain to customers and partners.  USDA has contracted for a study of the formula to determine the extent of disparate or unintended borrower treatments/consequences of the existing formula and develop more equitable and simplified alternatives to provide payment assistance to our customers without increasing the cost of the program to the Government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program--Change Annual Guarantee Fee Due Date</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Rural Development administers the section 538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program (GRRHP) under the authority of the Housing Act of 1949.  Under the GRRHP, Housing and Community Facilities Programs guarantees loans for the development of housing and related facilities for low- or moderate-income families in rural areas.  

The final rule amends 7 CFR part 3565, subpart B, to change the language in 3565.53 (b), to change the due date of the annual guarantee fee. 

The annual guarantee fee is a non-refundable amount that the lender must pay each year that the loan guarantee remains in effect.  Currently, the Finance Office in St. Louis calculates annual guarantee fees manually since the borrower submissions of December 31 year-end financial information are not loaded into their automated systems by January 1, when annual guarantee fees are due.  The Finance Office has requested that the annual guarantee fee due date is changed from January 1 to February 28 to allow their automated systems to be uploaded with December 31 year-end information thus enabling them to automate the annual guarantee fee calculation process.  Rural Development expects this revision will have no economic impact on the lender, the developer, and the project.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current Agency procedure, section 1924.6 (a)(3)(i)(A), requires that surety be provided when the construction contract exceeds $100,000. This Procedure Notice changes the surety requirements in 1924-A [section 1924.6 (a)(3)(i)(A)] from a $100,000 contract amount to the Rural Development Single-Family Housing area lending limits, which will vary with the locality. This will liberalize the requirement for surety and take into account the increase in construction cost of single-family homes in the Rural Developments Single-Family Housing Program since the last revision (1980) to this section of the regulation.  This should ease the burden on small contractors for whom obtaining surety is difficult and expensive, additionally reducing costs to our single-family housing borrowers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Section 538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program (GRRHP)--Debt Collection Improvement Act </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Debt Collection Act of 1982 (Act) (Pub. L. 97-365) provides for the use of administrative, salary and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offsets by Government Agencies to collect delinquent Federal debts. Any money that is or may become payable from the United States to an individual or entity indebted to the GRRHP may be offset for the collection of a debt owed to the GRRHP. In addition, money may be collected from the debtors retirement payments for delinquent amounts owed to the GRRHP if the debtor is an employee or retiree of a Federal Agency, the U.S. Postal Service, the Postal Rate Commission, or a member of the U.S. Armed Forces. 

The current regulation published for the GRRHP in title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations does not discuss at what point a debt to the Federal Government is established for purposes of the remedies available under the DCIA; this rulemaking will expressly provide that the debt is created at the time the loss claim is paid to the guaranteed lender. 

This rule will be consistent with the Act and will clarify that, in cases of guaranteed loans, a Federal debt is established when a guaranteed loss claim is paid. The loss claim paid may or may not be a final loss claim for purposes of this rule. Accordingly, if several claims are paid over time, separate debts are created accordingly. The GRRHP will exercise all remedies available for collection, including those provided by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will address insurance deductible requirements to industry standards making it easier for new homeowners to secure affordable insurance coverage.  This change is needed because of the increase in insurance deductibles requirements imposed by the insurance industry in response to the damages from high winds and water as well as recent hurricanes and tornados.

This rule will also address the rural area definition to update the effective date of census data collected from 2000 to 2010.  This data is used to determine the population of metropolitan statistical areas.  In addition the regulation will increase the applicant net asset limitation from $7,500 to $15,000 for non-elderly families and from $10,000 to $20,000 for elderly families.  This limitation imposes requirements for applicants to contribute a down payment when their net assets exceed said limits.  These limits have not been updated in over 10 years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency intends to revise the definitions of new and existing dwellings to remove the reference to a 10-year warranty plan; remove dollar limits and use 1 percent of insurance coverage on loss deductible clauses with the objective of recognizing the increasing cost of home ownership insurance due to higher cost of home purchase; and require homeowner education for new home buyers.

This package has been separated into two rules.  All revisions, except the homeowner education requirements, were published as a direct final rule on February 8, 2005 [70 FR 6551].  The Agency developed a proposed rule to implement the homeowner education requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would establish a new category in the regulations governing the importation of nursery stock, also known as plants for planting. This category would list taxa of plants for planting whose importation is not authorized pending risk assessment. We would allow foreign governments to request that a pest risk assessment be conducted for a taxon whose importation is not authorized pending risk evaluation. After the pest risk assessment was completed, we would conduct rulemaking to remove the taxon from the proposed category if determined appropriate by the risk assessment. We are also proposing to expand the scope of the plants regulated in the plants for planting regulations to include non-vascular plants. These changes would allow us to react more quickly to evidence that a taxon of plants for planting may pose a pest risk while ensuring that our actions are based on scientific evidence.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[APHIS typically relies on inspection at a Federal plant inspection station or port of entry to mitigate the risks of pest introduction associated with the importation of plants for planting. Importation of plants for planting is further restricted or prohibited only if there is specific evidence that such importation could introduce a quarantine pest into the United States. Most of the taxa of plants for planting currently being imported have not been thoroughly studied to determine whether their importation presents a risk of introducing a quarantine pest into the United States. The volume and the number of types of plants for planting have increased dramatically in recent years, and there are several problems associated with gathering data on what plants for planting are being imported and on the risks such importation presents. In addition, quarantine pests that enter the United States via the importation of plants for planting pose a particularly high risk of becoming established within the United States. The current regulations need to be amended to better address these risks.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Secretary of Agriculture may prohibit or restrict the importation or entry of any plant if the Secretary determines that the prohibition or restriction is necessary to prevent the introduction into the United States of a plant pest or noxious weed (7 USC 7712).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[APHIS has identified one alternative to the approach we are considering. We could prohibit the importation of all nursery stock pending risk evaluation, approval, and notice-and-comment rulemaking, similar to APHIS's approach to regulating imported fruits and vegetables. This approach would lead to a major interruption in international trade and would have significant economic effects on both U.S. importers and U.S. consumers of plants for planting.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimum Age Requirements for the Transport of Animals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Animal Welfare Act regulations by adding minimum age and weaning requirements for the transport in commerce of exotic and wild animals. The regulations currently contain such requirements for dogs and cats, but no corresponding ones for exotic and wild animals, despite the risks associated with the early transport of these species. The rule would also provide an exemption to allow animals to be transported without their mothers for medical treatment and for scientific research before reaching the minimum age and weaning requirement, provided certain conditions are met. Establishing minimum age requirements for the transport of exotic and wild animals and providing for the transport of animals that have not met the minimum age requirements are necessary to help ensure the humane treatment of these animals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS is considering changes to its regulations regarding the importation, interstate movement, and environmental release of genetically engineered organisms. We are seeking public comment on the regulatory alternatives we have identified through scoping and on the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) we have prepared relative to those alternatives. This notice reflects the Agency's current thinking on policy and program design issues affecting our biotechnology programs. The DEIS evaluates the alternatives we have identified so far in terms of their potential effects on the human environment compared to our current regulatory program.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[APHIS currently regulates the introduction (movement into the United States or interstate, or release into the environment) of genetically engineered organisms that may present a plant pest risk under 7 CFR part 340, "Introduction of Organisms and Products Altered or Produced Through Genetic Engineering Which Are Plant Pests or Which There Is Reason to Believe Are Plant Pests." APHIS is evaluating its regulatory program to determine if there is a need to revise its regulations in light of our current knowledge and experience and advances in science and technology.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The primary authority is provided by the Plant Protection Act, which authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to prohibit or restrict the importation, entry, and movement in interstate commerce any plant, plant product, biological control organism, noxious weed, or other article if necessary to prevent the introduction into or dissemination within the United States of any plant pest or noxious weed. Such articles may include genetically engineered products.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[A draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) prepared for this action evaluates all of the regulatory alternatives under consideration by the Agency. Some key alternatives considered include whether APHIS should broaden the scope of the regulations to reflect its authority over noxious weeds and biological control organisms; whether and how to revise the regulations to make the Agencys use of risk-based categorieswhere genetically engineered organisms are classified according to risk and familiarity so that oversight and confinement vary by categorymore refined, more explicit and more transparent to the industry and the public and what criteria should be used to establish risk-based categories; how to manage genetically engineered organisms that present only minor unresolved risks that can be mitigated effectively, and what factors should be considered in establishing appropriate mitigations; whether new or additional regulatory mechanisms are needed to ensure that genetically engineered organisms producing pharmaceutical or industrial compounds are subject to requirements and oversight commensurate with the potential risks; for organisms that might be commercialized but that do not meet the criteria for deregulation, whether a new type of permitting system would be more appropriate in terms of efficiency and effectiveness than the current system; whether APHIS should establish a new regulatory approach to address incidents of low-level presence of genetically engineered plant material; whether APHIS should establish a new regulatory mechanism to allow for imports of commodities for nonpropagative use, that is, for food, feed, or processing, in cases where these commodities might not have been deregulated in the United States; and whether to expand its current exemption from interstate movement restrictions additional well-studied, low-risk, genetically engineered research organisms.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[To be determined.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[While APHIS has always used a risk-based approach in regulating genetically engineered organisms, there is a trend toward more highly varied organisms. For example, genetic engineering technology has advanced to the point where organisms can be developed that produce novel proteins and other substances with biological activity or industrial utility. We have initiated this rulemaking because APHIS recognizes that the regulatory process may need greater flexibility and rigor to more appropriately regulate the increasing variety of organisms.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Animal Welfare; Climatic and Environmental Conditions for Transportation of Warmblooded Animals Other Than Marine Mammals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Animal Welfare Act regulations regarding transportation of live animals other than marine mammals by removing the current ambient temperature requirements for various stages in the transportation of those animals. The action would replace those requirements with a single performance standard under which the animals would be transported under climatic and environmental conditions that are appropriate for their welfare. The regulations currently require that ambient temperatures be maintained within certain ranges during transportation, but animals may be transported at ambient temperatures below the minimum temperatures if their consignor provides a certificate signed by a veterinarian certifying that the animals are acclimated to temperatures lower than the minimum temperature. This proposal would make acclimation certificates for live animals other than marine mammals unnecessary. This proposal replaces a previously published proposed rule, which we are withdrawing as part of this document, that would have required that the acclimation certificate for a dog or cat be signed by the owner of the dog or cat being transported rather than by a veterinarian. This proposal does not address marine mammals due to their unique requirements for care and handling. We believe that establishing a single performance standard would ensure that warmblooded animals other than marine mammals are transported in climatic and environmental conditions that are not detrimental to their welfare while allowing for variations in climatic and environmental conditions that are suitable for individual animals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tuberculosis in Cattle; Import Requirements for Roping Steers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the animal importation regulations to require that steers and spayed heifers with more than 3 inches of horn growth that are entering the United States from Mexico meet more stringent tuberculosis testing requirements than those with 3 inches or less. In their current form, the regulations do not distinguish between steers and spayed heifers imported strictly as feeders and those with sufficient horn growth to enable them to be used as rodeo cattle. Steers and spayed heifers used as rodeo cattle are often maintained longer than feeder cattle and generally come into contact with other cattle in more locations than do steers and spayed heifers imported for feeding purposes. The longer the lifespan of an animal, the greater the chances are that, if exposed to tuberculosis, it will contract the disease, develop generalized disease, and spread it to other animals. The risk of tuberculosis spread is also increased by the number of animals that are exposed to a tuberculosis-infected animal. We believe the risks of tuberculosis transmission associated with rodeo cattle justify requiring more rigorous tuberculosis testing for such animals than for those imported as feeders. This rulemaking is intended to reduce the risk of imported cattle transmitting tuberculosis to domestic livestock in the United States. This rulemaking replaces a previously published proposed rule, which we are withdrawing as part of this document, that would have required that steers and spayed heifers with any evidence of horn growth that are entering the United States meet the same tuberculosis testing requirements as sexually intact animals entering the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consolidation of the Fruit Fly Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would consolidate our domestic regulations regarding exotic fruit flies. Currently, these regulations are contained in six separate subparts, each of which covers a different species of fruit fly, and each of these subparts has parallel sections that are substantially the same as the corresponding sections in the other subparts. Therefore, we are proposing to combine these six subparts into a single subpart. We are also proposing to modify the regulations by adding a mechanism through which quarantined areas can be removed from the regulations as quickly as they are added. These proposed changes would eliminate duplication and enhance the flexibility of the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the Phytophthora ramorum regulations to make the regulations consistent with a Federal Order issued by APHIS in December 2004 that established restrictions on the interstate movement of nursery stock from nurseries in nonquarantined counties in California, Oregon, and Washington. This action will also update conditions for the movement of regulated articles of nursery stock from quarantined areas, as well as restrict the interstate movement of all other nursery stock from nurseries in quarantined areas. We are also updating the list of plants regulated because of P. ramorum and the list of areas that are quarantined for P. ramorum and making other miscellaneous revisions to the regulations. These actions are necessary to prevent the spread of P. ramorum to noninfested areas of the United States. We will continue to update the regulations through additional rulemakings as new scientific information on this pathogen becomes available.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interstate Movement of Sheep and Goats; Approved Livestock Facilities, Identification, and Recordkeeping Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the regulations regarding the interstate movement of animals to require livestock facilities that handle sheep or goats in interstate commerce to be approved by APHIS. These will include stockyards, livestock markets, buying stations, concentration points, or any other premises where sheep or goats in interstate commerce are assembled. APHIS' approval will be contingent on the facility operator meeting certain minimum standards and other conditions relating to the receipt, handling, and release of sheep and goats at the facility, as well as complying with certain animal identification and recordkeeping requirements. The standards and other conditions will be based, in part, on recently implemented regulations relating to the interstate movement of sheep and goats in order to control the spread of scrapie, a serious disease of sheep and goats. This rule will provide for the establishment of standards for the approval of livestock facilities that handle sheep or goats in interstate commerce.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action establishes a voluntary Trichinae Certification Program for U.S. pork that has been produced under disease-prevention conditions. Under the program, we will certify pork production sites that follow prescribed good production practices that reduce, eliminate, or avoid the risk of exposure of animals to the zoonotic parasite Trichinella spiralis, a disease of swine. Such a program should enhance the ability of producers to export pork and pork products to overseas markets. This program, which will be funded by program fees, has been developed as a cooperative effort by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Pork Board, and the pork processing industry. If adopted, this program will include those producers who choose to participate in the program, as well as slaughter facilities and other persons that handle or process swine from pork production sites that have been certified under the program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; Minimal-Risk Regions and Importation of Commodities; Unsealing of Means of Conveyance and Transloading of Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a final rule published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2005, we amended the regulations regarding the importation of animals and animal products to establish a category of regions that present a minimal risk of introducing bovine spongiform encephalopathy into the United States via live ruminants and ruminant products and byproducts, and added Canada to this category. We also established conditions for the importation of certain live ruminants and ruminant products and byproducts from such regions. This rule amends the regulations to broaden who is authorized to break seals on means of conveyances carrying certain ruminants of Canadian origin. Additionally, it amends the regulations regarding the transiting through the United States of certain ruminant products from Canada to allow for direct transloading of the products from one means of conveyance to another in the United States under Federal supervision. These actions will contribute to the humane treatment of ruminants shipped to the United States from Canada and remove an impediment to international trade, without increasing the risk of the BSE disease agent entering the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza; Voluntary Control Program and Payment of Indemnity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action amends the regulations to establish a voluntary program for the control of the H5/H7 subtypes of low pathogenic avian influenza in commercial poultry under the auspices of the National Poultry Improvement Plan (the Plan). The control program was voted on and approved by the voting delegates at the Plan's 2004 National Plan Conference. This action also provides for the payment of indemnity for costs associated with eradication of the H5/H7 subtypes of low pathogenic avian influenza in both breeding and commercial poultry. The H5/H7 subtypes of low pathogenic avian influenza can mutate into highly pathogenic avian influenza, a disease that can have serious economic and public health consequences. This combination of a control program and indemnity provisions is necessary to help ensure that the H5/H7 subtypes of low pathogenic avian influenza are detected and eradicated when they occur within U.S. commercial poultry production.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking establishes standards for the approval of permanent, privately owned quarantine facilities for horses. We are taking this action because demand for quarantine services for horses exceeds the space available at existing facilities. We believe that allowing imported horses to be quarantined in permanent, privately owned quarantine facilities that meet these newly proposed criteria facilitates the importation of horses while continuing to protect against the introduction of communicable diseases of horses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Agricultural Inspection and AQI User Fees Along the U.S./Canada Border</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the foreign quarantine and user fee regulations by removing the exemptions from inspection for fruits and vegetables grown in Canada and the exemptions from user fees for commercial vessels, commercial trucks, commercial railroad cars, commercial aircraft, and international air passengers entering the United States from Canada. As a result of this action, all agricultural products imported from Canada will be subject to inspection, and commercial conveyances, as well as airline passengers arriving on flights from Canada, will be subject to inspection and user fees. We are taking this action in part because we are not recovering the costs of our current inspection activities at the U.S./Canada border. In addition, our data show an increasing number of interceptions on the U.S./Canada border of prohibited material that originated in regions other than Canada that presents a high risk of introducing plant pests or animal diseases into the United States. These findings, combined with additional Canadian airport preclearance data on interceptions of ineligible agricultural products approaching the U.S. border from Canada, strongly indicate that we need to expand and strengthen our pest exclusion and smuggling interdiction efforts at that border. In order to do this and to recover the costs of our existing inspection activity, we need to collect user fees from commercial conveyances and international air passengers entering the United States from Canada.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations to relieve restrictions that currently require citrus producers to ensure that citrus groves in the State of Florida are certified to be free of citrus canker prior to interstate movement of citrus fruit. This action also requires that all inspection of fruit for symptoms of citrus canker as well as treatments and packaging of citrus fruit to be moved interstate occur in packinghouses that operate under a compliance agreement with APHIS. This action allows the interstate movement of fresh citrus fruit from Florida, provided the fruit does not exhibit symptoms of citrus canker and is handled in accordance with the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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[The U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates the humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of certain marine mammals under the Animal Welfare Act. The present standards for these animals have been in effect since 1979, and amended in 1984. During this time, advances have been made and new information has been developed with regard to the housing and care of marine mammals. This rulemaking addresses marine mammal standards on which consensus was not reached during negotiated rulemaking conducted between September 1995 and July 1996. These include 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the regulations for importing coffee in order to allow dried, unroasted coffee to be moved into the State of Hawaii and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico under certain conditions. All dried, unroasted coffee, as a condition of entry, would have to be inspected and treated, either in its country of export or at a port in the continental United States, before it could be moved into Hawaii or Puerto Rico. This action would relieve restrictions on the importation of dried, unroasted coffee while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of plant pests into Hawaii and Puerto Rico.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the citrus canker regulations to list the entire State of Florida as a quarantined area for citrus canker and to amend the requirements for the movement of regulated articles from Florida now that the eradication of citrus canker in Florida is no longer being carried out as an objective. It will also amend the regulations to allow regulated articles that would not otherwise be eligible for interstate movement to be moved to a port for immediate export. These changes are necessary in light of the Departments determination that the established eradication program was no longer a scientifically feasible option to address citrus canker.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>User Fees; Export Certification for Plants and Plant Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the user fee regulations by adjusting the fees charged for export certification of plants and plant products. The rule would increase these user fees to reflect the anticipated costs associated with providing these services. It would also add a new user fee for Federal export certificates for plants and plant products that an exporter obtains from a State or county cooperator in order to recover administrative costs associated with that service. Finally, it would make several nonsubstantive changes to the regulations for clarity. These changes would enable us to properly recover the costs of providing export certification services for plants and plant products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Fruits and Vegetables Import Regulations 
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will revise and reorganize the regulations pertaining to the importation of fruits and vegetables to consolidate requirements of general applicability and eliminate redundant requirements, update terms and remove outdated requirements and references, update the regulations that apply to importations into territories under U.S. administration, and make various editorial and nonsubstantive changes to regulations to make them easier to use. The rule will also make substantive changes to the regulations, including: Establishing criteria that, if met, will allow us to approve certain new fruits and vegetables for importation into the United States and to acknowledge pest-free areas in foreign countries more effectively and expeditiously and doing away with the practice of listing in the regulations specific commodities that may be imported subject to certain types of phytosanitary measures. These changes are intended to simplify and expedite our processes for approving certain new imports and pest-free areas while continuing to allow for full public participation in the processes. This rule revises the structure of the fruits and vegetables import regulations and establishes a new process for approving certain new commodities for importation into the United States. It does not, however, allow the importation of any specific new fruits or vegetables, nor does it alter the conditions for importing currently approved fruits or vegetables except as specifically described in this document. To the extent that our trading partners consider the length of time it takes to conduct the rulemaking process a trade barrier, these changes may facilitate the export of U.S. agricultural commodities by reducing that time for fruits and vegetables that meet this rule's criteria. The changes do not alter the manner in which the risk associated with a commodity import request is evaluated, nor do they alter the manner in which those risks are ultimately mitigated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the cut flowers regulations to establish specific requirements for the importation of cut flowers that are hosts of chrysanthemum white rust (CWR) from countries where the disease is known to occur. We are also amending the nursery stock regulations to update lists of countries where CWR is known to occur. We are making these changes in order to make our cut flowers and nursery stock regulations consistent. This action is necessary because of numerous recent findings of CWR on cut flowers from Europe that pose a risk of introducing CWR in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

As a condition of entry, the mangoes will have to undergo irradiation treatment and be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with additional declarations providing specific information regarding the treatment and inspection of the mangoes and the orchards in which they were grown. In addition, the mangoes will be subject to inspection at the port of first arrival.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act regulations to specify the actions to be taken by veterinary biologics licensees and permittees upon receipt of notice from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to stop the preparation, distribution, sale, barter, exchange, shipment, or importation of any worthless, contaminated, dangerous, harmful, or unsatisfactory veterinary biological product. After receiving notice from APHIS, licensees and permittees must notify each wholesaler, dealer, jobber, consignee, or other recipient known to have any such product in their possession to stop the preparation, distribution, sale, barter, exchange, shipment, or importation of such product. In addition, licensees and permittees must provide a complete accounting of the remaining inventory of affected serials or subserials of such product in the current possession of known wholesalers, dealers, jobbers, consignees, or other known recipients and provide written documentation concerning the required notification(s) as directed by the Administrator of APHIS. These changes are necessary in order to clarify the regulations, provide for the most expeditious means of disseminating stop distribution and sale notices, and to mitigate the risk that any worthless, contaminated, dangerous, harmful, or unsatisfactory veterinary biological product may cause harm to animals, the public health, or to the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are adopting as a final rule, with several changes, an interim rule that, among other things, amended the regulations to allow for the use of additional numbering systems for purposes of animal and premises identification. As amended by this document, the rule recognizes additional numbering systems for the identification of animals in interstate commerce and State/Tribe/Federal/industry cooperative disease control and eradication programs. Additionally, the rule amends the regulations to authorize the use of a numbering system to identify premises where animals are managed or held. These regulatory changes are necessary to allow the use, for official purposes, of the new numbering systems in the National Animal Identification System. Use of the new numbering systems is not required by this final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Nursery Stock</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the regulations on importing nursery stock to eliminate various restrictions on the importation of kenaf seed; to establish programs for the importation of approved plants from the Canary Islands and from Israel; to require an additional declaration on the phytosanitary certificate accompanying blueberry plants imported from Canada; to require that phytosanitary certificates include the genus names of the restricted articles they accompany and the species names when restrictions apply to species within a genus; to change the phytosanitary certificate requirements for several restricted articles; to reduce the postentry quarantine growing period for Hydrangea spp.; and to update the list of ports of entry and Federal plant inspection stations. We are also making several other changes to update and clarify the regulations and improve their effectiveness. These changes are necessary to relieve restrictions that appear unnecessary, update existing provisions, and make the regulations easier to understand and implement.]]></ABSTRACT>

We are amending the grade limits for broken kernels and foreign material (BNFM), and the subfactor foreign material (FM).  Additionally, we are inserting a total count limit for other material into the standards and revising the method of certifying test weight.  Further, we are changing the inspection plan tolerances for BNFM and FM.  These changes will help facilitate the marketing of sorghum.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clear Title Program; Technical Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA is adopting as a final rule, with change, an interim rule that amended Clear Title regulations to allow States to use an approved unique identifier as an alternative to a social security number or taxpayer identification number in their systems providing clear title information.  The change to the interim rule meets the express statutory requirement that an approved unique identifier be numerically organized on master lists.  We are making additional changes to the clear title regulations as required by the amendments made by the 2002 Farm Bill.  The primary effect of these changes will be to protect the identity of the producers of farm products.  Secondary effects of the technical changes will be to improve the operation of the program and provide the States with more flexibility.]]></ABSTRACT>

Also, we amended the regulations under the United States Grain Standards Act to establish performance tolerances for protein analyzers used to predict the percentage of protein in barley.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service (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 to establish production and handling standards for operations that capture aquatic animals from the wild.  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. Also, 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 propose 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.]]></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>National Organic Program: Dairy Replacement Animals (Livestock) (TM-07-03)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the National Organic Program regulations to clarify the regulations.  This rule is seeking input on the following issues: (1) Are the current origin of livestock requirements in the NOP regulations adequate for dairy livestock under principles of organic livestock management and production? (2) If the current origin of livestock requirements as described in the NOP regulations are not adequate, how should they be changed? (3) If the regulations should be changed, how much time should be allow for the industry to implement the regulation change?  This action is being taken to ensure that NOP regulations are clear and consistent, stimulate growth of the organic sector, satisfy consumer expectations, and allow organic producers and handlers flexibility in making site-specific, real-time management decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Honey Research and Promotion: Packer/Importer Board (FV-03-704)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Department of Agriculture (Department) received a request from the National Honey Packers and Dealers Association (Association), dated July 8, 2003, to develop an industry-funded research, promotion, consumer education, and information program for honey and honey products. The Association asked that this proposal be held and not sent forward until the industry made some modifications to the proposal. A new proposal was received by the Department in March 2006. This proposed new program, the Honey Research, Promotion, and Consumer Education and Industry Order (Order), will assist the honey industry to: (1) Develop and finance an effective and coordinated program to strengthen the position of the honey industry and (2) maintain, develop, and expand existing markets for honey and honey products.  Under the proposed Order, first handlers (packers) and importers of 250,000 or more pounds of honey and honey products would pay an assessment of $0.01 per pound to the National Honey Packers and Importers Board (Board). At this initial rate, revenue for the program would be approximately $3 million.  Of this amount, about 51 percent would be generated by assessments on imported honey and honey products.  The Board would be appointed by the Department to conduct a program of research and promotion, industry information, and consumer information needed to strengthen and increase the consumption of honey and honey products in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for Condition of Food Containers (FV-05-332)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is proposing to revise regulations pertaining to 7 CFR part 42, Standards for Condition of Food Containers.  Periodically, AMS reviews inspection standards to determine if they meet current industry practices.  Based on our most recent analysis, we believe that the standards need to be revised.  The revisions are necessary in order to provide standards that reflect current U.S. industry practices.  Revisions to the standards include, but are not limited to:  (1) Incorporating new defects and updating current defects for metal, glass, rigid and semi-rigid, and flexible containers; (2) Updating the standards to include new packaging technology such as aseptic packaging, metal cans with easy open lids, plastic rings that hold several containers together; and (3) Removing the Operating Characteristic (OC) curves for on-line sampling and inspection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Organic Program: Access to Pasture (TM-05-14)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Organic Program (NOP) is administered by the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).  Under the NOP, AMS established national standards for the production and handling of organically produced agricultural products.  Since implementation of the NOP, some members of the public have advocated for a more explicit regulatory standard on the relationship between livestock, particularly dairy animals, and grazing land.  They have asserted the current regulatory language on access to pasture for ruminants and temporary confinement based on an animal's stage of production, when applied together, do not provide a uniform requirement for the pasturing of ruminant animals that meet the principles underlying an organic management system for livestock and livestock products that consumers expect.  Comments received as a result of the proposed rule will assist in determining the Agency's next steps in rulemaking on this issue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Farm Bill) (Pub. L. 107-171) and the 2002 Supplemental Appropriations Act (2002 Appropriations) (Pub.

Covered commodities include muscle cuts of beef (including veal), lamb, and pork; ground beef, ground lamb, and ground pork; farm-raised fish and shellfish; wild fish and shellfish; perishable agricultural commodities; and peanuts.  The FY 2004 Consolidated Appropriations bill (2004 Appropriations) (Pub. L. 108-199) delayed implementation of mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) for all covered commodities except wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish until September 30, 2006.

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The October 30, 2004, proposed rule specifically invited comment on several alternatives including alternative definitions for "processed food item," alternative labeling of mixed origin, and alternatives to using "slaughtered" on the label. In addition, the October 5, 2004, interim final rule contained an impact analysis which included an analysis of alternative approaches.  The interim final rule also invited comment on several key issues including the definition of a processed food item.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[USDA has examined the economic impact of the rule as required by Executive Order 12866.  The estimated benefits associated with this rule are likely to be small.  The estimated 1st-year incremental cost for directly affected firms are estimated at $89 million for fish and shellfish only. The estimated cost to the U.S. economy in terms of reduced purchasing power resulting from a loss in productivity after a 10-year period of adjustment are estimated at $6.2 million.  A final cost benefit assessment for the other covered commodities will be completed in the final rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Organic Program: Sunset (Expiration) of Allowances and Prohibitions Contained on the National List (TM-04-07)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is revising regulations pertaining to the use of allowed and prohibited substances contained on the National List.  The Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) (7 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) authorizes the establishment of the National List of allowed and prohibited substances.  The National List identifies synthetic substances that are allowed and nonsynthetic substances that are prohibited in organic crop and livestock production.  The National List also identifies nonsynthetics and synthetics that are allowed for use in organic handling. 

The allowances and prohibitions granted under the OFPA are required to be reviewed every 5 years by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB).  If they are not reviewed by the NOSB and renewed by the Secretary within 5 years of their inclusion on the National List, their authorized use or prohibition expires.

Expiration of the exempted or prohibited use of substances is provided for under the OFPAs sunset provision.  AMS will conduct informal rulemaking to facilitate the sunset review of 165 exempted and 9 prohibited substances currently on the National List.  On June 17, 2005, AMS published an ANPRM that established October 21, 2007, as the date by which the sunset review and renewal process must be concluded.  This ANPRM discussed how the NOP will manage the sunset review and renewal process. The ANPRM also began the public comment process on whether the existing specific exemptions or prohibitions on the National List should be continued for organic production and handling.  The comment period for the ANPRM closed on August 16, 2005.  The NOSB will have approximately 90 days from the close of the comment period to provide a recommendation to AMS concerning the continued use and prohibition of over 150 materials.  AMS expects to publish a proposed rule before the end of this year.]]></ABSTRACT>

This is especially so, given that the information collected on manufactured dairy products is used by the Secretary to establish minimum prices for Class III and Class IV milk under Federal milk marketing orders.  As mandated by the Dairy Market Enhancement Act of 2000 and the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, this rule establishes the Dairy Product Mandatory Reporting Program (DMRP).  Implementation of this program will result in timely, accurate, and reliable market information to facilitate more informed marketing decisions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This program is mandated by the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 as amended by the Dairy Market Enhancement Act of 2000 and the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service is fulfilling a congressional mandate to proceed with rulemaking to establish the DMRP and to implement a plan to verify the price information submitted by various dairy product manufacturing plants.  Several alternatives to this program were initially identified, but were not considered due to the specific language contained in the Dairy Market Enhancement Act of 2000.  These alternatives included: (1) the use of non-mandatory surveys, (2) the use of alternative data sources such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and (3) collecting data less frequently.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Impact on Dairy Farmers.

It is in the industry's best interest that NASS-reported prices be as accurate as possible for calculating milk prices.  Although dairy farmers under the Federal milk marketing order program account for 61 percent (approximately 103 billion pounds of milk in 2004) of U.S. milk production, all U.S. dairy farmers are affected to some degree by the Federal order pricing.

Imprecise price information can be costly. For example, a 1 cent per pound error in the May 2005 cheese price would cause a 9.65 cent per hundredweight error in the Class III price and a 3.76 cent per hundredweight error in the all market uniform or blend price (price paid to dairy farmers).  Multiplying the price error (3.76 cents) times the quantity of milk marketed in Federal milk marketing order system indicates that either producers would have received $4 million less for their milk in the month of May 2005, than they did, or that manufacturers would have paid $4 million more for milk in May 2005, than they did.

Impact on Dairy Manufacturers

The cost  to the dairy manufacturers and cold storage facilities of completing  the survey is assumed to be comparable to the hourly rate of those collecting the data.  Manufacturers must submit products prices 52 times a year and it is estimated that each report takes 20 minutes to complete.  Cold storage facilities must report their inventories 12 times a year and it is estimated that each report takes 30 minutes to complete.  The salary for employees completing the survey is estimated at $22 per hour.  Therefore, the annual cost to a manufacturer reporting product prices is estimated at $381.26 and the annual cost to cold storage facilities completing reports is $132.

Most manufacturers subject to reporting under the Dairy Product Mandatory Reporting Program already report this information to NASS.  Therefore, the incremental cost of implementing the program  will be for those manufacturers who do not already report to NASS.

When the mandatory reporting program is implemented an additional 25 manufacturing plants will be required to submit product price reports.  Therefore, the incremental cost to the industry of implementing the mandatory pricing program is estimated to be $9,531.50.  It is estimated that 110 cold storage facilities meet the mandatory reporting requirements.  Thus, the annual total incremental cost to cold storage facilities is estimated to be $14,520.  The total incremental cost borne by dairy manufacturers and warehouses is approximately $24,000.  With respect to total annual costs, the costs to cold storage facilities completing reports is $132 per facility for a total annual cost of $14,520.  The cost to manufacturers reporting product prices is estimated at $381.26 per plant for a total annual cost of $37,363.  Thus, the total annual cost for submitting information under the mandatory program is $51,883.48.

Impact on Government Costs

Background: In 2005, NASS collected prices information from 98 plants that were submitted on 71 reports from 60 unique locations.  Reports generally are filed via fax with the appropriate State NASS office.  Some reports are sent via fax directly to the NASS headquarters office in Washington, DC.  Some reports are filed via NASS' electronic data reporting (EDR) system.  In all cases, the reports are keyed into NASS' Dairy Product Prices (DPP) system (a SAS) database.  The headquarters NASS staffer who is responsible for the published report, queries the DPP to generate various reports.  Among these reports is the data listing which has individual report information.  For the AMS prices verification program, NASS will generate a report from the data listing matching AMS' requirements.

Assumptions for Incremental Cost Estimates:  As stated in the preliminary cost-benefit analysis, for the first year of all of the 60 reporting entities will be visited and the information contained in each of the 71 reports will be verified for a specific review period.  Sales transaction records for all of the 98 plants will be analyzed.  The review period will be four weeks in the same month, with the selected month varying according to the Verification Plan.  It will take 4 hours to analyze the sales transactions for one week; two full days per plant.  The hourly salary for the verifier is $40 with a 30-percent benefits rate.  The travel cost per location is $100; per diem cost is $75.  In the subsequent years, those reporting locations that account for top 80 percent of the reported volume will be visited each year, as well as one-third of the reporting locations that account for the remaining 20 percent of reported volume.  Reporting locations in the latter category will be visited at least once every three years.  The other assumptions concerning review period, length of time to analyze records, and cost figures apply the same as for the first year.

First Year Incremental Cost Estimate: $102,236
Travel -- $6,000 (60 locations X $100)
Per Diem -- $14,700 (98 plants X 2 days X $75/day)
Salary/Benefits -- $81,536 (98 plants X 16 hours (2 days) X $52/hour)

Second & Subsequent Years Incremental Cost Estimate: $69,594
Travel -- $3,800 (38 locations X $100)
Per Diem -- $10,050 (67 plants X 16 hours (2 days) X $52/hour)
Salary/Benefits -- $55,744 (67 plants X16 hours (2 days) X $52/hour)

Benefits.  The major benefit of mandatory price reporting is to assure accurate price reporting by dairy manufacturers.  The total incremental cost of implementing the program is estimated to be $126,287.50 in the first year and $93,645.50 in subsequent years.  The incremental benefit of the program cannot be quantified; therefore, net benefits cannot be quantified.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[On April 2, 2001, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) implemented the Livestock Mandatory Reporting (LMR) program as required by the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999 (1999 Act).  The statutory authority for the program lapsed on September 30, 2005.  In October 2006, legislation was enacted to reauthorize the 1999 Act until September 30, 2010, and to amend the swine reporting requirements of the 1999 Act (Pub. Law 109-296) (Reauthorization Act.)]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[AMS is fulfilling a Congressional mandate to proceed with rulemaking to reestablish and revise the mandatory reporting regulation for swine, cattle, lamb, and boxed beef.

Other options are to do nothing or to propose regulations for voluntary reporting of market information for swine, cattle, lamb, and boxed beef.  Neither alternative is viable given that the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act was reauthorized to require mandatory reporting of market information by certain livestock processing plants and directs the USDA to promulgate regulations to implement the law.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule facilitates open, transparent price discovery and provides all market participants, both large and small, with comparable levels of market information.  The proposed rule is expected to reduce the time and resources that market participants would otherwise expend to assess current market conditions and reduce risk and uncertainty.  This proposed rule is strictly an informational measure and does not impose any restrictions on the form, timing, or location of procurement and sales arrangements in which subject packers and importers may engage.  Therefore, costs of the proposed rule are simply the costs associated with the system development and maintenance, data submission, and recordkeeping activities of the packers and importers required to report information under this proposed rule, plus costs to the Federal Government for operation of the program.  However, most of the entities that would be required to report under this proposed rule already reported information prior to expiration of the 1999 Act on September 30, 2005, and have since continued to do so voluntarily.  As a result, incremental costs for implementation of this proposed rule are negligible relative to total costs associated with the program.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 21, 2000, the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) established within the National Organic Program (NOP) the National List.  The National List regulations identify synthetic (natural) substances and ingredients that are prohibited for use in organic production and handling.  Under the authority of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA), as amended (7 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.), the National List can be amended by the Secretary based on proposed amendments developed by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB). This action will amend the National List to reflect recommendations submitted to the Secretary by the NOSB from November 15, 2000, through March 3, 2005. Between the specified time period, the NOSB has recommended that the Secretary add 4 substances to section 205.601 and 11 substances to section 205.605 of the National List regulations.  This action will also amend the mailing address for where to file a Certification or Accreditation appeal pursuant to section 205.681(d).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes in Fees and Hourly Fee Rates for Science and Technology Laboratory Services (ST-05-01)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service is changing the hourly fee rates for Science and Technology (S&T) Laboratory Services.  The Agency is raising these rates to reflect, among other factors, national and locality pay increases for Federal employees and inflation, operating costs, instrumentation and training, and program and Agency administrative overhead costs.  In the past, AMS has amended its regulations on an as needed basis in order to recover laboratory program costs.  With this regulation, AMS is providing for three annual standard hourly fee rate increases for fiscal years 2007-2009.  This will provide the agricultural commodity industries and other stakeholders with more timely and relevant information regarding user fees for voluntary laboratory testing services.  The Agency is also removing tables and schedules with listings of individual tests and services.  Three annual hourly fee rate adjustments are established by this action for appeals, holiday, and overtime services to reflect the anticipated increase cost of providing these laboratory services each fiscal year.  The regulations also are updated to identify current facility addresses.  Part 92 is obsolete and therefore has been removed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act: Trust Rights (FV-05-373)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act Branch, has issued a Final Rule in response to concerns raised by the industry that sellers may lose their status as trust creditors when using electronic data interchange (EDI) for invoicing. The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) imposes a statutory trust on the assets, including inventory and receivables of a licensee or firm operating subject to the PACA that have not paid for perishable agricultural commodities. The PACA provides that a creditor may preserve its rights under the trust by including specified language on billing or invoicing statements.  In 1997, the PACA regulations were amended to state that electronic transmissions are considered "ordinary and usual billing and invoicing statements." While perfecting PACA trust rights on paper invoices is fairly straightforward, due to the nature of technology, perfecting trust rights using EDI is not. Sellers who use EDI transmissions to perfect their trust rights perceive a threat that their trust rights may not be preserved.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Product Labeling: Use of the Voluntary Claim Natural on the Labeling of Meat and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) as part of its process to establish the conditions under which the Agency will permit the voluntary claim natural to be used on the labeling of meat and poultry products. After considering comments on the natural claim submitted by the public in response to a Federal Register notice that the Agency issued on December 5, 2006, and the comments presented at a public meeting held by the Agency on December 12, 2006, FSIS has decided to solicit additional public input before it issues a proposed rule on this subject.  The comments submitted to the Agency expressed widely divergent and sometimes conflicting views on what the claim natural as applied to meat and poultry products should mean.  FSIS has concluded that another round of preliminary comments, focused by a defined set of alternatives that address the use of the natural claim on the labels of meat and poultry products, could help to produce consensus that would help to bring about a timely and successful resolution of the issues surrounding natural.  Therefore, the Agency is publishing this ANPRM to solicit more focused comments on the issue. Until the rulemaking process is complete, or FSIS announces that it is implementing an alternative policy, the Agency will permit meat and poultry products whose labeling complies with the conditions described in this document to bear a natural claim.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Egg Products Inspection Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to require egg products plants and establishments that pasteurize shell eggs 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 egg products and pasteurized shell eggs. FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal 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. This proposal will not encompass shell egg packers. In the near future, FSIS will initiate non-regulatory outreach efforts for shell egg packers that will provide information intended to help them to safely process shell eggs intended for human consumption or further processing.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[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 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, 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 on the 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.

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 80 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 alternative.

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.

The preliminary anticipated annualized costs of the proposed action are approximately $7.0 million.  The preliminary anticipated benefits of the proposed action are approximately $90.0 million per year.]]></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.  FSIS has developed new risk assessments for SE in eggs and for Salmonella spp. in liquid egg products to evaluate the risk associated with the regulatory alternatives.]]></RISKS>

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 meat 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 Allergen Labeling for Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has jurisdiction over meat, poultry, and egg products while FDA has jurisdiction over all other food and ingredients, including their labeling.  On August 2, 2004, the President signed into law the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA)(S. 741), which, in part, requires that labels for food products under the jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearly state the presence of any of eight major foods or food groups (i.e., milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy beans) because these foods account for 90 percent of all food allergies.

The Agency recognizes that, in addition to the requirements FSIS has for ensuring that all ingredients of health concern are controlled in processing and declared on labeling, there is a need for clear and understandable, consumer-friendly terms that would be helpful for allergen-sensitive individuals to make informed food choices for all foods, including meat, poultry, and egg products.  Therefore, FSIS is developing a proposed rule to adopt the same naming conventions for the labeling of any of the eight major foods or food groups that is required by FALCPA when they are used to formulate a meat, poultry, or egg product.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Regulatory Jurisdiction Over Certain Food Products Containing Meat and Poultry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have concluded that a clearer approach to determining jurisdiction over meat and poultry products is possible. This approach involves considering the contribution of the meat or poultry ingredients to the identity of the food.  FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to provide consistency and predictability in the jurisdiction over nine products or product categories for which there has historically been confusion concerning whether these products fall within the jurisdiction of FSIS or FDA.  These proposed changes would exempt cheese and cheese products prepared with less than 50% meat or poultry; breads, rolls and buns prepared with less than 50% meat or poultry; dried poultry soup mixes; flavor bases and flavors; pizza with meat or poultry; and salad dressings prepared with less than 50% meat or poultry from the requirements of the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Product Inspection Act and would clarify that bagel dogs, natural casings, and close faced-sandwiches are subject to the requirements of the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Over the years, FSIS has made decisions about the jurisdiction under which food products containing meat or poultry ingredients are produced based on the amount of meat or poultry in the product; whether the product is represented as a meat or poultry product (that is, whether a term that refers to meat or poultry is used on labeling); whether the product is perceived by consumers as a product of the meat or poultry industries; and whether the product contains poultry or meat from an accepted source.  With regard to the consumer perception factor, FSIS made decisions on a case-by-case basis, mostly in response to situations involving determinations for compliance and enforcement.  Although this case-by-case approach resulted in decisions that made sense at the time that they were made, a review in 2004-2005 by a working group of FSIS and FDA representatives  highlighted that some of the decisions do not appear to be fully consistent with other product decisions and that the reasoning behind various determinations were not fully articulated or supported.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601-695), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451-470), and the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1032), and the regulations that implement these Acts, FSIS has authority over all meat food and poultry products and processed egg products.  Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and the regulations that implement it, FDA has authority over all foods not under FSIS jurisdiction, including dairy, bread and other grain products, vegetables and other produce, and other products, such as seafood.

According to the provisions of the FMIA and PPIA, the Secretary has the authority to exempt certain human food products from the definition of a meat food product (21 U.S.C. 601(j)) or a poultry product (20 U.S.C. 454(f)) based on either of two factors: (1) the product contains only a relatively small proportion of livestock ingredients or poultry ingredients, or (2) the product historically has not been considered by  consumers as a product of the meat food or poultry  industry, and under such conditions as he or she may prescribe to ensure that the livestock or poultry ingredients are not adulterated and that the products are not represented as meat food or poultry products.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FSIS has considered over the years a number of variations to clarify the confusion regarding jurisdiction for these various products.

Alternative 1: Maintain the status quo.  Although FSIS has considered taking no action at this time, the Agency does not recommend this option because of the continued confusion that exists among industry and consumers as to jurisdictional coverage for nine categories of products.

Alternative 2: Reassess the statutory factors for making jurisdiction decision and recommend an amendment.  The amendment of the statute would be from the historical perception factor because that is the factor, of the two statutory factors, that the working group identified as leading to the state of confusion about the jurisdiction of certain products containing meat or poultry.

Alternative 3: Adopt some of the FDA/FSIS working groups suggested approach to making clear and transparent jurisdiction decisions by proposing changes to regulations to codify the current policies on exempted products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FSIS estimates that the net costs of the rule would be approximately $12 million.   This consists of approximately $18 million of one-time and annual costs for establishments producing product that will transfer to FSIS jurisdiction and net savings of $6 million for establishments producing time product that will transfer to FDA jurisdiction.  

FSIS preliminary estimate of total benefits of the rule is approximately $15 million. Benefits would accrue to FSIS and FDA for personnel time saved and to industry for personnel saved.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Health-Based Poultry Slaughter Inspection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing a new inspection system for young poultry slaughter establishments that would facilitate public health-based inspection.  This new system would be available initially only to young chicken slaughter establishments.  Establishments that slaughter broilers, fryers, roasters, and Cornish game hens (as defined in 9 CFR 381.170) would be considered as "young chicken establishments." FSIS is also proposing to revoke the provisions that allow young chicken slaughter establishments to operate under the current Streamlined Inspection System (SIS) or the New Line Speed (NELS) Inspection System.  The proposed rule would establish new performance standards to reduce pathogens.  FSIS anticipates that this proposed rule would provide the framework for action to provide public health-based inspection in all establishments that slaughter amenable poultry species. 

Under the proposed new system, young chicken slaughter establishments would be required to sort chicken carcasses and to conduct other activities to ensure that carcasses are not adulterated before they enter the chilling tank.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Because of the risk to the public health associated with pathogens on young chicken carcasses, FSIS is proposing a new inspection system that would allow for more effective inspection of young chicken carcasses, would allow the Agency to more effectively allocate its resources, would encourage industry to more readily use new technology, and would include new performance standards to reduce pathogens.

This proposed rule is an example of regulatory reform because it would facilitate technological innovation in young chicken slaughter establishments.  It would likely result in more cost-effective dressing of young chickens that are ready to cook or ready for further processing.  Similarly, it would likely result in more efficient and effective use of Agency resources.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Secretary of Agriculture is charged by the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA--21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.) with carrying out a mandatory poultry products inspection program.  The Act requires post-mortem inspection of all carcasses of slaughtered poultry subject to the Act and such reinspection as deemed necessary (21 U.S.C. 455(b)).  The Secretary is authorized to promulgate such rules and regulations as are necessary to carry out the provisions of the Act (21 U.S.C. 463(b)).  The Agency has tentatively determined that this rule would facilitate FSIS post-mortem inspection of young chicken carcasses.  The proposed new system would likely result in more efficient and effective use of Agency resources and in industry innovations.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FSIS considered the following options in developing this proposal:
1) No action. 
2) Propose to implement HACCP-Based Inspection Models Pilot in regulations.  
3) Propose to establish a mandatory, rather than a voluntary, new inspection system for young chicken slaughter establishments.  
4) Propose standards of identity regulations for young chickens that include trim and processing defect criteria and that take into account the intended use of the product.  
5) Propose a voluntary new inspection system for young chicken slaughter establishments and propose standards of identity for whole chickens, regardless of the products' intended use.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed performance standards and the implementation of public health-based inspection would likely improve the public health. FSIS is conducting a risk assessment for this proposed rule to assess the likely public health benefits that the implementation of this rule may achieve.

Establishments that volunteer for this proposed new inspection system alternative would likely need to make capital investments in facilities and equipment.  They may also need to add labor (trained employees).  However, one of the beneficial effects of these investments would likely be the lowering of the average cost per pound to dress poultry properly.  Cost savings would likely result because of increased line speeds, increased productivity, and increased flexibility to industry.  The expected lower average unit cost for dressing poultry would likely give a marketing advantage to establishments under the new system.  Consumers would likely benefit from lower retail prices for high quality poultry products.  The rule would also likely provide opportunities for the industry to innovate because of the increased flexibility it would allow poultry slaughter establishments.  In addition, in the public sector, benefits would accrue to FSIS from the more effective deployment of FSIS inspection program personnel to verify process control based on risk factors at each establishment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Salmonella and other pathogens are present on a substantial portion of poultry carcasses inspected by FSIS.  Foodborne salmonella cause a large number of human illnesses that at times lead to hospitalization and even death.  There is an apparent relationship between human illness and prevalence levels for salmonella in young chicken carcasses.  FSIS believes that through better allocation of inspection resources and the use of performance standards, it would be able to reduce the prevalence of salmonella and other pathogens in young chickens.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Standards for the Production of Processed Meat and Poultry Products; Control of Listeria Monocytogenes in Ready-To-Eat Meat and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS has proposed to establish pathogen reduction performance standards for all ready-to-eat (RTE) and partially heat-treated meat and poultry products, and measures, including testing, to control Listeria monocytogenes in RTE products. The performance standards spell out the objective level of pathogen reduction that establishments must meet during their operations in order to produce safe products but allow the use of customized, plant-specific processing procedures other than those prescribed in the earlier regulations. With HACCP, food safety performance standards  give establishments the incentive and flexibility to adopt innovative, science-based food safety processing procedures and controls, while providing objective, measurable standards that can be verified by Agency inspectional oversight. This set of performance standards will include and be consistent with standards already in place for certain ready-to-eat meat and poultry products.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[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 are necessary to 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.]]></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 fewer 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.  FSIS currently estimates net benefits from the 2003 interim final rule from $500 to $700 million, with annual costs at $98.7 million, if FSIS discounts the capital cost at 7%.  FSIS is continuing to analyze the potential impact of the other provisions of the proposal.

The other main provisions of the proposed rule are: Lethality performance standards for Salmonella and E. coli O157: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. 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. Consequently, there will be fewer cases of foodborne illness.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Before FSIS published the proposed rule, FDA and FSIS had estimated that each year L. monocytogenes caused  2,540 cases of foodborne illness, including 500 fatalities.  The Agencies estimated that about 65.3 percent of these cases, or 1660 cases and 322 deaths per year, were attributable to RTE meat and poultry products.  The analysis of the interim final rule on control of L. monocytogenes conservatively estimated that implementation of the rule would lead to an annual reduction of 27.3 deaths and 136.7 illnesses.  FSIS is continuing to analyze data on production volume and Listeria controls in the RTE meat and poultry products industry and is using the FSIS risk assessment model for L. monocytogenes to determine the likely risk reduction effects of the rule.  Preliminary results indicate that the risk reductions being achieved are somewhat greater than those estimated in the analysis of the interim rule. 

FSIS is also analyzing the potential risk reductions that might be achieved by implementing the lethality and stabilization performance standards for products that would be subject to the proposed rule.  The risk reductions to be achieved by the proposed rule and that are being achieved by the interim rule are intended to contribute to the Agencys public health protection effort.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nutrition Labeling of Single-Ingredient Products and Ground or Chopped Meat and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS has proposed to amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to 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, unless an exemption applies.  FSIS also proposed to require nutrition information on the label of ground or chopped meat and poultry products, unless an exemption applies.  The requirements for ground or chopped products will be consistent with those for multi-ingredient products.

FSIS also proposed to amend the nutrition labeling regulations to 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.  Ground or chopped products are similar to multi-ingredient products.  This rule is necessary so that consumers can have the information they need to construct healthy diets.]]></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 if consumers modify 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.  FSIS estimates that the discounted annual benefits of the rule will range from approximately $200 to $250 million using a 7% discount rate.  FSIS estimates that the discounted annual costs will be approximately $30 million, using a 7% discount rate.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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) have proposed to establish a set of general 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; be consistent with international food standards; and be clear, simple, and easy to use for both manufacturers and the agencies that enforce compliance with the standards. The proposed general principles will establish the criteria that the agencies will use in considering whether a petition to establish, revise, or eliminate a food standard will be the basis for a proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Classes of Poultry Updating Poultry Class Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS will 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. The rule will update existing regulations to reflect current poultry characteristics and production practices. Therefore, the impact on the poultry industry is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Meat Produced by Advanced Meat/Bone Separation Machinery and Meat Recovery Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 12, 2004, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued an interim final rule to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations.  The rule is designed, in part, to prevent human exposure to the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) agent by ensuring that Advanced Meat/Bone Separation Machinery and Meat Recovery (AMR) systems are not a means of introducing central nervous system (CNS)-type tissue into product labeled as "meat."  Meat may be derived by mechanically separating skeletal muscle tissue from the bones of livestock, other than skulls or vertebral column bones of cattle 30 months of age and older, using advances in mechanical meat/bone separation machinery; i.e., AMR systems.  The recovered meat product may not incorporate any brain, trigeminal ganglia, spinal cord, or dorsal root ganglia tissues.  In addition, there must be no more than a non-significant incorporation of bone solids or bone marrow as measured by the presence of calcium and iron in excess of the requirements in the interim final rule.  This rule also requires that federally inspected establishments that process cattle develop, implement, and maintain written procedures for the removal, segregation, and disposition of specified risk materials (SRMs), including non-complying products from beef AMR systems.  These procedures are required to be incorporated into an establishments HACCP plan, Sanitation Standard Operation Procedures, or other prerequisite program.  FSIS took this action in response to the diagnosis on December 23, 2003, by the Department of Agriculture of a positive case of BSE in an adult Holstein cow in the State of Washington.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule revises, edits, and consolidates provisions to establish standards and procedures for the accreditation of non-Federal analytical chemistry laboratories.  FSIS is amending the regulations to accommodate more readily the adoption of newer methods for analyzing an expanded number of chemical residues and to correct some factual data. In addition, FSIS is making other editorial changes to reflect Agency reorganizations and program changes since a rule was published in 1993.  This rule also consolidates the regulations, now in two parts, into a single part, 9 CFR part 439.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Availability of Lists of Retail Consignees During Meat or Poultry Product Recalls</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has proposed to amend the federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to provide that the Agency will make available to the public lists of the retail consignees of meat and poultry products that have been voluntarily recalled by a federally inspected meat or poultry products establishment.  FSIS has proposed this action because it believes that making this information available will be of significant value to consumers and the industry.  It will clarify what products should be removed from commerce and from consumers possession because there is reason to believe they are adulterated or misbranded.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This regulatory action is necessary to provide important information to help consumers identify recalled products.

Consumer activists and States have increasingly demanded the public release of information on where recalled meat and poultry products have been shipped.  The States have requested this information be provided without the limitations imposed by FSISs regulations.  Consumer groups have claimed that the public needs this information to fully protect itself.  In response to these requests, FSIS is proposing to make available to the public the names of likely retail consignees of recalled meat and poultry products.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This regulatory action is authorized under 5 U.S.C. 301, Departmental regulations, and 5 U.S.C. 552, Public information; agency rules, opinions, orders, records, and proceedings.  It is not the result of any specific mandate by the Congress or a Federal court.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FSIS has prepared a regulatory impact analysis to evaluate the potential economic impacts of several alternatives on the public, the meat and poultry industry, and FSIS.  These alternatives include: (1) Including local health departments as entities that could receive recall distribution lists; (2) making available to the general public recall distribution lists only in response to a Freedom of Information request; and (3) making lists available to State agencies with agreements with FSIS under 9 CFR 390.9.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FSIS is analyzing the potential costs of this proposed rulemaking.

This regulatory action would provide information to consumers about meat and poultry products sold at retail establishments that are believed to be adulterated or misbranded and are therefore subject to being recalled.  The consumption of such products may cause food borne illness and other adverse health consequences, including death.

If consumers use retail consignee information and are better able to identify and return recalled meat and poultry products to the stores where they purchased them, the recall process will be more timely and effective.  Potential benefits of the proposal are expected as a result of making more information available to consumers regarding the location of meat and poultry products subject to recall.  The Agency does not expect the benefits to be significant.  There is no research or empirical evidence upon which to quantify potential benefits.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Allowing Bar-Type Cut Turkey Operations To Use J-Type Cut Maximum Line Speeds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS has proposed to amend the Federal poultry products inspection regulations to provide that turkey slaughter establishments that open turkey carcasses with Bar-type cuts may operate at the maximum line speeds established for J-type cuts, if the establishment uses the specific type of shackle described in this proposed rule.  Under this proposed rule, as under current regulations, the inspector in charge will reduce line speeds when, in his or her judgment, the prescribed inspection procedure cannot be adequately performed within the time available because of the health conditions of a particular flock or because of other factors.  Such factors include the manner in which birds are being presented to the inspector for inspection and the level of contamination among the birds on the line.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibition of the Use of Specified Risk Materials for Human Food and Requirements for the Disposition of Non-Ambulatory Disabled Cattle</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 12, 2004, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued an interim final rule to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations to designate the brain, skull, eyes, trigeminal ganglia, spinal cord, vertebral column (excluding the vertebrae of the tail, the transverse processes of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and the wings of the sacrum), and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of cattle 30 months of age and older, and the tonsils and distal ileum of the small intestine of all cattle, as "specified risk materials" (SRMs). The Agency declared that SRMs are inedible and prohibited their use for human food. In addition, as a result of the interim final rule, FSIS now requires that all non-ambulatory disabled cattle presented for slaughter be condemned. The Agency also requires that federally inspected establishments that slaughter cattle and federally inspected establishments that process the carcasses or parts of cattle develop, implement, and maintain written procedures for the removal, segregation, and disposition of SRMs. Establishments must incorporate these procedures into their HACCP plans or in their Sanitation SOPs or other prerequisite program. FSIS took this action in response to the diagnosis on December 23, 2003, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture of a positive case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in an adult Holstein cow in the State of Washington.  This action is intended to minimize human exposure to materials that scientific studies have demonstrated as containing the BSE agent in cattle infected with the disease. Infectivity has never been demonstrated in the muscle tissue of cattle experimentally or naturally infected with BSE at any stage of the disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) regulations to allow reimbursement of meals 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 meals 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 participating in qualifying afterschool programs located in the seven States may receive free meals.  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>FSP:  Regulation Restructuring To Reflect the End of Coupon Issuance Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed changes to the Food Stamp Programs regulations are being put forth to account for the replacement of the paper coupon issuance system with the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system as the nationwide method of distributing benefits to program recipients.  These changes will remove coupon issuance regulations that are no longer applicable, revise regulatory language to more appropriately connote the new EBT issuance system (such as eliminating the use of the term "coupon," and replacing it with either "benefits" or "EBT card"), and reorganize sections to develop a more cohesive set of issuance and retailer regulations.  None of the changes will have any policy impacts. The regulatory revisions, however, are necessary to avoid confusion by ensuring that the issuance and redemption requirements are clear and comprehensible.  The sections that will be updated and reorganized by the proposed rule are 7 CFR parts 274 and 278.  (04-004)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>WIC Farmers&apos; Market Nutrition Program (FMNP):  Implementation of the FMNP Provisions in the CN and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-265) and FMNP Funding Formula</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule amends the FMNP regulations to implement the nondiscretionary FMNP provisions in Public Law 108-265, the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004.  The legislative provisions include:  (1) An option for State agencies to authorize roadside stands without prior FNS approval; (2) revising the match requirement to apply the 30 percent to the administrative cost of the program instead of 30 percent of the total cost of the program (administrative and food costs); and (3) increasing the maximum Federal benefit level from $20 to $30.   

Also included in this rulemaking will be a funding formula methodology for the FMNP when funds requested exceed available funds to allocate.  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s need relative to all other State agencies needs.  (05-003)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FSP: 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 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.

Background

EBT is an electronic system that allows a food stamp recipient to authorize transfer of their Government benefits from a Federal account to a retailer account to pay for eligible food items.  All States, the District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico have operational food stamp EBT systems.  All food stamp benefits are being issued by EBT.  Approximately, 153,000 retail food stores are authorized to accept food stamp benefits.

One of the benefits of EBT is that it helps curb food stamp fraud committed by retail food stores.  EBT creates an electronic record of each food stamp transaction, making it easier to identify and document instances where food stamp benefits are being illegally obtained (i.e., food stamp benefits being exchanged for cash or non-food items) by retail food stores.

Proposed Regulation

FNS is continuing to improve using EBT data efficiently to detect and pursue abuse.  Section 278.6 of the Food Stamp regulations, however, does not thoroughly address the actions/sanctions that FNS may impose against retail food stores that are found violating the program via the EBT system.  Since the inception of EBT, FNS has discovered that food stores have departed from some of the conventional methods of committing food stamp fraud and have devised new and innovative ways to commit fraud using the EBT system.  Hence, section 278.6 of the Food Stamp Program regulations must be revised in order to address the administrative sanctions that may be imposed by FNS against EBT stores found violating the program.

In addition to providing for EBT specific sanctions,  FNS will conduct a comprehensive review of existing regulatory sanctions for conventional fraud and will make regulatory changes that are warranted and appropriate. (05-007)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions and Clarifications in Requirements for the Distribution and Control of Donated Foods</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule would amend current regulations in 7 CFR part 250 to ensure the safe storage and management of donated foods and their efficient and cost-effective distribution, while reducing reporting and administrative requirements currently imposed on distributing agencies.  Specifically, the rule would propose to: 
	Require the distributing agency, and distributing agency agreements with recipient agencies, to ensure that the storage, management, distribution, and use of donated foods will be conducted in accordance with Federal food safety requirements. 
	Require that inventory management systems assure that donated foods can be tracked in the event of a food recall. 
	Retain FNS authority to require the distributing agency to reevaluate its storage and distribution system and justify its efficiency and cost-effectiveness, but remove the requirement that the distributing agency reevaluate its storage and distribution system on a periodic basis.
	Require the distributing agency to permit direct deliveries of donated foods to recipient agencies, or to commercial storage facilities, processors, or other contractors, to the extent that such deliveries may be made cost-effectively.
	Remove the requirement that the distributing agency maintain a separate salvage account for funds obtained from salvage of donated foods, claim recoveries, etc., and the requirement that FNS approve certain expenditures from such accounts. 
	Remove the exemption from claims recovery of donated food inventory losses in amounts less than 1 percent of total inventory of such food. 
	Remove the requirement that the distributing agency submit commodity acceptability reports to FNS and conduct surveys of recipient agencies to collect information for such purpose.
	Retain the prohibition against maintenance of excessive donated food inventories (i.e., more than a 6-month supply) but remove the requirement that the distributing agency submit a report of excessive donated food inventories for donated foods received in child nutrition programs and TEFAP. 

Lastly, the rule would rewrite 7 CFR part 250 in a plain language format to make it easier to read and understand for the general public.

We do not anticipate any additional costs imposed on distributing or recipient agencies or other entities as a result of the changes proposed in this rule.  (06-002)]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Stamp Program Regulatory Review: FSP Standards for Approval and Operation of Food Stamp Electronic Benefit Transfer Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule makes revisions to food stamp regulations affecting the standards and administration of EBT systems for food stamp issuance. Current regulations at 7 CFR 274.12 delineate the standards that EBT systems must meet in order to be approved for operation. This rule revises those regulations to provide the State agency more flexibility in implementing and operating those systems. Clarifications and FNS settlement improvements are also incorporated into the rule. The rule contains a provision to provide State agencies with a new option to allow retailers with commercial equipment to use a Store and Forward process instead of the manual voucher process when the system is down.  This provision went forward as an interim provision so that the Department can solicit additional comments.  All the other provisions went forward as final. (96-016)]]></ABSTRACT>

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

            <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 implements the certification and eligibility provisions of Public Law 107-171, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002.  It simplifies State administration of the Food Stamp Program, increases eligibility for the program among certain groups, increases access to the program among low-income families and individuals, and increases benefit levels.  The provisions of this rule 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>FSP: Revisions to Bonding Requirements for Violating Retail and Wholesale Food Concerns</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule will revise the current bonding requirements set forth in section 278.1(b)(4) of Food Stamp Program (FSP) regulations that are imposed against retailers who have violated FSP rules and regulations.  Section 12(d) of the Food Stamp Act of 1977 (the Act), as amended, gives the Secretary of Agriculture the discretionary authority to require that retailers who have been sanctioned for program violations present a collateral bond as a condition of future authorization.  The Act also gives the Secretary the authority to prescribe the amount, terms, and conditions of such bonds by regulation.  Currently, all violating retailers that are sanctioned for a specified period of time or imposed a civil money penalty are required to submit a bond if they wish to continue to participate in the FSP.  The bond must be valid as long as the firm is authorized to participate in the FSP regardless of the period of disqualification imposed or the amount of the civil money penalty assessed.  Retailers are required to renew their bond through a financial institution on a periodic basis.  The proposed rule will:  1) Eliminate the current bonding requirement for retailers who are disqualified for a period of 6 months or imposed a civil money penalty in lieu of a 6-month disqualification period and 2) limit the requirement to no more than 1 year for retailers who are disqualified for a specified period of time greater than 6 months or imposed a civil money penalty in lieu of a specified period of time greater than 6 months.  Section 278.2(f) of the FSP regulations stipulates that retail food stores may not accept food stamp benefits in payment for any eligible food sold to food stamp households on credit.  Thus, the proposed rule will also assign a specified period of time for retailers to be removed from the program for accepting food stamp benefits in payment for eligible food on credit.

        <RULE_TITLE>Management of Donated Foods in Child Nutrition Programs, the Nutrition Services Incentive Program, and Charitable Institutions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule revises or clarifies requirements with respect to the distribution, management, and use of donated foods in child nutrition programs, the Nutrition Services Incentive Program, and by charitable institutions.  Most significantly, it establishes specific requirements to ensure that school food authorities and other recipient agencies in child nutrition programs receive the value of all donated foods provided under contract with food service management companies to conduct the food service.  It requires the food service management company to credit the recipient agency for donated foods received, through invoice reductions, refunds, or other means of crediting.  The rule provides some flexibility in crediting for and use of donated foods by allowing the recipient agency to use donated food values other than the USDA purchase price and by allowing the food service management company to substitute donated foods with commercially purchased foods, with the exception of (1) donated ground beef and ground pork and (2) end products received from processors.

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC): Discretionary WIC Vendor Provisions in the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, Public Law 108-265</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends regulations for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) by adding three requirements mandated by the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-265), concerning retail vendors authorized by WIC State agencies to provide supplemental foods to WIC participants in exchange for WIC food instruments.  First, this rulemaking requires WIC State agencies to notify WIC-authorized retail vendors of an initial violation, for violations requiring a pattern of occurrences in order to impose a sanction, before documenting a subsequent violation unless such notification would compromise an investigation.  Second, State agencies are required to maintain a list of State-licensed wholesalers, distributors, and retailers, as well as infant formula manufacturers registered with the Food and Drug Administration; WIC-authorized retail vendors are required to purchase infant formula only from sources on the list.  Third, State agencies are prohibited from authorizing or making payments to WIC-authorized vendors that derive more than 50 percent of their annual food sales revenue (above-50-percent vendors) and that provide incentive items or other free merchandise except food or merchandise of nominal value to program participant customers unless the vendor provides the State agency with proof that the vendor obtained the incentive items or merchandise at no cost.  The intent of these provisions is, respectively, to enhance the due process for vendors, to prevent defective infant formula from being consumed by infant WIC participants, and to prevent increased WIC food costs caused by above-50-percent vendors who provide incentive items to participants which ultimately are derived from the proceeds of WIC purchases.

Unrelated to Public Law 108-265, this final rule will also provide inflation adjustments for vendor civil money penalties. (04-007)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>District-Wide Use of Provisions 2 and 3</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, schools may choose to use "Provision 2" or "Provision 3" to reduce application burdens and simplify meal counting and claiming procedures.  Provision 2 allows schools to establish claiming percentages and to serve all meals at no charge for a 4-year period. Provision 3 allows schools to simply receive the same level of Federal cash and commodity assistance each year, with some adjustments, for a 4-year period.  Both provisions are used by schools with significant percentages of children eligible for free and reduced-price school meals. Schools serve all meals at no cost to the child but continue to be reimbursed at the rate determined in the year that the actual number of free and reduced price eligible children was determined. 

In response to Public Law 108-265, which amended the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, 7 CFR 245, Determining Eligibility for Free and Reduced Price Meals and Free Milk in Schools, will be revised to allow school districts to use "Provision 2" or "Provision 3" on a district-wide basis as well as on a school basis.

        <RULE_TITLE>Applying for Free and Reduced Price Meals in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, and for Benefits in the Special Milk Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations for determining eligibility for free and reduced price meals and free milk in schools will be revised to require that:

(1) Descriptive materials distributed to parents and guardians contain a notification that:

-- Participants in the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children (the WIC program), the Food Stamp Program, the Food Distribution Program on Indian reservations, and State Temporary Assistance for Needy families (TANF) programs may be eligible for free or reduced-price school meals; and

-- Documentation may be requested for verification of eligibility for free or reduced-price meals;

(2) Eligibility determinations for free or reduced-price school meals (other than cases where direct certification is used) are to be made on the basis of a complete application executed by an adult member of the household or in accordance with guidance issued by the Secretary.  It will also stipulate that the household application must identify the names of each child in the household for whom free or reduced-price meal benefits are being requested and bars State agencies and local educational authorities from requesting separate applications for each child in cases where the children attend schools in the same local educational authority;

(3) Explicitly permits applications with electronic signatures if the application is submitted electronically and the application filing system meets confidentiality standards set by the Secretary; and

(4) Eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals remains valid for 1 year for most students.  Eligibility would remain in effect beginning with approval for the current school year and ending on a date during the subsequent school year determined by the Secretary.  An exception is included for cases where verification activities indicate ineligibility.  (04-012)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Nutrition Programs:  Fluid Milk Substitutions </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, by regulation, schools must make substitutions for fluid milk for students with a disability when the request is authorized by a licensed physician and may make substitutions for students with medical or other dietary needs if requested by recognized medical authority.  These regulatory provisions were included in Public Law 108-265 which amended the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.  Public Law 108-265 also amended the current law to allow schools to substitute non-dairy beverages nutritionally equivalent (as established by the Secretary) to fluid milk for medical or other special dietary needs at the request of a parent/guardian.  In response to Public Law 108-265, the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program regulations will be revised to add these provisions.  (04-016)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Verification of Eligibility for Free and Reduced Priced Meals in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to Public Law 108-265, which amended the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, the verification procedures in 7 CFR 245, Determining Eligibility for Free and Reduced Price Meals and Free Milk in Schools, will be revised to require that:

1.  Local Educational Authorities (LEAs) verify the eligibility of children in a sample of approved free and reduced-price school meal applications.  The basic sample size would be the lesser of 3 percent of all approved applications (as of October 1 of the school year) selected from error-prone applications or 3,000 approved error-prone applications.  Error-prone applications would be those defined as within $100 a month or $1200 annually of the applicable income limit or, alternately, under criteria set by USDA.  However, local educational agencies that qualify could choose 1 of 2 alternate sample sizes (effectively the options established in current regulations) if:

-- Their nonresponse rate for the preceding school year is less than 20 percent, or 

-- For a local educational agency with more than 20,000 children approved by application as eligible for free or reduced-price school meals as of October 1, their nonresponse rate for the preceding school year is improved by 10 percent from the nonresponse rate for the second preceding school year.

A nonresponse rate is the percentage of approved household applications for which verification information has not been obtained by a LEA.  When verifying eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals, local educational agencies can first use direct verification and obtain and use income and program participation information from public agencies administering certain programs.  The programs are:  The Food Stamp Program, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, State TANF programs, State Medicaid programs, or similar income-tested programs (or other sources of information). In cases in which there are not enough error-prone applications to comply with the options, local educational agencies would be required to randomly select additional applications to fulfill the percentage or number requirement.    

2.  Requires local educational agencies to complete all verification activities (including required "follow-up" activities) by November 15 of each school year; States may extend this deadline to December 15 under criteria set by the Secretary. It will also require local educational agencies to make appropriate modifications to eligibility determinations based on their verification activities.

3.  It also allows local educational agencies to "decline" to verify up to 5 percent of their verification sample and replace the declined applications with other approved applications.

4.  Requires that the local educational agency provide written notice to households selected for verification. The notice must include a toll-free phone number that the household can call for assistance with the verification process.  (04-019)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementing Provisions From the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004:  Seamless Summer Option for Schools Participating in the National School Lunch Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 116 of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-265) amended section 13(a) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) to authorize a Seamless Summer Option for public or private nonprofit school food authorities to participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP).  The law stipulates that schools that participate under the Seamless Summer Option must be reimbursed for breakfasts served at the School Breakfast Program free rates and for lunches and snacks served at the National School Lunch Program free rates.

The Committee Report (108-279) accompanying the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 notes that the provision closely tracks the Seamless Summer Feeding Waiver, which was available to school sponsors nationwide from fiscal years 2002 through 2004.  This interim final rule will amend 7 CFR parts 210 and 220 to incorporate the Seamless Summer Option that will be available to public and private nonprofit school food authorities that participate in the NSLP and SBP.  The Department also intends to incorporate into the NSLP and SBP regulations much of the policy that has been developed for schools that were approved by State agencies or FNS to operate the waiver.

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC): WIC Vendor Cost Containment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the WIC regulations to strengthen vendor cost containment.  The rule incorporates into program regulations new legislative requirements that affect the selection, authorization, and reimbursement of retail vendors.  These requirements are contained in the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-265), which was enacted on June 30, 2004.  The rule reflects the statutory provisions that require WIC State agencies to implement a vendor peer group system, competitive price selection criteria, and allowable reimbursement levels in a manner that ensures that the WIC Program pays authorized vendors competitive prices for supplemental foods.  It also requires State agencies to ensure that vendors that derive more than 50 percent of their annual food sales revenue from WIC food instruments do not result in higher food costs to the program than do other vendors.  The intent of these provisions is to maximize the number of women, infants, and children served with available Federal funding.  (04-029)]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This action is needed to implement the vendor cost containment provisions of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, Public Law 108-265.  The rule requires WIC State agencies to operate vendor management systems that effectively contain food costs by ensuring that prices paid for supplemental foods are competitive.  The rule also responds to data which indicate that WIC food expenditures increasingly include payments to a type of vendor whose prices are not governed by the market forces that affect most retail grocers.  As a result, the prices charged by these vendors tend to be higher than those of other retail grocery stores participating in the program.  To ensure that the program pays competitive prices, this rule codifies the new statutory requirements for State agencies to use in evaluating vendor applicants prices during the vendor selection process and when paying vendors for supplemental foods following authorization.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 203(e)(10) of Public Law 108-265, Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This rule implements the vendor peer group provisions of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, which FNS believes is an effective means of controlling WIC food costs.  While this Act mandates that States establish peer groups, competitive price criteria, and allowable reimbursement levels, and states that these requirements must result in the outcome of paying above-50-percent vendors no more than regular vendors, the rule does not specify particular criteria for peer groups or acceptable methods of setting competitive price criteria and allowable reimbursement levels.  FNS considered mandating specific means of developing peer groups, competitive price criteria, and allowable reimbursement levels in order to ensure that the outcome of this legislation was achieved.

However, given States responsibility to manage WIC as a discretionary grant program and the varying market conditions in each State, FNS believes that States need flexibility to develop their own peer groups, competitive price criteria, and allowable reimbursement levels.  At the October 2004 meeting the FNS convened to gain input for this rule, States indicated that they needed the ability to design cost containment practices that would be effective in their own markets and would ensure participant access.  In addition, there is little information about the effectiveness of particular cost containment practices in the variety of markets represented by the 89 WIC State agencies.  Mandating more specific means of developing peer groups, competitive price criteria, and allowable reimbursement levels could have unintended negative consequences for participant access, food costs and administrative burden.

As States gain experience and the results of their vendor cost containment practices become apparent, FNS may develop further regulations and guidance to improve vendor cost containment.  In the interim, FNS believes that the current rule will substantially accomplish the goal of the Act of containing food costs and ensuring that above-50-percent vendors do not result in higher costs to the WIC Program than regular vendors.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Costs:  This rule places new requirements on State agencies; therefore, the cost implications of this rule relate primarily to administrative burden for WIC State agencies.  These cost implications are partially dependent on the current practices of State agencies relative to the requirements of the rule.  Detailed information regarding the cost implications of this rule is contained in the Regulatory Impact Analysis developed by FNS to accompany this rulemaking.

Benefits:  The WIC Program will benefit from the provisions of this rule by reducing unnecessary food expenditures, thus increasing the potential to serve more eligible women, infants, and children for the same cost.  This rule should have the effect of ensuring that payments to vendors, particularly vendors that derive more than 50 percent of their annual food sales revenue from WIC food instruments, reflect competitive prices for WIC foods.  The Regulatory Impact Analysis prepared by FNS to accompany this rulemaking projects an estimated monthly cost savings of over $6.25 million.  (Details of this projection can be found in the complete Regulatory Impact Analysis.)]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Because the vendor peer group provisions in the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 and this rule provide for some flexibility in implementation, and because there is a wide degree of variation in food prices and current vendor cost containment practices across State agencies, the impact of many of the provisions of this rule is uncertain.  Uncertainties include the administrative burden State agencies will incur and the savings that can be realized nationally or in any State agency.  The major uncertainties for both administrative burden and program savings are discussed in greater detail in the Regulatory Impact Analysis.]]></RISKS>

        -- Adds new definitions (State alliance and primary contract infant formula)
        -- Limits the size of State alliances
        -- Requires State agencies to use primary contract infant formula as the first choice of issuance 
        -- Requires uncoupling of bids for milk- and soy-based infant formula in certain rebate solicitations
        -- Requires that bid solicitations require manufacturers to make a cent-for-cent increase or decrease in rebate amounts to match changes in national wholesale prices occurring subsequent to the bid opening
        -- Requires a State agency to have a system to ensure that rebate invoices provide a reasonable estimate or actual count of the number of units sold in the program
3.	Program eligibility
        -- Provides additional exceptions to the physical presence requirement
        -- Excludes from consideration as income certain payments (Federal Supplemental Subsistence Allowance (FSSA) and National Flood Insurance)
4.	Food delivery systems
        -- Requires State agencies to allow participants to receive supplemental foods from any of the authorized stores under retail food delivery systems
        -- Requires the State plan to include a description of the State agencys procedures for accepting and processing vendor applications outside the established timeframes
        -- Prohibits a State agency from imposing the cost of electronic benefit transfer equipment, systems, or processing on retail vendors
5.	Funding and financial management
        -- Increases State agency carry-forward authority for nutrition services and administration funds from 1 percent to 3 percent
        -- Allows State agencies to use funds recovered through local agency claims in the same way that it uses funds recovered from vendors and participants.  (04-006)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions and Clarifications in Requirements for the Processing of Donated Foods</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule requires multi-State processors to sign National Processing Agreements (NPA) with the Department to process donated foods into end products, as under a current demonstration project.  Under NPA, the Department is responsible for the review and approval of end product data schedules and the management of the processors performance bond to protect the value of donated food inventories.  Processors are still required to enter into State Participation Agreements (SPA) to sell end products in the State and to meet other State-specific processing requirements.  The revisions will reduce the workload currently required of State agencies in approving end product data schedules and accounting for donated foods provided to processors.  However, State agencies may continue to ensure that processing requirements are met under current agreement or contract options.

This final rule also revises other processing requirements to reduce the paperwork burden and workload and to more fully integrate donated foods with commercial business practices.  It revises current regulations to: (1) Allow processing agreements or contracts of up to 5 years duration, rather than the current 1 year, with an option for two 1-year extensions; (2) allow substitution of donated beef and pork with like commercial foods of U.S. origin and of equal or better quality; (3) remove the verification of end product sales through commercial distributors; (4) reduce independent CPA audit requirements for multi-State processors by revising upward the donated food value thresholds that determine the required frequency of such audits; and (5) require in-State processors to obtain an independent CPA audit every 3 years, and remove the requirement that distributing agencies conduct an on-site review of such processors at least once every 2 years.

Lastly, the rule rewrites and restructures processing regulations in a plain language format to make them easier to understand for the general public.  (05-005)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements the first comprehensive revisions to the WIC food packages since 1980.  These revised food packages were developed to better reflect current nutrition science and dietary recommendations than do current food packages, within the parameters of current program costs.  This interim final rule revises regulations governing the WIC food packages to align the WIC food packages with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) (1)  and current infant feeding practice guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics, better promote and support the establishment of successful long-term breastfeeding, provide WIC participants with a wider variety of food, and provide WIC State agencies with greater flexibility in prescribing food packages to accommodate participants with cultural food preferences.

        <RULE_TITLE>FSP: Unauthorized Redemption and Trafficking in Program Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rulemaking is being developed in response to reports of  incidents in which an authorized retailer has redeemed a Food Stamp Program participants program benefits without the knowledge of the participant.  In addition, this rule serves to modify actions that may be taken against some retailers found to be trafficking in program benefits. 

The Food Stamp Act, as amended, provides for the prosecution of any unauthorized issuance, redemption, use, transfer, acquisition, alteration or possession of coupons, ATP cards, or other program access device by an individual, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity to prosecution under sections 15(b) and (c) of the Food Stamp Act or under any other applicable Federal, State, or local law, regulation, or ordinance. Stealing benefits from a recipient by redeeming program benefits without their knowledge would be an offense that could be prosecuted under the current statute. However, program regulations do not provide clear administrative penalties for such thefts of Food Stamp Program benefits. In the absence of prosecution, there are currently no administrative actions that may be taken against such entities for stealing the program benefits of recipients.  In addition, it has been determined that this activity does not meet the definition of trafficking as reflected  in current Food Stamp Program regulations.
 
This interim final rulemaking will add a simple amendment to current regulations to provide for the establishment of an administrative penalty for such violations of the Food Stamp Program equivalent to the penalty for trafficking in program benefits.  Authorized individuals, partnerships, corporations, or other legal entities found to have stolen benefits from program recipients without their knowledge or complicity shall be disqualified from program participation permanently. Any firm charged with such a violation would be provided with the opportunity for administrative and judicial review of the disqualification action as provided for in current program regulations.

In addition, in response to ongoing investigations by the Office of Inspector General of the USDA and the recommendations of the Department of Justice, this interim final rulemaking puts in place a variation on current trafficking sanctions.  Current legislation and regulations require immediate permanent disqualification for trafficking, subject to appeal.  However, regulations provide a 10-day waiting period during which a firm may reply to the charges of trafficking as well as request and provide justification for a trafficking civil money penalty in lieu of permanent disqualification. 

There have been documented cases in which a preponderance of evidence indicates that there is a likelihood of continuous and flagrant trafficking activity that would take place if certain firms were permitted to continue in operational status during that 10-day period. In response, this interim rule provides for immediate termination of POS device operations for Food Stamp Program transactions in certain cases.  This immediate termination would take place at the direction of the Office of Inspector General of the USDA and/or the Assistant United States Attorneys Office serving the appropriate geographic locale. At the direction of either or both of the aforementioned parties, the Agency would take immediate action to terminate the redemption of Food Stamp Program benefits by that firm if there is a finding of egregious trafficking activity.  The firm will receive all other due process considerations currently provided in the program regulations; however, its ability to conduct Food Stamp Program business will be immediately suspended.

        <RULE_TITLE>School Breakfast Program:  Severe Need Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior to the interim rule, in order to receive the higher severe need School Breakfast Program reimbursements, schools must have served 40 percent plus of their lunches free or at a reduced price in the second preceding year and must document their costs.  They received the lesser of their documented costs or the severe need rate.

In response to Public Law 108-265, which amended the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, 7 CFR 220, the School Breakfast Programs regulations, is revised to remove the requirement to document costs. This rule also revises the regulations to require that the Secretary determine how schools without a second preceding year history may qualify for severe need reimbursements.  (04-008)]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to require State agencies to collect and submit data to the Food and Nutrition Service that identifies the faith-based and community organizations that participate in the Federal nutrition assistance programs.  This rulemaking adds requirements to the following programs:  Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, Summer Food Service Program, Commodity Supplemental Food Program, and the Emergency Food Assistance Program.  The data collection effort ends 5 years after the effective date of the final rule. (04-001)]]></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 part 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 18 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend 36 CFR 223.200 to list species proposed to be surplus to domestic manufacturing needs. This proposed rule would implement a portion of section 620a(b) of the Forest Resources Conservation and Shortage Relief Act of 1990 (16 U.S.C. 620 et seq.). Section 620a(a) of the Act provides that no person who acquires unprocessed timber originating from Federal lands west of the 100th meridian in the contiguous 48 States may export such timber from the United States, or sell, trade, exchange, or otherwise convey such timber from the United States, unless such timber has been determined under subsection (b) to be surplus to the needs of timber manufacturing facilities in the United States. Section 620a(b) of the Act provides that the prohibition contained in subsection (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 revise the process by which certain parties can appeal decisions relating to authorizations for use and occupancy of National Forest System lands and resources.  This proposed rule would create a new part 214 to replace regulations at 36 CFR part 251, subpart C.  The Forest Service has a continuing commitment to review its regulations periodically, to identify specific problems in administering them, and to determine whether they meet agency and public needs.  Experience with the procedures at 36 CFR part 251, subpart C, has shown that certain provisions in the rule consistently raise questions.  Thus, the Agency has identified a need to amend the procedures at 36 CFR part 251, subpart C, to correct and clarify aspects of the part 251 appeals process and its relationship to the amended appeal rule at 36 CFR part 215.  Among specific changes being proposed are acknowledgement that this is the appropriate part for appeal of decisions related to locatable mining operations; making terminology consistent with part 215; establishing time frames for intervening, scheduling oral presentations or requesting stays; 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 conforming technical revisions to 36 CFR parts 212, 215, 228, 241, 251, 254, and 292.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is promulgating 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 interim final rule also implements Public Law 106-113, which authorizes a pilot program of charges and fees for harvest of 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 provide consistency for the sustainability and sale of special forest products including forest botanical products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Locatable Minerals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revision follows recommended changes developed by the Government Accountability Office and Office of Inspector General audits and recommendations in the National Research Council's 1999 report titled "Hard Rock 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>Grazing Permit Administration (FSH 2209.13, Chapters 10 and 20)</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 issued 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:  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>Recreation Event Fees (Forest Service Manual, Chapter 2720)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is publishing a proposed directive to amend Forest Service Manual 2721.49 regarding the basis of determining fees for recreation events.  Currently, fees are based on a percentage of gross revenues.  The proposed fee system would establish a fee based on the number of people involved in the event.  This modification in the fee system would result in fees similar to the Bureau of Land Management for this type of use. Additionally, the modification would reduce the administrative workload, for both holders and the Government, associated with the auditing of records for permits that generate less than $100,000 in revenue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Outfitter and Guide Special Use Authorizations (Forest Service Handbook 2709.11, Chapter 30)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is publishing a proposed agency directive to amend Forest Service Handbook 2709.11, section 37, regarding fees for outfitting and guiding special use authorizations.  This action is being taken to improve administrative efficiency for the agency and reduce administrative burden to small business.  For example: for minor concession uses, the proposed directive would revise the current fee system from one based on a percentage of gross revenue to a flat rate, thus reducing record keeping and audit requirements.  Public comment is invited and will be considered in development of a final directive.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Integrated Resource Contracts, FS-2400-13 and FS-2400-13T (Notice of Final Contracts)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 323 of Public Law 108-7, the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution (16 U.S.C. 2104 note) established special authorities for stewardship contracting not addressed in existing Forest Service timber sale contracts. In general, the new authorities provide for including service work in timber sale contracts and applying the value of timber or other forest products removed as an offset against the cost of services received. Integrated Resource Contracts FS-2400-13 and FS-2400-13T are being developed for use with stewardship end result contracting when the value of timber exceeds the cost of service work. 

Except where they deviate to address the new authorities, the FS-2400-13 and FS-2400-13T contracts parallel recently revised timber sale contracts FS-2400-6 and FS-2400-6T, which became effective upon notice in the Federal Register on May 6, 2004 (69 FR 25367).

In order to fully implement the authorities under section 323 of Public Law 108-7, and because they are so similar to timber sale contracts FS-2400-6 and FS-2400-6T, the Agency implemented interim use of the integrated resource contracts while public comments are being sought. Comments received will be considered in the development of the final contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to General Prohibitions Regarding Livestock and Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros on National Forest System Lands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to revise the regulation governing the management of wild free-roaming horses and burros.  This proposed action will incorporate into regulation new provisions for management of wild horses and burros enacted by the Fiscal Year 2005 Omnibus Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 108-447, Division E, title 1, section 142).  This proposed action would also eliminate concerns raised by employees and others about inconsistencies in Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management regulations on the management of wild horses and burros.

The Fiscal Year 2005 Omnibus Appropriations Act amended the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act (Pub. L. 92-195) and mandated the sale of wild horses and burros that meet specific criteria.  In general, the law mandates the sale of excess wild horses and burros that are more than 10 years of age or that have been offered unsuccessfully for adoption at least 3 times.  These animals are to be made available for sale without limitation, including through auction to the highest bidder, at local sale yards, or other convenient livestock selling facilities, until all excess animals offered for sale are sold or until appropriate management levels are attained across all areas occupied by wild horses and burros.  Funds generated from the sale of these animals are to be credited to the Bureau of Land Management and used to help alleviate costs generated from the adoption of wild horses and burros.

Additionally, the Forest Service wishes to merge this revision of 36 CFR part 222 with an existing proposed action to revise 36 CFR part 261, subpart A--General Prohibitions; section 261.7, Livestock; and section 261.21, Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros (RIN 0596-AC31).  That proposed rule would clarify ambiguity regarding whether strict liability must be proven for violations of the prohibitions set out in those sections related to livestock and wild free-roaming horses and burros.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification for the Appropriate Use of a Criminal or a Civil Citation To Enforce Mineral Regulations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to amend the regulations at 36 CFR 261.10 to clarify when a criminal citation should be used for unauthorized mining operations.  This revision is necessary to address recent adverse District Court decisions which have found that sections 261.10(b) and (k) do not apply to the enforcement of unauthorized mining operations.  These sections deal with taking possession of, occupying, or using National Forest System lands for residential purposes and the use or occupancy of the lands or facilities respectively.  Adding appropriate language would make it clear that these sections do apply to mineral operations.
In addition, in the definitions section where operating plan is defined, references to other mineral-related regulations will be added to indicate that 36 CFR 261.10 applies to them as well.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Forest Service National Trail Management Classification System (Final Directive, FSM 2330)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 3, 2006, the Forest Service published a Notice in the Federal Register for public comment on the Agencys proposed revisions to the National Trail Class Management System and Trail Design Parameters.  The Forest Service uses this system to classify National Forest System Trails into 5 classes:  Trail Class 1- Minimal/ Undeveloped; Trail Class 2- Simple/Minor Development; Trail Class 3- Developed/Improved; Trail Class 4- Highly Developed; and Trail Class 5- Fully Developed.  These trail classes are assigned to existing trails according to the physical characteristics of the trail. The Forest Service has an estimated 133,000 miles of National Forest System Trails. The National Trail Class System is an internal agency tool that local Forest Service mangers use to designate trail classes at the field level.  The Trail Design Parameters are used as the technical guidelines for trail construction and maintenance.  Both of these tools are used internally by the Forest Service and are part of the national processes for evaluating the condition and design of Forest Service trails.  These tools are used by the Forest Service to consistently inventory and classify trails.  The Trails Classification System does not have any on-the-ground environmental impacts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Linear Right-of-Way Rental Payment Schedule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service (FS) is seeking public participation in the formulation of a proposed rule to update the linear right-of-way rental fee schedule authorized by 36 CFR 251.57 and set out in Forest Service Handbook 2709.12, chapter 30. Section 367 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the Act) directs the Secretary of Agriculture to, not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the Act on August 8, 2005, update the per-acre rental fee schedule. The rental fee schedule covers most linear rights-of-way granted under section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended, and title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended. Both laws require the holder of a right-of-way to pay annually, in advance, the fair market value to occupy, use, or traverse public lands, for facilities such as power lines, fiber optic lines, pipelines, roads, and ditches. The Act also requires the FS to revise the per-acre rental fee zone values by State, county, and type of linear right-of-way use to reflect current land values in each zone.  

The Secretary of the Interior is also required by the Act to make these same revisions for rights-of-way on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on April 27, 2006 (71 FR 24836).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to move existing Agency NEPA procedures required by 40 CFR 1507.3 from Forest Service Handbook 1909.15 to the CFR, add new procedures, and edit some existing procedures.  Presently, Forest Service procedures are combined with Agency guidance in FSH 1909.15 along with quotations from the Council on Environmental Quality regulations.  Having Agency NEPA procedures in regulations, separate from guidance, will make it easier for the Forest Service to provide guidance through the agency directive system.  Agency internal processes will continue to reside in FSH 1909.15 with references to both CEQ and Forest Service NEPA procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RPLAN_INFO>
            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to move existing agency NEPA procedures, required by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and codified at 40 CFR 1507.3, from the internal Forest Service Environmental Policy and Procedures Handbook (FSH) 1909.15 to the Code of Federal Regulations.  New procedures would be added and existing procedures would be revised where clarity is needed to incorporate CEQ guidance and align agency NEPA procedures with agency decision processes.

Presently, the Forest Service NEPA procedures are combined with Agency guidance in FSH 1909.15 along with quotations from the CEQ regulations.  This handbook contains general guidance such as how to select an interdisciplinary team, thereby associating guidance with NEPA procedures.  Guidance and quotes from the CEQ regulations are important to internal Agency work, but bear little similarity to the Agency procedures contemplated in the CEQ regulations (40 CFR 1507.3(b)).  Changes to Agency guidance in FSH 1909.15 currently involve consultation with CEQ because the handbook does not differentiate between NEPA guidance and "procedures."  This makes it more difficult to update simple guidance.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations (40 CFR 1507.3) direct Federal agencies to develop NEPA procedures to supplement the CEQ regulations. The CEQ regulations require agencies to provide for public notice and comment and CEQ consultation when developing and revising Agency NEPA procedures.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[A possible alternative would be to have the CEQ revise its regulations or seek legislative changes.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Codifying agency NEPA procedures in regulation, separate from guidance, would make it  easier for the Forest Service to provide guidance through the agency directive system. General guidance and internal processes would reside in the FSH 1909.15 handbook with references to both CEQ and Forest Service NEPA procedures set out in the CFR.  This will make future revisions to internal agency guidance more responsive to new ideas and information.  Having the agency NEPA procedures at the same level as the CEQ regulations would also give them equal status in court.

New procedures and revisions to existing procedures would further define how the agency must comply with NEPA where the CEQ regulations lack clarity, when additional CEQ guidance has been issued, or when there are more efficient or applicable procedures appropriate to Agency decisionmaking. With more flexibility in how NEPA documents are prepared, the NEPA process is expected to be more efficient and responsive to decision maker needs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[More NEPA procedural requirements could be added which would add to the present processes. Also, given that some of the proposed procedures would allow more flexibility and options to comply with NEPA, the results could be a more complex set of regulations for the field to understand.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is publishing a proposed agency directive to amend Forest Service Handbook 2709.11, section 41.53, regarding the administration of outfitting and guiding special use authorizations.  This action is being taken to simplify the application and administration process for temporary use permits; offer the same terms and conditions to educational and institutional permit holders as to other types of permit holders; clarify policy for priority use permits governing performance, inspections, and allocation of use; and develop a process for allocation of use on a first-come, first-served basis for temporary use permits to facilitate greater participation in outfitting and guiding by youth, educational, and religious groups.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ground Water Resource Management Policy Direction (Forest Service Manual, Chapter 2560 and Forest Service Handbook 2709.11)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In recent years, the USDA Forest Service has been receiving an increasing number of inquiries and applications to access ground water resources on National Forest System lands nationwide. With the need for water expected to continue increasing in most areas of the country, it is likely this trend will persist.  As a consequence, a need for national direction to ensure consistent and informed responses nationwide to ground water-related projects and proposals has been identified.  This direction would amend the Forest Service Manual by adding chapter 2560 and adding provisions to the Forest Service Special Uses Handbook 2709.11, chapters 10, 40, and 50.  The new manual section: Clarifies Agency responsibilities with respect to ground water issues; provides direction for consideration of ground water resources in decisionmaking, including water-well and water-pipeline applications, siting of public water supplies, and implementation of source water protection programs on NFS lands; initiates a policy of quantifying ground water withdrawals from NFS lands; establishes ground water data management requirements; and promotes sustainable use of ground water resources.  The new handbook provisions clarify implementation of the new manual direction for special uses activities involving ground water.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Forest Service Policy on Partner, Sponsor, and Donor Recognition (Forest Service Handbook 1509.14)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to publish a directive to Forest Service Handbook 1509.14 where consistent national direction regarding sponsorship and donor recognition can be established. The proposed policy will establish new guidelines for the acceptance, utilization, and recognition of donations.  The guidelines are intended to be practical standards under which the USDA Forest Service may fully use its donation acceptance authorities, while maintaining integrity, impartiality, and public confidence.

Donations are appropriate tools authorized by Congress for the Department and its bureaus to accomplish their missions.  The Departments policy is to accept, utilize, recognize, and solicit donations in a manner that promotes and enhances the Departments programs, activities, and operations, consistent with applicable law and the donation guidelines.  The policy will also set forth the Chiefs delegation of authority regarding donations and fundraising; establish roles and responsibilities for USDA FS employees who work with donors, fundraising partners, and potential donors; identify plans and agreements relating to philanthropic activities and explain when they are required to be used; establish criteria for consideration in accepting of donations; and provide general guidance on appropriate forms of donor recognition. The policy will also serve as guiding criteria for USDA FS employees conduct in relation to donation and sponsorship activities and fundraising campaigns which benefit the USDA FS.  The USDA FS seeks to ensure the integrity and appropriateness of donations and fundraising activities and add new direction on how partners are acknowledged for their contributions. This policy is to be used by USDA FS employees in tandem with the Partnership Guide.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Categorical Exclusion for Ski Area Resort Activities (FSH 1909.15, Chapter 30)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is publishing a proposed directive to amend Forest Service Handbook 1909.15, chapter 30, regarding categorical exclusions (CEs) from documentation under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).  Its purpose is to improve management efficiency for ski areas operating under special use authorization on National Forest System lands.  

Experience in environmental analysis of ski area developments has shown that many projects implementing a ski area master development plan or programmatic decision that was analyzed through an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) have not individually or cumulatively had a significant effect on the human environment.  In the majority of projects, the issues associated with ski areas arise from the initial development or expansion of an area rather than from implementing projects.

The current list of CEs in this handbook omits some activities that do not warrant additional analysis and therefore places an unnecessary cost burden on the Agency and ski area operators.  The Agency will review past environmental analyses to determine the types of implementing projects that typically do not have significant effects.  Examples may include lift replacement or modification, minor modification of existing ski trails and terrain, vegetation management, improving or replacing existing facilities, and minor construction within the permitted area.]]></ABSTRACT>

--Improve guidance for forest plan compliance with the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) implementing regulations for ecosystem and species conservation.
--Guide project level effects analysis and documentation for TES species.
--Modify objectives and policies for TES species and habitat conservation.
--Correct several definitions related to TES species and habitat conservation.
--Revise direction for Sensitive Species management.
--Update direction on the recovery of T&E species and streamline consultation.
--Incorporate new analysis principles of ecological risk assessment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Governor of Virginia submitted a petition to the Secretary of Agriculture under the provisions of the State Petitions for Inventoried Roadless Area Management, 36 CFR part 294, subpart B (2005 rule), adopted on May 5, 2005.  The Secretary accepted the Governor's petition and initiated a proposed rulemaking for the roadless areas in Virginia. This rulemaking would prohibit road construction and reconstruction and timber harvest in certain inventoried roadless areas on the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.  Exceptions to the prohibitions would be allowed for certain health, safety, resource protection, and ecological management needs.

However, on September 20, 2006, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California issued an order setting aside the 2005 rule and reinstating the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation rule (2001 rule). On September 22, 2006, the State of Wyoming filed a motion asking the Wyoming District Court, among other things, to reinstate its order enjoining the 2001 rule.  As a result of ongoing litigation, USDA has notified the States that they may consider submitting a new rulemaking petition for roadless area management under the generic petition provisions in the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(e)) and Agriculture Department regulation (7 CFR 1.28).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Areas; State-Specific Inventoried Roadless Area Management: Idaho</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 5, 2006, the Governor of Idaho submitted a petition under the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(e)) and Agriculture Department regulation (7 CFR 1.28) to promulgate regulations, in cooperation with the State, for management of 9.3 million acres of inventoried roadless areas within the State.  After review and recommendation by the Roadless Area Conservation National Advisory Committee, the Secretary accepted the Governors petition and initiated a proposed rulemaking for the roadless areas in Idaho.  The proposed rulemaking would manage Idahos inventoried roadless areas under four main themes listed from most restrictive to least: Wildland Recreation (1.4 million acres), Primitive (1.7 million acres), Backcountry (5.5 million acres), and General Forest (0.5 million acres).  The proposed rulemaking also will establish three important tribal and historical sites as Special Areas (0.2 million acres).  Road construction and reconstruction plus timber harvesting would be prohibited in certain inventoried roadless areas on the Boise, Caribou-Targhee, Clearwater, Idaho Panhandle, Kootenai (portions), Nez Perce, Payette, Salmon-Challis, Sawtooth, and Wallowa-Whitman (portions) National Forests in Idaho.  Exceptions to the prohibitions would be allowed for certain health, safety, valid existing rights, resource protection, and ecological management needs.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Department of Agriculture is committed to conserving and managing roadless values and considers inventoried roadless areas an important component of the National Forest System.  The roadless rule has been the subject of 10 lawsuits in Federal district courts in Idaho, Utah, North Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska, and the District of Columbia.  On July 14, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming found the 2001 roadless rule to be unlawful and ordered that the rule be permanently enjoined.  On May 13, 2005 the Forest Service promulgated the State Petitions Rule.  

The State Petitions Rule allowed Governors to voluntarily seek establishment of or adjustment of management requirements for National Forest System inventoried roadless areas within their States.  If a petition was not received within 18 months, inventoried roadless areas would be guided by individual land management plans.  In also established the Roadless Area Conservation National Advisory Committee (RACNAC) to make recommendations on State-petitions to the Secretary.  With the promulgation of the State Petitions Rule, the Tenth Circuit, which was reviewing an appeal by intervenors of the Wyoming courts decision, dismissed the case as moot.  Under the guidance of the State Petitions Rule the States of California, Idaho, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia filed a petition with the Secretary.  The Secretary instructed the Forest Service to enter into rulemaking for North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.  Two lawsuits were filed against the State Petitions Rule in the Federal district court for the Northern District of California.  

One suit was filed by the States of California, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington with the State of Montana being amicus curiae in support of plaintiffs; and the States of Alaska and Idaho are amici curiae to USDA.  The other lawsuit was filed by a coalition of environmental groups.  On September 20, 2006, the Federal district court enjoined the State Petitions Rule and reinstated the RACR.  In an effort to again re-enjoin the RACR, the State of Wyoming filed a second lawsuit in the Federal district court for Wyoming on January 12, 2007.  Oral hearing for this lawsuit is schedule for October 19.  With the reinstatement of RACR, the Under Secretary announced that interested States could still petition the Secretary pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §553(e) and 7 C.F.R. §1.28.  

On October 5, 2006, Idaho Governor James Risch resubmitted his petition under these authorities.  The RACNAC reviewed the petition and made recommendations to the Secretary on December 19, 2006.  On December 22, 2006, the Secretary directed the Forest Service to begin the rulemaking process with the State.  

Collaboratively working on the establishment of a State-specific roadless rule for the petitioning State will allow the State the level of management of inventoried roadless areas it seeks to best meet its needs in balance with the Departments and Forest Services goals for the conserving and managing roadless values nationally.  In addition, it will allow for the management of these lands in that State without being affected by other legal actions concerning the roadless rule or State Petitions Rule.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[On January 12, 2001, the Department of Agriculture promulgated the Roadless Area Conservation Rule (RACR) to provide for the conservation and management of approximately 58.5 million acres of inventoried roadless areas within the National Forest System under the principles of the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960.  The State of Idaho petitioned the Secretary pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §553(e) and 7 C.F.R. §1.28 for state-specific rules to replace this national rule in that State.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Forest Service is preparing environmental impact statements in support of the rulemaking effort.  Besides the proposed rule, two alternatives are being considered (1) continuation of the RACR for management of these inventoried roadless areas, and (2) using existing forest plans and future forest plan revisions to determine the management of these areas.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Three alternatives have been analyzed for benefits, costs, and distributional effects are:  2001 Roadless Rule, existing forest plan, and the proposed rule are analyzed.  A range of baseline conditions, represented by the 2001 Rule and existing forest plans alternatives, are adopted to characterize the mix of goods and services provided by National Forests and Grasslands in the near future in the absence of the proposed rule.  The proposed rule is programmatic in nature, consisting of direction for road construction, road reconstruction, timber harvesting, and discretionary mineral activities, which would be applied to future management activities on inventoried roadless areas in Idaho.  In general, the proposed rule does not affect the efficiency of individual operations or activities (e.g., individual timber sale) associated with forest resources and/or services, but may instead affect the number or extent of opportunities as a function of activities permitted on National Forest system lands.  Because the proposed rule does not prescribe site-specific activities, it is difficult to quantify the benefits under the different alternatives.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The rule is programmatic in nature and would constrain certain activities that would reduce roadless area characteristics.  Reducing or controlling the development of these lands will reduce the risk of environmental effects associated with development activities like road construction, timber harvesting, and mineral extraction.  Therefore soil, water, and air quality; sources of drinking water; diversity of plant and animal communities; habitat for threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species dependent on large, undisturbed areas of land; scenic quality; traditional cultural properties and sacred sites; and other locally unique characteristics would be maintained.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Land Management Planning Handbook, Forest Vegetation Resource Planning (FSH 1909.12, Chapter 60) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Makes minor changes on identifying lands generally suitable for timber production and long-term sustained-yield to FSH 1909.12--Land Management Planning Handbook, chapter 60--Forest Vegetation Resource Planning.  The need for these changes is based on reviews of proposed land management plans under the 2005 planning rule.  Changes include revising the category of lands generally not suitable for timber harvest from one general category into two subcategories: (1) Lands not suitable for timber harvest due to policy or physical and biological conditions and (2) timber harvest is not compatible with desired conditions and objectives.  In addition, clarifies areas where timber harvest, including salvage, is prohibited by statute, Executive order, regulation, or policy.  In addition, revises direction for estimating the long-term sustained-yield capacity (LTSYC) by clarifying that LTSYC must not be constrained by current budgets.  In addition, eliminates the unnecessary restriction that only the LTSYC for timber production lands (sec. 62.21) may be combined where a national forest has less than 200,000 acres of forest land on which timber production is identified as an objective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Publicly Managed Recreation Opportunities (Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2300, 2330, 2340)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The USDA Forest Service is responsible for managing its recreation program in compliance with the Agencys Organic Act (16 U.S.C. 551) and the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6801 to 6814). Therefore, the Forest Service proposes to amend Forest Service Manual (FSM) chapter 2300, which cites the authorities under which the Agency's recreation program operates, as well as the overarching objectives, policy, and responsibilities under those authorities. Changes would be made in FSM 2330, Publicly Managed Recreation Opportunities, to conform to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act and to clarify procedures for development of recreation sites on National Forest System lands. This proposed directive would assist Forest Service employees in consistently providing quality recreation sites, facilities, and customer service to the 192 million visitors each year to the National Forests and National Grasslands. Additionally, corresponding changes would be made in FSM 2340, Privately Provided Recreation Opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

It is the primary administrative basis for the internal management and control of all agency programs and the primary source of administrative direction to Forest Service employees.  In accordance with Executive Order 13422, which revised E.O. 12866 on regulatory planning and review and OMBs recent issuance of a bulletin on good guidance practices, as well as recent litigation regarding the publication of Forest Service directives for comment prior to issuance, the Forest Service plans to revise its regulation at title 36, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), at section 200.4, which describes the Forest Service administrative issuance system (the Directive System), its use and availability, and other types of permissible guidance.  Title 36 CFR, part 216, would also be revised to clarify when and how to involve the public in the formulation of Forest Service directives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Land Management Planning Handbook, Land Management Plan (FSH 1909.12, Chapter 10) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service plans to issue an interim directive to FSH 1909.12, chapter 10, which was last issued January 31, 2006, and in addition, plans to publish notice in the Federal Register of a 60-day comment period.  There is an immediate need to issue interim direction in the Forest Service Handbook to aid consistent interpretation and application of the direction on land management planning by agency personnel.  
The interim directive would make minor changes in the guidance for writing plan components, the monitoring program, and consideration of individual resources.  The need for these changes is based on reviews of proposed land management plans under the 2005 planning rule.  Specific changes include the guidance about writing desired conditions, objectives, and the suitability of areas.  For desired conditions, guidance is needed to require additional specificity.  For objectives, additional guidance is needed.  For suitability of areas, guidance is needed to require general suitability of variety of multiple uses, such as outdoor recreation, range, timber, watershed, or wildlife and fish purposes and not tools such as prescribed fire.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sacred Sites Management, Tribal Government Relations (FSM 1560)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To implement Executive Order (E.O.) 13007, Indian Sacred Sites, the Forest Service is preparing policy for managing sites located on National Forest System lands that are held sacred by Native American tribes and individuals.  This E.O. directs Federal agencies to (1) accommodate access to and ceremonial use of Indian sacred sites by Indian religious practitioners and (2) avoid adversely affecting the physical integrity of such sacred sites. Agencies are instructed to, where appropriate, maintain the confidentiality of sacred sites.  

The proposed policy also consolidates and incorporates the separate yet related aspects of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA), the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), and E.O. 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments).

The Forest Service plans to publish an interim directive to allow management of sacred sites in the spirit of E.O. 13007 while the final directive is being prepared.  The interim directive will be published with request for comment in the Federal Register, seeking feedback from the public and other government sources.  At the same time, the Forest Service will actively conduct consultation with Native American Tribes. Comments received will be considered after Tribal consultations are complete, for inclusion in a final directive to be set out in Forest Service Manual (FSM) 1560, Tribal Government Relations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Water Quality Management and Best Management Practices for Water and Soil Conservation </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A new servicewide handbook, Best Management Practices for Water and Soil Conservation, is proposed to provide consistent national guidance for implementing the Agencys nonpoint source pollution control program in accordance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly referred to as Clean Water Act; 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 311f et seq.), Department regulation (9500-007), and Agency policy (FSM 2532).  Minor revisions to Agency policy to acknowledge and institutionalize the new handbook are also expected.  

This program is not new for the Forest Service; however, the guidance is.  Existing regional BMPs, soil and water conservation practices, and monitoring programs that have proven to be successful are the foundation of the policy.  Common aspects of these programs are being combined to standardize and streamline current Forest Service nonpoint source water pollution prevention programs for improved efficiency, consistency, and reporting. 

The Forest Service National BMP Program has two parts:

  A set of BMPs that will encompass water resource protection measures for a full range of National Forest System land management activities.
  A monitoring program to determine if practices are implemented and effective at meeting water resource and beneficial use protection objectives.

Consolidating the many existing field-issued handbooks into a new servicewide directive is prompting both extensive internal review and a broad external review with interested publics.  These reviews are critical to the success of implementing a consistent, national program.    

The proposed directive is expected to provide more effective implementation of the Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, the 1982 and 2005 NFMA planning regulations, and Department and Agency policies for protecting water resources from point sources of pollution.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Habitat Planning and Evaluation, Big Horn Sheep vs Domestic Sheep</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A new policy will be included in the FSM 2620 chapter to provide guidance on management of native bighorn sheep if there is a potential to interact with domestic sheep. The guidance will outline procedures to design and implement collaborative processes to resolve potential management conflicts between native bighorn sheep and domestic sheep where contact and interaction between the two species may occur. The policy will identify possible participants in the collaborative process including livestock permittees, State Fish and Game and Agriculture agencies, sheep scientists, and relevant Forest Service wildlife and range personnel, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employees if threatened or endangered species are involved.  
The policy will identify information necessary to bring the collaborative process to design agreeable solutions when there are probable conflicts.  

Justification for Proposed Action (Market Failure or Other Problem Addressed, Objectives, Alternatives, Expected Results):  

There is currently no Agency policy providing guidance on resolving conflicts between native bighorn sheep and domestic sheep.  Scientific evidence suggests that when bighorn sheep come into contact with domestic sheep significant mortality among native bighorns is likely to occur.  An informal Forest Service white paper and Washington Office transmittal letter currently exists that provides useful information to craft a collaborative process to resolve potential conflicts.  However, this paper does not represent adopted Agency policy and confusion exists regarding the standing of this letter and paper.  Official Agency policy and procedures are needed to address potential conflicts should they occur.]]></ABSTRACT>

This revision is needed to:
	Clarify the objective of the BAER program. 
	Provide clear policy for regions/forests to conduct post-fire emergency      	stabilization while applying appropriate cost-constraints in order to avoid 	fire transfer of funds.
	Assign approval (decision) authority to the regional foresters (currently the WO director of WFW).
	Provide a definition of a BAER emergency.
	Define several other key terms. 
	Enumerate the program constraints.
	Clarify the distinction between the BAER and post-fire rehabilitation programs.
	Establish new process for the BAER program.

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Areas; State-Specific Inventoried Roadless Area Management:  Colorado</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 11, 2007, Governor of Colorado Ritter submitted a petition under the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(e)) and Agriculture Department regulation (7 CFR 1.28) to promulgate regulations, in cooperation with the State, for the management of inventoried roadless areas within the State of Colorado.  After review and recommendation by the Roadless Area Conservation National Advisory Committee, the Secretary accepted the Governors petition and initiated a proposed rulemaking for inventoried roadless areas in Colorado. The proposed rulemaking would manage Colorados inventoried roadless areas by prohibiting road building and tree cutting, with some exceptions, on 4.1 million acres of inventoried roadless areas in Colorado. The 4.1 million acres reflect the most updated IRA boundaries for Colorado, which incorporate planning rule revisions since 2001 on several Colorado national forests.  Inventoried roadless areas that are allocated to ski area special uses (approximately 10,000 acres) would also be removed from roadless designation.  Road construction and reconstruction plus timber harvesting would be prohibited in inventoried roadless areas, with some exceptions, on the Arapaho-Roosevelt, Grand Mesa-Uncompahgre, Gunnison, Manti-La Sal, Pike-San Isabel, Rio Grande, Routt, San Juan, and White River National Forests in Colorado. Exceptions to the prohibitions would be allowed for certain health, safety, valid existing rights, resource protection, and ecological management needs. 

The goal of the Department is to have the State-Specific Rule for Inventoried Roadless Areas in Colorado in place by September 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Department of Agriculture is committed to conserving and managing roadless values and considers inventoried roadless areas an important component of the National Forest System.  The roadless rule has been the subject of 10 lawsuits in Federal district courts in Idaho, Utah, North Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska, and the District of Columbia.  On July 14, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming found the 2001 roadless rule to be unlawful and ordered that the rule be permanently enjoined.  On May 13, 2005, the Forest Service promulgated the State Petitions Rule.  The State Petitions Rule allowed Governors to voluntarily seek establishment of or adjustment of management requirements for National Forest System inventoried roadless areas within their States.  If a petition was not received within 18 months, inventoried roadless areas would be guided by individual land management plans.  In also established the Roadless Area Conservation National Advisory Committee (RACNAC) to make recommendations on State-petitions to the Secretary.  With the promulgation of the State Petitions Rule, the Tenth Circuit, which was reviewing an appeal by intervenors of the Wyoming courts decision, dismissed the case as moot.  Under the guidance of the State Petitions Rule the States of California, Idaho, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia filed a petition with the Secretary.  The Secretary instructed the Forest Service to enter into rulemaking for North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.  Two lawsuits were filed against the State Petitions Rule in the Federal district court for the Northern District of California.  

One suit was filed by the States of California, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington with the State of Montana being amicus curiae in support of plaintiffs; and the States of Alaska and Idaho are amici curiae to USDA.  The other lawsuit was filed by a coalition of environmental groups.  On September 20, 2006, the Federal district court enjoined the State Petitions Rule and reinstated the roadless rule.  In an effort to again re-enjoin the roadless rule, the State of Wyoming filed a second lawsuit in the Federal district court for Wyoming on January 12, 2007.  Oral hearing for this lawsuit is schedule for October 19.  With the reinstatement of roadless rule, the Under Secretary announced that interested States could still petition the Secretary pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §553(e) and 7 C.F.R. §1.28.   On November 13, 2006, Colorado Governor Bill Owens submitted his petition under these authorities.  On April 11, 2007, Colorado Governor Bill Ritter resubmitted the petition with amendments.  The RACNAC reviewed the petition and made recommendations to the Secretary on August 2, 2007.  

Collaboratively working on the establishment of a State-specific roadless rule for the petitioning State will allow the State the level of management of inventoried roadless areas it seeks to best meet its needs in balance with the Departments and Forest Services goals for the conserving and managing roadless values nationally.  In addition, it will allow for the management of these lands in that State without being affected by other legal actions concerning the roadless rule or State Petitions Rule.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[On January 12, 2001, the Department of Agriculture promulgated the Roadless Area Conservation Rule to provide for the conservation and management of approximately 58.5 million acres of inventoried roadless areas within the National Forest System under the principles of the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960. The State of Colorado has petitioned the Secretary pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §553(e) and 7 C.F.R. §1.28 for state-specific rules to replace this national rule.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Forest Service is preparing environmental impact statements in support of the rulemaking effort.  Besides the proposed rule, two alternatives are being considered (1) continuation of the RACR for management of these inventoried roadless areas, and (2) using existing forest plans and future forest plan revisions to determine the management of these areas.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[It is anticipated that this proposed rule will not be an economically significant rule, and will not have an annual effect of $100 million or more on the economy nor adversely affect productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, nor State or local governments.  This proposed rule is not expected to interfere with an action taken or planned by another Agency nor raise new legal or policy issues.  This proposed rule will not alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients of such programs.  Furthermore, the proposed rule is programmatic in nature, consisting of direction for road construction, road reconstruction, timber harvesting, special uses including ski resorts, and discretionary mineral activities, which would be applied to future management activities on inventoried roadless areas in Colorado.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The rule is programmatic in nature and would constrain certain activities that would reduce roadless area characteristics.  Reducing or controlling the development of these lands will reduce the risk of environmental effects associated with development activities like road construction, timber harvesting, and mineral extraction.  Therefore soil, water, and air quality; sources of drinking water; diversity of plant and animal communities; habitat for threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species dependent on large, undisturbed areas of land; scenic quality; traditional cultural properties and sacred sites; and other locally unique characteristics would be maintained.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Law Enforcement Prohibitions </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Description of Proposed Action:

On February 16, 1994, the Forest Service published a proposed rule amending 36 CFR part 261 and 262 (59 FR 7880).  Comments received on the 1994 proposed rule were considered in this proposed rule to part 261.  In addition to the issues raised in 1994, the Forest Service reviewed 36 CFR part 261 as part of the regulatory reinvention effort to determine the rules applicability in view of changing laws, resource conditions, evolving public safety issues, and other factors affecting management of National Forest System lands.  This proposed rule change plans to clarify and move regulations currently located in 36 CFR part 261 subpart B to subpart A regarding the possession of controlled substances, State alcohol prohibitions, and the operation of motor vehicles on National Forest System roads and trails.  In addition, the penalty portion of 36 CFR 261.1b will be corrected to reflect current Federal sentencing guidelines for fine amounts pursuant to title 18 United States Code 3571, establish some additional definitions for clarification, and make minor technical corrections in subpart A.
 
Justification for Proposed Action (Market Failure or Other Problem Addressed, Objectives, Alternatives, Expected Results):  

Evolving demographics, increased visitor use, and corresponding public safety issues require regulatory enforcement be readily at the disposal and deployment of the Forest Service to help ensure a safe and quality environment for all visitors.  Currently, Forests and Districts incur time, process, and renewal constraints to enforce the primary public safety issues under 36 CFR subpart B guidelines, within the scope of Special Orders.  By clarifying and moving these public safety regulations to 36 CFR part 261, subpart A, they will become permanent and available at all operating levels and eliminate the need for continual renewal.  Subpart B Special Orders are normally intended to temporarily address an enforcement issue.  The proposed rule would clarify and move several existing prohibitions currently located in 36 CFR 261, subpart B, and relegate them to 36 CFR subpart A.

The Forest Service is publishing in the Federal Register for notice and comment, proposed changes to the prohibitions at 36 CFR 261, subparts A and B.  This proposal is necessary to enable units to apply prohibitions promoting public safety, provide both regional and national law enforcement consistency, and provide congruency with State laws governing the possession of controlled substances, State prohibitions regarding alcohol, and the operation of motor vehicles on National Forest System roads and trails.  The Forest Service will make every effort to ensure that all local, State, and Federal law enforcement organizations, State and Federal court system agencies, and other interested parties are informed of the availability of the proposed rule when they are published in the Federal Register.  In order to ensure the widest distribution, the Forest service intends to distribute the proposed rule through direct paper copy mailings, e-mail notices, and the posting of pertinent information on the Forest Services Internet website.  Copies of the proposed rule will also be provided to the appropriate congressional committees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Invasive Species Management </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The goal of the USDA Forest Service invasive species program is to reduce, minimize, or eliminate the potential for introduction, establishment, spread, and impact of invasive species across all landscapes and ownerships.   

The Department of Agricultures national invasive species program allows the Forest Service to take action against invasive species threats, yet no specific invasive species management policy has been developed to provide the broad guidance necessary for Agency activities addressing aquatic and terrestrial invasive species impacting the National Forest System lands or other areas of jurisdiction.  The objective of this proposed action is to develop a Forest Service Manual chapter for invasive species management, and an accompanying Forest Service Handbook to provide a solid foundation on which to build a more effective invasive species program and meet the defined program goal.  This policy will support both departmental and Agency-specific strategic plan goals and objectives for invasive species management.]]></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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Noncompetitive Sale of Timber; Timber Substitution</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise 36 CFR 223.85 by changing the reference to 16 U.S.C. 472(d) to 16 U.S.C. 472a(d).  This proposed rule would revise the existing regulations regarding noncompetitive sale of timber based on the Secretary of Agriculture's determination that "extraordinary conditions" exist to apply to sales Agency-wide.  This proposed rule would add paragraph (c), which further defines extraordinary conditions to allow forest officers, without advertisement, to make modifications to awarded timber and forest product sales, which result in the substitution of timber or forest products from outside the sale area specified in the contract. This would be applied to situations where replacement timber from outside the sale area could be substituted for timber lost as a result of litigation or catastrophic events.  Substitute timber or forest products must be from the same national forest and meet agency requirements for compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act; the National Forest Management Act; and notice, comment, and appeal procedures at 36 CFR part 215. This proposed rule would authorize the Forest Service to propose timber sale modifications and to enter into discussions with purchasers on such modifications. But, timber purchasers would not be obligated to accept any proposed modifications. 

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>Sale and Disposal of National Forest System Timber; Timber Sale Contracts; Modification of Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is adopting a final rule at part 223, subpart B, of title 36 Code of Federal Regulations, section 223.112.  This final rule authorizes timber sale contracting officers to modify contracts to provide a redetermination of stumpage rates and deposits to reflect significant timber market declines.  This rule applies to existing timber sale contracts awarded after October 1, 1995, that have been suspended for more than 90 days, during the normal operating season because of administrative appeals or litigation, through no fault of the timber purchaser.

This final rule provides relief for purchasers in this situation by enabling them to obtain stumpage rate redeterminations to continue existing contracts after the suspension has been lifted to ensure the economic viability of the sale.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is publishing final revisions to its directives on predator damage management in wilderness.  Guidance to Forest officers in the management of predator damage in wilderness areas is contained in the Forest Service Manual (FSM) title 2300, Recreation, Wilderness, and Related Resources Management and FSM 2600, Wildlife, Fish, and Sensitive Plant Habitat Management.  These revisions conform Agency policy regarding predator damage management in wilderness with provisions in an interdepartmental Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services Division and the USDA Forest Service.  The MOU, initiated in 1993, was renewed in 1998, and again in 2004, with minor revisions.  The revisions also bring FSM 2320 into conformance with FSM 2650, which was revised in 1995 (60 FR 22037).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarifying Prohibitions Against Damage to the National Forest by Escaped Fires</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service amends 36 CFR 261.1, 261.2, and 261.5 to clarify that strict liability will be applied to a person who commits a prohibited action under section 261 that results in a fire escaping and damaging or threatening National Forest System lands.

In addition, the CFR is amended to clarify that a person conducting a legitimate prescribed fire on private or public lands adjacent to National Forest System Lands will be subject to the Model Penal Code standard of negligence.  This will bring the law enforcement action in line with the objectives and goals of the National Fire Plan and the Healthy Forest Initiative by assuring those who conduct those activities with due diligence that they will not be subject to a strict liability interpretation in 36 CFR 261.5.

The comment period has ended following publication of the proposed rule in the Federal Register.  Two comments in support of this clarification were received and will be considered in the publication of the Final Rule.  Based on the two comments, no changes will be made to the proposed rule.

Justification for Proposed Action (Market Failure or Other Problem Addressed, Objectives, Alternatives, Expected Results):

These sections of 36 CFR 261 have not been interpreted consistently in the courts.  We intend to achieve consistency in application and interpretation by amending the CFR to align with the Model Penal Code definitions of criminal intent.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Piscicide Applications on National Forest System Lands </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[State Fish and Game agencies typically use piscicides as a tool for managing fish populations in water bodies of the U.S.  At times, these State agencies apply piscicides when they conduct fisheries management on water within the National Forest Systems lands.  Current regulations at 36 CFR 251.5 and 261.9(f) require permits for all land uses and prohibit the use of any pesticide on National Forest System lands ". . . except for personal use as an insect repellent or as provided by special-use authorization for other minor uses."  The wording in these regulations has led to confusion and inconsistent application of Forest Service piscicide-use policies that has delayed restoration projects and strained working relationships with State cooperators.  

Therefore, the Forest Service is proposing that the regulations at 36 CFR part 241 (Fish and Wildlife), 36 CFR part 251, subpart B, (Special Uses, 251.50(a)), and 36 CFR part 261, subpart A (General Prohibitions, 36 CFR 261.9(f)) be modified to allow State Game and Fish agencies to apply piscicides without first having to obtain a special use authorization, under certain conditions.  A special use authorization would still be required for piscicide application within wilderness areas.  The regulation will produce an efficient and standardized national approach for the application of piscicides by State agencies on National Forest System lands while retaining the Forest Service's authority over such use.

Eliminating the Forest Service special use authorization requirement for this use is not expected to change the frequency of piscicide applications on National Forest System lands or change how piscicides are used.  States are required to comply with other Federal laws when applying piscicides, such as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended. 

Justification:  In response to public comments on the Proposed Rule, the Forest Service is evaluating whether the proposed rule would require NEPA analysis of the alternatives and documentation in an environmental assessment or Environmental Impact Statement before publishing a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Travel Management (Forest Service Manual 2300 and 7700)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service will publish final directives to implement the new Travel Management rule (36 CFR 212) including the following sections of the FSM and FSH:

FSM 2350  Trail, River, and Similar Recreation Opportunities
FSM 7700 Zero Code  Travel Management
FSM 7710  Travel Planning
FSM 7730  Road Operation and Maintenance
FSH 7709.55  Travel Analysis Handbook

The changes are needed to provide guidance on implementation of the final Travel Management regulation, conform terminology to the rule, and provide consistent direction on the process of designating roads, trails, and areas for motor vehicle use.

The final changes consolidate policy for travel planning for roads and trails in FSM 7710, while retaining separate chapters related to operations and maintenance for roads (FSM 7730) and trails (FSM 2350).  The changes would expand the scope of the current roads analysis process to encompass motorized trails and areas, while streamlining travel analysis to ensure that it is completed in a timely manner.

The proposed directives were published and a total of 33 comments were received.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is publishing a final directive to Forest Service Manual 2343.03 regarding (1) advertising in concessions involving privately developed facilities operated under special use authorization on National Forest System (NFS) lands and (2) sponsorship of new public services associated with those concessions. With respect to advertising, the current policy addresses only exterior advertising while the final directive adds direction to allow the permit holder to advertise inside buildings and other interior spaces owned by the holder.  With respect to sponsorship, the final directive adds new direction on sponsorships that promote public participation in the management of NFS lands.  The final directive describes the duration, location, and content of recognition of sponsors.  Additionally, the final directive addresses special events and waives a prohibition on exterior advertising during a short-term event and requires the holder to not display the Forest Service shield or other Agency symbol in conjunction with product names, services, and advertising.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing a revision of its policy procedures in Forest Service Handbook 2409.18, Timber Sale Preparation Handbook, chapter 90, Programs With Small Business Administration, to drop structural changes in the Forest Service Directives.  This proposed revision would better reflect the current timber sale program, make the recomputation process as fair as possible, and simplify the process by which market share is determined.  This proposed policy change would not affect scheduled recomputations and special recomputations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sensitive Species and Endangered Species Act Consultation for Land Management Plans (Forest Service Manual 2670)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service needs to issue an interim directive to clarify sensitive species and Endangered Species Act consultation management with the 2005 Planning Rule prior to the approval of the first Forest Land Management Plan (LMP) under the 2005 National Forest Management Act (NFMA) Planning Rule.  The Agency anticipates that the first LMP will be approved in late summer or autumn of 2006.  After consideration of comments, the direction subsequently would be issued in a comprehensive amendment to Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2670.  Direction issued to sections FSM 2670.45 and FSM 2670.46 would add responsibilities for those Forest Supervisors and District Rangers who prepare Land Management Plans under the 2005 National Forest Management Act (NFMA) Planning Rule.  The interim directive would describe changes necessary because of the different mechanisms and procedures in the 2005 NFMA Planning Rule to accomplish the plant community diversity and other requirements of the NFMA, and because these mechanisms and procedures are intended to implement the 2005 NFMA Planning Rule rather than the 1982 Planning Rule.  The new policy would read, "The provisions contained in the FSM 2670 that apply to sensitive species and to conducting a biological evaluation for Land Management Plan (LMP) decisions made under the 2005 Planning Rule, do not apply to that LMP, once the plan is approved."  Direction issued to sections FSM 2670.45 and FSM 2670.46  would add responsibilities for those Forest Supervisors and District Rangers who prepare Land Management Plans under the 2005 National Forest Management Act (NFMA) Planning Rule.  The change is necessary because, by themselves, such LMPs have no effect on listed species or designated critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act that can be meaningfully identified and evaluated. The new policy would state, "A forest that revises its Land Management Plan (LMP) under the 2005 NFMA Planning Rule is subject to its regulations at 36 CFR 219.10, and to direction in FSM 1921.73, Ecological Evaluation of Sustainability, and Forest Service Handbook 1909.12, Land Management Planning Handbook.  As a result, there would be no basis to request an ESA section 7(a)(2) jeopardy consultation on the LMP.  In addition, all provisions contained in FSM 2670 that refer to identifying effects of forest plans to endangered and threatened species, to not jeopardizing species, or to using section 7(a)(2) formal consultation, do not apply to the development, amendment, revision, or implementation of LMPs.  Collaboration with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service under section 7(a)(1) on LMP programs for the conservation of endangered and threatened species would continue."
The proposed changes are expected to provide more effective implementation of the 1982 and 2005 NFMA planning regulations and a better field understanding of applicable policies on these topics.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to provide notice and seek comment from the public on the 2005 planning rule (70 FR 1022) as published in the Federal Register on January 5, 2005.  This action responds to an order dated March 30, 2007 by Phyllis J. Hamilton, United States District Court Judge in Citizens for Better Forestry et al. v. US DA  (N.D. Calif.)).  The judge enjoined the USDA from implementation and utilization of the 2005 planning rule until it provides notice and comment and complies with APA, ESA, and NEPA.    The rule, cost benefit analysis, and civil rights impact analysis have been cleared by the Department and OMB as documented in the January 5, 2005 Federal Register notice.  

This action is a continuation of the 2005 planning rule that describes the National Forest System land management planning framework; establishes requirements for sustainability of social, economic, and ecological systems and developing, amending, revising, and monitoring land management plans; and clarifies that land management plans under this final rule, absent extraordinary circumstances, are strategic in nature and are one stage in an adaptive cycle of planning for management of National Forest System lands.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Forest Service is providing notice and opportunity for comment on a proposed rule for National Forest System land management planning, and then adopting a final rule at 36 CFR 219, subpart A.  This rulemaking is the result of a U.S. district court order dated March 30, 2007, which enjoined the United States Department of Agriculture from implementation and utilization of the land management planning rule published in 2005 (70 FR1023) until it complies with the courts order regarding the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act (Citizens for Better Forestry et al. v. USDA, C.A. C05-1144 (N. D. Cal.)).  The purpose of this rulemaking is to respond to the courts ruling about notice and comment requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act by publishing the 2005 rule as a proposed rule.  In addition, the Agency is preparing an environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy Act and will comply with the courts order regarding the Endangered Species Act. 

The Agency is committed to transparent rulemaking and public participation, and provided a notice and comment period for the proposed 2005 rule (December 6, 2002, 67 FR 72770).  In the final 2005 rule, the Agency changed the provisions for timber management requirements, changed the provisions for making changes to the monitoring program, and added provisions for environmental management system (EMS).  The Environmental Management System provisions require the Agency to define a structure and system of organizational activities, responsibilities, practices, and procedures for carrying out the Agency environmental policy.  The court found that the proposed rule did not provide sufficient notice to the public of these changes to the final rule such that the final rule was not the logical outgrowth of the proposed rule.  Therefore, the Agency is providing notice and seeking comment on a proposed rule that is essentially identical to the 2005 final rule, including the changes made to the final 2005 planning rule. 

Regarding NEPA, the court further found that the 2005 planning rule did not fit the Agencys categorical exclusion for servicewide administrative procedures.  That categorical exclusion, developed with public participation, is a recognized method of NEPA compliance.  Under the courts order, however, further environmental analysis under NEPA is required.  The Agency published a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement in the Federal Register on May 11, 2007 (72 FR 26775), to start the public involvement process pursuant to NEPA.]]></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 draft environmental impact statement accompanying the proposed rule documents detailed analysis of the proposed rule and four other alternatives.  Those other alternatives are the 2000 planning rule, the 1982 planning rule, and two variations of the 2005 planning rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Annualized costs of implementing the proposed rule (2005 rule) have been estimated and discounted at three percent and seven percent discount rates for the period 2008 to 2022.  Those discounted costs are $99 million at three percent and $99.2 million at seven percent.  This represents an estimated annualized savings over the 2000 rule of $30 million at three percent and $28 million at seven percent.

Numerous non-quantifiable benefits are expected to result from the final planning rule.  The overall goal of the proposed rule is more clearly based on the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act (MUSYA) and better describes the relationship of the MUSYA to sustainability.  This feature more clearly defines Agency responsibilities to weigh and balance uses of NFS lands for the benefit of the American people.  The proposed rule is based on a stronger emphasis on working with the public, other Federal agencies, federally recognized Indian Tribes, and others, and should result in more social satisfaction with Agency efforts and management.  The incorporation of ecologically-based management principles, improved monitoring and evaluation, and consideration of science in planning, should result in a flexible process that reduces the burden on both the public and the Agency.  An efficient planning process that addresses public concerns and leads to improved health of public lands has value beyond the cost savings estimated in the analysis.  Therefore, it is highly likely that the proposed rule is beneficial to the public interest.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The Forest Service is responsible for managing the lands and resources of the National Forest System (NFS), which include 193 million acres in 44 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The NFS is composed of 155 national forests, 20 national grasslands, one national prairie, and other miscellaneous lands under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture (the Secretary). The planning rule would establish administrative procedures whereby land management plans for NFS units are developed, revised, and amended. 

The 2005 planning rule was developed to take advantage of the experience gained from 25 years of implementing the National Forest Management Act.  The rule improves on both the 1982 and 2000 planning rules.  The findings from two reviews of the 2000 planning rule can be summarized as follows: it has both definitions and analytical requirements that are very complex, unclear, and, therefore, subject to inconsistent implementation across the Agency; compliance with the regulatory direction on such matters as ecological sustainability and science consistency checks would be difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish; and, the complexity of the 2000 rule makes it difficult and expensive to implement.  This newest planning rule is intended to provide a planning process that is readily understood, is within the Agency's capability to implement, is consistent with the capabilities of National Forest System lands, recognizes the strategic programmatic nature of planning, and meets the intent of the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) while making cost effective and efficient use of resources allocated to the Agency for land management planning.  Absent this rule, the Agency would have to continue to use the 2000 rule with all of its identified deficiencies.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Resource Agency Procedures for Conditions and Prescriptions in Hydropower Licenses </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-58) contains provisions requiring a trial-type hearing to resolve disputed issues of material fact related to mandatory conditions and prescriptions required under the issuance of a Federal hydropower license.  The law also mandates that the Agency consider alternatives to proposed mandatory conditions and prescriptions.  This law charges agencies requiring mandatory conditions and prescriptions with the promulgation of new regulations by November 7, 2005, to provide the regulatory framework to implement the trial-type hearing process. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, acting through the Forest Service, is one of the agencies required under the Act to provide a trial-type hearing and issue an implementing regulation.  To meet the statutory deadline, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, along with the U.S. Departments of the Interior and Commerce, issued a joint interim final rule. The Department of the Interior is the lead agency in this effort.

     The Forest Service adopted an interim final rule at 7 CFR part 1 establishing a trial-type hearing procedure to resolve disputed issues of material fact related to mandatory conditions and prescriptions required under the issuance of a Federal hydropower license.  The interim final rule also provides a process for the filing of proposed alternative conditions and prescriptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 108-278, the Tribal Forest Protection Act, authorizes the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture, upon request of an Indian tribe, to enter into an agreement or contract to carry out a project to protect Indian forest land that meets specified criteria.  The law also authorizes the Secretaries to issue public notice of initiation of any necessary environmental review or of the potential of entering into such an agreement or contract under which the Indian tribe would carry out certain activities.  It authorizes the appropriate Secretary to enter into such an agreement or contract following completion of any necessary environmental analysis.

The Forest Service (FS) has re-issued an interim directive (ID) to Forest Service Handbook 2409.19 establishing guidance for evaluating proposals submitted by tribes.  The intended effect of issuance of this ID is to provide consistent overall guidance to FS employees regarding tribal proposals.  Forest Service is seeking comments on this interim directive to ensure that issues or deficiencies are addressed.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Forest Service proposes to update FSM 2360, Special Interest Areas, to conform to the national Historic Preservation Act, and other applicable statutes, to clarify procedures for compliance with requirements of the law(s) when operating on National Forest System lands, and to streamline consultation with State and tribal Historic Preservation Offices.  This Manual revision will reduce process barriers and provide greater consistency across units of the Forest Service. Significant revision is required to bring the Manual and Handbook direction up to date, allowing the Agency to enter into Programmatic Agreements with State and tribal historic preservation offices, simplifying and shortening existing process cycle time.]]></ABSTRACT>

Therefore, the Forest Service plans to solicit public input on a draft strategy that outlines proposed next steps and priorities for the Agency on open space conservation.  This strategy would help guide Agency actions to address the loss of open space threat, which was identified as one of four great threats facing our Nations forests.

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Conducting 5-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 would 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>

Specifically, the Department  amends its regulations as follows: (1) To reflect a transfer in the function of receiving submissions filed in D/CVD proceedings from the Central Records Unit to the Administrative Protective Order (APO) Unit, and to change the name of the APO Unit to APO/Dockets Unit; (2) to reflect a transfer in the function of maintaining public service lists from the Central Records Unit to the APO/Dockets Unit; (3) to update the definition of Customs Service to reflect the reorganization of the Executive Branch; (4) to clarify that documents filed with the Department will only be time stamped when appropriate, for example, when an interested party submits a request for treatment as a voluntary respondent; (5) to clarify when a party must serve business proprietary information already on the administrative record to new authorized applicants to the APO; (7) to require a formal letter of appearance to request being placed on the service list of any segment of an AD/CVD proceeding; (8) to clarify when a party is to be considered an interested party for the purposes of the APO; and (9) to require importers to submit documentary evidence to confirm their status as an interested party, and thus eligibility for APO access.  Finally, the Department amends its short form application for an APO (Form ITA-367).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Availability of Fabric and Yarn</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This 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), 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 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 rule also outlines the factors to be considered by the Committee in extending quota- and duty-free treatment.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action would amend the regulations by updating the maximum total value of watch components per watch that are eligible for duty-free entry into the United States under the insular program, further clarifying the definition of creditable and non-creditable wages and fringe benefits, provide more details about the calculation of mid-year and annual duty-refund and the verification process, and make minor editorial changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Naval Surf-Zone Explosive Ordnance Disposal School Training Operations at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a request from Eglin Air Force Base (EAFB) to take marine mammals by Level B harassment incidental to Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School (NEODS) training operations, which include up to 30 detonations per year of small C-4 charges, off Santa Rosa Island (SRI) at EAFB.  This action would implement regulations to govern that take.  In order to issue a Letter of Authorization (LOA) and issue final regulations governing the take, NMFS must determine that the taking will have a negligible impact on the species or stocks and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of such species or stock for taking for subsistence uses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) 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 issuing of 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>Maximize Retention and Monitoring Program in the Shore-Based Pacific Whiting Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) at their October 21-25, 1996, meeting in San Francisco, California, addressed the treatment and disposition of salmon in the groundfish trawl fisheries, specifically the shore-based whiting fishery.  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, the National Marine Fisheries Service 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.  The need for implementing a permanent monitoring program in the shore-based Pacific 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental To Assessing Naval Ship Survivability</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) expects to receive a request from the U.S. Navy for an authorization under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to take marine mammals, by harassment, injury, and possible mortality, incidental to conducting a shock trial along the U.S. East Coast/Gulf of Mexico.  Shock trials are required to test the survivability of naval ship assets in accordance with section 2366, Title 10 United States Code.  As a result of this request, NMFS will propose new regulations, that if implemented, would govern the incidental taking of marine mammals by the Navy for this activity.  In order to promulgate regulations and issue an Letter of Authorization thereunder, NMFS must determine that the takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a request from the U.S. Navy for an authorization under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to take marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to deployment of a Naval At-Sea Gunnery Scoring System for the purpose of proficiency certification of U.S. Atlantic Fleet ships for naval surface fire support both within and seaward of established military operating areas.  As a result of this request, NMFS is proposing regulations, that if implemented, would govern the incidental taking of marine mammals by the Navy.  In order to promulgate regulations and issue Letters of Authorization thereunder, NMFS must determine that these takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Joint Amendment to the Fishery Management Plans for the Shrimp (Amendment 14) and Reef Fish Fisheries (Amendment 27) of the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Shrimp and reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico are managed under their respective FMPs. Both fisheries contribute to fishing mortality on reef fish, especially juvenile and undersized red snapper.  Age-0 and Age-1 red snapper are taken by shrimp trawls, and Age-2 and older red snapper are caught in the directed commercial and recreational red snapper fishery.  Red snapper is overfished and undergoing overfishing, and reducing fishing mortality on these younger age classes is needed to help rebuild the stock.  Actions to reduce bycatch of red snapper are anticipated to reduce bycatch fishing mortality for other reef fish species as well.  The Gulf Council began work on the joint amendment, which will consider a variety of harvesting and gear restrictions to further reduce fishing mortality and fishing effort in the shrimp and red snapper fisheries.  In August 2006, the Gulf Council deferred working on this amendment until new information was available in January 2007.  However, by postponing the development of a plan amendment, measures to address overfishing during the 2007 fishing season would not occur, further delaying progress in stock recovery.  Thus, to address overfishing on the red snapper stock for 2007, NMFS is developing this interim rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

The biomass of black coral there has declined from several factors, including fishing.  This action would remove an exemption that allows the harvest of black corals with a minimum base diameter of 0.75 inch or minimum height of 36 inches by persons who reported harvest to the State of Hawaii within the five years prior to April 17, 2002.  The current minimum base diameter requirement of 1 inch or minimum height of 48 inches would remain in effect.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>BSAI Amendment 73 and GOA Amendment 77 FMP To Revise Management Authority of Dark Rockfish</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This amendment would remove dark rockfish (Sebastes ciliatus) from the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) groundfish fishery management plans (FMPs).  The State of Alaska would then assume management of dark rockfish in the BSAI and GOA.  Regulatory amendments are needed to implement these FMP amendments to remove dark rockfish from Table 2a of 50 CFR part 679 (FMP species) to add dark rockfish to Table 2d of 50 CFR part 679 (non-FMP species).  The regulations implementing Amendment 73/77 also would revise the scientific name and species code for dusky rockfish on Table 2a to 50 CFR part 679.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 12 to the Coastal Pelagic Species (CPS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Pacific Fishery Management Council amends its Coastal Pelagic Species (CPS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to ensure the protection of krill and the resources which depend on or are sensitive to the abundance and availability of krill off the West Coast.  The Amendment would add krill to the management unit species of the CPS FMP, establish a prohibited harvest category of management unit species in the CPS FMP, place krill in the prohibited harvest category and thus prohibit the harvest and retention of krill in the exclusive economic zone, and deny the use of the exempted fishing permit process under the CPS FMP to allow krill fishing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 14 would establish a series of 8 Type II Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Federal waters in the South Atlantic.  The MPAs range in size from 8 square nautical miles to 150 square nautical miles, and would be distributed from North Carolina south to the Florida Keys.  Within the MPAs, fishing for or retention of species in the snapper-grouper management complex would be prohibited, as would the use of shark bottom longline fishing gear.  Trolling for pelagic species such as tuna, dolphin, and mackerel would be allowed within the MPAs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Adjustment to the Bycatch Reduction Criterion for the Fishery Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) developed Amendment 9 to the Shrimp FMP, which established a requirement for the use of Bycatch Reduction Devices (BRDs) in the shrimp fishery of the western Gulf of Mexico.  Amendment 9 also established criteria by which BRDs would be tested and certified for use in the shrimp fishery of the western Gulf of Mexico.  Since that time, many changes have occurred in both the directed red snapper fishery and the shrimp fishery to affect the fishing mortality reduction requirements.  Because of changes in the shrimp fishery, existing certified BRDs reduce fishing mortality by a lesser amount than originally documented, and no new BRDs have been developed for use in the shrimp fishery.  NMFS is taking this action to modify the existing BRD certification criteria.  The intent of this change is to better address reductions in bycatch of red snapper, and to better address National Standard 9 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

The purse seine fishery will be closed for 6 weeks and any national longline fishery which reaches a catch level for bigeye tuna equal to the 2001 catch levels will also be closed.  The intended effect of this rule is to establish prohibition of U.S. vessels purse seine fishing for tuna in the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) Convention Area from November 20 to December 31 period, and to announce the closure of the U.S. longline fishery.  This will conform to the IATTC recommendation that was approved by the State Department.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed 4(d) rule represents the regulations that we, the NMFS, believe are necessary and advisable to conserve threatened elkhorn and staghorn corals.  The proposed 4(d) protective regulations would apply the take prohibitions enumerated in section 9(a)(1) of the ESA in most circumstances to the two listed threatened coral species.  We do not find it necessary or advisable to apply the take prohibitions to specified categories of activities that contribute to conserving listed corals or are governed by a program that adequately limits impacts on listed corals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Essential Fish Habitat</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would update Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS).  This rulemaking would consider alternatives for different EFH identifications and descriptions, analyze fishing and non-fishing impacts on any resulting changes to EFH, and consider measures to minimize any adverse fishing and non-fishing impacts on the revised EFH.  EFH for Atlantic HMS was originally identified and described in the 1999 Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Atlantic Tunas, Swordfish, and Sharks, and in the 1999 Amendment 1 to the Atlantic Billfish FMP.  As part of the 5-year review and update required by the EFH regulatory guidelines, NMFS reviewed all new and existing EFH data in the Consolidated HMS FMP and determined that changes to existing EFH may be warranted.  This rulemaking would constitute the second phase of the 5-year review and update by potentially modifying some of the existing EFH.  This action is not significant under the meaning of E.O. 12866 since it is below the economic threshold of impact and has no novel policy issues associated with it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protective Regulations for Killer Whales in the Northwest Region Under the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is considering regulations to protect killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Pacific Northwest.  The Southern Resident Killer Whale distinct population segment (DPS) was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) on November 18, 2005 (70 FR 69903).  In the final rule announcing the listing, NMFS identified vessel effects, including direct interference and sound, as a potential contributing factor in the recent decline of this population.  Both the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and the ESA prohibit take, including harassment, of killer whales, but these statutes do not prohibit specified acts.  NMFS is now considering regulations that would prohibit certain acts, under our general authorities under the ESA and MMPA and their implementing regulations.  The Proposed Recovery Plan for Southern Resident Killer Whales (71 FR 69101; Nov. 29, 2006) includes as a management action the evaluation of current guidelines and the need for regulations and/or protected areas.  The scope of this rulemaking encompasses the activities of any person or conveyance that may result in the unauthorized taking of killer whales and/or that may cause detrimental individual-level and population-level impacts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 12, 2007, the President signed the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006, which requires the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of that Act, to amend the Fishery Management Plan for the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs (FMP) to authorize conversion of catcher vessel owner quota shares and processor quota shares to newly created North Region catcher/processor owner quota shares.  Proposed Amendment 25 to the FMP would satisfy this requirement.  Proposed Amendment 25 to the Fishery Management Plan in the BSAI King and Tanner Crab Fisheries would promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the FMP, and other applicable laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 1 to the West Coast Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP), combined with the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council's Amendment 14 will address Pacific-wide overfishing of Pacific bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus).  This action is necessary per requirements contained in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), which requires protection for, and an end to overfishing of species managed under a Federal FMP.  Amendment 1 also would reorganize the HMS FMP to create a more user-friendly document as the current form is a combined FMP with the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), which evaluates the effects of its implementation.  In addition to addressing overfishing of bigeye tuna, the reorganized FMP retains the management program elements required by the Magnuson-Stevens Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reef Fish Amendment 30A for Greater Amberjack and Gray Triggerfish: TAC Adjustments, Measures To End Overfishing and Establish SFA Parameters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Greater amberjack are under a rebuilding plan.  A 2006 stock assessment (SEDAR 9) concluded the stock is not recovering as projected.  It continues to be overfished and is undergoing overfishing.  Adjustments to TAC and management measures are needed to end overfishing and bring the recovery of the greater amberjack stock back into compliance with its 10-year rebuilding time frame.  Gray triggerfish were determined to be undergoing overfishing based on a 2006 stock assessment (SEDAR 9).  Management measures are necessary to end overfishing of gray triggerfish.  Additionally, the Council has not yet approved post-Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA) benchmarks and reference points for gray triggerfish.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Species; Designation of Critical Habitat for Elkhorn and Staghorn Corals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service proposes to designate critical habitat for elkhorn and staghorn corals, which we recently listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  Areas proposed for designation will be within the current geographic ranges of these species that are under U.S. jurisdiction, including areas in Southeast Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Comments from the public on all aspects of the proposal, including information on the economic, national security, and other relevant impacts of the proposed designation, as well as the benefits to elkhorn and staghorn corals from designation will be solicited during a 60-day comment period.  A draft economic analysis and Section 4(b)(2) report will be conducted in support of this proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Regulations for Tuna Purse Seine Vessels and Fishing Operations in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend regulations pertaining to vessels authorized to fish for tuna and tuna-like species in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.  This rule would: (1) Require vessel owners or managing owners of vessels fishing for tuna and tuna-like species to submit information required by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission to list the vessel on the Vessel Register; (2) require that owners or managing owners of purse seine vessels of 400 st (362.8 mt) carrying capacity or less provide annual notification to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to be categorized as active or inactive on the Vessel Register; (3) require owners or managing owners of purse seine vessels on the Vessel Register to notify NMFS prior to transfer of the vessel to foreign registry and flag; (4) allow NMFS to remove vessels from the Vessel Register if the vessels documentation is not valid or effective; (5) allow NMFS to remove purse seine vessels from the Vessel Register if their request for active status is determined to be frivolous; (6) request additional information on tuna purse seine vessel and operator permit applications and add an application fee (less than $50) for the operator permit; and (7) implement resolutions under the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program regarding floodlight specifications and vessel gear inspections.  This rule would also make additional modifications and technical changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

The LAPP provisions provide new incentive-based options for fisheries management.

            <RISKS><![CDATA[Without this rulemaking, there is a risk that new LAPP programs will be developed that do not meet the requirements of section 303(A), and therefore may detrimentally impact the fish stocks that they are designed to manage, the fisheries, or the human environment.  Among other things, reducing capacity; and promote fishing safety, fishery conservation and management, and social and economic benefits.  Without guidance, LAPP programs may be developed that do not meet these requirements.  Properly designed LAPPs mitigate environmental risk, ensure fair and equitable initial allocations, prevent excessive shares, protect the basic cultural and social framework of the fisheries and fishing communities, and contribute to public safety and economic prosperity.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes regulations to set forth identification and certification procedures for nations whose vessels engage in illgeal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing activities or bycatch of protected living marine resources pursuant to the High Seas Fishing Moratorium Protection Act (Moratorium Protection Act). Specifically, the Moratorium Protection Act requires the Secretary of Commerce to identify in a biennial report to Congress those foreign nations whose vessels are engaged in IUU fishing or fishing that results in bycatch of protected living marine resources.  The Moratorium Protection Act also requires the establishment of procedures to certify whether nations identified in the biennial report are taking appropriate corrective actions to address IUU fishing or bycatch of protected living marine resources by fishing vessels of that nation.  Based upon the outcome of the certification procedures developed in this rulemaking, nations could be subject to import prohibitions on certain fisheries products and other measures under the authority provided in the High Seas Driftnet Fisheries Enforcement Act if the are not positively certified by the Secretary of Commerce.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[NOAA is proposing these regulations pursuant to its rulemaking authority under sections 609 and 610 of the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 1826j-k), as amended by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Because this rule is under development, NMFS does not currently have estimates of the amount of product that is imported into the United States from other nations whose vessels are engaged in illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing or bycatch of protected living marine resources.  Therefore, quantification of the economic impacts of this rulemaking is not possible at this time.  This rulemaking does not meet the $100 million annual economic impact threshold and thus has not been determined to be economically significant under EO 12866.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risks associated with not pursuing the proposed rulemaking include allowing IUU fishing activities and/or bycatch of protected living marine resources by foreign vessels to continue without an effective tool to aid in combating such activities.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA) Environmental Review Procedure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 107 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management  Reauthorization Act (MSRA) (Pub. L. 109-479) requires NOAA Fisheries to revise and update agency procedures for complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in context of fishery management actions.  It further requires that NOAA Fisheries consult with the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the Regional Fishery Management Councils (Councils), and involve the public in the development of the revised procedures.  The MSRA provides that the resulting procedures will be the sole environmental impact assessment procedure for fishery management actions, and that they must: Conform to the timelines for review and approval of fishery management plans and plan amendments; and integrate applicable environmental analytical procedures, including the time frames for public input, with the procedure for the preparation and dissemination of fishery management plans, plan amendments, and other actions taken or approved pursuant to this Act in order to provide for timely, clear and concise analysis that is useful to decisionmakers and the public, reduce extraneous paperwork, and effectively involve the public. 

NOAA Fisheries is currently consulting with the Councils, the Public and CEQ to develop a proposed procedure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Specifications for the Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) fishery to set BFT quotas, General category effort controls, and seasonal management measures for the 2008 fishing year (January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008).  This action will implement the U.S. annual BFT quota as recommended by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas and allocate that quota among the domestic fishing categories.  General category effort controls will allocate time-period subquotas and set certain restricted fishing days.  The seasonal management measures would propose daily retention limits and their duration for both the General and Angling categories.  The rulemaking process needs to be performed as expeditiously as possible in order to publish the measures prior to the start of the season on January 1.  The annual specification process is set forth in current regulations implemented under the Consolidated Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance for Annual Catch Limits (ACLs) and Accountability Measures (AMs) To End Overfishing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 104(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (MSRA), requires that in fishing year 2010, for fisheries determined by the Secretary to be subject to overfishing, and in fishing year 2011, for all other fisheries, that fishery management plans establish ACLs, including regulations and annual specifications, at a level such that overfishing does not occur in a fishery, including measures to ensure accountability.	

The National Marine Fisheries Service intends to prepare guidance on how to establish adequate ACLs and AMs by revising its National Standard 1 (NS1) guidelines at 50 CFR 600.310.  This is because NS1 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act states that Conservation and management measures shall prevent overfishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from each fishery for the United States fishing industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is developing guidance for ending overfishing and rebuilding overfished fish stocks.  NMFS takes this action to ensure that fish stocks managed by Federal fishery management plans (FMPs) under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA) implement annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) to ensure that overfishing is prevented.  ACLs and AMs are required by fishing year 2010, for all stocks undergoing overfishing, and by 2011, for all stocks.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[NOAA is proposing these regulations pursuant to the MSRA of 2006 (P.L. 109-479).  This includes a new required provision that any FMP shall "establish a mechanism for specifying annual catch limits in the plan (including a multiyear plan), implementing regulations, or annual specifications, at a level such that overfishing does not occur in the fishery, including measures to ensure accountability."  Provisions and guidance related to overfishing best fit under the current National Standard 1 which states: "Conservation and management measures shall prevent overfishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from each fishery for the United States fishing industry."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[NMFS is currently in the process of developing alternatives, and will provide more complete information at a later date.  Preliminary alternatives outlined in the Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement include no action, developing performance standards that ACLs and AMs must meet but do not provide guidance on specific mechanisms, and finally develop ACL and AM guidelines that provide performance standards that ACLs must meet.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rule does not meet the $100 million annual economic impact threshold and thus has not been determined to be economically significant under EO 12866.  Specific benefits and costs from having ACL and AM mechanisms and actual ACLs and AMs for various fisheries will not be known until ACLs and AMs are implemented in 2010, for stocks undergoing overfishing, and by 2011, for all stocks.  Regional Fishery Management Councils, and NMFS, in the case of Atlantic highly migratory species, will perform environmental and socioeconomic analyses to describe specific effects for their fisheries once they determine what ACLs and AMs are needed for each stock.  In general, ending overfishing immediately, rather than allowing it to continue would reduce short-term revenues for a brief period, but increase revenues at a sustainable level for the fishery earlier.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Overfishing still occurs at various levels in 48 fisheries in U.S. waters, although NMFS and the Regional Fishery Management Councils have made significant improvements in recent years.  A priority in the MSRA is to strengthen the Act to ensure an end to overfishing.  Without this rulemaking, there is a risk that there will be more instances of overfishing, which would delay rebuilding.  By implementing ACLs and AMs, mechanisms will be in place to address overfishing more quickly, thus ensuring the timely rebuilding of overfished stocks.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule To Implement a Minimum Size Limit on Spiny Lobster (Panulirus argus) Imports </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States is a major importer of spiny lobster from the Caribbean, importing over 88,000 tons (over 194 million lbs) over the past 10 years, worth an estimated $2.27 billion dollars.  The United States imports over 90 percent of the spiny lobster harvested in Brazil, Colombia, Central America and the Caribbean countries.  The major exporters to the United States are the Bahamas, Brazil, Honduras and Nicaragua.  All of these exporting countries have some form of minimum size requirement, but they are not standardized and enforcement is severely lacking.  Therefore, NOAA Fisheries Service, in coordination with the Caribbean, South Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Councils, is proposing to place a minimum size limit restriction on imports to curtail the flow of undersized lobster harvested in foreign countries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Individual Fishing Quota Omnibus V Actions 2 and 4: Allow Longline Pot Gear in Bering Sea During June; Allow Mobilized Military Personnel To Make Temporary Individual Fishing Quota Transfers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulatory action amends existing commercial fishing regulations at 50 CFR part 679.  The amendment would enhance the management of the halibut and sablefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) fisheries, as well as the sablefish Community Development Quota (CDQ) fishery.  In June 2006, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council recommended a suite of four amendments to the halibut and sablefish IFQ fishery regulations, otherwise known as OMNI V.  This proposed action addresses Action 2 and Action 4 of the Councils proposed regulatory amendments.  The action would amend regulations to: (1) Allow the use of longline pot gear in the Bering Sea sablefish IFQ and CDQ fisheries during the month of June; and (2) allow the temporary transfer of IFQ held by mobilized reservists and guardsmen.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Pelagic Longline Take Reduction Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, the National Marine Fisheries Service would implement the Draft Atlantic Pelagic Longline Take Reduction Plan in order to reduce serious injuries and mortalities of long-finned pilot whales, short-finned pilot whales, and Rissos dolphins in the Atlantic pelagic longline fishery to insignificant levels approaching a zero mortality and serious injury rate, within five years of its implementation.  The draft plan was prepared by the Atlantic Pelagic Longline Take Reduction Team (Team) and includes including both regulatory and nonregulatory measures.  Regulatory measures include: (1) Limiting the mainline length to 20 nautical miles or less within the Mid-Atlantic Bight; (2) designating a special research area offshore of Cape Hatteras, NC; (3) requiring all longline fishery owners and operators complete a mandatory certification program on marine mammal bycatch; and (4) requiring all pelagic longline vessels post an informational placard on careful handling and release of marine mammals in the wheelhouse and working decks of the vessel.  Nonregulatory measures of the plan include: (1) Providing for 12-15 percent observer coverage throughout all Atlantic pelagic longline fisheries that interact with pilot whales or Rissos dolphins; (2) encouraging vessel operators throughout the fishery to maintain daily communications with other local vessel captains; (3) updating guidelines for careful handling and release of entangled or hooked marine mammals; and (4) distributing quarterly reports of bycatch of marine mammals in the pelagic longline fishery to the Team.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reorganization and Update of Federal West Coast Groundfish Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Several sections of the Federal groundfish regulations at 50 CFR 660 are outdated and should be updated through a notice-and-comment rulemaking.  This rulemaking would correct outdated regulatory references, would update Federal permit regulations at 660.331-.341 to reflect the closure of the sablefish tier application period, and would consolidate those regulations so that they read more clearly.  This rulemaking would also update participation rules for the tier sablefish fishery to reflect more recent changes in reporting technology.  This rule is non-substantive and non-significant, but it is needed to update the regulations so that they are more user-friendly for the regulated public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>A Maximized Retention and Monitoring Program for the Pacific Whiting Shoreside Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The action is to establish a maximized retention and monitoring program in the Pacific whiting shoreside fishery off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California.  The shoreside whiting fishery has been managed under an annually-issued exempted fisheries permit since 1992.  Exempted fishing permits are intended to be used as a short-term temporary and exploratory response to issues that potentially should be addressed by permanent regulations.  Establishing maximized retention requirements and a Federal monitoring program will allow NMFS to:  Account for Chinook salmon catch as specified in the Endangered Species Act section 7 Biological Opinion for Chinook Salmon Catch in the Pacific groundfish fishery; meet standardized bycatch reporting requirements specified by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act; collect biological data on catch that would otherwise not be available; and create the regulatory structure necessary to efficiently manage the Pacific whiting fishery without exempted fishing permits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Species; Designation of Critical Habitat for the North Pacific Right Whale (Eubalaena japonica)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) completed a status review of the northern right whale and has determined that northern right whales in the North Pacific Ocean are a separate and distinct species from the northern right whales in the Atlantic or southern hemisphere.  We also find the species to be described in the North Pacific Ocean, the North Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica), is in danger of extinction throughout its range.  We have proposed to list this species as endangered pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. Here we propose to designate critical habitat for this species.  Two specific areas are proposed for designation: One in the Gulf of Alaska and another in the Bering Sea, comprising a total of approximately 93,600 square kilometers (36,600 square miles) of marine habitat.  NMFS solicits comments from the public on all aspects of the proposal, including information on the economic, national security, and other relevant impacts of the proposed designation.  NMFS may revise this proposal and solicit additional comments prior to final designation to address new information received during the comment period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection and Use of Tax Identification Numbers From Applicants for National Marine Fisheries Service Permits </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In conformance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will issue a rule to require that each applicant for a permit, license, endorsement, authorization, transfer or like instrument issued  by the Agency to provide a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) (Employer Identification Number for business entities or Social Security Number for individuals) and date of incorporation (business) or date of birth (individual), as appropriate.  Under the DCIA authority, NMFS will collect the TIN from any permit/license applicant to determine if such a party has any delinquent non-tax debt owed to the Federal Government and inform the applicant that issuance of the permit/license is contingent on the resolution of such debt.  NMFS plans to use date-of-incorporation and date-of-birth information for administrative aspects of permitting procedures with appropriate confidentiality safeguards pursuant to the Privacy Act.  The rule will specify: (a) The Agencys intended uses of the collected TIN information and provisions for ensuring the confidentiality of personally identifiable information pursuant to the Privacy Act; (b) the effects on an applicant for permit/license issuance, renewal, or transfer of not providing the required TIN information and when delinquent non-tax debts are owed; (c) the agencys procedure for using the TIN to determine, through the Treasury Departments Debt Check Program, if a permit applicant owes delinquent non-tax debt to the Government pursuant to the DCIA; and (d) the Agencys intended communications with the permit/license applicant concerning the relationship of such delinquent debts to its permitting process and the need to resolve such debts as a basis for completing permit/license issuance, renewal, or transfer.  The rule will also refer to parallel Agency actions to establish: (a) A Policy Directive regarding the collection of TIN information from permit/license applicants; and (b) a new NMFS Privacy Act System of Records for permits and non-permit registrations used in a variety of fisheries management programs that will facilitate identifying fishery participants and evaluating permit applicant qualifications as well as an updated System of Record for protected species related permits (issued under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act) to include the TIN collection and an additional routine use concerning the Treasury Departments Debt Check Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation would require domestic fishing vessels to have a U.S. Coast Guard-approved pilot ladder on board as a safer means for authorized personnel to board the vessels in carrying out their duties under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act and other applicable laws.  This action is necessary to provide for the safety of personnel boarding domestic fishing vessels, as current standards have proven to be inadequate.  This action would establish a safer and more enforceable national standard for ladders used by authorized officers for boarding domestic fishing vessels subject to Federal regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Gulf Reef Fish Amendment 30B </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 30B addresses the findings of Gulf of Mexico red grouper and gag stock assessments.  Red grouper is not undergoing overfishing and is not overfished.  Gag is undergoing overfishing and whether gag are overfished is still being determined.  This action incorporates both red grouper and gag management measures together, as the measures affecting one species invariably affect the other.  The amendment would implement management measures to increase red grouper TAC and to end overfishing of gag.  The amendment also proposes definitions for gag status criteria and reference points.  The amendment also examines grouper accountability measures, closed fishing areas, and ways to reduce discard mortality.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Mammal Protection Act Permit Regulations Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is considering proposing changes to its implementing regulations (50 CFR  section 216) governing the issuance of permits for scientific research and enhancement activities under section 104 of the Marine Mammal Protection Act and is soliciting public comment to better inform the process.  NMFS intends to streamline and clarify general permitting requirements and requirements for scientific research and enhancement permits, simplify procedures for transferring marine mammal parts, possibly apply the General Authorization (GA) to research activities involving Level A harassment of non-endangered marine mammals, and implement a permit application cycle for application submission and processing of all marine mammal permits.  NMFS intends to write regulations for marine mammal photography permits and is considering whether this activity should be covered by the GA.  Any recommendations received in response to this ANPR regarding regulations at 50 CFR  section 216 will be considered prior to proposed rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

Currently, a properly configured haddock separator trawl is the only gear approved for use in the Eastern U.S./Canada Haddock SAP and the only trawl gear approved for use in the Northeast Multispecies Regular B DAS Program.  If the standards are approved, the New England Fishery Management Council may propose specific gear types that meet the standard for the National Marine Fisheries Service to consider for use in these programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Chain-Mat Modified Dredges in the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service is preparing this action regarding the sea turtle conservation measures in the Atlantic sea scallop fishery.  This action is necessary to correct a procedural error in the original rulemaking and to clarify the regulatory text.  In addition, the action will request public comment on an emergency rule issued in November 2006.

This action is necessary to address a procedural error in the rulemaking that required chain mats on dredges in the Atlantic sea scallop fishery chain mat regulation (71 FR 50361, August 25, 2006).  This rulemaking would address the procedural oversight by ensuring that NMFS follows all of the National Environmental Policy Act procedures in the proper sequence.  This rule would also amend the regulations to clarify that the U.S. Coast Guard and enforcement agents may board a vessel that has entered the waters described to check for compliance with the requirement to have a chain mat affixed to the dredge, regardless of whether that vessel is still in the waters described.  This change would be made so that this language is consistent with the same terminology as 50 CFR 223.206(d)(11)(ii).  The regulations apply to all vessels required to have a Federal Atlantic sea scallop fishery permit and with sea scallop dredge gear entering certain waters from May 1 through November 30 each year. Finally, this action will request public comment on an emergency rulemaking completed in November 2006 (71 FR 66466, November 15, 2006).  Shortly after the publication of the original chain mat regulation, NMFS became aware of a discrepancy in the two options for configuring the chain mat.  NMFS corrected this discrepancy, by removing one of the options for configuring the gear, in an emergency rulemaking.  This current rulemaking specifically requests public comment on the change made by the November 2006 emergency rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS); Atlantic Tunas; Fishing Gear Authorization, Operation, and Deployment Restrictions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) would define and authorize green-stick fishing gear for harvesting of Atlantic tunas as appropriate and consistent with the bluefin tuna (BFT) rebuilding plan, the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act, and the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP).  The intent of this rule is to allow Atlantic tuna fishermen additional flexibility to use a fishing gear effective for Atlantic tunas. 

NMFS also proposes a change to the operation restrictions applicable to Atlantic HMS permit Charter/Headboat category vessels.  The intent of this change would be to provide uniformity in application of regulations relevant to the landing of commercial-sized BFT under the general category quota.  This action is consistent with the BFT rebuilding plan and with the HMS FMP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establish Take Prohibitions for the Threatened Southern Distinct Population Segment of North American Green Sturgeon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) is required to adopt such regulations as he deems necessary and advisable for the conservation of species listed as threatened.  This proposed ESA 4(d) rule represents the regulations that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) believes necessary and advisable to conserve the threatened Southern Distinct Population Segment of North American green sturgeon (Southern DPS of green sturgeon).  NMFS proposes to apply the prohibitions listed under ESA sections 9(a)(1)(A) and 9(a)(1)(D) through 9(a)(1)(G) for the Southern DPS of green sturgeon and to apply ESA section 9(a)(1)(B) and 9(a)(1)(C) prohibitions (called the take prohibitions) to specific activities that take Southern DPS fish or alter its habitat in a manner detrimental to the continued existence of the species.  NMFS also describes exceptions to the take prohibitions for activities conducted in a way that NMFS deems adequate to protect or conserve the Southern DPS.  In addition, NMFS is announcing the availability of an environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the impacts of promulgating these 4(d) regulations for the Southern DPS of green sturgeon.  NMFS solicits comments regarding the draft EA and this proposed ruling.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking of Marine Mammals Incidental to U.S. Navy Training in the Hawaii Range Complex, Hawaii</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA)(16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), upon application from the U.S. Navy (Navy), plans to issue proposed regulations to govern the unintentional taking of marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to training activities conducted within the Navys Hawaii Range Complex (HRC).  The regulations will set forth the permissible methods of taking, other means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on the affected species or stocks and their habitats (i.e., mitigation), and the requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such taking. 

Letters of Authorization (LOAs) issued under the regulations would authorize the take of marine mammals incidental to upcoming Navy training activities to be conducted within the HRC (which covers 235,000 nm2 around the Main Hawaiian Islands) over the course of 5 years and commencing in July 2008.  The HRC complex consists of targets and instrumented areas, airspace, surface operational areas (OPAREAS), and land range facilities.  The following types of exercises, which are classified as military readiness activities pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act, would be covered under the LOAs: (1) Naval Surface Fire Support Exercises, (2) Surface-to-Surface Gunnery Exercises, (3) Surface-to-Surface Missile Exercises, (4) Air-to-Surface Missile Exercises, (5) Bombing Exercises, (6) Sink Exercises, (7) Mine Neutralization, (8) Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Tracking Exercises, (9) ASW Torpedo Exercises, and (10) Major Integrated ASW Training Exercises (such as RIMPAC, USWEX, and Multiple Strike Group Exercises). 

Implementation of the above training activities will expose marine mammals of 26 species present within the HRC to sound from hull-mounted mid-frequency active tactical sonar or to underwater detonations.  This rule, if issued, would cover take of individuals of 26 species of marine mammals by Level B Harassment.  Further, the  rule would cover take of a very small number of individuals of a subset of the exposed species (not ESA-listed species) per year by serious injury or mortality.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revise Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Reef Fish of Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands and FMP for Spiny Lobster Fishery of Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Many species of fish in the reef fish fishery in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) are believed to be overexploited, largely due to unrestricted trap fishing.  Landings from the trap fishery have seen a continuous decrease since 1990 in Puerto Rico (e.g., Matos-Caraballo, See Section 2.1) and a change in species composition and size of fish landed over the last 10 years.  This effect has been attributed to excess trap fishing effort, the lack of compliance with regard to trap construction (i.e., fishers often do not used the required biodegradable fasteners on trap doors), use of other gears by commercial fishers, and the lack of escape panels in traps which would allow smaller fishes to escape, resulting in high mortality of juveniles and a loss of long-term potential yield.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish Fisheries; Modifications to the Geographic Boundaries of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Bottomfish Management Subarea</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory amendment would redefine the outer boundary of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Bottomfish Management Subarea from the entire 200-nm exclusive economic zone to an area within approximately 50 nm from shore.  This action would make the boundary conform to that of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, and would provide pelagic fishermen the opportunity to harvest bottomfish outside the bottomfish management area and monument.  While bottomfish permit holders rarely fish more than 50 nm from shore, commercial and recreational pelagic fishermen sometimes use troll and handline gear beyond 50 nm, and they sometimes catch bottomfish management unit species.  Currently, existing regulations require these fish to be discarded because the catch of these bottomfish species is limited to holders of bottomfish limited entry permits.  A reduction in the outer boundary of the bottomfish management area will allow the retention of a few bottomfish species by pelagic fishermen who fish beyond the bottomfish zone.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Threatened Status for the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment of Atlantic Salmon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service have received a comprehensive Status Review of Atlantic Salmon in the United States authored by the Atlantic Salmon Biological Review Team (BRT).  This review was initiated in response to a variety of new genetic data that was recently published; this information was required to consider the status of Atlantic salmon populations in the rivers other than those specifically named in the listing that occurred in 2000.  We have determined that naturally spawned and several hatchery populations constitute a Distinct Population Segment (DPS) and hence a species for listing consideration under the ESA.  After reviewing the best available scientific and commercial information, evaluating threats facing the species, and taking into account those efforts being made to protect the species, we conclude that the Gulf of Maine DPS of Atlantic Salmon is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.  Therefore, we are proposing that the Gulf of Maine DPS be listed under the ESA as a threatened species.  We are also proposing a  series of 4(d) protective regulations as well.  We will propose critical habitat for the Gulf of Maine DPS in subsequent Federal Register notices.  We are soliciting public comment on this proposed listing determination (including the 4(d) protective regulations), the 2006 Status Review for Atlantic Salmon in the United States, as well as any other information relevant to the designation of critical habitat for the Gulf of Maine DPS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 89 to the Fishery Management Plan to Bering Sea;  Bering Sea Habitat Conservation Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory amendment would implement Amendment 89 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area. The regulations would prohibit nonpelagic trawling in certain areas of the Bering Sea subarea to protect bottom habitat and certain nearshore bottom habitat areas that  provide subsistence resources.   The amendment also would provide for a Northern Bering Sea research area where the effects of nonpelagic trawling may be studied.  

The cost to the regulated community is limited to an average of $330,000 annually based on the closure of the Northern Bering Sea research area.  Other closures under  this action  are not anticipated to result in lost revenue because the closures are located in areas not currently fished, or  the closure areas are small enough that the industry is likely to be able to recover any potential lost revenue by shifting fishing into other locations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Navy Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service is amending its regulations governing the taking of marine mammals incidental to operations of the U.S. Navy's SURTASS LFA sonar to implement provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2004 (NDAA).  The President signed into law the NDAA (Pub. L. 108-136) on November 24, 2003.  Included in this law were amendments to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) that apply where a "military readiness activity" is concerned.  NMFS and the Navy have determined that the Navy's SURTASS LFA sonar testing and training operations that are the subject of NMFS' July 16, 2002 (67 FR 46712) final rule constitute a military readiness activity because those activities constitute "training and operations of the Armed Forces that relate to combat" and constitute "adequate and realistic testing of military equipment, vehicles, weapons and sensors for proper operation and suitability for combat use."]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The North Atlantic right whale population is depleted from past levels. Collisions with vessels are the greatest known human threat to right whales.  NMFS is required under the ESA and MMPA to develop actions to recover this species. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) proposed to establish speed restrictions on vessels 65 ft (19.8m) or greater in overall length in certain locations and at certain times of the year along the East Coast of the United States to reduce this threat. The purpose of these proposed regulatory measures is to reduce the likelihood of deaths and serious injuries to endangered North Atlantic right whales that result from collisions with ships.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[NOAA proposed these regulations pursuant to its rulemaking authority under Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) section 112(a) (16 U.S.C. 1382(a)), and Endangered Species Act (ESA) section 11(f) (16 U.S.C. 1540(f)). These proposed regulations also are consistent with the purpose of the ESA "to provide a program for the conservation of [. . .] endangered species" and "the policy of Congress that all Federal departments and agencies shall seek to conserve endangered species [. . .] and shall utilize their authorities in furtherance of the purposes of [the ESA]." 16 U.S.C. 1531(b),(c).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[NMFS identified five alternatives to the proposed action. Alternative 1 is No Action (Status Quo) in which NMFS would continue to implement existing measures and programs, largely nonregulatory, to reduce the likelihood of mortality from ship strikes. Alternative 2 includes all elements of Alternative 1 and involves use of Dynamically Managed Areas (DMA), which consists of certain vessel speed restrictions applying only when and where right whale sightings occur. Alternative 3 is vessel speed restrictions in designated areas. It includes all elements of Alternative 1 and implements large scale speed restrictions throughout the range of North Atlantic right whales. Alternative 4 is the use of recommended shipping routes. It includes all the elements of Alternative 1 and relies on altering some current vessel patterns to move vessels away from areas where whales are known to congregate. Alternative 5 is a combination that includes all elements of Alternatives 1 to 4. Alternative 6 (the proposed alternative) includes a combination of operational measures (routing measures and speed restrictions). The principal difference between Alternatives 5 and 6 is that Alternative 6 does not include large scale speed restrictions (as identified in Alternative 3) but instead relies on speed restrictions in much smaller Seasonally Managed Areas.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Benefits:
The benefits of effective measures to reduce the risk of right whale mortality caused by ship strikes are expected to be considerable.  Because ship strikes are the human activity that pose the greatest known threat to right whales, adopting effective measures to reduce the incidences of ship strikes will aid in the recovery of this highly endangered species. However, monetary estimates of these benefits are currently unavailable; therefore, the discussion of these benefits specific to right whales is descriptive. 

Costs:
The estimated costs associated with the speed restrictions are being analyzed and will be provided in the Final Environmental Impact Statement and in the accompanying Economic Analysis.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The North Atlantic right whale is in danger of extinction.  Absent effective action to reduce fatal ship strikes and other sources of mortality and injuries caused by human activity, the North Atlantic right whale population faces a risk of continued decline.]]></RISKS>

This pilot program would: (1) Provide for a set-aside of up to 5 percent for the total allowable catch of such fisheries for catcher vessels not eligible to participate in the pilot program, which shall be delivered to shore-based fish processors not eligible to participate in the pilot program; (2) establish catch limits for non-rockfish species and non-target rockfish species currently harvested with Pacific ocean perch, northern rockfish, and pelagic shelf rockfish, which shall be based on historical harvesting of such bycatch species.  The pilot program would sunset when a Gulf of Alaska groundfish comprehensive rationalization plan is authorized by the Council and implemented by the Secretary, or 2 years from date of implementation, whichever is earlier.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to the Explosive Removal of Offshore Structures in the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a request from the Minerals Management Service (MMS), U.S. Department of the Interior, on behalf of offshore operators, for authorization to harass marine mammals incidental to explosive severance activities at offshore oil and gas structures in the Gulf of Mexico outer continental shelf.  In compliance with Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act regulations and MMS guidelines, operators are required to remove sea-floor obstructions from their leases within one year of lease termination or after a structure has been deemed obsolete or unusable.  As a result of this request, NMFS is proposing regulations that, if implemented, would govern the incidental taking of marine mammals under individual Letters of Authorization (LOAs), issued to participants in this industry to take marine mammals by harassment and non-serious auditory impairment.  In order to promulgate regulations and issue LOAs thereunder, NMFS must determine that these takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise 50 CFR part 679.4--Permits by making technical edits, clarifying, and simplifying existing requirements.  In addition, this rule would revise several sections of 50 CFR part 679.5--Reformatting recordkeeping and reporting regulations, to make room for new electronic reporting requirements; make technical edits; clarify and simplify existing requirements; and remove obsolete text.  A new section will be added to describe requirements for a catcher vessel electronic logbook.  The Shoreside Processor Electronic Logbook Report (SPELR) for groundfish at 679.5(e) will be replaced by the Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS) eLandings data entry for groundfish; crab; IFQ halibut, IFQ sablefish, and CDQ halibut.  The IFQ Internet system described at 679.5(l) will be revised with an option to use eLandings.  The mothership weekly accumulative ADF&G fish tickets described at 679.5(m) will be removed; this information will be sent through IERS eLandings.  The revision of this rule is necessary to meet the statutory deadline for eLandings to be in place for groundfish data entry by January 1, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and Interior are establishing joint procedures for a new category of expedited trial-type hearings.  The hearings will resolve disputed issues of material fact with respect to conditions or prescriptions that one or more of the Departments develop for inclusion in a hydropower license issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Federal Power Act.  The three Departments are also establishing procedures for the consideration of alternative conditions and prescriptions submitted by any party to a license proceeding, as provided in the EPAct.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements; Regulatory Amendment To Modify Seafood Dealer Reporting Requirements; Correction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) published a document in the Federal Register on April 28, 2005, revising regulations for seafood dealer reporting requirements.  That rule also contained a measure authorizing vessel operator permits issued by the NMFS Southeast (SE) Region under regulations governing the Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf, and South Atlantic to satisfy NMFS Northeast (NE) Region vessel operator permitting requirements.  However, when amending the operator permit section of the regulations to reflect the reciprocal arrangement, NMFS inadvertently removed the summer flounder fishery from the list of fisheries requiring a NE operator permit.  This document corrects the April 28, 2005, regulations by adding the summer flounder fishery to the list of fisheries requiring an NE operator permit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action expands the current vessel monitoring system (VMS) program by requiring all vessels fishing pursuant to the harvest guidelines, quotas, and other management measures governing the open access groundfish fishery to provide declaration reports and to activate and use a VMS transceiver while fishing off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California.  Any commercial fishing vessel that is not registered to a limited entry groundfish permit and that is used to take and retain groundfish in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) (3-200 nm from shore) that possess groundfish while transiting the EEZ, or that lands groundfish taken in the EEZ is considered to be participating in the open access groundfish fishery.  Vessel using non-groundfish trawl gear to fish in the EEZ will be included, whether or not groundfish is retained, for the purpose of monitoring vessel activity in relation to essential fish habitat.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework 4 to the Fishery Management Plan for Monkfish</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This framework adjustment would establish target TACs of 5,000 mt and 5,100 mt for the Northern Fishery Management Area (NFMA) and Southern Fishery Management Area (SFMA), respectively, for the final 3 years of the rebuilding plan (FY 2007-FY 2009), unless otherwise modified by the Monkfish Monitoring Committee(MFMC) during their annual review process.  Essentially, this framework adjustment would remove the Framework 2 control rule and replace it with target TACs that were developed based upon an analysis conducted by the Monkfish Plan Development Team (PDT).  This framework would also implement monkfish Days-at-Sea requirements for vessels fishing in the NFMA, and addresses other minor issues raised by industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would modify the current Bering Sea and Aleutian Island (BSAI) Pacific cod allocations among the jig, trawl, hook-and-line, and pot gear sectors.  The current harvest patterns vary significantly from sector allocations that have been in place since 1997.  This action is necessary to establish allocations that better reflect actual use by sector, while considering socioeconomic and community factors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 15 to the Pacific Coast Salmon Fishery Management Plan (FMP) would implement provisions that provide de minimis fishing opportunity during periods when the status of Klamath River fall Chinook is such that no fishing opportunities would be allowed under the current FMP without use of the emergency rule process, as was necessary for the 2006 salmon season.  The conservation objective for Klamath River fall Chinook, which includes an annual natural spawning escapement floor of 35,000 adults, with respect to determining when stock status would trigger a Conservation Alert or an Overfishing Concern, will not change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Authorize Observer Coverage of Fisheries To Monitor Sea Turtle Interactions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) amends its regulations to establish a requirement for State and Federal fisheries that operate in areas where sea turtles may be present and likely to interact with such fishing operations to take an observer on board when requested to do so by NMFS.  All sea turtles that occur in U.S. waters are listed as either endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act.  Therefore, measures are necessary both to monitor the level of takes occurring as well as to reduce takes to recover sea turtle species.  This measure is necessary to adequately document sea turtle interactions with fishing operations, to evaluate existing measures to reduce sea turtle takes, and to determine whether additional measures to address sea turtle takes may be necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Shark Management Measures 2007</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would reevaluate the management measures for large coastal sharks (LCS) and pelagic sharks based on the 2005/2006 LCS stock assessment, the 2006 dusky shark stock assessment, and the Canadian 2005 porbeagle shark stock assessment.  This rulemaking could consider, among other things, changes to existing rebuilding plans for overfished species, commercial quotas and trip limits, recreational minimum size and bag limits, and the public display quota.  In addition, this rule would likely reevaluate the Mid-Atlantic shark closure and its role in the rebuilding plan for LCS.  This action is necessary in light of recent stock assessments, which have determined that dusky and sandbar sharks are overfished with overfishing occurring, the status is unknown for the Atlantic blacktip shark population, and porbeagle sharks are likely overfished.  In addition, the 2005/2006 LCS stock assessment determined it is inappropriate to assess the LCS complex as a whole, which has been the basis of managing these species since 1993.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulatory amendment is necessary to clarify the requirements for vessel monitoring systems (VMS) for vessels operating in the fisheries of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area and Gulf of Alaska.  The revision would require all federally permitted vessels to operate a VMS when the fishery is open for which the vessel is endorsed.  In addition, the revision would require all federally permitted vessels to operate a VMS in State of Alaska waters when VMS operation is also required in Federal waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Virginia Modified Pound Net Leader Inspection Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, NMFS issues a rule to implement an inspection program for modified pound net leaders in the Virginia waters of the mainstem Chesapeake Bay.  Previous regulations (71 FR 36024, June 23, 2006) required modified pound net leaders in a portion of the Virginia Chesapeake Bay from May 6 to July 15 each year, and this action would ensure that leaders used in that area do in fact meet the definition of a modified pound net leader.  To comply with the inspection program, a pound net fisherman intending to set a modified leader must call NMFS to arrange for an inspection meeting.  Then, the fisherman must meet NMFS and allow for the inspection of his or her gear to ensure the modified leader meets the definition of a modified pound net leader, as described in the regulations.  The purpose of this action is to help protect threatened and endangered sea turtles, while enabling fishermen to use leaders, an important component of pound net gear, during the regulated period.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action will also establish initial North and South Atlantic quotas and seasons for 2007, and will implement recommendations from the 2006 meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).  This proposed rule is necessary to ensure that current swordfish quotas account for underharvests from the 2005 fishing year, consistent with regulations at 50 CFR part 635, and implement ICCAT recommendations that establish the U.S. North and South Atlantic swordfish allocations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory amendment would revise Alaska groundfish fisheries regulations affecting seabird avoidance gear standards to hook-and-line vessels operating in the Exclusive Economic Zone and portions of inside waters where birds of concern occur.  The revision would remove seabird avoidance gear requirements in portions of inside waters where birds of concern do not occur.  A weather safety exemption would be added to the regulations for small vessels, and the Seabird Avoidance Plan requirement would be deleted because it was found to be an unnecessary measure to ensure the proper use of seabird avoidance gear.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 4 to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commissions  (Commission) Interstate Fisheries Management Plan (ISFMP) for Weakfish </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) amends it regulations to modify management restrictions in the Federal weakfish fishery in a manner consistent with the Commissions Weakfish Management Boards (Board) approved Addendum II to Amendment 4 to the ISFMP for Weakfish.  In short, the Federal regulatory change would decrease the incidental catch allowance for weakfish in the exclusive economic zone in non-directed fisheries using smaller mesh sizes, from 300 pounds to no more than 150 pounds per day or trip, whichever is longer in duration.  The Boards action was taken in response to a significant decline in stock abundance and increasing total mortality since 1999.  As a result of the stocks overfished status, the Board was required under Amendment 4 to the ISFMP for Weakfish to adjust the management program to help rebuild spawning stock biomass.  This issue is compounded by the fact that natural mortality, rather than fishing mortality, has been indicated as the lead cause for stock decline.  This regulatory change would not increase or decrease the number of weakfish actually caught, but could reduce by up to 150 pounds the amount of bycatch that could be landed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reef Fish Regulatory Amendment for Vermilion Snapper To Revise Management Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of the regulatory amendment is to revise management measures implemented through Amendment 23 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico.  These management measures need to be revised because a recent stock assessment resulted in a change of stock status to "not overfished" or "undergoing overfishing."  The regulatory amendment contains two management alternatives.  Alternative 1 is the no action alternative and would maintain the regulations implemented by Amendment 23.  Preferred Alternative 2 reverses management measures originally implemented by Amendment 23.  Specifically, the actions in Preferred Alternative 2 include: Reducing the recreational and commercial minimum size limit from 11 to 10 inches total length; ending the April 22-May 31 commercial seasonal closure; eliminating the 10-fish bag limit for vermilion snapper; and retaining vermilion snapper in the current 20-fish aggregate bag limit for those reef fish species without species to specific bag limits.]]></ABSTRACT>

The National Marine Fisheries Service must categorize each commercial fishery on the LOF into one of three categories under the MMPA based upon the levels of mortality and serious injury of marine mammals that occurs within each 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule To Revise the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) Reef Fish Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) Reporting Requirements, Power-Down Exemption, and Red Snapper Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) 3-Hour Notification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would revise NOAA Fisheries Service requirements applicable to the commercial reef fish fishery in the Gulf and to incorporate a minor revision to the 3-hour notification requirement in the Gulf red snapper IFQ program.  Because some VMS units draw more power than anticipated, an unintended consequence of this action is that a vessels battery can be drained while in port and not fishing, unless hooked up to an external power source.  To alleviate this problem, NOAA Fisheries Service is proposing an in-port exemption allowing a VMS unit to send a position report once every four hours, rather than every hour.  This would reduce the power requirements of the VMS unit and allow other important safety equipment (e.g., bilge pumps) on a vessel to operate.  In addition, this problem would also be addressed by adding in port as a qualifier for the power-down exemption should a vessel be inactive for 72 consecutive hours or more.  Thus the proposed rule would revise current regulations to reflect revisions made in the NOAA Office of Law Enforcements Vessel Monitoring System Requirements document to address this vessel power issue.  The rule would clarify the requirements of VMS in the reef fish fishery.  This includes requirements for owners/operators of qualified vessels to apply for and obtain a VMS power-down exemption and add a grandfather clause to address VMS units approved for use in the Gulf reef fish fishery.  The rule would also expand the allowable methods for communicating the 3-hour advance notification of landing in the IFQ program.  Currently, the 3-hour notification can only be conducted by phone, which has proven to be impracticable in some cases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Action To Lower the Haddock Minimum Size Limit to 18 Inches To Reduce Regulatory Discarding</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Recent data on the haddock fishery indicate that there have been large amounts of regulatory discarding of haddock occurring because only a small fraction of the haddock have reached the current minimum size of 19 inches total length.  The underlying reason for this situation is the very large 2003 year class of haddock, which is the largest year class of haddock since 1963, and is growing more slowly than previously anticipated (recent survey data indicated an average size of 16.6 inches).  In order to reduce the large amount of discards that have been occurring, and enable such fish to be landed, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is taking emergency action to reduce the haddock minimum size to 18 inches.  A temporary 18-inch minimum size limit will enable a larger fraction of the haddock encountered to be landed, until a greater portion of the haddock population grows and reaches 19 inches.  Although the discarding situation is principally on the Georges Bank stock of haddock, and the Gulf of Maine haddock appear to have a higher rate of growth than the Georges Bank haddock, NMFS is also decreasing the minimum size of Gulf of Maine haddock in order to achieve uniformity in regulations and enhance enforcement of the minimum size regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Shark Commercial Season Lengths</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would adjust quotas and season lengths for the 2008 first trimester season for large coastal sharks (LCS), small coastal sharks (SCS), and pelagic sharks managed under the 2006 Final Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP).  These measures are necessary to ensure that quotas are based upon the most recent landings information and to account for over- or underharvests from the 2007 first trimester season.  These measures would also take into consideration the results of the 2005/2006 shark stock assessments, the current proposed rule (72 FR 41392; July 27, 2007) and draft Amendment 2 to the HMS FMP.  This action would likely be effective from January 1, 2008, until the current proposed rule regarding a rebuilding plan for several species of sharks is finalized and effective.  This action is not significant under the meaning of E.O. 12866 since it is unlikely to make major changes to current shark management measures, is below the economic threshold of impact, and has no novel or legal policy issues associated with it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Regulations Implementing the Antarctic Marine Living Resources Convention Act of 1984</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This amendment to regulations for Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) implements measures agreed to by the parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).  More specifically, it would require the use of the centralized satellite-linked vessel monitoring system (VMS) by all U.S. vessels harvesting AMLR and would be a condition of export for all dealers seeking to import shipments of toothfish.  It would also exempt all shipments of fresh toothfish from the National Marine Fisheries Service preapproval process and allow importers of frozen toothfish to submit the U.S. Customs 7501 entry number subsequent to their initial application for preapproval.  The rule would require the use of Electronic Catch Documents, after a 60-day transition period, for all U.S. dealers seeking to import shipments of toothfish into the United States.  The rule would also amend certain definitions including "import" and "export."  Use of a seal excluder device would be required on krill vessels using trawl gear in CCAMLR waters.  Regulations governing scientific observers and vessel information would be modified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>West Coast Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan, Correcting Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service publishes a correction to the final rule published in the Federal Register on April 7, 2004 (69 FR 18444) to implement the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species.  The final rule should have contained the language defining a loggerhead conservation area in which drift gillnet fishing would be prohibited during a declared El Nino year, as published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2003 (68 FR 69962).  The intended effect of this action is to ensure that loggerhead sea turtles will receive the necessary protection from excessive takes in El Nino years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 14 to the Pelagics Fishery Management Plan (FMP) would implement management measures to address overfishing of bigeye tuna in the Pacific Ocean.  The amendment would include non-regulatory procedures for the management of international fisheries that harvest bigeye tuna and regulatory measures for fisheries managed under the FMP.  These measures include a program of Federal permits and data collection for non-longline Hawaii-based commercial pelagic vessels (troll, handline, and pole and line).  The amendment may include other regulatory measures, possibly including effort controls.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework 1 to the Surfclam and Ocean Quahog Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework adjustment 1 to the Atlantic Surfclam and Ocean Quahog FMP requires the use of a vessel monitoring system (VMS) for vessels participating in the surfclam and ocean quahog fishery.  The VMS requirement replaces the current telephone-based notification requirement necessary prior to departure on a surfclam or ocean quahog fishing trip and facilitates monitoring of closed areas and State/Federal jurisdictional boundaries.  The intent of this action is to implement management measures that will improve the management and enforcement of regulations governing the Atlantic surfclam and ocean quahog fishery in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Testing and Training of the Navy&apos;s Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System--Low Frequency Active Sonar</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a request from the U.S. Navy for an authorization under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to take marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to testing and training activities related to the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System--Low Frequency Active Sonar.  The Navy is currently issued Letters of Authorization (LOA) under rulemaking scheduled to end on August 15, 2007.  As a result of this request, NMFS will propose new regulations that, if implemented, would govern the incidental taking of marine mammals by the Navy for this activity.  In order to promulgate regulations and issue LOAs thereunder, NMFS must determine that these takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would exempt Pollock and CDQ vessels that participate in a voluntary rolling hotspot closure system (VRHS) from chum and Chinook salmon savings area closures.  The VRHS utilizes inseason data and a private contractor to determine and avoid high salmon bycatch areas.  The VRHS encourages salmon bycatch reduction through internal enforcement of a civil agreement between cooperatives and third party groups.  This rulemaking would also exempt vessels participating in the trawl cod and/or flatfish targets from closures of the chum salmon savings area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>12-Month Finding on Petition To List Puget Sound Steelhead as an Endangered or Threatened Species Under the ESA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service has determined that naturally spawned winter- and summer-run steelhead populations and two hatchery steelhead stocks, below natural and manmade impassable barriers, in the river basins of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound, and Hood Canal (Washington) constitute a Distinct Population Segment (DPS) and hence a "species" for listing consideration under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  After reviewing the best available scientific and commercial information, evaluating threats facing the species, and taking into account those efforts being made to protect the species, we conclude that the Puget Sound steelhead DPS is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.  This action would list the Puget Sound steelhead DPS as a threatened species under the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

These amendments would clarify prohibited actions regarding observers, reinforce that an observer may not be deployed nor stay aboard an unsafe vessel, clarify when a fishing vessel is inadequate for observer deployment and how an owner or operator can resolve discrepancies, improve communications between observer programs and fishing vessel owners and operators, and provide for a National Marine Fisheries Service alternate safety equipment examination of certain small fishing vessels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reconciliation of State and Federal Commercial Fishing Vessel Permit Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would implement a limit to the amount of days that a federally-permitted commercial fishing vessel can fish.  Although, in the case of the Northeast (NE) multispecies fisheries, it is estimated that less than 5 percent of vessels are currently exploiting what amounts to a regulatory loophole, fishing part of the permit year exclusively under State regulations and then later renewing their Federal permit, their impact to fishing mortality objectives could potentially be significant especially as reductions in DAS continue in New England.  This action is needed to address the aforementioned situation, that is exploited by a small number of people, before others begin to regard this as an advantage that should be utilized to stay competitive.  The purpose of this action is to remove an unintended consequence of having a Federal permit renewal system that effectively allows for a temporary relinquishment of a Federal limited access permit.  This action would reinforce commercial fishing vessel permit renewal procedures currently practiced by over 90 percent of all limited access permit holders.  Furthermore, this action may facilitate the development of corresponding State permit regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extend the North Pacific Groundfish Observer Program Beyond 2007</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service is amending its regulations under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, to extend the North Pacific Groundfish Observer Program (Observer Program) beyond 2007.  Regulations governing the Observer Program currently are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007.  This proposed rule would remove the sunset date and ensure the continued, uninterrupted collection of observer information.  This information is necessary for many current management and scientific programs for fisheries off the coast of Alaska.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 80 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 80 would provide specific groundfish allocations to the non-AFA trawl catcher/processor sector and allow the formation of fishing cooperatives within the sector.  Sector allocations and associated cooperatives would allow participants to focus less on harvest maximization and more on optimizing their harvest.  This in turn could allow reduction of incidental catch, improve retention, and improve utilization, while still improving the economic health of the harvesting and processing, all of which address the problem statement for Amendment 80.  Additional monitoring and enforcement provisions will ensure that the allocations are properly accounted.  The costs of these monitoring provisions would be less than the benefits from improved economic efficiency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 2007 Bluefin Tuna Quota Specifications and Effort Controls</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes specifications for the Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) fishery to set BFT quotas general category effort controls, and seasonal management measures for the 2007 fishing year (June 1, 2007-May 31, 2008).  This action will implement the U.S. annual BFT quota as recommended by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas and allocate that quota among the domestic fishing categories.  General category effort controls will allocate time-period subquotas and set certain restricted fishing days.  The seasonal management measures would propose daily retention limits and their duration for both the General and Angling categories.  The annual specification process is set forth in current regulations implemented under the Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan.  NMFS has also proposed to amend the Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan to, in part, amend the fishing year and abbreviate the duration of the 2007 fishing year (June 1, 2007-December 31, 2007) as a transition period.  Overall impacts to BFT fisheries from an abbreviated 2007 fishing year are anticipated to be minimal since BFT fisheries are already strictly managed with seasons, size limits, and subquotas.  This proposed action is not expected to change overall fishing effort.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, NMFS issues a rule to revise regulations implementing the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan (ALWTRP) by expanding the Southeast U.S. Restricted Area to include waters within 35 nautical miles of the South Carolina coast; dividing the Southeast U.S. Restricted Area into Southeast U.S. Areas North and South; and modifying regulations pertaining to gillnetting within the Southeast U.S. Restricted Area.  NMFS issues this rule under the ALWTRP regulations at 50 CFR 229.32 (g)(1) and (2).  These amendments are in response to a January 2006 death of a right whale calf from gillnet gear entanglement, and recommendations from the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Team's Mid-Atlantic Southeast Subgroup and the Marine Mammal Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 15 to the Pacific Coast Salmon Fishery Management Plan De Minimis Fishing Opportunity for Klamath River Fall Run Chinook Salmon </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of Amendment 15 is to provide limited opportunity for harvest when fisheries would otherwise be closed to mitigate severe economic consequences to local communities and States that would otherwise occur. The provisions of this amendment are designed to be implemented during times when the conservation objective for the Klamath River fall Chinook stock precludes fishery access to co-mingled Chinook salmon stocks.  While this amendment seeks to provide additional management flexibility in times of low Klamath River fall Chinook abundance, the overriding purpose of the Fishery Management Plan remains to preserve the long-term productive capacity of the stock and thereby ensure it continues to contribute meaningfully to ocean and river fisheries in the future.  This amendment is not designed to provide for a sizeable fishery, nor is it designed to allow fishing levels that would deplete the stock.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory rule revises the Federal Fishing Regulations part 679 that describe permit application requirements by adding, if not already included: (1) Social Security Number (SSN) or tax identification number (TIN); and (2) date of birth or date of incorporation.  This action is necessary to standardize the process for issuing permits across NMFS and comply with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), which requires Federal agencies to collect a TIN or SSN for all persons doing business with the government.  All existing and future applications for a permit, license, endorsement, transfer, or like instruments issued by NMFS will require the TIN or, in certain permits/applications, SSN of the applicant as well as the date of birth of individual applicants or date of incorporation no later than December 31, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment To Revise Electronic Reporting Software and Hardware Requirements of the Observer Communications System (OCS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action is necessary to revise regulations at  section 679.50(g)(1) and section 679.50(g)(2), which describe vessel and shoreside processor minimum software and hardware requirements for the Observer Communications System (OCS).  The OCS consists of custom software and communications equipment that groundfish observers use to enter data collected in the course of their duties and communicate this data by satellite link to observer program staff.  Additionally, the OCS is capable of sending text messages and observer program staff uses this function to provide support to observers while in the field.  Since its implementation, OCS requirements have been periodically upgraded through proposed and final rulemaking.  These upgrades have been necessary as commercially available software becomes obsolete or unsupported by its manufacturer, or NMFS must upgrade the software component of the OCS to increase the overall data quality and efficiency of the OCS system.  Rather than propose upgrades to specific hardware and software components necessary to support new OCS software, we propose to remove these specific requirements, and replace them with a requirement that each catcher vessel, catcher/processor, mothership, and shoreside or stationary floating processor already subject to OCS requirements provide hardware and software that is fully functional and operational with the NMFS supplied software.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS); Sea Turtle Handling Gear; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Retention Limits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would make mandatory the possession and use of additional sea turtle handling gear to facilitate dehooking of sea turtles (endangered or threatened depending on species) caught incidentally in pelagic or bottom longline gear for Atlantic HMS.  The benefit of this action is to maximize safe and efficient gear removal from incidentally captured sea turtles, minimizing the potential for serious injury or mortality potential from remaining gear.  

This rule would also modify the retention limit for Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) taken incidental to fishing for other species while in the Northeast Distant gear restricted area.  The intent of this change would be to simplify the management regime by implementing consistent regulations among management areas.

The measures in this action are consistent with the BFT rebuilding plan and with the HMS Fishery Management Plan.  This action is not significant under the meaning of E.O. 12866 since it is below the economic threshold of impact and has no novel policy issues associated with it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Georges Bank Cod Hook Sector Operations Plan and Agreement and Allocation of Georges Bank Cod Total Allowable Catch</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan approved creation of the Georges Bank Cod Hook Sector (Sector) in 2004, and created a process wherein the Sector is required to submit an annual operations plan in order to be approved to operate in a specific manner during a specific fishing year, and be allocated a total allowable catch (TAC) of Georges Bank cod for a fishing year.  This proposed rule would not implement regulations, but would solicit public comment on the proposed management measures under which the Sector would operate during fishing year 2007, and propose a specific 2007 Georges Bank cod TAC.  The Fishery Management Plan authorizes the Regional Administrator (NER) to approve the proposed operations plan after soliciting public comment through publication of a proposed rule in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Adjustment 7 to the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework Adjustment 7 would broaden the descriptions of the biological reference points (BRPs) contained within the fishery management plan (FMP) to allow for greater flexibility in those definitions, while maintaining objective and measurable status determination criteria for identifying when stocks or stock complexes are overfished.  The BRPs would be made more general in nature so that FMSY or reasonable proxies could be defined as any number of stock components.  This would be a departure from the somewhat rigidly defined BRPs contained in Amendment 12 to the FMP, but would remain consistent with National Standards 1 and 2.

This change would allow the best available peer-reviewed science on BRPs for any of the three FMP species to be used as the basis for developing management measures (e.g., total allowable landings) during the annual specification setting process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2007 Georges Bank Cod Fixed Gear Sector Operations Plan and TAC Allocation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework Adjustment 42 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan approved creation of the Georges Bank Cod Fixed Gear Sector (Fixed Gear Sector) in 2006, and created a process wherein the Sector is required to submit an annual operations plan in order to be approved to operate in a specific manner during a specific fishing year, and be allocated a total allowable catch (TAC) of Georges Bank cod for a fishing year.  This proposed rule would not implement regulations, but would solicit public comment on the proposed management measures under which the sector would operate during fishing year 2007, and propose a specific 2007 Georges Bank cod TAC.  The Fishery Management Plan authorizes the Regional Administrator (NER) to approve the proposed operations plan after soliciting public comment through publication of a proposed rule in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS); Temporary Suspension of Requirement To Use Circle Hooks in Atlantic Billfish Tournaments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would temporarily suspend regulations finalized in the Final Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Consolidated Fishery Management Plan (October 2, 2006; 71 FR 58058) that limits all HMS permitted vessels participating in Atlantic billfish tournaments to deploying only non-offset circle hooks when using natural baits or natural bait/artificial lure combinations.  The rule was effective January 1, 2007.  The purpose of this rule--to temporarily suspend the requirement to use circle hooks in Atlantic billfish tournaments--is to provide an additional fishing season for recreational anglers to become more familiar with circle hooks.  This action is not significant under the meaning of EO 12866 since it is below the economic threshold of impact and has no novel policy issues associated with it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Establish Catch Accounting Requirements for Processors/First Receivers Participating in the Pacific Whiting Shoreside Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rulemaking is to establish catch accounting requirements for persons who receive, buy, or accept Pacific whiting (whiting) deliveries of 4,000 pounds (lb) or more from vessels using mid-water trawl gear during the primary whiting season.  The action would improve NMFSs ability to effectively monitor the whiting fishery such that catch of whiting and incidentally caught species, including overfished groundfish species, do not result in a species' optimum yield (OY), harvest guideline, allocations, or bycatch limits being exceeded.  The action would also provide for timely reporting of Chinook salmon take as specified in the Endangered Species Act, section 7 Biological Opinion for Chinook Salmon Catch in the Pacific Groundfish Fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pacific Halibut Fisheries; Guided Sport Charter Vessel Fishery for Halibut</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes regulations that would restrict the harvest of halibut by persons fishing on a guided sport charter vessel in international Pacific Halibut Commission Regulatory Area 2C. The current sport-fishing catch or bag limit of two halibut per day is proposed to be changed for a person sport-fishing on a charter vessel in Area 2C to require that at least one of the two fish taken in a day be no more than 32 inches in length. This proposed regulatory change is necessary to reduce the halibut harvest in the charter vessel sector while minimizing negative impacts on this sector, its sport fishing clients, and the coastal communities that serve as home ports for the fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Fisheries of Northeastern United States; Northeast Multispecies Fishery; Allocation of Trips in Closed Area II Yellowtail Flounder Special Access Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would allocate zero trips to the Closed Area II Yellowtail Flounder Special Access Program for the 2007 fishing year.  Based on the U.S./Canada Georges Bank yellowtail flounder total allowable catch, which was recommended by the Transboundary Management Guidance Committee and the New England Fishery Management Council for the 2007 fishing year (900 mt), and using the approved formula to determine the appropriate number of trips for fishing year 2007, there would be insufficient GB yellowtail flounder TAC to support the CA II Yellowtail Flounder SAP for the 2007 fishing year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would implement the 2007 Pacific Whiting Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) and Optimum Yield (OY) for the U.S. West Coast Exclusive Economic Zone.  A proposed range of Pacific whiting ABC/OY was published as part of the 2007-2008 West Coast groundfish harvest specifications and management measures package (71 FR 57764, September 29, 2006.)  At its March 2007 meeting, the Pacific Fishery Management Council reviewed the Pacific whiting stock assessment for 2007 and made its final recommendations for the 2007 ABC/OY.  NMFS is finalizing that recommendation through this action, which amends Table 1a to 50 CFR 660, subpart G to implement a 2007 U.S. ABC of 452,196 mt, and a 2007 U.S. OY of 242,591 mt.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) adopted a control date of March 16, 2007, applicable to persons who are contemplating entering the pelagic charter fishery in Hawaii.  The purpose of this action is to notify fishermen who may be interested in participating in the pelagic charter fishery after March 16, 2007, that they may not be assured of future access to the fishery if the Council and/or the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) decide to limit entry, or impose other measures to manage the fishery.  Neither the Council nor NMFS has yet decided whether to limit new entry or impose other measures in this fishery, nor have they decided what other management measures might be implemented for the fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Restrict Entry to the Pacific Whiting Primary Fishery in 2007 in the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prohibition of new entry to the directed whiting fishery is critical to ensuring that there will not be serious conservation and management problems in the fishery in 2007.  New entry to the fishery would likely lead to a race for fish with excessive bycatch of overfished rockfish and endangered and threatened salmonids as well as serious disruption of established other groundfish fishery sectors.  Several species of rockfish are overfished, and there are very low incidental catch limits on them in the whiting fishery; if the limit is reached for any such species, all whiting fishing must cease.  If there is excessive catch, then further restraints must be imposed on other groundfish fishing sectors, which are already under major economic stress.  New entry to the whiting fishery would lead to more fishing early in the season, when salmonid interception rates are much higher, so that the limit on salmon catch would likely be exceeded as well.  Therefore, it is necessary to prohibit new entry in 2007 while the Pacific Fishery Management Council completes an amendment to its Groundfish Fishery Management Plan to resolve the long-term capacity issue for the whiting fishery.  The action will maintain the status quo, resulting in a healthier whiting fishery, no excessive bycatch, and no further restriction of other groundfish sectors.  No vessels that participated in the fishery prior to 2007 will be forced out of the fishery, and only one vessel that made investments in 2006 for prospective entry to the fishery in 2007 will be restricted; for this party, there is a special provision to allow recapture of much if not all of that investment if desired.  Most coastal interests (including the States) supported this action.  There are no administrative or management costs to this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Biennial Specifications and Management Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 29, 2006, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) published a final rule to implement the 2007-2008 West Coast groundfish harvest specifications and management measures (71 FR 78638).  That rule mistakenly published the latitude/longitude coordinates for the South Coast Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area in the incorrect sequence; this final action re-publishes those coordinates in the correct sequence.  That rule also published incorrect latitude/longitude coordinates for the petrale-modified 180 fm line approximation and the petrale-modified 250 fm line approximation.  That rule also added a closed area for the Pacific whiting fishery that could be implemented through automatic action.  This action clarifies language describing whiting closed areas at 50 CFR 660.373(c) and corrects latitude/longitude coordinates at 50 CFR 660.390 and 660.394.  On April 18, 2007, NMFS published a final rule implementing in-season revisions to groundfish management measures and implementing the 2007 Pacific whiting optimum yield and acceptable biological catch levels (72 FR 19390).  That rule mistakenly did not revise the 2007 tribal whiting allocation in accordance with the changes from the 2006 to 2007 optimum yields.  This action also corrects 50 CFR 660.385(e) to ensure that the tribal whiting allocation amount is correctly noted in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of Control Date for For-Hire Fishery of the South Atlantic Region</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At the June 2007 Council meeting the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council voted to establish March 8, 2007 as a control date for all for-hire permits issued in the South Atlantic Exclusive Economic Zone in order to address the rapidly increasing number of participants in the fishery.  The establishment of this control date does not commit the Council or NOAA Fisheries Service to any particular management regime or criteria for entry into this fishery.  Fishermen would not be guaranteed future participation in the fishery regardless of their entry date or intensity of participation in the fishery before or after the control date under consideration.  The Council may choose to use a different control date, or  to give the variably weighted consideration to fishermen active in the fishery before and after the control date.  Other qualifying criteria, such as documentation of landings and sales, may be applied for entry into the fishery.  The Council may choose to take no further action to control entry or access to the fishery in which case the control date may be rescinded.]]></ABSTRACT>

For example, (1) the requirements for filing appeal briefs are changed to reorganize the manner in which the appeal brief and reply brief are presented, (2) lengths of briefs would be established to shorten briefs, (3) times for taking action in an appeal would be reduced, and (4) authority to decide requests for extensions of time to file certain documents would be assigned to the Chief Administrative Patent Judge obtained by petition.

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Rules of Practice Before the Board of Appeals and Interferences in Ex Parte Appeals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is revising the rules of practice with respect to ex parte appeals before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences.  For example, (1) the requirements for filing an appeal brief are changed to reorganize the manner in which the appeal brief and reply brief are presented, (2) lengths of briefs would be established to shorten briefs, (3) times for taking action in an appeal would be reduced, and (4) authority to decide requests for extensions of time to file certain documents would be assigned to the Chief Administrative Patent Judge obtained by petition.  The change is not related to the USPTO's Strategic Plan.  The change is expected to have some positive impact on the USPTO's appeal backlog and pendency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action informs the public that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is considering amending its rules of practice to require submission of chemical and three-dimensional (3-D) biological structural data in electronic format.  The USPTO anticipates that requiring submission of chemical and 3-D biological structural data in electronic format in patent applications will improve the processing and examination of patent applications that include such data, as well as the dissemination of such data to searchable public databases.  The purpose of this notice is to encourage comments on this topic, in the form of responses to the questions posed in this action, from industry, academia, the patent bars, and members of the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Practice for Continuing Applications, Requests for Continued Examination Practice, and Applications Containing Patentably Indistinct Claims</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office revises the rules of practice to share the burden of examining an application if the applicant has filed multiple continuing applications or multiple requests for continued examination.  The revised rules would require that second or subsequent continuation applications and second or subsequent requests for continued examination of an application include a showing as to why the amendment, argument, or evidence presented was not previously submitted.  The revised rules would also ease the burden of examining multiple applications that have the same effective filing date, overlapping disclosure, a common inventor, and common assignee by requiring that all patentably indistinct claims in such applications be submitted in a single application absent good and sufficient reason.  These changes would allow the Office to apply the patent examining resources currently absorbed by multiple continuing applications and requests for continued examination that simply recycle earlier applications to the examination of new applications and thus allow the Office to reduce the backlog of unexamined applications.  This will mean faster, more efficient examination for the typical applicant without any additional work on the applicant's part, but a small minority of applicants who consume a disproportionate share of Agency resources will be required to share the burden they place on the Agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Practice for the Examination of Claims in Patent Applications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A small but significant minority of applications contain an excessive number of claims, which makes effective examination of such applications problematic.  The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (Office) revises the rules of practice to share the burden of examining applications containing an excessive number of claims.  Specifically, the Office amends the rules to provide that if an application contains more than ten independent claims, the applicant must provide a patentability report that covers all of the independent claims in the application.  In addition, the Office amends the rules to provide that the Office will give a separate examination only to those dependent claims expressly elected for separate examination, and that the applicant must provide a patentability report that covers all of the independent claims and elected dependent claims in the application if the number of independent claims plus the number of dependent claims elected for examination is greater than ten.  The changes would allow the Office to apply the patent examining resources currently absorbed by applications that contain an excessive number of claims to the examination of new applications, and thus allow the Office to reduce the backlog of unexamined applications.  This would mean faster more effective examination for the typical applicant without any additional work on the applicant's part, but a small minority of applicants who consume a disproportionate share of agency resources will be required to share the burden they place on the Agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Information Disclosure Statement Requirements and Other Related Matters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (Office) amends its regulations on information disclosure statement (IDS) requirements and other related matters to improve the quality and efficiency of the examination process.  These changes would enable the examiner to focus in on the relevant portions of submitted prior art at the very beginning of the examination process, give higher quality first actions, and minimize wasted steps.  This action would make the following changes relating to submissions of IDS's by applicants: impose a requirement for the personal review of, and to provide information about, certain citations; eliminate the fees for, but permit only timely, IDS submissions; and only permit the filing of an IDS after the mailing of a notice of allowance if a claim is admitted to be unpatentable and a narrowing amendment is also submitted.  The Office would also permit third parties to submit prior art up until the mailing of a notice of allowance after application publication; to no longer permit an IDS to meet the submission requirement for a request for continued examination (RCE); to permit, after payment of the issue fee, certain amendments and petitions so applicants will not have to file a continuation application or an RCE for such items; and to revise the protest rule to better set forth options that applicants have for dealing with unsolicited information received from third parties.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pre-Brief Appeal Conference for Patent Applications Under Appeal to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (Office) has established a pilot pre-brief appeal conference program.  This action would change the rules of practice to implement a more permanent pre-brief appeal conference program.  The pre-brief appeal conference program offers patent applicants an avenue to request that a panel of examiners review the legal and factual basis of the rejections in their patent application prior to the filing of an appeal brief.  The pre-brief appeal conference program is designed to spare applicants the added time and expense of preparing an appeal brief if a panel review determines that there is no legal or factual basis for the rejections in an application under appeal.  Although the pre-brief appeal conference program would not be appropriate for every application under appeal, in proper situations it can save the resources of both the applicant and the Office.  Applicants continue to have available to them the current practice and procedures for appeals before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, regardless of whether the applicant requests a pre-brief appeal conference or the result of the pre-brief appeal conference.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Examination Practice for Means- (or Step-) Plus-Function Claim Elements in Patent Applications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is revising the rules of practice to provide for the treatment of means- (or step-) plus-function claim elements under 35 U.S.C. 112, 6, in proceedings before the Office.  The Office is proposing that an applicant must use the phrase  "means for" or "step for" to have a claim element considered a means- (or step-) plus-function claim element under 35 U.S.C. 112, 6, during a proceeding before the Office.  The Office also is proposing that the specification of a patent application that includes one or more means- (or step-) plus-function claim elements under 35 U.S.C. 112, 6, must contain or be amended to contain a separate section that specifies the structure, material, or acts that correspond to each such means- (or step-) plus-function claim element under 35 U.S.C. 112, 6.  The Office is also proposing to provide for the conditions under which a prior art element may be presumed to be an equivalent of a means- (or step-) plus-function claim element under 35 U.S.C. 112, 6, and how an applicant must rebut a presumption that a prior art element is the equivalent of a means- (or step-) plus-function claim element under 35 U.S.C. 112, 6, during proceedings before the Office.  These changes will reduce the burden of examining means- (or step-) plus-function claim elements under 35 U.S.C. 112, 6, and result in a clearer prosecution record in applications containing means- (or step-) plus-function claim elements under 35 U.S.C. 112, 6.]]></ABSTRACT>

The changes will provide that the public has access to biological materials referenced in the disclosure of a patent application to the same extent that access to the remainder of the disclosure is available.  When any item is referenced in the disclosure of a patent application publication or patent, then a special circumstance exists that warrants release of the referenced item.  The public policy basis for allowing access to a referenced item is the same whether the item is another patent application or a deposited biological material.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Examination of Patent Applications That Include Claims Containing Alternative Language</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is considering revising the rules of practice to address Markush-type and other claims written so as to claim an invention in the alternative.  The search and examination of Markush-type and other claims written in the alternative generally consume a disproportionate amount of Office resources as compared to other types of claims, because these claims can encompass multiple independent and distinct inventions and determining the patentability of such a claim may require a separate examination of each of the alternatives within the claim.  The Office anticipates that requiring applicants who choose this claim-drafting format to ensure a certain degree of relatedness among the members of a Markush group or the alternatives presented in the claims will allow the Office to do a better, more thorough and reliable examination of Markush-type and other claims written in the alternative.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Implement Preexamination Search Reports</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. 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 21st Century Strategic Plan addresses patent pendency through (inter alia) the continued aggressive hiring of examining staff and the exploitation of search reports from other intellectual property (IP) authorities and from commercial search contractors.  The Office is concerned that the aggressive hiring of examining staff and exploitation of search reports from others may be insufficient to address patent pendency in the near future, for example, due to limits on the volume of new examiners that can realistically be absorbed and restrictions on the Office's ability to obtain search reports from commercial search contractors.  Therefore, the Office is exploring requiring applicants to provide a preexamination search report. The Office anticipates that if applicants provide preexamination reports, the examination of applications will be better streamlined and more focused thereby resulting in higher quality and more timely issued patents.  Because applicants are, generally, in the unique position of possessing the greatest knowledge of their claimed invention and, in many instances, an extensive knowledge of the prior art most pertinent to their claimed invention, requiring applicants to share this knowledge and expertise with the Office is highly conducive to achieving the common goal of the Office and the public, namely high quality patents.  Further, the need to focus unduly broad claims will become apparent to the applicant through the process of providing a preexamination search report.  In addition, with a preexamination search report, examiners will begin the examination process with a greater understanding of the claimed invention and with, perhaps, the best prior art already available.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Procedures for Deferral of Examination of an Application for Patent</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) rules of practice for the examination of patent applications currently have a procedure under which an applicant may request deferral of examination of a patent application.  This deferral of examination procedure, however, was used in fewer than 200 patent applications in fiscal year 2005.  Therefore, the Office is proposing to revise the deferral of examination procedure for patent applications to increase the attractiveness and usage of that procedure.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Office revises the rules of practice to clarify the substantial new question of patentability standard for a second or subsequent request for ex parte reexamination or inter partes reexamination, and to provide for a request for continued reexamination practice to permit entry of a limited number of submissions after a final rejection or action in an ex parte reexamination or inter partes reexamination.  The Office also revises the rules of practice to require compliance with all the requirements of filing an inter partes reexamination before a filing date will be assigned to an inter partes reexamination, and to prohibit supplemental patent owner responses to an Office action in an inter partes reexamination without a showing of cause.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The proposed rule notice entitled &quot;Revision of Patent Fees for Fiscal Year 2007&quot; published in the Federal Register on June 5, 2006, proposed to adjust certain patent fee amounts to reflect fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as well as a few patent fee amounts that track the affected fees.  When the proposed rule was published, it was anticipated, but not certain, if legislation would be enacted that extended the revisions in the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA).  

If legislation were enacted, then Option 1 of this proposed rule would apply.  If, for any period during FY 2007, the fee revisions in the CAA were not in effect, then Option 2 of this proposed rule would apply and the fee adjustment would apply to the former fee amounts that were in place on October 1, 2004, to December 7, 2004, prior to enactment of the CAA.

Based upon anticipated action, and then the enactment of the CAA by Congress, a decision was made by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) not to adjust fees by the CPI for FY 2007.  On October 3, 2006, a notice was also published on the USPTO Internet entitled &quot;IMPORTANT NOTICE - Patent and Trademark Fees - Fiscal Year 2007&quot; to inform customers that based upon anticipated action by the U.S. Congress, USPTO&apos;s current patent and trademark fee schedule would continue in effect on October 1, 2006, and beyond.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), under its 35 U.S.C. section 2 authority to prescribe procedural rules, is seeking comment on alternatives to provisions of its current Rule 1.56, establishing obligations to disclose information to the Office in patent application prosecution.  The notice will also articulate how the USPTO interprets the implementation of its ethics rules concerning registered patent practitioners for information disclosure.  Finally, the notice recognizes the influence of the judicial doctrine of inequitable conduct on submission to the USPTO and seeks public comment on the extent of that influence and possible alternatives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>April 2007 Revision of Patent Cooperation Treaty Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is proposing to amend the rules of practice to conform them to certain amendments made to the Regulations under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) that will take effect on April 1, 2007.  These amendments will result in the addition of a mechanism to the PCT system whereby applicants may request that the right to claim priority be restored in applications that meet certain requirements.  In addition, these amendments will provide a means for applicants to insert a missing portion of an international application without the loss of the international filing date.  These amendments also will clarify the circumstances and procedures under which the correction of an obvious mistake may be made in an international application.  Finally, the USPTO is proposing to revise the search fee for international applications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Automated Export System and Shippers Export Declaration--Requirement To Show Paragraphs in Export Control Classification Numbers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Export Administration Regulations currently require that the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) be entered for certain exports from the United States. The lists of items in some ECCNs is further broken down by paragraphs that describe the items covered by that ECCN with greater precision.  In some instances, the export license requirements, availability of license exceptions and license application review policy are affected by that paragraph designation. BIS is considering requiring that paragraph designations be included in the ECCN field on Automated Export System entries and on paper Shipper's Export Declarations. Requiring that additional information would, in some transactions, allow BIS to determine more quickly the accuracy of a claimed use of authority to ship without a license or pursuant to an license exception.  In addition, this information would enable BIS to target its end-use checks of exports more effectively because it could select items of the greatest significance without extensive follow-up information from the exporter. By taking advantage of the additional information, BIS could make more effective use of its limited enforcement resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Action Providing for Order To Stop Specific Exports or Reexports Otherwise Eligible Under Designation NLR </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding a new revocation and suspension order to part 750.  This revocation and suspension order clarifies the authority of BIS to issue an order informing any person that a license is required for the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of a specific item or items subject to the EAR to a specific destination and/or consignee (ultimate or intermediate), that would otherwise be eligible for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) under designation NLR, when BIS has reasonable grounds to believe a violation of the EAR has occurred, is about to occur, or is intended to occur in connection with the export, reexport or transfer (in-country) in question.  This rule also consolidates in that same section in part 750 the related administrative measure for the revision, suspension or revocation of license exceptions that was formerly in section 740.2(b).  In that same section of part 750, this rule clarifies that BIS may suspend, revise or revoke a license for certain non-enforcement related reasons (e.g., administrative or procedural error).  This rule also clarifies several provisions of the EAR to indicate that "No License Required" is not an authorization to export, but a designation that an export or reexport does not require a license from BIS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Additional Protocol Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Following ratification by the United States of the Protocol Additional to the Agreement Between the United States of America and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the Application of Safeguards in the United States of America (AP or Protocol), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) proposes to establish the Additional Protocol Regulations (APR) to implement the provisions of the Protocol affecting U.S. industry and other U.S. persons.

The model Additional Protocol requires enhanced information collection and access to provide IAEA inspectors with greater ability to detect clandestine nuclear activities in non-nuclear weapons states (NNWS), and covers almost all of a state's nuclear fuel cycle.  The United States, as a nuclear weapons state (NWS) party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), is not obligated to accept IAEA safeguards on its nuclear activities.  However, the United States voluntarily signed the U.S. Additional Protocol on June 12, 1998.  In this U.S. Additional Protocol, the United States accepts all of the measures of the Model Protocol, except where their application would result in access by the IAEA to activities with direct national security significance to the United States or to locations or information associated with such activities.

Declarations submitted under the U.S. Additional Protocol would provide the IAEA with information about additional aspects of the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle and other nuclear material activities not currently subject to the U.S. Safeguards Agreement.  There are no routine inspections under the U.S. Additional Protocol, but IAEA inspectors may be provided access (referred to as "complementary access") to the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle to assure the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities or where there is a question or an inconsistency about the completeness or correctness of the U.S. declaration, which could relate to declared or undeclared industrial locations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conforming Changes to Certain End-User/End-Use Based Controls in the EAR; Clarification of the Term Transfer and Related Terms as Used in the EAR</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) proposes to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by making conforming changes in certain end-user/end-use controls in the EAR to ensure that the terminology used to describe each type of end-user/end-use control is consistent, to the fullest extent possible, with the terminology in other such controls in the EAR.  The proposed amendments would clarify that a party cannot proceed with an export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) that is in transit at the time the party is informed by BIS that a license is required (in accordance with certain end-user/end-use controls in the EAR), unless that party first obtains a license from BIS authorizing the completion of the transaction.  These proposed changes to part 744 are intended to enhance the ability of BIS to stop items subject to the EAR, including items not on the Commerce Control List, from being exported, reexported or transferred (in-country) when there is an unacceptable risk that such items will be used in, or diverted to, any of the proliferation activities specified in sections 744.2, 744.3, 744.4 and 744.6 of the EAR.  This rule also proposes to amend the EAR by revising the definition of the term transfer and certain related terms, to provide greater clarity regarding these provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would suggest amending the Export Administration Regulations by removing License Exception GBS for certain microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMICs) power amplifiers that can be used in phased array radar systems and TSR eligibility for related software and technology controlled on the Commerce Control List.  License Exception GBS authorizes exports and reexports to Country Group B destinations when a commodity requires a license to such destinations for national security reasons only.  License Exception TSR permits exports and reexports of technology and software to Group B destinations where the Commerce Country Chart (Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) indicates a license for national security reasons only.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to License Requirements for Certain Thermal Imaging Cameras Incorporating Focal Plane Arrays
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends its regulations to remove the regional stability reason for control from certain thermal imaging cameras that incorporate focal plane arrays and the regional stability reason for control for other such cameras.  This rule describes the cameras affected by this change in terms of performance level measured by frame rate and pixel count.  These reductions in unilateral U.S. license requirements for exports and reexports of certain thermal imaging cameras are warranted by increased foreign production of cameras with performance capabilities equal to or better than the cameras affected by this rule.

BIS has concluded that these circumstances warrant a limited revision, based on performance level, of regional stability controls on thermal imaging cameras that incorporate focal plane arrays.  Accordingly, this rule removes regional stability as a reason for control from certain relatively lower performance level cameras and replaces the RS 1 reason for control with a RS 2 reason for control for certain higher performance level cameras.  This rule retains the RS 1 reason for control for cameras with high levels of performance.  These revised licensing requirements remove the license requirement for exports and reexports of certain thermal imaging cameras to regions that already produce thermal imaging cameras in significant volumes or can readily obtain such cameras from other countries without an export license.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation in the Export Administration Regulations of the United States&apos; Rescission of Libya&apos;s Designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism and Revisions Applicable to Iraq</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the decision of the United States on June 29, 2006, to rescind Libya's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism.  To implement that change, BIS amends the EAR by removing Libya from the list of terrorist supporting countries in Country Group E:1, and by making other conforming amendments and related revisions throughout the EAR.  In particular, Libya is added to Country Group D:1 but remains in Country Groups D:2, D:3, and D:4.  This rule is consistent with the President's May 12, 2006, report to Congress certifying that Libya did not provide any support for international terrorism during the preceding six months and that Libya has provided assurances that it will not support future acts of international terrorism.    

This rule also revises the EAR to reflect the fact that, in October 2004, the United States rescinded Iraq's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism.  As a result of the rescission of this designation, BIS may no longer control for anti-terrorism (AT) reasons items for which BIS previously required a license for export or reexport to Iraq, or for transfer within Iraq.  Note that BIS now controls these items for regional stability (RS) reasons and continues to require a license for their export or reexport to Iraq, or transfer within Iraq.  This rule also amends the EAR to delete all references to Iraq's status as a Designated State Sponsor of Terrorism.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Authorization To Impose License Requirements for Exports and Reexports to Entities Acting Contrary to the United States National Security or Foreign Policy Interests</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises section 744.20 to authorize the Bureau of Industry and Security  (BIS) to add to the Entity List entities that BIS has reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, are or have been involved in activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States or to those acting on behalf of such entities.

With this rule, the United States government would be able to conduct prior review of proposed exports and reexports to such recipients to the degree necessary to protect its interests.  BIS would be able to tailor license requirements and availability of license exceptions for exports and reexports to parties who have taken or who are taking actions that are contrary to United States national security or foreign policy interests without imposing additional license requirements that apply broadly to entire destinations or items.  BIS believes that such selective application of license requirements and exceptions will provide the flexibility to deter use of items that are subject to the Export Administration Regulations in ways that are inimical to the interests of the United States with minimal costs to and disruption of legitimate trade.

This rule also would provide a procedure for parties on the Entity List to request that their entries be removed or modified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Export License Application Review Policy and End Use Verification Policy To Implement the July 2006 Recommendations of the Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises export and reexport license application review policy toward Cuba with respect to vessels and aircraft on temporary sojourn, and medical devices and medical equipment.  It also makes clear that licenses for export or reexport of medical devices, medical equipment, and certain aircraft on temporary sojourn to Cuba will be issued with conditions imposing verification and reporting requirements.  This rule implements recommendations and policy objectives of section VI of  the July 2006 report to the president of the Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba.

Section VI of that report addressed the topic of denying revenue to the Castro regime and emphasized the need to maintain economic pressure on the regime.  Generally, the changes made by this rule favor the use of regular commercial carriers to carry lawful exports and travelers to Cuba as opposed to non-commercial aircraft or boats in order to limit the landing, docking, or other fees that the Cuban government can collect.  The verification and reporting requirements that will be imposed by licenses for medical devices and equipment are to make sure that such devices and equipment are used for the benefit of the Cuban people.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>December 2006 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Agreement Implementation: CCL Cats. 1, 2, 3, 5 Pts. I, 6, 7, 8, and 9; Wassenaar Report Requirements; Definitions; and Statements of Understanding of Source</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL), which identifies items subject to Department of Commerce export controls.  This final rule revises the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement changes made to the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar List), and Statements of Understanding maintained and agreed to by governments participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement, or WA).  The Wassenaar Arrangement advocates implementation of effective export controls on strategic items with the objective of improving regional and international security and stability.  To harmonize with the changes to the Wassenaar List, this rule revises the EAR by amending certain entries that are controlled for national security reasons in Categories 1, 2, 3, 5 part I (telecommunications), 6, 7, 8, and 9; and adding new entries to the Commerce Control List, amending EAR Definitions and reporting requirements, as well as adding new definitions and reporting requirements to the EAR, and adding a new Statement of Understanding on source code. 

The purpose of this final rule is to make the necessary changes to the CCL, definitions of terms used in the EAR, and Wassenaar reporting requirements to implement Wassenaar List revisions that were agreed upon in the December 2006 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Meeting. 

This rule also adds or expands unilateral U.S. controls and national security controls on certain items to make them consistent with the amendments made to implement the Wassenaar Arrangement's decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the Regional Stability and Chemical and Biological Export Controls in the Export Administration Regulations.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations to revise the Regional Stability and Chemical and Biological export controls for a number of countries.  This rule removes certain export license requirements based on regional stability controls for Austria, Finland, India, Ireland, South Korea, Sweden, and Switzerland, because these countries are either members of or adhere to most if not all of the multilateral export control regimes, e.g., Wassenaar Arrangement, Nuclear Suppliers Group, Missile Technology Control Regime, and the Australia Group.  In addition, this rule removes certain export license requirements based on chemical and biological controls for India, because it is a signatory to the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention and does not pose a proliferation risk.  This rule also makes editorial corrections and harmonizing revisions to the sections of the EAR that describe regional stability and chemical and biological controls, as well as making a license requirement correction to Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 0A018.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Understandings Reached at the June 2007 Australia Group (AG) Plenary Meeting; Addition to the List of States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the understandings reached at the June 2007 plenary meeting of the Australia Group (AG).  Specifically, this rule amends the EAR to reflect changes to the AG "Control List of Biological Agents" by revising Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 1C352 on the Commerce Control List (CCL), which controls certain animal pathogens, to include only the specific subspecies and strains of mycoplasma mycoides that are of most concern as the causative agents of disease in animals.  This rule also amends the EAR to reflect the addition of "Croatia" to the AG.  In addition, this rule updates a reference to the World Health Organization (WHO) "Laboratory Biosafety Manual" in ECCN 2B352, which controls certain equipment capable of use in handling biological materials.  Finally, this rule amends the list of countries that are States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) by adding "Barbados" and revising the footnote to the entry for "China" to indicate that, for CWC purposes only, China includes "Macau," as well as "Hong Kong."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>De Minimis Expansion of Eligibility: U.S.-Origin Software Incorporated Into Foreign-Made Commodities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Commerce is revising the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that pertain to foreign-made items that incorporate a percentage of U.S.-origin items, i.e., de minimis rules.  Industry has been requesting revision of these rules because of advancement of technology and business modes.  This rule amends the EAR to allow foreign produced hardware that is bundled with U.S.-origin software to be eligible for de minimis consideration.  This rule also revises the definition of "incorporate." This rule also removes the requirement to submit a one-time report to the Bureau of Industry and Security for foreign-made software that incorporates U.S.-origin software.  In addition, this rule revises the "Steps for Using the EAR" with regard to the de minimis rule in order to make corresponding revisions to other parts of the EAR that are amended by this rule.]]></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 new License Exception GOV provisions authorize exports and reexports of a broader range of items than those currently eligible under the IAEA-Euratom provisions of License Exception GOV, because exports and reexports under these new License Exception GOV provisions are authorized only in connection with official international inspection and verification activities by the IAEA under the terms of the U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreement, as amended by the Additional Protocol.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the Export Administration Regulations by removing License Exception GBS for certain microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMICs) power amplifiers that can be used in phased array radar systems and TSR eligibility for related software and technology controlled on the Commerce Control List.  License Exception GBS authorizes exports and reexports to Country Group B destinations when a commodity requires a license to such destinations for national security reasons only.  License Exception TSR permits exports and reexports of technology and software to Group B destinations where the Commerce Country Chart (Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) indicates a license for national security reasons only.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations: UDOC &quot;Change in Inspection Status Form&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations (CWCR) to expedite the collection of information concerning the inspection status of plant sites that produce unscheduled discrete organic chemicals (UDOCs) subject to the declaration requirements of the CWCR.  The CWCR include requirements to report certain activities, involving scheduled chemicals and unscheduled discrete organic chemicals (UDOCs), and to provide access for on-site verification by international inspectors of certain facilities and locations in the United States.  Specifically, this rule would amend the CWCR by revising the annual declaration requirements for UDOCs to permit a "declared" plant site currently subject to inspection, which anticipates that its production of UDOCs during the current calendar year will be below the inspection threshold level indicated in the CWCR, to submit a "Change in Inspection Status Form" to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) by December 15th of the current calendar year.  The information provided to BIS by this new form would ensure that the plant site would not be subject to inspection during the first 90 days of the next calendar year, which is the period when the United States compiles its annual declaration on past activities for submission to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).  This rule would create an expedited mechanism for determining which UDOC plant sites would be subject to inspection, thereby allowing the United States to notify the OPCW concerning the inspection status of UDOC plant sites prior to the submission of the U.S. declaration to the OPCW and enabling the OPCW to schedule inspections of UDOC facilities in the United States on a year-round basis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement changes to export and reexport controls with respect to Libya.  Specifically, in this rule, BIS establishes a License Exception authorizing the export or reexport to U.S. persons in Libya of certain items listed on the Commerce Control List and controlled for anti-terrorism (AT) reasons.  This rule is consistent with the President's decision to modify United States' sanctions against Libya, in response to Libya's continuing efforts to dismantle its weapons of mass destruction and missile programs and its renunciation of terrorism.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions and Clarification of Export and Reexport Controls for the People&apos;s Republic of China (PRC); New License Exception Certified End-User 

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising and clarifying United States policy on exports and reexports of goods and technology to the People's Republic of China (PRC).  The proposed amendments include a revision to the licensing review policy for items controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL) for reasons of national security, including a new control based on positive knowledge of a military end-use on exports to the PRC of certain CCL items that otherwise do not require a license to the PRC.  In addition, this rule would require exporters to obtain an End-User Certificate, issued by the PRC Ministry of Commerce, for all items that require a license to the PRC for any reason and that exceed a total value of $5,000.  This rule also would eliminate the requirement that exporters submit PRC End-User Certificates to BIS as required to support documentation provided with the license application; but would require exporters to include the serial number of the PRC End-User Certificate in an appropriate field of the license application, and to retain the PRC End-User Certificate in accordance with the recordkeeping provisions of the EAR. Finally, this rule would create a new procedure for validated end-users to whom eligible items may be exported or reexported to eligible destinations, including the PRC.  These proposed amendments are consistent with the policy of the United States Government to prevent U.S. exports to the PRC that would make a material contribution to the PRC's military capability, while facilitating U.S. exports to legitimate civil end-users.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to General Order No. 3: Expansion of the General Order and Addition of Certain Persons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security is revising the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by amending a general order published in the Federal Register on June 5, 2006, and later amended on September 6, 2006, to add nine additional persons.  The general order imposed a license requirement for exports and reexports of all items subject to the EAR where the transaction involved Mayrow General Trading ("Mayrow") or entities related, as specified in that general order.  The order also prohibited the use of License Exceptions for exports or reexports of any items subject to the EAR involving such entities.

This rule will expand the general order and add 16 additional persons to it. Pursuant to the expansion, the general order will cover: (i) Persons regarding whom the U.S. Government possesses information of affiliation or relationship to Mayrow; and (ii) other persons regarding whom the U.S. Government possesses information concerning the acquisition or attempted acquisition of commodities capable of being used to construct IEDs, as well as persons who are related to or affiliated with such persons.  The order will apply to persons specifically listed who fit within either of these two groups.  To reflect this expansion, this rule will update the heading of the general order to use the term "persons."

In total, pursuant to this expansion, this rule will add the following 16 persons to the general order, listed in alphabetical order: Al-Faris; Ali Akbar Yahya; Amir Mohammad Zahedi; EKT Electronics; Encyclopedia Electronics Center; Frank Lam; GBNTT; Majid Seif; Mohammed Katranji; Neda Industrial Group; Nedayeh Micron Electronics; Sayed-Ali Hosseini; Speedy Electronics Ltd.; United Sources Industrial Enterprises; Vast Solution Sdn Bhd.; and Y-Sing Components Limited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This follow-up correction rule makes changes to the March 22, 2007, final rule, which made corrections to the April 24, 2006, final rule that implemented the new formula for calculating computer performance in Weighted TeraFLOPS.  This rule corrects the availability of the license exception for technology and software under restriction for specified "software" and "technology" for computers.  These additional changes are intended to correct the scope of the license exception in certain Export Control Classification Numbers that were unintentionally narrowed by the prior correction rule.  In addition, this rule corrects a reference to a nonexistent Export Control Classification Number found in specified "technology" for computers.]]></ABSTRACT>

Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would update Export Administration Regulations (EAR) legal authority citations that are displayed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to include the latest Presidential determination indicating the continuation of the emergency that justifies the implementation of the EAR pursuant to the President's authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.  That finding of emergency was declared in Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001.  The authority to continue the EAR in effect has been extended annually by Presidential notices stating that the emergency described in Executive Order 13222 is continuing.  The last such notice was issued in August 2006 and the Bureau of Industry and Security anticipates that the president will issue another such notice in August 2007.  This rule would update the legal authority citation paragraph for each EAR part in the CFR to cite the August 2007 notice.  This rule would make no changes to the text of the EAR.]]></ABSTRACT>

In particular, the primary focus will be to incentivize proactive business process improvement activities that identify increased efficiencies, cost avoidance, and cost savings and provide the greatest motivation for contractors to share related savings with the DoN to the maximum extent practicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Corps proposed to revise its Nationwide Permit Program regulations at 33 CFR part 330 to address changes in regulatory procedures and policy that have occurred since those regulations were last revised in 1991.  The Corps proposed to revise the regulation to increase the pre-construction notification review period to 45 days, to be consistent with the current nationwide permits.  The Corps also proposed to amend the regulation to allow district engineers to issue verification letters that can have the same expiration date as the nationwide permit.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Reserve and Guard Family Member Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement the authority granted the Secretary of Defense under sections 704 and 705 of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005.  These provisions would apply to eligible family members who become eligible for TRICARE as a result of their Reserve Component (RC) sponsor (including those with delayed effective date orders up to 90 days) being called or ordered to active duty for more than 30 days in support of a Federal/contingency operation and choose to participate in TRICARE Standard or Extra, rather than enroll in TRICARE Prime.  The first provision would waive the annual TRICARE Standard (or Extra) deductible, which is set by law (10 U.S.C. 1079(b)) at $150 per individual and $300 per family ($50/$150 for families of members in pay grades E-4 and below).  The second provision would increase TRICARE payments up to 115 percent of the TRICARE maximum allowable charge, less the applicable patient cost share if not previously waived under the first provision, for covered outpatient health services received from a provider that does not participate (accept assignment) with TRICARE.  These provisions would help ensure timely access to health care and maintain clinically appropriate continuity of health care to family members of Reservists and Guardsmen activated in support of a Federal/contingency operation; limit the out-of-pocket health care expenses for those family members; and remove potential barriers to health care access by Guard and Reserve families.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE--Implementation of Changes to the Pharmacy Benefits Program; Double Coverage With Medicare Part D</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TRICARE eligible beneficiaries, who are entitled to Medicare Part A on the basis of age, disability, or end-stage renal disease, maintain their TRICARE eligibility when they are 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 proposed rule prescribes double coverage payment procedures and makes revisions to TRICARE rules to accommodate beneficiaries who are eligible under both Medicare and TRICARE and who participate in Medicares outpatient prescription drug program under Medicare Part D.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Expansion of Geographic Scope of the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule expands the geographic scope of the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) to overseas locations not currently covered by the program.  At this time, TRDP is only applicable in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Expanding the geographic scope of the program will ensure that all TRICARE-eligible retirees are eligible for the same dental benefits, regardless of their location.  There are no additional Government costs associated with this proposed expansion of TRDP overseas as TRDP costs are borne entirely by enrollees through premium payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements section 1097c of title 10, United States Code.  This law prohibits employers from offering incentives to TRICARE-eligible employees to not enroll, or to terminate enrollment, in an employer-offered Group Health Plan (GHP) that is or would be primary to TRICARE.  Cafeteria plans that comport with section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code will be permissible so long as the plan treats all employees the same and does not illegally take TRICARE eligibility into account.  The rule is being published as an interim final rule with comment period in order to comply with the statutory effective date of 10 U.S.C. 1097c.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The interim final rule implements a prospective payment system for hospital outpatient services similar to that furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, as set forth in section 1833(t) of the Social Security Act.  The rule also recognizes applicable statutory requirements and changes arising from Medicares continuing experience with its system, including certain related provisions of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.  While TRICARE intends to remain as true as possible to Medicares basic OPPS methodology (i.e., adoption and updating of the Medicare data elements used in calculating the prospective payment amounts), there will be some significant deviations required to accommodate the uniqueness of the TRICARE program.  These deviations have been designed to accommodate existing TRICARE benefit structure and claims processing procedures implemented under the TRICARE Next Generation Contracts (T-NEX) while at the same time eliminating any undue financial burden to TRICARE Prime, Extra and Standard beneficiary populations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expand Eligibility of Selected Reserve Members Under the TRICARE Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposal would expand the recently enacted Reserve health care benefit for Reservists (called TRICARE Reserve Select) to allow all members of the Selected Reserve to purchase their health care through the Military Health System at the same low cost, regardless of the members duty status.  Only members who are eligible for the Federal Health Benefits program would be excluded from this benefit.  Participating Reserve Component members would be required to pay a monthly premium of 28 percent of the cost of care for the TRICARE Reserve Select plan and would be subject to the same deductibles, copayments, and other non-premium payments applicable to dependents of active duty members who selected the same TRICARE option.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule is proposed to augment the receipt and acceptance process and facilitate Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) maintaining accountability of all DLA order fulfillments.  Transporter Proof of Delivery Documents are delivery tickets or receipts provided by the deliverer of DLA provided supplies.  These commercial tickets, e.g. FEDEX or UPS delivery receipts, are presented to the customer for receipt signature upon receipt of the delivered goods.  These delivery tickets are then forwarded to the vendor of the delivered goods.  The vendor then forwards these signed delivery tickets via the wide-area-workflow (WAWF) system, to DLA Financial Liaison Officers (FLO), where the material acceptance is made.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements With Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Nonprofit Organizations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 Nonprofit 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[The Department of Defense (DoD) is revising the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs) to implement Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on nonprocurement suspension and debarment and to make needed technical corrections.  To implement the OMB guidance, DoD is adopting a new part in title 2 of the CFR, the Governmentwide title recently established for OMB guidance and agencies implementing regulations on grants and agreements.  The Department also is removing the common rule on nonprocurement suspension and debarment that is in the DoDGARs in 32 CFR, chapter I, subchapter C, since the common rule is superseded by the new DoD part implementing the OMB guidance.  This regulatory action is the first step toward relocating all of the DoDGARs to 2 CFR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conduct on the Pentagon Reservation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends DoD policy concerning conduct on the Pentagon Reservation and Raven Rock Mountain Complex.  In 2003, Congress amended 10 U.S.C. 2674(g) so that the "Pentagon Reservation" also included the land and physical facilities at the Raven Rock Mountain Complex.  Given this amendment, the Department has recognized the need to amend rules and regulations under 32 CFR part 234 so that they are applicable to Raven Rock Mountain Complex.  Therefore, minor and administrative changes to the rules and regulations were necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations are needed to implement amendments to section 445 of the General Education Provisions Act, as amended--commonly referred to as the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)--resulting from (1) section 1017 of the Goals 2000 Educate America Act (Pub. L. 103-227; 20 U.S.C. 1232h) and (2) legislation passed as part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) (Pub. L. 107-110).  Section 1017 of Goals 2000 amended PPRA to require schools, in certain instances, to make specific educational materials available to parents for inspection.  The provision also amended PPRA to prohibit schools from requiring students to submit to certain surveys, analyses, or evaluations without parental consent.  Amendments made to PPRA by NCLB specify certain subjects on which local educational agencies, in consultation with parents, must develop and adopt policies.  These amendments also require local educational agencies to directly notify parents of these policies and permit parents to opt out of certain activities.  As our next action, we will issue a new NPRM incorporating the amendments resulting from NCLB, as well as the earlier amendments resulting from the Goals 2000 Educate America Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary proposes to amend the regulations in 34 CFR part 75 and part 77 to align the discretionary grant selection criteria and continuation award standards with the performance management standards established for Department of Education programs.  These amendments would improve the Department's ability to determine (1) whether discretionary grant programs are achieving established performance measures under the Government Performance and Results Act and other performance management requirements and (2) whether projects funded by the Department are establishing and meeting challenging and realistic performance milestones and targets.  The Secretary also proposes an amendment to improve financial management of discretionary grants.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering revising the Federal Guidance for Radiation Protection of the Public.  This Presidential-level guidance would refine the radiation protection and dose limitation framework for the public, and may include numerical Radiation Protection Goals (i.e., dose limits).  Because it is DOEs preference to be consistent with Federal radiation protection policy, the Department is adjusting the schedule for part 834 in anticipation of revised Federal Guidance and will issue the rule following EPA action on the guidance.  This will allow DOE to be consistent with the most current Presidential-level guidance upon its release.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Western Area Power Administration (Western) is amending regulations that require customers to prepare integrated resource plans (IRP).  These changes will facilitate public review of customer IRPs by making them more readily available, such as by posting customer IRPs on Westerns external Web site.  Western is also proposing language to encourage participation in regional IRPs by customers who may not be members of a member-based association (MBA).  Finally, Western proposes to modify the requirement that each member of an MBA and the governing body of an MBA approve the IRP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Coordination of Federal Authorization of Electric Transmission</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subsection 216(h) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) requires the Department of Energy (Department) to act as lead agency for purposes of coordinating all applicable Federal authorizations and related environmental reviews as may be required under Federal law in order to site transmission facilities.  Subsection 216(h)(7)(A) further authorizes the Department to issue any regulations necessary to implement the provisions of section 1221(a) of Energy Policy Act of 2005 and FPA 216, including provisions providing for pre-application mechanisms to facilitate streamlining applicable Federal authorizations.  Pursuant to this authority, the Department is considering whether to promulgate regulations to facilitate the coordination of such permits, special use authorizations, certifications, opinions, or other approvals necessary to site transmission facilities.  The Department notes that it has delegated to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission certain of the Department's authorities under FPA section 216(h) and that the Commission has promulgated regulations concerning how it will carry out that authority. 71 FR 69440.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, establishes initial energy efficiency standard levels for most types of major residential appliances, as well as certain commercial appliances.  The statute generally requires DOE to undertake two subsequent rulemakings to determine whether the existing standard for a covered product should be amended.  Through this combined rulemaking, the Department is evaluating potential amendments to update the current energy efficiency standards for residential electric and gas ranges and ovens (including a new provision specific to microwave ovens) and dishwashers.  The Department is also considering establishing initial energy efficiency standards for dehumidifiers and commercial clothes washers, as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which further amended EPCA.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[EPCA establishes initial energy efficiency standards for most types of major residential appliances and certain commercial equipment.  EPCA generally requires DOE to subsequently undertake rulemaking, at specified times, to determine whether the standard for a covered product should be made more stringent.  Pursuant to EPCA, the Department has established energy efficiency standards for residential electric and gas ranges and ovens, as well as dishwashers.  In addition, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 amended EPCA to authorize the Department to set standards for energy (and water, where appropriate) used in the operation of dehumidifiers and commercial clothes washers.]]></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 the criteria specified by statute.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The specific costs and benefits for this rulemaking have not been established because the Department is still in the early stages of rulemaking and has not yet determined candidate standard levels for these products.  As a general matter, in setting any efficiency standard different than those set by statute, the Secretary must first determine that such standard is both technologically feasible and economically justified.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards for Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) provides that if the energy efficiency levels in ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 for certain commercial and industrial equipment are amended after specified dates, the Department of Energy (DOE) must establish an amended uniform national standard for such equipment at the new minimum level in Standard 90.1, unless the Secretary determines that a more stringent standard is technologically feasible and economically justified and would result in significant additional energy conservation.  This rulemaking was initiated to consider whether DOE should adopt amended ASHRAE/IESNA efficiency levels for certain commercial air conditioners and heat pumps.  On March 7, 2007, DOE published a final rule addressing standards for five categories of products, but decided to consider if evidence supported higher standards for packaged terminal air conditioners and heat pumps (PTAC/PTHP).  As required by EPCA, DOE has undertaken this further rulemaking to determine standards for packaged terminal air conditioners and heat pumps.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <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 the criteria specified by statute.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since DOE codified test procedures for consumer products and certain industrial products, some products have been introduced that the test procedures do not clearly address. Currently, manufacturers can petition DOE for a waiver when the manufacturer believes the test procedure does not evaluate the product in a manner that reflects the product's true energy consumption. However, currently there are no procedures for manufacturers to request an interpretation of the test procedure, or to be required to petition for a waiver, if the test procedure underestimates the product's true energy consumption.  This rulemaking would provide such procedures.  DOE is also considering amendments that would prevent circumvention of test procedures that may result from product design features.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 1992 amended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to provide that the Secretary of Energy prescribe testing requirements and energy conservation standards for those small electric motors for which the Secretary determines that standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. As a result of DOE's analysis, on July 10, 2006, the Secretary preliminarily made such a determination for small electric motors. This rulemaking will develop test procedures for small electric motors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These amendments to test procedures, mandated under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act for fluorescent and incandescent lamps, correct the citations and references to industry standards that are out of date or not longer exist.  This rulemaking is being issued concurrently with a parallel rulemaking (RIN 1904-AA92) to amend standards for certain general service fluorescent lamps and incandescent reflector lamps and to consider expanding the scope of standards to cover additional general service fluorescent and incandescent lamps.  This rulemaking will ensure that appropriate test procedures are in place to support those standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Conservation Standards for Small Electric Motors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 1992 amended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to provide that the Secretary of Energy prescribe testing requirements and energy conservation standards for those small electric motors for which the Secretary determines that standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. As a result of DOE's analysis, on July 10, 2006, the Secretary preliminarily made such a determination for small electric motors.  This rulemaking will determine whether it is appropriate to establish energy conservation standards for small electric motors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards for Electric Distribution Transformers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior to enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005), the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) did not establish energy efficiency standards for electric distribution transformers.  EPCA directed DOE to determine whether standards for electric distribution transformers were warranted.  However, as a result of amendments adopted in EPACT 2005, Public Law No. 109-58, section 135(c)(4), EPCA now contains standards for low voltage dry-type electric distribution transformers, but not other types of distribution transformers.  This rulemaking will determine whether it is appropriate to establish standards for these other types of electric distribution transformers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this rulemaking, the Department of Energy (DOE) is amending its test procedure for residential central air conditioners and heat pumps.  The rulemaking implements test procedure changes in such areas as small-duct, high-velocity systems, multiple-split systems, two-capacity units, and the referencing of current ASHRAE standards.  The amendments also clarify issues associated with sampling and rating both tested and untested systems.  DOE believes that the amendments will not cause products to fail to meet the energy standards in effect either before or after January 23, 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Energy (DOE) is streamlining and simplifying its procedures for soliciting, awarding, and administering its financial assistance agreements.  These changes are technical corrections and revisions to sections affected by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as well as further implementation of the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999.  DOE is also deleting 10 CFR part 1024, Procedures for Financial Assistance Appeals.  These procedures provided for appeals to the DOE Financial Assistance Board, which was abolished.  DOE now provides for appeals to the Senior Procurements Executive.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of the Eligibility Requirement of Parental Income for the Health Professions Student Loans, Loans for Disadvantaged Students</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr) proposes to amend 42 CFR 57.206(b)(1) by removing the eligibility requirement of parental income for the Health Professions Student Loans, Loans for Disadvantaged Students, and add Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students, add a new methodology and increase poverty guidelines or low income levels for these programs.
  
This regulation is used in eligibility determination for the Health Professions Student Loans and Loans for Disadvantaged Students, albeit not legislatively mandated.  This policy has been applied to Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students as well.   In these cases, the strict requirement of this information has rendered ineligible those student applications that fail to include the requisite parental income.  These include applications by students estranged from their parents (e.g., due to outright, longstanding abandonment or where parents are incarcerated).]]></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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: Calculation of Average Cost of a Health Insurance Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is proposing to revise the current method for calculating the average cost of a health insurance policy, which is an amount deducted from the award of compensation in certain cases. According to the final rule published on Jun. 24, 1992, which established the current calculation, "If, over time, the average cost of health insurance, as calculated by the method described above, significantly differs from subsequent HIAA survey results or other authoritative sources then available, the Secretary of HHS will consider appropriate revisions of this rule." 57 FR 28098 (June 24, 1992). When the latest average monthly cost of an individual health insurance policy was calculated based on the current methodology, it was significantly different from the Kaiser Family Foundation/Health Research and Educational Trust average monthly cost of an individual health insurance policy for the same time period. Therefore, the Secretary is proposing a new methodology to calculate the average cost of a health insurance policy.

Subtitle 2 of title XXI of the Public Health Service Act, as enacted by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, as amended, governs the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The VICP, administered by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) provides that a proceeding for compensation for a vaccine-related injury or death shall be initiated by service upon the Secretary, and the filing of a petition with the United States Court of Federal Claims. In some cases, the injured individual may receive compensation for future lost earnings, less appropriate taxes and the "average cost of a health insurance policy, as determined by the Secretary." The elements of compensation that may be awarded to a successful petitioner are set out in section 2115 of the Public Service Act, 42 U.S.C. section 300aa-15. Subsection (a)(3)(B) specifically provides for compensation for lost earnings for a person who has sustained a vaccine-related injury at age 18 and beyond. The injured person would be eligible to receive compensation for loss of earnings, after the age of 18, which are calculated on the basis of the average gross weekly earnings of workers in the private, non-farm sector, less appropriate taxes and the "average cost of a health insurance policy, as determined by the Secretary." The wage data are taken from the Employment and Earnings survey done by the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.  

Subsection (a)(3)(A) specifically provides for payment of actual and anticipated lost earnings for individuals injured after reaching age 18 and does not include deductions for taxes and the cost of health insurance.  This new methodology is expected to result in a more accurate reflection of the actual average cost of a health insurance policy as compared to the figure reached under the methodology that is currently used, which results in a number that is too high.  Because the amount of compensation for lost wages is reduced by this figure for some petitioners receiving compensation under the VICP, such petitioners are likely to receive a greater amount of compensation if the amendment is adopted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Status of Certain Additional Over-the-Counter Drug Category II and III Active Ingredients</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 310.545 (21 CFR part 310.545) codifies a final rule that was issued stating certain first aid antiseptic, vaginal contraceptive, and antimicrobial diaper rash ingredients in over-the-counter (OTC) drug products are not generally recognized as safe and effective and are misbranded.  This rule took into consideration the reports and recommendations of various OTC drug advisory review panels and public comment on proposed Agency regulations.  Based on the absence of substantive comments in opposition to the Agencys proposed nonmonograph status for various ingredients, as well as the failure of interested parties to submit new data or information to FDA, the Agency determined that the presence of the subject ingredients in an OTC drug product would result in that product not being generally recognized as safe and effective and would result in misbranding.
 
FDA is initiating a review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act for the regulation in section 310.545.  The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulation in section 310.545 should be continued without change, or whether it should be further 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 regulation in section 310.545; (2) the nature of the complaints or comments received concerning the regulation in section 310.545;  (3) the complexity of the regulations in section 310.545; (4) the extent to which the regulation in section 310.545 overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or governmental rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed for the products still subject to the regulation in section 310.545.

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 principles set forth in the Executive order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 165.110 (21 CFR part 165.110) describes requirements for identity and quality standards for bottled water. FDA is undertaking a review of section 165.110 under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulations in section 165.110 should be continued without change, or whether they should be amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of applicable statutes, to minimize any significant economic impact 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 section 165.110; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the regulations in section 165.110; (3) the complexity of the regulations; (4) the extent to which the regulations in section 165.110 overlap, duplicate, or conflict with other Federal rules, and to the extent feasible, with 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 section 165.110.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposal would revise our regulations to require that data submitted for NDAs, BLAs, and ANDAs, and their supplements and amendments, be provided in an electronic format that FDA can process, review, and archive.  The proposal would also require that FDA periodically issue guidance on the use of standardized data structure, terminology, and code sets (e.g., the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) developed by the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium) to allow for more efficient and comprehensive data review.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Before a drug is approved for marketing, FDA must determine that the drug is safe and effective for its intended use.  This determination is based in part on clinical study data and bioequivalence data that are submitted as part of the marketing application.  Study data submitted to FDA in electronic format have generally been more efficient to process and review.

FDAs proposed rule would require the submission of study data in a standardized electronic format, and it provides that the specific format will be announced in FDA guidance.  Electronic submission of study data would improve patient safety and enhance health care delivery by enabling FDA to process, review, and archive data more efficiently.  Standardization would also enhance the ability to share study data and communicate results.  Investigators and industry would benefit from the use of standards throughout the lifecycle of a study--in data collection, reporting, and analysis.  The proposal would work in concert with ongoing agency and national initiatives to support increased use of electronic technology as a means to improve patient safety and enhance health care delivery.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Our legal authority to amend our regulations governing the submission and format of clinical study data and bioequivalence data for human drugs and biologics derives from sections 505 and 701 of the act (U.S.C. 355 and 371) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA considered issuing a guidance document outlining the electronic submission and the standardization of study data, but not requiring electronic submission of the data in the standardized format.  This alternative was rejected because the agency would not fully benefit from standardization until it became the industry standard, which could take up to 20 years.

We also considered a number of different implementation scenarios, from shorter to longer time-periods.  The 2-year time-period was selected because the agency believes it would provide ample time for applicants to comply without too long a delay in the effective date.  A longer time-period would delay the benefit from the increased efficiencies, such as standardization of review tools across applications, and the incremental cost savings to industry would be small.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Standardization of clinical data structure, terminology, and code sets will increase the efficiency of the agency review process.  FDA estimates that the costs to industry resulting from the proposal would include some one-time costs and possibly some annual recurring costs.  One-time costs would include, among other things, the cost of converting data to standard structures, terminology, and cost sets (i.e., purchase of software to convert data); the cost of submitting electronic data (i.e., purchase of file transfer programs); and the cost of installing and validating the software and training personnel.  Additional annual recurring costs may result from software purchases and licensing agreements for use of proprietary terminologies.

The proposal could result in many long-term benefits for industry, including improved patient safety through faster, more efficient, comprehensive, and accurate data review, as well as enhanced communication among sponsors and clinicians.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Under FDA's current regulations, labeling concerning the use of prescription drugs in pregnancy uses letter categories (A, B, C, D, X) to characterize the risk to the fetus of using the drug during pregnancy.  Dissatisfaction with the category system has been expressed by health care providers, medical organizations, experts in the study of birth defects, womens health researchers, and women of childbearing age.  These stakeholders have expressed the view that the current categories are confusing and overly simplistic and thus are not adequate to communicate risks effectively.  One of the deficiencies of the category system is that drugs may be assigned to the same category when the severity, incidence, and types of risk are quite different.  

Stakeholders consulted through a public hearing, several focus groups, and several advisory committees have recommended that FDA replace the category system with a concise narrative summarizing a product's risks to pregnant women and to women of childbearing age.  It has also been strongly recommended that pregnancy labeling address the situation where a woman has taken drugs before she realizes she is pregnant.  The labeling that would be required under the proposed rule would be responsive to the concerns discussed above, and others that have been expressed by critics of the current category system.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA 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 to 353, 355, and 371) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262) to help ensure that prescription drugs (including biological products that are regulated as drugs) are safe and effective for their intended uses.  A major part of FDAs efforts concerning the safe and effective use of drug products involves review, approval, and monitoring of drug labeling.  Under section 502(f)(1) of the Act, a drug is misbranded unless its labeling bears adequate directions for use or it is exempted from this requirement by regulation.  Under section 201.100 (21 CFR part 201.100), a prescription drug is exempted from the requirement in section 502(f)(1) of the Act only if, among other things, it contains the information required and 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 or may withdraw 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 consequences that may result from use of the drug product under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling or under customary 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 publish a proposed rule designed to help ensure that practitioners prescribing drugs (including biological products) to pregnant women and women of childbearing age would receive information essential to the safe and effective use of these drugs.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The alternatives to the proposal include not amending our existing regulation governing the format and content of labeling for human prescription drugs and biological products.  This alternative is inconsistent with widespread stakeholder dissatisfaction with the pregnancy labeling provided pursuant to the current regulation.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule would impose one-time costs for firms to modify drug product labeling and annual costs to print longer labeling. The extent of these modifications would depend on whether a product's labeling is affected by the physician labeling final rule (PLR) and on the scope of the implementation. 
   
The revised format and the information provided in the labeling would make it easier for health care providers to understand the risks and benefits of drug use during pregnancy and lactation.  A better understanding of risks and benefits would help women and their health care providers make informed decisions about whether or not to use drugs during pregnancy and lactation.  Labeling under the rule would also provide information geared to women who took drugs before they knew they were pregnant.  Such information may often be reassuring to women and their health care providers.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the biologics regulations, particularly those related to blood donor eligibility, by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood, blood components, source plasma, and source leukocytes 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 responsive to reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, and to public comments. These actions are intended to help ensure the continued safety of the Nation's blood supply.]]></ABSTRACT>

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. The first action addresses products labeled to relieve upset stomach associated with overindulgence in food and drink and to relieve symptoms associated with a hangover. The second action addresses products marketed for children under 2 years old and weight- and age-based dosing for children's products. The third action addresses combination products containing the analgesic acetaminophen or aspirin and sodium bicarbonate used as an antacid ingredient. The fourth action addresses other miscellaneous issues relating to internal analgesics.  The fifth document finalizes the document regarding the required warnings and other labeling.  The last document finalizes the Internal Analgesic Products monograph.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Label Requirement for Food That Has Been Refused Admission Into the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would require owners or consignees to label imported food that is refused entry into the United States.  The label would read, "UNITED STATES: REFUSED ENTRY." The proposal would describe the label's characteristics (such as its size) and processes for verifying that the label has been affixed properly.  We are taking this action to prevent the introduction of unsafe food into the United States, to facilitate the examination of imported food, and to implement section 308 of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act) (Pub. L. 107-188).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In 1998, the General Accounting Office issued a report titled, "Food Safety: Federal Efforts to Ensure the Safety of Imported Foods Are Inconsistent and Unreliable." The report stated that some food importers evade import controls and are able to introduce contaminated, adulterated, or unsafe food into the United States even after FDA refused to admit the food and the Customs Service ordered the food to be reexported or destroyed.
  
Additionally, in 1998, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations conducted hearings on the safety of food imports. The subcommittee heard testimony about reimporting refused foods through another port (a practice known as "port shopping"). On July 3, 1999, then-President Clinton issued a memorandum to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of the Treasury directing them, in part, to take all actions available to "prohibit the reimportation of food that has been previously refused admission and has not been brought into compliance with United States laws and regulations" by requiring the marking of shipping containers and/or papers of imported food that is refused admission for safety reasons.
  
Consequently, on January 22, 2001, FDA and the Department of the Treasury jointly issued a proposed rule (66 FR 6502) that would have required that imported food that has been refused admission for safety reasons be marked as "UNITED STATES: REFUSED ENTRY." The mark would make it easier to detect previously refused food and reduce, if not eliminate, "port shopping." However, on June 12, 2002, before FDA and Treasury could prescribe a final rule, the Bioterrorism Act became law. Section 308(a) of the Bioterrorism Act created a new section 801(n) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) to clarify FDAs authority to require the owner or consignee of a food that had been refused admission into the United States to "affix to the container of the food a label that clearly and conspicuously bears the statement: 'UNITED STATES: REFUSED ENTRY'."  Although section 308(c) of the Bioterrorism Act stated that "nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the authority of the Secretary of Health and Human Services or the Secretary of the Treasury to require the marking of refused articles of food under any other provision of law," the new statutory provision differed from the January 22, 2001, proposed rule and prompted FDA to withdraw the proposal on August 21, 2002 (67 FR 54138). 
 
The new proposal would describe the label requirements for imported food that has been refused admission into the United States.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 801(a) of the act authorizes FDA to refuse to admit imported food if the food has been manufactured, processed, or packed under insanitary conditions, is forbidden or restricted in sale in the country in which it was produced, or is adulterated or misbranded.  Additionally, as explained earlier, section 801(n) of the act gives FDA express authority to require the owner or consignee of a food that had been refused admission into the United States to "affix to the container of the food a label that clearly and conspicuously bears the statement: 'UNITED STATES: REFUSED ENTRY'." 
 
Sections 402 and 403 of the act describe when a food is adulterated or misbranded, respectively. Section 701(a) of the act authorizes FDA to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the Act, while section 701(b) of the act authorizes FDA and the Department of the Treasury to jointly prescribe regulations for the efficient enforcement of section 801 of the act.

The proposed rule is within FDAs authority at sections 402, 403, 701, and 801 of the act. In general, unsafe food is often adulterated under section 402 of the act and may also be misbranded under section 403 of the act.  Requiring a label on refused foods that have been so refused will make it easier for FDA to refuse to admit previously refused, adulterated, or misbranded food imports into the United States.

Additionally, section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS act) authorizes FDA to render assistance to appropriate health authorities in the conduct of or to promote coordination of research, investigations, experiments, demonstrations, and studies relating to the causes, diagnosis, treatment, control, and prevention of disease. Section 361 of the PHS act authorizes FDA to issue regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases into the United States.  Affixing a label would alert foreign officials to previously refused food and help prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases into the United States by making it more difficult for unsafe food to reenter the United States.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA considered exempting small businesses from the rule, but, because most importers and consignees would qualify as small businesses, this would negate the rules purpose.  

The agency also considered ordering the destruction of all refused food imports, but this would not be feasible because it would divert Federal resources to supervising or otherwise ensuring that the refused food imports are stored until they can be destroyed and that they are destroyed.  

FDA also rejected affixing the label on some, but not all, imported food refused entry for safety reasons.  While this alternative would be less costly, it would also be less efficient because some refused food imports would be able to reenter the United States and because a previously refused, but unlabeled, food would be difficult to detect compared to a previously refused and labeled food.  This alternative would also result in arguments as to the criteria to be applied and whether a particular food should be labeled.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Importers and consignees would bear the costs associated with affixing the label to refused food imports. The rules costs would, therefore, consist of labor costs (to affix the label) and equipment costs (the label equipment used). FDA will estimate these costs in the proposed rule.

The rule's principal benefit would be a reduction in the number of illnesses and injuries caused by unsafe imported food. The Agency is unable to quantify the amount of illegal importation of previously refused foods, so it cannot accurately predict the value of reduced illnesses and injury.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There is a possible risk previously refused, unpackaged food (such as loose grain in a railroad car) would be able to enter the United States because the food itself cannot be labeled, although the proposed rule would require the importer or consignee to affix a label on papers accompanying the product.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Combination Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would clarify and codify the current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirements for combination products (combinations of a drug, device, and/or biological product).  The proposed rule would provide a flexible, quality management regulatory framework that recognizes that, in most instances, for combination products, a properly implemented quality system program under one set of medical product cGMP regulations will meet the requirements of another set (e.g., application of cGMPs for finished pharmaceuticals in 21 CFR parts 210 and 211 will generally meet the requirements of the device quality system regulations in 21 CFR part 820).  It would allow manufacturers the flexibility to select either the cGMP or quality system regulation to apply for the manufacture of their combination product, provided that their system incorporates select, key provisions from the regulations pertaining to the other part of their combination product.  It would avoid the necessity to fully implement both sets of cGMP regulations when manufacturing combination products.  The proposed rule is intended to ensure consistency and appropriateness in the regulation of combination products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Postmarket Safety Reporting for Combination Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would clarify the postmarket safety reporting requirements for combination products (combinations of a drug, device, and/or biological product).  The proposed rule would provide a framework for the reporting of adverse events for combination products.  The proposed rule would clarify the circumstances in which following one set of postmarket safety reporting regulations generally would meet the requirements of another set, and the circumstances in which these requirements would be supplemented with specific reporting provisions applicable to the other constituent part of the combination product.  The regulation would ensure the consistency and appropriateness of postmarket safety reporting for combination products while avoiding the need for duplicative reporting requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is being issued to provide options to the existing requirement for processing live vaccines.  FDA is amending the regulations due to advances in facility, system, and equipment design, and in sterilization technologies that will allow live vaccine processing to be performed in multiproduct manufacturing areas.  We are amending this regulation to permit manufacturers greater flexibility in the use of their buildings and equipment for processing live vaccines when appropriate controls exist and have been demonstrated to be effective in preventing cross contamination of other products and areas.  We are taking this action as part of our continuing effort to reduce the burden of unnecessary regulations on industry and to revise outdated regulations without diminishing public health protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its postmarket medical device reporting regulations to require that reports submitted to the Agency by persons subject to mandatory reporting requirements be transmitted electronically in a form that FDA can process, review, and archive.  FDA is taking this action to improve the Agencys systems for collecting and analyzing postmarketing safety reports.  The proposed change would help the Agency to more quickly review safety reports and identify emerging public health issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Agency has legal authority under section 519 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require adverse event reports. The proposed rule would require manufacturers, importers, and user facilities to change their procedures to send reports of medical device adverse events to FDA electronically instead of using a hard copy form.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The alternatives to this rulemaking include not updating the medical device reporting requirements and not requiring electronic submission of this information. For over 20 years, medical device manufacturers, importers, and user facilities have sent adverse event reports to FDA on paper forms.  Processing paper forms is a time consuming and expensive process. FDA believes this rulemaking is the preferable alternative.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The principal benefit would be to public health because the increased speed in the processing and analysis of the 100,000 medical device reports currently submitted in paper. In addition, requiring electronic submission would reduce FDA annual operating costs by $1.25 million.

The total one-time cost for modifying SOPs and establishing electronic submission capabilities is estimated to range from $58.6 million to $79.7 million.  Annually recurring costs totaled $8.9 million and included maintenance of electronic submission capabilities, including renewing the electronic certificate, and for some firms the incremental cost to maintain high-speed internet access.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Laser Products; Amendment to Performance Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is proposing to amend the performance standard for laser products to achieve closer harmonization between the current standard and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard for laser products and medical laser products.  The proposed amendment is intended to update FDAs performance standard to reflect advancements in technology.  The proposal would adopt portions of an IEC standard (to achieve harmonization and reflect current science), include an alternative mechanism for providing certification and identification, address novelty laser products, and clarify the military exemption for laser products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Registration and Listing for Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is proposing to amend the medical device establishment registration and listing requirements under 21 CFR part 807 to reflect the new requirements in section 321 of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (BT Act) and section 510(p) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which was added by section 207 of the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA).  This proposed rule would require domestic and foreign device establishments to submit registration and listing data electronically via the Internet using FDAs Unified Registration and Listing System. This proposed rule would convert the registration and listing process to a paperless process. For those companies that do not have access to the web, FDA would offer an avenue by which they can register, list, and update information with a paper submission.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The alternatives to this rulemaking include not updating the registration and listing regulations and not requiring the electronic submission of registration and listing information.

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Agency believes that there may be some one-time costs associated with the rulemaking, which involve resource costs of familiarizing users with the electronic system.  Recurring costs related to submission of the information by domestic firms would probably remain the same or decrease because a paper submission and postage is not required.  There might be some increase in the financial burden on foreign firms since they will have to supply additional registration information as required by section 321 of the BT Act.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations on Fixed-Dose Combination and Co-Packaged Drug and/or Biological Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend FDA regulations on fixed-combination prescription and OTC drugs.  The current regulations require, among other things, that the sponsor of a fixed-combination drug demonstrate that each of the components makes a contribution to the drugs claimed effects.  The proposed rule would create a single set of regulations for prescription and OTC combination drugs and codify existing policy on what kinds of studies are needed to show that the combination drug requirements are met.  The proposed rule also would apply these regulations to combinations of biological drug products and to drug-biological product combinations.  In addition, the proposed rule would clarify application of FDAs requirements regarding fixed-dose combinations to certain natural source drugs and certain synthetic drugs.   The regulation would also establish circumstances under which the agency might waive the combination requirements for a particular drug or biological product.  The proposed rule will also address the issue of co-packaging.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Postmarketing Safety Reports for Human Drug and Biological Products: Electronic Submission Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend FDA's postmarketing safety reporting regulations for human drug and biological products (21 CFR part 310.305, 314.80, 314.98, 600.80,  600.81, and 1271.350) to require that safety reports submitted to the Agency by persons subject to mandatory reporting requirements be transmitted electronically in a form that FDA can process, review, and archive.  FDA is taking this action to improve the Agencys systems for collecting and analyzing postmarketing safety reports.  The proposed rule creates a requirement for manufacturers to submit postmarketing safety reports electronically in a compatible format using either direct submission or a web-based form.  The rule will allow the Agency to review safety reports more quickly, to identify emerging safety problems, and disseminate safety information more rapidly in support of FDAs public health mission.  The proposed amendments would be a key element in harmonizing FDAs postmarketing safety reporting regulations with international and ICH standards for the electronic submission of safety information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Revisions  To Implement Portions of Title XI of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 and Other Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title XI of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-173) (MMA) amended provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) that govern the approval of new drug applications (NDAs) described by section 505(b)(2) of the act (505(b)(2) applications) and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) described by section 505(j) of the act.  This proposed rule would implement portions of title XI of the MMA that pertain to: (1) Provision of notice to each patent owner and the NDA holder of certain patent certifications made by applicants submitting 505(b)(2) applications or ANDAs; (2) the availability of 30-month stays of approval on 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs that are otherwise ready to be approved; (3) submission of amendments and supplements to 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs; and (4) the types of bioavailability and bioequivalence data that can be used to support these applications.  This proposed rule also would amend certain regulations regarding 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs to facilitate compliance with and efficient enforcement of the act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Animal Food Labeling; Declaration of Certifiable Color Additives</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration is proposing to amend its regulations regarding the declaration of certified color additives on the labels of animal food including animal feeds and pet foods.  FDA is proposing this amendment in response to the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (21 U.S.C. 343), which amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by requiring, among other things, the listing on food labels of the common or usual names of all color additives required to be certified by FDA.  An additional purpose of this amendment is to make these regulations consistent with the regulations regarding the declaration of certified color additives on the labels of human food.  The proposed rule also suggests appropriate terminology for the declaration of certified-exempt color additives on the labels of animal food.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defining the Term &quot;Small Numbers of Animals&quot; for Minor Use Designation </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The designation provision of the Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004 (MUMS Act) (21 U.S.C. 360ccc2, 371) provides incentives to animal drug sponsors to encourage drug development and approval for minor species and for minor uses in major animal species.  Congress provided a statutory definition of minor use that relied on the phrase small numbers of animals to characterize such use.  At this time, FDA is proposing to amend 21 CFR part 516 (the implementing regulations of the MUMS act) to further define minor use by defining a specific small number of animals for each of the seven major animal species, to be used in determining whether any particular intended use in a major species is a minor use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Current Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations for Finished Pharmaceuticals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending certain sections of 21 CFR parts 210 and 211 as the first phase of an incremental approach to modifying the current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals in 21 CFR parts 210 and 211.  We are amending the regulations to modernize or clarify some of the CGMP requirements, as well as harmonize some of the CGMP requirements with those of other foreign regulators and other FDA regulations.  These amendments are also consistent with current industry practice. We are taking this action as part of our continuing effort to revise outdated regulations without diminishing public health protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Foreign and Domestic Establishment Registration and Listing Requirements for Human Drugs, Including Drugs That Are Regulated Under a Biologics License Application, and Animal Drugs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule will reorganize, consolidate, clarify, and modify current regulations at 21 CFR part 207 concerning who must register establishments and list human drugs, certain biological drugs, and animal drugs.  These regulations contain information on when, how, and where to register drug establishments and list drugs, and what information must be submitted for initial registration and listing and for changes to registration and listing.  The rule will require that this information be submitted via the Internet into the FDA registration and listing database, instead of the current requirement to submit the information to FDA on paper forms.  The rule will also require that the NDC number appear on certain drug labels.  In addition, FDA will assign the NDC number to newly listed drugs and take other steps to minimize the use of inaccurate NDC numbers on drug labels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Current Good Manufacturing Practice in Manufacturing, Packing, or Holding Dietary Ingredients and Dietary Supplements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration published a final rule in the Federal Register of June 25, 2007 (72 FR 34572), on current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for dietary supplements. The final rule (the CGMP rule) was published to establish the minimum CGMPs necessary to ensure that, if firms engage in activities related to manufacturing, packaging, labeling or holding dietary supplements, they do so in a manner that will ensure the quality of the dietary supplements  i.e., to ensure that the dietary supplement consistently meets the established specifications for identity, purity, strength, and composition, and limits on contaminants, and has been manufactured, packaged, labeled, and held under conditions to prevent adulteration under section 402(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), and (a)(4) of the act.  
FDA also published an interim final rule (IFR) in the June 25, 2007 Federal Register (72 FR 34959) that sets forth a procedure for requesting an exemption from the requirement in the final rule described above that the manufacturer conduct at least one appropriate test or examination to verify the identity of any component that is a dietary ingredient. This IFR allows for submission to, and review by, FDA of an alternative to the required 100 percent identity testing of components that are dietary ingredients, provided certain conditions are met. This IFR also establishes a requirement for retention of records relating to the FDA's response to an exemption request.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA published the CGMP rule for dietary supplements because FDA is concerned that some firms may not be taking appropriate steps during the manufacture of dietary supplements to ensure the quality of dietary supplement. FDA is aware of products that contain potentially harmful contaminants because of apparently inadequate manufacturing controls and quality control procedures. There also have been cases of misidentified ingredients harming consumers using dietary supplements. The Agency believes that a system of CGMPs is the most effective and efficient way to ensure the quality of dietary supplements. 
With respect to the specific requirement for 100 percent identity testing of dietary ingredients, FDA recognizes that it may be possible for a manufacturer to demonstrate, through various methods and processes in use over time for its particular operation, that a system of less than 100 percent identity testing would result in no material diminution of assurance of the identity of the dietary ingredient as compared to the assurance provided by 100 percent identity testing.  To provide an opportunity for a manufacturer to make such a showing and reduce the frequency of identity testing of components that are dietary ingredients from 100 percent to some lower frequency, FDA is adding to the CGMP rule an exemption from the requirement of 100 percent identity testing when a manufacturer petitions the agency for such an exemption to 100 percent identity testing and the agency grants such exemption. Such a procedure would be consistent with FDA's stated goal, as described in the CGMP final rule, of providing flexibility in the CGMP requirements.  FDA is providing an opportunity for interested persons to comment on whether this exemption procedure should be modified, and if so, whether there is any additional information that may be helpful to articulate with respect to what a petition needs to show that may inform future guidance.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the CGMP rule, failure to manufacture, pack, label or hold dietary supplements under CGMPs renders the dietary supplement 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 CGMP rule will include the value of resources devoted to increased sanitation, process monitoring and controls, testing, and written records. The benefits of the CGMP rule are to improve product quality. We estimate that the 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. The CGMP rule will have a significant impact on a substantial number of small businesses, so it is significant under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We anticipate that small businesses will bear a proportionately larger cost than large businesses. 
The IFR, as one piece of the CGMP rule, is not an economically significant regulatory action as defined under Executive Order 12866.  FDA has identified 1,460 establishments that may apply to FDA for an exemption from dietary ingredient identity testing as provided for by this IFR. FDA expects some cost savings from reduced dietary ingredient identity testing depending on the number of firms that successfully apply to FDA for exemption.  The IFR provisions will cause no net change in the benefits of dietary supplement current good manufacturing practices as outlined in the final rule.]]></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 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, labeling or holding process. 
If an incorrect dietary ingredient is added to a dietary supplement, consumers could be exposed to a biologically active substance without their knowledge.  For example, FDA is aware of a case in which Digitalis lanata was misidentified as plantain and, as a result, a young woman experienced a life-threatening abnormal heart function after consuming a dietary supplement containing D. lanata in lieu of plantain. Manufacturers who petition FDA for an exemption from the requirement for 100 percent identity testing would be required to show that a system of less than 100 percent identity testing would result in no material diminution of assurance of the identity of the dietary ingredient as compared to the assurance provided by 100 percent identity testing.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Publication of this final rule is an action item in the Food Protection Plan announced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in November 2007.  

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.

On September 22, 2004, FDA published a proposed rule that would require egg safety measures to prevent the contamination of shell eggs with SE during egg production.  The proposal also solicited comment on whether recordkeeping requirements should include a written SE prevention plan and records for compliance with the SE prevention measures, and whether safe egg handling and preparation practices should be mandated for retail establishments that specifically serve a highly susceptible population (e.g., nursing homes, hospitals, day care centers). The proposed egg production SE prevention measures included: (1) Provisions for procurement of chicks and pullets; (2) a biosecurity program; (3) a rodent and pest control program; (4) cleaning and disinfection of poultry houses that have had an environmental or egg test positive for SE; (5) egg testing when an environmental test is positive; and (6) refrigerated storage of eggs held at the farm. Additionally, to verify that the measures have been effective, the rule proposes that producers test the poultry house environment for SE. If the environmental test is positive, eggs from that environment must be tested for SE, and if the egg test is positive, the eggs must be diverted to egg products processing or a treatment process that achieves at least a five-log destruction of SE.  

The proposed rule was a step in a broader farm-to-table egg safety effort that includes FDA's requirements for safe handling statements on egg cartons, and refrigerated storage of shell eggs at retail, and egg safety education for consumers and retail establishments. The rule had a 90-day comment period, which ended December 21, 2004. To discuss the proposed rule and solicit comments from interested stakeholders, FDA held three public meetings: October 28, 2004, in College Park, MD; November 9, 2004, in Chicago, IL; and November 16, 2004, in Los Angeles, CA. The comment period was reopened until July 25, 2005, to solicit further comment and information on industry practices and programs that prevent SE-monitored chicks from becoming infected by SE during the period of pullet rearing until placement into laying hen houses.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA proposed regulations as part of the farm-to-table safety system for eggs outlined by the President's Council on Food Safety in its Egg Safety Action Plan. FDA intends to publish a final egg safety rule because of the continued reports of outbreaks of foodborne illness and death caused by SE that are associated with the consumption of shell eggs. The agency believes that this rule, when final, will have significant effect in reducing the risk of illness from SE-contaminated eggs and will contribute significantly to the interim public health goal of a 50 percent reduction in egg-related SE illness.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA's legal basis 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s legal basis also derives from 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.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[There are several alternatives that the Agency considered in the proposed rule. The principal alternatives included: (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 a final regulation to control Salmonella enteritidis in shell eggs derive from improved practices that reduce contamination and generate benefits measured as the value of the human illnesses prevented. FDA has produced 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, recordkeeping, refrigeration, and feed testing. The actual costs and benefits of the final rule will depend upon the set of mitigations chosen and the set of entities covered.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The 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s  decision to publish a final rule to reduce this risk of SE contamination of shell eggs is 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>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 (the act), which was added by section 307 of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act), requires notification to FDA prior to the entry of imported food. The regulation 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.

Section 307 authorizes the Secretary, through FDA, to promulgate final regulations by December 12, 2003.  FDA and the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued an interim final rule (IFR) on October 10, 2003 (68 FR 58974).  The IFR originally provided a 75-day comment period to ensure that those that comment on the IFR have the benefit of our outreach and educational efforts and have the experience with the systems, timeframes, and data elements.  We reopened the comment period for an additional 90 days in April through July 2004, to allow for additional comment on the industry's experience with the prior notice system, and comment on the Joint FDA-CBP Plan for Increasing Integration and Assessing the Coordination of Prior Notice Timeframes.  The final rule currently is under development, and it will confirm or amend the IFR, as appropriate.  This final rule is not expected to have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <LEGAL_DLINE_OVERALL_DESC>The Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, section 307, directs the Secretary, through FDA, to issue final regulations establishing prior notice requirements for all imported food by December 12, 2003. If FDA fails to issue final regulations by this date, the statute is self-executing on this date, and requires FDA to receive prior notice of not less than eight hours, nor more than five days, until final regulations are issued. </LEGAL_DLINE_OVERALL_DESC>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This final rule is needed to complete the rulemaking process to implement section 307 of the Bioterrorism Act.  The proposed rule was published on February 3, 2003, (68 FR 5428) and the interim final rule on October 10, 2003 (68 FR 58974).]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 307 of the Bioterrorism Act amended the act by adding section 801(m), which authorizes the Secretary through FDA to establish by regulation requirements for the notification to FDA prior to the entry of imported food. In addition, section 307 of the Bioterrorism Act also amends section 301 of the act by making the offering of a food for import or the importing of a food without prior notification, as required by the new regulations, a prohibited act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[An alternative is to leave the IFR in place and not to issue a final rule.  However, we received numerous comments in response to the IFR that require a response.  Finalizing this rule will assist industry and the public in better understanding and complying with the prior notice requirements.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The final rule will amend the interim final rule already in place.  We do not expect the changes from the interim final rule to be economically significant.

This final rule will require that FDA be notified prior to the arrival of the food.  

Having prior notice of imported food will help deter deliberate and accidental contamination of food shipments.  Knowledge of when, where, and how imported food will enter the United States will help mitigate the effects of any potential food contamination issues.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Regulations implementing legislation to protect the health of citizens against bioterrorism and other public health threats 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 FDA's ability to address bioterrorism events and public-health threats associated with imported food.]]></RISKS>

        <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>Charging for Investigational Drugs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 14, 2006, (71 FR 75168), FDA published a proposed rule to amend FDA's investigational new drug regulation concerning charging for investigational drugs.  The rule will clarify the circumstances in which charging for an investigational drug in a clinical trial is appropriate, set forth criteria for charging for an investigational drug for the different types of treatment uses described in the Agency's rule on expanded access to investigational drugs for treatment use, and clarify what costs can be recovered for an investigational drug.  The rule is intended to permit charging for a broader range of investigational uses than is explicitly permitted in current regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration proposed in the Federal Register of December 14, 2006 (75 FR 75147), to amend the regulations governing investigational new drugs to describe the ways patients may obtain investigational drugs for treatment use under expanded access programs.  Such use of investigational drugs would be available to:  (1) Individual patients, including in emergencies; (2) intermediate size patient populations; and (3) larger populations under a treatment protocol or treatment IND.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (Modernization Act) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) to include specific provisions concerning expanded access to investigational drugs for treatment use.  In particular, section 561(b) of the Act permits any person, acting through a licensed physician, to request access to an investigational drug to diagnose, monitor, or treat a serious disease or condition provided that a number of conditions are met.  The rule is needed to incorporate into FDAs regulations this and other provisions of the Modernization Act concerning access to investigational drugs.

In addition, the agency seeks to increase awareness and knowledge of expanded access programs and the procedures for obtaining investigational drugs for treatment use.  The rule will assist in achieving this goal by describing in detail the criteria, submission requirements, and safeguards applicable to different types of treatment uses.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA has the authority to impose requirements concerning the treatment use of investigational drugs under various sections of the Act, including sections 505(i), 561, and 701(a) (21 U.S.C. 355(i), 360bbb, and 371(a)).

Section 505(i) of the Act directs the Secretary to promulgate regulations exempting from the operation of the new drug approval requirements drugs intended solely for investigational use by experts qualified by scientific training and expertise to investigate the safety and effectiveness of drugs.  The proposed rule explains procedures and criteria for obtaining FDA authorization for treatment uses of investigational drugs.

The Modernization Act provides significant additional authority for this rulemaking.  Section 561(a) states that the Secretary may, under appropriate conditions determined by the Secretary, authorize the shipment of investigational drugs for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a serious disease or condition in emergency situations.  Section 561(b) allows any person, acting through a physician licensed in accordance with State law, to request from a manufacturer or distributor an investigational drug for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a serious disease or condition if certain conditions are met.  Section 561(c) closely tracks FDAs existing regulation at 21 CFR part 312.34 providing for treatment use by large patient populations under a treatment protocol or treatment IND if a number of conditions are met. 

Section 701(a) provides the Secretary with the general authority to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of the Act.  By clarifying the criteria and procedures relating to treatment use of investigational products, this proposed rule is expected to aid in the efficient enforcement of the Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[One alternative to this rulemaking that FDA considered was not to promulgate regulations implementing the expanded access provisions of the Modernization Act.  However, the agency believes that promulgating regulations would further improve the availability of investigational drugs for treatment use by providing clear direction to sponsors, patients, and licensed physicians about the criteria for authorizing treatment use and what information must be submitted to FDA.  

Another alternative FDA considered was a regulation describing only individual patient and large scale expanded access criteria.  However, the agency concluded that it would be preferable to have a third category of expanded access for intermediate size patient populations.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA expects that the total one-time costs of the rule will be negligible.  The agency expects that the annual and annualized costs of the rule will range from a low of about $130,000 to $260,000 in the first year following publication of a final rule based on the proposal, to a high of about $350,000 to $690,000 in the fourth and fifth years.  These estimates suggest that total annual and annualized costs for the rule would be between $1.4 million and $2.7 million for the 5-year period following implementation of any final rule based on the proposal.  The agency also expects that the estimated incremental cost burdens associated with this rule are likely to be widely dispersed among affected entities.

The benefits of the rule are expected to result from improved patient access to investigational drugs generally and from treatment use being made available for a broader variety of disease conditions and treatment settings.  In particular, the clarification of eligibility criteria and submission requirements would enhance patient access by easing the administrative burdens on individual physicians seeking investigational drugs for their patients and on sponsors who make investigational drugs available for treatment use.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The agency foresees no risks associated with the rule.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Human Subject Protection; Foreign Clinical Studies Not Conducted Under an Investigational New Drug Application </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule follows a proposed rule, which proposed to 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 proposed to replace the requirement in 21 CFR part 312.120 that non-IND foreign clinical studies be conducted in accordance with ethical principles stated in the Declaration of Helsinki or with the laws and regulations of the country that is the research site, whichever provide greater protection to subjects.  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 subjects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Distribution of Blood Derivatives by Registered Blood Establishments That Qualify as Health Care Entities; PDMA of 1987; PDA of 1992; Policies, Requirements, and Administrative Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is amending certain limited provisions of the implementing regulations of the Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA) of 1987, as modified by the Prescription Drug Amendments (PDA) of 1992 and the FDA Modernization Act of 1997. Certain provisions of that final rule that published on December 3, 1999 (64 FR 67720), would not allow registered blood establishments or hemophilia treatment centers  that provide health care services to concurrently distribute drugs, including blood derivatives.  The effective date of those provisions of that rule is delayed until December 1, 2008, as published on November 13, 2006 (71 FR 66108)--final rule; the applicability date was delayed in order to consider comments on the proposed rule published in the Federal Register February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5200). FDA is amending the final rule to allow registered blood establishments that provide health care services related to their activities as blood establishments and certain hemophilia treatment centers to also distribute certain products, including blood derivatives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the regulations regarding container labels and instruction circulars for certain human blood and blood components, including Source Plasma, 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 Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, as well as on public comments. This action is intended to help ensure the continued safety of the blood supply and to help ensure consistency in container labeling.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded.  After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed.  The first action addresses labeling for products formulated and marketed as lip protectants.  The second action addresses skin protectant products used to treat fever blisters and cold sores.  The third action identifies safe and effective skin protectant active ingredients to treat and prevent diaper rash.  The fourth action addresses astringent active ingredients.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 6, 2005, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed to amend its regulations to prohibit the use of certain cattle origin materials in the food or feed of all animals to help strengthen existing safeguards to prevent the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in U.S. cattle.  The discovery of a BSE-positive dairy cow in December 2003 has caused FDA to review its policies for prevention of BSE, which resulted in this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Materials Derived From Cattle in Human Food and Cosmetics</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 14, 2004, FDA issued an interim final rule (IFR), effective immediately, to prohibit the use of certain cattle material and to address the potential risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in human food, including dietary supplements, and cosmetics. Prohibited cattle materials under the IFR include specified risk materials, small intestine of all cattle, material from nonambulatory disabled cattle, material from cattle not inspected and passed for human consumption, and mechanically separated (MS) beef. Specified risk materials are the brain, skull, eyes, trigeminal ganglia, spinal cord, vertebral column (excluding the vertebrae of the tail, the transverse processes of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and the wings of the sacrum), and dorsal root ganglia of cattle 30 months and older; and the tonsils and distal ileum of the small intestine of all cattle. Prohibited cattle materials do not include tallow that contains no more than 0.15 percent hexane-insoluble impurities and tallow derivatives. This action minimizes human exposure to materials that scientific studies have demonstrated are highly likely to contain the BSE agent in cattle infected with the disease. Scientists believe that the human disease variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is likely caused by the consumption of products contaminated with the agent that causes BSE.  After reviewing comments received to the interim final rule, FDA intends to issue a final rule.  

On September 7, 2005, FDA amended the IFR to permit the use of small intestine in human food and cosmetics if it is effectively removed from the distal ileum.  The amendment also clarified that milk and milk products, hides, and tallow derivatives are not prohibited for use in human food and cosmetics.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Materials Derived From Cattle in Medical Products Intended for Use in Humans and Drugs Intended for Use in Ruminants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulation would prohibit the use of certain cattle material in the manufacture of medical products for humans and drugs for ruminants, and would require recordkeeping for products containing or manufactured with cattle materials to enable monitoring and enforcement of the prohibitions. The rule would prohibit the same cattle material that is prohibited in the previous FDA IFR that applies to foods and cosmetics. These include certain high risk tissues (e.g., brain, skull, eyes, spinal cord, trigeminal ganglia, parts of the vertebral column, and dorsal root ganglia) from cattle 30 months and older, tonsils and the distal ileum of cattle of any age, mechanically separated beef, material from nonambulatory disabled cattle, and material from cattle not inspected and passed for human consumption. The prohibitions would apply only to materials derived from animals slaughtered after the effective dates of the rule. The prohibitions would not apply to tallow that met a specified purity standard. The rule would provide criteria for deviations from the requirements based on a showing of safety or appropriate benefit-to-risk ratio.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Index of Legally Marketed Unapproved New Animal Drugs for Minor Species</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule is being issued in response to the Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) Animal Health Act of 2004.  The rule implements section 572 of the MUMS Act, which provides for a public index listing of legally marketed unapproved new animal drugs for minor species of animals (species other than cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats).  The drugs in this index will only be indicated for use in non-food minor species or  for use in early non-food life stages to food-producing minor species.  This rule will, among other things, specify the procedures for requesting eligibility for indexing and for requesting addition to the index as well as the reporting requirements for index holders.  This rule will also describe the criteria requestors will use for assembling a qualified expert panel to evaluate for FDA the target animal safety and effectiveness of a new animal drug proposed for indexing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exceptions or Alternatives To Labeling Requirements for Products Held by the Strategic National Stockpile</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is issuing regulations to permit FDA Center Directors to grant an exception or alternative to certain regulatory labeling provisions applicable to human drugs, biological products, or medical devices that are or will be included in the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS).  Under this rule, the appropriate Center Director may grant an exception or alternative to such labeling requirements if he or she determines that compliance with such requirements could adversely affect the safety, effectiveness, or availability of specified lots, batches, or other units of human drugs, biological products, or medical devices that are or will be included in the SNS.  A grant of an exception or alternative under these regulations will include any safeguards or conditions deemed appropriate by the Center Director to ensure that the labeling of such products includes information for the safe and effective use of the products given their anticipated circumstances of use.  This rule will facilitate the safety, effectiveness, and availability of appropriate medical countermeasures in the event of a public health emergency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Submission of In Vivo Bioequivalence Data</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a proposed regulation on October 29, 2003 (68 FR 61640), that would 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. If finalized, this rule would 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>

        <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, establish a separate classification for oxygen conserving devices, and establish a special control for these devices to address problems of fire and explosion associated with use of these devices. The special control would be a guidance document that includes standardized testing, performance, and labeling guidance for industry. Devices that meet the standard identified in the special controls guidance document would be exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act).  The requirements of the proposed rule would be phased-in to minimize the cost of complying with the special control.]]></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 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 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>

        <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, which ones 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 (60 FR 47453 and 60 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 proposed a set of general principles that define how modern food standards should be structured (70 FR 29214, May 20, 2005). 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 9 CFR part 319 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 proposed rule would amend the packaging and labeling control provisions of the current good manufacturing practice regulations for human and veterinary drug products by limiting the application of special control procedures for the use of cut labeling to immediate container labels, individual unit cartons, or multiunit cartons containing immediate containers that are not packaged in individual unit cartons.  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[On November 25, 2003 (68 FR 66040), FDA issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to request comments on alternatives for regulating qualified health claims in the labeling of conventional human foods and dietary supplements.  FDA also solicited comments on various other issues related to health claims and on the appropriateness and nature of dietary guidance statements on conventional food and dietary supplement labels. This ANPRM was signaled in the July 11, 2003 (68 FR 41387), notice that announced the availability of the final report of the FDA Task Force on the Consumer Health Information for Better Nutrition Initiative.

Comments on the regulatory alternatives and additional topics identified in the ANPRM will inform FDA decisions about regulation of qualified health claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Obstetrical and Gynecological Devices; Designation of Special Control for Condoms and Condoms With Spermicidal Lubricant</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The classification regulations for male condoms would be amended to specify a labeling guidance document as a special control for condoms made from natural rubber latex. The new special control guidance document would identify issues presented by these devices, and would provide detailed recommendations for labeling to address these issues.  FDA believes that compliance with the recommendations in the guidance, or with some equivalent means of addressing the identified issues, together with the general controls, will provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of these devices. These labeling recommendations are also consistent with the labeling requirements of 21 CFR part 801.  The rule will demonstrate how the Agency is addressing the congressional directive of Public Law 106-554 that FDA review condom labeling to assure that the information regarding the overall effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of condoms in preventing sexually transmitted diseases is medically accurate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 101.9 (21 CFR part 101.9) describes the nutrition labeling regulations for the reference amount customarily consumed per eating occasion for the food category "Baking powder, baking soda, pectin." Section 101.12 (21 CFR part 101.12) includes 1/8 teaspoon (tsp) as an additional allowable household measure. FDA is undertaking a review of sections 101.9 and 101.12 under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulations in sections 101.9 and 101.12 should be continued without change, or whether they should be amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of applicable statutes, to minimize any significant economic impact 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 sections 101.9 and 101.12; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the regulations in sections 101.9 and 101.12; (3) the complexity of the regulations; (4) the extent to which the regulations in sections 101.9 and 101.12 overlap, duplicate, or conflict with other Federal rules, and to the extent feasible, with 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 sections 101.9 and 101.12.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>CGMPs for Blood and Blood Components: Notification of Consignees and Transfusion Recipients Receiving Blood and Blood Components at Increased Risk of Transmitting HCV 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, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of New Animal Drugs for Minor Uses or Minor Species</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule was published on September 27, 2005, in response to the Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) Animal Health Act of 2004.  The rule would implement section 573 of the MUMS Act, which sets forth the requirements for drug sponsors requesting MUMS designation for proposed new animal drugs.  MUMS designation of a new animal drug allows drug sponsors to be granted 7 years of exclusive marketing rights for these limited demand new animal drugs once the drugs are approved or conditionally approved. This regulation would define content and format requirements for designation, requests changing designation ownership, and annual reporting requirements. This rule would also describe the criteria CVM will use for granting or denying these requests.  Specific sections of the rule are dedicated to documentation of MUMS status in a request, granting MUMS designation, and revocation of MUMS designation.  FDA intends to finalize this proposal after reviewing comments received. This is a voluntary program for animal drug sponsors.  A large number of these drug companies are classified as small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

The section 610 review has been carried out along with a regulation 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 principles 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Package Size Limitation for Sodium Phosphates Oral Solution and Warning and Direction Statements for Oral and Rectal Sodium Phosphates for Over-the-Counter Laxative Use</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 201.307 (21 CFR sec. 201.307) describes a final rule to limit the container size for sodium phosphates oral solution (dibasic sodium phosphate/monobasic sodium phosphate oral solution) to not greater than 90 milliliters (mL) (3 ounces (oz) when used as an over-the-counter (OTC) laxative drug product.  FDA limited the container size due to reports of deaths associated with an overdosage of sodium phosphates when packaged in a larger size container and a larger-than-intended dose was ingested inadvertently.  In addition, this final rule required warning and direction statements to inform consumers that exceeding the recommended dose of oral and rectal sodium phosphates products in a 24-hour period could be harmful.

FDA is initiating a review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act for the regulation in section 201.307.  The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulation in section 201.307 should be continued without change, or whether it should be further 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 regulation in section 201.307; (2) the nature of the complaints or comments received concerning the regulation in section 201.307;  (3) the complexity of the regulation in section 201.307; (4) the extent to which the regulation in section 201.307 overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or governmental rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed for the products still subject to the package size and labeling regulation in section 201.307.

The section 610 review has been 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 principles set forth in the Executive order.  During the review, FDA received one comment.  This comment will be addressed on a future rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Over-the-Counter Drug Products Containing Analgesic/Antipyretic Active Ingredients for Internal Use: Required Alcohol Warning</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 201.322 describes a regulation that requires an alcohol warning for all over-the-counter (OTC) drug products, labeled for adult use, containing internal analgesic/antipyretic active ingredients.  The required warning statements advise consumers with a history of heavy alcohol use to consult a physician for advice about the use of OTC internal analgesic/antipyretic drug products. FDA issued the final rule after considering comments on the Agencys proposed regulation for OTC internal analgesic, antipyretic, and antirheumatic drug products: A proposed regulation to establish an alcohol warning, recommendations from its Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee (NDAC) and Arthritis Drugs Advisory Committee (ADAC), and data submitted to the agency. 

FDA is initiating a review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act for the regulation in section 201.322.  The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulation in section 201.322 should be continued without change, or whether it should be further amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of applicable statutes, to minimize adverse impacts on a substantial number of small entities.  FDA proposed to remove section 201.322 in the Federal Register on December 26, 2006 (71 FR 77314).  FDA will consider the comments received in response to that proposal and, in addition, is soliciting comments on the following:  (1) The continued need for the regulation in section 201.322; (2) the nature of the complaints or comments received concerning the regulation in section 201.322;  (3) the complexity of the regulation in section 201.322; (4) the extent to which the regulation in section 201.322 overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or governmental rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed for the products still subject to the labeling regulation in section 201.322.

The section 610 review has been 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 principles set forth in the Executive order.  This review concluded with the publication of proposed amendment of the tentative final monograph; required warnings and other labeling. 71 FR 77314]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rules to implement the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 establish a framework in which hospitals, doctors, and other health care providers may voluntarily contract with Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) to report and analyze health care errors.  Providers contract with PSOs for expertise in the collection of patient safety event reports and analysis of the cause of adverse events.  The proposed rules outline the requirements that entities must meet and certify to the Secretary for acceptance as a PSO.  The proposed rules establish legal boundaries of privilege and confidentiality within which reporting and analysis occurs, and sets forth procedures for the imposition of civil money penalties for the knowing or reckless disclosure of patient safety work product.]]></ABSTRACT>

The existing requirements are design-specific for a particular monitoring technology that has been available since the 1970s.  The amendments would establish requirements that would promote the development and govern the testing and approval of new coal mine dust sampler designs and technology for use in coal mines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CDC is changing the definition of "communicable disease of public health significance" in 42 CFR part 34.2(b).  We are taking this action to afford CDC the maximum flexibility it needs to identify and respond to newly emerging and reemerging diseases.  The existing definition is outdated, and immediate changes are urgently needed to improve the U.S. Government's ability to prevent the importation of infectious diseases that are currently causing severe illness and death in regions of the world where large numbers of U.S.-bound immigrants and refugees reside.  Annually, approximately 500,000 immigrants and refugees enter the United States to reside permanently.  The majority arrive from Asia, Africa, and Central and South America, regions with recently reported outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By statute, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has broad authority to prevent introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and from one State or possession into another. Quarantine regulations are divided into two parts: Part 71 dealing with foreign arrivals and part 70 dealing with interstate matters. The Secretary has delegated the authority to prevent the introduction of diseases from foreign countries to the Director, CDC. CDC maintains quarantine stations at 20 ports of entry staffed with medical and public health officers who respond to reports of diseases from carriers. According to the statutory scheme, the President determines through Executive order which diseases may subject individuals to quarantine. The current disease list, which was last updated in April 2005, includes cholera, diphtheria, tuberculosis, plague, smallpox, yellow fever, viral hemorrhagic fevers, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and influenza caused by novel or reemergent influenza viruses that are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic.]]></ABSTRACT>

As diseases evolve due to natural occurrences or man-made events, it is important to ensure that prevention procedures reflect new threats and uniform ways to contain them. Recent experiences with emerging infectious diseases such as West Nile Virus, SARS, and monkeypox have illustrated both the rapidity with which disease may spread throughout the world and the impact that communicable diseases, when left unchecked, may have on the global economy. Stopping an outbreakwhether it is naturally occurring or intentionally causedrequires the use of the most rapid and effective public health tools available. Two of these tools are isolation and quarantine. Isolation refers to the separation or restriction of movement of ill persons with an infectious disease in order to prevent transmission to those who are not ill.  Quarantine refers to the separation and restriction of movement of persons who, while not yet ill, have been exposed to an infectious agent and therefore may become infectious.  Isolation and quarantine of ill and exposed persons may be one of the best initial strategies to prevent the uncontrolled spread of highly dangerous biologic agentsespecially when combined with other health strategies such as vaccination, prophylactic drug treatment, and other appropriate infection control measures.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[These regulations would be proposed under the authority of 25 U.S.C. 198, 231, 2001; 42 U.S.C. 243, 264 to 271. In addition, section 361(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264(b)) authorizes the apprehension, detention, or conditional release of persons to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of specified communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and from one State or possession into another. Among other public health powers, the lawful ability to inspect property, to medically examine and monitor persons, and to detain or quarantine exists in current regulations. Acknowledging the critical importance of protecting the publics health, long-standing court decisions uphold the ability of Congress and State legislatures to enact quarantine and other public health laws and to have them executed by public health officials.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[These regulations are necessary to ensure that HHS has the tools it needs to respond to public health emergencies and disease threats. Any less stringent alternatives would prevent the Department from the most effective possible pursuit of this objective.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The primary cost impact of the proposed rule would be data collection, transmission, storage and retrieval, and costs associated with contact tracing.  The benefits of this rule will offer procedures that more completely describe the 21st century implementation of disease containment measures such as isolation and quarantine. These procedures are expected to expedite and improve CDC operations by allowing immediate medical follow-up of potentially infected passengers and their contacts.  The benefits of the rule would be measured in terms of the number of deaths and illnesses prevented by rapid intervention.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Failure to move forward with this rulemaking would hinder the Nations ability to use the most rapid and effective public health tools available when responding to public health emergencies and disease threats.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interstate Shipment of Etiologic Agents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HHS/CDC proposes to rescind part 72 of title 42, Code of Federal Regulations, which governs the interstate shipment of etiologic agents, because the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) already has in effect a more comprehensive set of regulations applicable to the transport in commerce of infectious substances.  DOT harmonizes its transport requirements with international standards adopted by the United Nations (UN) Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods for the classification, packaging, and transport of infectious substances.   Rescinding the rule will eliminate duplication of the more current DOT regulations that cover intrastate and international, as well as interstate, transport.  HHS/CDC replaced those sections of part 72 that deal with select biological agents and toxins with a new set of regulations found in part 73 of title 42.  HHS/CDC anticipates that rescission of part 72 will alleviate confusion and reduce the regulatory burden with no adverse impact on public health and safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

Additionally, the individual agrees to at least 10 consecutive weeks of service (employment) at NIH during which the individual is attending the educational institution and receiving the NIH scholarship.  The proposed new regulations will govern this program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NIH proposes to amend the regulations governing Minority Biomedical Research Support Program grants by revising the definition of Program Director to mean one or more individuals designated by the grant application, and approved by the Secretary, who is or are responsible for the scientific and technical direction of the program, rather than limiting the role of the program director to one single individual when that more accurately reflects the management needs of a research program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise the existing Conditions of Participation (CoPs) that Home Health Agencies (HHAs) must meet to participate in the Medicare program. 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 our 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-P2)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Medicare certification and payment requirements for rural health clinics (RHCs), as required by section 4205 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.  It proposes to change the definition of a qualifying rural shortage area in which a Medicare RHC must be located; establish criteria for identifying RHCs essential to delivery of primary care services that we can continue to approve as Medicare RHCs in areas no longer designated as medically underserved; and limit nonphysician practitioner staffing requirements.  This rule proposes to impose payment limits on provider-based RHCs and prohibit the use of RHC space, professional staff, equipment, and other RHC resources by another Medicare entity.  The rule also proposes to  require RHCs to establish a quality assessment and performance improvement program. In light of the fact that section 902 of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 requires the Secretary to issue regulations within 3 years, CMS is republishing the provisions of the final RHC rule as a proposed rule to provide the public with an opportunity to formally comment on the new policies established under the December 24, 2003, rule. In addition, we are proposing new policy revisions to the RHC and FQHC program to improve and strengthen this rural safety net benefit which addresses section 5114 of the Deficit Reduction act of 2005.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waiver of Disapproval of Nurse Aide Training Program in Certain Cases and Nurse Aide Petition for Removal of Information for Singular Finding of Neglect (CMS-2266-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would permit a waiver or nurse aide training disapproval for skilled nursing facilities and nursing facilities that are assessed a civil money penalty of at least $5,000 for noncompliance that is not related to quality of care.  The purpose of this regulation is to implement the legislative waiver provision enacted on December 8, 2003, in section 932(c)(2) of the MMA.  The ability to make these waiver determinations could allow continued and consistent operation of a nursing home's nurse aide training program in facilities having non-quality of care deficiencies, which would ultimately benefit residents.  This rule would also codify statutory provisions at sections 1819(g)(1)(D) and 1919(g)(1)(D) of the Social Security Act that would permit the State to establish a procedure to permit a nurse aide to petition the State to have a singular finding of neglect removed from the nurse aide registry if the State determines that the employment and personal history of the nurse aide does not reflect a pattern of abusive behavior or neglect and the neglect involved in the original finding was a singular occurrence.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application of Certain Appeals Provisions to the Medicare Prescription Drug Appeals Process (CMS-4127-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The voluntary prescription drug benefit program was enacted into law by section 101 of title 1 of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA).  The implementing regulations for the Part D program were published in a final rule on January 28, 2005, and became effective March 22, 2005.  These regulations provide that the Medicare Advantage (MA) rules regarding appeals and reopenings will apply to the Part D appeals process to the extent they are appropriate.  The MA regulations in turn apply the fee-for-service (FFS) appeals regulations (concerning the administrative review and hearing processes and representation of parties under titles II and XVIII of the Act) to the extent they are appropriate.

Based on this regulatory framework, we noted in the January 28, 2005, rule that differences in the appeals procedures for Part D enrollees would be addressed in a future Part D rulemaking document.  The purpose of the proposed rule is to provide additional guidance on the differences in appeals procedures for Part D enrollees by proposing more detailed regulations governing Part D appeals at the ALJ, MAC, and Federal district court levels and reopenings of determinations and decisions that follow the Part A and Part B procedures set forth in the part 405 rule, as appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The voluntary prescription drug benefit program (Part D) was enacted into law by Title I of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA).  The MMA specified that the prescription drug benefit would become available on January 1, 2006 for individuals entitled to benefits under Medicare Part A or enrolled under Medicare Part B.  The implementing regulations for the Part D program were published in a final rule on January 28, 2005, and became effective March 22, 2005.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In addition to developing regulations, the agency also considered providing this guidance through a CMS Ruling.  Similarly, we also weighed the option of not issuing any additional guidance, and allowing individual adjudicators to determine how the provisions apply to part D appeals and reopenings.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[In the current Part D appeals process, there are no explicit procedures for processing appeal requests at the ALJ, MAC, or Federal court levels or for processing reopening requests.  The absence of clear and efficient procedures for upper level appeals and reopenings may delay beneficiary access and/or delay the actual processing of appeals at these levels and reopenings.  The costs associated with these outcomes are likely to be increased costs for beneficiaries.  Beneficiaries who have difficulty accessing the appeals or reopenings processes or who cannot access these processes, may elect to pay for their medications out-of-pocket.  Similarly,  beneficiaries who experience delays in receiving appeals decisions, may choose to pay for their medications while awaiting a decision.  Finally, beneficiaries who are without their medications for extended periods of time because they experience long delays in processing appeals may experience adverse health consequences, including additional hospitalizations.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Under the current regulatory framework, the absence of specific rules governing the adjudication of upper level Part D appeals requires each adjudicator to make his/her own determination about how the provisions apply to the Part D appeals and reopenings processes.  Relying on individual adjudicators could result in inconsistencies in the process for beneficiaries.]]></RISKS>

Section 902 of the MMA requires that proposed or interim final rules be finalized within 3 years of the initial publication or the rule will sunset; therefore, CMS is publishing this update as a proposed rule. 

These regulations outline the requirements for States and CMS to develop a process to certify Medigap policies of health insurance issuers.  Since 1982 there have been several legislative enactments (including OBRA 90 and the MMA) that have changed the process and these changes must be incorporated into the rules.

We believe there will be a positive reaction to the proposed rule since it will be incorporating the certification process that has been updated by statute.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule finalizes the February 4, 2005 proposed rule entitled "Medicare Program; Conditions for Coverage for End Stage Renal Disease Facilities."  The requirements were last revised in their entirety in 1976.   The final rule establishes new conditions for coverage that dialysis facilities must meet to be certified under the Medicare program.  This final rule focuses on the results of care provided to the patient, establishes performance expectations for facilities, encourages patients to participate in their plan of care and treatment, eliminates  some procedural requirements, and preserves strong process measures when necessary to promote patient safety and well being, and continuous quality improvement.  This final rule implements current professional standards of practice, provides a structure for internal facility quality improvement, and a framework for external oversight.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Social Security Act (the Act) authorizes benefits for individuals who have been determined to have end stage renal disease.  The Act authorizes payments on behalf of such individuals to providers of services and renal dialysis facilities "which meet requirements as the Secretary shall by regulation prescribe."  ESRD conditions for coverage may be revised as needed under the Secretary's rulemaking authority.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Retain the current conditions and rely upon the various quality improvement initiatives (e.g., the Dialysis Facility Compare website and the CMS Clinical Performance Measures Project) that have improved beneficiaries' quality of care.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[We expect some Medicare savings resulting from this final rule due to an increase in the number of patients who will be exposed to the advantages of obtaining an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), and an increase in the number of patients choosing the option of self-care (home) dialysis as a result of it being discussed and explained to them.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The final rule must be published by February 4, 2008 in order to comply with section 902 of the Medicare Modernization Act.  In addition, failure to update the requirements would result in outdated ESRD conditions for coverage that are over 31 years old and do not reflect current medical practices or scientific advances in the field.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule is a regulatory reform initiative that revises existing conditions of participation that hospices must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  The requirements focus on the actual care delivered to patients and patients' families by hospices and the results of that care, reflect an interdisciplinary view of patient care, and allow hospices greater flexibility in meeting quality standards.  These changes are an integral part of our 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This final rule revises and reorganizes the existing conditions of participation (CoPs) for Medicare participating hospice providers first published in 1983.  The final rule focuses on the care delivered to patients and patients families by hospices and the outcomes of that care.  The requirements continue to reflect an interdisciplinary view of patient care and allow hospices flexibility in meeting quality standards.  These changes are an integral part of the Administration's efforts to achieve broad-based improvements in the quality of health care furnished through the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This rule codifies hospice language in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Social Security Act (the Act) provides the statutory qualifications and requirements that a hospice must meet to receive payment for hospice care given to Medicare beneficiaries who elect the hospice benefit under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This section gives the Secretary broad authority to establish standards for hospices. Under this authority, the Secretary established conditions of participation (CoPs) for hospices. 

In addition, the Act gives the Secretary the authority to make and publish such rules and regulations as may be necessary to the efficient administration of the functions with which he is charged under the Act.  This section of the Act gives the Secretary broad authority to establish requirements for hospices that are necessary for the efficient administration of the Medicare program.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Rely on the current CoPs: We concluded that this was not a reasonable option because the current CoPs are not patient-focused but rather problem-focused, an approach that has inherent limits.  Trying to ensure quality through the enforcement of prescriptive health and safety standards, rather than trying to improve quality of care for all patients, adversely affects agency improvement efforts and does not stimulate broad-based quality of care initiatives.  On the other hand, revising the current CoPs would take advantage of continuing advances in health care delivery.

Increase prescriptive requirements relative to patient rights, drugs and durable medical equipment, and personnel qualifications: We decided not to pursue this approach because the additional burden that would be placed on hospices would outweigh any potential benefits.

Exclude the revisions to the comprehensive assessment and interdisciplinary group requirements: Since these areas represent two of the most frequently cited deficiencies noted during hospice surveys and have a great impact on patient care, we decided that these sections did, in fact, need to be strengthened.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Provisions within the final rule may require that some hospices provide patient care and patient care related services that they are not currently providing.  These services will most likely require a cost outlay.  Since these rules have not been revised for over 20 years, we believe that many of the improvements that are being made are already being implemented in whole or in part by a portion of hospices.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This final rule must be published by May 26, 2008 in order to comply with section 902 of the Medicare Modernization Act.  In addition, failure to update these outdated regulations will not address the needs of patients or providers.]]></RISKS>

This rule also clarifies the standard for determining the existence of a hold harmless arrangement under the positive correlation test, Medicaid payment test, and the guarantee test (with conforming changes to parallel provisions concerning hold harmless arrangements with respect to provider-related donations); codifies descriptions for two classes of health care services permissible under Federal statute for purposes of taxes on health care providers; and removes obsolete transition period regulatory language.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the definition of Medicaid rehabilitative services in order to provide for important beneficiary protections such as a person-centered written rehabilitation plan and maintenance of case records.  The rule also ensures the fiscal integrity of claimed Medicaid expenditures by clarifying the service definition and providing that Medicaid rehabilitative services must be coordinated with, but do not include services furnished by, other programs that are focused on social or educational development goals and are available as part of other services or programs. These services and programs include, but are not limited to, foster care, child welfare, education, child care, prevocational and vocational services, housing, parole and probation, juvenile justice, public guardianship, and any other non-Medicaid services from Federal, State, or local programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Limitation on Contractor Liability (CMS-2264-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6034 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 established the Medicaid Integrity Program to promote the integrity of the Medicaid program by authorizing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to enter into contracts with contractors that will:  (1) Review the actions of individuals or entities furnishing items or services (whether fee-for-service, risk, or other basis) for which payment may be made under an approved State plan and/or any waiver of the plan approved under section 1115 of the Social Security Act; (2) audit claims for payment of items or services furnished, or administrative services furnished, under a State plan; (3) identify overpayment of individuals or entities receiving Federal funds; and (4) educate providers of services, managed care entities, beneficiaries, and other individuals with respect to payment integrity and quality of care.  This proposed rule would set forth limitations on a contractor's liability while performing these services under the Medicaid Integrity Program.

This final rule provides for limitation of a contractor's liability for actions taken to carry out a contract under the Medicaid Integrity Program.  The final rule will, to the extent possible, employ the same or comparable standards and other substantive and procedural provisions as are contained in section 1157 of the Social Security Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Limitation on Recoupment of Provider and Supplier Overpayments (CMS-6025-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements one provision of section 935 of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act which added a new subsection to section 1893 of the Social Security Act.  It adjusts Medicare's ability to recover an overpayment when the Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC) receives a valid appeal from the provider or supplier.  This rule defines the overpayments to which the limitation applies, how the limitation works in concert with the appeals process, and the change in Medicare's obligation to pay interest to a provider or supplier whose appeal is successful at levels above the QIC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 16, 2004, the GAO published a report on Federal fire safety standards and procedures in nursing facilities.  The GAO report cited automatic sprinkler systems in all nursing facilities.  On October 27, 2006, CMS published a proposed rule that would require automatic sprinkler systems as the single most effective fire safety device in long-term care facilities and recommended that CMS explore requiring automatic sprinkler systems in all nursing facilities and request public comments on the length of a phase-in period to allow nursing facilities to comply with the new requirement. We received numerous public comments supporting the propose rule. This rule finalizes the content of the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would establish, in regulations, certain provisions under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (TWWIIA). In addition, this rule would allow States to provide health services to employed individuals with disabilities who lose eligibility for disability benefits due to improvement in medical conditions or because their income exceeds the income limitations.  This rule would also provide a definition for "medically determinable severe impairment" under the TWWIIA.  Under this definition, States would determine eligibility standards for the Medical Improvement Group authorized under the TWWIIA legislation, thereby permitting eligible individuals to retain their Medicaid coverage.

Additionally, this rule would give States offering Medicaid buy-in programs for employed individuals with disabilities the option of applying a minimum work standard to two Medicaid buy-in groups.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6202 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 extends the funding and authorizes and appropriates for FY 2006 $75 million for grants to help fund existing qualified State high-risk pools and $15 million for grants to assist States to create and initially fund qualified high-risk pools.  The bill also authorizes appropriations of $75 million for each year FY 2007 through 2010.  The section 6202 provision establishes:  (1) Seed grants to States for the creation and initial operation of a qualified high-risk pool for those States that do not have one; (2) grants to States to reimburse them for a  percentage of losses incurred based on a methodology that allocates funding by 40 percent among all States, 30 percent to States based on their number of uninsured residents, and 30 percent based on the number of people in State risk pools operating as an existing qualified high-risk pool during specified years; and (3) bonus grants for supplemental consumer benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Policy and Technical Changes to the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit (CMS-4130-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule both clarifies existing policy that is outlined in the final rule published in the Federal Register on January 28, 2005 entitled "Medicare Program; Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit," as well as offers several proposed clarifications of policy for which we seek public comment.  These clarifications address our expectations of Part D sponsors in providing adequate access to home infusion pharmacies for infused covered Part D drugs and supplies associated with the "inhalation of insulin;"  the appropriate drug costs Part D sponsors should use as the basis for:  (1) Calculating beneficiary cost sharing, (2) reporting drug costs to CMS for the purposes of reconciliation and risk sharing, (3) developing bids submitted to CMS, and (4) retiree subsidy provisions related to the actuarial equivalence test.   This final rule also addresses the exclusion from the definition of "a Part D drug" when used for the treatment of sexual or erectile dysfunction, in accordance with an October 26, 2005, statutory amendment to the Social Security Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Enrollment Period and Medicare Premium Changes (CMS-4129-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 5115 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) provides a special enrollment period for Medicare Part B/Part A and waiver of late enrollment penalty and for individuals who are serving as a volunteer outside the United States through a program that covers at least a 12-month period and who have health insurance while providing the voluntary service outside of the United States.  Section 811 of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 as amended by section 5111 of the DRA requires an additional amount be assessed to the Part B premium of individuals who have a modified adjusted gross income that reaches certain levels.  The effective date for these provisions is January 1, 2007.  Since SSA has the responsibility for calculating the additional premium amount, the explanation of this statutory requirement is in its part of the regulations (20 CFR part 418).  CMS will include a reference to the SSA regulation in its change to 42 CFR part 408.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Physicians Referrals to Health Care Entities With Which They Have Financial Relationships (CMS-1810-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule is the third phase (Phase III) of a final rulemaking amending our regulations regarding the physician self-referral prohibition in section 1877 of the Social Security Act (the Act).  Specifically, this rule finalizes and responds to public comments regarding the Phase II interim final rule with commment period published on March 26, 2004.  Phase II set forth the self-referral prohibition and applicable definitions, interpreted various statutory exceptions to the prohibition, and created additional regulatory exceptions for arrangements that do not pose a risk of program or patient abuse (69 FR 16054). In response to public comments in Phase III final rule, we have reduced the regulatory burden on the health care industry through the interpretation of statutory exceptions and by modifying the exceptions that were created using the Secretary's discretionary authority under section 1877(b)(4) of the Act to promulgate exceptions for financial relationships that pose no risk of program or patient abuse.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 302 of the Medicare Modernization Act establishes DME competitive bidding.  National competitive bidding will provide a program for using market forces to set Medicare payment amounts. This will create incentives for suppliers to provide quality items and services while at the same time providing Medicare with reasonable prices for payment.  This rule also incorporates provisions from section 5105 of the DRA of 2005, which concerns beneficiary ownership of certain DMEs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets forth the State requirements to provide information for purposes of estimating improper payments under Medicaid and SCHIP.  The Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 (IPIA) requires heads of Federal agencies to annually estimate and report to Congress estimates of improper payments for the programs they oversee and submit a report on actions the Agency is taking to reduce erroneous payments.  

This rule also responds to the public comments on the August 28, 2006, interim final rule and sets forth State requirements for submitting claims and policies to the Federal contractor for purposes of conducting fee-for-service and managed care reviews.  This rule also responds to public comments on the State requirements for conducting eligibility reviews and estimating payment error rates due to errors in eligibility determinations.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule sets the Federal upper reimbursement limit (FUL) as 250 percent of the average manufacturer price (AMP) for drugs on the FUL list, and will clarify the requirements and manner in which AMPs are determined for multiple-source drugs and other drug payment revisions.  This rule also lists the physician administered multiple-source drugs that the Secretary determines have the highest dollar volume of dispensing in Medicaid and will require manufacturers to include authorized generics when they report their AMP and best price for covered outpatient drugs to the Secretary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Enactment of section 6036 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) requires that, effective July 1, 2006, all new applicants for Medicaid must, declare that they are a citizen or national of the United States or an alien in a satisfactory immigration status.  If claiming to be a citizen or national, submit to the State evidence of citizenship.  Since 1987, aliens claiming to be in a satisfactory immigration status have had to provide evidence of the claimed status and have that status verified with the Department of Homeland Security (previously the Immigration and Naturalization Service).  A regulation is needed in order to implement this provision of the DRA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In section 115(c) of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, legislation was enacted that extended the PHS Act provisions of the Mental Health Parity Act (MHPA) to services furnished through December 31, 2007.   As a result of this most recently enacted legislation,  it is now necessary to again publish conforming changes to the interim final regulation published  June 27, 2003.  These changes would conform the regulatory sunset date to the new statutory sunset date December 31, 2007, and would extend the duration of the increased cost exemption to be consistent with the new sunset date. The conforming changes would make absolutely no substantive changes to the existing regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would further address the existing compliance requirements of the HIPAA Security regulations specific to covered entities that allow offsite access to, or use of, electronic protected health information.  The proposed rule is necessitated by several recent security incidents related to the use of laptops, other portable and mobile devices, and external handware that store, contain, or are used to access electronic protected health information.  It is intended to provide a more prescriptive set of remote security requirements designed to reduce the likelihood of unauthorized uses and disclosures of sensitive health information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of  Revisit User Fee Program for Medicare Survey and Certification Activities (CMS-2268-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would allow CMS to charge revisit user fees to health care facilities cited for deficiencies during initial certification, recertification, or substantiated complaint surveys.  Consistent with the President's long-term goal to promote quality of health care and to cut the deficit in half by FY 2009, the FY 2007 budget includes both new mandatory savings proposals and user fees applied to health care providers that have failed to comply with federal quality of care requirements.  The Quality-Based User Fees would affect only those providers or suppliers for which CMS has identified deficient practices and requires a revisit to assure that corrections have been made.]]></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 simultaneously published 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, the offset of Federal payments for purposes of collecting child support, and the safeguarding of information. This regulation would update various sections in 45 CFR chapter III to reflect the statutory changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action completely replaces the Department of Homeland Securitys interim regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552)(FOIA). This action also makes minor changes to the Departments interim Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a)(Privacy Act) regulations to make them consistent with the new FOIA regulations. The Privacy Act interim regulations will be revised to a more significant extent within the next 18 months. The provisions of this subpart shall apply to each component of the Department. FOIA provides for the disclosure of agency records to the public unless that information is exempt under clearly delineated statutory language. The Privacy Act serves to safeguard the 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 assist the Department in satisfying its responsibility to the public to disclose Departmental information while simultaneously safeguarding individual privacy.]]></ABSTRACT>

This regulation will replace the existing supplemental ethics regulations of other departments, pieces of which were incorporated into DHS that have continued to apply to those employees whose duties and organizational structure have remained largely unchanged after their incorporation.  Two significant areas to be addressed by the supplemental regulation are outside employment and the prohibited purchase of Government-owned, seized or forfeited property by DHS employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT); Biometric Requirements for Exit at Air and Sea Ports</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DHS established the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT) in accordance with a series of legislative mandates requiring that DHS create an integrated automated entry-exit system that records the arrival and departure of aliens; verifies aliens identities; and authenticates travel documents.  On January 5, 2004, DHS published an Interim Final Rule in the Federal Register at 69 FR 468 authorizing the Secretary of Homeland Security to require, in part, certain aliens to provide fingerprints, photograph[s] or other biometric identifiers, documentation of immigration status in the United States, and other such evidence as may be required to determine the aliens identity and whether he or she has properly maintained immigration status while in the United States at the time of departure from the United States. The Interim Rule authorized the establishment of pilot programs at up to fifteen air and sea ports of entry to evaluate the implementation of this departure procedure.  That evaluation pilot has been completed and this proposed rule would establish procedures for collection of biometrics on air and sea departures by aliens.  This rule removes the limit on the collection of this information from the 15 locations of the pilot programs and authorizes implementation at all air and sea ports of entry.  This rule requires those aliens required to provide biometric identifiers at entry to provide biometric identifiers upon departure at any air and sea port of entry at which facilities exist to collect such information.]]></ABSTRACT>

This limitation applies to any cost-reimbursement type contract or task or delivery order in an amount greater than the simplified acquisition threshold [as defined by section 4 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 403)] entered into to facilitate response to or recovery from a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster. A contractor is prohibited from using subcontractors for more than 65 percent of the cost of the contract or the cost of any individual task or delivery order (not including overhead or fee), unless the contracting officer determines that the 65 percent limitation is not feasible or practicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT), Enrollment of Additional Aliens in US-VISIT</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2003, the Department of Homeland Security established the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Technology Program (US-VISIT), whose objective is to create and maintain an integrated, automated entry-exit system that records the arrival and departure of aliens, verifies their identities, and authenticates their travel documents through comparison of biometric identifiers. The goals of the US-VISIT program are to enhance the security of United States citizens and visitors to the United States, facilitate legitimate travel and trade, ensure the integrity of the United States immigration system, and protect the privacy of visitors to the United States. In its early stages, US-VISIT applied only to nonimmigrants with visas and to those who did not require a visa as they were entering under the Visa Waiver Program. This rule would amend DHS regulations to provide that all aliens, including Lawful Permanent Residents, may be enrolled into US-VISIT, with the exception of Canadian citizens entering the United States as either B-1 visitors for business or B-2 visitors for pleasure, or these categories of alien expressly exempt by statute or regulation.]]></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>Collection of Nontax Debts Owed to the Department of Homeland Security</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This 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 nontax 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. 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 offset 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>

        <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 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) was enacted. 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 amended the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to require employers to hire only persons who are eligible to work in the United States and to verify the work eligibility of all new hires. Form I-9 was designated for that purpose. Newly hired individuals must attest to the status that makes them eligible to work and present documents that establish their identity and eligibility to work. In its third review of employer sanctions regulations, the GAO reported that employer confusion over the "multiplicity" of acceptable documents contributed to discrimination against authorized workers. See GAO/GGD Report No. 90-62, dated March 29, 1990. Section 412(a) of IIRIRA requires a reduction in the number of documents that may be accepted in the employment verification process. Implementation of these provisions, along with other simplifications and clarifications, will reduce adverse consequences potentially stemming from misapplication of the verification requirements.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The legal basis of authority for this regulation is set forth above in Legal Authority. Parts of this regulatory action are required by IIRIRA.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The lists of documents for employment verification have been controversial throughout the 20 years that employer sanctions have been in effect. When the Department of Justice (DOJ) first published implementing regulations in 1987, the supplementary information noted that the list of identity documents had been expanded in response to public comment. When the law was new, a consensus emerged that an inclusive list of documents would ensure that all persons who are eligible to work could easily meet the requirements. As early as 1990, there was evidence that some employers found the list confusing. As noted in the "Statement of Need," GAO linked employer confusion over the "multiplicity" of acceptable documents to discrimination against authorized workers. DOJ took steps to address this criticism. In July 1988, DOJ committed to the establishment of a uniform employment authorization policy. First, DOJ limited the number and types of "paper" documents on which employment could be authorized. Second, a standardized Employment Authorization Document (EAD) I-688B was introduced in 1989. In February 1997, a more secure EAD Form (I-766) was produced with state-of-the-art technology.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Employment is often the magnet that attracts individuals to come to or stay in the United States illegally. The employer sanctions provisions help reduce the strength of this magnet by requiring employers to hire only those individuals who may legally work in the United States.  By reducing the number of documents that are acceptable for employment eligibility verification purposes and clarifying other requirements, this rule will reduce confusion on the part of employers. This, in turn, will increase employer compliance, preserving jobs for persons who are eligible to work in the United States.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[An employment eligibility verification system that relies on a wide range of documents may result in misapplication of the employment eligibility verification requirements. In addition, a complicated system may encourage fraud and result in individuals who are authorized to work in the United States being displaced by unauthorized individuals.]]></RISKS>

        <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. 

Docket No. 1890-97; Public Law 104-208, title 4. 

Nos. 1399 and 1399S-94, Control of Employment of Aliens, Supplemental Rule; Action for Nos. 1399 and 1399S is canceled as a result of IIRIRA requirements. 

Docket No. 1399E is an extracted portion of No. 1399, published separately to allow for the production of a new, more secure Employment Authorization Document. 

Docket No. 1713-95, Demonstration Project for Electronic I-9.

Interim Rule No. 1818 was published on September 30, 1997, at 62 FR 51001 to maintain the status quo as much as possible until the Agency completes the more comprehensive document reduction initiative designated by No. 1890-97.

        <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 increased the numerical H-1B cap to 195,000 for fiscal year 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 U.S. 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 the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.

        <RULE_TITLE>Consent To Reapply for Admission After Removal</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DHS and the Department of Labors Employment and Training Administration (DOL) are proposing changes to reduce the incentives and opportunities for fraud and abuse related to the permanent employment of aliens in the United States. DHS is considering the elimination of the current practice of allowing the substitution of alien beneficiaries on permanent labor certifications, among other options. In addition, DHS is proposing to reduce further the likelihood of the submission of malafide Form I-140, Immigration Petition for Alien Worker, which are employment-based petitions that are supported by fraudulent or stale labor certification applications for the permanent employment of aliens in the United States by proposing a 45-day period for employers to file approved permanent labor certifications in support of Form I-140 petitions with DHS after the issuance of an approved labor certification by DOL.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition To Classify Alien as Immediate Relative of a U.S. Citizen or as a Preference Immigrant; Self-Petitioning for Certain Battered or Abused Alien Spouses and Children</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1996, the Immigration and Naturalization Service published an interim rule on this subject at 61 FR 13061.  The USCIS, formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service, received a number of comments in response to that rulemaking.  Most of those comments have since been overcome by events, namely new legislation.  In October 2000, the President signed the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, Public Law 106-386, which contained numerous amendments to the battered spouse provisions contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).  More recently, the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005, Public Law 109-162 (January 5, 2006), made further amendments to the battered spouse provisions of the INA.  The Department will now issue another interim final rule to make the changes required by the recent legislation and to provide an opportunity for notice and comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Immigrant and Nonimmigrant Religious Workers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations regarding the special immigrant and nonimmigrant religious worker visa classifications. This rule addresses concerns about the integrity of the religious worker program by proposing a petition requirement for religious organizations seeking to classify an alien as an immigrant or nonimmigrant religious worker. This rule also proposes including an on-site inspection for religious organizations to ensure the legitimacy of petitioner organizations and employment offers made by such organizations. 

This rule would also clarify several substantive and procedural issues that have arisen since the religious worker category was created. This rule proposes new definitions that describe more clearly the regulatory requirements, as well as add specific evidentiary requirements for petitioning employers and prospective religious workers.

Finally, this rule also proposes to amend how USCIS regulations reference the sunset date, the statutory deadline by which special immigrant religious workers, other than ministers, must immigrate or adjust status to permanent residence, so that regular updates to the regulations are not required each time Congress extends the sunset date.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule is needed to implement the recommendations contained in the GAO report Issues Concerning the Religious Worker Visa Program, Report GAO/NSIAD-99-67 (March 26, 1999).  Finally, USCIS wishes to make the nonimmigrant religious worker regulations consistent with the rules governing the immigrant religious worker category to the extent possible, and this rule is necessary to achieve that objective.      

The changes proposed in this rule, if implemented, would decrease the opportunity for fraud in the religious worker program.  Moreover, this rulemaking will further enhance the Departments efforts in deterring fraud and domestic security.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[While this action revises the regulations to reflect Congressional extension of this program, this action is not required in order to give effect to that extension.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[None, because the Department has agreed to implement the recommendations contained in the aforementioned GAO report. Also the risk section below provides further reasons why there are no alternatives.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Currently, there is no petition requirement for religious organizations or bona fide affiliated organizations initially seeking a nonimmigrant religious worker. The rule would add a petition requirement and DHS projects that approximately 15,637 individual organizations will seek religious workers each fiscal year. DHS estimates that there will be approximately 12,407 Form I-129 filings for the nonimmigrant religious worker, and 3,230 for the Form I-360.
    The current fees for the Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, and the Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant are $190. USCIS is proposing to modify these fees in a separate rule. USCIS already has an approved information collection for the Form I-129, OMB 1615-0009, and Form I-360, OMB 1615-0020. The rule proposes to require petitioning organizations to submit additional initial evidence related to their tax-exempt status and an attestation regarding the potential religious worker's qualifications and duties, etc. Information collection costs, therefore, are increased by these requirements, which would increase the existing information collection burden by roughly 15 minutes per respondent for the new attestation for both the Form I-129 and the Form I-360. If there are 15,637 respondents, this increases the information collection burden by approximately 3,908 hours, which at $16 per hour increases public costs by $62,528. DHS estimates that the Form I-129 will have 12,407 of the 15,637 estimates filings which would be an increase in information collection burden by approximately 3,101 hours for the attestation which at $16 per hour increases the public costs for the Form I-129 by $49,616. DHS estimates that the Form I-360 will have 3,230 of the 15,637 estimates filings (based on the FY05 filings stated earlier) which would be an increase in information collection burden by approximately 807 hours which at $16 per hour increases the public costs for the Form I-360 by 12,912. The total cost of petitioning under this proposed rule is estimated to be $6,510,103. ($5,165,373 for the Form I-129 and $1,344,730 for the Form I-360). In addition, changes in filing requirements will increase the frequency of filings for extensions or changes of status over a five-year period, increasing the total costs to the public to $6,665,503.
    In addition, several respondents are expected to pay the fee required under Internal Revenue Regulations of ($750) for obtaining a section 501(c)(3) status determination letter from that agency. Since this is a new requirement, USCIS has no data on which to base an estimate of how many will be required to resort to this course of action. Nonetheless, even assuming that all 15,637 religious worker petitions expected to be received per year are required to pay this fee, the total cost of such requests would be under $12 million. 
    Together the total cost of these proposed changes are estimated to be $18,393,253.
    The cost of the proposed rule's increased information collection is outweighed by the overall benefit to the public of an improved system for processing religious workers.
    The proposed rule is a vital tool in furthering the protection of the public by (1) more clearly defining the requirements and process by which religious workers may gain admission to the United States, and (2) increasing the ability of DHS to deter or detect fraudulent petitions and to investigate and refer matters for prosecution. The benefits of decreased fraud and increased national security tend to be intangible, thus, the benefits of such reduction in the high level of fraud in this program are difficult to quantify. On the other hand, the lack of such protections become quite tangible as soon as the lack of protections such as those proposed in this rule are manifested in the tangible economic or societal damage caused by a recipient of a fraudulent religious worker visa.
    This rule amends requirements for the special immigrant and nonimmigrant religious worker visa classifications. It will not significantly change the number of persons who immigrate to the United States based on employment-based petitions or temporarily visit based on a nonimmigrant visa petition. This rule is intended to benefit the public by clarifying definitions associated with the religious worker classifications, acceptable evidence, and specific religious worker qualification requirements. Balanced against the costs and the requirements to collect information, the burden imposed by the proposed rule appears to USCIS to be justified by the benefits.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Interest Waivers for Second Preference Employment-Based Immigrant Physicians Serving in Medically Underserved Areas or at Department of Veterans Affairs Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 29, 1999, Public Law 106-113 was enacted. Section 117 amended the Immigration and Nationality Act at section 203 to provide national interest waivers to alien physicians agreeing to practice five years in designated medically underserved areas or at Veterans Affairs facilities.  The Department of Justice issued two interim rules to amend 8 CFR parts 204 and 245 to implement the new statutory provisions and to allow applicants to begin to take advantage of the new provisions. The Department of Homeland Security now seeks to finalize the process by issuing a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department of Homeland Security, DHS, regulations relating to intercountry adoptions by U.S. citizens.  First, to facilitate the ratification of the Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, signed at The Hague on May 29, 1993 (Convention), the rule establishes new administrative procedures for the immigration of children who are habitually resident in Convention countries and who are adopted by U.S. citizens.  Second, the rule makes other amendments to DHS regulations relating to the immigration of adopted children, to reflect the changes to those provisions necessary to comply with the Convention.  The Senate consented to ratification of the Convention in 2000 conditioned on the adoption of the necessary implementing regulations.  Accordingly, this rule is necessary to establish the regulations necessary for the United States to ratify the Convention.]]></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>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[While there is no precise formula for determining anticipated costs, there will be additional costs for adjudicating applications and investigating cases deemed fraudulent. There may be applications that will not be approved for a variety of reasons, including failure to meet basic adjustment of status requirements.  All applications will be reviewed and some will require extensive investigation both here and abroad to determine whether the applicant has complied with any reasonable request for assistance in the investigation and prosecution of the acts of trafficking.

The anticipated benefits of these expenditures include:  Continued assistance to trafficked victims and their families, increased investigation and prosecution of traffickers in persons, and the elimination of abuses caused by trafficking activities.

Benefits that may be attributed to the implementation of this rule are expected to be:

(1) an increase in the number of cases brought forward for investigation and/or prosecution;
(2) heightened awareness of trafficking-in-persons issues by the law enforcement community; and
(3) enhanced ability to develop and work cases in trafficking in persons cross-organizationally and multi-jurisdictionally which may begin to influence changes in trafficking patterns.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Risks associated with the implementation of the congressionally mandated new nonimmigrant classification include:  increased workload for adjudicators which may impact overall efficiency and productivity; and increases in fraudulent applications/claims of such victimization in order to obtain lawful permanent residence.]]></RISKS>

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 interim rule codifies the Secretary of Homeland Security's current discretionary authority, as delegated to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) directors, to manage the caseload of pending requests for immigration benefits in districts or regions over which the directors have jurisdiction.  A component of this case management authority is the ability to withhold adjudication of any pending application or petition, particularly when an investigation is ongoing and background and security checks are still pending completion.  This interim rule expands the circumstances under which DHS may withhold adjudication or toll any applicable regulatory deadline for completion of adjudication of an application or petition.  This interim rule also modifies the regulations governing processing of naturalization applications to define when a naturalization examination will be deemed "conducted" for purposes of seeking administrative or judicial review under section 336 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act).  The interim rule also requires that background and security checks be completed to the satisfaction of the Secretary before an alien may be found to have "good moral character" for naturalization and before the alien may be naturalized in accordance with title III of the Act.  These changes will aid DHS in its efforts to improve case adjudication overall while simultaneously ensuring that no immigration or naturalization benefit is granted until any pending investigation or required background and security check is completed to the satisfaction of the Secretary.  These changes also will ensure that no immigration benefit is provided to an ineligible individual or person who may pose a threat to public safety or national security.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule proposes to amend the Department's regulations by establishing the Genealogy Program to process requests for historical records. The Department's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Agency will charge a fee to recover the cost of searching, locating, retrieving, copying, reviewing, and mailing these records to the requester. The Genealogy Program is necessary to provide a more timely response to requests for genealogical and historical records.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 208(d)(5)(B), Authority to Apply for Asylum, under the Immigration and Nationality Act, gives the Secretary the authority to provide by regulation any conditions in consideration of an asylum application.  Current regulations require the asylum applicant to bring their interpreter to the asylum interview if the applicant is unable to speak English.  This proposed rule would change that condition by requiring USCIS to provide interpreter services for applicants unable to speak English.  This rule is necessary to help prevent misunderstanding of genuine asylum seekers' claims due to poor translation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changing the Period of Time From 30 to 45 Days That a Student With an F-1 Visa May Be Admitted Before Academic Program Start Date</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is amending its regulations to extend the amount of time a student with an F-1 visa may be admitted to the United States before beginning an academic program.  Currently, F-1 visa holders may be admitted for a period up to 30 days before the report date or program start date.  This rule will change the period of time F-1 visa holders may be admitted to 45 days before the report date or program start date.  This change will allow earlier admission of students, which will provide students additional time to better prepare for the academic year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) regulations to: (1) Remove the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) organizational structure from regulations since INS no longer exists; and (2) Eliminate from USCIS regulations all references to filing locations so that USCIS may provide such information on petition and application forms and through any other means. This rule will eliminate confusion and obsolete references from USCIS regulations and help the public determine where to file forms with USCIS.  It will also result in a more efficient and streamlined process for USCIS to make future changes to filing instructions, allowing the Agency to better manage its workload.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Requirements Affecting H-2A Nonimmigrants </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is amending the regulations affecting temporary and seasonal agricultural workers within the H-2A nonimmigrant category and their U.S. employers.  The rule relaxes the current limitations on the ability of U.S. employers to petition unnamed agricultural workers to come to the United States and makes related changes to the evidentiary requirements for such petitions.  In addition, the rule revises the current limitations on agricultural workers length of stay, including:  redefining temporary employment; lengthening the amount of time an agricultural worker may remain in the United States after their H-2A nonimmigrant status has expired; and shortening the time period that an agricultural worker whose H-2A nonimmigrant status has expired must wait before he or she is eligible to obtain H-2A nonimmigrant status again.  Finally, this rule provides for temporary employment authorization to agricultural workers seeking an extension of their H-2A nonimmigrant status through a different U.S. employer.  These changes are necessary to encourage and facilitate the lawful employment of foreign agricultural workers.]]></ABSTRACT>

1.  Crops will be more likely to be harvested, cows milked, etc.  This will result in associated economic benefits that are not quantified at this point. 
2.  By increasing flexibility, the quality of life for H-2A immigrants will improve. 
3.  Illegal immigration as measured by the percentage of agricultural workers who are unauthorized to work in the United States will decline.

        <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" 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 Department of Justice published an interim final rule on September 6, 1996, which amended then-INS 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.  DHS now plans to issue a final rule to complete the rulemaking action.]]></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 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 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. That authority was delegated to the Secretary of Homeland Security under the Homeland Security Act. 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 DHS regulations by removing language that erroneously implies that DHS requires a sponsorship agreement and guaranty of transportation prior to determining whether an applicant is a refugee. This rule is necessary to clarify issues 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 Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) to deter aliens from marrying solely to obtain immigration benefits. IMFA established a conditional resident status for aliens who obtained lawful permanent resident status based upon a marriage of less than 2 years duration. The interim rule published on May 16, 1991, established procedures to allow a conditional resident who married in good faith but whose marriage was terminated by the United States citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse to seek a waiver of the joint filing requirement. The interim rule 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 final 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>

        <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 Department of Homeland Security regulations that govern 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 membership in a particular social group, the requirements for failure of State protection, and determinations about whether persecution is inflicted on account of a protected ground.  This rule codifies long-standing concepts of the definitions. 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 under certain circumstances be eligible for asylum on that basis. The Department of Justice believed that this issue required further examination after the Board of Immigration Appeals decision, Matter of R-A-, Interim Decision 3403 (BIA 1999) and published a proposed rule.  Additionally, the rule clarifies the factors considered in cases in the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit regarding membership in a particular social group are not determinative.   

Hence, USCIS will publish a final rule which incorporates provisions contained in both an interim rule amending Department of Justice regulations to implement the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, (62 FR 10312-1997), and the proposed past persecution rule, Executive Office for Immigration Review; New Rules Regarding Procedures for Asylum and Withholding of Removal (63 FR 31945-1998).]]></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>

This rule also clarifies that for e-filed petitions and applications, the 15 business day processing period begins when U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services receives the initial required supporting documentation to adjudicate the case at the Service Center with jurisdiction over that case.  This interim rule also addresses public comments received in connection with the first interim rule.]]></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 Immigration and Nationality Act (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 INA 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 INA, 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 INA 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1102 of the LIFE Act of 2000 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a new nonimmigrant classification V for the spouses and children of lawful permanent residents awaiting the availability of an immigrant visa number in the appropriate preference category in accordance with the State Department's monthly Visa Bulletin. Eligible spouses and children of lawful permanent residents residing abroad that obtain the V nonimmigrant visa from the Department of State may work and reside in the United States on the basis of the V classification until they can apply for adjustment of status to that of lawful permanent resident. Certain eligible spouses and children of lawful permanent residents already present in the United States may be granted V classification until they can apply to adjust status to that of lawful permanent resident. This rule sets forth eligibility criteria and procedures for obtaining the V visa classification and related employment authorization.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Age Out Protections Afforded Under the Child Status Protection Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 6, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), Public Law 107-208, 116 Stat. 927.  The CSPA amends the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) by permitting an applicant for certain benefits to retain classification as a child under the Act, even if he or she has reached the age of 21 years.  The CSPA also addresses automatic conversions for certain aliens classified as unmarried sons or daughters of lawful permanent residents (LPRs).  This proposed rule codifies the Department of Homeland Securitys (DHS's) application of the provisions of the CSPA by amending the relevant DHS regulations.  
 
The CSPA has generated litigation and much confusion among the public.  While USCIS has worked tirelessly to communicate a coherent CSPA policy by way of guidance to the field, courts have consistently noted the absence of regulations addressing the issues raised by CSPA.  If USCIS is to enjoy deference by the courts it must publish regulations codifying its interpretation of the CSPA before the issues are decided in binding court decisions.  Moreover, USCIS receives numerous comments and questions from the public regarding the CSPA, which the publication of a proposed rule will bring to bear on the actual rulemaking process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Eliminating the Numerical Cap on Mexican TN Nonimmigrants</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule amends Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations governing registration of aliens under sections 262 and 264 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act).  The rule, which codifies existing DHS practices, provides that DHS will issue alien registration documents only once all appropriate background and security checks have been completed to the satisfaction of the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary).  This interim rule establishes time frames, under certain circumstances, for the issuance of such registration documentation and procedures for delaying the issuance of such documentation when DHS determines that the alien may pose a risk to national security or public safety.]]></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 filing 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 rule amends Department of Homeland Security regulations to extend the deadline by which certain health care workers from Canada and Mexico must obtain health care worker certifications. This rule applies only to affected health care workers, who, before September 23, 2003, were previously employed as TN nonimmigrant health care workers (Canadian or Mexican citizens), and held a valid license from a U.S. jurisdiction. This interim rule does not change the licensing requirements for employment purposes. Publication of this rule ensures that the U.S. health care system is not adversely affected by the expiration of the transition period for certain health care workers to present the required certification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application Process for Replacing Forms I-551 Without an Expiration Date</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issues Alien Registration Receipt Cards (I-551) to lawful permanent residents to serve as evidence of immigration status, registration, identity and employment authorization, and as an entry document upon return from a trip outside the United States.  Currently there is a population of lawful permanent residents who possess cards that do not have expiration dates.  USCIS will be terminating the validity of Forms I-551 that do not have expiration dates.  This rule establishes a 120-day period for aliens with Forms I-551 that do not bear expiration dates to apply for replacement cards.  This rule also amends the regulations to remove references to outdated application procedures for the I-551.  The application process required by this rule will enable USCIS to issue more secure Forms I-551 to affected aliens, update cardholder information, conduct background checks, and electronically store applicants' biometric information that can be used for biometric comparison and authentication purposes consistent with the goals of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002.

In addition, this rule establishes the mechanism by which USCIS will notify the public of the termination date for forms I-551 that do not have expiration dates.  This rule also amends the regulations to add two documents to the list of forms that constitute evidence of registration: Receipt for the Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, and Receipt for pending Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.  Finally, this rule amends the regulations to correct the title and edition date of form I-551 and Form I-90.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Irish Peace Process Cultural and Training Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Irish Peace Process Cultural and Training Program (IPPCTP) allows young people from Northern Ireland and certain designated counties in the Republic of Ireland to come to the United States temporarily for training, for employment, and to experience coexistence and conflict resolution in a diverse society. On December 10, 2004, legislation, amending and extending the Irish Peace Process Cultural and Training Program Act of 1998, was signed into law.  This rule implements certain changes made by this legislation.  Other technical and administrative changes have been made to correct or clarify certain sections that were in the initial interim rule published in the Federal Register on March 17, 2000, at 65 FR 14774 that implemented this program.  This rule also addresses public comments received following the publication of the initial interim rule. Finally, some elements in the initial interim rule that were specifically related to program requirements, such as eligibility criteria for participation, have been removed and are in a separate Department of State (DOS) program rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A foreign residence requirement is a period of time that certain nonimmigrants are required to remain outside the United States in their home country or place of last habitual residence for a definite period of time until they are allowed to reenter the United States or apply for other U.S. immigration benefits. This proposed rule would amend the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations to impose a foreign residence requirement on certain participants of the Irish Peace Process Cultural and Training Program (IPPCTP).  This requirement is necessary to ensure that participants return home to apply the skills they received by participating in the IPPCTP toward the economic regeneration of their region.  This rule would also implement the use of the Form I-928 to adjudicate requests from the affected participants to waive the foreign residence requirement on certain grounds.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is proposing to amend its regulations concerning employment-based immigrant status.  Under the current regulations, published at 67 FR 49561, employers may file a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (I-485) concurrently with Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (immigrant petition), while the immigrant petition is pending; or after the immigrant petition has been approved, as long as a visa number is immediately available to the alien. The Department is considering modifying the current system to disallow concurrent I-140 and I-485 filings and instead mandate that an alien worker applying for adjustment of status and be the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition prior to filing the adjustment application.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations governing the adjudication of petitions for the spouses and children of refugees and asylees to join the principal refugee or asylee.  These changes are intended to eliminate vulnerabilities in the current system by enabling DHS to examine the eligibility of beneficiaries and create a mechanism to suspend the petition while DHS seeks to verify the validity of the petitioners underlying grant of asylum or refugee admission.  The rule proposes to allocate jurisdiction over derivative asylum claims among U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review, and to clarify the distinction between approval of the petition and conveyance of status upon the beneficiary. The rule also proposes to amend the regulations to reflect changes in derivative eligibility following enactment of the Child Status Protection Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Classification of Adopted Aliens as Children of United States Citizens Based on Adoptions That Are Not Governed by the Hague Convention
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations relating to intercountry adoptions in cases that are not governed by the Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, signed at The Hague on May 29, 1993 (Convention).  First, the rule proposes amendments to the rules governing adoption cases under section 101(b)(1)(E) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act).  Second, it also proposes amendments to the rules governing the immigration of alien orphans under section 101(b)(1)(F) of the Act.  These amendments are needed to clarify the rules for both case types, and to incorporate into the regulations recent statutory amendments.  For the orphan cases, these amendments will also improve the ability to assure the protection of the best interests of alien orphans whose adoption is sought by U.S. citizens.]]></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 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>Removal of Standardized Request for Evidence Processing Timeframe</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend Department of Homeland Security regulations by removing the absolute requirement for, and the fixed regulatory time limitations on responses to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued Request for Evidence (RFE) or Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). These changes will enable USCIS to set an appropriate deadline for responding to an RFE or NOID, specific to the type of case, benefit category, or classification, and thus improve the process of adjudication of applications and petitions by reducing the time a case is held awaiting evidence, and by reducing average case processing time. This rule will result in improved efficiency in the USCIS adjudication process.

In addition, this rule includes certain organizational changes necessitated by the implementation of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296. This rule also removes obsolete regulatory language related to the Replenishment Agricultural Worker (RAW) program under section 210A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act), which was repealed by section 219(ee)(1) of the Immigration and Technical Corrections Act of 1994, Public Law 103-416. The rule further removes references to the use of qualified designated entities for filing of applications for adjustment of status in the Seasonal Agricultural Workers (SAW) and legalization programs under section 210 and 245A of the Act. By including the organizational changes, the rule will also assist the public in understanding the delegation of authority for adjudicating cases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adding a Filing Fee for Re-Registration and Extension of Temporary Protected Status</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend and clarify Department of Homeland Security regulations to require each Temporary Protected Status (TPS) initial registrant and re-registrant to submit to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS): 1) Her/his biometrics at an Application Support Center (ASC); 2) a $180 filing fee or fee waiver request with Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, when requesting an Employment Authorization Document (EAD); and 3) a $70 biometric services fee.  For TPS registrants and re-registrants who are under 14 years of age, this rule only imposes these requirements where an EAD is requested. This proposed rule would also clarify  current regulations governing registration and imposes a new requirement that each TPS re-registrant submit a filing fee or a fee waiver request with Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to adjust the immigration benefit application and petition fees of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account (IEFA), and the biometric fee for applicants/petitioners who apply for certain immigration benefits for fiscal years (FY) 2008 and FY 2009 biennial period.  Fees collected from persons filing these benefits are deposited into the IEFA and used to fund the full cost of processing immigration benefit applications/petitions, biometric services, associated support services, and the cost of providing similar services to asylum and refugee applicants and other immigrants, at no charge.  The fees that fund the IEFA were last updated on October 26, 2005, solely to reflect an increase in costs due to inflation.  The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducted a comprehensive review of the resources and activities funded by the IEFA and have determined that the current fees do not reflect current processes and do not recover the full costs of services.  This rule proposes to adjust the immigration benefit application and petition fee schedule and increases the biometric fee in order to ensure sufficient funding to process incoming applications/petitions and biometric services while ensuring national security, enhancing customer service, and maintaining standard processing time goals in fiscal years 2008 and 2009.  Without the additional fee revenues, USCIS would be forced to enact significant spending reductions resulting in a reversal of the considerable progress it has made over last several years to reduce the backlog of immigration benefit applications and petitions.  If such reductions are necessary, USCIS will not curb any security-related activities in an effort to remain solvent.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule removes the requirement that a nonimmigrant who is eligible for H-1B/H-4 or L-1/L-2 status, who is in possession of a valid H-1/H-4 or L-1/L-2 visa, who has a pending application for adjustment of status, and who seeks to be admitted to the United States without advance parole, must present an I-797 (Notice of Action) receipt notice for the application for adjustment of status in order to avoid having such application deemed abandoned.  The intent of this narrow change, eliminating the requirement of presenting an I-797 receipt notice, is to remove unnecessary documentation requirements from the regulations and streamline entry clearance procedures for certain adjustment of status applicants who travel abroad.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Classification for Victims of Criminal Activity; Eligibility for U Nonimmigrant Status; Correction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document contains corrections to the interim rule published in the Federal Register of September 17, 2007.  The rule established the requirements and procedures for aliens seeking U nonimmigrant status.  The rule as published (72 FR 53014) contained an ambiguity between the Supplementary Information and the regulatory text concerning fee information.  Due to clerical errors, sections of the supplementary information made reference to payment of a filing fee for Form I-918, Petition for U Nonimmigrant Status, and for derivative U nonimmigrant status for qualifying family members, yet also stated that no filing fee would be required.  The regulatory text itself contained an amendment to 8 CFR 103.7(b)(1) to reflect that USCIS would charge a filing fee for Form I-918 for both principal petitioners and derivative qualifying family members.   USCIS is issuing this correcting amendment to clarify that no fee will be charged for filing Form I-918 or Form I-918, Supplement A for derivative U nonimmigrant status for qualifying family members.  Petitioners must, however, submit the established fee for biometric services for each person ages 14 through 79 inclusive with each U nonimmigrant status petition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Claims Procedures Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (USCG-2004-17697)</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. An interim rule was published in 1992, and provides the basic 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 includes 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 this 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.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), at 33 U.S.C. 2713(e), requires regulations for the presentation, filing, processing, settlement, and adjudication of claims for reimbursement of uncompensated oil removal costs and damages by the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.  On August 12, 1992, the Coast Guard published an interim rule with request for comments, at 33 CFR part 136, entitled Claims Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (57 FR 36314).  The provisions in this rulemaking would address public comment on the interim rRule and assist claimants in their preparation of a complete OPA 90 claim.  We believe that without this regulation there would be inadequate or asymmetric information available to OPA 90 claimants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the 1995 Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) for Seafarers, 1978 (USCG-2004-17914)</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 those amendments 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. In addition, the Coast Guard has identified the need for additional changes to the interim rule issued in 1997.  This rulemaking has been amended to address the training and assessments necessary to obtain merchant mariner credentials, to propose streamlined regulations for the mariner credential issuance process, and to make several minor editorial and clarification changes throughout title 46 parts 10, 12 and 15. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety. It also supports the goal of the Prevention Directorate by reducing deaths and injuries of crew members on domestic merchant vessels and eliminating substandard vessels from the navigable waters of the United States.
Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The IMO adopted amendments to the international convention on STCW in 1995.  In 1997, we modified the regulations to implement these amendments.  Since then, however, we found that more specificity is needed in the STCW regulations.  The need for additional clarification resulted in the issuance of several policy guidelines over the past 10 years detailing mariner and training provider compliance to the STCW regulations.  This regulatory action proposes to add the specificity from these guidelines, to close other regulatory gaps, and to propose some additional changes to the STCW regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations to implement changes to its interim rule published on June 26, 1997.  These proposed amendments go beyond changes found in the interim rule and seek to more fully incorporate the requirements of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW) in the requirements for the credentialing of United States merchant mariners.  The new changes are primarily substantive and:  (1) Are necessary to continue to give full and complete effect to the STCW Convention; (2) Incorporate lessons learned from implementation of the STCW through the interim rule and through policy letters and NVICs; (3) Attempt to clarify regulations that have generated confusion among USCG offices and industry; and (4) Incorporate security-related requirements to ensure compliance with the 2006 amendments to the STCW Convention.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The authority for the Coast Guard to prescribe, change, revise or amend these regulations is provided under 46 U.S.C. 2103 and 46 U.S.C. Chapters 71 and 73; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[For each proposed change, the Coast Guard has considered various alternatives.  We considered using policy statements, but they are not enforceable.  We also considered taking no action, but this does not support the Coast Guards fundamental safety and security mission. Additionally, we considered comments made during our 1997  rulemaking to formulate our alternatives.  When we analyzed issues, such as license progression and tonnage equivalency, the alternatives chosen were those that most closely met the requirements of STCW.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Based on preliminary analysis, the first-year (initial) costs of this rulemaking are $21.5 million or $22.3 million at three or seven percent discount rates, respectively.  The annual costs of this rulemaking after the first year range between $8.3 million and $15.4 million, depending upon the year and the discount rate.  These cost estimates may change through further development of the rulemaking and after consideration of public comments.  The primary benefit of this rulemaking is to specify seafarer training.  There are no preliminary quantifiable benefit estimates for this rulemaking.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The ultimate goal of the regulation is to increase safety and facilitate consistency of the United States regulations with International Maritime Organization guidelines and requirements.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Diving Operations (USCG-1998-3786) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project involves reviewing and updating the commercial diving regulations, which were first adopted in 1977. 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.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Currently, the commercial diving industry remains one of the most hazardous occupations in the United States.  Many commercial diving companies do not meet basic diving safety standards as outlined by ADCI or other consensus standards.  Without regulatory action, not all individual owners of commercial diving companies will voluntarily invest in improved safety due to the inability to internalize the benefit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for Living Organisms in Ships&apos; Ballast Water Discharged in U.S. Waters (USCG-2001-10486)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would add a performance standard to 33 CFR part 151, subpart D, for all ballast water management methods being used as alternatives to mid-ocean ballast water exchange. It supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of marine safety and protection of natural resources. This project is significant due to high interest from Congress and several Federal and State agencies.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  There exists the potential introduction of new viable invasive species populations into U.S. waters. Commercial users of U.S. waterways (i.e., owners and operators of vessels) will not voluntarily install costly ballast water treatment systems to reduce the introduction of invasive species. We anticipate affected owners and operators cannot internalize the benefits of developing and testing such systems (e.g., receive a positive return on investment or benefit by increasing profits).  Without regulation, we do not expect industry to incur the costs to develop, install, and maintain approved technology that can achieve effective ballast water discharge standards.]]></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: (1) The administrative adjudication rules against merchant mariners' licenses, certificates of registry, and documents; (2) 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. It would also align our rules with the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Coast Guard is updating its rules of procedure in these areas to conform to statutory requirements and improve administrative due process. The justification of the regulation is improved functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Changes to Numbering of Vessels and Reporting of Casualties (USCG-2003-14963)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Coast Guard's rules on States' numbering of undocumented vessels and on the reporting of accidents.  It would harmonize terminology governing the Standard Numbering System, the Vessel Identification System, and the Casualty or Accident Reporting System to help us collect better data, process it more efficiently, and use it more effectively to prevent boating accidents.  This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and maritime security.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Currently there is the potential for confusion due to a lack of standardization among the three systems involved.  This rulemaking would improve the accuracy of data collected and improve the interoperability among these systems. The justification for the regulation is improved functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Fishing Industry Vessels (USCG-2003-16158)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend commercial fishing industry vessel requirements to enhance maritime safety.  The proposed changes would affect vessel stability and watertight integrity, carriage of immersion suits, training, compliance documentation, and safety equipment.
Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Currently, the commercial fishing industry remains one of the most hazardous occupations in the United States.  Many commercial fishing vessels do not meet suggested stability requirements or maintain adequate safety training and equipment.  Without regulatory action, not all individual owners of commercial fishing vessels will voluntarily invest in improved safety due to the short run uncertainty of individual benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Commercial fishing remains one of the most dangerous industries in America. The Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act of 1988 ("the Act," codified in 46 U.S.C. chapter 45) gives the Coast Guard regulatory authority to improve the safety of vessels operating in that industry. Although significant reductions in industry deaths were recorded after the Coast Guard issued its initial rules under the Act in 1991, we believe more deaths and serious injury can be avoided through compliance with new regulations in the following areas: vessel stability and watertight integrity, vessel maintenance and safety equipment including crew immersion suits, crew training and drills, and improved documentation of regulatory compliance.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The authority for the Coast Guard to prescribe, change, revise or amend these regulations is provided under 46 U.S.C. 4502, 4505, 4506, 6104, 10603; Department of Homeland Security Delegation 0170.1.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Coast Guard considered the following alternatives and rejected them for the reasons indicated:
Maintaining the regulatory status quo -- rejected because we believe additional regulations will have a favorable impact in reducing industry deaths;
Requiring the licensing of commercial fishermen and mandating the inspection of all industry vessels -- rejected because of the probable expense such measures would entail; 

Requiring vessel operators and crew members to carry certificates issued upon completion of training -- rejected because of questionable legal authority, probable high cost, and probable adverse impact on industry labor supply; and
Relying on voluntary compliance with Coast Guard guidance  rejected because too few vessels voluntarily comply with existing Coast Guard guidance.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule is economically significant with the preliminary first-year cost estimate of approximately $107.9 million or $112.1 million at three or seven percent discount rates, respectively.  The preliminary annual costs of this rulemaking after the first year range between $25.6 million and $47.9 million, depending upon the year and the discount rate.  These cost estimates may change through further development of the rulemaking and after consideration of public comments.  The primary benefit of this rulemaking is improved safety of commercial fishing vessels.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Commercial fishing continues to rank at or near the top of the most hazardous occupations in the United States. It involves far more casualties than other maritime commercial activities regulated by the Coast Guard, resulting in a significant proportion of the agencys Search and Rescue and marine casualty investigation activities. Commercial fishing industry casualties usually result from the complex interplay of many factors, and accident reconstruction to determine the exact cause of a casualty is usually impossible in the marine environment. Although it is therefore difficult or impossible to prove a causal connection between our previous issuance of regulations affecting this industry and the subsequent decrease in the number of industry deaths, we believe those regulations contributed materially to creating a culture of safety in which the prevention of casualties is more likely to occur. Because we know that a vessels stability, watertight integrity, and overall condition can be critical factors in preventing a casualty, and that safety equipment and the crews ability to use that equipment can be critical to surviving a casualty, we believe that additional regulations in those areas will strengthen the culture of safety and result in further safety gains.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Navigation Equipment; SOLAS Chapter V Amendments and Electronic Chart System (USCG-2004-19588)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking project would add new, and clarify existing, navigation safety equipment regulations in 33 CFR part 164 including electronic chart system regulations. This project would also create a new 46 CFR part 165, and a new subpart: 46 CFR part 159, subpart 159.008. These new title 46 regulations would provide for specific type-approval procedures and quality assurance processes, respectively, to require uniform function and capability of equipment across a myriad of manufacturers. These changes would reconcile existing domestic safety of navigation regulations with SOLAS Chapter V navigation safety regulations amended in 2000. By making these revisions to 33 CFR and 46 CFR, we would fulfill the United States obligations as an International Maritime Organization Contracting Government to implement SOLAS Chapter V as amended for U.S. flag vessels and other vessels operating on navigable waters of the United States. This project supports the Coast Guards strategic goals of maritime safety and mobility.
Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The commercial vessel industry does not have uniform, nationwide carriage requirements for navigational equipment.  The NPRM would require certain domestic vessels, based on tonnage thresholds, to have navigational equipment consistent with the requirements in SOLAS Chapter V for vessels that transit beyond the baseline.  This provision of the NPRM affects a very small population of domestic vessels.  This is an effort to close the regulatory gap between what is currently required for domestic vessels and the requirements contained in SOLAS V in order to harmonize U.S. standards with international standards.  ECS is required, as a congressional mandate, for essentially the same vessel population as AIS.  This provision applies to both U.S. and foreign vessels that transit U.S. waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The United States is a contracting government to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1978 (SOLAS) and, thus, has an obligation to incorporate SOLAS regulations into domestic regulations for vessels subject to SOLAS.  The navigation safety regulations in SOLAS Chapter V were revised in 2000.  Since 2000, the Coast Guard has been ensuring U.S. vessels on an international voyage comply with SOLAS primarily through our inspection process and policy decisions to minimize the potential that a U.S. vessel would be delayed or face penalties in a foreign port for non-compliance.  In this rulemaking, we are also proposing regulations for electronic charts to meet Congress mandate in section 410 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004 (the Act), which amended the Ports and Waterways Safety Act and added section 1223a to Title 33 of the U.S. Code.  Regulations for electronic charts and the systems that are used to display them are needed to foster continual improvement in the tools that provide situational awareness for mariners navigating in U.S. waters.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The authority for the Coast Guard to prescribe, change, revise or amend these regulations is provided in 33 U.S.C. 1223(a)(3) and 1231; 46 U.S.C. 3306(a)(1) and 3703; Pub. Law 108-293, Section 410; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Our goals through this rulemaking are to harmonize domestic regulations with international standards and, thereby, promote navigation safety and ensure that U.S. vessels visiting foreign ports are not subjected to scrutiny and possible penalties for being non-compliant.  We considered the scope of the 2000 SOLAS Chapter V amendments and the latitude granted contracting governments with respect to application of Chapter V provisions to vessels operating landward of the baseline.  We determined that existing regulations for navigation equipment are sufficient for these vessels.  We also considered continuing to grant approvals for navigation equipment through the existing policy structure instead of regulations in Title 46 CFR.  In this case, we determined that publishing regulations for equipment approvals is critical to maintaining oversight, quality control, and enforceability.  

With regard to electronic charts, we considered the latitude granted by Congress to determine which vessels, other than those specified in the Act, would be required to install and operate electronic charts.  We considered adopting the same applicability for automatic identification systems (AIS) and electronic chart systems (ECS) because the two interact in a beneficial and synergistic manner, but determined there was a need for different treatment because ECS and AIS have different purposes.  For example, the utility of AIS may be greater than the utility of an ECS for a vessel or platform that is primarily stationary.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The initial cost estimate is $3.1 million or $3.2 million in the first year and $70.9 million or $76.6 million in the second year at three or seven percent discount rates, respectively.  The annual costs after the first two years of implementation range between $9.0 million and $13.3 million, depending upon the year and the discount rate. These estimates are based on technology that is currently available for ECS.  These estimates may change through further development of the rulemaking and after consideration of public comments.  The primary benefit of this NPRM is navigational and situational awareness.  There are no preliminary quantifiable benefit estimates for this rulemaking.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[By implementing SOLAS Chapter V amendments and the electronic charts provisions of the Maritime Transportation Act of 2004, navigation equipment requirements will be further standardized and improved as the Coast Guard fulfills these international and Congressional mandates.  Consequently, we expect some reduction in the risks of loss of life and property associated with navigation safety errors, and a reduction in the risk of sanctions being imposed by foreign governments against visiting-U.S. vessels for non-compliance with SOLAS.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Notification of Arrival in U.S. Ports; Certain Dangerous Cargoes; Electronic Submission (USCG-2004-19963)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking project would permanently revise the Notice of Arrival (NOA) regulation, 33 CFR part 160, subpart C, by: 1) Adding to the list of certain dangerous cargo (CDC) ammonium nitrate and certain ammonium nitrate-based fertilizers, in bulk, as well as propylene oxide, alone or mixed with ethylene oxide, in bulk; and 2) adding two options for vessels to submit NOAs electronically. In addition, the proposed rule would clarify that foreign, but not U.S., recreational vessels must submit NOAs. This rulemaking would also permanently revise 33 CFR parts 104 and 105 as necessary. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety, maritime security, and protection of natural resources.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  This rulemaking clarifies that certain chemicals would no longer be classified as CDC if found in residual amounts after cargo has been transferred.  The justification for the regulation is the improved functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Financial Responsibility for Water Pollution (Vessels) and Limits of Liability</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation would amend the "Financial Responsibility for Water Pollution (Vessels)" regulations to reflect the amended limits of liability resulting from enactment of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006.  This regulation would support the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of natural resources.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Oil Pollution Act of 1990, at 33 U.S.C. 2716(a), requires regulations to implement the requirement for certain vessels to establish and maintain evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet or exceed the limits of liability found in 33 U.S.C. 2704(a) (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 2704(d)(4)).  This rulemaking adjusts the financial responsibility applicable amounts to coincide with amended limits of liability resulting from enactment of the Delaware River Protection Act of 2006, increases certificate of financial responsibility (COFR) fees to vessel responsible parties, and removes an antiquated documentation carriage requirement.  Without this regulation, we do not expect responsible parties to voluntarily internalize the costs associated with the amended statutory limits of liability.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Requirements for Notices of Arrival and Departure, and Automatic Identification System (USCG-2005-21869)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would expand the applicability for Notice of Arrival and Departure (NOAD) and Automatic Identification System (AIS) requirements.  These expanded requirements would better enable the Coast Guard to correlate vessel AIS data with NOAD data, enhance our ability to identify and track vessels, detect anomalies, improve navigation safety, and heighten our overall maritime domain awareness.  
The NOAD portion of this rulemaking would expand the applicability of the NOAD regulations by changing the minimum size of vessels covered below the current 300 gross tons, require that a notice of departure be submitted for all vessels required to submit a notice of arrival, and mandate electronic submission of NOAD notices to the National Vessel Movement Center.  The AIS portion of this rulemaking will expand current AIS carriage requirements for the population identified in the Marine Transportation Security Act of 2002.
Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis: The NOAD and AIS portions of the NPRM would attempt to close regulatory gaps by having smaller vessels submit NODs as well as NOAs and to do this electronically.  AIS would help to track and identify the affected vessels (including enhancing situational awareness) and provide synergy with the NOAD portion of this rulemaking.  The mandate for AIS is provided by the MTSA 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

The lack of NOA information on this large and diverse population of vessels represents a substantial gap in our maritime domain awareness (MDA).  We can minimize this gap and enhance MDA by expanding the applicability of the NOAD regulation beyond vessels greater than 300 GT, cover all foreign commercial vessels and all U.S. commercial vessels coming from a foreign port; and enhance maritime domain awareness by tracking them (and others) with AIS.  There is no current Coast Guard requirement for vessels to submit notification of departure information.  This information is necessary in order to expand our MDA.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rulemaking is based on congressional authority provided in the Ports and Waterways Safety Act and the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Our goal is to increase MDA and to identify anomalies by correlating vessel AIS data with NOAD data.  NOAD and AIS information from a greater number of vessels would provide even greater MDA than the proposed rule.  We considered expanding NOAD and AIS to even more vessels, but we determined we needed additional legislative authority to expand AIS beyond what we propose in this rulemaking; and that it was best to combine additional NOAD expansion with future AIS expansion.

Although not in conjunction with a proposed rule, the Coast Guard sought comment regarding expansion of AIS carriage to other waters and other vessels not subject to the current requirements (68 FR 39355-56, and 39370, July 1, 2003; USCG 2003-14878).  Those comments were reviewed and considered in drafting this rule and will become part of this docket.

To fulfill our agency obligations, the Coast Guard needs to receive AIS reports and NOADs from vessels identified in this rulemaking that currently are not required to provide this information.  Policy or other non-binding statements by the Coast Guard addressed to the owners of these vessels would not produce the information required to sufficiently enhance our MDA to produce the information required to fulfill our Agency obligations.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The cost estimate in the first year of implementation is $20.6 million rounded at either seven or three percent discount rates.  The cost estimate in the second year of implementation is $74.9 million or $78.0 million at seven or three percent discount rates, respectively.  The annual costs after the first two years of implementation range between $6.7 million and $54.5 million, depending upon the year (of replacement) and the discount rate. These estimates are based in part on available technology.  The primary benefit of this proposed rule is to enhance maritime security and safety through navigational and situational awareness.  Based on analysis of past marine casualties and potential avoided injuries, the average annual quantifiable benefit from this rulemaking is approximately $1.5 million (non-discounted).  We also estimated there to be additional barrels of oil not spilled by this rulemaking.  These estimates may change through further development of the rulemaking and after consideration of public comments.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Considering the economic utility of U.S. ports, waterways, and coastal approaches, it is clear that a terrorist incident against our U.S. Maritime Transportation System (MTS) would have a disastrous impact on global shipping, international trade, and the world economy.  By improving the ability of the Coast Guard both to identify potential terrorists coming to the United States while their vessel is far at sea and to coordinate appropriate responses and intercepts before the vessel reaches a U.S. port, this rulemaking would contribute significantly to the expansion of MDA, and consequently is instrumental in addressing the threat posed by terrorist actions against the MTS.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Long Range Identification and Tracking of Ships (USCG-2005-22612)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require, consistent with international law, certain vessels to report identifying and position data electronically.  The requirements would better enable the Coast Guard to correlate Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) data with data from other sources, detect anomalies, and heighten our overall Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA).  This rulemaking will implement an International Maritime Organization amendment to chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).  This project is consistent with the Coast Guards strategic goal of maritime security, maritime safety, and the Department's strategic goals of awareness, prevention, protection, and response.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Cargo vessels 300 gross tons or more, passenger vessels that carry more than 12 passengers and MODUs that transit within 1,000 nm of the U.S. (including vessels on an innocent passage) would be required to submit the electronic position of the vessel through existing onboard equipment.  This is an effort to track vessels that may or may not call on a U.S. port as authorized under the MTSA 2002.  These security regulations address the under-provision of security since operators cannot capture the full marginal social benefits of security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vapor Control Systems (USCG-1999-5150)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project will revise the facility marine vapor control systems (VCS) safety regulations and the vessel VCS safety regulations.  These existing regulations require revision to reflect new Federal and State air emissions control requirements, VCS technology developments, and to evaluate and minimize any significant economic impacts of the rules upon small entities.  The revisions will also incorporate Coast Guard policies and guidelines developed to support the existing regulations and a Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular which provides safety guidelines for the design and operation of a marine VCS at tank barge cleaning facilities.  This project supports the Coast Guard Marine Safety and Environmental Protection Program's goal to reduce crewmember deaths and injuries on U.S. commercial vessels, seeks to reduce the amount of oil and chemicals discharged into the Nation's waterways, and promotes the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The existing regulations require revision to reflect recent changes in technology and Federal and State air emissions requirements. In general, regulation is needed because the benefits of enhanced maritime safety are diffuse, while the cost of acceptably safe operation of a VCS would be borne by industry. Industry would not voluntarily operate their VCS in such a way as to provide the socially desired level of maritime safety (i.e., individual benefits less than marginal social benefits).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Carbon Dioxide Fire Suppression Systems on Commercial Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to amend the current regulations for carbon dioxide fire suppression systems on commercial vessels. The proposal would amend existing regulations to clarify that approved alternatives to carbon dioxide systems may be used, add new regulations to set general parameters for those approved alternatives, and add a new requirement for lockout valves in manned spaces using carbon dioxide systems.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Carbon dioxide fire suppression systems are cheap and effective but pose a risk in occupied spaces.  Current CG regulations lead industry to believe that alternatives to CO2 are not approved.  Clarifying alternatives to carbon dioxide and mandating a lockout valve for occupied spaces would reduce the risk of casualties and provide flexibility for vessel owners.  The justification is the improved functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Training and Service Requirements for Merchant Marine Officers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would make the following changes to merchant mariner training and service requirements:

1. Radar Endorsement:  Remove the requirement for placing the date of the radar-observer endorsement on a merchant mariner's license.  This change would eliminate the confusion arising from having two conflicting expiration dates on the face of the license.
2. Training Programs:  Allow an apprentice mate of towing vessels to reduce sea-service time required to qualify for mate (pilot) of towing vessels by successfully completing a Coast Guard-approved training program.
3. Alternate Progression:  Provide an alternate path to qualify as mate (pilot) of towing vessels for master of steam and motor vessels of not more than 200 gross register tons (GRT).

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  1. Radar Endorsement:  Changing the requirement would simplify the process of issuing the license and ease the burden on the Coast Guard, industry, and schools providing the training;  2. Training Programs:  The requirements for an apprentice mate to become a mate (pilot) of towing vessels are so restrictive they unnecessarily restrict the development of comprehensive long-term training programs, which dampens interest in the development of such programs.  The proposed action would provide flexibility within the regulations to allow the development of company training programs that the Coast Guard could accept as meeting a portion of the service requirements for apprentice mate (steersman);  3. Alternate Progression:  An alternate path could provide relief regarding a shortage of qualified personnel, as well as, provide alternatives to companies that operate diverse fleets of vessels (e.g. OSVs and towing vessels).  By and large, this would improve the functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would remove the requirements found in title 33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 155 and 156 for tank level or pressure monitoring (TLPM) devices as published in the Federal Register of September 17, 2002, (67 FR 58515).  Authority to remove these regulations comes from section 702 of Public Law 108-293.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  No market failure was identified.  Since the Coast Guard published the final rule in September 2002, no TLPM devices have been submitted to the Coast Guard for approval, and there are currently no devices on the market that meet the performance requirements of 33 CFR 150.490 for a TLPM device.  The justification is improved functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of LNG/LHG Facility Application Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would revise 33 CFR Part 127 for a waterfront facility that handles liquid hazardous gas (LHG) and liquid natural gas (LNG).  It would harmonize Coast Guard regulations with those of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for LNG issues.  It would also include requirements for LHG facilities that are similar to those for LNG facilities.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Coast Guard is codifying a current industry practice for a Waterway Suitability Assessment, which FERC requires for LNG facilities.  The requirements for LHG facilities are very similar to LNG facilities.  However, current requirements for LHG are not as security-robust as proposed. These security regulations address the potential under-provision of security since operators cannot capture the full marginal social benefits of security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Crewmember Identification Documents (USCG-2007-28648)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this project, we would add a new subpart D to 33 CFR part 160.  This new subpart would contain requirements that each crewmember have an acceptable identification document in their possession or otherwise securely stored onboard the vessel when it enters U.S. waters.  In addition, we would describe the acceptance criteria for an identification document in a way that is consistent with the policies of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the proposed Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.  We expect documents already held by the majority of U.S. mariners, e.g., merchant mariner's document (MMD), transportation worker identification credential (TWIC) and the proposed merchant mariner credential (MMC) would meet our requirements.  To ensure vessel control options if a crewmember does not comply, we also propose to require the vessel owner to ensure that all crewmembers on the vessel have an acceptable form of identification.

We also expect the characteristics of an acceptable crewmember identification document will include a Seafarers Identification Document (SID) issued by or under the authority of the government of a country that has ratified the International Labour Organization Seafarers Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003 (ILO 185), meeting all the requirements of ILO 185.  The United States has not ratified ILO 185 which involves many issues including shore leave.  This Coast Guard rulemaking would not confer any immigration status on the holder of a SID--or any other identification that satisfies our proposed regulation.  The Department of State continues to require a visa for shore leave.
 
Title 46 U.S.C. 70111 also requires the Secretary to consult with the Attorney General and Secretary of State in the promulgation of this regulation. In delegating this authority to the Coast Guard, the Secretary of DHS has directed us to develop this rule in cooperation with Customs and Border Protection and the Transportation Security Administration.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Regulation addresses potential market failure in that operators cannot internalize marginal social benefits of improved security intended by this regulation and as such would not necessarily do so on their own or would not create a uniform system of identification with recognizable safeguards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Increasing Passenger Weight Standard for Passenger Vessels (USCG 2005-22732)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes developing a rule that addresses both the stability calculations and the environmental operating requirements for certain domestic passenger vessels.  The proposed rule would address the outdated per-person weight averages that are currently used in stability calculations for certain domestic passenger vessels.  In addition, the proposed rule would add environmental operating requirements for domestic passenger vessels that could be adversely affected by sudden inclement weather.  This rulemaking would increase passenger safety by significantly reducing the risk of certain types of passenger vessels capsizing due either to passenger overloading or operating these vessels in hazardous weather conditions.
Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis: Regulations need to be updated to reflect current passenger weights.  Standards are often set because owners and operators cannot internalize the benefits of appropriate safety standards.  The commercial passenger vessel industry is not capable of voluntarily establishing uniform, nationwide standards for passenger weight.  Failure to update the standards to reflect accurate, current passenger weights places passenger vessels at greater risk of capsizing.
This NPRM would support the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Coast Guard regulations use an assumed average weight per person to calculate the maximum number of passengers and crew permitted on each deck.  This assumed weight was established in the 1960s and is 160 pounds per person, except that vessels operating exclusively on protected waters carrying a mix of men, women, and children may use an average of 140 pounds.  A recent report from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) program of the National Center for Health Statistics shows that there has been a significant increase in the average weights of the U.S. population between 1960 and 2002.  Accordingly, the Coast Guard is updating the average passenger weight used in stability tests and evaluations for those vessels that may be at risk of capsizing due to excessive passenger weight.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The authority for the Coast Guard to prescribe, change, revise or amend these regulations is provided under 33 U.S.C. 1321(j); 43 U.S.C. 1333; 46 U.S.C. 2103, 3205, 3306, 3307, 3703, and 6101; 49 U.S.C.

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Coast Guard advised mariners through a Federal Register notice on April 26, 2006 (71 FR 24732) to voluntarily follow revised procedures to account for increased passenger weight when calculating the maximum number of persons permitted on board.  The notice advised owners and operators of all pontoon vessels, and small passenger vessels not more than 65 feet in length, that met simplified stability requirements using either 140 or 160 pounds, to voluntarily restrict the maximum number of passengers permitted on board by:
(1)  Changing passenger capacity to a reduced number by dividing the total test weight by 185 pounds; or
(2)  Changing passenger capacity to a reduced number equal to 140 divided by 185 times the current number of passengers permitted to be carried.  If the total test weight was based on 160 pounds per person, the multiplier may be taken as 160 divided by 185; or
(3)  Weighing persons and effects at dockside prior to boarding and limiting the actual load to the total test weight used in the vessels SST or PSST.
On November 2, 2006, the Coast Guard published a second notice in the Federal Register clarifying the environmental conditions appropriate for operation of small passenger vessels (71 FR 64546).  Guidance, though, does not carry the force of law.  A regulatory solution is necessary to enact changes to the mandatory passenger weight limitations.
The Coast Guard also considered the option of directing Officers in Charge, Marine Inspection, pursuant to 46 CFR 178.210(c), to use a current assumed average passenger weight in stability tests for vessels under 65 feet in length.  As with guidance, though, a policy directive is not enforceable and a regulatory change is necessary.  A notice and comment rulemaking will be necessary for a comprehensive regulatory change that is based on the views of all interested parties.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The first-year implementation cost estimate is $4.5 million or $4.7 million at three or seven percent discount rates, respectively.  The annual costs after the first year range between $1.5 million and $2.8 million, depending upon the year and the discount rate.  These cost estimates may change through further development of the rulemaking and after consideration of public comments.  The anticipated benefit is aligning regulation with the actual average passenger weight.  We anticipate the revised weight standards would improve stability and reduce the risk of capsizings due either to passenger overloading or operating certain vessels in hazardous weather conditions, but have not assessed the extent of the risk reduction.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Passenger vessel capsizings can involve significant loss of life and property.  This rulemaking would reduce the risk of such incidents by updating the average passenger weight used in stability tests and evaluations of certain vessels.  Consequently, this rulemaking would increase passenger safety and supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 2002 explicitly required the issuance of a biometric transportation security card to all U.S. merchant mariners and to workers requiring unescorted access to secure areas of facilities and vessels. On May 22, 2006, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard published a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) to carry out this statute, proposing a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Program where TSA conducts security threat assessments and issues identification credentials, while the Coast Guard requires integration of the TWIC into the access control systems of vessels, facilities and OCS facilities.  This would have included the use of biometric TWIC readers by vessels, facilities and OCS facilities.  Based upon comments received during the public comment period, TSA and the Coast Guard bifurcated the TWIC rule. The final rule, published in January, addressed the issuance of the TWIC and use of the TWIC as a flash pass at access control points. 
The requirement for integration of the TWIC into access control systems via TWIC card readers was deliberately excluded from the first TWIC Final Rule due to technology, operational and economic feasibility concerns. While the private sector has employed biometrics for a number of years in controlled, office-like environments, very few studies have examined how biometric card readers will withstand the comparatively harsh environments of vessels and facilities. The standard for the design and issuance of the TWIC did not provide for the card to be read without inserting it into an open slot reader, which commenters felt was operationally insufficient for the rigors of application in the maritime environment. Also, several commenters stated that the cost of biometric card readers would be extremely detrimental for small entities. With this in mind, Congress enacted several statutory requirements within the Security and Accountability For Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006 to guide regulations pertaining to TWIC card readers.

This rulemaking is necessary to comply with the SAFE Port Act and to complete the implementation of the TWIC Program in our ports. By requiring electronic card readers at vessels and facilities, the Coast Guard will further enhance port security and improve access control measures.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The statutory authorities for the Coast Guard to prescribe, change, revise or amend these regulations are provided under 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701; 50 U.S.C. 191, 192; Executive Order 12656, 3 CFR 1988 Comp., p. 585; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-11, 6.14, 6.16, and 6.19; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

The SAFE Port Act requires a final rule within two years of commencement of the TWIC pilot program.  The SAFE Port Act also requires that the pilot program begin within 180 days from signature of the Act (October 13, 2006).  This means our final rule must be promulgated by April of 2009.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Alternative 1: Use several, if not all, of the concepts introduced in the first TWIC rule NPRM to address card reader requirements.  This would mean that every facility and vessel regulated by 33 CFR Subchapter H would need to purchase or have access to at least one reader. 
Alternative 2: Dont implement a reader requirement, and instead have the Coast Guard do spot checks on regulated facilities and vessels using hand-held biometric card readers, while TWICs are used as flash passes.  
Alternative 3: Require the use of card readers at regulated facilities and vessels based upon the risk of an access control related Transportation Security Incident taking place.  
No non-regulatory alternatives are available at this time.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Coast Guard and TSA are in the process of revising earlier reader technology and compliance cost analysis from the Regulatory Evaluation used in support of the 2006 NPRM.  Based on the 2006 Regulatory Evaluation, the average initial costs for affected owners and operators of vessels and facilities to acquire and install reader technology was approximately $225.5 million in the first year (non- discounted) with technology replacement occurring every five years.  Based on public comments and mandates from the SAFE Port Act, we plan to revise the 2006 cost estimates associated with reader technology by incorporating data and findings from the pilot program. The pilot program discussed in the SAFE Port Act focuses on business processes, measurements of available technology, and operational impacts of readers.  As of the publication date of this Regulatory Plan, data has not been collected from the pilot program.  The Coast Guard and TSA anticipate reader technology deployed at vessels and facilities will further enhance port security and improve access control measures.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[During the rulemaking process, we will take into account the various conditions in which TWIC card readers may be employed. For example, we will consider the types of vessels and facilities that will use TWIC readers, locations of secure and restricted areas, operational constraints, and need for accessibility.  As part of this consideration, we are using the analytical hierarchy approach to incorporate Maritime Security Risk Analysis Model maximum consequence data, criticality, and TWIC utility factors to determine the level of TWIC authentication necessary at each type of facility and vessel.  This will tie TWIC reader use requirements with facility and vessel risk, criticality, and TWIC utility. Recordkeeping requirements, amendments to security plans, and the requirement for data exchanges (i.e. TWIC hotlist) between TSA and vessel and facility owners/operators will also be addressed in this rulemaking.
The MTSA of 2002 further required the TWIC to be applicable to vessel pilots (46 U.S.C. 70105(b)(2)(C)). Most vessel pilots are already included in the first TWIC Final Rule as many hold federally issued merchant mariner credentials. In this proposed rulemaking, we will propose extending the TWIC applicability to vessel pilots holding only state commissions or credentials. Similarly, MTSA required the TWIC to be applicable to an individual engaged on a towing vessel that pushes, pulls, or hauls alongside a tank vessel (46 U.S.C. 70105(b)(2)(D)). While we have included individuals working on towing vessels subject to 33 CFR Part 104 in the first TWIC Final Rule, we will propose extending TWIC applicability to those individuals who work on towing vessels that push, pull, or haul alongside a tank vessel.
Another vital part of this rulemaking will be the vessel crew size limitations described in the SAFE Port Act. We are currently evaluating minimum crew size options as a component of proposed electronic reader requirements aboard vessels.
Finally, we will also revisit the concept of recurring unescorted access which was introduced in the first TWIC rule. As stated in the NPRM, published on May 22, 2006, As a result of this desire to provide flexibility, we propose the concept of recurring unescorted access, which is intended to allow an individual to enter on a continual basis, without repeating the personal identity verification piece. We will examine the risks and benefits of this provision and propose an appropriate solution for vessels and facilities with small contingents of regular employees.]]></RISKS>

        <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.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The load line regime is a voluntary scheme to allow qualified non-load line river barges to operate on the Great Lakes.  This provides an economic advantage to those river barge operators that choose to follow this scheme.  We do not believe that a market failure exists in this case.  This improves the functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Outer Continental Shelf Activities (USCG-1998-3868)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is the lead Federal agency for workplace safety and health, other than for matters generally related to drilling and production that are regulated by the Minerals Management Service (MMS), on facilities and vessels engaged in the exploration for, or development or production of, minerals on the OCS. This project would revise the regulations on Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) activities to: 1) Add new requirements for fixed OCS facilities for lifesaving, fire protection, training, hazardous materials used as stores, and accommodation spaces; 2) require foreign vessels engaged in OCS activities to comply with requirements similar to those imposed on U.S. vessels similarly engaged; 3) 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; and 4) add a Congressionally mandated component concerning notices of arrivals of foreign vessels on the OCS. 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. In order to increase maritime domain awareness and security on the OSC, and pursuant to the SAFE Port Act (Pub. Law 109-347), this rule would also establish notice of arrival requirements for foreign vessels arriving on the OCS.  It supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety and environmental protection.
Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Regulations need to be updated to account for technological change.  The original regulations were intended for OCS activity in shallower water and closer to land.   The regulations also needed to better reflect current industry practices.  A few owners and operators may not be able to internalize the benefits of these safety measures.  Further, the diverse industry on the OCS is not capable of establishing uniform regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The last major revision of Coast Guard OCS regulations occurred in 1982.  At that time, the offshore industry was not as technologically advanced as it is today.  Offshore activities were in relatively shallow water near land, where help was readily available during emergency situations.  The equipment regulations required only basic equipment, primarily for lifesaving appliances and hand-held portable fire extinguishers.  Since 1982, the requirements in 33 CFR chapter I, subchapter N, have not kept pace with the changing offshore technology or the safety problems it creates as OCS activities extend to deeper water (10,000 feet) and move farther offshore (150 miles).  This rulemaking reassesses all of our current OCS regulations in light of past experiences and new improvements in order to help make the OCS a safer workplace.  Additionally, the rule would comply with Section 109 of the SAFE Port Act (P.L. 109-347)by including notice of arrival requirements for foreign vessels operating on the OCS.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Section 145.100 also issued under 14 U.S.C. 664 and 31 U.S.C. 9701.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Coast Guard considered filling the shortfall in existing OCS regulations by extending the current vessel and MODU regulations.  This approach was rejected after concluding that the differences between fixed and floating units made this approach impractical.
We also considered requiring compliance with industry standards.  Those standards, though, do not cover all of the areas needing regulation.  The new rule would adopt available consensus standards where appropriate.
Nonregulatory alternatives, such as agency policy documents and voluntary acceptance of industry standards were also considered.  They were also rejected, however, because enforceable regulations are necessary in order to carry out the relevant statutes.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The first-year implementation cost estimate is $64 million or $67 million at three or seven percent discount rates, respectively. The annual costs after the first year range between $7.5 million and $19.2 million, depending upon the year and the discount rate.  These cost estimates may change through further development of the rulemaking and after consideration of public comments.  The anticipated benefit is to improve safety for OCS activities and align current regulations with current industry practice.  Based on analysis of past marine casualties, the average annual benefit estimate from this rulemaking is $1.3 million (non-discounted).]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The extensive revisions to health and safety requirements for OCS units in this rule would substantially reduce the risk of injury or illness on those units.  Additionally, a terrorist attack against a large OCS production facility could have a significant negative effect on the U.S. economy.  By improving the ability of the Coast Guard to identify potential terrorists bound for the OCS and coordinate appropriate responses before they arrive, this rulemaking will expand maritime domain awareness and reduce the risk of terrorist actions against OCS units.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel and Facility Response Plans for Oil: 2003 Removal Equipment Requirements and Alternative Technology Revisions (USCG-2001-8661)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will make changes to certain requirements for Vessel Response Plans and Marine Transportation Facility Response Plans, and revise the language in the Code of Federal Regulations concerning methods and procedures for removing oil from coastal waters. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of natural resources.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Coast Guard sets a minimum standard for the amount of cleanup capability an oil transportation company must maintain.  The most promising new technology for mitigating the damage done by oil spills has been dispersants.  Without regulation, industry would not overcome the high startup costs for implementing a new aerial dispersant system since they cannot internalize all the marginal social benefits of doing so.  However, if all industry participants are required to provide dispersant capability, a large consortium can deliver the capability at a low cost to the individual firm.]]></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 maritime safety and protection of natural resources.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Current volume and pattern of vessel traffic operating in this area indicates a need to impose safety measures on vessel movements such as traffic separation schemes to reduce potential for collisions. This addresses market failure of operators not being able to internalize the potential environmental costs of current practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend 33 CFR part 53 by extending coverage to uniformed members of the Coast Guard who make "protected" communications either to an organization within the Department the Coast Guard is operating in, when the communication relates to an audit, inspection, or law enforcement, or to any other person or organization (including any person or organization in the chain of command) designated to receive such communications.  The rulemaking would also expand protected communications to include complaints of:  (a) Violations of statute or regulation prohibiting sexual harassment; (b) unlawful discrimination; and (c) gross mismanagement. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety, maritime security, protection of natural resources, maritime mobility, and national defense.

        <RULE_TITLE>Review and Update of Standards for Marine Equipment (USCG-2003-16630)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would incorporate national and international standards for certain marine equipment and marine electrical equipment into title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).  These standards would replace long-outdated ones, or update standards that were superseded fairly recently.  The Coast Guard has actively participated in the development of national and international standards of safety for marine equipment through the International Maritime Organization, the International Organization for Standardization, and the American Society for Testing and Materials, as well as through other standards-setting bodies under the American National Standards Institute.  We would incorporate these standards into the appropriate parts of title 46.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The rule updates national standards for marine equipment.  Industry is not able to develop and maintain consistent uniform national standards that are compliant with international conventions. This not only improves the functioning of government but also addresses the issue of the marginal social benefits provided by uniform standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pollution Prevention Equipment (USCG-2004-18939)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise the Coast Guards pollution prevention equipment (PPE) regulations to reflect and implement International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Annex I, Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution guidelines and specifications that Member States are invited to make applicable on or after January 1, 2005.  The new standards will require equipment designed to reduce the amount of oil discharged from ships and eliminate the need for ozone-depleting solvents to test this equipment for approval.  Additionally, this rulemaking proposes the removal of the bilge monitor standard to better align the 46 CFR subpart 162.050 regulations with the IMO PPE guidelines.  This project supports the Coast Guards strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  MARPOL Annex I has been updated due to improved technology in pollution prevention equipment, which will reduce the adverse impacts of maritime industry operations on the environment.  Older systems had difficulty separating emulsified contaminants and were often subject to tampering due to malfunctioning alarms.  The proposed rule updates the required equipment standards and is necessary to align Coast Guard standards with MARPOL.  Potential environmental costs of pollution are not internalized by vessel owners.  Regulation needed to ensure owners/operators costs reflect the marginal social costs of their actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would:

Update the list in 46 CFR 2.01-25 of those SOLAS certificates required to be carried onboard and certificates that may be issued by an authorized classification society;

Add, in 46 CFR 8.320(b), the following safety certificates to the list of international certificates that can be issued by an authorized classification society:  
     SOLAS Passenger Ship Safety Certificate (PSSC)
     IMO High-Speed Craft (HSC) Safety Certificate;

Add a condition to 46 CFR 8.420(c) stating that, in order for a recognized class society to be fully eligible to participate in the ACP, it must first be delegated issuing authority for the following certificates:
     SOLAS Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate
     SOLAS Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate
     International Load Line Certificate
     International Tonnage Certificate
     International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate;

Extend eligibility in the ACP to Oceanographic Research Vessels by adding a new section 46 CFR 189.15-5 to reference part 8; and, remove references to the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) throughout the ACP regulations and replace them with references to "authorized classification society." This rulemaking is intended to expand the benefits available under the ACP. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of facilitating maritime safety and mobility.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  No market failure was identified.  ACP is a voluntary scheme.  The justification for the regulation is the improved functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Approval of Classification Societies (USCG-2007-27668)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rulemaking would implement the requirements of 46 U.S.C. 3316(c), as amended by section 413 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Authorization Act of 2004.  Under this section, a classification society (including an employee or agent of that society) may not review, examine, survey, or certify the construction, repair or alteration of a vessel in the U.S. unless it is either a full member of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) or is approved by the Coast Guard.  Although the Coast Guard already has reviewed applications from classification societies under 46 U.S.C. 3316(c), we determined that the requirements, procedures, and criteria the Coast Guard is using to review and approve classification societies should be made part of title 46, Code of Federal Regulations (46 CFR) part 2 in order to have a specific basis for approval determinations.  This rulemaking has no statutory mandate and no deadline.
Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  This rulemaking would harmonize requirements and procedures for approval of classification societies.  This will improve efficiency and effectiveness of Coast Guard approvals and ultimately improve service to vessel owners and operators.  Justification of regulation is the improved functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Large Passenger Ship Crew Requirements (USCG-2007-27761)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to create a Merchant Mariner's Document (MMD) citizenship exemption for stewards who will be working aboard large passenger vessels.  This action has been mandated by Congress in 46 U.S.C. 8103(k).  The rulemaking would support the Coast Guard's strategic goal of Maritime Safety.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Owners of such U.S. flagged vessels have informed Congress and the Coast Guard that the current U.S. citizenship requirements are impeding their ability to hire and retain stewards.  Foreign competition is forcing some of these cruise vessels to reflag with foreign states.  This action has been mandated by Congress in 46 USC 8103(k).  Justification is improved functioning of government inasmuch as policy change reflects market realities and adapts MMDs to capture this.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard uses these routine and frequent regulations to establish control of access to areas to ensure the safety of events, vessels, 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, defined in 33 CFR 165.20, are established for events such as fireworks displays, high-speed races, bridge repairs, dredging, or salvage operations, or the transit of dangerous cargoes such as explosives or liquefied petroleum gas.  Safety 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, maritime mobility, and protection of natural resources. Safety zones under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act are also included in these routine and frequent regulations.  The total actions expected is 150 annually.]]></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 is 15 annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Discharge-Removal Equipment for Vessels Carrying Oil (CGD 90-068)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 directed the President by August 18, 1992, to require periodic inspection of discharge-removal equipment to ensure that it is available in an emergency, and to require carriage of discharge-removal equipment by vessels operating in the navigable waters of the United States and carrying oil or hazardous substances. This action implemented those provisions. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of natural resources. This project is considered significant because of substantial public interest.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Without regulation, we do not expect industry to incur the costs to develop, install, and maintain such equipment.  Potential environmental costs of discharge not internalized by vessel owners.  Regulation needed to ensure owners/operators costs reflect the marginal social costs of their actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>State Access to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (USCG-2004-19123)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), this action specifies how the authority to obligate the pollution trust fund for oil spill response and clean-up efforts and to enter into agreements with the States will be exercised. The Coast Guard is evaluating the performance of the interim rule. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of protection of natural resources.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Oil Pollution Act of 1990, at 33 U.S.C. 2712(e), requires regulations that detail the manner in which the authority to obligate the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund for oil spill response and clean-up efforts and to enter into agreements with the States shall be exercised.  We do not believe that a market failure exists in this case.  This rulemaking, however, improves the functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regatta and Marine Parade Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 8 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. The total actions expected is about 70 annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 is 140 annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Escort Vessels in Certain U.S. Waters (CGD 91-202a)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would designate those U.S. waters, other than Prince William Sound and Puget Sound, where tankers and other vessels must be escorted by a towing vessel or other appropriate vessel. This project supports the Coast Guard's Prevention 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. It is significant because of substantial public and State government interest.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Regulations need to be updated.  This rule would provide requirements where tankers and other vessels must be escorted by a towing vessel or other appropriate vessel.  Owners and operators may not be able to internalize the benefits of such measures.  These measures are expected to reduce the amount of oil discharged into the marine environment and to protect natural resources.  This regulation is needed to ensure that owners'/operators' costs reflect the marginal social costs of their actions.]]></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.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Industry response plans for incidents involving hazardous and noxious liquid substance at facilities lack timely and adequate measures to clean spills due to the high cost of retaining the service of qualified and equipped professionals for emergency response.  Since individual firms cannot internalize the benefit and costs for implementing a hazardous substance response system are high, a capable response program has not been established.  However, if all industry participants are required to provide a minimum response capability, a large consortium can deliver the capability at a manageable cost to the individual firm.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tank Vessel Response Plans for Hazardous Substances (USCG-1998-4354)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would implement provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 that require an owner or operator of a tank vessel carrying bulk hazardous substances to develop and operate in accordance with an approved response plan. The regulations would apply to vessels operating on the navigable waters or within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States that carry bulk hazardous substances. A separate rulemaking, under RIN 1625-AA12, would address hazardous substances response plan requirements for marine transportation-related facilities. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources by reducing the amount of chemicals entering the environment, as well as reducing the consequences of pollution incidents. This project is considered significant because of substantial public and industry interest.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Industry response plans for incidents involving hazardous and noxious liquid substance from vessels lack timely and adequate measures to clean spills due to the high cost of retaining the service of qualified and equipped professionals for emergency response.  Since individual firms cannot internalize the benefit and costs for implementing a hazardous substance response system are high, a capable response program has not been established.  However, if all industry participants are required to provide a minimum response capability, a large consortium can deliver the capability at a manageable cost to the individual firm.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Numbering of Undocumented Barges (USCG-1998-3798)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title 46 U.S.C. 12301, as amended by the Abandoned Barge Act of 1992, requires that all undocumented barges of 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.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Unnumbered barges are often abandoned in America's waterways causing potential environmental damage or property damage if they drift away.  Such barges need to be properly disposed of by their owners.  Owners and operators may not be able to internalize the benefits of these measures.]]></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.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  This rule addresses potentially inadequate levels of equipment/preparedness since operators do not internalize the full marginal social costs of their actions. Uniform industry standards are required, and industry is incapable of establishing acceptable standards on a nationwide basis.]]></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 Prevention 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.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Coast Guard is addressing the potential for an increase in vessel collisions and allisions in the Puget Sound area due to the volume of traffic using these waters.  Certain safety measures discussed in the rulemaking will improve maritime safety while accommodating the current volume of traffic.  Public input is expected to assist the Coast Guard in sharpening this cost-benefit analysis, and to determine to what degree a market failure exists with respect to vessel operators not internalizing the full marginal social costs of their actions.]]></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.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Coast Guard regulations need to be updated in this area.  Improper stowage or securing of cargo can lead to damage or loss of cargo and affect stability of the vessel.  The rules are expected to increase maritime safety and protection of natural resources.  The regulation addresses market failure of operators not fully internalizing the marginal benefits of security or the marginal social costs of inadequate environmental protection.]]></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 VTSes, 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.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Due to the diversity of vessel traffic operating in the Lower Mississippi River, maritime industry is not capable of imposing uniform traffic control measures and enforcing compliance on all users.  The justification is improved functioning of government and that it addresses the market failure resulting from potentially inadequate vessel safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Validation of Merchant Mariners&apos; Vital Information and Issuance of Coast Guard Merchant Mariner&apos;s Documents (MMDs) (USCG-2003-14500)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking describes enhancements to the application procedures for the "Merchant Mariners' Documents" required for ocean-going and Great Lakes vessels of over 100 gross tons.  This includes showing up physically at a Regional Exam Center at least once during each application and furnishing proof of identity, fingerprinting, and a background check.  This appearance requirement is intended to be an interim measure until the appearance requirement in the Transportation Worker Identification Credential rulemaking is fully implemented.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The proposed rulemaking would require mariners seeking to renew their merchant mariner document (MMD) to visit a regional exam center (REC) and furnish fresh fingerprints enabling a criminal record review. The change would enhance maritime security by increasing the likelihood that MMDs would only go to persons eligible to receive them. Without regulation, the market would not transmit to mariners the benefits of the enhanced security resulting from the REC visit. As a result, most mariners would not voluntarily visit the REC and the benefits would not be realized.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would impose certain security-related requirements in order to obtain a license or certificate of registry.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard uses these routine and frequent regulations to establish control of access to areas to ensure the security of vessels, waterfront facilities, or individuals. Many of these zones are of short duration, a few hours to a few days, and all are geographically limited in area.  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.  Some security zones are implemented only at heightened security levels and only for the duration of the heightened alert.  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 security, mobility, protection of natural resources, and national defense. The total actions expected is 75 annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dry Cargo Residue Discharges in the Great Lakes (USCG-2004-19621)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking implements congressional directives. Public Law 108-293 directs the Coast Guard to continue implementation of an existing enforcement policy that regulates incidental dry cargo residue on the Great Lakes, until September 30, 2008, or until the promulgation of new regulations that would replace the existing policy. The statute also directs the Coast Guard to undertake any environmental assessment that would be necessary to support new regulations; this assessment is in progress.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Coast Guard is currently governing the discharge of dry cargo residues (DCR) into the Great Lakes through the Interim Enforcement Policy (IEP), in which certain DCR discharges are allowed in certain designated areas.  Following expiration of the IEP on September 30, 2008, if the Coast Guard does not promulgate new regulations, the stricter provisions of MARPOL Annex V and APPS would take full effect, resulting in the prohibition of DCR discharges into the Great Lakes. The Coast Guard is currently studying if the IEP results in a market failure (i.e., over provision of discharge and marginal social costs greater than industry costs).  If so, a new regulation is needed to provide a balance between the need to protect the Great Lakes environment and the need for safe and reasonable operation of Great Lakes commercial dry bulk carriers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waiver for Marking Sunken Vessels With Light at Night (USCG-2005-20488)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rulemaking would reflect the implementation of new legislation that allows the Coast Guard the option to waive the requirement for an owner of a vessel wrecked and sunk in a navigable channel to mark it with a light at night.  The proposed rulemaking would meet the Commandant's objectives of maritime safety, maritime mobility, and protection of natural resources.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Vessel owners are currently required to mark sunken vessels with a lighted buoy at night.  For many western rivers with faster currents the lighted buoy is an impracticable method due to their weight.  The proposed rule is necessary to align the current requirement with natural restrictions.  The justification for the regulation is the improved functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consolidation of Merchant Mariner Qualification Credentials (USCG-2006-24371)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to streamline the existing merchant mariner qualification credentialing process to minimize redundant requirements and simplify the credentialing program.  This rulemaking works in tandem with the joint Final Rule published by the Coast Guard and the Transportation Security Administration entitled "Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Implementation in the Maritime Sector; Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial Driver's License," RIN 1652-AA41.  It proposes to combine the individual Merchant Mariner Document, License, Certificate of Registry, and STCW endorsement into a single certificate termed the Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) which will be endorsed to reflect a mariners level of qualification.  The Coast Guard also proposes to streamline the application process for the MMC by removing the requirement that all mariners appear at least once at one of 17 Regional Exam Centers.  Instead, the information previously submitted by the applicant at the REC would be obtained in the TWIC enrollment process and shared with the Coast Guard by the Transportation Security Administration.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The existing regulations require revision in order to reflect recent changes in mariner credentialing resulting from the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) rulemaking. In general, regulation is needed because industry cannot internalize the benefits of the enhanced maritime safety and security that would be created by assuring that only eligible and qualified persons serve as mariners, thus the benefits would not be realized without regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inspection of Towing Vessels (USCG-2006-24412)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would add Coast Guard regulations to implement a program of inspection for towing vessels.  It would prescribe standards for design, construction, subdivision and stability, alteration and repair of superstructures, hulls, fittings, equipment, appliances, propulsion machinery, auxiliary machinery, boilers, unfired pressure vessels, piping, electrical  installations, accommodations, lifesaving equipment and its use, firefighting equipment and its use, precautionary measures to guard against fire, inspections and tests related to the above list, and use of vessel stores and other supplies of a dangerous nature.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Section 415 of the Coast Guard and MTA 2004 added all towing vessels to the list of vessels subject to inspection for certification.  As a result, a number of towing vessels and a significant number of other vessels that engage in various towing activities, became subject to inspection by the CG for compliance with appropriate marine safety requirements.  As the law is not self-executing, regulations for the inspection to certify towing vessels must be developed so the public, the towing industry, and Coast Guard personnel would understand the specific requirements applicable to these vessels. The justification is improved functioning of government. Also, it address potential under-provision of inspection for safety issues, which may result in higher marginal social costs than industry costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Landowner Defenses to Liability Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990: Standards and Practices for Conducting All Appropriate Inquiries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation would establish the standards and practices for conducting all appropriate inquiries to qualify for liability protection under OPA 90.  The Coast Guard proposes to establish standards and practices concerning the all appropriate inquiries element of a defense to liability of an owner or operator of a facility that is the source of a discharge or substantial threat of discharge of oil into the navigable waters or adjoining shorelines or the exclusive economic zone.  To be entitled to the defense, those persons must show, among other elements not addressed in this rulemaking, that, before acquiring the property, they had made all appropriate inquiries into the previous ownership and uses of the property to determine the presence or likely presence of oil.  This rulemaking would support the Coast Guard Strategic Goals of Maritime Mobility and Protection of Natural Resources.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), as amended by the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004, at 33 U.S.C. 2703(d)(4)(B), requires regulations establishing the standards and practices for satisfying the all appropriate inquiries requirements of 33 U.S.C. 2703(d)(4)(A).  This rule would allow persons planning to acquire real property on which a facility is located to protect them from liability should unknown oil that is the subject of a discharge or a substantial threat of discharge be found at the facility after they acquire it.  We believe that without this regulation there would be inadequate or asymmetric information available to responsible parties with respect to their ability to avail themselves of a defense to liability under OPA 90.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lifesaving Equipment; Production Testing and Harmonization With International Standards (USCG-2007-27669)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this project, the manufacturers of lifesaving equipment would be required to use inspectors from independent laboratories, instead of Coast Guard inspectors, for witnessing required production tests and inspections.  This new requirement would reduce the potential for costly delivery delays that manufacturers and vessel owners and operators might experience when our inspectors are unavailable, reduce the cost of inspections by allowing the use of locally based, qualified surveyors, and allow the Coast Guard more latitude in the use of its personnel resources.  In this project, we would also update technical requirements for some lifesaving equipment by harmonizing our design, performance, and testing requirements with current practice and international regulatory requirements.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  Currently manufacturers experience costly delays in having their lifesaving equipment approved by the Coast Guard due to unavailability of Coast Guard inspectors.  Inspections by independent laboratories will reduce these delays ensuring the use of the latest lifesaving equipment and improving maritime safety.  Justification is improved functioning of government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Requirements for Propeller Injury Avoidance Measures (USCG 2001-10163)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish Federal requirements for non-planing recreational houseboats equipped with propeller driven propulsion located aft of the transom. This rule would require owners of these non-planing recreational houseboats to install either one or two propulsion unit measures (a propeller guard or a jet pump drive) or employ three combined measures (use of an ignition cut-off switch, where installed, and install a swim ladder interlock device and an aft-visibility device). 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 non-planing recreational houseboat. This rulemaking would implement recommendations made by the National Boating Safety Advisory Council. It supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.  This project is being withdrawn to allow further study of the issues and options.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  There are a disproportionate number of propeller casualties for vessels 16 feet to 26 feet in length driven by stern drive engines, relative to their population.  This regulatory project would have required vessel operators to turn the engine off if there were a swimmer in the water in close proximity to the vessel.  This project should decrease propeller-related and carbon monoxide casualties.  Owners and operators may not be able to internalize the benefits of this safety measure, and we do not expect them to conform to this safety measure without regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2006 Rates for Pilotage on the Great Lakes (USCG-2006-24414)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is proposing to update the rates for pilotage on the Great Lakes. Based on our review we propose to adjust the pilotage rates for the 2006 shipping season to generate sufficient revenue to cover allowable expenses, target pilot compensation, and returns on investment.

Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis:  The Coast Guard is required to periodically review Great Lakes pilotage rates and, if necessary, make the appropriate adjustments.  Rates for Great Lakes pilots need to be increased on recurring basis to remain competitive in the labor market. Similarly, rates must be harmonized with the maritime economy of the Great Lakes region. The justification for the rule is to promote distributional fairness.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Documentation; Recording of Instruments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is amending the vessel documentation regulations to eliminate the need to provide originally signed commercial instruments, such as bills of sale and mortgages when such instruments are submitted to the National Vessel Documentation Center (NVDC) for recording.  In lieu of originally signed instruments, the NVDC will accept copies of the signed instruments.  In addition, it will no longer require submission of originals of instruments which have been filed by facsimile.  NVDC will also accept such instruments as PDF attachments to e-mail without the requirement to submit originals. Finally, the additional fee for filing by facsimile is eliminated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Advance Information on Private Aircraft Arriving and Departing the United States
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend Title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations to require that the pilot of any private aircraft arriving in the United States from a foreign location or departing the United States for foreign provide an advance electronic transmission of information to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regarding each individual traveling onboard the aircraft.  In addition, the rule would add data elements to the existing notice of arrival requirements and proposes a new notice of departure requirement.  The notice of arrival and notice of departure information would be required to be submitted to CBP via an approved electronic data interchange system in the same transmission as the corresponding arrival or departure manifest information.  The means of transmission for these data elements must be via an electronic data interchange system approved by CBP. Under the proposed rule, the transmission of the data must be accomplished so that CBP receives the data prior to the private aircraft departing from a foreign airport, and prior to a private aircraft departing a United States airport for a foreign port or place.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Current regulations do not provide CBP the capability to assess potential threats posed by private aircraft entering and departing the United States.  Private aircraft currently are not required to electronically transmit to CBP advance notice of arrival through an approved electronic data interchange system.  In addition, private aircraft are not currently required to electronically transmit identifying information for all individuals onboard the aircraft (manifest data) before arriving in or departing from the United States. The existing regulations lack clarity in the procedures for requesting permission to land at landing rights airports.  Private aircraft are also currently not required to obtain clearance or provide notice of departure prior to departing the United States.

To adequately and accurately assess potential threats posed by private aircraft entering and departing the United States, CBP needs sufficient and timely information about the impending arrival or departure of a private aircraft, the passengers and crew onboard, and clear procedures regarding landing rights and departure clearance.  Without these tools, CBP does not currently have the capability to perform risk assessments on passengers traveling on private aircraft.

Under this rule,  CBP would receive advance electronic information of notice of arrival combined with passenger manifest data for those aboard private aircraft that arrive in and depart from the United States.  This would provide critical information in a sufficient time to fully pre-screen information on all individuals intending to travel onboard private aircraft to or from the United States.  Moreover, these changes would enable CBP to minimize potential threats posed by private aircraft by identifying high-risk individuals and aircraft and allowing CBP to coordinate with airport personnel and domestic or foreign government authorities to take appropriate action when warranted by a threat.

This rule serves to provide the nation, private aircraft operators, and the international traveling public, additional security from the threat of terrorism and enhance CBPs ability to carry out its border enforcement mission.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This proposed rule is not economically significant under Executive Order 12866. Therefore, CBP did not consider regulatory alternatives.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Currently, pilots of private aircraft must submit information regarding themselves, their aircraft, and any passengers prior to arrival into the United States from a foreign airport.  Depending on the location of the foreign airport, the pilot provides the arrival information 1 hour prior to crossing the U.S. coastline or border (areas south of the United States) or during the flight (other areas).  The information that would now be required for the pilot is similar to what is already required; it would now need to be submitted earlier (60 minutes prior to departure).  The information that would now be required for passengers is more extensive that what is currently required and would also have to be submitted earlier.  No notice of departure information is currently required for private aircraft departing the United States for a foreign airport.

CBP estimates that 138,559 private aircraft landed in the United States in 2006 based on current notice of arrival data.  These aircraft collectively carried 455,324 passengers; including the 138,559 pilots of the aircraft, this totals 593,883 individuals arriving in the United States aboard private aircraft.  CBP estimates that approximately two-thirds are U.S. citizens and the remaining one-third is comprised of non-U.S. citizens.

CBP does not currently compile data for departures, as there are currently no requirements for private aircraft departing the United States.  For this analysis, we assume that the number of departures is the same as the number of arrivals.

Thus, we estimate that 140,000 private aircraft arrivals and 140,000 departures will be affected annually as a result of the rule.  While the current data elements for pilots are very similar to the proposed requirements, the data elements for passengers are more extensive.  Based on the current information collected and accounting for proposed changes in the data elements, CBP estimates that one submission, which includes the arrival information and the passenger manifest data, will require 15 minutes of time (0.25 hours) to complete.

Currently, private aircraft arriving from areas south of the United States must provide advance notice of arrival at least 1 hour before crossing the U.S. coastline or border.  There are no such timing requirements for other areas.  Thus, some pilots and their passengers may decide that in order to comply with the new requirements, including submitting information through eAPIS and waiting for a response from CBP, they must convene at the airport earlier than they customarily would.

To estimate the costs associated with the time required to input data into eAPIS, we use the value of an hour of time as reported in the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) document on critical values, $28.60. This represents a weighted cost for business and leisure travelers in the air environment.  The cost to submit advance notice of arrival data through eAPIS would be approximately $1 million (140,000 arrivals * 0.25 hours * $28.60 per hour).  Similarly, costs to submit advance notice of departure data would be $1 million, for a total cost to submit the required data elements of $2 million annually.

To estimate the costs of arriving earlier than customary, we again use the value of time of $28.60 per hour.  As noted previously, we assume that 301,000 pilots and passengers may choose to arrive 0.25 hours earlier than customary.  This would result in a cost of approximately $2 million for arrivals and $2 million for departures, a total of $4 million annually (301,000 individuals * 0.25 hours * $28.60 per hour * 2).

Thus, the total annual cost of the proposed rule is expected to be $6 million.  Over 10 years, this would total a present value cost of $47 million at a 7 percent discount rate ($55 million at a 3 percent discount rate).

As noted previously, the benefit of this proposed rule is enabling CBP to identify high-risk individuals and aircraft prior to their arrival in the United States, thus allowing CBP to coordinate with airport personnel and government authorities to take the action warranted by the threat.  CBP would receive more information earlier to better assess risks of specific flights to national security and to take appropriate action in order to prevent security threats.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

The LBCIP regulations enlist the voluntary cooperation of commercial carriers as part of CBP's effort to prevent the smuggling of controlled substances into the United States. Since the promulgation of the LBCIP regulations, CBP has developed a more comprehensive voluntary industry partnership known as the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT).  C-TPAT builds upon the best practices of LBCIP, while providing greater border and supply chain security with expanded benefits to approved participants.  For this reason, CBP intends to terminate the LBCIP and focus its partnership efforts on the further development of C-TPAT.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Vessel carriers are currently required to transmit certain manifest information by way of the CBP Vessel Automated Manifest System (AMS) 24 hours prior to lading of containerized and non-exempt break bulk cargo at a foreign port.  For the most part, this is the ocean carriers or non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC)s cargo declaration.  CBP analyzes this information to generate its risk assessment for targeting purposes.

Internal and external government reviews have concluded that more complete advance shipment data would produce even more effective and more vigorous cargo risk assessments.  In addition, pursuant to Section 203 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-347, 6 U.S.C. 943) (SAFE Port Act), the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Commissioner of CBP must promulgate regulations to require the electronic transmission of additional data elements for improved high-risk targeting, including appropriate security elements of entry data for cargo destined to the United States by vessel prior to loading of such cargo on vessels at foreign seaports.

Based upon its analysis, as well as the requirements under the SAFE Port Act, CBP is proposing to require the electronic transmission of additional data for improved high-risk targeting.  Some of these data elements are being required from carriers (Container Status Messages and Vessel Stow Plan) and others are being required from importers, as that term is defined for purposes of the proposed regulations.

This rule will improve CBPs risk assessment and targeting capabilities, while at the same time, enabling the agency to facilitate the prompt release of legitimate cargo following its arrival in the United States.  The information will assist CBP in increasing the security of the global trading system and, thereby, reducing the threat to the United States and world economy.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Pursuant to Section 203 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-347, 6 U.S.C. 943) (SAFE Port Act), the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Commissioner of CBP must promulgate regulations to require the electronic transmission of additional data elements for improved high-risk targeting, including appropriate security elements of entry data for cargo destined to the United States by vessel prior to loading of such cargo on vessels at foreign seaports.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[CBP considered requiring an importer security filing for bulk cargo as well as for containerized and break-bulk cargo. If bulk cargo were not exempt from an importer security filing, the annualized costs of the rule would be increased by approximately $10 million.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[As of the projected effective date of the regulation, CBP estimates that approximately 11 million import shipments conveyed by 1,200 different carrier companies operating 50,000 unique voyages or vessel-trips to the United States will be subject to the rule. Annualized costs range from $390 million to $630 million (7 percent discount rate over 10 years).

The annualized cost range results from varying assumptions about the estimated security filing transaction costs or fees charged to the importers by the filing parties, the potential for supply chain delays, and the estimated costs to carriers for transmitting additional data to CBP.

Ideally, the quantification and monetization of the benefits of this regulation would involve estimating the current level of risk of a successful terrorist attack, absent this regulation, and the incremental reduction in risk resulting from implementation of the  regulation.  We would then multiply the change by an estimate of the value individuals place on such a risk reduction to produce a monetary estimate of direct benefits.  However, existing data limitations and a lack of complete understanding of the true risks posed by terrorists prevent us from establishing the incremental risk reduction attributable to this rule.  As a result, CBP undertakes a break-even analysis to inform decision-makers of the necessary incremental change in the probability of such an event occurring that would result in direct benefits equal to the costs of the proposed rule.

Our analysis finds that the incremental costs of this regulation are relatively small compared to the median value of a shipment of goods despite the rather large absolute estimate of present value cost.

The proposed regulation may increase the time shipments are in transit, particularly for shipments consolidated in containers.  For such shipments, the supply chain is generally more complex and the importer has less control of the flow of goods and associated security filing information.  Foreign cargo consolidators may be consolidating multiple shipments from one or more shippers in a container destined for one or more buyers or consignees.  In order to ensure that the security filing data is provided by the shippers to the importers (or their designated agents) and is then transmitted to and accepted by CBP in advance of the 24-hour deadline, consolidators may advance their cut-off times for receipt of shipments and associated security filing data.

These advanced cut-off times would help prevent a consolidator or carrier from having to unpack or unload a container in the event the security filing for one of the shipments contained in the container is inadequate or not accepted by CBP.  For example, consolidators may require shippers to submit, transmit, or obtain CBP approval of their security filing data before their shipments are stuffed in the container, before the container is sealed, or before the container is delivered to the port for lading.  In such cases, importers would likely have to increase the times they hold their goods as inventory and thus incur additional inventory carrying costs to sufficiently meet these advanced cut-off times imposed by their foreign consolidators.  The high end of the cost ranges presented assumes an initial supply chain delay of 1 day (24 hours) for the first year of implementation (2008) and a delay of 12 hours for years 2 through 10 (20092017).]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Immigration and Naturalization Service-Issued Mexican and Canadian Border Crossing Cards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the DHS regulations to eliminate the use of Form I-175, Application for Nonresident Alien Canadian Border Crossing Card, and Form I-190, Application for Nonresident Alien Mexican Border Crossing Card. It also terminates the production of Form I-185, Nonresident Alien Canadian Border Crossing Card, and Form I-586, Nonresident Alien Mexican Border Crossing Card. In addition, this rule prohibits the use of Form I-186 (previous version of Mexican Border Crossing Card), Form I-185 and Form I-586 Border Crossing Cards (BCCs) after September 30, 2002, for required use of a card containing a machine-readable biometric identifier for entry (such as the fingerprint or handprint of the alien). Under the provisions of this rulemaking, an alien seeking entry into the United States by presentation of a BCC must complete a biometric verification upon each entry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of 25-Mile Limit at Select Arizona Ports-of-Entry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the DHS regulations to extend the distance Mexican nationals with border crossing cards may 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments to part 122 of the Customs and Border Protection regulations 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. These changes are needed to enhance the security areas at all airports.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) will reduce vulnerabilities identified in the final report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission.  WHTI is intended not only to enhance security efforts at the borders, but is also intended to expedite the movement of legitimate travel within the Western Hemisphere.

The land border, in particular, presents complex operational challenges, in that a tremendous amount of traffic must be processed in a short amount of time.  For example, there are often several passengers in a vehicle, and multiple vehicles arriving at one time at each land border port-of-entry.  Many of the people encountered crossing at the land border ports-of-entry are repeat crossers, who travel back and forth across the border numerous times a day.

The historical absence of standard travel document requirements for the travel of Canadian and U.S. citizens across our northern and southern borders has resulted in the current situation, where a multiplicity of documents can be presented at ports-of-entry by Canadian and U.S. travelers.  As a result, those individuals who seek to enter the United States or Canada illegally or who pose a potential threat could falsely declare themselves as U.S. or Canadian citizens.  They can do this through several methods: presenting fraudulent documents that cannot be validated; presenting facially valid documentation that cannot be validated against the identity of the holder; assuming the identity of the legitimate authentic document holder; or undocumented false claims.  These same vulnerabilities exist for individuals purporting to be U.S. citizens crossing back and forth across the southern border with Mexico.

U.S. travel document requirements for Mexican nationals already addressed most of these vulnerabilities prior to the passage of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA).  Generally, Mexican nationals are required to present either a Mexican passport with a visa or a biometric Border Crossing Card (BCC) when entering the United States.  Mexican nationals can also apply for membership in DHS Trusted Traveler Programs such as FAST (Free and Secure Trade) and SENTRI (Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection).

The current documents presented by U.S., Canadian, and Bermudian citizens arriving from within the Western Hemisphere vary widely in terms of the security and reliability as evidence of identity, status, and nationality.  This variety poses challenges for accurate identity and admissibility determinations by border officials and has been identified as a security vulnerability for cross-border travel between these countries.  It is recognized that national passports of Canada, Mexico, Bermuda (whether Bermudian or British passports) and the United States do currently, and will continue to, provide reliable evidence of identity and nationality for the purposes of cross-border travel.

Standardizing documentation requirements for travelers entering the United States in the land border environment would enhance our national security and secure and facilitate the entry process into the United States.  Limiting the number of acceptable, secure documents would allow border security officials to quickly, efficiently, accurately, and reliably review documentation, identify persons of concern to national security, and determine eligibility for entry of legitimate travelers without disrupting the critically important movement of people and goods across our land borders.  Standardizing travel documents for citizens of the United States, Canada, Bermuda, and Mexico entering the United States in the land border environment would also reduce confusion for the travel industry and make the entry process more efficient for CBP officers and the public alike.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule is required pursuant to section 7209 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, as amended by the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2007.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[CBP considered a number of regulatory alternatives to the rule.

1) Require all U.S. travelers (including children) to present a valid passport book.  This alternative would require all U.S. citizens, including minors under 16 and all cruise passengers, to present a valid passport book. The passport card, CBP trusted traveler documents, the MMD, and documents from DHS-approved pilot programs would not be accepted.  This would be a more stringent alternative, and it was rejected as potentially too costly and burdensome for low-risk populations of travelers.  While the traditional passport book will always be an acceptable document for a U.S. citizen to present upon entry to the United States, DHS and DOS believe that the cost of a traditional passport book may be too burdensome for some U.S. citizens, particularly those living in border communities where land-border crossings are an integral part of everyday life.  DHS and DOS believe that children under the age of 16 pose a low security threat in the land and sea environments and will be permitted to present a certified copy of a birth certificate when arriving in the United States at all land and sea ports-of-entry from within the Western Hemisphere. Additionally, DHS and CBP have developed an alternative procedure for children traveling in groups.  DHS and DOS have also determined that exempting certain cruise passengers from a passport requirement is the best approach to balance security and travel efficiency considerations in the cruise ship environment.

2) Require all U.S. travelers (including all children) to present a valid passport book, passport card, or other approved document.
The second alternative is similar to the proposed rule, though it includes children and does not exempt cruise passengers.  It is again more stringent than the proposed rule.  While this alternative incorporates the low-cost passport card and CBP trusted traveler cards as acceptable travel documents, this alternative was ultimately rejected as potentially too costly and burdensome for low-risk populations of travelers (certain cruise passengers and minors under 16).]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The analysis summarized here considered U.S. travelers entering the United States via land ports-of-entry on the northern and southern borders (including arrivals by ferry and pleasure boat) as well as certain cruise ship passengers.  The period of analysis is 2005-2014 (10 years).  CBP calculates costs beginning in 2005 because although the full suite of WHTI rules is not yet in place, DOS has already seen a dramatic increase in passport applications since the WHTI plan was announced in early 2005.  We account for those passports obtained prior to full implementation to more accurately estimate the economic impacts of the rule as well as to incorporate the fairly sizable percentage of travelers that currently hold passports in anticipation of the new requirements.

In addition to the traditional passport book, the Secretary of Homeland Security is designating the passport card, CBP trusted traveler cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST), the Merchant Mariner Document, and specified documents from a DHS-approved WHTI pilot program as generally acceptable travel documents for U.S. citizens to enter the United States at land and sea ports-of-entry.  Because DHS and DOS believe that children under the age of 16 pose a low security threat in the sea and land environments, U.S. children may present a certified copy of a birth certificate in lieu of the designated documents.  Additionally, DHS and DOS have determined that exempting certain cruise passengers from a passport requirement is the best approach to balance security and travel efficiency considerations in the cruise ship environment.  To meet the cruise exemptions, a passenger must board the cruise ship at a port or place within the United States and the passenger must return on the same ship to the same U.S. port or place from where he or she originally departed.

For the summary of the analysis presented here, CBP assumes that only the passport, trusted traveler cards, and the MMD are available in the first years of the analysis (recalling that the period of analysis begins in 2005 when passport cards and pilot-program documents were not yet available).  CBP also assumes that most children under 16 will not obtain a passport or passport card but will instead use alternative documentation (birth certificates).  The estimates reflect that CBP trusted traveler cards would be accepted at land and sea ports-of-entry.  Finally, CBP assumes that most of the U.S. cruise passenger population will present alternative documentation (government-issued photo ID and certified copy of birth certificate) because they meet the waiver criteria proposed.

To estimate the costs of the rule, we follow this general analytical framework
-Determine the number of U.S. travelers that will be covered.
-Determine how many already hold acceptable documents.
-Determine how many will opt to obtain passports or passport cards, and estimate their lost consumer surplus. 
-Determine how many will forgo travel instead of obtaining passports or passport cards, and estimate their lost consumer surplus.

Building on the work conducted for the 2005 DOS passport study, CBP distilled approximately 300 million annual crossings into the number of frequent (defined as at least once a year), infrequent (once every 3 years), and rare (once every 10 years) unique U.S. adult travelers.  We then estimate the number of travelers without the documentation this rulemaking proposes to be required and estimate the cost to obtain such documents.  The fee for the passport varies depending on the age of the applicant, whether or not the applicant is renewing a passport, whether or not the applicant is requesting expedited service, and whether or not the applicant obtains a passport or a passport card.  Additionally, we consider the amount of time required to obtain the document and the value of that time.  We use the 2005 DOS passport demand study and CBP statistics on the trusted traveler programs to estimate how many unique U.S. travelers already hold acceptable documents.

We estimate covered cruise passengers using data from the Maritime Administration (MARAD, 2006 data) and itineraries available on the cruise line websites (for 2007).  The overwhelming majority of Western Hemisphere cruise passengers92 percentwould fall under the proposed cruise-passenger waiver.  Passengers not covered by the waiver fall into four trade marketsAlaska (72 percent), Trans-Panama Canal (16 percent), U.S. Pacific Coast (8 percent), and Canada/New England (4 percent).  We estimate that these passengers will have to obtain a passport rather than one of the other acceptable documents because these travelers will likely have an international flight as part of their cruise vacation, and only the passport is a globally accepted travel document.  We use a comment to the August 2006 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for implementation of WHTI in the air and sea environments (71 FR 46155) from the International Council of Cruise Lines to estimate how many unique U.S. cruise travelers already hold acceptable documentation.

Based on CBPs analysis, approximately 3.2 million U.S. travelers are affected by the proposed rule in the first year of analysis (2005).  Of these, approximately 2.9 million enter through a land-border crossing (via privately owned vehicle, commercial truck, bus, train, on foot) and ferry and recreational boat landing sites.  An estimated 0.3 million are cruise passengers that do not meet the waiver criteria in the NPRM (note that over 90 percent of U.S. cruise passengers are expected to meet the proposed waiver criteria).  CBP estimates that the traveling public acquired approximately 3.2 million passports in the first year of the analysis, in the anticipation of the passport requirements, at a direct cost of $417 million.

To estimate potential forgone travel in the land environment, we derive traveler demand curves for access to Mexico and Canada based on survey responses collected in the DOS passport study.  We estimate that when the rule is implemented, the number of unique U.S. travelers to Mexico who are frequent travelers decreases by 6.5 percent, the unique U.S. travelers who are infrequent travelers decreases by 7.3 percent, and the unique U.S. travelers who are rare travelers decreases by 17.8 percent. The number of U.S. travelers visiting Canada who are frequent travelers decreases by 3.7 percent, the unique U.S. travelers who are infrequent travelers decreases by 10.7 percent, and the unique U.S. travelers who are rare travelers decreases by 10.9 percent. These estimates account for the use of a passport card for those travelers who choose to obtain one.  For unique travelers deciding to forgo future visits, their implied value for access to these countries is less than the cost of obtaining a passport card.

To estimate potential forgone travel in the relatively small number of cruises affected in the sea environment, we use a study from Coleman, Meyer, and Scheffman (2003), which described the Federal Trade Commission investigation into potential impacts of two cruise-line mergers and estimated a demand elasticity for cruise travel.  We estimate that the number of travelers decreases by 24.4 percent, 13.4 percent, 7.0 percent, and 5.6 percent for travelers on short (1 to 5 nights), medium (6 to 8 nights), long (9 to 17 nights), and very long cruises (over 17 nights) once the rule is implemented.

Costs of the rule (expressed as losses in consumer surplus) are summed by year of the analysis.  We then add the government costs of implementing WHTI over the period of analysis. Ten-year costs are $3.3 billion at the 3 percent discount rate and $2.8 billion at 7 percent.  Annualized costs are $384 million at 3 percent and $406 million at 7 percent.

Finally, because the benefits of homeland security regulations cannot readily be quantified using traditional analytical methods, we conduct a breakeven analysis to determine what the reduction in risk would have to be given the estimated costs of the implementation of WHTI (land environment only).  Using the Risk Management Solutions U.S. Terrorism Risk Model (RMS model), we estimated the critical risk reduction that would have to occur in order for the costs of the rule to equal the benefitsor break even.

The RMS model has been developed for use by the insurance industry and provides a comprehensive assessment of the overall terrorism risk from both foreign and domestic terrorist organizations. The RMS model generates a probabilistic estimate of the overall terrorism risk from loss estimates for dozens of types of potential attacks against several thousand potential targets of terrorism across the United States.  For each attack mode-target pair (constituting an individual scenario) the model accounts for the probability that a successful attack will occur and the consequences of the attack.  RMS derives attack probabilities from a semi-annual structured expert elicitation process focusing on terrorists intentions and capabilities.  It bases scenario consequences on physical modeling of attack phenomena and casts target characteristics in terms of property damage and casualties of interest to insurers.  Specifically, property damages include costs of damaged buildings, loss of building contents, and loss from business interruption associated with property to which law enforcement prohibits entry immediately following a terrorist attack. RMS classifies casualties based on injury-severity categories used by the worker compensation insurance industry.

The results in the figure below are for the cost estimates presented above and casualty costs based on willingness-to-pay estimates and a $3 million value of a statistical life (VSL).  These results show that a decrease in perceived risk leads to a smaller annualized loss and a greater critical risk reduction, and an increase in perceived risk leads to a greater annualized loss and a smaller critical risk reduction.  The total range in critical risk reduction is a factor of four and ranges from 6.6 to 26 percent, with a critical risk reduction of 13 percent required for the standard risk scenario.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inspection and Expedited Removal of Aliens; Detention and Removal of Aliens; Conduct of Removal Proceedings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Many of the provisions of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) became effective April 1, 1997. Some provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) that were not superseded by IIRIRA became effective November 1, 1996. On March 6, 1997, INS and The 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, INS and EOIR published the rule "Asylum Procedures" (INS No. 1865-97; RIN 1115-AE93), which finalized the asylum portions of this interim rule. DHS 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>Amendment of the Regulatory Definition of Arriving Alien</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the DHS 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>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 the USCIS 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[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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Immediate and Continuous Transit program, also known as the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) program and the International-to-International (ITI) program allowed an alien to be transported in-transit through the United States to another foreign country without first obtaining a nonimmigrant visa from the Department of State overseas, provided the carrier had entered into an Immediate and Continuous Transit Agreement on Form I-426, pursuant to section 233(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Both the TWOV and ITI programs were suspended due to security concerns in an interim rule published in August 2003. The Department of Homeland Security in this rule would be terminating these programs and establishing a new program allowing in-transit travelers that will incorporate necessary security measures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will propose to add a new regulation to improve the security of domestic and foreign aircraft repair stations, as required by the section 611 of Vision 100--Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act. The NPRM will propose general requirements for security programs to be adopted and implemented by repair stations certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Regulations originally were to be promulgated by August 8, 2004.  A Report to Congress was sent August 24, 2004, explaining the delay.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is proposing regulations to improve the security of domestic and foreign aircraft repair stations.  The proposed regulations will require repair stations that are certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration to adopt and carry out a security program.  The proposal will codify the scope of TSAs existing inspection program.  The proposal also will provide procedures for repair stations to seek review of any TSA determination that security measures are deficient.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Sec. 611(b)(1) of Vision 100Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (Pub.L. 108-176; 12/12/2003; 117 Stat. 2490), codified at 49 U.S.C. 44924, requires TSA to issue final regulations to ensure the security of foreign and domestic aircraft repair stations within 240 days from date of enactment of Vision 100.  Sec. 1616 of Pub.L. 110-53, Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Aug. 3, 2007; 121 Stat. 266) requires that the FAA may not certify any foreign repair stations if the regulations are not issued within one year after the date of enactment of the 9/11 Commission Act unless the repair station was previously certified or is in the process of certification.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule would enhance aviation security by supplementing existing safety regulations with requirements for repair stations to implement specific security measures to protect aircraft from commandeering, tampering, or sabotage.  The proposed security measures will mitigate the potential threat that an aircraft could be used as a weapon or be destroyed.  Using a 7 percent discount rate, TSA estimated the 10-year cost impacts for the primary scenario of this rulemaking would total $242.4 million.  This total is distributed among domestic repair stations, which would incur total costs of $119.7 million; foreign repair stations, which would incur costs of $68.9 million; and TSA-projected Federal Government costs, which would be $53.7 million.  As of March 2007, the FAA reported that there are 4,227 domestic repair stations and 694 repair stations located outside the U.S. that have an FAA certificate under part 145 of the FAAs rules.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Implementation in the Maritime Sector; Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial Drivers License</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the United States Coast Guard (Coast Guard), issued a final rule on January 25, 2007 implementing provisions of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002.  The rule requires credentialed merchant mariners and workers with unescorted access to secure areas of vessels and facilities to undergo a security threat assessment and receive a biometric credential, known as a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC).  After enrollment in a Captain of the Port Zone is complete, persons without TWICs will not be granted unescorted access to secure areas at affected maritime facilities or on vessels.  The final rule will enhances the security of ports by requiring security threat assessments of persons in secure areas and by improving access control measures to prevent those who may pose a security threat from gaining unescorted access to secure areas of ports.

In the final rule, TSA applies its security threat assessment standards that apply to commercial drivers authorized to transport hazardous materials to merchant mariners and workers who require unescorted access to secure areas on vessels and at maritime facilities.  To minimize redundant background checks of workers, TSA amended the threat assessment standards to include a process by which TSA determines if a background check conducted by another governmental agency is comparable to the standards in this rule.  TSA expanded existing appeal and waiver provisions to apply to TWIC applicants and air cargo employees who undergo a security threat assessment.  These modifications include a process for the review of adverse waiver decisions and certain disqualification cases by an administrative law judge.  TSA also extends the time period in which applicants may apply for an appeal or waiver.  The rule establishes the user fee for the TWIC and invites comment on one component of the fee, the card replacement fee.

TSA is amending the final rule to establish a new replacement card fee and to codify the existing user fees that TSA announced in the Federal Register on March 20, 2007.  In addition, TSA announces that the FBI is reducing its fee to conduct fingerprint based criminal history record checks from $22 to $17.25.  TSA is also amending the immigration standards to permit additional aliens who are lawfully present in the U.S. and have a need for a TWIC to apply for one.]]></ABSTRACT>

L. 108-458; 12/17/2004) requires that not later than January 1, 2005, TSA commence testing of an advanced passenger prescreening system; and that not later than 180 days after completion of testing, TSA begin to assume the performance of the passenger prescreening function.</LEGAL_DLINE_OVERALL_DESC>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Secure Flight program will fulfill the requirement of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA) (Pub. L. 108-458) that TSA begin to assume the pre-flight watch list matching function currently carried out by air carriers.  The NPRM would establish the regulatory basis for initiation of the Secure Flight program.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Secure Flight operational testing would exercise and validate TSAs ability to connect with the aircraft operators and the Terrorist Screening Center, receive passenger and non-traveler information, conduct watch list matching, and transmit watch list results back to the aircraft operators using live passenger data. Once the testing results achieve the programs desired efficacy levels, Secure Flight would be implemented and TSA would receive the primary responsibility for airline passenger watch list matching.  Benefits could include more accurate, timely, and comprehensive screening, and a reduction in false positives.  This would occur because Secure Flight would have access to more data than airlines with which to distinguish passengers from records in the watch lists.  Further, the airlines would be relieved of watch list matching responsibilities, and TSA would be relieved of distributing the watch lists.  Other benefits would include increased security due to the watch list matching of non-traveling individuals who request access to a sterile area.

TSA estimated the discounted 10-year costs of this rulemaking discounted at 7% would total from $1.648 billion to $2.536 billion.  Air carriers would incur total costs of $92.7 to $297.0 million, and travel agents would incur costs of $86.5 to $257.4 million.  TSA projected Federal Government costs would be from $1.114 to $1.326 billion.  The total cost of outlays would be from $1.293 billion to $1.880 billion.  Additionally, the cost to individuals (value of time) would be between $354.4 and $655.7 million.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) proposes to amend current aviation transportation security regulations to enhance the security of general aviation by expanding the scope of current requirements and by adding new requirements for certain large aircraft operators and airports serving those aircraft.  TSA is proposing that all aircraft operations, including corporate and private charter operations, with aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight (MTOW) above 12,500 pounds (large aircraft) be required to adopt a large aircraft security program.  TSA also proposes to require that certain airports that serve large aircraft to adopt security programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This NPRM would apply security measures currently in place for operators of certain types of aircraft to operators of other aircraft and enhance those measures. While the focus of TSAs existing aviation security programs has been on air carriers and commercial operators, TSA is aware that general aviation aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight (MTOW) of over 12,500 pounds (large aircraft) may be vulnerable to terrorist activity.  These aircraft are of sufficient size and weight to inflict significant damage and loss of lives if they are hijacked and used as missiles.  TSA has current regulations that apply to large aircraft operated by air carriers and commercial operators, including the twelve five program, partial program, and the private charter program.  However, the current regulations do not cover all general aviation operations, such as those operated by corporations and individuals, and such operations do not have all the features that we believe are necessary to enhance their security.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule would yield benefits in the areas of security and quality governance.  The security and governance benefits are four-fold.  First, the rule would enhance security by expanding the mandatory use of security measures to certain operators of large aircraft that are not currently required to have a security plan.  These measures would deter malicious individuals from perpetrating acts that might compromise transportation or national security by using large aircraft for these purposes.  Second, it would harmonize, as appropriate, security measures used by a single operator in its various operations and between different operators.  Third, the new periodic audits of security programs would augment TSAs efforts to ensure that large aircraft operators are in compliance with their security programs.  Finally, it would consolidate the regulatory framework for large aircraft operators that currently operate under a variety of security programs, thus simplifying the regulations and allowing for better governance. 

TSA estimated the total 10-year cost of the program would be $1.2 billion, discounted at 7%. Aircraft operators, airport operators, and the Transportation Security Administration would incur costs to comply with the requirements of the proposed Large Aircraft Security Program rule.  Aircraft operator costs comprise 88.6% of all estimated expenses.  TSA estimated approximately 9,000 general aviation aircraft operators use aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight exceeding 12,500 pounds and would thus newly be subject to the proposed rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is proposing to revise its regulations governing the protection of Sensitive Security Information (SSI) to implement sec. 525(d) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations Act of 2007, which grants civil litigants or their counsel who do not currently have a need to know SSI access to specific SSI in Federal district court proceedings, if certain requirements are met.  Sensitive Security Information is primarily information that would be detrimental to transportation security or safety if publicly disclosed.  This proposed rule would establish an administrative process by which a limited number of individuals representing parties in Federal civil court proceedings would apply to TSA for access to SSI for use in the litigation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rail Transportation Security</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will be issuing requirements in this rulemaking action to enhance the security of our Nations rail transportation system.  Regulated entities would include freight railroad carriers; intercity, commuter, and short-haul passenger train service providers; rail transit systems; and operators of certain fixed-site facilities that ship or receive specified categories and quantities of rail security-sensitive materials by rail. 

This rulemaking will codify the scope of TSAs existing inspection program and require regulated parties to allow TSA and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials to enter, inspect, and test property, facilities, conveyances, and records relevant to rail security.  This action will also require that regulated parties designate rail security coordinators and report significant security concerns to DHS.  

TSA further will identify a list of rail sensitive-security materials and require that freight rail carriers and certain facilities handling rail security-sensitive materials be equipped to report location and shipping information to TSA upon request and to implement chain of custody requirements to ensure a positive and secure exchange of specified hazardous materials.  In this action, TSA will also clarify and extend the sensitive security information (SSI) protections to cover certain information associated with rail transportation.

This action will allow TSA to enhance rail security by coordinating its activities with other Federal agencies, which would also avoid duplicative inspections and minimize the compliance burden on the regulated parties.  This rule is intended to augment existing rail transportation laws and regulations that the Department of Transportation (DOT) administers.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is issuing a final rule to establish security requirements for freight railroad carriers; intercity, commuter, and short-haul passenger train service providers; rail transit systems; and rail operations at certain fixed-site facilities that ship or receive specified hazardous materials by rail.  This rule codifies the scope of TSAs existing inspection program and requires regulated parties to allow TSA and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials to enter, inspect, and test property, facilities, and records relevant to rail security.  This rule also requires that regulated parties designate rail security coordinators and report significant security concerns to DHS.  This final rule focuses on shipments of certain hazardous materials, establishing chain of custody and control procedures, reporting of location and shipping information to TSA upon request, and other measures for rail cars that pose the greatest security vulnerabilities.  TSA also clarifies and amends the sensitive security information (SSI) protections to cover certain information associated with rail transportation.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[TSA has the responsibility for enhancing security in all modes of transportation.  Under ATSA, and delegated authority from the Secretary of Homeland Security, TSA has broad responsibility and authority for "security in all modes of transportation * * * including security responsibilities" over modes of transportation that are exercised by the Department of Transportation.  TSA's authority with respect to transportation security is comprehensive and supported with specific powers related to the development and enforcement of regulations, security directives, security plans, and other requirements.  Accordingly, under this authority, TSA may assess a security risk for any mode of transportation, develop security measures for dealing with that risk, and enforce compliance with those measures.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The primary estimate of the total ten-year cost of the final rule discounted at 7% is from $153 million to $174 million.  The main costs are from the chain of custody and location reporting requirements.

The final rule will enhance rail transportation security by imposing national requirements to appoint rail security coordinators, report significant security concerns, and implement location reporting and chain of custody requirements.  In addition, the broad inspection authorities codified in the final rule may help identify vulnerabilities in rail transportation that should be addressed in future rulemakings or through other mechanisms.  Finally, changes to the SSI provisions will allow access to information by State, local, and tribal authorities that may assist them in addressing security threats.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Aviation Security Infrastructure Fees (ASIF)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will take final action on the February 20, 2002, interim final rule (IFR) by completing an economic analysis and responding to comments received.

The IFR established the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF) imposed on air carriers and foreign air carriers in air transportation, foreign air transportation, and intrastate air transportation to help defray TSA's costs of providing U.S. civil aviation security services.

The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) (Pub. L. 107-71; 11/19/2001), codified at 49 U.S.C. 44940, requires TSA to impose a uniform fee, the "September 11th Security Fee," on certain aviation passengers at no more than $2.50 per enplanement originating in the United States, up to $5.00 per one-way trip and $10.00 per round trip.

To the extent that TSA estimates that the September 11th Security Fee will not cover TSAs estimated annual costs for providing specified security services, ATSA authorizes TSA to impose a second fee, the ASIF, on carriers based on the costs they incurred for screening passengers and property in calendar year 2000.  Beginning in fiscal year 2005, TSA may change the way the ASIF is apportioned among air carriers according to a carriers market share or other appropriate measure, in lieu of the carriers actual screening costs in calendar year 2000.  See 49 U.S.C. 44940(2)(B)(iii).  Reapportionment of the ASIF will not be the subject of this rulemaking and may be the subject of a separate rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Civil Aviation Security Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 28, 2001 (66 FR 67117), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) pursuant to the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (Pub. L. 107-71; 11/19/2001), published a final rule amending 49 U.S.C. part 1, to reflect the new DOT operating administration (TSA) and its general responsibilities.

On February 22, 2002, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published a final rule, with a request for comments, transferring the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) rules (14 CFR) governing civil aviation security to TSA (49 CFR). That rulemaking also amended those rules to enhance security as required by ATSA, codified at 49 U.S.C. 44940. ATSA requires that by November 19, 2002, the responsibility for inspecting persons and property carried by aircraft operators and foreign air carriers be transferred to TSA and that TSA make a number of improvements to aviation security screening in the United States; including that screening of individuals and property be conducted by TSA employees and companies under contract with TSA; enhanced qualifications and training of screeners; and that Federal law enforcement officers be present at screening locations.

It was intended to improve the quality of screening conducted by aircraft operators and foreign air carriers; to improve the qualifications of individuals performing screening, and thereby to improve the level of security in air transportation.  The rule helped ensure a smooth transition of aviation security from the FAA to TSA, and avoided disruptions in air transportation due to any shortage of qualified screeners.  TSA has conducted a number of other rulemakings that have addressed issues raised in many of the 2002 rule comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Programs for Aircraft Weighing 12,500 Pounds or More</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 22, 2002, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published the interim final rule, known as the "Twelve-Five Rule," which requires operators of aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or more to implement a TSA-approved security program, known as the "Twelve-Five Security Program."  The rule also requires that certain aircraft operators conduct criminal history records checks on their flight crew members, and restrict access to the flight deck. These measures were necessary to comply with congressional mandates and to enhance security in air transportation. 

Security programs constitute sensitive security information (SSI), which are disclosed only to persons with a need to know, in accordance with 49 CFR part 1520.  Therefore, the proposed Twelve-Five Security Program was distributed for comment only to the operators subject to the rule and comments received which contained SSI were responded to, but not made public.  TSA received comments on the proposed security program and amended the program, where appropriate, to accommodate the comments received.  TSA provided the final security program to affected entities, and completed a training program for the operators to use to ensure that they operate in accordance with the final security program.  In addition, TSA developed a fingerprint collection process that enables all affected operators to complete the fingerprint-based criminal history records checks of their flight crew members, as required by the Twelve-Five Rule.  Affected operators were required to be in compliance with the rule by April 1, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Private Charter Security Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published the final rule, known as the "Private Charter Rule," on December 31, 2002, which amends the requirements applying to private charter passenger aircraft by increasing the level of security required in private charter operations.  TSA adopted an international security standard, in which private charter operations in aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight (MTOW) greater than 45,500 kg (100,309.3 pounds), or with a passenger seating configuration of 61 or more, are required to ensure that passengers and their accessible property are screened prior to boarding.

In response to section 132(a) of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) requirement that TSA implement an aviation security program for charter air carriers, TSA published a final rule on February 22, 2002, known as the "Twelve-Five Rule." The rule required operators of aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or more to implement a TSA-approved security program, known as the "Twelve-Five Security Program."

In June 2002, TSA issued another final rule request for comments, which required private charter operators using aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 95,000 pounds or more, to ensure that passengers and their carry-on baggage are screened prior to boarding.  However, in response to the comments received from this rule and after further analysis, TSA determined that this threshold did not adequately capture the appropriate group of aircraft, so TSA published a further amendment in December 2002, adopting the international security standard above for private charter operations.  As a result of this current amendment, additional aircraft are now covered by the rule that were not previously subject to it.  TSA established a new compliance date for operators of these aircraft, in order to provide them sufficient time to develop procedures required by this rule and the security program.  Also, in response to comments received, TSA is permitting the use of non-TSA screeners in certain circumstances.

Security programs constitute sensitive security information (SSI), which can be disclosed only to persons with a need to know, in accordance with 49 CFR part 1520.  Therefore, the proposed private charter security program was distributed for comment only to the operators subject to the rule.  TSA received comments on the proposed security program and amended the program, where appropriate, to accommodate the comments received.  TSA provided the final security program to affected entities, and completed a training program for the operators to use to ensure that they operate in accordance with the security program.  Affected operators were required to be in compliance with the rule by April 1, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Sensitive Security Information (SSI)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will take final action on the May 18, 2004, interim final rule (IFR) by responding to comments received. 

In the IFR, published jointly with the Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) in May 2004, TSA revised its sensitive security information (SSI) regulations to expand the 2002 regulatory framework governing information generally related to aviation security to cover information related to security in maritime transportation, consistent with the security framework required by the U.S. Coast Guards regulations implementing the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA).  This expansion was the main theme of the IFR.  However, the IFR also continued TSA's 2002 regulations coverage for vulnerability assessments and, with some changes, certain other SSI for all modes.  

TSA and OST issued a technical amendment to the IFR in January 2005 to address provisions of the regulations that inadvertently restricted sharing of SSI.  Specifically, the amendment removed the limiting words "aviation or maritime" from 49 CFR 15.11 and 49 CFR 1520.11 in order to clearly permit the sharing of vulnerability assessments and other documents properly designated as SSI with covered persons who meet the need to know requirements regardless of mode of transportation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Criminal History Records Checks (CHRC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule, published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on December 6, 2001, required each airport operator and aircraft operator that had adopted a security program under 14 CFR parts 107 or 108 to conduct fingerprint-based criminal history record checks (CHRC) for individuals, if they had not already undergone CHRCs. The rule applied to those who either have, or apply for unescorted access authority to the Security Identification Display Area (SIDA) of an airport; authority to authorize others to have unescorted access; and screening functions. The FAA determined the rule was needed because the then current employment investigation method was not adequate and to ensure that individuals in these positions did 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.  TSA plans to amend parts 1542 and 1544 to make technical changes and improve organization and clarity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation of Explosives From Canada to the United States Via Commercial Motor Vehicle and Railroad Carrier</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Interim Final Rule (IFR), published by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on February 6, 2003, addressed security issues regarding transportation of explosives by commercial motor vehicles and railroads. It established requirements applicable to all motor carriers, motor private carriers, and railroad carriers not using U.S. citizens or lawful permanent aliens as drivers or railroad crews licensed in Canada to transport explosives to the United States.

In August 2006, TSA issued an IFR superseding this February 2003 IFR as it relates to motor carriers (See RIN No. 1652-AA50).  This was further amended by the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) final rule, issued January 25, 2007 (RIN No. 1652-AA41).  In the future, TSA plans to issue a rulemaking action for the rail sector.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Threat Assessment for Individuals Applying for a Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial Driver&apos;s License</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will take final action on the November 24, 2004, interim final rule by responding to comments.

This action, initiated with a rule published on May 5, 2003, implements requirements in the Safe Explosives Act and the USA Patriot Act, relating to security threat assessments of commercial truck drivers who are authorized to transport hazardous materials.  

This rule amends the May 5th rule by providing additional guidance to the States and industry on the process for collecting fingerprints and information from commercial drivers who apply to obtain or renew a hazardous materials endorsement. In addition, the rule requires the States to formally decide whether they will collect this information or whether TSA will complete the collection. TSA has added definitions and made organizational and substantive changes to the current standards codified at 49 CFR part 1572.  

The rule will move the start date of the fingerprint-based checks for transfer and renewal applicants. TSA will make these changes in response to comments received from the affected parties and to clarify further the implementation of this program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flight Training for Aliens and Other Designated Individuals; Security Awareness Training for Flight School Employees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will take final action on the September 20, 2004, interim final rule (IFR) by completing a regulatory analysis, amending the rule to incorporate the exemptions and interpretations, and responding to comments received.

The IFR was published on September 20, 2004 (69 FR 56324).  After comments were received, new exemptions and interpretations were issued.  The IFR created a new part 1552, Flight Schools, in title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This IFR applies to flight schools and to individuals who apply to obtain flight training.  

The IFR is requiring flight schools to notify TSA when aliens and other individuals designated by TSA apply for flight training.  TSA has established standards relating to the security threat assessment process that TSA will conduct to determine whether such individuals are a threat to aviation or national security, and thus prohibited from receiving flight training.  In addition, TSA has established a fee to cover a portion of the costs of the security threat assessments that TSA will perform under this rule.  Finally, TSA has established standards relating to security awareness training for certain flight school employees.  

These requirements will help ensure that individuals who intend to use aircraft to perform terrorist attacks in the United States do not obtain flight training that would enable them to do so.  These requirements also will improve security at flight schools.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Maryland Three Airports:  Enhanced Security Procedures for Operations at Certain Airports in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area Flight Restricted Zone
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Interim Final Rule (IFR), published by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on February 10, 2005, creates a new part 1562, subpart A, for General Aviation, in title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The IFR transfers responsibility for ground security requirements and procedures at three Maryland airports: College Park Airport (CGS), Potomac Airfield (VKX), and Washington Executive/Hyde Field (W32) that are located within the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ); and for individuals operating aircraft to and from these airports, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to TSA. These airports are referred to as the "Maryland Three Airports."

These requirements and procedures were previously issued by the FAA, in coordination with TSA, in Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 94. TSA assumed responsibility for these requirements and procedures because TSA and FAA agree that they are best handled under TSAs authority over transportation security. These requirements and procedures will continue to enhance the security of the critical infrastructure and Federal Government assets in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF) (Market Share)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will seek comment on a proposed revision to the method for apportioning the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF) among air carriers. The ASIF is a fee imposed on air carriers and foreign air carriers to help pay the Governments costs of providing civil aviation security services.

Starting in fiscal year 2005, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) (Pub. L. 107-71; 11/19/2001), authorizes TSA to change the methodology for imposing the ASIF on air carriers and foreign air carriers from a system based on their 2000 screening costs to a system based on market share or other appropriate measures.   

On November 5, 2003, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published a notice requesting comment on possible changes in order to allow for open industry and public input before beginning the formal rulemaking process for changing this fee.

TSA sought comments on issues regarding how to impose the ASIF, and whether, when, and how often the ASIF should be adjusted. The comment period was extended on the notice for an additional 30 days, until February 5, 2004.  TSA is considering a market share methodology for implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule applies to all passenger aircraft operations into or out of DCA, except foreign air carrier operations operating under 49 CFR part 1546.101(a) or (b) and U.S. air carrier operations operating under a full security program required by 49 CFR part 1544.  The rule establishes security procedures for aircraft operators and gateway airport operators, and security requirements relating to crewmembers, passengers, and law enforcement officers onboard aircraft operating to or from DCA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Drivers Licensed in Canada or Mexico Transporting Hazardous Materials Within the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Interim Final Rule (IFR), published by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on August 7, 2006, announced that a commercial motor vehicle driver licensed in Canada or Mexico who holds a Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program card may use that card as an acceptable credential to transport placarded amounts of hazardous materials or any quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR part 73 within the United States.  The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) requires that, as of August 10, 2006, commercial motor vehicle drivers licensed in Canada or Mexico who transport hazardous materials in the United States must undergo a background check similar to the one required of U.S.-licensed operators with a hazardous materials endorsement (HME) on a commercial drivers license (CDL).  This rule announced TSA's determination that the background check required to obtain a credential under the FAST program meets the background check requirements of SAFETEA-LU.  This interim rule also removed TSA's pre-existing 49 CFR 1572.201 procedures for commercial drivers licensed in Canada who transport explosives into the United States (See RIN No. 1652-AA16).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Cargo Security Requirements; Compliance Dates; Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is further extending the compliance dates for Air Cargo Security requirements.  Since extension of the security threat assessment (STA) deadlines in October 2006, TSA has encountered technical problems that will delay TSAs ability to process the large number of STA applications for air cargo employees, agents and indirect air carrier (IAC) proprietors, general partners, officers, directors, and certain owners of the entity (IAC proprietors).  While TSA is working diligently on these problems, we are unable to determine at this time when these technical problems will be resolved.  Accordingly, by Interim Final Rule, request for comments issued March 20, 2007, TSA is extending the compliance deadlines for STAs for employees of aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and IACs under sections 1544.228, 1546.213, 1548.15, and for IAC proprietors, general partners, officers, directors, and certain owners of the entity under 1548.16 from March 15, 2007, to a requirement that the operators submit names and other identifying information to TSA by May 15, 2007.  Also, the STAs for agents under sections 1544.228, 1546.213, and 1548.15 is extended from June 15, 2007, to a requirement that the operators submit names and other identifying information to TSA by July 15, 2007.  The date that all covered individuals must have successfully completed the STAs is extended to a date that TSA will specify in a future rule in the Federal Register. 

In the Interim Final Rule (IFR), request for comments (published October 25, 2006), TSA amended the Air Cargo Security Requirements final rule published May 26, 2006 (71 FR 30478), corrected June 2, 2006 (71 FR 31964) and June 8, 2006 (71 FR 33254), and effective October 23, 2006, by extending the compliance dates.  TSA concluded that the regulated community would be unable to meet some deadlines in the Air Cargo final rule because of the large number of employees and agents subject to the requirements.  This action extended the compliance dates for STAs for employees of aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and IACs under sections 1544.228, 1546.213, 1548.15, and IAC proprietors, general partners, officers, directors and certain owners of the entity under section 1548.16 to March 15, 2007.  TSA also extended the compliance date for STAs for agents of these entities to June 15, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Amendments Relating To Immigration Surety 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 concerns the computation of interest on cash bonds. It does not mention the Treasury Department 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishing Procedures for Recertification of Schools Approved by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) To Enroll F or M Nonimmigrant Students</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule amends DHS regulations governing recertification of schools approved by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) for attendance by F or M nonimmigrant students.  It establishes petition procedures, supporting documentation requirements, and sets the fee payment for recertification, adds a provision to allow a school to voluntarily withdraw from its certification, and clarifies procedures for school operation regarding nonimmigrant students during the review process and following withdrawal of certification. 

On October 30, 2001, the President issued Homeland Security Directive No. 2, requiring periodic reviews of all institutions certified to receive nonimmigrant students.  The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (Border Security Act), Public Law 107-173, enacted May 14, 2002, also requires a periodic review of approved schools every two years.  This rule is being promulgated consistent with these mandates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Strengthening Control Over Immigration Surety Bonds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department continues to experience problems collecting the funds for breached surety bonds. Several surety companies and/or their bonding agents continue to circumvent administrative remedies to address immigration surety bond claims sent out by the Department and have evaded the judicial review process.

This rule proposes to strengthen the Department's control over the collection of immigration surety bonds by improving current DHS procedures and by providing the Department with stronger enforcement measures. Specifically, this rule will require surety companies and bonding agents to exhaust administrative remedies by using the Department's appeal procedures, as a prerequisite to challenging the Department's actions under the Administrative Procedures Act, before seeking judicial review of DHS actions. Also, this rule limits the exposure of the Department in cases where bonding agents have acted improperly or where authorities have been denied by their corporate principals; and encourages surety companies and bonding agents to respond early if there are any issues or disputes with the Department's claim. Further, the rule formalizes DHS' reporting requirements to the Department of Treasury and provides notification to the Treasury of high dollar volume of unpaid debt over 90 days old. Lastly, the rule adds an enforcement measure 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 Department receives funds owed by the surety companies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Detention of Aliens Subject to Final Orders of Removal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule addresses comments received upon publication of the interim rule on November 14, 2001. The rule was to be published as a proposed rule as significant structural changes were made to custody review procedures governing the detention of aliens who are the subject of an administratively final order of removal, exclusion, or deportation. The rule was initially revised in light of the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Zadvydas v. Davis. With a new decision by the Supreme Court, Clark v. Martinez, the rule requires further substantive revisions to conform to the ruling in Martinez. In this case, the Supreme Court has refined its interpretation of INA 241(a)(6) and further limited detention of certain aliens subject to administratively final orders of removal, exclusion or deportation where the alien's removal is not significantly likely in the reasonably foreseeable future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department regulations on the period of time after an alien's arrest within which the Department must make a determination whether the alien will be continued in custody or released on bond or recognizance and whether to issue a notice to appear and warrant of arrest. This rule provides that unless voluntary departure has been granted, DHS must make such determinations within 48 hours of arrest, except in the event of emergency or other extraordinary circumstance in which case the Department must make such determinations within an additional reasonable period of time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes in Registration Policies and Monitoring of Certain Nonimmigrants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends DHS regulations for the registration and monitoring of certain nonimmigrant aliens. This rule amends existing regulations by suspending the 30-day and annual re-registration requirements for aliens who are subject to the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) registration. Instead of requiring all aliens subject to NSEERS to appear for 30-day and/or annual registration interviews, DHS will utilize a more tailored system in which it will notify individual aliens of future registration requirements. This rule also eliminates the requirement for those nonimmigrant aliens subject to special registration who are also enrolled in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) to separately notify DHS of changes in educational institutions and addresses. Additionally, this rule clarifies how nonimmigrant aliens may apply for relief from special registration requirements and clarifies that certain alien crewmen are not subject to the departure requirements. Finally, certain conforming amendments have been made to existing regulations to reflect that the former Immigration and Naturalization Service has been abolished and its functions transferred from the Department of Justice to DHS, under the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (HSA), Public Law 107-296.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extending the Period of Duration of Status for Certain F and J Nonimmigrant Aliens</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule amended DHS regulations to provide that the Secretary 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 was a necessary stopgap measure because of a 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 were unable to change their nonimmigrant status for the remainder of a given fiscal year because of the cap on H-1B petitions. This rule allows such aliens to avoid a lapse in their status because of a circumstance that is not under their control.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule continues the implementation of the process by which schools may be approved to obtain access to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). On October 30, 2001, the President issued Homeland Security Directive No. 2 requiring DHS 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.  While DHS had in place an existing process for certifying and decertifying schools, DHS requires all previously approved schools to apply for certification in accordance with these new mandates cited above, prior to being allowed to enroll in SEVIS.]]></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 course load if the nonimmigrant maintained residence in their home country of Mexico or Canada and commuted to schools within 75 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 course load for border commuter students within the F-1 and M-1 visa categories. When this rule is made effective, any student from Canada or Mexico wishing to enroll in a reduced course load for purposes of commuting must obtain an F-3 or an M-3 visa accordingly. The F-3 and M-3 visa holders will be tracked in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) administered by DHS and the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), a component of Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Department of State (DOS) has 10 flight training programs that are validated to enroll exchange visitors.  This number is so small that it is administratively inefficient and resource-intensive to manage.  DHS has between 100 to 200 flight training programs, which are certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).  DOS has requested that its 10 programs be incorporated into DHS.  As a group that is of special interest for national security, it is important that DHS provide efficient and effective oversight of flight training programs.  The DOS programs concern J visa; the DHS programs are in F and M visa categories.  Rules between SEVP and DOS programs differ significantly and need to be modified accordingly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification of Criteria for Certification, Oversight, and Recertification of Schools by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) To Enroll F or M Nonimmigrant Students</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2001, the President issued Homeland Security Directive No. 2, requiring periodic reviews of all institutions certified to accept nonimmigrant students. The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (Border Security Act), enacted May 12, 2004, also requires a periodic review of approved schools every two years. 

This rule proposes to amend DHS regulations governing certification, oversight and recertification of schools approved by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) for attendance by F or M nonimmigrant students. The proposed rule clarifies criteria for initial certification and for recertification of SEVP certified schools every two years.  The rule sets the fee amount for certification at a rate that incorporates all cost of implementing the certification process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>A Voluntary Program To Reduce the Employment of Unauthorized Aliens, the ICE Mutual Agreement Between Government and Employers (IMAGE)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 26, 2006, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced a new initiative to help employers, through voluntary partnerships with the government, ensure they are employing a legal workforce. The ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program is designed to foster cooperative relationships  between government and business, strengthen hiring practices, and provide employers with additional means, above what is required by current law, to reduce the unlawful employment of aliens. The initiative also seeks to accomplish greater industry compliance and corporate due diligence through enhanced Federal training and employer education.

The DHS U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) proposes to amend the regulations relating to the unlawful employment of aliens.  The proposed rule states the requirements and application procedures for program participation, the program benefits, the circumstances under which employers may be terminated from the program, and a procedure for employers to appeal termination.  IMAGE "best practice" guidelines, including participation in the Employment Eligibility Verification (E-Verify) program, a program that enables employers to verify through the Internet, the work authorization of employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safe-Harbor Procedures for Employers Who Receive a No-Match Letter</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hereby amends the regulations relating to the unlawful hiring or continued employment of unauthorized aliens.  The amended regulations describes the legal obligations of an employer, under current immigration law, when the employer receives a no-match letter from the Social Security Administration or the Department of Homeland Security.  It also describes "safe harbor" procedures an employer can follow in response to such a letter and thereby be certain that the Department of Homeland Security will not use the letter as part of an allegation that the employer had constructive knowledge that the employee referred to in the letter was an alien not authorized to work in the United States.  The rule adds two more examples of situations that may lead to a finding that an employer has constructive knowledge to the current regulation's definition of "knowing."  These additional two examples involve an employers failing to take reasonable steps in response to one or the other of two events:  (1) The employer receives written notice from the Social Security Administration (SSA) that the name and social security account number submitted for an employee do not match SSA records; or (2) the employer receives written notice from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that the immigration-status or employment-authorization documentation presented or referenced by the employee in completing Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, was not assigned to the employee according to DHS records.  (Form I-9 is retained by the employer and made available to DHS investigators on request, such as during an audit.)  The rule also describes steps that DHS considers to be a reasonable response, and clarifies that whether DHS will find that an employer had constructive knowledge that an employee was an unauthorized alien will depend on the totality of relevant circumstances.  The "safe-harbor" procedures include attempting to resolve the no-match and, if it cannot be resolved within a certain period of time, verifying again the employee's identity and employment authorization through a specified process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking implements the Special Community Disaster Loans Program authorized in the Community Disaster Loan Act of 2005.  This rule describes the procedures and requirements for a program designed to provide loans for essential services to local governments that have experienced a loss in revenue due to a major disaster.  It will also include a cancellation provision as provided by the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, for certain community disaster loans previously authorized by Congress in the Community Disaster Loan Act of 2005 and the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006.  Finally, the proposed rule is intended to make technical corrections to organizational titles as a result of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006.  These regulations do not apply to the traditional Community Disaster Loans Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Community Disaster Loan Act of 2005 (Pub.

L. 109-62), to provide up to $1 billion in loan authority.  The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006, (Pub. L. 109-234), authorized an additional $371,733,000 in loans authorized under the Community Disaster Loan Act of 2005.  The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, (Pub.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FEMA is publishing this proposed rule to implement subsection 205(b) of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, which amends section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, to create a Federal cost-share reduction for eligible public facilities that have been damaged on more than one occasion within the preceding 10-year period and the owner of which failed to implement appropriate mitigation measures.  To meet the requirements of this amendment, the proposed regulation reduces the Federal share of eligible funding to 25 percent if appropriate mitigation measures have not been accomplished on a repetitively damaged facility.]]></ABSTRACT>

The interim final rule established the mechanism through which FEMA distributed these funds.  As of July 2007 all funds had been distributed, and the agency is working to finalize this rulemaking project.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flood Mitigation Grants and Hazard Mitigation Planning</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement section 1361A of The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, (the Act), which authorizes FEMA to implement a Pilot Program that would provide financial assistance to States and communities for activities to mitigate the risk of damage from future flooding to severe repetitive loss properties. The Pilot Program represents a concentrated effort to mitigate those insured properties that have suffered the greatest amount of damage in terms of claims against the National Flood Insurance Fund.  Severe repetitive loss properties are defined in section 1361A(b)(1) of the Act as Single Family Properties consisting of one to four family residences that are covered under a contract for flood insurance made available under the Act which have had four or more claims with each claim exceeding $5,000 and with the cumulative payments exceeding $20,000, or which have had at least two claim payments that cumulatively exceed the value of the property. The rule will identify program requirements including eligibility and matching requirements, as well as procedures for grant application, evaluation, award, and appeals. It will also implement provisions of the law that set forth implications for property owners who decline a mitigation offer under the Pilot Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP); Assistance to Private Sector Property Insurers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule would amend portions of the Financial Assistance/Subsidy Arrangement (Arrangement) between Write-Your-Own (WYO) companies and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  In this rule, FEMA expects to add a provision to the Arrangement to maintain WYO companies cooperation in helping ensure that property insurance agents writing flood insurance under the NFIP avail themselves of the training opportunities needed to meet the minimum NFIP training requirements called for in the Bunning-Bereuter-Blumenauer Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004.  In addition, FEMA would amend the way it communicates changes to the Unallocated Loss Adjustment Expenses (ULAE) compensation rate to WYO companies.  Finally, FEMA expects to revise the Arrangement to clarify situations when there are no funds available in the National Flood Insurance Fund (NFIF) to be drawn down through the company letter of credit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Urban Search and Rescue Response System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security published a proposed Maximum Pay Rate Table (Table) in conjunction with its interim rule for the National Urban Search and Rescue Response (US&R) System, which was also published in the same edition of the Federal Register. The interim rule standardizes the financing, administration, and operation of the US&R System, and standardizes the relationships between DHS and Sponsoring Agencies of the US&R System--those State or local government agencies that agree to organize and administer a US&R Task Force. The notice seeks comment on the proposed Table, which establishes the maximum rates that DHS will pay for US&R Task Force physicians, engineers, and canine handlers as Affiliated Personnel or for backfill positions for activated US&R System Members employed by or otherwise associated with a for-profit Participating Agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Flood Insurance Program; Standard Flood Insurance Policy; Expansion of Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) Coverage and Prospective Payment of Flood Insurance Premiums
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule would amend the National Flood Insurance Program regulations to incorporate the statutory changes in the Bunning-Bereuter-Blumenauer Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-264) enacted on June 30, 2004. Specifically, this rule would address sections 105 (Amendments to Additional Coverage for Compliance with Land Use and Control Measures) and 209 (Prospective Payment of Flood Insurance Premiums). Section 105 authorizes the extension of Increased Cost of Compliance coverage, which currently applies when a community is enforcing its substantial damage or cumulative substantial damage ordinance, to also include those properties for which an offer of mitigation assistance is made under a variety of FEMA-funded mitigation programs. Section 209 directs that if a policyholder is determined to be paying a lower premium than is required due to an error in the floodplain determination, the higher premium may only be charged prospectively.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations are intended to replace the current regulations for public assistance insurance requirements (44 CFR part 206, subpart I). The proposed regulations detail the insurance requirements that applicants must meet to be eligible for FEMA assistance for their damaged facilities following a Presidentially-declared major disaster. Many of the changes in these proposed regulations are not new, but are intended to provide clarification concerning how FEMA handles insurance issues in the Public Assistance program. The proposed rule only addresses post-disaster insurance requirements. It does not create any predisaster insurance requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule makes a clarifying amendment to the Federal Emergency Management Agencys (FEMA) Touhy regulations.  As already provided in the Touhy regulations of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), of which FEMA is a component, FEMA is adding clarifying language to its regulations regarding the applicability of DHS regulations to any subject matter not already covered by FEMA's regulations, including but not limited to demands or requests directed to current or former FEMA contractors.  This action ensures consistency within DHS with a uniform approach and administration of Touhy regulations, and provides additional guidance and clarification with respect to agency organization and practice.   This regulation will have no substantive effect on the regulated public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would make a number of revisions to HUDs environmental regulations to reduce administrative barriers and speed environmental reviews.  This rule would expand HUDs regulatory waiver authority for certain environmental provisions where there is good cause and no adverse environmental impact will result.  This change will allow for a more streamlined and user-friendly process for environmental review.  The rule also would add an exemption to 24 CFR part 55 (floodplain management) for special projects directed to the removal of architectural barriers of properties located within floodplains.  It would also exempt minor repairs or improvements and special projects to remove architectural barriers for elderly persons and persons with disabilities.  In addition, the rule would make a number of minor conforming changes to HUDs environmental regulations.  Finally, the rule would request public comments on advance proposals to allow environmental submissions and notifications to be done electronically.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>HUD&apos;s Regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: Housing Goals (FR-4960)</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) going forward and make any necessary revisions to HUDs GSE rules to ensure that the GSEs meet statutory 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 2008.  The Secretary of HUD has general regulatory power over each GSE and is required to make such rules and regulations as necessary to ensure that the purposes of FHEFSSA and the GSEs charters are accomplished.  HUDs current GSE regulations implement FHEFSSA and include provisions relating to fair housing, new program approval, reporting, and access to information requirements.  This rule will propose revisions to clarify HUDs rules implementing FHEFSSA and carry out the Secretarys regulatory responsibilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

FHEFSSA sets forth the Secretarys responsibilities regarding the GSEs and the GSEs charters specify their public missions.  Under FHEFSSA, the Secretary must make necessary rules and regulations to ensure that the purposes of FHEFSSA and the GSEs charters are accomplished.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Department is required to establish housing goals for the GSEs pursuant to FHEFSSA (12 USC 4501 et seq.).  HUD also has general regulatory power over each GSE (12 USC 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 Department also considered leaving other provisions of the GSE rules unchanged.  However, HUD believes that some changes may be appropriate to better accomplish the purposes of the law.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rule is anticipated to have the benefit of increasing homeownership opportunities and affordable housing units for low- and moderate-income families and underserved communities and ensuring that the GSEs otherwise carry out their responsibilities under FHEFSSA.  There is no expectation that these objectives would be costly for the GSEs.  HUDs analyses have consistently indicated that meeting appropriate 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the 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).  These statutes collectively prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. These proposed amendments have been coordinated with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and are consistent with changes made by numerous Federal agencies (as coordinated by the DOJ) in a final rule published August 26, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

Specifically, HUD is adding a definition of "ability to pay," which is one of the factors used in determining the appropriateness of any amount of civil money penalties.  The revised regulations would also amend the grounds for action against mortgagees and lenders to specifically include failure to comply with indemnification and other agreements with HUD or the Mortgagee Review Board.  Additionally, the revised regulation would require respondents, in their responses to the prepenalty notice, to specifically address the factors in determining appropriateness and amount of civil money penalty, described in 24 CFR 30.80.  Finally, this rule would make other changes to conform to the authorizing statutes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mortgagee Review Board (FR-5082)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would make changes to the Department's Mortgagee Review Board regulations to reflect statutory directives and amend current practice.  This rule would modify the procedures governing sanction hearings to allow matters to move to the hearing officer directly, rather than by referral of the hearing official.  The rule would also remove the requirements that the Board approve any action or suspension or debarment.  Additional revisions proposed by this rule would remove provisions that unnecessarily duplicate the authorizing statute and would clarify the authority and duties of the Board in taking administrative action against FHA-approved mortgagees.  This rule would separate and clarify the grounds for administrative action and the factors considered by the Board in evaluating whether to take administrative action, as well as require the mortgagee to address these factors in its response to the Board's notice of violation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Limited Denial of Participation Regulations (FR-5083)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise and update the Department's Limited Denial of Participation regulation.  The regulations would be clarified to state that any act or omission that would be cause for debarment would be grounds for the issuance of an Limited Denial of Participation (LDP).  Additionally, the proposed rule would remove from the LDP regulations debarment or suspension by another Federal agency as a cause for issuance of an LDP because it is unnecessary as a majority of Federal agency suspensions and debarments have Governmentwide effect.  Lastly, this proposed rule would reinsert a provision governing the information that is to be considered in deciding whether to terminate, modify, or affirm an LDP, which was inadvertently removed in a previous modification of the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

Assistance animals work, provide assistance, or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability or are animals that provide support to an individual with an emotional-related disability.  These animals, often referred to as service animals, support animals, or therapy animals, provide disability-related functions including, but not limited to, guiding individuals who are vision or hearing-impaired to sounds or noises, providing protection or rescue assistance, pulling a wheelchair, obtaining items, alerting individuals to impending seizures and providing emotional support to persons who have a disability-related need for such support.  This rule would conform the assistance animal provisions for HUD-assisted housing that serves elderly and disabled families to the same requirements and procedures that apply to HUD's other public housing programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule would be a cross-program regulation that would affect all HUD programs.  The Department seeks to foster effective fair housing strategies and to provide clear guidance to local communities, public housing agencies, and assisted housing providers to help them in their efforts to responsibly identify and solve fair housing problems, as these recipients strive to achieve equal opportunity in housing for all.  To that end, the rule is intended to provide specific standards and the bases upon which these requirements would be measured--both for purposes of receiving HUD funds and to aid the Department in determining that recipients are in compliance with applicable requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of OMB Guidance on Non-Procurement Debarment and Suspension (FR-5071)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would relocate HUDs regulations governing nonprocurement debarment and suspension to a new part in title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  The relocation is part of a Governmentwide initiative to create one location where the public can find both the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance for grants and agreements and the associated Federal agency implementing regulations.  The new part would adopt the OMB guidance on nonprocurement debarment and suspension and supplement it with HUD-specific clarifications and additions.  The rule would also make conforming changes to HUD regulations referencing the nonprocurement debarment and suspension regulations.  This regulatory action is an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in HUD policy or procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendments To Strengthen Prevention of Predatory Lending Practices (FR-5014)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (FHEFSSA), the Secretary is responsible for establishing, monitoring, and enforcing the level of annual housing goals that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (two housing Government-Sponsored Enterprises or GSEs) are required to achieve and for determining whether a GSE will receive full, partial, or no credit towards the housing goals for mortgages each purchases or guarantees.  The Secretary is also charged with monitoring the GSEs compliance with the Fair Housing Act.  HUDs regulations prohibit goals credit for HOEPA mortgages as defined under the Home Ownership Equity Protection Act and for mortgages with unacceptable terms and conditions as defined in HUDs regulations.  The Department enacted these provisions to ensure that the GSEs do not purchase loans that actually harm borrowers and support unfair lending practices.  For that reason, HUD determined in its 2000 rulemaking, and reiterated in its 2004 rulemaking, that the GSEs should not receive the incentive of goals credit for purchasing high cost mortgages, including mortgages with unacceptable features.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule clarifies and explains the procedures governing the disclosure of commercial or financial information submitted to the Department under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This rule would revise the regulations on the procedures for release of confidential business information to enable the Department, in cases where a voluminous number of submitters are affected, to notify submitters by posting or publishing notice in a place reasonably likely to accomplish it.  This rule also describes the process to be followed by submitters seeking to object to a disclosure of commercial or financial information.  HUD is proposing to revise the regulations governing disclosure of commercial or financial information to be more efficient, efficacious, and informative in accordance with Executive Order 13392 on Improving Agency Disclosure of Information.]]></ABSTRACT>

Under the 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, at a discount, all HUD-owned, single-family homes 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 improve and sell the assets pursuant to a HUD-approved plan to encourage homeownership and revitalize the area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM): Cooperative Housing Developments (FR-4777)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would expand the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program to cover approved cooperative housing developments. The rule would implement an amendment to the National Housing Act that authorizes HUD to insure HECM mortgages in cooperative housing developments. The expansion of the HECM program, in the Department's view, would contribute to the effort to broaden reverse mortgage financing opportunities for elderly homeowners.  It would also include forward mortgages within cooperatives as well.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend HUDs regulations governing manufactured homes that are to be the security for a title II Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured mortgage.  HUD proposes to defer to the requirements established by the Model Manufactured Home Installation Standards (Model Installation Standards).  (A separate rule would establish the minimum acceptable standards nationwide for the installation and set-up of manufactured homes.)  This rule will not supplant the current installation requirements entirely, but will permit them to be used in cases of FHA refinance transactions for any existing manufactured home that is currently security for an FHA-insured loan and which met FHA requirements at the time of the original endorsement.  The  rule would also amend HUDs regulations governing manufactured homes that are to be security for a title I FHA-insured mortgage.  The proposed rule would promote affordable housing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would consolidate and amend HUD regulations relating to delinquency, default servicing, and HUD's loss mitigation program. Many of the delinquency, default servicing, and loss mitigation regulations would be redesignated into a new subpart.  The rule also includes several new provisions designed to encourage loss mitigation efforts on the part of mortgages. These amendments and reorganizations are designed to provide greater clarity and simplicity about loss mitigation requirements, strengthen efforts to minimize mortgage delinquency, and increase loss mitigation options.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FHA Insured Mortgage Loans on Condominium Projects Consisting of Fewer Than Four Units (FR-5135)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Housing Act authorizes the Secretary to issue an individual mortgage on a one-family unit in a multifamily project and an undivided interest in the projects common areas and facilities, when certain conditions are met.  HUDs regulations define project as a structure that consists of four or more units.  This rule would allow the placement of FHA-insured mortgages on units in condominium projects consisting of less than four units.  The definition of project as a structure of four or more units was established many years ago to insure proper maintenance of the condominium projects common areas.  The marketplace, however, is now accepting condominium projects of fewer than four units.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA); To Simplify and Improve the Process of Obtaining Mortgages and Reduce Consumer Costs (FR-5180)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In July and August 2005, HUD held seven roundtable discussions about possible changes to HUDs RESPA regulations with industry, including small business entities, consumers, and other interested parties.  These roundtables were held at HUD Headquarters and in the cities of Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; and Fort Worth, Texas.  HUD found the roundtable discussions to be very informative and, after further considerations of the issues and proposals raised at the roundtables and further assessment of current mortgage industry practices, HUD is proposing changes to its RESPA regulations that would improve and standardize the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) form to make it easier to use for shopping among settlement providers and help borrowers understand how yield spread premiums can affect their settlement charges.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The rule is needed to simplify and improve the process of obtaining a home mortgage, to lower costs for consumers.  The current disclosure requirements under RESPA have not been substantially revised in several years.  Under current rules, there is confusion concerning the role of the mortgage broker and how the broker is compensated.  Recent changes in the mortgage industry have heightened the need for greater clarity.  The current GFE does not necessarily result in reliable estimates for consumers or facilitate shopping, which would lead to lower costs.  Addressing these considerations in HUD's regulations can result in price reductions for consumers.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Secretary is authorized to prescribe such rules and regulations as may be necessary to achieve the purpose of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (12 USC 2617).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As noted above, the RESPA disclosure requirements have not been substantially revised in several years.  The Department tried to bring some clarity to the process through two policy statements:  a Statement of Policy on Lender Payments to Mortgage Brokers, issued on March 1, 1999, and a Clarification of the 1999 Statement of Policy, issued on October 17, 2001.  Non-regulatory alternatives were considered and acted upon, but it was determined that the changes in the marketplace and recent judicial decisions call for new regulations on the part of HUD.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Because the nations home mortgage market is a billion-dollar industry, there are costs and benefits associated with this rule that will be addressed in the Economic Analysis that will accompany the proposed rule.  The Economic Analysis will identify a wide range of benefits, costs, efficiencies, transfers and market impacts.  The effects on consumers from improved borrower shopping have the potential to be substantial as a result of this rulemaking.  Similarly, increased competition, which may result from a GFE that encourages shopping, could result in large reductions in settlement service costs, as well as possibly associated income transfers from service providers who are earning economic rents in todays system to borrowers, who most likely would be the ultimate beneficiaries of more competition among settlement service providers.  Entities that would suffer revenue losses under this rulemaking are those who now overcharge uninformed borrowers, or are high-cost producers, or are benefiting from the current systems limitations on competition.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

Regulations that establish HUDs housing for the elderly program (Section 202 program) and HUDs supportive housing for persons with disabilities program (Section 811 program) are set forth at 24 CFR part 891.  Under part 891, Section 202 and Section 811 project sponsors are prohibited from using HUD funds for certain project amenities including, but not limited to swimming pools, private balconies, dishwashers, and washers and dryers.  This rule would remove certain items from the list of restricted amenities.  Specifically, this rule would allow project sponsors to use HUD funds for dishwashers in individual supportive housing units for the elderly and independent living projects for persons with disabilities.  In addition, a clarification would be made for Section 811 group homes to allow for the inclusion of dishwashers and washers and dryers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FHA Appraiser Roster Examination (FR-5112)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule explicitly conforms eligibility requirements for applicants to the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Appraiser Roster to nationwide practice.  Only appraisers on the roster may perform required appraisals of properties that are to serve as security for FHA-insured, single-family mortgages.  Under the current regulation, an applicant must be a State-licensed or State-certified appraiser and pass a HUD examination on FHA appraisal methods and reporting.  This rule continues to include the requirement for appraisers to be State-certified or State-licensed and now also explicitly references the nationwide practice that such certification or licensing requires appraisers credentials to comply with national criteria for education, experience, and passage of a State-administered examination.  This rule also eliminates the requirement for applicants to pass a HUD test on FHA appraisal methods and reporting, because the test has become duplicative of the national criterias examination requirements and, therefore, unnecessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disposition of HUD-Owned Multifamily Projects; Purchaser&apos;s Compliance With State and Local Housing Laws and Requirements (FR-4941)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises HUDs regulations governing the disposition of multifamily projects that are HUD-owned or secured by a HUD-held mortgage that is being foreclosed to implement statutory amendments made by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004.  The rule would require a potential purchaser of such a project to certify that all other projects owned by the purchaser, and located in the same city or town as the project being purchased, are in substantial compliance with applicable State or local government housing statutes, regulations, ordinances, and codes.  A purchaser of a multifamily project from a State or local government that previously had acquired the property from HUD would also be required to submit evidence of substantial compliance with applicable State or local housing requirements.  The rule would also expand the scope of the participation and compliance requirements for HUDs Federal Housing Administration programs to include purchasers of multifamily housing projects from State or local governments, where the property had been previously been acquired by the State or local government from HUD. The rule follows publication of an August 5, 2005, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Water Supply System (FR-5017)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Current HUD mortgage insurance regulations establish minimum property standards for insured single-family housing, which include the requirement that each home with a mortgage to be insured have a continuous water supply that is capable of delivering water at a flow of 5 gallons per minute over at least 4 hours.  However, in some geographical areas and under certain conditions, it may be beneficial for HUD to insure mortgages for housing where it is not possible for the housing to have a water supply that meets this standard.  Therefore, this rule would permit HUD to insure housing with alternative water supplies under certain conditions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA); To Simplify and Improve the Process of Obtaining Mortgages and Reduce Consumer Costs (FR-4727)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In July and August 2005, HUD held seven roundtable discussions about possible changes to HUDs RESPA regulations with industry, including small business entities, consumers, and other interested parties.  These roundtables were held at HUD Headquarters and in the cities of Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; and Fort Worth, Texas.  HUD found the roundtable discussions to be very informative and, after further considerations of the issues and proposals raised at the roundtables and further assessment of current mortgage industry practices, HUD is proposing changes to its RESPA regulations that would improve and standardize the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) form to make it easier to use for shopping among settlement providers and help borrowers understand how yield spread premiums can affect their settlement charges.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Uniform Physical Condition Standards and Physical Inspection Requirements for Certain HUD Housing; Administrative Process for Assessment of Insured and Assisted Properties (FR-5070)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD assesses the physical conditions of multifamily properties and notifies owners of the assessment of their multifamily housing.  The owners, under certain circumstances, are provided an opportunity to seek a technical review of HUD's physical condition assessment, and HUD may take action in certain cases where the housing is found not to be in compliance with the physical condition standards.  In order to improve uniformity in the technical review request process, this rule would makes minor changes to the timeframes for requesting technical review.  Specifically, this change would implement a standard timeframe for the submission of a request for a technical review for both physical inspection results that are transmitted to the owner via the Internet or by hard copy by certified mail.  HUD believes that coordinating the timeframe for the request for a technical review is less confusing to its clients and multifamily field offices.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule would also eliminate the requirement for a classified balance sheet.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) (FR-4708)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program was authorized in 1990 by the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (12 U.S.C. 12901 et seq.) to provide States and localities with the programs and resources necessary to meet the housing needs of individuals and families with HIV/AIDS.  This regulation would be updated to implement an administrative provision of the Departments appropriation act for FY 2006 and FY 2007 that authorized the use of AIDS data collected over a 3-year period for determining the formula factor based on the incidence of cases of AIDS.  The regulation would update the HOPWA rental assistance requirements to make use of additional provisions and create additional options for grantees for operation of rental assistance programs.  The changes would implement provisions used in other HUD programs such as the Housing Choice voucher (Section 8) program, and thereby modernize the HOPWA regulations, which were last updated in 1994.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Development Block Grant Program; Small Cities Program (FR-5013)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend HUDs regulations governing the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for non-entitlement areas in the State of Hawaii.  Pursuant to statutory authority, the State of Hawaii elected not to administer funds to units of general local governments located in non-entitlement areas within the State.  As a result, the Secretary will make grants to the units of general local government located in Hawaiis non-entitlement areas, employing the same distribution formula as was used under prior regulations.  This rule would modify HUDs regulations to clarify how the CDBG program will be implemented in the non-entitlement areas of Hawaii.  HUD has also taken the opportunity afforded by this rule to update and streamline the subpart F regulations, particularly with regards to the HUD-administered Small Cities program in New York.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Economic Opportunities for Low- and Very Low-Income Persons (FR-4983)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise HUD's regulations found at 24 CFR part 135, which ensure that employment and other economic opportunities generated by certain HUD financial assistance shall, to the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, be directed to low- and very low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing and to business concerns which provide economic opportunities to these persons.

24 CFR part 135 was last revised to incorporate the statutory amendments of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.  The Department is currently operating under an interim section 3 rule, which was published on June 30, 1994.  This interim rule will be revised to (1) reflect certain changes in the design and implementation of the Department's program that are subject to the section 3 regulations; (2) clarify the obligations of individuals and entities subject to the requirements of section 3; (3) simplify the Department's administration of section 3 requirements; and (4) issue a final section 3 rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This reconsideration rule would allow the public to request a reconsideration of no reasonable cause determinations in Fair Housing Act complaints.  This rule will be modeled on the review process outlined in the Department's regulation promulgated under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  The section 504 regulation provides complainants the right to request a review of a letter of findings, establishes procedures for notifying parties of the request for review, and sets timeframes for response by the non-requesting party and issuance of a decision by HUD.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Statutory Changes to the Indian Housing Block Grant Program (FR-4968)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA) established the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) Program.  NAHASDA was subsequently amended several times.  In 1998, NAHASDA was amended by the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999 (Pub. L. 105-276, approved Oct. 21, 1998).  In 2000, the Omnibus Indian Advancement Act (Pub. L. 106-568, approved Dec. 27, 2000) and the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-569, approved Dec. 27, 2000) both amended NAHASDA.  In 2002, the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-292, approved Nov. 13, 2002), which also amended NAHASDA, was enacted.  These statutory amendments affected the IHBG Program.  This proposed rule would effectuate certain statutory changes to the IHBG Program, as noted above.  HUD will develop this proposed rule with input from interested tribal members through a Negotiated Rulemaking Committee.  The NAHASDA amendments that will be the subject of negotiated rulemaking may include environmental provisions, review and audit provisions, noncompliance actions, performance agreements, program income, and the definition of housing related community development.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) (FR-5094)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will revise the regulations for the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) to reflect the asset-based management requirements for public housing.  The purpose of the PHAS is to provide a management tool for effectively and fairly measuring the performance of a public housing agency (PHA) in essential housing operations, based on standards that are uniform and verifiable.  On September 19, 2005, HUD published a final rule amending the regulations for the Public Housing Operating Fund Program to provide a new formula for distributing operating subsidies to PHAs and to establish requirements for PHAs to convert to asset management.  The rule would revise the PHAS regulations to reflect the new asset-based management requirements of the September 19, 2005, Operating Fund final rule.  In particular, the rule would provide for the assessment of PHAs on a project-level, rather than on an entity-wide level.  Further, the rule would revise the PHAS regulations to assess PHAs according to an asset management model, consistent with the norms of multifamily housing rental management, including the use of project-based budgeting and project-based accounting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Census Data in the Indian Housing Block Grant Program (FR-5055)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Senate Report 109-109 accompanying the FY 2006 HUD Departments of Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 109-115), approved November 30, 2005, provides for HUD to reassess its decision through notice and comment rulemaking to use multi-race data in the computation of the Need component of the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program allocation formula.  Through the IHBG program, HUD provides Federal housing assistance to Indian tribes in a manner that recognizes the right Indian self-determination and tribal self-government.  Consistent with the language of Senate Report 109-109, this rule would solicit public comment on HUD's use of multi-race data in the computation of the IHBG program allocation formula. HUD's current regulations do not address the use of multi-race or single race census data. Accordingly, at this time, HUD is not proposing a regulatory change. Following HUD's review and consideration of the comments received on this notice, HUD may proceed with rulemaking as necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA): Revisions to the Indian Housing Block Grant Program Formula (FR-4938)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would make several revisions to the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) Program allocation formula authorized under section 302 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996.  Through the IHBG Program, HUD provides Federal housing assistance for Indian tribes in a manner that recognizes the right of Indian self-determination and tribal self-government. HUD negotiated the rule with active tribal participation and using the procedures of the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990.  The regulatory changes reflect the consensus decisions reached by HUD and the tribal representatives on ways to improve and clarify the current regulations governing the IHBG program formula.  The final rule follows publication of a February 25, 2005, proposed rule and takes  into consideration the public comments on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Self-Insurance Plans Under the Indian Housing Block Grant Program (FR-4897)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NAHASDA requires Indian Tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs) who are recipients of HUD funds to provide adequate insurance for housing that benefits from HUD assistance.  Experience has shown that private insurance companies have often been unwilling or unable to provide this service at a cost that Tribes and TDHEs can afford.  This rule would establish standards for Tribes and TDHEs to establish self-funded risk management entities to fulfill this vital function.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Housing Choice Voucher Program Homeownership Option; Eligibility of Units Not Yet Under Construction (FR-4991)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise HUDs regulations for the homeownership option authorized under the Housing Choice Voucher program.  Through the homeownership option, a public housing agency (PHA) may provide voucher assistance for an eligible family that purchases a dwelling unit for residence by the family.  The current homeownership option regulations provide that, to be eligible for purchase with voucher assistance, a unit must be either an existing unit or under construction at the time the family enters into the contract for sale.  This proposed rule would permit, under certain conditions, the use of voucher homeownership assistance for the purchase of units not yet under construction at the time the family contracts to purchase the home.  The revision will expand the housing choices available to families participating in the Housing Choice Voucher program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program regulations to clarify that IHBG funds may be used for project-based or tenant-based rental assistance in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects on behalf of a tenant receiving assistance under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996.  The rule would also specify the conditions under which such rental assistance may be provided in LIHTC projects.  The proposed regulatory amendments will clarify the IHBG program requirements and expand the availability of rental housing to eligible Indian tribal families by facilitating the coordination of LIHTC and IHBG assistance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 19, 2005, the Department published a final rule entitled "Revisions to the Public Housing Operating Fund Program," which established a new formula for determining operating subsidies for public housing agencies (PHAs) and requiring that PHAs with 250 or more units convert to asset management.  On October 24, 2005 (70 FR 61366), the Department published a notice in the Federal Register entitled "Revisions to the Public Housing Operating Fund Program; Correction to Formula Implementation Date" (Correction Notice), amending certain implementation dates. This rule modifies the transition funding percentage for Federal Fiscal Year 2007 for PHAs that will experience a decline in funding between the old and new funding formulas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Housing Operating Fund Program; Revised Transition Funding Schedule (FR-5108)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would modify HUDs regulations for transition funding under the Operating Fund Program.  The Operating Fund Program, as revised by a September 19, 2005, final rule, adopted a new formula for determining the payment of operating subsidy to public housing agencies (PHAs).  Transition funding is based on the difference in subsidy levels between the new formula and the formula in effect prior to the implementation of the September 19, 2005, final rule.  As a result of the new formula, PHAs may experience either an increase or decrease in the amount of funding that they receive.  For PHAs experiencing a decline in operating subsidy as a result of the new formula, the September 19, 2005, final rule phases-in the reduction over a period of years.  This rule would revise the schedule for those PHAs that will experience a decline in funding by extending the transition phase-in period an additional year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would extend the deadline date for Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) recipients to submit annual performance reports.  Through the IHBG program, HUD provides housing assistance to Indian tribes and tribally designated housing entities.  Currently, HUDs regulations require IHBG recipients to submit annual reports 60 days after the end of the recipients program year.  HUD believes that extending this deadline by an additional 30 days will provide IHBG recipients with a more reasonable period during which to prepare and submit their reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rights-of-Way, Principles and Procedures; Rights-of-Way Under the Mineral Leasing Act; Linear Right-of-Way Rental Payment Schedule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to amend its right-of-way regulations to update the linear right-of-way rent schedule in 43 CFR parts 2800 and 2880.  The rent schedule covers most linear rights-of-way granted under title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (FLPMA), and section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (MLA).  Those laws require the holder of a right-of-way grant to pay annually, in advance, the fair market value to occupy, use, or traverse public lands for facilities such as power lines, fiber optic lines, pipelines, roads, and ditches.  Section 367 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the Act) directs the Secretary of the Interior to update the per acre rent schedule found in 43 CFR 2806.20.  The Act requires that the BLM revise the per acre rental fee zone value schedule by state, county, and type of linear right-of-way use to reflect current land values in each zone.  The Act also requires the Secretary of Agriculture (Forest Service) to make the same revisions for rights-of-way on National Forest System (NFS) lands.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oil Shale Leasing and Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 2005 envisions a 3-step approach to the development of oil shale resources.  The first step is the creation of a limited Research, Development, and Demonstration (RDD) Leasing Program designed to evaluate and test promising oil shale technology.  Step two in the process is the completion of a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for leasing of Oil Shale and Tar Sands on public lands, with an emphasis on the most geologically prospective lands within the States of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.  The third step in the process is the creation of rules regulating the leasing and development of the oil shale.  This rule would create the regulations necessary to develop converted RDD leases and make commercial exploration, leasing, and development possible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oil and Gas Leasing and Operations--Appeals Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would replace the existing provisions for protesting the offering of certain parcels for oil and gas leasing and would bring into line the Bureau of Land Managements (BLM) oil and gas leasing processes with the best administrative practices of the Department of the Interior.  The rule would specifically address opportunities for public comment on the BLM implementing certain land use allocation decisions related to oil and gas leasing approved in a land use plan.  In addition to replacing lease protests with comments, the proposed rule would also ease the administrative burden on the Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) through a new BLM process.  The BLM would extend commenters an opportunity for administrative appeal only in those cases that the BLM has determined raise novel or important issues.  The rule would revise the BLM procedures for State Director Review of oil and gas operational issues. For the purpose of the proposed rule we would make State Director Review available only to lessees and operators.  This would effectively focus the attention of the State Directors on operational issues that can be resolved by staff trained in engineering and geology, leaving decisions regarding legal issues to the IBLA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reclamation Loan Guarantee Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Much of Reclamations water supply infrastructure was built in the early 1900s and is at or nearing the end of its design life.  In many cases, this infrastructure is in need of extraordinary maintenance work or rehabilitation. Reclamation law assigns responsibility for these costs to the projects beneficiaries, but these entities often cannot secure long-term financing from private lenders for these expenses.  This is primarily because Reclamation holds title to the facilities, leaving the entities with little or no collateral to pledge for typical loans.  
Public Law 109-451 gives the Secretary of the Interior authority to issue loan guarantees to assist in financing both rural water supply projects and extraordinary maintenance and rehabilitation.  Reclamations rule will establish the eligibility criteria and program requirements for loan guarantees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inclusion of Hoover Dam </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would include Hoover Dam within the applicability of the recently-issued "Public Conduct on Bureau of Reclamation Facilities, Lands, and Waterbodies" (43 CFR part 423), which currently applies to all Reclamation facilities except Hoover Dam. Reclamation initially decided not to include the Hoover Dam area under the new rule because that area was already subject to an existing public conduct rule, 43 CFR part 421.  However, Reclamation has since determined that, primarily for reasons of consistency in agency-wide law enforcement, it will be preferable to make all Reclamation projects subject to the same set of public conduct regulations.  This rule will also remove 43 CFR part 421 from the Code of Federal Regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Royalty Relief in Special Circumstances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MMS regulations include 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 would 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subpart J Safety regulations are 20 years old and technically and administratively out of date with MMS policies, practices, and safety requirements issued elsewhere in regional notices to lessees (NTLs) and letters to lessees (LTLs).  This proposed rule is the first phase of a planned two-phase update of the regulations.  This phase I will incorporate the NTLs and LTLs and give the requirements the force and weight of law.  Additionally, the rule will be rewritten and reformatted for added clarity and will incorporate several new pipeline design standards to technically update the design information included in the current regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

Most rights of use and easement holders need bonding to cover their obligations, so this will not increase the cost for them. This rule changes the length of time that the bond must be kept in place.  The other changes clarify existing provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MMS is seeking comments on regulatory options for the development of safety and environmental  management systems (SEMS) for operations conducted on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) under MMS jurisdiction.  The options range from voluntary implementation to establishment of a 12-element program.  MMS believes that effective use of SEMS would improve safety and environmental performance on the OCS.  Comments on the options will help MMS determine the best approach for integrating SEMS into its regulatory program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reduction in Oil and Gas Royalty Rates in the Outer Continental Shelf Under the Deep Water Royalty Relief Act </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently MMS regulations state that a lease is not entitled to royalty suspension volume (RSV) if the lease is in a field that included a lease that produced before Deep Water Royalty Relief Act.   A recent court decision held that MMS had no authority to deny royalty relief based on those circumstances. Also, where an eligible lease was placed on a field with other eligible leases, MMS regulations require that all eligible leases share the one RSV. The court held MMS has no authority to impose this restriction.  Rulemaking is necessary to conform the regulations to the court decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Distribution of Qualified OCS Gulf Revenues to Nearby States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement a provision in the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-432) that requires distributing a portion of qualified revenues collected from leases in the Gulf of Mexico to nearby States.  This Act mandates allocating monies paid by certain OCS leases based on the distance from the State coastline to the lease.  Revenues involved are from future leases in the newly opened areas of the Gulf of Mexico near Florida for the next 10 years and after 2016 from leases issued from 2007 forward in the whole Gulf of Mexico.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Incorportation by Reference--Annular Casing Pressure Management </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would incorporate the American Petroleum Institute standard API RP 90, "Annular Casing Pressure Management for Offshore Wells," into the regulations, and establish criteria for testing and departures.  API RP 90 is a guide for managing annular casing pressures that covers topics of monitoring, diagnostic testing, maximum allowable wellhead operating pressure (MAWOP), and acceptable risk level for annular casing pressure under certain parameters.  This rule would clarify departure and diagnostic testing criteria, thereby reducing the volume of departure requests sent to the Regions and reducing certain diagnostic testing preformed by industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

The hurricane bulletins increase survivability by raising design and assessment criteria for both new and existing structures.  If these bulletins are not incorporated into MMSs regulations, there is a significant chance that another hurricane event could destroy or damage many structures in the central Gulf of Mexico resulting in possible pollution and negative economic impacts from lost/decreased production.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend provisions regarding oil and natural gas production.  This is a complete rewrite of that section and addresses issues such as production rates and burning oil and flaring and venting natural gas.  Currently there are restrictions on production rates that are no longer needed and the limits on flaring and venting natural gas are open to interpretation.  The proposed rule would eliminate most restrictions on production rates and clarify flaring and venting limits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Open and Nondiscriminatory Movement of Oil and Gas as Required by the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) requires pipelines to provide open and non-discriminatory access to shippers of production.  The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has historically enforced this provision through its enforcement of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and the Interstate Commerce Act.  Beginning in the 1990s, FERC began relinquishing NGA jurisdiction over some of these pipelines.  FERC contended it still maintained authority under OCSLA; however, the Courts have ruled otherwise.  In order to provide shippers with a methodology to file complaints alleging denial of access or discriminatory access, MMS is proposing regulations to fill this regulatory gap.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed revisions are necessary because of aging OCS infrastructure and the movement of OCS facilities into deeper waters through the use of new technology.  These proposed revisions would require lease operators and pipeline right-of-way holders to: (1) Submit information on the structural integrity of their OCS platforms; (2) submit an inspection program to MMS yearly; (3) provide additional information if they propose using unbonded flexible pipe or install pipeline risers on floating platforms.  The proposed rule, at the request of industry, incorporates an industry-developed document into our regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

Under current regulations, when MMS retains this information, the permittee or third party has 5 years or less to benefit from this processing or reprocessing before the proprietary term expires.  Early release of such valuable information could cost the industry considerable sums of money.  The proprietary term can be extended only via rulemaking.  This rule would propose changes to the requirements governing release of this information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Seizure and Forfeiture Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service proposes to amend our regulations 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 we will incorporate in a second proposed rule.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Birds; Religious/Spiritual Use of Feathers by Native Americans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are planning a possible proposed rule to allow Native Americans to legally acquire non-eagle feathers for religious use. Currently, there are no regulations governing acquisition and possession of migratory bird parts and feathers (of birds other than eagles) for Native American religious use. We believe that Native American need for these parts and feathers for religious use is a compelling justification for implementation of an approved method of legal acquisition. Through this implementation, we would seek to protect the traditional religious and cultural resource values of Native Americans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to open additional national wildlife refuges to hunting and/or sport fishing and to provide refuge-specific regulations for those activities and to amend certain regulations on existing refuges in 50 CFR part 32. This is an annual update for the National Wildlife Refuge System that ensures adequate public notice of openings/changes. We operate hunting/fishing programs on refuges in furtherance of the implementation of the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 directives to facilitate compatible priority wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to reclassify the Morro shoulderband snail from endangered to threatened. This decision is based on our 5-year review for the banded dune snail, which at the time of listing we considered a single species composed of the subspecies the Morro shoulderband snail and the Chorro shoulderband snail. Current knowledge of the life history, status, and threats to these snails indicates that the Morro shoulderband snail meets the definition of threatened and the Chorro shoulderband snail does not appear to warrant the protections of the Act at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to propose to remove the Valley elderberry longhorn beetle from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife, due to recovery. This decision is based on the completed 5-year review for the species. Current knowledge of the life history, status, and threats to the beetle indicates to us that the beetle no longer meets the definition of threatened.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to change our user fees for the importation and exportation of wildlife and wildlife products by increasing these fees for 2008 through 2012. We must adjust these fees every year to cover the increased cost of providing our services. By publishing the user fee changes in advance, importers and exporters can accurately predict the costs of importing and exporting wildlife and wildlife products for several years. We also propose to remove several exemptions from our import/export license requirements, including exemptions for businesses that import or export products from several mammal species that have been bred in captivity and circuses that import or export wildlife.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose new regulations for the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge that pertain to existing general public use and recreation. These regulations would take effect in 2008 and would implement the provisions in the completed Comprehensive Conservation Plan. These regulations would also codify many existing regulations that have previously been in effect through the public notice provisions of 50 CFR 25.31 (brochures, signs, and maps). These regulations would create a new entry in the existing 50 CFR 26.34 under the State of Minnesota with references to Minnesota in the States of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to develop regulations to provide for administrative designation of the specific areas and trails on public lands on which the use of off-road vehicles (ORVs) may or may not be permitted. We also plan to describe the requirements for ORVs on areas of the National Wildlife Refuge System, describe the permit requirements for ORV use, describe what determines if/when we close existing trails to ORV use, and establish refuge-specific sections for refuge units that have special regulations concerning public access, use, and recreation. This will be done in compliance with Executive Order 11644.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to open additional national wildlife refuges to hunting and/or sport fishing, to provide refuge-specific regulations for those activities, and to amend certain regulations on existing refuges. This is an annual update for the National Wildlife Refuge System that ensures adequate public notice of openings/changes. We operate hunting/fishing programs on refuges in furtherance of directives of the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 to facilitate compatible priority wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to amend the 50 CFR 17.11 entry for the Plymouth redbelly turtle (now referred to as the northern red-bellied cooter). Information gathered as part of a status review of the species indicates the bangsi subspecies designation is not taxonomically accurate. However, threats to the cooter remain such that the endangered classification is still warranted. The amendment will only be from a subspecies to a distinct population segment, as the range of the species is not expanding or contracting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife Plants; Adding Penguin Species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are conducting a status review of 10 species of penguin to determine if listing is warranted on the List of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife. This action is in response to a petition received from the public to list 12 species. The 12 species originally included in the petition were emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri), southern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome), northern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes moseleyi (E. chrysocome moseleyi)), fiordland crested penguin (Eudyptes pachyrhynchus), erect-crested penguin (Eudyptes sclateri), macaroni penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus), white-flippered penguin (Eudyptula albosignata (E. minor albosignata)), yellow-eyed penguin (Megadyptes antipodes), African penguin (Spheniscus demersus), Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti), snares crested penguin (Eudyptes robustus), and royal penguin (Eudyptes schlegeli). We found that the petition did not contain substantial information on the snares crested and royal penguins.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Hunting; 2008 to 2009 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We promulgate annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2008-2009 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, and proposals for the 2008-2009 spring/summer migratory bird subsistence season in Alaska. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Amending Listing of Prebles Meadow Jumping Mouse (Zapus Hudsonius Preblei) To Specify Over What Portion of Its Range the Subspecies Is Threatened</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Endangered Species Act, we revise our February 2, 2005 (70 FR 5404), proposed rule to remove the Prebles meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei) from the List of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife. We propose to amend the listing for the Prebles meadow jumping mouse to specify over what portion of its range the subspecies is threatened. The best scientific and commercial information available demonstrates: (1) That the Prebles meadow jumping mouse is a valid subspecies and should not be delisted based upon taxonomic revision; (2) that the subspecies is not threatened throughout all of its range; and (3) that Colorado represents a significant portion of range (SPR) where the Prebles meadow jumping mouse is threatened with extinction within the foreseeable future and should retain its threatened status.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We proposed changes in the regulations governing the practice of falconry in the United States.  We proposed 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Withdrawal of Proposed Rule to Delist the Mexican Bobcat (Lynx Rufus Escuinapae) From the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We received a petition to delist the Mexican bobcat (Lynx rufus escuinapae), listed as endangered. We determined as a result of our status review and our review of the best available scientific information that the species does not meet the definitions of endangered or threatened in the Endangered Species Act (i.e., that delisting is warranted), so we proposed to delist it. Subsequent to the proposed rule, we received comments and additional information that conflict with information given significant weight in the proposed rule. Based on this new information, we are convinced that our assessment of the population status and taxonomic status of the Mexican bobcat in the proposed delisting rule was premature, and we have decided to withdraw the proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2006 to 2007 Refuge-Specific Hunting and Sport Fishing Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We proposed to open additional national wildlife refuges to hunting and/or sport fishing and to provide refuge-specific regulations for those activities. This is an annual update for the National Wildlife Refuge System that ensures adequate public notice of openings/changes each fall. We operate hunting/fishing programs on refuges in furtherance of the implementation of the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 directives to facilitate compatible priority wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska: 2008-2009 Subsistence Taking of Fish and Shellfish Regulations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish regulations for fishing seasons, harvest limits, methods, and means related to taking of fish and shellfish for subsistence uses during the 2008 to 2009 regulatory year. The rulemaking is necessary because subpart D is subject to an annual public review cycle. When final, this rulemaking would replace the fish and shellfish taking regulations included in the "Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, subpart D, 2007-2008 Subsistence Taking of Fish and Wildlife Regulations," which expire on March 31, 2008. This rule would also amend the Customary and Traditional Use Determinations of the Federal Subsistence Board and the general regulations related to the taking of fish and shellfish.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to change regulations governing subsistence use of wildlife in Alaska by creating an additional subsistence resource region for the Kenai Peninsula. This addition of a separate subsistence resource region will allow for the creation of a separate Federal subsistence regional advisory council for that region, which will better ensure that residents with personal knowledge of the Kenai Peninsula area will have a meaningful role in the complex issues and management challenges of the area's subsistence management.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Bald Eagles; Definition of &quot;Disturb&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish a regulatory definition of "disturb." The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act prohibits take of eagles. Take is defined by the Act to include "disturb." This rule is necessary because the bald eagle has been removed from the list of threatened wildlife under the Endangered Species Act. The BGEPA has now become the primary law protecting bald eagles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Hunting; 2007 to 2008 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We promulgate annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2007-2008 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, and proposals for the 2007-2008 spring/summer migratory bird subsistence season in Alaska. 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[In August 2006, we published final regulations (1018-AI32) authorizing State wildlife agencies to conduct indirect and/or direct population control management activities on resident Canada geese, including the take of birds. The intent of this rule was to allow State wildlife management agencies sufficient flexibility to deal with problems caused by resident Canada geese and to guide and direct Canada goose population growth and management activities in the conterminous United States. We now plan to clarify and slightly modify several program requirements regarding eligibility, definitions, methodologies, and dates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2007 to 2008 Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge Hunting and Sport Fishing Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We proposed to amend our regulations for Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge (Illinois) to reflect changes to hunting (migratory game bird, upland, and big game) and sport fishing for the 2007-2008 season. These changes stem from decisions outlined in our recently prepared environmental impact statement and comprehensive conservation plan pertaining to hunting and fishing on the refuge. We operate hunting/fishing programs on refuges in furtherance of the implementation of the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 directives to facilitate compatible priority wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will update the provisions governing use of the Colorado River and adjoining federally owned lands within Grand Canyon National Park.  Changes are necessary to make the rule consistent with, and to help implement portions of, the parks recently revised Colorado River Management Plan.  The current rule governs the use of the Colorado River within the park upstream from Diamond Creek.  In accordance with the new Colorado River Management Plan, the updated rule will regulate the use of the entire Colorado River and adjoining federally owned lands within the park, including the reach of the river from Diamond Creek to the boundary between the park and Lake Mead National Recreation Area (approximately River Mile 277).  The new rule also will update or clarify some provisions of the current regulation and will delete other provisions as unnecessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Canaveral National Seashore--Nudity </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would close all areas within Canaveral National Seashore to public nudity.  The number of nudists and confrontations with non-nudists has increased significantly over the past 15 years.  Public nudity is forcing those user groups not wishing to be exposed to nudists from over 25 percent of the seashore.  Visual contact with nudity offends individuals and restricts the park from offering educational programs, organized shoreline cleanup, walks, and other organized family activities in these areas.  Public nudity also attracts individuals that participate in lewd and lascivious acts.  This type of criminal activity is increasing annually.  Attempts have been made to establish areas for nudists where contact and conflicts with other visitors is minimal and have proven unsuccessful.  Brevard County has passed an anti-nudity ordinance, putting the National Park Service in conflict with a county law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Before establishment of Voyageurs National Park and continuing through today the use of motorized boats has been allowed on a limited number of interior lakes (approx. 6) that are not road accessible. Snowmobile use on these same lakes is permitted through special regulations.  Current regulations prohibit motorboat use on lakes not accessible by a road and therefore a special regulation is needed to allow motorboat use to continue.  Motorized watercraft was allowed before the establishment of the park in 1975 and is currently allowed by policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disposition of Archeological Materials</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule is necessary because some archeological materials subject to 36 CFR part 79 need not be preserved and maintained under Federal ownership if they are determined not to be or are no longer of archeological interest.  This determination may ultimately reduce management costs of federal archeological materials and constraints on storage space.  This rule defines a process by which disposition of archeological materials may occur.  The proposed rule focuses on disposal methods other than just discard and lays out a reasonable process for disposal that meets professional museum practices and standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Capitol Region--Parking</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the National Capital Region's special regulations regarding violations for illegally parked vehicles.  The amendment will add a provision addressing parking violations when the vehicle's driver is absent.  Absence of a provision of this type in the current regulations has resulted in the dismissal of citations and increasing numbers of parking violations.  The amendment would create a rebuttable prima facie presumption that the registered owner of an illegally parked vehicle was the person who committed the violation.  This is similar to the parking laws of many jurisdictions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disposition of Abandoned or Unclaimed Property</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would correct current regulations to reflect requirements for disposition of abandoned and unclaimed property found in the Federal Management Regulations at 41 CFR part 102-36 and part 101-48.   Current National Park Service (NPS) regulations require unclaimed property to be held for 60 days and allow the finder to claim ownership of unclaimed (found) property.  This is contrary to current Federal Management Regulations and GSA and NPS policy.  Current regulations require an agency to hold abandoned or unclaimed property for 30 days, and if not claimed by the rightful owner, then the property vests with the United States and not the finder.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement the preferred alternative in the Winter Use Plans/Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. The current regulations were intended to guide winter use management of the parks for an interim 3-year period while the long-term plan was being prepared. Within the existing rules, the provisions that authorize use of snowmobiles and snowcoaches expire at the end of the 2006-2007 winter season. Without a new rule, beginning with the 2007-2008 winter season, visitors would be unable to visit the parks on either snowmobiles or snowcoaches.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Park System Units in Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The special regulations for Alaska, 36 CFR part 13, were first adopted in 1981 as interim guidance.  While individual sections of part 13 have been amended and new sections added since 1981, there had been no comprehensive effort to revise the general and park-specific part 13 regulations until a final rule was published on January 3, 2005.   That was Phase I of a comprehensive revision, and this proposed rule is Phase II of the process.  Phase II covers subsistence use of timber, seaweed collection, river management issues, fishing closure, camping, trial use, wildlife-viewing distances, and other issues.  NPS has committed to seek special regulations in areas where they would be appropriate for the effective management of park areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will establish permit application requirements and review procedures for applications that propose to place excess spoil or coal mine waste from surface coal mining operations into waters of the United States. Among other things, it will require that mine operators minimize the creation of excess spoil and the adverse environmental impacts resulting from the construction of excess spoil fills.  In addition, it will apply the buffer requirement to all waters of the United States, not just perennial and intermittent streams, clearly specify the activities to which that requirement does and does not apply, and revise the findings required for a variance from the buffer requirement to more closely track the underlying statutory provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule will provide long-term regulatory stability by clearly specifying the activities to which the buffer requirement does and does not apply and describing the relationship between our rules and the Clean Water Act.  It also will promote environmental protection by requiring that mining operations be designed to minimize both the creation of excess spoil and adverse environmental impacts resulting from the disposal of excess spoil and coal mine waste.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[General rulemaking authority: Section 201(c)(2) of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA), 30 U.S.C. 1211(c)(2), directs the Secretary of the Interior (the Secretary), acting through OSM, to publish and promulgate such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and provisions of SMCRA.

Legal basis under SMCRA:  Sections 515(b)(10)(B)(i) and 516(b)(9)(B) of SMCRA, 30 U.S.C. 1265(b)(10)(B)(i) and 1266(b)(9)(B), require that surface coal mining operations be conducted so as to prevent the contribution of additional suspended solids to streamflow or runoff outside the permit area to the extent possible using the best technology currently available.  Sections 515(b)(24) and 516(b)(11) of SMCRA, 30 U.S.C. 1265(b)(24) and 1266(b)(11), require that surface coal mining and reclamation operations be conducted to minimize disturbances to and adverse impacts on fish, wildlife, and related environmental values "to the extent possible using the best technology currently available."  These statutory provisions form the basis for the new rules concerning excess spoil, coal mine waste, and buffer zones for waters of the United States.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Alternatives considered in the Environmental Impact Statement include:

A.  Alternative 1  Changing the Excess Spoil and Stream Buffer Zone Regulations (OSMs Preferred Alternative and Most Environmentally Protective Alternative):  

OSM would revise the regulations applicable to excess spoil generation and placement to further lessen the adverse environmental effects stemming from excess spoil fill construction.  OSM would require the applicant for a surface coal mining permit to demonstrate that (1) the operation has been designed to minimize the creation of excess spoil and (2) excess spoil fills have been designed to be no larger than needed to accommodate the anticipated volume of excess spoil that the operation will generate.  Finally, OSM would require the applicant to consider various alternative spoil disposal plans in which the size, numbers, and locations of the excess spoil fills vary, and to submit an analysis showing that the preferred excess spoil disposal plan would result in the least adverse environmental impact.

Similarly, OSM would revise its coal mine waste disposal regulations to require permit applicants to describe the steps to be taken to minimize adverse environmental impacts and identify and analyze the environmental impacts associated with alternative disposal methods and potential locations.

OSM would revise the stream buffer zone regulation to clarify which kinds of coal mining activities are subject to the rule. Surface mining and reclamation activities occurring adjacent to, but not in,  waters of the United States would be subject to the rule. Stream crossings, sedimentation ponds, excess spoil fills, mining through waters of the United States, and coal mine waste disposal facilities would not be subject to the prohibition on disturbance of the buffer zone.

OSM would also revise the criteria for authorizing variances from the 100-foot buffer zone to more accurately reflect the statutory basis for the rule.  The stream buffer zone is principally based on two SMCRA provisions: Sections 515(b)(10)(B)(i) and 515(b)(24).  The first provision requires, among other things, that surface coal mining operations be conducted so as to prevent, to the extent possible using the best technology currently available, additional contributions of suspended solids to streamflow or runoff outside the permit area.  The second provision, Section 515(b)(24), requires that to the extent possible using the best technology currently available, surface coal mining and reclamation operations must minimize disturbances and adverse impacts of the operation on fish, wildlife, and related environmental values, and achieve enhancement of such resources where practicable.  Variances to use of a 100-foot buffer as BTCA could be authorized if equally or more effective alternative means to achieve the performance standards of sections 515(b)(10)(B)(i) and (24) would be used. 

Finally, OSM would also extend the requirement of a 100-foot buffer zone to other water bodies in addition to streams, so as to apply the rule to lakes, ponds, and adjacent wetlands (to the extent those water bodies constitute waters of the United States under the Clean Water Act).

As a variant of this alternative, OSM is also considering largely retaining the existing buffer zone rule language at 30 CFR 816.57(a) and 817.57(a), but modifying the criteria for allowing a variance from the 100-foot buffer requirement:  The first modification would retain the current criterion that requires that the regulatory authority find that the "mining activities will not cause or contribute to the violation of applicable State or Federal water quality standards, and will not adversely affect the water quantity and quality or other environmental resources of the stream."  This variant would explicitly note that the appropriate Federal and State Clean Water Act agencies in accordance with sections 401, 402, or 404 would make this determination.  The second modification would replace the phrase "adversely affect" with "significantly degrade."  

B.  Alternative 2  January 7, 2004  Proposed Rule

OSM would change the excess spoil regulations essentially as described in Alternative 1 but would change the stream buffer zone regulations at 30 CFR 816.56 and 817.57 as described in the January 7, 2004 Federal Register notice of the previous proposed stream buffer zone rule [69 FR 1036].

OSM would retain the prohibition on disturbance of land within 100 feet of a perennial or intermittent stream for surface coal mining operations but allow the regulatory authority to grant a variance to this requirement if the regulatory authority finds in writing that the activities would, to the extent possible, use the best technology currently available:

(1) Prevent additional contributions of suspended solids to the section of stream within 100 feet downstream of the mining activities, and outside the area affected by mining activities; and

(2) Minimize disturbances and adverse impacts on fish, wildlife, and other related environmental values of the stream.

C.  Alternative 3  Change Only the Excess Spoil Regulations 

OSM would change the excess spoil regulations as described in Alternative 1.  No changes would be made to the stream buffer zone regulations. 

D.  Alternative 4  Change Only the Stream Buffer Zone Regulations

OSM would change the stream buffer zone regulations as described in Alternative 1.  No changes would be made to the excess spoil regulations.

E.  Alternative 5  No Action Alternative:

OSM would not adopt any new rules.  The current regulations applicable to excess spoil generation and fill construction and the stream buffer zone would remain unchanged.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[It is anticipated that some of the regulatory changes will result in an increase in the costs and burdens placed on coal operators and on some primacy States. We estimate that the total annual increase for operators would be approximately $240,500, and for the primacy States the total annual increase is estimated at approximately $24,200. These increases are a result of the requirement to document the analyses and findings required by the regulatory changes. This estimated increase in costs would likely only affect those coal operators and States (Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia) located in the steep slope terrain of the central Appalachian coalfields, where the bulk of excess spoil is generated. Because all of the regulatory agencies in the Appalachian coalfields have implemented policies to minimize the volume of excess spoil, no significant additional costs of implementing these regulatory changes are anticipated other than those required to document the strengthened requirements to consider all alternative excess spoil construction and disposal sites.

One of the primary benefits of the rule is an expected reduction in the placement of excess spoil with resulting positive environmental consequences. The rule is also expected to clarify mining requirements for steep slope and mountaintop mining operations in Appalachia and thereby establish regulatory certainty for the coal industry, which has been hesitant to expend large sums of money on this type of mining operations because of legal uncertainty.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[If the proposed rule is not adopted, the controversy and uncertainty concerning the meaning of the existing stream buffer zone rule may continue to exist.  That uncertainty creates the risk of additional litigation concerning the existing rule, which could result in regulatory instability and a reluctance on the part of coal mining companies to invest in new mining projects.  There is also the risk that not all of the environmental benefits of the excess spoil minimization rules would be achieved.  Finally, failure to adopt this rule would result in the retention of legally and technically obsolete provisions of the existing rules.]]></RISKS>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would clarify language in the existing rule dealing with Indian gaming compact negotiations between States and tribes when tribes have exhausted Federal judicial remedies.  The rule applies where a tribe asserts that the State is not negotiating in good faith, files suit against the State in Federal court, but cannot proceed in Federal court because the State refuses to waive its sovereign immunity from suit.  In cases where a State chooses not to assert a sovereign immunity defense, this proposed rule would not apply.]]></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 2 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>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 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 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 adds seizure-for-forfeiture authority for the FBI 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)). 

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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Suspension and Removal of Panel Trustees and Standing Trustees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("BAPCPA") (Pub. L. No. 109-8) amended 28 U.S.C. 586(d)(2) to clarify that standing trustees and panel trustees who cease to be assigned to cases filed under title 11, United States Code, may obtain judicial review of the final agency decision by commencing an action in the District court after first exhausting all available administrative remedies, which if the trustee so elects, shall also include an administrative hearing on the record. The Attorney General is directed to prescribe procedures to implement these changes.  Pursuant to an order dated October 14, 2005, the Attorney General delegated his authority to promulgate rules necessary to implement the provisions of the BAPCPA that relate to the administration and supervision of bankruptcy cases by the United States Trustee Program to the Director of the Executive Office for United States Trustees.  28 CFR 58.6 currently sets forth the procedures for suspension and removal of panel trustees and standing trustees.  The Executive Office for United States Trustees is amending these procedures to reflect the changes required by 28 U.S.C. 586(d)(2) under the authority delegated by the Attorney General in his October 14, 2005, order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conforming OVW Grant Programs Regulations to Statutory Changes </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office on Violence Against Women issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in December 2003 relating to clarification of the match requirement under the STOP Formula Grant Program and the STOP Violence Against Indian Women Discretionary Grant Program.  On January 5, 2006, President Bush signed the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (VAWA 2005, Pub. L. 109-162).  VAWA 2005 changed the match requirements governing these programs and made other changes to OVW grant programs.  Because of this, the specific changes proposed in the prior Notice are no longer applicable.  Changes to the match requirement due to VAWA 2005 will be included in this new rulemaking. 

This rule proposes to amend the regulations for certain violence against women grant programs to comply with statutory changes.  The STOP (Services-Training-Officers-Prosecutors) Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program and the STOP Violence Against Indian Women Discretionary Grant Program are codified at 42 U.S.C. 3796gg through 3796gg-5.  The final rule for these programs, found at 28 CFR part 90, was promulgated on April 18, 1995.  The Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program is codified at 42 U.S.C. 3796hh through 3796hh-4.  The final rule for the program, found at 28 CFR part 90, subpart D, was promulgated on August 6, 1996.  The Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus Program was authorized by title VIII, part E, section 826, of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, Public Law No. 105-244, 112 Stat. 1581 (Oct. 7, 1998).  VAWA 2005 reauthorized the program and removed it from the Higher Education Amendments.  The final rule for the program, found at 28 CFR part 90, subpart E, was promulgated on July 22, 1999.  This rule proposes to amend the regulations governing the STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program, the STOP Violence Against Indian Women Discretionary Grant Program, the Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program, and the Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus Program to comply with the amendments to these programs enacted by VAWA 2005.  These proposed changes to the regulations simply incorporate statutory changes and make some minor technical corrections.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 1231(b) of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("BAPCPA"), as codified at 28 U.S.C. 586(e)(3)(4) requires that: (1) Standing trustees exhaust all administrative remedies pertaining to denial of a claim of actual, necessary expenses before seeking judicial review of them; and (2) the Attorney General prescribe procedures for administrative review of such claim denials. This rule ensures that the process of administratively reviewing denials of standing trustees' expense claims is fair and effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Uniform Forms for Trustee Final Reports for Chapter 7, 12, and 13 Cases</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The administration of all chapter 7, 12, and 13 bankruptcy estates is entrusted to private persons who are trustees under the supervision and oversight of the United States Trustee.  In every case, a trustee must submit a final report, though these reports vary according to local district court rules.  Congress has mandated that these final reports be nationally unified so that they facilitate the review of a trustees case administration and assist in maintaining the publics trust in the bankruptcy system.  Accordingly, this rule requires uniform forms for final reports by trustees in cases under chapters 7, 12, and 13 of title 11.  These reports, once filed in each case, will be available to the public at the office of the clerk of the United States Bankruptcy Court where a case is pending during the hours established by the bankruptcy court clerk.]]></ABSTRACT>

These reports are to be used by the United States Trustee Program to facilitate oversight and monitoring of chapter 11 cases as well as to provide information to the courts, creditors, and public about the debtor's operations while under chapter 11 reorganization.  Among the purposes for uniform forms is to accomplish the collection of data required by Congress that will be " in the best interests of debtors and creditors, and in the public interest in reasonable and adequate information to evaluate the efficiency and practicality of the Federal bankruptcy system." 28 U.S.C. 589b(c).]]></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. As amended by the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003, Public Law No. 108-21, the PCSPA also requires providers to report incidents of child pornography involving violations of section 2252B of title 18, United States Code, and incidents of violations of section 1466A, title 18, United States Code, and permits NCMEC to forward reports to State and local law enforcement agencies where appropriate.  On November 4, 2003, an interim final rule was published designating four Federal law enforcement agencies that will receive reports pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 13032.  These include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the U.S. Secret Service.

In a related matter, RIN 1105-AB06, "Reporting Under the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act, as Amended," the Department is preparing a notice of proposed rulemaking to provide guidance to those law enforcement agencies and to the providers making the reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DNA Sample Collection From Federal Offenders Under the Justice for All Act of 2004 </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is publishing this rule to implement section 203(b) of Public Law 108-405, the Justice for All Act of 2004. The Justice for All Act of 2004 authorizes the Department of Justice to treat offenses in certain specified  categories as qualifying Federal offenses for purposes of DNA sample collection. This rule amends regulations to reflect new categories of Federal offenses subject to DNA sample collection. The Justice for All Act amendment added "[a]ny felony" as a specified offense category in 42 U.S.C. 14135a(d)--thereby permitting the collection of DNA samples from all convicted Federal felons. This rule includes the new "any felony" category and does not change the coverage of misdemeanors in certain categories already included under prior law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is publishing this rule to implement 18 U.S.C. 3600A.  That statute requires the Federal Government to preserve biological evidence in Federal criminal cases in which defendants are under sentences of imprisonment, subject to certain limitations and exceptions.  Subsection (e) of the statute requires the Attorney General to promulgate regulations to implement and enforce the statute.  This rule adds a new subchapter C to 28 CFR part 28 to effect the required implementation and enforcement of 18 U.S.C. 3600A.  The new provisions added by this rule explain and interpret the evidence preservation requirement of 18 U.S.C. 3600A, and include provisions concerning sanctions for violations of that requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Inspection of Records Relating to Depiction of Sexually Explicit Performances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act of 1998, Public Law No. 100--690, as amended by the Child Protection Restoration and Penalties Enhancement Act of 1990, Public Law No. 101--647, and the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the  Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003, Public Law No. 108--21, Congress set forth requirements at section 2257, title 18, United States Code, concerning recordkeeping requirements for producers of sexually explicit material. Section 2257 of title 18, United States  Code, specifies steps that must be taken by persons who produce materials depicting sexually explicit conduct to determine the names and dates of birth of persons depicted in those materials, lists records that must be kept by persons producing those materials, and requires that notices as to the location of those records be affixed to those materials. 28 CFR part 75 contains recordkeeping and inspection requirements implementing section 2257, title 18, United States Code.  On May 24, 2005 (70 FR 29607), the Department published a final rule amending these requirements at 28 CFR part 75 to bring the regulations up to date and to make the inspection process effective for the purposes set by Congress in enacting section 2257.

This rule amends the recordkeeping and inspection requirements of 28 CFR part 75 to account for changes in the underlying statute, 18 U.S.C. section 2257, made by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department of Justice regulations concerning agency management.  The production of certain information or testimony by Department officials in response to subpoenas or demands of courts or other authorities is governed by 28 CFR 16.21 to 16.29, often referred to as the Departments Touhy regulations, see United States ex rel. Touhy v. Ragen, 340 U.S. 462 (1951).  The revision avoids any doubt that the Touhy regulations cover information acquired by a State or local law enforcement and prosecutive official while serving as a task force official on a Department of Justice task force.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for the Administrative Collection of Claims</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Claims Collection Standards (FCCS) are issued jointly by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General.  These regulations prescribe the standards for the administrative collection, compromise, termination of agency collection, and the referral to the Department of Justice for litigation of civil claims by the Federal Government for money or property.

This rule revises part 901 of the FCCS, which specifies the order in which a Federal agency is required to apply a partial or installment payment to the various components of a delinquent, non-tax debt owed to the United States.

The current rule states that payments are required to be applied first to the penalties, then to the administrative costs, then to interest, and last to principal.  The revised rule will require the agencies to apply payments first to administrative costs that are paid out of amounts collected from the debtor (known as "contingency fees") when such costs are added to the debt, second to penalties, third to administrative costs other than contingency fees, fourth to interest, and last to principal.

Also the term "administrative charges" used in sections 901.9(f) and 901.9(g) is being replaced with "administrative costs" for consistency and clarity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Guidelines for Sex Offender Registration and Notification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These guidelines carry out a statutory directive to the Attorney General (appearing in 42 U.S.C. 1 6912(b)) to issue guidelines to interpret and implement the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), which is title I of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-248).  The guidelines provide guidance and assistance to the States and other covered jurisdictions in incorporating the SORNA requirements into their sex offender registration and notification programs.  Jurisdictions that fail to substantially implement the SORNA requirements in their programs within a specified time frame are subject to a 10 percent reduction of Federal justice assistance (Byrne Grant) funding.  Matters addressed in the guidelines include general principles for SORNA implementation; the jurisdictions responsible for implementing the SORNA standards in their programs; the sex offenders required to register under SORNA and the registration and notification requirements they are subject to based on the nature of their offenses and the extent of their recidivism; the information to be taken from registrants and the disclosure and sharing of such information; the jurisdictions in which sex offenders are required to register; the procedures for initially registering sex offenders and for keeping the registration current and the registration information up to date; the duration of registration; and the means of enforcing registration requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reporting Under the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act as Amended</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.

As amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2000, Public Law No. 106-113, the PCSPA requires 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.  As amended by the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003, Public Law No. 108-21, the PCSPA also requires providers to report incidents of child pornography involving violations of section 2252B of title 18, United States Code, and incidents of violations of section 1466A, title 18, United States Code, and permits NCMEC to forward reports to State and local law enforcement agencies where appropriate.  A notice of proposed rulemaking is being prepared that will provide guidance to the providers, NCMEC, and the designated law enforcement agencies on the content of such reports and how the reports will be processed.

In a related matter, RIN 1105-AA65, "Designation of Agencies To Receive and Investigate Reports Required Under the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act," interim final rule published November 4, 2003, 68 FR 62370, the Department designated four law enforcement agencies to receive and investigate such reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidelines for the PROTECT Act Amendments to the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 170101 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Public Law No. 103-322, 108 Stat. 1796, 2038 (codified at 42 U.S.C. 14071) contains the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act (the "Wetterling Act").  The Wetterling Act sets minimum national standards for State sex offender registration and community notification programs and directs the Attorney General to issue guidelines for such programs.  The main set of current Wetterling Act guidelines was published on January 5, 1999, in the Federal Register (64 FR 572, with corrections at 64 FR 3590), and a supplementary set of guidelines for the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act amendment to the Wetterling Act was published on October 25, 2002, in the Federal Register (67 FR 65598).  States that fail to comply with the Wetterling Acts requirements (as implemented and explained in the Attorney Generals guidelines) are subject to a mandatory 10 percent reduction of the formula grant funding available under the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Program (42 U.S.C. 3756), which is administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance of the Department of Justice.

Subsequent to the publication of the current Wetterling Act guidelines, the Wetterling Act was amended by sections 604 and 605 of the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003, or PROTECT Act, Public Law 108-21, 117 Stat. 650, 688 (2003).  These amendments provide that the means by which a State provides information to the public concerning registered sex offenders must include an Internet site and add child pornography production and distribution offenses to the list of crimes against children for which registration is required under the Wetterling Acts standards.  Supplementary guidelines are necessary to take account of the PROTECT Act amendments to the Wetterling Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The revisions to section 16.32 will allow requests to be transmitted to the FBI by means other than the U.S. mail; will expand the types of satisfactory proof of identity, when such proof is available and appropriate; and will authorize the FBI to accept additional methods of payment. To be consistent with the purpose and scope of the procedure, as set out in section 16.30, the revised section will also clarify that the FBI will return such records only to the subject or to the subject's attorney of record. Section 16.33 will be revised to establish the fee under 31 U.S.C. 9701 and to explain that, with calculation of the fee under OMB's Circular A-25, the revised fee reflects the full cost to the FBI for providing this service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inclusion of Nonserious Offense Identification Records</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends FBI regulations defining the offenses that may serve as the basis for maintaining fingerprints and criminal history record information (CHRI) in its criminal history record information systems.  The relevant FBI information systems include the Fingerprint Identification Record System (FIRS), which maintains fingerprints records, and the Interstate Identification Index (III) System, which maintains fingerprint-supported CHRI.  

The amendment broadens the definition of includable offenses to permit the retention of information relating to currently excluded  non-serious offenses (NSOs) as well as information relating to "serious and/or significant adult or juvenile offenses."  The revised regulation will permit the retention and exchange of fingerprints and CHRI relating to NSOs when provided by the submitting jurisdiction for retention by the FBI.  Such NSO information is currently maintained only at the State and local levels.  

The change allows for the more uniform collection of CHRI at the Federal level.  It establishes more uniform sharing of such information among the States by allowing States to make NSO information available for national criminal history record searches--for both criminal justice and non-criminal justice purposes--by submitting such information for retention by the FBI.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by section 109 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), the FBI promulgated Cost Recovery Regulations allowing telecommunications carriers to recover certain costs associated with implementing CALEA. The final rule was published on March 20, 1997 (62 FR 13307), and became effective on April 21, 1997. In response to public comment received during this rulemaking, the FBI published an ANPRM on November 19, 1996 (61 FR 58799), which solicited input on the definition of the term "significant upgrade or major modification" as used by CALEA. The "significant upgrade or major modification" NPRM was published on April 28, 1998 (63 FR 23231).  A supplemental NPRM proposing definitions was published on October 5, 2001.  The FBI is currently reviewing comments received and is drafting a final rule which will define the terms "replaced" and "significantly upgraded or otherwise undergone major modification," for the purposes of the Cost Recovery Regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>While CALEA required telecommunications carriers to be in compliance with section 103 by October 25, 1998, the FCC exercised 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.

This rulemaking has been transferred to RIN 1110-AA21 because the computer system used by the Regulatory Information Service Center (RISC) to compile the Unified Agenda no longer supports &quot;parent&quot; and &quot;child&quot; RINs.

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is revising its regulations to permit DEA-registered prescribers to write and sign prescriptions electronically.  These revised regulations would be in 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 revised regulations would reduce paperwork and transaction times for DEA registrants who dispense or prescribe controlled substances.  The revised 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 revised regulations are consistent with paperwork reduction mandates.  These revised regulations also respond to the  requirements of Public Law 106-229, the "Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act," while ensuring security and authentication.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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 making 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.  Based on information available, DEA will 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>Limited Exemption for Peyote Use in Traditional Ceremonies With a Traditional Indian Religion by Members of Federally Recognized Indian Tribes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is amending its regulation addressing the use of peyote to clarify that the possession, transportation, and use of peyote is lawful only when such activities are engaged in by a member of a federally recognized Indian tribe for bona fide traditional ceremonial purposes in connection with the practice of a traditional Indian religion.  This rule is designed to bring the language of DEA's regulatory exemption for the limited use of peyote into harmony with the historical purpose for the regulatory exemption and to comport with the language of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act Amendments of 1994.  Use, possession, and transportation of peyote, as well as the cultivation, harvesting, and distribution of peyote, other than as permitted by the American Indian Religious Freedom Act amendments, is permissible only pursuant to a DEA registration and in accordance with the Controlled Substances Act and applicable State laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

This change will make the DEA regulations consistent with recent changes to the Controlled Substances Act that removed the patient limitation on prescribing drug addiction treatments by practitioners in group practices.  DEA is also amending its regulations to permit certain qualifying physicians to dispense and prescribe narcotic controlled substances in maintenance or detoxification treatment to up to 100 patients at any one time, after the practitioner submits to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services a notification of the practitioners need and intent to treat the increased number of patients.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Record Requirements for Chemical Distributors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March 2006, Congress enacted the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005, which mandates that regulated sellers of scheduled listed chemical products self-certify with DEA before they are allowed to sell these products at retail.  DEA is revising its recordkeeping requirements to include a requirement that manufacturers, distributors, and importers obtain and maintain the certification number issued by DEA to regulated sellers in their records of sales.  This change will ensure that registrants verify that the regulated sellers to whom they distribute have successfully completed the mandatory self-certification process imposed by the CMEA for sales of scheduled listed chemical products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Drug Enforcement Administration is amending its regulations to implement a new format for order forms (DEA Form 222), which are issued by DEA to DEA registrants to allow them to order Schedule I and/or II controlled substances.  The present format utilizes a three-part, carbon-copy form with copies 2 and 3 replicating copy 1.  The format will employ a single-sheet form.  The new form will have enhanced security features and will be easier for DEA registrants to use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Positional Isomer as It Pertains to the Control of Schedule I Controlled Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and its implementing regulations specify which hallucinogenic substances are considered Schedule I controlled substances. The CSA states that all salts, isomers, and salts of isomers of these substances are also Schedule I controlled substances.

The CSA states that the term "isomers" as it pertains to Schedule I hallucinogens shall include "optical, positional, and geometric isomers." This rule adds a specific, technical definition for the term "positional isomer" as it relates to Schedule I hallucinogens.  The definition includes precise language that will allow for an unambiguous determination of which isomers of Schedule I hallucinogenic substances are considered to be "positional," and therefore subject to Schedule I control.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Requirements for Handlers of Pseudoephedrine, Ephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 clandestine laboratories produce methamphetamine using over-the-counter regulated drug products.  DEA has received numerous reports regarding the theft of large quantities of these products at the wholesale level.

DEA drafted a rule to require that manufacturers, distributors, importers, and exporters of pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine implement security procedures similar to those of Schedule III-V controlled substances to prevent the theft and diversion of these List I chemicals.  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 also sought input regarding alternative means to effectively prevent the theft and diversion of these products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes in the Regulation of Iodine and Its Chemical Mixtures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking changes the regulation of the listed chemical iodine.  The regulatory changes are to 1) move iodine from List II into List I, 2) remove the exemption for import and export transactions in iodine, 3) remove the threshold for iodine, and 4) establish a concentration limit of 2.2 percent for the automatic exemption of chemical mixtures containing iodine.

These changes are expected to remove deficiencies in the current regulatory controls, which have been exploited by traffickers.  When finalized, persons handling regulated transactions of iodine will need to be registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration.

This regulation revises regulatory controls that will apply to iodine crystals and iodine chemical mixtures which contain greater than 2.2 percent iodine.  This regulation will therefore control iodine crystals and strong iodine tinctures/solutions (e.g., 7 percent iodine) that do not have common household uses and instead have limited application in livestock, horses, and for disinfection of equipment.  Household products, such as 2 percent iodine tincture/solution and household disinfectants containing iodine complexes, will not be adversely impacted by this regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Psychiatric Evaluation and Treatment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) amends its regulations on Psychiatric Treatment and Medication.  We make several changes to conform more closely with the language of 18 U.S.C. sections 4241 to 4247 on psychiatric hospitalization.  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) revises current regulations on the Administrative Remedy Program to clarify existing provisions and to expand the program to allow Federal inmates housed in contract facilities to file grievances related to Bureau issues.  For further simplification, we remove language relating solely to internal Agency practices and procedures.  The changes would provide a consistent approach to correct the current deficiency in the Administrative Remedy Program and to provide Federal inmates housed in contract facilities with a process for addressing issues for which only the Bureau may grant relief.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to establish an inmate electronic message program for general correspondence with persons in the community.  We intend that this will provide inmates with an alternative means of written correspondence and provide the Bureau with a more efficient, cost effective, and secure method of managing inmate mail services.  However, the inmates participating in this program will not have access to the Internet.  As more inmates use the new electronic message program, it will reduce the opportunities to introduce contraband into Bureau facilities through inmate mail.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Release of Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to amend its regulations on Release of Information (28 CFR 513, subpart D).  We published current regulations on this subject in the Federal Register on December 9, 1996 (61 FR 64950).  We also published a proposed regulation on this subject on May 13, 2003 (68 FR 25545), which we will withdraw.

The Bureau proposes to remove our regulations regarding Privacy Act (PA) and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for information (28 CFR sections 513.30-.36 and 513.50-.68), because these regulations merely duplicate current and more general Department of Justice FOIA/PA regulations in 28 CFR part 16, and are therefore unnecessary in Bureau regulations.  We also propose to remove regulations pertaining to procedures for staff processing of inmate requests to institutions for information (28 CFR sections 513.40-.44), because these regulations do not directly relate to FOIA/PA and are an unnecessary level of operational detail.  This proposed rule also seeks to prohibit inmates incarcerated in Bureau facilities, including those in contract facilities or in community confinement, from possessing their Pre-Sentence Investigation Reports (PSR), Statements of Reasons (SOR), or other similar sentencing documents from criminal judgments.  Also, we propose new regulations regarding releasability of inmate information not otherwise provided for through current FOIA, PA, or Department of Justice regulations.]]></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).

On July 1, 2005, we merged the two rules described above (1120-AA49 and this rule).  The Bureau is currently developing a rule finalizing the interim rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reduction in Sentence for Medical Reasons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) is revising its rules on procedures for reductions in sentence (RIS) for medical reasons.  28 CFR part 571, subpart G, is currently entitled "Compassionate Release (Procedures for the Implementation of 18 U.S.C. sections 3582(c)(1)(A) and 4205(g))."  We are revising these rules to (1) more accurately reflect our authority under these statutes and our current policy, (2) to clarify inmate and public confusion regarding the procedures for RIS consideration, and (3) to describe procedures for RIS consideration of D.C. code offenders, for whom the Bureau has responsibility under the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 (D.C. Revitalization Act), D.C. Code section 24-101(b).  The new subpart G will be entitled "Reduction in Sentence for Medical Reasons."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Central Inmate Monitoring (CIM) System: Streamlining Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes a new rule that allows for limiting the communication opportunities of inmates charged with, convicted of, or detained in relation to an offense under title 18 U.S.C. chapters 113B or 115; or are charged with having engaged in, have engaged in, are detained in relation to, or are linked in any way to terrorist-related activity as part of their current or previous offense conduct or conduct while incarcerated.  The rule allows for limiting individual inmates communications when the Warden of the facility, in consultation with the Regional Director and approved by the Assistant Director, Correctional Programs Division, deems it necessary to ensure the safety, security, and good order of the institution; protection of the public; or national security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to remove current rules on the intensive confinement center program (ICC).  The ICC is a specialized program for non-violent offenders combining features of a military boot camp with traditional Bureau correctional values.  The Bureau will no longer be offering the ICC program (also known as Shock Incarceration or Boot Camp) to inmates as a program option.  This decision was made as part of an overall strategy to eliminate programs that do not reduce recidivism.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Smoking/No Smoking Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to revise regulations pertaining to smoking/no smoking for inmates in Bureau facilities.  The revised regulations indicate that smoking is generally prohibited in and on the grounds of Bureau institutions and offices, with the following two exceptions: Smoking is permitted as part of an authorized inmate religious activity; and, for all persons who wish to enter, or are present inside, Bureau facilities, other than inmates in Bureau custody, smoking is permitted only in smoking areas designated by the Warden.  This rule also clarifies that possession of smoking apparatus and tobacco in any form is prohibited for inmates, unless as part of an authorized inmate religious activity.  Smoking is defined as inhaling the smoke of any substance through the use of smoking apparatus including, but not limited to, cigars, cigarettes, or pipes.  We intend this amendment to promote a clean air environment and to protect the health and safety of staff and inmates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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.

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.  

Costs to States are limited, as the VOCA grant provides for administrative costs for these programs.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Authority of Immigration Judges To Issue Civil Money Penalties</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Department's 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 1003.102 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 for 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>Board of Immigration Appeals: Affirmance Without Opinion, Referral for Three-Board-Member Review, and Publication of Decisions as Precedents
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These revisions implement, in part, the Attorney General's August 9, 2006, Memorandum for Immigration Judges and Members of the Board of Immigration Appeal. This interim rule establishes that the Board may issue an affirmance without opinion (AWO) in the exercise of its discretion when it is satisfied that certain regulatory criteria are met. This provision also permits the Board to better manage its docket, budget its resources, and balance its competing adjudicatory responsibilities by allowing the Board to determine what type of decision to issue in a particular case. This regulation clarifies that the Board's decision to issue an AWO, or any other type of decision, depends on the Board's internal judgment regarding its resources and does not create personal rights and is not independently reviewable.

In addition, this rule permits three-Board-member review of a small class of particularly complex cases. The rule provides the Board with the discretion to assess its resources, and where it deems appropriate, devote more of its resources to address complex or unusual issues of law or fact by referring a case for review by a three-member panel. Finally, this rule amends the regulations relating to precedent decisions of the Board, by authorizing publication of decisions either by a majority of Board Members in a panel or by a majority of permanent Board Members at the Board. With these tools, the Board can better manage its docket, budget its resources, and balance its competing adjudicatory responsibilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Professional Conduct for Practitioners--Rules and Procedures, and Representation and Appearances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to change the rules and procedures concerning the standards of representation and professional conduct for attorneys and other practitioners who appear before Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which includes the immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board). Current regulations set forth who may represent individuals in proceedings before EOIR and also set forth the rules and procedures for imposing disciplinary sanctions against attorneys or other practitioners who engage in criminal, unethical, or unprofessional conduct before EOIR.  The proposed revisions would increase the number of grounds for discipline and improve the clarity and uniformity of the existing rules while incorporating miscellaneous technical and procedural changes.  The changes proposed herein are based upon the Attorney General's recent initiative for improving both the immigration courts and the Board, which includes measures to update the sanction authorities of the immigration judges and the Board for professional misconduct, as well as EOIR's operational experience in administering the program over the last six years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Voluntary Departure: Effect of a Motion To Reopen or Reconsider or a Petition for Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The immigration laws provide that an alien may request and receive a grant of voluntary departure in certain cases; such a grant allows an alien to depart voluntarily during a specified period of time after the order is issued, in lieu of being removed under an order of removal. Voluntary departure is an agreed upon exchange of benefits between the alien and the Government, which provides tangible benefits for aliens who do depart during the time allowed, but there are severe statutory penalties for aliens who voluntarily fail to depart during the time allowed for voluntary departure.  This proposed rule would amend the Department of Justice (Department) regulations regarding voluntary departure to protect the aliens statutory right to file a motion to reopen or reconsider, but also to provide that the aliens filing of a motion to reopen or reconsider prior to the expiration of the voluntary departure period will have the effect of automatically terminating the grant of voluntary departure.  Similarly, the rule also provides that the aliens filing of a petition for judicial review shall automatically terminate the grant of voluntary departure.  This means that the alien will be subject to the alternate order of removal that was issued in conjunction with the grant of voluntary departure, similar to other aliens who were found to be removable, but this approach also means he or she will not be subject to the penalties for failure to depart voluntarily.  However, aliens who do depart the United States during the period allowed for voluntary departure will be deemed to have departed voluntarily notwithstanding the prior filing of a motion or petition for review.

The rule also amends the bond provisions for voluntary departure to make clear that an aliens failure to post a voluntary departure bond as required will not have the effect of exempting the alien from the penalties for failure to depart under the grant of voluntary departure.  Aliens accepting a grant of voluntary departure remain liable for the amount of the voluntary departure bond (in an amount not less than $500) if they do not depart as they had agreed, but they will be able to get a refund of the bond amount upon proof of their departure within the time allowed.  In addition, the rule provides for setting, at the time the immigration judge issues a grant of voluntary departure, a specific dollar amount of not less than $3,000 as a civil money penalty if the alien voluntarily fails to depart within the time allowed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Executive Office for Immigration Review Attorney/Representative Registry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This 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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transfer of Jurisdiction Over Appeals of Fines From the Board of Immigration Appeals to the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 1280 of title 8 CFR, and transfers that authority to Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO).  Part 1280 governs the imposition and collection 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reopened Proceedings on Petitions for Alien Entrepreneur Immigrant Classification (EB-5 Visas)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the regulations of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) of the Department of Justice (Department) to implement changes made by the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act of 2001, Public Law 107-273 (Nov. 2, 2002), to the EB-5 Alien Entrepreneur immigrant classification.  This rule will be published in conjunction with a corresponding rule of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that addresses changes to their part of the adjudication.  In order to be eligible, an alien must have filed a motion to reopen with the former Immigration and Naturalization Service on or before January 2, 2003, seeking reconsideration of his or her case under this new law.  This rule provides the process by which certain aliens, who are seeking immigrant status as alien entrepreneurs, may obtain EOIR review of adverse determinations on the removal of the condition on permanent resident status made by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a component of DHS.  In addition, this rule also establishes procedures for aliens who have received favorable determinations on the removal of the condition on permanent resident status and who have final orders of deportation or removal or who have cases that are pending or administratively closed before EOIR.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule amends the regulations of the Department of Justice to provide that immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals will inform aliens in removal proceedings that they have an affirmative obligation to surrender to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) upon the issuance of a final order of removal by an immigration judge or the Board.  Aliens will be informed that the failure to surrender to DHS as required under the DHS rule will result in the denial of any forms of discretionary relief from removal while the alien remains in the United States and for a period of 10 years after the alien's departure from the United States.  This rule is being published jointly with DHS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General are amending their respective agencies regulations governing applications for adjustment of status filed by paroled arriving aliens seeking to become lawful permanent residents. The Secretary and the Attorney General are also amending the regulations to clarify when United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, or the immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals of the Executive Office for Immigration Review, have jurisdiction to adjudicate applications for adjustment of status by such aliens. In addition, the Secretary and the Attorney General are requesting comments on the possibility of adopting further proposals in the future to structure the exercise of discretion in adjudicating these applications for adjustment of status.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Public Law 105-277 Relating to Secure Gun Storage</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to implement the provisions of Public Law 105-277, Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999. The amendments are with regard to: 1) Certification by applicants for dealers' licenses that secure gun storage or safety devices will be available at any place where firearms are sold to nonlicensed individuals and 2) an amended definition of "antique firearm," to include certain muzzle loading firearms.  In addition, the Gun Control Act of 1968 establishes categories of individuals who are prohibited from possessing a firearm.   A provision of Public Law 105-277 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 the 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 the Safe Explosives Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) 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).  The law, 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Safe Explosives Act--Delivery of Explosive Materials by Common or Contract Carrier</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending the regulations relating to machine guns, destructive devices, and certain other firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to clarify the definition of the term "pistol" and to define more clearly exceptions to the "pistol" definition.  The added language is necessary to clarify that certain weapons, including any weapon disguised to look like an item other than a firearm or any gun that fires more than one shot without manual reloading by a single function of the trigger, are not pistols and are classified as "any other weapon" under the NFA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), in part, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which requires an agency to review within 10 years of publication, rules for which an agency prepared a final regulatory flexibility analysis addressing the impact of the rule on small businesses or other small entities.  This rule amends the explosives regulations relating to fireworks.  In addition, this rule incorporates the provisions of an ATF Ruling 76-18, concerning alternate construction standards for storage facilities for explosive materials. This rule also addresses documentation requirements, various exemptions from the explosive regulations, and other amendments to the regulations that have been initiated by ATF or proposed by members of the explosives industry.]]></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 began the process of revising ADAAG a number of years ago.  It published new ADAAG in final form on July 23, 2004, after having published guidelines in proposed form in November 1999 and in draft final form in April 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 revised ADA Standards consistent with the final revised ADAAG 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 first step in adopting revised Standards was an advance notice of proposed rulemaking that was published in the Federal Register on September 30, 2004, at 69 FR 58768, issued under both title II and title III.  The Department believes that the advance notice will simplify and clarify the preparation of the proposed rule to follow.  In addition to giving notice that the proposed rule will adopt revised ADA accessibility standards, the advance notice raised questions for public comment and proposed a framework for the regulatory analysis that will accompany the proposed rule.

The adoption of revised ADAAG will also serve to address changes to the ADA Standards previously proposed in RIN 1190-AA26, RIN 1190-AA38, RIN 1190-AA47, and RIN 1190-AA50, all of which have now been withdrawn from the Unified Agenda. These changes will include technical specifications for facilities designed for use by children, accessibility standards for State and local government facilities, play areas, and recreation facilities, all of which had 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 second step 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 ADA Standards for Accessible Design consistent with the minimum guidelines of the revised ADAAG.  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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 504 of the ADA requires the Access Board to issue supplemental minimum guidelines and requirements for accessible design of buildings and facilities subject to the ADA, including title III. Section 306(c) of the ADA requires the Attorney General to promulgate regulations implementing title III that are consistent with the Access Board's ADA guidelines.  Because this rule will adopt standards that are consistent with the minimum guidelines issued by the Access Board, this rule is required by statute.  Similarly, the Department's review of its title III regulation is being undertaken to comply with the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended by SBREFA.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Department is required by the ADA to issue this regulation.  Pursuant to SBREFA, the Department's title III regulation will consider whether alternatives to the currently published requirements are appropriate.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[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.

As part of its revised ADAAG, the Access Board made available 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 that are subject to title III of the ADA.  Section 4(2) of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1503(2), excludes from coverage under that Act any proposed or final Federal regulation that "establishes or enforces any statutory rights that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, or disability."  Accordingly, this rulemaking is not subject to the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 (ADAAG), 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, and published the ADA Accessibility Guidelines in final form on July 23, 2004. The ADA (section 204(c)) requires the Department's standards to be consistent with the Access Board's guidelines.  In order to maintain consistency between ADAAG and the Standards, the Department is reviewing its title II regulations and expects to propose, in one or more stages, to adopt revised standards consistent with new ADAAG.  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 first part of the rulemaking process was an advance notice of proposed rulemaking, published in the Federal Register on September 30, 2004, at 69 FR 58768, issued under both title II and title III.  The Department believes the advance notice will simplify and clarify the preparation of the proposed rule to follow.  In addition to giving notice of the proposed rule that will adopt revised ADA accessibility standards, the advance notice raised questions for public comment and proposed a framework for the regulatory analysis that will accompany the proposed rule.

The adoption of revised ADA Standards consistent with revised ADAAG will also serve to address changes to the ADA Standards previously proposed under RIN 1190-AA26, RIN 1190-AA38, RIN 1190-AA47, and RIN 1190-AA50, all of which have now been withdrawn from the Unified Agenda.  These changes will include technical specifications for facilities designed for use by children, accessibility standards for State and local government facilities, play areas, and recreation facilities, all of which had 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 second step 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 alone, this notice will also propose to eliminate the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) as an alternative to the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 504 of the ADA requires the Access Board to issue supplemental minimum guidelines and requirements for accessible design of buildings and facilities subject to the ADA, including title II. Section 204(c) of the ADA requires the Attorney General to promulgate regulations implementing title II that are consistent with the Access Board's ADA guidelines. Because this rule will adopt standards that are consistent with the minimum guidelines issued by the Access Board, this rule is required by statute. Similarly, the Department's review of its title II regulations is being undertaken to comply with the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA).]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The summary of the legal basis of authority for this regulation is set forth above under Legal Authority and Statement of Need.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Department is required by the ADA to issue this regulation as described in the Statement of Need above.  Pursuant to SBREFA, the Department's title II regulation will consider whether alternatives to the currently published requirements are appropriate.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Administration is deeply committed to ensuring that the goals of the ADA are met. Promulgating this amendment to the Department's ADA regulations will ensure that entities subject to the ADA will have one comprehensive regulation to follow. Currently, entities subject to title II of the ADA (State and local governments) have a choice between following the Department's ADA Standards for title III, which were adopted for places of public accommodation and commercial facilities and which do not contain standards for common State and local government buildings (such as courthouses and prisons), or the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). By developing one comprehensive standard, the Department will eliminate the confusion that arises when governments try to mesh two different standards. As a result, the overarching goal of improving access to 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.

As part of its revised ADAAG, the Access Board made available 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 that are subject to title III of the ADA.

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 effects are discussed in the Access Board's regulatory assessment, which also applies to the Department's proposed rule.  Section 4(2) of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1503(2), excludes from coverage under that Act any proposed or final Federal regulation that "establishes or enforces any statutory rights that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, or disability."  Accordingly, this rulemaking is not subject to the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.]]></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>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>RIN 1190-AA46, which will effect changes to 28 CFR 35 (the Department&apos;s regulation implementing title II of the ADA), is related to another rulemaking of the Civil Rights Division, RIN 1190-AA44, which will effect changes to 28 CFR 36 (the Department&apos;s regulation implementing title III of the ADA).  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>The Failure To Select Cause of Action of the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998</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).  Although this cause of action, originally enacted in ACWIA, sunset on October 1, 2003, it was revived in the H-1B Visa Reform Act of 2004.

This rule also changes 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 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.  This rule is being coordinated with EOIR, the Department of Labor (DOL), and the FMCS.]]></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) to 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 and in the Attorney General's internal practices, and to make the procedures clearer and easier to follow.  In the many 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 and Implementation of Executive Order 12250</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, and published in the Federal Register on August 26, 2003, the Department of Justice and other Federal agencies conformed their regulations to the CRRA.

In the rulemaking described under this RIN (1190-AA52) the Department of Justice proposes to make conforming 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 1973, 28 CFR 41.1 to 41.58.  The proposed amendments explicitly incorporate the CRRA's definitions of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI and section 504 coordination regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Attorney General&apos;s Guidelines on Implementation of the Language Minority Provisions of the Voting Rights Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The language minority provisions of the Voting Rights Act, sections 4(f)(4) and 203, require that certain States and political subdivisions of States (covered jurisdictions) provide materials and information about elections and voting in one or more languages other than English.  Under section 203, coverage determinations are based on Census data, made by the Director of the Census, become effective upon publication in the Federal Register, and are not subject to judicial review.  In 1976, the Department first issued guidelines on implementation of the language minority provisions of the Voting Rights Act to assist jurisdictions in understanding how the Department measures compliance and enforces these provisions.  A table listing jurisdictions covered by both section 4(f)(4) and section 203, as well as the language minority group or groups for which each is covered, is included as an appendix to the guidelines.  In subsequent years, the Department has amended these guidelines to reflect changes enacted in the section 203 coverage formula and new section 203 determinations by the Director of the Census, which have been made after each decennial census.  The last such revisions to the guidelines were published as a final rule without notice or comment period (58 FR 35371; Jul. 1, 1993).  On July 26, 2002, the Director of the Census published in the Federal Register new section 203 determinations based on 2000 Census data (67 FR 48871; Jul. 26, 2002).  The appendix should be updated to reflect these determinations currently in effect.  The section 4(f)(4) determinations have not changed. On July 27, 2006, the President signed the "Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments of 2006," Public Law 109-246, 120 Stat. 577, which includes three provisions affecting section 203 of the Voting Rights Act.  In addition, the expiration date for section 4(f)(4) and 203, as well as the identification of the census data for making section 203 determinations, should be changed to reflect the amendments to the Voting Rights Act enacted in 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendments instituted a number of significant changes to the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) including time limits on the participation of eligible individuals, new enrollment priorities, streamlined and strengthened performance measures, more training options for participants, new limits on participant fringe benefits, and required open competition of national grants every four years.

The Department was required to implement the new performance measures by July 1, 2007 and published an Interim Final Rule on these requirements in the Federal Register on June 29, 2007 (72 FR 35832).  However, SCSEP grantees were advised that they were responsible for complying with all the OAA-2006 changes as of July 1, 2007 as communicated in administrative guidance issued on June 11, 2007.  Since OAA-2006 instituted so many significant changes in addition to those relating to performance accountability, it is important that regulations implementing the full requirements of the amendments be issued consistent with the identified timetable.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In 2003, the White House Task Force report on Disadvantaged Youth recommended the transfer of YouthBuild because the program is at its core, an employment and training program for disadvantaged youth, and will benefit from administrative oversight in DOL within the Employment & Training Administration.  On September 22, 2006, President Bush signed into law the YouthBuild Transfer Act (Pub. L. 109-281) which transfers the YouthBuild program from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to the Department of Labor (DOL).  The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) will administer the YouthBuild program beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2007.

 The YouthBuild program assists youth who are often significantly behind in basic skills, in obtaining a high school diploma or GED credential, advance towards post-secondary education and career pathways in construction occupations.  The primary target populations for YouthBuild are adjudicated youth, youth aging out of foster care, out-of-school youth, and other at-risk populations.  Youth accomplish this through the building or rehabilitation of affordable homes in their communities.

The proposed regulation will consist of general information on funding and the grant application process, the program structure including eligibility and participation, performance requirements, and Administration allowances.  The regulation also references compliance with existing standards of housing, environmental protections, and safety.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations that implement the National Apprenticeship Act at title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 29 have not been updated since first promulgated in 1977.  The Department of Labor (DOL) proposes to update 29 CFR part 29 to ensure that the National Registered Apprenticeship System has the necessary tools and flexibility to keep pace with changes in the economy, technological advances, and corresponding workforce challenges.  The proposed rule addresses those changes by both making the procedures for apprenticeship program registration more flexible and strengthening oversight of program performance, including DOL's recognition of a State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA) as the appropriate agency for registering local apprenticeship programs for Federal purposes, and DOLs de-recognition of a SAA.  The proposed rule also updates part 29 to incorporate gender neutral terms and technological advances in the delivery of related technical instruction.  Such revisions will enable DOL to promote apprenticeship opportunity in the 21st century while continuing to safeguard the welfare of apprentices.]]></ABSTRACT>

Current regulations implementing this arrangement allow individuals who have worked in more than one State to establish a combined-wage claim (CWC) in the State in which they are physically located, regardless of whether or not they have covered wages in that State.  The Employment and Training Administration proposes amending current regulations to provide that individuals can establish CWC claims only in a State in which they have worked.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The current regulation for determining the State in which a CWC is established (the paying State) was issued in 1974 to replace a complicated set of tests for determining the paying State.  It was intended to speed payments to eligible claimants by streamlining a manual process which relied on mailing paper forms between States.  Before 1974, it could take weeks or months to determine which State should be the paying State for a particular claim.  In 1974, UC claims were filed in person.  Therefore, a simple solution was to make the paying State the State in which the claimant was physically present, which is where he or she would file the claim.  All of the claimants wages would be transferred to this State, whose law would govern eligibility and the amount of benefits.

An unintended consequence of this arrangement is that the paying State is not always a State in which the individual had insured wages.  Since this definition was codified, a practice called "forum shopping" has developed.  Forum shopping is where a claimant who has worked in more than one State travels to a State with a higher weekly benefit amount to file a CWC claim, even though the claimant has never worked in that State.  This practice occurs because weekly benefit amounts vary greatly among States.  States with higher weekly amounts have reported a number of instances where individuals traveled to these States for the purpose of filing a CWC and then immediately returned home.  That cross-country travel is faster and more affordable has facilitated this practice.

The Department believes that forum shopping is undesirable for two reasons.  First, it unfairly advantages claimants who worked in multiple States over those who worked in just one state.  Second, it results in higher benefit charges to former employers than would otherwise occur.

Now that the technology exists to overcome the administrative difficulties that resulted in the current definition of paying State, the Department believes it is appropriate to more tightly conform the regulations to UCs character as wage insurance by making the paying State any State where the individual earned insured wages.  Most claims are now filed by telephone or via the Internet, and States can now instantly access each others wage information and transfer wages electronically or CWCs.  Information about the weekly benefit amounts and other eligibility requirements of various State laws is now easily accessible.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under Title XII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1321 et seq.), States may, when needed, obtain repayable advances from the Federal unemployment account in the Unemployment Trust Fund to pay State unemployment compensation benefits.  States may be exempted from the requirement to pay interest on these advances under certain conditions, including the condition that the State meets funding goals established by the Secretary of Labor in regulations.  The regulation would establish these funding goals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NPRM is designed to initiate a redesign of the H-2B application process by which employers seek temporary nonagricultural labor.  Under a redesigned H-2B program, employers seeking to use H-2B workers, except for applications filed for employment in Guam or in logging, will file directly with the National Processing Centers of the Employment and Training Administration, instead of with the State Workforce Agency, as under the current regulation.  Each employer will be required to conduct recruitment before filing its application.  The application will include a number of attestations concerning labor market and related issues.  DOL will audit selected applications and supervise additional recruitment where it is determined to be necessary.  Employers will be expected to have documentation available to support their attestations and to provide such documentation to DOL immediately upon request.  DOL retains a debarment authority in selected cases after notice to the employer and opportunity for a hearing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Senior Community Service Employment Program; Performance Accountability</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Older Americans Act Amendments of 2006, Public Law 109-365, enacted on October 17, 2006, contains provisions amending title V of that Act, that authorizes the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP).  The amendments, effective July 1, 2007, make substantial changes to the current SCSEP provisions in the Older Americans Act relating to performance accountability.

Section 513 of title V requires that the Agency establish and implement new measures of performance by July 1, 2007.  Section 513(b) requires that the Secretary issue definitions of indicators of performance through regulation after consultation with stakeholders.  Therefore, this Interim Final Rule is intended to implement changes to the SCSEP program performance accountability regulations found at 20 CFR 641 in subpart G.  Changes to other subparts of part 641 will be implemented through a separate Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The 2006 Amendments to the Older Americans Act (OAA-2006) were enacted on October 17, 2006.  The amendments instituted a number of significant changes to the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) including time limits on the participation of eligible individuals, new enrollment priorities, streamlined and strengthened performance measures, more training options for participants, new limits on participant fringe benefits, and required open competition of national grants every four years.

The Department was required to implement the new performance measures by July 1, 2007 and published an Interim Final Rule on these requirements in the Federal Register on June 29, 2007 (72 FR 35832).  However, SCSEP grantees were advised that they were responsible for complying with all the OAA-2006 changes as of July 1, 2007, as communicated in administrative guidance issued on June 11, 2007.  Since OAA-2006 instituted so many significant changes in addition to those relating to performance accountability, it is important that regulations implementing the full requirements of the amendments be issued consistent with the identified timetable.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Attestations by Facilities Temporarily Employing H-1C Nonimmigrant Aliens as Registered Nurses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Final Rule reflects the extension of the H-1C visa program, which was extended by Public Law 109-423--Reauthorization of H-1C Program under the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 2005.  In 2000, the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106-95; Nov. 12, 1999) amended the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a temporary visa program for nonimmigrant aliens to work as registered nurses for up to three years in facilities serving health professional shortage areas, subject to certain conditions.  The NRDAA specified that the H-1C visas were available only during the 4-year period beginning on the date that interim or final regulations were promulgated.  Under this Act, the Department published an interim rule, on August 22, 2000 (65 FR 51137), which was open for public comment through September 20, 2004.  On April 24, 2006, the Department determined that continued rulemaking was neither necessary nor appropriate at that time, because health care facilities could not sponsor new H-1C visas and no new H-1C visas could be issued.  Therefore, the Department discontinued this rulemaking (71 FR 22912).  However, given the new statutory authorization for the program, the Department has determined it is appropriate to finalize the rule.  Section 3 of Public Law 109-423 has exempted this rulemaking from the Administrative Procedure Act so additional notice and comment are unnecessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to the Department of Labor Benefit Regulations for Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers Under the Trade Act of 1974, as Amended</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform 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 changes regarding trade adjustment assistance (TAA) program benefits.

It is the Agency's intention to create a new 20 CFR part 618 to incorporate the amendments and write it in plain English, while amending the WIA regulations at 20 CFR parts 665 and 671 regarding Rapid Response and National Emergency Grants as they relate to the TAA program. 

The proposed part 618 consists of 9 subparts: Subpart A--General; subpart B--Petitions and Determinations of Eligibility to Apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (and Alternative TAA); subpart C--Delivery of Services throughout the One-Stop Delivery System; subpart D--Job Search Allowances; subpart E--Relocation Allowances; subpart F--Training Services; subpart G--Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA); subpart H--Administration by Applicable State Agencies; and subpart I--Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance for Older Workers.  Because of the complexity of the subject matter and the States needs for definitive instructions on providing TAA benefits, the rulemaking for part 618 is divided into three parts.  This rulemaking covers the general provisions (most of subpart A) and TAA benefits portions (subpart C through subpart H) of the regulations.  Separate rulemakings will cover the two remaining subparts and reserved definitions in subpart A.  One rulemaking, subpart I, will cover benefits under the alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance program.  The other rulemaking, subpart B, will cover the petitions and certification process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance Benefits; Amendment of Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform 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, generally effective 90 days from enactment (Nov. 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 changes regarding Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program benefits.  They also create the Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) program for older workers, which was effective no later than one year after the enactment of the amendments on August 6, 2002.

It is the Agencys intention to create a new 20 CFR part 618 to incorporate the amendments and write it in plain English, while amending the WIA regulations at 20 CFR parts 655 and 671 regarding Rapid Response and National Emergency Grants as they relate to the TAA program.

The proposed part 618 consists of 9 subparts: Subpart A--General; subpart B--Petitions and Determinations of Eligibility to Apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (and alternative TAA); subpart C--Delivery of Services throughout the One-Stop Delivery System; subpart D--Job Search Allowances; subpart E--Relocation Allowances; subpart F--Training Services; subpart G--Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA); subpart H--Administration by Applicable State Agencies; and subpart I--Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) for Older Workers.

Because of the complexity of the subject matter and the States' needs for definitive instructions on providing TAA benefits, the rulemaking for part 618 was originally divided into two parts: the first covering TAA benefits (subpart A and subparts C through H); and the second covering petitions and certifications (subpart B and certain definitions in subpart A) and ATAA (subpart I). To expedite the publication of guidance on ATAA, this second NPRM was divided, and ATAA is proceeding under this original RIN 1205-AB40.

This rulemaking covers the issuance of ATAA benefits for older workers (subpart I).  Separate rulemakings cover benefits (subpart A and subparts C through H) and petitions and determinations (subpart B and certain definitions in subpart A).]]></ABSTRACT>

Changes in this rulemaking address long-standing issues such as the large size of State and Local Workforce Investment Boards; the sequence of core, intensive and training services; the governors authority over eligible training providers; and the availability of Individual Training Accounts to youth.  In addition, the changes address the method of delivery of Wagner-Peyser Act-funded services.

        <RULE_TITLE>Labor Certification for the Permanent Employment of Aliens in the United States; Reducing the Incentives and Opportunities for Fraud and Abuse and Enhancing Program Integrity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Labor is amending its regulations to enhance program integrity and reduce the incentives and opportunities for fraud and abuse related to the permanent employment of aliens in the United States.  
This Final Rule includes several major provisions.  It prohibits the substitution of alien beneficiaries on permanent labor certification applications and resulting certifications.  The Final Rule provides a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications; employers will have 180 calendar days within which to file an approved permanent labor certification in support of a Form I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140 hereafter) with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).  The rule prohibits the sale, barter, or purchase of permanent labor certifications and applications.  In addition, this rule requires employers to pay the costs of preparing, filing, and obtaining certification.  An employer's transfer to the alien beneficiary of the employer's costs incurred in the labor certification or application process is strictly prohibited.  The rule makes clear an alien may pay his or her own legitimate costs in the permanent labor certification process, including attorneys fees for representation of the alien.  The rule also reinforces existing law pertaining to the submission of fraudulent or false information and clarifies current DOL procedures for responding to incidents of possible fraud.  Finally, the rule establishes procedures for debarment from the permanent labor certification program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the regulation that defines when participant moneys paid to or withheld by an employer for contribution to an employee benefit plan constitute "plan assets" for purposes of title I of ERISA and the related prohibited transaction provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  The regulation contains an amendment to the current regulation that will establish a safe harbor period of a specified number of business days during which certain moneys that a participant pays to, or has withheld by, an employer for contribution to a plan would not constitute "plan assets."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibited Transaction Exemption for Provision of Investment Advice to Participants in Individual Account Plans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 601 of the Pension Protection Act (PL 109-280) amended ERISA by adding new section 408(b)(14) and 408(g).  Section 408(b)(14) is a prohibited transaction exemption that permits the provision of investment advice to participants or beneficiaries of certain individual account plans if the investment advice is provided under an eligible investment advice arrangement, as defined in section 408(g). In order to qualify as an eligible investment advice arrangement, the arrangement must either provide that any fees received by the adviser do not vary depending on the basis of any investment options selected, or use a computer model under an investment advice program that meets the criteria set forth in section 408(g) in connection with the provision of investment advice.  Further, with respect to both types of advice arrangements, the investment adviser must disclose to advice recipients all fees that the adviser or any affiliate is to receive in connection with the advice.  Section 408(g) requires that the computer model which serves as the basis for an eligible investment advice arrangement be certified by an eligible investment expert in accordance with rules prescribed by the Secretary of Labor.  Section 408(g) also directs the Secretary of Labor to issue a model form for the required disclosure of fees.  EBSA published a Request for Information that invited interested persons to submit written comments and suggestions concerning the expertise and procedures that may be needed to certify that a computer model meets the statutory criteria, and the content, types and designs of fee disclosure materials currently used and their usefulness to plan participants.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Department is proposing this safe harbor in light of revisions to Interpretive Bulletin 95-1 required by section 625 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 clarifying that the fiduciary standards in Interpretive Bulletin 95-1 do not apply to the selection of an annuity provider for benefit distributions from an individual account plan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 508 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) amended section 105 of ERISA to require plans that are subject to ERISA to automatically provide participants and certain beneficiaries with individual pension benefit statements. Generally, defined benefit plans must provide the statement every three years, with an annual alternative. Individual account plans that permit participant direction must provide the statement quarterly and individual account plans that do not permit participant direction must provide the statement annually. The PPA directed the Department of Labor to provide a model statement within one year of enactment of the statute and the Department has been given interim final rulemaking authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 404(c)(1) of ERISA provides that, where a participant or beneficiary of an employee pension benefit plan exercises control over assets in an individual account maintained for him or her under the plan, the participant or beneficiary is not considered a fiduciary by reason of his or her exercise of control and other plan fiduciaries are relieved of liability under part 4 of title I of ERISA for the results of such exercise of control. As part of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, section 404(c) was amended to provide relief accorded by section 404(c)(1) to fiduciaries that invest participant assets in certain types of investment alternatives in the absence of participant investment direction.  The Pension Protection Act directed the Department to issue final default investment regulations under section 404(c)(5)(A) of ERISA no later than 6 months after the date of enactment of the Pension Protection Act. This rulemaking responds to a need on the part of plan sponsors and fiduciaries for guidance on the selection of default investments for plan participants who fail to make an investment election. Such guidance would also improve retirement savings for millions of American workers.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

In addition, failure to issue final default investment regulations under section 404(c)(5)(A) of ERISA no later than 6 months after the date of enactment of the Pension Protection Act would contravene section 624 of the Pension Protection Act.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal supplements previously published proposed revisions to the Form 5500 Annual Return/Report as required by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA).  Specifically, this proposal includes separate Schedules B for single-employer plans and multiemployer plans reflecting PPA changes in funding and annual reporting requirements; new questions to the Schedule R and Schedule H designed to collect additional information regarding single and multiemployer pension defined benefit plans; and a proposal to have the Form 5500-SF Annual Return/Report be the simplified report required under the PPA for plans with fewer than 25 participants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EBSA is conducting a review of the guidelines applicable to determining when a qualified public accountant is independent for purposes of auditing and rendering an opinion on the financial information required to be included in the annual report of an employee benefit plan for purposes of section 103(a)(3)(A) of ERISA.  The current guidelines, set forth as an Interpretive Bulletin at 29 CFR 2509.75-9, were adopted in 1975.  Given the changes that have taken place with respect to employee benefit plans and auditing practices and standards, as well as changes in the industry, since the issuance of those guidelines, EBSA is preparing a Request for Information that will invite interested persons to submit written comments and suggestions concerning whether and to what extent the current guidelines should be modified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Civil Penalties Under ERISA Section 502(c)(7)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the civil penalty regulation at section 2560.502c-7 to reflect recent amendments in the Pension Protection Act of 2006, to section 502(c)(7) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended (ERISA).  These amendments authorize the Secretary of Labor to assess civil penalties not to exceed $100 per day for each violation of section 101(m) of ERISA.  Section 101(m) of ERISA requires plan administrators of individual account plans to notify participants and beneficiaries of their right to sell the company stock in their accounts and reinvest the proceeds into other investments available under the plan.  This civil penalty rule makes only technical changes in order to conform  section 2560.502c-7, as amended by the PPA.  Existing procedures for assessing or contesting civil penalties are not changed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (H.R. 3448) enacted on August 20, 1996 (Pub. L. 104-188, title II) amended the Portal-to-Portal Act (PA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (Pub. L. 110-28) also amended the FLSA by increasing the minimum wage in three steps: to $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007; to $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and to $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. Changes will be required in the regulations to reflect these amendments.  Other updates will address needed clarifications to additional sections of the regulations, including sections affected by Public Law 106-151, section 1 (December 9, 1999), 113 stat. 1731, and Public Law 106-202 (May 18, 2000), 114 stat. 308.]]></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 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., 535 U.S. 81 (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 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. The Department intends to propose revisions to address issues raised by this and other judicial decisions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Labor continues to review the Fair Labor Standards Act child labor provisions to ensure that the implementing regulations provide job opportunities for working youth that are healthy and safe and not detrimental to their education, as required by the statute (29 U.S.C. sections 203(l), 212(c), 213(c), and 216(e)). This proposed rule will update the regulations to reflect statutory amendments enacted in 2004, and will propose, among other updates, revisions to address several recommendations of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in its 2002 report to the Department of Labor on the child labor Hazardous Occupations Orders (HOs) (available at http://www.youthrules.dol.gov/resources.htm). This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is related to a separate Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (see related RIN: 1215-AB44) that requests additional data and public input to supplement the conclusions and recommendations on certain of the HOs contained in the NIOSH report for consideration in additional possible revisions that may be undertaken in subsequent rulemaking actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Interpretive Guidelines Governing the Employee Protective Provisions of the Federal Transit Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to Section 5333(b) of the Federal Transit law, the Department of Labor (Department) must certify, as a condition of certain grants of Federal financial assistance, fair and equitable labor protective provisions to protect the interests of employees affected by such Federal assistance. The Department administers this program through guidelines set forth at 29 CFR part 215.  The Department's proposed changes conform the guidelines to recently enacted Federal legislation, in particular, sections 3013(h) and 3031 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act  A Legacy for Users (Pub. L. No. 109-59, 119 Stat. 1144 (2005)) (SAFETEA-LU).  In addition to changes mandated by statute, the Department also proposes revisions to the guidelines that will enhance the speed and efficiency of the Departments processing of grant certifications.  The proposed revisions to existing procedures for processing grant application under Federal transit law will ensure timely certification in a predictable manner, and will remain consistent with the transit law's statutory objectives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration proposes to establish standards and procedures by which the Office of Labor Management Standards, pursuant to section 208 of the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), 29 U.S.C. 438, may revoke the privilege of a labor organization to file a simplified annual financial disclosure report, Form LM-3, and instead require it to file the more detailed Form LM-2.  The Department also proposes to establish reporting requirements and create a form to be used by labor organizations to file trust annual financial reports pursuant to section 208 of the LMRDA.  The Department proposes to revise Form LM-2.  The proposed revisions will improve financial disclosure and clarity within categories of receipts and disbursements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination Obligations of Contractors and Subcontractors Regarding Disabled, Recently Separated, Other Protected, and Armed Forces Service Medal Veterans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) created a new regulation implementing the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) 38 U.S.C. 4212, to conform to the Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA).  JVA amended VEVRAA in four ways.  First, JVA raised contract coverage from $25,000 to $100,000.  Second, JVA 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, JVA 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, JVA changed Special Disabled Veterans to Disabled Veterans, expanding the coverage to conform to 38 U.S.C. section 4211(3).  This rule also increased the AAP threshold from $50,000 to $100,000 and made other changes to the regulations.  The VEVRAA Final Rule implementing the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 and Veterans Benefits Health Care Improvement Act of 2000 at 41 CFR 60 to 250 is RIN 1215-AB24.]]></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 50µg/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.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Over 2 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 workers, 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.

        <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 planning to use this information to develop a proposed rule addressing occupational exposure to beryllium.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Response and Preparedness</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Emergency responder health and safety is currently regulated primarily under the following standards: The fire brigade standard (29 CFR 1910.156); hazardous waste operations and emergency response (29 CFR 1910.120); the respiratory protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134); the permit-required confined space standard (29 CFR 1910.146); and the bloodborne pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030). Some of these standards were promulgated decades ago and none were designed as comprehensive emergency response standards. Consequently, they do not address the full range of hazards or concerns currently facing emergency responders. Many do not reflect major changes in performance specifications for protective clothing and equipment. Current OSHA standards also do not reflect all the major developments in safety and health practices that have already been accepted by the emergency response community and incorporated into National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and American National Standards Institute consensus standards. OSHA will be collecting information to evaluate what action the agency should take.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>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.  As a result of the comments received on that notice, OSHA has determined that the rule proposed in 1990 is out-of-date and does not reflect current industry practice or technology.  The Agency will develop a new proposal, modified to reflect current information, as well as re-assess the impact.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A number of industry stakeholders asked OSHA to update the cranes and derricks portion of subpart N (29 CFR 1926.550), specifically requesting that negotiated rulemaking be used.

In 2002 OSHA published a notice of intent to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee.  A year later, in 2003, committee members were announced and the Cranes and Derricks Negotiated Rulemaking Committee was established and held its first meeting.  In July 2004, the committee reached consensus on all issues resulting in a final consensus document.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is continuing its efforts to remove or revise duplicative, unnecessary, and inconsistent safety and health standards.  This effort builds upon the success of the Standards Improvement Project (SIPs) Phase I published on June 18, 1998 (63 FR 33450) and Phase II published on January 5, 2005 (70 FR 1111).  The Agency believes that such changes can reduce compliance costs and reduce the paperwork burden associated with a number of its standards.  The Agency will only consider such changes if they do not diminish employee protections.  To initiate the project, OSHA will be publishing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit input from the public on rules that may be addressed in Phase III of SIPS.  The Agency plans to include both safety and health topics in Phase III.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazard Communication</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires chemical manufacturers and importers to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and material safety data sheets to convey the hazards and associated protective measures to users of the chemicals. All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces are required to have a hazard communication program, including labels on containers, material safety data sheets (MSDS), and training for employees. Within the United States (US), there are other Federal agencies that also have requirements for classification and labeling of chemicals at different stages of the life cycle. Internationally, there are a number of countries that have developed similar laws that require information about chemicals to be prepared and transmitted to affected parties. These laws vary with regard to the scope of substances covered, definitions of hazards, the specificity of requirements (e.g., specification of a format for MSDSs), and the use of symbols and pictograms. The inconsistencies between the various laws are substantial enough that different labels and safety data sheets must often be used for the same product when it is marketed in different nations.

The diverse and sometimes conflicting national and international requirements can create confusion among those who seek to use hazard information. Labels and safety data sheets may include symbols and hazard statements that are unfamiliar to readers or not well understood. Containers may be labeled with such a large volume of information that important statements are not easily recognized. Development of multiple sets of labels and safety data sheets is a major compliance burden for chemical manufacturers, distributors, and transporters involved in international trade. Small businesses may have particular difficulty in coping with the complexities and costs involved.

As a result of this situation, and in recognition of the extensive international trade in chemicals, there has been a longstanding effort to harmonize these requirements and develop a system that can be used around the world. In 2003, the United Nations adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Countries are now considering adoption of the GHS into their national regulatory systems. There is an international goal to have as many countries as possible implement the GHS by 2008. OSHA is considering modifying its HCS to make it consistent with the GHS. This would involve changing the criteria for classifying health and physical hazards, adopting standardized labeling requirements, and requiring a standardized order of information for safety data sheets.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Multiple sets of requirements for labels and safety data sheets present a compliance burden for U.S. manufacturers, distributors and transports involved in international trade.  Adoption of the GHS would facilitate international trade in chemicals, reduce the burdens caused by having to comply with differing requirements for the same product, and allow companies that have not had the resources to deal with those burdens to be involved in international trade.  This is particularly important for small producers who may be precluded currently from international trade because of the compliance resources required to address the extensive regulatory requirements for classification and labeling of chemicals.  Thus every producer is likely to experience some benefits from domestic harmonization, in addition to the benefits that will accrue to producers involved in international trade.  

Additionally, comprehensibility of hazard information will be enhanced as the GHS will: (1) Provide consistent information and definitions for hazardous chemicals; (2) address stakeholder concerns regarding the need for a standardized format for material safety data sheets; and (3) increase understanding by using standardized pictograms and harmonized hazard statements. 

Several nations, as well as the European Union, are preparing proposals for adoption of the GHS.  US manufacturers, employers, and employees will be at a disadvantage in the event that our system of hazard communication is not compliant with  the GHS.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision and Update of Standards for Power Presses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) mechanical power press standard (29 CFR 1910.217) protects employees from injuries that result from working with or around mechanical power presses through the use of machine guards (prevents hands in danger zone) and through limitations on initiation of a press cycle (either two-hand or foot operated).  A presence-sensing device (PSD), typically a light curtain, initiates a press cycle only when the system indicates that no objects, such as a hand, are within the hazard zone.  OSHA adopted the use of presence-sensing device initiation (PSDI) on mechanical power presses believing that the provision would substantially protect workers and improve productivity.  However, OSHA requires PSDI systems to be validated by an OSHA-certified third party, and no organization has agreed to validate PSDI installations.  OSHA performed a lookback review of PSDI and determined that the current ANSI standard permits PSDI without independent validation but includes other provisions to maintain PSDI safety.

Based on its completion of the look-back review of PSDI (69 FR 31927), OSHA is planning to revise and update the standard on power presses, which currently covers only mechanical power presses.  OSHA will base the revision of the 2001 or later edition of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard on Mechanical Power Presses, ANSI B11.1.  Further, OSHA is considering expanding the standard to cover other presses such as hydraulic and pneumatic power presses and to include the latest guarding techniques.  This revision will provide the first major update of the Mechanical Power Presses Standard since it was originally published in 1971.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories Fee Schedule--Revised Approach</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is proposing to adjust the fees that the Agency charges for the services it provides to Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs). A number of OSHA standards require that certain products and equipment used in the workplace be tested and certified by an organization that has been recognized by OSHA. OSHA requires NRTL applicants  to provide detailed and comprehensive information about their programs, processes, and procedures in writing when they apply. OSHA reviews the written information and conducts an on-site assessment to determine whether the organization meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA uses a similar process when an NRTL applies for expansion or renewal of its recognition. In addition, the Agency conducts annual audits to ensure that the recognized laboratories maintain their programs and continue to meet the recognition requirements.

In 2000, OSHA began charging NRTLs for the services it provides them. The services are processing of NRTL applications and audits of NRTL operations, and they define the fundamental functions of the NRTL Program. OSHA has determined that its current NRTL fee schedule does not recoup the full costs of the services performed because it does not recover certain indirect costs of those services.  These indirect costs stem from attendant activities and accrue to the benefit of those services. OSHAs proposed fee schedule would account for these indirect costs.  In determining the revised fee structure, OSHA will follow the guidelines established by the Office of Management and Budget in Circular Number A-25.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published the revised standard for respiratory protection on January 8, 1998.  Appendix A of this standard currently lists four challenge agents permitted for use in qualitative fit testing protocols; these include isoamyl acetate, saccharin aerosol solution, irritant smoke, and Bitrix (denatonium benzoate).  The standard also includes procedures that allow parties to submit new fit testing protocols for notice-and-comment rulemaking under section 6(b)(7) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.  OSHA has been requested to consider adding a new fit testing protocol that modifies the existing Bitrix protocol, and is undergoing rulemaking to seek public comment and determine whether to amend the fit testing provisions of the standard to include the proposed protocol.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oregon State Plan--Resumption of Concurrent Federal Enforcement of Temporary Labor Camp Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA will propose to reassert concurrent federal enforcement authority in Oregon under section 18 of the OSH Act with regard to its temporary labor camp standard (29 CFR 1910.142). This action would be taken in response to deficiencies in the temporary labor camp standards adopted and enforced by Oregon under its OSHA-approved occupational safety and health state plan.  This Federal authority would be exercised jointly by OSHA and by the Wage and Hour Division of the Employment Standards Administration, under a January 1997 delegation of authority by the Secretary of Labor.  Following a public comment period, OSHA will make a final determination as to whether to reassert concurrent Federal enforcement authority in Oregon regarding temporary labor camps.  The Oregon State plan is administered by the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (OR-OSHA) of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Diacetyl and Food Flavorings Containing Diacetyl</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 26, 2006, the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) petitioned DOL for an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) for all employees exposed to diacetyl, a major component in artificial butter flavoring.  Diacetyl and a number of other volatile organic compounds are used to manufacture artificial butter food flavorings. These food flavorings are used by various food manufacturers in a multitude of food products including microwave popcorn, certain bakery goods, and some snack foods.  OSHA denied the petition on September 25, 2007.

Evidence from NIOSH and other sources indicated that employee exposure to diacetyl and food flavorings containing diacetyl is associated with bronchiolitis obliterans, a debilitating and potentially fatal disease of the small airways in the lung.  Severe obstructive airway disease has been observed in the microwave popcorn industry and in food flavoring manufacturing plants.  Experimental evidence has shown that inhalation exposure to artificial butter flavoring vapors and diacetyl damaged tissue lining, the nose, and airways of rats and mice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Longshoring and Marine Terminals (Parts 1917 and 1918)--Reopening of the Record (Vertical Tandem Lifts (VTLs))</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.  The extended comment period concluded February 13, 2004, and an informal public hearing was held on July 29 to 30, 2004.  The rulemaking record was open through November 30, 2004.  Subsequently, new information was submitted to the docket.  The Administrative Law Judge gave hearing participants 45 days to review this information and comment on it.  Comments were due June 27, 2005.   The Agency is analyzing the information and comments received to prepare the final action.]]></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 has developed 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 also addresses fall protection in aerial lifts for power generation, transmission and distribution work. OSHA published an NPRM on June 15, 2005.  A public hearing was held March 6 to 14, 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Employer Payment for Personal Protective Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Generally, OSHA standards require that protective equipment (including personal protective equipment (PPE)) be provided and used when necessary to protect employees from hazards that can cause them injury, illness, or physical harm. In this discussion, OSHA uses the abbreviation PPE to cover both personal protective equipment and other protective equipment. In 1999, OSHA proposed to require employers to pay for PPE, with a few exceptions. The Agency continues to consider how to address this issue, and re-opened the record on July 8, 2004, to get input on issues related to PPE considered to be a "tool of the trade."  The comment period ended August 23, 2004.]]></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 more than 30 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 undertaking a multi-year project to update these standards.  A notice describing the project was published in the Federal Register on November 24, 2004 (69 FR 68283). The first final rule was published on September 13, 2005.  Several additional sets of standards are in preparation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is 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. Initially, OSHA planned to revise the pyrotechnics requirements in this NPRM.  However, based on our work to date, it appears appropriate to reserve action on these requirements for a second phase of rulemaking.  The agency therefore plans to propose revisions to 29 CFR 1910.109 without any changes to the existing pyrotechnics requirements, and at a future date will develop a proposed rule for pyrotechnics revision.  OSHA published a proposed rule on April 13, 2007, and is planning to publish a revised proposed rule to further clarify certain aspects of the proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 629, the employee protection provision of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, amended the Energy Reorganization Act of 1978, 42 U.S.C. section 5851.  The amendments add Department of Energy and Nuclear Regulatory Commission employees to the employees covered under the Act, as are contractors and subcontractors of the Commission.  In addition, Congress added a "kick-out" provision allowing the complainant to remove the complaint to District Court if the Secretary of Labor has not issued a final decision within a year of the filing of the complaint.  These are significant changes to the ERA, necessitating immediate revision of the regulations, 29 CFR part 24, Procedures for the Handling of Discrimination Complaints under Federal Employee Protection Statutes, which governs whistleblower investigations under the Energy Reorganization Act of 1978 as well as under the six EPA statutes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>South Carolina State Plan--Revision of State Health Compliance Staffing Benchmarks </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA will issue a direct final rule revising South Carolinas State health compliance  staffing benchmark under section 18 of the OSH Act. This action would revise the compliance staffing benchmarks applicable to the South Carolina State plan, which were originally established in 1980 in response to the U.S. Court of Appeals decision in AFL-CIO v. Marshall, 570 F. 2d 1030 (D.C. Cir., 1978) and subsequently revised in 1986.  South Carolinas current staffing benchmarks are 17 safety inspectors and 12 health compliance personnel. South Carolina has proposed to reduce its health compliance staffing benchmarks from 12 to 10 health compliance personnel, utilizing a formula and providing documentation in accordance with established procedures.  The States safety compliance staffing benchmarks of 17 safety inspectors would remain the same. This direct final rule will become effective 60 days after publication unless significant adverse comment is received within 30 days.  If OSHA receives significant adverse comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal of this rule and determine based on the comments submitted to the record, whether to issue a proposed rule in the future.  The South Carolina State plan was initially approved on November 30, 1972, received final approval on December 15, 1987 and is administered by the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (SCDLLR). In accordance with the Court order, States are required to maintain compliance staffing levels as established in their approved safety and health compliance staffing benchmarks as a condition of their final State plan approval status.]]></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. Work continues on collecting and analyzing information to determine technological and economic feasibility of possible approaches.]]></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. A request for information was published on May 3, 2005.  Subsequently, the National Academy of Science released the latest version of a significant report on the biological effects of ionizing radiation.  OSHA extended the comment period on the request for information to ensure commenters had the opportunity to consider this new report.  The next step for the ionizing radiation project is to hold discussions with key stakeholders.  OSHA also held a series of meetings targeted to specific stakeholder groups including State organizations with responsibility for worker exposure to ionizing radiation, professional associations and specific industry groups such as dental, medical, and veterinary professionals.  OSHA continues to collect information on current practices, the use of radiation devices, and approaches to protecting employees from exposure to ionizing radiation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Continuous Personal Dust Monitors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 24, 2003, MSHA announced that all work on its Plan Verification and Single-Sample Respirable Coal Mine Dust final rules would cease and the rulemaking record would remain open in order to obtain information concerning Continuous Personal Dust Monitors (CPDMs) currently being tested by NIOSH.  A Federal Register notice was published on July 3, 2003, extending the comment periods indefinitely.  NIOSH issued a report on the CPDM in September 2006, and another report concerning test results in June 2007.  MSHA will solicit public input on potential applications of this new monitoring technology in coal mines.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Respirable coal mine dust levels in this country are significantly lower than they were over two decades ago.  Despite this progress, there continues to be concern about our current sampling program and MSHA's ability to accurately measure and maintain respirable coal mine dust at or below the applicable standard. The new CPDM, unlike the technology that has been employed since 1970 to measure concentrations of respirable coal mine dust, offers the capability to provide accurate and timely continuous readings of the dust level during a shift.  Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) will assist the Agency in determining: (1) how to deploy the CPDM in coal mines and utilize its coal dust monitoring capability to further improve miner health protection from disabling occupational lung disease; and (2) the regulatory and non-regulatory actions that would promote its use for exposure monitoring and control.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This RFI is authorized by sections 101 and 103 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[Respirable coal dust is one of the most serious occupational hazards in the mining industry. Occupational exposure to excessive levels of respirable coal mine dust can cause black lung, which is potentially disabling and can cause death. MSHA is pursuing both regulatory and nonregulatory actions to eliminate this disease through the control of coal mine respirable dust levels in mines and reduction of miners exposure.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The fire protection requirement in 30 CFR 75.1100-2(a)(2) requires rock dust and water at the underground workings at anthracite coal mines, and 30 CFR 75.1100-2(e)(2) requires a fire extinguisher and rock dust at temporary electrical installations.  MSHA has granted 101(c) petitions for modification allowing operators to use only fire extinguishers in lieu of rock dust and other requirements at these two locations.  This direct final rule, also issued as a proposed rule, would eliminate the need to file petitions to use this alternative method of compliance without reducing protection for miners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Diesel Particulate Matter:  Conversion Factor From Total Carbon to Elemental Carbon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May, 18, 2006, MSHA promulgated its final rule on Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) Exposure of Underground Metal and Nonmetal Miners (71 FR 28924), phasing in the final diesel particulate matter (DPM) exposure limit over a 2-year period, with the final limit of 160 TC micrograms of total Carbon per cubic meter of air to become effective on May 20, 2008. The DPM exposure limit is expressed in terms of a TC or total carbon limit. MSHA is initiating a new rulemaking to establish the most appropriate measure for determining compliance with the final DPM exposure limit. Using the latest available evidence, MSHA will be examining the most appropriate conversion factor for a comparable elemental carbon (EC) limit. An EC measurement ensures that a TC exposure limit is valid and not the result of environmental interferences.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[A number of epidemiological studies have found that exposure to diesel exhaust presents potential health risks to 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. MSHA believes that the health evidence forms a reasonable basis for reducing miners' exposure to diesel particulate matter. Proceeding with a separate rulemaking to determine the correct TC to EC conversion factor for the phased-in final limits will more effectively reduce miners' exposures to DPM.]]></RISKS>

        <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).  MSHA proposed a rule to lower the asbestos PELs to an 8-hour time-weighted average of 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter (f/cc) of air and the excursion limit to 1.0 f/cc of air as averaged over a 30 minute sampling period, which would reduce asbestos-induced occupational disease among miners.  The proposed PELs are the same as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHAs) PELs.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Current scientific data indicate that MSHA's existing asbestos PEL is not sufficiently 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 million particles per cubic foot of air (mppcf).  Other Federal agencies have addressed this issue by lowering their asbestos PELs.  These lower limits reflect new information and studies that compare asbestos-related disease risk to the number of asbestos-exposed workers.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Agency increased sampling to determine miners exposure levels to asbestos.  In early 2000, MSHA began an extensive sampling effort at operations with potential asbestos exposure including taking samples at all existing vermiculite, taconite, talc, and other mines to determine the level of asbestos present.  While sampling, MSHA staff also discussed various potential hazards of asbestos with miners and mine operators and the types of preventive measures that could be implemented to reduce exposures.  

The final rule will be based on comments and testimony to the proposed rule as well as MSHA sampling and inspection experience.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The anticipated costs of the proposed rule to the mining industry would be approximately $136,000 annually. Of this total amount, the cost to the metal and nonmetal mining sector would be $91,500, and the cost to the coal mining sector would be $44,600.

MSHA estimates that between 1 and 19 deaths could be prevented over the next 65 years, which represents approximately 9 to 84 percent of all occupationally related deaths caused by asbestos exposure.  Under the proposed exposure limit, approximately 1 out of every 1,000 miners will avoid the risk of death from asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma, or other forms of cancer attributed to asbestos exposure.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Miners could be exposed to the hazards of asbestos at mine operations where ore body contains asbestos.  In addition, miners could be exposed to asbestos at facilities that install, remove or work with material containing asbestos.

        <RULE_TITLE>High-Voltage Continuous Mining Machine Standard for Underground Coal Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHAs July 16, 2004, NPRM (69 FR 42812) proposed to establish design requirements for approval of high-voltage continuous mining machines operating where miners work in underground coal mines.  The rule also proposed to establish new mandatory electrical safety standards for the installation, use, and maintenance of the high-voltage continuous mining machines.  

MSHA published a supplemental NPRM on March 28, 2006 (71 FR 15359). The supplemental NPRM proposed and requested comments on two issues arising from oral and written comments that MSHA received during the hearing and post-hearing comment period on the NPRM. These issues involved: (1) Types of trailing cables that can be used with high-voltage continuous mining machines; and (2) a requirement to use high-voltage insulating gloves or other personal protective equipment when handling energized high-voltage trailing cables.

MSHA regularly receives petitions for modifications from coal mine operators seeking permission to use high-voltage continuous mining machines.  MSHA believes that, with appropriate safeguards, such machines are safe for use and routinely grants these petitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sealing of Abandoned Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) published an emergency temporary standard (ETS) on May 22, 2007.  Under section 101(b) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) the ETS became effective immediately; however, MSHA must publish a final rule no later than nine months after publication of the ETS.  In addition, section 10 of the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act) requires the Secretary of Labor to finalize mandatory standards relating to the sealing of abandoned areas in underground coal mines no later than December 15, 2007.  Therefore, MSHA is issuing a final rule.  This final rule will include new comprehensive standards for underground coal mines regarding seal design approval, strength and installation approval, construction, maintenance and repair, sampling and monitoring, training, and recordkeeping, all of which are necessary to protect miners from hazards of sealed areas.  It also implements the requirements of section 10 of the MINER Act by increasing the level of overpressure for new seals.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[MSHA issued the ETS in response to the grave danger that miners face when underground seals separating abandoned areas from active workings fail.  However, as the ETS is effective until superseded by a mandatory standard, which MSHA shall promulgate within 9 months after publication of the ETS, the ETS provides miners continued critical protection that strengthens the requirement for the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of seals, as well as requirements for sampling, monitoring, and controlling atmospheres behind seals and providing training to miners constructing or repairing seals.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Promulgation of this regulation is authorized by section 101 of the Mine Act and by section 10 of the MINER Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This final rule would provide: (1) the safety protections afforded to miners by the existing ETS; and (2) additional protections through experience gained through the rule and comments received during rulemaking.  MSHA has analyzed regulatory alternatives in its regulatory economic analysis (REA) in support of the ETS.  MSHA prepared any analysis of the cost of two alternatives regarding seal application approval: (1) certification of a professional engineer along with supporting documentation; and (2) design based on actual explosion testing.  MSHA also considered and included a discussion of alternatives in the preamble to the ETS without a cost analysis.  MSHA requested comments on alternatives including seal design, sampling, construction, and seal strength.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The anticipated costs and benefits of the final rule focus on seals that would actively monitored to maintain an inert atmosphere and seals that would be strengthened to better withstand explosions, both of which would reduce injuries and fatalities.   MSHA will prepare a regulatory economic analysis for the final rules.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Underground coal mines are dynamic work environments in which the working conditions can change rapidly.  Caved, mined-out areas may contain coal dust and accumulated gas.  This gas can be ignited by rock falls, lightning and, in some instances, fires started by spontaneous combustion.

Seals are intended to isolate the environment within the sealed area from the active workings of the mine, and to prevent an explosion that may occur on the inby side of the seal from propagating to the outby side of the seal where miners work or travel.  Seals must therefore be designed to withstand elevated pressures and also to prevent the sealed atmosphere from reaching the explosive range.  Adequate seals are crucial to contain explosions and prevent potentially explosive or toxic gases from migrating into the active working areas of underground coal mines.  Miners rely on seals to protect them from the potentially hazardous environments within the sealed area.  Recent mine explosions have demonstrated that improvements in seals are needed.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA is proposing to update its mine rescue team equipment standard for underground coal and metal and nonmetal mine rescue teams.  The proposal would update the requirement for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) from 2-hour to 4-hour apparatus; increase the required oxygen and chemical reserves to maintain mine rescue teams from 6 hours to 8 hours; increase the required number of full charged oxygen bottles from one extra to two extra; and require mine rescue stations to be equipped with four approved, hand-held multi-gas detectors or four gas detectors for each gas which may be at the mine served.  The proposal would increase safety and improve effectiveness of mine rescue teams.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will revise the Mine Safety and Health Administrations (MSHA) statutory penalties found in section 110 of the Mine Act and the specific penalty amounts established in 30 CFR part 100 as mandated by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA).  The DCIA required that civil penalties be increased by up to 10 percent within 6 months of its enactment.  It also required subsequent increases at least once every 4 years using a formula based on the Consumer Price Index.  This was last accomplished by a final rule published in the Federal Register, 68 FR 6609, February 10, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Verification of Underground Coal Mine Operators&apos; Dust Control Plans and Compliance Sampling for Respirable Dust</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA's current standards 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 comment period, 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 Continuous Personal Dust Monitors being tested by NIOSH.  A Federal Register notice was published on July 3, 2003, extending the comment period indefinitely.  NIOSH issued a report on the continuous personal dust monitor in September 2006 and another report concerning test results in June of 2007.  MSHA will determine the next course of action after a review of all data and test results.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Determination of Concentration of Respirable Coal Mine Dust</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) jointly proposed that a single, full-shift measurement (single sample) would 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 F.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.  MSHA held hearings in May 2003 and the comment period, 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 collaborated with NIOSH, miners' representatives, industry and the manufacturer to test the production prototype Continuous Personal Dust Monitor (CPDM) unit.  NIOSH issued a report on the CPDM in September 2006 and another report concerning test results in June 8 2007.  MSHA will determine the next course of action after a review of all data and test results.]]></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 greater than 5.0 percent 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, an irreversible but preventable lung disease, which ultimately may be fatal.  Both formulas are designed to limit exposures to 0.1 mg/m3 (100mg) 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 50 mg/m3 exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica.  MSHA is considering several options to reduce miners' exposure to crystalline silica.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revising Electrical Product Approval Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[30 CFR part 18 (Electric Motor-Driven Mine Equipment and Accessories), describes the approval requirements for electrically operated machines and accessories intended for use in underground gassy mines, and for related matters, such as approval procedures, certification of components, and acceptance of flame-resistant hoses and conveyor belts. Aside from minor modifications, part 18 has been largely unchanged since it was promulgated in 1968. MSHA is proposing revisions to improve the efficiency of the approval process, recognize new technology, add quality assurance provisions, address existing policies through the rulemaking process, and reorganize portions of the approval regulations.  MSHA will be addressing the requirements in this NPRM in phases.  The first phase will be Flame-Resistance Testing of Mining Materials.  This action will be published first because the MINER Act requires all life lines to be flame-resistant by June 14, 2009.  The flame-resistance requirements are contained in 30 CFR part 18.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Field Modifications of Permissible Mobile Diesel-Powered Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The implementation of diesel regulations in 30 CFR parts 7, 36, 57, 72, and 75 has resulted in an increase in requests from owners of approved equipment, typically underground mine operators, to field modify permissible diesel-powered equipment.   Field modifications allow permissible equipment to be modified for mine-specific use or to comply with new diesel standards. Therefore, the Mine Safety and Health Administration is proposing to add field modification provisions to 30 CFR part 36 (Approval Requirements for Permissible Mobile Diesel-Powered Transportation Equipment).  

This proposed rule would codify the field modification process for part 36 field modification acceptances, expand the field modification process to allow mine operators to apply for field modifications, and continue to ensure that field-modified equipment operates safely in gassy underground mines.  The proposed rule would also implement existing policy which dates from 1985, to reflect current procedures for processing field modifications related to mobile diesel-powered transportation equipment.  Further, the proposed rule would require labeling provisions for all new field modifications accepted under part 36.  These new provisions would enhance miner safety.]]></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 final regulation (FR) to implement changes required by the Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA) 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. JVA 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. JVA 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 3-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 10 job categories for each hiring location. This proposal will assist VETS in meeting the statutory requirement of annually collecting the VETS-100A Report.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Passport Services Enhancement Act authorizes the Department of State to assess a surcharge on applicable fees for the filing of each passport application to offset its additional costs.  The surcharge will be collected from within the application fee and will not increase the overall current cost of the passport.]]></ABSTRACT>

By amending the rules, it will permit employers subject to FMCSA and/or FTA regulations to comply with a States specific drug and/or alcohol reporting requirement which currently conflicts with the Departments rules on blank releases of confidential testing information.]]></ABSTRACT>

With respect to oxygen, the main alternative would be to simply require carriers to allow passengers to bring on their own portable oxygen containers or to also allow carriers to provide oxygen to passengers who need it.  With respect to accommodations for deaf and hard of hearing passengers, the main alternative would be to not change the current rule, which has fewer such accommodations.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

The only remaining issues are minor amendments to 14 CFR Part 204 to update existing language in Part 204.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standard Time Zone Boundary in Southwest, Indiana </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOT proposes to relocate the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Knox, Davies, Martin, Pike, and Dubois Counties from the Central Time Zone to the Eastern Time Zone. This action is taken at the request of the Boards of Commissioners of each of the Counties. DOT requests comment on whether this change would serve the convenience of commerce, the statutory standard for a time zone change and whether the time zone boundary should be changed for other contiguous counties in southwestern Indiana. Persons supporting or opposing the change should not assume that the change will be made merely because DOT is making the proposal. The final rule will be based on all of the information received during the entire rulemaking proceeding and whether the statutory standard has been met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) final rule, published September 6, 1991, 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 rulemaking would address these issues and propose feasible requirements to make passenger vessels accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities.  The Final Rule is not available at this time due to necessary additional coordination.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking requested public comments from reporting carriers and aviation data users on the nature, scope, source, and means for collecting, processing, and distributing airline traffic, fare, and financial data.  Specifically, it invited comments on whether existing airline traffic, fare, and financial data should be amended, supplemented, or replaced; whether selected forms and reports should be retained, modified, or eliminated; whether OST 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 the airline industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

The NTSB has also recommended that customers be updated thereafter in the event such information changes.  The Department will evaluate the comments to determine what, if any, changes to its economic rules applicable to on-demand air taxi operators should be made.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Congress has tasked the FAA with creating the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) to accommodate the projected increase in demand for air traffic services.  The current FAA surveillance system will not be able to maintain the same level of service as operations continue to grow.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace, and Subpart III, section 44701, General requirements.  Under section 40103, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations on the flight of aircraft, including regulations on safe altitudes, navigating, protecting, and identifying aircraft, and the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace.  Under section 44701, the FAA is charged with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The FAA considered the following alternatives before proceeding with this rulemaking:
1.  Status quo.  The FAA rejected the status quo alternative because the ground based radars tracking congested flyways and passing information among the control centers for the duration of the flights is becoming operationally obsolete.  The current system is not efficient enough to accommodate the estimated increases in air traffic, which would result in mounting delays or limitations in service for many areas.   

2.  Multilateration.  Multilateration is a separate type of secondary surveillance system that is not radar and has limited deployment in the U.S.  At a minimum, multilateration requires upwards of four ground stations to deliver the same volume of coverage and integrity of information as ADS-B, due to the need to "triangulate" the aircraft's position.  Multilateration meets the need for accurate surveillance but the total life cycle system costs is very high.

3.   Exemption to small air carriers.  This alternative would mean that small air carriers would rely on the status quo ground based radars tracking their flights and passing information among the control centers for the duration of the flights.  This alternative would require compliance costs to continue for the commissioning of radar sites. Air traffic controller workload and training costs would increase having to employ two systems in tracking aircraft.  Small entities may request ATC deviations prior to operating in the airspace affected by this proposal.  It would also be contrary to our policy for one level of safety in part 121 operations to exclude certain operators simply because they are small entities.  Thus, this alternative is not considered to be acceptable.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The estimated cost of this proposed rule ranges from a low of $1.31 billion to a high of $7.51 billion dollars.  The estimated quantified potential benefits of the proposed rule are $8.11 billion and primarily result from fuel, operating cost and time savings from more efficient flights.  On a present value basis costs range from $1.0 billion to $3.95 billion, with benefits estimated at $2.02 billion (using a 7% discount rate).]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The demand for air travel is expected to double within the next 20 years.  Current FAA projections are that by 2025, operations will grow to more than half a million departures and arrivals per year at approximately 16 additional airports.  The present air traffic control system will be unable to handle this level of growth.  Not only will the current method of handling traffic flow not be able to adapt to the highest volume and density for future operations, but the nature of the new growth may be problematic, as future aviation activity will be much more diverse than it is today.  A shift of 2 percent of today's commercial passengers to very light jets that seat 4-6 passengers would result in triple the number of flights necessary to carry the same number of passengers.  Furthermore, the challenges grow with the advent of other non-conventional aircraft, such as the UAS.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In November 2006, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted Amendment 167 to increase the "upper age limit" for pilots operating in "international commercial air transport operations" to age 65, provided the other pilot is under age 60.  The rulemaking would make the FAA's upper age limit for pilots consistent with ICAO's new standard.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rulemaking is proposed under the authority described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart III, section 44701, "General requirements." Under that section, the FAA is charged with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for other practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce and national security.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[In accordance with our treaty obligations under Article 33 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, we have changed the operations specifications for foreign air carriers (that do not fly N-registered aircraft) in order to comply with the new International Civil Aviation Organization standards.  This does have the effect of allowing some pilots older than age 60 who are employed by foreign air carriers to operate within the United States.  This creates an inconsistency with U.S. certificated pilots.  We expect that this inconsistency will be resolved by the ongoing rulemaking.]]></RISKS>

Airworthiness Directives are legally enforceable rules that apply to the following type certificated products:  aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers, and appliances.  Part 39 of Title 14 requires each operator of a product affected by an AD to comply with the terms of the AD, to continue to operate that product.  The AD may mandate operational limitations, maintenance, or alterations for the affected product.  The vast majority of routine and frequent ADs are nonsignificant.

They are a nonsignificant body of regulations that are complex and technical in nature and require routine and frequent rulemaking to maintain efficiency.

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.  10/00/2004-10/00/2005.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Digital Flight Data Recorder Regulations for B-737 Airplanes and for Part 125 Operators</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the digital flight data recorder (DFDR) regulations for transport category airplanes to add a requirement for all Boeing 737 (B-737) series airplanes to record additional flight data parameters.  It is based on safety recommendations issued by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) following the investigation of the 1994 USAir Flight 427 accident. This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public interest.  A final rule had been scheduled for August 11, 2000.  Since publication of the NPRM, the FAA has mandated significant changes to the rudder system on 737s.  Accordingly, the proposed rule would apply to a different set of airplanes than originally anticipated.  The FAA has requested comment on this change in applicability and updated economic information about the installation of the proposed monitoring equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the regulations governing objects that may affect the navigable airspace.  Specifically, the FAA is proposing to add notification requirements and obstruction standards for electromagnetic interference and amend the obstruction standards for civil airport imaginary surfaces to more closely align these standards with FAA airport design and instrument approach procedure criteria.  In addition, the FAA is proposing to increase the number of days in which notice must be filed with the FAA before beginning construction or alteration; add and amend definitions for terms commonly used during the aeronautical evaluation process; and remove the provisions for public hearings and antenna farms.  The FAA is also proposing to retitle the rule and reformat it into sections that closely reflect the aeronautical study process.   These proposals incorporate case law and legislative action, and simplify the rule language.  The intended effect of these proposed changes is to improve safety and promote the efficient use of the National Airspace System.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require design approval holders to establish limits of validity (LOVs) of the engineering data that support the maintenance programs for certain transport category airplanes, and it would require them to determine if maintenance actions are needed to prevent widespread fatigue damage before an airplane reaches its LOV.  This rulemaking would require operators of any affected airplane to incorporate the LOV and any necessary service information into their maintenance programs.  This rulemaking would also prohibit operation of an affected airplane beyond the operational limit, unless an operator has incorporated an extended LOV and any necessary service information into its maintenance program.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[History has shown that widespread fatigue damage (WFD) is a significant safety risk for transport category airplanes.  The Aloha B-737 accident in 1988 showed FAA and industry that WFD could be a problem that could lead to catastrophic failure of airplane structure.  Numerous widespread fatigue damage incidents since then have confirmed that it is a threat common to all aging airplanes.  Because widespread fatigue damage results from the interaction of many small cracks, existing inspection methods are inadequate to reliably detect and prevent it.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 44701, Title 49 of the United States Code states that the Administrator shall promote safety of flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing minimum standards required in the interest of safety.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The FAA acknowledges the proposed rule may have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.  We conclude the current proposal is the preferred alternative because it provides for a common WFD system for all operators who fly in the same airspace under the same operating environment.
We considered the following alternatives: 
1.  Exclude small entities
2.  Extend the compliance deadline for small entities
3.  Establish lesser technical requirements for small entities
4.  Expand the requirements to cover more airplanes]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The cost of this proposal is $358.1 million.  The benefits of this proposal consist of $654 million in accident prevention benefits and $74 million in detection benefits, for total benefits of $728 million.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Because widespread fatigue damage problems will occur as airplanes operate beyond their initial operational limit, operators are likely to detect such problems over the 20-year forecast period.  The FAA has assumed that there is a probability of widespread fatigue damage problems occurring for each fuselage type of five percent in each year.  Under this assumption, there is a 35 percent chance that there will be zero WFD problems detected for a particular fuselage type over a 20-year period.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[There have been four accidents caused by fuel tank explosions since 1989.  Two occurred during flight and two others occurred on the ground.  Terrorists caused one of the four.  In the other three cases, no ignition source was identified as the cause of the explosion.  In all four cases, however, investigators concluded that the center wing fuel tank in these airplanes contained flammable vapors when the fuel tanks exploded and the accidents occurred.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[1.  Require flammability reduction means on new production and new designs without requiring retrofit.  The risk analysis for this option predicted an unacceptable high number of future accidents due to the high number of airplanes within the current fleet that would remain in service for many years.  2.  Require inerting of all fuel tanks on existing airplanes in the fleet and new type designs.  3.  Exclude all cargo operators.  4.  Address unsafe condition through airworthiness directive.  5.  Impose changes on operators as opposed to requiring OEMs to develop design changes.  Past experience on similar safety initiatives shows the OEMs do not consistently support these effors and places in undue burden on the operators.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The The FAA is conducting a regulatory evaluation using various combinations of the value of a human life, the timing of the next accidents, the passenger load on the next accident airplane, and the effectiveness of SFAR 88.  We anticipate costs and benefits will vary based upon assumptions used in calculating these values.  Using a value of $3 million per life, average airplane size, average time for the next accident, the costs could exceed $1 billion and quantitative benefits will be less than $1 billion.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Enhanced Airworthiness Program for Airplane Systems (EAPAS) and SFAR 88</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would change wiring system and fuel tank system requirements for transport category airplanes.  It will organize and clarify design requirements for wire systems, by moving existing regulatory references to wiring into a single section of the regulations specifically for wiring and adding new certification rules to address aging issues in wire systems.  This rulemaking would require holders of type certificates for certain transport category airplanes to conduct analyses and make necessary changes to existing Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to improve maintenance procedures for wire systems. It would require operators to incorporate those ICA for wiring into their maintenance or inspection programs.  It will also clarify requirements of certain existing operational rules for operators to incorporate ICA for fuel tank systems into their maintenance or inspection programs. The intent of this rulemaking is to help ensure the continued safety of commercial airplanes by improving the design, installation, and maintenance of their electrical wiring systems as well as by aligning those requirements as closely as possible with the requirements for fuel tank system safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend airmen certification and aircraft registration requirements.  Two years after the final rule becomes effective, paper pilot certificates would no longer be used to exercise piloting privileges.  Five years after the final rule becomes effective, certain other paper airmen certificates, such as those of flight engineers and mechanics, would no longer be used to exercise the privileges authorized by those certificates.  To exercise the privileges after those respective dates, the airmen would have to hold upgraded, counterfeit-resistant plastic certificates.  Student pilots would not be affected.  In addition, those who transfer ownership of U.S.-registered aircraft would have five days from the transaction to notify the FAA Aircraft Registry.  Those who apply for aircraft registration would have to include their printed or typed name with their signature.  These changes are responsive to concerns raised in the FAA Drug Enforcement Assistance Act.  The purpose of the changes is to upgrade the quality of data and documents to assist Federal, State, and local agencies to enforce the Nation's drug laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Part 145: Repair Stations--Ratings and Quality System
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations for repair stations by revising the system of ratings and requiring repair stations to establish a quality program.  This rulemaking would add changes critical to maintaining safety.  These include:  Requiring a repair station to maintain a capability list; requiring a repair station to designate a chief inspector; requiring permanent housing for all repair stations for their facilities, equipment, materials, and personnel; and identifying reasons for denying a repair station certificate, especially when a previously held certificate has been revoked.  In addition, the rulemaking would clarify recent revisions to the repair station regulations.  This action is necessary to reflect changes in aviation technology and repair station business practices.  FAA is reviewing comments and determining what the next action should be.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish training requirements for any pilot who flies under visual flight rules within 100 nautical miles of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport's omni-directional range/distance measuring equipment. The training primarily focuses on the procedures for flying in and around Washington, DC's Special Flight Rules Area and Flight Restricted Zone.  This rule depends on whether modifications are made to the related rulemaking action, "Washington, DC, Area Special Flight Rules Area."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Production and Airworthiness Approvals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would change certification procedures and identification requirements for aeronautical products and parts.  The proposed changes address standardizing requirements for production approval holders; requiring production approval holders to issue airworthiness approvals for aircraft engines, propellers, and other aviation parts; requiring manufacturers to mark all parts and components; and revising export airworthiness approval requirements to facilitate global manufacturing.  The intent of these proposed changes is to promote safety by ensuring that aircraft, and parts designed specifically for use in aircraft, wherever manufactured, meet applicable standards.  This action is also necessary to update our regulations to reflect the current global aircraft and aircraft parts manufacturing environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The FAA is amending its requirements to allow the issuance of export airworthiness approvals for Class II and III products located at facilities outside the United States.  The FAA proposed this change in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) issued on October 5, 2006.  This final rule expedites a simple and uncontroversial portion of that rulemaking for implementation.  The FAA intends to issue a separate final rule on other items contained in that NPRM.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>This rule will provide costs savings.  For the proposed revisions, for which we were able to quantify the cost savings, we estimate this proposal to generate cost savings of $31.6 million ($22.0 million, discounted) and $4.0 million ($3.0 million, discounted) of costs over the 2007-2016 time period.  Therefore, this proposal is estimated to generate a net cost savings of $27.6 million ($19.1 million, discounted) over the same ten-year period and is cost-beneficial.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Parachute Repack Authorization</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the rule text addressing requirements for individuals who pack, maintain, or alter main parachutes of a dual-parachute system to be used for intentional parachute jumping in connection with civil aircraft of the United States.  The change would clarify the authority granted to a non-certificated person who is not under the supervision of a certificated parachute rigger.  The rule would expressly limit the authority of such a person to packing the main parachute of a dual system when that person will be the next jumper to use the parachute.  This action would correct a potentially unsafe condition created by changes to the regulatory language in the 2001 revision of the rule.  That revision created ambiguity about the authority of non-certificated persons who are not under supervision to maintain or alter main parachutes of dual parachute systems.  This action would enhance the safety of parachute operations in the National Airspace System (NAS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes by adding new cabin interior criteria for operators of private use airplanes. These standards may be used instead of the specific requirements that affect transport category airplanes operated by air carriers. These standards would supplement the requirements for operation under the air traffic and general operating rules. This rulemaking is intended to provide alternative criteria for transport category airplanes that are operated for private use, while continuing to provide an acceptable level of safety for those operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Related Considerations in the Design and Operation of Transport Category Airplanes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would implement certain security related requirements governing the design of transport category airplanes.  The requirements would provide improved airplane design features and greater protection of the cabin, flightdeck, and cargo compartments from the detonation of explosive or incendiary devices, penetration by projectiles, and intrusion by unauthorized persons.  The FAA would also require operators to establish a "least risk bomb location" on all affected airplanes and to incorporate certain information into relevant operator's manuals.  This rule would adopt several International Civil Aviation Organization standards and harmonize FAA and international regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations on duty period limitations, flight time limitations, and rest requirements for flight crewmembers engaged in air transportation. The changes would respond to the need 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. The FAA is considering proposing additional changes in response to comments received on the NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rotorcraft Turbine Engines One-Engine-Inoperative (OEI) Ratings, Type Certification Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend One-Engine-Inoperative (OEI) rating definitions and type certification standards for 30-second OEI, 2-minute OEI, and 30-minute OEI ratings for rotorcraft turbine engines.  It would revise the ratings' standards to reflect recent analyses of the ratings' usage and lessons learned from completed engine certifications and service experience.  It would also harmonize FAA type certification standards for these ratings with the European Aviation Safety Agency in the Certification Specifications for Engines (CS-E) and with proposed requirements for Transport Canada Civil Aviation.  The changes would establish nearly uniform certification standards for ratings for rotorcraft turbine engines certificated in the United States under part 33 and in European countries under CS-E, thus simplifying airworthiness approvals for import and export.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transponder Continuous Operation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA is withdrawing the NPRM published on January 14, 2003 that proposed to require airplanes operated in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to ensure immediate activation and continuous transmission of the designated hijack alert code to air traffic control (ATC) during a hijack situation.  After September 11, 2001, the increased threat of hijacking and realization that a plane could be used as a weapon became the basis for the proposed rule.  The intent was to provide the flight crew of commercial airplanes with the ability to initiate an immediate national security response in the event of a hijacking.  The overwhelming majority of comments opposed the proposal for several reasons.  Because of the reasons given, including completed security enhancements to strengthen flightdeck doors, we are withdrawing the proposal.  Current regulations ensure an adequate level of aviation security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require passenger-carrying transport category airplanes used in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to have a means to allow the flightcrew to visually monitor the door area outside the flightdeck.  This would allow the flightcrew to identify persons requesting entry into the flightdeck and to detect suspicious behavior or potential threats.  Second, this rulemaking would amend FAA regulations so that, for operations requiring the presence of flight attendants, the flight attendants have a means to discreetly notify the flightcrew of suspicious activity or security breaches in the cabin.  This final rule would address standards adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is intended to change the passenger facility charge program to add more eligible uses for revenue, protect such revenue in bankruptcy proceedings, and eliminate charges to passengers on military charters.  These actions respond to Vision 100 - Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act.  In addition, the action would revise current reporting requirements to reflect technological improvements; promulgate some existing practices and policies into current regulations; and clarify and update existing references and regulations.  This would further streamline the existing policies of the passenger facility charge program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the certification standards for original and amended type certificates for aircraft engines by modifying the standards for engine life limited parts.  The rule would establish new and uniform standards for the design and testing of life limited parts for aircraft engines certificated by the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), and would add new standards for the design of reciprocating engine turbocharger rotors.  The rule would also harmonize 14 CFR part 33 requirements with EASA and JAA requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA would amend the aircraft turbine engine type certification standards to reflect recent analysis of the threat flocking birds present to turbine engine aircraft.  These changes would also harmonize FAA, Joint Aviation Authority (JAA), and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) bird ingestion standards for aircraft turbine engines type certificated by the United States and the JAA/EASA countries, and simplify airworthiness approvals for import and export.  These changes are necessary to establish uniform international standards that provide an adequate level of safety for aircraft turbine engines with respect to the current large flocking bird threat.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Airworthiness Standards: Safety Analysis </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the safety analysis type certification standard for turbine aircraft engines.  This action will harmonize FAA's type certification standard for safety analysis with the corresponding standards of the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).  This action will establish a nearly uniform safety analysis standard for turbine aircraft engines certified in the United States under Part 33 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR Part 33) and in European countries under Joint Aviation Requirements-Engines (JAR-E) and Certification Specifications-Engines (CS-E), thereby simplifying airworthiness approvals for import and export.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fees for Certification Services and Approvals Performed Outside the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations pertaining to payment of fees to the FAA for certification services performed outside the United States.  Until now, fees could be paid by check, money order, wire transfer, or draft, payable in U.S. currency and drawn on a U.S. bank.  Fees for certain aircraft flights transiting U.S.-controlled airspace can also be paid by credit card.  The rule would amend the regulations to allow payment by credit card for certification services performed outside the U.S.  Additionally, this rulemaking would amend the regulations where it is unclear that fees for airmen certification services apply to all applicants located outside the United States, regardless of citizenship.  This action is necessary to provide consistency within FAA regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would align the operational and certification safety requirements regarding over-pressurization of airplane extinguishing agent containers or fire bottles to prevent bursting and remove an obsolete section reference from part 135.  This action would eliminate the requirement for an over-pressurized fire bottle to discharge extinguishing agent outside an airplane to prevent bursting, because newer non-corrosive extinguishing agents can now be discharged inside an airplane without degrading an airframe.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nationality and Registration Marks, Non-Fixed-Wing Aircraft</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This direct final rule will permit operators of US registered powered parachute and weight-shift-control aircraft to display their nationality and registration marks in other than a horizontal orientation and in varying locations, either on the exterior fuselage or on a structural component, of the aircraft.  It also clarifies the size requirements for these marks.  This action provides a solution to the challenges faced by some operators in complying with current regulations that require these marks to be displayed horizontally.  This rule also eliminates the need for affected operators to petition for an exemption from current nationality and registration marks requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would update the standards for retroreflectivity of traffic signs.  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>

Section 4(f) properties include certain parks, recreation areas, wildlife and waterfowl refuges, and historic sites described in section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-670).  Section 4(f) generally prohibits the use of such properties for transportation projects unless the Secretary of Transportation finds there is no feasible and prudent alternative and all possible planning to minimize the harm is undertaken.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Environmental Review of Activities That Support the Deployment of ITS Projects</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to SAFETEA-LU, this rulemaking would establish categorical exclusions from the requirement that an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement be prepared under section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) for (1) activities that support the deployment of intelligent transportation infrastructure and systems and (2) the purchase of railroad right-of-way.  Further, this rulemaking asks for comment on the potential addition of one or more new categorical exclusions for projects that reduce transportation system congestion.  This rulemaking also seeks to resolve inconsistencies between the regulation and the new 23 U.S.C. 139, created by section 6002 of SAFETEA-LU.  Finally, the rulemaking proposes to update the regulation to reflect changes in the law and agency practice over the years, and make minor additions and changes to the list of categorical exclusions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would replace three current identification and registration systems: The US DOT number identification system, the commercial registration system, and the financial responsibility system, with an online Federal unified registration system.  This program would serve as a clearinghouse and depository of information on, and identification of, brokers, freight forwarders, and others required to register with the Department of Transportation.  The Agency is revising this rulemaking to address amendments directed by SAFETEA-LU.  The replacement system for the Single State Registration System, which the ICC Termination Act originally directed be merged under URS, will be addressed separately.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish training, testing and certification standards for medical examiners responsible for certifying that interstate commercial motor vehicle drivers meet established physical qualifications standards; provide a database (or National Registry) of medical examiners that meet the prescribed standards for use by motor carriers, drivers, and Federal and State enforcement personnel in determining whether a medical examiner is qualified to conduct examinations of interstate truck and bus drivers; and require medical examiners to transmit electronically to FMCSA the name of the driver and a numerical identifier for each driver that is examined. The rulemaking would also establish the process by which medical examiners that fail to meet or maintain the minimum standards would be removed from the National Registry. This action is in response to section 4116 of SAFETEA-LU.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In enacting the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) [PL 109-59, August 10, 2005], Congress recognized the need to improve the quality of the medical certification of drivers.  SAFETEA-LU addresses the requirement for medical examiners to receive training in physical examination standards and be listed on a national registry of certified medical examiners  as one step toward improving the quality of the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver physical examination process and the medical fitness of CMV drivers to operate CMVs.  The safety impact will result from removing drivers who are not medically qualified to drive from interstate driving, and also from requiring drivers to seek medical treatment for conditions (such as hypertension) that are likely to impact safety and driver health.  FMCSA has determined that focusing on medical examiner performance is one strategy for improving safety and reducing fatalities on our highways.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The fundamental legal basis for the NRCME program comes from 49 U.S.C. 31149(d), which authorizes FMCSA to establish and maintain a current national registry of medical examiners.  FMCSA is also directed to determine which medical examiners are qualified to perform examinations of CMV drivers and to issue medical certificates.  FMCSA is authorized to remove from the registry any medical examiner who fails to meet or maintain qualifications established by FMCSA.  In addition, in developing its regulations, FMCSA must consider both the effect of driver health on the safety of CMV operations and the effect of such operations on driver health, 49 U.S.C. 3113(a).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FMCSA is considering how best to address the concerns expressed by Congress.  In doing so, we are exploring several options.  We will discuss the various alternatives in a planned notice of proposed rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

In addition, to ensuring the applicant has the appropriate knowledge and skills to operate a commercial motor vehicle, this rule would establish the minimum information that must be on the CLP document and the electronic driver's record.  The rule would also establish maximum issuance and renewal periods, establish a minimum age limit, address issues related to a driver's State of Domicile, and incorporate previous regulatory guidance into the Federal regulations.  This rule would also address issues raised in the SAFE Port Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Carrier Safety Fitness Determination
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise 49 CFR part 385, Safety Fitness Procedures, in accordance with the Agency's major new initiative, Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) 2010.  CSA 2010 is a new operational model FMCSA plans to implement that is designed to help the Agency carry out its compliance and enforcement programs more efficiently and effectively.  Currently, the safety fitness rating of a motor carrier is determined based on the results of a very labor intensive compliance review conducted at the carrier's place of business.  Aside from roadside inspections and new audits, the compliance review is the Agency's primary intervention.  Under CSA 2010, FMCSA would propose to implement a broader array of progressive interventions, some of which allow FMCSA to make contact with more carriers.  Through this rulemaking FMCSA would establish safety fitness determinations based on safety data consisting of crashes, inspections, and violation history rather than the standard compliance review.  This will enable the Agency to assess the safety performance of a greater segment of the motor carrier industry with the goal of further reducing large truck and bus crashes and fatalities.  In 1999, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommended that FMCSA base its safety fitness determinations on carrier performance data derived from inspections and not solely the compliance review.  NTSB recently classified this recommendation as Open-Unacceptable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Certification Requirements as Part of the Commercial Driver&apos;s License </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require those commercial driver's license (CDL) drivers who are required to obtain a Federal medical certification for the current status of that certification be made part of the commercial driver's licensing and renewal process, as required by Section 215 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act.  Incorporating the current medical certification status information into the State-administered Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) driver record would improve highway safety by requiring those drivers who are required by Federal regulations to obtain a medical certificate to provide "proof" of that medical certification in order to obtain or retain a CDL.  It would enable electronic verification of the current medical certification status as part of existing employer and enforcement programs.  It would eliminate the requirement for those CDL operators who are required by Federal regulations to obtain a medical certificate to carry their medical examiner's certificate in addition to their CDL since an electronic record would verify that there is a valid medical certificate.  FMCSA is currently reviewing comments to the docket.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule is required by Public Law 106-159.  Section 215 of the Act requires that medical certification information be made part of the CDL.  When applying for (or renewing) a CDL, 49 CFR Part 383 requires drivers to self-certify whether they are subject to part 391 (Qualifications of Drivers).  If they operate in interstate commerce and are not excepted, then part 383 requires these drivers to self-certify whether they meet the physical qualification requirements of Part 391.  Part 383 does not currently require drivers to provide any "proof" regarding their physical qualification to operate a CMV in order to obtain or retain a CDL.  This rulemaking would require interstate CDL drivers who are not excepted to begin providing to their State driver-licensing agency (SDLA) an original or copy (at the State's discretion) of each medical examiner's certificate they obtain.  The SDLA would modify their implementation of CDLIS and record information on that driver's Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) individual driver record maintained by the State.  The new required information would include both the self-certification regarding applicability of part 391, and for interstate drivers who are not excepted, the current medical certification status information.  This combination of information about the applicability of part 391 and medical certification status would determine whether a CDL could be issued, transferred, upgraded, renewed, or retained.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 215 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA) directed the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) to "initiate a rulemaking to provide for a Federal medical qualification certificate to be made a part of commercial driver's licenses."  The physical qualifications requirements in 49 CFR part 391 are based on 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31502.  The physical qualifications standards are at 49 CFR § 391.11.  Part 391 regulations are applicable only to drivers who operate CMVs, as defined in 49 U.S.C. 31132.  Thus, FMCSA interprets section 215 of MCSIA applicable only to interstate CDL holders.

The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 directed the Secretary to establish licensing standards for drivers that operate CMVs, as defined in 49 U.S.C. 31301.  Those operators of CMVs as defined in 49 U.S.C. 31301, who are engaged solely in intrastate commerce, must obtain a CDL but are not required by current Federal regulations to obtain a medical certificate as proof of their physical qualifications to operate commercial vehicles.  [49 CFR § 383.71(a)(1)]. The Secretary delegated these authorities to FMCSA.  [49 CFR § 1.73].]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[All alternatives require SDLAs to modify CDLIS.  Under alternatives 1 and 2, SDLAs receive paper documents (original or copy) and perform data input.  Under alternative 3, SDLAs receive an electronic CDLIS transaction.

Employing motor carriers would be able to obtain medical certification status on CDLIS motor vehicle record (MVR) obtained from SDLA.  For drivers subject to part 391 and not excepted, MVR would contain medical certification status, as well as license status.  Enforcement personnel obtain current license status, whether driver operates in interstate commerce, and medical certification status via electronic checks.

Under all three alternatives, the CDLIS driver record serves as the official record to indicate whether a driver operating in interstate commerce is required to be medically certified, and, if so, whether the driver is currently medically certified.

1.  CDL Renewal Cycle Same as Medical Certificate.
Driver provides a current medical examiner's certificate to SDLA, which issues a new CDL expiring same day as certificate.  Medical certificates expire in two years, so CDLs would be issued more often, and drivers would pay more fees that States assess.

2.  No Change in CDL Renewal Cycle-Distributed.
As in alternative 1, CDL drivers provide medical a current examiner's certificate to SDLA.  There would be no additional issuance of a new CDL.  SDLAs develop capability to downgrade CDL if new certification not received by expiration.  Employers and enforcement personal obtain needed verifications from CDLIS driver record.

3.  No Change in CDL Renewal Cycle-Centralized.
Certificates go to central location.  Status information electronically transmitted to SDLA, which develop capability to electronically receive and record on CDLIS driver record.  As in alternative 2, SDLA downgrades CDL if new certification is not received by time it expires.  Employer and enforcement access like alternatives 1 and 2 above.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[A preliminary regulatory evaluation for this rule was prepared and was placed in the docket when the NPRM was published.  Costs being reviewed based on comments to the NPRM.  Currently, we estimate 10 year costs (discounted at 7 percent) at $61,134,000, total benefit at $82,585,000, and net benefit over 10 years at $21,450,000.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would change the New Entrant Safety Assurance Process by raising the standard of compliance for passing the new entrant safety audit. It also would make clarifying changes to some of the existing new entrant regulations. The rule also proposes a separate application procedure and safety oversight system for non-North America-domiciled motor carriers. The proposed rule would improve the Agency's ability to identify at-risk new entrant carriers and would ensure deficiencies in basic safety management controls are corrected before the new entrant is granted permanent registration. These changes would not impose additional operational requirements on any new entrant carrier. All new entrants would continue to receive educational information on how to comply with the safety regulations and be given an opportunity to correct any deficiencies found. FMCSA recognizes many new entrants are small businesses that are unaware of these requirements and continue to need our assistance.]]></ABSTRACT>

Instead, FMCSA required applicants for new entrant authority to self-certify that they are knowledgeable of applicable Federal requirements and provided educational and technical assistance materials to familiarize them with applicable standards.

The agency provided two alternatives for increasing the number of new entrant motor carriers audited annually.  First, the agency provides an alternative to how a safety auditor may conduct safety audits.  The safety auditor may audit a single new entrant motor carrier at its place of business or conduct group audits of multiple new entrant motor carriers at one time at a location other than a motor carrier's place of business.  The agency also solicited comment on whether to use private contractors to conduct the safety audits and is exploring the option in forthcoming rulemakings.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 4118 of SAFETEA--LU amended 49 U.S.C., chapter 311, by adding new section 31151 (49 U.S.C. 31151) titled "Roadability."  Section 31151 states: "The Secretary of Transportation, after providing notice and opportunity for comment, shall issue regulations establishing a program to ensure that intermodal equipment used to transport intermodal containers is safe and systematically maintained."]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rulemaking is based on the authority of the Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1984 (1984 Act) and section 4118 of SAFETEA-LU, codified at 49 U.S.C. 31151).  The 1984 Act provides authority to regulate drivers, motor carriers, and vehicle equipment.  Section 4118 of SAFETEA-LU requires the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations "to ensure that intermodal equipment used to transport intermodal containers is safe and systematically maintained."  It specifies, in considerable detail, a minimum of 14 items that must be included in the regulations.  It also provides the authority for Departmental employees designated by the Secretary to inspect intermodal equipment and related maintenance and repair records, and to place out-of-service equipment that fails to comply with applicable Federal safety regulations until the necessary repairs have been made.   The legislation also requires the Secretary to preempt State requirements for the periodic inspection of intermodal chassis by intermodal equipment providers that was in effect on January 1, 2005 on the effective date of the final rule.  However, it allows the Secretary to waive preemption if a State makes application, provided the Secretary finds that the State requirement is as effective as the Federal requirement and does not unduly burden interstate commerce.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The legislative mandate precluded broad regulatory alternatives.  However, the NPRM requested comments concerning the marking of intermodal equipment, and in particular, whether other unique identification numbers could serve the same purpose as the USDOT number.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[We estimate the costs to be between $146.7 and  $241.7 million (net present value discounted at 7% over 10 years), and the benefits to be between $82.3 to 257.6 million (net present value discounted at 7% over 10 years). The full regulatory evaluation for the NPRM is in the docket.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic On-Board Recorders for Hours-of-Service Compliance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations to incorporate new performance standards for electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs) to document compliance with the Federal hours-of-service rules.  This would help ensure that performance standards for EOBRs are appropriate and reflect state-of-the-art communication and information management technologies.  The rulemaking would consider the potential benefits and costs of requiring motor carriers to install and use EOBRs and evaluate alternative approaches including: 1) Mandating such practice industry-wide, 2) limiting the requirement to motor carriers with certain characteristics, and 3) allowing EOBR use to remain voluntary.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[On July 16, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated FMCSA's 2003 final rule concerning hours-of-service of commercial motor vehicle drivers, for reasons unrelated to EOBRs.  In dicta, however, the court stated that section 408 of the ICCTA "required the Agency, at a minimum, to collect and analyze data on the costs and benefits of requiring EOBRs."]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 31502 of title 49 of the United States Code provides that "[t]he Secretary of Transportation may prescribe requirements for: (1) qualifications and maximum hours of service of employees of, and safety of operation and equipment of, a motor carrier; and (2) qualifications and maximum hours of service of employees of, and standards of equipment of, a motor private carrier, when needed to promote safety of operation."  This rulemaking addresses "safety of operation and equipment" of motor carriers and "standards of equipment" of motor private carriers and, as such, is well within the authority of 49 U.S.C. 31502.  The rulemaking would allow motor carriers to use EOBRs to document drivers' compliance with the HOS requirements; require some noncompliant carriers to install, use, and maintain EOBRs for this purpose; and update existing performance standards for on-board recording devices.
 
Section 31136 of title 49 of the United States Code provides concurrent authority to regulate drivers, motor carriers, and vehicle equipment.  It requires the Secretary to "prescribe regulations on commercial motor vehicle safety.  The regulations shall prescribe minimum safety standards for commercial motor vehicles.  At a minimum, the regulations shall ensure that: (1) commercial motor vehicles are maintained, equipped, loaded, and operated safely; (2) the responsibilities imposed on operators of commercial motor vehicles do not impair their ability to operate the vehicles safely; (3) the physical condition of operators of commercial motor vehicles is adequate to enable them to operate the vehicles safely; and (4) the operation of commercial motor vehicles does not have a deleterious effect on the physical condition of the operators."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FMCSA considered several alternatives to the proposal discussed here.  These addressed the applicability of the proposal to all or subsets of the population of regulated motor carriers, the threshold for the application of the remedial directive, and the technical requirements for the EOBR itself.  

Concerning a requirement for using EOBRs, the agency considered applying the proposed requirement to all motor carriers, to long-haul motor carriers only, and to long-haul carriers with recurring hours-of-service noncompliance.  Concerning a requirement for the technical requirements for an EOBR, the agency considered three levels of complexity and sophistication.  Taken in combination, only the lowest-cost device applied to only the non-compliant long-haul motor carriers generated a positive annualized net benefit of safety over costs.  Concerning the application of the remedial directive, the agency considered different noncompliance thresholds and different numbers of compliance reviews.  The particular combination proposed provided a window wide enough for FMCSA or State enforcement officials to perform at least two compliance reviews, at current rates, on over 90 percent of carriers with indicia of poor driver safety.  The time frame between the Agency's initial findings and its issuance of remedial directives would be short enough to preserve the directives' efficacy in remedying repeated noncompliance.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[For our most likely option at present, we estimate the costs to be between $19 and $28 million per year (discounted at 7%) and the benefits to be about $20 million per year (discounted at 7%). The regulatory full evaluation for the NPRM is in the docket.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 rulemaking changes FMCSA regulations to govern applications by Mexican carriers to operate beyond municipalities and commercial zones at the United State-Mexico border. It also revises the application form, OP-1MX, to be filed by these Mexican motor carriers. The revised form requires additional information about the applicant's business and operating practices to allow the FMCSA to determine if the applicant can meet the safety standards established for operating in interstate commerce in the United States. Carriers that had previously submitted an application would have to submit the updated form. These changes are needed to implement part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). On January 16, 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court remanded this rule, along with two other NAFTA-related rules, to the Agency, requiring a full environmental impact statement and an analysis required by the Clean Air Act. On June 7, 2004, the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case, holding that FMCSA is not required to prepare the environmental documents as ruled by the Ninth Circuit. FMCSA is waiting for Interim Final Rule experience after the border opens before deciding what to do next on this rulemaking.  FMCSA originally planned to publish a final rule by November 20, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Monitoring System and Compliance Initiative for Mexico-Domiciled Motor Carriers Operating in the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement a safety monitoring system and compliance initiative designed to evaluate the continuing safety fitness of all Mexico-domiciled carriers within 18 months after receiving a provisional Certificate of Registration or provisional authority to operate in the United States.  It also would establish suspension and revocation procedures for provisional Certificates of Registration and operating authority, and incorporate criteria to be used by FMCSA in evaluating whether Mexico-domiciled carriers exercise basic safety management controls. The interim rule included requirements that were not proposed in the NPRM but which are necessary to comply with the FY-2002 DOT Appropriations Act.  On January 16, 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded this rule, along with two other NAFTA-related rules, to the Agency, requiring a full environmental impact statement and an analysis required by the Clean Air Act.  On June 7, 2004, the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case, holding that FMCSA is not required to prepare the environmental documents.

        <RULE_TITLE>Limitations on the Issuance of Commercial Driver Licenses With a Hazardous Materials Endorsement </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would prohibit States from issuing, renewing, transferring or upgrading a commercial driver's license (CDL) with a hazardous materials endorsement, unless the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has first conducted a background check on the applicant and determined the applicant does not pose a security risk warranting denial of the hazardous materials endorsement.  FMCSA and TSA simultaneously published interim final rules.  FMCSA has published another IFR corresponding to TSA's extension of compliance date.  Since this rulemaking conforms to TSA's rulemaking, the rulemaking is dependent upon TSA action.  This action is considered significant because of substantial public and congressional interest, and national security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hours of Service of Drivers; Supporting Documents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the hours-of-service recordkeeping requirements to clarify what supporting documents motor carriers must have to validate hours of service records.  It would clarify: That the duty of motor carriers is to verify the accuracy of drivers' hours or service (HOS) and records of duty status (RODS), including automatic on-board records; that the driver's duty is to collect and submit to the motor carrier all supporting documents with the RODS; that carriers are required to maintain supporting documents with the RODS; and that a supporting document-based self-monitoring system is required to be the primary method for ensuring compliance with the HOS regulations.  It would allow the use of electronic documents as a supplement to, and in certain instances in lieu of, paper supporting documents in recognition of developing technologies.  It would clarify the definitions of "supporting documents," "employee," and "driver," and the current requirement that each motor carrier use a self-monitoring system to verify HOS and RODS.  The FMCSA is withdrawing this rule to further review Paperwork Reduction Act impacts and burdens.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would upgrade the rearward visibility of commercial straight trucks. The Agency believes that requiring a rear detection system will reduce fatalities, injuries, and property damage by giving truck operators the ability to detect objects behind the truck. Various possible counter-measures are being examined now in follow-up testing, including visual and non-visual object detection systems. This action will be withdrawn. After further research is completed and evaluated, the Agency will determine what further action is warranted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Roof Crush Resistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would upgrade vehicle roof crush requirements.  It is part of the agency's comprehensive response to mitigate the number of fatalities and injuries resulting from vehicle rollovers.   Rollover crashes constitute about 3 percent of passenger vehicle crashes, but about one third of the fatalities. Light trucks are more prone to rollover, and their percentage of the U.S. fleet continues to increase.  This crash mode constitutes a disproportionate segment of the Nation's highway safety problem. This rulemaking is significant because of public interest in vehicle safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Rollovers are especially lethal crashes.  While rollovers comprise just 3% of all light passenger vehicle crashes, they account for almost one-third of all occupant fatalities in light vehicles, and more than 60 percent of occupant deaths in the SUV segment of the light vehicle population.

Agency data show that nearly 24,000 occupants are seriously injured and 10,000 occupants are fatally injured in approximately 273,000 non-convertible light vehicle rollover crashes that occur each year.  In order to identify how many of these occupants might benefit from the proposed upgrade, the agency analyzed real-world injury data in order to determine the number of occupant injuries that could be attributed to roof intrusion.  The agency examined front outboard occupants who were belted, not fully ejected from their vehicles, whose most severe injury was associated with roof contact, and whose seating position was located below a roof component that experienced vertical intrusion as a result of a rollover crash.  NHTSA estimates that there are about 807 seriously and approximately 596 fatally injured occupants per year that fit these criteria.  The agency believes that some of these occupants would benefit from this upgrade.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The agency will consider alternatives related to performance criteria and test procedures.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[In the NPRM, the agency estimated benefits of this proposal to range from 498 to 793 non-fatal injuries and 13 to 44 fatalities.  The annual equivalent lives saved were estimated at 39 to 55. The estimated average cost in 2003 dollars, per vehicle, of meeting the proposed requirements would be $10.67 per affected vehicle.  Added weight from design changes is estimated to increase lifetime fuel costs by $5.33 to $6.69 per vehicle.  The cost per year for the vehicle fleet is estimated to be $88-$95 million.  The cost per equivalent life saved is estimated to range from $2.1 to $3.4 million.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Current motor vehicles provide numerous occupant protection systems, such as side curtain air bags, upper interior padding, and advanced safety belt systems, that mitigate occupant head-to-roof contact injuries.  Nevertheless, an estimated 498-793 non-fatal injuries and 13-44 fatalities will continue to occur annually, absent the proposed change in regulation.  Potential adverse risks the agency is also evaluating include a causal increase in rollover propensity that could overwhelm the anticipated benefits from this upgrade.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Automotive Fuel Economy Manufacturing Incentives for Alternative Fueled Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would extend the alternative fueled vehicles incentive created by the Alternative Motor Fuels Act of 1988 for Model years 2011 to 2014, at a maximum incentive of 0.9 miles per gallon (mpg) per fleet. This rulemaking would extend the incentive to vehicle manufacturers under 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section 538.9 for an additional four years. The incentive allows manufacturers to calculate a higher average fuel economy level for dual-fueled vehicles, as defined at 49 U.S.C. section 32901(a)(8), permitting up to a 0.9 mpg increase in their overall corporate average fuel economy (CAFE). NHTSA is required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to either extend the incentive or explain to Congress why it has not done so by December 31, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Realign FMVSS No. 305, Electric Powered Vehicles: Electrolyte Spillage and Electrical Shock Protection With SAE J1766</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 305, Electric Powered Vehicles: Electrolyte Spillage and Electrical Shock Protection, by adding requirements for electrical isolation for direct current electrical power sources in addition to the existing requirements based upon alternating current, and would update the requirements to address forms of electrical energy storage devices other than batteries, including hydrogen fuel cells. On April 15, 2005, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Alliance) petitioned the Agency to amend the requirements of FMVSS No. 305. Alliance specifically petitioned that FMVSS No. 305 be realigned with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1766 Recommended Practice for Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicle Battery Systems Crash Integrity Testing which was updated in March 2005 to accommodate fuel cell vehicles (FCVs).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reduced Stopping Distance Requirements for Truck Tractors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would reduce stopping distance requirements for truck tractors equipped with air brake systems. Advances in heavy vehicle braking systems show that improved stopping performance is attainable for these vehicles. Such improvements would reduce the stopping distance disparity with light vehicles, and would result in fewer deaths and injuries and reduce property damage due to fewer crashes between truck tractors and light vehicles.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Large trucks have longer stopping distances than light vehicles, increasing the chance of crashes in panic stopping situations.  Crash data show that combination unit trucks (e.g., tractor-trailers) are highly involved in large truck fatal crashes with light vehicles.  Agency test results indicate that significantly reduced tractor stopping distances may be achieved by using current-technology brake systems.  The agency believes that sufficient test data exists to move forward with a proposal.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Reducing the stopping distance requirements (service brakes and/or emergency brakes) for tractors in FMVSS No. 121, Air Brake Systems, by 20 to 30 percent is expected to reduce unable-to-stop-in-time collisions between combination-unit trucks and light vehicles.  Test data has indicated that stopping distance reductions of up to 30 percent may be achievable for all tractors in FMVSS No. 121.  Evaluation is underway to determine the reductions in deaths, injuries, and property damage that could result from reductions in tractor stopping distances.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The agency believes there are no substantial risks to this rulemaking, and that only beneficial outcomes will occur as the industry moves to improved tractor braking systems.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would incorporate the Hybrid III ten-year old dummy into part 572 for potential application in Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) such as FMVSS No. 213, child restraint systems. Anton's Law, signed by the President on December 4, 2002, specified in section 4 that within 24 months, the Secretary of Transportation shall develop and evaluate an anthropomorphic test device that simulates a 10-year old child for use in testing child restraints used in passenger motor vehicles. The evaluation and testing of such a device has been completed by NHTSA. This rulemaking would include rationale for the dummy performance response requirements; detailed dummy design drawings and specifications; and a procedures manual for the dummy inspection, assembly and disassembly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cargo Carrying Capacity of Motor Home and Travel Trailers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to a petition for rulemaking requesting the agency consider mandatory consumer information in the form of a label that will inform the consumer of the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) of motor homes, travel trailers, and 5th wheel travel trailers.  Such labeling will help the consumer make informed decisions during the purchasing process and act as a reference during cargo loading, which in turn may reduce instances of overloading and ultimately injuries and deaths resulting from crashes related to overloading.  This rulemaking initially was a new proposed regulation, 49 CFR 575.102, with a RIN of 2127-AI50.  However, because the agency feels that the standard would be more enforceable if it is part of the FMVSS, it is now an amendment to FMVSS 120. Before publication of the NPRM, an additional section relative to the FMVSS No. 110 tire placard/label was added.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would present the newly organized text of FMVSS No. 108, including importing referenced requirements from applicable SAE standards directly into the text of FMVSS No. 108.  Over the last few decades, FMVSS No. 108 has been modified when necessary to account for changes in lighting technology. The Agency has also replied to hundreds of requests for interpretation regarding FMVSS No. 108. Comments to the Agency indicate that this approach has resulted in confusion among regulated parties. In response to requests from industry to organize FMVSS No. 108 in a more understandable way, the Agency pursued an administrative rewrite project through an existing contract with Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMVSS No. 208 Update of Appendix A</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, for occupant crash protection, to update the child restraints listed in Appendix A. These child seats are used in air bag suppression and low risk deployment testing. If adopted, the amendments would replace existing Child Restraint Systems (CRSs) listed in Appendix A with CRSs that are more representative of the CRS fleet currently on the market. There are no other proposed changes to the test procedures of FMVSS No. 208 that would result in increased economic burden. This rulemaking action seeks only to refresh an existing list of child restraints and reduce the regulatory burden of requiring the use of child restraints that are no longer in production.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 214 was amended to assure occupant protection in a 33.5 mph crash test and phased-in to new passenger cars during model years 1994-1997.  Initially, manufacturers upgraded side structures and affixed padding to meet the standard; fatality risk was significantly reduced for passenger car occupants in side impacts.  In addition, many vehicles are now equipped with side air bags designed to protect the occupant?s torso, the head, or both.  In side impacts, air bags with torso plus head protection further reduce, by an estimated 24 percent, the fatality risk of occupants sitting adjacent to the struck side of the vehicle; torso bags alone, by 12 percent.  The report may be accessed at http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/p89/460665.pdf</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The first generation of frontal air bags saved the lives of thousands of adults and teenagers, but they harmed occupants positioned close to the air bag at the time of deployment, especially infants and children.  In 1998-1999, air bags were redesigned to make deployments less harmful to child passengers and other out-of-position occupants, an interim measure before advanced air bags were phased in during 2003-2006.  Compared to first-generation air bags, the evaluation report indicates that these redesigned air bags reduced fatalities to infants and children by 83 percent and to out-of-position drivers by 70 percent in low-to-moderate speed crashes.  Yet they entirely preserved the overall life-saving benefits of first-generation air bags for belted drivers and for passengers age 13 and up.  The report may be accessed at http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/p88/431569.pdf.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMVSS No. 208 CRS Installation Procedure for LATCH-Equipped Seats  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would propose a test procedure for installing child restraint systems with LATCH-equipped hardware in the air bag suppression testing required by FMVSS No. 208. Currently, the list of child restraint systems in Appendix A of FMVSS No. 208 include some with LATCH-equipped hardware. However, the air bag suppression test procedures of FMVSS No. 208 do not include specific detail for attaching the LATCH hardware to the vehicle. The purpose of this notice is to propose additional regulatory text in the sections of FMVSS No. 208 that involve installing LATCH-equipped child restraint systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMVSS No. 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) Phase-in; Response to Petitions for Reconsideration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to a second round of petitions for reconsideration filed in response to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) final rule published on April 8, 2005 (70 FR 18136), and subsequent response to petitions for reconsideration published on September 7, 2005 (70 FR 53079). The final rule established a new safety standard requiring installation of TPMS capable of detecting significantly low air pressure in one or more of a vehicle's tires. The standard is applicable to all vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less, except vehicles with dual wheels on an axle. The standard responded to a mandate in the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act. 

The second round of the final rule, response to petitions for reconsideration addresses a petition recommending that the agency require spare tires to be compatible with the TPMS and also addresses a request that the agency reduce the time limit required for low tire pressure detection. In addition, this rule responds to a petition for reconsideration in which changes to the operational requirements of the TPMS malfunction telltale are requested.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMVSS No. 202 Reconsideration of Technical Issues (Part 2 of 2)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address the remaining petition for reconsideration issues for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 202, "Head restraints."  On December 14, 2004, NHTSA published in the Federal Register (69 FR 74848) a final rule upgrading FMVSS No. 202.  The standard was upgraded to establish new requirements for height, backset, strength, position retention, and energy absorption in order to ensure that head restraints do not pose a risk of exacerbating whiplash injuries. The upgraded provisions were designated FMVSS No. 202a. Eight petitions for reconsideration in response to the final rule were submitted. NHTSA published a response to the request for additional lead time for rear seat head restraints on March 9, 2006 (71 FR 12145). This document would respond to the outstanding issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Response to Petitions for Reconsideration on 5th Percentile Dummy Belted Barrier Crash Test Procedures--Std. 208</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to petitions for reconsideration NHTSA received in response to its August 31, 2006 final rule (71 FR 57168) amending 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. The agency adopted an increase in 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). The agency received four petitions for reconsideration requesting relief on the phase-in by means of advanced carry-forward credits. The petitioners also requested a clarification on the requirements for small volume manufacturers (e.g., whether the small volume manufacturer annually produced 5,000 vehicles worldwide or just in the U.S.). This rulemaking would respond to the request for advanced credits and would clarify whether small volume manufacturer production is considered worldwide or from the U.S.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The proposed regulations are designed to provide for and encourage the safe implementation and use of ECP brake system technologies. FRA has determined that permitting the railroad industry flexibility in the manufacture and operation of ECP brake systems is the most efficient and cost-effective method of ensuring the safe operation of ECP brake equipped freight trains and freight cars.  The proposed sections requiring the amendment of the railroads' current operating and training rules and the relaxation of inspection requirements and frequencies provides the industry with the flexibility needed to take advantage of ECP brake system implementation.  Moreover, the current FRA regulations do not adequately address the use of ECP brake system technology.  In fact, application of current regulations to freight trains and freight cars equipped with ECP brake systems will create inadequate and unnecessarily burdensome requirements.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FRA is issuing this rule pursuant to its rulemaking authority (49 U.S.C. 20103(a)) as delegated to the FRA Administrator (49 CFR 1.49).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Currently, FRA accepts waiver applications from railroads that seek relief from FRA safety regulations in order to test new ECP brake system technologies.  Since FRA must consider the safety ramifications of each application on a case-by-case basis, this procedure leaves considerable uncertainty regarding what type of safety case must be demonstrated to obtain approval.  Prior to this action, FRA also considered: (1) leaving the existing regulatory requirement as is and (2) mandating the implementation and use of ECP brake systems.  However, agency inaction would hinder introduction of new, safer railroad brake technology and mandating the implementation and use of ECP brake technology would be logistically and economically unfeasible and burdensome.  Accordingly, the proposed regulations are designed to provide for and encourage the optional and safe implementation and use of ECP brake system technologies.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[If the industry was to take advantage of the proposed relief to the extent estimated by FRA for solely unit and unit-like trains, it would cost it approximately $1.5 billion (discounted at 7%).  The total benefits of the proposed rule are approximately $3.2 billion (discounted at 7%).  In addition, FRA anticipates substantial benefits that cannot be accurately quantified or forecasted at this time, including a potential $2.5 billion in savings from a 1 mph increase in network velocity.  Overall, it appears that the benefits of the rule would significantly outweigh the costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The advantages of ECP brake technology will significantly improve the safety and the performance of train operations, significantly reducing the risk of train accidents.  Examples of such benefits include: better train handling through simultaneous brake applications; continuous brake pipe charging; graduated release brake operation; shorter train stopping distances; self-monitoring capabilities; electronic train management; and improved performance.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Excess Risk Estimate for Highway-Rail Grade Crossings Along the Florida East Coast Railway Line</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would provide an excess risk estimate for silencing the locomotive horn at grade crossings on the Florida East Coast Railway line, which are currently subject to FRA Emergency Order 15. In this rulemaking, FRA would also rescind Emergency Order 15, which is inconsistent with FRA's Final Rule on the Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings. These actions will facilitate quiet zone development by providing affected Florida communities substantially greater flexibility in establishing quiet zones than they currently have under FRA Emergency Order 15.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Locomotive Sanders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise the existing requirements related to sanders on locomotives.  The NPRM would modify the existing regulations by permitting additional flexibility in the use of locomotives with inoperative sanders.  The proposal would provide railroads the ability to better utilize and manage their locomotive fleets while ensuring that locomotives are equipped with operative sanders in situations where they provide the most benefit both from a safety and operational perspective. The NPRM would also make the regulations related to operative sanders more consistent with existing Canadian standards related to the devices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would make the following changes, as required by SAFETEA-LU, to the existing Project Management Oversight rule: A definition of "major capital project" that excludes a project to acquire rolling stock or to maintain or rehabilitate a vehicle; a requirement that oversight begin during the preliminary engineering stage of a project, unless it is more appropriate to begin the oversight during another stage of the project, to maximize the transportation benefits associated with project management oversight.   In addition to the changes required by SAFETEA-LU, FTA will take this opportunity to update 49 CFR 633 in its entirety.  This will require a reevaluation of 49 CFR 633 component parts, including the definition of a major capital project, risk assessments, rightsizing, technical capacity, project management plan, financing plan, and procurement/project delivery methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 3011 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act--A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) made a number of changes to 49 U.S.C. 5309, which authorizes the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA's) fixed guideway capital investment grant program known as "New Starts."  SAFETEA-LU also added created a new category of major capital investments that have a total project cost of less than $250 million, and that are seeking less than $75 million in section 5309 major capital investment funds.  This rulemaking proposes to implement those changes and a number of other changes that FTA believes will improve the New Starts program.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 5309, Title 49 of the United States Code requires the Secretary to promulgate regulations for evaluation and selection of major capital investment projects that have a total project cost of less than $250 million, and that are seeking less than $75 million in Section 5309 major capital investment funds.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FTA sought public input through an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and several outreach sessions on the various options it might pursue as part of this rulemaking.  The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking contains a discussion of the various alternatives it considered in proposing a regulatory framework for implementing 49 U.S.C. 5309(d) and (e).]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The single largest change in the New Starts program is the creation in SAFETEA-LU of the "Small Starts" program, to which FTA has added "Very Small Starts."  Over the first ten years of the Small Starts program, the cumulative impact of transfer from New Starts to Small Starts will likely be $1.9 Billion, with a Net Present Value of $1.311 Billion using a discount rate of 7 percent.  This effect is difficult to characterize in terms of cost or benefit, as it simply represents a "transfer of a transfer" from one governmental entity to another.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The proposed rulemaking provides a framework for a discretionary grant program; it does not propose to regulate other than for applicants for Federal funds.  As such, the rulemaking poses no risks for the regulated community, other than for the risks inherent in pursuing Federal funds that might not be awarded if a project fails to satisfy the eligibility and evaluation criteria in the proposed regulatory structure.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Contractor Performance Assessment for Capital Investment Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 10, 2005, the President signed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act--A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). Section 3011 of SAFETEA-LU made a number of changes to 49 U.S.C. 5309 (Section 5309), which authorizes the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA's) capital investment grant program.  SAFETEA-LU emphasized the need to improve the accuracy of the estimates of ridership and costs used to support the selection of a major capital investment (New Start) as a locally preferred alternative (LPA) for Section 5309 funds.   

Federal transit law supports the use of incentives to encourage the development of more reliable cost and ridership estimates for New Starts funded under Section 5309.  A number of provisions in Section 5309 recognize that contractors to grant recipients play an important role in increasing the reliability of forecasting methods to estimate costs and utilization of New Starts projects.  

This rulemaking would propose to establish a new part 612 in the Code of Federal Regulations.  The NPRM would encourage accurate cost and ridership estimates through the award of additional New Starts funds to project sponsors, which they can choose to pass along to their contractors.]]></ABSTRACT>

The new subpart 601 E would cross-reference DHS' rulemaking that establishes regulations to establish the characteristics of and requirements for public transportation security grants.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the direction contained in SAFETEA-LU, section 3023(d), the FTA established a committee to develop, through negotiated rulemaking procedures, recommendations for improving the regulation regarding unauthorized competition from recipients of Federal financial assistance.  The proposed revisions contained in the NPRM represent a complete revision of the charter service regulations contained in 49 CFR part 604.  The NPRM contains the consensus work product of the Charter Bus Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee (CBNRAC), which was able to reach consensus on the majority of the regulatory language. Where the CBNRAC was unable to reach consensus, FTA proposes revisions to the charter service regulations based on the open, informed exchange of information that took place during meetings with the CBNRAC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Joint FTA/FHWA NEPA Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to SAFETEA-LU, this rulemaking would establish categorical exclusions from the requirement that an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement be prepared under section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) for (1) activities that support the deployment of intelligent transportation infrastructure and systems and (2) the purchase of railroad right-of-way.  Further, this rulemaking asks for comment on the potential addition of one or more new categorical exclusions for projects that reduce transportation system congestion.  This rulemaking also seeks to resolve inconsistencies between the regulation and the new 23 U.S.C. 139, created by section 6002 of SAFETEA-LU.  Finally, the rulemaking proposes to update the regulation to reflect changes in the law and agency practice over the years, and make minor additions and changes to the list of categorical exclusions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>FTA published a final rule to amend 49 CFR parts 661 and 663 as required by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) [Pub. L. 109-59, Aug. 10, 2005].  The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) proposed certain changes to the Buy America requirements on November 21, 2005 (70 FR 71246).  Because of the complexity of a number of recommendations and issues presented during the comment period, FTA decided to split the rulemaking and published a final rule on those issues that received little or no public comment.  This new NPRM will address the issues raised in the NPRM published on November 21, 2005, but not addressed in the final rule. A correction was published on September 28, 2007, with regard to final assembly requirements for rolling stock that were omitted from the final rule.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Revision to Requirements for the Transportation of Batteries and Battery-Powered Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would clarify current requirements in the Hazardous Materials Regulations applicable to the transportation of electrical devices, including batteries and battery-powered equipment.  The regulations currently prohibit the transportation of electrical devices that are likely to create sparks or generate a dangerous quantity of heat that could potentially cause fire, smoke, or otherwise adversely affect packaging material or the means of conveyance unless the devices are packaged in a manner that precludes such an occurrence.   Since 1996, there have been more than 75 incidents in air transportation involving electrical storage batteries or batteries contained in equipment that have resulted in the production of smoke, fire or dangerous amounts of heat.  This rulemaking would specify the types of packagings that must be used, including measures to protect against short circuits or accidental activation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Enhancing Rail Transportation Safety and Security for Hazardous Materials Shipments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In consultation with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), PHMSA would revise the current requirements on the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials transported in commerce by rail.  It may require rail carriers to (1) compile annual data on certain shipments of hazardous materials and use the data to analyze safety and security risks along rail transportation routes where those materials are transported; (2) assess alternative routing options and make routing decisions based on those assessments; and (3) clarify the current security plan requirements to address en route storage and delays in transit.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[PHMSA is responsible for the safe and secure movement of hazardous materials by all transportation modes, including the nation's railroads.  The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) are designed to achieve three goals: (1) to ensure that hazardous materials are packaged and handled safely during transportation, thus minimizing the possibility of their release should an incident occur, (2) to ensure that the security risks associated with the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce are addressed, and (3) to effectively communicate to carriers, transportation workers, and emergency responders the hazards of the material being transported.  The HMR also include operational requirements applicable to each mode of transportation.  

PHMSA's hazardous materials transportation regulatory program is designed to balance safety and security concerns with economic and societal goals.  Rail shipments of hazardous materials are often transported in substantial quantities and are potentially vulnerable to sabotage or misuse.  Such materials are already mobile and are routinely transported in proximity to large population centers.  A primary safety and security concern involving the rail transportation of hazardous materials is the prevention of a catastrophic release in proximity to densely populated urban areas, events or venues with large numbers of people in attendance, iconic buildings, landmarks, or environmentally significant areas.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This final rule is published under authority of Federal hazardous materials transportation law (Federal hazmat law; 49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.)  Section 5103(b) of Federal hazmat law authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe regulations for the safe transportation, including security, of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce.  In addition, the Homeland Security Council has tasked DOT and DHS to improve security of rail shipments of toxic inhalation hazard (TIH) materials.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Alternative 1: Do nothing
This alternative continues the status quo.  We would not issue a final rule to require carriers to make route selections for certain highly hazardous materials based on a comprehensive assessment of the safety and security vulnerabilities along available routes nor would we require rail carriers to inspect rail cars for IEDs or implement measures to minimize time in transit for highly hazardous materials.  The current security plan requirements would continue in place.  

Alternative 2: Impose enhanced safety and security requirements for a broad list of hazardous materials transported by rail
Under this alternative, we would impose enhanced safety and security requirements for rail shipments of a broad list of hazardous materials, including explosives; flammable solids, liquids, and gases; poison and poison inhalation hazard materials; oxidizers and organic peroxides; and corrosive materials.

Alternative 3: Impose enhanced safety and security requirements for specified rail shipments of highly hazardous materials
Under this alternative, we would impose enhanced safety and security requirements only for those classes and quantities of hazardous materials that pose unique and substantial safety and security risks.  Covered materials would include:  (1) more than 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs) in a single carload of Division 1.1., 1.2, and 1.3 explosives; (2) bulk quantities (119 gallons or more) of PIH materials; and (3) highway route-controlled quantities of radioactive materials.  For these reasons, we have selected this alternative.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Costs
Rail carriers and shippers may incur costs associated with rerouting shipments or mitigating safety and security vulnerabilities identified as a result of their route analyses.  Because the final rule builds on the current route evaluation and routing practices already in place for most, if not all, railroads that haul the types of hazardous materials covered, we do not expect rail carriers to incur significant costs associated with rerouting.  Generally, costs associated with the provisions of this final rule include costs for collecting and retaining data and performing the mandated route safety and security analysis.  We estimate total 20-year costs to gather the data and conduct the analyses proposed in this final rule to be about $17.4 million (discounted at 7%).
Benefits  
The major benefits expected to result from this final rule relate to enhanced safety and security of rail shipments of hazardous materials.  The requirements of the final rule are intended to reduce the safety and security risks associated with the transportation of the specified hazardous materials.  We estimated the costs of a major accident or terrorist incident by calculating the costs of the January 2005 Graniteville, South Carolina, accident.  This accident killed nine people and injured 554 more.  In addition, the accident necessitated the evacuation of more than 5,400 people.  Total costs associated with the Graniteville accident are almost $126 million. If the measures proposed in this final rule prevent just one major accident or intentional release over a twenty-year period, the resulting benefits would more than justify the potential compliance costs.  We believe that they could.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[It is possible to envision scenarios where hazardous materials in transportation could be used to inflict hundreds or even thousands of fatalities.  Direct costs and those attributable to transportation system disruption that would surely result could easily total in the billions of dollars.  We are operating under the premise that, in today's environment, it is necessary to take reasonable measures to reduce the likelihood that such events will be successful.  The presence of such measures should, in fact, help deter potential attacks.  

The measures in the rule have the potential of reducing the likelihood of success of such an attack.  Moreover, the American public has an expectation that reasonable measures will be taken to help ensure the security of hazardous materials present in our society so they are not used for nefarious purposes.  Companies are taking or have already taken steps to develop systematic security plans and security awareness training.  These requirements will help ensure a consistent approach in the area while permitting flexibilities that are important in keeping costs at reasonable levels.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation of Lithium Batteries </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would consolidate 2137-AE05 "Transportation of Lithium Batteries" and 2137-AD48 "Hazardous Materials; Transportation of Lithium Batteries."  The merging of the rulemakings into one final rule would simplify, and make easier to understand, the Hazardous Materials Regulation (HMR) changes applicable to lithium batteries.  Both RINs would be retained for the final rule.   RIN 2137-AE05 would prohibit the offering for transportation and transportation of primary lithium batteries and cells as cargo aboard passenger-carrying aircraft.  This prohibition would apply to both foreign and domestic passenger-carrying aircraft entering, leaving, or operating in the United States.  The rule would also require that, when offered for transport in other modes, shipments of primary lithium batteries and cells must be marked to indicate that they are forbidden from transport aboard passenger-carrying aircraft.  With the merging of 2137-AD48, this rule would also revise requirements applicable to the transportation of lithium batteries to achieve greater consistency with international requirements.  It responds to NTSB recommendations.  PHMSA has prepared and published for public comment an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) in order to determine the impact of the 2137-AD48 rulemaking on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would eliminate the 24-hour, 7-days-per-week telephonic expedited registration option because it is no longer necessary.  The rulemaking would also adopt an explicit exception from registration requirements for Indian Tribes.  The increase in registration fees, as proposed in the NPRM, would not be adopted because the "Revised Continuing Appropriation Resolution, 2007" appropriated funding for the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grants program at the FY 2006 level of $14.3 million rather than the Administration's requested level of $28 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to expand the number of ways that the Bureau of 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 the Bureau of 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 credit and charge cards authorized by the Commissioner of CBP to be used for payment of duties, taxes, fees, interest, and other charges not related to formal consumption entries for consumption in United States commerce, warehouse withdrawals, or quarterly user fees, and by removing the limitation that these methods of payment may only be used for noncommercial entries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to reflect CBP's planned centralization of the continuous bond program at the National Finance Center (NFC). Pursuant to this centralization, all continuous bonds would be filed at the NFC via mail, fax, or in an electronic format. The NFC would assume most of the bond functions previously performed at the port level, with the noted exception that the authority to approve single transaction bonds will remain with port directors. These changes would support CBP's bond program by ensuring an efficient and uniform approach to the approval, maintenance, and periodic review of continuous bonds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Rulings and Protests</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments to implement the administrative rulings process as well as the filing and administrative review of protests against specific decisions of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Amendments reflect changes to the underlying statutory authority to parts 177 and 174 of title 19 of the CFR made by the Customs Modernization Provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act.  Proposed changes to part 174 also reflect statutory amendments made by the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 1999 regarding protests against decisions on post-importation NAFTA claims and the time required for allowing or denying an application for further review of a protest.  Additional changes to part 174 are proposed to reflect statutory amendments made by the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004 which impact the types of matters that are subject to protest, and extend various protest time limits such as the time to file and amend a protest, the time for a surety to file a protest, and the time to file a request for accelerated disposition of a protest.  Other changes proposed serve to modernize, clarify, and enhance current CBP administrative rulings and protest procedures and reflect the nomenclature changes effected by the transfer of CBP to the Department of Homeland Security and the subsequent renaming of the U.S. Customs Service as the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Foreign Repairs to American Vessels; Consolidation of Vessel Repair Units</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations governing the location of CBP Vessel Repair Units (VRUs).  VRUs are responsible for processing vessel repair entries filed by persons required to declare purchases for or repairs to certain vessels while they are outside the United States.  As a result of a sustained decrease in the number of vessel repair entries filed, CBP is proposing to consolidate the VRUs by closing the VRUs located in San Francisco and New York and by requiring all vessel repair entries to be filed at the VRU in New Orleans.  CBP also is proposing to amend the CBP regulations relating to the declaration, entry, and assessment of duty with regard to vessel repairs and purchases to advise that the enactment and implementation of free trade agreements between the United States and other countries may impact upon the dutiable status of vessel repair expenditures made in foreign countries that are parties to those agreements, and to require that, if a single entry bond is used for a vessel repair entry, the bond must be attached to the entry at the time of submission.  In addition, this document proposes to amend the CBP regulations relating to claims for relief from the assessment of vessel repair duties to reflect a 2004 amendment to the vessel repair statute that created an exemption from vessel repair duties for the cost of certain equipment, repair parts, and materials.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Class 9 Bonded Warehouse Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes amendments to title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR), with respect to the requirements applicable to the operation of Class 9 bonded warehouses, which are also known as duty-free sales enterprises or duty-free stores.  The proposed amendments would extend the blanket withdrawal procedure for Class 9 bonded warehouses to cover vessel supplies under certain circumstances and expand and create a uniform time period for Class 9 proprietors to file an entry; provide written confirmation of certain shortages, overages, and damages; and to pay duties, taxes, and interest on overages and shortages.  In addition, the proposed amendments would permit Class 9 warehouses to utilize technological systems more effectively.  The proposed changes would facilitate the efficient operation of Class 9 warehouses and also ensure adequate records are maintained for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) trade enforcement purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury is publishing for public comment an updated version of its internal Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines. These Guidelines are being published as separate appendices to two parts of the Code of Federal Regulations: 1) General provisions are being published as an appendix to the Reporting and Procedures Regulations, 31 CFR part 501;  and 2) specific provisions focusing on Cuba are being published as an appendix to the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 CFR part 515.  To the extent this proposed rule applied to "banking institutions," it is superseded by the interim final rule, "Economic Sanctions Enforcement Procedures for Banking Institutions," issued by OFAC on January 11, 2006 (71 FR 1971).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Benefits Under the African Growth and Opportunity Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to those provisions of the Customs and Border Protection 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Country of Origin of Textile and Apparel Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment of the CBP regulations to update, restructure, and consolidate the regulations relating to the country of origin of textile and apparel products.  Amendments reflect changes brought about, in part, by the expiration on January 1, 2005, of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing and the resulting elimination of quotas on the entry of textile and apparel products from World Trade Organization members.  The primary regulatory change is the elimination of the requirement that a textile declaration be submitted for all importations of textile and apparel products.  In addition, to improve the quality of reporting of the manufacturer of imported textiles and apparel products, the amendments include a requirement that importers identify the manufacturer of such products through a manufacturer identification code.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Entry Of Certain Softwood Lumber Products From Canada</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document adopts as a final rule, with changes, the interim rule amending title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR) that was published in the Federal Register (71 FR 61399) on October 18, 2006, as Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Dec. 06-25.  The interim rule amended the CBP regulations by prescribing the collection of certain entry summary information for purposes of monitoring and enforcing the Softwood Lumber Agreement (SLA 2006) between the Governments of Canada and the United States, entered into on September 12, 2006.  In an effort to better enable CBP to accurately and timely fulfill its data collection and reporting obligations under the SLA 2006, this document identifies an additional entry code option that designates softwood lumber products that are specifically identified as exempt from SLA 2006 export measures pursuant to Annex 1A of the Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that the exempt goods are classifiable in residual Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States provisions that are listed as covered by the SLA 2006.  This document also amends the list of required entry records set forth in the appendix to part 163 of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR part 163) to reflect the record-keeping requirements prescribed in CBP Dec. 06-25.  Lastly, this document conforms the bond provisions applicable to certain imports of Canadian softwood lumber to reflect the softwood lumber provisions set forth in section 12.140 of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fees for Customs Processing at Express Consignment Carrier Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to implement amendments to the customs user fee statute made by section 337 of the Trade Act of 2002 and section 2004(f) of the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004.  Statutory amendments made by section 337 concern the fees payable for customs services provided in connection with the informal entry or release of shipments at express consignment carrier facilities and centralized hub facilities, and primarily serve to replace the annual lump sum payment procedure with a quarterly payment procedure based on a specific fee for each individual air waybill or bill of lading. Section 2004(f) amended the user fee statute to authorize, for merchandise that is formally entered at these sites, the assessment of merchandise processing fees provided for in 19 U.S.C. 58c(a)(9), in addition to the fees that are currently assessed on individual air waybills or bills of lading. Lastly, pursuant to the authority established in 19 U.S.C. 58c(b)(9)(B)(i), this document proposes to raise the existing $0.66 fee assessed on individual air waybills or bills of lading to $1.00 to more equitably align it with the actual costs incurred by CBP in processing these items.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NAFTA: Merchandise Processing Fee Exemption and Technical Corrections</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The document proposes to amend the regulations in title 19, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), regarding claims for the exemption of the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF).  The NPRM would clarify that an importer is subject to the same declaration requirement that is established for claiming NAFTA duty preference in order to claim the exemption of the MPF for goods that meet a NAFTA rule of origin even when the goods are unconditionally free.  In addition, the NPRM would make several technical corrections to the regulations, for example, the amendment clarifies that a Certificate of Origin is not required for a commercial importation for which the total value of originating goods does not exceed $2,500.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Entry of Certain Cement Products From Mexico Requiring a Commerce Department Import License
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations to set forth special requirements for the entry of certain cement products from Mexico requiring a United States Department of Commerce import license.  The cement products in question are those listed in the Agreement Between the Office of the United States Trade Representative, the United States Department of Commerce, and Mexicos Secretaria de Economia on Trade in Cement, dated March 6, 2006.  The changes proposed in this document require the inclusion of an import license number on the entry summary documentation filed with Customs and Border Protection for any cement product for which the United States Department of Commerce requires under its cement licensing and import monitoring program as well as a valid Mexican export license with the entry documentation for cement covered by the Agreement on Trade in Cement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Import Restrictions Imposed on Archaeological Material From Mali</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect both continuing and new import restrictions on certain archaeological material from Mali.  Import restrictions that were previously imposed by Treasury Decision (T.D.) 97-80 and extended by T.D. 02-55, that are due to expire on September 19, 2007, are extended.  The Acting Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, has made the requisite determination for the extension of import restrictions that previously existed and for amending the agreement so that it applies also to material from archaeological sites throughout Mali, including those of the Paleolithic Era (Stone Age), necessitating additional subcategories of stone objects in the Designated List.  Accordingly, these import restrictions will remain in effect until September 19, 2012, and title 19 of the CBP regulations is being amended to reflect this amended bilateral agreement.  These restrictions are being extended pursuant to determinations of the United States Department of State made under the terms of the 1970 Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act in accordance with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property.  This document also contains the amended Designated List of Archaeological Material that describes the articles to which the restrictions apply, including the additional subcategories of stone objects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are issuing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking ("Advance Notice") as a part of our ongoing effort to address, in the context of the Bank Secrecy Act, the issue of access to banking services by money services businesses.  Both the banking industry and the money service business industry have expressed concerns with regard to the impact of Bank Secrecy Act regulations on the ability of money service businesses to open and maintain accounts and obtain other financial services at banks and other depository institutions.  Due to the concerns about the effect of regulatory requirements on the provision of  banking services to money services businesses, we, through the Non-Bank Financial Institutions and the Examinations subcommittees of the Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Group, held a fact-finding meeting on March 8, 2005, to hear directly from banks, other depository institutions, and money services businesses concerning the challenges that they face on this issue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Final Rule to Amend the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations Regarding Financial Institutions Exempt From Establishing Anti-Money Laundering Programs.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Final Rule amends 31 CFR 103.170 (Temporary Exemption Rule), which defers, for certain categories of financial institutions, the application of the anti-money laundering program requirements found in section 5318(h)(1) of the Bank Secrecy Act.  In the years since the Temporary Exemption Rule was published, FinCEN has promulgated a number of rules that require previously exempted categories of financial institutions to establish anti-money laundering programs, including dealers in precious metals, stones, or jewels, and insurance companies.  Despite these rulemakings, the Temporary Exemption Rule has not been updated to reflect these changes.  Accordingly, this rulemaking updates the Temporary Exemption Rule by removing dealers in precious metals, stones, or jewels, and insurance companies, from the list of exempted financial institutions.]]></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), periodically reviews the private sector Automated Clearing House (ACH) operating rules established by NACHA-The Electronic Payments Association and adopts or declines each rule.  FMS is publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 31 CFR part 210 (Part 210) to adopt certain ACH rules, including a new ACH rule establishing a per transaction fee for the origination and receipt of ACH transactions.  In addition, the proposed rule would provide two exceptions to the deposit account requirement contained in 31 CFR 210.5.  Section 210.5 requires that an ACH credit entry representing a Federal payment other than a vendor payment be deposited into a deposit account at a financial institution "in the name" of the recipient.  In April  2005, Treasury waived this requirement to allow some or all of the amount to be reimbursed to a Federal employee for official travel credit card charges to be disbursed directly to the credit card issuing bank.   The proposed rule would codify this waiver.  The proposed rule would also provide an exception from the requirements of section 210.5 in cases where a Federal payment is to be disbursed through a debit card, stored value card, or prepaid card program established by FMS.  FMS is publishing the proposed rule with a 60-day comment period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Management of Federal Agency Disbursements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service (FMS), is proposing to amend 31 CFR part 208 (Part 208) to allow Federal agencies to issue part or all of an employee's travel reimbursement to the travel card issuing bank for crediting to the employee's travel card account ("split disbursement").  Currently, 31 CFR 208.6 requires that Federal electronic payments other than vendor payments be directed to a deposit account at the financial institution "in the name of" the individual.  Treasury waived this requirement for split disbursement in April 2005.  The proposed rule will codify the terms of the waiver in Part 208.  In addition, the proposed rule would prohibit an agency from making a check payment to another agency, and would instead require that all agency-to-agency payments be made through the Intra-Governmental Payment and Collection System.  FMS anticipates publishing the proposed rule with a 60-day comment period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Offset of Tax Refund Payments To Collect Past-Due Support</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service, is amending 31 CFR part 285.3, which governs the offset of federal tax refund payments to collect past-due child support obligations. We are removing the definition of Qualified Child in paragraph (a) due to a change in the statutory definition enacted as part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, Public Law 109-171.  This statutory change will allow for the use of the tax refund offset program to collect past-due child support on behalf of children who are no longer minors.  We are also amending paragraph (c), which describes past-due support obligations that qualify for the tax refund offset program, by removing the requirement that the support be owed to or on behalf of a qualified child.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Treasury, Financial Management Service, amended 31 CFR part 208 (Part 208) to facilitate the delivery of relief and assistance payments to victims of disasters or emergencies. Part 208 implements the provisions of 31 U.S.C. 3332, which generally requires that Federal payments be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT). Under 31 U.S.C. 3332, the Secretary of the Treasury must ensure that any individual required to receive a Federal payment by EFT has access to an account at a financial institution at a reasonable cost and with certain consumer protections. This amendment implements 31 U.S.C. 3332 by providing that the Department of the Treasury may establish and administer accounts for disaster victims to allow for the delivery of Federal payments by EFT.]]></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>Labeling and Advertising of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB requests public comment on possible changes to the labeling and advertising requirements of alcohol beverage products regulated by TTB. TTB has long required certain labeling, such as brand name, class and type, alcohol content (in the case of wines containing more than 14 percent alcohol by volume and distilled spirits), net contents, and in recent years has published updated standards for the use of carbohydrate and calorie claims. Because of petitions to mandate additional information, including ingredient, allergen, alcohol, calorie, and carbohydrate content and requests by some to use labels with at least some of that additional information on a voluntary basis under existing rules, TTB believes it is now appropriate to consider revising the alcohol beverage labeling and advertising regulations, and seeks public comment on several issues to assist TTB in formulating specific regulatory proposals.]]></ABSTRACT>

Thereafter, the changes proposed in the NPRM may be made permanent by a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Establishment of the Leona Valley Viticultural Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Mr. Ralph Jens Carter, on behalf of the Antelope Valley Winegrowers Association, Leona Valley Vineyards, and Donato Vineyards, submitted the 8,600-acre Leona Valley viticultural area petition.  The region currently includes 20 vineyard acres with more under development.  The "Leona Valley" name comes from early Nebraska settlers of the area.  The proposed boundary reflects the valley floor and some side slopes with potential or established viticulture.  Distinguishing features include the physical characteristics of the San Andreas Fault system and a fault-controlled valley terrain surrounded by significantly higher mountain elevations.  Also, the geology, soil, and climate distinguish the region from areas beyond the proposed boundary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau propose to amend the regulations relating to the removal of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, without payment of tax, for use by the United States in law enforcement activities. Specifically, we propose to allow manufacturers of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes to remove these articles without payment of tax for use by Federal agencies in their law enforcement activities, and to exempt packages of those removed products from the tax-exempt labeling requirement. We take this action to timely meet the needs of Federal law enforcement operations, particularly investigations involving tobacco diversion and cigarette smuggling.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Expansion of the Alexander Valley Viticultural Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The petitioner proposes to expand the Alexander Valley viticultural area by 1,300 acres, in a region along Hiatt Road adjacent to the current diagonal northwestern boundary.  The proposed expansion area, south-southwest of Cloverdale, resembles an east-facing triangle that joins the diagonal northwestern boundary line.  The current diagonal boundary line divides a vineyard, leaving about 10 acres outside of the established Alexander Valley viticultural area.  Expansion of the boundary line would correct this vineyard problem and allow for another vineyard to be included in the viticultural area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tax Classification of Cigars and Cigarettes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB is proposing changes to the regulations that govern the classification and labeling of cigars and cigarettes for Federal excise tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  The proposed regulatory changes address concerns that TTB has regarding the adequacy of the current regulatory standards for distinguishing between cigars and cigarettes.  The document also summarizes and responds to three petitions received by TTB requesting rulemaking action regarding the classification of cigars and cigarettes, with particular reference to the distinction between little cigars and cigarettes.  The proposals contained in this document clarify the application of existing statutory definitions and update and codify administrative policy to provide clearer and more objective product classification criteria.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Green Valley of Russian River Valley</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Winegrowers and Vintners of Sonoma County's Green Valley group proposes to rename the "Sonoma County Green Valley" viticultural area (27 CFR 9.57) as the "Green Valley of Russian River Valley" viticultural area, with the size and boundaries remaining unchanged.  The group explains the name change is warranted because the region is commonly referred to as "Green Valley," without the Sonoma County modifier.  They add that the Sonoma County Green Valley viticultural area is considered as a sub-appellation of the Russian River Valley viticultural area by virtue of location and similar climate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This advance notice of proposed rulemaking describes rules that the Treasury Department and the IRS are considering proposing, in a notice of proposed rulemaking, regarding the disclosure and use of tax return information by tax return preparers.  The proposed rules would apply to the marketing of refund anticipation loans (RALs) and certain other products in connection with the preparation of a tax return.  As an exception to the general principle that taxpayers should have control over their tax return information that is reflected in final regulations under section 7216 that are being issued concurrently with the advance proposed regulations, the proposed rules would provide that a tax return preparer may not obtain a taxpayers consent to disclose or use tax return information for the purpose of soliciting taxpayers to purchase such products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Outbound Transfers of Property to Foreign Corporations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Qualified Foreign Corporation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Notice 2003-79, section 5, published on December 15, 2003, states that the IRS intends to issue regulations, for years after 2003, that provide procedures for a foreign corporation to certify that it is a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of IRC section 1(h)(11)(C). (Temporary rules provided in Notice 2003-79 were subsequently extended by Notice 2004-71, published on November 8, 2004, and by Notice 2006-3, published January 17, 2006.)  The regulations will also provide procedures for certifying that a security that is not a common or ordinary share is equity rather than debt; that a foreign company is entitled to benefits under a comprehensive income tax treaty where a security is not readily tradable on a recognized U.S. stock exchange; and that the foreign corporation is not a PFIC in the taxable year in which a dividend is paid, or in the preceding taxable year. The regulations are also expected to address the meaning of the requirement in the legislative history that to qualify under a treaty for purposes of 1(h)(11) "substantially all of ...[the foreign corporation's] income in the taxable year in which the dividend is paid" must qualify for treaty benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Regarding Foreign Base Company Sales Income</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed regulations provide guidance relating to the manufacturing exception from foreign base company sales income (FBCSI), as defined in section 954(d), with respect to arrangements where the property sold by a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) is manufactured, produced, or constructed pursuant to a contract manufacturing arrangement.  These regulations also provide two new manufacturing rules that address a CFC's use of multiple branches that engage in manufacturing, producing, constructing, growing, or extracting activities either with two different items of property or with respect to the same item of property.  In addition, these regulations clarify the proper scope and application of the treaty purchasing or selling activities performed by or through a branch or similar establishment as being performed on behalf of the CFC.  Finally, the regulations clarify the relationship between the reporting of sales income and "sales activity."  These regulations, in general, will affect United States chareholders of controlled foreign corporations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interest on Overpayments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The amendments to Treasury Regulation 301.6611-1 Interest on Overpayments will explain the dates interest starts to accrue on refunds of overpayments claimed by corporations in four fact patterns: Refunds of withheld taxes claimed by foreign corporations that are subject to taxation but not required to file tax returns, refunds of withheld taxes claimed by foreign corporations not subject to taxation, refunds of estimated payments claimed by corporations not subject to taxation, and refunds of estimated payments claimed by corporations subject to taxation that have income excludible from gross income. The amendments will clarify the Service's position on the decisions in Overseas Thread Industries, Ltd. v. United States, 48 Cl. Ct. 221 (2000) and MNOPF Trustees, Ltd. v. United States, 123 F. 3d 1460 (Fed. Cir. 1997).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Treatment Under Sections 892 and 897(h)(1) of Distributions to Foreign Governments From Qualified Investment Entities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation contains proposed changes to existing final regulations regarding taxation of foreign governments and distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other qualified investment entities.  The proposed changes are needed to clarify that distributions received by a foreign government from such qualified investment entities are not exempt from taxation under section 892 but are treated under section 897(h)(1) as gain recognized by a foreign government shareholder from the sale or exchange of a United States real property interest described in section 897(c)(1)(A)(l).]]></ABSTRACT>

Since the Temporary regulations under section 103(k) of the 1954 Code relating to the public approval requirement applicable to industrial development bonds (not to qualified mortgage bonds, qualified student loan bonds, and qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) were published, several questions have arisen regarding the proper application of the public approval requirement under certain types of tax-exempt bond financings.]]></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 Internal Revenue Code (Code), upon the transfer of property to such corporation by a U.S. person. The statute provides certain exceptions to that rule, exemptions to those exceptions, and special rules applicable to certain specified transfers. The regulations will provide guidance concerning the applicability of the general rule and its exceptions and special rules, including guidance concerning transfers of assets for use in the active conduct of a trade or business, stock transfers, transfers of intangible assets, and transfers of branch operations that have operated at a loss.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed regulation provides guidance regarding modified rules for serving summonses on third party recordkeepers, the broadened range of summonses subject to the notice requirements, and the suspension of limitations periods when court actions are brought or when a summoned third party fails to fully respond to a summons. 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 the Tax Reform Act of 1986. This regulation is a continuation of the regulation project previously numbered at REG-208225-88.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Residuals--Timing of Income for Foreign Holders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations cross-reference temporary regulations that address transactions in which partnerships with foreign partners were being used in an attempt to avoid tax on some Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) excess inclusions.  That avoidance would have violated Congress's clear intention that excess inclusion income should always produce some tax liability.  Under the regulations, if a domestic partnership holds REMIC residual interests and allocates excess inclusions from those interests to foreign partners, the foreign partners' recognition of the excess inclusion income is accelerated for purposes of the withholding rules, and the partnership is required to withhold on the income, even in the absence of distributions of cash or property to the foreign partners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current regulations under section 1.861-8(e)(4), titled "Stewardship Expenses Attributable to Dividends Received," are confusing and subject to misuse by taxpayers. In conjunction with the proposed services regulations under section 482, it is proposed to revise these regulations to clarify the parameters of stewardship expenses, thereby demarcating them from shareholder activities under section 482 and supportive expenses under section 1.861T(b)(3).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application of Separate Limitations to Dividends From Noncontrolled Section 902 Corporation (Temporary)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 amended the foreign tax credit limitation rules under section 904(d) and extended lookthrough treatment to dividends paid by a 10/50 lookthrough corporation, generally effective retroactively for tax years beginning after December 31, 2002.  The Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005 permits taxpayers to elect to defer the effective date of the AJCA amendments to tax years beginning after December 31, 2004.  These regulations would provide guidance needed to comply with these changes, including transition rules for dividends paid by a 10/50 lookthrough corporation.]]></ABSTRACT>

Reg. section 1.901-2(f) is unclear in certain circumstances, including circumstances in which foreign law permits foreign corporations to determine their taxable income and tax liability on a combined basis.  Amendments are needed to clarify the application of Treas. Reg. section 1.901-2 in such circumstances.  In some cases, such as cases involving reverse hybrid entities, the application of existing Treas. Reg. section 1.901-2(f) reaches inappropriate results.  Amendments are needed to change the results in such cases.]]></ABSTRACT>

These regulations clarify that the rules in section 1.368-2(l) are not intended to affect the qualification of related party triangular asset acquisitions as reorganizations described in section 368 relating to the distribution requirement under sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 354(b)(1)(B).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Treatment Under Sections 892 and 897(h)(1) of Distributions to Foreign Governments From Qualified Investment Entites (Temporary)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation contains proposed changes to existing final regulations regarding taxation of foreign governments and distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other qualified investment entities.  The proposed changes are needed to clarify that distributions received by a foreign government from such qualified investment entities are not exempt from taxation under section 892 but are treated under section 897(h)(1) as gain recognized by a foreign government shareholder from the sale or exchange of a United States real property interest described in section 897(c)(1)(A)(l).]]></ABSTRACT>

A Form 13496, IRC Section 6020(b) Certification, or any other form that an authorized Internal Revenue officer or employees signs and uses to identify a document (or set of documents) containing the information set forth above as a section 6020(b) return, and the documents identified, constitute a valid section 6020(b)return.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of General Accepted Accounting Priniciple (GAAP) Earnings as Earnings and Profits (E&amp;P) of Foreign Corporations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations are part of Treasury's ongoing simplification efforts. The regulations would modify the computation of earnings and profits (E&P) of foreign corporations by allowing taxpayers to account for inventory costs, using capitalization methods used for financial accounting purposes rather than the uniform capitalization rules required by section 263A. The regulations would also permit reliance on financial accounting conventions in computing depreciation for foreign corporations deriving less than 20 percent of gross income from U.S. sources and maintaining assets with tax bases not materially different from financial book bases. Use of these simplified rules may result in an accounting method change, which would ordinarily require the filing of Form 3115 (Application for Change in Accounting Method). However, the regulations waive this filing requirement if its conditions are met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Coordination of United States and Certain Possessions Income Taxes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Internal Revenue Code section 7654 contains provisions for coordination of United States and certain possessions income taxes. Specifically, section 7654 provides for "cover over" of the net collection of taxes imposed under chapter 1 or deducted and withheld under chapter 24. Section 7654 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 provides specific rules for cover over with regard to the possessions American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Section 7654 of the 1954 Code, as amended in 1972 by Public Law 92-606, provides specific rules for cover over with regard to the possessions Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI). Section 7654 of the 1954 Code remains applicable to Guam and the NMI because neither of these two possessions has an effective implementing agreement with the United States, in accordance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, Public Law 99-514.

The regulations will provide rules under both the 1954 Code and the 1986 Code versions of section 7654.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Coordination of United States and Certain Possessions Income Taxes (Temporary)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Internal Revenue Code section 7654 contains provisions for coordination of U.S. and certain possessions income taxes. Specifically, section 7654 provides for "cover over" of the net collection of taxes imposed under chapter 1 or deducted and withheld under chapter 24. Section 7654 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 provides specific rules for cover over with regard to the possessions American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
  
Section 7654 of the 1954 Code, as amended in 1972 by Public Law 92-606, provides specific rules for cover over with regard to the possessions.  Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI). Section 7654 of the 1954 Code remains applicable to Guam and the NMI because neither of these two possessions has an effective implementing agreement with the United States, in accordance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, Public Law 99-514.
  
The regulations will provide rules under both the 1954 Code and the 1986 Code versions of section 7654.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Partial Payments on Offers in Compromise</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations would amend existing regulations regarding the submission of offers in compromise to reflect changes to the law made by section 509 of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005. The regulations would require persons proposing to settle their tax liabilities for payments of less than the total amount determined and assessed to make partial payments when submitting their offer to compromise and while the offer was under consideration. The regulations would waive the partial payment requirement under specific conditions.

The proposed regulations would also clarify when an offer in compromise is deemed accepted if the IRS has not taken action with respect to the offer within two years of the offer being submitted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recharacterization of Certain Qualifying Income of Publicly Traded Partnerships</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed regulations under section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code will apply to publicly traded partnerships (PTPs) that own controlling interests in corporations that earn non-qualifying income. The regulations will provide a re-characterization rule for certain gross income received by a PTP from a controlled corporation that would otherwise be qualifying income under section 7704(d) and that is deductible to the corporation. The income would be re-characterized as non-qualifying if the effect of the arrangements is to permit the PTP to received income that is not subject to a corporate-level tax and that would be non-qualifying income if earned directly by the PTP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application of Section 338 to Insurance Companies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations by reference to temporary regulations incorporated within TD 9257 (71 FR 17990) provide guidance in the following areas.  Guidance is provided with regard to the determination of the adjusted basis of section 197 amortizable assets resulting from certain reinsurance transactions and the interplay of those rules with regard to the requirement for the capitalization by insurance companies of policy acquisition expenses.  These proposed regulations by reference to the temporary regulations provide rules that apply to insurance reserve increases by a new target insurance company after a stock purchase which is treated as a deemed asset sale under section 338.  Additionally, these proposed regulations by reference to temporary regulations also allow the new target insurance company in a deemed asset sale to use the historical loss payment pattern elected by the old target under section 846(e) to continue to be used by new target insurance company, unless new target chooses to revoke that existing election.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Regarding Mark-to-Market Valuation for Certain Securities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 475(a) requires that dealers in securities mark their securities to market. If the security is inventory, the dealer must include that security at fair market value. Taxpayers must treat any security that is not inventory as if it 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 (ANPRM) was issued on May 5, 2003, and asked for comments on a possible financial statement-tax conformity safe harbor approach for valuing certain securities under section 475 for which the determination of actual fair market value is administratively difficult. On May 24, 2005, a notice of proposed rulemaking was issued.  The NPRM provided an elective safe harbor for dealers in securities, dealers in commodities, and traders in securities and commodities.  The safe harbor permits these taxpayers to make an election pursuant to which the values of the positions reported on certain financial statements are used as the fair market value of those positions for purposes of section 475, if certain conditions are met.  Those conditions and limitations are to ensure consistency with fair market value tax principles.  The NPRM also asked for specific comments relating to certain aspects of the rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 the linking of borrowing to investment, or 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Securities-Related Activities of Savings Associations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS is proposing to reduce regulatory burden by updating and revising its rules on securities-related activities of savings associations.  First, the proposed rule describes the existing authority of Federal savings associations to engage in various securities broker, dealer, and underwriting activities under the Home Owners' Loan Act (HOLA).  This description should reduce compliance burdens by making OTS positions regarding the permissibility of these activities readily available to all.

OTS is also updating the existing prohibition on the sale of debt and equity securities issued by a savings association or its affiliate at the offices of a savings association.  This change will reduce burden on savings associations by adding new exceptions and by eliminating consumer protection rules that overlap, and in some cases conflict, with other Agency guidance.  Finally, the proposed rule would eliminate various obsolete OTS securities activity regulations.]]></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 considering various revisions to the risk-based capital framework.   In October 2005, the Agencies published an ANPRM suggesting various approaches designed to enhance the framework's risk sensitivity and to minimize competitive disparities between larger banking organizations that will be subject to the advanced approaches implemented under the new Basel Capital Framework and other banking organizations that will not be subject to these advanced approaches.  After a review of public comments on the ANPRM, the Agencies published an NPRM for implementation of this capital framework on December 26, 2006.  In response to public comments, the Agencies intend to issue a second NPRM proposing a different capital framework.  This new NPRM would propose to implement a U.S. version of the standardized approach to credit risk and an approach for operational risk contained in the "International Convergence on Capital Measurement and Capital Standards" published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Thrift Supervision, National Credit Union Administration and Federal Trade Commission issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to gather information for developing guidelines and regulations required by section 312 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act).  Pursuant to section 312, the Agencies must (1) establish guidelines for use by persons that furnish information to consumer reporting agencies regarding the accuracy and integrity of the consumer information that they furnish to those agencies; and (2) prescribe regulations that require furnishers to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing the guidelines.  Section 312 also requires the agencies jointly to prescribe regulations that identify the circumstances under which a furnisher shall be required to reinvestigate a dispute concerning the accuracy of information contained in a consumer report on a consumer based on a direct request of the consumer.  The comment period closed in May 2006 and the various ageinces are developing the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recordkeeping Requirements for Savings Association Exceptions From Securities Broker or Dealer Registration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 replaced broad exceptions for banks from the definitions of "broker" and "dealer" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with specific exceptions.  Each of the exceptions permits a bank to act as a broker or dealer with respect to specified securities products or in transactions that meet specific statutory conditions without being subject to regulation by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).  More recently, the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 extended these same exceptions to savings associations and required the SEC and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) to jointly issue a rule to implement the exceptions.  They issued a proposed rule on December 26, 2006.  Following adoption of a final rule, the OTS, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, FRB, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will propose substantively identical recordkeeping rules for savings associations and banks and seek to avail themselves of the specific exceptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of a Revised Basel Capital Accord (Basel II)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2003, 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 (collectively, the "Federal Banking Agencies") sought industry comment on a proposed framework for implementing the New Basel Capital Accord in the United States.  The advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) described significant elements of the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based approach for credit risk and the Advanced Measurement Approaches for operational risk (together, the advanced approaches).

In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Federal Banking Agencies began a quantitative impact study to help determine the potential impact of implementing the capital framework set forth in the "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework," which updates and makes some significant revisions to the preliminary New Basel Capital Accord document from 2003, upon which the above ANPRM was based.

After review of the results of the quantitative impact study and after further review and full consideration of public comments received on the ANPRM, the Federal Banking Agencies published a notice of proposed rulemaking for implementation of this capital framework.  The NPRM specified 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 would 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>

These rules require financial institutions to provide initial and annual privacy notices to their customers.  As required under section 728 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006, the Agencies are proposing a safe harbor model privacy form that financial institutions may use to provide disclosures under the privacy rules.  This proposal would remove the Sample Clauses contained in these rules as of two years after the date a final rule is published.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibited Service at Savings and Loan Holding Companies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS adopted an interim final rule implementing section 710(a) of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006, which added a new section 19(e) to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA).  Section 19(e) of the FDIA prohibits any person who has been convicted of any criminal offense involving dishonesty or a breach of trust, or money laundering, or has agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion or similar program in connection with a prosecution for such an offense from holding certain positions with respect to a savings and loan holding company (SLHC).  The interim rule describes the actions that are prohibited under the new statute and describes procedures for applying for an OTS order granting a case-by-case exemption.  The rule also provides two regulatory exemptions: (1) An exemption for certain SLHC employees whose activities and responsibilities are limited solely to agriculture, forestry, retail merchandising, manufacturing, or public utilities operations, and (2) A temporary exemption for certain persons who held positions with respect to a SLHC as of the date of enactment of section 19(e) of the FDIA.]]></ABSTRACT>

As a result of this amendment, the time period for officers and employees of savings associations to file the report will be consistent with the time period for persons in similar positions at investment companies to file such reports under regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The banking agencies, NCUA, and FTC (the Agencies) issued a proposed rule implementing sections 114 and 315 of the FACT Act.  Section 114 requires the agencies to develop guidelines for use in identifying patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of identity theft. The Agencies are also required to issue regulations requiring each financial institution and creditor to establish reasonable policies and procedures to implement such guidelines. The regulations must contain a provision requiring a card issuer to notify the cardholder if the card issuer receives a notice of change of address for an existing account, and a short time later receives a request for an additional or replacement card.  Section 315 requires the Agencies to issue regulations regarding reasonable policies and procedures that a user of a consumer report should employ when the user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency.

        <RULE_TITLE>Expanded Examination Cycle for Certain Small Insured Depository Institutions and U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (the Agencies) jointly issued an interim rule to implement section 605 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 (FSRRA), and Public Law No. 109-473, collectively, the Examination Amendments on April 10, 2007.  The Examination Amendments permit insured depository institutions that have up to $400 million in total assets, and that meet certain other criteria, to qualify for an 18-month (rather than 12-month) on-site examination cycle.  Prior to enactment of FSRRA, only institutions with less than $250 million in total assets were eligible for an 18-month on-site examination cycle.  In addition to implementing the changes in the Examination Amendments, the Agencies are clarifying when a small insured depository institution is considered "well managed" for purposes of qualifying for an 18-month examination cycle.  The Agencies issued a final rule on September 25, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identity Theft Detection, Prevention, and Mitigation Program for Financial Institutions and Creditors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision the National Credit Union Administration, and the Federal Trade Commission the Agencies are issuing a joint final rule establishing guidelines and regulations to implement section 114 and final rules to implement section 315 of the FACT Act of 2003. 

Section 114 requires the Agencies to jointly issue guidelines for financial institutions and creditors identifying patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of identity theft. In addition, the Agencies must issue regulations requiring each financial institution and creditor to establish reasonable policies and procedures to implement the guidelines. The regulations must contain a provision requiring a card issuer to notify the cardholder if the card issuer receives a notice of change of address for an existing account, and a short time later receives a request for an additional or replacement card.  

Section 315 of the FACT Act requires the Agencies to issue a regulation describing reasonable polices and procedures for a user of consumer credit reports that receives a notice of discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency, informing the user of a substantial discrepancy between the address for the consumer that the user provided to request the consumer report and the addresses in the file of the consumer reporting agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Risk-Based Capital Standards:  Market Risk</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the ongoing effort to implement the Basel II capital framework, the OCC is amending the current market risk capital requirements for national banks.  See the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards:  A Revised Framework (June 2004) and the Application of Basel II to Trading Activities and the Treatment of Double Default (April 2005).  This rule is part of a rulemaking with the other Federal banking agencies to make the current market risk capital requirements generally more risk sensitive for trading activities in banks and bank holding companies.  Specifically, the Federal banking agencies plan to issue a final rule to require banks to hold additional capital for the risk of default of trading positions beyond the 10-day horizon currently required by the current market risk capital requirement.  A bank may develop its own approach or use an approach similar to that for credit risk of its non-trading positions to calculate the capital charge.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 204 directs OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision to establish recordkeeping requirements for banks relying on exceptions to the definitions of "broker" and "dealer" contained in paragraphs (4) and (5) of section 3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Pursuant to section 101 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006, the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and the FRB jointly published proposed rules to implement the "broker" provisions of the GLB Act on December 26, 2006, with a public comment period that closes on March 26, 2007.

        <RULE_TITLE>Expanded Examination Cycle for Certain Small Insured Depository Institutions and U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC issued final rule to amend 12 CFR part 4, the rule concerning the frequency of examination of national banks.  The rule implements section 605 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006, Public Law 109-351, 120 Stat. 1966 (2006)(FSRRA), and conforming amendments made in H.R. 6345, Public Law 109-473, 120 Stat. 3561 (2007).  Section 605 of the FSRRA increased the availability of the extended 18-month examination cycle to well-qualified banks, e.g. those that are well-managed and well-capitalized, with composite Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (UFIRS) supervisory ratings of "outstanding" (UFIRS 1) and assets of $500 million or less.  Under the current version of part 4, extended examination cycles are only available to well-qualified banks with assets of $250 million or less.  OCC revised part 4 to raise that figure to $500 million.  The rule also implements the discretion granted the OCC in H.R. 6345 to permit well-qualified banks with $500 million or less in total assets and composite ratings of "good" (UFIRS 1 or 2) to qualify for an 18-month examination cycle.  The rule defines the term "well managed" to mean a bank with a UFIRS rating of 1 or 2 for management in the bank's latest supervisory review.]]></ABSTRACT>

Additionally, this proposed rule would provide clarification of the delegation of authority related to timely claim filing and the claim appeals/review process.   Since Public Law 107-135 redesignates CHAMPVA authority in 38 U.S.C. 1713 to 38 U.S.C. 1781, this document would also revise the authority citations for the CHAMPVA regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its adjudication regulations regarding VA medical examinations and opinions pursuant to VA's duty to assist.  This proposed rule would clarify that, not withstanding that a VA medical examination or opinion may be necessary in certain cases, there is no commensurate right to have the claims folder reviewed by the VA examiner in every case.  This change is required to reflect legal developments and facilitate efficient processing of VA claims.  The intended effect of this amendment is to clarify current regulatory provisions and ensure consistency in the administration of VA claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Payment or Reimbursement for Emergency Services for Nonservice-Connected Conditions in Non-VA Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend its regulations concerning emergency hospital care and medical services provided to eligible veterans for nonservice-connected conditions at non-VA facilities.  Public Law 106-117 requires VA to pay for the cost of non-VA emergency care for veterans who have no medical insurance and no other means of payment for the care.  This is in keeping with Congress intent, as reflected in House Report No. 106-237, that this reimbursement and payment authority not cover care that is furnished after the patient's condition has been stabilized.  This proposal would amend certain regulations to permit VA to pay or reimburse for the costs of continued, non-emergent hospital care furnished to the veteran beyond the point of stabilization if the veteran requires continued hospital care and requests transfer to VA care but the safe transfer of the veteran cannot be effected due either to the lack of an available hospital bed at a VA facility or other Federal facility or the inability of VA or other Federal facility to accept transfer of the veteran.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs is amending its 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has published a series of Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRMs) setting out new proposed regulations governing VA compensation, pension, burial, and related benefits that would be located in a new part of the Code of Federal Regulations.  This amendment adds regulations concerning dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) for a veteran's surviving spouse, children, and parents and general rules relating to proof of death and service-connected cause of death to that proposed new part.  The intended effect of the revisions is to assist claimants and VA personnel in locating and understanding these provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing this interim final rule to amend its adjudication regulations regarding compensation for disabilities resulting from undiagnosed illnesses suffered by veterans who served in the Persian Gulf War. This amendment is necessary to extend the presumptive period for qualifying chronic disabilities resulting from undiagnosed illnesses that must become manifest to a compensable degree in order that entitlement for compensation be established. The intended effect of this amendment is to provide consistency in VA adjudication policy and preserve certain rights afforded to Persian Gulf War veterans and ensure fairness for current and future Persian Gulf War veterans.]]></ABSTRACT>

The regulation will establish the procedures and rules necessary for VA to facilitate the paid representation of claimants by accredited agents and attorneys after a notice of disagreement has been filed with respect to a case.  The intended effect of these regulations is to fulfill Congress' intent by expanding the scope of paid agent and attorney representation while ensuring that claimants for veterans benefits have responsible qualified representation in the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims for veterans benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grants to States for Construction and Acquisition of State Home Facilities--Update of State Authorized Beds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To amend VA regulations regarding Grants to States for Construction or Acquisition of State Homes to update the maximum number of beds for each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.  The law requires that, not less often than every 4 years, VA must review and, as necessary, revise the maximum number of State home beds permitted for each State.  38 U.S.C. 8134(a)(4).  It has been almost 6 years since VA originally established the maximum number of State home beds for each State.  The feasibility of VA's participation in all bed-producing projects in FY 2008 needs to be considered using the maximum numbers for each State that have been reviewed and, if necessary, revised.  This interim final rule thus must be published by August 15, 2007, in order to apply to bed-producing applications on the FY 2008 priority list.  38 U.S.C. 8135(a)(4).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2003, an interim final rule amending VA's medical regulations at 38 CFR part 17 to establish additional subpriorities within enrollment priority categories 7 and 8 and to provide that, beginning January 17, 2003, VA will continue to treat all veterans currently enrolled in any category and will treat new enrollees in categories 1 through 7.  However, the interim final rule provided that VA will suspend the enrollment of additional veterans who are in the lowest statutory enrollment category (priority category 8).  Based on the rationale set forth in the interim final rule, VA is adopting the provisions of the interim final rule as a final rule without change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accreditation of Service Organization Representatives</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations governing accreditation of service organization representatives of claimants for veterans benefits.  These changes will require that recognized organizations periodically recertify the qualifications of accredited representatives, and require that VA is notified when a recognized organization requests cancellation of a representative's accreditation based upon misconduct or lack of competence, or if a representative resigns to avoid cancellation of accreditation for misconduct or lack of competence.  These changes will also require that accredited claims agents periodically reestablish their good character and reputation and qualifications to assist claimants for VA benefits.  We will also clarify that the authority to cancel accreditation includes the authority to suspend accreditation for a period of time.  The purpose of these changes is to ensure that claimants for veterans' benefits have responsible, qualified representation in the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Department of Veterans Affairs Implementation of OMB Guidance on Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a part 801 on nonprocurement debarment and suspension in 2 CFR as one of a set of related actions by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Federal agencies.  This part is the Department of Veterans Affairs implementation of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on nonprocurement and suspension.  The Department of Veterans Affairs is removing 38 CFR part 44, the part containing VA's implementation of the Governmentwide common rule on nonprocurement debarment and suspension.  The new part in 2 CFR will serve the same purpose as the common rule in a simpler way.  This regulatory action is an administrative simplification that is not making any substantive changes to VA's policy or procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program--Duty To Assist</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the vocational rehabilitation and employment regulations of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) concerning VA responsibilities when a claim for vocational rehabilitation benefits and services is filed by an individual.  The Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 (VCAA) expanded VAs duty to assist claimants in substantiating their claims for benefits.  Upon receipt of a substantially complete application for benefits, VA's duty under the VCAA is to make reasonable efforts to help the claimant obtain the evidence necessary to substantiate the claim.  This effort is commonly referred to as the duty to assist.  In addition, we propose to improve readability and to make other clarifying changes that are nonsubstantive.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations for a Government-furnished memorial headstone or marker in a national or State veterans cemetery for certain individuals.  The final rule specifies that a spouse or surviving spouse of an eligible veteran, whose remains are unavailable for burial, and who died on or after November 11, 1998, is eligible for a memorial headstone or marker for placement in a national or State veterans cemetery.  Lastly, this final rule extends for 1 year the authority to provide a Government-furnished headstone or marker for already marked graves of eligible veterans whose deaths occurred on or after September 11, 2001, for placement in private cemeteries.  This final rule is necessary to incorporate statutory provisions into VA regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project originally was 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. The direct final was withdrawn because there were adverse comments on the rule. Originally, this regional rule was to be used as a model for electronic recycling nationwide. However, the usefulness of this rule as a pilot project was overtaken by the promulgation of EPA's national cathode ray tube (CRTs) exclusion from the definition of solid waste. CRTs are the video display components of televisions and computer monitors. Upon issuance of the national CRT rule on July 28, 2006 (71 FR 42928), this project was terminated. No work has been done on this project since the promulgation of the CRT rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification to the Public Hearing and Submittal Requirements for State Implementation Plans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current regulation as written requires States to hold public hearings for any revision to State implementation plans. States currently hold public hearings whether or not the public attends and participates in these hearings. Many of these plan revisions are minor or noncontroversial in nature, and no member of the public or the regulated community attends or participates in the hearing. These hearings consume both valuable time and resources. Rather than requiring a public hearing for all SIP revisions, the proposed revision will allow States to determine those actions for which there may be little or no interest by the public or the regulated community and, for those actions, to provide the public the opportunity to request a public hearing. If no request for public hearing is made, then the State would have fulfilled the requirements and no public hearing is required to be held. Whether or not a public hearing is held, the State is required to provide a 30-day period for the written submission of comments from the public. EPA believes this rule revision will have no effect on public participation in the rulemaking process, but will help State agencies reduce costs by not needing to pay for facilities for public hearings for which no one is interested in attending and participating. In addition, it will increase efficiency by allowing limited staff resources to be devoted to productive activities rather than staffing a hearing that is not attended. 

This proposed revision will also establish the minimum required number of electronic (1) and hard copies (2) to be submitted with all official SIP submittals or preliminary requests for EPA review from the current requirement of submitting five hard copies. With todays use of electronic processing and the use of the Internet these revisions align the regulatory requirements with the way States and EPA interact and with the way information is made available to the public. Rulemaking dockets are now available electronically, providing greater access to the public because there are no geographic or time limits on where or when documents may be obtained. Previously, when the dockets were comprised solely of hard copies of documents, the public needed to travel to specified locations to review the docket and the docket was available only during business hours. These revisions will reduce costs for States but will not interfere with the publics access to SIP revisions being reviewed by EPA. Rather, as described above, the availability of electronic files simplifies access for the public. Since the promulgation of 40 CFR EPA Regional Offices 3, 4, 7 and 8 have relocated. EPA is updating addresses to provide the public with the current address.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is finalizing Federal Implementation Plans to regulate emissions from the Navajo Generating Station and the Four Corners Power Plant. The plants were previously complying with emissions limits in the Arizona and New Mexico State Implementation Plans. However, EPAs promulgation of the Tribal Authority Rule clarified that State air quality regulations generally could not be extended to facilities located on the reservation. These FIPs establish federally enforceable emissions limitations for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, total particulate matter, and opacity, and a requirement for control measures for dust.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final Federal Register action rescinds the Federal Implementation Plan for the control of fugitive sulfur oxide emissions from the Kennecott Copper Company in White Pine County, Nevada. In a letter dated February 16, 2005, the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection requested the rescission of this Federal Implementation Plan. In 1993, the last vestige of the Kennecott Copper Company was removed from the area. As a result of the elimination of the source, the Federal Implementation Plan provisions are obsolete and can be removed from the applicable Nevada State Implementation Plan. We proposed to approve this rescission on August 28, 2006, and received no adverse comments on the proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is preparing a 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 revise the FIFRA Rules of Practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

EPA will respond to the petition by either granting or denying the petition. If EPA grants the petition a notice of proposed rulemaking will be published in the Federal Register, and if EPA denies the petition a notice of petition denial will be published. The deletion of this chemical would eliminate all the reporting requirements under the Toxic Chemical Release Reporting Rule.]]></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>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[The purpose of this rule is to revise the Agency's conflict of interest (COI) acquisition regulations. The specific revisions involve more stringent requirements for submission of relevant information from Agency contractors and potential contractors regarding their relationships with parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, and sister companies. Current Agency regulations do not require the submission of this level of information. Receipt and evaluation of this information is critical in order for the Agency to decide whether or not COI situations exist and how they are to be handled. This revised rule will also codify several COI clauses that have been developed since the issuance of the previous rule in 1994.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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 hull coating leachate); 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. The Phase II performance standards will be promulgated in five "batches." Each batch will address several performance standards. Once DoD implements rules for achieving the standards set in Phase II, covered discharges from Armed Forces vessels will be required to meet these standards, and will not be subject to discharge standards established by States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for Airport Deicing Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In EPAs 2004 Effluent Guidelines Plan, we announced that we would begin development of a regulation to control the pollutants discharged from airport deicing operations. Based on preliminary study and on public comments, discharges from deicing operations have the potential to cause fish kills, algae blooms, and contamination to surface or ground waters. A likely source of pollutants is aircraft deicing fluid (ADF) that is not properly recaptured, re-used, or treated before discharge. Deicing agents typically contain glycols and additives. There is great disparity among airports in terms of wastewater treatment and also in terms of discharge permits. Based on preliminary estimates, airports annually discharge approximately 21 million gallons of ADF. Early estimates of potential reductions from treatment technology and from pollution prevention practices indicate that those discharges could be lowered to 4 million gallons. Effluent guidelines for these operations would apply only to wastewaters that are considered point source discharges. Discharges that are non-point sources would not be subject to any potential effluent guidelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for Drinking Water Supply and Treatment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In EPAs 2004 Effluent Guidelines Plan, we announced that we would begin development of a regulation to control the pollutants discharged from drinking water treatment plants. Based on preliminary study and on public comments, discharges from drinking water facilities have the potential to discharge significant quantities of conventional and toxic pollutants, including metals, chlorine, and salts. Some of the sources of these pollutants are treatment sludges and reverse osmosis reject wastewaters. The preliminary data is not conclusive, and additional study and analysis of treatability is necessary to determine whether pollutant reductions are technologically feasible and economically achievable. The early steps of regulatory development, especially gathering additional discharge data, will be critical to better-informed decisions on how to proceed. EPA is preparing to conduct a study of a representative sample of the industry, along with wastewater sampling of facilities representing different size categories and treatment technologies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Drinking Water Regulations for Aircraft Public Water System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The action is to tailor drinking water rule requirements to the unique characteristics of aircraft to ensure that the water passengers drink while on an airplane is safe. This action is necessary because aircraft public water systems are very different from traditional public water systems. Aircraft fly to multiple destinations throughout the course of any given day and may board water from different sources along the way. Depending on the quality of the water that is boarded from these multiple sources and the care used to board the water, contamination could be introduced. This increases the vulnerability of the aircrafts water system to contamination when compared to a typical public water system. In the United States, water loaded aboard passenger aircraft comes from public water systems. The water provided by public water systems that are regulated by State and Federal authorities is among the safest in the world; however, a significant percentage of passenger aircraft travel includes international destinations. These aircraft may board water from foreign sources which are not subject to EPA drinking water standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is necessary because EPA must address a District Court ruling (currently on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit) which vacates a regulatory exemption at 40 CFR 122.3(a). Northwest Environmental Advocates v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (ND CA, C 03-5760 SI). The regulation excludes discharges incidental to the normal operation of a vessel from NPDES permitting and has existed, essentially unchanged, since 1973. Unless overruled on appeal, the Courts September 2006 ruling will vacate the entire exclusion as of September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, discharges of pollutants incidental to the normal operation of a vessel that had formerly been exempted from NPDES permitting by the regulation will be subject to prohibitions in CWA § 301(a) against the discharge of a pollutant without a permit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is in response to the Second Circuit's February 28, 2005, decision in Waterkeeper Alliance v. EPA, which vacated certain provisions of the 2003 Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) rule. Affected issues include the 1) requirement that all CAFOs with a potential to discharge seek NPDES permit coverage, and 2) review and enforceability of nutrient management plans (NMPs). This supplemental notice provides an alternative approach for identifying the terms of the NMP to be incorporated into NPDES permits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NPDES Permit Requirements for Peak Wet Weather Discharges From Publicly Owned Treatment Work Treatment Plants Serving Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems 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. One engineering practice that some facilities use to protect biological treatment units from damage and to prevent overflows and backups elsewhere in the system is referred to as wet weather blending. Wet weather blending occurs during peak wet weather flow events when flows that exceed the capacity of the biological units are routed around the biological units and blended with effluent from the biological units prior to discharge. Regulatory agencies, sewage treatment plant operators, and representatives of environmental advocacy groups have expressed uncertainty about National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements addressing such situations. EPA requested public comment on a proposed policy published on November 7, 2003. Based on a review of all the information received, EPA has decided not to finalize the policy as proposed in November 2003. On December 22, 2005, EPA requested public comment on an alternative Peak Flows Policy that is significantly different than the 2003 draft policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[On November 7, 2003, EPA requested public comment on a proposed policy which would have provided an alternative regulatory interpretation. Under the proposed interpretation in the November 7, 2003 proposed policy, a wet weather diversion around biological treatment units that was blended with the wastewaters from the biological units prior to discharge would not have been considered to constitute a prohibited bypass if the six criteria specified in the November 7, 2003 proposed policy were met. EPA received significant public comment on the proposed policy, including over 98,000 comments opposing the policy due to concerns about human health risks. On May 19, 2005, EPA indicated that after consideration of the comments, the Agency had no intention of finalizing the 2003 proposal. On July 26, 2005, Congress enacted the FY 2006 Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 109-54). Section 203 of the Appropriations Act provides that none of the funds made available in the Act could be used to finalize, issue, implement or enforce the November 7, 2003 proposed blending policy. On December 22, 2005, EPA requested public comment on an alternative Peak Flows Policy that is significantly different than the 2003 draft policy.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[The collection and treatment of municipal sewage and wastewater is vital to public health. During significant rain events, high volumes of water entering a sewage collection system can overwhelm the collection system or treatment plant. Operators of wastewater treatment plants must manage these high flows to both ensure the continued operation of the treatment process and to prevent backups and overflows of raw wastewater in basements or city streets. The proposed policy seeks to reduce public health risks by encouraging municipalities to make investments in ongoing maintenance and capital improvements to improve their systems long-term performance.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as amended in 1996 requires EPA to publish a list every five years of contaminants that are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems, and which may require regulation under the SDWA. 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 National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC), as applicable, and use an 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 was published on February 22, 2005 (70 FR 9017). 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 whether to regulate these contaminants with a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR). In order to make a determination of whether 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>Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is in response to the Second Circuit's February 28, 2005, decision in Waterkeeper Alliance vs. EPA, which vacated provisions in the Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) rule found at 40 CFR 412. Two vacatures from the case affect the 1) duty that all CAFOs need to apply for an NPDES permit, and 2) provisions that nutrient management plans (NMPs) need only be kept on-site. This rule would remove the duty to apply for all CAFOs and replace it with a requirement for CAFOs to apply for a permit if they discharge or propose to. The rule also would establish a process to address the court's concerns that the information within NMPs be available for public comment, reviewed by the permit authority, and incorporated into the permit. It is EPA's intention to make only those changes necessary to address the issues raised by the court.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPA is revising the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting requirements and Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards (ELGs) for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) in response to the decision issued by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Waterkeeper Alliance v. EPA, 399 F.3d 486 (2nd Cir. 2005), which vacated certain aspects of the 2003 CAFO rule and remanded other aspects for clarification. This rule responds to the court's decision while furthering the statutory goal of restoring and maintaining the nations water quality and effectively ensuring that CAFOs properly manage manure generated by their operations.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Congress passed the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (1972), also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nations waters (33 U.S.C. 1251(a)). Among the core provisions, the CWA establishes the NPDES permit program to authorize and regulate the discharge of pollutants from point sources to waters of the U.S. 33 U.S.C. 1342. Section 502(14) of the CWA specifically includes CAFOs in the definition of the term point source. Section 502(12) defines the term discharge of a pollutant to mean any addition of any pollutant to navigable waters from any point source (emphasis added). EPA has issued comprehensive regulations that implement the NPDES program at 40 CFR Part 122. The Act also provides for the development of technology-based and water quality-based effluent limitations that are imposed through NPDES permits to control the discharge of pollutants from point sources. CWA sections 301(a) and (b).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Because this rulemaking is in response to the decision issued by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Waterkeeper Alliance v. EPA vacating or remanding certain aspects of the 2003 CAFO rule, there are no non-regulatory options that would satisfy the requirements of the court.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Since there is no change in technical requirements, changes in impacts on respondents are estimated to result exclusively from changes in the information collection burden. EPA estimates that CAFOs will experience a net reduction in administrative burden of approximately $15.4 million due to the court decision. At the same time, however, permitting authorities would have to bear a net $0.5 million annual increase in administrative burden. In total, the administrative burden under the proposed rule is projected to decline to a total of approximately $64 million annually for both regulated facilities and permit authorities, which constitutes a reduction of more than $14.9 million compared to the 2003 CAFO rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking addresses the question of whether the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is applicable to water control facilities that merely convey or connect navigable waters. For purposes of this action, the term "water transfer" refers to any activity that conveys or connects navigable waters (as that term is defined in the CWA) without subjecting the water to intervening industrial, municipal, or commercial use. This rulemaking focuses exclusively on water transfers and is not relevant to whether any other activity is subject to the CWA permitting requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

In 2004, this question was presented before the Supreme Court in South Florida Water Management District v. Miccosukee Tribe of Indians.

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[On August 5, 2005, EPA issued a legal memorandum entitled Agency Interpretation on Applicability of Section 402 of the Clean Water Act to Water Transfers. Based on the statute as a whole, this memo concluded that Congress generally intended for water transfers to be subject to oversight by water resource management agencies and State non-NPDES authorities, rather than the NPDES permitting program. The interpretive memo stated that the Agency would initiate a rulemaking to this effect. The issuance of a rulemaking will provide the greatest certainty for stakeholders.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation Guidance for Mercury Water Quality Criteria</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the 2001 Federal Register notice of the availability of EPAs recommended water quality criterion for methylmercury, EPA stated that it would develop associated procedures and guidance for implementing the criterion. For states and authorized tribes exercising responsibility under CWA section 303(c), this document provides technical guidance on how they might want to use the recommended 2001 fish tissue-based criterion to develop and implement their own water quality standards for methylmercury. The guidance addresses topics including adoption and revision of standards, monitoring, waterbody assessment, water quality standards issues, TMDL development, and NPDES permitting. Since atmospheric deposition is considered to be a major source of mercury for many waterbodies, implementing this criterion involves coordination across media and program areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The methylmercury criterion is expressed as a fish and shellfish tissue value, and this raises both technical and programmatic implementation questions. Development of water quality standards, NPDES permits, and TMDLs present challenges because these activities typically have been based on a water concentration (e.g., as a measure of mercury levels in effluent). This guidance addresses issues associated with states and authorized tribes adopting a fish tissue-based water quality criterion into their water quality standards programs and implementation of the revised water quality criterion in TMDLs and NPDES permits. Further, because atmospheric deposition serves as a large source of mercury for many waterbodies, implementation of the criterion involves coordination across media and program areas.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Radon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1999, EPA proposed regulations for radon which provide flexibility in how to manage the health risks from radon in drinking water. The proposal was based on the unique framework in the 1996 SDWA. The proposed regulation would provide for either a maximum contaminant level (MCL), or an alternative maximum contaminant level (AMCL) with a multimedia mitigation (MMM) program to address radon in indoor air. Under the proposal, public water systems in States that adopted qualifying MMM programs would be subject to the AMCL, while those in States that did not adopt such programs would be subject to the MCL.]]></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. With regard to small businesses, EPA has provided guidance on development of operation and maintenance manuals and encourages the use and documentation of existing industry practices that meet or exceed the EPA proposed minimum waste handling standards. All indications are that this regulation as proposed would have a minimal economic impact. This regulation will result in reduction of municipal and commercial wastes deposited in coastal waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans 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 modifying and streamlining existing permit application requirements. Other revisions may be considered as work on this rule progresses. This rulemaking is expected to affect entities that implement the NPDES program or are regulated by it. This includes small businesses and State, tribal, and local governments. Most of these effects are expected to be deregulatory or streamlining in nature.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NPDES Permit Requirements for Municipal Sanitary and Combined Sewer Collection Systems, Municipal Satellite Collection Systems, Sanitary Sewer Overflows, and Peak Excess Flow Treatment Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering whether to develop a notice of rulemaking outlining 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for the Analysis of Co-Planar and Mono-Ortho-Substituted Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Under the Clean Water Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposal would amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR parts 136 and 503 to approve EPA Method 1668 for the congener-specific determination of co-planar and mono-ortho-substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in effluent, ambient water, and sludge. This method is necessary for the implementation of water quality-based permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) of the Clean Water Act. Water quality-based permits are necessary when technology-based controls do not ensure that a particular water body would meet the State's water quality standard. At present there is no EPA analytical method for determination of these PCBs at the levels of concern.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Underground Injection Control: Update of State Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA provides a place in part 147 of its UIC regulations where all the State UIC programs are summarized. Included in this summarization are all the authorities and regulations used by the States to implement the UIC program, as well as all other documents that are relevant to the program. The primary reason for this is to provide one place where all the UIC programs nationwide are presented. A second reason 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[Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) is an automobile fuel additive, introduced in the late 1970s during lead phase-out as an octane enhancer. It has been used in increasing quantity in the 1990s to meet the requirement of the Federal Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) and Oxyfuels programs required by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. However, MTBE has been detected in ground water and drinking water in a number of States due to leaking underground storage tanks and leaking pipelines. Although most of these detections are at levels well below health concern, MTBE's distinctive turpentine-like taste and odor can be detected at low levels. Presently, the Agency is revising the health assessment for MTBE.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Revisions to the Total Coliform Monitoring and Analytical Requirements and Consideration of Distribution System Issues</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is revising the Total Coliform Rule (TCR), which was published in 1989. On July 18, 2003, EPA published a Federal Register (68 FR 42907) Notice of Intent to revise the TCR. EPA intends revisions to the TCR to maintain or provide for greater human health protection than under the existing TCR while improving system efficiency. 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 original 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. Since then, EPA has gained a better understanding of distribution system impacts on human health and, therefore, intends to strengthen the TCR and to consider how to address distribution system contamination issues. The process to do so involves a performance evaluation, development of issue papers on both distribution systems and total coliform, stakeholders meetings, and proposed and final rules. EPA has also convened a Federal Advisory Committee to address the TCR revisions and to consider distribution system issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Guidelines and Standards: Recodification of Various Effluent Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Several years ago, OW 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, Jun. 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 one point source category and the general definitions 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 some long-term savings in the annual cost of printing these regulations. The point source category which would be recodified by this action is Petroleum Refining (part 419). The revisions would also expand the list of general definitions in section 401.11.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for Chlorine and Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Manufacturing Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering revising the existing effluent guidelines and standards for the manufacture of chlorinated hydrocarbons and elemental chlorine. We refer to this industrial segment as chlorine and chlorinated hydrocarbons manufacturing, or CCH. Currently, wastewater discharges from chlorinated hydrocarbons manufacturing are subject to the Organic Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF) Point Source Category (40 CFR Part 414). The wastewater discharges from chlorine manufacturing through the chlor-alkali manufacturing process are subject to the Inorganic Chemicals Point Source Category (40 CFR Part 415). Based on a preliminary study, discharges from vinyl chloride and chlor-alkali manufacturing might contain significant quantities of toxic pollutants, including dioxin, and in the 2004 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan, EPA identified these two industrial sectors as candidates for possible regulatory revision. EPA has since expanded its review to include all manufacturing processes that produce elemental chlorine and the manufacture of chlorinated hydrocarbons. Chlorinated hydrocarbons that are regulated under the Pesticide Chemicals Manufacturing Point Source Category (40 CFR 455) or the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Point Source Category (40 CFR 439) are not included in the CCH manufacturing segment. Preliminary estimates of the scope of the rulemaking are that 60 to 70 facilities might be affected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is an update to the removal credits regulation found at 40 CFR 403.7. Specifically, EPA will propose to amend the list of pollutants eligible for removal credits in 40 CFR 403.7, Appendix G, Table II, to add 16 pollutants that EPA has determined would not need to be regulated under the sewage sludge regulations. These 16 pollutants have gone through the same assessment as the pollutants currently identified as eligible for removal credits in Table II; the assessment included public notice and comment in conjunction with a related Office of Water action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Second 6--Year Review of Existing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires EPA to review and revise, if appropriate, all National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) no less frequently than once every six years. According to SDWA, any revisions of drinking water regulations must maintain, or increase, the level of public health protection provided; however, EPA may identify regulatory changes that will streamline or reduce existing requirements without lessening the level of public health protection. As part of this action, the Office of Water (OW) will implement the existing protocol for conducting each 6-year review (developed under the first six year review cycle) to review critical elements for regulated chemical contaminants (e.g., health risks, occurrence, analytical methods, treatment technologies). No new requirements will be imposed by this action. The purpose of the review is to determine whether new data, technology, or other factors exist that justify revisions to existing NPDWRs. The outcome of the review will be a Federal Register notice making available the results of the Agency's review and recommendations for any regulations the Agency may consider revising. 

Because this action does not change or add to existing requirements, OW will not be performing a formal economic analysis or consulting with small businesses, governments, or tribal officials. OW does not plan to generate new data as part of this action; the review will be based on recent compliance data from public water systems and existing data on health effects (such as completed IRIS and OPPTS health risk assessments) and analytical methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 17, 1993, EPA proposed revised effluent limitations, guidelines, and standards, and best management practices regulations for the Dissolving Kraft and Dissolving Sulfite Subcategories of the Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Point Source Category (40 CFR part 430). EPA refers to this rulemaking as Pulp and Paper Phase III. EPA considered the public comments on the proposed rule and the new data acquired since proposal. The December 2006 Effluent Guidelines Plan clarified that EPA is not proceeding with a national rulemaking but will instead provide assistance to the States to address any concerns with discharges from these facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Short-Term Regulatory Revisions and Clarifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action (proposed in the Federal Register on July 18, 2006 (71 FR 40827)) is minor as it makes minor additions and clarifications to an existing regulation. EPA undertook several activities in 2004 to determine whether a national problem exists related to elevated drinking water lead levels comparable to that in the District of Columbia. This evaluation, while it did not reveal a national problem comparable to DC, highlighted areas for improvement and clarification to the existing lead and copper rule and associated guidance materials. Several short-term actions will be initiated in 2005 and completed during the 2005 to 2006 time frame. EPA also identified several regulatory changes that will be considered as part of identifying more comprehensive changes to the rule. These considerations are longer-term as they require additional data collection, research, analysis, and stakeholder involvement to support decisions. These longer-term regulatory changes will be examined by a separate workgroup under an additional regulatory action. This action addresses the regulatory revisions to be completed in the 2005 to 2006 time frame. Regulatory changes to be addressed include clarifications about sample collection; clarifications to definitions for monitoring and compliance periods; modifications regarding public water system notification to their state of treatment changes prior to the change; revisions to language related to criteria for reduced monitoring; revisions to language regarding consideration of lead service line replacement for compliance purposes; revisions to language related to flushing guidance; and additional requirements for consumer notification of lead monitoring results.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>RCRA Subtitle C Financial Test Criteria Regulatory Determination</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The RCRA subtitle C financial test is one of several mechanisms available to the regulated community for demonstrating financial assurance for closure/post-closure of their facilities. EPA decided at the end of the second quarter of FY 2007 to analyze whether regulatory changes are needed to ensure the tests continued and effective use. Test criteria have not been updated since promulgation in 1982. Concerns have been raised that the criteria are outdated and no longer adequately predict a companys continued solvency, such that some States are not allowing companies to use the test, reducing the number of mechanisms that are available. Although action external to EPA has been taken (e.g., passage of Sarbanes-Oxley Act) to address this market failure, the perception of a problem remains and continues to drive some States behavior. 

Providing the regulated community with a strong and effective financial test is an important regulatory function. In the absence of EPA taking action to analyze the issues and make changes, as appropriate, the availability of the test as a financial assurance mechanism will likely continue to be restricted. Therefore, we believe it is important to address this now so as to assure the continued availability of the financial test, thereby saving costs that would be incurred if an alternate mechanism had to be obtained or closure/post-closure activities were delayed. 

Additionally, some language in the financial test reporting requirements is no longer consistent with current professional standards under Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles. Addressing this inconsistency would facilitate implementation by regulators who may not have appropriate expertise to adequately review detailed financial information submissions.

There are three options that EPA is considering. After analyzing these options, EPA may decide to proceed with a rulemaking utilizing these options either independently or in combination. If so, EPA will issue a new proposed rule. The three options are briefly described below: 
(1) Undertake targeted rulemaking to address documentation and reporting issues, particularly with respect to negative assurance language, as well as other implementation issues. 
(2) Undertake rulemaking to propose adding a ratings requirement to Alternative I of the financial test. [Note: This was the recommendation of the Environmental Financial Advisory Board (EFAB).]
(3) Undertake rulemaking to propose adopting the financial test criteria that were promulgated as part of the standardized permit rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 continues to consider 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 would 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.]]></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 the 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 that would revise the TPQ for solids in solution and seek comment on an alternative approach. EPA is pursuing this proposal in part based on industry's request to revisit the TPQ rationale for the chemical paraquat dichloride (handled as a solid in aqueous solution). If the TPQ for solids in solution is raised, it would 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 intends to 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>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[EPA considered alternative options for various aspects of this proposed rule, following receipt of public comments, and through logical outgrowth of previously considered alternatives. Alternative options included (1) exempting asphalt cement containers from the requirements of the SPCC rule; (2) exempting farms of a certain storage capacity, where the exact storage capacity has not been specified; (3) providing an exemption only for residential heating oil containers located at farms; (4) providing the same relief as in the preferred option to owners and operators of qualified facilities with total oil storage capacities of 5,000 gallons or less; (5) giving the option wherein owners and operators of new production facilities would be allowed one year after the start of operations to prepare and implement an SPCC Plan; (6) allowing the facilities to choose between a flowline maintenance program with a contingency plan (as in the proposed amendments) and providing a method of secondary containment for flowlines and intra-facility gathering lines; (7) regulatory alternatives for oil production facilities that have wells that produce 10 barrels or less of crude oil per day and are known as stripper wells.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[At the 7 percent discount rate, the proposed amendments to the SPCC rule are expected to yield annualized cost savings of approximately $7 million from the proposed exemption of hot-mix asphalt containers, $4 million from the proposed changes for exempting pesticide application equipment, $2 million from the proposed exemption of residential heating oil containers, $251 million from the proposed amendments to the definition of facility, $1 million from the proposed clarification to the facility diagram requirements, $48 million from the proposed revision to the loading rack definition, $24 million from the streamlined requirements for Tier 1 qualified facilities, $7 million from the proposed amendments to the security requirements, $9 million from the amendments to integrity testing requirements, $2 million for owners and operators of AFVO facilities, $25 million for owners and operators of production facilities from the six-month delay in SPCC Plan preparation and implementation, and $8 million from exemption of flow-through process vessels from sized secondary containment. Additional benefits of this rule were not quantified because the impact of the rule on human health and environment are expected to be marginal. The principal effect of the proposed amendments would be lower compliance costs for owners and operators of certain types of facilities and equipment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[In the absence of quantitative information on the change in risk related to the specific proposed amendments, EPA conducted a qualitative assessment, which suggests that the proposed amendments will not lead to a significant increase in oil discharge risk.]]></RISKS>

EPA subsequently granted reconsideration petitions relating to certain issues presented by the rules, but has not yet issued a final determination on reconsideration. (See SAN 5047.1 (RIN 2050-AG35) for the specific citations of this overall effort). Following the close of the comment period on the proposed reconsideration rule, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has issued two opinions construing section 112 (d) of the Clean Air Act, and one of those opinions has called into question the legality of some of the standards for hazardous waste combusters. This notice will discuss the standards that EPA promulgated in October 2005, and specifically identify which standards EPA believes are consistent with the Act and case law, and which standards are not and need to reexamined through a subsequent rulemaking. With respect to those standards EPA intends to retain, this notice will indicate the portions of the rationale upon which EPA intends to rely, and which portions EPA would no longer rely upon as a justification for the standards. EPA will seek public comment on this analysis. EPA will also place edited versions of various support documents in the public docket, edited to remove portions of the rationale on which EPA no longer plans to rely, and seek public comment on these edits. EPA will also seek public comment on its revised response to public comment on whether hydrogen chloride and chlorine are pollutants with a threshold level of exposure for purposes of section 112 (d) (4) of the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Land Disposal Restrictions Treatment Standards and Amendments to Recycling Requirements for Spent Petroleum Refining Hydrotreating and Hydrorefining Catalysts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to regulations found at 40 CFR 260.20, the Vanadium Producers and Reclaimers Association (VPRA) submitted a rulemaking petition to the EPA requesting that the Agency amend the hazardous waste regulations affecting the treatment and disposal of certain petroleum refinery process wastes. Specifically, VPRA requested that EPA revise the treatment standards under the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) Program for the disposal of spent hydrotreating and hydrorefining catalysts (waste codes K171 and K172, respectively). EPA is publishing a notice in response to the rulemaking petition, by proposing to amend the Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) requirements for EPA Waste Code K172 by adding numeric treatment standards for certain polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). EPA is also responding to other elements of the rulemaking petition in this notice. Finally, in response to separate comments received from petroleum industry representatives, EPA is taking this opportunity to propose changes to its regulations to help encourage consistent levels of recycling of spent hydrotreating and hydrorefining catalysts, in a manner that protects human health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since the Agency does not expect to respond to certain releases from farms and in an effort to ensure that National Response Center resources are used efficiently, EPA is considering a rulemaking proposing to exempt from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) notification requirements air releases of hazardous substances from animal waste. As part of this evaluation, EPA does not anticipate exempting releases of hazardous substances to water from animal waste, nor is EPA considering exempting all types of hazardous substance releases to air associated with agriculture. That is, EPA is not considering exempting ammonia releases from ammonia storage tanks located at agricultural operations, and thus they would still be reportable at or above their reportable quantity. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) emergency notification requirements to State emergency response commissions (SERCs) and local emergency planning committees (LEPCs) are linked by statute to the CERCLA notification requirements. This rulemaking will also address those EPCRA emergency notification requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Universal Waste Rule: Addition of Pharmaceuticals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will propose adding hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to the universal waste system. This incorporation is appropriate because these wastes are produced by a various and vast community of generators and are often mismanaged due to health care workers and retail chain employees being unfamiliar with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act regulations. Expansion of the universal waste system to include hazardous pharmaceutical wastes will protect public health and the environment by providing a more streamlined but effective waste management system. Due to the simplified requirements, this action will also provide regulatory relief to health care facilities, retail pharmacies, veterinary clinics and any other entities that generate hazardous pharmaceutical wastes.

The inclusion of hazardous pharmaceutical wastes in the universal waste rule is expected to provide relief in the management of P-listed pharmaceuticals by simplifying current requirements of large quantity generators. Also, we anticipate that the rule will encourage health care personnel to manage other pharmaceutical wastes as universal wastes, particularly wastes that are not regulated as hazardous but which nonetheless pose hazards. Finally, the addition of hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to the rule will facilitate pharmaceutical take-back programs so that these wastes can be properly managed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will address some of the remaining issues from the proposed rule of June 8, 1998. Reporting thresholds for gasoline and diesel fuel at retail gas stations were finalized on February 11, 1999 (64 FR 7031). This rule will address those reporting changes in section B of the preamble to the proposed rule under the heading "Other Regulatory Changes." The revisions in this rule will have only minimal impact on the regulated community. Most of the changes are minor revisions and clarifications of interpretation that EPA has been providing the regulated communities. In addition, as stated in the proposed rule, 40 CFR parts 355 and 370 will be reorganized and rewritten in plain English format to make them clearer and easier to use.]]></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. 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 sub-sectors, but many users use small numbers of wipes with small amounts of solvents on them. EPA completed a risk analysis to evaluate the risks to human health and the environment if solvent-contaminated wipes or laundry sludge were allowed to be disposed in a municipal solid waste landfill.
 
When finalized, this regulation would provide regulatory relief for two types of solvent-contaminated wipes: (1) Wipes disposed of in a landfill or by combustion after use, and (2) wipes which are laundered after use to remove the solvent and then are used again. EPA proposed to conditionally exclude disposed wipes from the definition of hazardous waste and to conditionally exclude laundered wipes from the definition of solid waste. The regulation, if finalized, is estimated to result in $28 million to $72 million in net benefits 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>Hazardous Waste Management System: Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste (F019 Listing Amendment in Wastewater Treatment Sludges From Zinc Phosphating Processes in Automotive Assembly Plants)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Automobile and light truck manufacturers are substituting aluminum or aluminized components in place of steel in vehicles to reduce the weight and 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. We have determined that this particular industry's wastewater treatment sludge is unlikely to present significant human health or environmental risk when managed in the expected quantities. Therefore, this action would reduce the regulatory burden on these industries by excluding them from current RCRA regulations that apply to the wastewater treatment sludges from the chemical conversion coating (zinc phosphating) of aluminum.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expanding the Comparable Fuels Exclusion Under RCRA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA currently excludes specific industrial wastes, also known as comparable fuels, from most Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste management requirements when the wastes are used for energy production and do not contain hazardous constituent levels that exceed those found in a typical benchmark fuel that facilities would otherwise use. Using such wastes as fuel saves energy by reducing the amount of hazardous waste that would otherwise be treated and disposed, promotes energy production from a domestic, renewable source, and reduces use of fossil fuels. With an interest in supplementing the nations energy supplies and to ensure that energy sources are managed only to the degree necessary to protect human health and the environment, EPA, as part of the Resource Conservation Challenge, is examining the effectiveness of the current comparable fuel program and considering whether other industrial wastes could be safely used as fuel as well. As part of this investigation, EPA has proposed to expand the existing comparable fuel exclusion and is seeking comment on that proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPA has proposed to expand the comparable fuel exclusion under section 261.38 of the rules implementing subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for fuels that are produced from hazardous waste but which generate emissions that are comparable to emissions from burning fuel oil when such fuels are burned in an industrial boiler. Such excluded fuel would be called emission-comparable fuel (ECF). ECF would be subject to the same specifications that currently apply to comparable fuels, except that the specifications for certain hydrocarbons and oxygenates would not apply. The ECF exclusion would be conditioned on requirements including: design and operating conditions for the ECF boiler to ensure that the ECF is burned under the good combustion conditions typical for oil-fired industrial boilers; and conditions for tanks storing ECF which conditions are typical of those for storage of commercial fuels, and are tailored for the hazards that ECF may pose. This rule, if finalized, is intended to save energy by reducing the amount of hazardous waste that would be otherwise treated and disposed, and also to promote energy production from a domestic, renewable source and reduce our use of fossil fuels.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This action is discretionary on the Agency's part.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[To make significant changes to the existing comparable fuels standard, EPA must modify the existing regulations. EPA has proposed modified regulations and is seeking comment on those potential regulatory modifications.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rule, as proposed, is projected to result in a benefit to society in the form of net cost savings to the private sector, on a nationwide basis, thereby allowing for the more efficient use of limited resources elsewhere in the market. This is accomplished without compromising protection of human health and the environment by ensuring comparable emissions from the burning of high Btu value waste. The total net social benefits projected as a result of this rule, as proposed, are estimated at approximately $23 million per year. Avoided management and fuel costs represent the vast majority of all benefits (cost savings). Transportation, boiler retrofits, and analytical costs represent the majority of the costs. This estimate assumes all States adopt the rule, and incorporates all cost savings to affected generators, less all associated costs. Nearly 183,000 tons (U.S.) of waste are expected to initially qualify for the exclusion with approximately 107,000 tons/year actually excluded. Of this total, we estimate that approximately 34,000 tons are not currently burned for energy recovery.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The exclusion for emission-comparable fuel (ECF) would be based on the rationale that ECF has fuel value, that the hydrocarbon and oxygenate constituents no longer subject to a specification themselves have fuel value, and that emissions from burning ECF in an industrial boiler operating under good combustion conditions are likely not to differ from emissions from burning fossil fuels under those same conditions. Emissions from burning ECF in an industrial boiler operating under good combustion conditions would be comparable to emissions from burning fuel oil in an industrial boiler operating under the same good combustion conditions because operating a boiler under good combustion conditions, evidenced by carbon monoxide (CO) emissions below 100 ppmv (on an hourly rolling average), assures the destruction of organic compounds generally to trace levels, irrespective of the type or concentration of the organic compound in the feed. Given that ECF (including the hydrocarbon and oxygenate portion) would have legitimate energy value and that emissions from burning ECF are comparable to fuel oil when burned in an industrial boiler under the good combustion conditions typical of such boilers, classifying such material as a fuel product and not as a waste promotes RCRAs resource recovery goals without creating a risk from burning greater than those posed by fossil fuel. Under these circumstances, EPA can permissibly classify ECF as a non-waste.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Solid Wastes Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 28, 2003 (68 FR 61558), EPA proposed revisions to the definition of solid waste for hazardous secondary materials being reclaimed in a continuous process in the generating industry in an effort to increase the recycling of such materials. The Agency also took comment on a broader proposal to exclude hazardous secondary materials from being a solid waste under RCRA Subtitle C. This proposal was in part prompted by various court decisions about the extent of RCRA jurisdiction over hazardous secondary materials being recycled. In the same notice, the Agency also proposed criteria for determining whether or not hazardous secondary materials are recycled legitimately; the legitimacy criteria would apply to both those hazardous secondary materials that were excluded, as well as those that would remain subject to regulation under Subtitle C of RCRA. EPA received numerous comments on the proposal. In addition, EPA has conducted studies of recycling practices and the circumstances under which recycling of hazardous secondary materials are reclaimed in an environmentally sound manner, as well as when such reclamation has caused environmental problems. Based on the comments received and the new information being made available for public comment, the Agency issued a supplemental proposal on March 26, 2007 (72 FR 14172) to exclude from being a solid waste certain hazardous secondary materials that are reclaimed. We also took comment on revisions being considered to the legitimacy criteria, as well as on a variance process regarding hazardous secondary materials that are recycled.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We have solicited comment in the proposal on several alternative regulatory options, including a broad exclusion for legitimately recycled materials, and are evaluating public comments on all available options.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[If the exclusions are promulgated as proposed and are adopted by all states, EPA expects this action to result in a net effect of $107 million in average annual cost savings to about 4600 facilities in 530 industries, and is expected to remove from RCRA regulation 0.65 million tons per year of hazardous secondary materials currently managed as RCRA hazardous waste, and 0.06 million tons (9%) of hazardous waste that is currently disposed (i.e., landfilled or incinerated), which EPA expects may switch to recycling as a result of this rule. The breakdown of net cost savings per exclusion is $87 million per year for materials recycled onsite, by the same company, or through a tolling arrangement, $19 million per year for intercompany offsite recycling, and one million per year for case-by-case non-waste determinations. These estimates are within the uncertainty range of $93 million to $205 million in annual materials management cost savings, and 0.33 to 1.70 million tons per year in affected hazardous secondary materials, respectively, for the net effect of the proposed regulatory exclusions.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[EPA has conducted three new studies that address the following risk-related questions: (1) How do recyclers ensure that industrial recycling is done in an environmentally safe manner?; (2) to what extent has industrial recycling resulted in past environmental problems?; and (3) are there certain economic forces that can explain environmental problems resulting from such recycling? EPA used these studies in developing our 2007 proposal.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP:  National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Standards for Hazardous Waste Combustors (Response to Petitions for Reconsideration)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for hazardous waste combustors on October 12, 2005. Following promulgation of the final rule, the EPA Administrator received four petitions for reconsideration pursuant to section 307(d)(7)(B) of the Clean Air Act. Under this section of the Clean Air Act, the Administrator must initiate reconsideration proceedings if the petitioner can show that it was impracticable to raise an objection to a rule within the public comment period or that the grounds for the objection arose after the public comment period. 
On March 23, 2006 and September 6, 2006, EPA granted reconsideration with respect to eight issues raised by the petitions. EPA also proposed amendments and corrections to the October 2005 final rule that clarify several compliance and monitoring provisions of the rule. The Response to the Petitions for Reconsideration rule will announce EPA's final action regarding the eight issues raised in the petitions and the other compliance and monitoring amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waste Management System; Testing and Monitoring Activities; Methods Innovation Rule; Correction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 14, 2005 (70 FR 34538), EPA published a final rule (the Methods Innovation Rule, or the MIR) to amend a variety of testing and monitoring requirements in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste regulations. EPA is correcting errors inadvertently made by the MIR to appendix II to part 258 of the RCRA regulations. 
Specific actions are: Amendments to the table in appendix II to part 258 of 40 CFR by (1) removing three chemical entries and (2) adding two chemical entries. The chemical entry errors inadvertently occurred as a result of publication of the final MIR on June 14, 2006 (70 FR 34538). The first chemical entry for removal from the table in appendix II, part 258, is as follows (written here exactly as the entry incorrectly appears in the appendix): 1,1-Dichloroethylene; 1,1-Dichoroethene; Vinylidene chloride cis-1,2-Dichlorethylene; cis-1,2-Dichloroethene. This entry is being removed because it incorrectly addresses two different chemicals and their synonyms under one entry. To correct and replace this entry, we are adding the following two chemical entries: 1,1-Dichloroethylene; 1,1-Dichloroethene; Vinylidene chloride and cis-1,1-dichloroethylene; cis-1,2-Dichloroethene. The other two chemical entries for deletion are: alpha, alpha-Dimethylphenethylamine, and 2,3,7,8-TCDD; 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. These chemical entries are being deleted because these chemicals did not appear in the table prior to publication of the MIR and were inadvertently added during development and publication of the MIR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Comprehensive Guideline for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[RCRA section 6002 and EO 13101 require EPA to prepare guidelines in the Federal Register that 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 61 items under four Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG1, CPG2, CPG3 and CPG4). EPA has also issued a Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN) with each CPG that provides recommendations on buying the designated items. EO 13423 requires EPA to review existing CPG product designations for effectiveness, obsolescence, and consistency with the biobased products designation program, environmentally preferable purchasing program, and Energy Star and FEMP-designated energy efficient products program. EPA has proposed one new and one revised item designation in CPG5. 

In addition, CPG Nylon Carpet was originally proposed with CPG4, but, not included in the final designation because more information was needed. A Notice of Data Availability was issued asking for that information. EPA is now considering finalizing the CPG for Nylon Carpet separately from CPG4 and 5.]]></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 non-hazardous 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 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 eco-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, particularly since the industry has improved its waste management practices and most State regulatory programs are similarly improving. To this end, the Agency will be issuing a Notice of Data Availability (NODA) announcing the availability for public inspection and comment of new information and data on the management of coal combustion wastes that the Agency will consider in deciding next steps in this effort.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will propose revisions to subpart J of the National Contingency Plan (NCP). The Clean Water Act requires EPA to 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 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 (1) into or upon navigable waters, adjoining shorelines, the waters of the contiguous zone, or (2) which may affect natural resources belonging to or under the exclusive management authority of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Requirements for Transboundary Shipments of Wastes Destined for Recovery Between the U.S. and Other OECD Countries and for Export Shipments of Spent Lead Acid Batteries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is considering amending the existing regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regarding the transboundary movement of hazardous waste among countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), as specified in 40 CFR 262, subpart H. Proposed regulatory changes under consideration include, but are not limited to, reducing the number of control levels, exempting qualifying shipments sent for laboratory analysis from certain paperwork requirements, requiring recovery facilities to submit a certificate of recovery, and adding provisions for the return or re-export of wastes subject to Amber control procedures under the OECD framework. These amendments would implement revisions that the OECD made to both its framework for hazardous waste transboundary movements between member countries and to its waste lists. The revisions were adopted by the OECD to create a more streamlined, uniform system for exports and imports, resulting in a more efficient international recycling market and increased recycling among the member countries. Since the United States supported the 2001 Decision and is a party to the OECD, the United States is legally obligated to implement these changes within its domestic regulations. Besides addressing the amendments adopted by the OECD in 2001 and 2004, the Agency may also seek to clarify certain existing provisions in subpart H that were identified as potentially ambiguous to the regulated community. In addition to the OECD amendments, the Agency is considering amending the regulations under RCRA regarding the transboundary movements of spent lead-acid batteries being reclaimed, as specified in 40 CFR part 266, subpart G. Currently, spent lead-acid batteries destined for export/reclamation are not subject to the 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. These proposed amendments would require appropriate notice and consent for those batteries intended for export/reclamation. EPA is considering amending the current regulations in the interest of harmonizing them with both the amendments adopted by the OECD in 2001 and EPAs existing export requirements for RCRA Universal Waste.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act, Section 112(r)(7); Availability of Information to the Public; Technical Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 68 require certain stationary sources to report an Off-site Consequence Analysis (OCA), including a worst-case release scenario, in a Risk Management Plan (RMP) that is to be made available to the public. In response to concerns that posting OCA information on the Internet might increase the risk of terrorist and other criminal activities, on August 5, 1999, the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act (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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking To Streamline Laboratory Waste Management in Academic and Research Laboratories</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The College and University Laboratory rulemaking is focusing on the ways to make the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act a better fit for the laboratory setting and to improve reuse, recycling, and the overall management of chemicals in the laboratory settings. EPA recognizes the unique aspects of academic laboratories compared with large manufacturing processes. For example, academic laboratories generate small amounts of many different wastes while large manufacturing processes tend to generate large amounts of a few wastes. Our goal is to improve the program to better protect human health and the environment, through standards that are harmonious with the way academic laboratories operate. Our aim is to improve compliance, not by relaxing the standards, but by improving the fit through regulatory changes to 40 CFR 262.34.]]></ABSTRACT>

There are 2.4 million Federal-defined hazardous waste paper manifests processed each year, and a total of 5.1 million manifests processed each year including State-defined hazardous waste paper manifests. EPA proposed electronic manifest standards in May 2001 as part of a more general manifest revision action that also addressed standardizing the paper manifest form's data elements and procedures for its use across all States. The manifest form revisions were decoupled from action on the electronic manifest, and the Final Form Revisions Rule was published on June 16, 2005. The May 2001 proposed rule included: (1) Electronic file formats for the manifest data elements; (2) electronic signature options; and (3) computer security controls aimed at ensuring data integrity and reliable systems. However, since publication of the proposed rule in 2001, EPA found that there is a broad consensus in favor of the development of a single national e-manifest system by EPA, rather than assorted de-centralized private systems. Subsequently in May 2004, EPA conducted a stakeholder meeting to collect additional stakeholder views on the future direction of the electronic manifest. Based on public comment on the 2001 proposed electronic standards and stakeholder feedback at the May 2004 meeting, EPA published a Notice of Data Availability (NODA) on 18 April 2006 announcing EPA's preferred approach to develop a centralized Web-based electronic manifest system to be hosted on EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) computer hub. To that end, in Autumn 2006 EPA provided technical assistance to the US Senate for drafting S.3871 which would have authorized the CDX-based solution, as well as authorized EPA to charge and retain user fees to fund a "share-in-revenue" contracting approach to build and operate the system. EPA's ability to publish a final rule in 2008 that will recognize this system as a compliant voluntary alternative to the current paper manifest form, and to pursue this centralized system design and funding solution, will depend on new funding being authorized (OMB added $4 million to the President's FY 2008 budget request for this system), or on new congressional authority for EPA to collect user fees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Contingency Plan Revisions To Align With the National Response Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this regulation is to revise the National Contingency Plan (NCP) to align it with the National Response Plan (NRP), as required by the Department of Homeland Security. The purpose of the NCP is to provide the organizational structure and procedures for preparing for and responding to discharges of oil and releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants. (see 40 CFR 300.1). The purpose of the NRP is to provide a common organizational structure and procedures for Federal departments and agencies to provide emergency and disaster assistance to State, tribal, and local governments for incidents of national significance. The NRP was developed by the Department of Homeland Security, in close consultation with Federal (including EPA), State, tribal, local governments, first responder organizations, private sector preparedness and relief groups. Alignment of the NCP with the NRP will facilitate smooth integration of emergency response activities under the NCP with the NRP when both plans are activated. The NRP does not alter the existing authorities of Federal departments and agencies, but rather, establishes the coordinating structures, processes, and protocols required to integrate the authorities of various agencies into an all-hazard approach to incident management. EPA is making another minor revision to the NCP. The descriptions of Federal agency capabilities are being updated, and modifications are being made, where appropriate to reflect the new Department of Homeland Security organization.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This supplemental proposal will address reporting thresholds for rock salt, sand, gravel and other chemicals that pose minimal risk. The proposed rule was published on June 8, 1998 (63 FR 31268). 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>Cooperative Agreements and Superfund State Contracts for Superfund Response Actions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[40 CFR part 35 subpart O prescribes requirements for administering cooperative agreements (CAs) awarded to States, Indian tribes, and political subdivisions to conduct remedial actions, non-time-critical removal actions, pre-remedial activities, and other response activities authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 104(a)-(j). In addition, subpart O prescribes requirements for the Superfund State Contract that is necessary whenever EPA or a political subdivision is the lead agency for a CERCLA remedial action. Subpart O was promulgated on June 5, 1990, and became effective on July 5, 1990. Since then, the Superfund program has demonstrated several process improvements that are not authorized under the current regulation. For example, the 16 Block Funding Reform pilots established during 1997 to 2000 generated at least 60 approved requests for deviations from subpart O and 40 CFR part 31. The revisions to subpart O make it possible to use the process innovations tested in the pilot projects without having to obtain deviations. The revisions are also expected to update cross-references to other regulations that have changed, and eliminate references to obsolete forms and regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Action on Petition To List Diesel Exhaust as a Hazardous Air Pollutant</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA received a petition from Environmental Defense to list diesel exhaust as a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP). Diesel exhaust is a mixture of numerous chemicals, and its composition can vary between engines and under different operating conditions. There are several issues to be considered: (1) Adding an emission mixture such as diesel exhaust to the list of hazardous air pollutants appears to be contrary to Congress intent that EPA list individual substances rather than mixtures; (2) adding diesel exhaust to the list of hazardous air pollutants would have little practical impact on public health or the environment because EPA is already addressing emissions from diesel engines through a number of voluntary and regulatory programs, and (3) adding diesel exhaust to the list of HAP would not likely impact the level of control achieved in these programs.

EPA is in the process of developing an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ANPRM in order to request comments from the public on approaches to address exhaust emissions from existing stationary diesel engines. We are still discussing with the litigants the scope of the ANPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 5, 1978 the EPA promulgated primary and secondary NAAQS for lead under section 109 of the Act (43 FR 46258). Both primary and secondary standards were set at a level of 1.5 µg/m3 as a quarterly average (maximum arithmetic mean averaged over a calendar quarter). Subsequent to this initial standard-setting, the Clean Air Act requires that the standard be reviewed periodically. The last such review occurred during the period 1986-1990. For that review, an Air Quality Criteria Document (AQCD) was completed in 1986 with a supplement in 1990. Based on information contained in the AQCD, an EPA Staff Paper and Exposure Assessment were prepared. Following the completion of these documents, the agency did not propose any revisions to the 1978 Pb NAAQS. The current review of the Pb air-quality criteria was initiated in November 2004 by EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) with a general call for information published in the Federal Register. In January 2005, NCEA released a work plan for the review and revision of the Pb AQCD. Workshops were held to provide author feedback on a developing draft of the AQCD in August 2005. The draft AQCD was released December 1, 2005. The EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards prepared a draft Staff Paper for the Administrator, which included an initial evaluation of the key studies and scientific information contained in the AQCD and additional preliminary technical analyses. The AQCD and draft Staff Paper were reviewed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) and the public. An ANPRM will be published outlining the results of the final risk assessment and giving consideration to the policy assessment. As the lead NAAQS review is completed, the Administrator's proposal to reaffirm or revise the lead 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>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Reserving Pre-2005 Stocks of Methyl Bromide for Critical Use Growers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is concerned with the environmental impacts that could result from the need to manufacture additional methyl bromide to serve the needs of approved critical users where part of their overall need could be served by drawing from the inventory of methyl bromide produced prior to January 1, 2005. Therefore, EPA intends to issue an advance notice considering the need to propose a regulation restricting access to pre-2005 inventory only to meet the needs of the approved critical users, recognizing that such a restriction would not replace in whole or in part, the critical use nomination process. This restriction would ensure that those uses of methyl bromide that do not seek and receive a critical use nomination could not access pre-phaseout inventory.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Emissions From New Marine Compression-Ignition Engines At or Above 30 Liters per Cylinder</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Emissions from Category 3 marine engines (greater than 30 liters per cyclinder) contribute significantly to unhealthful levels of ambient particulate matter and ozone in many parts of the United States. These engines are highly mobile and are not easily controlled at a State or local level. EPA currently regulates marine diesel engines on ships flagged in the United States. This rulemaking will consider new standards for oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter. Technologies under consideration include aftertreatment devices and the use of distillate or low sulfur fuel. This rule will consider whether it is appropriate to apply these standards to foreign flagged vessels that use U.S. ports.]]></ABSTRACT>

The required review cycle varies depending on the applicable section of the CAA. The NSPS written to comply with section 111 of the CAA should be reviewed every 8 years. The review time frame for NSPS written to comply with section 129 of the CAA should be reviewed every 5 years. This strategy outlines EPAs proposed procedure for fulfilling our statutory obligation to review and, if appropriate, revise the NSPS.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for the Disposal of Low-Activity Mixed Radioactive Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 was issued to solicit early public input on this issue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Change to Dose Methodology</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 #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 #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>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. This proposed action will not impact small businesses, or State, local, or tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Specifications for Continuous Parameter Monitoring Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The PS-17 and QA Procedure 4 would apply to continuous parameter monitoring systems (CPMS) that are required under an applicable subpart to parts 60, 61, or 63. Therefore, this rulemaking would not require the installation or operation of additional CPMS. The specific types of CPMS covered by the proposed PS-17 and QA Procedure 4 are those that are used to measure and record temperature, pressure, liquid flow rate, gas flow rate, mass flow rate, pH, or conductivity on a continuous basis. The proposed PS-17 establishes procedures and other requirements that will help to ensure that CPMS are properly selected, installed, and placed into operation. The proposed QA Procedure 4 specifies procedures that will help to ensure that CPMS provide quality data on an ongoing basis. The proposed amendments to QA Procedure 1, of 40 CFR 60, appendix F, add provisions to address CEMS that are used to monitor multiple pollutants and are subject to PS-9 or PS-15. The amendments to 40 CFR 63, subpart A, ensure consistency among the proposed PS-17, QA Procedure 4, and the General Provisions to part 63. The amendments to  section 63.996(c) of 40 CFR 63, subpart SS, ensure consistency among PS-17, QA Procedure 4, and the monitoring requirements of subpart SS.]]></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. Introduction of statistical quality control for all methods should improve measurement precision and accuracy in actual practice across all methods.]]></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 provided in the CAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Amendments to the Section 608 Leak Repair Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will propose changes and amendments to the refrigerant leak repair regulations (40 CFR 82, subpart F) promulgated under section 608 of the Clean Air Act. The goal of the regulations is to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by promulgating regulations that reduce the use and emissions of ozone-depleting refrigerants to the lowest achievable level. This proposal will clarify the leak repair regulations by requiring that owners and operators of comfort cooling, commercial refrigeration, and industrial process refrigeration appliances that have ozone-depleting charges greater than 50 pounds, calculate leak rates, verify all repairs, and document repair efforts. This rulemaking will provide further clarity by adding definitions and discussing compliance scenarios.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Area Source Standards--Clay Ceramics Manufacturing, Glass Manufacturing, and Secondary Nonferrous Metals Processing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Clay Ceramics Manufacturing: There are 51 existing area sources in this source category. There are two types of affected facilities: kilns and glaze spray booths. The proposed standards are equipment standards. There are currently no particulate matter (PM) emission controls on kilns at any facility. The proposed standards would require that the kiln be operated below the peak temperature where metals would volatilize. Also, natural gas or other clean fuels are required to be used. For glaze spray booths, there are different requirements depending on the size of the facility. The larger facilities would be required to have air pollution controls or use low hazardous air pollutants (HAP) metal glazes. The smaller facilities have the option of operating under the requirements for large facilities or may use waste minimization practices. For monitoring, daily checks of the kiln operating temperature and weekly visual checks of air pollution control equipment for the glaze spray booths would be required. Glaze spray booths that are controlled with scrubbers would be required to conduct weekly inspections. Glaze spray booths that are controlled by baghouses would be required to conduct either weekly inspections or daily visible emission tests. 

Glass Manufacturing: There are 21 existing facilities that would be subject to the proposed standards, and 6 of these would have to install controls to meet the existing source emission limits. We are proposing two subcategories of glass manufacturing furnaces: One for existing furnaces processing glass raw materials, including lead or arsenic, and one for existing furnaces processing any of the other metal HAP (cadmium, chromium, manganese, and nickel). Furnaces processing lead or arsenic would be subject to an emission limit of 0.2 lb PM/ton of glass produced. Furnaces melting glass with any of the remaining metals would be required to meet the emission limit of 1.0 lb PM/ton of glass produced from the furnace. Furnaces processing lead or arsenic, even in combination with any of the other metal HAP, would be subject to the tighter emission limit. New glass furnaces processing any of the six urban HAP metals would be required to meet the 0.2 lb PM/ton emission limit. Existing sources would be required to monitor control equipment operating parameters every 8 hours and conduct annual control equipment inspections. These requirements are consistent with current industry practice. New sources would be required to use continuous parameter monitoring systems in the control device. 

Secondary Nonferrous Metals Processing: There are ten existing area sources for the processing of secondary nonferrous metals. All secondary nonferrous metal processing operations are currently controlled by a baghouse. Each baghouse at these facilities is designed to achieve the best emission reduction possible where the range is between 99-99.7 percent reduction in PM. Under the proposed rule, existing sources would be required to have a baghouse that achieves at least 99 percent reduction of PM as a surrogate for metal HAP. New sources would be required to achieve 99.5 percent reduction of PM from their furnaces using a baghouse. Weekly visual emission tests and equipment inspections would be required for monitoring at existing sources. For new sources, bag leak detection systems and weekly equipment inspections would be required for monitoring secondary nonferrous metals processing sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Area Source National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Iron and Steel Foundries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) outlines the statutory requirements for the EPA's stationary source air toxics program. Section 112(k) requires the development of standards for area sources which account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 33 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. These area source standards can require control levels which are equivalent to either maximum achievable control technology (MACT) or generally available control technology (GACT), as defined in section 112. Both iron foundries and steel foundries were listed as high priority source categories via a toxicity-weighting analysis. Extensive data gathering and analyses were performed during the development of MACT standards for major iron and steel foundries in 1998. Although primarily a 1998 snapshot of the industry, this database was continually updated with new information regarding plant closures and new control equipment installation throughout the major source rule development. Consequently, this database includes the most recent data for substantial number of area source foundries, and forms the foundation of the environmental and economic impact analysis for area source iron and steel foundries. We intend to apply GACT as control options for regulated emission sources. Several HAPs have been identified that may be present in air emissions in significant enough quantities to be of concern. The metal HAPs emitted from melting furnaces include cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, and nickel. Aromatic organic HAPs produced by mold- and core-making lines, melting furnaces, and pouring, cooling and shakeout (PCS) lines contain acetophenone, benzene, cumene, dibenzofurans, dioxins, naphthalene, phenol, pyrene, toluene, and xylene. The nonaromatic organic HAPs emitted are formaldehyde, methanol, and triethylamine. There are approximately 240 area source iron foundries in the U.S., with about 70 percent being small businesses. We estimate that 60 percent of the area source iron foundries have production under 10,000 tons per year. There are approximately 190 area source steel foundries in the U.S., with about 70 percent being small businesses. We estimate that 80 percent of the area source steel foundries have production under 10,000 tons per year. Approximately 75 percent of the iron foundries are located in the urbanized areas or urban clusters; approximately 80 percent of the steel foundries are located in the urbanized areas or urban clusters. A preliminary analytical blue print was prepared in July 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Area Source Standards--Plating and Polishing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) outlines the statutory requirements for the EPA's stationary source air toxics program. Section 112(k) requires the development of standards for area sources which account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 33 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. These area source standards can require control levels which are equivalent to either maximum achievable control technology (MACT) or generally available control technology (GACT), as defined in section 112. The Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy lists plating and polishing as an area source category.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flexible Air Permit Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This package revises our regulations governing State and Federal operating permit programs required by title V of the Act and the NSR programs required by parts C and D of title I of the Act. These proposed actions are based, in large part, on the lessons learned through EPAs pilot experience in which EPA worked closely with States and sources to develop flexible air permitting approaches that provide greater operational flexibility and, at the same time, ensure environmental protection and compliance with applicable laws. In our pilot permits, increased flexibility is primarily achieved through advance approvals under NSR and alternative operating scenarios (AOSs). The proposed revisions clarify how this can often be done in the existing regulatory framework of the operating permit programs. The proposed revisions also add major NSR requirements for Green Groups, which allow future changes to occur within a group of emissions activities, provided that they are ducted to a common air pollution control device which is determined to meet best available control technology (BACT) or lowest achievable emission rate (LAER), as applicable and that they are determined to comply with all relevant ambient requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Modifications to the Technician Certification Requirements Under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is amending appendix D to subpart F of 40 CFR part 82--Standards for Becoming a Certifying Program for Technicians. The Refrigerant Recycling Regulations governing standards for certifying programs for technicians were promulgated under section 608 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (May 1994; 59 FR 28660). These regulations were amended in November 9, 1994 (59 FR 559120), to clarify the scope of the technician certification requirements and to provide a limited exemption from certification requirements for apprentices. Today's amendment to the regulation will provide specific requirements for programs applying to become certifying organizations, will specify reporting and recordkeeping requirements in order to enhance implementation of the program, and will define other administrative components of the program to improve accountability.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project is part of a four-pronged approach to improve emissions monitoring in air regulations. The purpose of this project is to identify and update existing regulations with poor or no emissions monitoring provisions. More specifically, this purpose of this project is to review parts 60, 61, and 63 regulations where the emissions monitoring provisions are deemed inadequate to provide a reasonable assurance of compliance. An ANPR was published asking for comments on updating existing regulations with poor or no emissions monitoring provisions. A response to comments document has been prepared. In addition, a database including the initial review of the emissions monitoring provisions' inadequacies of parts 60, 61, and 63 rules has been completed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP for Stainless and Nonstainless Steel Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Manufacturing--Area Source</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[There are approximately 93 small steel mills (minimills) that melt steel scrap in 142 electric arc furnaces (EAF). Minimills account for roughly half of US steel production (~50 million tons per year). The scrap charged to the furnace is the source of HAP emissions. A major source of scrap is recycled automobiles, which may contain mercury switches, lead components, oil, grease, plastics, and other materials that can contribute to HAP emissions. Pollutants of interest for the EAF NESHAP are manganese, lead, chromium, nickel, and mercury.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will control emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from surface coating operations performed on-site at installations owned or operated by the Armed Forces of the United States (including the Coast Guard and the National Guard of any such State) or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the surface coating of military munitions manufactured by or for the Armed Forces of the United States (including the Coast Guard and the National Guard of any such State). Aerospace and shipbuilding surface coating operations at these installations were originally covered by the already-promulgated MACT standards for aerospace manufacturing and rework and shipbuilding and ship repair. However, other recently-promulgated surface coating MACT standards were also expected to address other surface coating operations at these installations (e.g., miscellaneous metal parts and products, plastic parts and products, etc.). Following proposal of these standards EPA received comments indicating that a separate standard for defense operations is a better approach. Accordingly, this rulemaking will address all surface coating activities at these installations which do not meet the applicability criteria of either the Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework or Shipbuilding and Ship Repair MACT standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementing Periodic Monitoring in Federal and State Operating Permit Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise the Compliance Assurance Monitoring rule (40 CFR part 64) to be implemented through the operating permits rule (40 CFR parts 70 and 71) to define when periodic monitoring for monitoring stationary source compliance must be created, and to include specific criteria that periodic monitoring must meet. This rule satisfies our 4-step strategy announced in the final Umbrella Monitoring Rule (published January 22, 2004) to address monitoring inadequacies. The four steps were: 1) To clarify the role of title V permits in monitoring [Umbrella Monitoring Rule]; 2) to provide guidance for improved monitoring in PM-Fine SIP's; 3) to take comment on correction of inadequate monitoring provisions in underlying rules; and 4) to provide guidance on periodic monitoring. We have completed the RIA data collection and most of the analyses,and are beginning review with OPEI and an economic sub-work group.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The periodic monitoring rules, 40 CFR 70.6(a)(3)(i)(B) and 71.6(a)(3)(i)(B), require that [w]here the applicable requirement does not require periodic testing or instrumental or noninstrumental monitoring (which may consist of recordkeeping designed to serve as monitoring), [each title V permit must contain] periodic monitoring sufficient to yield reliable data from the relevant time period that are representative of the sources compliance with the permit, as reported pursuant to [§ 70.6(a)(3)(iii) or § 71.6(a)(3)(iii)]. Such monitoring requirements shall assure use of terms, test methods, units, averaging periods, and other statistical conventions consistent with the applicable requirement. Recordkeeping provisions may be sufficient to meet the requirements of [§70.6(a)(3)(i)(B) and §71.6(a)(3)(i)(B)]. Sections 70.6(c)(1) and 71.6(c)(1), called the umbrella monitoring rule, require that each title V permit contain, [c]onsistent with paragraph (a)(3) of this section, compliance certification, testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements sufficient to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit. On January 22, 2004 (69 Federal Register 3202), EPA announced that the Agency has determined that the correct interpretation of §§ 70.6(c)(1) and 71.6(c)(1) is that these sections do not provide a basis for requiring or authorizing review and enhancement of existing monitoring in title V permits independent of any review and enhancement as may be required under the periodic monitoring rules, the CAM rule (40 CFR part 64)(62 FR 54900, October 22, 1997) where it applies, and other applicable requirements under the Act.11 This action is to publish a separate proposed rule to address what monitoring constitutes periodic monitoring under §§ 70.6(a)(3)(i)(B) and 71.6(a)(3)(i)(B) and what types of monitoring should be created under these provisions. The intended effect of the rule revisions in this proposal is to focus case-by-case reviews on those applicable requirements for which we can identify potential gaps in the existing monitoring provisions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 502(b)(2) of the Act requires EPA to promulgate regulations establishing minimum requirements for operating permit programs, including [m]onitoring and reporting requirements. 42 U.S.C. § 7661a(b)(2). Second, section 504(b) authorizes EPA to prescribe procedures and methods for monitoring by rule. 42 U.S.C. § 7661c(b). Section 504(b) provides: The Administrator may by rule prescribe procedures and methods for determining compliance and for monitoring and analysis of pollutants regulated under this Act, but continuous emissions monitoring need not be required if alternative methods are available that provide sufficiently reliable and timely information for determining compliance. . . . Other provisions of title V refer to the monitoring required in individual operating permits. Section 504(c) of the Act, which contains the most detailed statutory language concerning monitoring, requires that [e]ach [title V permit] shall set forth inspection, entry, monitoring, compliance certification, and reporting requirements to assure compliance with the permit terms and conditions. 42 U.S.C. § 7661c(c). Section 504(c) further specifies that [s]uch monitoring and reporting requirements shall conform to any applicable regulation under [section 504(b)]. . . . Section 504(a) more generally requires that [e]ach [title V permit] shall include enforceable emission limitations and standards, . . . and such other conditions as are necessary to assure compliance with applicable requirements of this Act, including the requirements of the applicable implementation plan. 42 U.S.C. § 7661c(a).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Some existing monitoring required under applicable requirements could be improved and will be addressed in connection with both the upcoming PM2.5 implementation rulemaking and by improving monitoring in certain federal rules or monitoring in SIP rules not addressed in connection with the PM2.5 implementation guidance or rulemaking over a longer time frame.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[We are assessing the benefits associated with improved monitoring including the reduction in source owner response time to potential excess emissions problems. Such reduced response time to take corrective action that will be required by the rule will result in measurable emissions reductions that will be balanced against the cost of increased equipment, data collection, and recordkeeping costs. We estimate the total costs of the rule to be more than $100 million.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There are no environmental and health risks associated with implementing this monitoring rule; the underlying rules with emissions limits address those risks for each subject source category. The effect of the monitoring resulting from this rule will be to reduce the occurrence of excess emissions episodes that raise such risks.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations--Area Sources (Includes Autobody, Paint Stripping, and Miscellaneous Coating Plastic Parts)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These standards are being developed under the Clean Air Act, section 112(k). Under section 112(k), EPA developed a national strategy to address air-toxic pollution from "area" sources, which are sources that emit hazardous air pollutants (HAP) below the major source level of 10 tons/year of a single HAP or 25 tons/year of all HAP. As part of that strategy, Autobody Refinishing, Paint Stripping, and Plastic Parts and Products (Surface Coating) source categories were listed for regulation. These standards will establish requirements to control pollution from facilities engaged in autobody refinishing, paint stripping, and surface coating of miscellaneous parts and products comprised of metal and plastic substrates. Facilities in these source categories are known to emit methylene chloride, cadmium compounds, chromium compounds, lead compounds, manganese compounds, and nickel compounds. Previously EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for major sources engaged in refinishing, paint stripping, and surface coating activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Revision to Listing of Carbon Dioxide Total Flooding Fire Extinguishing Systems Restricting Use to Only Unoccupied Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 612 of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to identify alternatives to Class I and II ozone-depleting substances and to publish lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes. Producers of substitutes must notify EPA at least 90 days before alternatives are introduced into interstate commerce. Substitutes which are deemed by EPA to be unacceptable or acceptable subject to use restrictions must go through notice and comment rulemaking. Substitute lists are updated intermittently depending on the volume of notifications. Independent of any petitions or notifications received, EPA may also initiate updates to the substitute lists based on new data on either additional substitutes or on characteristics of substitutes previously reviewed. Based on new information on the continued and growing use of carbon dioxide total flooding fire extinguishing systems, EPA is revising its listing of carbon dioxide as an acceptable total flooding substitute for ozone-depleting halons to acceptable subject to narrowed use limits. Use would be limited to unoccupied areas where personnel could not be exposed to lethal concentration of the agent. Recent changes to national fire protection industry standards reflect need to improve personnel safety requirements for carbon dioxide systems by limiting its applications. Carbon dioxide total flooding fire extinguishing systems are used in some industrial applications such as automobile paint rooms and in marine applications such as machinery spaces. Restricted use limits on carbon dioxide total flooding systems supports the use of substitutes that are not potentially lethal to personnel that could be exposed.]]></ABSTRACT>

Similar concerns resulted in the banning the imports of CFC pre-charged refrigeration products after the 1996 phaseout of production and import of bulk substances. Therefore, EPA intends to propose regulations banning the imports of HCFC pre-charged products under the provisions within title VI of CAAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Definition of Potential to Emit (PTE)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking rule would revise the definition of the term potential to emit (PTE) used in numerous regulations to determine the applicability of major source requirements. The regulatory amendments will address enforceability issues raised in court decisions by the D.C. Circuit regarding the types of limitations allowed to be used in a sources PTE calculations. We plan revisions to the definitions of PTE for three major source Act programs: (1) Major New Source Review (NSR) program, (2) the section 112 program that regulates Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), and (3) the title V Federal operating permits program. We also plan to amend regulations that were not part of the court cases challenging the definition of potential to emit (e.g., visibility rules and Federal operating permits program rules) in order to be consistent with other EPA regulations. In addition to addressing the issue of whether PTE limitations have to be federally enforceable, the revised definition of PTE would set forth the specific criteria a limitation must meet to be effective. Finally, the proposal would clarify that EPA now uses the term federally enforceable to refer only to the ability of the Federal government or citizens to enforce the requirement in federal courts, and not to the effectiveness of PTE limits as well.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The proposed rulemaking responds to three court decisions issued in 1995 and 1996 that remanded EPAs regulatory requirement that PTE limits be federally enforceable. Although the federal enforceability requirement was vacated in the Federal PSD, NSR, and title V rules, the section 112 program rules were not vacated and thus still contain the federal enforceability requirement. In the interim however, until EPA clarifies the issues related to federal enforceability of PTE limits, current EPA policy recognizes State enforceable PTE limits for purposes of avoiding section 112 and Title V requirements in many circumstances. The new regulations would respond to the courts remands in the various cases.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The proposed rule responds to three court orders regarding the federal enforceability component in the definition of potential to emit. See National Mining Association v. EPA (59 F. 3d 1351, D.C. Cir. 1995), Chemical Manufacturers Assn v. EPA, No. 89-1514 (D.C. Cir. Sept. 15, 1995) and Clean Air Implementation Project v. EPA, No. 96-1224 (D.C. Cir. June 28, 1996). In those cases, the court questioned federally enforceability as a necessary criteria for effective PTE limits. The definitions of PTE in the implementing regulations for the major source programs interpret the statutory term potential to emit and provide a legal mechanism for sources that wish to restrain their emissions to avoid triggering major source requirements. Several provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) require that "major" sources be regulated more stringently than sources that are not major. A "major" source generally is defined as one that either "emits or has the potential to emit" air pollutants above a specified amount (referred to as major source thresholds). Until EPA addresses the issues and clarifies the PTE definitions, there will be some uncertainty regarding what is required for enforceability of PTE limits. Parties currently rely on EPA guidance for determining if PTE limits are legally enforceable and effective.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[To address the court decisions EPA must either (i) remove the exclusive federal enforceability requirement or (ii) provide an explanation as to why federal enforceability enhances the effectiveness of PTE limits to such a degree that it is within reason to require federally enforceable limits. In this rulemaking, EPA will consider both options provided by the court and propose our preferred option. The proposal will specifically request comment on our preferred approach as well as any alternative options.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule will not impose additional costs on sources. First, PTE limits are voluntary in that the source chooses to take a PTE limit rather than meet major source requirements. Moreover, currently, sources that wish to take PTE limits must demonstrate that their restrictions are effective according to a number of existing EPA policy documents and applicable regulations, for example under minor new source review regulations and guidance. By codifying the criteria that make PTE limits effective, we will be providing additional certainty and clarity for sources wishing to obtain PTE limits. We expect that clarifying enforceability would yield benefits in terms of improved information about sources emissions and compliance. But because PTE limits generally reduce potential rather than actual emissions and since PTE limits are already in widespread use, we do not expect significant environmental impacts associated with this rule change. These regulations will impose a burden increase initially on those State and local programs that may need to revise or remove PTE definitions in their rules to make them consistent with these amendments as approved in the final rule. Thereafter, we expect a reduction in burden for all programs due to a less burdensome administrative process.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There are no environmental and health risks associated with implementing the proposed amended PTE definition; the underlying rules with emissions limits address those risks for each subject source category.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Semiconductor Manufacturing: Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The promulgated National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Semiconductor Manufacturing included process vent requirements for inorganic HAP streams or inorganic process HAP streams. However, a small minority of process vents in the industry contain emission streams that combine inorganic and organic HAPs. The purpose of this amendment is to add a definition for mixed stream process vents in order to clarify the rule requirements and avoid the confusion caused by the current rule. These amendments will not add additional burden or cost to the rule. Due to the recent Brick MACT Decision, this package was pulled back and we are having conversations with OGC to discuss how to move forward. Because of this decision, adding information into this final would be finalizing something that we did not propose earlier, thus OGC has advised us that we are going to have to repropose instead of going with the final amendments. This amendment affects 1 facility (Kodak) in New York. The original compliance date was May 22, 2006 and the State granted the facility a 1 year extension to May 22, 2007. The facility has contacted the State of New York again and explained the situation with these amendments and they have agreed to give Kodak the necessary time to comply with the amendments once we issue them. The facility has also requested that the State contact the Regional Office (Region 2) to explain the situation to them, so that they are aware and will not enforce any compliance penalties. Thus, we are having to collect additional data from this one facility in order to set an emission limit. We hope to have these amendments ready to send to DC by the end of June, so we will not make the compliance date of May 22, 2007 and the facility is well aware of this.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Risk and Technology Review Phase II Group 2</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under CAA Section 112(d)(6) EPA is required to review MACT standards and revise them "as necessary (taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies)" no less frequently than every 8 years. EPA also must evaluate the MACT standards within 8 years after promulgation and promulgate standards under CAA Section 112(f)(2) if required to protect public health with an ample margin of safety. EPA will combine the remaining MACT source categories requiring residual risk and technology reviews into several groups to enable us to more closely meet statutory dates, raise and resolve programmatic issues in one action, minimize resources by using available data and focusing on high risk sources, and provide consistent review and analysis. We will use available data including emissions from the most recent 2002 national emission inventory (NEI) and augment it with available site-specific data. This action was originally referred to as RTR Phase II and included 34 MACT standards and 50 source categories. We reduced the scope of this action and will now focus on RTR Phase II Group 2 which consists of 11 MACT standards covering 21 source categories with MACT compliance dates of 2002 and earlier. We plan to model each MACT source category to obtain inhalation risks, including cancer risk and incidence, population cancer risk, and non-cancer effects (chronic and acute). We also plan to evaluate multipathway risk associated with those source categories with significant levels of persistent and bioaccumulative HAP. We published an ANPRM in March 2007 to solicit public comments and corrections on emissions data that will be used to assess risk for these source categories. We will remodel the categories based on the updated data. EPA will then evaluate the effectiveness and cost of additional risk reduction options and make acceptability and ample-margin-of-safety determinations in accordance with Benzene NESHAP decision framework. Where the need for additional controls are identified, standards would be developed that include technology, work practice, or performance standards as amendments to the existing MACT standards.
The 11 MACT standards, the 21 source categories, and the associated NAICS codes are listed below.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is based on the Final Report of a Task Force which was formed in May 2004 to review the implementation and performance of the operating permit program under title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments. The report reflects the core issues of concern to all stakeholder groups and their perspectives on how best to address them. The 18 member Task Force was formed by the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee, with representatives from industry, environmental groups, and State and local agencies. This rulemaking address three recommendations from the title V Task Force. The recommendations include clarifying the use of administrative amendments and minor permit modifications, the treatment of insignificant emission units (IEU's), and alternatives to newspaper notices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Revised Definition of Substantially Similar Rule for Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise EPA's gasoline-engine emission regulations to allow the use of the latest version of ASTM technical standards for Alaska. Gasoline-powered engines in Alaska face special challenges. Extremely cold winter temperatures increase the risk that engines using typical gasoline blends will suffer from difficulty in cold starting. To address these unique circumstances, the new ASTM 4814-04 standards for gasoline include special subclasses for gasoline used in extremely cold conditions. The new parameters enhance vehicle cold start and warm-up performance by allowing slightly different volatility characteristics for gasoline. Current EPA regulations only allow the use of the older 1988 version of the ASTM gasoline standards, which do not address Alaskas cold climate. This rulemaking is intended to adopt new specifications by changing the Substantially Similar definition to include the new standards in ASTM 4814-04 for Alaska only. This action is supported by automobile manufacturers and Alaska refiners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Mercury Cell Chlor-Alkali Plants--Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule was promulgated in 2003 in 40 CFR part 63 subpart V (NESHAP) to require MACT for both major and area sources. The pollutant of concern is elemental mercury. At the time of the rule, 12 plants existed in the US. In 2003, NRDC submitted a petition for reconsideration requesting EPA to more accurately quantify the fugitive emissions of mercury from this industry and to set numerical standards, among other items. EPA granted NRDC's petition for reconsideration and, in response to NRDC's concerns, initiated a testing and monitoring study to evaluate and better characterize fugitive emissions from mercury cell chlor-alkali plants. The results of this study will improve EPA's ability to predict mercury emissions from chlor-alkali plants and to evaluate the next steps in the reconsideration. Currently, there are only 8 plants operating in the US, with three plants expecting to close or convert by 2008. The Chlorine Industry, in its 2005 report to the Great Lakes Bi-National Toxic Strategy, reported that only 3 tons of mercury were unaccounted in 2005, significantly lower than the 65 tons reported as unaccounted in the preamble to the MACT rule in 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Quality Index Reporting and Significant Harm Level for PM2.5</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 23, 1999, EPA adopted revisions to the uniform air quality index used by States for daily air quality reporting to the general public in accordance with section 319 of the Clean Air Act (Act). These changes included the addition of the following elements: A new category described as unhealthy for sensitive groups; two new requirements, 1) to report a pollutant-specific sensitive group statement when the index is above 100, 2) to use specific colors if the index is reported in a color format; new breakpoints for the ozone (O3) sub-index in terms of 8-hour average O3 concentrations; a new sub-index for fine particulate matter (PM2.5); and conforming changes to the sub-indices for coarse particulate matter (PM10), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). In addition, EPA changed the name of the index from the Pollutant Standards Index to the Air Quality Index (AQI). The revisions enhance the communication of pollutant-specific health effects information to members of sensitive groups, including precautionary actions that can be taken by individuals to reduce exposures of concern. The revisions also enhance the usefulness of the AQI with regard to other programs that provide air quality information and related health information to the general public, including State and local real-time air quality data mapping and community action programs. 

In 2006, EPA promulgated a revised national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for PM2.5 levels of 35 ug/m3, 24-hour average. The purpose of this rulemaking is to make revisions to the AQI sub-index for PM2.5 to be consistent with the new daily standard. It is important to make this revision expeditiously to allow members of the public, especially members of sensitive groups, to take exposure reduction measures when PM2.5 levels are forecasted to be high. State and local air agencies are encouraging EPA to make the revisions as soon as possible. 

EPA has never set a Significant Harm Level (SHL) for PM2.5. There are SHLs for sulfur dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, PM10 and nitrogen dioxide. Designated areas must have contingency plans in place to prevent ever reaching this level. There is not currently an SHL for PM2.5. The SHL is typically the same concentration as the 500 level of the AQI. So along with revising the AQI for PM2.5, we will also set an SHL for PM2.5.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Ferroalloys Production--Area Source Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section112 (k) of the Clean Air Act requires the development of standards for area sources that account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 33 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. The Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy lists ferroalloys production as an area source category. Pollutants emitted include mostly metallic HAP such as manganese, nickel, chromium compounds, as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) such as benzoanthracene and benzopyrene. Ferroalloys are alloys of iron in which one or more chemical elements are added into molten metal, usually in steelmaking. Worldwide, the principal ferroalloys are those of chromium, manganese, and silicon. Ferroalloys are also made with boron, titanium, cobalt, columbium, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium etc. Although calcium carbide and silicon metal are not ferroalloys, they are included in the proposed ferroalloys source category because each is manufactured using virtually the same equipment and processes as ferroalloys. This source category is currently regulated under both the new source performance standards (NSPS) and the national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for major sources. There are approximately 19 area source facilities in the U.S. An informal information collection request was sent out to the facilities that use electric arc furnaces for production in July 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Portland Cement Notice of Reconsideration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 20, 2006, we published final amendments to the Portland Cement NESHAP. These amendments were in response to a remand by the D.C. Circuit Court of portions of the final rule published in 1999. At the same time as the final amendments were published, we also published a notice of reconsideration of the final new source limits for mercury and total hydrocarbons (a surrogate for non-dioxin organic HAP). We also are reconsidering the ban on the use of certain mercury containing fly ash in both new and existing kilns. We took this action because there are still substantive technical issues and there was not sufficient opportunity for public comment on parts of the final action. In addition to these reconsiderations, we have also agreed to reconsider the decision not to regulate HCl, and the existing source standards for mercury and total hydrocarbons. 

We have stated in the notice that we will complete this reconsideration by December 20, 2007. As part of this effort, we are requesting that four cement facilities that have wet scrubbers for SO2 control perform inlet and outlet testing for speciated mercury emissions and submit the test data to EPA to be used in the reconsideration for the new source mercury standard. Due to the impacts of the decision of the D.C. Circuit Court on the Brick Manufacturing NESHAP, we now anticipate that significant data gathering will also be required for the other items under consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is called Risk and Technology Review (RTR) Group 1. It will address both EPA's obligation to conduct a residual risk review and to conduct a technology review. It includes eight source categories, each affected by one of four MACT standards. The eight source categories are: Polysulfide rubber manufacturing (P&R I MACT); ethylene propylene rubber manufacturing (P&R I MACT); butyl rubber manufacturing (P&R I MACT); neoprene manufacturing (P&R I MACT); epoxy resins manufacturing (P&R II MACT); non-nylon polyamides manufacturing (P&R II MACT); hydrogen fluoride manufacturing (GMACT); and acetal resins manufacturing (GMACT).

EPA is required to evaluate the risk remaining at facilities 8 years after they are required to comply with MACT air-toxic emission standards according to section 112 (f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA is also required to review and revise the MACT standards if needed every 8 years with regard to practices, processes and control technologies according to section 112(d)(6) of the CAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Quality: Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic Compounds--Exclusion of Family of Four Hydrofluoropolyethers (HFPEs) and HFE-347pc-f</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is a deregulatory action to exclude this family of HFPE's and also HFE-347pc-f from the list of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the basis that, as a precursor, these compounds make a negligible contribution to the formation of tropospheric ozone. These compounds have the potential for use as refrigerants because they are not stratospheric ozone depleters. This action will remove the necessity to control these particular HFPE's and HFE-347pc-f as VOCs in State Implementation Plans for attaining the ozone standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reconsideration of Stationary Combustion Turbine NSPS (Subpart KKKK)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is granting reconsideration on several relatively minor issues in the recently finalized stationary combustion turbine NSPS rule, subpart KKKK. The final rule does not require NOx continuous emission monitors (CEMS), but many new turbines will be required to install CEMS due to other regulatory programs. The credible evidence rule requires that units with CEMS demonstrate continuous compliance. Issues under reconsideration include if EPA should add a detailed methology for units with CEMS to determine and report compliance under all situations. EPA will also be proposing to clarify that new, reconstruction, and modification should be determined in a similar manner as the previous stationary combustion turbine NSPS, subpart GG. 

Any changes that result from the reconsideration are not anticipated to result in additional controls being required or an increase in compliance costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration for PM2.5--Increments, Significant Impact Levels, and Significant Monitoring Concentrations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 166 of the Clean Air Act authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency to establish regulations to prevent significant deterioration (PSD) of air quality due to emissions of any pollutant for which a NAAQS has been promulgated. The NAAQS for PM2.5 was promulgated in 1997. On November 1, 2005, EPA proposed regulations for the implementation of the PM2.5 program including the New Source Review (NSR) provisions. In that NPRM, we indicated that we would be proposing a separate rule for developing increments, Significant Impact Levels (SILs) and Significant Monitoring Concentrations (SMCs) to facilitate implementation of a PM2.5 PSD program. Increments are maximum allowable increases in ambient PM2.5 concentrations (PM2.5 increments) allowed in an area above the baseline concentration. SILs are a screening tool used by a major PSD source to determine if it needs to do a comprehensive increments analysis. If a sources impacts of PM2.5 emissions are less than the corresponding SIL, the sources impacts are considered to be de minimis and no further modeling analyses are required. Similarly, SMCs are a screening tool used by a major PSD source to determine if site specific ambient monitoring is necessary.

In this NPRM, we are proposing 3 options each for developing PM2.5 increment, SILs and SMCs. EPAs proposed increment options are the percent of NAAQS option, also known as the safe harbor approach, the Equivalent Increment approach and a variation of the second option that also considers the stringency of PM2.5 NAAQS. For SILs we would be seeking comments on 3 options--percent of increments option, emissions ratio of PM10 option and NAAQS ratio of PM10 option. For SMCs the 3 options would be Emissions Ratio option, NAAQS Ratio option and Lowest Detectable Concentration option.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP--Area Source Standards--Nine Metal Fabrication and Finishing Source Categories (12 SIC&apos;s, 25 NAICS Codes)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) outlines the statutory requirements for the EPA's stationary source air toxics program. Section 112(k) requires the development of standards for area sources which account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 33 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. These area source standards can require control levels equivalent to generally available control technology (GACT). The following nine (9) metal fabrication and finishing area source categories have been identified as contributing to the 33 urban HAP emissions (Cd, Cr, Mn. Ni, Pb): (1) Electrical and Electronic Equipment Finishing Operations (SICs 3699, 3621); (2) Fabricated Metal Products (SIC 3499); (3) Fabricated Plate Work (Boiler Shops) (SIC 3443); (4) Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing (SIC 3441); (5) Heating Equipment, except Electric (SIC 3433); (6) Industrial Machinery and Equipment: Finishing Operations (SICs 3531, 3533, 3561); (7) Iron and Steel Forging (SIC 3462); (8) Primary Metal Products Manufacturing (SIC 3399); (9) Valves and Pipe Fittings (SIC 3494). These nine industry sectors have common and similar processes that can emit air pollutants: Abrasive blasting, welding, painting, plating, and machining/grinding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to extend the global lab and analytical use exemption for production and import of class I ozone depleting substances from December 31, 2007, to December 31, 2009, authorized by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and consistent with the Clean Air Act Amendments. The exemption applies to production and import of ozone-depleting substances for essential laboratory and analytical uses as defined by the Montreal Protocol. The Montreal Protocol has permitted this exemption since 1994. EPA is also proposing to apply the exemption to methyl bromide produced and imported after the January 1, 2005, phaseout date, authorized by the Parties to the Protocol in Decision XVII/15.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of New Source Performance Standards--Portland Cement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) regulate criteria pollutants from new stationary sources. The Portland Cement NSPS were originally promulgated in 1971, and last reviewed in 1988. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act requires that NSPS be reviewed every 8 years, and revised as appropriate, so the review is overdue. The Sierra Club filed a lawsuit to compel us to perform this review. We have agreed to review the NSPS and propose any appropriate changes by May 31, 2008, and to promulgate the final changes by May 31, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 111(b) (1)(B) of the Clean Air Act mandates that EPA review, and if appropriate, revise existing NSPS at least every 8 years. This NSPS was proposed on April 23, 1986, and promulgated on September 28, 1992. There have been no prior reviews of this NSPS. One focus of the review will be the applicability of this NSPS to various industries including the foundry sand reclamation dryers/calciners and coolers. Emission control data for the mineral dryers/calciners that have been subject to this NSPS will be reviewed to determine if the NSPS emission limits are appropriate. Also, applicability determinations will be reviewed to ascertain if changes in the standard are needed. Also input with be obtained from various stakeholders to obtain determine their recommendations on revisions to the standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Notification of Upcoming Revisions to State Implementation Plans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to amend Federal regulations to provide additional options for meeting the requirements, regarding public notice requirements prior to adoption and submission to EPA of State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions. States currently use local newspapers and State registers when announcing revisions to SIPs. EPA is proposing that the use of the Internet as a means of prominent advertisement effectively meets the needs of the public notice announcing the 30 day notification period as required by paragraph 51.102(d)(1). EPA believes that this rule revision will enhance public participation in the rulemaking process and will also help State agencies reduce costs by providing the information through a website. This revision aligns the regulatory requirements with the reality of the way in which States and EPA interact, and with the way information is made available to the public in the current era. 

Under the current requirement, applicable documents are available for public review at specified locations during business hours. Providing the proposed revisions online will provide greater access to the public (24 hours a day and 7 days a week). This revision will not only reduce costs for States but may reduce costs for public participation. Also, making public notices available electronically provides greater opportunity for notice to the public because there are no geographic or time limits (within the 30 day notification period) on where or when notice may be obtained. Use of the Internet as a prominent advertisement media allows advertisement to be accessible 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Use of Internet notice expands the availability of the announcement to a national level. A website can be designed to accept comments, download material, interact with the agency hosting the website and review documents online. EPA believes that Internet notice is, and is likely to remain the most effective means for making available public notice and documents, and encourages States to adopt it as the primary mode of notice provision, supplementing it with newspaper and State register notice where appropriate.

The regulation as previously written does not define prominent advertisement and in the past the majority of States advertised in local newspapers and some advertised in a State register. This, however, had limitations since local newspapers charged for each time an advertisement/ announcement appeared in the paper. Should a person miss the advertisement(s), they might not become aware of the proposed SIP revision. EPA believes that with today's wide scope of Internet coverage available to the public, this rule revision will enhance public participation in the rulemaking process. EPA believes that the revision will also help State agencies reduce costs. States may use the Internet, State register, local newspaper, or any combination of these media sources to make the announcement required by Section 51.102(d), although use of the Internet should be the preferred mode. When a State utilizes the Internet as a means of "prominent advertisement," then the State must establish a website that is dedicated to the announcement of revisions to its SIPs, and give the public notice of that website. The public must be able to access this website and all of its contents without being required to disclose personal information (e.g., name, address, phone number). This accessibility requirement notwithstanding, the State may collect such personal information as is necessary to create, effect, and maintain a voluntary mailing list for the sole purpose of notifying persons who ask to receive automatic notice of the posting of revisions to the SIP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Measurement of PM 2.5 and PM 10 Emissions by Dilution Sampling</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation describes the performance specifications and procedures for the measurement of particulate matter with an aerodynamic size cut of both 10 microns and 2.5 microns using a dilution air technique to cause the formation of condensable particulate matter. States which are in non-attainment to the national ambient air quality standards may need to test with this method to determine what contribution specific sources cause to the particulate matter burden. The use of dilution sampling was recommended by EPAs Science Advisory Board. They believe that the dilution process simulates the formation process that occurs in for particles in the ambient air. A cyclonic separator is used to separate the particulate matter into size cuts at 10 and 2.5 microns. The sample gas is then diluted and the condensable particles are formed and removed by filtration. These procedures are somewhat more complicated and costly but provide lower potential for artifact formation. Testing will be performed by the large sources electric utilities, municipal incinerators, cement manufacturing etc in areas which do not meet the ambient air standards of the national ambient air quality standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will implement the President's recent Executive Order to address greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles. This regulatory effort will evaluate reductions in gas consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles, using as a starting point the President's proposal to reduce gasoline consumption by up to 20% over the next 10 years. By increasing the supply of alternative fuels and making motor vehicles more energy efficient, this effort will serve to establish rules giving effect to the President's proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[On May 14, 2007 President Bush signed an Executive Order requiring Federal agencies to take the first steps toward regulations to control greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from motor vehicles and their fuels. The President also directed agencies to take steps to cut gasoline consumption and GHG from motor vehicles using his "Twenty in Ten" plan as a starting point. This plan would achieve reductions in U.S. gasoline consumption of up to 20 percent over the next 10 years. Up to a fifteen-percent reduction in petroleum-based consumption would come through the use of renewable and alternative fuels, and up to a five-percent reduction would come from increased fuel efficiency for cars and trucks. The President directed EPA, DOT, DOE, and USDA to complete this process by the end of 2008. Based on this directive, we have established a schedule to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking by the end of 2007 and a final rule by the end of October 2008.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[On April 2, 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that the EPA must determine, under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, whether greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from new motor vehicles cause or contribute to air pollution that endangers public health or welfare. Based on that Supreme Court ruling, GHG are air pollutants under the Clean Air Act. EPA expects to address whether GHG from new motor vehicles meet the endangerment criteria in the process of proposing regulations to control GHG from new motor vehicles and their fuels. EPA is following the directions of the Presidential Executive Order in proposing such standards.

The primary authority to regulate motor vehicles to reduce their emissions falls under Section 202(a) (1) of the Clean Air Act. This provision requires that the Administrator shall by regulation prescribe standards applicable to the emission of any air pollutant from any class or classes of new motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines which in his judgment cause or contribute to air pollution and which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.  A regulatory action depends on an Administrator determination that the GHG emissions from new motor vehicles causes, or contributes to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger the public health or welfare. 

In setting fuel standards, two sections of the Clean Air Act are being considered. The primary authority for regulating motor vehicle fuels and fuel additives falls under Section 211(c) where the Administrator may, on the basis of information available to him, by regulation, control or prohibit the manufacture, introduction into commerce, offering for sale, or sale of any fuel or fuel additive for use in a motor vehicle, motor vehicle engine, or nonroad engine or nonroad vehicle where a similar endangerment finding is made. This section provides authority to address all fuels and additives, including renewable and alternative fuels. Further, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005, Public Law 109-58) amended the Clean Air Act by adding section Section 211(o) which requires EPA to set minimum volume standards for renewable fuel use. EPAct 2005 established the volumes of renewable fuel to be used through 2012, and established a minimum level to be used after that date which EPA can adjust upward based on consideration of certain factors. EPA is considering an integrated compliance approach that will use both 211(c) and 211(o) authorities for the fuel-related provisions of the proposed GHG rule.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action adds new procedures to two methods required in State Implementation Plans to measure fine PM or PM2.5 with condensable emissions. Method 201a is amended to add procedures and equipment specifications for use of 2.5 micron size cut cyclone which may be used in conjunction with the current 10 micron size cut cyclone or alone if only PM2.5 is to be measured. 

Method 202 is amended to add procedures and equipment specifications to be followed when the measurement of fine PM which includes condensable emissions is required. These amendments improve the accuracy and precision of current version of Method 202.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The amendments will address minor issues that have recently come to the Agency's attention and clarify the regulatory text to be consistent with the intent (as described in the response to comments document) of the final action of the "Reconsideration of New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Electric Utility, Industrial, Commercial, and Institution Steam Generating Units" that was signed on 13 June 2007. Amendments include clarifying that both utility and industrial steam generating units buring low sulfur oil are exempt from continuously monitoring opacity, adding monitoring requirements for subpart D units complying with the optional 30 day SO2 standard, clarifying control device monitoring requirements for new utility units that do not install PM CEMS, and clarifying requirements for industrial sources buring coke oven gas. The amendments will not amend any emission standards and will not change the cost of the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Plan Requirements for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed On or Before September 20, 1994</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act, EPA is directed to address air emissions from existing municipal waste combustors (MWC) by developing emission guidelines, which States are required to follow. The Clean Air Act also requires EPA to develop companion Federal regulations that must be imposed in cases where States do not follow the Federal guidelines. The emission guidelines and the companion Federal regulations are intended to be substantively identical. On December 19, 1995, EPA adopted emission guidelines to address air emissions from large MWC (60 CFR subpart Eb). On November 12, 1998, EPA adopted companion Federal regulations (63 FR 63191). Last year, EPA revised the emission guidelines (May 10, 2006, 71 FR 27323). This rulemaking would revise the Federal regulations to make conforming changes that mirror those made to the emission guidelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pulp and Paper Sector Model Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2004 National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report recommended that EPA begin conducting integrated assessments that consider multiple pollutants (ozone and PM2.5 precursors, hazardous air pollutants, and other chemicals that may be of concern) and multiple effects (health, ecosystem, visibility) to set standards and develop planning and control strategies. In response to this recommendation, EPAs Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) identified the pulp and paper sector as the candidate industry for its first multi-pollutant, sector- based strategy pilot because of the sectors potential for both SO2 and NOx emissions reductions, the sectors regulatory and compliance complexities and related timing, and the sectors interest in participating in such an approach. 

The pulp and paper sector strategy approach will include developing guidance in the form of a model rule for States to consider adopting. If a State adopts the rule, facilities would have the option of voluntarily opting in with binding commitments for a specified time period. The program would have a clause that would allow the rule to be reviewed and reopened in light of circumstances that could not be ignored (i.e., reauthorization of the Clean Air Act). The framework would focus on larger SO2 emissions reductions from bigger facilities in problem areas and would also reflect possible emissions reduction requirements, baselines and source monitoring requirements. Facilities opting into the program would be afforded some regulatory flexibilities and a period of regulatory certainty.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adoption of International NOx Standard for Aircraft Engines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the existing United States regulations governing the exhaust emissions from new commercial aircraft gas turbine engines. This action would adopt standards equivalent to the NOx standards of the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and thereby bring the United States emission standards into alignment with the internationally adopted standards. These NOx standards were adopted by ICAO in 2005, and the implementation of the standards is to begin in January 2008. The proposed rule would establish consistency between United States and international requirements. This action is necessary to ensure that domestic commercial aircraft meet the current international standards, and thus, the public can be assured they are receiving the air quality benefits of the international standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NSPS: SOCMI--Wastewater Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These standards are based on a combination of control techniques that require removal or destruction of volatile organic compounds from wastewater at synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry plants. Designated chemical process units, i.e., process lines or process units, would be subject to the rule. Constructed, reconstructed, or modified designated chemical process units would be required to apply appropriate controls to affected wastewater tanks, surface impoundments, containers, individual drain systems, and oil and water separators, and to treat process wastewater to remove or destroy the volatile organic compounds. On September 12, 1994, EPA proposed Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Wastewater (40 CFR part 60, subpart YYY). On October 11, 1995, the EPA issued a supplemental proposal, which clarified and revised the previously proposed rule. On December 9, 1998, EPA published a supplement to the proposed rule that consisted of revised definitions, alternative test procedures, and clarifications of requirements, and that proposed to add appendix J to 40 CFR part 60. In conjunction with the rule development for the NSPS, amendments to appendix C to part 63 were proposed on June 30, 2004.

        <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 minor stationary sources throughout Indian Country and major stationary sources of air pollution in nonattainment areas in Indian country. The proposed Federal NSR rules 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, (3) new major sources in nonattainment areas in Indian country, (4) existing major sources in nonattainment areas in Indian country undergoing minor modification, or (5) existing major sources in nonattainment areas in Indian Country undergoing major modification. The proposed rule would also allow new or existing stationary sources of regulated NSR pollutants and HAPs 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 permits program. Pursuant to the Tribal Air Rule, eligible Indian tribes may receive EPA authorization to develop and implement such programs, but these permitting programs would be implemented by EPA if eligible Indian tribes do not elect or do not receive authorization to manage such programs. 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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would list whether n-propylbromide (nPB) is an acceptable substitute for class I and class II ozone depleting substances used in aerosol solvent and adhesives end uses. This could provide another alternative to solvents with higher ozone depletion potential that industry is interested in using. Provisions in this rule could include specific conditions on the use of nPB as a solvent, such as limiting the specific applications in which it may be used to those with low emissions and requiring exposure limits consistent with industry practices. Any conditions would be for the purpose of ensuring that nPB is used in a manner that is safe and environmentally protective. OSHA does not currently regulate nPB. If EPA establishes any use conditions in a final rule, we would revise our ruling to adopt whatever OSHA requires if OSHA later regulates the use of nPB.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: General Provisions; Amendments for Pollution Prevention Alternative Compliance Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending the part 63 General Provisions to allow facilities that are subject to a maximum achievable control technology (MACT) 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. The amendments would also allow a source to avoid MACT by completely eliminating HAP emissions. We are promulgating 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

This exclusion of oxygenate is already allowed for a refinery's gasoline to which oxygenate was added outside of the refinery gate.

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR):  Debottlenecking, Aggregation and Project Netting</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project will revise rules governing the major new source review (NSR) programs mandated by parts C and D of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The new regulations will clarify and codify our policy of when multiple activities at a single major stationary source must be considered together for the purposes of determining major NSR applicability ("aggregation"). Also, we are changing the way emissions from permitted emissions units upstream or downstream from those undergoing a physical change or change in the method of operation are considered when determining if a proposed project will result in a significant emissions increase ("debottlenecking"). Finally, we are clarifying how emissions decreases from a project may be included in the calculation to determine if a significant emissions increase will result from a project ("project netting"). When final, these rules will improve implementation of the program by articulating and codifying principles for determining major NSR applicability that we currently address through guidance only. These rule changes reflect the EPA's consideration of the EPAs 2002 Report to the President and its associated recommendations as well as discussions with various stakeholders including representatives of environmental groups, State and local governments, and industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend existing regulations controlling emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAP) under the Clean Air Act. These regulations are codified at 40 CFR part 60, 61, 63, and 65. These regulations require periodic leak detection and repair (LDAR) of pumps, valves, and connectors. The current work practice requires each pump, valve, and connector to be individually monitored for leaks. Facilities have had LDAR programs in place for over 20 years and view them as burdensome because they are labor intensive. Newer image 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 to enable the plant operators to use the new technology.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Emissions from New Locomotives and New Marine Diesel Engines Less Than 30 Liters per Cylinder</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Locomotives and marine diesel engines are important contributors to our nations air pollution today accounting for about 20 percent of mobile source nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and about 25 percent of mobile source fine diesel particulate matter (PM 2.5) emissions. EPA is proposing a comprehensive program to significantly reduce emissions from locomotives and marine diesel engines. It would apply new exhaust emission standards and idle reduction requirements to diesel locomotives of all types--line-haul, switch, and passenger. It would also set new exhaust emission standards for all types of marine diesel engines below 30 liters per cylinder displacement. These include marine propulsion engines used on vessels from recreational and small fishing boats to super-yachts, tugs and Great Lakes freighters, and marine auxiliary engines ranging from small gensets to large generators on ocean-going vessels. We estimate PM reductions of 90 percent and NOx reductions of 80 percent from engines meeting these standards, compared to engines meeting the current standards. EPA has already taken steps to bring emissions levels from light-duty and heavy-duty highway, and nonroad diesel vehicles and engines to very low levels over the next decade, while the emission levels for locomotive and marine diesel engines remain at much higher levels--comparable to the emissions for highway trucks in the early 1990s. The additional PM2.5 and NOx emission reductions resulting from the proposed standards would assist states in attaining and maintaining the Ozone and the PM2.5 National Air Quality Standards both near term and in the decades to come. The proposed program includes a set of near-term emission standards for newly-built engines. These would phase in starting in 2009. The near-term program also contains more stringent emissions standards for existing locomotives. These would apply when the locomotive is remanufactured and would take effect as soon as certified remanufacture systems are available (as early as 2008), but no later than 2010 (2013 for Tier 2 locomotives). We are requesting comment on an alternative under consideration that would apply a similar remanufacture requirement to existing marine diesel engines installed in vessels currently in the fleet. We are also proposing long-term emissions standards for newly-built locomotives and marine diesel engines based on the application of high-efficiency catalytic aftertreatment technology. These standards would phase in beginning in 2015 for locomotives and 2014 for marine diesel engines. Finally, are proposing revised testing, certification, and compliance provisions to better ensure emissions control in use. Entities potentially regulated by this action are those which manufacture, remanufacture and/or import locomotives and/or locomotive engines; and those which own and operate locomotives. This proposed action would also affect companies and persons that manufacture, sell, or import into the United States new marine compression-ignition engines, companies and persons that rebuild or maintain these engines, companies and persons that make vessels that use such engines, and the owners/operators of such vessels.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Locomotive and marine diesel engines generate significant emissions of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) that contribute to nonattainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM2.5 and ozone. NOx is a key precursor to ozone and secondary PM formation. These engines also emit hazardous air pollutants or air toxics, which are associated with serious adverse health effects. Emissions from locomotive and marine diesel engines also cause harm to public welfare, including contributing to visibility impairment and other harmful environmental impacts across the US. (The health and welfare impacts of these pollutants are described elsewhere in this Regulatory Agenda.) Emissions from locomotive and marine diesel engines account for substantial portions of the country's ambient PM2.5 and NOx levels. Today these engines account for about 20 percent of mobile source NOx emissions and about 25 percent of mobile source diesel PM 2.5 emissions. Under the standards EPA has proposed, by 2030 annual NOx emissions from these diesel engines would be reduced by 765,000 tons and PM2.5 emissions by 28,000 tons, and those reductions would continue to grow beyond 2030 as the fleet turnover to the clean engines is completed. State and local governments are working to protect the health of their citizens and comply with requirements of the Clean Air Act. As part of this effort they recognize the need to secure additional major reductions in both diesel PM2.5 and NOx emissions by undertaking numerous state level actions, while also seeking Agency action, including the setting of stringent new locomotive and marine diesel engine standards. The emission reductions in this proposal will play a critical part in state efforts to attain and maintain the National Air Quality Standards both near term and through the next two decades.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Authority for the actions in this proposed rule is granted to the Environmental Protections Agency (EPA) by sections 114, 203, 205, 206, 207, 208, 213, 216, and 301(a) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990. EPA is proposing emissions standards for new marine diesel engines pursuant to its authority under section 213(a)(3) and (4) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and for new locomotives and new engines used in locomotives pursuant to its authority under section 213(a)(5) of the CAA. CAA section 213(a)(3) directs the Administrator to set NOx, VOCs, or carbon monoxide standards for classes or categories of engines that contribute to ozone or carbon monoxide concentrations in more than one nonattainment area, such as marine diesel engines. CAA section 213(a)(4), authorizes the Administrator to establish standards to control emissions of pollutants which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare, where the Administrator determines, as it has done for emissions of PM, that nonroad engines as a whole contribute significantly to such air pollution. Finally, section 213(a)(5) directs EPA to adopt emission standards for new locomotives and new engines used in locomotives that achieve the greatest degree of emissions reductions achievable through the use of technology that the Administrator determines will be available for such vehicles and engines, taking into account the cost of applying such technology within the available time period, the noise, energy, and safety factors associated with the applications of such technology.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We have developed emission inventory impacts, cost estimates and benefit estimates for two types of alternatives. The first type looks at the impacts of varying the timing and scope of our proposed standards. The second considers a programmatic alternative that would set emission standards for existing marine diesel engines. Alternative 1 examines the potential impacts of the locomotive remanufacturing program by excluding it from the analysis. Alternative 2 considers the possibility of pulling ahead the Tier 4 standards by one year for both the locomotive and marine programs, while leaving the rest of the proposed program unchanged. This alternative represents a more environmentally protective set of standards. However, our review of the technical challenges to introduce the Tier 4 program, especially considering the locomotive remanufacturing program and the Tier 3 standards which go before it, leads us to conclude that introducing Tier 4 a year earlier is not feasible. Alternative 3 most closely reflects the program we described in our Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, whereby we would set new aftertreatment based emission standards as soon as possible. In this case, alternative 3 eliminates our proposed Tier 3 standards and locomotive remanufacturing standards, while pulling the Tier 4 standards ahead to 2013 (3 months after the introduction of 15 ppm ULSD). As with alternative 2, we are concerned that it may not be feasible to introduce Tier 4 technologies on locomotive and marine diesel engines earlier than the proposal specifies. Alternative 4 would eliminate the Tier 4 standards and retain the Tier 3 and locomotive remanufacturing requirements. This alternative allows us to consider the value of combining the Tier 3 and locomotive remanufacturing standards together as one program, and conversely, allows us to see the additional benefits gained when combining them with the Tier 4 standards. This alternative falls well short of the total benefits that our comprehensive program is expected to realize. Alternative 5 would establish a two-part marine engines remanufacturing program to reduce emissions from marine diesel engines above 800hp installed on commercial vessels. These engines remain in the fleet in excess of 20 years and can substantially contribute to air pollution. In part one, beginning as early as 2008, vessel owners and rebuilders (also called remanufacturers) would be required to use a certified kit when the engine is rebuilt (or remanufactured) if such a kit is available. In the second part, which could begin in 2013, the marine diesel engine identified by the EPA as a high-sales volume engine model would have to meet specified emission requirements when the engine is remanufactured. If no certified system were available, companies subject to these provisions would need to either retrofit an emission reduction technology for the engine that demonstrates at least a 25 percent reduction or repower (replace the engine with a new one). The second part of the program is contingent on EPA developing a list of high volume marine diesel engines for which a remanufacture certificate must be available by 2013. Finally, the second step of the program could be made subject to a technical review in 2011A summary of the five alternatives is contained in Tables VII-1 and VII-2 of the proposed rule. Table VII-1 includes the expected PM and NOx emission reductions, associated with each alternative through 2040 expressed as a net present value (NPV) using discounting rates of 3 percent and 7 percent. It also includes the estimated costs for each alternative through 2040 expressed at 3 percent NPV and 7 percent NPV. Table VI-2 shows the PM and NOx inventory reductions, costs, and benefits of each alternative estimated for the year 2030.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The total monetized benefits of the proposed standards, when based on published scientific studies of the risk of PM-related premature mortality, these benefits are projected to be more than $12 billion in 2030, assuming a 3 percent discount rate (or $11 billion assuming a 7 percent discount rate). Our estimate of total monetized benefits based on the PM-related premature mortality expert elicitation is between $4.6 billion and $33 billion in 2030, assuming a 3 percent discount rate (or $4.3 and $30 billion assuming a 7 percent discount rate). The social costs of the proposed program are estimated to be approximately $600 million in 2030. The estimated 2030 social welfare cost of 567.3 million is based on an earlier version of the engineering costs of the rule which estimated $568.3 million engineering costs in 2030 (see table V-15). The current engineering cost estimate for 2030 is $605 million. See section V.C.5 for an explanation of the difference. The estimated social costs of the program will be updated for the final rule. The impact of these costs on society are estimated to be minimal, with the prices of rail and marine transportation services estimated to increase by less about 0.4 percent for locomotive transportation services and about 0.6 percent for marine transportation services. Though there are a number of health and environmental effects associated with the proposed standards that we are unable to quantify or monetize, the benefits of the proposed standards far outweigh the projected costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The emissions of PM and ozone precursors from locomotive and marine diesel engines are associated with serious public health problems including premature mortality, aggravation of respiratory and cardiovascular disease, aggravation of existing asthma, acute respiratory symptoms, chronic bronchitis, and decreased lung function. In addition, emissions from locomotives and marine diesel engines are of particular concern, as diesel exhaust has been classified by EPA as a likely human carcinogen. Many people spend a large portion of time in or near areas of concentrated locomotive or marine diesel emissions, near rail yards, marine ports, railways, and waterways. Recent studies show that populations living near large diesel emission sources such as major roadways, rail yards and marine ports are likely to experience greater diesel exhaust exposure levels than the overall US population, putting them at a greater health risk. Scientific studies show ambient PM is associated with a series of adverse health effects. The locomotive and marine diesel engines, covered in this proposal contribute to both short-and long-term PM2.5 exposures. Health effects associated with short-term exposures (hours to days) to ambient PM include premature mortality, increased hospital admissions, heart and lung diseases, increased cough, adverse lower-respiratory symptoms, decrements in lung function and changes in heart rate rhythm and other cardiac effects. Studies examining populations exposed to different levels of air pollution over a number of years show associations between long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 and both total and cardio respiratory mortality. Locomotive and marine diesel engines also result in significant emissions of NOx and VOC emissions which contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone pollution or smog. People in many areas across the U.S. continue to be exposed to unhealthy levels of ambient ozone. The health and welfare effects of ozone are well documented and are assessed in EPAs 2006 ozone Air Quality Criteria Document (ozone AQCD) and EPA staff papers. Ozone can irritate the respiratory system, causing coughing, throat irritation, and/or uncomfortable sensation in the chest. Ozone can reduce lung function and make it more difficult to breathe deeply, and breathing may become more rapid and shallow than normal, thereby limiting a persons activity. Ozone can also aggravate asthma, leading to more asthma attacks that require a doctors attention and/or the use of additional medication. People who are more susceptible to effects associated with exposure to ozone include children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory disease such as asthma. locomotive and marine diesel engine emissions include diesel exhaust (DE), a complex mixture comprised of carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, carbon monoxide, nitrogen compounds, sulfur compounds and numerous low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons. A number of these gaseous hydrocarbon components are individually known to be toxic including aldehydes, benzene and 1,3-butadiene. Locomotive and marine diesel engine exhaust emissions contribute to ambient levels of other air toxics known or suspected as human or animal carcinogens, or that have non-cancer health effects. These other compounds include benzene, 1,3-butadiene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, polycyclic organic matter (POM), and naphthalene. All of these compounds, except acetaldehyde, were identified as national or regional risk drivers in the 1999 National-Scale Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) and have significant inventory contributions from mobile sources. That is, for a significant portion of the population, these compounds pose a significant portion of the total cancer and non-cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics. The reductions in locomotive and marine diesel engine emissions proposed in this rulemaking would help reduce exposure to these harmful substances.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP and NSPS for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills--Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will address issues concerning the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, that was published on January 16, 2003. We will revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction provisions promulgated in the rule in response to requests for more flexibility. We will clarify that the moisture balance calculations should be calculated on a wet weight basis as a response to requests about the intent of the promulgated rule. We will correct errors in the compliance dates for the rule.

Another aspect of this action will amend the existing regulation entitled Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, subpart WWW of 40 CFR part 60, promulgated on March 12, 1996. The amendment is being undertaken in response to requests to clarify our intent regarding what constitutes an adequate landfill gas treatment system. This action also clarifies our intent to exempt from control landfill gas that is treated/upgraded. Furthermore, it clarifies who is responsible for control of untreated landfill gas that is sold. This action is necessary to clarify our intent regarding the issues discussed above. It will improve implementation and compliance with this regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 6, 2006, the Agency proposed two options to address the Clean Air Act requirements for hospital sterilizers. One option requires no action and the other action requires implementation of a work practice. The Clean Air Act requires that EPA list area source categories that contribute to the emissions of 30 listed urban HAPs, and that are, or will be, subject to standards under section 112 of the Act. Sterilization processes use ethylene oxide which is one of the 30 listed HAPs. Hospital sterilization, a listed area source category, is a major contributor of ethylene oxide emissions in urban areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Emissions From Nonroad Spark-Ignition Engines and Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are setting emission standards for new nonroad spark-ignition engines that will substantially reduce emissions from these engines. The proposed exhaust emission standards would apply starting in 2009 for new marine spark-ignition engines, including first-time EPA standards for sterndrive and inboard engines. The proposed exhaust emission standards would apply starting in 2011 and 2012 for different sizes of new land-based, spark-ignition engines at or below 19 kilowatts (kW), which is equivalent to about 25 horsepower. These small engines are used primarily in lawn and garden applications. We are also proposing to adopt evaporative emission standards for vessels and equipment using any of these engines. Nationwide, these emission sources contribute to ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) nonattainment.
We estimate that by 2030, this proposed rule would result in significantly reduced pollutant emissions from regulated engine and equipment sources, including estimated annual nationwide reductions of 631,000 tons of volatile organic hydrocarbon emissions, 98,200 tons of NOx emissions, and 6,300 tons of direct particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions. These reductions correspond to significant reductions in the formation of ground-level ozone. We would also expect to see annual reductions of 2,690,000 tons of carbon monoxide emissions, with the greatest reductions in areas where there have been problems with individual exposures. The requirements in this rule will substantially benefit public health and welfare and the environment. We estimate that by 2030, the proposal's emission reductions would annually prevent 450 PM-related premature deaths, approximately 500 hospitalizations, and 52,000 work days lost. The total estimated annual benefits of the proposed rule in 2030 would be $3.4 billion. Estimated costs in 2030 would be many times less at $240 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Nationwide, emissions from Marine SI engines and Small SI engines contribute significantly to mobile source air pollution. By 2020 without this final rule these engines would account for about 27 percent (1,352,000 tons) of mobile source volatile organic hydrocarbon compounds (VOC) emissions, 31 percent (16,374,000 tons) of mobile source carbon monoxide (CO) emissions, 4 percent (202,000 tons) of mobile source oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions, and 16 percent (39,000 tons) of mobile source particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions. The new standards will reduce exposure to these emissions and help avoid a range of adverse health effects associated with ambient ozone, CO, and PM levels. In addition, the new standards will help reduce acute exposure to CO, air toxics, and PM for persons who operate or who work with or are otherwise active in close proximity to these engines. They will also help address other environmental problems associated with Marine SI engines and Small SI engines, such as visibility impairment in our national parks and other wilderness areas. These effects are described in more detail in subsequent sections of this Preamble.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Clean Air Act section 213(a)(1) directs EPA to study emissions from nonroad engines and vehicles to determine, among other things, whether these emissions cause, or significantly contribute to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Section 213(a)(2) further requires us to determine whether emissions of CO, VOC, and NOx from all nonroad engines significantly contribute to ozone or CO concentrations in more than one nonattainment area. If we determine that emissions from all nonroad engines do contribute significantly to these nonattainment areas, section 213(a) (3) then requires us to establish emission standards for classes or categories of new nonroad engines and vehicles that cause or contribute to such pollution. Specific statutory direction to set standards for nonroad spark-ignition engines comes from section 428(b) of the 2004 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which requires EPA to adopt regulations under the Clean Air Act "that shall contain standards to reduce emissions from new nonroad spark-ignition engines smaller than 50 horsepower."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[For Small spark-ignition engines, we considered what is achievable with catalyst technology. Our technology assessment work indicated that the proposed emission standards are feasible in the context of provisions for establishing emission standards prescribed in section 213 of the Clean Air Act. We also considered what can be achieved with larger, more efficient catalysts and improved fuel induction systems. Based on this work we evaluated more stringent HC+NOx standards involving a 50 percent reduction for Class I engines and a 65-70 percent reduction for Class II engines.
For Marine SI engines, we considered a more stringent exhaust emission standard for outboard and personal watercraft engines. This second tier of standards could apply starting in 2012 or later. Such a standard would be consistent with currently certified emission levels from a significant number of four-stroke outboard engines.
We considered both more and less stringent evaporative emission control alternatives. For small equipment, we considered a less stringent alternative without running loss emission standards. However, we believe that controlling running loss and diffusion emissions from non-handheld equipment is feasible at a relatively low cost. For a more stringent alternative, we considered applying a diurnal emission standard for all small equipment. We believe that passively purging carbon canisters could reduce diurnal emissions by 50 to 60 percent from small equipment. For marine vessels, we considered a less stringent alternative, where there would be no diurnal emission standard for vessels with installed fuel tanks. For a more stringent scenario, we considered a standard that would require boat builders to use an actively purged carbon canister. This means that, when the engine is operating, it would draw air through the canister to purge the canister of stored hydrocarbons.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Import Petitioning Requirements for Halon-1301 Aircraft Fire Extinguishing Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will provide an exemption under the import petitioning requirements for used ozone-depleting substances. The petitioning requirements outline the information that importers must submit to the Administrator at least 40 working days before a shipment is to leave the foreign port of export. This rule will reduce the administrative burden of anyone petitioning to import aircraft fire extinguishing spherical pressure vessels containing halon-1301 ("halon bottles") for hydrostatic testing in the United States. The rule would require importers to adhere to all import petitioning requirements but would require one petition to be submitted annually for all shipments rather than submission of a petition for each individual shipment 40 working days prior to export. Halon bottles are individual bottles containing halon-1301 that are connected to a larger fire suppression system within an aircraft. The halon bottles are brought into the United States for hydrostatic testing in which the halon is removed, the bottles are tested to ensure durability and effectiveness, and the same amount or more of halon is replaced back in the bottles and exported once again. The halon bottles must be routinely tested under Federal Aviation Administration and United States Department of Transportation regulations. The exemption to minimize the import petitioning requirements is being initiated because the bottles are not being imported for the eventual use or resale of the halon contained in the bottles and because hydrostatic testing of the bottles is required under FAA and DOT regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Gasoline Distribution Area Source Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act (CAA) includes two provisions--sections 112(c)(3) and 112(k)(3)(B)(ii)--that instruct us to identify and list source categories that contribute to the emissions of the 30 "listed" (or area source) Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP), and that are, or will be, subject to standards under section 112 of the CAA. EPA listed "Gasoline Distribution Stage I" as a new area source category in the Integrated Urban Strategy for National Air Toxics Program (Jul. 19, 1999, 40 FR 38706). Further, we agreed under a 2003 consent agreement to propose a rule for this area source category on or before October 31, 2006, and promulgate a final rule by December 20, 2007. No definitions are published for "Gasoline Distribution Area Sources." However, it is generally understood to include gasoline storage and transfer operations as gasoline is moved from the production refinery process units to and including the gasoline station storage tank. Vehicle refueling operations has been separated when this source category was listed since it is currently regulated under CAA sections 182(b)(3) and 202(a)(6). Area sources emit or have a potential to emit less than 10 tons per year of any single HAP or less than 25 tons per year of total HAP. The higher emitting sources (major sources) in this industry are already regulated (40 CFR 63, subpart R) under CAA section 112 national emission standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed amendments would revise and codify EPA's policy on when a major source can become an area source, and thus become not subject to national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for major sources. EPA is reconsidering the policy, established in a May 16, 1995 memorandum, which allows sources to attain area source status prior to the source's first substantive compliance date of an applicable NESHAP for major sources. No source would be subject to the requirements unless they voluntarily decided to implement them.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project is to develop New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for stationary reciprocating internal combustion spark ignited engines. This includes two stroke lean burn (2SLB) engines, four stroke lean burn (4SLB) engines, and four stroke rich burn (4SRB) engines. These standards are being developed under section 111 of the CAA to require the application of the best system of emission reduction taking into account the cost of achieving emission reductions and environmental and energy impacts. The pollutants that will be addressed in this rulemaking are PM, NOx, SO2, and CO. The project is on a litigated schedule to propose by May 2006 and to promulgate by December 2007. Information gathering began in early April 2004 and will result in the development of regulatory packages to propose and promulgate an NSPS standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Response to Petition of Reconsideration for Findings of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for Georgia for Purposes of Reducing Ozone Interstate Transport</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, EPA is responding to a petition for reconsideration of a final rule we issued under section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) related to the interstate transport of nitrogen oxides (NOx). On April 21, 2004, EPA issued a final rule that required the State of Georgia to submit SIP revisions that prohibit specified amounts of NOx emissions--one of the precursors to ozone (smog) pollution--for the purposes of reducing NOx and ozone transport across State boundaries in the eastern half of the United States. Subsequently, the Georgia Coalition for Sound Environmental Policy (GCSEP) filed a petition for reconsideration requesting that EPA reconsider the inclusion of the State of Georgia in the rule and also requested a stay of the applicability of the requirements as to the State of Georgia. In response to that petition, EPA proposed to stay the effectiveness of the 2004 rule on March 1, 2005 (70 FR 9897), and is undertaking the rulemaking described here to address the issues raised by the petitioners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of the Standards for Radioactive Waste Disposal in Yucca Mountain, Nevada</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the standards for Yucca Mountain, Nevada (40 CFR Part 197). These standards were issued in 2001 and were partially remanded by a Federal court in 2004. These amendments will address the remanded portion of the standards, viz., the compliance period. Yucca Mountain is the site of a potential geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. It is about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, and straddles the boundaries of the Nevada Test Site, Bureau of Land Management land, and an Air Force bombing range. The site is being developed by the Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE will submit a license application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). We (EPA) were given the authority to set Yucca Mountain-specific standards in the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EnPA). The EnPA also requires NRC to adopt our standards in its licensing regulations and use them as a basis to judge compliance of the repository's performance. The Agency issued final Yucca Mountain standards in 2001. In July 2004, the DC Circuit Court returned the standards to EPA for reconsideration of the regulatory time frame. The Court found that the 10,000-year compliance period violates our authorizing statute for Yucca Mountain regulation because it is not "based upon and consistent with" scientific recommendations required from the National Academy of Sciences under the legislation. To address the Court's opinion, we must reassess the time frame in light of the National Academy's recommendation that compliance must be addressed at the time of peak dose, which may be as long as several hundred thousand years into the future.]]></ABSTRACT>

Alternatives addressing that recommendation will be developed as the rulemaking proceeds.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[An economic impact assessment (EIA) was performed for the proposed rulemaking. The EIA showed that many of the arguments and conclusions of the EIA for the original standards in 2001 are applicable to the proposed rule, which extends the compliance period from 10,000 years to as long as 1 million years. Specifically, the need to evaluate compliance with the individual protection standard is the same, the types of information needed to make those evaluations are the same, the performance assessment methodologies are the same, and the reasonable expectation approach to establishing the basis for the evaluations and compliance decisions is the same. Consequently, the proposed changes to the standards do not require additional efforts in site characterization, design, or assessment methodology development. Because DOE is not expected to make changes, undertake significant site characterization, or drastically revise its performance approach or models as a result of EPAs revisions to the 2001 rulemaking, there are no costs directly attributable to EPAs rulemaking.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[As a result of the standards extending to as long as an unprecedented 1 million years, approaches for characterizing and expressing the risk are under consideration, and will be addressed in the final rulemaking.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Continuous Emissions Monitoring Rule for the Acid Rain Program and the NOx Budget Trading Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would modify the existing requirements for sources affected by the Acid Rain Program, and the NOx Budget Trading Program. The Acid Rain Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) rule would be revised to improve implementation by making improvements to the monitoring and reporting process that will benefit both EPA and the facilities affected by the rule. These amendments will have no environmental impacts, and are expected to reduce the ongoing costs and burden associated with reporting emissions under the current rule by instituting a revised reporting procedure that will reduce the redundancy that currently exists with the existing procedures. Specifically, as part of its reengineering efforts, EPA is replacing the existing record type dependant reporting format to an XML data reporting format that takes advantage of technological advances in data management. This fundamental change is expected to reduce the costs of programming data collection systems at the affected facilities and should provide EPA with the flexibility to better adapt its systems to unique data configurations, which are not currently easily (or properly) adaptable by the current reporting structure. EPA expects to reduce the cost and burden associated with resubmittals of data reports due to errors identified after the submittals are made. This action also attempts to clarify, simplify, and enhance certain sections in the CEM rule to make it easier for sources to understand and comply with the regulation. Examples include: Providing a mechanism for a source to utilize the concept of long-term cold storage; clarifying that only one monitoring methodology should be specified at any time; and modifying the quality assurance timing requirements for ozone season only reporters. These amendments need to be finalized prior to the planned implementation date of January 1, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources, and Federal Plan:  Small Municipal Waste Combustors: Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the final (Dec. 2000) small municipal waste combustors (MWC) new source performance standards (NSPS), emission guidelines (EG), and Federal 111(d) plan. The small MWC rule regulates owners and operators of small MWC, which are MWC units with capacities between 35 tons per day (tpd) and 250 tpd. The amendments will not change the response (the types of emission controls that will be used) of the facilities to the rule, but will provide clarification and correction. Specifically, the amendments will include: (1) Fixing typographical errors created by the Office of the Federal Register; (2) approval of State operator training programs for MWC operators in the State of Minnesota (this was previously done for MWC operators in the States of Maryland and Connecticut); (3) addressing carbon monoxide (CO) emission limits during MWC malfunctions (this same provision was already added to large MWC standards in a previous rulemaking); (4) revising a CO limit for one type of MWC and a NOx limit for another type of MWC; and (5) removing one voluntary consensus standard, ASTM D-6522, which is not an appropriate test method for this industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will combine and consolidate air emission reporting requirements from three regulations. The three regulations are the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), the Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule (CERR), and the NOX SIP Call. Each of these regulations has associated emissions reporting requirements. The purpose of this action is to resolve differences in the reporting requirements in the three regulations so that the regulated community will have a single location in the Code of Federal Regulations that details air emission reporting requirements. For example, the CERR and the NOX SIP Call use similar but not identical terminology to describe what data must be reported to EPA. The final rule will resolve these differences.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 require EPA to review and, if necessary, revise national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) periodically. On July 18, 1997, the EPA published a final rule revising the NAAQS for ozone. The primary and secondary NAAQS were strengthened to provide increased protection against both health and environmental effects of ozone. The EPA's work plan/schedule for the next review of the ozone Criteria Document was published on November 2002. The first external review draft Criteria Document, a rigorous assessment of relevant scientific information, was released on January 31, 2005. The EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards will prepare a Staff Paper for the Administrator, which will evaluate the policy implications of the key studies and scientific information contained in the Criteria Document and additional technical analyses, and identify critical elements that EPA staff believe should be considered in reviewing the standards. The Criteria Document was reviewed by CASAC and the public, changes were incorporated, and the final Criteria Document was released on March 21, 2006. The Staff Paper was released on January 31, 2007. As the ozone NAAQS review is completed, the Administrator's proposal to reaffirm or revise the ozone 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>Implementation Rule for 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS: Reconsideration; Overwhelming Transport Classification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule was issued as a result of EPA's Reconsideration of the Phase 1 Rule to Implement the 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS as requested by Earthjustice. Specifically, this rule will address the Overwhelming Transport Classification. The Phase 1 Rule provided 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, the Phase 1 Rule addressed the requirements of the CAA and the Supreme Court's ruling.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source Review:  Emission Increases for Electric Generating Units</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise the emissions test for existing electric generating units (EGUs) that are subject to the regulations governing the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and nonattainment major New Source Review (NSR) programs mandated by parts C and D of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The existing emissions test compares actual emissions to either potential emissions or projected actual emissions. Under this rulemaking's revised NSR emissions test (a maximum hourly test like that used in the NSPS program), we would compare the EGU's maximum hourly emissions (considering controls) before the change for the past 5 years to the maximum hourly emissions after the change. The maximum hourly emissions test will be based either on maximum achieved or maximum achievable hourly emissions, measured on an input or an output basis. One proposed option provides that the maximum hourly emissions increase test would be followed by the annual emissions increase test in the current rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Plan Requirements for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units Constructed On or Before December 9, 2004</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this OSWI Federal plan rulemaking, EPA becomes an implementing authority in those instances where the State or local agency has failed to submit a plan or a plan has not yet been approved. Therefore, consistent with section 129(b)(3) of the Act, this rulemaking would impose a Federal plan that applies to OSWI in any State, tribe, or locale that has not submitted an approvable plan within the time allotted. This action makes no changes to the requirements in the December 2005 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>Requirements for Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) Under the 8-Hour Ozone Standard for Bump-Up Areas Designated Attainment for the 1-Hour Ozone Standard Prior to Revocation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) is gasoline blended to reduce emissions that cause ozone smog. The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires certain areas to use RFG, depending on how serious is the ozone problem--i.e., how far it is from attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone. In some cases, areas that previously had a less-serious ozone problem subsequently experience worse air quality, and in such cases the Clean Air Act requires them to be "bumped up" to a higher category, thereby requiring RFG use. One complication is that the Agency is now implementing the transition from the previous ozone standard, based on the amount of pollution measured over a 1-hour period, to the new ozone standard, based on an 8-hour period. This rule would set regulations for such cases. EPA is inviting comment on two options for such cases. Under the first option, an area would be required to use RFG at least until it is redesignated to attainment for the 8-hour NAAQS. This option would rely on an anti-backsliding approach that emphasizes that the area is still an ozone nonattainment area notwithstanding its redesignation to attainment of the 1-hour NAAQS. EPA would interpret the Act as requiring continued use of RFG in the proposal areas due to their continued status as ozone nonattainment areas under the 8-hour NAAQS. An area would remain an RFG area at least until it is redesignated to attainment for the 8-hour NAAQS. Under the second option, EPA would interpret CAA section 211(k)(10)(D) such that an area would no longer be considered an RFG area after redesignation to attainment for the 1-hour NAAQS, if the State requests removal of RFG and demonstrates that removal would not result in loss of emission reductions relied upon in the State attainment plan. This option would allow for removal of the RFG program for proposal areas during transition to the 8-hour NAAQS, unlike the approach adopted for other bump-up areas. This option would implement an antibacksliding approach with a trigger date (date of revocation of the 1-hour NAAQS) that is different from that otherwise used. EPA recently redesignated Atlanta to attainment of the 1-hour NAAQS, prior to revocation of the 1-hour NAAQS. Thus, Atlanta is the only bump-up area that would fall within the scope of this proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act, the EPA is required to list and schedule for regulation those categories of consumer or commercial products that account for at least 80 percent of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, on a reactivity adjusted basis, in areas that violate the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone. This rule is intended to meet that requirement for the aerosol spray paint category listed on March 23, 1995. This national regulation will establish a uniform reactivity-based standard for aerosol spray paints modeled after the California Air Resource Board (CARB) Regulation for Reducing the Ozone Formed from Aerosol Coating Product Emissions. EPA granted final approval of the revisions to the California State Implementation Plan containing this regulation on September 13, 2005. Although mass-based VOC reductions have been made in the aerosol coating category, this reactivity-based approach will achieve additional reductions in ozone formation where further mass-based reductions have proven to be technologically infeasible. This national rule is projected to better control a products contribution to ozone formation by encouraging reductions of higher reactivity VOCs, rather than treating all VOCs in a product alike through a mass-based approach.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 111(b)(1)(B) of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to review new source performance standards at least every 8 years. Under this project, we will review and, if appropriate, revise the new source performance standards for equipment leaks (subparts VV and GGG in part 60). Equipment leaks are defined as leaks from valves, pumps, compressors, sampling connections, open-ended lines, and pressure relief valves at SOCMI sources (subpart VV) and oil refineries (subpart GGG). We will determine if actual emission reductions currently being achieved due to other programs are greater than the requirements in the current NSPS standards, and whether the current NSPS standards should be revised.]]></ABSTRACT>

Under this project, we will review and, if appropriate, revise the new source performance standards for petroleum refineries (subpart J in part 60). We will determine if actual emission reductions currently being achieved due to other programs are greater than the requirements in the current NSPS standards, and whether the current standards should be revised.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation Conformity Rule Amendments To Implement Provisions Contained in the 2005 Transportation Bill (SAFETEA-LU)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The transportation conformity rule ensures that transportation planning is consistent with a State's plan for achieving the air quality standards. These amendments to the rule are necessary as a result of the changes to the Clean Air Act's transportation conformity provisions as mandated by the recent transportation bill, SAFETEA-LU. SAFETEA-LU revised a number of aspects of the Clean Air Act's transportation conformity provisions including: 1) Providing an additional 6 months to re-determine conformity after new State implementation plan (SIP) motor vehicle emissions budgets are either found adequate, approved or promulgated; 2) changing the frequency requirements for transportation conformity determinations; 3) providing an option for reducing the time period covered by conformity determinations; 4) providing procedures for areas to use in substituting or adding transportation control measures (TCMs) to approved SIPs; 5) adding a one-year grace period for conformity lapses; and 6) streamlining requirements for conformity SIPs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Final Rule for Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for PM2.5</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking action is the final rule which lays out the provisions and requirements for implementation of the NSR program for particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). This rule would apply to new and modified major stationary sources of PM2.5. In 1997, EPA promulgated National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM2.5). EPA designations of 39 nonattainment areas for the PM2.5 standards became effective on April 5, 2005. The Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation Rule, which was proposed in the Federal Register on November 1, 2005, included requirements and guidance for State and local air pollution agencies to follow in developing State implementation plans (SIPs) designed to bring areas into attainment with the 1997 standards. The proposed rule also included the New Source Review (NSR) provisions for implementing the PM2.5 program. In this final action, we have split the NSR provisions of the proposed rule as a separate package. This rule will address the applicability of NSR to precursors, Major Source Threshold and Significant Emissions Rate for PM2.5, preconstruction monitoring requirements, offset provisions and inter pollutant trading of offsets and finally the transition provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would clarify the "reasonable possibility" recordkeeping standard that we promulgated in the NSR Reform rule of 2002. In June 2005, the D.C. Circuit Court remanded the rule for EPA to provide such clarification. For tracking and reporting, certain records must be kept only if there is a "reasonable possibility" that a proposed project will result in a significant emissions increase. We are proposing one or more scenarios under which the recordkeeping standard is applicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clean Air Mercury Rule: Federal Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is a Federal Plan to implement the requirements of the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) for States that do not have a timely, approved State Plan, as well as the two tribes affected by the rule. The Federal Plan implements the requirements of CAMR by requiring that electric generating units in these States and tribes participate in the EPA-administered CAMR cap-and-trade program. While this rule provides for Federal implementation of the cap and trade program, it makes no other substantive changes to the model cap and trade program already finalized as part of CAMR. During the CAMR rulemaking process, EPA conducted extensive analysis of the economic, environmental, and health impacts of CAMR. Because the requirements and major programmatic elements of CAMR remain the same under the Federal Plan, these analyses remain unchanged under this action, as do conclusions regarding consideration of Executive Orders. This rule also reflects any modifications based on the CAMR Final Action on Reconsideration. This action also makes minor revisions to the CAMR model cap and trade rule and the Acid Rain Program regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Refinement to Increment Modeling Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Part C of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA) contains the requirements for a component of the major New Source Review (NSR) program known as the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program. This program sets forth procedures for the preconstruction review and permitting of new and modified major stationary sources of air pollution locating in areas meeting the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), i.e., "attainment" areas, or in areas for which there is insufficient information to classify an area as either attainment or nonattainment, i.e., "unclassifiable" areas. The applicability of the PSD program to a particular source must be determined in advance of construction and is pollutant-specific. 

The PSD program also established increments, which are maximum increases in ambient air concentrations allowed in a PSD area over a baseline concentration. These increments follow the three-tiered area classification system established by Congress in section 163 of the CAA. Class I areas include certain national parks and wilderness areas that were designated by Congress as areas of special national concern, where the need to prevent air quality deterioration is the greatest. Class II areas are all areas not specifically designated in the CAA as Class I areas and Class III areas are the ones originally designated as Class II, where higher levels of industrial development (and emission growth) are desired. 

In this rulemaking, we propose to refine several aspects of the method that may be used to calculate an increase in concentration for increment purposes. These refinements are intended to clarify how States and regulated sources may calculate increases in concentration for purposes of determining compliance with the PSD increments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Shipbuilding and Ship Repair (Surface Coating) Operations--Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 15, 1995, the EPA issued national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) under section 112 of the Clean Air Act for shipbuilding and ship repair (surface coating) operations. The NESHAP requires existing and new major sources to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants to the extent achievable by the use of maximum achievable control technology. This action is intended to more clearly state the distinction between and the definition of ship and pleasure craft. It is being issued in response to questions concerning whether yachts greater than 20 meters (78.7 feet) in length are ships and, therefore subject to the NESHAP or pleasure craft. This final action will revise the definitions of pleasure craft and ship and include size criteria to ensure that all activities intended to be subject to the NESHAP are in fact subject to it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incineration Units--Response to Remand and 5-Year Technology Review</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 hospital/medical/infectious waste incineration units (HMIWI). Regulations for HMIWI were promulgated on September 15, 1997, and those standards have been adopted and fully implemented with all retrofits completed. However, these regulations were subsequently remanded by the Court on March 2, 1999. The fundamental issue leading to the remand was the approach and methodology used by EPA to develop the HMIWI regulations. In effect, the Court questioned whether the regulations developed by EPA reflected the actual emission performance of the best controlled similar unit for new HMIWI and the average of the best performing 12 percent of units for existing HMIWI, and remanded the regulations to EPA for further explanation of its reasoning in determining the minimum regulatory "floors" for new and existing HMIWI. The purpose of the first part of this project is to respond to this remand. The second part of this project pertains to Clean Air Act section 129(a)(5), which requires EPA to review and, if necessary, revise standards developed under section 129 every 5 years. This process, known as the 5-year technology review, involves assessing the current environmental performance of hospital/medical/infectious waste incineration units and revising the emission limits to reflect this actual performance. The purpose of the second part of this project is to review the performance of control technology and the associated emission reductions achieved by the promulgated HMIWI regulations to determine whether they should be revised to better reflect MACT. We note that implementation of these MACT standards has been highly effective, reducing emissions of the nine section 129 pollutants (particulate matter, carbon monoxide, dioxins/furans, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, lead, mercury, and cadmium) by more than 95 percent, and has reduced dioxin/furan and mercury emissions by more than 99 percent since 1995. Additionally, the number of operational units has dropped significantly since promulgation in 1997 from 2,400 units to approximately 80 units today. The amendments resulting from this 5-year review will prevent backsliding of HMIWI unit performance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule finalizes the deferral of the effective date of nonattainment designations for the Denver Early Action Compact (EAC) area from September 14, 2007, until November 15 or December 15, 2007, date to be determined based on a settlement agreement being negotiated with the litigants. In a previous rulemaking (November 29, 2006), EPA deferred until April 15, 2008, the nonattainment designations for 13 other EAC areas which agreed to reduce ground-level ozone pollution earlier than the Clean Air Act requires and to attain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone by December 31, 2007. This action must be finalized and published in the Federal Register by September 14, 2007, to defer the nonattainment designation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Response to Request for Reconsideration of Final Air Emission MACT Rules for Large Municipal Waste Combustors (MWCs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA originally adopted air emission standards for new and existing large municipal waste combustors (MWCs) in 1995. As required by section 129 of the CAA, EPA reviewed these standards and proposed revised standards. The proposal occurred on December 19, 2005, and final standards were published on May 10, 2006 (71 FR 27323). A number of individuals, including Earthjustice, filed litigation on various aspects of the standards. Earthjustice also filed a request for EPA to reconsider four items included in the final standards. Earthjustice did not believe the changes made to the four items following proposal were adequately explained in the final FR notice. EPA agreed to reconsider the items and, following reconsideration, would publish a FR notice explaining EPA's logic for the changes, take comment on the action, and publish a final action. In response to this commitment by EPA , the Court has "held" the litigation until the reconsideration action is complete. EPA has committed to the Court to complete the reconsideration (proposal and final FR action) within 9 months. The Court then issued an order for EPA to complete the reconsideration in 9 months. EPA filed its motion with the Court on October 16, 2006, and has therefore committed to complete the reconsideration by July 16, 2007 (9 months).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Change in Regulatory Deadline for Rulemaking To Address the Control of Emissions From New Marine Compression-Ignition Engines At or Above 30 Liters per Cylinder</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a 2003 FRM promulgating new standards for these engines (68 FR 9746, Feb. 28, 2003), we established a regulatory deadline of April 27, 2007, to finalize a new tier of standards that would reflect both the state of technology that may permit deeper emission reductions and the status of international action for more stringent standards. Since that time, we have continued to engage the industry and other stakeholders and to assess emission control technology. In addition, we have worked through the International Maritime Organization to further the goal of more stringent exhaust emission standards for all ships used in international traffic. However, the international process has taken longer than anticipated. The purpose of this action is to put a new regulatory deadline in place recognizing the current situation. Because of the long lead times associated with ship designs and the role of the international process in addressing emissions from foreign flagged ships, we do not believe that this process extension will delay the achievement of further emission reductions from these marine engines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Definitions for National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Pollutants for Radionuclides, Subparts H and I</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. The current definition of "effective dose equivalent" refers to a method of calculation in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) publication no. 26. Removing this reference will prevent confusion if EPA incorporates newer ICRP methods for calculating effective dose equivalent in its compliance models.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fuel Economy Regulations for Automobiles: Technical Amendments and Corrections</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action amends and corrects portions of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) existing fuel economy regulations, located at 40 CFR part 600. There are two reasons for this action. First, some minor corrections and amendments are needed to correct portions of EPA's final rule for fuel economy labeling requirements for cars and light trucks (71 FR 77872, Dec. 27, 2006). Some typographical errors and errors of omission will be corrected. Second, the Department of Transportation finalized new average fuel economy standards for light trucks on April 6, 2006 (71 FR 77872). This rule amended the existing DOT regulations at 49 CFR part 523,533, and 537, by adding new definitions, setting new fuel economy standards for light trucks, and amending some reporting requirements. In order for DOT to execute its new requirements, DOT's regulations rely on EPA to reference the new definitions and collect the new information from automobile manufacturers, so that EPA can determine the new light truck average fuel economy targets. The new definitions include "medium duty passenger vehicle" and "footprint". Under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), EPA is required to calculate the average fuel economy of a manufacturer using methods it prescribes by regulation. (49 U.S.C. 32904(a)(1)(A)). EPA has conducted this activity for about 30 years and this rulemaking only updates the information the Agency will receive from the auto manufacturers. The changes adopted by DOT include a new requirement to determine the "footprint" for each model type of vehicle, so that target standards can be calculated. EPA must therefore collect "footprint" data from auto manufacturers, which includes measurements for front track width, rear track width, wheelbase and final sales of each model type. EPA's current regulations do not require manufacturers to submit this information, thus a minor amendment is needed to add this information collection. The DOT rule takes effect with 2008 model year trucks, which can begin to be produced as early as January 2, 2007, thus it is important that EPA begin collecting this new information as soon as possible. These changes do not change the existing EPA test procedures or calculation methods for average fuel economy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is seeking to allocate essential use allowances for import and production of class I stratospheric ozone depleting substances for calendar 2008. Essential use allowances enable a person to obtain newly produced or imported controlled class I ozone-depleting substances under the essential use exemption to the regulatory phaseout of these chemicals, which became effective on January 1, 1996. Essential uses include the manufacture of important medical devices such as asthma inhalers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Consolidated Federal Air Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This direct final rule will extend the time period required for source owners and operators to conduct performance tests during force majeure situations. A force majeure is an event caused by circumstances beyond the control of the affected facility that results in not meeting the regulatory requirement to conduct performance tests within the specified timeframe despite the affected facility's best efforts to fulfill the obligation. Examples of such events are acts of nature, acts of war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety hazard beyond the control of the affected facility.

The EPA is publishing this rule without a prior proposed rule because we view this as a non-controversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. On May 16, 2007, we published a final rule that revised the General Provisions for Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, and for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories to allow extensions to the deadline imposed for source owners and operators to conduct performance tests due to force majeure circumstances. We recently realized that we should have also revised the Consolidated Federal Air Rule to allow extensions to the deadline imposed for source owners and operators to conduct performance tests in these circumstances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities: Corrections</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are taking direct final action on amendments to the national perchloroethylene air emission standards for dry cleaning facilities promulgated on July 27, 2006 (FR 71 42724), under the authority of section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). These amendments will add rule text to clarify that requirements for monitoring dry cleaning drums using a colorimetric detector was intended only for major sources (not for area sources) and that, when monitoring for condenser operation, either pressure or temperature monitoring methods are equally acceptable. Without these corrections, the rule erroneously "implies" that: 1) Area sources are required to perform colorimetric monitoring, and; 2) that dry cleaning machines with installed pressure gauges must use "only" the pressure method for monitoring the condenser operation, when the temperature test is equally acceptable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petroleum Refinery Residual Risk Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112(f) of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to assess residual risks that remain after implementation of technology-based standards for each category of major sources of air-toxic emissions. Section 112(f) also mandates EPA to develop additional emission standards for these sources, as necessary, to protect public health with an ample margin of safety or to prevent significant and widespread adverse environmental effects. The current rule covers emissions from certain process vents, storage vessels, wastewater streams, loading racks, marine tank vessel loading operations, and equipment leaks. Under this project, we will model the emissions to determine the residual risk associated with the current control technologies. Section 112(d)6 requires EPA to review and revise as necessary emissions standards taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies. We will examine the refinery control technologies to see what improvements have been made in the 12 years since this rulemaking was promulgated. This rulemaking is under a consent decree to fulfill requirements of section 112(d)6 requiring proposal by August 21, 2007, and promulgation by August 21, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interpretation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM2.5--Correcting and Simplifying Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA recently finalized changes to the data handling conventions and computations in 40 CFR part 50 necessary for determining when the annual and 24-hour primary national ambient air quality standards for fine particles (PM2.5) are met (appendix N). These changes were made in support of revisions to the Particulate Matter Ambient Air Quality Standards that were finalized in the same rulemaking. Following the publication of this rule, an omission was discovered in the rule text explaining the procedures for calculating the key statistic (98th percentile) involved with determining compliance with the 24-hour standard in situations when extra samples were taken above the intended sampling frequency. If the rule text error is left unchanged, the resulting statistic for calculating compliance with the 24-hour fine particle standard would be biased low at some samplers, leading to potentially incorrect decisions concerning the attainment or nonattainment of areas with respect to the 24-hour PM2.5 ambient standard. In this Direct Final Action, EPA will correct the error that leads to incorrectly calculated 24-hour fine particle 98th percentile statistics. The correction will involve the replacement of the currently-used statistical formulae and instructions with a simpler look-up table approach that will be easier for data users to employ while retaining numerical consistency with historical EPA practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

This direct final rulemaking (DFR) will add new emission measurement accuracy margins for portable emission measurement systems used in that program. These new accuracy margins are the result of a joint research program by EPA, the California Air Resources Board, and the Engine Manufacturers Association. All parties concur with the new margins. The aforementioned existing rule that implemented the manufacturer-run, in-use test program described the joint research program referenced above and noted that the resultant accuracy margins would be added to the applicable regulation by a subsequent direct final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule provides flexibility to refiners, importers, and distributors of diesel fuel by amending the ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) regulations to allow a nationwide sampling and testing program to be used as an alternative means of meeting the sampling and testing defense elements under 40 CFR section 80.613. This alternative method would consist of a comprehensive program of quality assurance sampling and testing calculated to achieve the same objectives as the current regulatory quality assurance requirement; i.e. that the sulfur content in ULSD does not exceed regulatory limits. The program would be carried out by an independent association funded by an industry consortium, and would be conducted pursuant to a survey plan, approved by EPA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Performance Specification 16 is being promulgated 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. Performance Specification 16 was proposed on August 8, 2005.  The comments received from the public have been considered and the performance specification has been edited to reflect those comments that warrant revision.  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>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>

        <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 November 25, 1996 (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>

        <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>Inspection/Maintenance Program Requirements for Federal Facilities</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>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. That 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. This action also proposes to withdraw the section 126 Rule in States that meet the proposed revised criteria.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Section 126 Rule: Withdrawal of Findings for Sources in Michigan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA coordinated the section 126 Rule with another rule known as the NOx State implementation plan (SIP) Call, because both rules 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 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. In this current action, EPA is proposing that the Michigan Phase I SIP meets the proposed revised section 126 Rule withdrawal criteria, and therefore, if EPA finalizes the withdrawal criteria as proposed, EPA would withdraw the section 126 Rule for sources in Michigan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Nitrogen Oxides State Implementation Plan Call (NOx SIP Call)(63 FR 57356, Oct. 27, 1998), 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 on September 18, 2000 (65 FR 56245), based on the uncertainty created by the D.C. Circuit's decision. EPA has now completed the actions necessary to address the aforementioned remand, and therefore is now conducting rulemaking to lift the stay. EPA is proposing to lift the stay of our findings in the NOx SIP Call contained in 40 CFR sec 51.121(a)(2), related to the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). This action does not create any new requirements; it merely reinstitutes a requirement of the NOx SIP Call that had previously been stayed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition To Delist a Hazardous Air Pollutant From Section 112 of the Clean Air Act: Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Ketones Panel of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) has petitioned the Agency to remove methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) from the Clean Air Act (CAA) hazardous air pollutant (HAP) list. The ACC originally submitted the petition in April of 1997. EPA suspended review of the petition pending the completion of 2-generation reproductive effects study. That study is now complete. On October 17, 2003, the ACC submitted an addendum to the 1997 petition which includes: The results of the 2-generation reproductive effects study, a presentation of the updated EPA IRIS file for MIBK, and updated air dispersion modeling and an analysis of potential transformation products. Based on this new submission, the ACC requested that EPA reopen its review of the MIBK petition. EPA did reopen its review of the petition. However, since the last submittal by the petitioner, a 2-year MIBK bioassay by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) has been completed. A draft report of this study was reviewed by the NTP Board of Scientific Counselors Technical Reports Review Subcommittee, which accepted unanimously the conclusions in the report that there is some evidence of carcinogenic activity of MIBK. EPA has notified the petitioner that further review of the petition will require that the petitioner submit information regarding the relevance of the NTP study and a risk characterization for the human risk of cancer from MIBK exposures, which would include the derivation of a cancer unit risk estimate. Given the significant time that will be necessary to prepare and submit this information, we are considering the MIBK petition review a long-term action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is a follow up to SAN 4676, which is a final rule that specifies categories of equipment replacement activities that would qualify as "routine maintenance, repair, and replacement" (RMRR) under the Clean Air Act's New Source Review (NSR) Program (40 CFR parts 51 and 52). SAN 4676's final action--referred to as the "equipment replacement provision" (ERP)--was promulgated in the Federal Register on October 27, 2003, (68 FR 61248). The action summarized here, SAN 4676.3, when finalized, will establish a regulatory definition for maintenance and repair activities (that are not equipment replacements) that qualify for the RMRR Exclusion from Major NSR. We previously proposed options for this SAN in our RMRR proposal on December 31, 2002, (67 FR 80920). However, this action will propose and take comments on an additional approach.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Component Durability Procedures for New Light Duty Vehicles, Light Duty Trucks and Heavy Duty Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 22, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia 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 pre-production 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 prescribed 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. Although there is no court-ordered deadline, this is a court-ordered action. During the comment period of the NPRM the Agency received a comment from the Afton Chemical Corporation (formally known as Ethyl Corporation) suggesting that EPA did not address the component durability portion of the new vehicle emission certification process and should establish a procedure for rulemaking requesting comment on whether our current component durability process is appropriate or if we should revise the process to include a limited amount of testing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Optional Chassis Certification for Diesel Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior to the heavy-duty 2007 rulemaking (HD 2007), we have required that crankcase emissions be controlled only on naturally aspirated diesel engines. We made an exception for turbocharged heavy-duty diesel engines in the past because of concerns regarding fouling that could occur from diesel PM and engine oil, which are included in the crankcase emissions, when routing the crankcase blow-by into the turbocharger and aftercooler. However, this was an environmentally significant exception since most heavy-duty diesel trucks use turbocharged engines, and a single engine can emit over 100 pounds of NOx, NMHC, and PM from the crankcase over its lifetime. Therefore, given the availability of technologies to control crankcase emissions and the significant environmental benefit for eliminating those emissions, we are proposing new requirements for crankcase emissions in the HD 2007 rulemaking. Those provisions require that heavy-duty diesel engines either close the crankcase or account for any crankcase emissions within the total compliance limits of the tailpipe emissions standard. This requirement had the unintended consequence of confusing which crankcase provisions should apply to these heavy-duty diesel engines, those of subpart S or the newly defined diesel provisions of. It was our intention that these vehicles meet the newly defined requirements of closed crankcase provisions just as other heavy-duty diesel engines must. Therefore, we are finalizing a change to the HD 2007 that explicitly defines the crankcase provisions applicable for heavy-duty chassis certified diesel engines under 14,000 pounds as those provisions defined under CFR section 86.007-11. There are no environmental impacts. This represents a cost savings to the manufacturers of highway heavy duty diesel engines.]]></ABSTRACT>

This regulation establishes the criteria for certifying a vehicle as low emitting and energy-efficient. State HOV programs will reference this regulation in their request to Federal Highway Administration for exceptions to the 2-person minimum occupancy HOV requirement. These regulations are optional for States to implement and will sunset in 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defect Reporting for On-Highway Motor Vehicles and Engines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA regulations require manufacturers to report defects of emissions-related equipment or emissions control systems of on-highway motor vehicles and heavy-duty engines. Under the current regulations a defect report is required when a manufacturer determines that the same defect has occurred in 25 or more vehicles or engines. This is an unreasonably small threshold for large engine families/test groups. This action would create new thresholds that would depend upon the size of the engine family/test group. It would also obligate manufacturers to conduct investigations under certain circumstances to determine if an emission-related defect is present. The investigations would be triggered by warranty information, parts shipments, and any other information which may be available indicate need for an investigation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will propose EPA's response to the remand of the Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) New Source Performance Standards and Emission Guidelines under section 129 of the CAA. This action also will propose several amendments to the standards. We are considering covering the following types of units located at commercial or industrial facilities that currently are not covered under CISWI: Units with waste heat recovery, units that burn more than 30 percent municipal solid waste at commercial/industrial facilities, and cyclonic burn barrels. We also will clarify provisions regarding air curtain incinerators, the exemption for chemical recovery units, the exemption for spent sulfuric acid production, startup and shutdown, and the definition of clean wood waste. Finally, in response to the voluntary remand of the CISWI rules, we will examine and revise as appropriate the methodology for developing the MACT floors and emission limits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Nitrogen Dioxide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 require EPA to review and, if appropriate, revise the primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) periodically. On October 11, 1995, the EPA published a final rule not to revise either the primary or secondary NAAQS for nitrogen dioxide (NO2). That action provided the Administrator's final determination, after careful evaluation of comments received on the October 1995 proposal, that revisions to neither the primary nor the secondary NAAQS for NO2 were appropriate at that time. On December 9, 2005, the EPA/ORD initiated the current periodic review of NO2 air quality criteria, the scientific basis for the NAAQS, with a call for information in the Federal Register. (This regulatory action is for the Agency's review of the primary NO2 NAAQS. Review of the secondary NO2 NAAQS will be part of a separate regulatory action combined with review of the sulfur dioxide NAAQS.) As part of the review process, the Agency will prepare an Integrated Review Plan, an Integrated Science Assessment, and a Risk/Exposure Assessment. These documents will be reviewed by the public and by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee established to review the scientific and technical basis of the NAAQS. The final documents will reflect the input received through these reviews. A Policy Assessment will then be published as an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) that reflects Agency views. This ANPR will also be reviewed by the public and by CASAC during a public comment period. Input received through these reviews will inform the development of a proposed rulemaking. The Administrator's proposal to retain or revise the NO2 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>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977, EPA is required to review the air quality criteria every 5 years for the primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and, if appropriate, revise these standards. On October 17, 2006, the EPA published a final rule to revise the primary and secondary NAAQS for particulate matter (PM) to provide increased protection of public health and welfare. With regard to the primary standards for fine particles (generally referring to particles less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter, PM2.5), EPA revised the level of the 24-hour PM2.5 standard to 35 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3) and retained the level of the annual PM2.5 standard at 15 ug/m3. With regard to primary standards for particles generally less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10), EPA retained the 24-hour PM10 standard and revoked the annual PM10 standard. With regard to secondary PM standards, EPA made them identical in all respects to the primary PM standards, as revised. This review of the PM NAAQS is being conducted using a new NAAQS review process. The review will begin in July 2007 with a workshop to discuss key policy-relevant issues around which EPA would structure the review. The workshop discussions will provide important input as OAR and ORD consider the appropriate design and scope of the major elements that will inform the Agency's policy assessment under the new NAAQS process: an integrated plan highlighting the key policy-relevant issues prepared by OAR and ORD, an Integrated Science Assessment prepared by ORD, and a Risk/Exposure Assessment prepared by OAR. The ANPRM prepared by OAR will evaluate the policy implications of key information contained in the Integrated Science Assessment and Risk/Exposure Assessment, as well as additional appropriate technical analyses. The ANPRM will reflect Agency views regarding options to retain or revise the PM NAAQS. EPA will solicit comments from the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee established to review the scientific and technical basis of the NAAQS, and the public several times during the development of the critical documents identified above, including on the ANPRM. The Administrator will propose to retain or revise the PM NAAQS, as appropriate, taking into consideration CASAC and public comment on the ANPRM. Input received during the public comment period for the proposed decision will be considered in the Administrator's final decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Sulfur Dioxide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 require EPA to review and, if appropriate, revise air quality criteria primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) periodically. On May 22, 1996, the EPA published a final decision under section 109(d)(1) that revisions of the primary and secondary NAAQS for sulfur dioxide (SO2) were not appropriate at that time, aside from several minor technical changes. That action provided the Administrator's final determination, after careful evaluation of comments received on the November 1994 proposal, that significant revisions to the primary and the secondary NAAQS for SO2 would not be made at that time. In 2006, the EPA/ORD initiated the current periodic review of SO2 air quality criteria, the scientific basis for the NAAQS, with a call for information in the Federal Register. (This regulatory action is for the Agency's review of the primary SO2 NAAQS. Review of the secondary SO2 NAAQS will be part of a separate regulatory action combined with review of the secondary nitrogen dioxide NAAQS.) The EPA's ORD and OAR will prepare a plan for the primary SO2 NAAQS review, which will be an integrated plan for addressing policy-relevant scientific and technical issues and will include a schedule of the review. Subsequently, an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) will be prepared by ORD. This document will be reviewed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee established to review the scientific and technical basis of the NAAQS, and the public, and will reflect the input received through these reviews. Following completion of the ISA, OAR will prepare and publish an exposure/risk assessment, as appropriate, and an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), that will include a policy assessment reflecting the Agency's views, based on information in the ISA and the exposure/risk report. As the primary SO2 NAAQS review is completed, the Administrator's proposal to retain or revise the SO2 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>National Emissions Standards for Asbestos--Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this action is to explore, through notice and comment rulemaking, the possible modification of the current standard for demolition found under the National Emission Standard for Asbestos (asbestos NESHAP) to include an alternative asbestos control method (AACM).

The standards contained within the asbestos NESHAP cover various potential sources of asbestos emissions, including demolition activities involving "facilities" as that term is defined under the asbestos NESHAP. These standards were first promulgated in 1984 and later amended in 1990. As such, these standards were developed under the legal requirements of section 112 of the CAA prior to the effective date of the 1990 CAA amendments.

Generally, the asbestos NESHAP demolition standard requires the removal of most "regulated asbestos-containing material" (RACM) prior to the actual demolition of a covered facility. In some cases, this significantly adds to the total cost of, and time required for, demolishing a covered facility. In contrast, the AACM allows most of the RACM to remain in the facility during demolition. (There are additional differences between the two methods, most notably in the wetting and disposal provisions associated with each). In April 2006, EPA undertook a research effort that compared the use of the current asbestos NESHAP demolition standard with the use of the AACM process on two architecturally-identical asbestos-containing buildings near Fort Smith, Arkansas. The buildings that were demolished contained significant quantities of asbestos-containing wall systems and vinyl asbestos floor tile. The results of this test, which have been published for public comment and currently are undergoing formal peer review, suggest that the AACM is as protective as the current demolition standard and less expensive to undertake, at least with respect to the test structures that were used and the types of asbestos-containing materials contained therein. A second test was completed in July 2007. The purpose of the second test is to evaluate the alternative demolition method on buildings with transite siding. A third test is planned on a facility with a popcorn ceiling if a suitable site can be found.

As stated, the main objective of this action is to incorporate the AACM into the asbestos NESHAP demolition standard. However, as a result of a December 6, 2006, notice of intent to sue letter alleging, among other things, a failure on the part of EPA to conduct a technology review and a residual risk review pursuant to sections 112(d)(6) and 112(f)(2) of the CAA for the asbestos NESHAP, EPA currently is analyzing the full spectrum of legal requirements under section 112 of the CAA, as amended, to determine what impact such requirements may have on this planned action. The current analysis indicates that, as a minimum, we will have to perform a technology review on the portions of the current NESHAP that apply to building demolition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 require EPA to review and, if appropriate, revise air quality criteria, primary (health-based), and secondary (welfare-based) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) every five years. On October 11, 1995, the EPA published a final rule not to revise either the primary or secondary NAAQS for nitrogen dioxide (NO2). That action provided the Administrator's final determination, after careful evaluation of comments, that revisions to neither the primary nor the secondary NAAQS for NO2 were appropriate at that time. On May 22, 1996, the EPA published a final decision that revisions of the primary and secondary NAAQS for sulfur dioxide (SO2) were not appropriate at that time, aside from several minor technical changes. That action provided the Administrator's final determination, after careful evaluation of comments, that significant revisions to the primary and the secondary NAAQS for SO2 would not be made at that time. On December 9, 2005, the EPA/ORD initiated the current periodic review of NO2 air quality criteria with a call for information in the Federal Register. On May 3, 2006, the EPA/ORD initiated the current periodic review of SO2 air quality criteria with a call for information in the Federal Register. The decision was made to review the secondary standards for NO2 and SO2 jointly while having separate reviews for the primary NO2 (SAN 5111) and primary SO2 (SAN 5163) standards. As part of the review process, the Agency will prepare an Integrated Review Plan, an Integrated Science Assessment, and a Risk/Exposure Assessment. These documents will be reviewed by the public and by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee established to review the scientific and technical basis of the NAAQS. The final documents will reflect the input received through these reviews. EPA will publish an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) that reflects the Agency's policy assessments and views regarding options to retain or revise the NO2 and/or SO2 secondary NAAQS. The Administrator will propose to retain or revise the NO2 and/or SO2 NAAQS, as appropriate,taking into consideration CASAC and public comment on the ANPR. Input received during the public comment period for the proposed decision will be considered in the Administrator's final decision.]]></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. 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>NESHAP: Halogenated Solvent Cleaning--Residual Risk Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Halogenated Solvent Cleaning NESHAP limits emissions of HAP from solvent cleaning machines that use any of the following halogenated solvents: methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1,1,1, - trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, or any combination of these solvents in a total concentration greater than 5 percent by weight. Each individual solvent cleaning machine is an affected source. The Halogenated Solvent Cleaning NESHAP was projected to reduce nationwide emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from halogenated solvent cleaning machines by 85,300 tons per year, or 63 percent of the 1991 baseline emissions of 140,525 tons/year. On December 3, 1999, the rule was amended by adding compliance options for continuous web cleaning machines. Continuous web cleaning machines are considered a subset of in-line cleaning machines and are defined as: "a solvent cleaning machine in which parts such as film, coils, wire, and metal strips are cleaned at speeds typically in excess of 11 feet per minute. Parts are generally uncoiled, cleaned such that the same part is simultaneously entering and exiting the solvent application area of the solvent cleaning machine, and then recoiled or cut." This action is required by the CAA to assess residual risk and develop standards as necessary to provide an ample margin of safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

EPA designations of 39 nonattainment areas for the PM2.5 standards became effective on April 5, 2005. The Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation Rule, which was proposed in the Federal Register on November 1, 2005, includes requirements and guidance for State and local air pollution agencies to follow in developing State implementation plans (SIPs) designed to bring areas into attainment with the 1997 standards. These SIP development activities include technical analyses to identify effective strategies for reducing emissions contributing to PM-2.5 levels, and the adoption of regulations as needed in order to attain the standards. 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Area Source NESHAP for Secondary Nonferrous Metals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the development of standards for area sources which account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 33 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. The secondary nonferrous metals source category includes establishments primarily engaged in recovering nonferrous metals and alloys from new and used scrap and dross or in producing alloys from purchased refined metals. The secondary nonferrous metals source category is listed to address emissions of lead from secondary brass and bronze, secondary zinc, and secondary magnesium furnace operations. The proposed rule does not address secondary nonferrous metals processing for secondary aluminum, lead, copper and mercury. Secondary aluminum and secondary lead are addressed under the NESHAP requirements for area sources; likewise, secondary copper is addressed under the secondary copper NESHAP area source standard; and the secondary mercury standard, a RCRA air rule, regulates secondary mercury operations. Therefore, these operations will not be included under this rule, mercury is not emitted by facilities that are subject to the secondary nonferrous metals processing proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Acrylic/Modacrylic Fibers, Chemical Manufacturing: Chromium Compounds, Flexible Foam Fabrication and Foam Production, Carbon Black Production, Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing, Wood Preserving</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112(k)(3) of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to prepare a comprehensive strategy to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from area sources in urban areas. The strategy must identify at least 30 HAPs that, as the result of emissions from area sources, present the greatest threat to public health in urban areas. The strategy must also identify the source categories that emit the listed urban HAPs. EPA must subject to regulation those listed source categories such that 90 percent of the aggregate emissions of the urban HAPs are subjected to standards. The strategy was published on July 19, 1999, and listed various area source categories emitting at least one of the urban HAPs. EPA eventually listed a total of 70 source categories that collectively account for at least 90 percent of the urban HAPs in urban areas. As such, EPA is required to subject these source categories to regulations issued under section 112(d). Furthermore, EPA has received a court order requiring that the Agency complete the 112(k) mandate by certain dates. Specifically, the court order requires that EPA issue regulations affecting 6 of these area source categories by June 15, 2007. This action will satisfy the second date under this mandate by consolidating activities into one notice for the following 7 source categories: Acrylic Fibers/Modacrylic Fibers Production, Chemical Manufacturing: Chromium Compounds, Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication Operations, Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production, Carbon Black Production, Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing, and Wood Preserving.

These source categories have been selected because our information indicates that one of the following situations apply: 1) There are only 1-2 sources in the source category that are well-controlled and subject to existing regulations and/or permit conditions (Acrylic/Modacrylic Fibers, Chemical Manufacturing: Chromium Chemicals, Carbon Black Production); 2) the urban HAPs emitted from the source category have been eliminated as a result of other regulatory programs (e.g., OSHA) (Flexible Foam Production, Flexible Foam Manufacturing, Wood Preserving); 3) all existing sources within the source category can meet current requirements (e.g., NSPS) that apply to new sources ( Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1997, EPA promulgated revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM-2.5). EPA will be proposing revised NAAQS for PM-2.5 and new standard PM10-2.5 on December 20, 2005. In order to provide insight for the public on what EPA is thinking in regards to implementing the revised standard for PM2.5 and the transition from a PM10 standard to a PM10-2.5 standard, EPA is providing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking. This ANPRM should also provide an opportunity for the public to provide input on the best way to implement these actions. Public comment period will be extended until July 10, 2006. A proposal will be developed after the PM NAAQS are finalized in Sept. 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Renewable Fuels Standard Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the "Act"), signed into law on August 8, 2005, requires EPA to promulgate regulations implementing the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) within one year of enactment. The RFS requires specific volumes of renewable fuel to be in gasoline sold in the U.S. starting with 4.0 billion gal/yr in 2006 up to 7.5 billion gal/yr in 2012. The Act provides that if EPA fails to promulgate regulations within one year, then a default value of 2.78 percent renewable fuel in gasoline will be in effect for 2006. We recently promulgated a rule ("Renewable Fuel Standards Requirements for 2006", 70 FR 77325, December 30, 2005) to implement the default standard. The Agency must complete its obligation under the Act by promulgating a rule that implements the RFS for years 2007 and beyond. Such rule must establish how the renewable fuel standard is defined and calculated, what parties are liable, and how compliance with the standard is to be determined. In addition, the rule must establish a system by which renewable fuel credits can be generated, and traded/sold between parties. This statutory provision is subject to multiple interpretations of key terms. The "Renewable Fuel Standard Requirements for 2006" that we promulgated on December 30, 2005 interprets the default provision so that it can be implemented with certainty in the event EPA fails to promulgate the RFS within 1 year of enactment. It provides for refiners, importers and blenders to meet the 2.78 percent requirement collectively, rather than on an individual basis. Since our projections show that this value is highly likely to be met in 2006 under planned practices of the refining industry, we do not anticipate any impacts on the industry in general, nor any on small businesses. It will have no effect on State, local or tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration, Nonattainment New Source Review, and Title V: Treatment of Corn Milling Facilities Under the &quot;Major Emitting Facility&quot; Definition</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Given widespread concerns about our Nation's fuel supply and Congress's recent recognition of the enormous role that domestically produced ethanol can play in reducing our dependence on foreign oil (by Congress's enactment of the renewable fuels standard in the Energy Policy Act of 2005), EPA will examine the treatment of ethanol production facilities under the New Source Review and title V operating permit programs. Specifically, a source emitting greater than the major source threshold may be subject to New Source Review, operating permits, and other regulations. A source in one of 27 listed source categories (including chemical process plants) has a major source threshold of 100 tons per year. Conversely, sources not in the one of the 27 listed source categories have a major source threshold of 250 tons per year. EPA will determine through this rulemaking whether ethanol production facilities were originally intended to be in the chemical process plants source category when these categories were developed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Revisions to Initial Performance Test Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will extend the time period required for source owners and operators to conduct initial performance tests in response to force majeures. A force majeure is defined as an event caused by circumstances beyond the control of the affected facility, its contractors, or any entity controlled by the affected facility that results in not meeting the regulatory requirement to conduct performance tests within the specified timeframe despite the affected facility's best efforts to fulfill the obligation. Examples of such events are acts of nature, acts of war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety hazard beyond the control of the affected facility. 

We recognize that there may be circumstances beyond a source owner's or operator's control that could cause a performance test deadline to be missed and that we must provide a mechanism for consideration of these circumstances and granting of extensions where warranted. Under current rules, a source owner or operator who is unable to comply with testing requirements within the allotted timeframe due to a force majeure is regarded as being in violation and subject to enforcement action. As a matter of policy, EPA has exercised enforcement discretion to avoid finding such sources in violation. However, because these failures result in circumstances beyond the control of the source owner or operator, we believe that a more reasonable approach is to provide an opportunity to such owners and operators to make good faith demonstrations and obtain extensions of the performance testing deadline in appropriate circumstances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this notice, EPA would announce its decision to reconsider and take additional comment on three provisions in the final Phase 2 8-hour ozone implementation rule: (1) The determination that electric generating units (EGUs) that comply with rules implementing the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and are located in States where all required CAIR emissions reductions are achieved from EGUs meet the 8-hour ozone State implementation plan (SIP) requirement for application of reasonably available control technology (RACT) for nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions; (2) a new source review (NSR) requirement allowing sources to use certain emission reductions as offsets under certain circumstances; and (3) an NSR provision addressing when requirements for the lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) and emission offsets may be waived. These issues are also issues in a petition for judicial review; the court has granted EPA a stay of litigation on these 3 issues until 12/15/06, so the reconsideration action must be completed by then.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Two Optional Methods for Relative Accuracy Test Audits of Mercury Monitoring Systems Installed on Combustion Flue Gas Streams and Amendments to Related Mercury Monitoring Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would add two optional test methods for mercury emissions as well as several related amendments to existing regulatory requirements for monitoring of mercury emissions. Either or both of these methods may then be used at the discretion of the emission source in place of the existing specified method as an alternative means of performing relative accuracy test audits of flue gas mercury continuous emission monitors. Either of these methods is considered to be equal in the quality of the results produced to the existing method. Use of either proposed method is not required, but either may be preferred over the existing method requirement because of decreased costs and more timely results. The amendments are designed to facilitate implementation of the existing mercury monitoring requirements and provide added regulatory flexibility to the affect sources. This action does not change any emission standards or add any additional recordkeeping requirements. This action is in regard to testing and monitoring requirements for mercury specified in the Federal Register on May 18, 2005 (70FR 28606). Since that time EPA has received numerous comments concerning the desirability of allowing use of these optional methods, as they may produce equally acceptable measures of the relative accuracy achieved by mercury monitoring systems. An instrumental test method for mercury and a sorbent trap test method for mercury are being proposed for addition to appendix A of 40 CFR part 63. Their intended use is for the performance of relative accuracy test audits on installed mercury continuous emission monitors. These methods are being proposed so they may be cited as optional alternatives to the current method requirement as noted above. Use of either optional method may be found to be less costly and more timely than the current method requirement, which may still be used.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ambient Air Monitoring Regulations: Correcting and Other Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA recently finalized changes to the ambient air monitoring regulations in 40 CFR parts 50, 53, and 58 in support of revisions to the PM National Ambient Air Quality Standards that were finalized in a concurrent rulemaking. Additional changes were made in monitoring regulations to implement portions of the National Ambient Air Monitoring Strategy, to take advantage of new continuous particulate matter monitoring technological developments, to update quality assurance procedures, and to more accurately reflect the roles of EPA and other control authorities in designing, reviewing, and modifying ambient air networks. Following the publication of the final monitoring rule, several passages containing potentially ambiguously worded rule and/or preamble text were discovered. Additionally, several text blocks pertaining to PM10 monitoring network design were found to be missing, having been inadvertently omitted from the final rule draft. In this Direct Final action, EPA will clarify the specific instances of ambiguous rule wording, restore omitted text, and document Federal Register printing errors in tables and equations that occurred when the final rule was published on October 17, 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update of Continuous Instrumental Test Methods: Technical Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This direct final action amends a rulemaking entitled Update of Continuous Instrumental Test Methods that was promulgated on May 15, 2006. This rulemaking updated, harmonized, and simplified Methods 3A, 6C, 7E, 10, and 20 which measure oxygen, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide emissions from stationary sources. As published, the final rule contains inadvertent errors and created minor unanticipated test situations that need to be clearly addressed. This direct final corrects the errors and clearly explains how the unanticipated situations are handled. These amendments do not make significant changes or add new provisions to the rule nor raise issues that have not been addressed in the public comment period to the updated rule. We are simply correcting errors and clarifying portions to reflect the intent of the rule and make them more understandable by applicable parties.]]></ABSTRACT>

This could provide another alternative to solvents with higher ozone depletion potential that industry is interested in using. Any use conditions would be for the purpose of ensuring that nPB is used in a manner that is safe and environmentally protective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action announces the Administrator's determination under section 183(e) for 3 categories of consumer and commercial products that control techniques guidelines (CTG) are substantially as effective in reducing VOC emissions in ozone nonattainment areas as would national rules for these categories. The proposal will solicit comments on the proposed determinations and will announce draft control technique recommendations for each of the product categories. The final notice will finalize the determination and will announce availability of CTGs covering these categories. There is a court-ordered deadline of September 30, 2007 for the final determination and issuance of CTGs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is taking action to revise the thermal efficiency standard which is part of the cogeneration unit definition under the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), Federal Implementation Plan for CAIR, Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR), and Proposed Federal Plan for CAMR. Units meeting the cogeneration unit definition may be exempt from these rules. Specifically, EPA is revising the thermal efficiency standard in the cogeneration unit definition so that the standard would apply only to the fossil fuel portion of a units energy input. This change to the CAIR, CAIR FIP, CAMR, and proposed CAMR Federal Plan would likely result in exempting some additional cogeneration units from these rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 211(k)(6) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (Act), the Administrator of EPA shall require the sale of reformulated gasoline (RFG) in ozone nonattainment areas upon the application of the Governor of the state in which the nonattainment area is located. EPA received an application July 10, 2006, from the Honorable Rod R. Blagojevich, Governor of the State of Illinois, for the East St. Louis moderate ozone nonattainment area to be included in the reformulated gasoline program. This notice proposes to extend the Act's prohibition against the sale of conventional (i.e., non-reformulated) gasoline in RFG areas to the East St. Louis, Illinois moderate ozone nonattainment area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the FRM for new emission standards for recreational vehicles, we stated our intent to revisit and potentially develop a new exhaust emission test procedure for all terrain vehicles (ATVs). In the interim, an optional steady-state test procedure was allowed through the 2008 model year. In this action, we will extend the period in which the optional test procedure may be used. We will also discuss the current state of the evaluation of a potential new ATV test procedure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final for BIN 1 Area Source rules (NESHAP for Area Sources: Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers Production, Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, Primary Nonferrous Metals (Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium)) were published January 23, 2007. We are preparing direct final amendments, with a parallel proposal, to the NESHAP for Primary Copper Smelting and Secondary Copper Smelting. The amendments to the primary copper smelting NESHAP clarify the operating conditions when the plant must control process off gases from a smelting vessel and add wet scrubbers to the list of air pollution control devices that can be used. The other amendments for the secondary copper smelting correct cross referencing and numbering errors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Future Testing for Existing Chemicals (Overview Entry)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 4 of TSCA gives EPA the authority to require chemical manufacturers and processors to test existing chemicals. Under Section 4, EPA can by rule require testing after finding that (1) a chemical may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment, and/or the chemical is produced and enters the environment in substantial quantities or there is or may be significant or substantial human exposure to the chemical; (2) the available data to evaluate the chemical are inadequate; and (3) testing is needed to develop the needed data. The Chemical Testing Program in EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) also works with members of the U.S. chemical industry to develop needed data via TSCA section 4 Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs) and Voluntary Testing Agreements (VTAs). ECAs and VTAs are usually less resource intensive than formal TSCA rule-making and allow EPA to consider agreed-upon pollution prevention and other types of product stewardship initiatives by the chemical industry as a possible substitute for or adjunct to certain types of needed testing. For chemicals that have been designated for priority testing consideration by the Interagency Testing Committee (ITC) the Agency will consider whether to require testing of the chemical through rulemaking or ECA or will publish a notice which provides the reasons for not doing so in the case of a particular chemical (such reasons may involve the existence of a VTA). The Agency may also consider test rules, ECAs or VTAs for chemicals or categories of chemicals which have been identified for testing consideration by other Federal or other EPA offices through EPA review processes. This regulatory agenda entry is considered a "generic entry" because it is intended to alert the public that within the next 6 months the Agency may consider other chemicals for test rules, ECAs or VTAs that are not yet identified. A separate activity specific entry will be included in the regulatory agenda once the Agency decides to develop a test rule, ECA or VTA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP); Implementing the Screening and Testing Phase</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 408(p) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act, directs EPA to establish and implement a program whereby industry will be required to screen and test all pesticide chemicals to determine whether certain substances may have an effect in humans that is similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring estrogen, or such other endocrine effect as the Administrator may designate. The requirements of Section 408(p) were implemented through the creation of the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) in 1998. The EDSP has the following three components that are proceeding simultaneously: 1) developing and validating assays; 2) setting chemical testing priorities; and 3) establishing 408(p) testing orders and related data procedures. A Federal Advisory Committee Act committee has provided advice to the EDSP on assay development and validation. For chemical testing priorities, the approach to selecting the first 50-100 chemicals was finalized in September 2005 (70 FR 56449) and EPA implemented that approach. EPA published a draft list of 73 pesticide active ingredients and high production volume (HPV) pesticide inert chemicals for initial screening in June 2007 (72 FR 33486). EPA intends to commence Tier 1 screening of the first group of pesticide chemicals by issuing test orders under FFDCA section 408(p) to chemical companies identified as the manufacturer or processor of the identified chemicals, including the pesticide registrant. EPA is developing a draft implementation policy that will describe the procedures that EPA will use to issue orders, the procedures that order recipients would use to respond to the order, how data protection and compensation will be addressed in the test orders, and other related procedures or policies.]]></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. 346a)(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 USC sec 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 USC sec 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 USC sec 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 the 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, a preliminary rough estimate by industry indicated a cost of $200,000 per chemical. It is also too early to quantify the benefits of this program quantitatively. The goal of the program is to reduce the risks identified 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 an endocrine mediated pathway. Epidemiological studies on the associations between chemical exposures and adverse endocrine changes continue to evaluate this problem in humans. Wildlife effects have been more thoroughly documented. Abnormalities in birds, marine mammals, fish, amphibians, alligators, and shellfish have been documented in the U.S., Europe, Japan, Canada, and Australia which have been linked to specific chemical exposures. Evidence is sufficient for the U.S. to proceed on a two track strategy: Research on the basic science regarding endocrine disruption and screening with validated assays to identify which chemicals are capable of interacting with the endocrine system. The combination of research and test data submitted in this program will enable EPA to take action to reduce risks.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nanoscale Materials Under TSCA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Nanoscale materials are chemical substances containing structures on the scale of approximately 1 to 100 nanometers, and may have different molecular organizations and properties than the same chemical substances on a larger scale. Because such materials may have novel properties and present novel issues, evaluating and managing health and environmental risks of nanoscale materials poses a new challenge. Under the Toxic Substances Control Act, EPA has the authority to require the development of data necessary for the assessment of chemical substances and mixtures from persons that manufacture or process them when statutory findings concerning (1) production volume and exposure/entry into the environment or (2) potential hazard can be made, and to prevent and eliminate unreasonable risk of injury to human health and environment from chemical substances and mixtures. The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) is establishing a voluntary program to assemble existing data and information from manufacturers and processors of certain nanoscale materials. With this assembled material, EPA will take appropriate steps to protect human health and the environment from unreasonable risk from these substances. In October 2006 EPA announced a collaborative process to design a nanoscale material stewardship program inviting 500 organizations and agencies to participate. On July 12, 2007, the Agency published a document that describes specific elements regarding a voluntary stewardship program for nanoscale materials, a proposed information collection request, and a paper that describes determining the TSCA inventory status of nanoscale materials. In addition, EPA conducted a public meeting on August 2 to receive oral comments on the stewardship program and the published documents. A notice announcing the stewardship program including final versions of any documents is scheduled to be published in February, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Nonylphenol (NP) and Its Ethoxylates (NPE)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In June 2007, EPA received a petition under section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requesting that EPA require manufacturers and importers of nonylphenol (NP) and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) to conduct certain health and safety studies under TSCA section 4. Based on its review of the information submitted in support of the petition, additional information obtained by EPA, and public comments, EPA granted the request to initiate a proceeding to require chronic aquatic toxicity testing. In order to develop a properly tailored test requirement that would provide EPA with sufficient data to make a reasoned evaluation of the environmental effects of NPEs, EPA will commence the proceeding by issuing an ANPRM that solicits public comment on several testing issues prior to the issuance of a proposed rule. In that ANPRM, EPA also intends to request public comment on potential additional testing related to certain of the other section 4 requests for NP and NPEs raised in the petition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is issuing test rules under section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to 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) that have not been sponsored under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program. Although varied based on specific data needs for the particular chemical, the data generally collected under these rules 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. When finalized on March 16, 2006, the number of chemicals included in the first final rule was reduced to 17 based on new information on annual production volumes, worker exposure, and commitments to the voluntary HPV Challenge Program. Subsequent test rules, including a proposed rule scheduled to be published in spring of 2008 are expected to require similar screening level testing for additional unsponsored HPV Challenge Program chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Prior to inception of the HPV Challenge Program, in 1998, EPA found that, of those non-polymeric organic substances produced or imported in amounts equal to or greater than 1 million pounds per year based on 1990 reporting for EPA's Inventory Update Rule (IUR), only 7 percent had a full set of publicly available internationally recognized basic health and environmental fate/effects screening test data. Of the over 2,800 HPV chemicals based on 1990 data, 43% had no publicly available basic hazard data. For the remaining chemicals, limited amounts of the data were available. This lack of available hazard data compromised the ability of EPA and others to determine whether these HPV chemicals pose potential risks to human health or the environment, as well as the public's right-to-know about the hazards of chemicals that are found in their environment, their homes, their workplaces, and the products that they buy. On April 21, 1998, a national initiative, known as the Chemical Right-To-Know (ChemRTK) Initiative, was announced by EPA. This Initiative is designed to collect and, where needed, develop the basic screening level toxicity and fate data that are necessary to provide the information needed to assess the potential hazards/risks that may be posed by exposure to HPV chemicals. A primary component of the ChemRTK Initiative is the voluntary HPV Challenge Program, which was created in cooperation with industry, environmental groups, and other interested parties, and is designed to assemble basic screening level test data on the potential hazards and fate of HPV chemicals. Since the inception of the HPV Challenge Program in 1998, industry chemical manufacturers and importers have participated in the Challenge Program by sponsoring 2,250 chemicals with sponsorship by more that 350 companies and 100 consortia. EPA is in the process of developing hazard characterizations based on the data received to date under the Challenge Program. Data needs which remain unmet in either the voluntary HPV Challenge Program or through complementary international efforts (i.e., the OECD SIDS HPV Program and the International Council of Chemical Associations) may be addressed through rulemaking under TSCA section 4.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[These test rules would be issued under section 4(a)(1)(B) of TSCA. Section 2(b)(1) of TSCA states that it is the policy of the United States that "adequate data should be developed with respect to the effect of chemical substances and mixtures on health and the environment and that the development of such data should be the responsibility of those who manufacture [which is defined by statute to include import] and those who process such chemical substances and mixtures[.]" To implement this policy, TSCA section 4(a) mandates that EPA require by rule that manufacturers and processors of chemical substances and mixtures conduct testing if the Administrator finds that: (1)(A)(i) the manufacture, distribution in commerce, processing, use, or disposal of a chemical substance or mixture, or that any combination of such activities, may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, (ii) there are insufficient data and experience upon which the effects of such manufacture, distribution in commerce, processing, use, or disposal of such substance or mixture or of any combination of such activities on health or the environment can reasonably be determined or predicted, and (iii) testing of such substance or mixture with respect to such effects is necessary to develop such data; or (B)(i) a chemical substance or mixture is or will be produced in substantial quantities, and (I) it enters or may reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial quantities or (II) there is or may be significant or substantial human exposure to such substance or mixture, (ii) there are insufficient data and experience upon which the effects of the manufacture, distribution in commerce, processing, use, or disposal of such substance or mixture or of any combination of such activities on health or the environment can reasonably be determined or predicted, and (iii) testing of such substance or mixture with respect to such effects is necessary to develop such data.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The strategy and overall approach that EPA is using to address data collection needs for U.S. HPV chemicals includes a voluntary component (the HPV Challenge Program), certain international efforts, and these rulemakings under TSCA. The issuance of a rulemaking is often the Agency's final mechanism for obtaining this important information.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The potential benefits of these test rules are substantial. For those chemical substances included in these rules, EPA believes that there are insufficient data to reasonably determine or predict their effects on health or the environment. EPA believes that the internationally recognized basic health and environmental fate/effects screening testing that would be required in these rules would provide critical information needed to conduct screening level characterizations of the health and environmental hazards of these substances. This information, when combined with information about exposure and uses, will allow the Agency and others to evaluate the potential health and environmental risks of these substances and to take appropriate follow up action. The cost of the baseline screening testing laboratory costs that would be imposed is estimated to be about $300,000 per chemical for a full set of tests. It is unlikely, however, for a chemical to need a full set of tests, which would only occur if none of the data in question already exists.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Agency is in the process of updating its data requirements for pesticides. Since the current data requirements were first published in 1984, the information needed to support the registration of a pesticide has evolved along with the expanding knowledge base of pesticide chemical technology. Over the years, revisions and updates to the data requirements have been applied on a case-by-case basis. In 2007, the Agency promulgated data requirements for conventional, and biochemical and microbial pesticide chemicals. As part of this action, the 1984 data requirements were transferred intact to part 161 to provide continued regulatory coverage for antimicrobial pesticides until the Agency can promulgate a final regulation. This rule will update and revise the existing data requirements for antimicrobial pesticide products. These revisions build upon those previously proposed for conventional chemicals, but are tailored to the specific data needs of antimicrobial pesticides. The revisions will provide stakeholders with greater transparency and clarity to determine the data needed for an antimicrobial pesticide product without having extensive consultations with the Agency, more focused use patterns that reflect current practice, and a more efficient registration process. When the Agency promulgates the revised data requirements in part 158 subpart W, the current data requirements in part 161 will be removed.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Agency is required by its various statutory mandates to establish data requirements that support its regulatory decisions. The Agency re-evaluates those data requirements in light of scientific advances, analytical improvements, and new technology, to provide a sound scientific basis for those decisions. On a case by case basis, the Agency considers whether alternative regulatory methods, such as restrictions on use, would obviate the need for data, and explores means of introducing flexibility and clarity to reduce burdens on the regulated community. For this rule, EPA will analyze keeping the current data requirements as specified in part 161, using the data requirements promulgated for conventional chemicals, and promulgating new data requirements specifically for antimicrobials.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Agency is conducting an economic analysis to support the rule. Anticipated benefits include less uncertainty and clearer understanding of the actual risk, increased clarity and transparency to the regulated community, improved scientific basis for pesticide regulatory decisions, and enhanced international harmonization with less duplication of data. The increased costs of the rule are estimated as greater than $3 million /year for the 72 companies that hold registrations or have applied for a registration for an antimicrobial product.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The revisions to the data requirements to be proposed, like the existing requirements in part 158, would require an applicant for pesticide registration to supply the Agency with information on the pesticide: composition, toxicity, potential human exposure, environmental properties and ecological effects, and, in certain cases, efficacy. This information is used to assess the human health and environmental risks associated with the product. The data that will be required by this regulation are the foundation of EPA's risk assessment for antimicrobial pesticides, and provide a sound scientific basis for any licensing decisions that impose requirements that mitigate or reduce risks. Under FIFRA, the applicant for registration must demonstrate to the Agency's satisfaction that the pesticide product will not cause "unreasonable adverse effects" to humans or to the environment.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In support of the residential upholstered furniture (RUF) flammability standards under consideration by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), EPA would propose a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) covering certain flame retardant chemicals that may be used in RUF to meet the RUF Flammability Standard. The SNUR would require companies intending to import, manufacture, or process these chemicals for use as a flame retardant in RUF to submit a significant new use notice (SNUN) to the Agency at least 90 days prior to beginning those activities. The required notice will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate their use as flame retardant chemicals in RUF, and if necessary to prohibit or limit such activity before it occurs to prevent any unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA Inventory Nomenclature for Enzymes and Proteins</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) issued in November 2004, EPA announced and sought comment on whether it should establish new procedures and regulations for naming enzymes and proteins when listing such substances on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Chemical Substances Inventory (TSCA Inventory). The ANPRM outlined four identification elements that EPA currently believes are appropriate for use in developing unique TSCA Inventory nomenclature for proteinaceous enzymes. The Agency also solicited public comment on several specific questions relating to this topic. EPA is currently evaluating the comments received and is developing a proposed rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effects of Transfers of Ownership on Obligations Under Section 5 of TSCA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Companies frequently transfer ownership or other rights with respect to a chemical substance to a different company or person. These transfers may have regulatory implications because of the transferor's earlier submittal under the Toxic Substances Control Act (the "Act") of a premanufacture notice, a significant new use notice, or an exemption notice to EPA for the chemical substance. Either prior to or after commencing the manufacture of the chemical substance, the company may want to transfer the right to manufacture the chemical substance to a new company as part of a merger, corporate reorganization or other business transaction. The Act can be interpreted as requiring the transferee of a right to manufacture to submit a new premanufacture notice to the Agency, because the transferee is a new person. However, the Agency has not always required the transferee to submit a new notice and has allowed the transferee to manufacture the chemical substance under the original company's authorization. Because there are no rules or formal guidance concerning the procedure for transferring rights to manufacture, this issue has not been addressed in a clear and consistent manner. Furthermore, it is not clear if a transferee of a right to manufacture is liable under the Act to the same extent as the transferor. Therefore, to clarify these issues, EPA proposes to adopt a rule to accomplish several purposes: (1) To provide a clear procedural mechanism to facilitate the transfer of rights to manufacture to new persons; (2) to require the transferee to specifically assume all of the legal obligations associated with the transferred right to manufacture; and (3) to provide notice to the Agency of a proposed transfer of a right to manufacture, thereby allowing the Agency to engage in more meaningful compliance monitoring.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Competency Standards for Occupational Users</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA is proposing change to federal regulations guiding the certified pesticide applicator program (40 CFR 171). Change is sought to strengthen the regulations to better protect pesticide applicators and the public and the environment from harm due to pesticide exposure. Changes may include having certain occupational users of pesticides demonstrate competency by meeting minimum competency requirements. The need for change arose from EPA discussions with key stakeholders. EPA has been in extensive discussions with stakeholders since 1997 when the Certification and Training Assessment Group (CTAG) was established. CTAG is a forum used by regulatory and academic stakeholders to discuss the current state of, and the need for improvements in, the national certified pesticide applicator program. Throughout these extensive interactions with stakeholders, EPA has learned of the need for changes to the regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The regulations governing the Federal and State certification of pesticide applicators, 40 CFR part 171, were originally promulgated in 1974. Since that time State certification programs have gone beyond the Federal regulations in a number of areas. The need for change arose from EPA discussions with key stakeholders. EPA has been in extensive discussions with stakeholders since 1997 when the Certification and Training Assessment Group (CTAG) was established. CTAG is a forum used by regulatory and academic stakeholders to discuss the current state of, and the need for improvements in, the national certified pesticide applicator program. Throughout these extensive interactions with stakeholders, EPA has learned of the need for changes to the regulation.  Stakeholders identified the need for a minimum standard of competency for all occupational users of pesticides as well as the establishment of standards for determination of applicator competency and continued competency.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification on TSCA Inventory Status of Activated Phosphors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is clarifying the chemical identification of activated phosphors for purposes of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory). When an activated phosphor chemical is electrically excited, it emits light and the chemicals are then used in applications such as televisions, identifying counterfeit bills, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Specifically, the Agency is clarifying that an activated phosphor not currently listed on the TSCA Inventory is considered a new chemical under TSCA. Prior to initiating the manufacture or import of a new chemical, TSCA sec. 5 requires a company to submit a premanufacture notice (PMN) to EPA. Apparently the Inventory status of activated phosphors has not been well understood by industry and several firms have initiated the manufacture of activated phosphor materials that are not listed on the TSCA Inventory without having submitted the required PMN. EPA intends to seek public comment on draft interpretation in this area to ensure that the necessary clarity is provided.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Agricultural Worker Protection Standard Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA is developing a proposal to revise the federal regulations guiding agricultural worker protection (40 CFR 170). The changes under consideration are intended to improve agricultural workers' ability to protect themselves from potential exposure to pesticides and pesticide residues. In addition, EPA is proposing to make adjustments to improve and clarify current requirements and facilitate enforcement. Other changes sought are to establish a right-to-know Hazard Communication program and make improvements to pesticide safety training, with improved worker safety the intended outcome. The need for change arose from EPA discussions with key stakeholders beginning in 1996 and continuing through 2004. EPA held nine public meetings throughout the country during which the public submitted written and verbal comments on issues of their concern. In 2000 through 2004, EPA held meetings where invited stakeholders identified their issues and concerns with the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA intends to propose codifying data requirements for the pesticide registration of plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs). These data requirements are intended to provide EPA with data and other information necessary for the registration of PIPs. These requirements would improve the Agencys ability to make regulatory decisions about the human health and environmental effects of these products. By codifying data requirements specific to PIPs, the regulated community would have a better understanding of and could better prepare for the registration process. This proposed rule is one in a series of proposals to update and clarify pesticide data requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[There are currently no separate data requirements for plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs), a new type of pesticide first registered in the mid-1990s. Instead, the Agency has relied on the microbial pesticide data requirements tailored on a case-by-case basis. The information needed to support the registration of a PIP has evolved along with the expanding knowledge base of pesticide chemical technology. When established, these data requirements will reflect current scientific knowledge and understanding. Establishing these data requirements will provide stakeholders with greater transparency and clarity to determine the data needed for PIP pesticide product without having extensive consultations with the Agency and a more efficient registration process. Further, establishing these data requirements will improve the Agency's ability to make regulatory decisions about human health and environmental effects of PIP pesticides to better protect wildlife, the environment and people.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The final rule will describe data and information needed to support multiple pesticide mandates under two statutes: the registration, reregistration, registration review, and experimental use permit programs under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the tolerance-setting and reassessment program under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). These programs are authorized under FIFRA sections 3, 4, and 5 and FFDCA sec 408.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Agency is required by its various statutory mandates to establish data requirements that support its regulatory decisions. On a case-by-case basis, the Agency considers whether alternative regulatory methods would obviate the need for data and explores the means of introducing flexibility and clarity to reduce burdens on the regulated community. For this rule, EPA will analyze several scenarios including establishing data requirements tailored specifically to PIP pesticides, not establishing any data requirements, and remaining status quo with relying on the microbial pesticide data requirements tailored on a case-by-case basis.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Agency is conducting an economic analysis to support this rule. Anticipated benefits include greater certainty and clearer understanding of the actual risk, increased clarity and transparency to the regulated community, improved scientific basis for pesticide regulatory decisions, and enhanced international harmonization with less duplication of data. However, since this rulemaking is currently under Agency workgroup discussion, the specific costs and benefits of the action have not yet been determined. The Agency expects this rule to result in decreased illness and death resulting from pesticide exposure.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The proposed revisions to the data requirements, like the existing requirements in part 158, would require an applicant for pesticide registration to supply the Agency with information on the pesticide: Composition, toxicity, potential human exposure, environmental properties, and ecological effects. This information is used to assess the human health and environmental risks associated with the product. The data that will be required by this regulation form the foundation of EPA's risk assessment for pesticides, and provide a sound scientific basis for any licensing decisions that impose requirements that mitigate or reduce risks, and that ensure that pesticide resides in food meet the "reasonable certainty of no harm" risk standard of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations To Facilitate Compliance With the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act by Producers of Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs) are pesticidal substances intended to be produced and used in living plants and the genetic material needed for their production. EPA has been regulating PIPs under FIFRA, including issuing experimental use permits and commercial registrations, for over ten years, with the first commercial registration of a PIP under FIFRA issued in 1995. On July 19, 2001, EPA published rules establishing much of the current regulatory structure for PIPs. This rulemaking effort is intended to address the issues that were not addressed in 2001, including defining the nature of regulated production of PIPs and associated issues such as reporting, product labeling and recordkeeping. The rule will affect those persons who produce PIPs and is expected to clarify the legal requirements of their products at various production phases, improving their ability to conduct business. It is expected to also improve the ability of the EPA to identify and respond to instances where there are potentially significant violations. EPA also intends to address activities that the Agency does not believe warrant regulation and will consider exempting those activities, as appropriate, from FIFRA in whole or in part.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is determining the regulatory status of a specific type of protein that may arise as a result of inserting genetic material into a plant to produce a plant-incorporated protectant (PIP), e.g., (1) transgene/plant-fusion protein--a protein produced from a fusion of PIP genetic material with plant genetic material; and (2) transgene/transgene-fusion protein - a protein produced from an internal rearrangement within the PIP genetic material. This type of protein called a Plant-Incorporated Protectant--Fusion Protein (PIP-FP), and the genetic material necessary to produce it, should be considered part of the PIP and thus regulated by EPA under FIFRA and FFDCA section 408. PIP-FPs can occur during the insertional event when a genetic construct becomes integrated into the genome in such a way that some regulatory control regions are lost or genetic information fused.]]></ABSTRACT>

In instances where no such determination is made and no consent order is issued under section 5(e) of TSCA, EPA may issue Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) requiring 90-day notification to EPA from any manufacturer, importer, or processor who would engage in activities that are designated as significant new uses. Under the Expedited Follow-up Rule (EFUR) which became effective on October 12, 1989, EPA will identify such new chemicals and publish them in a batch SNUR 3-4 times per year. Chemicals that were subject to a proposed SNUR before the effective date of the EFUR or do not qualify under the EFUR, may be regulated individually by notice and comment rulemaking and are listed below.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 full notice and comment procedures and are listed below.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Certain Chemicals on the ATSDR Priority List of Hazardous Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing a test rule under section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requiring manufacturers and processors of four chemicals to fulfill data needs identified by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) 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 U.S.C. 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>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. EPA intends to publish a notice withdrawing the proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA; Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RCFs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has instituted a program to monitor the commercial development of existing chemicals of concern and/or to gather information to support risk assessments on such chemicals including Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RCFs). RCFs are amorphous synthetic fibers that part of larger group called synthetic vitreous fibers (SVFs). RCFs are made by either "spinning" or "blowing" and are used primarily for high temperature industrial insulation purposes (e.g., furnaces, heaters, kilns) in addition to automotive applications, aerospace uses, and in certain other industrial applications. As chemicals of potential concern are identified, EPA will initiate rulemakings under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) sections 5 and/or 6 to require reporting by the manufacturers, importers and/or processors of these chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Groundwater and Pesticide Management Plan Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As proposed, this regulation would have established 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 were reconsidered to determine whether the program could address water quality issues rather than ground-water only, and to determine the best partnership approach to implementation. During this period, the risk level associated with the named pesticides was reexamined and reduced. Moreover, since the proposal in 1996, many States have adopted the original concept and framework of Pesticide Management Plans and these programs are operational today. This experience and growth in knowledge has exceeded the requirements and specifications of the original proposal. Accordingly, EPA intends to withdraw the proposed rule in the near future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead-Based Paint; Amendments for Renovation, Repair and Painting</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2008, EPA will continue its work towards the Administration goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning as a national health concern by 2010 by implementing a comprehensive program to address lead-based paint hazards associated with renovation, repair and painting activities. The program will be comprised of a combination of approaches including regulations, and an extensive education and outreach campaign that will include elements specifically designed for industry and consumers. Industry outreach will include dissemination of information regarding the regulation, lead-safe work practices, and training opportunities. Consumer outreach will be designed to expand consumer awareness, and create demand for the use of lead-safe work practices. EPA plans to finalize and begin implementation of the Renovation, Repair and Painting Program regulations in 2008. EPA proposed these regulations on January 10, 2006 and amended that proposal on June 5, 2007 to include child occupied facilities within the scope of the rule. The regulation should minimize the introduction of lead hazards resulting from the disturbance of lead-based paint during renovation, repair, and painting activities. The regulations would require contractors conducting renovation, repair and painting activities in most target housing and child occupied facilities to be trained, certified, and to follow work practice standards designed to minimize the creation of lead hazards.]]></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 renovation, repairs and painting activities will do so in a way that safeguards the environment and protects the health of building occupants, especially children under 6 years old.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This regulation is mandated by TSCA section 402(c). TSCA Section 402(c) directs EPA to address renovation and remodeling activities by first conducting a study of the extent to which persons engaged in various types of renovation and remodeling activities are exposed to lead in the conduct of such activities or disturb lead and create a lead-based paint hazard on a regular basis. Section 402(c) further directs the Agency to revise the lead-based paint activities regulations (40 CFR part 745 subpart L) to apply to renovation, remodeling or painting activities that create lead-based paint hazards.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[EPA is considering alternatives including on the job training for renovation workers, the use of test kits to determine the presence of lead paint, and the use of a cleaning verification protocol to determine if a job site is sufficiently clean. 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 economic analysis provides quantitative cost estimates for the training, certification, and work practices required by the rule. The economic analysis provides quantitative benefits estimates for avoided incidence of IQ loss due to reduced lead exposures to children under the age of 6, and a qualitative discussion of other avoided adverse health effects in children and adults. The economic analysis of the final rule will incorporate new information characterizing lead levels in dust and soil after renovation, repair, and painting activities, and a new modeling approach to estimate the resultant blood lead and IQ loss in children under the age of 6.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule is 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. 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>Voluntary High Production Volume (HPV) Chemical Challenge Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[One of the key components of the Chemical Right-to-Know (ChemRTK) Initiative is the HPV Challenge Program. The goal of this program is to ensure that a baseline set of health and environmental effects data on approximately 2,800 high production volume (HPV) chemicals is made available to EPA and the public. U.S. HPV chemicals are industrial chemicals that are manufactured or imported into the United States in volumes of 1 million pounds or more per year. U.S. Manufacturers and importers of HPV chemicals were invited to voluntarily sponsor chemicals in the HPV Challenge Program. Sponsorship entails the identification and initial assessment of the adequacy of existing information, the conduct of new testing only if adequate information does not exist, and making the new and existing test results available to the public. The Agency is considering specific chemicals which are not voluntarily sponsored in the HPV Challenge Program as candidates for rules under section 4 and 8 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Although this Initiative is not a rulemaking, EPA has included it in the Regulatory Agenda to inform the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Premanufacture Notification Exemptions; Revisions of Exemptions for Polymers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 7, 2006, EPA proposed an amendment to the Polymer Exemption Rule, which provides an exemption from the premanufacture notification (PMN) requirements of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The proposed amendment would exclude from eligibility polymers containing as an integral part of their composition, except as impurities, certain perfluoroalkyl moieties consisting of a CF3- or longer chain length. This proposed exclusion includes polymers that contain any one or more of the following: Perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFAS); perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFAC); fluorotelomers; or perfluoroalkyl moieties that are covalently bound to either a carbon or sulfur atom where the carbon or sulfur atom is an integral part of the polymer molecule. If finalized as proposed, any person who intends to manufacture (or import) any of these polymers not already on the TSCA Inventory would have to complete the TSCA premanufacture review process prior to commencing the manufacture or import of such polymers. EPA believes this proposed change to the current regulation is necessary because, based on recent information, EPA can no longer conclude that these polymers will not present an unreasonable risk to human health or the environment, which is the determination necessary to support an exemption under TSCA, such as the Polymer Exemption Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Testing Agreement for Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[PFOA is a synthetic (man-made) chemical that does not occur naturally in the environment. EPA identified data gaps regarding the sources and exposure pathways of PFOA and is seeking additional data concerning the potential relationship between fluoropolymer and fluorotelomer based polymer chemicals and PFOA. EPA has invited interested parties to monitor and participate in negotiations for developing several industry sponsored testing programs concerning fluoropolymers and fluorotelomer based polymers which may metabolize or degrade to PFOA. These testing programs would be set in place preferably as publicly negotiated enforceable consent agreements (ECAs) under section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) among EPA, industry, and interested parties under section 4 of TSCA, but may also be established as negotiated memoranda of understanding (MOUs) where circumstances preclude moving forward under ECAs. The goal of the PFOA ECA process is to better understand the sources and exposure pathways leading to the presence of PFOA in humans and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Testing Agreement for Diethanolamine</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 4 of TSCA gives EPA the authority to require chemical manufacturers and processors to test existing chemicals. Under section 4, EPA can by rule require testing after finding that (1) a chemical may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment, and/or the chemical is produced in substantial quantities and enters the environment in substantial quantities or there is or may be significant or substantial human exposure to the chemical; (2) the available data to evaluate the chemical are inadequate; and (3) testing is necessary to develop the needed data. The Chemical Testing Program in EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) also works with members of the U.S. chemical industry to develop needed data via TSCA Section 4 Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs) and Voluntary Testing Agreements (VTAs). ECAs and VTAs are usually less resource intensive than formal TSCA rule-making and allow EPA to consider agreed-upon pollution prevention and other types of product stewardship initiatives by the chemical industry as a possible substitute for or adjunct to certain types of needed testing. EPA proposed health effects testing under TSCA section 4(a) for a number of hazardous air pollutants ("HAPs"), including diethanolamine (61 FR 33178, June 26, 1996 (FRL-4869-1), as amended by 62 FR 67466, December 24, 1997 (FRL-5742-2). In the proposed HAPs test rule, as amended, EPA invited the submission of proposals for developing needed HAPs data via ECAs, including developing pharmacokinetics studies that would permit extrapolation from oral data to predict risk from inhalation exposure. In response to EPA's request for proposals for ECAs, the Alkanolamines Panel submitted a proposal on November 25, 1996, for alternative testing involving PK studies. ORD/NCEA performed a technical analysis of the proposal in November of 1997. A public meeting was held on February 24, 1998. The Alkanolamines Panel of ACC has submitted three update letters, one in April 1999, one in May of 2003 and one in January of 2005. Under this action, EPA will continue negotiations to develop an ECA that will provide health effects testing sufficient to meet the data needs specified in the proposed HAPs section 4 test rule, as amended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Testing Agreement for Hydrogen Fluoride</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 4 of TSCA gives EPA the authority to require chemical manufacturers and processors to test existing chemicals. Under sction 4, EPA can by rule require testing after finding that (1) a chemical may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment, and/or the chemical is produced in substantial quantities and enters the environment in substantial quantities or there is or may be significant or substantial human exposure to the chemical; (2) the available data to evaluate the chemical are inadequate; and (3) testing is necessary to develop the needed data. The Chemical Testing Program in EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) also works with members of the U.S. chemical industry to develop needed data via TSCA Section 4 Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs) and Voluntary Testing Agreements (VTAs). ECAs and VTAs are usually less resource intensive than formal TSCA rule-making and allow EPA to consider agreed-upon pollution prevention and other types of product stewardship initiatives by the chemical industry as a possible substitute for or adjunct to certain types of needed testing. EPA proposed health effects testing under TSCA section 4(a) for a number of hazardous air pollutants ("HAPs"), including hydrogen fluoride (61 FR 33178, June 26, 1996 (FRL-4869-1), as amended by 62 FR 67466, December 24, 1997 (FRL-5742-2). In the proposed HAPs test rule, as amended, EPA invited the submission of proposals for developing needed HAPs data via ECAs, including developing pharmacokinetics studies that would permit extrapolation from oral data to predict risk from inhalation exposure. In response to EPA's request for proposals for ECAs, the Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) Panel submitted a proposal for alternative testing involving PK studies for HF on November 27, 1996. EPA responded to this proposal by letter on June 26, 1997, indicating that this approach could offer sufficient merit to proceed with ECA negotiations. Under this action, EPA will continue negotiations to develop an ECA for health effects testing sufficient to meet the data needs specified in the proposed HAPs section 4 test rule, as amended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is revising the pesticide crop grouping regulations to create new crop groupings, add new subgroups, and expand existing crop groups by adding new commodities. EPA expects these revisions to promote greater use of crop grouping for tolerance-setting purposes and to facilitate the availability of pesticides for minor crop uses. This proposal is the first one in a series of proposals for revisions to crop grouping regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule for Chloranil</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Chloranil is used as a basic feedstock for certain dyes and pigments and in the production of rubber tires. Chloranil was one of the chemicals identified for testing in the Dioxin/Furan (D/F) test rule. Early testing results revealed that dioxin levels in Chloranil could vary by more than two orders of magnitude depending on the chemical manufacturing process involved. It appeared that the low dioxin manufacturing process could produce Chloranil with dioxin contamination levels below 20 ppb TEQ. Based on this information, EPA entered into a formal agreement with Chloranil importers (there was no domestic production of high dioxin Chloranil) to only import Chloranil made through the low dioxin process. As a follow up to this agreement, a Chloranil Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) was proposed in 1993. Under the provisions of the draft SNUR any Chloranil imported or domestically produced with dioxin contamination levels greater than 20 ppb TEQ would be considered a new use and require reporting under section 5(a)(1)(A) of the Toxic Substances Control Act. In the SNUR proposal EPA stated that it would not promulgate a final rule until it had all of the D/F test rule data. EPA accepted the final test rule data in June of 2001. The test rule requirements continue to apply to any new manufacturer or importer of Chloranil. No new importer or manufacturer has identified themselves, although EPA has received inquiries from time to time about the applicability of the test rule to new imports. OPPT therefore believes that all importation of Chloranil is still covered under the formal agreements and that there is no current import or domestic manufacture of high dioxin Chloranil. Because a significant time has passed since proposal OPPT is considering the options of reproposing the rule, and proceeding directly to developing a final rule.]]></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 15 chemicals have been evaluated in the peer consultation process. Information on VCCEP and the chemical assessments submitted to date are available to the public at www.epa.gov/chemrtk/vccep/index.htm. 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>Asbestos Model Accreditation Plan Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Reauthorization Act (ASHARA) amended TSCA to require that EPA revise its asbestos model accreditation plan (MAP) to extend training and accreditation requirements to include persons performing certain asbestos-related work in public or commercial buildings, to increase the minimum number of training hours required for accreditation purposes, and to effect other changes necessary to implement the amendments. On February 3, 1994, EPA issued an interim final rule to revise the asbestos MAP to clarify the types of persons who must be accredited to work with asbestos in schools and public or commercial buildings; to increase the minimum number of hours of training for asbestos abatement workers and contractor/supervisors, including additional hours of hands-on health and safety training; and to effect a variety of other necessary changes as mandated by section 15(a)(3) of the ASHARA. This interim final rule satisfied the statutory deadline. EPA will continue to consider finalizing the MAP rule and/or promulgating regulatory revisions to sunset current EPA MAP accreditations granted to training providers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 mandates EPA promulgate regulations governing lead-based paint (LBP) activities to ensure that individuals engaged in such activities are properly trained, that LBP training programs are accredited, and that contractors engaged in such activities are certified. In addition, EPA must promulgate a Model State program which may be adopted by any State which seeks to administer and enforce a State Program. EPA promulgated regulations for LBP activities in target housing and child occupied facilities as well as training and certification of training programs for LBP activities 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>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>

        <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 Agency's 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) and EPA pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 104(I) and the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112. 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 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>

The regulation will clarify criteria for completeness of applications, and will specify or refer to a definition of the various classes of antimicrobial pesticide use patterns and the associated data and labeling requirements that would be consistent with the degree and type of risk presented by each class. In addition, the regulation will also include labeling standards for public health antimicrobial products.]]></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 or other testing action is proposed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Multiple Substance Rule for the Testing of Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 4, 1991, EPA issued a proposed TSCA Section 4 Test Rule to require testing of 12 chemicals for developmental and/or reproductive effects. Since issuing that proposed rule, 11 of the subject chemical substances have been sponsored under the international OECD HPV Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) Program, EPA's voluntary HPV Chemical Challenge Program, and/or the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA). Information obtained under these various data collection/development programs will be used to inform EPA's decision regarding the need to re-propose and ultimately finalize this TSCA section 4 Test Rule for some or all of the subject chemicals and for which endpoints they should be tested.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs); Exemption for Those Based on Viral Coat Protein Genes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering the addition of plant-incorporated protectants based on viral coat protein genes 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 protein genes 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[The Agency has determined that the record for this action, which was originally proposed in 1994, does not address the scientific information developed since the original proposal. Consequently, the record would not provide adequate, up-to-date support for the proposed rule. In 1994, EPA believed that the proposed exemption for PIPs derived through genetic engineering from plants sexually compatible with the recipient plant had the potential to cover a number of low-risk products. However, experience in the last decade has shown that such PIPs have not been developed in great numbers. If EPA were to pursue such an exemption in the future, the Agency would issue a new proposed rule. As such, EPA is considering withdrawing the 1994 proposal. Withdrawing the 1994 proposal does not preclude EPAs pursuing the same approach in the future. If withdrawn, the Agency would create a new entry in the regulatory agenda once the Agency decided to pursue such a rulemaking in the future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs); Exemption for PIPs That Act by Primarily Affecting the Plant</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency has determined that the record for this action, which was originally proposed in 1994, does not address the scientific information developed since the original proposal. Consequently, the record would not provide adequate, up-to-date support for the proposed rule. In 1994, EPA believed that the proposed exemption for PIPs that act by primarily affecting the plant had the potential to cover a number of low-risk products. However, experience in the last decade has shown that such PIPs have not been developed in great numbers. If EPA were to pursue such an exemption in the future, the Agency would issue a new proposed rule. As such, EPA is considering withdrawing the 1994 proposal. Withdrawing the 1994 proposal does not preclude EPAs pursuing the same approach in the future. If withdrawn, the Agency would create a new entry in the regulatory agenda once the Agency decided to pursue such a rulemaking in the future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead-Based Paint; Amendments to the Requirements for Disclosure of Known Lead-Based Paint or Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Target Housing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA intends to amend existing requirements to 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 amend existing regulatory text to resolve some inconsistent interpretations and to incorporate interpretations that have been issued through guidance. 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>Testing Agreement for Aryl Phosphates (ITC List 2)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January, 17, 1922 (57 FR 2138), EPA published a proposed TSCA Section 4 test rule covering a number of aryl phosphate base stocks. On March 30, 1993, EPA announced initiation of negotiations with the Aryl Phosphates Panel of the Chemical Manufacturers Association (now the American Chemistry Council or ACC) to develop a TSCA section 4 Enforceable Consent Agreement (ECA) for aryl phosphate base stocks as an alternative approach to testing under the proposed rule (58 FR 16669). On October 9, 1998, EPA sent letters to the Chief Executive Officers of companies, including those who were participating in the development of this ECA, to announce EPA's High Production Volume (HPV) Challenge Program. Consistent with the international OECD Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) Program, EPA's HPV Challenge Program encourages U.S. chemical producers and importers to voluntarily provide existing screening level data, or, if none exist, to develop such data on US HPV chemicals. Because some overlap of testing requirements in the HPV Challenge and this ECA initiative were identified, the industry committed to develop the screening level data for the HPV Challenge Program before continuing with further development of the ECA. In this way, results from the HPV Challenge program would feed back into consideration of needs for the ECA testing and, where possible, could avert some or all of the overlap testing requirements. After completion of the industry's commitments under the HPV Challenge Program, EPA will evaluate the need for any additional testing of the subject AP base stocks under an ECA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 25, 1991 (56 FR 29140), EPA issued a proposed TSCA section 4 Test Rule for health and environmental effects and chemical fate testing of 5 brominated flame retardants. Since issuing that proposed rule, all of the subject chemical substances have been sponsored under the international OECD HPV Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) Program, EPA's voluntary US HPV Challenge Program, and/or EPA's Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP). Information obtained under these various data collection/development programs will be used to inform EPA's decision regarding the need to re-propose and ultimately finalize this TSCA section 4 Test Rule for some or all of the subject chemicals and for which endpoints they should be tested.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Tolerance Processing Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 408(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires 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. EPA developed a final rule that would have adjusted the fee structure and fee amounts for tolerance actions. A final rule completed OMB review on December 31, 2003, but has not been issued because the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004, signed on January 23, 2004, prohibits EPA from collecting any tolerances fees until September 30, 2008. This prohibition was expanded in 2005 to include a prohibition on using federal funding to perform any work on a final tolerance fee rulemaking. As such, no rulemaking activities are currently planned.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticide Agricultural Container Recycling Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is currently considering the future course for developing rulemaking in the area of pesticide container recycling. This effort is in response to the pesticide industry's request for EPA to develop a rulemaking that would continue the operation of an existing but endangered nationwide infrastructure for voluntary recycling of plastic pesticide containers. EPA was asked to consider requiring that manufacturers of agricultural and professional specialty pesticides support (either by managing and operating, or contracting with another organization) a container recycling program that meets the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). FIFRA sections 19(e) and (f) mandate container design requirements and procedures and standards for the safe removal of pesticides from containers before disposal. This rule would facilitate safe recycling as a part of safe disposal or reuse.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Data Requirements for Conventional Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is revising its data requirements for the registration of conventional pesticide products. In this action, the Agency is revising 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. When promulgated, the data requirements will 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. Coupled with revision of data requirements, EPA is reformatting the requirements and revising 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs); Exemption Request From U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) is responsible for disposing of surplus Navy non-combatant ships; many of these ships contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in electrical equipment, and are contaminated with > 50 ppm PCBs in paint, gaskets and cable that cannot be easily removed. In 2003, MARAD exported 4 surplus ships to a shipyard in the United Kingdom, Able UK, for scrapping; however, the planned export of an additional 9 ships had been prevented by a temporary restraining order issued by the U.S. District Court for DC. Although EPA issued a letter of enforcement discretion in May 2003, on July 29, 2004, MARAD submitted a partial petition for an export ban exemption under TSCA 6(e)(3) (B). A complete petition was never filed. In May 2007, MARAD announced it had renegotiated its contract with Able UK and dropped plans to export further vessels to the UK. As such, this rulemaking entry is no longer needed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule, Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonates (PFAS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) authorizes EPA to determine that a use of a chemical substance is a significant new use. EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all relevant factors, including those listed in TSCA section 5(a)(2). A significant new use rule (SNUR) requires manufacturers, including importers, to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacture or import of the named chemical substance for the significant new uses described in the SNUR. For this action, EPA is amending the existing SNUR for certain perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFAS) substances at 40 CFR 721.9582 to add a new Table 3 containing all PFAS chemicals currently on the TSCA Inventory but not already subject to the PFAS SNUR. EPA is also applying the existing 4 exclusions to these new chemicals and is adding two new exclusions: 1) Use of 10 chemicals as a component of an etchant, including a surfactant or fume suppressant, used in the plating process to produce electronic devices; and 2) manufacture or import of tetraethylammonium perfluorooctane sulfonate (CAS No. 56773-42-3) for use as a fume/mist suppressant in metal finishing and plating baths. EPA believes that this action is necessary because the PFAS component of these chemical substances may be hazardous to human health and the environment. The required notice will provide EPA the opportunity to evaluate intended significant new uses and associated activities before they occur and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit those activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule (SNUR); Elemental Mercury in Certain Motor Vehicle Switches</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for mercury used in convenience light switches, anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensors, and active ride control sensors in motor vehicles. This action would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process mercury for these uses, including when mercury is imported or processed as part of an article, to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing such activity. The required notice would provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the use of mercury in these switches, and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit such activity before it occurs to prevent unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In an effort to improve program and administrative efficiencies, EPA is transferring management of the PCB cleanup and disposal program to the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), with an expected effective date of October 1, 2007. EPAs Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) currently manages the PCB program under the requirements of the Toxic Substances Control Act and its regulations. OPPTS will continue to oversee PCB issues relating to use and manufacturing. OSWER is the office within EPA that manages most cleanup and disposal activities. Moving the PCB cleanup and disposal activities to OSWER is a natural fit, since it will group together similar activities in one office. OSWER provides policy guidance and direction for safely managing waste; preparing for and preventing chemical and oil spills, responding to accidents and emergencies; and cleaning up and reusing contaminated property. The management of PCB cleanup and disposal under TSCA will continue to be a federally implemented program and will not be delegated to the States. The transfer will also enable the Agency to more efficiently use its resources, while safeguarding human health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed change to the existing regulation applies to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) authority to award grants and cooperative agreements for research projects. Currently there are limits to the budget period for research grants and cooperative agreements to no more that 2 years. This change will remove the restriction on the budgetary timeframe. The change would allow for project periods of up to 5 years. The change will not adversely affect any current or future grants or cooperative agreements for research projects. Additionally, the proposed action does not constitute a significant policy change for EPA assistance awards, nor does it address any major cross-Agency or cross-media policy implications or precedents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Age Discrimination Regulations--EPA-Assisted Programs--Age Discrimination Act of 1975</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 prohibits discrimination based on age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance, and requires Federal agencies to issue regulations implementing the Act. Recipients are aware of this prohibition and are already in compliance with this requirement. This amendment will add Age as a protected classification to EPA's nondiscrimination regulations (40 CFR part 7), which already prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex or handicap in EPA-assisted programs or activities pursuant to title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and section 13 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972. The 1975 Age Discrimination Act uses the same prohibitory language as title VI and section 504. Promulgating this amendment will bring EPA in line with other Federal agencies that have already issued age discrimination regulations--such as U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS is responsible for approving age discrimination regulations before they are published, and has already approved EPA's proposed amendment.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>RCRA Incentives for Performance Track Members</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Environmental Performance Track program was designed and endorsed across the Agency with support and collaboration among EPA, States, and environmental nongovernmental organizations. Launched in 2000 and supported by each succeeding Administrator, Performance Track recognizes and drives environmental excellence by encouraging facilities with strong environmental records to go above and beyond their legal requirements. 

To become a member, a facility must meet four criteria: Have in place for at least 1 year a well-functioning environmental management system, have maintained a record of sustained regulatory compliance, make a commitment to community outreach and annual public reporting, and make a commitment to continuous environmental improvement. With respect to the last criterion, members set and make good faith efforts to achieve typically four public and measurable goals to improve the quality of our Nations air, water, and land. The 497 Performance Track members include major corporations, small businesses, and public facilities from 49 states that are steering a course toward environmental excellence. Through more than 1,500 commitments to continuous improvement, Performance Track members have collectively reduced their water use by 3.5 billion gallons, greenhouse gas emissions by 88,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, hazardous waste generation by 130,000 tons, non-hazardous waste generation by 600,000 tons, emissions of sulfur oxides by 17,000 tons, and conserved more than 14,000 acres of habitat.

EPA provides incentives for Performance Track members in recognition of their strong compliance records, sound environmental management systems, and transparency in setting and reporting on public goals. In this action, EPA plans to propose: A streamlined process for permit modifications; performance based standards for tanks; and new capabilities for standardized permits. EPA will also take comment on two topics: (1) Alternative requirements for small quantity generators that experience episodic generation events that would otherwise cause a shift in generator status for the facility; and (2) 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. None of the proposed provisions in this action will involve any reduction in environmental protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project XL Site Specific Rulemaking for NASA White Sands Test Facility Electronic Reporting in Las Cruces, New Mexico (Phases I--II)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Summary of the rule:  The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is concurrently establishing a new systems of records pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), entitled the Partner Vetting System (PVS). The PVS will support the vetting of individuals, officers, or other officials of non-governmental organizations who apply for USAID contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other funding, or who apply for registration with USAID as Private and Voluntary Organizations (PVOs), ensuring that neither USAID funds nor USAID-funded activities inadvertently or otherwise provide support to entities or individuals associated with terrorism.

In this proposed rulemaking, USAID proposes to exempt portions of this system of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to implement Executive Branch policy that, within the framework of constitutional guidelines, small businesses should be encouraged to compete for USAID funding.  This proposed rule would establish a Mentor-Protégé Program to motivate and encourage firms and institutions of higher education to provide business development assistance to small businesses and institutions of higher education in the United States that either historically or currently have ethnic minority student enrollments of more than 25 percent.  The Mentor-Protégé Program is also designed to improve the performance of USAID contractors and subcontractors by providing developmental assistance to protégé entities, foster the establishment of long-term business relationships between small businesses and prime contractors and between institutions of higher education with MSIs, and increase the overall number of small businesses and MSIs that receive USAID contract and subcontract awards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (Committee), which is responsible for administering and overseeing the implementation of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act, is proposing to require designated central and other participating nonprofit agencies to take specific steps to adhere to accountability standards established by the Committee. A key element of this proposed rule is to ensure that executive compensation is such, that revenue of a designated central or other affiliated nonprofit agency, generated through the AbilityOne Programs authority, does not unreasonably inure to an individual, executive, or professional staff member. The proposed rule is also intended to ensure that only qualified, capable, and compliant central nonprofit and nonprofit agencies are allowed to receive and retain Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act sponsored government contracts.  Finally, this rule will require central nonprofit agencies to adhere to the fee guidance established herein.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>AbilityOne Program; Determining Whether Commodities Are &quot;Essentially the Same&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (Committee), which is responsible for administering the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act through the AbilityOne Program, proposes to amend its regulations by adding guidelines for Federal agencies' use in determining whether commercial commodities are "essentially the same" as items on the Procurement List. The Procurement List is the official list of commodities and services that the Committee has determined to be suitable for provision to the Government by nonprofit agencies employing people who are blind or who have other severe disabilities and that, pursuant to the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act and the regulations, must be purchased from the source designated by the Committee. The guidelines for Federal agencies would clarify the meaning and applicability of the term "essentially the same," which currently appears but is not defined in the Committee's regulations. As such, the guidelines would assist Federal employees who make purchasing decisions in complying with the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proposed rule would also, among other things, provide a mechanism for the phase-in of projects that cannot initially meet the direct labor hour percentage requirements set forth in the proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 13, 2006, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued joint final rules to permit the trading of futures contracts based on individual debt securities and indexes comprised of individual debt securities.  The effective date for the joint rules is August 14, 2006.  The present language of several CFTC rules is not fully consistent with the offer and trading of futures contracts based on debt securities.  Therefore, the CFTC is proposing to adopt several conforming amendments that clarify the applicability of the rules to futures contracts based on debt.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is undertaking a review of regulatory issues related to the oversight of trading on regulated commodity futures and options exchanges and Exempt Commercial Markets (ECMs).  In furtherance of this review, the Commission scheduled a public hearing for Tuesday, September 18, 2007, at the Commission's headquarters in Washington, DC.  The issues relevant to the Commission's regulatory review include the tiered regulatory approach of the Commodity Exchange Act as amended by the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000; the similarities and differences between ECMs and regulated exchanges; the regulatory risks associated with and unique to each market category; the types of regulatory amendments, if any, that might be appropriate to address such identified risks; and the impact that new or amended regulations might have on the U.S. futures industry and the global competitiveness of the U.S. financial industry in general.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interagency Proposal To Consider Alternative Forms of Privacy Notices Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <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, which include eight Federal regulators 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. 

The Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 amended the GLB Act, requiring the agencies to propose a model notice to consumers. Use of the model notice will constitute a safe harbor for a financial institution's compliance with the notice requirements of the GLB Act.  The model notice is set forth in the joint NPRM issued by the GLB Act agencies in March. The NPRM seeks comment on the content and form of the form, among other matters. The NPRM was developed jointly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Trade Commission, the National Credit Union Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the CFTC. The comments will be considered by all the GLB Act agencies before adopting a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed regulations expand the set of persons delegated by the Commission with the authority to issue exempt commercial market special calls to include the Director of the Division of Enforcement and that Director's designees.  The Commission is also proposing several amendments to part 40 of the Commissions regulations to align the requirements of that part with the Commissions current regulatory practice and interpretations.  The proposed amendments intend to accomplish, among other things, the following:  (1) Clarify that registered entity rules, in general, must be implemented pursuant to the process for self-certification or pursuant to a request for Commission approval, (2) clarify that the rules and contracts of dormant registered entities will automatically be deemed dormant; (3) clarify that persons, other than governing board members, may declare emergencies on behalf of a designated contract market or derivatives transaction execution facility; (4) clarify the implementation time limits applicable to newly self-certified products and rules; (5) clarify the approval time limits applicable to certain agricultural rule changes; and (6) codify additional categories of rules that may be implemented without certification or notification because they are routine rules and rule amendments or are otherwise already reported to the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

Rule 18.05 requires that a person holding a reportable position on a reporting market retain books and records and make available to the Commission upon request any pertinent information with respect to positions, transactions or activities on other reporting markets and in the cash market with respect to the commodity in which the trader is reportable.  The Commission is proposing to amend Rule 18.05 to require persons holding reportable positions to also keep books and records and make available to the Commission upon request pertinent information with respect to positions, transactions or activities on other markets, including over-the-counter markets, exempt commercial markets, exempt boards of trade and foreign boards of trade, with respect to positions in commodities that are identical to, substantially similar to, or related to, the commodities in which the trader is reportable.  The proposed amendments are also intended to clarify the application of Rule 18.05 to hedging activity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flammability Standard for Upholstered Furniture</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 23, 2003, the Commission issued an ANPRM to expand the scope of the ongoing upholstered furniture flammability proceeding to include both cigarette and small open flame-ignited fires. The staff developed a draft standard addressing both cigarette and small open flame ignition, and held public meetings in 2004 and 2005 to present and discuss the draft.  On January 31, 2006, the staff sent a briefing package containing a revised draft standard and describing regulatory options to the Commission.  The staff forwarded follow-up status reports on various technical research efforts in November 2006 and December 2006.  The staff continues to perform laboratory testing and other research to support a possible proposed rule.  

CPSC staff is considering possible impacts of flame-retardant chemical use on human health and the environment.  The CPSC staff has evaluated potential health risks associated with textile and foam filling material flame retardants.  At the CPSC staff's request, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health studied potential worker exposure to and risks from certain flame-retardant chemicals that may be used by textile and furniture producers to comply with an upholstered furniture flammability standard. CPSC staff has also worked with the Environmental Protection Agency to (a) develop a significant new use rule (SNUR) for flame-retardant compounds used in residential upholstered furniture fabrics or fillings under that agency's Toxic Substances Control Act Authority, and (b) identify and encourage the use of environmentally-preferable flame retardants under a Design for the Environment industry/government partnership.  The Design for the Environment report was published in September 2005.  Further, at the CPSC staff's request, the National Toxicology Program of the Department of Health and Human Services is initiating health studies of several flame retardants for which toxicity data are lacking.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[For 2001-2003, an annual average of approximately 4,000 residential fires in which upholstered furniture was the first item to ignite resulted in an estimated 330 deaths, 580 civilian injuries, and about $115 million in property damage that could be addressed by a flammability standard. The total annual societal cost attributable to these upholstered furniture fire losses was approximately $1.9 billion. This total includes fires ignited by small open-flame sources and cigarettes.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 4 of the Flammable Fabrics Act (FFA) (15 U.S.C. 1193) authorizes the Commission to issue a flammability standard or other regulation for a product of interior furnishing if the Commission determines that such a standard is "needed to adequately protect the public against unreasonable risk of the occurrence of fire leading to death or personal injury, or significant property damage." The Commission's regulatory proceeding could result in several actions, one of which could be the development of a mandatory standard requiring that upholstered furniture sold in the United States meet mandatory labeling requirements, resist ignition, or meet other performance criteria under test conditions specified in the standard.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[(1) The Commission could issue a mandatory flammability standard if the Commission finds that such a standard is needed to address an unreasonable risk of the occurrence of fire from ignition of upholstered furniture; (2) the Commission could issue mandatory requirements for labeling of upholstered furniture, in addition to, or as an alternative to, the requirements of a mandatory flammability standard; and (3) the Commission could terminate the proceeding for development of a flammability standard and rely on a voluntary standard if a voluntary standard would adequately address the risk of fire and substantial compliance with such a standard is likely to result.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The estimated annual cost of imposing a mandatory standard to address ignition of upholstered furniture will depend upon the test requirements imposed by the standard and the steps manufacturers take to meet those requirements. Again, depending upon the test requirements, a standard may reduce cigarette and small open flame-ignited fire losses, the annual societal cost of which was $1.9 billion for 2001-2003. Thus, the potential benefits of a mandatory standard to address the risk of ignition of upholstered furniture could be significant, even if the standard did not prevent all such fires.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The estimated average annual cost to society from all residential fires associated with upholstered furniture was $1.9 billion for 2001-2003.  Societal costs associated with upholstered furniture fires are among the highest associated with any product subject to the Commission's authority. A standard has the potential to reduce these societal costs.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Portable Bed Rails</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. In October 2000, the Commission issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) addressing this issue. The ASTM International standard for bed rails has since been revised and staff is evaluating 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>Possible Revocation or Amendment of Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (Cigarette Ignition)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) in the Federal Register on June 23, 2005, requesting comments on a rulemaking proceeding that could result in revoking or amending its existing flammability standard that includes a test for cigarette ignition of mattresses and mattress pads  (16 CFR part 1632).  On January 13, 2005, the Commission issued a proposed flammability standard for mattresses and mattress and foundation sets that prescribes an open flame ignition test.  Some commenters to that rulemaking stated that they believe that once the new mattress standard is in effect the cigarette ignition test currently required in 16 CFR 1632 will not be necessary and conducting both tests will be burdensome for industry.  The Commission issued this ANPRM to begin consideration of whether the existing mattress standard should be revoked or amended.  The staff is analyzing the public comments.  A research project examining the criteria for self-sustained smoldering began in late 2006.]]></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 (ANPRM) was published in the Federal Register on September 12, 2002.  The staff reviewed public comments and proposed amendments for Commission consideration.  On January 12, 2007, the Commission voted to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register.  The comment period closed on May 14, 2007.  The staff is currently evaluating the comments and preparing a final rule briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 14, 2005, the Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning all terrain vehicles (ATVs).  Issuance of the ANPRM initiated a rulemaking proceeding under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA).  After reviewing the regulatory alternatives and the comments submitted in response to the ANPRM, the staff developed a May 31, 2006, briefing package recommending that the Commission issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would formally ban three-wheeled ATVs and mandate performance, training, labeling, and information requirements for four-wheeled ATVs.  Other non-regulatory activities also were recommended, including the launch of an ATV safety Web site and a two-phase information and education effort.  A Commission briefing was held on June 15, 2006.  On July 12, 2006, the Commission voted 3-0 to approve publication of the draft NPRM with changes in the Federal Register.  The NPRM was published on August 10, 2006, with a comment closing date of October 24, 2006.  Seven ATV manufacturers and distributors requested a 60-day extension of the comment period.  The Commission granted their request, and the comment closing date was extended to December 26, 2006.  Staff is conducting research as directed by the Commission in its vote on July 12, 2006.]]></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. CPSC staff is currently assessing the adequacy of and conformance with the voluntary standard.  Following this assessment, the staff will prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration as to whether to continue the rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Standard for Baby Bath Seats</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 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. In October of 2003, the Commission voted to direct the staff to prepare a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for the Commission's consideration. On December 29, 2003, the NPRM was published in the Federal Register. The comment period closed on March 15, 2004. Since the NPRM, staff worked with ASTM International to revise the voluntary standard for bath seats (ASTM F1967).  The standard was revised in 2004 and again in 2007.  Staff is currently evaluating the adequacy of the revised standard.  Following this evaluation, staff will prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration as to whether to continue the rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A petition from the Danny Foundation requests that the Commission establish a standard to address an alleged hazard of strangulation posed by bunk bed corner posts. The petitioner asserts that due to the height of bunk beds, corner posts on bunk beds pose a substantial risk to children when the children's clothing, bedding, or other items become caught on the corner posts. On November 8, 2002, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register to solicit comments on the petition from all interested persons. The comment period closed on January 7, 2003. On April 13, 2004, the staff sent a briefing package to the Commission on this issue. On July 30, 2004, the Commission voted to defer action on the petition while the staff continues to work with the ASTM International bunk bed subcommittee on this issue.  A revised voluntary standard for bunk beds was published in October 2004 that incorporates warning language about hangings associated with bunk beds and attaching items to the bed.  CPSC staff worked with the subcommittee to develop requirements to address strangulation hazards with vertical protrusions.  A revised standard was approved on July 15, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Standard To Address Open-Flame Ignition of Bedclothes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 13, 2005, 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 open-flame ignition of bedclothes.  Bedclothes are a major contributor to mattress ignition.  Commission staff reviewed research indicating that mattresses and bedclothes operate together as a system in fires involving mattresses.  Research has suggested that improved flammability performance of some bedclothes can reduce the fire hazard. The Commission staff will review public comments received on the ANPRM and conduct research on the fire hazard presented by burning bedclothes and the relationship with mattresses.  Staff will prepare a decision package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission proposed a new interpretive rule that identifies and explains related factors that may be considered by the Commission and staff in evaluating the appropriateness and amount of a civil penalty.  On July 12, 2006, the Commission solicited comments on a proposed new interpretive rule.  The comment period closed on August 11, 2006.  CPSC staff will prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration concerning the content of a possible final interpretive rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flammability Standards for Carpets and Rugs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Consumer Product Safety Commission administers two flammability standards for carpets and rugs:  16 CFR part 1630--Standard for the Flammability of Carpets and Rugs, and 16 CFR part 1631--Standard for the Surface Flammability of Small Carpets and Rugs.  The standards establish minimum acceptance criteria for the surface flammability of carpets and rugs when exposed to a standard small source of ignition under prescribed conditions (the "pill test").  The standards define the ignition source in relevant part as a methenamine tablet, sold by the Eli Lilly Company, or an equal tablet.  Commission staff learned that the Eli Lilly Company was no longer producing the methenamine tablets specified in the carpet and rug standards.  Accordingly, the Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register on November 13, 2006, that would remove the reference to the Eli Lilly Company and amend the standards to address the issue of what is considered an "equal" methenamine tablet.  The comment period closed on January 29, 2007.  Staff is preparing a final rule briefing package.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Standard for Automatic Residential Garage Door Openers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is amending its safety standard for automatic residential garage door operators, 16 CFR part 1211, to incorporate changes that Underwriters Laboratories Inc. ("UL") has made to its UL 325 standard.  The Commission issued its garage door operator standard in 1992 pursuant to PL 101-608, which made the entrapment protection provisions of UL 325 a mandatory consumer product safety standard.  The law also provided for revisions to the entrapment protection requirements of the UL 325 standard to be incorporated into the Commission's standard.  This rulemaking incorporates changes in the UL standard that address the hazard of children becoming entrapped if a child becomes stuck under a partially open door and the door moves down when a bystander presses the wall control button.  The Commission issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on January 18, 2007, 72 FR 2217.  The Commission received no comments on the proposal.  The Commission voted to issue the final rule which was published on September 27, 2007, 72 FR 54816.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[When the Corporation for National and Community Service, created under the National and Community Service Act of 1990, as amended, took control of the programs run by its predecessor, the ACTION Agency, in April 1994, the ACTION Agency ceased to exist.  Therefore, 45 CFR parts 1203, 1214, and 1232, which cover the enforcement of nondiscrimination on the basis of handicap in programs or activities conducted by ACTION, are outdated and will be superceded by 45 CFR chapter XXV.

Clarification:  Enforcement of Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Handicap in Programs or Activities Conducted by ACTION is 45 CFR 1214; Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Handicap in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance is 45 CFR 1232; and Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs--Effectuation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is 45 CFR 1203.]]></ABSTRACT>

In addition, the regulation may be amended to also implement Executive Order 13331, which will result in an improvement in the overall accountability and efficiency in the administration of the Corporation's national and community service programs.  Also, the Corporation plans to remove all references to the Corporation's predecessor agency--ACTION--and to redesignate the regulatory provisions currently in 45 CFR chapter 12 to 45 CFR chapter 25, where the Corporation's other regulations are published.  Furthermore, the Corporation plans to provide additional information regarding program policies associated with the operations and benefits of the AmeriCorps*VISTA programs.  Furthermore, the Corporation intends to update the regulations regarding prohibitions on electoral and lobbying activities, including Hatch Act restrictions on AmeriCorps*VISTA members and sponsors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Corporation for National and Community Service is establishing a new part 2200 in 2 CFR as the Corporation's policies and procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.  The new part 2200 adopts and supplements the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB's) guidance in 2 CFR part 180.  The Corporation for National and Community Service is also removing 45 CFR part 2542, which contains the Corporation's implementation of the Governmentwide common rule on nonprocurement debarment and suspension.  2 CFR part 2200 will serve the same purpose as the common rule in a simpler way.  These changes constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in Corporation's policies or procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to revise the definition of "cost or pricing data"; change the term "information other than cost or pricing data" to "data other than certified cost or pricing data"; add a definition of "certified cost or pricing data" to make the terms and definitions consistent with 10 U.S.C. 2306a and 41 U.S.C. 254b and more understandable to the general reader; change terminology throughout the FAR; and clarify the need to obtain data other than certified cost or pricing data when there is no other means to determine fair and reasonable pricing during price analysis. This regulatory action was not subject to 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 change the provision at 52.209-5, Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Proposed Debarment, and Other Responsibility Matters, and to make changes in part 9, Contractor Qualifications, to add language regarding nonpayment of taxes.  This proposed rule requires offerors to also certify whether or not they have, within a 3-year period preceding the offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for violating any tax law or failing to pay any tax, or been notified of any delinquent taxes for which the liability remains unsatisfied.  In addition, the offeror will be required to certify whether or not they have received a notice of a tax lien filed against them for which the liability remains unsatisfied or the lien has not been released. This regulatory action was not subject to review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.  This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2006-029, Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA)--Reporting Requirement of Subcontractor Award Data</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the FAR to require that contractors report specific subcontract awards to a public database.  The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA) (Pub. L. 109-282) requires the existence and operation of a searchable website that provides public access to information about Federal expenditures. The FFATA specifically requires that a pilot program be established to test the collection and accession of subcontract award data.  As a result, subcontracts awarded and funded with Federal appropriated funds will be disclosed to the public in a single searchable website.  This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866 "Regulatory Planning and Review," dated September 30, 1993.  This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In Smith v. City of Jackson, 544 U.S. 228 (2005), the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that disparate impact is a cognizable theory of discrimination under the ADEA but indicated that "reasonable factors other than age," not "business necessity," is the appropriate model for the employers' defense against an impact claim.  Accordingly, the Commission intends to revise its regulation on disparate impact, currently codified at 29 CFR section 1625.7(d).]]></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 considered 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.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In General Dynamics Land Systems v. Cline, 540 U.S. 581 (2004), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) only prohibits age-based discrimination against relatively older individuals.  It rejected the Commission's position that the ADEA also prohibits age-based discrimination against relatively younger individuals who are age 40 or over.  The Commission has revised relevant portions of its regulations to conform to the holding in Cline.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 of 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cable Television Rate Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <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 5-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 5-year interim freeze of the part 36 jurisdictional separations rules, pending comprehensive reform of the separations process.  The 5-year interim freeze was based upon the July 21, 2000, Recommended Decision of the Federal-State Joint Board on Separations.

        <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.  Petitions for reconsideration were filed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cable Home Wiring</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.  In the First Order on Reconsideration and the Second Report and Order, the Commission modified its rules in part.  The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded a portion of the Commission decision back to the Commission for further consideration.  In September 2004, the Commission issued an FNPRM in response to the courts decision.  The subsequent Report and Order and Declaratory Ruling concluded that cable wiring behind sheet rock is physically inaccessible for determining the demarcation point.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Competitive Availability of Navigation Devices (97-80)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. 

Specifically, in 1998, the Commission required MVPDs to make available by July 1, 2000, a security element separate from the basic navigation device (e.g., cable set-top boxes, digital video recorders, and television receivers with navigation capabilities).  The separation of the security element from the host device required by this rule (referred to as the integration ban) was designed to enable unaffiliated manufacturers, retailers, and other vendors to commercially market host devices while allowing MVPDs to retain control over their system security.  MVPDs were permitted to continue providing equipment with integrated security until January 1, 2005, so long as modular security components, known as point-of-deployment modules, were also made available for use with host devices obtained through retail outlets.  In April 2003, in response to requests from cable operators, the Commission extended the effective date of the integration ban until July 1, 2006.  Then, in 2005, again at the urging of cable operators, the Commission extended that date until July 1, 2007.  Also, in this proceeding, in April 2003, the Commission adopted unidirectional plug and play rules, to govern compatibility between MVPDs and navigation devices manufactured by consumer electronics manufacturers not affiliated with cable operators.  In June 2007, the Commission solicited comment on proposed standards to ensure bidirectional compatibility of cable television systems and consumer electronics equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rules address generally the use of dialing sequences other than the 900 service access code to provide information services.  The Commission issued an NPRM on these issues July 16, 2004.]]></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 150 percent of all charges paid by the subscriber after such violation. 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.  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.  

In July, 2004, the Commission released a Fourth Order on Reconsideration disposing of petitions for reconsideration of the streamlined rules for compliance with section 258 of the Act.  In November, 2004, a Fifth Order on Reconsideration was released that confirmed certain carrier change verification rules.]]></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.  

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 were withdrawn and the reconsideration proceeding was terminated effective September 9, 2004.  On May 27, 1999, the Commission initiated a further rulemaking, seeking comment on how to adjust interstate access charges in conjunction with the removal from access charges of implicit universal service support for non-rural local exchange carriers. On August 5, 1999, the Commission adopted rules implementing the market-based approach to access charge reform, pursuant to which incumbent price cap local exchange carriers receive progressively greater pricing flexibility as competition develops. The Commission also initiated a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, seeking comment on additional pricing flexibility, proposed changes to the rate structure for local switching and tandem-switched transport, and the need to constrain access charges imposed by competitive local exchange carriers.  

On April 26, 2001, the Commission adopted rules governing competitive local exchange carrier (LEC) access charges in the CLEC Access Charge Order.  Specifically, the Commission limited to a declining benchmark the amounts that competitive LECs may tariff for interstate access services, restricted the interstate access rates of competitive LECs entering new markets to the rates of the competing incumbent LEC, and established a rural exemption permitting qualifying carriers to charge rates above the benchmark for their interstate access services.

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.  On May 18, 2004, the Commission released an order that denied seven petitions for reconsideration of the CLEC Access Charge Order, clarified application of the CLEC access charge rules in several respects, and allowed originating 8YY traffic to be governed by the same declining benchmark as other competitive LEC interstate access traffic.

On March 5, 2007, the Wireline Competition Bureau (the Bureau) released a Public Notice inviting interested parties to update the record pertaining to petitions for reconsideration filed with respect to the rules the Commission adopted in the CALLS Order.  Specifically, the Bureau requested that parties that filed petitions for reconsideration of the CALLS Order file a supplemental notice indicating those issues that they still wish to be reconsidered.  The only remaining petition for reconsideration was that filed by Pathfinder.  No other notices were received in response to the request to update the record pertaining to petitions for reconsideration.  The Pathfinder petition for reconsideration was dismissed as moot on July 3, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Local Competition Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 8, 1996, the Commission adopted the Local Competition Second Report and Order (FCC 96-333), implementing the dialing parity, nondiscriminatory access, network disclosure, and numbering administration provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.  On July 19, 1999, the Commission released the First Order on Reconsideration (FCC 99-170), denying the petition for reconsideration of the Local Competition Second Report and Order filed by Beehive Telephone Company, Inc., which related to numbering admininstration.

On September 9, 1999, the Commission released the Second Order on Reconsideration (FCC 99-227), resolving petitions for reconsideration of rules adopted in the Local Competition Second Report and Order to implement the requirement of 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) (also 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 (FCC 99-243), resolving the remaining petitions for reconsideration regarding numbering administration under 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 regarding dialing parity under 47 U.S.C. section 251(b)(3) and network disclosure under 47 U.S.C. section 251(c)(5).

On January 23, 2001, the Commission released a First Report and Order (FCC 01-27) resolving issues raised in the September 9, 1999 NPRM and concluding, among other things, that competing directory assistance (DA) providers that are certified as competitive local exchange carriers (competitive LECs), are agents of competitive LECs, or that offer call completion services are entitled to nondiscriminatory access to LEC local DA databases.  

On January 9, 2002, the Commission released the Directory Assistance NPRM (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); and (4) utilizing 411XX numbers.  The Commission also sought comment on whether the 411 dialing code should be eliminated.  This proceeding is pending before the Commission.

On May 3, 2005, the Commission released an Order on Reconsideration (FCC 05-93) resolving petitions for reconsideration of the Second Order on Reconsideration and the First Report and Order.  The Commission clarified its rules regarding the use of DA data obtained pursuant to section 251(b)(3) of the Act, and denied BellSouth and SBCs joint petition for reconsideration which sought authority to place contractual restrictions on competing DA providers use of DA information.  The Commission reaffirmed that LECs are required to provide nondiscriminatory access to their entire local DA database including local DA data acquired from third parties.  The Commission also accepted Qwests request to withdraw its petition for reconsideration of the First Report and Order, and resolved SBCs petition for reconsideration of the Second Order on Reconsideration.]]></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).

On August 5, 2005, the Commission adopted a Report and Order and NPRM that establishes a new regulatory framework for wireline broadband Internet access services offered by facilities-based providers, including the BOCs.  This Order became effective on November 16, 2006, and immediately relieved the BOCs of all Computer Inquiry requirements with respect to wireline broadband Internet access services.  The Order also included an NPRM seeking comment on consumer protection obligations applicable to all providers of broadband Internet access service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Detariffing of Competitive Local Exchange Carriers&apos; Interstate Exchange Access Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In an Order on Reconsideration released on May 18, 2004, the Commission addressed a number of petitions for reconsideration of the tariff rules governing the charges for interstate switched access services provided by competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs).  With this decision, the Commission denied petitions for reconsideration and retained the existing regime governing interstate switched access services provided by CLECs.  Although the Commission denied petitions for reconsideration, it addressed a number of issues raised in petitions for clarification and amended the tariff rules accordingly.  

In the attached Report and Order, the Commission concluded that CLEC-provided access rates for toll free, or "8YY" traffic should not be afforded different treatment than CLEC tariffed interstate 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 latest 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 amends existing and establishes new regulations governing TRS.]]></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.

In the 2nd Report & Order and First Order on Reconsideration, adopted in February 2005, the Commission affirmed its tentative conclusion not to impose dual carriage and affirmed its prior determination that broadcasters were entitled to carriage of one digital programming stream.

In the Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission addresses issues concerning the carriage of digital broadcast television signals after the conclusion of the digital television transition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Horizontal Ownership Limits and Attribution Rules</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, as well as two aspects of the attribution rules used to determine compliance with these limits.  (Time Warner Entertainment Co. v. FCC, 240 F.3d 1126 (DC cir. 2001)). Pursuant to the court's remand, the Commission solicited comment in a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (September 2001) and is now seeking supplemental comment and evidence.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Digital Audio Broadcasting Systems (MM Docket No. 99-325)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 are addressed in a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  Further technical guidance is provided in a Second Report and 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 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.  

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 21, 2003, the Commission issued a Report and Order, Order on Remand, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, in which the Commission adopted new unbundling requirements.  68 FR 52276.  

In addition, the Commission initiated a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 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.  68 FR 52307.

On September 17, 2003, the Commission issued an Errata correcting the Report and Order and Order on Remand.  On October 9, 2003, the Commission issued a Report seeking comment on ten petitions for clarification and/or reconsideration of the Report and Order and Order on Remand released on August 21, 2003.  68 FR 60391.  By Order, the Commission denied a request to extend the comment period for petitions for clarification and/or reconsideration.

On March 2, 2004, the Commissions August 21, 2003 Report and Order and Order on Remand was affirmed in part and vacated and remanded in part.  USTA v. FCC, 359 F.3d 554 (D.C. Cir. 2004).

On July 13, 2004, the Commissions Second Report and Order concluded the rulemaking proceeding initiated regarding the so-called pick-and-choose rule and determined that an all-or-nothing rule for opting into other interconnection agreements will better promote increased give and take negotiations.  69 FR 43762. 

On August 9, 2004, the Commission released an Order on Reconsideration addressing in part two petitions for reconsideration of the Commissions fiber-to-the-premises unbundling rules.  69 FR 54589.  The Commission clarified in this Order on Reconsideration the applicability of the fiber-to-the-premises rules in multi-dwelling unit buildings. 

On August 20, 2004, the Commission issued an Interim Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking establishing a new rulemaking proceeding to determine incumbent LEC unbundling obligations as well as establishing interim requirements to govern carrier relationships until the Commission concludes its rulemaking process.  69 FR 55111, 55128.  

On October 18, 2004, the Commission released and Order on Reconsideration concluding that fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) loops shall be subject to the same unbundling framework that the Commission established for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) loops.  69 FR 77950.

On February 4, 2005, the Commission released an Order on Remand, 70 FR 8940, responding to the D.C. Circuits remand of certain parts of the Triennial Review Order, including several aspects of the impairment standard as well as new determinations regarding unbundling requirements for local circuit switching, high-capacity loops, and dedicated transport.  Specifically, the Commission determined that incumbent LECs have no obligation to unbundle local circuit switching and adopted a 12-month plan to transition existing customers of unbundled switching to other arrangements.  Regarding high-capacity loops, the Commission determined that competing carriers are not impaired (thus, are not entitled to access as UNEs) dark fiber loop circuits.  Competing carriers are, however, impaired without access to DS1 and DS3 loops, except in wire centers that meet specific business lines and fiber-based collocation thresholds.  Similarly, with respect to dedicated transport, the Commission determined that competing carriers are impaired without access to DS1, DS3 and dark fiber transport, except on routes connecting a pair of wire centers, each containing a specified number of business lines or a specified number of fiber-based collocators.

On March 14, 2005, the Commission's Wireline Competition Bureau issued an order denying a petition filed by Verizon seeking a stay of the Commission's rule alowing competitive LECs to "convert" tariffed incumbent LEC special access arrangements to unbundled network element (UNE) arrangements if the competitive LEC is eligible to order the UNE(s) at issue.

On April 25, 2005 and May 25, 2005, the Commission issued Public Notices establishing comment periods in response to petitions for reconsideration of the Commission's Order on Remand (Triennial Review Order).

On June 16, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the Commission's Order on Remand, 70 FR 8940.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the Rules Regarding Ultra-Wideband Transmission</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.

The Memorandum Opinion and Order responded to fourteen petitions for reconsideration that were filed in response to the regulations for unlicensed ultra wideband (UWB) operations.  In general, this document does not make any significant changes to the existing UWB parameters as the Commission is reluctant to do so until it has more experience with UWB devices.  The Commission believes that any major changes to the rules for existing UWB product categories at this early stage would be disruptive to current industry product development efforts.

The Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making proposed new rules to address issues raised by some of the petitions for reconsideration that were outside the scope of the proceeding.   New rules were proposed to address issues regarding the operation of low pulse repetition frequency UWB systems, including vehicular radars, in the 3.1-10.6 GHz band; and the operation frequency hopping vehicular radars in the 22-29 GHz band as UWB devices.  The Commission also proposed new rules that would establish new peak power limits for wideband part 15 devices that do no operate as UWB devices and proposed to eliminate the definition of a UWB device.

The 2nd Report & Order and 2nd Memorandum Opinion & Order responds to two petitions for reconsideration that were filed in response to the Commission's decision to establish regulations for unlicensed ultra-wideband ("UWB") operation. It also responds to the rule making proposals contained in the Memorandum Opinion and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this docket. The order establishes new rules for wideband unlicensed devices operating in the 5925-7250 MHz, 16.2-17.7 GHz, and 22.12-29 GHz bands.]]></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 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.  The resulting R&O adopted a multi-step process to create a new DTV table of allotments and authorizations.  Also in the R&O, the Commission adopted replication and maximization deadlines for DTV broadcasters and updated rules in recognition revisions to broadcast transmission standards.

The Second R&O adopts disclosure requirements for televisions that do not include a digital tuner.]]></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.

In the First Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission extended the license term for earth station licenses from 10 to 15 years.

In the Second Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission adopted rules allowing unlicensed receive-only earth stations to receive transmissions from non-U.S.-licensed satellites on the Permitted List.

In the Third Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission adopted a streamlined application form for certain earth station licenses, and adopted a mandatory electronic filing requirement for those earth station applications.

In the Fourth Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission extended the mandatory electronic filing requirement to all earth station applications.

In the Fifth Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission adopted the following proposals from the NPRM: (1) Codifying streamlined procedures for non-routine antennas; (2) relaxing power and power density limits, and allowing routine KU-band temporary fixed earth stations to begin operations sooner; (3) revising certain VSAT rules; and (4) other miscellaneous rule revisions.  One petition for reconsideration was filed in response to this Order on July 5, 2005.

In the Sixth Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission adopted revisions to the earth station antenna gain pattern requirements, as proposed in the Further Notice.  Two petitions for reconsideration were filed in response to this Order on July 8, 2005.

In the Third Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission invited comment on adopting off-axis EIRP envelops for C-band and KU-band FSS earth stations. 

In the Seventh Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission considered and rejected its proposal in the NPRM to make revisions to part 23 of its rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Advanced Wireless Services; ET Docket No. 00-258</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding explores the possible uses of frequency bands below 3 GHz to support the introduction of new advanced wireless services, including third generations as well as future generations of wireless systems.  Advanced wireless systems could provide for a wide range of voice data and broadband services over a variety of mobile and fixed networks.

The Third Notice of Proposed Rule Making discusses the frequency bands that are still under consideration in this proceeding and invites additional comments on their disposition.  Specifically, it addresses the Unlicensed Personal Communications Service (UPCS) band at 1910-1930 MHz, the Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS) spectrum at 2155-2160/62 MHz bands, the Emerging Technology spectrum, at 2160-2165 MHz, and the bands reallocated from MSS 91990-2000 MHz, 2020-2025 MHz and 2165-2180 MHz.  We seek comment on these bands with respect to using them for paired or unpaired Advance Wireless Service (AWS) operations or as relocation spectrum for existing services.

The 7th Report & Order facilitates the introduction of Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) in the band 1710-1755 MHz--an integral part of a 90 MHz spectrum allocation recently reallocated to allow for such new and innovative wireless services. We largely adopt the proposals set forth in our recent AWS Fourth NPRM in this proceeding that are designed to clear the 1710-1755 MHz band of incumbent Federal Government operations that would otherwise impede the development of new nationwide AWS services. These actions are consistent with previous actions in this proceeding and with the United States Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA") 2002 Viability Assessment, which addressed relocation and reaccommodation options for Federal Government operations in the band.

The 8th Report and Order reallocated the 2155-2160 MHz band for Fixed and Mobile services and designates the 2155-2175 MHz band for Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) use.  This proceeding continues the Commissions ongoing efforts to promote spectrum utilization and efficiency with regard to the provision of new services, including Advanced Wireless Services.	

The Order requires Broadband Radio Service (BRS) licensees in the 2150-2160/62 MHz band to provide information on the construction status and operational parameters of each incumbent BRS system that would be the subject of relocation.

The Notice of Proposed Rule Making requested comments on the specific relocation procedures applicable to Broadband Radio Service (BRS) operations in the 2150-2160/62 MHz band, which the Commission recently decided will be relocated to the newly restructured 2495-2690 MHz band.  The Commission also requested comments on the specific relocation procedures applicable to Fixed Microwave Service (FS) operations in the 2160-2175 MHz band.

The Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) set forth the specific data that Broadband Radio Service (BRS) licensees in the 2150-2160/62 MHz band must file along with the deadline date and procedures for filing this data on the Commissions Universal Licensing System (ULS).  The data will assist in determining future AWS licensees relocation obligations.

The 9th Report and Order established procedures for the relocation of Broadband Radio Service (BRS) operations from the 2150-2160/62 MHz band, as well as for the relocation of Fixed Microwave Service (FS) operations from the 2160-2175 MHz band, and modified existing relocation procedures for the 2110-2150 MHz and 2175-2180 MHz bands.  It also established cost-sharing rules to identify the reimbursement obligations for Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) and Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) entrants benefiting from the relocation of incumbent FS operations in the 2110-2150 MHz and 2160-2200 MHz bands and AWS entrants benefiting from the relocation of BRS incumbents in the 2150-2160/62 MHz band.  The Commission continues its ongoing efforts to promote spectrum utilization and efficiency with regard to the provision of new services, including AWS.  The Order dismisses a petition for reconsideration filed by the Wireless Communications Association International, Inc. (WCA) as moot.

Two petitions for Reconsideration were filed in response to the 9th Report and Order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Children&apos;s TV, Obligations of Digital TV Broadcasters (MM Docket No. 00-167)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding seeks comment on a range of issues related to application of our existing children's programming rules to digital broadcasting. The NPRM focused 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.

The resulting Report and Order addressed the obligation of DTV broadcasters to provide programming to children.  Further, the R&O amended the Commission's rules regarding on-air identification of children's programming.  Regarding commercial time limits, the R&O addressed issues related to the definition of "commercial matter."

On March 17, 2006, the Commission adopted a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking public comment on a joint proposal filed by industry representatives and children's television advocates.

The Second Order on Reconsideration and the Second Report clarified rules regarding the obligation to provide children's programming on DTV multicast channels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Radio Market Definitions (MM Docket No. 03-130)</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 definition 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.

On February 12, 2004, the Commission adopted a Second Report and Order resolving several issues on which the Commission sought comment in the FNPRM. First, the Commission modified the "all-or-nothing" rule to permit rate-of-return carriers to bring recently acquired price cap lines back to rate-of-return regulation. Second, the Commission granted rate-of-return carriers the authority immediately to provide geographically deaveraged transport and special access rates, subject to certain limitations. Third, the Commission merged Long Term Support (LTS) with Interstate Common Line Support (ICLS).

The Commission also adopted a Second FNPRM seeking comment on two specific plans that propose establishing optional alternative regulation mechanisms for rate-of-return carriers. In conjunction with the consideration of those alternative regulation proposals, the Commission sought comment on modification that would permit a rate-of-return carrier to adopt an alternative regulation plan for some study areas, while retaining rate-of-return regulation for other of its study areas. Comments on the Second FNPRM were due on April 23, 2004, and May 10, 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transfer of the 3650 Through 3700 MHz Band From Federal Government Use</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding seeks to determine whether the 3650 to 3700 MHz band should be used for unlicensed devices or some or all of the band should be used for unlicensed options.

In January 1999, the 3650-3700 MHz band (3650 MHz band) was transferred from government/non-government shared use to a mixed-use band.  In October 2000, in ET Docket No. 98-237, the FCC allocated the band to fixed and mobile terrestrial services on a co-primary basis, but in order to protect grandfathered Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) earth stations and Federal Government radiolocation operations, limited the mobile allocation to base stations use only.  At this same time, the FCC proposed licensing and service rules for fixed and mobile operations in the band.  Subsequently, in December 2002, in ET Docket No. 02-380, the FCC sought comment, in part, on the possibility of allowing unlicensed devices to operate in the 3650 MHz band.  In April 2004, in ET Docket No. 04-151, the FCC followed-up on this inquiry by releasing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) seeking comment on whether the 3650 MHz band should be used for unlicensed devices or part or all of the band should be used for licensed operations.

The NPRM proposes to allow unlicensed devices to operate in all, or part, of the 3650 MHz band at higher power levels than usually permitted for unlicensed services.  These devices would be subject to smart (or cognitive) requirements and other safeguards designed to prevent interference to the licensed FSS earth stations now resident in the band.  As with other unlicensed devices, these devices would not be permitted to cause interference to licensed services, such as the FSS earth stations, and would have to accept interference.  The NPRM also seeks comment on other options for the band, including licensed use of the band by fixed and mobile services, or segmenting the 3650 MHz band to provide for a combination of unlicensed and licensed terrestrial services.  The Notice seeks comment on issues related both to allocation changes necessary to set the relative priority between terrestrial and FSS licensed operations, and to licensing rule changes necessary to implement licensed terrestrial service operations.]]></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 were required to deploy LNP as of 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.

In the NRO Order and Fifth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission granted petitions for delegated authority to implement mandatory thousands-block pooling filed by the Public Service Commission of West Virginia, the Nebraska Public Service Commission, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the Michigan Public Service Commission, and the Missouri Public Service Commission.  In granting these petitions, the Commission permitted these states to optimize numbering resources and further extend the life of the specific numbering plan areas.  In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission sought comment on whether it should delegate authority to all states to implement mandatory thousands-block number pooling consistent with the parameters set forth in the NRO Order.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of EEO Rules and Policies (MM Docket No. 98-204)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.  The Third Report and Order adopted revised forms for broadcast station and MVPDs Annual Employment Report.  In the Fourth NPRM, comment was sought regarding public access to the data contained in the forms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Broadcast Multiple and Cross-Ownership Limits </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2002, the Commission undertook a comprehensive review of its broadcast multiple and cross-ownership limits examining: cross ownership of TV and radio stations; local TV ownership limits; national TV cap; and dual network rule.

The Report and Order replaced the newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership and radio and TV rules with a tiered approach based on the number of television stations in a market.  Petitions for Reconsideration are pending.  Also, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals remanded portions of the Commission's decisions. In June 2006, the Commission adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking initiating the 2006 review of the broadcast ownership rules.  The further notice also sought comment on how to address the issues raised by the Third Circuit.  Additional questions are raised for comment in a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Space Station Licensing Reform (IB Docket 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.

In the First Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission determined that different procedures were better-suited  for different kinds of satellite applications.  For most geostationary orbit (GSO) satellite applications, the Commission adopted a first-come, first-served approach.  For most non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite applications, the Commission adopted a procedure in which the available spectrum is divided evenly among the qualified applicants.  The Commission also adopted measures to discourage applicants from filing speculative applications, including a bond requirement, payable if a licensee misses a milestone.  The bond amounts originally were $5 million for each GSO satellite, and $7.5 million for each NGSO satellite system.    These were interim amounts.  Concurrently with the First Report and Order, the Commission adopted an FNPRM to determine whether to revise the bond amounts on a long-term basis.

In the Second Report and Order, the Commission adopted a streamlined procedure for certain kinds of satellite license modification requests.

In the Third Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission adopted a standardized application form for satellite licenses, and adopted a mandatory electronic filing requirement for certain satellite applications.

In the Fourth Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission extended the mandatory electronic filing requirement to all satellite applications.

In the Fifth Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission revised the bond amounts based on the record developed in response to FNPRM.  The bond amounts are now $3 million for each GSO satellite, and $5 million for each NGSO satellite system.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has adopted rules that require all entities seeking FCC authorization for satellite services to address orbital debris mitigation as part of their application for FCC authorization.  Orbital debris consists of artificial objects orbiting the Earth that are not functional spacecraft.  In addition, the Commission established requirements for the removal of geostationary spacecraft from operational orbits at the end of their useful lives and amended the Commission's rules regarding orbit raising maneuvers, the use of inclined orbits, and orbital longitudinal tolerance station-keeping requirements.  The Commission indicated that it will seek further comment on the application of the Commission's longitudinal tolerance station-keeping requirements for Fixed-Satellite space stations to space stations in the Mobile-Satellite Service and remote sensing services.]]></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.

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 September 21, 2004, the Commission released an Order adopting a limited safe harbor period from the prohibition on placing automatic telephone dialing systems or prerecorded message calls to wireless numbers when such calls are made to numbers that have been recently ported from wireline service to wireless service.  In addition, the Commission amended its existing safe harbor rules for telemarketers subject to the do-not-call registry to require such telemarketers to access the do-not-call list every 31 days, rather than every three months.  

On February 18, 2005, the Commission released a Second Order on Reconsideration to Address issues raised in petitions for reconsideration of the Commission's 2003 TCPA Report and Order.  

On December 9, 2005 the Commission released an NPRM proposing to amend the fax advertising rules to implement the Junk Fax Protection Act of 2005.  On April 5, 2006, the Commission adopted a Report and Order and Third Order on Reconsideration amending its facsimile advertising rules.  On April 5, 2006, the Commission released a Public Notice seeking comment on a petition for declaratory ruling filed by ACA International, which asks the Commission to clarify that the TCPA's restriction on calls to wireless numbers do not apply to creditors calling to recover payments.  The period for filing comments on ACA's petition closed on May 22, 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commission Rules Concerning Disruptions to Communications </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice of proposed rulemaking proposed to extend the Commission's disruption reporting requirements to communications providers who are not wireline carriers.  The proposal will allow the Commission to obtain the necessary information regarding service disruptions in an efficient and expeditious manner and to achieve significant concomitant public interest benefits.

The further notice of proposed rulemaking expands the record in the proceeding to focus specifically on the unique communications needs of airports, including wireless and satellite communications. In this regard, the Commission requested comment on the additional types of airport communications (e.g., wireless, satellite) that should be required to file service disruption reports--particularly from a homeland security and defense perspective. These types of airport communications may include, for example, communications that are provided by ARINC as well as commercial communications (e.g., air-to-ground and ground-to-air telephone communications) as well as intra-airline commercial links. The Commission also requested comment on whether the outage-reporting requirements for special facilities should be extended to cover general aviation airports (GA) and, if so, what the applicable threshold criteria should be.

The Report and Order extended the Commission's disruption reporting requirements to communications providers who are not wireline carriers. The Commission also streamlined compliance with the reporting requirements through electronic filing with a "fill in the blank" template and by simplifying the application of that rule. In addition, the Commission delegates authority to the Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology, to make the revisions to the filing system and template necessary to improve the efficiency of reporting and to reduce, where reasonably possible, the time for providers to prepare, and for the Commission staff to review, the communications disruption reports required to be filed. These actions will allow the Commission to obtain the necessary information regarding service disruptions in an efficient and expeditious manner and to achieve significant concomitant public interest benefits.

The Commission received nine petitions for reconsideration in this proceeding, which are pending.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Broadband Over Power Line Systems </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice of proposed rulemaking proposes to amend part 15 of the Commission's rules to adopt new requirements and measurement guidelines for a new type of carrier current system that provides access to broadband services using electric utility company power lines.

The Report and Order adopted new requirements and measurement guidelines for a new type of carrier current system that provides access to broadband services using electric utility companies' power lines. This new technology offers the potential for the establishment of a significant new medium for extending broadband access to American homes and businesses. Given that power lines reach virtually every residence and business in every community and geographic area in this country, Access BPL service could be made available nearly everywhere. This new broadband delivery medium could also serve to introduce additional competition to existing cable, DSL, and other broadband services. We believe these actions will promote the development of BPL systems by removing regulatory uncertainties for BPL operators and equipment manufacturers while ensuring that licensed radio services are protected from harmful interference.

The Office of Engineering and Technology announced that the United Telecom Council (UTC) will serve as the Access Broadband over Power Line (Access BPL) database manager.

The Memorandum Opinion and Order, amended part 15 of the Commissions rules regarding the unlicensed operation of Access broadband over power line (BPL) systems.  Specifically, the rules were amended to change the exclusion zone requirement for the ten listed radio astronomy facilities to a consultation requirement, and to add a new exclusion zone for one Very Large Array (VLA) radio astronomy observatory site at 73.0-74.6 MHz.  The Commission also amended the rules to add prospective protection for relocated aeronautical facilities and to correct the coordinates and email contact for the aeronautical facilities subject to BPL consultation.  The Commission affirmed the July 7, 2006 deadline for requiring certification for any equipment manufactured, imported or installed on BPL systems, with the proviso that uncertified equipment already in inventory can be used for replacing defective units or to supplement equipment on existing systems for one year within areas already in operation.  The Commission believes these changes furthers the development and growth of BPL devices.  The Commission denied the petitions for reconsideration in all other respects.]]></ABSTRACT>

The ESV R&O is significant because it furthers two major goals of the Commission: (1) To facilitate the market-driven deployment of broadband technologies and (2) to maximize the use of available spectrum to advance new technologies while minimizing interference to existing satellite services, such as Fixed Services (FS) and Fixed Satellite Services (FSS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>IP-Enabled Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice seeks comment on ways in which the Commission might categorize IP-enabled services for purposes of evaluating the need for applying any particular regulatory requirements. It poses questions regarding the proper allocation of jurisdiction over each category of IP-enabled service. The notice then requests comment on whether the services comprising each category constitute telecommunications services or information services under the definitions set forth in the Act. Finally, noting the Commissions statutory forbearance authority and title I ancillary jurisdiction, the notice describes a number of central regulatory requirements (including, for example, those relating to access charges, universal service, E911, and disability accessibility), and asks which, if any, should apply to each category of IP-enabled services.

On June 16, 2005, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that public information collections set forth in the First Report and Order were being submitted for review to the office of management and budget.

On July 27, 2005, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that the information collection requirements adopted in the First Report and Order were approved in OMB No. 3060-1085 and would become effective on July 29, 2005.

On August 31, 2005, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice of the comment cycle for three Petitions for Reconsideration and/or Clarification of the First Report and Order.

On July 10, 2006, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that it had adopted on June 21, 2006, rules that make interim modifications to the existing approach for assessing contributions to the Federal universal service fund (USF or Fund) in order to provide stability while the Commission continues to examine more fundamental reform.

On June 8, 2007, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that it had adopted on April 2, 2007, an item strengthening the Commissions rules to protect the privacy of customer proprietary network information (CPNI) that is collected and held by providers of communications services, and a further notice of proposed rulemaking seeking comment on what steps the Commission should take, if any, to secure further the privacy of customer information.

On August 6, 2007, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that it had adopted on May 31, 2007, and item extending the disability access requirements that currently apply to telecommunications service providers and equipment manufacturers under section 255 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to providers of interconnected voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, as defined by the Commission, and to manufacturers of specially designed equipment used to provide those services. In addition, the Commission extended the Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) requirements contained in its regulations to interconnected VoIP providers.

On August 7, 2007, the Commission published in the Federal Register a notice that a petition for reconsideration of the CPNI order described above had been filed.

On August 16, 2007, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that it had adopted on August 2, 2007 an item amending the Commissions Schedule of Regulatory Fees by, inter alia, incorporating regulatory fee payment obligations for interconnected VoIP service providers, which shall become effective November 15, 2007, which is 90 days from date of notification to Congress.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the First Report and Order in EB Docket No. 04-296 the Commission adopted rules that expanded the reach of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to cover digital communications services that Americans increasingly use to receive news and entertainment, namely, digital television and radio, digital cable, and satellite television and radio.

In the Second Report and Order in EB Docket No. 04-296 the Commission took various steps to increase the reliability, security, and efficacy of the nations EAS network, including : (1) Requiring EAS Participants to accept a message using Common Alerting Protocol v1.1 (CAP) no later than 180 days after FEMA publicly publishes its adoption of such standard; (2) requiring EAS Participants to adopt Next Generation EAS delivery systems no later than 180 days after FEMA publicly releases standards for those systems; (3) preserving the current EAS network but enhanced its effectiveness, scope, and redundancy by enabling EAS delivery system upgrades and by including Wireline Video Providers in EAS; (4) requiring EAS Participants to transmit State and local EAS alerts originated by governors or their designees no later than 180 days after FEMA publishes its adoption of the CAP standard, provided that the State has a Commission-approved EAS State plan that provides for delivery of such alerts; and (5) concurrently adopting a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to explore certain EAS-related issues, including provision of EAS alerts to disabled Americans and to Americans who do not speak English.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unlicensed Operation of the 3650-3700 Band (ET Doc. No. 04-151)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice of proposed rulemaking proposed to maximize the efficient use of the 3650-3700 MHz band.  The proposal would allow unlicensed devices to operate in either all, or portions of, this radiofrequency (RF) band under flexible technical limitations with smart/cognitive features that should prevent interference to licensed satellite services.  The proposal fostered the introduction of new and advanced services to the American public, especially in rural areas.

The Report and Order adopted rules that provide for nationwide, non-exclusive, licensing of terrestrial operations, utilizing technology with a contention-base protocol, in the 3650-3700 MHz band. The Commission also adopted a streamlined licensing mechanism with minimal regulatory entry requirements that will encourage multiple entrants and stimulate the rapid expansion of wireless broadband servicesespecially in rural American and will also serve as a safeguard to protect incumbent satellite earth stations from harmful interference.

In the MO&O, the Commission addressed several petitions for reconsideration and an emergency motion for stay that were filed in response 3650 MHz Allocation Order in ET Docket No. 98-237.

In light of its full review of the refreshed record in this proceeding, and in light of the decisions made in the companion R&O, the Commission denied the aspects of the petitions that challenge and seek to reverse the allocation decisions made in the 3650 MHz Allocation Order.   

The Commission denied the motion for stay.  When the Commission established the November 30, 2000, filing deadline, it did so because it found that additional new FSS facilities permitted by the Freeze MO&O could affect the use of the 3650-3700 MHz band by the terrestrial services.  By deciding in this Order to maintain the FSS allocation changes made in the 3650 MHz Allocation Order, the Commission, reaffirmed its conclusion that allowing additional primary FSS earth stations in the 3650 MHz band could negatively affect the prospects for viable FS/MS terrestrial operations.  

The Memorandum Opinion and Order addressed petitions for reconsideration filed in response to the Commissions Report and Order relating to the 3650-3700 MHz band (3650 MHz band) proceeding.  The Commission affirmed its previous decisions to create a spectrum environment that will encourage multiple entrants and stimulate the expansion of broadband service to rural and under served areas.  To facilitate rapid deployment in the band, the Commission maintains the previously adopted, non-exclusive licensing scheme.  The clarification and modification will facilitate operation of the widest variety of broadband technologies with minimal risk of interference in both the near and long terms.  They should further reduce the potential for co-channel interference, provide additional protections to the multiple users in the band under the current licensing regime, and create incentives for the rapid development of broadly compatible contention technologies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unlicensed Operation in the TV Broadcast Bands  (ET Doc. No. 04-186)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice of  proposed rulemaking proposes to amend the Commissions rules to allow unlicensed radio transmitters to operate in the broadcast television spectrum at locations where that spectrum is not being used.  We believe that the proposals set forth will provide for more efficient and effective use of the TV spectrum and will have significant benefits for the public by allowing the development of new and innovative types of unlicensed broadband devices and services for businesses and consumers.

In the First Report and Order, the Commission took a number of steps towards allowing the introduction of new low power devices in the broadcast television spectrum (TV bands) on channels/frequencies that are not being used for authorized services (hereinafter referred to as TV band devices).  The goal in this proceeding is to allow such devices to operate on unused television channels in locations where such operations will not result in harmful interference to TV and other authorized services.  The Commission believes that this plan will provide for more efficient and effective use of the TV spectrum and will significantly benefit the public by allowing the development of new and innovative types of devices and services for businesses and consumers, without disrupting television and other authorized services using the TV bands.  Because transmissions in the TV band are subject to less propagation attenuation than transmissions in other bands where lower power operations are permitted (such as unlicensed operations in the 2.4 GHz band), operations in the TV bands can benefit a wide range of service providers and consumers by improving the service range of wireless operations, thereby allowing operators to reach new customers.  While there will be significant benefits to the public from its actions, the Commission recognizes that it must balance these benefits with the need to protect authorized services in the TV bands from harmful interference. 

The Further NPRM  proposed to allow low power transmitters to operate in the TV broadcast bands at locations where spectrum is not being used by authorized services without causing harmful interference to these services.  The Further NPRM seeks comment on whether these TV band devices should be authorized on a licensed, unlicensed or hybrid basis.  It would propose to require TV band devices to incorporate smart radio features to detect vacant TV channels and prevent harmful interference from TV band devices to authorized services operating in the TV bands.  These features would include the abilities to 1) monitor spectrum prior to transmitting to ensure that it is not in use by authorized services, 2) switch frequencies or cease transmitting if an authorized service begins using a previously unused frequency, 3) adjust transmit power to the minimum needed to establish a link, 4) determine geographic location and access a database to determine which channels are in use, and/or 5) receive a control signal and select the operating frequency based on data in the control signal.

These proposals, if adopted, will prove beneficial to manufacturers and users of low power transmitters because they will provide for more efficient and effective use of the TV spectrum and allow the development of new and innovative types of wireless devices and communication services for businesses and consumers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unlicensed Devices and Equipment Approval (ET Docket No. 03-201) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice of proposed rulemaking proposed to update section 15.247 of the rules to allow the use of more efficient antenna technologies with unlicensed devices.

The Report and Order updates several technical rules for unlicensed radiofrequency devices in part 15 of the Commissions rules. The rule changes will allow device manufacturers to develop expanded applications for unlicensed devices and will allow unlicensed device operators, including Wireless Internet Service providers greater flexibility to modify or substitute parts as long as the overall system operation is unchanged.  The changes are part of an ongoing process of updating our rules to promote more efficient sharing of spectrum used by unlicensed devices and remove unnecessary regulations that inhibit such sharing.  The Commission received one petition for reconsideration in this proceeding.

The Second Report and Order amended the Commissions rules to provide for more efficient equipment authorization of both existing modular transmitter devices and emerging partitioned (or split) modular transmitter devices.  These rule changes will benefit manufacturers by allowing greater flexibility in certifying equipment and providing relief from the need to obtain a new equipment authorization each time the same transmitter is installed in a different final product.  The rule changes will also enable manufacturers to develop more flexible and more advanced unlicensed transmitter technologies.  The Commission further found that modular transmitter devices authorized in accordance with the revised equipment authorization procedures will not pose any increased risk of interference to other radio operations. 

The Further NPRM, seeks comment on whether there is a need to require unlicensed transmitters operating in the 915 MHz band under sections 15.247 and 15.249 of the rules to comply with a spectrum etiquette requirement, and the impact that requiring an etiquette would have on the development and operation of unlicensed 915 MHz devices operating under those rule sections.  The Commission also seeks comment on the particular etiquette suggested by Cellnet that would require digitally modulated spread spectrum transmitters operating in the 915 MHz band under section 15.247 of the rules to operate at less than the 1-watt maximum power if they are continuously silent less than 90 percent of the time within a 0.4 second interval.  This etiquette would require that the maximum permitted power level decrease in accordance with a specified formula as the silent interval between transmission decreases.  The Commission further seeks comment on alternatives to the etiquette suggested by Cellnet.

The Memorandum Opinion and Order dismissed two petitions for reconsideration of the rules adopted in the Report and Order, 69 FR 54027, September 7, 2004, in this proceeding.  It dismissed a petition for reconsideration filed by Warren C. Havens and Telesaurus Holdings GB LLC (Havens) requesting that the Commission suspend the rule changes adopted for unlicensed devices in the 902-928 MHz (915 MHz) band until such time as it completes a formal inquiry with regard to the potential effect of such changes to Location and Monitoring Service (LMS) licensees in the band.  The Commission also dismissed a petition for reconsideration filed by Cellnet Technology (Cellnet) requesting that the Commission adopt spectrum sharing requirements in the unlicensed bands, e.g., a spectrum etiquette, particularly in the 915 MHz band.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hearing Aid-Compatible Telephones (WT Docket Nos. 01-309 &amp; 06-150)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This item modifies exemptions for wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require that digital wireless phones be capable of being effectively used with hearing aids.  It finds that modifying the exemption will extend the benefits of wireless telecommunications to individuals with hearing disabilities--including emergency, business, and social communications--thereby increasing the value of the wireless network for all Americans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules and Regulations Implementing Minimum Customer Account Record Exchange Obligations on All Local and Interexchange Carriers (CG Docket No. 02-386)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 20, 2002, the Commission issued a Public Notice directing interested parties to file comments on issues raised in a petition filed with the Commission by Americatel Corporation and on a separate petition filed by AT&T, Sprint, and MCI.  The petitions asked the Commission to address problems relating to the exchange of customer account records between local and long distance telephone service providers.  On March 25, 2004, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CG Docket No. 02-386 seeking further comment on the two petitions and seeking comment as to whether to replace the current voluntary industry process for the exchange of customer account information between local and long distance service providers with mandatory, minimum standards applicable to all such providers.  

On February 25, 2005, the Commission released a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CG Docket No. 02-386.  The Report and Order adopted final rules governing the exchange of customer account information between local and long distance telephone service providers.  The Commission adopted these rules to help to ensure that consumers' phone service bills are accurate and that their carrier selection requests are honored and executed without undue delay.  In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission sought comment on the need for rules governing the exchange of customer account information between local telephone service providers.  

On April 15, 2005 and June 15, 2005, a coalition of local and long distance carriers proposed minor modifications and clarifications to section 64.4002 of the Commission's CARE rules.  On August 29, 2005, the Commission released a public notice requesting comment on the coalition's proposed clarifications and modifications.  Notice of the proposed changes was published in the Federal Register on September 7, 2005 (70 FR 53137).  The comment cycle established by the August 29 public notice closed October 3, 2005.

On September 13, 2006, the Commission released an Order on Reconsideration adopting the clarifications and technical corrections to the Report and Order, as proposed by the coalition of carriers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Procedures Governing Amendments to FM Table of Allotments and Changes of Community of License in the Radio Broadcast Services (MB Docket 05-210)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rulemaking was initiated to reduce backlog in, and streamline, the FM allotment procedures and, to a lesser extent, streamline certain procedures pertaining to AM applications.  Although the Commission has made important changes to streamline the processing of radio broadcast applications, the basic procedures for amending the Table have not changed since 1982.  The Notice seeks comment on a number of specific rule and procedural changes in the handling of FM and AM applications and rulemaking petitions to amend the Table.  In the area of applications procedures, the Notice seeks comments on various proposals designed to encourage only bona fide proponents to submit petitions and to limit the complexity of such petitions.  If these changes are adopted, it will expedite the approval and implementation on new and upgraded radio service to the public.  The Report and Order adopted the proposals from the notice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposes and seeks comment on a regulatory framework for licensing the operation of Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service (AMSS) systems to communicate with fixed satellite service (FSS) networks in the KU-Band frequencies.  Aircraft Earth Stations(AES) in the AMSS can be used to provide broadband telecommunications services on passenger, government, and executive/private aircraft.  The NPRM also seeks comment on licensing methods for AES terminals that will minimize the burdens upon applicants and licensees, while maintaining operational limitations necessary to avoid harmful interference.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Section 621(a)(1) of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 as Amended by the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 621(a)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, states in relevant part that "a franchising authority ...may not unreasonably refuse to award an additional competitive franchise."  The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("Notice") solicits comment on implementation of section 621(a)(1)'s directive, and whether the franchising process unreasonably impedes the achievement of the interrelated Federal goals of enhanced cable competition and accelerated broadband deployment and, if so, how the Commission should act to address that problem.

The subsequent Report and Order found that certain actions by local franchising authorities constitute an unreasonable refusal to award a competitive franchise within the meaning of section 621(a)(1).  The item included a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on how the findings should affect existing franchises.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Communications Commission initiated this rulemaking in order to develop a framework that ensures that, as the telecommunications industry shifts from narrowband to broadband services, consumer protection needs are met by all providers of broadband Internet access service, regardless of the underlying technology providers use to offer the service.  The Commission sought comment on whether adopting regulations, pursuant to its ancillary jurisdiction under title I of the Communications Act, to address consumer privacy, unauthorized changes to service, truth-in-billing, network outage reporting, discontinuance of service, rate averaging, and enforcement concerns, would be desirable and necessary as a matter of public policy.  The Commission also sought comment on whether it should instead rely on market forces to address some or all of these areas of potential concern.  The rulemaking also explores whether there are other areas of consumer protection related to wireline broadband Internet access service for which the Commission should adopt regulations pursuant to its ancillary jurisdiction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Part 23 of the Commission&apos;s Rules, Regarding International Fixed Public Radio Service (IB Docket No. 05-216)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[International Fixed Public Radiocommunication Services (IFPRS) is fixed wireless service between the United States and foreign points.  Currently, this service is offered primarily for communications between Puerto Rico and Caribbean countries.  In the NPRM, the Commission proposes elimination of part 23, which contains procedural and technical rules for IFPRS, and makes IFPRS operators subject to part 101, which currently covers domestic fixed wireless service.

This proceeding is needed to simplify the Commission's rules governing fixed wireless service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Spectrum Requirements for Advanced Medical Technologies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking focused on ways to better accommodate the operation of implanted and body-worn medical transmitters in the 400 MHz band.  These devices use wireless technologies for increasingly sophisticated and beneficial health care applications.  Such applications currently include cardiac defibrillators for heart patients and real-time blood sugar monitoring devices for diabetics, and may, in the future, include  applications as diverse as brain, muscle and nerve stimulation techniques for treating an array of conditions from Parkinson's disease to severe chronic depression.  The Commission proposed to modify its current rules and designate an additional two megahertz of spectrum in the adjacent 401-402 MHz and 405-406 MHz bands in order to appropriately provide needed capacity and more flexible operating rules for beneficial medical radio communication devices and thereby serve the public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DTV Signals Pursuant to the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Consistent with the provisions of section 204 of Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 (SHVERA) (Pub. L. 108-447,  204, 118 Stat 2809, 3393 3423-24, (2004), codified at 47 U.S.C. 339(c)(1)) and the Commissions Report to Congress (SHVERA Report) (Study of Digital Television Field Strength Standards and Testing Procedures (SHVERA Report), ET Docket No. 05-182, 20 FCC Rcd 19504 (2005)), the Commission proposes to amend the rules to include procedures for measuring the field strength of digital television signals.  These new measurement procedures are needed to account for the differences that are inherent between the NTSC (analog) and digital television signals.  While the proposed procedures would be generally applicable for measuring digital TV signal strengths, they would specifically be used in determining if a household is served by a digital television signal as part of an evaluation of the households eligibility to receive a distant digital network signal from a satellite television provider.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recommendations of the Independent Panel Reviewing the Impact of Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in EB Docket No. 06-119, the Commission initiated a comprehensive rulemaking to address and implement the recommendations presented by the Independent Panel Reviewing the Impact of Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks (Independent Panel). The Independent Panel's report described the impact of one of the worst natural disasters in the Nation's history as well as the overall public and private response efforts. In addition, the report included recommendations which relate to: (1) Pre-positioning the communications industry and the government for disasters in order to achieve greater network reliability and resiliency; (2) improving recovery coordination to address existing shortcomings and to maximize the use of existing resources; (3) improving the operability and interoperability of public safety and 911 communications in times of crisis; and (4) improving communication of emergency information to the public. The Commission, in this proceeding, is to take the lessons learned from this disaster and build upon them to promote more effective, efficient response and recovery efforts as well as heightened readiness and preparedness in the future. To accomplish this goal, the Commission invited comment on what actions the Commission can take to address the Independent Panel's recommendations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Commission takes steps necessary to protect the federal universal service program and promote stability in the market for prepaid calling cards. In particular, the Commission will treat certain prepaid calling card service providers as telecommunications service providers. As such, these providers must pay intrastate access charges for interexchange calls that originate and terminate in the same State and interstate access charges on interexchange calls that originate and terminate in different states. They also must contribute to the Federal Universal Service Fund (USF) based on their interstate revenues, subject to the limitations set forth below. The Commission also addresses a petition for interim relief filed by AT&T and adopts interim rules to facilitate compliance with the universal service and access charge rules. Specifically, on an interim and prospective basis, the Commission requires all prepaid calling card providers to comply with certain reporting and certification requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Commercial Spectrum Enhancement Act (CSEA) and Modernization of the Commission&apos;s Competitive Bidding Rules and Procedures; WT Docket 05-211  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding implements rules and procedures needed to comply with the recently enacted Commercial Spectrum Enhancement Act (CSEA).  It establishes a mechanism for reimbursing federal agencies out of spectrum auction proceeds for the cost of relocating their operations from certain eligible frequencies that have been reallocated from Federal to non-Federal use.  It also seeks to improve the Commissions ability to achieve Congresss directives with regard to designated entities and to ensure that, in accordance with the intent of Congress, every recipient of its designated entity benefits is an entity that uses its licenses to directly provide facilities-based telecommunications services for the benefit of the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Third Periodic Review of the Commissions Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital Television; MB Docket No: 07-91
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Congress has mandated that after February 17, 2009, full-power broadcast stations must transmit only in digital signals, and may no longer transmit analog signals.  This proceeding is the Commissions third periodic review of the transition of the nations broadcast television system from analog to digital television ("DTV").  The Commission conducts these periodic reviews in order to assess the progress of the transition and make any necessary adjustments to the Commissions rules and policies to facilitate the introduction of DTV service and the recovery of spectrum at the end of the transition.  In this review, the Commission considers how to ensure that broadcasters complete construction of their final post-transition (digital) facilities by the statutory deadline.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Operation in the 57-64 GHz Band (ET Docket No. 07-133)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposed to amend the requirements of the Commission's rules applicable to transmitters operating on an unlicensed basis in the 57-64 GHz frequency range (the 60 GHz-band"). The proposed rule changes would allow longer communication ranges for unlicensed point-to-point 60 GHz broadband digital systems and thereby extend the ability of such systems to supply very high speed broadband service to office buildings and other commercial facilities.  The Commission believes these proposals would encourage broader deployment of point-to-point digital systems in this band without increasing the potential for harmful interference, and thereby further the Commissions objective of promoting the availability of broadband connectivity to all Americans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment for Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast Translator Stations (MB Docket No. 07-172)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 14, 2006, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) filed a Petition for Rulemaking proposing that the Commission amend its rules to allow AM broadcast stations to operate FM translator stations.  The NAB Petition proposed that AM stations be permitted to license and/or use FM translator stations to retransmit their AM service as a fill-in service.  Specifically, the NAB proposed that AM stations be allowed to use FM translator stations to rebroadcast the AM signal, provided that no portion of the 60 dBu contour of any such FM translator station extends beyond the smaller of: (a) A 25-mile radius from the AM transmitter site; or (b) the 2 mV/m daytime contour of the AM station.  The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes rules permitting the use of FM translators by AM stations and examines the issues related to such a rule change, including the issue of program origination at night over FM translators by AM daytime-only stations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding was initiated to review the use of exclusive contracts for the provision of video services to multiple dwelling units (MDUs) or other real estate developments.  Potential competitors seeking to enter the multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) marketplace have alleged that the use of exclusive contracts for the provision of video services to MDUs or other real estate developments serves as a barrier to entry.  Accordingly, the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking solicits comment on whether the use of exclusive contracts in the MDU video provider market unreasonably impedes the achievement of the interrelated Federal goals of enhanced multichannel video competition and accelerated broadband deployment and, if so, how the Commission should act to address that problem.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exclusive Service Contracts for Provision of Video Services in Multiple Dwelling Units and Other Real Estate Developments (MB Docket No. 07-51)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 612 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended sets forth the commercial leased access requirements.  Cable operators are required to set aside channel capacity for commercial use by video programmers unaffiliated with the operator.  Section 616 of the Communications Act directs the Commission to establish regulations governing program carriage agreements and related practices between cable operators or other multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) and video programming vendors.  The Commissions program carriage rules prohibit a cable operator or other MVPD from requiring a financial interest in any program service as a condition for carriage of such service, from coercing a programmer to grant exclusive carriage rights, or from engaging in conduct that unreasonably restrains the ability of an unaffiliated programming vendor to compete fairly by discriminating against such vendor on the basis of affiliation or nonaffiliation.

The leased access and program carriage rules were topics of significant focus of the Commission in its review of the Adelphia, Comcast, and Time Warner transaction.  In the context of the review of the transaction, the Commission determined to review the program carriage complaint process and initiate a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding leased access.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DTV Consumer Education Initiative; MB Docket No. 07-148</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Congress has mandated that after February 17, 2009, full-power broadcast stations must transmit only in digital signals, and may no longer transmit analog signals.  From the beginning of the digital transition, the Commission has been committed to working with representatives from industry, public interest groups, and Congress to make the significant benefits of digital broadcasting available to the public.  The digital transition will make valuable spectrums available for both public safety uses and expanded wireless competition and innovation.  It will also provide consumers with better quality television picture and sound, and make new services available through multicasting.  These innovations, however, are dependent upon widespread consumer understanding of the benefits and the mechanics of the transition.  While the Commission has been engaged in various DTV outreach efforts, this proceeding was initiated to seek public comment on whether there are additional steps relating to consumer education about the digital transition which the Commission should take.]]></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>Unlicensed Devices in the 5 GHz Band</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes to amend the rules governing the operation of Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) devices, including Radio Local Area Networks (RLANS) to make available an additional 255 MHz of spectrum in the 5.47-5.725 GHz band.

The Report and Order amends the Commissions rules to make an additional 255 megahertz of spectrum available in the 5.470-5.725 GHz band for Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) devices, including Radio Local Area Networks (RLANs).  The action aligns the frequency bands used by U-NII devices in the United States with bands in other parts of the word.  The Commission believes that the increased demand that will result from expanding the markets for U-NII devices, coupled with the operational flexibility provided by the U-NII rules, will lead manufacturers to develop a wide range of new and innovative unlicensed devices and thereby increase wireless broadband access and investment.

The Order extends the one year transition period for Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) equipment operating in the 5.250-5.350 GHz band.  This was necessary to allow a sharing protocol to be developed.

The Public Notice refreshed the record on issues raised in petitions for reconsideration of the Report and Order in the proceeding.  The petitions sought reconsideration and clarification, in part, of the equipment authorization requirements for Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) devices employing dynamic frequency selection (DFS).   The Commission requested additional comments on the DFS issues raised in the petitions for reconsideration and, in particular, how these issues are addressed by the Project Teams revised compliance and measurement procedures and the Commissions rules. 

The Memorandum Opinion and Order addressed petitions for reconsideration and clarification of the Commissions rules for 5 GHz U-NII devices adopted in the Report and Order in ET Docket No. 03-122 and revised the measurement procedures for certifying U-NII devices in the 5 GHz band.  The Commissions  action will ensure that all applications for equipment certification of U-NII devices comply with the U-NII requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice of proposed rulemaking seeks to facilitate opportunities for flexible, efficient, and reliable spectrum use employing cognitive radio technologies.  The Commission seeks to ensure that our rules and policies do not inadvertently hinder development and deployment of such technologies, but instead enable a full realization of their potential benefits.

The Report and Order modified the Commissions rules to reflect ongoing technical developments in cognitive radio technologies.  In light of the Commissions experience with these rules, the Commission modified and clarified the equipment rules to further facilitate the development and deployment of software defined and cognitive radios.

The Memorandum Opinion and Order responded to two petitions concerning the rules adopted in the Report and Order in this proceeding (Cognitive Radio Report and Order). The Commission granted a petition for clarification filed by Cisco Systems, Inc. (Cisco) requesting that the Commission clarify the requirement to approve certain devices as software defined radios, and its policy on the confidentiality of software that controls security measures in software defined radios.  The Commission also granted in part and denied in part a petition for reconsideration filed by Marcus Spectrum Solutions (MSS) requesting that the Commission clarify the rules concerning the submission of radio software source code, clarify the rules concerning the certification of software defined amateur radio equipment, and initiate a further proceeding to adopt regulatory requirements for high-power, high-speed digital-to-analog (D/A) converters.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Order terminated the Interference Immunity Performance Specifications proceeding.  The Commission found that with the passage of time, the NOI and record in this proceeding became outdated.  Further, to the extent receiver interference immunity performance specifications are desirable they may be addressed in proceedings that are frequency band or service specific.  As there did not appear to be a need for further Commission action, the Commission terminated this proceeding without prejudice to its substantive merits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Narrowbanding for Private Land Mobile Radio Service  (ET Doc. No. 04-243)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice of  proposed rulemaking proposes to revise our transition plan for Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) licensees in the 150.05-150.8 MHz, 162-174 MHz, and 406.1-420 MHz bands. This action will provide for an orderly transition from wideband to narrowband operations, increase spectrum efficiency, maintain compatibility with Federal operations, permit PLMR licensees to operate using existing equipment with greater confidence that their critical operations will not be suddenly required to cease transmissions, and significantly reduce the probability that wideband PLMR operations will interfere with new Federal operations.

The Report and Order amended the procedures by which forty Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) channels, which are located in frequency bands that are allocated primarily for Federal use, are to transition to narrower, more spectrally efficient channels in a process commonly known as narrowbanding.  This action was taken because the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) adopted a more rapid narrowbanding schedule in the 150.05-150.8 MHz, the 162.0125-173.2 MHz and 173.4-174 MHz (162-174 MHz), and the 406.1-420 MHz bands (collectively, the Federal bands) than the Commission has required for its licensees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DTV Tuner Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice proposed to adjust the schedule by which new broadcast television receivers are required to include the capability to tune digital television (DTV) signals.  The Commission request comment on whether there is need to revise the implementation schedule of the DTV tuner requirement for receivers with screen sizes 25 to 36 inches and, if so, how that schedule should be revised to achieve our goal that all new television receivers include DTV tuning capability by July 1, 2007. 

The Report and Order maintains the schedule of July 1, 2005, by which new broadcast television receivers with screen sizes 25-36 inches are required to include the capability to receive over-the-air digital television (DTV) broadcast signals.  This action ensures that DTV tuner equipped sets are available to consumers this year, and will also serve to promote the expeditious completion of the transition from analog to digital broadcast television service.

The Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposed to advance the date on which all new television receiving equipment must include the capability to receive over-the-air DTV broadcast signals from July 1, 2007 to a date no later than December 31, 2006.  This revision would require all television receivers to include DTV tuners on a schedule not later than the statutory target date for the end of the DTV transition, when analog television service is to end.  This proposal is intended to apply the DTV tuner requirement to all TV receivers on an advanced schedule that will allow a more rapid completion of the DTV transition while providing manufacturers with adequate time to include DTV tuners in all their TV products.

The Order denied in part and granted in part a Reconsideration/Clarification of the Second Report and Order in this proceeding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act and Broadband Access Services  (ET Docket No. 04-295)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Commission examined issues relating to the scope of CALEAs applicability to packet-mode services, such as broadband Internet access, and implementation and enforcement issues.  The Commission tentatively concluded that: (1) Congress intended the scope of CALEAs definition of telecommunications carrier to be more inclusive than that of the Communications Act; (2) facilities-based providers of any type of broadband Internet access service, whether provided on a wholesale or retail basis, are subject to CALEA; (3) certain Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services are subject to CALEA; (4) the phrase in section 102 of CALEA a replacement for a substantial portion of the local telephone exchange service calls for assessing the replacement of any portion of an individual subscribers functionality previously provided via "plain old telephone service" ("POTS"); and (5) call-identifying information in packet networks is "reasonably available" under section 103 of CALEA if the information is accessible without "significantly modifying a network."  We sought comment on: (1) The feasibility of carriers relying on a trusted third party to manage their CALEA obligations and to provide to law enforcement agencies ("LEAs") the electronic surveillance information they require in an acceptable format; and (2) whether standards for packet technologies are deficient and should not serve as safe harbors for complying with section 103 capability requirements. 

The Commission issued a Declaratory Ruling to clarify that commercial wireless "push-to-talk" services continue to be subject to the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act ("CALEA"), regardless of the technologies that Commercial Mobile Radio Services ("CMRS") providers choose to apply in offering them.  This ruling was issued at the request of, and in response to, a joint petition filed by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (collectively, "Law Enforcement").  

In the First Report and Order, the Commission determined that providers of facilities-based broadband Internet access services and providers of interconnected voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services--meaning VoIP service that allows a user generally to receive calls originating from and to terminate calls to the public switched telephone network (PSTN)--must comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). The new rule will enhance public safety and ensure that the surveillance needs of law enforcement agencies continue to be met as Internet-based communications technologies proliferate.

The Commission initiated this rulemaking to explore whether the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) should apply to providers of VoIP services that do not satisfy the Commissions definition of interconnected VoIP. The rulemaking also sought comment on what procedures the Commission should use to exempt a class or category of telecommunications carrier from CALEA, as well as the appropriateness of requiring something less than full CALEA compliance for certain classes or categories of providers of facilities-based broadband Internet access services. The rulemaking will also enhance public safety and ensure that the surveillance needs of law enforcement agencies continue to be met as Internet-based communications technologies proliferate.

The Commission received one petition for reconsideration and clarification.

The Second Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order (Second R&O and MO&O) addresses the assistance capabilities required, pursuant to section 103 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act  (CALEA) for facilities-based broadband Internet access providers and providers of interconnected Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP).  More generally, the Second R&O and MO&O specifies mechanisms to ensure that telecommunications carriers comply with CALEA.  The MO&O denies in part and grants in part a petition for reconsideration and clarification filed by the United States Telecom Association (USTelecom) relating to the compliance date for broadband Internet access providers and providers of interconnected VoIP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deposit Insurance Coverage; Stored Value Cards and Other Nontraditional Access Mechanisms</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDIC published a proposed regulation that would clarify the insurance coverage of funds subject to transfer or withdrawal through the use of stored value cards and other nontraditional access mechanisms.  This proposed rule is a revision of a proposed rule published by the FDIC in April of 2004 (the "First Proposed Rule").  See 69 FR 20558 (April 16, 2004).  The purpose of the revised proposed rule (the "Second Proposed Rule") is to address certain issues raised by commenters in response to the original proposal.  Through the Second Proposed Rule, the FDIC would add a new subsection to part 330 of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The new subsection would promote accuracy and consistency by insured depository institutions in reporting "deposits" for inclusion in an institution's assessment base. Also, the new subsection would provide guidance to the public about the insurance coverage of funds underlying nontraditional access mechanisms.]]></ABSTRACT>

Pursuant to section 312, the Agencies, acting in consultation and coordination, must: Establish guidelines for use by persons that furnish information to consumer reporting agencies (furnishers) regarding the accuracy and integrity of the consumer information that they furnish to those agencies; and prescribe regulations that require furnishers to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing the guidelines. Section 312 also requires the Agencies jointly to prescribe regulations that identify the circumstances under which a furnisher shall be required to reinvestigate a dispute concerning the accuracy of information contained in a consumer report on a consumer based on a direct request of the consumer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, Board, FDIC, OTS, NCUA, and FTC (Agencies) request comment on a proposal that would implement sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act).  As required by section 114, the Agencies are jointly proposing guidelines for financial institutions and creditors identifying patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity, that indicated the possible existence of identity theft.  The Agencies also are proposing joint regulations requiring each financial institution and creditor to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing the guidelines, including a provision requiring credit and debit card issuers to assess the validity of a request for a change of address under certain circumstances. In addition, the Agencies are proposing joint regulations under section 315 that provide guidance regarding reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when such a user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Industrial Banks Subsidiaries of Financial Companies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC is publishing for comment proposed rules that would impose certain conditions and requirements on each deposit insurance application approval and non-objection to a change in control notice that would result in an insured industrial loan company or industrial bank, becoming after the effective date of any final rules, a subsidiary of a company that is engaged soley in financial activities and that is not subject to consolidated bank supervision by the Federal Reserve Board or the Office of Thrift Supervision.  The proposed rules would also require that before any industrial bank may become a subsidiary of a company that is engaged solely in financial activities and that is not subject to Federal Consolidated Bank Supervision, such company and the industrial bank must enter into one or more written agreements with the FDIC. Simultaneously with the proposed rules, the FDIC is publishing a Notice to extend for one year its moratorium for applications for deposit insurance and change in control notices for industrial banks that will become subsidiaries of companies engaged in non-financial activities. By this action, however, the FDIC is not expressing any conclusion about the propriety of ownership or control of industrial banks by commercial companies. The FDIC has determined that it is appropriate to provide additional time for review of such ownership and the related issues by the FDIC and by Congress.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interagency Proposal for Model Privacy Form Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act   </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, Board, FDIC, OTS, NCUA, FTC, CFTC, and SEC (the Agencies) are proposing amendments to their rules that implement the privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act), Title V, Subtitle A. These rules require financial institutions to provide initial and annual privacy notices to their customers. As required under section 728 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 (Regulatory Relief Act or Act), the Agencies are proposing a safe harbor model privacy form that financial institutions may use to provide disclosures under the privacy rules. Institutions that use notices based on the Sample Clauses currently contained in most of the privacy rules would lose the benefit of a safe harbor for compliance with respect to those notices if they are provided more than one year following the date of publication of a final rule. Similarly, institutions that use notices based on the Sample Clauses in the SEC's privacy rule could no longer rely on the guidance provided with respect to those notices if they are provided more than one year following the date of publication of a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Domestic Capital Modifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the Agencies) are proposing revisions to the existing risk-based capital framework that would enhance its risk sensitivity without unduly increasing regulatory burden. These changes would apply to banks, bank holding companies, and savings associations (banking organizations). A banking organization would be able to elect to adopt these proposed revisions or remain subject to the Agencies' existing risk-based capital rules, unless it uses the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework proposed in the notice of proposed rulemaking published on September 25, 2006 (Basel II NPR).

In this notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR or Basel IA), the Agencies are proposing to expand the number of risk weight categories, allow the use of external credit ratings to risk weight certain exposures, expand the range of recognized collateral and eligible guarantors, use loan-to-value ratios to risk weight most residential mortgages, increase the credit conversion factor for certain commitments with an original maturity of one year or less, assess a charge for early amortizations in securitizations of revolving exposures, and remove the 50 percent limit on the risk weight for certain derivative transactions. A banking organization would have to apply all the proposed changes if it chose to use these revisions.

Finally, in Section III of this NPR, the Agencies seek further comment on possible alternatives for implementing the "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework" (Basel II) in the United States as proposed in the Basel II NPR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Large-Bank Deposit Insurance Determination Modernization Proposal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC is seeking comment on whether and how the largest insured depository institutions should be required to modify their deposit account systems to speed depositor access to funds in the event of a failure. Today, insured institutions do not track the insured status of their depositors yet the FDIC must make deposit insurance coverage determinations in the event of failure. The current process might result in unacceptable delays if used for an FDIC-insured institution with a large volume of deposit accounts. Such delays would have an impact on depositors' ability to access their funds and are likely to result in a resolution (of the failed institution) significantly more costly to the Deposit Insurance Fund. As currently contemplated, the options discussed in the ANPR would apply only to the 152 insured depository institutions with more than 250,000 deposit accounts and more than $2 billion in domestic deposits, as well as seven additional institutions with total assets over $20 billion, less than 250,000 deposit accounts and at least $2 billion in domestic deposits. In December 2005 the FDIC issued a prior advance notice of proposed rulemaking on this subject. This ANPR is a follow-up to that issuance. The FDIC is seeking comment on all aspects of the ANPR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are proposing revisions to the market risk capital rule to enhance its risk sensitivity and introduce requirements for public disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information about the market risk of a bank or bank holding company. The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) currently does not apply a market risk capital rule to savings associations and is proposing in this notice a market risk capital rule for savings associations. The proposed rules for each agency are substantively identical.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Annual Independent Audits and Reporting Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC is amending part 363 of its regulations concerning annual independent audits and reporting requirements, which implement section 36 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), as proposed, but with modifications to the composition of the audit committee and the effective date. The FDIC's amendments raise the asset-size threshold from $500 million to $1 billion for internal control assessments by management and external auditors. For institutions between $500 million and $1 billion in assets, the amendments require the majority, rather than all, of the members of the audit committee, who must be outside directors, to be independent of management and create a hardship exemption. The amendments also make certain technical changes to part 363 to correct outdated titles, terms, and references in the regulation and its appendix. As required by section 36, the FDIC has consulted with the other federal banking agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expanded Examination Cycle for Certain Small Insured Depository Institutions and U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, Board, FDIC, and OTS are jointly issuing and requesting public comment on these interim rules to implement section 605 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 (FSRRA), and Public Law 109-473, (collectively the Examination Amendments).  The Examination Amendments permit insured depository institutions (institutions) that have up to $500 million in total assets, and that meet certain other criteria, to qualify for an 18 month (rather than 12-month) on site examination cycle.  Prior to enactment of FSRRA, only institutions with less than $250 million in total assets were eligible for an 18-month on-site examination cycle. The OCC, Board, and FDIC are making parallel changes to their regulations governing the on-site examination cycle for U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks (foreign bank offices), consistent with the International Banking Act of 1978 (IBA). In addition to implementing the changes in the Examination Amendments, the Agencies are clarifying when a small insured depository institution is considered "well managed" for purposes of qualifying for an 18-month examination cycle.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission amended its part 157 blanket certification regulations to expand the scope and scale of activities that may be undertaken pursuant to blanket certificate authority.  The Commission expanded the types of natural gas projects permitted under blanket authority and increased the cost limits that apply to blanket projects.  In addition, the Commission clarified that a natural gas company is not necessarily engaged in an unduly discriminatory practice if it charges different customers different rates for the same service based on the date that customers commit to service.

The Commission also provided that the remaining 24 Reliability Standards will remain pending at the Commission until further information is provided. The Commission also added new regulations that require that each Reliability Standard identify the subset of users, owners and operators to which the Reliability Standard applies and that each Reliability Standard approved by the Commission must be posted on the ERO's Web site.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposes to make permanent interim regulations that respond to the Court of Appeals by making the standards of conduct inapplicable to the relationship between natural gas pipeline transmission providers and their energy affiliates.  The Commission also proposes to revise the definition of marketing, sales or brokering; make permanent the changes adopted in the interim rule for risk management employees and discretionary waivers.  The Commission will remove the regulations that permit transmission providers to share with their energy affiliates information necessary to maintain the operations of their transmission systems; add and revise various regulations to facilitate integrated resource planning and competitive solicitations.   The regulations will be revised to: (1) Require each 
transmission provider to post the name of its chief compliance officer and delete outdated references; (2) require that transmission provider employees certify that they completed standards of conduct training; and (3) revise the definition of affiliate for exempt wholesale generators.

The Commission grants clarification that the standards of conduct for natural gas transmission providers under the interim rule apply only to natural gas transmission providers affiliated with a marketing or brokering entity that conducts transportation transactions on such natural gas transmission provider's pipeline and that the definition for a marketing or brokering entity for a natural gas transmission provider is identical to the definition in the pre-Order No. 2004 standards of conduct.  The Commission also deferred all other requests for clarification or rehearing and will address them with the rulemaking in RM07-1-000.  (Docket No. RM07-6-000)]]></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>Optional Method of Filing Form FMC-18, Application for a License as an Ocean Transportation Intermediary (Docket No. 07-08)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC or Commission) amends its regulations relating to the method of filing Form FMC-18 "Application for a License as an Ocean Transportation Intermediary" (OTI) to provide for optional filing of OTI applications through a new electronic filing system. This optional filing system is intended to facilitate more efficient processing and review of applications for licensing. A filing fee of $250 will apply to new applicants for OTI licensing, and $125 for existing licensees who might want to use the optional electronic filing system to update their licensing records or to submit changes in the licensee's organization for which prior Commission approval is required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 have not previously been addressed in rules adopted by the Board. The Board will also consider issuing for public comment a proposed series of technical changes to Regulation Y necessitated by the GLB Act, as well as a general reorganization of Regulation Y. 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>

        <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 record-keeping 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 record-keeping requirements.  The Board notes that the Securities and Exchange Commission has, by order, granted the banks an exemption from compliance with the definition of broker until September 28, 2007. (See 72 FR 36742, June 29, 2007) In addition, the Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission, as required by the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006, have issued for comment proposed joint rules that would implement the "broker" exceptions in section 3(a)(4) of the Exchange Act. (See 71 FR 77522, December 26, 2006) The comment period on these proposed joint rules closed on March 26, 2007.  In light of these developments, the Board has delayed adopting a record keeping-rule pending completion of final joint rules implementing the "broker" exceptions.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation R--Definition of Terms and Exemptions Relating to the &quot;Broker&quot; Exemptions for Banks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Before the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (GBL Act), banks had a blanket exemption from the definition of broker.  The GBL Act removed the blanket exception and replaced it with 11 activity-based exceptions covering broad categories of bank securities "broker" activities.  As required by the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006, the Board and the Securities Exchange Commission issued for comment joint rules (Regulation R) implementing the "broker" exceptions for banks.  The comment period on these proposed joint rules closed on March 26, 2007.  Proposed Regulation R would implement the "broker" exceptions relating to bank trust and fiduciary, safekeeping and custody, and deposit "sweep" services, as well as the exception relating to "networking" arrangements between banks and broker-dealers. The Board notes that the Securities and Exchange Commission has, by order, granted the banks an exemption from compliance with the definition of broker until September 28, 2007. (See 72 FR 36742, June 29, 2007).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 26, 2006, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the Agencies) proposed revisions to the existing risk-based capital framework that were designed to enhance the risk-sensitivity of the framework without unduly increasing regulatory burden (Basel IA NPR).  Under the proposal, a banking organization could select to adopt the entire package of proposed revisions or could continue to apply the Agencies existing risk-based capital rules, unless it uses the Proposed Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework (Basel II NPR).  The comment period for both proposals ended on March 26, 2007.  Commenters to the proposals urged the Agencies to adopt the so-called Standardized Approach issued in final form by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2006.  In light of the comments received and other considerations, the Agencies are developing a proposal that would implement the Standardized Approach for non-Basel II banks.  This new proposal will replace the Basel IA NPR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, Board, FDIC, OTS, NCUA, and FTC (the Agencies) request comment on a proposal that would implement sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act).  The Agencies are jointly proposing guidelines for financial institutions and creditors identifying patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity, that indicates the possible existence of identity theft.  The Agencies also are proposing joint regulations requiring each financial institution and creditor to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing the guidelines, including a provision requiring credit and debit card issuers to assess the validity of a request for a change of address under certain circumstances.

In addition, the Agencies are proposing joint regulations that provide guidance regarding reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when such a user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency.

The final rules and guidelines would require each financial institution and creditor to develop and implement an identity theft prevention program that includes policies and procedures for detecting, preventing, and mitigating identity theft in connection with account openings and existing accounts.]]></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 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 to 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[On September 25, 2006, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the Agencies) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that would implement the Basel II Capital Accord advanced capital measurement approaches in the United States (Basel II NPR).  As proposed, the Basel II-based rules would be mandatory for some banking organizations and optional for others.  The Basel II NPR sets forth a new risk-based capital framework for organizations that have systems and risk management practices that can support the more complex and risk-sensitive regime.  The comment period ended on March 26, 2007.  On July 20, 2007, the Agencies issued a joint press release stating that the Agencies have reached an agreement regarding the implementation of Basel II in the United States.  A final rule is under development.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation V--Fair Credit Reporting (Docket Number: R-1203)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 4, 2003, the President signed into law the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act), Pub. L. 108-159, 117 Stat.1952, which amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Section 214 of the FACT Act adds a new section 624 of the FCRA. This new provision gives consumers the right to restrict a person from using certain information about a consumer obtained from an affiliate to make solicitations to that consumer. That section also requires the Agencies, in consultation and coordination with each other, to issue regulations in final form implementing section 214 not later than 9 months after the date of enactment.  These rules must become effective not later than 6 months after the date on which they are issued in final form. 

The proposed rules were issued by the Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are also required to issue regulations under new section 624 in consultation and coordination with the Agencies. The FTC published its proposed rule on June 15, 2004 (69 FR 33324), and the SEC published its proposed rule on July 8, 2004 (69 FR 42302).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Truth in Lending (Docket Number: R-1286)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board is conducting a review of Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA).  In June 2007, the Board published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend the regulation, and the regulation's official staff commentary, for rules affecting open-end (revolving) credit that is not home secured.  The Board published advance notices of proposed rulemakings seeking comment on a variety of issues affecting the open-end credit in December 2004 and October 2005.

The NPRM seeks comment, among other issues, on amendments that highlight fees and penalty rates in disclosures accompanying credit and charge card applications and solicitations, require a summary of terms when accounts are opened, and breakout costs for fees and interest on periodic statements.  The proposal implements amendments to TILA contained in federal bankruptcy reform legislation.  Advance notice would be required when penalty rates are imposed, and the time of advance notice for changed terms would be extended.  Two alternatives are proposed dealing with the "effective" annual percentage rate disclosed on periodic statements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 30, 2007, the Board issued a proposal to withdraw portions of the interim final rule that the Board issued on March 2001 to address the use of electronic disclosures consistent with the requirements of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act).  The 2001 interim final rule addresses the timing and delivery of electronic disclosures.  Compliance with the interim final rule is not mandatory.  The Board is proposing to remove portions of the 2001 interim final rule from the Code of Federal Regulations to reduce confusion about the status of the interim rule and simplify the regulation.  Portions of the 2001 interim rule that restate or cross reference provisions of the E-Sign Act would be withdrawn; these provisions are unnecessary because the E-Sign Act is self-effectuating.  The Board is proposing to withdraw other provisions of the interim final rule because they impose undue burdens on electronic banking and commerce and may be unnecessary for consumer protection.  The proposal would retain the substance of certain provisions in the 2001 interim final rule that provide regulatory relief or guidance regarding the use of electronic disclosures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation B--Equal Credit Opportunity (Docket Number: R-1281)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 30, 2007, the Board issued a proposal to withdraw portions of the interim final rule that the Board issued on March 2001 to address the use of electronic disclosures consistent with the requirements of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act).  The 2001 interim final rule addresses the timing and delivery of electronic disclosures.  Compliance with the interim final rule is not mandatory.  The Board is proposing to remove portions of the 2001 interim final rule from the Code of Federal Regulations to reduce confusion about the status of the interim rule and simplify the regulation.  Portions of the 2001 interim rule that restate or cross reference provisions of the E-Sign Act would be withdrawn; these provisions are unnecessary because the E-Sign Act is self-effectuating.  The Board is proposing to withdraw other provisions of the interim final rule because they impose undue burdens on electronic banking and commerce and may be unnecessary for consumer protection.  The proposal would retain the substance of certain provisions in the 2001 interim final rule that provide regulatory relief or guidance regarding the use of electronic disclosures.]]></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 considered a revised proposal.

On December 4, 2003, the President signed into law the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act) Pub. L. 108-159, 117 Stat. 1952, which amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In general, the FACT Act contains provisions designed to enhance the ability of consumers to combat identity theft, increase the accuracy of consumer reports, and allow consumers to exercise greater control regarding the type and amount of marketing solicitations they receive.  The FACT Act requires the Board to issue regulations or guidelines to implement various provisions of the statute.  Many of these actions must be undertaken jointly or in consultation with other federal agencies. Each rulemaking under the FACT Act is separately listed herein. The agencies will take further action on the October 2000 proposal once the rulemakings required by the FACT Act are completed, which is likely to be after January 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Truth in Lending (Docket Number: R-1217)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2004, the Board published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to commence a review of the open-end (revolving) credit rules of the Board's Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and the regulation's official staff commentary. The Board periodically reviews each of its regulations to update them, if necessary.

The ANPRM seeks comment on a variety of specific issues relating to three broad categories: the format of open-end credit disclosures, the content of the disclosures, and the substantive protections provided under the regulations. It solicits comments on the scope of the review, and also requests commenters to identify other issues that the Board should consider addressing in the review.

In October 2005, the Board published a second ANPRM that seeks comment on issues relating to the implementation of amendments to TILA contained in federal bankruptcy reform legislation.  The Board plans to incorporate the implementation of these TILA amendments into the Regulation Z review.

This regulation (Docket Number: R-1217) has been incorporated into Regulation Z (Docket Number: R-1286)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation E--Electronic Fund Transfers (Docket Number: R-1270)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[When a debit card is used at an electronic terminal, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) and Regulation E require that a receipt setting forth transaction information be made available to the consumer at that time.  The receipt requirement applies whenever an EFT is made at an electronic terminal, regardless of the amount of the transaction.  An electronic terminal is defined as any electronic device (other than a telephone operated by a consumer) through which a consumer may initiate an EFT.  Electronic terminals include, but are not limited to, POS terminals, ATM machines, and cash dispensing machines.

The start-up, servicing, and maintenance costs associated with providing terminal receipts for debit card transactions could pose a significant obstacle to industry's ability to offer, and consumer's ability to use, cashless payment options in certain retail environments.  For example, in environments that exclusively handle small-dollar transactions, such as vending machines and parking meters, installing and servicing additional equipment capable of providing terminal receipts may not be cost-effective.  For public mass-transit systems, the time required to provide each consumer with a receipt for debit card transactions would cause delays that significantly conflict with the transit systems' need to handle a heavy volume of transactions within short time periods.  Given the practical difficulties posed by the receipt requirement in small-dollar transactions, the Board proposed in December 2006 to eliminate the receipt requirement for transactions of $15 or less.  In July 2007, the Board adopted the final rule substantially as proposed (72 FR 36589).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission continues its review of current rules and guides to identify any that should be modified or rescinded. The Commission will continue to consider ways to streamline and improve the review program. 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. On December 29, 2006, the Commission published a notice announcing the one rule and two guides it plans to review in 2007 and modifying the 10-year schedule for its regulatory review program (71 FR 78390). The Commission expects to issue its next notice about the current rule and guide review schedule during early 2008.]]></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 became effective on November 1, 1993 (58 FR 44769; Aug. 25, 1993) (parts of rule became effective September 24, 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 and 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. It also 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 (62 FR 11750). 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 to 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 received 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 (63 FR 58524). 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 (64 FR 61; Jan. 4, 1999), and a workshop-conference was held on May 20 to 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.

        <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 10-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 anticipates forwarding a recommendation to the Commission by the end of 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Premerger Notification Rules and Report Form</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Premerger Notification Rules (HSR Rules or 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.

On April 8, 2004, the Commission issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to reconcile, as far as practical, the current disparate treatment of corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and other types of noncorporate entities under the rules (69 FR 18686).  On February 22, 2005, the Commission issued its final rule, which was effective on April 7, 2005 (70 FR 11502; Mar. 8, 2005).  Among other things, the amendments address acquisitions of interests in unincorporated entities; formations of unincorporated entities; and the application of certain exemptions, including the intraperson exemption. On August 15, 2005, the Commission published an NPRM that would amend 16 CFR part 803 to allow filing parties to provide Internet links to certain documents in lieu of paper copies (70 FR 47733). The comment period closed on October 14, 2005. On December 12, 2005, a final rule was published (70 FR 73369). It became effective on January 11, 2006. The rule change also addressed the issue of stale filings, in which parties make Premerger Notification filings but fail within the ensuing 18 months to comply with a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material.  Under the new rule, such filings expire 18 months after they are received by the agencies. On December 30, 2005, the Commission issued another final rule, effective upon publication, requiring filers to use 2002 NAICS codes and to use 2002 revenue data for base year reporting (replacing the 1997 codes and revenue information) (70 FR 77312). This rule provides for a 30-day grace period during which filers may use 1997 or 2002 information, provided all parties to the transaction use the same year and same codes. Beginning January 30, 2006, all filers must use 2002 data and codes.  

On June 23, 2006, the Commission published a final rule providing for electronic submission of premerger notification filings. 71 FR 35995. This rule was effective upon publication.

Pursuant to the 2000 Amendments to section 7A of the Clayton Act, codified at 15 U.S.C. 18a, the filing thresholds are revised annually based on the change in gross national product. These thresholds have recently been raised with the baseline reporting figure of the size of transaction test under section 7A(a)(2)(B)(i) now $59.8 million, which was effective 30 days from publication in the Federal Register. 72 FR 2692 (Jan. 22, 2007). Finally, staff anticipates sending its recommendation to the Commission regarding a proposed exemption for acquisitions of 10 percent or less of an issuer's voting securities by the end of 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Effective in 1985 and last reviewed in 1995, the Used Motor Vehicle Trade Regulation Rule (or "Used Car Rule") sets out the general duties of a used vehicle dealer and provides for a label on the window of the car describing the condition of the car and whether it is warrantied by the used vehicle dealer. The Used Car Rule also prohibits the used vehicle dealer from making statements contrary to those on the label. Staff plans to forward a recommendation to the Commission regarding the review during fall 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Issued in 1975, and last amended in 1995, this rule requires that, when sellers advertise merchandise, they must have a reasonable basis for stating or implying that they can ship within a certain time. If sellers make no shipment statement, they must have a reasonable basis for believing that they can ship within 30 days. In the event of delays in shipment, the rule establishes notification procedures whereby buyers have the option either to agree to the delay or to cancel the order and receive a prompt refund. The rule applies when a consumer places an order by mail or telephone and also by indirect use of telephone via facsimile or computer.  

On September 11, 2007, the Commission requested comments on the rule as part of the Commission's systematic review of all current Commission rules and guides. The Commission seeks comments on possible non-substantive changes to the rule to bring it into conformity with changing conditions, including consumers using means other than the telephone to access the Internet when ordering, consumers paying for merchandise by demand draft or debit card, and merchants using alternative methods to make prompt rule-required refunds. The Commission also seeks 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 comment period closes on November 7, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (the FACT Act or FACTA or the Act) was enacted on December 4, 2003.  The Act requires that the Commission undertake a number of rulemakings and studies. 

EFFECTIVE DATES  

The FACT Act required that the FTC, together with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve), jointly adopt the effective dates of portions of the statute where the effective dates are not prescribed within 2 months of enactment of the Act. On December 24, 2003, the Federal Reserve and the FTC jointly adopted Interim Final Rules that established December 31, 2003, as the effective date for provisions of the Act that determine the relationship between the Fair Credit Reporting Act and State laws and provisions that authorize rulemakings or other implementing actions by agencies (68 FR 74467). On December 24, 2003, the Federal Reserve and FTC also issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) requesting comments and specifying the effective dates for the other provisions of the FACT Act for which the statute does not specify an effective date (68 FR 74529).  On February 11, 2004, the Commission and the Federal Reserve published joint final rules that established a schedule of effective dates for many of the provisions of the FACT Act for which the Act itself did not specifically provide an effective date.  The Agencies also made final what had previously been interim; namely, establishing December 31, 2003, as the effective date for provisions of the Act that determine the relationship between the Fair Credit Reporting Act and State laws and provisions that authorize rulemakings or other implementing actions by agencies (69 FR 6526).

CREDIT REPORTS AND RELATED ISSUES 

The FACT Act requires that the Commission adopt rules concerning credit reports and credit scores and related issues. Most of the proceedings are to be conducted jointly with the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Office of Thrift Supervision (the banking agencies), and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The rulemaking mandates are detailed below.

Circumvention  

With respect to Credit Reports, the Act requires that the Commission issue rules by March 3, 2004, on preventing corporate and technological circumvention of the obligations imposed on nationwide consumer reporting agencies. On February 24, 2004, the FTC published an interim final rule prohibiting consumer reporting agencies from avoiding treatment as nationwide consumer reporting agencies and requested comments on this measure (69 FR 8532). The interim final rule became effective on March 3, 2004, and the comment period closed on April 23, 2004.  Staff has reviewed the comments and is considering what additional action is appropriate.

Free Credit Reports 
 
The FACT Act required that the Commission issue rules concerning: (1) A centralized source for free consumer reports by nationwide consumer reporting agencies and nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies; (2) the provision of free credit reports by nationwide consumer reporting agencies and nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies; and (3) a streamlined process for consumers to obtain free credit reports from specialized bureaus. On March 19, 2004, the Commission requested comments on a proposed rule that would establish a centralized source, a standardized form, and a streamlined process through which consumers may request a free annual file disclosure from each nationwide specialty consumer reporting agency (69 FR 13192). On June 24, 2004, the Commission published a final rule effective on December 1, 2004, for the provision of free reports to consumers, including (1) A central source whereby consumers can make one request and receive their consumer report from each of the three major nationwide consumer reporting agencies and (2) rules with respect to the provision of free consumer reports by "nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies," as defined in new FCRA section 603(w) (69 FR 35468).

Use of Consumer Information by Affiliates for Marketing Purposes  

The Commission, along with the banking agencies, the NCUA, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is required to issue rules to implement the Acts provisions allowing consumers to opt out of marketing by affiliates. The Commission issued an NPRM on June 15, 2004 (69 FR 33324). The extended comment period closed on August 16, 2004. The agencies reviewed the comments and published a final rule on October 30, 2007 (72 FR 61424).  

Enhancement of Opt Out Notice (Prescreen Rule)  

The Commission, in consultation with the banking agencies and the NCUA, was also required to issue rules concerning the enhancement of notices to consumers about their right to opt out of prescreened solicitations. FACTA calls for these notices to be presented in a format and in a type, size, and manner that is simple and easy to understand.  The Commission published an NPRM on October 1, 2004 (69 FR 58861), and subsequently published the final rule on January 31, 2005 (70 FR 5022). The prescreen rule was effective on August 1, 2005.

Disposal of Credit Report Information  

By December 4, 2004, the Commission was required, in coordination with the banking agencies, NCUA, and the SEC, to issue rules concerning the proper disposal of credit report information and records. On April 20, 2004, the Commission published an NPRM and Request for Comments (69 FR 21388). The Commission and the other agencies published a Final Disposal Rule on November 24, 2004 (69 FR 68690). The Disposal Rule was effective on June 1, 2005.

Credit Bureau Charge for Credit Scores  

The Commission is authorized to determine a fair and reasonable fee that consumer reporting agencies may charge for disclosure of credit scores. On November 8, 2004, the Commission issued an ANPRM seeking comments on rules effecting fair and reasonable fees for credit scores (69 FR 64698). The comment period closed on January 5, 2005, and the staff has reviewed comments and is considering what action is appropriate. 

Furnisher Rules 

The Commission is required, in coordination with the banking agencies and NCUA, to issue guidelines and rules concerning the accuracy of information furnished to consumer reporting agencies, and rules relating to the ability of consumers to dispute information directly with furnishers of information. The Commission and the other agencies issued an ANPRM for public comment on March 22, 2006 (71 FR 14419).  The comment period closed on May 22, 2006. The agencies have assessed the comments, and expect to publish proposed rules by November 2007.

Other Required and Discretionary Actions on Credit Reports and Related Issues  

With respect to credit reports and related issues, the Act requires the Commission jointly with the Federal Reserve to issue rules addressing the form, content, time, manner, definitions, exceptions, and model of the risk-based pricing notice. The agencies expect to publish a risk-based pricing proposal for public comment during 2007. Finally, the Commission may issue rules regarding the compilation and submission to nationwide consumer reporting agencies of all complaints of inaccurate or incomplete files and the treatment of medical information in credit reporting agency files.

IDENTITY THEFT 

The FACT Act requires that the Commission adopt rules concerning identity theft and related issues. Some of the proceedings are to be conducted jointly (or in consultation) with the banking agencies and the NCUA. The rulemaking mandates are detailed below.

Summary of Rights 

The Act requires the Commission to promulgate a summary of consumers identity theft rights and to mount a public education campaign regarding consumers new identity theft rights. The Commission issued the proposed summary of consumers' identity theft rights on July 16, 2004 (69 FR 42616). The Commission issued the final model summary on November 30, 2004 (69 FR 69776). 

Definitions 

FACTA requires the Commission to define certain terms that are relevant to consumers new identity theft rights ("Identity Theft Definitions Rule") and to promulgate in a rule the length of time for active duty/military alerts. On April 28, 2004, the Commission published an NPRM proposing rules that would establish definitions for "identity theft" and "identity theft report"; the duration of an "active duty alert"; and the "appropriate proof of identity" for purposes of sections 605A (fraud alerts and active duty alerts), 605B (consumer report information blocks), and 609(a)(1) (truncation of Social Security numbers) of the FCRA, as amended by the FACT Act (69 FR 23370). The Commission published an Identity Theft Definitions Rule on November 3, 2004 (69 FR 63922). 

Model Forms and Procedures 

FACTA also requires the Commission in consultation with the banking agencies and the NCUA to develop a model form and procedures to be used by identity theft victims for contacting and informing creditors and consumer reporting agencies of the fraud. On April 27, 2005, the Commission issued notice of its publication of guidance containing such model forms and procedures (70 FR 21792).  This guidance, "Take Charge: Fighting Back Against Identity Theft," is available at www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft or by writing to FTC, Consumer Response Center, Room 130-B, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580. 

Red Flags 

The Commission is also required to jointly promulgate with the banking agencies and the NCUA identity theft "red flag" guidelines and rules to implement these guidelines (the "ID theft red flag rule") and an address change rule (the "address change rule"). The ID theft red flag rule would, among other things, require card issuers to investigate requests for card changes. The address change rule would require credit report users to investigate when the address on a credit report differs from the address on a credit application. The agencies jointly published proposed rules on July 18, 2006 (71 FR 40786). The comment period closed on September 18, 2006. The agencies reviewed the comments and issued a final rule on November 9, 2007 (72 FR 63718).

MISCELLANEOUS  

On May 20, 2004, the Commission issued a final rule effective on June 21, 2004, making technical changes to earlier rules, establishing a general organizational scheme for subchapter F of chapter I of title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and setting forth general provisions applicable to all FTC rules under the FCRA (69 FR 29061).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Identity Theft Red Flags--The Federal Trade Commission is charged with enforcing the requirements of sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act) (15 U.S.C. 1681m(e) and 1681c(h)(2)), which require the Agency to issue these regulations jointly with other Agencies.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The objective of the proposed regulations is to establish guidelines for financial institutions and creditors identifying patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity, that indicate the possible existence of identity theft. In addition, the proposed regulations require credit and debit card issuers to establish policies and procedures to assess the validity of a change of address request. They also set out requirements for policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when such a user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency described in section 603(p) of the FCRA. The legal basis for the proposed regulations is 15 U.S.C. 1681m(e) and 1681c(h)(2).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The standards in the proposed Rule are flexible, and take into account a covered entitys size and sophistication, as well as the costs and benefits of alternative compliance methods. Nevertheless, the Commission sought comment and information on the need, if any, for alternative compliance methods that, consistent with the statutory requirements, would reduce the economic impact of the rule on such small entities, including the need, if any, to delay the rules effective date to provide additional time for small business compliance. If the comments filed in response to this notice identify small entities that are affected by the rule, as well as alternative methods of compliance that would reduce the economic impact of the rule on such entities, the Commission will consider the feasibility of such alternatives and determine whether they should be incorporated into the final rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Addressing identity theft in these circumstances will not only benefit customers, but will also benefit the financial institution or creditor, and any person (who has no relationship with the financial institution or creditor) whose identity has been misappropriated. The requirements will involve some increased costs for affected parties. Most of these costs will be incurred by those required to draft identity theft programs and annual reports. There will also be costs associated with training, and for credit and debit card issuers to establish policies and procedures to assess the validity of a change of address request. In addition, there will be costs related to developing reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when a user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency, and for furnishing an address that the user has reasonably confirmed is accurate. The Commission does not expect, however, that the increased costs associated with regulations will be significant.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risks of identity theft to a customer may include: financial, reputation, and litigation risks that occur when another person uses a customers account fraudulently, such as by using the customers credit card account number to make unauthorized purchases. The risks of identity theft to the safety and soundness of the financial institution or creditor may include: compliance, reputation, or litigation risks for failure to adequately protect customers from identity theft; operational and financial risks from absorbing losses to customers who are the victims of identity theft; or losses to the financial institution or creditor from opening an account for a person engaged in identity theft. Addressing identity theft in these circumstances would not only benefit customers, but would also benefit the financial institution or creditor, and any person (who has no relationship with the financial institution or creditor) whose identity has been misappropriated. Nevertheless, the proposed requirements are drafted in a flexible manner that allows entities to develop and implement different types of programs based upon their size, complexity, and the nature and scope of their activities. As a result, the FTC staff expects that the burden on these low risk entities will be minimal (i.e., not significant).]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (the CAN-SPAM Act or the Act) Public Law No. 108-187, 15 U.S.C. 7701 to 7703, 18 U.S.C. 1307, was enacted on December 16, 2003. The Act required that the Commission issue regulations: (1) Prescribing marks for e-mail messages containing sexually oriented material within 120 days of enactment, on April 14, 2004, and (2) defining the relevant criteria to facilitate the determination of the "primary purpose" of an electronic message within 12 months of enactment or by December 16, 2004. On April 13, 2004, the Commission announced its final rule prescribing a mark to be included in commercial e-mail that contains sexually oriented materials (Final Rule) (69 FR 21024; Apr. 19, 2004); (NPRM) (69 FR 4263; Jan. 29, 2004). The final rule on labels went into effect on May 19, 2004.  On March 11, 2004, the Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) and requested comments on how to determine an electronic mail messages primary purpose, including comment on criteria that would facilitate this determination in the mandatory portion of the rulemaking pursuant to the Act (69 FR 11776). The Commission announced the final rule regarding an electronic mail message's primary purpose on December 16, 2004 (Final Rule) (70 FR 3110; Jan. 19, 2005); (NPRM) (69 FR 50091; Aug. 13, 2004). The rule became effective on March 28, 2005. 

The CAN-SPAM Act also provided the Commission with discretionary rulemaking authority in several other areas identified below. After issuing an ANPRM (69 FR 11776; Mar. 11, 2004), the Commission published an NPRM on May 12, 2005, that proposed rule provisions on five topics: (1) Defining the term person, a term used repeatedly throughout the Act but not defined there; (2) modifying the definition of sender to make it easier to determine which of multiple parties advertising in a single e-mail message will be responsible for complying with the Acts opt-out requirements; (3) clarifying that Post Office boxes and private mailboxes established pursuant to United States Postal Service regulations constitute "valid physical postal addresses" within the meaning of the Act; (4) shortening from 10 days to 3 the time a sender may take before honoring a recipient's opt-out request; and (5) clarifying that to submit a valid opt-out request, a recipient cannot be required to pay a fee, provide information other than his or her e-mail address and opt-out preferences, or take any steps other than sending a reply e-mail message or visiting a single Internet Web page (70 FR 25426). The comment period closed on June 27, 2005, and staff is currently reviewing and analyzing the comments received in response to the NPRM in order to formulate a final recommendation to the Commission by late 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Privacy of Consumer Financial Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is related to RIN 3084-AA85.  In 2000, the Commission and banking agencies published rules (Privacy Rule) for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Acts requirement that financial institutions provide a notice of its privacy policies and practices to its customers.  The Privacy Rule does not specify any format or standardized wording for these notices. In response to concerns expressed by representatives of financial institutions, consumers, privacy advocates, and Members of Congress, the agencies conducted a workshop in December 2001 to consider how financial institutions could provide more useful privacy notices to consumers.  Subsequently, the agencies published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) and requested comments on a variety of subjects including the goals, elements, language, costs and benefits, and permissible aspects of alternative privacy notices (68 FR 75164; Dec. 30, 2003). The comment period ended on March 29, 2004. The seven agencies thereafter funded consumer research and testing to inform the development of alternative privacy notices that are easier for consumers to understand and use.

As directed by section 728 of the Financial Services Relief Act of 2006, Public Law  No. 109-351, which added section 503(e) to the GLB Act, the Commission, together with seven other Federal agencies (the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the National Credit Union Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission), must propose a model form that may be used at the option of financial institutions for the privacy notices required under GLB within 280 days after enactment, or by April 11, 2007. On March 29, 2007, the agencies published an NPRM proposing a model form of the prototype privacy notice developed during the consumer research testing project undertaken by first six, then seven, of these agencies.  72 FR 14940.  Errata were published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2007, 72 FR 16875.  The comment period ended on May 29, 2007.  Staff of the agencies are reviewing the comments and expect to take action by August 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Telemarketing Sales Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is related to RIN 3084-AA86. In 1995, the Commission issued the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR), 16 CFR part 310, under the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act (TSR Act), 15 U.S.C. 6101 to 6108. The TSR requires telemarketers to disclose information; prohibits misrepresentations; limits the times telemarketers may call consumers; prohibits calls to consumers who ask not to be called again; and sets payment restrictions for the sale of certain goods and services. In the fall 2003 agenda, the Commission reported that it had completed its review of the TSR as required by the TSR Act. Among other changes, the amended TSR established the National Do-Not-Call Registry, enabling consumers to register their preference not to receive telemarketing calls (68 FR 4580; Jan. 29, 2003). To date, consumers have registered over 145 million telephone numbers on the Registry, which accepts home land line and personal cell phone numbers at http://www.donotcall.gov or 1-888-382-1222.  

On July 31, 2003, the Commission published a Final Rule further amending the TSR by establishing the fees that would be charged to entities engaged in telemarketing that access the National Do-Not-Call Registry (68 FR 45134).

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004, Public Law No. 188-199, 188 Stat. 3, Division B, title V (Appropriations Act), required that the Federal Trade Commission amend the TSR within 60 days of enactment to require telemarketers subject to the TSR to obtain from the FTC the list of telephone numbers on the National Do-Not-Call Registry once a month. After notice and comment, the Federal Trade Commission amended the TSR on March 23, 2004, requiring that telemarketers subject to the Rule access the National Do-Not-Call Registry and purge numbers on the registry from their call lists every month, instead of every quarter as the Rule originally required, and also allowing a consumer to assert a valid do-not-call complaint 30 days after entering his or her number rather than waiting 3 months as originally required (69 FR 16368; Mar. 29, 2004)(Final Rule); (69 FR 7330; Feb. 13, 2004)(NPRM). 

In the Appropriations Act, Congress also authorized the Commission to collect fees of $23.1 million in fiscal year 2004 to implement and enforce the amended TSR.  On July 30, 2004, the Commission published a final rule revising the fees charged for industry access to the National Do-Not-Call Registry (69 FR 45580) (Final Rule); (69 FR 23701; Apr. 30, 2004) (NPRM). On April 22, 2005, the Commission published a new NPRM to revise the fees charged the industry for access to the National Do-Not-Call Registry (70 FR 20848). The comment period ended on June 1, 2005, and the Commission thereafter announced a revised fee schedule that became effective on September 1, 2005 (70 FR 43273; July 27, 2005). On May 1, 2006, the Commission published an NPRM seeking comments about whether to review the fees charged the industry for access to the National Do-Not-Call Registry. 71 FR 25512. On July 31, 2006, the Commission issued a final rule revising the fee structure charged to industry. 71 FR 43048.  

Under the new structure, the annual fee for each area code of data accessed will be $62, and the maximum amount charged to entities accessing 280 area codes or more will be $17,050. The rulemaking still allows telemarketers to obtain the first five area codes of data for free and allows those entities exempt from the Registrys requirements to obtain access at no charge.  The revised fees were effective on September 1, 2006. During spring 2008, staff anticipates that the Commission will publish a new NPRM to revise the fees charged the industry for access to the National Do-Not-Call Registry.

On November 17, 2004, the Commission published an NPRM proposing to create a new safe harbor that would allow prerecorded messages in certain defined situations, announcing the Agency's forbearance from enforcing the TSR's current call abandonment provisions against callers that engage in prerecorded message telemarketing so long as they comply with the proposed change, and seeking comment on a requested change in the method used to calculate the percentage of abandoned calls. 69 FR 67287. The comment period ended on January 10, 2005. 

On October 4, 2006, the Commission issued a revised NPRM and announced that it would not create a new safe harbor for prerecorded messages and therefore would end its forbearance policy permitting such messages effective January 2, 2007. 71 FR 58716. The revised and extended comment period ended on December 18, 2006. 71 FR 65762. The revised NPRM proposes to make explicit that the TSR's call abandonment provision bars sellers and telemarketers from delivering a prerecorded message when a person answers a telemarketing call, except in the very limited circumstances permitted in the call abandonment safe harbor and when a consumer has consented, in writing, to receive such calls.  The revised NPRM also proposes to change the method for measuring the maximum allowable call abandonment rate in the call abandonment safe harbor provision from 3 percent per day per calling campaign to 3 percent per 30-day period per calling campaign.  

On November 3, 2006, the Commission granted a petition requesting a 40-day extension to the original 30-day comment period  on the revised NPRM from November 6, 2006, to December 18, 2006. 71 FR 65762 (Nov. 9, 2006). On December 18, 2006, the Commission granted four petitions requesting an extension of its enforcement forbearance policy permitting prerecorded calls subject to certain conditions until the conclusion of the prerecorded call rulemaking proceeding. 71 FR 77634 (Dec. 27, 2006).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is related to RIN 3084-AA44, which was withdrawn in 2000.  The FDICIA assigns to the FTC responsibilities for certain non-federally insured depository institutions (DIs). The FTC is required to prescribe by regulation or order the manner and content of certain disclosures required of DIs that lack Federal deposit insurance. The Departments of Commerce, Justice, State, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1993, containing the Commission's appropriation for 1993, provided that none of the funds were available for expenses authorized by section 151 of FDICIA.  Legislation containing the Commission's appropriation for fiscal years 1994 to 2003 contained the same provision. However, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004 and 2005 did not include the provision prohibiting the FTC from spending funds on the tasks imposed by section 151 of FDICIA. The Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) requesting public comments on proposed disclosure requirements to implement section 151 on March 16, 2005 (70 FR 12823). The comment period ended on June 15, 2005. Staff anticipates forwarding its recommendation to the Commission by the end of 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[From the review of the current Franchise Rule (RIN 3084-AA63), staff recommended that the rule be split into two parts: One part addressing franchise issues and the second addressing business opportunity issues.  On April 6, 2006, the Commission announced publication of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on this proposed Business Opportunity Rule. The proposed rule addresses fraud in the offer and sale of business opportunity ventures by requiring business opportunity sellers to furnish specific pre-sale disclosures to prospective purchasers, as well as prohibiting specific conduct that the rulemaking record and the Commission's law enforcement experience show are prevalent problems. The extended comment period closed on July 17, 2006. A subsequent extended rebuttal comment period closed on September 29, 2006.  Staff anticipates publishing its report in December 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemakings Pursuant to Energy Policy Act of 2005</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 137 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires the Commission to consider "the effectiveness of the consumer products labeling program in assisting consumers in making purchasing decisions and in improving energy efficiency."  As part of this effort, the Act directs the Commission to consider "changes to the labeling rules (including categorical labeling) that would improve the effectiveness of consumer product labels." The Act gave the Commission 90 days to initiate the rulemaking and 2 years to complete it. On November 2, 2005, the Commission published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comments about the effectiveness of the FTC's energy labeling regulations for consumer products, generally referred to as the Appliance Labeling Rule (16 CFR part 305). The Commission then held a public workshop on May 3, 2006, which examined the effectiveness of the Appliance Labeling Rule and where participants discussed comments already submitted for the ANPRM. The Commission announced publication of an NPRM on January 30, 2007. 72 FR 68636 (Feb. 13, 2007). After reviewing the comments, the Commission announced a final rule on August 7, 2007. 72 FR 49947 (Aug. 29, 2007).  The rule will become effective on February 29, 2008.

Section 137(a) of the Act also mandates that, within 18 months of enactment, the Commission issue by rule labeling requirements for the electricity used by ceiling fans to circulate air in a room. The Commission published an NPRM on June 21, 2006 (71 FR 35584). The comment period ended on September 8, 2006. The final rule on ceiling fan labeling was published on December 28, 2006. 71 FR 78057. The rule will be effective on January 1, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Management Regulation (FMR) Amendment 2003-2; FMR Case 2003-102-1;  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 was 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). As a result, the deadline was extended to December 31, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Management Regulation (FMR) Amendment 2006-03; Case 2006-102-1; Motor Vehicle Management</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An amendment to FMR 102-34 was drafted to incorporate recent changes in the program. The significant changes included in the interim rule published in May 2006 include:

1. The Fleet Average Fuel Economy Standards for FY 2005, 2006, and 2007 for light trucks are revised.
 
2. Motor vehicle identification requirements are changed. All required identifiers are now to be 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. GSA intends to amend the FMR to reflect the practice currently permitted under the waiver.

3. UNICOR is the mandatory supplier of official U.S. Government license plates. Lorton Prison in Virginia, the supplier of license plates for a number of years, is 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. A letter code on the license plate now identifies a specific agencys vehicles. For example, the letter G designates GSA Fleet.

5. The Federal Management Regulation includes a provision under which the head of an agency (or designee) may authorize a limited exemption to the display of U.S. Government license plates and motor vehicle identification upon written certification.  Motor vehicles used for common administrative purposes and not directly connected to investigative, law enforcement, or intelligence duties involving security activities are ineligible for this exemption.  A deviation was granted after the events of September 11, 2001, to remove the restriction as to motor vehicles used for administrative purposes.  GSA amended the FMR to reflect the practice currently permitted under the deviation as part of the interim rule.

6. The Federal Motor Vehicle Fleet Report. This 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.

7. Agencies must have an agency-wide fleet management information system that will link all fleet data throughout the agency and interface with the FAST.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) continually reviews and adjusts policies as a part of its ongoing mission to provide policy assistance to the Government agencies bound by the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR). As part of that ongoing mission, GSA created the Relocation Best Practices Committee (RBPC) to examine Government relocation policy. The RBPC consists of Government, as well as private sector, relocation experts. The RBPC researched and produced a complete package of relocation changes that included both statutory as well as regulatory elements. The proposed FTR changes are the result of RBPC recommendations, benchmarking against private industry, and GSA, representing Governmentwide policy needs. The proposed changes are intended to keep Government relocation practices in line with current relocation trends and allow for better management of the Government relocation programs, including costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) Case 2005-G501; Federal Agency Retail Pharmacy Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to amend the General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to add a new subpart and clause required by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), consistent with congressional intent under section 603 of the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992 (VHCA) and 38 U.S.C. 8126, that certain Federal agencies (i.e., VA, Department of Defense (DoD), Public Health Service (including the Indian Health Service), and the Coast Guard) have access to Federal pricing for pharmaceuticals purchased for their beneficiaries.

GSA is responsible for the schedules program and rules related to its operation.  Under GSA's delegation of authority, the VA procures medical supplies under the VA Federal Supply Schedule program.  VA and DoD seek this amendment. This new subpart adds a clause unique to the virtual depot system established by a Federal Agency Retail Pharmacy Program utilizing contracted retail pharmacies as part of a centralized pharmaceutical commodity management program.  At this time, only DoD has a program in place, and the rule would facilitate DoDs access to Federal pricing on Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) pharmaceutical contracts for covered drugs purchased by DoD and dispensed to TRICARE beneficiaries through retail pharmacies in the TRICARE network.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule contains the rules of procedure of the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (Board), which will govern all proceedings before the Board.  The Board was established within GSA by section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 to hear and decide contract disputes between Government contractors and Executive agencies (other than the Department of Defense, the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, the Department of the Air Force, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the United States Postal Service, the Postal Rate Commission, and the Tennessee Valley Authority) under the provisions of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 and regulations and rules issued thereunder.  Effective January 6, 2007, boards of contract appeals that existed at the General Services Administration and the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, Transportation, and Veterans Affairs were terminated, and their cases were transferred to the new Civilian Board of Contract Appeals.  The Board has jurisdiction as provided by section 8(d) of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, 41 U.S.C. 607(d).  In addition, the Board will conduct proceedings as required or permitted under other statutes or regulations.  The Board intends to issue final, revised rules after considering all comments on this interim rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) continually reviews and adjusts policies as a part of its ongoing mission to provide policy assistance to the Government agencies subject to the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR).  Accordingly, GSA created the Governmentwide Relocation Advisory Board (GRAB), consisting of Government and private industry relocation experts, to examine Government relocation policy.  To allow for the use of private industry expertise in the rulemaking and possible legislative actions, the GRAB was chartered as a Federal advisory committee pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act on July 9, 2004.  The GRAB submitted a final report of its findings on September 15, 2005.  If implemented, the 100 plus recommendations of the GRAB would keep Government relocation practices aligned with private sector best practices, as well as improve the overall management of Government relocation programs and reduce costs.  This proposed rule transforms many of the GRABs recommendations into FTR policy. The GRAB Findings and Recommendations and corresponding documents may be accessed at GSAs website at http://www.gsa.gov/grab.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Case 2007-303; Relocation Expenses Test Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Travel and Transportation Reform Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-264, October 19, 1998) authorized Federal agencies to conduct travel and relocation expenses test programs when determined by the Administrator of General Services to be in the interest of the Government.  The provisions of the Act were implemented by a Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) amendment, and published in the Federal Register.  They permit agencies to test new and innovative methods of reimbursing travel and relocation expenses without seeking a waiver of current rules or authorizing legislation.  However, the test authority for the travel and relocation programs expired in October 2005.

Public Law 109-325, October 11, 2006, amends 5 U.S.C. section 5739 by extending the authority for GSA to approve relocation expenses test programs for an additional 4 years.  In addition, the law removes the 24-month period in which an agency had to complete an approved relocation expense test program.  The amendments provided by Public Law No. 109-325 are effective as though enacted as part of the Travel and Transportation Reform Act of 1998.

This final rule implements Public Law 109-325 by removing the required period of time to complete a relocation test program and amends current regulations to reflect that the law has extended the authority to conduct relocation tests for an additional 4 years.  The authority to conduct a travel test expense program was not renewed; accordingly, this final rule also deletes those provisions.  The FTR and any corresponding documents may be accessed at GSAs website at http://www.gsa.gov/ftr.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NASA is amending 14 CFR part 1245 by removing subpart 4 "Foreign Patent Licensing Regulations."  The Department of Commerce issued Governmentwide regulations, which prescribe the terms, conditions, and procedures upon which a federally owned invention may be licensed both foreign and domestically.  These regulations are codified at 37 CFR part 404 "Licensing of Government-Owned Inventions." NASA began granting licenses in accordance with the Department of Commerce regulations on March 13, 1995.  On May 1, 1995 (60 FR 21042), NASA removed subpart 2 "Licensing of NASA Inventions," which covered domestic licensing. At that time, subpart 4 was inadvertently left in place.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Astronaut Health Care for Life Provision initiative responded to a critical need identified by NASA, with concurrence by the Institute of Medicine, to create a comprehensive health care system for astronauts and their families that enables the capture and study of all relevant data necessary to ameliorate the risks of space flight.  The Astronaut Care Provision effort focused on the best means to develop a responsible, complete, and comprehensive health insurance program for astronauts and their dependents.  If successfully designed and implemented, such a program would have enhanced understanding of how humans can travel safely and live longer in space and, as an additional benefit, how humans can live longer on earth.  In order to provide this comprehensive health care for the dependents of active astronauts, retired astronauts, and their dependents, NASA needed the appropriate authority stipulated in legislation.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <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>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Federal Records Act, the Archivist of the United States is responsible for: 1) Providing guidance and assistance to Federal agencies to ensure adequate and proper documentation of the policies and transactions of the Federal Government and ensuring proper records disposition (44 USC 2904); 2) approving the disposition of Federal records (44 USC 33); and 3) preserving and making available the Federal records of continuing value that have been transferred to the National Archives of the United States (44 USC 21).

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 is 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 USC 3101). Agency heads must also have an active, continuing records management program (44 USC 3102).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

These revisions include: Clarifying that records transferred to NARA from legislative branch agencies retain their legislative branch status and remain outside the scope of FOIA; noting that the custody of certain official military personnel files at NARA's National Personnel Records Center located in St. Louis, Missouri, has been transferred to NARA; and modifying section 1250.26(e) to reflect EO 13233, Further Implementation of the Presidential Records Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The financial institution regulators are required by section 2222 of the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 to categorize all of the agencies' regulations by type and then issue a notice and request for comment for each of the categories.  The notice must request comment on areas of the regulations that are outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome.  This must be done on a 10-year cycle. The first cycle ends in September 2006.  The notice for the first two categories was issued on July 3, 2003.  The notice for the second category was issued on February 4, 2004.  Notice for the third category was published on July 8, 2004.  Notice for the fourth and fifth categories was published on February 4, 2005.  Notice for the sixth and seventh categories was published on July 7, 2005.  Notice for the last three categories was published on December 22, 2005.  NCUA has prepared its own chapter for the final congressional report, which the FFIEC intends to submit to congress before September 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Debt Collection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule implements the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA).  The DCIA requires Federal agencies to collect debts owed to the United States under regulations prescribed by the head of the agency and standards prescribed by the Department of Justice and the Department of the Treasury. 31 U.S.C. 3711(d)(2).  These standards, known as the Federal Claims Collection Standards (FCCS), became effective on December 22, 2000. 31 CFR chapter IX and parts 900 through 904.  The DCIA also requires agencies, prior to collecting debts owed to the United States to:  Adopt without change regulations on collecting debts by offset promulgated by the Department of Justice or Department of the Treasury (FCCS) or prescribe agency regulations for collecting such debts by offset, which are consistent with the FCCs. 31 U.S.C. 3716.  Agency regulations protect the minimum due process rights that must be afforded to the debtor when an agency seeks to collect a debt by administrative offset, including the ability to verify, challenge, and compromise claims, and access to administrative appeals procedures which are both reasonable and protect the interests of the United States.  NCUA has decided to issue its own rule for debt collection and offset, in part, to account for NCUA's status as an independent regulatory agency.  The interim rule is, however, consistent with the FCCS, as required by the DCIA.  The salary offset portion of the proposed rule has been submitted to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), as required by 5 U.S.C. 5514(b)(1).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NCUA amended a number of its regulations by making minor technical corrections and clarifications:  To add a cross-reference between two regulations addressing credit union borrowing authority; add a statement in the provision on insurance coverage for volunteer officials to note, when an FCU cancels coverage, it must comply with any other applicable laws allowing an official to continue coverage at his or her own expense; and clarify that indemnification for dual employees is limited to activities on behalf of the FCU.  The amendments alert users to other relevant provisions, responsibilities, or limitations affecting current regulatory provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[It is necessary for the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) to promulgate regulations establishing game classification standards because of the distinction between class II and class III gaming set forth in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). Technical changes make it difficult for regulators to keep up with the gaming industry. By establishing classification standards and clarifying the definition of "electronic or electromechanical facsimile," tribal gaming commissions, the primary regulators of tribal gaming, will more easily be able to distinguish between class II and class III machines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) is considering a rulemaking to define "sole proprietary interest" as that term is used in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).  IGRA requires, with one limited exception, Indian tribes to have the sole proprietary interest and responsibility for the conduct of any gaming activity on the tribes Indian lands.  Neither IGRA nor the NIGC's current regulations define "sole proprietary interest."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commissions regulations that protect against brittle fracture of reactor vessels during severe cooldown events.  The existing regulations establish screening limits that were developed based on what NRC believed to be a conservative probabilistic fracture mechanics analysis.  Several licensees will exceed the screening limits in the current rule during their license renewal periods. The staff proposes to provide alternate fracture toughness requirements which reflect the updated technical basis in the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to require applicants for new standard design certifications and new combined licenses (COLs) that do not reference a standard design certification to perform an assessment of the effects of the impact of a large, commercial aircraft on the nuclear power plant.  Based on the insights gained from this assessment, the applicant shall include in its application a description and evaluation of design features, functional capabilities, and strategies to avoid or mitigate the effects of the aircraft impact.  The impact of a large, commercial aircraft is a beyond design-basis event, and the NRCs requirements applicable to the design, construction, testing, operation, and maintenance of design features, functional capabilities and strategies for design basis events would not be applied to design features, functional capabilities, or strategies selected by the applicant solely to meet the requirements of this rule.  The objective of this rule is to require nuclear power plant designers to perform a rigorous assessment of design features that could provide additional inherent protection to avoid or mitigate, to the extent practicable, the effects of an aircraft impact, with reduced reliance on operator actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to ensure compatibility with the Department of Health and Human Services  guidelines, eliminate or modify unnecessary requirements in some areas, clarify the Commission's original intent of the rule, and improve overall program effectiveness and efficiency, and establish threshold for the control of working hours at nuclear power plants to ensure that working hours in excess of the thresholds are controlled through a risk-informed deviation process.  The proposed rule was published in August 2005 and includes provisions to provide significantly greater assurance that worker fatigue does not adversely affect the operational safety of nuclear power plants.  This proposed rule subsumes the proposed rule "Nuclear Power Plant Worker Fatigue" (RIN 3150-AG99).  This rulemaking would address the petitions for rulemaking submitted by the Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) (PRM-26-1) and Barry Quigley (PRM-26-2) related to worker fatigue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Power Reactor Security Requirements </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commissions current security regulations and add new security requirements pertaining to nuclear power reactors.  Additionally, this rulemaking includes new security requirements for Category I strategic special nuclear material (SSNM) facilities for access to enhanced weapons and firearms background checks.  The proposed rulemaking would: make generically applicable security requirements imposed by Commission orders issued after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, based upon experience and insights gained by the Commission during implementation; fulfill certain provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005; add several new requirements that resulted from insights from implementation of the security orders, review of site security plans, and implementation of the enhanced baseline inspection program and force-on-force exercises; update the regulatory framework in preparation for receiving license applications for new reactors; and impose requirements to assess and manage site activities that can adversely affect safety and security.  The proposed safety and security requirements would address, in part, a petition for rulemaking (PRM 50-80) that requests the establishment of regulations governing proposed changes to facilities which could adversely affect the protection against radiological sabotage.  The proposed rulemaking would also address a petition for rulemaking (PRM 73-11) regarding the posting of armed guards at the entrances of the owner-controlled area of nuclear power plants.]]></ABSTRACT>

In addition, the staff is considering using this opportunity to propose a change to section 20.1003 "Definitions" to clarify the definition of total effective dose equivalent.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Safeguards Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commissions regulations for the protection of Safeguards Information (SGI) to reflect recent Commission practices reflected in Orders and Threat Advisories, and Confirmatory Action Letters  issued since September 11, 2001.  The amendments also provide the flexibility afforded the Commission for the protection of such information by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA).  The proposed amendments  would affect certain licensees, information, and  materials not currently specified in the regulations but that are within the scope of the AEA.  The proposed amendments are intended to protect SGI from inadvertent release and unauthorized disclosure which might compromise the security of nuclear facilities and materials.  The Commission directed that this rule be republished as a proposed rule to allow comments on proposed changes to rule text in response to public and Commission comment, as well as to reflect amendments to the AEA in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and orders issued to licensees authorized to possess and transfer items containing certain quantities of radioactive material.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Advance Notification to Native American Tribes of Transportation of Certain Types of Nuclear Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) invited 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 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 also not compatible with NRC regulations.  A rulemaking plan was approved by the Commission on February 20, 2001.  This rulemaking was put on hold by the Commission pending review of NRC rules in response to events of September 11, 2001.  The timing is being coordinated with the progress on other related rulemakings.]]></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 under section 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 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>

        <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.  The Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research conducted research in 2004 and 2005 and plans to issue a research information letter summarizing the results of prior work; e.g., concrete used in engineered backfills and radionuclide isolation in concrete.  The staff is continuing to defer this rulemaking activity.]]></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 section 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 submitted by the State of Colorado and Organization of Agreement States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The staff provided a draft proposed rule package on Controlling the Disposition of Solid Materials to the Commission on March 31, 2005.  The Commission has disapproved publication of the draft proposed rule package.  The Commission's decision is based on the fact that the Agency is currently faced with several high priority and complex tasks, that the current approach to review specific cases on an individual basis is fully protective of public health and safety, and that the immediate need for this rule has changed due to the shift in timing for reactor decommissioning.  As such, the Commission is deferring this rulemaking for the time being.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance-Based ECCS Acceptance Criteria

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend section 50.46 to develop performance-based acceptance criteria for fuel cladding performance during loss-of-coolant accidents.  Existing provisions of section 50.46 applicable to certain zirconium-based cladding materials would be supplemented by performance-based standards for maximum peak cladding temperature and oxidation limit.  The supplementary performance standard would allow licensees to use alternative cladding materials, without seeking an exemption, provided that testing demonstrated that adequate ductility would be maintained, and ECCS analyses showed that the new performance criteria would be satisfied.  This rulemaking also would address a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute (PRM-50-71).  The NRC is performing research activities to develop a technical basis for initiating rulemaking on this item and is expected to be developed in late CY 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations 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 (LB-LOCA) in General Design Criterion (GDC) 35.  The proposed rule would provide a voluntary alternative to existing requirements in situations where specified acceptance criteria are satisfied and also would address a petition for rulemaking submitted by Bob Christie (Performance Technology) (PRM-50-77). On December 2, 2005, the NRC requested additional information from the BWR Owners Group (BWROG) in order to continue its review.  The BWROG responded by submitting a revised topical report on August 25, 2006.  The staff review is ongoing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the Commissions requirements for early site permits, standard design certifications, combined licenses 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 has reorganized 10 CFR part 52 to establish a separate section for each of the licensing processes currently described in 10 CFR part 52 (early site permits, standard design certifications, standard design approvals, combined licenses, and  manufacturing licenses).  The purpose of this reorganization is to clarify that each licensing process has equal standing.

The NRC has retitled 10 CFR part 52 as "Licenses, Certifications and Approvals 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. 

This rulemaking subsumed the rulemaking "Standardized Plant Designs, Early Review of Sites Suitability Issues; Clarifying Amendments" (RIN 3150-AE25) that would remove redundant appendices from part 50.  The part 52 rulemaking plan (SECY-98-282) was approved by the Commission on January 14, 1999.  As a result of the comments received and a number of other factors, the Commission decided that a substantial rewrite and expansion of the original rulemaking would be necessary to ensure that the entire body of NRC regulations is able to support the Agencys licensing and regulation of future nuclear power facilities under part 52.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the Commissions regulations in parts 30, 31, 32, and 150.  The results of the reevaluation of exemptions are being used to improve effectiveness and efficiency and better ensure safety.  The final rule eliminates obsolete provisions and associated distributor requirements currently in the regulations.  Improvements to distributor reporting requirements are also included.  A minor change to a general license is also included.  This rulemaking has subsumed RM# 526 "Use of Exempt Sources in Devices."]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendments require the electronic transmission of electronic documents in filing and service. Although exceptions to these requirements are established to allow paper filings, the NRC maintains a strong preference for fully electronic filing and service. The rule builds upon prior NRC rules and developments in the Federal courts regarding the use of electronic submissions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery for FY 2007</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the Commissions 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 90 percent of the NRCs budget authority for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007, less the amounts appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund, and for Waste Incidental to Reprocessing and generic homeland security activities as required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90), as amended.

To address fairness and equity concerns related to charging NRC license holders for agency budgeted costs that do not provide a direct benefit to the licensee, the FY 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act amended OBRA-90 to decrease the NRCs fee recovery amount by 2 percent per year beginning in FY 2001, until the fee recovery amount was 90 percent in FY 2005.  The FY 2006 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, as amended by the Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic Influenza Act 2006, extended this 90 percent fee recovery requirement through FY 2006.  Section 637 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 made the 90 percent fee recovery requirement permanent beginning in FY 2007.  The dollar amount to be recovered for FY 2007 is approximately $670.5 million. OBRA-90, as amended, requires that the fees for FY 2007 be collected by September 30, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will amend the Commissions regulations allowing certain construction activities on nuclear power plants to commence before a construction permit or combined license is issued.  This final rule modifies the scope of activities that are considered construction for which a construction permit, combined license or LWA is necessary, specifies the scope of construction activities that may be performed under a LWA, and changes the review and approval process for LWA requests.  The NRC is adopting these changes to enhance the efficiency of its licensing and approval process for new nuclear reactors.  This rulemaking was originally published on October 17, 2006 (71 FR 61329), as a supplementary proposed rule to the rulemaking "Limited Work Authorizations for Nuclear Power Plants (RIN AI05)."  It is now treated as a separate final rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

Amendment No. 5 modifies the CoC by revising technical specifications to incorporate changes to the reporting and monitoring requirements to allow for visual inspection of the air inlet and outlet vents in lieu of thermal monitoring.  The amendment also incorporates guidance from NRC Interim Staff Guidance (ISG)-22 and replace all references to backfilling with inert gas.  In addition, the amendment revises the CoC description to remove the requirement for tamper-indicating devices on the Vertical Concrete Casks and make several editorial changes to improve the clarity of the documents associated with the MPC system.]]></ABSTRACT>

These amendments would strengthen the risk sensitivity of the Enterprises risk-based capital requirement by correcting the loss severity equations that currently understate losses on certain defaulted single-family conventional and Government guaranteed loans.  It would also amend treatment of FHA insurance in the econometric model in order to conform the treatment to current law.]]></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[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) in new chapters at the end of 5 CFR, 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. These supplementals are issued and revised on an ongoing basis when needed by agencies concerned.]]></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>

This regulation is not an executive branchwide one, but rather deals with OGE's own agency procedures and fees.  Only the FOIA portion of OGE's regulation has been updated to reflect certain designations pursuant to the E.O. 13392 on FOIA improvement and some other telephone and contact updates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management proposes to amend parts 410 and 412 to implement training and development requirements contained in the Workforce Flexibilities Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-411).  The proposed amendment establishes an annual requirement for agencies to evaluate training programs and plans, and modify these programs and plans to accomplish agency performance plans and strategic goals; outlines an employee development continuum for supervisors, managers, and executives; provides a framework for agencies to develop a comprehensive management succession training program; and specifies specific training that agencies will provide to managers. This proposed amendment also removes language that is redundant or contradictory to the statutory change.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management seeks public comment on a proposed rule that would set forth procedures that requesters would have to follow when making demands or requests to an OPM employee to produce official records and information, and provide testimony relating to official information, in connection with a legal proceeding in which OPM is not a party. As proposed, this rule would establish  procedures to respond to such demands and requests in an orderly and consistent manner. The proposed rule, among other benefits, will promote uniformity in decisions, protect confidential information, provide guidance to requesters, and reduce the potential for both inappropriate disclosures of official information and wasteful allocation of agency resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulatory proposal includes four categories of proposed amendments.  Most of the proposed amendments reflect interpretations of the Hatch Act found in advisory opinions of the United States Office of Special Counsel, as well as in decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Merit Systems Protection Board, and the former United States Civil Service Commission, since the last time the regulations were amended.

The first category includes amendments that would elaborate upon and modify selected existing definitions for clarity. The second category includes amendments that would add more examples of prohibited and permitted activity.  The third category includes proposed editorial changes that would tighten the organization of part 734 and remove redundancies.  Finally, the fourth category would update the regulatory list of sensitive agencies and positions in 5 CFR 734.401 to substitute the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency for the Central Imagery Office, and to add Administrative Appeals Judge positions described in 5 U.S.C. section 5372b.  These proposed amendments reflect Congressional amendment of the statutory list of sensitive agencies and positions in 5 U.S.C. section 7323(b).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Executive Boards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OPM plans to propose authorizing legislation to strengthen the Federal Executive Board (FEB) program.  Established by Presidential Directive in 1961, FEBs have developed over time as critical entities for communication, collaboration and coordination of federal agencies in the field.  Serving the 88 percent of the federal workforce that works outside Washington, DC, FEBs provide leadership in emergency preparedness, human capital readiness, and outreach to state, local, territorial and tribal communities.  Recent Homeland Security Council planning and GAO analysis demonstrates that FEBs are a critical resource for effective coordination of emergency preparedness activities in the field.  Yet FEB staff and operational funds are provided by voluntary contributions of local agencies, which increasingly face constrained budgets and competing priorities.  FEBs are at constant risk of closure and/or unsustainable staff cuts, at the very time they are increasingly called upon to prepare Federal workers to respond to local emergencies so as to assure continuity of operations.  Accordingly, the FEBs, through OPM, need Working Capital Authority to fund the services FEBs offer to Federal agencies in their designated service areas.  Authorizing legislation will enable OPM to assure adequate funding for FEB staff and operations in order to deliver effective human capital readiness and preparedness efforts in the field.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management is issuing final regulations to implement a provision of the Federal Workforce Flexibility Act of 2004 that amends the rules governing pay setting for employees covered by the General Schedule. In particular, we are revising provisions related to special rates, locality rates, and retained rates. The statutory and regulatory changes are designed to correct a variety of pay administration anomalies that resulted in unfair pay reductions or unwarranted pay increases, to allow locality rates and special rates to be treated in similar ways, and to improve the operation of the special rates program.]]></ABSTRACT>

The final regulations would provide the Department of the Treasury with the flexibility, in coordination with OPM, to establish broader pay bands for covered IRS employees. The proposed regulations also would establish a more direct relationship between pay and performance.  Finally, the final regulations would revise the criteria consistent with the changes in the General Schedule pay administration rules made by the Federal Workforce Flexibility Act of 2004 and OPM implementing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed rules to authorize alternative provisions for processing retirement and health and life insurance applications, notices, elections, and records under the Agencys Retirement Systems Modernization (RSM) project.  The RSM project is OPMs strategic e-Gov initiative to improve the quality and timeliness of services to employees and annuitants covered by the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), as well as the Federal Employees Group Life Insurance (FEGLI), the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) and Retired Federal Employees Health Benefits (RFEHB) Programs, by modernizing business processes and the technology that supports them.  Certain regulatory provisions governing the processing of benefits under CSRS, FERS, FEGLI, FEHB and RFEHB are incompatible with the effort to modernize retirement and insurance applications and claims processing.  Therefore, exceptions from these provisions need to be authorized.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Employees Health Benefits Acquisition Regulation: Board of Contract Appeals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Contract Disputes Act (41 U.S.C. section 601-613)(CDA) allows Federal government contractors, including carriers participating in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program, to appeal official decisions made by a contracting officer to an agency board of contract appeals.  Prior to the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2006 (NDAA), the CDA authorized each agency to create their own board or, in the alternative, to designate another agencys board for this purpose.  Previously, the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) served as the agency board of contract appeals for appeals between FEHB carriers and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). 
 
The NDAA of 2006, in addition to eliminating agency board designation authority, dismantled most existing agency boards, creating as a replacement the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA) with authority extending to most civilian agencies, including OPM.  Accordingly, the CBCA has now replaced the ASBCA as the venue for claims brought under the Act for the FEHB Program.  OPM is updating the FEHBAR to reflect this change in the law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed regulations to amend the criteria under which OPM may grant dual compensation (salary offset) waivers on a case-by-case basis, or delegate waiver authority to agencies.  This amendment clarifies that OPM may grant or delegate to agencies the authority to grant such waivers in situations resulting from emergencies posing an immediate and direct threat to life or property or situations resulting from unusual circumstances that do not involve an emergency.  The proposed changes will make it easier for agencies to reemploy needed individuals when faced with unusual circumstances.   In addition, we are proposing to amend the section headings to avoid redundancy.  This amendment is also removing information concerning military employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under 5 U.S.C. 8905(b), OPM may waive the eligibility requirements for health benefits coverage as an annuitant for an individual when, in its sole discretion, it determines that it would be against equity and good conscience not to allow a person to be enrolled in the FEHB Program as an annuitant.  Under 5 CFR 890.108, an individuals failure to satisfy eligibility requirements must be due to exceptional circumstances. 5 CFR 890.108 also lists specific situations where a waiver will not be granted by OPM such as when an individuals retirement is based on a disability or an involuntary separation, or when an individual was misadvised by his/her employing office.  This final regulation eliminates these specific situations from 5 CFR 890.108 to provide more flexibility to the waiver process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[When PBGC assumes trusteeship of a terminated pension plan, it pays benefits to participants pursuant to plan provisions and title IV of ERISA. This proposed rule will implement provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 that make changes in how PBGC pays benefits, particularly with regard to the determination of guarantee limits.  PBGC is also exploring ways to improve its benefit payments rules, by filling in gaps in the rules, clarifying matters that have been handled on a case-by-case basis in the past, and otherwise addressing issues relating to the determination of guarantee limits and the time, form, and manner of payment.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed amendments also include minor clarifying and technical changes to the rules for administrative review of agency decisions.]]></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 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>

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 overpayments 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>

The Commission also proposed related amendments to Rule 10b-10. Proposed Rules 15c2-2 and 15c2-3 and Schedules 15C and 15D would provide for improved confirmation and pre-transaction "point of sale" disclosure of distribution costs and conflicts of interest associated with transactions in mutual funds, municipal fund securities, and unit investment trusts.  The amendments to Rule 10b-10 in part would reflect the new rules and would provide improved confirmation disclosure about certain callable securities.  They also would clarify that the confirmation disclosure requirements do not determine broker-dealer disclosure obligations under other provisions of the law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interagency Proposal for Model Privacy Form Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission, together with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Trade Commission, National Credit Union Administration, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Office of Thrift Supervision (the Agencies), requested comment on whether the Agencies should consider amending the regulations that implement the privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act to allow or require financial institutions to provide alternative types of privacy notices that would be easier for consumers to understand.

Pursuant to section 728 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act, Public Law 109-351, the Agencies proposed a model form that may be used at the option of financial institutions for the purpose of disclosure under title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

The staff anticipates recommending that the Commission, in coordination with the other Agencies, adopt a safe harbor model privacy form that financial institutions may use to provide disclosures under the privacy rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed new Rule 15c2-2 under the Exchange Act, together with accompanying Schedule 15C. The Commission also proposed related amendments to Rule 10b-10. Proposed Rule 15c2-2 and Schedule 15C would provide for improved confirmation disclosure of distribution costs and conflicts of interest associated with transactions in mutual funds, municipal fund securities, and unit investment trusts. The amendments to Rule 10b-10 in part would reflect the new rule and would provide improved confirmation disclosure about certain callable securities. They also would clarify that the confirmation disclosure requirements do not determine broker-dealer disclosure obligations under other provisions of the law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule 15c-100:  Schedule 15C</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed new Rules 15c2-2 and 15c2-3 under the Exchange Act, together with accompanying Schedules 15C and 15D.  The Commission also proposed related amendments to Rule 10b-10. Proposed Rules 15c2-2 and 15c2-3 and Schedules 15C and 15D would provide for improved confirmation and pre-transaction "point of sale" disclosure of distribution costs and conflicts of interest associated with transactions in mutual funds, municipal fund securities, and unit investment trusts.  The amendments to Rule 10b-10 in part would reflect the new rules and would provide improved confirmation disclosure about certain callable securities.  They also would clarify that the confirmation disclosure requirements do not determine broker-dealer disclosure obligations under other provisions of the law.]]></ABSTRACT>

One rule, Rule 2a-46,  defines an eligible portfolio company to include all private companies and companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange.  The Commission also reproposed for comment Rule 2a-46(b) under the Investment Company Act to expand the definition of eligible portfolio company to include certain companies that list their securities on a national securities exchange.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fair Administration and Governance of Self-Regulatory Organizations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed new rules and amendments to existing rules and forms under the Exchange Act.  The proposals pertain to the oversight and operation of self-regulatory organizations (SROs) that are national securities exchanges or national securities associations.  The new rules are designed to strengthen the governance and administration of national securities exchanges and national securities associations.  In addition, the proposal includes amendments to SEC forms for registration as a national securities exchange or national securities association to require that those SROs include specified information relating to their governance, regulatory programs, financial statements, and ownership structure.  

Further, the Commission proposed a new rule to require exchanges and associations to submit quarterly and annual electronic reports on particular aspects of their regulatory programs.  Finally, the proposal would impose certain checks on the heightened potential conflicts that arise with demutualized SROs relating to the "self-listing" of the SRO's or affiliate's stock, but not otherwise seek to regulate controlling shareholders of an SRO.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed amendments to Rules 200(e)(3) and 203(b)(3) of Regulation SHO.  The proposed amendments were intended to reduce the frequency that stock is not delivered after it is sold, by eliminating a grandfather provision and narrowing the options market maker exception to the close-out requirements of Regulation SHO.  The proposed amendments were also intended to update the market decline limitation referenced in Rule 200(e)(3).  

After considering the comments received in response to the proposed amendments, the Commission adopted amendments eliminating the grandfather provision of Rule 203(b)(3) and updating the market decline limitation referenced in Rule 200(e)(3)substantially in the form proposed.  The Commission re-proposed amendments to Rule 203(b)(3) to eliminate the market maker exception to the close-out requirements.   The Commission also proposed amendments to Rule 200(g) to require that brokers and dealers marking orders as long sales document the present location of the securities being sold.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed amendments to conform provisions of its net capital rule to changes to the net capital rule of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).  The proposed amendments would apply to broker-dealers also registered as futures commission merchants with the CFTC. 

The SEC also proposed to amend certain rules related to subordinated debt agreements to conform those rules to the CFTC's amended net capital rules.  Finally, the SEC proposed to amend its early warning provisions to require that it be notified if a broker-dealer also registered as a future commission merchant must warn the CFTC or a designated self-regulatory organization that its adjusted net capital has fallen below specified levels]]></ABSTRACT>

In addition, the Commission proposed to require SROs to post all such proposed rule changes on their Web sites.  Together, the proposed amendments are designed to expand the electronic filing by SROs of proposed rule changes, making it more efficient and cost effective, and to harmonize the process of filings made under section 19(b)(7(A) with that already in place for SRO filings under section 19(b)(1) of the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Smaller Reporting Company Regulatory Relief and Simplification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed amendments to the optional disclosure and reporting requirements for "small business issuers" under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.  The proposals would allow companies with a public float less than $75 million to qualify for smaller reporting company requirements, instead of the $25 million threshold currently in use.  The proposals would also combine the "small business issuer" and "non-accelerated filer" categories of smaller companies into a single "smaller reporting company" category.  Finally, the proposals would integrate the smaller company disclosure requirements of Regulation S-B into amended Regulation S-K.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A Federal appeals court vacated certain amendments adopted by the Commission to rules under the Investment Company Act.  The amendments, first proposed on January 15, 2004, would have imposed two conditions on investment companies ("funds") relying on certain exemptive rules.  First, fund boards would have had to be comprised of at least 75 percent independent directors.  Second, the boards would have to have been chaired by an independent director.

In June 2006, the Commission requested additional comment regarding the fund governance provisions.  In December 2006, the Commission reopened the comment period on its June 2006 request for comment in order to permit public comment on two papers prepared by the Office of Economic Analysis.  The comment period for the December release closed on March 2, 2007.  The Commission staff is reviewing the comments and determining what action to recommend to the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

The standards include a rule requiring an attorney to report evidence of a material violation of a securities law 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.  

At the same time the Commission published the release adopting the section 307 rules, it also sought comment on additional proposals, including one under which attorneys would be required under certain circumstances to withdraw from representing an issuer and disclose that fact to the Commission.  The Commission is withdrawing these additional proposals from the Unified Agenda because it does not expect to consider them within the next 12 months, but it may consider them at a future date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) filed a proposed rule change with the Commission to amend its quantitative listing standards for National Capital Market (NCM) securities.  The Commission believes that NASDAQ's proposed NCM listing standards would be substantially similar to those of a Named Market as designated in section 18 of the Securities Act.

The Commission proposed an amendment to Rule 146(b) under that Act to designate securities traded on the NCM as covered securities for purposes of section 18 of the Act and also proposed technical amendments to Rule 146(b) to account for the name changes of the Pacific Exchange to NYSE Arca, Inc., and the National Market System of the NASDAQ to NASDAQ Global Market.  The Commission approved the rule change on April 24, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Lending Company and Lender Oversight Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement the Small Business Administration's (SBA) statutory authority under the Small Business Reauthorization and Manufacturing Assistance Act of 2004 (Reauthorization Act) to regulate Small Business  Lending Companies (SBLCs) and non-federally regulated lenders (NFRLs).  It also would conform SBA rules to various changes in the section 7(a) Business Loan Program and the Certified Development Company (CDC) Program enacted by the Reauthorization Act.  

In particular, this rule would: (1) Define SBLCs and NFRLs; (2) clarify SBA's authority to regulate SBLCs and NFRLs; (3) authorize SBA to set minimum capital standards for SBLCs, to issue cease and desist orders, and revoke or suspend lending authority of SBLCs and NFRLs; (4) establish the Bureau of Premier Certified Lender Program Oversight in the Office of Credit Risk management; (5) transfer existing SBA enforcement authority over CDCs from the Office of Financial Assistance to the Office of Credit Risk Management; and (6) define SBA's enforcement authorities relative to all SBA lenders participating in the 7(a) and CDC programs and intermediaries in the Microloan program.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act states that SBA may provide financing to small businesses "directly or in cooperation with banks or other financial institutions." Presently, SBA guarantees loans through approximately 5,000 lenders. Of these lenders, about 14 are SBLCs that are not otherwise regulated by Federal or State chartering/licensing agencies. SBA examines these SBLCs periodically. Congressional and Administration policy to delegate lending responsibilities to SBLCs and other SBA lenders requires that SBA increase its lender oversight. To that end, SBA will draft regulations that strengthen the Agency's management of its business loan and lender oversight programs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Assistance Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will establish regulations to implement procedures to increase procurement opportunities for Women-Owned Small Business Concerns in Federal procurement as authorized under section 8(m) of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. section 637(m).  On June 15, 2006, the SBA published in the Federal Register, 71 FR 34550, a proposed rule with request for comments to amend its regulations in accordance with section 8(m) of the Small Business Act.  Based on SBAs evaluation of the public comments, discussions with the Department of Justice and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, and further examination of section 8(m), it has been determined that the June 15, 2006, proposed rule requires significant changes that warrant further public comment and consideration.  In addition, rather than propose a separate rulemaking, SBA believes it would be expeditious to include in this rule implementation of the SBA-commissioned RAND study results, which identified the industries in which WOSBs are underrepresented and substantially underrepresented in Federal procurement.  If SBA proposed an additional rule to implement the RAND Study results instead of combining the two rules into one comprehensive rule, any potential set-asides under the procedures could not be made until the RAND report rule had been finalized.  Therefore, SBAs action of combining the RAND report rule with this re-proposed June 15, 2006, rule, not only obviates the need for a separate rulemaking, but significantly will not delay the implementation of the WOSB procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

SBA is proposing to add provisions to define the term "manufacturing-related research and development" and to describe its four main areas: Unit process level technologies, machine-level technologies, system-level technologies, and environment or societal technologies.  In accordance with the E.O. 13329, SBA is also proposing to impose new requirements on Federal agencies participating in the STTR Program.  Pursuant to these proposed amendments, Federal agencies would be required to: (1) Include specific statements relating to E.O. 13329 in program solicitations; (2) develop an Action Plan for implementing E.O. 13329, including adding information to the agency's website; and (3) report to SBA on the agency's efforts to implement E.O. 13329.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would clarify the circumstances under which a small business investment company must obtain a conflict of interest exemption for a co-investment with an affiliate.  In the current regulations, investment by an SBIC in a company in which the affiliate has a pre-existing 10 percent or greater ownership interest is addressed in two overlapping provisions, one requiring a conflict of interest exemption and the other requiring SBAs prior written approval (a lower level of regulatory approval than a conflict of interest exemption).  The proposed rule would eliminate the overlap and clarify the specific types of transactions that fall under each provision.]]></ABSTRACT>

They consist of realigning all sections in a more cohesive and  coherent order.  The SBA's Inspector General has been added as an official who may request a size determination in conjunction with an investigation involving small business status. Finally, a provision is added that requires for contract officers to update the small business status of an awardee in the Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation, upon the receipt of a size determination or size appeal decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA is proposing to standardize protest and appeal regulations across all small business programs and clarify the effect of a negative determination on the procurement in question.  SBAs proposed rule will clarify that an award should not be made to an ineligible concern, and in cases where an award has been made prior to an SBA final decision finding a business to be ineligible, the contracting agency shall either terminate the contract, not exercise an option, or not award further task or delivery orders to the ineligible concern. SBA is also proposing to clarify how contracting officers select NAICS codes for multiple award task and delivery order contracts.  The changes recommended were prompted by recent bid protest litigation, a survey of cases handled by SBA's Government Contracting Area Offices and recent rulings by the Office of Hearings and Appeals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to replace the receipts based size standard for two fuel dealers industries with an employee-based size standard.   The industries are Heating Oil Dealers, and (NAICS 454311), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Bottled Gas) Dealers (454312).  Petroleum prices have fluctuated greatly over the past several years and continued volatility is expected in the future. Because of the uncertain price fluctuations of petroleum, adopting an employee size standard will create a more stable size standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA proposed amendments to the Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) Program Policy Directive. Those amendments reflected the requirements that Executive Order 13329 "Encouraging Innovation in Manufacturing" imposed on SBA and Federal agencies participating in the SBIR Program (70 FR 28975). In accordance with the Executive order, SBA will issue guidelines on implementing the Executive order, including requiring participating agencies to: (1) Give high priority to SBIR projects that are focused on manufacturing-related R&D in a manner consistent with their missions and the purpose of the SBIR program; (2) develop an action plan for implementing the order; and (3) report to SBA annually on these implementation plans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Premier Certified Lenders Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends SBA's Premier Certified Lenders Program (PCLP) in accordance with statutory amendments to the PCLP.  Certified Development Companies (CDCs) participating in the PCLP receive increased authority in connection with making and servicing loans made under SBA's Development Company Loan Program ("504 loans").  One PCLP requirement relates to a loan loss reserve fund ("LLRF"), which a CDC participating in the PCLP ("PCLP CDC") must maintain to cover losses it may incur in connection with 504 loans made under the PCLP ("PCLP loans").  Statutory changes to the PCLP have amended PCLP LLRF requirements, most significantly by establishing an alternative set of PCLP LLRF requirements ("Alternative LLRF Requirements") and authorizing certain qualified PCLP CDCs to elect to meet the Alternative LLRF Requirements in lieu of the existing LLRF requirements that would otherwise be applicable.  These statutory amendments have been introduced as "pilot" programs, which are initially scheduled to last approximately 2 years.  (All PCLP CDCs will still be required to meet existing LLRF requirements unless it is qualified to elect to meet the Alternative LLRF Requirements and properly makes that election and satisfies the alternative requirements.)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the HUBZone Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements statutory amendments of the Small Business Reauthorization and Manufacturing Assistance Act of 2004, subtitle E, HUBZone Program (Reauthorization Act), and makes SBA regulations consistent with the changes in law.  

The purpose of the HUBZone program is to provide Federal contracting assistance for qualified small business concerns (SBCs) located in historically underutilized business zones, or HUBZones, in an effort to promote economic development and employment opportunities in those areas. To receive SBA certification as a qualified HUBZone SBC under current SBA regulations, an SBC must show: (1) It is exclusively owned and controlled by persons who are U.S. citizens; (2) it has a principal office in a HUBZone; (3) at least 35 percent of its employees reside in a HUBZone; and (4) the SBC must certify that it will attempt to maintain that percentage during performance of the HUBZone contract and that it will comply with certain performance requirements of the HUBZone contract. SBA designates areas as HUBZones using data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Labor in accordance with law.

Among other things, the Reauthorization Act amended eligibility requirements for SBC certification under the Small Business Act and made changes relating to HUBZone designations. These amendments became law on December 8, 2004, and took effect immediately upon enactment. Accordingly, this rule revises 13 CFR part 126 to conform SBA regulations to various amendments under the Reauthorization Act. This rule: (1) Authorizes HUBZone firms to be at least 51 percent owned and controlled by U.S. citizens; (2) amends the definition of the term "HUBZone small business concern" to include small agricultural cooperatives organized and incorporated in the U.S.; (3) designates base closure areas that have undergone final closure as qualified HUBZones for a period of 5 years; (4) amends the definition of a "qualified non-metropolitan county" to allow for a comparison of the county's unemployment rate to either the Statewide average or the national average, whichever is less; and (5) extends the redesignation period for HUBZone areas through the release of the 2010 census data. This rule amends the HUBZone price preference for agricultural commodities purchased for export operations through international food aid programs by providing a 5 percent evaluation preference on 20 percent of the contract.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Size Standards; Inflation Adjustment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA is adjusting its monetary-based size standards (e.g., receipts, net income, net worth, and financial assets), for the effect of inflation that has occurred since the last inflation adjustment in February 2002.  Since the last inflation adjustment, the general level of prices has increased 8.7 percent.  This action restores small business eligibility to businesses that have lost that status due to inflation. In addition, this rule changes the process for determining the size of small business concerns applying for SBA Business Loans and Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) from a test considering only the primary industry of the applicant to a two-part test to consider also the primary industry of the applicant with affiliates.  This rule also changes the date on which SBA determines size status for purpose of EIDL applications for businesses located in disaster areas declared as a result of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this final rule is to amend the definition of "employee" under 13 CFR 126.103. The definition of "employee" in part 126 is relevant to SBA's determination of whether a concern is eligible for certification as a HUBZone small business concern. On May 13, 2004, SBA issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking requesting comments on, among other things, specific issues related to the definition of "employee," including the status of part-time, leased, and temporary employees, and the use of the term "full-time equivalent" in the definition of "employee."  After careful consideration of the comments received, SBA has decided to amend the definition of "employee" to reflect current business operations, market conditions, and personnel practices within the small business community.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) requesting comments regarding the HUBZone Program and agricultural commodities purchased by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).  According to the Small Business Act, in the case of a contract for the procurement by the USDA of agricultural commodities, a qualified HUBZone small business concern may not purchase the commodity from a subcontractor if the subcontractor will supply the commodity in substantially the final form in which it is to be supplied to the Government.  SBA sought comments on how to define "substantially the final form" with respect to this statutory requirement.  Additionally, SBA sought comments on the implementation of a statutory provision regarding HUBZone set-asides and the definition of "employee."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA amends the existing regulations to accomplish the following five objectives.  First, SBA would increase its share of loss to 90 percent on bonds issued by Prior Approval Sureties for the benefit of small businesses owned and operated by veterans and service-disabled veterans.  Second, SBA would impose a 45-day deadline for the payment of fees owed by Prior Approval Sureties in lieu of the existing regulatory language that requires payment "... in the ordinary course of business."   Third, SBA would no longer require prospective Preferred Surety Bond (PSB) Sureties to use premiums promulgated by the Surety Association of America in August 1987; they may charge premiums authorized by applicable State law.  This permission will be extended to current PSB Sureties.  Fourth, regulatory references to the expiration of the PSB program will be deleted.  The program was made permanent by Public Law 108-447.  Finally, affiliates of PSB Sureties will be allowed to participate in the Prior Approval Surety Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this action is to implement the fee authority that Congress granted SBA in section 131 of Division K of Public Law 108-447.  SBA is authorized to require lenders that make loans under section 7 of the Small Business Act to pay fees to cover the Agency's cost of lender examinations and reviews and other lender oversight activities.  Under the proposed rules, SBA would have the authority to assess fees to cover the costs of the following lender oversight activities: (1) On-site safety and soundness examinations of Small Business Lending Companies and non-federally regulated lenders (together "SBA Supervised Lenders"); (2) on-site reviews of other 7(a) lenders (which SBA intends at this time for such lenders with $10 million or more in outstanding SBA guarantees); (3) off-site quarterly reviews of all lenders; and (4) other lender oversight activities.

SBA contracts with other financial services entities to assist in conducting the reviews and examinations.  SBA's proposed assessment methodology will primarily cover the direct costs charged by these contractors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) would have revised its small business size regulations regarding ownership and control of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program awardees.  Currently, to be eligible for an SBIR award, an awardee must meet the following ownership and control criteria:  (a) Be a for-profit concern that is at least 51 percent of the United States, or permanent resident aliens in the United States, or (b) be a concern that is at least 51 percent owned and controlled by another business concern that is itself at least 51 percent owned and controlled by individuals who are citizens of or permanent resident aliens in the United States, or (c) be a joint venture in which each entity to the venture must meet the requirements set forth in (a) or (b) above.  In addition, an SBIR awardee, together with its affiliates, can not have more than 500 employees.  The proposed rule sets forth changes to the ownership and control provisions of 13 CFR 121.702 to allow for expanded VCOC (Venture Capital Operating Company) ownership (as VCOC is defined by the Department of Labor).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 7.00 and 107.00 (hematological disorders) of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of our regulations (404.1501 through 404.1599) describe hematological disorders that are considered severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, or for a child claiming SSI payments under title XVI, which causes marked and severe functional limitation. 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. The Supplemental Security Income program incorporates and uses the same medical criteria as the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Parent-to-Child Deeming From Stepparents (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 would not be 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exclusion of Military Pay for Combat Service From Deemed Income and Resources (978P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed rules would 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 9 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 U.S.C. 310; and
2.  Family separation allowance received by the ineligible spouse or ineligible parent from one of the uniformed services pursuant to 37 U.S.C. 427 as a result of deployment to or while serving in a combat zone.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 2.00 and 102.00, Special Senses and Speech, of appendix 1 subpart P of part 404 of our regulations (404.1501 through 404.1599) describe hearing loss that is considered severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, or for a child claiming Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments under title XVI, that cause marked and severe functional limitations.  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 SSI program incorporates by reference and uses the same medical criteria as the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Additional Insured Status Requirements for Certain Alien Workers (2882P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule will revise our regulations on insured status to include an additional insured status requirement under section 211 of Public Law 108-203--the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA)--for an alien worker who was originally assigned a Social Security number (SSN) on or after January 1, 2004.  Under this law, an alien worker must meet either of the following additional requirements to be fully or currently insured and to establish entitlement to any title II benefits based on his/her earnings:

*  At the time that SSA issues the SSN or later, the alien worker must be authorized by the Department of Homeland Security to work in the United States; or
*  The alien worker must have been admitted to the United States at any time as a nonimmigrant visitor for business (immigration category "B-1") or as an "alien crewman" (immigration category "D-1" or "D-2").

If an alien worker whose SSN was originally assigned on or after January 1, 2004, does not meet either of these requirements, then he/she is not fully or currently insured; thus entitlement is precluded.  This is true even if the alien worker appears to have the required number of quarters of coverage (QCs) in accordance with the other insured status provisions.  The additional insured status requirement affects the entitlement of certain alien workers, and any person seeking a benefit on the record of an alien who is subject to this law.

An alien worker who was properly assigned a SSN before January 1, 2004, is not subject to section 211 of the SSPA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Work Performed by Certain Nonresident Aliens (3316P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise our regulations on work performed by certain nonresident aliens.  We want to clarify that for nonimmigrant aliens with certain types of visas, the critical factor in determining whether the work is covered for Social Security purposes is whether the work is authorized under Department of Homeland Security regulations, not the specific nature of the work.  We also propose to add language to explain the difference between "covered work" and "authorized work."  Finally, we propose to substitute the word "coverage" for "employment" because "employment" has a specific meaning under the Social Security Act and its use could be confusing in the context of the revisions we propose to make to this regulation section.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Administrative Law Judge, Appeals Council, and Decision Review Board Appeals Levels (3401P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to include in parts 404 and 416 of our rules many of the hearing level procedures now in place for disability cases in the Boston region.  This change will expand those rules nationwide and apply them to hearings on both disability and non-disability matters.  We expect these rules will make the hearings process more efficient and help us reduce the hearings backlog, which has reached historic proportions, thereby benefiting all individuals requesting a hearing.  We also propose to amend our rules governing the final level of the administrative review process to make proceedings at that level more appellate in nature, to establish procedures for appeals to that level, and to change the name of the body that will hear such appeals from the "Appeals Council," or the "Decision Review Board" in the Boston region, to the "Review Board."  Consistent with the change to a more appellate process, we suggest limiting the circumstances in which new evidence may be added to the record during the appellate process.  We also propose circumscribing the time period covered in any subsequent administrative hearing on remand from the Review Board or a Federal court to the time period covered by the first administrative law judge's (ALJ) hearing decision in the case.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Compassionate Allowances (3427A)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act), we pay benefits to individuals who meet our rules for entitlement and have medically determinable physical or mental impairments that are severe enough to meet the definition of disability in the Act.  The rules for determining disability can be very complicated, but some individuals have such serious medical conditions that their conditions obviously meet our disability standards.  To address these individual's needs, we strive to provide not only responsive, but also compassionate, public service that ensures the most severely disabled in our society who meet the Act's requirements are awarded benefits quickly.  To that end, we are investigating methods of making "compassionate allowances" by quickly identifying individuals with obvious disabilities.  The purpose of this notice is to give you an opportuity to send us comments about what standards we should use for compassionate allowances, methods we might use to identify compassionate allowances, and suggestions for how to implement those standards and methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Representation of Claimants (3396P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our regulations concerning the representation of claimants before the Social Security Administration (SSA), and to publish the amended regulations in a new part of SSA's regulations.  Under the proposed rules, we would amend existing provisions of our regulations on representation and add new provisions to the regulations for the purpose of recognizing firms and other entities as participants in the representation of claimants.  We are also proposing a general expansion of our regulations on representation to add new provisions that would regulate additional practices and procedures that we follow in dealing with representatives and integrate those practices and procedures with the changes that we are making to recognize firms and other entities.  These new provisions pertain primarily to our procedures for authorizing and paying fees for services representatives furnish in proceedings before us.  Further, in addition to the changes in our existing regulations proposing to recognize firms and other entities, we are also proposing other, specific changes that affect the appointment or representatives, authorization and payment of fees, and rules of conduct for representatives who violate our requirements, rules, or standards.  The proposed rules also generally reorganize and rewrite existing regulatory provisions creating a new part in SSA's regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

We are revising these sections to ensure that the medical evaluation criteria are up-to-date and consistent with he latest advances in medical knowledge and treatment.  The SSI program incorporates by reference and uses the same medical criteria as the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 less than three years old, being effective 12/15/2004.  It was our intention to monitor these listings and to update the criteria as the need arose.  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.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We intend to propose regulations that apply to all levels of our adjudicatory process.  Our proposals include: 1) clarifying "good cause," 2) reemphasizing that Social Security Rulings are binding on all components, 3) clarifying rules regarding recontacting medical sources to resolve ambiguities in the current regulation, and 4) specifying that the preponderance of the evidence standard is the appropriate standard for adjudicating claims at the first three levels of administrative review.  We also will propose new regulatory language that will redefine the definition of a Medical Source Statement in terms of the limitations imposed by the claimants impairments rather than their remaining capacities, change the protected filing date for title II from 6 months to 60 days to mirror the policy in title XVI, and eliminate the requirement for additional documentation for proof of age for retirement applications where the alleged age matches information already contained in our database.]]></ABSTRACT>

This requirement is necessary because of the growing number of disability appeals, the current backlog, and limitations in staffing and funding.  Social Security intends that this action will shorten disability appeals time by reducing labor and processing time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Hearings Level Adjudication (3434P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend several regulations and provide new regulatory language in order to address inefficiencies in the hearings process.  These amendments will improve the operational effectiveness of our hearings offices.  The amendments include several provisions revising current regulations: 1) clarifying that claims denied by state Disability Determination Services for failure to cooperate are technical denials rather than medical determinations, 2) allowing Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) to dismiss more quickly cases at the hearing level when fully favorable decisions have already been issued by the State agency, and 3) providing flexibility in setting the time and place of hearings.  We also intend to propose new regulatory provisions that will allow ALJs to dismiss a request for a hearing where a claimant has abandoned his or her claim and to specify regulatory standards that require ALJs to clearly articulate their rationale when issuing decisions on remanded claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Updates to Medical-Vocational Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposals will update specific criteria in the Agencys medical vocational rules.  We propose to clarify our policy regarding the definition of "significant number of jobs" to provide adjudicators with the flexibility to use a variety of methods to document their decision.  We also propose changing the age range for a person "closely approaching retirement age" from "60  64" to "60 and older" to  acknowledge that SSA makes disability determinations for individuals over age 65 without making substantive changes to the way adjudicators weigh the effects of age.  Another proposed technical change includes modifying the vocational factor of "education" by removing references to "skilled" and "semiskilled" work as they relate to educational level, revising "direct entry" rules, clarifying the definitions of "education" and "limited education," and introducing a rebuttable presumption that an individual's educational level is commensurate with his or her formal schooling.  We also intend to clarify our policy regarding the use of vocational experts (VEs) and vocational specialists specifically with regard to the use of interrogatories for VEs and the use of various occupational data elements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to improve the operational efficiency of field offices by reducing the number of individuals who must be interviewed, face-to-face, in the office.  Specifically, we will eliminate the requirement to re-interview individuals who became a representative payee (rep payee) for more than one beneficiary.  Current policy requires a face-to-face interview for all proposed rep payees.  This regulation will eliminate the requirement for that interview where an individual is already serving as a rep payee for another beneficiary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Stepchild Entitlement and Termination Requirements (934F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will amend our 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 will 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 rules will reflect enacted legislation and provide accurate and complete guidelines for determining entitlement to benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rules will expand beneficiary eligibility to receive tickets under this program; clarify the rules for assignment of a beneficiary's ticket to a State vocational rehabilitation (VR) agency; revise the rules for payment when a beneficiary receives services from both a State VR agency and an employment network (EN); and, consistent with the Commissioner's authority in section 1148(h) of the Act, revise the rules for milestone and outcome payments, in order to increase the incentives for providers of employment services, vocational rehabilitation services, and other support services to participate in this program.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[These final rules are necessary to respond to our experience and the recommendations we have received since we began implementation of the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program in February 2002.  These changes are intended to increase the incentives for providers of employment, vocational rehabilitation services, and other support services to participate in this program, and to expand the options available to beneficiaries with disabilities to obtain services to assist them to go to work and attain self-sufficiency.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Not required by statute or court order.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We considered not revising the current regulations implementing the Ticket to Work program.  However, we believe that these revisions to the eligibility to receive a ticket, the clarification of the rules for assignment of a ticket to a State VR agency, and the amendment of the rules for paying ENs are necessary to increase participation in the Ticket to Work program by both service providers and the beneficiaries with disabilities.  This will increase the opportunities for the beneficiaries to seek the services necessary to obtain and retain employment and reduce their dependency on cash benefit programs.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[We anticipate initial costs to increase due to up-front payments to ENs, and then increased program savings in later years as ENs assist more beneficiaries to achieve self-sufficiency and reduce dependency on cash benefit programs, including the Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance programs.  These proposed changes are estimated to result in additional costs through 2017 due to increases in the frequency and levels of payments to providers, as well as to the deferral or loss of savings achieved currently from the Continuing Disability Review process.  While these higher costs are estimated to be partially offset later through an associated increase in the number of successful work attempts resulting in a reduction or elimination of certain OASDI and SSI benefits, the net effect is an increase in outlays over the budget horizon of approximately $1.3 billion.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final rules will revise the definitions of the age categories we use as one of the criteria in determining disability under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act).  The changes reflect our adjudicative experience, advances in medical treatment and healthcare, changes in the workforce since we originally published our rules for considering age in 1978, and current and future increases in the full retirement age under Social Security law.  The changes will not affect the rules under part 404 of our regulations for individuals age 55 or older who have statutory blindness.  They also will not affect our other rules that are dependent on age, such as the age at which you can qualify for early retirement benefits or for Medicare as a retired individual.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The change to these regulations is necessary to update the threshold amount of annual billing by CE providers that will trigger mandatory onsite review by DDS staff.  The workload associated with the regulatory requirement to perform onsite reviews at the largest CE providers has increased substantially due to inflation since 1991.  Therefore, mid-tier and even smaller CE providers are now receiving mandatory onsite reviews.  The change will restore the onsite review program to its intended purpose; to perform onsite review at the very large CE providers to ensure that those providers have facilities which meet SSA standards.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We considered not raising the amount, but determined that requiring onsite review for all CE providers with billings of $100,000 or more is an unnecessary burden for State DDSs and does not provide better service to the public.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These rules amend our regulations by correcting a cross-reference affecting entitlement to mother's and father's benefits, to include exception to the 9-month duration of marriage requirement.  And, in our regulations for determining if a grandchild or stepgrandchild is dependent with respect to the support requirement, we are deleting the outdated cross-reference to the definition of "substantially all" and inserting the current definition for "substantially all" in these regulations.

In addition, we are clarifying two of our regulations which discuss the conditions and evidentiary requirements for establishing a child in care of the insured to remove categories of beneficiaries who can be entitled which is incomplete and not relevant to the subject regulations.

We are also amending one of our regulations for clarity and to correct a typographical error.

We are rewriting section headings for 20 CFR 404.339, 404.340, 404.348, 404.349, 404.364 and 404.762 to comply with the provisions of Executive Order 12866, as amended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To implement section 203 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA), we will revise our regulation on the payment of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act).  Section 203 requires that title II benefits will not be paid to a person who is a fugitive felon or probation or parole violator, unless good cause is shown.  Section 203 also adds a good cause exception to the title XVI fugitive felon ineligibility provision.  In addition, we will make other changes required by this legislation, such as removing the reference to high misdemeanors in the state of New Jersey.  Finally, we will clarify our interpretation of the statutory language]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dedicated Accounts and Installment Payments for Certain Past Due Supplemental Security Income Benefits (622F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final rules adopt, with some minor changes, the interim final rules with request for comments published in the Federal Register on December 20, 1996 (61 FR 67203).  The interim final rules reflected amendment to the Social Security Act (the Act) concerning dedicated accounts and installment payments for certain past-due SSI benefits made by sections 213 and 221 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996.  Section 213 requires representative payees of children under age 18 who are to receive past-due SSI benefits that exceed 6 times the maximum Federal Benefit Rate (FBR) to establish dedicated accounts in financial institutions to be used only for certain purposes specified in section 213.  Section 221 requires, with certain exceptions, that past-due SSI benefits which equal or exceed 12 times the maximum FBR be paid in installments.  These final rules also reflect a technical amendment made by section 5522(b) of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 that was enacted August 5, 1997, which relates to section 213 of the 1996 legislation.

In addition, these final rules reflect conforming provisions to section 302 of the Social Security Protection Act (SSPA) of 2004 that was effective May 2005, which provides for the direct payment of representative fees by SSA from any past due benefits that may be payable to an individual.

Finally, these final rules also reflect the conforming provisions of section 7502 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, enacted February 8, 2006, which changes the formula for the payment of past due benefits for SSI recipients from 12 times the FBR plus any federally administered State supplementation to 3 times the FBR plus any federally administered State supplementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Title VI (Civil Rights Act (1964)), Title IX (Education Amend. (1972)), Rehabilitation Act (1973), and Age Discrimination Act (1975) in Programs/Activities Receiving Financial Assistance by SSA (617P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior to March 31, 1995, SSA was an operating component of HHS and the general regulatory authority for SSA programs and administration was vested in the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) based on section 1102 of the Social Security Act (the Act) (42 U.S.C. 1302). The 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final rules remove regulatory provisions relating to the requirement to refer for vocational rehabilitation (VR) services those individuals who become entitled to or eligible for disability or blindness benefits under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act).  These changes are being made to reflect the repeal of section 222(a) and amendment of section 1615(a) of the Act.  Prior to their repeal and amendment, these sections of the Act required the Commissioner of Social Security to refer disabled or blind beneficiaries to a State VR agency for necessary rehabilitation services. The final rules also remove regulatory provisions for referral of disabled or blind beneficiaries to alternate participants for VR services that have become obsolete.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current regulation at 20 CFR 422.527 requires persons to obtain approval from the Social Security Administration (SSA) prior to reproducing, duplicating, or privately printing any application or other form prescribed by the Administration.  Such approval is required whether or not the person intends to charge a fee.  Section 1140(a)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act (the Act) (42 U.S.C. 1320b-10(a)(2)(A)) prohibits persons from charging a fee to reproduce, reprint, or distribute any SSA application, form, or publication unless authorized by the Commissioner of Social Security in accordance with such regulations as he may prescribe.  This proposed rule would amend the current regulation to require SSA pre-approval to reproduce SSA's forms, applications, and publications only if the person intends to charge a fee and prescribe the procedures for obtaining such approval.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 1.00 and 101.00 of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of our regulations (404.1501 through 404.1599) describe those musculoskeletal 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 musculoskeletal impairments.  The Supplemental Security Income Program incorporates and uses the same medical criteria as the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sixty-Month Period of Employment Requirement for Government Pension Offset Exemption (3022P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To implement section 418 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA), we propose to revise our regulations to explain that a State or local government worker will be subject to the Government Pension Offset (GPO) provision under title II of the Social Security Act (the Act), if any part of the last 60 months of government service was not covered by Social Security.  We also propose to replace the words receiving and received with the word payable when referring to the eligibility to or payout from a government pension.  This wording change will make the regulatory and statutory language consistent and help clarify when the GPO is applicable.  In addition, we propose to revise our regulations to reflect a separate 60-month requirement that was made applicable to Federal employees by a 1987 law, described below.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 5.00 and 105.00, Digestive Disorders, of appendix 1 subpart P of part 404 of our regulations (404.1501 through 404.1599) 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 causes marked and severe functional limitations.  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 SSI program incorporates by reference and uses the same medical criteria as the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Updates to Applicability of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Reduced Benefit Rate for Individuals Residing in Medical Treatment Facilities (794F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our regulations to reflect two provisions of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 that affect the payment of benefits under title XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act).  One of the provisions extended temporary institutionalization benefits to children receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits who enter private medical treatment facilities and who otherwise would be ineligible for temporary institutionalization benefits because of private insurance coverage.  The other provision replaced obsolete terminology in the Act that referred to particular kinds of medical facilities and substituted a broader, more descriptive term.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temp Ext of Atty Fee Payment System to Title XVI; 5-Year Demo Project Extending Fee Withholding and Payment Procedures to Eligible Non-Attorney Reps; . . . (3246F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending our regulations to conform the regulations to the provisions of sections 301, 302 and 303 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA, Public Law 108-203); section 406 of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvements Act of 1999 (TWWIIA, Public Law 106-170); section 321(f) of the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994 (SSIPIA, Public Law 103-296); and section 5106 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA 1990, Public Law 101-508).  Section 5106 of OBRA 1990 and section 301(f) of the SSIPIA affected the way we define past-due benefits for the purpose of calculating the fees we pay directly for representation of claimants before the Social Security Administration (SSA).  Section 406 of the TWWIIA established an assessment for the services required to determine and certify payments to attorneys from the benefits due claimants under title II of the Social Security Act (the Act).  Section 301 of the SSPA amended the Act to cap the assessment and to adjust the cap annually based on the cost-of-living computation in section 215(i)(2)(A)(ii) of the Act.  Section 302 of the SSPA amended the Act to temporarily extend the attorney fee withholding, payment and assessment procedures to claims under title XVI of the Act.  Section 303 of the SSPA authorizes a 5-year, nationwide demonstration project, under both title II and title XVI of the Act, that extends fee withholding, direct payment and assessment procedures to non-attorney representatives who the Commissioner of Social Security determines have met prerequisites for participating in the project.  We are amending our regulations to reflect these statutory changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to revise our regulations for the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program (Ticket to Work program), authorized by the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999.  The Ticket to Work program provides beneficiaries with disabilities expanded options for access to employment, vocational rehabilitation, and other support services.  The program is an important part of the comprehensive SSA work opportunity initiative which is focused on helping beneficiaries with disabilities who want to work do so.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our regulations to extend the quick disability determination process (QDD), which is operating now in the Boston region, to all of the State disability determination services.  We also propose to remove from the QDD process the existing requirements that each State disability determination service maintain a separate QDD unit and that each case referred under QDD be adjudicated within 20 days.  These proposed actions stem from our continuing effort to improve our disability adjudication process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>SSA Implementation of OMB Guidance on Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension (3382F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Social Security Administration (SSA) is moving its regulations on nonprocurement debarment and suspension from title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), chapter III, part 436, to title 2 of the CFR, subtitle B, chapter 23, part 2336.  In 2 CFR part 180, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) provides guidance for Federal agencies on the government-wide debarment and suspension system for nonprocurement programs and activities.  SSA is implementing regulations covering policies and procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension by adopting OMBs guidance in 2 CFR part 180 and adding some provisions that are specific to SSA.  The new part in 2 CFR will be substantively the same as the prior nonprocurement debarment and suspension regulations that set forth common policies and procedures that Federal Executive branch agencies use in taking suspension and debarment actions (the common rule).  However, 2 CFR will consolidate all of the Executive agencies regulations in one location so that they are easier to find.  This regulatory action is an administrative simplification that makes no substantive change in SSA policies or procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We use the Listing of Impairments (the listings) at the third step of the sequential evaluation process when we evaluate your claim for benefits based on disability under title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act).  This final rule extends until July 01, 2008, the date on which the listings for eight body systems will no longer be effective.  Other than extending the effective date of the listings, we have made no revisions to the listings; they remain the same as they now appear in the Code of Federal Regulations.  This extension will ensure that we continue to have the medical evaluation criteria in the listings to adjudicate disability claims involving these body systems at the third step of the sequential evaluation process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board is proposing to revise its guidelines for determining the reasonableness of challenged rail rates in cases where a full stand-alone cost presentation is too costly, given the value of the case.  The proposed revisions to the guidelines would provide for a simplified stand-alone cost procedure for medium-size rate disputes, a modified three-benchmark method for small rate disputes, and would establish eligibility thresholds based on the cost to bring the next most precise type of case.  The Board also proposes to amend its procedures for processing such rate cases.]]></ABSTRACT>
