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 The alternative would be to continue to work with the disjointed, outdated part 3015.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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the provisions of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, regulation changes will incorporate updates to the Export Credit Guarantee Programs.  The purpose is to repeal all reference to the GSM-103 program and the Supplier Credit Guarantee Program, and to incorporate improvements and changes to the implementation and operation of the GSM-102 program.

The improvements to the GSM-102 program over the last 25 years of its operation will be incorporated into the proposed updated regulations.  USDA will incorporate program changes that resulted from automation of the sales registration process; changes to program announcements; the establishment of regional programs and a fee payment deadline; and changes to data requirements for evidence of export and claims processing, submission, and payment.  USDA needs to add and refine definitions within the regulations and clarify the examples provided within the regulations on claims and pro-rata payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

The current regulations will incorporate proposed changes to improve stakeholder effectiveness and the internal administration of the program.  The changes increase the amount of funding that a participant can request in a given year; remove the prohibition that limits proposals to 3 years; and remove the prohibition limiting participants to no more than three approved projects underway at any given time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 final 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 especially include toll operations, which was inadvertently omitted; and implementing Mexico-NAFTA legal commitments.  The final action will provide for increased operational efficiencies and promote the Government's objectives regarding regulatory simplification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition (McGovern-Dole Program) Program and Food for Progress (FFP) Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The McGovern-Dole Program helps promote education, child development, and food security for some of the worlds poorest children.  It provides for donations of U.S. agricultural products, as well as financial and technical assistance for school feeding, and maternal and child nutrition projects in low-income countries.  The FFP is targeted to countries that are making strides toward democracy and private enterprise.  The program emphasizes private sector agricultural and economic development and enhanced food security in recipient countries.

This final rule amends the regulations at 7 CFR parts 1499 and 1599 used to administer the McGovern-Dole Program and the FFP, respectively, by removing obsolete references to offices within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and by making revisions to provide greater clarity with respect to all aspects of the program, with specific emphasis on:  The eligibility requirements that a participant must meet and the actions that must be undertaken by a participant in order to receive assistance under these programs including the reports that are filed by program participants with the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). 
 
The commodity procurement regulations at 7 CFR part 1496 which are used to obtain commodities under these programs would be deleted and republished, with minor revisions, in the Agriculture Acquisition Regulation (AGAR) in chapter 4 of title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  The AGAR would also be amended to specify the criteria used in determining whether a purchased commodity is solely a product of the United States.  The criteria would be applicable to commodities procured under international and domestic feeding programs administered by USDA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disaster Declaration and Designation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will move regulations used by the Farm Service Agency (FSA) from chapter XVIII of the Code of Federal Regulations, formerly used by the predecessor to FSA, the Farmers Home Administration, to chapter VII, the chapter where most FSA rules are promulgated.  This rule also clarifies and simplifies procedures for identifying disaster areas, reorganizes provisions in a more logical manner, and removes administrative provisions.  The intent of this rule is to update regulations to match the current USDA structure.

Proposed changes to the regulation would delegate the designation authority from the Secretary to the State level, remove the requirement for a request for designation of a disaster area from a State Governor or Indian Tribal Council to the Secretary, add a simplified disaster designation in severe drought situations, and change the USDA Secretarial disaster designation process from 6 steps to 3 steps for natural disasters, including certain other drought situations.]]></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>Sugar Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations in 7 CFR part 1435 for the Sugar Program are being modified to account for new provisions in the 2008 Farm Bill.  In addition, we will clarify the regulations to handle concerns raised since the last sugar program regulation change.  There are several significant changes:

1.  General Provisions:  The applicability period for the new regulations is extended through crop year 2012.  Additions to the Definition section (for example, eligible entity).  
2.  Loan Program:  The Loan Rate section must be changed to incorporate new nonrecourse loan rates for raw and refined sugar.  Most significant  Add a Feedstock Flexibility Program for Bioenergy Producers to dispose of anticipated surplus sugar supply in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) region.  Add terms for Storage Facility Loans and Commodity Credit Corporation storage payments.
3.  Information Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements:  Modify to incorporate data on the Mexican sugar market.  
4.  Flexible Marketing Allotments for Sugar:  Define new terms (for example, human consumption and market).  Extend the applicability period through crop year 2012.  Change rules for establishing the overall allotment quantity (OAQ), the most important factor being that domestic processors are guaranteed an OAQ not less than 85 percent of domestic food use demand.  In addition, permanent transfer of acreage base histories under proportionate shares will be modified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule will implement the provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill that affect Farm Loan Programs (FLP) Loan Making Division (LMD); there is discretion involved in the implementation.  The sections being implemented are: 5001, Direct Loans; 5005, Beginning Farmer or Rancher and Socially Disadvantaged Farmer or Rancher Contract Land Sales Program Down Payment Loan Program; 5101, Farming Experience as an Eligibility Requirement; 5201, Eligibility of Equine Farmers and Ranchers for Emergency Loans; 5301, Beginning Farmer and Rancher Individual Development Accounts Pilot Program; and 5501, Loans to Purchase Highly Fractionated Land.

A Beginning Farmer and Rancher Individual Development Accounts 5-year pilot program will be established in at least 15 States.  The program entails FSA making grants to qualified nonprofit organizations who then deliver the program to eligible participants.  Grantees must match 50 percent of the grant received.  Under the program, qualified, low-income beginning farmers or prospective beginning farmers would establish saving accounts with a monthly deposit plan administered by the grantees.  The program funds must match the participants deposits at a minimum of 100 percent and a maximum of 200 percent.  Participants must use the savings account funds toward the purchase of farmland, livestock, or similar farm start-up/operating expenses.  The program must be operated by and in conjunction with FSA farm loan programs.  The initial applications for the program must be approved no more than one year after the law is enacted.  The program is not mandatory; an appropriation of up to $5 million annually is authorized to fund the program.

        <RULE_TITLE>Loan Servicing; Farm Loan Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2008 Farm Bill requires several changes to the Farm Service Agency (FSA) Farm Loan Program (FLP) loan servicing regulations.  An overall plan will be established to insure that borrowers can be transitioned to private credit in the shortest timeframe practicable.  At present, FSA monitors the status of all borrowers to determine if graduation is possible.  The 2008 Farm Bill emphasizes this responsibility and insures that FSA uses all the tools available to graduate borrowers to commercial credit as soon as they can financially do so.  In 2007, over 2,500 direct borrowers (about 3.7 percent of the portfolio) graduated to commercial credit.  FSA believes graduation will continue in the 3 to 5 percent range and is dependant on the overall farm economy.

The right of an FSA borrower-owner to purchase leased property under Homestead Protection will be extended beyond the borrower-owner to the immediate family.  Currently, FSA only has 38 properties in Homestead Protection.

Acceleration and foreclosure will be suspended on borrowers who file a claim of program discrimination against the Department or have a claim pending.  Interest accrual and offset will also be suspended during the time of the moratorium.

        <RULE_TITLE>Selection of FSA State and County Committees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the regulations to implement the provisions of the 2002 Farm Bill relating to the establishment of FSA county, area, and local committees.  The statute provides that committees have from three to five members, that they be representative of the producers in the area, and that the term of office not exceed 3 years.  It also requires that the Secretary 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending the regulations to implement provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill concerning storage facility loans.  The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) Charter Act authorizes CCC to provide financing for producers to build or upgrade farm storage and handling facilities.  The 2008 Farm Bill requires changes to the storage facility loan program, including increasing the loan limit, increasing the term limit, and adding hay and renewable biomass as eligible stored commodities.  The 2008 Farm Bill changes have been added into this rule, which will amend the regulations to clarify procedures for the storage of ineligible commodities in financed structures.  The FSFL maximum principal amount will increase to $500,000 from the current limit of $100,000 per eligible borrower signing the note and security agreement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grassroots Source Water Protection Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are implementing the new Grassroots Source Water Program (Source Water), which was authorized by the 2002 Farm Bill as an amendment to the Food Security Act of 1985; the 2008 Farm Bill increased the maximum amount to be authorized annually from fiscal year (FY) 2008 through 2012.  Source Water uses onsite technical assistance of State rural water associations and devotes Rural Source Water Technicians to create operating plans that identify priority areas where local pollution prevention efforts are needed most in their States.

Working with FSA and NRCS at the State and local level, the technicians help to create local community-centered teams to develop a Rural Source Water Protection Plan that promotes clean ground water and outline voluntary measures that farmers, ranchers, and other producers can install on their farms to prevent source water pollution.

Voluntary measures include the use of riparian buffers, filter strips, and other related practices authorized under the Conservation Reserve Program.  Appropriations of $20 million per year were authorized.]]></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 modifying the 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 amending 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>Tobacco Transition Program, Final Dates for Program Signup and Successor-in-Interest Transfers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Tobacco Transition Payment Program (TTPP), which began in 2005, will end in 2014 and provides payments to assist tobacco quota holders and producers to transition to a free tobacco market from the previously federally regulated program.  The final rule will establish deadlines to end the TTPP signup period and the option for contract holders to, in essence, sell their contracts to a third party.  The final rule contains two Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) deadlines for TTPP holders and producers of quota tobacco and for owners of Successor-in-Interest (SII) contracts:  (1) Enrollment in TTPP will end 60 days after publication of the final rule and (2) the option for the owner of a TTPP contract to take the following actions will end 90 days after publication of the final rule:

(a) Enter into an SII contract or the current owner of an SII contract to enter into a successive SII contract (a successor contract essentially sells a contract);
(b) transfer a TTPP contract to a family member; or
(c) transfer a TTPP contract to a producer who had purchased marketing quota prior to October 22, 2004, and assigned the quota to a farm the producer did not own.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[New regulations in 7 CFR 760 will implement provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill regarding SURE.  SURE uses funds from the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund (Trust Fund) for crop production or quality losses incurred on or before September 30, 2011.  The new provisions are for SURE payments to eligible producers on farms in disaster counties and on farms in which weather-related losses exceeded 50 percent of the normal production for that year.  SURE payments will be issued to eligible producers in an amount equal to 60 percent of the difference between the disaster assistance program guarantee and the total farm revenue for a farm.  Producers are required to purchase coverage under the Noninsured Disaster Program (NAP) for their eligible crops as a prerequisite to receiving assistance under SURE.  Producers meeting the definition of socially disadvantaged, limited resource, and beginning farmer or rancher will be exempted from the requirement to purchase crop insurance or NAP coverage.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Payments to Deceased Persons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are implementing the requirement in the 2008 Farm Bill to prevent the issuance of program payments to deceased individuals.  Currently, the regulation in 7 CFR part 707 covers the manner in which program payments may be issued in cases when a producer dies and is owed payments.  However, the new provision is to identify only those specific instances in which those payments can be issued.  The new provision will also implement the requirement that FSA reconcile program participant records with records from the Social Security Administration on a regular basis in an effort to prevent improper or erroneous payments to individuals after the date of death.]]></ABSTRACT>

The interim rule will implement the provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill for LIP payments to eligible livestock producers on farms that have incurred livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality rates during the calendar year due to adverse weather, as determined by the Secretary, including losses due to hurricanes, floods, blizzards, disease, wildfires, extreme heat, and extreme cold.

LIP payments will be issued based on 75 percent of the fair market value of the livestock on the day before the date of death of the livestock, as determined by the Secretary.  These payments will be made based on individual producers losses.  No State, county, or other trigger will be used to define an eligible LIP area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are changing the Conservation Compliance regulations as required by the 2008 Farm Bill.  The new rule will implement 2 primary changes.  Other minor technical corrections and updates will be included.  The primary changes specify who must concur with approval of good faith determinations and the introduction of the graduated payment penalty for producers who receive a good faith determination.  The 2008 Farm Bill requires an administrative review and concurrence of the FSA County Committee good faith relief determination.  It also requires USDA to reduce producer program benefits based upon the seriousness of highly erodible land violations when a good faith determination is made in favor of the producer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commodity Assessments; Loans, Purchases, and Other Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations in 7 CFR part 1405 provide the CCC loan interest rate, delegations of authority for CCC programs and activities, crop insurance, etc.  In the past, CCC asked commodity associations and other related entities to pay a fee to cover the administrative costs to implement commodity assessment collections, which included modification of the rate of collection or development of automation software.  The 2008 Farm Bill prohibits us from charging this fee to recover our administrative costs for commodity assessments.  Therefore, we are changing the regulation to remove the reference to that fee.  This regulatory change applies solely to section 1405.9, Commodity Assessments.  We will remove one phrase from one sentence of the regulations that refers to administrative costs incurred by CCC in the collection of the commodity assessment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commodity Incentive Payments; Wheat and Oilseed Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations need to be added to implement provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill to establish three commodity incentive programs for the 2009 through 2012 crop years, subject to the availability of appropriations.  The Oilseed Quality Incentive Program (OQIP) provides quality incentive payments for the production of oilseeds with specialized traits that enhance human health.  The Hard White Wheat Development Program (HWWDP) provides production and seed incentive payments for the planting of hard white wheat to promote the establishment of hard white wheat as a viable market class of wheat in the United States.  The Durum Wheat Quality Program (DWQP) compensates for the cost of fungicides applied to a crop of durum wheat to control Fusarium head blight.  The final rule will implement the HWWDP, DWQP, and OQIP provisions when appropriations are made available.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Asparagus Market Loss Assistance Payment (AMLAP) Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2008 Farm Bill authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to make payments to producers of the 2007 crop of asparagus for market loss resulting from imports during the 2004 through 2007 crop years.  We are implementing new regulations for this new program.  The Asparagus Market Loss Assistance Payment (AMLAP) Program will utilize $15 million of Commodity Credit Corporation funds to make payments to asparagus producers.  Of the amount available, $7,500,000 will be used to make payments to producers of asparagus for fresh market, and the other $7,500,000 will be used to make payments to producers of asparagus for the processed or frozen market.  The direct cash payments to asparagus producers will be based on the reduction in revenue received by asparagus producers associated with imports during the 2004 through 2007 crop years on each farm unit.  A particular farm will be eligible for a payment based on reported loss of revenue, with a maximum eligible payment quantity equal to the average quantity of the 2003 crop of asparagus produced per farm.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising the regulations in 7 CFR part 1437 to implement provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill for the Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).  The rule will increase service fees for NAP as specified in the Farm Bill, section 12028:  From $100 per crop to $250 per crop, $300 per county to $750 per county, and $900 per multicounty producer to $1875 per multicounty producer.  The rule will incorporate the new groups for waivers.  Sections 12033 and 15101 expand the waivers for NAP fees already available to limited resource farmers or ranchers to socially disadvantaged and beginning farmers or ranchers.  This rule will also implement the provisions addressing eligibility of native sod acreage that is tilled for the production of an annual crop during the first five crop years of planting (not to include areas of five acres or less) and coverage for aquaculture producers that will now include all losses related to drought.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 proposing permanent regulations to allow USDA to efficiently place priority ratings on contracts or orders with respect to resources within its authority should the need arise. FSA envisions regulations similar to the Department of Commerces Defense Priorities and Allocation System (DPAS) for establishing priority ratings for contract performance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Biomass Crop Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are adding a new regulation to implement the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) as required by the 2008 Farm Bill.  We will collaborate with USDA/Rural Development (RD), private industry, agricultural and forest land owners to support the evaluation and selection of BCAP project areas.  BCAP project areas must include a commitment to use local production; evidence of sufficient equity (if the facility is not operational at the time of proposal); anticipated economic impacts; opportunities for local ownership; the participation rate by beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers; the impact on soil, water, and related resources; and the variety in biomass production approaches.  FSA will partner with RD, which has capability and responsibility, including the potential for providing funding for proposed biomass conversion facility, regarding BCAP project area evaluation and selection.  After BCAP project area selection, FSA, acting on behalf of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), may enter into contracts with BCAP project area producers for a term of up to 5 years for annual and perennial crops and up to 15 years for woody biomass.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are adding a new regulation in 7 CFR part 1400 to implement the new Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (Public Access), which was authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill.  Public Access is a voluntary program under which State and tribal governments may apply for grants to encourage owners and operators of privately held farm, ranch, and forest land to voluntarily make that land available for access by the public for wildlife-dependent recreation under programs administered by State and tribal governments.  Grant applications must describe the benefits that the State or Tribal government intends to achieve by encouraging public access for hunting, fishing, and recreational purposes and the methods used to achieve those benefits.  Priority-selection factors include grant applications that:

(1) Provide for widespread acceptance by landowners;
(2) ensure there is appropriate wildlife habitat;
(3) strengthen wildlife habitat improvement efforts under Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP);
(4) propose to use additional Federal, State, tribal government or private resources; and
(5) make available to the public the location of the enrolled land.

Grants will be reduced for States that have inconsistent migratory bird hunting dates applicable to residents and non-residents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ocean Freight Claims Administrative Appeal Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will establish an administrative appeals procedure to be used by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) for ocean transportation cargo loss and damage claims arising under shipments of agricultural commodities, which were 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.  The rule sets forth the administrative appeal system to be used in resolving these claims.  The rule requires 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.  The total amount of these claims is approximately $20 million, including $10 million that has been referred to the Department of Justice.  Based on 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>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defining Sugar Subject to Marketing Allocations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 7 CFR 1435.2, USDA planned to modifying the definition of "Sugar" to mean 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.

Under the authority in the 2008 Farm Bill for the Sugar Program, CCC incorporated required changes about the definition of sugar into the Sugar program final rule under RIN 0560-AH86.  Therefore, this RIN is being withdrawn.]]></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>Request for Comment on Changing Regulations Governing Cash and Share Leases for Future Farm Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The ANPRM requested comments and views regarding current regulations governing cash lease and share lease provisions under the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program to determine whether the regulations should be revised for future farm programs.  Due to market trends and the increased use of flexible or variable cash leases, the regulations were reviewed to determine whether the regulations governing cash lease and share lease provisions under the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program should be revised.  Under the authority in the 2008 Farm Bill for the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program, CCC incorporated changes based on comments received on the ANPRM into the DCP and ACRE final rule published on 12/29/2008 under RIN 0560-AH84.  Therefore, this RIN is being withdrawn.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cotton Program Changes for Loans, Loan Deficiency Payments, Upland Cotton, and Extra Long Staple Cotton</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule established and revised cotton program regulations required to implement provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill.  Ongoing programs for which regulations were amended are the:  (1) Recourse seed-cotton loan program for upland and ELS cotton; (2) non-recourse marketing assistance loans for upland cotton and ELS cotton; and (3) the ELS competitiveness payment program.  New regulations are established for the Economic Adjustment Assistance to Users of Upland Cotton Program, a new program established by the 2008 Farm Bill to provide cash payments to domestic upland cotton users.  The 2008 Farm Bill requires substantive changes to existing programs that must be reflected in the regulations, including a change in the way the world price for upland cotton is calculated and a reduction in the rate paid for cotton storage.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program (DCP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program regulations were revised to implement provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill regarding direct and counter-cyclical payments for the crop years 2008 through 2012.  The payments provide income support to producers of eligible commodities, are based on historically-based acreage and yields, and do not depend on the current production choices of the farmer.

The regulatory changes for DCP are consistent with the 2008 Farm Bill, with little to no room for discretionary changes.  Implementation of the new Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program required some policy changes for the details.  In addition to the Farm Bill changes, we also clarified the treatment of cash and share lease provisions because they relate to DCP in addition to other FSA programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Marketing Assistance Loans and Loan Deficiency Payments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulatory changes are required to extend the Nonrecourse Marketing Assistance Loans (MALs) and Loan Deficiency Payments (LDPs) for 2008 through 2012 crop years.  The 2008 Farm Bill explicitly specifies many of the terms and provisions for MALs and LDPs.

One significant change in the 2008 Farm Bill with respect to storage, handling, and associated costs, beginning with the 2008 crop of peanuts, the Secretary will pay handling and other associated costs (other than storage costs) incurred at the time at which the peanuts are placed under loan, as determined by the Secretary.  Accordingly, the Secretary will require the repayment of handling and other associated costs paid under this section for all peanuts pledged as collateral for a loan that is redeemed under this section.  The provisions for the forfeiture remains unchanged.

While updating the regulations, we will make minor changes for clarification purposes.  We are adding the following clarifications to be consistent with 7 CFR part 1421, the MAL and LDP regulation, which includes similar policies for other commodities:
 - Amending the provisional statement contained in option to purchase contracts to remove the risk of loss component when determining if beneficial interest is maintained by the producer;
 - Amending the assessment of liquidated damages to clarify the applicable loan rate that is applied to the loan quantity, which CCC determines to be involved in a loan violation, and the portion of the loan that must be repaid; and
 - Clarifying that producers may repay a honey nonrecourse loan during the loan period, as determined by CCC, at a lower repayment rate, if applicable.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Renewable Energy--Clarify Requirements for Construction/Development of Energy Program Projects</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (Agency) is amending its regulation for clarity.  This regulation provides financial assistance to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for the purpose of purchasing and installing renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements in rural areas.  Financial assistance to any single entity may be provided as a direct loan, guaranteed loan or grant, or a combination of a loan and grant.   The current regulations were implemented in July of 2005.  In reviewing the program, it has become evident that some of the language in the existing regulation was misinterpreted by field offices and applicants. With a relatively new program like this, it takes some time to get applications completed and the program reviewed before one realizes the need for corrections to Instruction language.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed action will encourage biorefineries existing at the time the 2008 Farm Bill became law to replace fossil fuels used to produce heat or power used in their operation by making payments for installation of new systems that use renewable biomass and/or new production of energy from renewable biomass. 

Payments may be made under section 9004 to any biorefinery that meets the requirements of this section for a period determined by the Secretary. The Secretary shall determine the amount of payments to be made after considering factors addressing fossil fuel offsets and the cost effectiveness of renewable biomass systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bioenergy Program For Advanced Biofuels directs the Secretary of Agriculture to make payments to eligible producers to support and ensure an expanding production of advanced biofuels.  Advanced biofuels are defined as 'fuel derived from renewable biomass other than corn kernel starch' in The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.  The program will increase energy independence, promote resource conservation, diversify markets for agricultural and forestry products, create jobs, and enhance economic development in rural economies.  To receive a payment, an eligible producer shall enter into a contract with the Secretary of Agriculture for production of advanced biofuels.  The basis for payments under this program are the quantity and duration of production of biofuel produced by an eligible producer, the net nonrenewable energy content of the advanced biofuel, and other appropriate factors as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture.]]></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.  Section 6027 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) reauthorized and amended 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 Advance 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Delivery Enhancement for Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Rural Development proposes to combine into a single regulation the common features of the following grant programs:

1. Energy for Rural America
2. Value-Added Agricultural Market Development Produce Grants (VAPG) 
3. Community Facilities Grant Program
4. Water and Waste Disposal Direct Loans and Grants
5. Telecom Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grant Program
6. Economic Impact Initiative Grant Program
7. Rural Cooperative Development Grant (RCDG)
8. Tribal College Educational Equity Grants

This new regulation is expected to encompass the policies and procedures for conducting grant pre-award activities, awarding grants, conducting post-award activities, and closing out grants.  The intent of this action is to improve program delivery by eliminating unnecessary differences among the programs, thus, making it easier for potential grantees to participate in these programs.  The action is not expected to involve substantive policy changes, but it will likely include some mechanical procedural changes that would be expected to produce the same policy results in a more streamlined manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A recent Management Control Review of the program identified contradictions between the processing and servicing regulations.  The Agency is correcting inconsistencies regarding eligible and ineligible loan purposes; ineligible borrowers; and the definition of rural area.  Clarifications are being made to setting the level of ultimate recipient loan assistance and establishing when debt refinancing should be considered.  References to churches are deleted, which precluded charitable and faith-based institutions from participating in the program, in order to align with current Department policies.  Annual reports on the extent to which increased employment, income and ownership opportunities are provided to low-income persons, farm families, and displaced farm families for each loan made by an intermediary will be required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 USDA Rural Development and/or the Agency, proposes to amend its regulations on lien accommodations and subordinations.  The rule would propose 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.  The rule would 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 and update to the existing lien accommodation and subordination regulations in its ongoing effort to maintain current program rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Broadband Access Loans and Loan Guarantees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[There has been more than $1.7 billion in loans for broadband deployment with more than 1,900 rural communities that will receive broadband services. Even with this level of success, the program needs to be adjusted to better serve un-served or underserved communities. In response, the Rural Utilities Service, an agency delivering the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Utilities Programs, hereinafter referred to as Rural Development and/or the Agency, revised 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 un-served 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. A proposed rule was published in May 2007 seeking comments from interested parties.  Subsequently, the rulemaking process was suspended in light of the new Farm Bill legislation which would make amendments to the statutory requirements, thus requiring further rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2008 Farm Bill, Water and Waste Loans and Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Rural Development Utilities Programs proposes to amend regulation 7 CFR 1780 to implement the provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill for interest rates.  Interest rates on loans subject to 5 or 7 percent interest rate limitations will be established at rates equal to a percentage of current market yields for outstanding municipal obligations.  Sections 1780.13 (b) and (c) must be changed to reflect the correct interest rate language.  The interest rate changes will enable more communities that could not afford higher interest rates to obtain loan financing.  Thus, the Utilities Programs may make more loans to communities, thus preserving grant funds for truly needy communities.  Reaching more communities that need Federal assistance is the intended result.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2008 Farm Bill, Household Water Well System Grant Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Rural Development Utilities Programs proposes to make two amendments to regulation 7 CFR 1776.  The first amendment will implement the provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill for loan limits.  Section 1776.15, section (a) (3), will be amended to replace $8,000 with $11,000, the new maximum loan amount a nonprofit may make to homeowners for private wells.  The second amendment will enable existing grant recipients to amend their grant agreements for the new loan limit of $11,000.  Section 1776.10 will be amended to insert language providing for amendments to grant agreements and enabling existing grant recipients to comply with statutory requirements as they are enacted.  The loan limit increase will allow homeowners to obtain financial assistance for well repairs and improvements in areas where the construction costs for wells routinely exceed $8,000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Policies, Types of Loans, Loan Requirements--Telecommunications Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Development Utilities Programs Telecommunications Program makes loans to rural utilities and other entities to improve and expand telecommunications services in rural areas.  One of the provisions contained in 7 CFR part 1735 requires a borrower to maintain a Times Interest Earned Ratio (TIER) of at least 1.0 during the loan forecast period when the construction is being undertaken.  It has become necessary to revise 7 CFR part 1735 to eliminate this requirement. 

This change would not constitute a loan security issue for the Agency because the borrower would still be required to maintain the prescribe TIER at the end of the forecast period (i.e. end of the construction period). The Agency believes that the change will eliminate situation where an otherwise financially sound applicant or borrower is denied funding because it could not meet the TIER requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>Section 538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program--Refinancing of GRRHP Properties</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency intends to add sections to regulation 7 CFR 3565 to provide underwriting guidelines for the refinancing of section 538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program (GRRHP) properties.  As some properties are already 10 years in operations, the Agency envisions the need to refinance GRRHP properties in the near future in order to preserve lower rents for tenants or increase the viability of GRRHP properties encountering cash flow problems due to expensive debt service.  The objective of additional sections to the regulation is to provide the framework for refinancing GRRHP properties since current regulatory structure currently exists.  The new sections will provide processing instructions and eligibility requirements for GRRHP properties.]]></ABSTRACT>

This regulation amendment includes the following changes: 1) New information is incorporated to update the thermal standards guidance for manufactured housing and updated pest control documentation forms are added for existing home purchases; 2) requirements for providers of Insured 10-Year Home Warranty Plans will no longer be maintained by the Agency; the Agency will adopt current HUD criteria to govern the requirements; 3) the Agency will no longer perform extensive construction inspections. In most cases, the Agency will perform final inspections. In other cases, the Agency will perform progress inspections, when the locality does not have the resources; 4) the International Code Council is added to the list of acceptable model building codes and the new Energy Act is applied to the thermal standards; 5) the perimeter foundation wall is no longer required for manufactured housing financed under the guaranteed single-family housing program; 6) Agency guides are updated to reflect recent revisions to the American Institute of Architects contract documents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Facility Loans--Update Contract Guide Documents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service (Agency) is amending its regulation to update contract guide documents and make minor revisions to streamline processing. 

Community Facilities uses American Institute of Architects (AIA) contract documents for the majority of their development work.  Every 10 years, AIA revises their contract documents.  Presently, Guide 27 includes attachments to amend AIA documents dated 1997.  Replacing the attachments to Guide 27 with new attachments will conform to AIA documents dated 2007 for the architects agreement and construction contract.

Two new attachments will be added to amend AIA contract documents for Design/Build and Construction Management/Constructor contracts.  Although the regulation allows these types of construction, the Agency has never had standardized guide documents to include Federal Government financing requirements.  Standardized guide documents will reduce staff time spent incorporating that language into contracts individually.

Remove a restrictive reference in sections 1942.9(b) and 1942.18(l) that states design/build and construction management type of construction may not be used with grant funds.  This regulatory requirement was placed in the regulations in the 1970s when the Agency had little/no experience with design/build or construction management.  With the projects that been have completed since then, it has become apparent that the type of funding--grant or direct loan--should have no bearing on the type of construction.

Add language to clarify the type of Construction Management acceptable to the Agency.  Since Construction Management was placed in the regulation in the 1970's, two types have evolved.  Construction Management/Constructor (also called "At Risk") and Construction Management/Advisor ("No Risk").  For Agency funding purposes, it is necessary that Construction Management/Constructor be used rather than Construction Management/Advisor.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency proposes to revise 7 CFR part 3550 by removing the requirement that a budget be completed as a determination of repayment ability.  However, this change will not remove the requirement that applicants show repayment ability for a loan but by removing the requirement that a budget be used, it will give the Agency greater flexibility such as the ability to utilize repayment ratios.]]></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>Section 538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program--Appraisal Requirement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Rural Development is modifying 7 CFR 3565, section 3565.303(d)(1) to eliminate the updated appraisal requirement of the project as built for properties that meet the following criteria: (1) Have a Rural Development guaranteed loan to cost ratio of 50 percent or less, and (2) have an original appraised value equal to or greater than the section 538 guaranteed loan amount.  The purpose of this change is to streamline the issuance of the permanent loan guarantee for projects that have very little risk of default.  Historical foreclosure rates of low loan to cost value properties are reported to be 0.01 percent or 1 percent (Ernst & Young, LLC, Ernst & Young Confirms Positive Returns, Multi-Family Housing News, August 2004, pg. 6).  Thus, Rural Development seeks to eliminate the undue burden of cost and time that an updated appraisal on low loan to cost value properties unnecessarily imposes on the borrower and Rural Development staff.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Direct Single-Family Housing Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

In addition, present multiple income limits (1-8 households) are cumbersome and the consolidation would simplify program regulations for our lending partners, simplify the qualification process, and allow the agency to serve applicants that are more eligible.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Animal Welfare:  Marine Mammals; Nonconsensus Language and Interactive Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Karnal Bunt Compensation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the Karnal bunt regulations to provide for the payment of compensation to certain growers, handlers, and harvesters of grain and seed affected by Karnal bunt who are not currently eligible for compensation, and for certain wheat grown outside a regulated area that was commingled with wheat grown in a newly regulated area. It would also provide for the payment of compensation to custom harvesters and owners or lessees of other equipment for losses they incur by complying with the regulations. Compensation would be made available for all crop seasons after the final rule becomes effective. This action would generalize the provisions of two interim rules that provided compensation for specific situations that arose in four newly regulated counties in Texas during the 2000-2001 crop season. The payment of compensation is necessary in order to encourage the participation of, and obtain cooperation from, affected individuals in our efforts to contain and reduce the prevalence of Karnal bunt.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Introduction of Organisms and Products Altered or Produced Through Genetic Engineering</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise the regulations regarding the importation, interstate movement, and environmental release of certain genetically engineered organisms in order to bring the regulations into alignment with provisions of the Plant Protection Act. The revisions would also update the regulations in response to advances in genetic science and technology and our accumulated experience in implementing the current regulations. This is the first comprehensive review and revision of the regulations since they were established in 1987. This rule would affect persons involved in the importation, interstate movement, or release into the environment of genetically engineered plants and certain other genetically engineered organisms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tuberculosis in Cattle; Import Requirements for Roping Steers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document will withdraw a proposed rule that we published on August 24, 2004 (69 FR 51960 to 51962, APHIS Docket No. 03-081-3). In our August 2004 proposed rule, we proposed to require 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. Instead of proposing provisions specific to cattle imported for use at rodeos, as our August 2004 proposal did, APHIS is considering broader changes to the tuberculosis regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the regulations that set out our National Environmental Policy Act implementing procedures. The proposed amendments would make clear that our decision to prepare an environmental impact statement or an environmental assessment, or to apply a categorical exclusion, is based on an action's potential effect on the human environment; make additions to the list of types of actions that qualify for a categorical exclusion because of their negligible environmental impacts; and provide for environmental assessment processes that can be used in special circumstances when action must be taken quickly. These changes are intended to improve the clarity and effectiveness of the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations regarding the importation of bovines and bovine products. Under this rulemaking, countries would be classified as either negligible risk, controlled risk, or undetermined risk for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Some commodities would be allowed importation into the United States regardless of the BSE classification of the country of export. Other commodities would be subject to importation restrictions or prohibitions based on the type of commodity and the BSE classification of the country. The criteria for country classification and commodity import would be closely aligned with those of the World Organization for Animal Health.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Lemons From Northwest Argentina</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation of lemons from northwest Argentina into the continental United States.  As a condition of entry, lemons from northwest Argentina would have to be produced in accordance with a systems approach that would include requirements for importation in commercial consignments; a limited harvest period; registration and monitoring of places of production and packinghouses; grove sanitation, monitoring, and pest control practices; treatment with a surface disinfectant; and inspection for quarantine pests by the Argentine national plant protection organization.  Lemons from northwest Argentina would also be required to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that the lemons have been inspected and found to be free of quarantine pests and were grown and packed in accordance with the proposed requirements. In addition, within the continental United States, lemons from northwest Argentina would be prohibited from importation into or distribution in the commercial citrus-producing States of Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas. We are also giving public notice of our determination that northwest Argentina is a pest-free area for citrus variegated chlorosis. This action would allow for the importation of lemons from northwest Argentina into the United States while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Scrapie in Sheep and Goats</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the scrapie regulations by changing the risk groups and categories established for individual animals and for flocks, increasing the use of genetic testing as a means of assigning risk levels to animals, reducing movement restrictions for animals found to be genetically less susceptible or resistant to scrapie, and simplifying, reducing, or removing certain recordkeeping requirements. This action would provide designated scrapie epidemiologists with more alternatives and flexibility when testing animals in order to determine flock designations under the regulations. It would change the definition of high-risk animal, which will change the types of animals eligible for indemnity, and to pay higher indemnity for certain pregnant ewes and early maturing ewes. It would also make the identification and recordkeeping requirements for goat owners consistent with those for sheep owners.  These changes would affect sheep and goat producers and State governments.]]></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>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 will amend the regulations to broaden who is authorized to break seals on means of conveyances carrying certain ruminants of Canadian origin. Additionally, it will amend 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 will amend 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 will also provide 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>

We are taking this action because regional and seasonal demand for quarantine services for horses often exceeds the space available at existing facilities. 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 action will amend the citrus canker regulations to list the entire State of Florida as a quarantined area for citrus canker and 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 will amend the user fee regulations by adjusting the fees charged for export certification of plants and plant products. We are increasing these user fees for fiscal years 2009 through 2012 to reflect the anticipated costs associated with providing these services during each year. This action adds 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 our costs associated with that service. Finally, the action will make several nonsubstantive changes to the regulations for clarity. These changes will enable us to properly recover the costs of providing export certification services for plants and plant products.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action will supplement existing prohibitions and restrictions on articles from regions that have reported the presence of exotic Newcastle disease or highly pathogenic avian influenza subtype H5N1. The new restrictions will be almost identical to those imposed on articles from regions with exotic Newcastle disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Movement of Hass Avocados From Areas Where Mexican Fruit Fly or Sapote Fruit Fly Exist</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would relieve certain restrictions regarding the movement of Hass variety avocados. Specifically, the action would amend our domestic quarantine regulations to provide for the interstate movement of Hass avocados from Mexican fruit fly and sapote fruit fly quarantined areas with a certificate if the fruit is safeguarded after harvest in accordance with specific measures. In addition, the action would amend our foreign quarantine regulations to remove trapping and bait spray treatment requirements related to Anastrepha spp. fruit flies for imported Hass avocados from Michoacan, Mexico. These actions are warranted in light of research demonstrating the limited host status of Hass avocados to various species of fruit flies in the genus Anastrepha, including Mexican fruit fly and sapote fruit fly. By amending our domestic and foreign regulations, we would make our domestic and foreign requirements for movement of Hass avocados consistent with each other and would relieve restrictions for Mexican Hass avocado producers. Finally, this action would provide an alternative means for Hass avocados to be moved interstate if the avocados originate from a Mexican fruit fly or sapote fruit fly quarantine area in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia; Interstate Movement and Import Restrictions on Certain Live Fish</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will establish regulations to restrict the interstate movement and importation into the United States of live fish that are susceptible to viral hemorrhagic septicemia, a highly contagious disease of certain fresh and saltwater fish. In 2005 and 2006, viral hemorrhagic septicemia was detected in freshwater fish in several of the Great Lakes and related tributaries. The disease has been responsible for several large-scale die-offs of wild fish in the Great Lakes region. This action is necessary to prevent further introductions into, and dissemination within, the United States of viral hemorrhagic septicemia.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Animal Welfare; Rats and Mice</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document gives notice that we intend to strengthen our enforcement of the regulations established under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) as they pertain to rats and mice. While we have regulated the humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of the majority of rats and mice covered by the AWA, we have not consistently enforced the AWA regulations and standards for domestic rats of the genus Rattus and mice of the genus Mus not bred for use in research, even though such rats and mice are covered by the AWA as a result of different allocations of APHIS limited resources. This action would ensure that all covered rats and mice are afforded the protection of the AWA. This document follows an advance notice of proposed rulemaking that solicited comments from the public on whether we should establish specific standards for rats and mice covered by the AWA or if the existing, general standards in the regulations are sufficient to ensure their humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation. In this document, we are notifying the public that we have determined that it is not necessary to establish specific standards for covered rats and mice. The existing AWA standards provide such animals with adequate protection to ensure their welfare.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will allow the importation of commercial consignments of tomatoes from the Souss-Massa region of Morocco subject to a systems approach similar to that which is already in place for tomatoes imported into the United States from other areas of Morocco. The tomatoes will have to be produced under conditions that will include requirements for pest exclusion at the production site, fruit fly trapping inside the production site, and pest-exclusionary packinghouse procedures. The tomatoes will also be required to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Moroccan national plant protection organization with an additional declaration stating that the tomatoes have been grown in registered greenhouses in the Souss-Massa region and were 60 percent or less pink at the time of packing. This action will allow for the importation of commercial consignments of tomatoes from the Souss-Massa region of Morocco into the United States while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Grapes From Chile Under a Systems Approach</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow fresh table grapes from Chile to be imported into the continental United States under a systems approach. Currently, as a condition of entry, all table grapes from Chile must be fumigated with methyl bromide as a risk-mitigation measure for Brevipalpus chilensis. Under this proposal, we would allow a combination of risk-mitigation measures, or systems approach, to be employed in lieu of methyl bromide fumigation. The systems approach would provide an alternative to methyl bromide while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests into the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Animal Identification System; Use of 840 Animal Identification Numbers for U.S.-Born Animals Only</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the regulations concerning the interstate movement of animals to limit the use of the animal identification number (AIN) with the 840 prefix to animals born in the United States. In addition, the rule will extend the restrictions on the removal of official identification devices to include devices applied to imported animals in their countries of origin. It also requires that if such a device is lost following importation into the United States, the animal may only be retagged with an official identification device using a numbering system other than an AIN beginning with an 840 prefix. These requirements are necessary to enhance our traceback capabilities for both domestic and imported animals in the event of a disease outbreak.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will establish regulations that designate the State of Florida and one parish in Louisiana as quarantined areas for citrus greening, and Alabama, Florida, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, 3 counties in South Carolina, and portions of 2 counties in California as quarantined areas for Asian citrus psyllid, a vector of a bacterium that causes citrus greening. It would also establish restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from the quarantined areas, as well as treatments under which Asian citrus psyllid host material may be moved interstate from a quarantined area. These actions follow the discovery of citrus greening and/or Asian citrus psyllid in the quarantined areas, and are necessary in order to prevent the spread of the disease and its vector to noninfested areas of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 animals. The regulations currently contain such requirements for dogs and cats, but no corresponding ones for other regulated 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 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>

        <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 rule would replace 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 rulemaking 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>Recordkeeping for Approved Livestock Facilities and Slaughtering and Rendering Establishments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations regarding the interstate movement of livestock to require approved livestock facilities and listed slaughtering and rendering establishments to maintain certain records for 5 years. Currently, approved livestock facilities are required to retain certain records for 2 years, and there are no record retention provisions that apply to listed slaughtering and rendering establishments. Requiring the retention of certain records for 5 years would allow us to trace the prior movements of diseased livestock further into the past than is currently possible, thus providing the opportunity to locate potentially infected or exposed livestock that might otherwise remain unidentified. The rule would also require the operators of slaughtering and rendering establishments to sign listing agreements to document their agreement to comply with the requirements of the regulations for listed slaughtering and rendering establishments. Such agreements are currently required for approved livestock facilities but not for slaughtering and rendering facilities. The proposed change would eliminate that inconsistency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the regulations regarding the importation of cattle from Mexico by adding San Luis, AZ, as a port through which cattle that have been infested with fever ticks or exposed to fever ticks or tick-borne diseases may be imported into the United States. A new facility for the handling of animals is to be constructed on the Mexican side of the border at the port of San Luis, AZ, that will be equipped with facilities necessary for the proper chute inspection, dipping, and testing that are required for such cattle under the regulations. The rule will also amend the regulations to remove provisions that limit the admission of cattle that have been infested with fever ticks or exposed to fever ticks or tick-borne diseases to the State of Texas. The statutory requirement that limited the admission of those cattle to the State of Texas has been repealed. These changes make an additional port of entry available and relieve restrictions on the movement of imported Mexican cattle within the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tuberculosis; Require Approved Herd Plans Prior To Payment of Indemnity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations regarding the payment of indemnity for animals destroyed because of bovine tuberculosis to provide that an approved herd plan must be in place prior to the payment of indemnity, and to provide that 10 percent of the gross indemnity payment be withheld by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service until the conditions of an approved herd plan have been implemented. It would also amend the regulations to deny any payments of Federal indemnity for a herd whose owner has failed to follow the provisions of an approved herd plan, or has violated the conditions of an approved herd plan. We believe these proposed changes would further tuberculosis eradication efforts in the United States and protect livestock not affected with tuberculosis from the disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Animal Welfare Act regulations to add requirements for contingency planning and training of personnel by research facilities and by dealers, exhibitors, intermediate handlers, and carriers. We are proposing these requirements because we believe all licensees and registrants should develop a contingency plan for all animals regulated under the Animal Welfare Act in an effort to better prepare for potential disasters. This action would heighten the awareness of licensees and registrants regarding their responsibilities and help ensure a timely and appropriate response should an emergency or disaster occur.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Official Animal Identification Numbering Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the domestic livestock regulations to phase out use of animal identification numbers beginning with a prefix other than 840 as official for use on eartags as of a specific date. In addition, the rule would phase out use of premises identification numbers that do not use the seven-character alphanumeric code format. It would also set a date for requiring all official eartags to bear the U.S. shield. These changes are intended to achieve greater standardization and uniformity of official numbering systems and eartags used in the National Animal Identification System and in animal disease programs and to enhance animal traceability.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the bovine tuberculosis regulations by removing from incorporation by reference the Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication Uniform Methods and Rules, 1999, and including in 9 CFR part 77 all Federal requirements. We are also proposing a number of substantive changes to the requirements in order to enhance our bovine tuberculosis eradication efforts. The proposed changes include, but are not limited to, tightening certain tuberculosis surveillance and reporting requirements; strengthening the quarantine and quarantine-release requirements; setting minimum testing ages, depending upon the status of the State or zone of origin and/or the purpose of movement, when testing is required for interstate movement of cattle and bison; adding new requirements to prevent the spread of tuberculosis from wildlife to cattle and bison; adding new requirements for interstate movement of dairy cattle; strengthening the requirements for individual cattle and bison that are to be added to accredited herds; and providing for the interstate movement of commuter herds. Finally, we would reorganize 9 CFR part 77 to make the regulations clearer and easier to use.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Citrus Canker; Interstate Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock From Quarantined Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the citrus canker quarantine regulations to explicitly prohibit, with limited exceptions, the interstate movement of regulated nursery stock from a quarantined area and remove calamondin plants from a protocol allowing the limited interstate movement of calamondin and kumquat plants. We decided to provide for the interstate movement of calamondin and kumquat plants based on their apparent resistance to citrus canker. However, we have since discovered calamondin plants affected with citrus canker. This action is necessary to clarify our regulations and to address the risk associated with the interstate movement of regulated nursery stock from areas quarantined for citrus canker.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations concerning user fees for import- and export-related services that we provide for animals, animal products, birds, germplasm, organisms, and vectors. We are proposing increases in those fees for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 in order to ensure that the fees accurately reflect the anticipated costs of providing these services each year. By publishing the annual user fee changes in advance, users can incorporate the fees into their budget planning. The user fees pay for the actual cost of providing these services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Regulations for the Movement of Fruits and Vegetables From Hawaii and U.S. Territories Into the Continental United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will revise and reorganize the regulations pertaining to the interstate movement of fruits and vegetables from Hawaii and the territories to consolidate requirements of general applicability and eliminate redundant requirements, update terms and remove outdated requirements and references, and make various editorial and nonsubstantive changes to the regulations to make them easier to use. It will also make substantive changes to the regulations including establishing criteria within the regulations that, if met, will allow us to approve certain new fruits and vegetables for interstate movement in the United States and to acknowledge pest-free areas in Hawaii and U.S. territories expeditiously, and remove the listing in the regulations of some specific commodities as regulated articles. These changes are intended to simplify and expedite our processes for approving certain regulated articles for interstate movement and acknowledging pest-free areas while continuing to allow for public participation in the processes. This final rule does not allow for the interstate movement of any specific new fruits or vegetables, nor does it alter the conditions for interstate movement of currently approved fruits or vegetables. These changes will make our domestic interstate movement regulations more consistent with our fruits and vegetables import regulations. The changes in this final rule will not alter the manner in which the risk associated with a regulated article interstate movement request is evaluated, nor will they alter the manner in which those risks are ultimately mitigated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation into the continental United States of baby squash and baby courgettes from Zambia. As a condition of entry, both commodities will have to be produced in accordance with a systems approach that will include requirements for pest exclusion at the production site, fruit fly trapping inside and outside the production site, and pest-excluding packinghouse procedures. Both commodities will also be required to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that the baby squash or baby courgettes have been produced in accordance with the proposed requirements. This action will allow for the importation of baby squash and baby courgettes from Zambia into the United States while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Citrus Canker; Movement of Fruit From a Quarantined Area; Bag Markings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations governing the interstate movement of fruit from an area quarantined for citrus canker to extend the temporary exception that allows fruit to be packed for interstate movement in bags that are clearly marked with only a limited distribution statement, if those bags are then packed in a box that is marked with both the limited distribution statement and the statement "Limited Permit: USDA-APHIS-PPQ." We are extending the ending date for this temporary exemption from August 1, 2008, to August 1, 2010. This action provides for the continued use of existing inventories of bags in which regulated fruit are packed while maintaining safeguards against the movement of regulated fruit to commercial citrus-producing States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation, under certain conditions, of sweet oranges and grapefruit from Chile into the continental United States. Based on the evidence in a recent pest risk analysis, we believe these articles can be safely imported from all provinces of Chile, provided certain conditions are met. This action would provide for the importation of sweet oranges and grapefruit from Chile into the continental United States while continuing to protect the United States against the introduction of plant pests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Livestock, Poultry, and Feed Weighing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA is proposing to amend an existing weighing regulation under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921 concerning Purchases, Sales, Acquisitions, Payments and Settlements to be Made on Actual Weights.  The proposed amendment to the current regulation would clarify that actual weight must be used for weighing livestock and poultry for purchases, sales, acquisitions, payments, and settlements.  The proposed amendment would remove references to specific types of regulated entities and thus clarify that the regulation applies to types of transactions regardless of what type of party is performing the transaction.  The current regulation requires that any adjustments to the actual weight of livestock and live poultry must be full and accurately explained.  The proposed amendment would extend that requirement to adjustments to the weight of unused feed.  We propose removing current language allowing for the use of "reasonably determined" estimated weight rather than actual weight.  This would make this regulation consistent with other regulations issued under the P&S Act, which do not allow "reasonably determined" weight.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Swine Contract Library</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 11, 2003, GIPSA implemented new Subtitle B of Title II of the Packers and Stockyards Act which was added by the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999 by establishing the Swine contract Library.  The statutory authority for the library 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.  This proposed rulemaking is necessary to re-establish the regulatory authority for the library's continued operation and incorporate certain changes contained within the Reauthorization Act that impact the Swine Contract Library, as well as make other changes to enhance the library's overall effectiveness and efficiency in response to input from regulated entities and the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA is amending four existing scales and weighing regulations issued under the Packers and Stockyards Act to ensure that payments by live poultry and swine production contract growers are based on accurate weighing of both inputs and outputs.  We propose to amend a regulation on scale tickets to reduce redundant wording and clarify weighing procedures.  We propose to amend a regulation on reweighing to add swine contractors to the list of firms that must comply and to add feed to the list of items for which reweighing may be requested.  We propose to amend two regulations on weighing livestock and poultry to add weighing processes for feed, to add a specific time limit for weighing poultry, and to add swine contractors to the list of firms that must comply with care and promptness requirements.]]></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>

        <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 "Standards for Condition of Food Containers" (7 CFR part 42).  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>

        <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 products.  Since implementation of the NOP, some members of the public have advocated for amending the regulations for sourcing dairy replacement animals.  They have asserted that the current regulatory language on sourcing dairy replacement animals lacks clarity, has established an inequitable two track system, and has harmed organic dairy producers by creating an environment that has prevented the development of a market for organic dairy replacement animals. They seek amendment to the regulations to require that once a dairy operation has converted to organic production all future animals be organic from the last third of gestation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Seed Act Amendments (LS-07-14)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service routinely reviews it regulations to ensure that they are current and meet the needs of the program being administered.  The latest review of the Federal Seed Act regulations identified a number of changes that are needed to bring the regulations up to date, to prevent conflicts with State regulations, and to continue to protect farmers and consumers of seed, as well as companies that purchase seed for resale.  In addition, these changes will continue to help maintain a level playing field for all companies that ship seed in interstate commerce.  In addition, the Agency is proposing to designate seeds of additional species, recently added to the Federal Noxious Weed Act, as noxious when present in interstate seed shipments; change seed testing regulations for certain grass kinds to reflect current industry testing procedures; update the regulations pertaining to labeling chemically treated seed to include current Environmental Protection Agency terminology; clarify the use of variety and brand names; add a requirement to label the percentage of dormant seed; remove an exemption from labeling the percentage germination for two kinds of seed; make changes to the seed certification standards and procedure to reflect current seed certification practices; and made corrective changes to punctuation and other minor errors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>U.S. Honey Producer Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Order</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Honey Producer Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Order would be implemented under the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 1996.  The purpose of the new program would be to increase consumption of U.S. produced honey. This proposed new program will assist the U.S. honey industry to develop and finance an effective and coordinated program to strengthen the position of the U.S. honey industry; and maintain, develop, and expand existing markets for U.S. honey.

In the past few decades, U.S. commercial bee keepers have seen a worrisome and dramatic decline in the population of U.S. honey bees. According to a report released in 2006 by the National Research Council, the population of American honey bees has plunged by 30 percent in 20 years and so therefore production has also declined substantially.  It is the hope of the U.S. honey industry that a Research and Promotion Program will help increase consumption of U.S. honey.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cotton Crop Classification Services (CN-07-003 B)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Smith-Doxey Amendment of 1937 to the Cotton Statistics Estimates Act of 1927 provided authority for the USDA to perform cotton classification and market news services to producers at no cost. The statutory authority for the delivery of classing services and collection of applicable fees will lapse on September 30, 2007.  This rulemaking is necessary to re-establish the regulatory authority for the program's continued operation and incorporate the current fee structure for the 2007 crop year which was published in the Federal Register June 1, 2007 [72 FR 30457], under the authority of the Cotton Standards Act of 1923.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending regulations pertaining to the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances.  As required by the National Organic Foods Production Act of 1990, the allowed use of the 12 synthetic and non-synthetic substances in organic production and handling will expire on September 12, 2001.  The AMS published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to make the public aware of this requirement.  AMS believes that public comment is essential in the review process to determine whether these substances should continue to be allowed or prohibited in the production and handling of organic agricultural products.]]></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. L. 107-206) amended the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (Act) (7 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.) to require retailers to notify their customers of the country of origin of covered commodities beginning September 30, 2004.  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.  The FY 2006 Agriculture Appropriations Bill further delayed the implementation date for other covered commodities until September 30, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>On August 1, 2008, the Agricultural Marketing Service published an interim final rule implementing regulations pertaining to Country of Origin and Labeling as directed in The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill); however, the 2008 Farm Bill contained a number of provisions that amends the regulations.  These changes included the addition of chicken, goat, macadamia nuts, pecans, and ginseng as covered commodities, the addition of provisions for labeling products of multiple origin, as well as a number of other changes. The effective date imposed in the 2002 Farm Bill did not change.  So in order to meet the September 30, 2008, implementation date, AMS published interim final rule with request for comments to allow newly affected industries the opportunity to comment prior to issuance of final rule.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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. FSIS has concluded that another round of preliminary comments could help resolve the issues surrounding "natural."  Therefore, the Agency is publishing this ANPRM to solicit more focused comments on the issue.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will continue an effort initiated several years ago by amending FSIS' regulations to expand the types of labeling that are generically approved. FSIS plans to propose that the submission of labeling for approval prior to use be limited to certain types of labeling, as specified in the regulations. In addition, FSIS plans to reorganize and amend the regulations by consolidating the nutrition labeling rules that currently are stated separately for 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>

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>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 regulatory jurisdiction over nine products or product categories. Historically there has been confusion about 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 percent meat or poultry; breads, rolls and buns prepared with less than 50 percent meat or poultry; dried poultry soup mixes; flavor bases and flavors; pizza with meat or poultry; and salad dressings prepared with less than 50 percent 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>New 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246, sec. 11016), known as the 2008 Farm Bill, amended the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) to make catfish an amenable species under the FMIA. Amenable species must be inspected, so this rule will define inspection requirements for catfish.  The regulations will define catfish and the scope of coverage of the regulations to apply to establishments that process farm-raised species of catfish and to catfish and catfish products. The regulations will take into account the conditions under which the catfish are raised and transported to a processing establishment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal-State Interstate Shipment Cooperative Inspection Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing regulations to implement a new voluntary Federal-State cooperative inspection program under which State-inspected establishments with 25 or fewer employees would be eligible to ship meat and poultry products in interstate commerce. State-inspected establishments selected to participate in this program would be required to comply with all Federal standards under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA). These establishments would receive inspection services from State inspection personnel that have been trained and certified to assist with enforcement of the FMIA and PPIA. Meat and poultry products produced under the program that have been inspected and passed by selected State-inspection personnel would bear a Federal mark of inspection.  FSIS is proposing these regulations in response to the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act, enacted on June 18, 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill).  Section 11015 of 2008 Farm Bill provides for the interstate shipment of State-inspected meat and poultry product from selected establishments and requires that FSIS promulgate implementing regulations no later than 18 months from the date of its enactment]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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>

        <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>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[FSIS is proposing to amend its regulations to add a new part that prescribes procedures for the submission, consideration, and disposition of petitions for rulemaking.  The proposal also describes the Agency's expectations for the type of documentation that should be submitted in support of a petition and that will facilitate regulatory development.  FSIS is proposing this action to provide clear guidance to those who would like to participate in the rulemaking process by petitioning FSIS to issue, amend, or repeal a rule administered by the Agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definitions and Procedures for Determining the Net Weight Compliance of Meat and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations in order that they reference the most recent version of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 133 that contains standards for determining the reasonable variations allowed for the declared net weight on labels of immediate containers of meat and poultry products; the procedures to be used to determine the net weight and net weight compliance of meat and poultry products; and related definitions.  The Agency has also proposed to consolidate the separate net weight regulations for meat and poultry products in a new CFR part, applicable to both meat and poultry products.  The final rule is consistent with the proposed rule.  However, the final rule does not incorporate the "wet tare" method for determining net weight, because the Agency regards any solutions added to meat and poultry as part of the product, and therefore, uses the "dry tare" method for determining compliance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for the Disposition of Cattle that Become Non-Ambulatory Disabled Following Ante-Mortem Inspection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to remove the provision in 309.3(e) that allows FSIS inspection personnel to determine the disposition of cattle that become non-ambulatory disabled after they have passed ante-mortem inspection on a case-by-case basis.  If FSIS finalizes this proposed rule, cattle that become non-ambulatory disabled from an acute injury after ante-mortem inspection will no longer be eligible to proceed to slaughter as "U.S. Suspects."  Instead, FSIS inspectors will tag these cattle as "U.S. condemned" and prohibit these animals from proceeding to slaughter.]]></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, 162,000 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 ensure that donated foods can be tracked in the event of a food recall. 
	Retain FNS authority to require the distributing agency to re-evaluate 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Simplified Cost Accounting and Other Actions To Reduce Paperwork in the Summer Food Service Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 738 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, (Pub. L. 110-161), extends simplified cost accounting procedures to Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sponsors in all States.  Beginning on January 1, 2008, sponsors receive the maximum rates of reimbursement for the eligible meals they serve.  The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) proposes to amend 7 CFR part 225 to eliminate the program assistance requirements that no longer apply and to implement a number of other actions that would further streamline SFSP administration.  

This rulemaking proposes to:  (1) Eliminate the cost comparison requirements for determining payments to Summer Food Service Program sponsors; (2) update the threshold for small purchases in SFSP to align with the threshold set forth in 7 CFR parts 3016 and 3019; (3) allow State agencies to conduct compliance reviews of schools participating in both the NSLP and SFSP at the same frequency; and (4) clarify that sponsors must have administrative oversight at approved meal service sites.

These proposed actions would reduce paperwork and improve efficiency while ensuring high quality administrative oversight and meal service.  FNS expects comments from the public, especially recommendations from State agencies and sponsors that already have operational experience participating under simplified cost accounting procedures.  However, since these proposed procedures constitute a significant reduction in administrative workload and paperwork burden, FNS does not anticipate that the comments will be negative in nature.  The estimated costs of additional meals through implementation of this rule range from $5.8 million in fiscal year 2009 to $6.9 million in 2012. (08-004)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations: Administrative Funding Allocation Methodology</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would solicit public comment on a proposal by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to create a more rational and equitable method for allocating administrative funds for the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) across FNS Regional Offices.  The rulemaking would also propose minor changes to regulations at 7 CFR 253.11, as appropriate, to conform to the proposed funding methodology.

It would not impact the total amount of FDPIR administrative funds appropriated, nor would it impose any additional paperwork burdens or restrictions on the Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) and State agencies (SAs) that administer FDPIR.  The FNS Regional Offices would allocate available funds to the ITOs and SAs in much the same manner as under the previous funding methodology. (08-001)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of Major Changes in Program Design and Management Evaluation Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) proposes to amend 7 CFR 275 to codify section 4116 of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008.  This section, Review of Major Changes in Program Design, requires the Secretary to develop standards for identifying major changes in the operations of a State agency that affect certain vulnerable populations.  The statute provides that if a State agency implements a major change in operations, it must notify the Secretary and collect information that would identify and correct any adverse effects on program integrity or access.  This regulation would implement the statutory provision by defining a major change in program design and identifying the standards that would trigger a State's requirement to notify FNS of these changes and the data that the State would be required to provide.

In addition, FNS proposes discretionary changes to 7 CFR 275 to update management evaluation systems regulations.  The regulation would propose streamlining the reviews FNS must conduct and revising the requirements upon State agencies to recognize the changes in project areas' sizes.  This would provide FNS and State agencies flexibility to better target scarce resources rather than performing unnecessary reviews. (08-005)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Eligibility, Certification, and Employment and Training Provisions of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend the regulations governing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to implement 12 provisions from the Food, Conservation and Energy Act (FCEA) of 2008 (Public Law 110-246).  Ten provisions from the FCEA concern the eligibility and certification of SNAP applicants and participants, and 2 FCEA provisions concern the SNAP employment and training program (E&T).  In addition, this proposed rule would revise the SNAP regulations throughout 7 CFR 273 to change the program name from the Food Stamp Program to SNAP and to make other nomenclature changes in part 273 as mandated by the FCEA.  Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has provided written guidance to SNAP State agencies on implementing these provisions, which are effective on October 1, 2008.

FNS estimates that if implemented, the impact on the United States economy from the provisions in this rulemaking would exceed $100 million annually.  For this reason, FNS recommends that the rule be designated economically significant and major under the provisions of Public Law 104-121.  FNS anticipates that this rule would impact the associated paperwork burdens. (08-006)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program:  Farm Bill of 2008 Retailer Sanctions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would implement provisions under Section 4132 of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, also referred to as the Farm Bill of 2008.  Under Section 4132, the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is provided with greater authority and flexibility when sanctioning retail or wholesale food stores that violate Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) rules.  Specifically, the Department is authorized to assess a civil penalty and to disqualify a retail or wholesale food store authorized to participate in SNAP.  Previously, the Department could assess a civil penalty or disqualification, but not both.  Section 4132 also eliminates the minimum disqualification period which was previously set at six months.

In addition to implementing statutory provisions, this rule proposes to provide a clear administrative penalty when an authorized retailer or wholesale food store redeems a SNAP participant's Program benefits without the knowledge of the participant.  All Program benefits are issued through the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system.  The EBT system establishes data that may be used to identify fraud committed by retail food stores.  While stealing Program benefits could be prosecuted under current statute, Program regulations do not provide a clear penalty for these thefts.  The proposed rule would establish an administrative penalty for such thefts equivalent to the penalty for trafficking in Program benefits, which is the permanent disqualification of a retailer or wholesale food store from SNAP participation.

Finally, the Department proposes to identify additional administrative retail violations and the associated sanction that would be imposed against the retail food store for committing the violation.  For instance, to maintain integrity, FNS requires retail and wholesale food stores to key enter EBT card data in the presence of the actual EBT card.  The proposed rule would codify this requirement and identify the specific sanction that would be imposed if retail food stores are found to be in violation. (08-007)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) regulations. The changes in this rule result from the findings of State and Federal program reviews and from audits and investigations conducted by the Office of Inspector General. This rule revises: State agency criteria for approving and renewing institution applications; program training and other operating requirements for child care institutions and facilities; and State and institution-level monitoring requirements. This rule also includes changes that are required by the Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-448), the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), and the William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-336). 

The changes are designed to improve program operations and monitoring at the State and institution levels and, where possible, to streamline and simplify program requirements for State agencies and institutions. (95-024)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

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

        <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 eight 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, Oregon, and West Virginia) 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 eight 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 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 section that will be updated and reorganized by the rule is 7 CFR part 274.  (04-004)]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 amended to establish categorical (automatic) eligibility for free meals and free milk upon documentation that a child is (1) homeless as defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act; (2) a runaway served by grant programs under the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act; or (3) migratory as defined in section 1309(2) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.  The rule also requires phase-in of mandatory direct certification for children who are members of households receiving food stamps and continues discretionary direct certification for other categorically eligible children.

        <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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule implements the nondiscretionary WIC provisions in the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-265).  It contains provisions that address the following aspects of WIC Program administration and operation:

1.	Expansion of definitions of nutrition education and supplemental foods
2.	Infant formula rebate contracts
        -- 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>

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, its ability to conduct Food Stamp Program business will be immediately suspended.

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 108-265 amended the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to prohibit schools from directly or indirectly restricting the sale or marketing of fluid milk products on school premises or at school sponsored events at any time or any place.  This amendment was in response to procurement contracts that limited the types of products that schools could sell outside of the reimbursable meal programs.  This rule finalizes the incorporation of that requirement into the regulations governing the National School Lunch Program.   (04-015)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FSP: Revisions to Bonding Requirements for Violating Retail and Wholesale Food Concerns</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final 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 final 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 5 years 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 final 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>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 (Pub. L. 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>

The proposed regulation will be consistent with the Access to Non-Federal Lands regulations at 36 CFR subpart D. The proposed rule making is also intended to fulfill the mandate set forth by section 2508 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, Public Law 102-486, 106 Stat. 3108-3109, which has been codified at 30 U.S.C. 226(o), concerning private oil and gas development on the Allegheny National Forest. Section 2508 requires 60-day prior notification and clarifies content requirements of the notification. The Forest Service invites public comment as it prepares for this rule making.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 acknowledgment 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, 222, 228, 241, 251, 254, and 292.  In addition, the proposed rule would move the provision about mediation of term grazing permit disputes to 36 CFR 222.  Their provisions, 36 CFR 252.103, are more appropriately placed at 36 CFR 222, which deals with Forest Service range management.]]></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>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>Linear Right-of-Way Rental Payment Schedule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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.  The BLM published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on April 27, 2006 (71 FR 24836) and notice of proposed rule on December 11, 2007 (72 FR 237).

The Forest Service (FS) in adopting the BLM final fee schedule will modify policy  to be consistent with BLM. 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.]]></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>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 were 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, improving or replacing existing facilities, and minor construction within the permitted area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Areas; State Specific Inventoried Roadless Area Management: Virginia</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service Directive System codifies the agency's policy, practice, and procedure.  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>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 2008 NFMA planning regulations, and Department and Agency policies for protecting water resources from point sources of pollution.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Habitat Planning and Evaluation, Bighorn 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>

        <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>

        <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>Forest Service Manual 2020--Ecological Restoration and Resilience Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Justification for an Interim Directive:  
Restoration is a common way of describing much of the agencys work and the concept is threaded throughout existing program directives and collaborative efforts such as the National Fire Plan 10-Year Comprehensive Strategy and Implementation Plan. Examples of national efforts already initiated, and that are dependent upon or would greatly benefit from availability of this policy, include: 1) Development of a policy for large-scale event recovery (LaSER) to assist restoration efforts after events such as Hurricane Katrina; 2) implementation of the Woody Biomass Utilization Strategy; and 3) development of new legislation, such as the Forest Landscape Restoration Act of 2008. The restoration policy will allow agency employees and partners to more effectively communicate Forest Service work in meeting restoration needs at the local, regional, and national levels.

By issuing an interim directive, the Agency is addressing the immediate need for policy while affording an opportunity for public review and comment. The Agency will review comments on the interim directive and incorporate these comments in a final directive.

Purpose of and Need for Directive

Ecosystem restoration is an overarching and unifying policy objective for various agency programs. Ranger districts and forest supervisors offices are leading agency efforts at integrated, landscape-scale approaches for addressing restoration needs. These units are applying the authorities and resources of multiple programs to achieve multiple benefits. The directive will better align national policy with efforts in the field.

Restoration objectives span a number of initiatives in various program areas, including the invasive species strategy, recovery of areas affected by high-severity fires, hurricanes, and other catastrophic disturbances; fish habitat restoration and remediation; riparian area restoration; conservation of threatened and endangered species; and restoration of impaired watersheds and large-scale watershed restoration projects. This directive, articulating national policy, is needed to unite these various program-specific initiatives.

Obstacles to restoration are widespread. For example, the 2004 National Integrated Fuels and Restoration Review reported the following key findings:
	Differing interpretations of restoration have led to confusion over agency objectives;
	Agency expectations for an integrated program are not clearly articulated;
	A focus on meeting individual, program-specific targets is overriding the need to accomplish more effective and better-integrated treatments.
	Program planning and budgeting processes are insufficient to evaluate priorities, trade-offs and impacts on other programs.
	An integrated multi-resource approach to landscape- and project-level planning is not occurring everywhere.

The directive defines the term restoration, which has been used widely by the agency beginning with the National Fire Plan Cohesive Strategy adopted in 2001.  The directive accentuates that all resource management programs have a responsibility for ecological restoration. Moreover, the directive underscores the value of integrating program planning and budgeting as well as resource management projects to achieve complementary or synergistic results contributing to ecological restoration.

Public controversy is not anticipated regarding this directive. The subjects of this directive are ecological restoration and resilience. These terms have been used in the National Fire Plan Cohesive Strategy and 10-Year Comprehensive Strategy and Implementation Plan; by Congress in existing laws and pending legislation; in the Forest Service Strategic Plan for 2007-2012; and in the Chiefs speeches, published articles, and in her testimony before the Senate Energy and Natural Resource Committee in support of the Forest Landscape Restoration Act of 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pest and Disease Revolving Loan Fund</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Description of Proposed Action: Proposed rule making for the Pest and Disease Revolving Loan Fund, authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill. Targeted for public comment in the 2nd quarter of FY09. 
This new program provides low interest loans to local governments for equipment and contracts to aid in combating invasive species outbreaks. The Loans may fund monitoring, removal, and disposal of infested trees. Authorizes appropriations of such sums as are necessary.

New program authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill (Pub. L. 110-234), section 10205.

The Forest Service has a long-standing and legislatively mandated relationship with State forestry agencies for delivery of Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 (CFAA) programs (such as the Forest Stewardship Program, Urban and Community Forestry Program, and the Forest Legacy Program). In contrast, the Pest and Disease Revolving Loan Fund would be available directly to local governments. 

A revolving loan fund for acquisition of equipment for removing dead and damaged trees requires detailed documentation and complex procedures. The Forest Service does not have significant experience in managing a revolving loan fund. This will require a high level of accountability from grantees to protect the Federal investment in purchasing equipment to combat invasive species outbreaks in community trees.

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Description of Proposed Action: Proposed rule making for the Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program, authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill. Targeted for public comment in the 2nd quarter of FY09. 

The Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program amends the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act (CFAA) by inserting after section 7 (Forest Legacy) section 7a.  This program will provide federal matching grants to help local government, tribes, or NGOs acquire private forests that are threatened by conversion to non-forest uses.  Properties acquired are working forests open to hunting and fishing. Authorizes appropriations of such sums as are necessary.

New program authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill (Pub. L. 110-234), section 8003.

The acquisition of parcels for the creation of community forests requires detailed documentation and complex procedures. While the Forest Service has experience working with States on similar activities through the Forest Legacy Program, this new program will require the Forest Service to provide grants directly to tribes, local governments, and non-profit organizations. This will require a high level of accountability from grantees to protect the Federal investment in purchasing community forests.

The loss of open space was identified by the Chief of the Forest Service as one of four threats to our Nations forests and grasslands and Conserve Open Space is the third goal in the Forest Service 2007-2012 Strategic Plan. The recently released Forest Service Open Space Conservation Strategy outlines agency actions to conserve open space. This program is also similar to the USDA Farm Bill proposal Community Forests Working Lands Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Description of Proposed Action: Develop proposed rule to implement the 2008 Farm Bill section 8105 Forest Products for Traditional and Cultural Purposes.

Justification for Proposed Action: Section 8105 provides free use of forest products for Native Americans for Traditional and Cultural Purposes.  The implementation of this free use needs to be included in a revision of the present free use regulations.

The Forest Service has existing regulations (36 CFR 223.5 through 36 CFR 223.11) for the free use of forest products from National Forest System lands. Therefore, the implementation of this expanded authority for free use needs to be included in a revision of the present free use regulations.

Subtitle B of the Farm Bill Forestry Title Cultural and Heritage Cooperation Authority is consistent with previous legislative proposals supported by the Forest Service and USDA.]]></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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Predator Damage Management (Forest Service Manual, Chapter 2320)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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>

        <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>

        <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[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 and special recomputations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 2008 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>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.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed action is to revise two separate but related rules by providing notice of the proposed rules and request for comments.  36 CFR 223.49 would be revised to correct problems with procedures for releasing down payments associated with a drastic reduction in wood product prices.  The public will also be asked to comment on an alternative procedure for use and release of down payments proposed by the timber industry.  36 CFR 223.49 and 223.50 would be revised to remove the requirement for a down payment and periodic payments on stewardship contracts.  Seek public comment on these proposed amendments prior to issuing final rules.

Justification for Proposed Action:  The drastic reduction in wood product prices that is currently ongoing has revealed problems with the down payment procedures that were not evident when forest product markets were stronger.  Under the current regulations a purchaser must pay for, cut and remove timber equal in value to 10% of the total advertised value plus 20 percent of the bid premium.  On some stumpage rate adjusted sales prices de-escalated so much that most, and in some cases all, of the included timber was cut and paid for without triggering the release of the down payment.  To avert this problem industry has proposed tying release of the down payment to volume rather than value.  But, that method can result in the government not being adequately protected in sharply rising markets or in unit rate sales including combinations of very high and very low value species.  A procedure that uses both value and volume components for triggering release of the down payment would be a more equitable approach.  Industry has also proposed treating the down payment like periodic payments where the cash deposited can be used to pay for timber as it is cut.  This would help their cash flow while still providing the economic incentive the regulation intended to encourage purchasers to harvest the timber sooner rather than later.

Additionally, because stewardship contracting procedures negate the need for down payments and periodic payments the 36 CFR 223.49 and 223.50 regulations need to be revised to exclude stewardship contracts from those requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Changes to Lands, Special Uses Regulations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[1) Description of Proposed Action:  The Agency is proposing to provide direction on issuance of a recreation residence permit to a living trust in Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2720.  Currently, this direction is enumerated in a 1995 policy letter.  Consistent with this policy revision, the Agency is proposing to modify the definition of applicant in 36 CFR 251.51 to include any entity, not just a business or governmental entity, so that the term applicant can include a living trust.  The proposed revision of 36 CFR 251.51 would read:

Applicant any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other entity, or Federal, State, or other governmental entity that applies for a special use authorization."

Justification for the Proposed Action:  Since holder is defined in the special use regulations as any applicant who has received a special use authorization, if the definition of applicant is broadened to include a living trust, a living trust can then be a holder of a recreation residence special use authorization under the regulations.  

2) Description of Proposed Action:  The Agency is proposing to remove an outdated requirement in 36 CFR 251.54(f)(1)(ii).  Without the obsolete requirement, 36 CFR 251.54(f)(1)(ii) would read:

"The authorized officer shall notify the House Committee on Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources promptly upon receipt of a proposal for a right-of-way for a pipeline 24 inches or more in diameter, together with the authorized officers. . . ."

Justification for the Proposed Action:  In 1990, the President signed Public Law 101-475, which amended section 28(w)(2) of the Mineral Leasing Act (ML) (30 U.S.C. 185(w)(2)) to remove the requirement to wait 60 days after notifying Congress before granting a pipeline right-of-way when the pipeline is 24 inches or more in diameter.  Accordingly, the implementing regulations would be revised to remove the 60-day waiting period.  

3) Description of the Proposed Action:  The Agency is proposing to insert the word permits, which was inadvertently omitted, in the first sentence of 36 CFR 251.53(e).  As amended, 36 CFR 251.53(e) would read:  

Permits or easements for a right-of-way for a pipeline for the transportation of oil, gas, or oil or gas products, where no Federal land besides National Forest System lands is required. . . . 

Justification for the Proposed Action:  Direction in FSM 2701.1, paragraph 4, and 2710.11a, paragraph 4, and Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 2709.11, section 19, exhibit 03, uses the term permit to refer to a special use authorization for a pipeline issued under the MLA.  Additionally, the MLA (30 U.S.C. 185) uses the term right-of-way or permit throughout.  It has always been the Agencys practice to issue a permit or an easement for an MLA pipeline.  Consistent with statutory law and policy, 36 CFR 251.53(e) would be updated to include the word permit.
  
4) Description of the Proposal:  As with the third proposal, the Agency is proposing to insert a permit or or permits or in front of "an easement" or "easements" in 36 CFR 251.60(a)(2)(i), (a)(2)(ii), and (g).  The revised sections would read:
	
Section 251.60  Termination, revocation, and suspension.
(a) Grounds for termination, revocation, and suspension*   *   *
(2) All other special uses.  (i) Revocation or suspension.  An authorized officer may revoke or suspend a special use authorization for all other special uses, except a permit or an easement issued pursuant to section 251.53(e) and (l) of this subpart:
*     *     *     *     *
(ii) Administrative review.  Except for revocation or suspension of a permit or an easement issued pursuant to section 251.53(e) and (l) of this subpart, suspension or revocation of a special use authorization under this paragraph is subject to administrative appeal in accordance with 36 CFR part 251, subpart C.
*     *     *     *     *
(g) The authorized officer may suspend or revoke a permit or an easement issued pursuant to section 251.53(e) and (l) of this subpart pursuant to formal adjudicatory administrative proceedings instituted by the Secretary under 7 CFR 1.130 through 1.151.  No administrative proceeding is required in connection with termination of a permit or an easement.

Justification for the Proposed Action:  Direction in FSM 2701.1, paragraph 4, and 2710.11a, paragraph 4, and FSH 2709.11, section 19, exhibit 03, uses the term "permit" to refer to a pipeline authorized under the MLA.  Additionally, the MLA uses the term "right-of-way" or "permit" throughout.  It has always been the Agencys practice to issue a permit or an easement for an MLA pipeline.  Consistent with statutory law and policy, 36 CFR 251.60 would be updated to include the word "permit." 

5)  Description of the Proposed Action:  The Agency is proposing to replace the cross-reference to section 251.54 in 36 CFR 251.65 with section 251.56.	

Justification for the Proposed Action:  The cross-reference in 36 CFR 251.65 to the provision governing terms and conditions,  section 251.54, is incorrect.  The correct cross-reference to the provision governing terms and conditions is section 251.56.

6) Description of the Proposed Action:  The Agency is proposing to replace the cross-reference to section 251.54(h)(1) in 36 CFR 251.60(a)(1)(i)(A) with 251.54(g)(3)(ii).

Justification for the Proposed Action:  The cross-reference in 36 CFR 251.60(a)(1)(i)(A) to the provision containing the evaluation criteria for noncommercial group use applications, section 251.54(h)(1), is incorrect.  The correct cross-reference to the provision containing the evaluation criteria is section 251.54(g)(3)(ii).

This direct final rule would provide for a 60-day comment period and would become effective 90 days after publication in the Federal Register, unless adverse comments are received during the comment period. 

If adverse comments are received, the agency will withdraw the final rule and publish a proposed rule. Adverse comments received on the direct final rule will be considered in the development of a final. 

The Agency recommends that this direct final rule be designated non-significant because the revisions are narrow in scope and are technical changes to make the current CFR consistent with current policy. There are no other planned revisions to the Forest Service regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sale and Disposal of National Forest System Timber, Prohibitions--Timber and Other Forest Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is preparing to issue a final rule (RIN 0596-AB81; 36 CFR 223) governing the disposal of special forest products and forest botanical products from National Forest System lands, via commercial harvest, sale, and free-use activities, on or prior to November 1, 2008. The final rule allows the Forest Service to: better manage the disposal of special forest products through commercial harvest and sale and free use; to implement a pilot program for charging and collecting fees for harvest of forest botanical products, pursuant to the pilot program law.  The rule is intended to facilitate sustainable harvest of special forest products and forest botanical products.  However, to legally enforce the rule, the regulations at 36 CFR 261.6(f) need to be clarified to include specific references to the Forest Service's management of the sale or exchange of forest products obtained via free or personal use.]]></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>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.

The Federal Register Notice will include the final rule as well as a response to all substantive comments.]]></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 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 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.  In addition, the Forest Service is revising a directive governing insurance requirements for Forest Service special use permits.]]></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>Market-Related Contract Term Additions Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Revise the Market-Related Contract Term Additions regulations at 36 CFR 223.52 to allow contracts to be extended for more than three years during prolonged periods of drastic reduction in wood product prices provided the additional time does not result in a total contract length greater than 10 years.  
The Market-Related Contract Term Additions (MRCTA) regulations (36 CFR 223.52) were first adopted in 1990 to prevent widespread contract defaults by providing additional contract time when adverse market conditions resulted in a drastic reduction in wood product prices.  By providing additional contract time purchasers can shift operations from high priced sales purchased when markets were up to lower priced sales purchased when the market is down.  As markets recover, purchasers can go back to their higher priced sales as they become economical to operate again.  The MRCTA regulations limit the total additional contract time to the lesser of twice the original contract length or 3 years and cant result in the total contract length exceeding 10 years.  The 10 year limit for total contract length is set in the National Forest Management Act of 1976, and this limit will not be considered for change under this proposed action.  The other limits were established in the MRCTA regulations as an estimate of how much time was needed for markets to recover enough for operations to resume based on historical trends.  However, the softwood lumber index peaked in August 2004 and has been declining since then.  During this sustained decline it has triggered for 10 consecutive quarters beginning with September 2005 and it is expected to continue triggering through much if not all of 2008.  Until the current event MRCTA has been working as intended for sales of softwood lumber.  This sustained decline exceeds any prior declines since the MRCTA regulations were adopted and with no end in sight the 3-year limit on MRCTA needs to be extended to avert widespread defaults.  As recently as the fall of 2007 lumber markets were predicted to begin improving by mid-2008.  Had this occurred no change in the regulation would have been needed.  Instead the mortgage crisis worsened resulting in a glut of homes on the market and new home construction which drives much of the lumber markets continues to decline.  In a December 2007 the Federal Timber Purchasers Committee (FTPC) wrote the Forest Service that the North American lumber and panel industry was operating at approximately 70 percent of capacity, new curtailments and mill closures were being announced weekly, and production curtailments were expected to continue into 2008.  The FTPC requested the Forest Service implement several short term relief measures needed for the existing manufacturing infrastructure to survive the current downturn and at the top of their list was relief on the 3-year limit for MRCTA.  Maintaining the forest products infrastructure is critical to achieving national forest land management objectives and in many places critical to the local economy.  Once lost this infrastructure is rarely replaced.  This rule will benefit the industry, the forest service and local dependent communities at risk of loosing manufacturing facilities.  Because of the potential dire consequences associated with delay the proposed changes in the MRCTA regulations will be implemented as an interim final rule and request for comments.  The Forest Service does not anticipate negative responses that would preclude quickly finalizing the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would adjust each civil monetary penalty provided by law within the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce.  The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, requires the head of each agency to adjust its civil monetary penalties for inflation no later than October 23, 1996, and requires them to make adjustments at least once every four years thereafter.  These inflation adjustments will apply only to violations that occur after the effective date of this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms Program Regulations and Implementation Regulations for Community Trade Adjustment Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance Act of 2009 (TGAAA), which contains specific amendments to chapters 3 and 4 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2341 et seq.) (Trade Act).  Chapter 3 of the Trade Act authorizes the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAAF) Program, under which a national network of eleven Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers provide technical assistance to firms that have lost domestic sales and employment due to increased imports of similar or competitive goods.  Chapter 4 of the Trade Act establishes the Community Trade Adjustment Assistance (Community TAA) Program, which is designed to help local economies adjust to changing trade patterns through the coordination of federal, State, and local resources and the creation and implementation of community-based development strategies to help address trade impacts.  As a result of the enactment of the TGAAA, EDA is publishing this notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to request comments on the promulgation of the Community TAA Program regulations and specific proposed changes to the TAAF Program regulations, both of which implement the amendments to the Trade Act made by the TGAAA.  In large part, the revisions to the existing TAAF Program regulations propose to make service sector firms potentially eligible for assistance and include longer look back time periods for which Firms may present data for certification purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms Program Regulations and Other EDA Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Economic Development Administration (EDA) is taking this action to amend some of its regulations, namely the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAA) regulations and the Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) regulations.  The technical revisions to a few of the TAA definitions were made to help better align EDAs responsibilities in implementing the TAA program under the Trade Act.  We made a number of changes to the RLF regulations in line with our commitment to implement the OIGs audit recommendations and to improve the administration and effectiveness of the RLF program.  EDA staff highlighted these proposed changes at mandatory training sessions for all EDA RLF recipients.  Among the major changes discussed were the switch to a web-based semi-annual reporting form that will eliminate redundant and calculable fields; the requirement that RLF grantees submit updated RLF Plans at least once every five years; the pegging of the minimum interest rate to commercial interest rates in order to ensure RLF grantees can lend when commercial interest rates are low; and simplification of record retention requirements.  Additionally, this action would make non-substantive revisions, such as the correction of typographical or grammatical errors and the addition of clarifying language, to other parts of EDA's regulations codified at 13 CFR chapter III.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Foreign-Trade Zones Board (Board) is revising its regulations issued pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934, as amended (the Act). The revised regulations will improve the application and approval procedures for foreign-trade zones and activity therein. The Board intends to institute new reporting requirements when zone participants begin using new foreign components or finished products in zones, and it intends to clarify when Board approval is needed for new zone activity. The revised regulations also will provide the zone community with guidance on the "public utility" and "uniform treatment" provisions of the Act. The regulations will ensure that zone grantees apply uniform criteria in making decisions regarding use of the zone and will set forth various rules to ensure that zone privileges are not abused for private profit. The Board is also proposing to improve its regulations regarding imposition of fines for violations of the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Conducting Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 19, 1997 (62 FR 27296), the Department of Commerce (the Department) published final rules on inter alia procedures for conducting antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings to conform the Department's existing regulations to the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA).  Although these regulations contain provisions on the conduct of sunset reviews, the Department is planning to amend the regulations to provide more guidance on the procedures for conducting sunset reviews. Specifically, the Department 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The action amends the ITA regulations governing the duty-exemption allocations for watch producers and duty-refund benefits for watch and jewelry producers in the United States insular possessions (the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands).   Title 15 CFR 303 is amended by making technical changes required by the passage of the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004, updating the regulations to comport with current Customs and Border Protection (CBP) practices and changes made in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), and adding a website address for Statutory Import Programs Staff (SIPS).  We also propose amending the regulations to reflect the new nomenclature changes made necessary by the transfer of the legacy Customs Service of the Department of the Treasury to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the subsequent enfolding of the U.S. Customs Service into the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Withdrawal of Regulation Governing Treatment of Tollers and Subcontractors in Antidumping Duty Determinations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The ITA takes this action to withdraw the provision at 19 CFR § 351.401(h).  ITA takes this action to ensure that the Department's antidumping analysis focuses upon the party setting the price of subject merchandise when the manufacture of such merchandise is subcontracted to another company. The regulation has had the unintended effect of bestowing the status of foreign manufacturer or producer upon parties in the United States that would have otherwise assumed the status of purchasers.  If a party that customarily assumes the status of a purchaser is bestowed the status of foreign manufacturer or producer, the proper application of the antidumping duty law would be thwarted.  This effect is contrary to the Department's intent in promulgating the regulation, and inconsistent with its statutory mandate to provide relief to domestic industries suffering material injury from unfairly traded imports.  The withdrawal of this rule will allow the Department to avoid these effects and provide relief as intended under the statutory scheme.]]></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>

        <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>

        <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, NMFS is proceeding with implementing a monitoring program for the shore-based whiting fishery.  This action will aid in the sustainable management of Pacific Coast salmon and groundfish fisheries while providing an important economic opportunity to those associated with the harvest, processing, and selling of whiting taken by the shore-based whiting fleet.  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 (FMPs).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Deployment of a Naval At-Sea Gunnery Scoring System </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 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service is considering regulations to protect wild spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris) in the main Hawaiian Islands from human activities that have the potential to cause "take," as defined in the Marine Mammal Protection Act and its implementing regulations, or to otherwise adversely affect the dolphins.  The scope of this action encompasses the activities of any person or conveyance that may result in the unauthorized taking of spinner dolphins and/or that may diminish the value to the dolphins of habitat routinely used by them for resting and/or that may cause detrimental individual-level and population-level impacts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[New Fishery Ecosystem Plans (FEPs) developed by the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council would employ ecosystem approaches to fishery management. The five place-based FEPs (Pelagics, American Samoa, Hawaii, Mariana Islands, and Pacific Remote Island Areas) would replace the five existing species-based fishery management plans (Pelagics, Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish, Crustaceans, Precious Corals, and Coral Reef Ecosystems). This action would also reorganize western Pacific regulations in 50 CFR 665 geographically according to the new FEPs, making the regulations better organized and easier to use for managers, the regulated community, and the general public.]]></ABSTRACT>

In order to issue regulations and authorize the take, NMFS must determine that the taking will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals, will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on subsistence uses of marine mammals and will be at the lowest level practicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Essential Fish Habitat</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This amendment would update Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS).  This amendment considers alternatives for different EFH identifications and descriptions, considers designating Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPCs), and analyzes fishing and non-fishing impacts on any resulting changes to 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 amendment would constitute the second phase of the 5-year review and update by potentially modifying some of the existing EFH.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Potential Revisions to the Turtle Excluder Device (TEDs) Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announces that it is considering technical changes to the requirements for turtle excluder devices (TEDs), and to solicit public comment.  Specifically, NMFS would modify the size of the TED escape opening currently required in the summer flounder fishery; require the use of TEDs in the whelk, calico scallop, and Mid-Atlantic scallop trawl fisheries; require the use of TEDs in flynets; and to move the current northern boundary of the Summer Flounder Fishery-Sea Turtle Protection Area off Cape Charles, Virginia, to a point farther north.]]></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 whether to propose 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 whether to propose 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; November 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 ANPR 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.  NMFS requests comments on whether--and if so, what type of--conservation measures, regulations, and, if necessary, other measures would be appropriate to protect killer whales from the effects of these activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory amendment would revise fisheries management regulations to ensure that the halibut, sablefish, and pollock community development quota (CDQ)  fisheries are managed no more restrictively than comparable individual fishing quota or cooperative fisheries in Alaska.  Possible regulatory revisions include those associated with: (1) fisheries observer coverage levels; (2) catch retention and reporting requirements; and (3) an exemption from a licensing requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification of Nations Whose Fishing Vessels Are Engaged in IUU Fishing or Bycatch of Protected Living Marine Resources</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service is establishing a process of identification and certification to address illegal, unreported, or unregulated (IUU) activities and bycatch of protected species in international fisheries.  Nations whose fishing vessels engage, or have been engaged, in IUU fishing or bycatch of protected living marine resources would be identified in a biennial report to Congress, as required under Section 403 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA) of 2006.  NMFS would subsequently certify whether identified nations have taken appropriate corrective action with respect to the activities of its fishing vessels, as required under Section 403 of MSRA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection and Use of Tax Identification Numbers From Holders of and Applicants for National Marine Fisheries Service Permits </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In conformance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Debt Collection Act), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will issue a rule to require that each existing holder of and future applicant for a permit, license, endorsement, authorization, transfer or like instrument issued  by the agency to provide a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) (business employer identification number or individuals social security number) and Date of Incorporation or Date of Birth, as appropriate.  Under the Debt Collection Act, NMFS is required to collect the TIN to report on and collect any delinquent non-tax debt owed to the Federal Government.  NMFS plans to use Date of Incorporation or 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 particular uses that may be made of the reported TIN, (b) the effects, if any, of not providing the required information, (c) how the information will be used to ascertain if the permit holder or applicant owes delinquent non-tax debt to the Government pursuant to the Debt Collection Act, (d) the effects on the permit holder or applicant when such delinquent debts are owed, and (e) the agencys intended communications with the permit holder or applicant regarding the relationship of such delinquent debts to its permitting process and the need to resolve such debts as a basis for completing permit issuance or renewal.  The rule will amend existing agency permit regulations and contain all appropriate modified and new collections-of-information pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is considering changes to its implementing regulations (50 CFR part 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking To 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 Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Secretary of Commerce is required to adopt such regulations as he deems necessary and advisable for the conservation of species listed as threatened.  This rulemaking would establish an ESA 4(d) rule representing regulations that NMFS believes necessary and advisable to conserve the threatened Southern Distinct Population Segment of North American green sturgeon (Southern DPS of green sturgeon).  The 4(d) rule would apply the prohibitions listed under ESA section 9(a)(1)(A) and 9(a)(1)(D) through 9(a)(1)(G) for the Southern DPS and apply ESA section 9(a)(1)(B) and (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.  The 4(d) rule would include exceptions to the take prohibitions for activities conducted in a way that NMFS deems adequate to protect or conserve the Southern DPS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This amendment will modify the Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish  Fishery Management Plan (FMP), the Precious Corals FMP, the Crustaceans FMP, and the Pelagics FMP by implementing regulatory measures that affect the authorized fisheries managed under those plans.  The modification will bring federal fishery regulations under the Magnuson-Stevens Act into compliance with the non-discretionary provisions contained in Proclamation No. 8031, which created the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, and further clarify discretionary fishing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 2 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Queen Conch Fishery of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[St. Croix queen conch landings by commercial fishermen alone have exceeded sustainable harvest levels since the 2000-2001 fishing season.  In 2005-2006, the commercial harvest was over four times sustainable levels.  Additionally, there is an unknown but significant recreational harvest.  Overfishing of queen conch has led to resource collapse in other regions and in some cases, long-term resource loss.  According to the NMFS Report on the Status of the U.S. Fisheries for 2006, queen conch is overfished and undergoing overfishing.  Under current fishing practices, reductions in mortality are not expected to be sufficient in the queen conch fishery.  Without a reduction in mortality, queen conch are not expected to achieve the rebuilding goals established in the Sustainable Fisheries Amendment of 2005.  Therefore, a change in fishing practices is needed to help achieve the necessary reductions in queen conch fishing mortality.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The action would implement amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act regarding administration and operations of the eight regional fishery management councils.  The action would also make technical changes to the regulations to make them conform to the Magnuson-Stevens Act and other applicable law and regulations.  The action would address changes to Councils' statements of Organization, Practices, and Procedures; makeup and function for Scientific and Statistical Committees (SSC); and potential stipends and requirements for financial disclosures of SSC members.  These regulatory changes would affect the operation and administration of the Councils, but would have no discernible direct effect on fishing industry members.]]></ABSTRACT>

Actions in the amendment would: 1) Remove the 15,000-pound landing requirement; 2) reinstate all endorsements lost due to not meeting the landing requirement in one of four consecutive calendar years; 3) reinstate limited access endorsements for vessel owners who renewed their open access permit in the year in which they failed to renew their limited access endorsement; 4) rename the limited access endorsement and the open access permit of the existing permit system to reduce confusion; and 5) require all South Atlantic shrimp permit holders to provide economic data if selected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is considering proposing changes to its implementing regulations (50 CFR section 216) governing the taking of stranded marine mammals under section 109(h), section 112(c), and title IV of the Marine Mammal Protection Act and is soliciting public comment to better inform the process.  NMFS intends clarify the requirements and procedures for responding to stranded marine mammals and for determining the disposition of rehabilitated marine mammals, which includes the procedures for the placement of non-releasable animals and for authorizing the retention of releasable rehabilitated marine mammals for scientific research, enhancement, or public display.  This action will be analyzed under the National Environmental Policy Act with an Environmental Assessment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise Federal regulations relevant to numerous administrative and procedural requirements applicable to observer providers, observers, and industry participating in the North Pacific Groundfish Observer Program.  Specifically, this action would: modify the current permit issuance process so that observer and observer provider permit issuance is a discretionary National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) decision; amend current Federal regulations addressing observer behavior involving drugs, alcohol, and physical sexual conduct to remove NMFS oversight of observer behavior that does not affect job performance; require that observer providers submit policies related to these activities and continue to notify NMFS upon learning of an incident; revise Federal regulations so that observer providers are allowed to provide observers or technical staff for purposes of exempted fishing permits, scientific research permits, or other scientific research activities; revise the definition of fishing day in Federal regulations; require observer providers to annually submit detailed economic information to NMFS; specify a date by which observers who have collected data in the previous fishing year would be required to be available for debriefing; and implement housekeeping issues related to errors or clarifications in existing regulations at 50 CFR 679.50.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), as amended, and the Interjuisdictional Fisheries Act (IFA), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes regulations to govern the application for and determination of commercial fishery failures as a basis for acquiring potential disaster assistance.  The regulations would establish definitions, characteristics of commercial fishery failures, serious disruptions affecting future production, and harm incurred by fishermen, fishery resource disasters, requirements for initiating a review by NMFS, and the administrative process it will follow in processing such applications.  The intended effect of these procedures and requirements is to clarify the fishery disaster assistance provisions of the MSA and the IFA through rulemaking and thereby facilitate the processing of requests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Western Pacific Pelagic Fisheries; Amendment 18 to the Pelagics Fishery Management Plan; Shallow-Set Longline Swordfish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 18 would remove the annual limit on the number of fishing gear deployments (sets) for the Hawaii-based pelagic longline fishery.  The amendment would also revise the current maximum limit on the number of physical interactions that occur annually between loggerhead sea turtles and vessels registered for use under Hawaii longline limited access permits while shallow-setting.  Other measures currently applicable to the fishery would remain unchanged.  Amendment 18 is intended to increase opportunities for the shallow-set fishery to sustainably harvest swordfish and other fish species, without jeopardizing the continued existence of sea turtles and other protected resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Harbor Porpoise Take Reduction Plan Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service is preparing a proposed rule to reduce the number of harbor porpoise taken in sink gillnet fisheries in the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic.  The Harbor Porpoise Take Reduction Plan implemented measures to reduce the incidental capture of harbor porpoises in sink gillnets to below the stock's Potential Biological Removal level (PBR) in 1999.  Measures include: management areas in which deterrent devices (pingers) are required on gillnets, gear modifications, and seasonal closures.  Between 2001 and 2005, incidental takes of harbor porpoise showed an increasing trend, and currently takes exceed PBR.  The proposed rule will implement measures developed through discussions with the Harbor Porpoise Take Reduction Team, which was reconvened in 2007 when it was clear that existing measures were not sufficient to keep porpoise bycatch to below PBR. For the Gulf of Maine, this action would expand pinger use in Massachusetts Bay to include November; establish Stellwagen Bank Management Area, requiring pingers November-May; establish Coastal Gulf of Maine Consequence Closure Area and require closure in October and November only if, after the most current two years, the average bycatch rate exceeds the trigger rate of .031, identified from observed compliant boats from the Mid-Coast, Massachusetts Bay, and Stellwagen Bank Management Areas; create Southern New England Management Area (includes current Cape Cod South Management Area); require pingers from December-May; establish Cape Cod South Expansion and Eastern Cape Cod Consequence Closure Areas; and require closure from February-April only if, after the most current two years, the average bycatch rate exceeds the trigger rate of 0.023, identified from observed compliant vessels fishing in the Southern New England Management Area.  For the Mid Atlantic, this action would establish Mudhole South Management Area. Close from February 1-March 15; and modify tie-down requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Compensation to Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Bottomfish and Lobster Fishermen Due to Fishery Closure in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008 authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to provide compensation to bottomfish and lobster fishery participants who will be displaced by the 2011 fishery closure resulting from the establishment by Presidential Proclamation of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.  The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) (designee of the Secretary) is required to promulgate regulations to implement a voluntary capacity reduction program that: (1) identifies eligible participants as those individuals holding Federal fishing permits for lobster or bottomfish in the designated waters within the monument; (2) provides a mechanism to compensate eligible participants for no more than the economic value of their permits; and (3) at the option of each eligible permit holder, provides an optional mechanism for additional compensation based on the value of the fishing vessel and gear of eligible participants who decide to receive these additional funds, provided that the vessels of such participants will not be used for fishing.  For this purpose, $6,697,500 is authorized to be appropriated to the NMFS for FY 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Online Cooperative Transfer</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Cooperatives are an integral part of the Rockfish Program, the Amendment 80 Program, and the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program, all existing programs within the Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off the coast of Alaska.  Transfers of fishery quota or quota shares among the cooperatives participating in each of these three programs has in the past required the submission of a paper transfer request form with an original, notarized signature.  In response to Industry requests to have the ability to submit transfer requests electronically in order to react quickly to changing conditions and to realize harvesting efficiencies, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) would provide cooperatives with an additional, completely electronic option to accomplish intercooperative transfers through automated, online submittals, down to the applicants printing out their confirmation and any revised individual fishing quota (IFQ) permits needed.  NMFS would remove the requirement for notarized signatures for all crab leases of IFQ and individual processor quota (IPQ); Rockfish and Amendment 80 transfers are all leases and do not currently require notaries.  Permanent transfers of quota share and processor quota share could not be accomplished online; these would still require the signed notarized copies.  Other related regulations would be adjusted and revised.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Take and Import Marine Mammals: Proposed Rule for Take of Marine Mammals Incidental to Routine Operations of 13 Power Generating Stations in Central and Southern California</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is issuing a proposed rule to govern the take of marine mammals by Level A harassment (injury) and mortality from 13 power generating stations located on the coast of central and southern California incidental to routine power plant operations for a period of five years, under the authority of section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act.  Under that authority NMFS also must prescribe mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements in connection with take authorizations.

Incidental takings of marine mammals, including California sea lions, harbor seals, and northern elephant seals can and do occur as a result of the operation of circulating water systems (CWS) by the electrical power generation plants located on the coast of central and southern California described in the incidental take authorization applications.  These CWS are an integral part of these power stations that provide continuous cooling water necessary for power generation and safety of the facility.  The typical location of entrainment occurs as water is taken into the plant via submerged structures or canals.  Intake velocities may be strong enough to pull live animals into the plant, particularly if they are actively seeking prey in the vicinity of intake structures.  Confinement within intake plumbing could lead to confusion and panic, especially for young, immature animals.  If the animal is unable to escape, it could (1) drown or become fatally injured in transit between intake and large sedimentation basins within the plants known as forebays, (2) survive the transit and succumb in the forebay due to exhaustion, illness, or disease, or (3) survive the transit and be rescued by plant personnel using cages specially designed for such an activity.  It is also likely that previously dead animals may end up entrained as well.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Shark Management Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would evaluate the management measures for small coastal sharks (SCS) based on the results of the 2007 SCS stock assessment.  This rulemaking could consider, among other things, commercial quotas and trip limits, recreational minimum size and bag limits, time/area closures, and the public display quota.  In addition, this rule would implement a rebuilding plan for blacknose sharks.  To the extent that blacknose sharks are caught in fisheries that are not targeted highly migratory species fisheries, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will work with the appropriate Regional Fishery Management Council, Interstate Commission, and States to implement regulations through their processes to rebuild blacknose sharks.  This action is necessary in light of recent stock assessments, which have determined that blacknose sharks are overfished with overfishing occurring.  As needed, this rule may include others items to clarify existing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The goal of Amendment 4 is to improve catch monitoring and ensure compliance with the Reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSRA).  The management measures developed in this amendment may address one or more of the following objectives: (1) to implement measures to improve the long-term monitoring of catch (landings and bycatch) in the herring fishery; (2) to implement annual catch limits and accountability measures consistent with the MSRA; (3)to implement other management measures as necessary to ensure compliance with the new provisions of the MSRA; (4) to develop a sector allocation process or other limited access privilege program for the herring fishery; and (5) in the context of objectives 1-4 (above), to consider the health of the herring resource and the important role of herring as a forage fish and a predator fish throughout its range.

The New England Fishery Management Council will develop conservation and management measures to address the issues identified above and meet the goals/objectives of the amendment.  Any conservation and management measures developed in this amendment also must comply with all applicable laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division Mission Activities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 3, 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from the Navy requesting an authorization for the take of 15 species/stocks of cetacean incidental to the proposed mission activities in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) study area over the course of five years. These mission activities are classified as military readiness activities. The purpose of the proposed mission activities is to enhance NSWC PCD's capability and capacity to meet littoral and expeditionary warfare requirements by providing Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) and in service engineering for expeditionary maneuver warfare, operations in extreme environments, mine warfare, maritime operations, and coastal operations. The Navy states that these training activities may cause various impacts to marine mammal species in the NSWC PCD study area. The Navy requests an authorization to take individuals of these cetacean species by Level B Harassment. Further, the Navy requests an authorization to take 1 individual each of bottlenose, Atlantic spotted, and pantropical spotted dolphins per year by injury, as a result of the proposed mission activities.   

NMFS is issuing a proposed rule to govern the take of these marine mammals by Level B harassment (behavior) and Level A harassment (injury) incidental to the aforementioned mission activities in the Naval NSWC PCD study area for a period of five years, under the authority of section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act.  Under that authority NMFS also must prescribe mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements in connection with take authorizations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Take and Import of Marine Mammals: Proposed Rule for Take of Marine Mammals Incidental to Operations of an LNG Port Facility in Massachusetts Bay</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 28, 2008, NMFS received a request from Tetra Tech EC, on behalf of Northeast Gateway Energy Bridge L.L.C. (Northeast Gateway) for an authorization to take marine mammals by harassment incidental to operation and maintenance of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Massachusetts Bay.  Since LNG Port operation and maintenance activities have the potential to take marine mammals, a marine mammal take authorization under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) is warranted.  NMFS has already issued a one-year incidental harassment authorization for this activity pursuant to section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA, which does not require promulgation of regulations.  However, since the LNG Port operation and maintenance activities will be ongoing in the foreseeable future, NMFS will propose regulations pursuant to section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA, which  would govern these incidental takes under a Letter of Authorization for up to five years.  Under section 101(a)(5)(A),  NMFS also must prescribe mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements in its regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Halibut Charter Vessel Moratorium</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would implement a moratorium on the entry of additional charter vessels into the guided sport fishery for Pacific halibut in waters of International Pacific Halibut Commission regulatory areas 2C (Southeast Alaska) and 3A (Central Gulf of Alaska).  If approved, this moratorium would limit the number of charter vessels that may participate in the guided sport fishery for halibut in these areas.  NMFS would issue a moratorium permit to a licensed charter vessel fishing business owner based on his or her past participation in the charter vessel fishery for halibut and to a Community Quota Entity representing specific rural communities.  All moratorium permit holders would be subject to limits on the number of permits they could hold and on the number of charter vessel anglers who could catch and retain halibut on the permitted charter vessel.  This action is proposed to achieve the halibut fishery management goals of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council.  The intended effect is to curtail growth of fishing capacity in the guided sport fishery for halibut.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish the 2009 fishing season quotas for North and South Atlantic swordfish based on recent updated landings information and recommendations  of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).  This rule is necessary to ensure that current swordfish quotas account for underharvests and reserve transfer from the 2008 fishing year, consistent with regulations at 50 CFR part 635 and ICCAT recommendations that establish the U.S. North and South Atlantic swordfish allocations.  This rule will also include other minor regulatory clarifications, eliminate an existing sunset provision in the Madison-Swanson and Steamboat Lumps time/area closure, and establish a small time/area closure in the Gulf of Mexico.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Construction and Operation of a Liquefied Natural Gas Facility Off Massachusetts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 27, 2007, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from Neptune LNG LLC (Neptune) for an IHA and regulations, under sections 101(a)(5)(D) and (A) of the MMPA, respectively, to take small numbers of several species of marine mammals, by Level B Harassment, for a period of one year, incidental to construction of the Neptune offshore LNG facility and for a period of five years incidental to construction and operation of the Port, respectively.  The project has the potential to disrupt the behavior patterns of marine mammals due to the noise that will be generated by the construction of the Port and pipeline and from dynamic positioning through the use of thrusters during operation.

MARAD and the USCG released a Final EIS for the proposed Neptune LNG Deepwater Port.  NMFS was a cooperating agency in the preparation of the Draft and Final EISs.  NMFS has adopted the USCG and MARAD FEIS and issued a separate Record of Decision for issuance of the IHA.

NMFS is still developing the proposed rule and has not yet reached any preliminary determinations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport Range Complex Extension Mission Activities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 15, 2008, NMFS received an application from the Navy requesting an authorization for the take marine mammal species/stocks incidental to the proposed research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) activities within the NAVSEA NUWC Keyport Range Complex Extension over the course of 5 years.  The Navy proposes to extend the Keyport Range Complex Extension operating areas, which is composed of Keyport Range Site, Dabob Bay Range Complex (DBRC) Site, and Quinault Underwater Tracking Range (QUTR) Site, outside existing range boundaries.  This proposed extension would allow the Navy to support existing and future range activities including evolving manned and unmanned vehicle program needs in multiple marine environments.  With the proposed extension of the Keyport and QUTR range sites, the range sites could support more activities, which include increases in the numbers of tests and days of testing.  No additional operational tempo is proposed for the DBRC Site.  Existing and proposed additional range activities include testing, training, and evaluation of system capabilities such as guidance, control, and sensor accuracy of manned and unmanned vehicles in multiple marine environments (e.g., differing depths, salinity levels, temperatures, sea states, etc.).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification to the Requirements for Chain-Mat Modified Dredges in the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NOAA Fisheries Service (NMFS) is currently developing a proposed rule that would modify the existing requirements related to the use of chain mats in the Atlantic sea scallop dredge fishery.  Under the current regulations, sea scallop dredge vessels that enter waters south of 41° 9 N latitude, from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone, are required to have each dredge configured with a chain mat from May 1 through November 30 each year.  Vessels that enter these waters are required to have the chain-mat configuration on all dredges for the duration of the trip.  The chain-mat modified dredge is necessary to help reduce mortality and injury to endangered and threatened sea turtles in scallop dredge gear and to conserve sea turtles listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  This rule proposes to make minor modifications to the existing requirements by: (1) further defining where on the dredge the horizontal and vertical chains comprising the chain mat should be hung; (2) excluding the sweep from the requirement that openings in the chain mat be 14 inches (35.5 cm) or less per side; and (3) adding a definition of the sweep.  This action would be implemented under the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>90-Day Finding for a Petition to Revise the Critical Habitat Designation for the Hawaiian Monk Seal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 2, 2008, we received a petition from Center for Biological Diversity, Kahea, and Ocean Conservancy, to revise the critical habitat designation for the Hawaiian monk seal under the Endangered Species Act.  The petitioners request that we extend critical habitat in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands to Sand Island and ocean waters out to a depth of 500 meters and to include key beach areas, sand spits, and islets, lagoon waters, inner reef waters, and ocean waters out to a depth of 200 meters around the main Hawaiian Islands.  If all of this habitat is not determined to qualify as critical habitat, the petitioners request that we designate a subset of the petitioned areas.  This petition triggers a requirement to make a 90-day finding on whether the petitioned action may be warranted.  We have determined that it may be warranted, and we are announcing this finding in the Federal Register.  By July 2, 2009, we must make a 12-month determination on whether the petitioned action is warranted and announce how we intend to proceed in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals; Small Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to Specified Activities; Consolidation of Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Protected Resources proposes to simplify the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by issuing an administrative final rule to redesignate regulations governing the small take of marine mammals, incidental to conducting specified activities (other than commercial fishing) in the marine environment. This administrative final rule amends the CFR by transferring regulations in subparts I through W of part 216 to subparts A through O of a new part 217 of chapter II of title 50 of the CFR. This final rule also redesignates each of the regulations in part 216 (subparts I through W) as subparts A through O in part 217.  The purpose of this administrative final rule is to make the regulations better organized and easier for the public to use. This transfer will have the effect of simplifying the organization and numbering of procedural regulations in part 216.  Given the nature of the changes (i.e., nonsubstantive changes to existing regulations), it is unnecessary to provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment on this rule pursuant to regulations in the Administrative Procedure Act (APA; 5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.,).  These changes are not expected to be controversial nor expose NOAA to litigation risk.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In September 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from the U.S. Navys (Navy) Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division for the promulgation of regulations and subsequent issuance of Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to take individuals of three species of marine mammals incidental to vehicle launches from San Nicolas Island (SNI), California, over the course of five years.  These training activities are classified as military readiness activities.  The Navy plans to launch up to 40 vehicles from SNI per year, with up to 10 launches per year during nighttime hours.  The Navy states that these activities may have both acoustic and non-acoustic effects on pinnipeds.  The Navy requests authorization to take three pinniped species by Level B Harassment: harbor seals, elephant seals, and California sea lions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to the Port of Anchorage Marine Terminal Redevelopment Project</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 20, 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from the Port of Anchorage (Port) and U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD) for regulations, under sections 101(a)(5)(D) and (A) of the MMPA, respectively, to take small numbers of four species of marine mammals, including endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) by Level B Harassment, for a period of five years, incidental to the Port of Anchorage Marine Terminal Redevelopment Project in Anchorage, Alaska.  The project has the potential to disrupt the behavior patterns of marine mammals and cause mild stress response due to the noise that will be generated from pile driving.  This action is not expected to be controversial. 

The Port is currently carrying out construction that could potentially harass marine mammals under a one-year IHA, issued July 15, 2008.   MARAD and the Port prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) in 2006.  NMFS prepared its own EA in 2008 to assess impacts from the project and prepared a FONSI for issuance of the one-year IHA.]]></ABSTRACT>

Past management practices under the plan have contributed to overcapitalization in these fisheries, which the Council now seeks to address.  The amendment creates an IFQ program to further control effort in the commercial grouper and tilefish fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico.  The IFQ program was supported by over 80% of all eligible fishermen voting in a referendum for the IFQ program.  The proposed rule would implement the IFQ program, establish design elements for the program, and allow consolidation of commercial permit landings history through permit stacking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 85 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 85 to the FMP would remove a provision that restricts participation of Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Program catcher processors (CPs) in Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) groundfish fisheries.  The participation restriction was developed to prevent rockfish program CPs from unfairly benefiting from their rockfish harvesting privileges by increasing effort in BSAI fisheries that remained subject to a race for fish.  Since the implementation of the rockfish program, most BSAI groundfish target species have been allocated among participating sectors, and most CPs in the rockfish program received exclusive privileges for harvesting these BSAI species. Consequently, the July stand down may no longer be required as a protection measure for other BSAI participants and its removal would enable the rockfish program CPs to more efficiently manage their harvesting activities.  This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FMP, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Shoreside Processor and Stationary Floating Crab Processor Crab Economic Data Reports (EDRs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Crab economic data reports (EDRs) were created to aid the North Pacific Fishery Management Council and NMFS to assess the success of the Crab Rationalization (CR) Program.  An EDR contains cost, revenue, ownership, and employment data.  These data are collected annually from the crab harvesting and processing sectors, including owners and lessees of catcher vessels, catcher/processors, shoreside processors, and stationary floating crab processors.  The data are used to study the economic impacts of the CR Program on harvesters, processors, and communities.  With limited exceptions, participation in the data collection program is mandatory for all participants in the crab fisheries.  Payment of fees and submission of an EDR are application requirements that must be completed before a processor quota share or quota share (QS) holder may receive individual processor quota (IPQ) or individual fishing quota (IFQ).  

This proposed action would amend regulations in 50 CFR part 680 that govern the requirements for an annual EDR.  Currently, the 680 regulations state that on or before June 28 of each year, any owner or leaseholder of a stationary floating crab processor (SFCP) or shoreside processor that processed crab from a CR fishery must submit an EDR for annual data for the previous calendar year.  A problem exists with this regulatory language that results in exempting a few crab processors from the EDR requirement that shouldn't be exempt.  A few SFCP or shoreside processor owners or leaseholders with substantial shares of crab IPQ purchase crab but do not process the crab; they have it all custom processed.  These participants incur a number of substantial costs and revenues, which go unreported because they avoid the processing trigger in the regulations.  This rule would correct this by replacing the word processed with purchased in paragraphs 680.6(f)(1) and 680.6(h)(1).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is required under the Endangered Species Act to designate critical habitat within 12 months of listing a species as threatened or endangered.  The Cook Inlet beluga whale was recently listed as an endangered species, and NMFS intends to pursue rulemaking to comply with the Act by designating critical habitat by October 2009.  Because we are required to complete an economic analysis of this action, and require public input early in the process, we intend to publish an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is necessary to allow subsistence halibut fishing opportunities for certain rural residents who are currently prohibited from legally participating in the subsistence halibut fishery because they live in locations with populations that are too small to meet the minimum population threshold to be deemed eligible as community residents, or because they live outside of the legal boundaries of specified communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment to Implement a State Waters Scallop Exemption Program for the State of Maine Under the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The scallop fishery regulations specify that a state may be eligible for a state waters exemption if it has a scallop fishery and a scallop conservation program that does not jeopardize the biomass and fishing mortality/effort limit objectives of the FMP.  The regulations further state that the Regional Administrator (RA) shall determine which states meet those criteria.  The proposed action would allow an exemption from gear and effort control restrictions for vessels issued Federal scallop permits and fishing exclusively in State of Maine (ME) waters.  Vessels would not be exempt from any other Federal restrictions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Adjustment 2 to the Spiny Dogfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this framework is to improve the timeliness and efficiency of incorporating the best available scientific information, consistent with National Standards 1 and 2, into the management process outlined in section 648.230.  This action would first liberalize the stock status determination criteria contained within the Spiny Dogfish FMP while maintaining objective and measurable status determination criteria for identifying when stocks or stock complexes covered by the FMP are overfished. Second, this action would establish acceptable categories of peer-review for stock status determination criteria.  When these specific peer-review metrics are met and new or updated information is available, the new or revised stock status determination criteria may be incorporated by the Council directly into the management measures for each species.]]></ABSTRACT>

The U.S. implementation of these provisions could include (but is not limited to) the following: (1) time-area closures for fishing on fish aggregating devices; (2) requirements regarding observers on vessels; (3) closure of specific areas of high seas; (4) limits on fishing effort and/or catches; and (5) requirements aimed at reducing the capture, injury, and mortality of sea turtles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>List of Fisheries for 2010</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would publish the annual List of Fisheries (LOF), as required by section 118 of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).  The LOF for 2009 reflects new information on interactions between commercial fisheries and marine mammals.  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>Reef Fish Amendment 31 To Reduce the Number of Loggerhead Sea Turtles by the Eastern Gulf of Mexico Bottom Longline Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In September 2008, NOAAs National Marine Fisheries (NMFS) released a report based on observer data that indicated the total number of loggerhead sea turtle takes by the eastern Gulf of Mexico reef fish bottom longline fishery was much greater than that authorized in the most recent biological opinion.  In response, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) requested NMFS take emergency action to reduce the number of takes by the fishery during the short term while the Council develops long-term measures in Amendment 31.  Measures being considered include: 1) modifying baits; 2) area, season, and depth restrictions; 3) reducing effort through a longline endorsement program; and 4) using observers or electronic monitoring to close the fishery once a sea turtle take threshold has been met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils (Councils) announce their intent to prepare an amendment (Amendment 5) to the Fishery Management Plan for Monkfish (Lophius americanus) and to prepare an EIS to analyze the impacts of any proposed management measures.  In general, the goals of the amendment are to bring the FMP into compliance with the new requirements of the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, specifically to establish annual catch limits and accountability measures, and to manage the fishery at long-term sustainable levels.  The Councils are initiating a public process to determine the scope of alternatives to be addressed in the amendment and EIS.  The purpose of this notification is to alert the interested public of the commencement of the scoping process and to provide for public participation in compliance with environmental documentation requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Arctic Fishery Management Plan </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would establish the Fishery Management Plan for Fish Resources of the Arctic Management Area (AMA) and the implementing regulations.  Commercial fishing in the AMA would be prohibited until enough information is available to allow for sustainable management of fishery resources.  Currently, no commercial fishing exists in the AMA.  This action is a precautionary measure to ensure unregulated or underregulated commercial fishing is prevented in the AMA to protect the Arctic marine environment from the potential effects of uncontrolled commercial fishing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reef Fish Amendment 30B to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico: Measure to Establish the Edges Seasonal-Area Closure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A proposed rule for Amendment 30B was published on November 18, 2009 (73 FR 68390).  Unfortunately, the proposed rule was in error relative to the time period The Edges seasonal-area closure would be closed to fishing.  Rather than a 4-month closure, as supported by Amendment 30B and correctly stated in the proposed rules preamble, the codified text would have established a year-round closure.  However, other actions in the final rule for Amendment 30B need to be implemented soon so that states can enact similar regulations for state waters.  Therefore, measures to establish The Edges seasonal-area closure from January 1 through April 30 consistent with the intent of Amendment 30B have been removed from the final rule associated with RIN 0648-AV80 and will be developed through a second rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary Regulations on the Use of Spearfishing Gear</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proposing to prohibit the use of spearfishing gear in Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary.  Spearfishing is a highly efficient harvesting gear that is often used to selectively target larger fish, and can significantly reduce abundance and alter the relative size structure of target species toward smaller fish.  Therefore, the proposed prohibition would provide protection to the fishes and natural live-bottom community for which the sanctuary was designated.  The proposal also would facilitate enforcement of an existing prohibition against the use of powerheads within the sanctuary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Navy Low-Frequency Sonar Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) amends 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 (P.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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Resource Agency Hearings and Alternatives Development Procedures in Hydropower Licenses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Departments of Agriculture, the Interior, and Commerce are jointly revising the procedures they established in November 2005 for expedited trial-type hearings required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct).  The hearings are conducted to 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 (FPA).  The three Departments are also revising the procedures they established in November 2005 for the consideration of alternative conditions and prescriptions submitted by any party to a license proceeding, pursuant to EPAct. Three substantially similar rules are being promulgatedone for each agencywith a common preamble.  The rules and preamble reflect changes to the Departments November 2005 interim final rules in response to public comments and the Departments own experience in implementing the interim final rules.  This rule is required by statute (EPAct) and, thus, consideration of alternatives is neither proper or warranted.]]></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 a NE operator permit.]]></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 that 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[The National Marine Fisheries Service issues this action to amend regulations specifying the current interval of time allowed for determining the maximum retainable amount (MRA) of selected groundfish species that can be retained by non-American Fishery Act trawl catcher processors.  This action would change MRA regulations located at 50 CFR 679.20(e) that establish the calculation of MRAs for groundfish species that are closed to directed fishing by increasing the interval of time each vessel in this sector would have to retain the MRA specified in regulation for several species in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands.  This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 time lines 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 decision makers 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Pelagic Longline Take Reduction Plan </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, the National Marine Fisheries Service implements the 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 proposed plan is based on consensus recommendations draft plan was by the Atlantic Pelagic Longline Take Reduction Team (Team) and includes both regulatory and non-regulatory 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; and (3) requiring all pelagic longline vessels post an informational placards on careful handling and release of marine mammals in the wheelhouse and working decks of the vessel.  Non-regulatory 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>Amendment 16 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The need for action through Amendment 16 is to end overfishing of gag and vermilion snapper.  Species in the fishery management unit are assessed on a routine basis and stock status may change as new information becomes available.  In addition, changes in management regulations, fishing techniques, and social/economic structure can result in shifts in the percentage of harvest between user groups over time.  More specifically, these proposed actions for gag and vermilion snapper would: implement measures to end overfishing of gag and vermilion snapper; allow the Regional Administrator to make adjustments to commercial and recreational management measures based on the reduction in harvest needed to achieve yield at Foy pending the outcome of a new benchmark assessment for vermillion snapper; specify the total allowable catch and define interim allocations for gag and vermilion snapper; update management reference points for gag and vermilion snapper; and reduce bycatch of snapper grouper species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 27 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) would amend the FMP to allow processors to modify use caps that limit the amount of individual processor quota (IPQ) shares that may be used by persons processing crab.  Specifically, Amendment 27 would allow persons holding IPQ shares to process their crab at processing facilities they do not own through contractual arrangements with the facility owners to have their crab custom processed at that facility.  Any crab processed under such a custom processing arrangement would not be applied against the IPQ use cap of the facility owners.  This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FMP, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 4 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) shall designate critical habitat for species listed as threatened or endangered.  This rulemaking would designate critical habitat in 45 specific areas occupied by Atlantic salmon at the time of listing that comprise approximately 203,781 km of perennial river, stream, and estuary habitat and 868 square km of lake habitat within the range of the Gulf of Maine's distinct population segment and on which are found those physical and biological features essential to the conservation of the species.  A draft economic analysis, biological report, and ESA section 4(b)(2) analysis report in support of the proposed rulemaking will be available for public review and comment.  We solicit comments from the public regarding the proposed rulemaking, including comments on economic, national security, or other relevant impacts, as well as the benefits of the designation to Gulf of Maine Atlantic salmon.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; U.S. Navy Training in the Virginia Capes Range Complex</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 17, 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received applications from the Navy requesting authorization for the take of 13 species of cetacean incidental to the proposed training activities in VACAPES Range Complex over the course of five years.  These training activities are classified as military readiness activities and consist of surface warfare, mine warfare, strike warfare, and vessel movement.  The Navy states that these training activities may cause various impacts to marine mammal species in the proposed VACAPES Range Complex.  The Navy requests authorizations to take individuals of these cetacean species by Level B Harassment.  Further, the Navy requests authorization to take 1 individual Atlantic spotted, 25 common, 1 pantropical spotted, and 9 striped dolphins per year by injury, and 1 individual common dolphin per year by mortality, as a result of the proposed training activities at VACAPES Range Complex.  

NMFS is taking this action to govern the take of these marine mammals by Level B Harassment (behavior), Level A Harassment (injury), and mortality incidental to the aforementioned training operations by the Navy VACAPES Range Complex for a period of five years, under the authority of section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act.  Under that authority NMFS also must prescribe mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements in connection with take authorizations.]]></ABSTRACT>

Under the crab rationalization program, harvesters receive annual allocations of individual fishing quota that provide an exclusive privilege to harvest a specific number of pounds of crab from a fishery. Any harvest in excess of an individual fishing quota allocation is a regulatory violation punishable by confiscation of crab or other penalties. Precisely estimating of catch at sea during the fishery is difficult and costly due to variation in size of crab, and sorting and measurement requirements. Overages can result from inadvertent mistakes by participants attempting to accurately estimate catch. A provision allowing for post-delivery transfer of individual fishing quota to cover overages could reduce the number of inadvertent violations, allowing for more complete harvest of allocations, and reduce enforcement costs without increasing the risk of overharvest of allocations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS); 2009 Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Quota Specifications and Management Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would set Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) quota specifications and seasonal management measures for the 2009 fishing year (January 1, 2009-December 31, 2009), and amend the BFT regulations.  This action would 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.  The seasonal management measures would set 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 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan.  Other BFT regulatory amendments would be made within the framework procedures of the FMP.

As ICCAT meets in November of the prior year, the rulemaking process needs to be performed expeditiously in order to publish the measures as soon as possible in the 2009 fishing year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments 92/82 would remove trawl gear endorsements on licenses issued under the license limitation program in specific management areas if those licenses have not been used on vessels that meet minimum recent landing requirements using trawl gear.  This action would provide exemptions to this requirement for licenses that are used in trawl fisheries subject to quota-based management.  This action would issue new area endorsements for trawl catcher vessels in the Aleutian Islands if minimum recent landing requirements in the Aleutian Islands were met.  This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FMPs, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2009 Atlantic Bluefish Specifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission manage the Atlantic bluefish fishery jointly through the Atlantic Bluefish Fishery Management Plan (FMP).  The FMP includes a specification process that requires the Council to recommend, on an annual basis, a total allowable catch (TAC) and total allowable landings (TAL) that are consistent with the stock rebuilding program.  The TAL is composed of a commercial quota (allocated to the states from Maine to Florida in specified shares) and a coastwide recreational harvest limit.  The Council may also specify a research set-aside (RSA) quota.  The FMP also requires the Council to recommend annual fishing measures, such as possession limits, to assure that the recommended quotas will not be exceeded.  The Council has submitted proposed specifications for the 2009 Atlantic bluefish fishery.  In summary, the specifications propose:  (1) A TAC for bluefish of 34.081 million lb (an increase from 31.887 million lb in 2008); (2) an overall TAL of 29.356 million lb (an increase from 28.156 million lb in 2008); (3) zero transfer from the recreational sector to the commercial sector, to achieve a commercial quota of 4.991 million lb (a reduction from 7.692 million lb in 2008) and a recreational harvest limit of 24.366 million lb (an increase from 20.415 million lb in 2008); (4) an RSA quota of 97,750 lb (would further reduce quota and limit above); and (5) a recreational possession limit of 15 fish.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Rule To Reduce Turtle Bycatch in the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Bottom Longline Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In September 2008, NOAAs National Marine Fisheries (NMFS) released a report based on observer data that indicated the total number of loggerhead sea turtle takes by the eastern Gulf of Mexico reef fish bottom longline fishery was much greater than that authorized in the most recent biological opinion.  Therefore, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) requested NMFS take emergency action to reduce the number of takes by the fishery.  The action requested by the Council is to move the bottom longline component of the eastern Gulf of Mexico reef fish fishery out to 50 fathoms to reduce sea turtle take for 2009 fishing year.  This rule would reduce take in the short term while the Council develops long-term measures to reduce sea turtle take in a plan amendment.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS announces that anyone who enters the Hawaii-based pelagic charter fishery after June 19, 2008, (the "control date") is not guaranteed future participation in the fishery if the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) recommends, and NMFS approves, a program that limits entry into the fishery, or other fishery management measures.

        <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) has received 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 off Mayport Florida.  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 is expecting to issue new regulations to 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. Those determinations have been made and are contained in the rulemaking.]]></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's 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Amendment 73 and Gulf of Alaska Amendment 77 Groundfish Fishery Management Plans 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 (FMP).  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) and 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 14 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Restrictions for 2007 Purse Seine and Longline Fisheries in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service announces the 2007 conservation and management measures for international tuna fisheries in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. The purse seine fishery will be closed for six weeks from August 1, 2007, to September 11, 2007, and any national longline fishery that 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 limit fishing mortality caused by purse seine fishing and longline fishing in the ETP, and to contribute to long-term conservation of the tuna stocks at levels that support healthy fisheries.  This will conform to the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission recommendation that was approved by the State Department.]]></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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 1 to the West Coast HMS 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 proposes to 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.

Amendment 1 contains no implementing regulations.]]></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 designates 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.

Proposed rule was published February 6, 2008 (73 FR 6895).  This final rule designates 1,329 sq mi of marine habitat in the Florida area, 1,383 sq mi in the Puerto Rico area, 121 sq mi in the St. John/St. Thomas area, and 126 sq mi in the St. Croix area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance for Annual Catch Limits and Accountability Measures 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 annual catch limits (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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule to Implement a Minimum Possession Size Limit on Spiny Lobster (Panulirus argus) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States is a major importer of spiny lobster from the Caribbean, importing more than 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>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 the National Marine Fisheries Service 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>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 due to the fact that the very large 2003 year class of haddock, which is the largest year class of haddock since 1963, 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>General Provisions for Domestic Fisheries; Specifications for Boarding Ladders</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 is 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 total allowable catch 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>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 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.  Implementation of the training activities conducted by the Navy 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>Amendment 3 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Spiny Lobster Fishery of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and Amendment 4 to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan of Puerto Rico and the U.S.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Many species of fish in the reef fish fishery in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are believed to be overexploited, largely due to trap fishing and bycatch associated with this fishery.  Landings from the trap fishery have continuously decreased since 1990 in Puerto Rico; species composition has changed; and size frequency of some fish has decreased over the last 10 years.  These effects have been attributed to excessive trap fishing effort, lack of compliance with trap construction requirements (i.e., fishers often do not use the required biodegradable fasteners on trap doors), use of other gears by commercial fishers (e.g., gill nets), 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.  Under current fishing practices, bycatch and the associated mortality of bycatch are not expected to be reduced sufficiently in the reef fish or spiny lobster trap fisheries.  Without a reduction in bycatch, those stocks experiencing overfishing may become overfished, and those stocks overfished may not meet the goals of the rebuilding plan set forth in the Sustainable Fisheries Act Amendment of 2005.  Therefore, the use of escape panels as a management tool is proposed in this amendment to help achieve the necessary reductions in fishing mortality among the species harvested by traps.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered Status for Black Abalone</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service has completed an Endangered Species Act (ESA) status review for black abalone (Haliotis cracherodii).  After reviewing information on the status of black abalone, evaluating threats facing the species, and taking into account existing protective efforts for the species, we conclude that black abalone is in danger of extinction throughout all of its range.  This conclusion is based on information confirming that: (1) the disease known as withering syndrome has spread to areas throughout the range of the species, has been responsible for local extirpation of the species throughout a large part of its range, and threatens to do the same in areas where black abalone still persist; (2) low adult densities below the critical threshold density required for successful spawning and recruitment exist throughout a large part of the species range; and (3) a number of interacting factors (e.g., suboptimal water temperatures, reduced genetic diversity, and illegal harvest) may further hamper natural recovery of the species because of negative synergistic effects.  This action would list black abalone as an endangered species under the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The subsistence halibut regulations would be amended to correct the location of the headquarters for the Village of Kanatak tribe and the assigned International Pacific Halibut Commission halibut regulatory area in which members of the tribe may subsistence fish for Pacific halibut.  The action would change the Village of Kanataks headquarters location from Egegik to Wasilla and the corresponding halibut regulatory area in which subsistence fishing by tribal members may occur from halibut regulatory Area 4E to Area 3A.  The intent of the correction is to remove restrictions on individual members of the Kanatak tribe to subsistence fish for halibut caused by inaccurate assignment of the tribes headquarters in the original implementing regulations for subsistence halibut fishing.]]></ABSTRACT>

The LOF for 2009 reflects new information on interactions between commercial fisheries and marine mammals.  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>Revisions to the Pollock Trip Limit Regulations in the Gulf of Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action revises the current pollock trip limit regulation to prohibit a catcher vessel from retaining more than 136 mt (300,000 lb) of unprocessed pollock during a calendar day, and landing more than 136 mt (300,000 lb) of pollock during a fishing trip.  The National Marine Fisheries Service also proposes to prohibit a vessel from landing a cumulative amount of unprocessed pollock from any Gulf of Alaska (GOA) reporting area that exceeds 136 mt (300,000 lb) times the number of days the pollock fishery is open to directed fishing in a season.  The objective of this rule is to prevent certain pollock catch and delivery practices that allow some vessels to circumvent the intent of current trip limit regulations.  These delivery practices have caused seasonal pollock quotas to be exceeded, and if allowed to continue could conflict with Steller sea lion protection measures under Endangered Species Act (ESA) that are intended to disperse pollock catches in the GOA.  These delivery practices have caused seasonal pollock quotas to be exceeded, and if allowed to continue could conflict with Steller sea lion protection measures under ESA that are intended to disperse pollock catches in the GOA.  Current regulations in the pollock directed fishery prohibit catcher vessels from exceeding a catch of 136 mt (300,000 lb) of pollock in a fishing trip.  Since trip limits were implemented in 1999, these regulations have become less effective, as multiple trips during a day and partial offloads of pollock product during a trip have allowed for increasing amounts of pollock to be caught in some areas of the GOA.  Amending the current trip limit regulation to limit legal opportunities for a vessel to exceed 136 mt (300,000 lb) of pollock caught in a day, would continue to disperse catches of pollock in a manner that is consistent with the intent of Steller sea lion protection measures in the GOA.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action will continue, without modification, current nighttime fishing restrictions of medium mesh gillnets operating in the North Carolina portion of the Winter-Mixed Management Unit during the winter.  Members of the Bottlenose Dolphin Take Reduction Team (BDTRT) recommended these regulations be extended for an additional three years to ensure continued conservation of the Western North Atlantic coastal bottlenose dolphin stock, should a directed spiny dogfish fishery reemerge in North Carolina.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Referendum Procedures for a Potential Gulf of Mexico Grouper and Tilefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Grouper and tilefish species in the Gulf of Mexico are managed under the reef fish fishery management plan.  Past management practices under the plan have contributed to overcapitalization in these fisheries, which the Council now seeks to address.  The Council is considering an IFQ program to further control effort in the commercial grouper and tilefish fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico.  Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), NOAAs National Marine Fisheries Service must conduct a referendum to determine whether an IFQ program, as ultimately developed, should be submitted to the Secretary of Commerce for review, approval, and implementation.  This proposed rule would provide potential referendum participants information concerning the schedule, procedures, and eligibility requirements for participating in the referendum.  The intended effect of this proposed rule is to implement the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act for implementing an IFQ program in the Gulf of Mexico.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; U.S. Navy Training in the Hawaii Range Complex</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing the issuance of regulations and subsequent Letters of Authorization (LOAs) for the Navy to take individuals of 24 species of marine mammals incidental to upcoming Navy training activities to be conducted within the Hawaii Range Complex, which covers 235,000 nm2 around the Main Hawaiian Islands, over the course of 5 years. These training activities are classified as military readiness activities.  These training activities may incidentally take (by Level B Harassment) marine mammals present within the HRC by exposing them to sound from mid-frequency or high frequency active sonar (MFAS/HFAS) or to underwater detonations at levels that NMFS associates with the take of marine mammals.  Further, though we do not expect it to occur, NMFS proposes to authorize the Navy to take, by injury or mortality, up to 10 individuals each of 10 species over the course of the 5-year period (bottlenose dolphin, Kogia spp., melon-headed whale, pantropical spotted dolphin, pygmy killer whale, short-finned pilot whale, striped dolphin, and Cuviers, Longmans, and Blainvilles beaked whale).  Because of the public interest and likelihood of litigation, this application and proposal is considered controversial.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interim Action to Reduce Fishing Mortality and Maintain Stock Rebuilding; Northeast Multispecies Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMP requires fishing mortality reductions to be implemented May 1, 2009, as a part of the rebuilding plan specified under Amendment 13 to the FMP, and if additional reductions in fishing mortality are necessary as a result of stock assessments that will occur in August 2008.  The New England Fishery Management Council is currently developing Amendment 16 to the FMP that, if approved, would implement management measures to achieve the necessary fishing mortality reductions to meet the required objectives of the FMP, as well as other extensive modifications to the FMP.  However, due to the scope and complexity of Amendment 16, it is likely that the development the Amendment may be behind schedule and not be implemented by May 1, 2009.  Therefore, due to the need to meet the rebuilding goals of the FMP by May 1, 2009, an interim action is being developed by NOAAs National Marine Fisheries Service.  This interim action would be more narrow in scope than Amendment 16 and focus on the required adjustments to the FMP, and include a measure that would provide flexibility to the industry and mitigate negative economic impacts.  This action would remain in effect until Amendment 16 is implemented, which is expected no later than May 1, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; U.S. Navys Atlantic Fleet Active Sonar Training (AFAST)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In February, 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from the Navy for MMPA Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to take individuals of 39 species of marine mammals incidental to Navy Atlantic Fleet Active Sonar Training (AFAST) to be conducted off the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. and in the Gulf of Mexico over the course of 5 years.  These military readiness training activities may incidentally take marine mammals present in the area by exposing them to sound from mid-frequency or high-frequency active sonar (MFAS/HFAS) or to underwater explosive detonations that may take marine mammals.  Further, though we do not anticipate it to occur, the Navy requests authorization to take, by injury or mortality, up to 10 total beaked whales over the course of 5 years (any combination of six species).

NMFS participated as a cooperating agency on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) analyzing the effects on the environment from the Navys proposed activity.  Take of marine mammals will be minimized through: (1) powerdown and shutdown of sonar when marine mammals are detected within ranges where the received sound level is likely to result in temporary threshold shift (TTS) or injury, (2) the use of exclusion zones that avoid exposing marine mammals to explosives likely to result in injury or death of marine mammals, and (3) the implementation of a Stranding Response Plan for the HRC, which includes a shutdown provision in and requires NMFS and the Navy develop an MOA to allow the Navy to assist NMFS in stranding response/investigation through in-kind services.  NMFS is still working with the Navy to determine if additional protective measures are appropriate.  Additionally, NMFS and the Navy have worked to develop a robust monitoring plan to help further determine the effects that MFAS/HFAS have on marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS takes this action to revise the seabird avoidance regulations for the hook-and-line fishery for groundfish and halibut in the International Pacific Halibut Commission regulatory area 4E of the Bering Sea.  This action would eliminate seabird avoidance requirements for hook-and-line vessels less than or equal to 55 feet length overall in portions of Area 4E.  This action is necessary to revise seabird avoidance regulations based on the latest scientific information regarding the location of seabirds and fishing activities and to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens and associated costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment to Exempt Dinglebar Fishermen in the Gulf of Alaska from Vessel Monitoring System Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would exempt vessels with Federal fishing permits and with dinglebar gear onboard in the Gulf of Alaska from vessel monitoring system (VMS) requirements.  All federally permitted vessels, including dinglebar fishermen fishing for lingcod in the Gulf of Alaska, are currently required to carry a VMS so that regulations to protect sensitive coral habitat may be enforced.  Evidence suggests that the dinglebar fishery for lingcod occurs at shallower depth than where these sensitive corals occur.  The cost of purchasing and maintaining a VMS is therefore not warranted for this fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Space Vehicle and Test Flight Activities from Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), CA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) for the promulgation of regulations and subsequent issuance of Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to take individuals of four species of marine mammals incidental to space vehicle and test flight activities from Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), California, over the course of five years.  These training activities are classified as military readiness activities.  Marine mammals may be exposed to continuous noise due mostly to combustion effects of aircraft and launch vehicles and impulsive noise due to sonic boom effects.  The USAF requests authorization to take four pinniped species by Level B Harassment.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Services are proposing these changes to clarify several definitions, when the section 7 regulations are applicable and the correct standards for effects analysis, and to establish time frames for the informal consultation process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to approve and implement changes to the Pacific Halibut Catch Sharing Plan (Plan) for the International Pacific Halibut Commissions (IPHC or Commission) regulatory Area 2A off Washington, Oregon, and California (Area 2A).  NMFS proposes to implement the portions of the Plan and management measures that are not implemented through the IPHC, which includes tribal regulations and the sport fishery allocations and management measures for Area 2A.  These actions are intended to enhance the conservation of Pacific halibut, to provide greater angler opportunity where available, and to protect yelloweye rockfish and other overfished groundfish species from incidental catch in the halibut fisheries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control Date for Black Sea Bass Pot Fishery of the South Atlantic Region</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At the December 2008 Council meeting the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council voted to establish a revised control date of December 4, 2008, for all commercial black sea bass pot permits issued in the South Atlantic Exclusive Economic Zone.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Establish a Control Date for the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice would inform the Gulf of Mexico reef fish fishery of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Councils (Council) intention to consider further limiting access within the commercial sector of the Gulf reef fish fishery.  Specifically, the Council may consider creating additional restrictions including limiting participation by gear type or by specific species to only those vessels that have catch histories in excess of some minimum landings threshold.  Should the Council take such future action to further restrict participation in the Gulf reef fish fishery, it intends to use December 31, 2008, as a possible control date regarding the eligibility of catch histories.  Publication of the control date in the Federal Register would inform participants of the Councils considerations, and give notice to anyone entering the fishery after the control date they would not be assured of future access should a management regime be implemented using the control date as a means to restrict participation.  Implementation of any such program would require preparation of an amendment to the respective Fishery Management Plan and publication of a notice of availability and proposed rule with pertinent public comment periods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Rules of Practice Before the Board of Appeals and Interferences in Inter Partes Appeals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is revising the rules of practice with respect to inter partes appeals before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences.  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.  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>

The USPTO is also proposing a higher minimum font size for use on paper submitted to the USPTO for a patent application or reexamination proceeding, and to clarify that papers that are to become part of the file of a patent application or reexamination proceeding must be readily readable.  The proposed changes will improve the legibility of documents in the USPTOs file of patent applications and reexamination proceedings.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is considering changes to the rules of practice to require that any deposit of biological material be made before publication of a patent application, and that all restrictions on access to the deposited material imposed by the depositor be removed upon publication.  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 Electronic Patent Publication</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is proposing to revise the rules of practice to implement electronic patent publication.  The electronic patent publication process would permit the Office to issue patents and reexamination certificates, and publish statutory invention registrations more quickly and to reduce the pendency of the application or reexamination proceeding by about two weeks.  The electronic patent publication process would also increase the accessibility of patents and reexamination certificates.  A copy of the patent including the cover sheet and the reexamination certificate(s), if applicable, would be electronically available upon the issuance.  The patentees, the requesters, and any member of the public would be able to view and print a copy of the patent including the cover sheet in color, the reexamination certificate(s), and statutory invention registrations through the Patent Application Image Retrieval (PAIR) system.  The Office would no longer provide a ribbon copy of the letters patent, paper copy of a reexamination certificate(s), paper copy of a statutory invention registration or paper copy of a certificate of correction to the patentee or the requester.  The Office is proposing to amend the rules to provide that patentees may request paper bound copies of a patent including the cover sheet for a fee.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The USPTO is proposing to revise the rules of practice to adjust the fee or set a fee for certain processes and services for which the USPTO is required to set a cost-recovery fee.  The USPTO is specifically proposing to adjust the fee for a request for continued examination, eighteen-month publication, and a certificate of correction (applicants mistake) fee, and set a fee for requesting a corrected republication of a patent application publication.  The rules of practice currently do not set a fee, or do not set a fee that recovers the USPTOs costs, for these processes or services.  The USPTO is proposing to adjust or set these fee amounts such that they more accurately reflect the Office costs for these processes or services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations To Implement the DTV Delay Act   </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 11, 2009, President Obama signed the DTV Delay Act which extends the deadline for the digital conversion and the coupon application period for the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Coupon Program (Coupon Program) by four months.   The DTV Delay Act also authorizes the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to extend the date for households to apply for coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes and to issue replacement coupons to households whose coupons have otherwise expired unredeemed.  These changes to the Coupon Program were conditioned upon enactment of new budget authority for the Coupon Program, which was provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.]]></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>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>

        <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>Foreign Direct Products of U.S. Technology</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security is revising the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to expand the scope of controls over foreign-produced items that are the direct product of U.S.-origin technology, colloquially is known as the "direct product rule."  The direct product rule makes certain foreign-produced direct products of U.S.-origin technology subject to the EAR.  Prior to publication of this rule, such direct products were subject to the EAR when destined to Cuba or a country with which the U.S. has national security concerns.  This rule expands the country scope to include all countries designated by the U.S. Department of State as countries whose governments have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism, namely, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.  These expansions support the national security objectives of the U.S. by restricting the export, reexport, and transfer of foreign-produced direct products of national security controlled U.S.-origin technology and foreign-produced direct products of foreign plants or manufacturing equipment produced from national security controlled U.S.-origin technology to terrorism supporting countries.  This rule also makes parallel revisions to written assurances, information required on the license application for national security controlled technology, and the instructional steps in the EAR that provide guidance on how to apply the direct product rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reporting on Offset Agreements in Sales of Weapons Systems or Defense-Related Items to Foreign Countries or Foreign Firms</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Defense Production Act Amendments of 1992 require the Secretary of Commerce to promulgate regulations for U.S. firms entering into contracts for the sale of defense articles or defense services to foreign countries or foreign firms that are subject to offset agreements exceeding $5,000,000 in value to furnish information regarding such agreements.  The Secretary of Commerce has designated the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) as the organization responsible for implementing this provision.  BIS is making technical corrections to these regulations found in 15 CFR 701.  The information provided by U.S. firms is used to prepare a report that is submitted annually to Congress pursuant section 309 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarifications to Part 752: Special Comprehensive License Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to License Requirements for Certain Thermal Imaging Cameras Incorporating Focal Plane Arrays</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule imposes a license requirement for certain exports and reexports of defense articles manufactured outside the United States that are not otherwise subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations regardless of the level of U.S. content, if those defense articles incorporate certain thermal imaging cameras that are subject to the EAR.  This rule also removes Commerce Control List (CCL) based export and reexport license requirements with respect to 36 destinations for certain thermal imaging cameras when not so incorporated and if not being exported or reexported to be embedded in a civil product.  It imposes a semi-annual reporting requirement on the transactions from which it removes the CCL based license requirements.  This rule limits use of License Exception APR for reexports of certain cameras in ECCN 6A003.b.4.b and certain foreign-made defense articles containing such cameras.  This rule imposes a license requirement for software used to increase the frame rate of certain cameras.  BIS is making these changes in recognition of the emerging availability of these cameras around the world, the export licensing practices of other governments, and the potential use of these cameras in defense articles.]]></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>Revision to the Entity List: Change of License Review Policy for One Listed Entity and Its Subordinates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to revise the license review policy for EAR99 items for one (1) entity and its subordinate entities located in Pakistan that are listed on the Entity List.  This rule notifies the public that the license review policy for the export or reexport of all items subject to the EAR to the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and its subordinate entities listed on the Entity List will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.  Prior to publication of this rule, license applications for EAR99 items were reviewed with a presumption of approval, while items listed on the CCL were reviewed on a case-by-case basis.  The Entity List is a compilation of end-users that present an unacceptable risk of diverting certain items to activities related to weapons of mass destruction.  BIS requires a license for most exports or reexports to these entities and maintains the Entity List to inform the public of these license requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Encryption Simplification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations to make the treatment of encryption items more consistent with the treatment of other items subject to the EAR, as well as to simplify and clarify regulations pertaining to encryption items.  The restrictions pertaining to technical assistance by U.S. persons with respect to encryption items are removed, because the current export and reexport restrictions set forth in the EAR for technology already include technical assistance.  This rule removes License Exception KMI as it has become obsolete because of the advancement of encryption technology.  This rule also removes semi-annual reporting requirements for encryption commodities and software under License Exception ENC, except for the most sensitive.  In addition, this rule removes the notification and review requirements for encryption items that do not have an encryption item (EI) reason for control.  This rule also adds Argentina, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Turkey to the list of countries that receive favorable treatment under License Exception ENC.  This rule also clarifies the license requirements under Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 5A002, 5D002, and 5E002 of the Commerce Control List.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>December 2007 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Agreement Implementation: Category 6 (Cameras and Optical Sensors) of the Commerce Control List; Wassenaar Reporting Requirements</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) with regard to Optical Sensors and Cameras 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 Category 6, specifically Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 6A002 and 6A003.  This rule also modifies regional stability controls, license exception eligibility, and reporting requirements for these ECCNs.  The purpose of this final rule is to make the necessary changes to the CCL and Wassenaar reporting requirements to implement Wassenaar List revisions that were agreed upon in the December 2007 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Meeting with regard to optical sensors and cameras.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Certain End-User Controls Under the Export Administration Regulations; Clarification Regarding License Requirements for Transfers (In-Country) to Persons Listed on the Entity List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to make revisions to three sections of the EAR that are used by the United States Government as the basis for placing certain end-users of concern onto the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to part 744). Prior to publication of this rule, these three sections specified license requirements for exports and reexports to these persons listed on the Entity List on the basis of one of these three sections. However, each of these sections was silent regarding whether persons could make transfers (in-country) to these end-users of concern that were placed on the Entity List on the basis of one of these three sections of the EAR. To provide clarity regarding the intended scope of these three end-user controls, this rule adds transfers (in-country) to the scope of the license requirements under each of these three end-user controls. 

By this rule adding transfers (in-country) to these three end-user controls described in the first paragraph of this summary, all of the end-use and end-user controls that are used as a regulatory basis for putting persons on the Entity List will now specify after the publication of this rule that the license requirements include exports, reexports and transfers (in-country). Lastly, to conform with the changes made in this rule, the rule also revises the introductory text to the Entity List to clarify the scope of the license requirements on the Entity List includes exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to these listed persons.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>De Minimis U.S. Content in Foreign Made Items</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Commerce is revising the provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that pertain to foreign-made items that incorporate controlled U.S.-origin items, i.e., the EAR's "de minimis" rules. This rule amends the EAR to change the de minimis calculation for foreign produced hardware that is bundled with U.S.-origin software.  This rule also revises the definition of "incorporate" as it is applied to the de minimis rules and to the medical statement of understanding.  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" and General Prohibition Two with regard to the de minimis rules in order to reduce redundancies in the EAR and harmonize the provisions with other revisions made 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>

        <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>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 for the Application of Safeguards in the United States of America (AP or Protocol), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is establishing 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) amends 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 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 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 amends the EAR by revising the definition of the term transfer and certain related terms, to provide greater clarity regarding these provisions.]]></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>License Exception ENC: Expansion of Scope of Countries and End-Use; Revision of Review Request Requirements; and Clarifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security is revising the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to expand the country scope of License Exception ENC, as well as the end-use scope.  In addition, this rule revises License Exception ENC by removing text that is no longer necessary and by making some revisions for clarification of understanding.  These revisions are made in response to requests from industry and do not pose a national security risk to the United States.

The revisions in this rule expand the end-use from only development to development and manufacturing of foreign products for private sector end-users. In addition, it expands the country scope  from a select number of countries to all countries, with the exception of the terrorist supporting countries.  The national security of the United States is maintained by making all foreign-produced or developed items that contain controlled U.S.-origin items subject to the EAR, as well as all foreign-produced or developed items produced from controlled U.S.-origin technology or source code.  This rule also revises the waiting period after the submission of a review request to BIS for transactions for other types of end-uses to end-users.  In addition, this rule expands the country scope for the export or reexport of certain listed encryption commodities and software under License Exception ENC to non-government end-users.  The country scope is expanded from a certain number of countries eligible for License Exception ENC to any country, except terrorist supporting countries.  This rule will provide industry greater flexibility to manufacture and develop encryption products abroad, as well as, reduce the number of license applications submitted to BIS, while maintaining the national security of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deletion of Statement of Understanding Regarding Source Code</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 5, 2007 (72 FR 62524), the Bureau of Industry and Security published a final rule that amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the agreement reached at the December 2006 plenary meeting of the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies.  Included in this publication was the addition of the Statement of Understanding (SOU) regarding source code.  This rule removes this SOU, because the EAR presently controls "source code" by way of "software" controls, not by way of "technology" controls.  This language is inconsistent with the current scheme for the control of exports of "source code" as set forth in the EAR.  The addition of this language to Supplement No. 3 to part 774 of the EAR has led to confusion within industry regarding whether BIS currently controls source code by way of "software" controls, "technology" controls, or both.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations: Additions to the List of States Parties; Updates to Contact Information for the Treaty Compliance Division; Editorial Corrections</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations (CWCR) (15 CFR parts 710 to 729) by updating the address for submitting declarations, reports, and advance notifications that are required under the CWCR and for submitting chemical determination requests, as well as requests for obtaining the forms needed to complete declarations and reports.  This rule also amends the list of States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in Supplement No. 1 to part 710 of the CWCR by adding "Congo (Republic of the)" and "Guinea-Bissau," which became States Parties to the CWC on January 3, 2008, and June 19, 2008, respectively.  As a result of this change, the CWCR declaration and reporting requirements for these two countries will be the same as those that apply to other States Parties.  Finally, this rule revises a number of references in the CWCR to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 730 to 774) to indicate the correct legal citation for the EAR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to General Order No. 3: 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.  The general order was later amended on September 6, 2006, to add nine additional persons and then expanded through an amendment that was published on June 8, 2007.  Sixteen additional persons were also added to the general order at that time.  The expanded general order imposed a license requirement for the export or reexport of any item subject to the EAR involving specifically listed persons who fell into one of two groups: (i) persons concerning whom the U.S. Government has information of affiliation or relationship to Mayrow General Trading and (ii) persons concerning whom the U.S. Government possesses information regarding the acquisition or attempted acquisition of commodities capable of being used to construct IEDs, as well as specifically listed persons who are related or affiliated with such persons.  The license requirement applied to any transaction in which items were exported or reexported to such persons or in which such persons acted as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-user.  The expanded order also prohibited the use of License Exceptions for exports or reexports of any items subject to the EAR involving such persons.

This rule adds additional persons to the general order, listed in alphabetical order.  In addition, this rule will provide two aliases for one of the persons previously listed in the general order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Certain Persons to the Entity List; Removal of General Order From the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding additional persons to the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to part 744) on the basis of section 744.11 of the EAR.  These additional persons being added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.    

The persons being added to the Entity List with this rule can be broken down into two types of persons.  The first type are persons that were listed on General Order No. 3, prior to publication of this rule, that are now moved to the Entity List with publication of this rule.  There were thirty three (33) persons listed on the general order and all of those persons are now listed on the Entity List with the publication of this rule.  

The second type of persons being added to the Entity List with this rule are certain additional persons that were not previously listed on the general order, but are of concern to the U.S. Government for the same reasons as those persons that were previously listed on the general order.   This rule adds these additional persons to the Entity List also on the basis of section 744.11.

This rule removes and reserves the general order because all of the persons from the general order are now listed on the Entity List with the publication of this rule.  The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports and reexports to parties identified on the Entity List require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and that availability of License Exceptions in such transactions is limited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of Certain Persons From the Entity List: Persons Removed Based on Removal Requests and End-User Review Committee Annual Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing certain persons from the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to part 744). These persons are being removed from the Entity List because the End-User Review Committee (ERC) decided to approve certain removal requests that were submitted by persons listed on the Entity List, who petitioned for their removal from the Entity List. In addition, other persons are removed from the Entity List with this rule because of determinations made by the United States Government during an annual review of the Entity List that was conducted by the ERC. 

This rule also makes a clarification to certain persons that were listed on the Entity List prior to this rule being published. This rule removes one of the addresses for certain co-located entities. 

The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports and reexports to parties identified on the Entity List require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and that availability of License Exceptions in such transactions is limited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Radiation Sources on Army Land</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Army proposes to amend its regulation to title 32 Code of Federal Regulation section 655.10.  The Army requires non-Army agencies (including civilian contractors) to obtain an Army Radiation Permit (ARP) from the installation commander to use, store, or possess ionizing radiation sources on an Army Installation.  For the purpose of this paragraph, "ionizing radiation source" means any source that, if held or owned by an Army organization, would require a specific Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license or Army Radiation Authorization (ARA). The purpose of the ARP is to protect the public, civilian employees, and military personnel on an installation from potential exposure to radioactive sources.  The U.S. Army Safety Office, who is the proponent for the Army Radiation Safety Program, is revising the regulation to reflect the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's changes to licensing of Naturally Occurring or Accelerator Produced Material (NARM).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Off-Label Uses of Devices; Partial List of Examples of Unproven Drugs, Devices, and Medical Treatments or Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the definition of "unlabeled or off-label drug" to "off-label use of a drug or device." This revision is consistent with the regulatory framework under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq). Additionally, this rule removes the partial list of examples of unproven drugs, devices, and medical treatments or procedures proscribed under section 199.4(g)(15). As it is determined that reliable evidence demonstrates that previously unproven drugs, devices, and medical treatments or procedures have proven medical effectiveness, TRICARE has removed them from the list and authorized medically necessary care. This removal of the partial list is necessary as the list will never be completely current and is only a partial list of examples. The removal of this partial list does not change or eliminate any benefits that are currently available under the TRICARE program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Morbid Obesity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule modifies the TRICARE program regulation on surgery for morbid obesity to allow benefit consideration for the newest bariatric surgical procedures that are considered appropriate medical care.  The rule does not expand the TRICARE benefit for morbid obesity surgery; however, it makes the specific procedures that are covered, and the clinical conditions for which coverage may be extended, a matter of policy.  This change is necessary under the current regulation because surgical procedures for morbid obesity, other than gastric bypass, gastric stapling, and gastroplasty, are not payable, even if the safety and efficacy of the procedures are comparable or superior to the established bariatric surgical procedures.  The law and regulation entitled TRICARE beneficiaries to medically necessary and appropriate carecare that is considered generally accepted norms for medical practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE: Delivery of Health Care in Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TRICARE has recognized the unique circumstances existing in Alaska which make the provision of medical care to TRICARE beneficiaries through the TRICARE program operated in the other 49 States unrealistic.  Recognizing these unique conditions and circumstances, the Department of Defense has conducted a demonstration project in the State of Alaska since implementation of the TRICARE program under which certain exceptions have been made for administration of the program in Alaska. This rule proposes to incorporate those demonstration exceptions as permanent changes to the administration of the TRICARE program in Alaska.  This rule proposes no change to the TRICARE benefit or to those who are eligible for it.  However, the rule does eliminate the financial underwriting of health care costs in the state of Alaska by a TRICARE contractor.  In addition, TRICARE Prime may be limited to those eligible beneficiaries enrolled to a military treatment facility and those eligible for TRICARE Prime Remote.]]></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 proposed 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 non-participating providers.]]></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 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.  These revisions are necessary because of the requirements contained in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) final rule for the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, part D plans with other prescription drug coverage. This rule also establishes requirements and procedures for implementation of the improvements to the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program directed by section 714 of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year  (FY) 2005 (NDAA FY 05) (Pub. L. 108-365).  The rule clarifies that the cost-sharing requirements for Medicare-eligible beneficiaries may not be in excess of the cost-sharing requirements applicable to other retirees, their dependents, former spouses, and survivors.  Additionally, the rule authorizes the Department of Defense (DoD) Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee (P&T) to make a separate and additional determination of the relative clinical and cost effectiveness of pharmaceutical agents that provide greater value than other uniform formulary agents in that therapeutic class.  This rule also describes the transition process that will occur as the uniform formulary is developed and uniform service facilities move to a uniform formulary, consistent with their scope of practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

Although section 701 states the Department "may" authorize forensic examinations following a sexual assault or domestic violence, section 1079(a) of title 10, United States Code, states the Department shall contract for such services described in the section and the types of health care shall be the same as authorized in military medical treatment facilities, thereby creating an entitlement to these services.  The entitlement includes forensic examination following sexual assault or domestic violence provided in civilian health care facilities (e.g., civilian rape crisis facilities).]]></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>

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>Student Rights in Research, Experimental Programs, and Testing</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 section 1061 of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) (Pub. L. 107-110).  Section 1017 of Goals 2000 amended PPRA to remove or amend certain terminology, to add a requirement that schools provide to parents effective notice of their rights under PPRA, and to include an enforcement provision.  Amendments made to PPRA by NCLB specify certain subjects on which local educational agencies, in consultation with parents, must develop and adopt policies.  The NCLB added another protected subject area ("religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or student's parent") to the list of subjects that cannot be revealed if a student is required to submit without parental consent to a "survey, analysis or evaluation" funded by the U.S. Department of Education or, in the case of a survey not funded by the Department, without notifying parents and providing them with an opportunity to opt out. 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[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.  EPA&apos;s schedule for issuing the Federal Guidelines is currently tentative, therefore DOE cannot project a date for the next action on this rulemaking.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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 intends 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>

EISA 2007 directs DOE to publish a final rule to determine whether the standards set for Class A external power supplies should be amended.   EISA 2007 also requires DOE to issue a final rule prescribing energy conservation standards for battery chargers, if technologically feasible and economically justified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards for General Service Fluorescent Lamps and Incandescent Lamps</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, establishes initial energy efficiency standard levels for fluorescent lamps and incandescent reflector lamps. EPCA also requires DOE to undertake two subsequent rulemakings to determine whether the standard for a covered product should be amended. This is the first review of the standards for fluorescent and incandescent lamps. Previously, this rulemaking had considered energy conservation standards for general service incandescent lamps, however the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 established standard levels for general service incandescent lamps and modified spectrum general service incandescent lamps which take effect between 2012 and 2014.  DOE is therefore no longer considering these lamps in this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. This rule will establish a methodology for ensuring compliance with applicable test procedures where there is no waiver in effect.]]></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 (71 FR 38799), the Secretary 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) established Federal energy conservation standards that generally correspond to the levels in ASHRAE Standard 90.1, as in effect on October 24, 1992 (ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1989), for each type of covered equipment listed in section 342(a) of EPCA.  For each type of equipment, EPCA directed that if ASHRAE Standard 90.1 is amended, DOE must adopt an amended standard at the new efficiency level in ASHRAE Standard 90.1, unless clear and convincing evidence supports a determination that adoption of a more stringent level as a national standard would produce significant additional energy savings and be technologically feasible and economically justified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards for Commercial Clothes Washers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPACT) requires DOE to determine whether the existing standards for commercial clothes washers should be amended.  Commercial clothes washers were previously included in a rulemaking with residential electric and gas ranges and ovens and Microwave ovens. On October 17, 2008, DOE published a NPRM for these products (73 FR 62034). Commenters subsequently alleged certain data problems affecting DOE's rulemaking analyses.  DOE's preliminary assessment suggests that these concerns may be valid, thereby necessitating additional, supplemental rulemaking analyses. DOE is  separating the commercial clothes washers energy conservation standard from the cooking products rulemaking and plans to issue standards for commercial clothes washers by the statutory deadline.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to require that any final rules establishing or revising a standard for a residential product adopted after July 1, 2010 incorporate standby and off mode energy use.  In addition, EISA amends EPCA to allow the Secretary to consider the establishment of separate standards by geographic region for residential air conditioners and heat pumps.  In a related rulemaking, DOE is scheduled to issue energy conservation standards for residential air conditioners and heat pumps no later than June 2011.  DOE is reviewing the test procedures for these products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for Electric Motors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 1992 amended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to direct the Secretary of Energy to 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 (71 FR 38799), the Secretary published a positive determination for small electric motors, and is now developing test procedures for those motors in this rulemaking.  In addition, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 amended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to expand the scope of covered and regulated electric motors.  DOE will be reviewing and amending the test procedures for electric motors to ensure the applicability of the test procedure to the newly covered types, as well as to ensure that DOE is using the appropriate versions of industry standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Electric and Gas Ranges and Ovens and Microwave Ovens, and Commercial Clothes Washers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, establishes initial energy efficiency standard levels for many types of major residential appliances and generally requires DOE to undertake two subsequent rulemakings, at specified times, to determine whether the extant standard for a covered product should be amended. 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 is also considering establishing energy efficiency standards for commercial clothes washers, as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which further amended EPCA. Previously, this rulemaking also included dishwashers and dehumidifiers. Because the Energy Independence Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) prescribed standards for dishwashers and dehumidifiers, they have been removed from the rulemaking.]]></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>Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title 10 CFR 850 "Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program" was issued on December 8, 1999, to reduce the number of workers currently exposed to beryllium in the course of their work at DOE facilities managed by DOE or its contractors; to minimize the levels of, and potential for, exposure to beryllium; and to establish medical surveillance requirements to ensure early detection of the disease.  The rule includes monitoring and collecting data on workers' jobs, exposures, and health status. The DOE now has over seven years of job, exposure, and health data, as well as experience implementing the rule, since its full compliance dated of January 7, 2002.  The DOE has identified several improvements that will render the rule better aligned to workers risks, more complete in addressing workers risks in more types of spaces, and more efficient to implement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These amendments ensure that DOE Protective Force (PF) medical and fitness requirements are consistent with the Privacy Act and 10 CFR part 1008, and with policy changes made since the publication of the last version of this rule.  The amendments also ensure that PF personnel are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and only on their ability to perform the essential functions of their positions without posing a direct threat to themselves or others, the facility, or the general public. The amendments further ensure that reasonable accommodations are considered before there is a determination that an individual cannot perform the essential functions of a particular position. Finally, the amendments provide new medical review processes that are available to provide for due process should PF personnel be disqualified from medical certification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Vaccine Compensation Program: Separate Category for Hepatitis A, Influenza, Meningococcal, Human Papillomavirus Vaccines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Health and Human Services proposes to change the Vaccine Injury Table (Table) to create separate categories for hepatitis A, trivalent influenza, meningococcal and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. When a vaccine is recommended for routine administration to children by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and after an excise tax is imposed on it by Congress, a vaccine is added to the Table under the new vaccines category (Category XIII). These four vaccines have been recommended for routine administration to children by the CDC and have had an excise tax imposed on them. Notices were published informing the public that these four vaccines have been added to the Table under Category XIII. The next step is that new vaccines are added as their own separate categories, with associated injuries/conditions, including the time periods in which the first symptoms or significant aggravation of such injuries/conditions must occur, if applicable, once the Secretary goes through the rulemaking process. In the past, such injuries/conditions have been added based on extensive scientific reviews of medical literature for adverse events following vaccination. Because reviews for these vaccines are not expected until 2011, at the earliest, we are proceeding with rulemaking to add these four vaccines as their own separate categories in order to make clear the four vaccines are covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Once results of the scientific reviews are published, additional rulemaking may be necessary, if certain conditions are viewed by the Department as appropriate for inclusion on the Table, including the relevant time periods of onset.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Health Center Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) Medical Malpractice Program Regulations-Clarification of FTCA Coverage for Services Provided to Non-Health Center Patients</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) proposes amending regulations at 42 CFR Part 6 (FTCA Coverage of Certain Grantees and Individuals) to include additional examples of Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA)-covered activities. Recently, questions have arisen regarding the scope of FTCA regulations as they affect medical malpractice coverage for FTCA-deemed health centers and non-health center patients.  

Section 6.6(e) of the Health Center FTCA Program regulations provides examples of situations within the scope of section 6.6(d) (which authorizes FTCA medical malpractice coverage for non-health center patients). These examples include certain community-wide interventions and hospital-related activities where the health centers health care practitioners will be covered for services provided to non-health center patients.  

To ensure that deemed health center providers are covered by the FTCA for services provided to non-health center patients in individual emergency situations, HRSA proposes adding an additional example of a situation where a health center provider would be covered under the FTCA for services provided to a non-health center patient.  Specifically, the example that we propose be added as 42 CFR 6.6(e)(4) is:

'A health center provider is acting to provide care to a health center patient (and such care is part of the approved scope of project of the center) and the provider is then asked, as the result of a non-health center patients emergency situation, to temporarily treat or assist in treating that non-health center patient at that location.  The health center has documentation (such as employee manual provisions, health center bylaws, or employee contract) that the provision of individual emergency treatment (when the practitioner is already on-site acting to provide care to health center patients) is a condition of employment at the health center.'

In addition, we propose that some additional examples previously provided in a September 25, 1995 Federal Register Notice (Vol. 60, pp. 49417-8) be added to the examples in the regulations.  The examples relate to community-wide interventions, hospital-related activities, and coverage-related activities. 

We plan to provide at least a 60-day comment period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 100-93 amended section 1921 of the Social Security Act to require that each State has 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>Designation of Medically Underserved Populations and Health Professional Shortage Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would consolidate the processes for designating areas of health professional shortage (HPSAs) and areas of medical underservice (MUAs) that apply in several Department programs, and would improve the criteria for designating medically underserved populations and Primary Care HPSAs.  An NPRM was published on September 1, 1998, and due to extensive comments received, a notice was published on June 3, 1999 which announced the decision to publish a new NPRM for public comment.   The second NPRM was published on February 29, 2008, with the comment period extended twice (first on April 21, 2008, and again on June 2, 2008).  Substantial comments were received that must be reviewed and considered on development of modifications to the rule.  A Federal Register Notice published on July 23, 2008 announced the agency decision to review and develop a modified proposal and publish another NPRM at a future date.  Options are currently under development and consideration.
 
This rule would consolidate the processes for designating areas of health professional shortage (HPSAs) and areas of medical underservice (MUAs) that apply in several Department programs, and would improve the criteria for designating medically underserved populations and Primary Care HPSAs.  An NPRM was published on September 1, 1998, and due to extensive comments received, a notice was published on June 3, 1999 which announced the decision to publish a new NPRM for public comment.   The second NPRM was published on February 29, 2008, with the comment period extended twice (first on April 21, 2008, and again on June 2, 2008).   Substantial comments were received that must be reviewed and considered on development of modifications to the rule.  A Federal Register Notice published on July 23, 2008 announced agency decision to review and develop modified proposal and publish another NPRM at a future date.  Options are currently under development and consideration.
 
Historically, a variety of methodologies have been used by a variety of Federal and state programs to target resources to underserved populations, including MUAs and HPSAs.  MUAs have not been updated in many cases for over 20 years, and therefore, may not reflect current conditions in many areas.  Statutory citations above provide the legal foundation for the existing designations. While there is no statutory requirement to update MUAs, there is a requirement to update HPSAs.  However, there is no requirement to update the HPSA  methodology.  Alternatives are to continue to use the existing methodologies or develop another new approach for one or the other.  Anticipated costs are minimal, in part, because the infrastructure is already in place for designations, and it would just take a different approach.  No direct impact is expected on most major programs that use the designations, whose funding levels depend on appropriations. There is potential impact on Medicare Incentive Payments (MIP), but it is relatively small, and depending on the results of the model selected, could increase or decrease payments.  
 
Potential benefits and risks of an updated methodology: A benefit would be improved targeting of resources (grants and health professionals) to areas and populations with demonstrated need for assistance to assure access to health care services. A risk would be that some areas currently qualified for some programs could lose eligibility based on lower relative need.]]></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>Food Labeling: Safe Handling Statements, Labeling of Shell Eggs; Refrigeration of Shell Eggs Held for Retail Distribution</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 101.17(h) (21 CFR 101.17(h)) describes requirements for the labeling of the cartons of shell eggs that have not been treated to destroy Salmonella microorganisms.  Section 115. 50 (21 CFR 115.50) describes requirements for refrigeration of shell eggs held for retail distribution.  Section 16.5(a)(4) provides that part 16 does not apply to a hearing on an order for relabeling, diversion, or destruction if shell eggs under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264) and sections 101.17(h) and 115.50.  FDA amended 21 CFR 101.17(h) on August 20, 2007 (72 FR 46375) to permit the safe handling statement to appear on the inside lid of egg cartons to provide the industry greater flexibility in the placement of the statement.  FDA is undertaking a review of 21 CFR sections 101.17(h), 115.50, and 16.5(a)(4) under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.  The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulations in sections 101.17(h), 115.50 and 16.5(a)(4) 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 rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule from the public; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible, with State and local governmental rules; and (5) the length of time since the rule has been evaluated or the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration is proposing to amend the regulations governing the format in which clinical study data and bioequivalence data are required to be submitted for new drug applications (NDAs), biological license applications (BLAs), and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs).  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to publish a proposed rule related to the implementation of the import tolerances provision of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996 (ADAA). The ADAA authorizes FDA to establish tolerances for residues of unapproved new animal drugs in food of animal origin imported into the United States (import tolerances).  It is unlawful to import animal-derived food that bears or contains residues of a new animal drug that is not approved in the United States, unless FDA has estalished an import tolerance for that new animal drug and the residue does not exceed that tolerance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 is intended to ensure consistency and appropriateness in the regulation of combination products. 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.]]></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 that a combination product is subject primarily to the reporting requirements associated with the type of marketing application under which the product is approved or cleared.  In addition, the proposed rule identifies unique reporting provisions that must be complied with if applicable.  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[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its postmarket medical device reporting regulations to require that manufacturers, importers, and user facilities submit mandatory reports of medical device adverse events to the Agency in an electronic format 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>

        <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 greater 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 regulations at 21 CFR part 807 to reflect the electronic submission requirements in section 510(p) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act).  Section 510(p) was added to the Act by section 207 of the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA), and later amended in September 2007 by section 224 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA).  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 registration and listing to a paperless process. However, 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.  The proposed rule also would amend part 807 to reflect the timeframes for device establishment registration and listing established by sections 222 and 223 of FDAAA, and to reflect the requirement in section 510(i) of the Act, as amended by section 321 of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act (BT Act), that foreign establishments provide FDA with additional pieces of information as part of their registration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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,  and 600.81) 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>

        <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 (FDA) 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 (PL 101-535), which amended section 403 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 343) 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 certification-exempt color additives on the labels of animal food.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Current Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations for Finished Pharmaceuticals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) periodically reassesses and revises the cGMP regulations to accommodate advances in technology and other scientific knowledge that further safeguard the drug manufacturing process and the public health. In August 2002, FDA announced the Pharmaceutical cGMPs for the 21st Century Initiative. As part of the Initiative, FDA created a cGMP Harmonization Analysis Working Group to analyze related cGMP requirements in the United States and internationally. The cGMP working group compared 21 CFR parts 210 and 211 with the cGMPs of the European Union, as well as other FDA regulations (such as the Quality Systems Regulation in 21 CFR part 820) to identify differences and consider the value of supplementing or changing the current regulations. Based on the cGMP Working Group's analysis, FDA decided to take an incremental approach to modifying 21 CFR parts 210 and 211. In September of 2008, FDA published a final rule revising the cGMP regulations primarily in the areas of aseptic processing, use of asbestos filters, and verification of operations by a second individual; this final rule represented the culmination of the first increment of modifications to the cGMP regulations. The proposed rule identified on this Unified Agenda would begin the second increment of modifications to the cGMP regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Publication of this final rule was 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.  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reclassifying pressure regulators for use with medical oxygen from class I to class II, establishing a separate classification for oxygen conserving devices, and establishing a special control for these devices to address problems of fire and explosion associated with use of these devices. The special control will be a guidance document that includes standardized testing, performance, and labeling guidance for industry. Devices that meet the standard identified in the special controls guidance document will be exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act).  The requirements of the final rule will be phased-in to minimize the cost of complying with the special control.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Gas Containers and Closures; Current Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration is amending 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 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 Under an Investigational New Drug Application</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 (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 Government Accountability Office (previously, 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>

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.

        <RULE_TITLE>Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed To Prevent the Transmission of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.  FDA is correcting the final rule on BSE that appeared in the Federal Register of April 25, 2008 (73 FR 22719-22758). The final rule inadvertently published with incorrect dollar amounts in two separate areas: the summary of economic impacts and the paperwork burden table.]]></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.   

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.

On April 17, 2008, FDA amended the IFR so that FDA may designate a country as not subject to certain BSE-related restrictions relating to prohibited cattle materials applicable to human food and cosmetics.

Comments submitted in response to the July 14, 2004 IFR that were not addressed in the September 7, 2005 and April 17, 2008 amendments will be addressed in the final rule.  The final rule also will respond to comments submitted following the September 7, 2005 and April 17, 2008 amendments.]]></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>Label Requirement for Food That Has Been Refused Admission Into the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will require owners or consignees to label imported food that is refused entry into the United States.  The label will read, "UNITED STATES: REFUSED ENTRY." The proposal describes 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Medical products using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances may only be legally marketed if they are listed in 21 CFR part 2.125 as "essential uses."  This final rule would remove the essential use designations after a specified date for metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) containing flunisolide, triamcinolone, metaproterenol, pirbuterol, albuterol and ipratropium in combination, cromolyn, and nedocromil.  Under the provisions of this final rule, these MDIs would have to be removed from the market.  This final rule is consistent with obligations under the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer.]]></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 USC 360ccc-1, 360ccc-2, 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 amending 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>Premarketing Safety Reporting Requirements for Human Drug and Biological Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule would amend the premarketing safety reporting requirements for human drugs and biological products to codify the Agency's expectations for timely acquisition, evaluation, and submission of relevant and useful safety information, to improve the overall quality of safety reporting, to implement internationally consistent definitions, to subject bioavailability and bioequivalence studies to safety reporting requirements, and to make other minor revisions.  These revisions were proposed as part of a single rulemaking (68 FR 12406) to clarify and revise both premarketing and postmarketing safety reporting requirements for human drug and biological products.  FDA plans to finalize the premarket and postmarket safety reporting requirements in separate final rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) requires that FDA publish a list of all authorized generic drugs identified in an annual report since 1999, and that the agency update the list quarterly.  The final rule would, among other things, require submission of a copy of the portion of annual reports containing the authorized generic information identified in FDAAA to a central office in FDA that compiles and updates the list, to permit easier identification of the information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Current Good Manufacturing Practice in Manufacturing, Packing, Labeling, or Holding Operations for 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 34752), 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>

        <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[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending 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 Government Accountability Office (previously, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exceptions or Alternatives to Labeling Requirements for Products Held by the Strategic National Stockpile</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA issued 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 FDA 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 FDA 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>Conditional Approval of New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and Minor Species</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule implements section 571 of the Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004 (MUMS Act).  The MUMS act added three sections to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) (571, 572, and 573), and it established new regulatory procedures intended to make more medications legally available to veterinarians and animal owners for the treatment of minor animal species, as well as uncommon diseases in major animal species.  Section 571 of the Act provides for animal drug conditional approval after all safety and manufacturing components of a new animal drug approval have met the standards of section 512 of the Act.  For the effectiveness component of a new animal drug review, a reasonable expectation of effectiveness must be established prior to conditional approval under section 571 of the Act.  Sponsors then have up to 5 years to complete the demonstration of effectiveness by the standards of section 512 of the Act and achieve a complete new animal drug approval.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Animal Drugs: Updating Tolerances for Residues in New Animal Drugs in Food</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is proposing to revise 21 CFR 556 to reformat the listings of tolerances for residues of approved new animal drugs in food.  This revision will standardize, simplify, and clarify these listings, and improve the readability of the regulations.

Currently, part 556 employs a patchwork of various styles for listing tolerances that have evolved over the past 40 years as each additional animal drug has been approved.  The listings in part 556 are not uniform in format, and FDA does not always provide relevant information in a clear and straightforward manner.  For example, FDA provides the acceptable daily intake (ADI) and safe concentrations for some, but not all drugs; FDA lists some tolerances as being for "negligible" residues, and FDA presents some listings in a text paragraph format while others are presented in outline form.  Moreover, sometimes FDA specifies no residue,  zero tolerance, or tolerance not required but does not define or make distinction between these important terms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Obstetrical and Gynecological Devices; Designation of Special Controls for Male Condoms Made of Natural Rubber Latex</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The classification regulation for 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 addressing the issues identified in the guidance, either by following the recommendations in the guidance or by some other means that provide equivalent assurances of safety and effectiveness, 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[Medical products using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances may only be legally marketed if they are listed in 21 CFR part 2.125 as "essential uses."  The final rule would remove the essential use designations after a specified date for metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) containing epinephrine.  Under the provisions of this final rule, these MDIs would have to be removed from the market.  This rulemaking is consistent with obligations under the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Labeling; Serving Sizes and Nutrition Labeling </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 101.9 (21 CFR 101.9) describes the nutrition labeling requirements for foods.  Section 101.12 (21 CFR 101.12) specifies the reference amount customarily consumed per eating occasion for each food category.  The reference amount customarily consumed of a food is the basis for the serving size that is declared in the food's nutrition labeling.  Under section 101.9, the serving size must be expressed in a common household measure that is appropriate to the food.  The most recent change to sections 101.9 and 101.12 was in 1999, when FDA amended these regulations to reduce the reference amount customarily consumed for baking powder, baking soda, and pectin, and to include 1/8 teaspoon as an allowable unit of household measure for nutrition labeling purposes.  FDA has completed a review of sections 101.9 and 101.12 under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The purpose of this review was 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 solicited 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.  FDA received no comments and concluded that there is a continuing need for the nutrition labeling and serving size regulations in sections 101.9 and 101.12 and that these regulations should be retained without change.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Foreign Quarantine Regulations, Proposed Revision of HHS/CDC Animal Importation Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.  The Secretary has designated the authority to prevent the introduction of diseases from foreign countries to the Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  CDC also enforces entry requirements for certain animals, etiologic agents and vectors deemed to be of public health significance.  Currently the regulations restrict the importation of nonhuman primates, dogs, cats, small turtles, etiologic agents, hosts and vectors, such as bats (42 CFR sections 71.53, 71.51, 71.52, 71.54).  In addition, CDC has recently issued a series of emergency orders, restricting the importation of African rodents (42 CFR section 71.56) and civets (67 FR 3364-01).  CDC is issuing this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to revise the regulations for importation of certain animals and vectors into the Unite States (42 CFR parts 71, Subpart F).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Communicable Diseases: Foreign Quarantine Regulations, Proposed Revision of HHS/CDC Nonhuman Primate Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. The Secretary has delegated the authority to prevent the introduction of diseases from foreign countries to the Director, CDC. CDC also enforces entry requirements for certain animals, etiologic agents, and vectors deemed to be of public health significance. CDC is proposing to amend its regulations related to the importation of live nonhuman primates (NHPs) by extending existing requirements for the importation of cynomolgus, African green, and rhesus monkeys to all NHPs.  The agency also is proposing to reduce the frequency at which importers of the three species are required to renew their registrations, (from every 180 days to every two years).  CDC proposes to incorporate existing guidelines into the regulations and add new provisions to address NHPs imported as part of a circus or trained animal act, NHPs imported by zoological societies, the transfer of NHPs from approved laboratories, and non-live imported NHP products.  CDC is also proposing that all NHPs be imported only through ports of entry where a CDC quarantine station is located.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Examination of Aliens: Removal of HIV Infection as a Communicable Disease of Public Health Significance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the authority of section 212(a)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and section 325 of the Public Health Service Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services promulgates regulations outlining the requirements for the medical examination of aliens and a list of any communicable disease of public health significance that make aliens ineligible for entry into the United States. HIV is currently included in this list of communicable diseases as defined in 42 CFR part 34: Medical Examination of Aliens. CDC is proposing to remove HIV as a communicable disease of public health significance in 42 CFR part 34.2(b).  This action aligns with an amendment in the United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008, signed on July 30, 2008, that removed language in the Immigration and Nationality Act that explicitly prohibited HIV-positive non-citizens from entering the United States without a visa waiver.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Examination of Aliens</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CDC is amending its regulations that govern medical examinations that aliens must undergo before they may be admitted to the United States. Specifically, HHS/CDC is amending its regulations to update vaccination requirements, definitional changes for drug abuse and drug addition, scope of medical examination and revise outdated diseases from the list of communicable diseases of public health significance.   We are taking this action to afford CDC the maximum flexibility it needs to identify and respond to newly emerging and re-emerging diseases. These changes are 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 These changes will reduce the health-security threat to the United States from emerging diseases without imposing an undue burden on either the aliens or the health-care system in U.S. resettlement communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

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. This rule (42 CFR part 71) will update and improve CDCs response to both global and domestic disease threats by
creating a multi-tiered illness detection and response process thus substantially
enhancing the public health systems ability to slow the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable disease. The rule will also modify current Federal regulations governing the apprehension, quarantine isolation and conditional release of individuals suspected of carrying a quarantinable disease while respecting
individual autonomy.  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By statute, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has broad authority to prevent introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases 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 CDC Director has been delegated the responsibility for carrying out these regulations. The Director's authority to investigate suspected cases and potential spread of communicable disease among interstate travelers is thus not limited to those known or suspected of having a quarantinable disease, but rather all communicable diseases that may necessitate a public health response. 

Among the fundamental components of the public health response to the report of a person with a communicable disease is the identification and evaluation of individuals who may have been exposed. This provision, which was proposed section 70.4, would require any airline operating in interstate traffic to solicit and electronically submit certain passenger information to CDC for use in contact tracing when necessary to protect the vital interests of an individual, or other persons, in regard to significant health risks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The biological agents and toxins listed in section 73.3 of title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations have been determined by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety.  On October 20, 2005, we published in the Federal Register an interim final rule adding the reconstructed replication competent forms of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus containing any portion of the coding regions of all eight gene segments to the list of HHS select agents and toxins.  Based on public comments we received, we are proposing to revise the entry for the 1918 pandemic influenza virus from reconstructed replication competent forms of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus containing any portion of the coding regions of all eight gene segments to Chimeric influenza viruses containing gene segments from the 1918 pandemic influenza strain.  We are also proposing to add SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) to the list of HHS select agents and toxins. We are proposing this action because SARS-CoV (1) causes significant mortality, especially in the elderly; (2) has the capability of easily being transmitted from human to human; (3) there is currently no method to treat or prevent infections caused by the SARS-CoV virus; and (4) it has been documented that the virus may persist in the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Possession, Use, and Transfer of Select Agents and Toxins (Sars-CoV)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The biological agents and toxins listed in section 73.3 of title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations have been determined by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety.  We are also proposing to add SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) of HHS select agents and toxins.  We are proposing this action because SARS-CoV (1) causes significant mortality, especially in the elderly; (2) has the capability of easily to transmit from human to human; (3) there is currently no method to treat or prevent infections caused by the SARS-CoV virus; and (4) it has been documented that the virus persists in the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Possession, Use and Transfer of Select Agents and Toxins</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 authorizes the HHS Secretary to regulate the possession, use, and transfer of select agents and toxins that have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety.  These regulations are set forth at 42 CFR 73.  Criteria used to determine whether a select agent or toxin should be included under the provisions of these regulations are based on:  1) the effect on human health as a reuslt of exposure to the agent or toxin, 2) the degree of contagiousness of the agent or toxin, 3) the methods by which the agent or toxin is transferred to humans, 4) the availability and effectiveness of pharmacotherapies and immunizations to treat and prevent andy illness resulting from infection by the agent or toxin, and 5) any other criteria, including the needs of children and other vulnerable populations that the HHS Secretary considers appropriate.  Based on these criteria, we are proposing to amend  the list of HHS select agents and toxins by adding Chapare virus to the list.  After consulting with subject matter experts from CDC, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) /Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), USDA/Agricultural Research Service (ARS), USDA/CVB (Center for Veterinary Biologics), and the Department of Defense (DOD)/United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and review of relevant published studies, we believe the Chapare virus should be added to the list of HHS select agents and toxins based on our conclusion that the Chapare virus has been phylogenetically identified as a Clade B arenavirus and is closely related to other South American arenaviruses that cause haemorrhagic fever, particularly Sabia virus.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Regulation of the Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for Which PHS Funding Is Sought and Responsible Prospective Contractors; Request for Comments </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Public Health Service (PHS), a component of DHHS, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), proposes to issue an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to seek comments from the public on whether DHHS should amend the regulations on the Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for Which Public Health Service Funding Is Sought (42 CFR part 50 subpart F) and Responsible Prospective Contractors (45 CFR part 94). The existing regulations provide standards to ensure that there is no reasonable expectation that the design, conduct, and reporting of PHS-funded research will be biased by a conflicting financial interest of an investigator.  Since the regulations' publication in 1995, biomedical research has progressively become more complex, the Federal Government, PHS-funded institutions and researchers, and the private sector have increasingly interacted in an effort to meet common public health goals, and recent public scrutiny has raised the question of whether a more rigorous approach to investigator disclosure, management of conflicts, and Federal oversight is required.]]></ABSTRACT>

Additional notices of Proposed Revisions to the Mandatory Guidelines addressing the use of point of collection testing (POCT), oral fluid testing, sweat patch testing, hair testing, and associated issues will be published at a later date.  With regard to the use of alternative specimens including hair, oral fluid, and sweat patch specimens in Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs, significant issues have been raised by Federal agencies during the review process which require further examination, and may require additional study and analysis.  As part of the review process for these alternative tests, the Department plans to issue a notice in the Federal Register requesting information and assistance from the general public to provide or identify data and research findings that address specific areas of interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

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[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>MedicChanges in Conditions of Participation Requirements and Payment Provisions for Rural Health Clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers (CMS-1910-F2)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This nonmajor final rule reissues the final rule published December 24, 2003, with modifications. This final rule amends the Medicare certification and payment requirements for rural health clinics (RHCs), as required by section 4205 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.  It changes the definition of a qualifying rural shortage area in which a Medicare RHC must be located; establishes criteria for identifying RHCs essential to delivery of primary care services that we can continue to approve as Medicare RHCs in areas no longer designated medically underserved; and limits nonphysician practitioner staffing requirements.  This rule imposes payment limits on provider-based RHCs and prohibits the use of RHC space, professional staff, equipment, and other RHC resources by another Medicare entity.  The rule also requires RHCs to establish a quality assessment and performance improvement program. In addition, we are finalizing new policy revisions to the RHC and FQHC programs to improve and strengthen this rural safety net benefit that addresses section 5114 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Improvement Eligibility Group and Definition of Work (CMS-2143-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is a nonmajor proposed rule.  In order to provide health services to employed individuals whose medical conditions have improved to the point where they are no longer eligible for disability benefits, this proposed rule would provide a definition of "medically determinable severe impairment" under the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (Ticket to Work).  Under this definition, States can determine eligibility standards for the Medical Improvement Group authorized under the Ticket to Work law, thereby permitting individuals to retain their Medicaid coverage.  Additionally, this proposed rule would give States offering Medicaid buy-in programs for employed individuals with disabilities the option of selecting a minimum work standard for participation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This major 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will permit a waiver of a nurse aide training disapproval as it applies to skilled nursing facilities, in the Medicare program, and nursing facilities, in the Medicaid program, that are assessed a civil money penalty of at least $5,000 for noncompliance that is not related to quality of care. This is a statutory provision enacted by section 932 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108-173, enacted December 8, 2003.)  This rule also codifies statutory provisions at sections 1819(g)(1)(D) and 1919(g)(1)(D) of the Social Security Act that permit the State to establish a procedure for a nurse aide to petition the State to have a singular finding of neglect removed from the nurse aide registry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Long-Term Care Prospective Payment System Based on Specific Provisions in the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (CMS-1493-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements provisions of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 relating to long-term care hospitals.  In addition to amending section 1861 of the Act with a new definition of LTCHs, this rule  includes provisions  that are effective on the date of enactment (December 29, 2007). Specifically, the statute imposes a 3-year delay in implementation of certain payment policies that set percentage thresholds for LTCH patients admitted from certain referring hospitals and raises the percentage threshold for those LTCHs unaffected by the 3-year delay.  The legislation imposes the same 3-year delay on the implementation of a particular payment adjustment for short-stay patients and also for the possible application of a one-time adjustment to the standard Federal rate. The statute also required a change in the Federal rate for RY 2008, (effective April 1, 2008). Additionally, the statute created a 3-year moratorium on the establishment of new LTCHs and LTCH satellites and on bed expansion in existing LTCHs, subject to significant exceptions.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Principles for Determining Costs at Hospitals Under Federal Grants, Contracts, and Cooperative Agreements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice of proposed rulemaking will publish for a thirty-day comment period revisions to 45 CFR part 74, appendix E:  Principles for Determining Costs at Hospitals Under Federal Grants, Contracts, and Cooperative Agreements (hereinafter referred to as the Hospital Cost Principles or HCP.)  It is the culmination of a comprehensive review process begun in 2005 and incorporates relevant elements of the Office of Management and Budget circulars for Colleges and Universities (OMB Circular A-21), Non-Profit Institutions (OMB Circular A-122), and State and Local Governments (OMB Circular A-87).  These other principles were revised by OMB in the early 1990's, but the Hospital Cost Principles were not.

This NPRM is subsequent to the recent final rule that clearly establishes the Department of Health and Human Services as the proponent agency for appendix E of 45 CFR part 74.  With that authority is the inherent responsibility to review and revise the document as well as approve and deny requests for waiver to those Hospital Cost Principles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rescission of Interest Prohibition in the Principles for Determining Costs at Hospitals Under Federal Grants, Contracts, and Cooperative Agreements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) would rescind the current prohibition against interest as an allowable expense.  The recision applies only to interest endured for new construction, facility acquisitions and interest debt to acquire or replace facility acquisitions.  It makes the Hospital Cost Principles consistent with the Office of Management and Budget circulars for Colleges and Universities (OMB Circular A-21), Non-Profit Institutions (OMB Circular A-122), and State and Local Governments (OMB Circular A-87) concerning the allowance of interest debt.

These other principles were revised in the early 1990's, but the Hospital Cost Principles were not.  In 2000, the current interest request waiver process was established as a temporary practice to align the Hospital Cost Principles with A-21 and A-87 until a permanent revision could be published.  Since then, twelve such waivers have been granted by the Department. The standards in this NPRM would be the same as those in A-21 and A-87.

This NPRM establish the Department of Health and Human Services as the proponent agency for appendix E of 45 CFR part 74 with inherent responsibility to review, approve, and deny requests for waiver to Hospital Cost Principles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule establishes a new safe harbor for risk-sharing arrangements under the Federal health care programs' anti-kickback provisions. The rule sets forth an exception from liability for remuneration between an eligible organization and an individual or entity providing items or services in accordance with a written agreement between these parties. The rule allows remuneration between an organization and an individual or entity if a written agreement places the individual or entity at "substantial financial risk" for the cost or utilization of the items or services that the individual or entity is obligated to provide.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Global Health Affairs within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued this final rule to clarify that recipients of HHS funds to implement HIV/AIDS programs and activities under the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Act of 2003 (the Leadership Act), Public Law 108-25 (May 27, 2003), that are required to have a policy opposing prostitution and sex trafficking, and must submit certification of this policy with the grant or contract application, may, consistent with this policy requirement, maintain an affiliation with organizations that do not have such a policy, provided such affiliations do not threaten the integrity of the Government's programs and its message opposing prostitution and sex trafficking.  The rule describes the separation that must exist between a recipient of HHS HIV/AIDS funds that has a policy opposing prostitution and sex trafficking, as required under section 301(f) of the Leadership Act, 22 U.S.C. 7631(f), and another organization that engages in activities that are not consistent with a policy opposing prostitution and sex trafficking.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking action will amend DHSs FOIA regulations including those provisions governing information subject to Privacy Act exemptions and procedures for verification of the identity of Privacy Act requesters. FOIA provides for the disclosure of agency records to the public unless that information is exempt under clearly delineated statutory language. The Privacy Act regulates the collection, maintenance, use, and dissemination of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) maintained by agencies and departments of the Executive Branch, including DHS. The procedures established here would assist the Department in satisfying its responsibilities to the public to disclose Departmental information while at the same time safeguarding individual privacy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will supplement the Executive Branch-Wide Standards of Ethical Conduct for employees of the Department of Homeland Security.  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>

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>Prohibition on Federal Protective Service Guard Services Contracts With Business Concerns Owned, Controlled, or Operated by an Individual Convicted of a Felony (HSAR Case 2009-001) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DHS is proposing to amend the Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) to prohibit DHS from awarding a Federal Protective Service (FPS) contract for guard services to a business concern that is owned, controlled, or operated by an individual who has been convicted of a felony.  The rule is necessary to implement the provisions of Public Law 110-356, the Federal Protective Service Guard Contracting Reform Act of 2008.  The proposed rule would implement this prohibition, identify which serious felonies may prohibit a contractor from being awarded a contract; require contractors to provide information regarding any relevant felony convictions when submitting bids or proposals; provide guidelines for the contracting officer to assess present responsibility, mitigating factors, and the risk associated with the previous conviction, and allow the contracting officer to award a contract under certain circumstances.  The rule proposes that felonies which cast doubt on the integrity or business ethics of a business concern or are of a nature that is inconsistent with the mission of FPS will prohibit a business concern from being awarded an FPS contract for guard services.]]></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>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 amends 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Regulatory Provisions Regarding Refugee and Asylee Relative Petitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to clarify who is authorized to represent applicants and petitioners in proceedings before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and to change the rules and procedures concerning the standards of professional conduct for attorneys and other practitioners who appear before the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in immigration proceedings.  Current regulations set forth who may represent individuals in immigration proceedings and also set forth the rules and procedures for imposing disciplinary sanctions against attorneys or other practitioners who engage in criminal, unethical, frivolous, or unprofessional conduct before DHS.  The proposed revisions are necessary due to the creation of DHS and reflect the adjudication authority of immigration proceedings before both DHS and the United States Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).  The changes proposed are intended to maintain the integrity of the adjudicatory processes for DHS by updating and improving the rules of professional conduct for practitioners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration Requirements for Employment-Based Categories Subject to Numerical Limitations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security is proposing to amend its regulations governing petitions filed on behalf of alien workers subject to annual numerical limitations.  This rule proposes an electronic registration program for petitions subject to numerical limitations contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act).  Initially, the program would be for the H-1B nonimmigrant classification; however, other nonimmigrant classifications will be added as needed.  This action is necessary because the demand for H-1B specialty occupation workers by U.S. companies generally exceeds the numerical limitation.  This rule is intended to allow USCIS to more efficiently manage the intake and lottery process for these H-1B petitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Documents and Receipts Acceptable for Employment Eligibility Verification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes amendments to regulations governing the types of acceptable identity and employment authorization documents and receipts that employees may present to their employers for completion of the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.  This rule also proposes removing any documents that are not State-issued from the list of documents acceptable for proof of identity (List B documents).  The effect of the proposed changes would be to improve the integrity of the employment eligibility verification process by simplifying the list of acceptable documents for ease of use by employers, ensuring that the list contains secure and fraud-resistant documents, and adding safeguards to the verification process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Transitional Nonimmigrant Investor Classification 
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 8, 2008, Public Law 110-229, Commonwealth Natural Resources Act,  established a transitional period for the application of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).  Although the CNMI is subject to most U.S. laws, the CNMI has administered its own immigration system under the terms of its 1976 covenant with the United States. The Department of Homeland Security is proposing to amend its regulations by creating a new E2 CNMI Investor classification for the duration of the transition period.  These temporary provisions are necessary to reduce the potential harm to the CNMI economy before these foreign workers and investors are required to convert into U.S. immigrant or nonimmigrant visa classifications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Federal Immigration Regulations for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; Conforming Regulations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule implements various CNMI provisions of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA) by removing reference to the CNMI as a territory or possession of the United States and inserting CNMI in all references to the geographical "United States."  This rule also proposes that employers in CNMI be permitted for employment eligibility verification purposes to accept certain CNMI-issued documents as evidence of both identity and work authorization for a 2-year period starting from the Transition Program effective date.  This rule further proposes to specify that the provisions of section 208 and section 209(b) of the Immigration Nationality Act (the Act) shall not apply to persons present or arriving in the CNMI during the transition period.  Furthermore, this rule proposes specifications to the inspection, admission and/or removal of aliens as it pertains to referral to an immigration judge in the CNMI during and after the transition period.

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of the Immigration and Naturalization Benefit Application and Petition Fee Schedule
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will adjust the fee schedule for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) immigration and naturalization benefit applications and petitions, including nonimmigrant applications and visa petitions.  These fees fund the cost of processing applications and petitions for immigration benefits and services, and USCIS associated operating costs.  USCIS is revising these fees because the current fee schedule does not adequately recover the full costs of services provided by USCIS.  Without an adjustment of the fee schedule, USCIS cannot provide adequate capacity to process all applications and petitions in a timely and efficient manner.  The fee review is undertaken pursuant to the requirements of the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (CFO Act), 31 U.S.C. 901-03.  The CFO Act requires each agencys Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to review, on a biennial basis, the fees, royalties, rents, and other charges imposed by the agency for services and things of value it provides, and make recommendations on revising those charges to reflect costs incurred by it in providing those services and things of value.  Id. at 902(a)(8).  This rule will reflect recommendations made by the DHS CFO and USCIS CFO, as required under the CFO Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Preference Alien Registration of intention to apply for adjustment of status; Pre-filing of certain applications
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations governing how the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) would accept and process an Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485.  This proposed rule would discontinue the concurrent filing process for employment-based adjustment of status applicants.  Instead, it would require that an alien worker be the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition prior to filing an adjustment of status application.  Further, this proposed rule would remove an aliens reliance on the Department of States (DOS) Visa Bulletin to determine visa availability and therefore eligibility to file for adjustment of status.   Instead, the rule proposes that USCIS utilize a registration process for intending adjustment of status applicants by requiring an applicant to file a registration packet after the granting of an immigrant petition and prior to visa availability, based on the use of qualifying dates established by DOS. This proposed rule is intended to streamline adjustment application processing by utilizing a two-step process in which registration packets can be pre-screened for documentary evidence, security checks can be initiated and completed, and pending visa demand can be adequately conveyed to DOS. The DOS will then adjust its Visa Bulletin accordingly and applicants may then proceed forward with filing their I-485s based on visa availability as reflected in the monthly Visa Bulletin.  This process will result in a steady workflow, will mitigate visa retrogression, and make applications generally decision- ready shortly after time of visa availability. This proposed rule will also allow USCIS to correct a discrepant regulatory reference that defined an employment-based priority date based on a Department of Labor-issued labor certification incorrectly.]]></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 issued 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>Interpretation at Asylum Interviews</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Child Soldier Accountability Act of 2008 (CSAA) establishes a criminal offense for the recruitment or use of child soldiers, and also establishes grounds of inadmissibility and removability for aliens who have engaged in such recruitment or use.  Additionally, the CSAA requires the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary), within 60 days of the CSAAs enactment, to promulgate a final rule establishing that aliens subject to these grounds of inadmissibility or deportability shall be considered an alien with respect to whom there are serious reasons to believe that the alien committed a serious nonpolitical crime.  The Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Justice (DOJ) therefore are amending their companion immigration regulations to specify that aliens who are inadmissible or deportable for recruitment or use of child soldiers are considered ineligible for asylum and withholding of removal due to the serious nonpolitical crime bar.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of the Term &quot;Lawfully Present&quot; for Purposes of Eligibility for Public Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 401(a) of the Personal Responsibility and Work Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) provides that, with limited exceptions, only qualified aliens, as defined under section 431, may receive certain Federal public benefits. Section 401(b)(2) provides an exception that allows aliens who are "lawfully present in the United States" 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-Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations to define the term "an alien who is lawfully present in the United States" so that the Social Security Administration may determine which aliens are eligible for benefits under title II of the Social Security Act.  DHS now plans to issue a final rule to complete the rulemaking action.]]></ABSTRACT>

This interim final rule codifies existing DHS policy statements by incorporating them into the Department's regulations, and eliminates the requirement for permission for overseas travel for adjustment applicants who are maintaining H-1 or L nonimmigrant status. The Department is publishing a final rule in response to public comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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.]]></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>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>

        <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.]]></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. 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.    

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>

        <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 U.S. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DHS is proposing to amend its regulations relating to the acceptance of academic honoraria by nonimmigrant aliens admitted to the United States as a B visa visitor status. This is necessary to implement changes to section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act made by the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998. The amendment outlines the proposed procedures necessary for a nonimmigrant alien visiting the United States in valid B visa status to accept honoraria in connection with usual academic activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements title I of the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, Public Law 106-395. First, it amends DHS regulations by adding a new part that addresses application procedures for foreign-born children residing in the United States pursuant to a lawful admission for permanent residence, who acquire citizenship automatically under section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act), as amended. This rule established procedures for these foreign-born children, including adopted children, to obtain certificates of citizenship. Second, this rule also addresses application procedures for foreign-born children residing outside the United States, who can acquire citizenship under section 322 of the Act, as amended, by approval of an application and taking the oath of allegiance.]]></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 finalizes the Interim Rule published November 6, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 27, 2000, President Bush 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>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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets forth application requirements for a new nonimmigrant status. The U classification is for non-U.S. Citizen/Lawful Permanent Resident victims of certain crimes who cooperate with an investigation or prosecution of those crimes. There is a limit of 10,000 principals per year.

This rule establishes the procedures to be followed in order to petition for the U nonimmigrant classifications. Specifically, the rule addresses the essential elements that must be demonstrated to receive the nonimmigrant classification; procedures that must be followed to make an application and evidentiary guidance to assist in the petitioning process. Eligible victims will be allowed to remain in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Withholding of Adjudication</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of the Deadline for Certain Health Care Workers Required To Obtain Certificates</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petitions Filed on Behalf of H-1B Temporary Workers Subject to the Annual Numerical Limitation </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security is amending its regulations governing petitions filed on behalf of alien workers subject to the annual numerical limitations applicable to the H nonimmigrant classification.  This rule precludes a petitioner from filing more than one petition based on the H-1B nonimmigrant classification on behalf of the same alien temporary worker in a given fiscal year if the alien is subject to a numerical limitation.  Additionally, this rule makes accommodations for petitioners seeking to file petitions on behalf of alien workers subject to the annual numerical limitation on the first day on which filings will be accepted for the next fiscal year.  This rule also clarifies the treatment of H nonimmigrant petitions incorrectly claiming an exemption from the numerical limitations.  Finally, the rule removes from the regulations unnecessary language regarding the annual numerical limitation applicable to the H-1B nonimmigrant classification.  These changes are necessary to clarify the regulations and further ensure the fair and orderly adjudication of petitions subject to numerical limitations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Immigrant and Nonimmigrant Religious Workers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends DHS 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 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>

        <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>

        <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 be the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition prior to filing the adjustment application.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Requirements Affecting H-2B Nonimmigrants and Their Employers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security is amending its regulations affecting temporary nonagricultural workers within the H-2B nonimmigrant category and their U.S. employers.  The changes are designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the H-2B nonimmigrant classification. This rule relaxes the current limitations on the ability of U.S. employers to petition unnamed nonagricultural workers to come to the United States. Finally, this rule provides for employer notification to USCIS within 30 days of the date that the employee leaves employment or is terminated. This rule will increase the efficiency of the program by eliminating certain regulatory barriers.]]></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 makes several minor editorial and clarification changes throughout title 46 parts 10, 11, 12, and 15. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety. It also supports the goals of the Coast Guard of reducing deaths and injuries of crew members on domestic merchant vessels and eliminating substandard vessels from the navigable waters of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 revise Notice of Arrival (NOA) regulations found at 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; 2) adding two options for vessels to submit NOAs electronically, and 3) defining CDC residue. In addition, the rulemaking would confirm that U.S. recreational vessels are not subject to part 160 requirements. This rulemaking would also 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.]]></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 (MTSA) of 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nontank Vessel Response Plans and Other Vessel Response Plan Requirements [USCG-2008-1070]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish regulations requiring owners or operators of nontank vessels to prepare and submit oil spill response plans.  The Federal Water Pollution Control Act defines nontank vessels as self-propelled vessels of 400 gross tons or greater that operate on the navigable waters of the United States, carry oil of any kind as fuel for main propulsion, and are not tank vessels.  The rulemaking would specify the content of a response plan, and among other issues, address the requirement to plan for responding to a worst case discharge and a substantial threat of such a discharge.  Additionally, this rulemaking would update international Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) requirements that apply to certain nontank vessels and tank vessels.  Finally, this rulemaking would require vessel owners and operators to submit their vessel response plan control number as part of the notice of arrival information.  This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of protection of natural resources and maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Notice of Arrival on the Outer Continental Shelf</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, foreign vessels arriving at a place on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) need not provide any advance notice to the Coast Guard.  In order to improve Maritime Domain Awareness and security on the OCS, the rule would require each foreign vessel intending to arrive at a place on the OCS to provide the National Vessel Movement Center (NVMC) with an advance notice of arrival (NOA).  The Coast Guard proposes placing those same requirements on U.S. units arriving on and engaging in OCS activities from foreign ports or places because they pose the same security risks as foreign vessels.  The data to be included in the notices, and the times at which the notices must be submitted, would be similar to the existing requirements, in 33 CFR part 160, for NOAs from ships arriving at a port or place in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Escort Vessels in Certain U.S. Waters (USCG-2006-23556; Formerly 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.  On April 15th, 2008, the Coast Guard announced its intention to withdraw this rulemaking. Because of the length of time since the original ANPRM was published, the Coast Guard requested additional public comment before proceeding with the withdrawal. The Coast Guard has decided that nationwide Coast Guard action to extend statutory escort vessel requirements is not advisable, and that escort vessels may be required in other waters or for vessels other than single-hulled oil tankers only after specific Coast Guard consideration of local conditions and possible alternative safety measures.  These requirements would be implemented at the local level by Coast Guard District Commenders.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would:

Update the list in 46 CFR 2.01-25 of those International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Crewmember Identification Documents (USCG-2007-28648)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require each crewmember on a foreign commercial vessel en route to a U.S. port or place of destination or at a U.S. port or place, or on a U.S. commercial vessel coming from a foreign port or place of departure to a U.S. port or place of destination, to carry and present upon demand an acceptable identification when in U.S. navigable waters.  The vessel operator would also be required to ensure that crewmembers comply with this requirement.  We expect the following five documents would be considered acceptable identification for crewmembers: a passport; a U.S. Permanent Resident Card; a U.S. Merchant Mariner's Document (MMD); a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC); and a Seafarer's Identification Document (SID) meeting all the requirements of International Labour Organization Seafarers' Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003 (ILO 185).  We expect that most crewmembers already have one or more of these five documents.  Should the proposed U.S. merchant mariner credential (MMC) rule (1625-AB02) become effective before a crewmember identification documents final rule is issued, we expect that the MMC would also be considered an acceptable identification document.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Zone Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard uses these routine and frequent regulations to establish control of access to areas to ensure the safety 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.  A total of 150 events are expected annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Anchorage Areas/Anchorage Grounds Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 because they have been found to be unnecessary to maintain marine safety in this environment. These special anchorage areas are limited geographically, and depending on the purpose of the designation, 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. Regulations designating 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. Approximately five actions are expected 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.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

Drawbridge regulations establish the permanent draw operation schedules for bridges and specify what notice mariners must give to request an opening.

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Transportation-Related Facility Response Plans for Hazardous Substances (USCG-1999-5705)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would implement provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 that require an owner or operator of a marine transportation-related facility transferring bulk hazardous substances to develop and operate in accordance with an approved response plan. The regulations would apply to marine transportation-related facilities that, because of their location, could cause harm to the environment by discharging a hazardous substance into or on the navigable waters or adjoining shoreline. A separate rulemaking, under RIN 1625-AA13, was developed in tandem with this rulemaking and addresses hazardous substances response plan requirements for tank vessels. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources by reducing the consequence of pollution incidents. This action is considered significant because of substantial public and industry interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 and is voluntary for those river barge operators who seek to expand their operations onto these routes. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and maritime mobility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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; and 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. This project would affect the owners and operators of facilities and vessels engaged in offshore activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project involves reviewing and updating the commercial diving regulations, which were first adopted in 1978. 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 impact of the rules upon small entities. The project supports the Coast Guard Marine Safety, Security and Environmental Protection Program's goal to reduce deaths and injuries on U.S. commercial vessels and the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Improvements to Maritime Safety in Puget Sound-Area Waters (USCG-1998-4501)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would promulgate measures to improve maritime safety in Puget Sound-Area waters including Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, passages around and through the San Juan Islands, and the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. Based on a determination by the Secretary of Transportation regarding the status of maritime safety in the Puget Sound area, the Coast Guard has initiated a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis to study the feasibility of implementing new safety measures, including extended tug escort requirements and a dedicated response vessel. Public input will help develop any future proposed rules, if deemed necessary. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard Marine Safety, Security and Stewardship 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 and maritime safety. This is a significant action due to substantial public interest.]]></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.]]></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 Above Head of Passes (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.

        <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; and (2) 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 100 annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dry Cargo Residue Discharges in the Great Lakes (USCG-2004-19621)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The historical practice of bulk dry cargo vessels on the Great Lakes is to discharge cargo residues (dry cargo residue) overboard.  Dry cargo residue is cargo that remains on the deck or cargo spaces after loading or unloading operations.  Generally, these residues include limestone and other clean stone, iron ore (such as taconite), coal, salt, and cement.  These substances are primarily inorganic, non-toxic and non-hazardous.  The implementing regulations for Annex V of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution From Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL Annex V), prohibits the discharge of garbage, which these sweepings are defined as, into the navigable waters of the U.S.  However, under an interim enforcement policy (IEP) adopted by the USCGs Ninth District in 1993 (and revised/reissued in 1995 and 1997) and adopted by Congress beginning in 1998, these requirements were not enforced, thereby allowing the continuation of cargo sweeping in specified areas of the Great Lakes.

The Coast Guard published an Interim Rule (73 FR 56492) on September 29, 2008.  It amended the regulations to allow the discharge of bulk dry cargo residue (DCR) in limited areas of the Great Lakes by self-propelled vessels and by any barge that is part of an integrated tug and barge unit.  This regulation adopts the IEP, new recordkeeping and reporting requirements and encourages carriers to adopt voluntary control measures for reducing discharges.  Discharges are also now prohibited in certain protected and sensitive areas where, previously, they were allowed.  The Coast Guard requested public comments on the need for and feasibility of additional conditions that might be imposed on discharges in the future, such as mandatory use of control measures, or further adjustments to the areas where discharges were allowed or prohibited.  The Coast Guard has now entered Phase II, studying control measures on vessels and bulk dry cargo facilities, to reduce the amount of residue discharges in the Great Lakes.]]></ABSTRACT>

It would prescribe standards for safety management systems and third-party entities along with standards for construction, operation, vessel systems, safety equipment, and recordkeeping.  Due to the costs imposed on an entire uninspected segment of the marine industry, the Coast Guard projects that this will be an economically significant rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Passenger Weight and Inspected Vessel Stability Requirements (USCG-2007-0030)</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 to either passenger overloading or operating these vessels in hazardous weather conditions.  This rulemaking would support the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Assessment Framework and Organizational Restatement Regarding Preemption for Certain Regulations Issued by the Coast Guard [USCG-2008-1259]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule will operate in two ways.  First, it will describe the Coast Guard's view of the preemptive effect of certain current Coast Guard regulations.  This analysis will apply to previously promulgated regulations even if a complete description of federalism implications was clearly articulated in the development of the regulation.  Second, the rule will set forth criteria and a process that the Coast Guard will undertake in future regulatory projects for evaluating the preemptive impact of those regulations.  This part of the analysis is prospective in nature and will lay out a roadmap for future regulatory projects regarding federalism and preemption principles.  This rulemaking will support the Coast Guard's strategic goal of further enhancing maritime mobility by reinforcing the critical nature of having a uniform maritime regulatory regime that is predictable and useful for maritime interests regardless of which port is used.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Salvage and Marine Firefighting Requirements; Vessel Response Plans for Oil (USCG-1998-3417)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Vessel response plan regulations required 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 to IV) or a discovery of a discharge (group V). Numerous requests for clarification revealed widespread misunderstanding and confusion regarding the regulatory language, making 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 redefined the terms "salvage expertise and equipment" and "vessel firefighting capability" requirements and reconsidered the 24-hour deployment requirement, which the Coast Guard suspended.  This project better defined the salvage and marine firefighting resources that are required in the VRP, including planning standards for each resource.  This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of the natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

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.]]></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 (REC).  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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tank Level or Pressure Monitoring Devices:  Removal of Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking removed 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 the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Authorization Act of 2004 wherein Congress amended OPA 90 to give us discretion to publish regulations for TLPM devices.  The Coast Guard completed a congressionally mandated study of these devices in March 2006.  This study found that no such devices currently exist and that none were likely to be developed.  A final rule suspending the regulations requiring a TLPM device on tank vessels until 2008 was published in 2005.  Another final rule suspending the regulations for three years was published in 2008 extending the suspension to 2011 at which time all double hull tank vessels and barges should be phased out. A notice of proposed rulemaking was published for this action on June 30, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to parts 4, 18, 113, 122, 123, 146, and 158 of the Customs and Border Protection regulations concerning cargo information (manifest) discrepancy reporting requirements for all modes of commercial transportation (air, sea, rail, and truck). Amendment sets forth corresponding guidelines for the assessment of penalties or claims for liquidated damages for manifesting violations. Amendment would require that any discrepancy from previously filed cargo information be reported to CBP by the responsible party immediately upon discovery and that such reports, with limited exceptions, be submitted to CBP in an electronic format. Amendment would eliminate Customs Form 5931 and require that cargo declaration information be kept for a period of 5 years after conveyance arrival. Also provides (as Appendices to the regulations) guidelines for the assessment of penalties for failing to reporting discrepancies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to remove from the CBP regulations the regulatory provisions pertaining to the Land Border Carrier Initiative Program (LBCIP).  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of Global Entry Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CBP already operates several regulatory and non-regulatory international registered traveler programs, also known as trusted traveler programs. In order to comply with the Intelligence Reform Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRPTA), CBP is proposing to amend its regulations to establish another international registered traveler program called Global Entry.  The Global Entry program would expedite the movement of low-risk, frequent international air travelers by providing an expedited inspection process for pre-approved, pre-screened travelers. These travelers would proceed directly to automated Global Entry kiosks upon their arrival in the United States. This Global Entry Program, along with the other programs that have already been established, are consistent with CBP's strategic goal of facilitating legitimate trade and travel while securing the homeland. A pilot of Global Entry has been operating since June 6, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the current regulations, CBP is required to issue a new Arrival and Departure form (I-94) to an alien who has been granted an extended period of parole upon each entry to the United States.   This document announces that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is proposing to amend current regulations regarding the parole granted aliens for humanitarian reasons and for the purpose of significant public benefit to allow CBP to issue one I-94 that would be valid multiple times to aliens granted extended parole.  Under this proposal, the I-94 would be valid for a specified pre-authorized period, rather than requiring CBP to continue to re-issue subsequent I-94 multiple times during the specified parole period.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 gives CBP the authority to coordinate and unify the administrative petition process CBP uses for seizures and forfeitures based on violations of immigration laws with that process used by CBP for violations of customs laws. Amendment is also made to the CBP Regulations to state that seizures effected by Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the customs and navigation laws will continue to be processed under the CBP Regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importer Security Filing and Additional Carrier Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 25, 2008, CBP published an interim final rule to implement the provision of section 203 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006. The rule requires carriers to submit a vessel stow plan and container status messages under certain scenarios where cargo containers are destined for the United States. The rule also requires importers or their agents to submit an Importer Security Filing (ISF) with eight data elements, no later than 24 hours before the cargo is laden at the foreign port and two data elements, no later than 24 hours prior to arrival in the United States.

The interim final rule included a delayed compliance date for affected importers and carriers by 12 months after date of publication. CBP is conducting a review, through June 1, 2009, to determine any specific compliance difficulties that importers and shippers may experience in submitting all ten data elements 24 hours before lading Written comments may be submitted on or before June 1, 2009, concerning the data elements  for which some type of flexibility has been provided. Based on the structured review and public comment periods, CBP will conduct an analysis of the elements subject to flexibility and issue a final rule to eliminate, modify, or maintain these requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations to implement section 702 of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA). This law extends the immigration laws of the United States to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and provides for a joint visa waiver program for travel to Guam and the CNMI.  This rule implements section 702 of the CNRA by amending the regulations to replace the current Guam Visa Waiver Program with a new Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program.  The amended regulations set forth the requirements for nonimmigrant visitors who seek admission for business or pleasure and solely for entry into and stay on Guam or the CNMI without a visa.  This rule  would also  establish six ports of entry in the CNMI for purposes of administering and enforcing the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2000, Public Law 106-396, made the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP) a permanent program.  The Visa Waiver Program (VWP), allows nationals of designated countries to apply for admission to the United States at land border ports, air and sea ports, and to enter the United States for business or pleasure for up to 90 days without first obtaining a nonimmigrant visa. 

INS Rule No. 1799 finalizes all those VWP countries that were added through the publication of interim regulations. This rule will also incorporate those statutory changes made to section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Immigration Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>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>

        <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 DHS 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nonimmigrant Visa Exemption for Nationals of the British Virgin Islands Entering the United States Through St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

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.

        <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>

Such amendment would provide that voyages that begin and end at a U.S. port and stop at a foreign port(s) and at intervening U.S. port(s) where a large U.S.-flag coastwise-qualified passenger vessel engages in regular service, would be in violation of the Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) unless the cumulative length of stay(s) at intervening foreign port(s) is more than 50% of the total amount of time spent at the intervening U.S. port(s) and passengers are permitted to go ashore at the foreign port(s).  This would ensure that the PVSAs purpose, which is to preserve the economic benefits of U.S. coastwise trade to U.S.-flag coastwise-qualified vessels, is carried out.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sensitive Security Information: Disclosure in Federal Civil Court Proceedings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is proposing to revise its regulations governing the protection of Sensitive Security Information (SSI) to implement section 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) proposes to amend its investigative and enforcement procedures to conform their scope to the changes in TSAs civil enforcement authority enacted in the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007.  Specifically, the proposed rule would establish procedures by which TSA could issue civil money penalties for violations of any statutory requirement administered by TSA, including surface transportation security requirements, as well as requirements governing the use of Transportation Worker Identification Credentials. This proposed rule also would add new procedures by which members of the public could report to TSA a problem, deficiency, or vulnerability regarding transportation security, including the security of aviation, maritime, railroad, motor carrier vehicle, or pipeline transportation, or any mode of public transportation, such as mass transit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Cargo Screening</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will establish the Certified Cargo Screening Program that will certify shippers, manufacturers, and other entities to screen air cargo intended for transport on a passenger aircraft.  This will be the primary means through which TSA will meet the requirements of section 1602 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 that mandates that 100 percent of air cargo transported on passenger aircraft, operated by an air carrier or foreign air carrier in air transportation or intrastate air transportation, must be screened by August 2010, to ensure the security of all such passenger aircraft carrying cargo.

Under this rulemaking, each certified cargo screening facility (CCSF) and their employees and authorized representatives that will be screening cargo must successfully complete a security threat assessment.  The CCSF must also submit to an audit of their security measures by TSA-approved auditors, screen cargo using TSA-approved methods, and initiate strict chain of custody measures to ensure the security of the cargo throughout the supply chain prior to tendering it for transport on passenger aircraft.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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; Nov. 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 proceeding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Civil Aviation Security Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 is 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.  TSA responded to the comments received, but because the comments and responses contained SSI, they were not made public.  TSA amended the program, where appropriate, to accommodate the comments received on the security program.  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>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>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).  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.  After comments were received, new exemptions and interpretations were issued.

The IFR requires 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 on 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 will also improve security at flight schools.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF) (Market Share)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration will revise 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; Nov. 19, 2001), codified at 49 U.S.C. 44940, 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.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport: Enhanced Security Procedures for Certain Operations 
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Interim Final Rule (IFR), published by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on July 19, 2005, creates a new part 1562, subpart B, for General Aviation, in title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

This IFR restores access to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) infrastructures for certain aircraft operations, while maintaining the security of critical Federal Government and other assets in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area.  From September 11, 2001, until the IFR became effective, general aviation aircraft operations had been prohibited at DCA. This rule applies to all passenger aircraft operations into or out of DCA, except foreign air carrier operations functioning 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 armed security officers onboard aircraft operating to or from DCA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Drivers Licensed by Canada or Mexico Transporting Hazardous Materials To and 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>Rail Transportation Security</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued requirements in this rulemaking to enhance the security of our Nations rail transportation system.  Regulated entities 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 codifies 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 also requires that regulated parties designate rail security coordinators and report significant security concerns to DHS.  

TSA further identifies a list of rail security-sensitive materials and requires 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 also clarifies and extends the sensitive security information (SSI) protections to cover certain information associated with rail transportation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Large Aircraft Security Program, Other Aircraft Operator Security Program, and Airport Operator Security Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2008, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued a NPRM, proposing 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 also proposed that all aircraft operations, including corporate and private charter operations, with aircraft having a maximum certificated takeoff weight (MTOW) above 12,500 pounds (large aircraft) be required to adopt a large aircraft security program.  TSA also proposed to require certain airports that serve large aircraft to adopt security programs. TSA is reviewing public comments to determine the next course of action.]]></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) took final action on the this November 24, 2004, interim final rule by responding to comments received through the publication of a final rule on January 25, 2007 (72 FR 3492), titled "Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Implementation in the Maritime Sector; Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial Drivers License." 

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will ensure that, in the interest of national security, DHS provides efficient and effective oversight for flight training programs. The eight Department of State (DOS) flight training programs that are validated to enroll J visa exchange visitors will, at DOS request, be incorporated into the DHS Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) flight training certification process no later than June 1, 2010. This regulation will accomplish and facilitate this transition, modify existing M and F regulations to improve the tracking of flight training students in M and F classification and promote international flight safety by expanding practical training opportunities for this group.]]></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[This proposed rule would clarify the criteria for nonimmigrant academic (F visa) and vocational (M visa) students and exchange aliens (J visa) to maintain visa status, and for the schools certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to enroll F or M nonimmigrant students to fulfill their recordkeeping, retention, and reporting requirements to SEVP. The proposed rule would incorporate significant refinements in policy and procedures that have evolved since the last major regulatory update in 2002  and since the establishment of SEVP nearly 6 years ago. The proposed rule would remove obsolete provisions in the regulations used prior to and during implementation of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information Program (SEVIS). In anticipation of the implementation of a major reprogramming of SEVIS, referred to as SEVIS II, that will begin in late 2009, the proposed rule would incorporate language to support that transition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extending Period for Optional Practical Training by 17 Months for F-1 Nonimmigrant Students With STEM Degrees and Expanding the CAP-GAP Relief for All F-1 Students With Pending H-1B Petitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, foreign students in F-1 nonimmigrant status who have been enrolled on a full-time basis for at least one full academic year in a college, university, conservatory, or seminary certified by U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcements (ICE) Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) are eligible for 12 months of optional practical training (OPT) to work for a U.S. employer in a job directly related to the students major area of study. This interim final rule extends the maximum period of OPT from 12 months to 29 months for F-1 students who have completed a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) degree and accept employment with employers enrolled in U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) E-Verify employment verification program. This interim final rule also requires the employers of F-1 students with an extension of post-completion OPT authorization to report to the students designated school official (DSO) within 48 hours after the OPT student has been terminated from, or otherwise leaves, his or her employment with that employer prior to end of the authorized period of OPT.

This rule also ameliorates the so-called cap-gap problem by extending the authorized period of stay for all F-1 students who have a properly filed H-1B petition and change of status request (filed under the cap for the next fiscal year) pending with USCIS. If USCIS approves the H-1B petition, the students will have an extension that enables them to remain in the United States until the requested start date indicated in the H-1B petition takes effect. This interim final rule also implements some programmatic changes, including clarifying that a school DSO must determine if the position for which the student seeks OPT is related to the students field of study and allowing students to apply for OPT within 60 days of concluding their studies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Power of Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security To Terminate Deportation Proceedings and Initiate Removal Proceedings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to implement section 309(c)(3) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) by affording certain aliens rendered ineligible for relief from deportation 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 section 241(a)(6) of the Immigration and Nationality Act 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Amendments Relating to Immigration 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requiring Certification of All Service-Approved Schools for Enrollment in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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, President George W. Bush 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>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 Procedure Act, before seeking judicial review of DHS actions. Also, this rule limits the exposure of the Department in cases when bonding agents have acted improperly or when 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[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 direct final rule deletes obsolete, pre-SEVIS policies and procedures in various regulations. The continued presence of this outdated verbiage contributes to confusion, inefficiency, and misunderstanding by students and academic institutions.]]></ABSTRACT>

It would also propose further revisions to 44 CFR part 206, subpart D (the Individuals and Households Program (IHP)) and remove subpart E (Individual and Family Grant Programs).  Among other things, it would  propose to implement section 686 of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA) to remove the IHP subcaps; section 685 regarding semi-permanent and permanent housing construction eligibility; revise FEMA's regulations related to individuals with disabilities pursuant to PKEMRA section 689; and revise FEMA's regulations to allow for the payment of security deposits and the costs of utilities, excluding telephone service, in accordance with section 689d of PKEMRA.  This regulation also would propose to implement section 689f of PKEMRA by authorizing assistance to relocate individuals displaced from their predisaster primary residence, to and from alternate locations for short- or long-term accommodations.]]></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 rule proposes to amend the National Flood Insurance Program regulations to incorporate the statutory changes in the Bunning-Bereuter-Blumenauer Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-264). 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Community Disaster Loans Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FEMA would amend its regulations to implement loan cancellation provisions for Special Community Disaster Loans (Special CDLs), which were provided by FEMA to local governments in the Gulf region following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.  This proposed rule would not automatically cancel all Special CDLs, but would propose the procedures and requirements for governments who received Special CDLs to apply for cancellation of loan obligations as authorized by the U.S. Troop Readiness Veterans Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (Troop Act).  With the passage of the Troop Act, FEMA has the discretionary ability to cancel Special CDLs subject to the limitations of section 417(c) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act).  Under section 417 of the Stafford Act, FEMA is authorized to cancel a loan if it determines that "the revenues of the local government during the full three fiscal year period following the disaster are insufficient to meet the operating budget for the local government, including additional unreimbursed disaster-related expenses for a municipal operating character."  Since the cancellation provisions of section 417 of the Stafford Act already exist in the Traditional CDL Program regulations at 44 CFR 206.366, and section 417 of the Stafford Act provides the basis for cancellation of loans under both the Special CDL Program and the Traditional CDL Program,  FEMA would propose to mirror the Traditional CDL cancellation provisions for Special CDLs.  This rule would not affect the cancellation provisions for the Traditional CDL Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 would reduce the Federal share of eligible funding to 25 percent if appropriate mitigation measures have not been accomplished on a repetitively damaged facility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update of FEMAs Public Assistance Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise the Federal Emergency Management Agencys Public Assistance program regulations.  Many of these changes reflect amendments made to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act by the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 and the Security and Accountability For Every Port Act of 2006.  The proposed rule also proposes a few further substantive and nonsubstantive clarifications and corrections to the Public Assistance regulations.  This proposed rule is intended to improve the efficiency and consistency of the Public Assistance Program, as well as implement new statutory authority by expanding Federal assistance, providing for precautionary evacuations, improving the Project Worksheet process, empowering grantees, and improving State Administrative Plans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Emergency Management Agency Stafford Act Mission Assignments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[44 CFR 206.208 addresses FEMAs provision of direct Federal assistance to a State or Indian Tribal government when such entity lacks the capability to perform or to contract for eligible emergency work.  FEMA proposes to reorient this section to set forth the other types of mission assignments authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as well as to further clarify direct Federal assistance, which is often a mission assignment but also is sometimes work carried out or coordinated by FEMA itself.  Mission assignments are an integral part of the way in which FEMA provides Federal assistance to the States and local governments as well as the fundamental method FEMA uses to obtain assistance from other Federal agencies to provide assistance.  The authority for mission assignments is set forth in the Stafford Act in section 402 and is often used in work performed under section 403.  Further, the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 added the authority for FEMA to assign missions for recovery efforts.  This is a new authority which will be addressed in this proposed regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Emergency Management Agency Emergency Support Teams</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FEMA proposes to update 44 CFR 206.43 Emergency support teams. Currently, this section identifies the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) as having authority to activate emergency support teams, composed of Federal program and support personnel, to be deployed into an area affected by a major disaster or emergency. The section also states that these teams assist the FCO in carrying out his/her duties under the Stafford Act. FEMA proposes to update these regulations to reflect statutory changes to the requirements for the response teams that were made by the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended, and the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA) and current operations. In particular, FEMA must direct a number of different emergency support teams, including new strike teams (now the Incident Management Assistance Teams) required in PKEMRA to support its mission.  The regulation will be updated to reflect current command, control, and operational relationships.  FEMA also proposes to change the regulation to reflect FEMAs authority to preposition its emergency and disaster response teams before a disaster is declared.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Treatment of Firearms in Response To or Recovery From a Major Disaster or Emergency </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA), Congress added section 706 to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, prohibiting the confiscation of certain firearms by Federal employees acting in support of relief from a major disaster or emergency.  Section 706 does, however, permit Federal employees to require the temporary surrender of a firearm as a condition for entry into any mode of transportation used for rescue or evacuation during a major disaster or emergency, provided that such temporarily surrendered firearm is returned at the completion of such rescue or evacuation.  FEMA proposes to issue regulations delineating its procedures for the treatment of firearms in accordance with this statutory change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flood Mitigation Grants and Hazard Mitigation Planning</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements 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 identifies program requirements including eligibility and matching requirements, as well as procedures for grant application, evaluation, award, and appeals. It also implements provisions of the law that set forth implications for property owners who decline a mitigation offer under the Pilot Program.  Finally, the rule also consolidates the requirements for the acquisition of property for open space using mitigation funds and streamlines mitigation planning requirements for Indian Tribal governments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP); Assistance to Private Sector Property Insurers; Write-Your-Own Arrangement </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule amends 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 adds 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 amends the way it communicates changes to the Unallocated Loss Adjustment Expenses (ULAE) compensation rate to WYO Companies.  Finally, FEMA revises 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>Disaster Assistance; Public Assistance Insurance Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 rule would revise and update regulations governing the procedures for the collection of claims by HUD.  The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) consolidated responsibility for collection of delinquent Federal debt within the Department of the Treasury.  The DCIA requires agencies to transfer to Treasury debts that are more than 180 days delinquent.  If, prior to the transfer, HUD's collection efforts have resulted in the debtor's requesting a hearing or other review, the procedures in this rule will apply.  They will apply also with respect to a debt that HUD has transferred to Treasury if the debtor requests a hearing or review in response to a notice that Treasury has issued.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Refinement of Income and Rent Determinations in Public and Assisted Housing Programs (FR-4998)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule revises HUDs public and assisted housing program regulations to ensure that deficiencies in public and assisted housing rental determinations are identified and cured through quality control studies and internal audits.  This final rule is consistent with HUDs comprehensive strategy under the Rental Housing Integrity Improvement Project initiative to reduce by half the number and dollar amount of errors in HUDs rental assistance programs.  This final rule follows publication of a June 19, 2007, proposed rule and makes certain changes at this final rule stage in response to public comment and further consideration of certain issues by HUD.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend HUDs regulations that govern the imposition of civil money penalties.  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes regulations that will permit mortgages on properties located in community land trusts to be eligible for FHA mortgage insurance.  Community land trusts currently require certain legal restrictions on conveyance that are inconsistent with the ability to sell without encumbrance that HUD has for nonprofits participating in low and moderate income programs.  This rule will allow a community land trust to retain the legal controls needed to preserve affordability while allowing mortgages on individual properties located in community land trusts to be eligible for FHA mortgage insurance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend HUD's regulations governing capital advances for the following two programs: Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly and section 811 Supportive Housing for People With Disabilities.  This proposed rule will provide the mixed finance regulations with more flexibility in order to attract private capital and expertise to the construction of supportive housing for the elderly and disabled.  The proposed regulatory changes will streamline the use of low income tax credits as well as funding from other sources.  These proposed amendments will permit the mixed finance program to expedite the development of needed affordable housing projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

In light of the increasing number of fixed interest rate HECM's originated by FHA-approved mortgage lenders in recent years, these revisions are necessary in order to maintain the availability and the affordability of fixed interest rate HECMs in the mortgage market. This proposed rule would help FHA-approved mortgage lenders better manage the risk involved in fixed interest rate HECMs, while insuring that such lenders continue to be able to offer the widest possible range of mortgage products to borrowers who qualify for FHA insurance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM) Amendment to Accrued Interest and Removal of Shared Appreciation Interest and Shared Premium Insurance Option (FR-5177)

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend the regulations governing the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Program for the purpose of restoring the borrowers liability for accrued interest under a first HECM mortgage.  The proposed rule also would allow interest to continue accruing, except as to the defaulting mortgagee, on the outstanding balance owed under a first mortgage after HUD exercises its demand assignment authority and begins to issue payments to the mortgagor under the second mortgage.  These proposed amendments are designed to avoid penalizing innocent investors because a mortgagee has defaulted on its obligation.  This proposed rule would also remove the shared appreciation interest and the shared premium option from the HECM program.  This option has rarely, if ever been used and HUD is proposing to streamline its regulations by removing it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend HUD's regulations governing capital advances for the following two programs: Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly and section 811 Supportive Housing for People With Disabilities.  This proposed rule will provide the mixed finance regulations with more flexibility in order to attract private capital and expertise to the construction of supportive housing for the elderly and disabled.  The proposed regulatory changes will streamline the use of low income tax credits as well as funding from other sources.  These proposed amendments will permit the mixed finance program to expedite the development of needed affordable housing projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safe Mortgage Licensing Act:  Implementation of HUD Responsibilities (FR-5271)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secure and Fair Enforcement Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act) was enacted as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.  The SAFE Act directs States to adopt licensing and registration requirements for loan originators that meet the minimum standards specified in the SAFE Act in lieu of HUD establishing and maintaining a licensing system for loan originators.  If HUD determines that a States mortgage loan origination licensing standards do not meet the minimum requirements of the statute, HUD is charged with establishing and implementing a system for all mortgage loan originators in that State.   Additionally, if HUD determines that the nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry is failing to meet the SAFE Acts requirements, HUD is charged with establishing and maintaining a licensing and tracking system for mortgage loan originators.  This rule provides the standards that HUD proposes to utilize to determine whether a States licensing systems complies with the requirements of the SAFE Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FHA Insurance for Manufactured Housing (FR-5075)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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).  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>

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>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): Simplification and Improvement of the Process of Obtaining Home Mortgages and Reducing Consumer Costs (FR-5180)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends HUDs regulations to further RESPA's purposes by requiring more timely and effective disclosures related to mortgage settlement costs for federally related mortgage loans to consumers.  The changes made by this final rule are designed to protect consumers from unnecessarily high settlement costs by taking steps to: (1) Improve and standardize the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) form, to make it easier to use for shopping among settlement providers; (2) ensure that page one of the GFE provides a clear summary of the loan terms and total settlement charges, so that borrowers will be able to use the GFE to identify a particular loan product and then comparison-shop among loan originators; (3) provide more accurate estimates of costs of settlement services shown on the GFE; (4) improve disclosure of yield spread premiums, to help borrowers understand how they can affect their settlement charges; (5) facilitate comparison of the GFE and the HUD-1/HUD-1A Settlement Statements; (6) ensure that at settlement, borrowers are aware of final costs as they relate to the particular mortgage loan and settlement transaction; (7) clarify HUD-1 instructions; (8) clarify HUDs current regulations concerning discounts; and (9) expressly state when RESPA permits certain pricing mechanisms that benefit consumers, including volume-based discounts. The final rule follows a March 14, 2008, proposed rule and makes changes in response to public comment and further consideration of certain issues by HUD.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed 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.

Part 135 was last revised to incorporate the statutory amendments of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. This proposed rule will update part 135 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) establish a national registry of section 3 business concerns; and (4) simplify the Department's administration of section 3 requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule clarifies the filing and service requirements for petitions to the Secretary of HUD for review of an initial decision and order of a HUD administrative law judge in Fair Housing Act cases.  While the current HUD regulations establish timeframes for the submission of such petitions, they do not specify the address for submission nor the parties upon whom service must be made.  This has resulted in petitions being misfiled or improperly served.  The final rule protects the rights and interests of parties and the Department by addressing the ambiguity in the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Reporting Requirements for the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (FR-5232)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise the reporting requirements for the Indian Community Development Block Grants (ICDBG) program.  First, the rule would provide for submission of a single annual report on the hiring of minority business enterprises due to HUD each October.  Currently, ICDBG grantees are required to report on these activities on a semiannual basis, with reports being due to HUD on April 10 and October 10 of each year.  Second, the proposed rule would require ICDBG grantees to use the Logic Model form developed as part of HUDs Super Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process.  The required use of the Logic Model will conform ICDBG reporting requirements to those of other HUD competitive funding programs.  The proposed change will help ensure uniformity in the information provided by ICDBG grantees on performance goals, and thereby facilitate the evaluation of grantee performance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Housing Evaluation and Oversight: Changes to the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) and Determining and Remedying Substantial Default (FR-5094)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will make two sets of amendments to improve evaluation and oversight of public housing agencies (PHAs).  First, this rule will amend HUDs Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) regulations for the purposes of: (1) Consolidating the regulations governing assessment of a PHAs program in one part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR); (2) revising certain PHAS regulations, based on the Departments experience with PHAS since it was established in 1998 as the new system for evaluating a PHA; and (3) updating certain PHAS procedures to reflect recent changes in public housing operations from conversion by PHAs to asset management, including updating and revising the PHAS scoring notices.  Second, the rule will establish, in a separate part of the CFR, the regulations that specify the actions or inactions by which a PHA would be determined to be in substantial default, the procedures for a PHA to respond to such a determination or finding, and the sanctions available to HUD to address and remedy substantial default by a PHA.  To date, such regulations have been included in the PHAS regulations, but the actions or inactions that constitute substantial default are not limited to failure to comply with PHAS regulations.  Accordingly, the regulations applicable to substantial default are more appropriately codified in a separate CFR part.]]></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 notice solicits public comment on HUD's use of multi-race data in the computation of the IHBG program allocation formula. Following HUD's review and consideration of the comments received on this notice, HUD may proceed with rulemaking as necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend the coal management regulations that pertain to the administration of Federal coal leases and logical mining units (LMUs) by implementing the provisions of title D of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-58) that include: Increasing the maximum acreage for a lease modification from 160 acres to 960 acres; new procedures for extending the life of a LMU beyond 40 years; changes in the procedures and standards for payment of advance royalty for leases and LMUs; elimination of the requirement to submit a resource recovery and protection plan within 3 years after the issuance or establishment of an LMU; and changes in procedures and standards for bonds used to ensure payment of the remaining balance of deferred bonus bids.  The rule will also clarify the royalty rate that is applicable to continuous highwall mining operations conducted on Federal coal leases.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule would apply across all BLM land-use programs, so that the requirement pertains to supplemental feed for grazing livestock, feed for recreational stock and pack animals, and any animals used in association with any land use authorized under BLM regulations.  It would also apply to materials used for land  reclamation after authorized land use and for rehabilitation and emergency stabilization after wildfire.  This rule would enable BLM actions to be consistent with pertinent State laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend regulations concerning how the Bureau of Land Management administers livestock grazing on public lands to comply with the ruling of the Federal District Court in Western Watersheds Project v. Kraayenbrink, June 8, 2007.  That decision enjoined the final rule amending the grazing regulations published on July 12, 2006 (71 FR 39401).  This rule will restore the great majority of the provisions of the grazing regulations that were amended by the 2006 final rule to their pre-2006 language, but will leave in place certain changes that removed other-agency terminology no longer in use or that corrected editorial mistakes in the existing regulations.]]></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 address opportunities for public comment on 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 through a new BLM process.  BLM would extend commenters an opportunity for administrative appeal only in those cases that 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bureau of Reclamation Loan Guarantees </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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will establish criteria for appraisal and feasibility studies on the water supply needs for rural communities in the 17 western states. The Rural Water Supply Act authorized the creation of a rural water program to formalize the Bureau's ongoing rural water activities.  Appropriations are expected to be less than $15 million annually.  Through this program, Reclamation will work with non-Federal entities to plan and design safe and adequate rural water supply projects for domestic, municipal, and industrial use in small communities and rural areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule proposes that each Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lessee/operator would be required to develop, maintain, and operate under a Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) program composed of the four elements.  The four elements are Hazards Analysis, Management of Change, Operating Procedures, and Mechanical Integrity.  Each SEMS program would be tailored to the scale and complexity of the company's operation, and structured to include accountabilities for contractors and subcontractors.  The use of this program would reduce the risk and number of accidents, injuries, and spills during OCS activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Incorporation 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, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety and Decommissioning Requirements for Offshore Oil and Gas Platforms</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would codify certain best practices for safely decommissioning offshore oil and gas platforms.  Most of these safety practices are already accepted by industry and incorporated into MMS guidance documents. Some of these requirements would include: requiring a well with open perforations to have two barriers in place to allow the safe removal of blowout preventers, establishing expiration dates for platform decommissioning permits, establishing timeframes for submissions of abandonment and decommissioning plans, collecting historical well data, and establishing requirements for operators on probation.  This rule would apply industry best practices and improve human and environmental safety during decommissioning.]]></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 final rule will incorporate the NTLs and LTLs and give the requirements the force and weight of law.  Additionally, the rule has been 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>

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 final rule will eliminate most restrictions on production rates and clarify flaring and venting limits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Certain vintage geophysical information can have an enhanced value by processing or reprocessing.  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 will revise the requirements governing release of this information.]]></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[This rule implements three new royalty relief incentives specified by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-190). The new incentives are: (1) A royalty suspension volume of 35 BCF for gas produced from ultra-deep (20,000 feet or more subsea) reservoirs on shallow water leases in the Gulf of Mexico; (2) extension of at least the existing deep gas incentives plus the new ultra-deep gas incentive to leases in the Gulf located in water depths between 200 and 400 meters of water; and (3) provision of pre-production royalty relief to leases in offshore Alaska when it is necessary to promote development, increased production, or production of marginal resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Distribution of Qualified OCS Gulf Revenues to Nearby States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending our regulations that establish procedures relating to property seized and administrative forfeiture under various laws we enforce. We intend this revision to provide uniform guidance for the bonded release, appraisement, administrative proceeding, petition for remission, and disposal of items subject to forfeiture. Also, we intend these revisions to provide for greater consistency of Service seizure and forfeiture procedures with those of the U.S. Customs Service. We published our proposed rule in 1995. In August 2000, the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act (CAFRA) became law. Because CAFRA mandated many changes to 50 CFR 12 that affect our 1995 proposal, we will publish a second proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We received a petition to reclassify the wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) in Canada from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The petition presents substantial scientific and commercial information indicating that reclassification, as petitioned, is warranted under the Act (i.e., 90-day finding). We now initiate a status review of the species.  Dependent upon the results of the status review, we may change the classification of the wood bison from endangered to threatened.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Special Rule Reclassifying Argentinean Broad-Snouted Caiman Population From Endangered To Threatened</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We received a petition to reclassify the population of the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman laitrostris) in Argentina from endangered to threatened on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife established under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We determined that the petition presented substantial scientific and commercial information indicating that reclassification, as petitioned, is warranted under the Act (i.e., 90-day finding), and we initiated a status review of the species. Dependent upon the results of the status review, we may change the classification of the broad-snouted caiman population in Argentina from endangered to threatened. The broad-snouted caiman is a crocodilian species native to Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mosquito and Mosquito-Borne Disease Management</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Service Manual chapter (606 FW 2) provides policy for refuge managers to apply when determining how and when mosquito populations may be managed on lands administered within the National Wildlife Refuge System. This draft chapter is based on science and includes a requirement for data gathering both prior to and after management actions. The chapter also includes a provision for actions taken during emergencies.  This chapter applies to all units of the Refuge System where we have jurisdiction over such actions, whether mosquito management is performed by the Service or by an outside agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassification of Morro Shoulderband Snail from Endangered to Threatened</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 and status of 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[In compliance with Executive Order 11644, we are developing 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 establish requirements for ORVs on areas of the National Wildlife Refuge System; permit requirements for ORV use; determinations on when we close existing trails to ORV use; and refuge-specific sections for refuge units that have special regulations concerning public ORV access, use, and recreation.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is based on the results of the species 5-year review, which showed that the occupied range is larger than was known at the time of listing, and numerous new occupied sites have been found throughout the southern portion of its range. The northern portion of its range continues to be threatened by urban development activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending 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>

A status review indicates that conservation agreements have secured a number of populations in western Riverside County, and we have identified significant populations in San Diego County that were not previously known at the time the species was listed. However, habitat loss and degradation still remain a threat in other parts of the species range.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make determinations regarding listing spectaclecase and sheepnose mussels under the Endangered Species Act. The sheepnose mussel is currently found in 26 tributary streams and mainstems of the Upper Mississippi, Lower Missouri, Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee, and Lower Mississippi River systems. The spectaclecase mussel is currently known to occur in 20 streams in 10 States; however, 7 of the 20 extant populations are represented by only a single known specimen each and are likely not viable. Reproducing populations exist in the Meramec and Gasconade Rivers in Missouri, in the St. Croix River bordering Minnesota and Wisconsin, and in the Upper Clinch River in Tennessee.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination for Dunes Sagebrush Lizard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are listing the Dunes sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus arenicolus) as endangered throughout its range in eastern New Mexico and western Texas, because of, among other factors, the current and future threat of oil and gas development and the removal of the lizards shinnery oak habitat for cropland and rangeland across the species range. Currently a candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (under the old common name sand dunes lizard but same scientific name), the species occupies a very limited range in the two States. Note: the species common name has recently changed, from Sand dunes lizard to Dunes sagebrush lizard, because the common name sand dunes lizard was already in use by another species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revised Special Rule for the Utah Prairie Dog</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our special rule promulgated under section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act and found at 50 CFR 17.40 for the Utah prairie dog.  The revised rule will lower the annual take of Utah prairie dogs on agricultural lands from the currently allowed 6,000 animals to approximately 900-1,700 animals, which is more consistent with the number of Utah prairie dogs actually taken annually since the special rule was issued and the current size of the Utah prairie dog population.  The revised rule will also allow private landowners to use purposeful lethal control if approved and mitigated for under Safe Harbor Agreements and Habitat Conservation Plan agreements, which will allow for more flexibility in managing Utah prairie dogs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are reclassifying the California least tern from endangered to threatened. This action is based on the results of the 5-year review, which showed that the number of California least tern sites has nearly doubled since the time of listing, with most of the colonies occurring in southern California.  While the number of terns found at the San Francisco Bay colonies has increased, the actual number of colonies has not increased as required by the recovery plans delisting criteria. In addition, the impacts of habitat threats have been reduced but not eliminated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Refuge Specific Regulations; Public Use; Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To implement the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan, we propose to modify the seasonal public use closure of the OMalley River area to allow a bear viewing program. We also propose to close approximately 2,820 acres at Den Mountain to snowmobile access to protect denning brown bears. The OMalley River area is currently closed seasonally to all public access; the modified regulation would allow public access for viewing of this unique resource. The Den Mountain closure would protect denning brown bears and their cubs, which are especially susceptible to human disturbance from snowmobiles. The remainder of the more than 1.5 million acres of refuge lands would remain open to snowmobile access during periods of adequate snow cover under existing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Delisting the Utah Valvata (Valvata Utahensis) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are making a 12-month finding on a petition to delist the Utah valvata (Valvata utahensis ), a snail found in the mid-Snake River in south-central Idaho, and proposing the Utah valvata for delisting.  After thoroughly reviewing the best available information and scientific literature, conducting peer review on that information, and completing a structured decisionmaking workshop, we have determined the Utah valvata is not restricted to free-flowing cool water environments and is more widely distributed than known at the time of listing. Based on this new information and our improved understanding of threats, the weight of the evidence indicates the species is not in danger of extinction, nor is it likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.]]></ABSTRACT>

A completed 5-year review indicates that recovery actions have contributed substantially to preserving this species and ameliorating some threats, but ongoing actions to control cowbird nest parasitism and exotic weed control in riparian habitat are still needed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing the Shovelnose Sturgeon as Threatened Due to Similarity of Appearance  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are listing the shovelnose sturgeon as threatened under the Act due to similarity of appearance.  The shovelnose sturgeon and the endangered pallid sturgeon can be difficult to differentiate in the wild and inhabit overlapping portions of the Missouri and Mississippi River basins.  Five States, where the two species coexist, allow for commercial fishing of shovelnose sturgeon and their roe (eggs often sold as caviar).  Because of the close resemblance in appearance between the shovelnose and pallid sturgeon, fishermen, State regulators, and law enforcement personnel have substantial difficulty in differentiating between the two species.  This has resulted in the documented take of pallid sturgeon and their roe.  The determination of threatened status for shovelnose sturgeon due to similarity of appearance will substantially facilitate law enforcement actions to protect pallid sturgeon.  A special rule will define activities that would and would not constitute take of shovelnose sturgeon under section 9 of the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Hunting; 2009 to 2010 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We promulgate annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2009-2010 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 2009-2010 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[We are reclassifying Oregon chub (Oregonichthys crameri), a fish found only in Oregon, from endangered to threatened. The status of the Oregon chub has improved substantially since we listed it 15 years ago. We have determined that none of the existing or potential threats, either alone or in combination, currently place the Oregon chub in danger of extinction. However, without ESA protections, the species would likely become endangered within the foreseeable future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revised Critical Habitat for Prebles Meadow Jumping Mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a July 10, 2008 amended listing rule (73 FR 39789), we determined that: (a) The Prebles meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei) is a valid subspecies and should not be delisted based upon taxonomic revision; (b) the subspecies is not threatened throughout all of its range; and (c) the portion of the subspecies current range located in Colorado represents a significant portion of the current range where the subspecies should retain its threatened status.  As we revise critical habitat for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse, we will reassess critical habitat for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse based on our July 10, 2008, amended listing rule. Our analysis will include an assessment of all known and potential habitat within Colorado, where the species remains listed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Critical Habitat Designation for Hines Emerald Dragonfly</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 5, 2007 (72 FR 51101), we published a final rule designating critical habitat for Hine's emerald dragonfly (Somatochlora hineana). A total of approximately 13,221 ac (5,350 ha) in 22 units fell within the boundaries of our designation, in Cook, DuPage, and Will Counties in IL; Alpena, Mackinac, and Presque Isle Counties in MI; and Door and Ozaukee Counties in WI. Because the court subsequently remanded exclusions contained in the final rule, we are reopening the comment period on our original proposal (published September 5, 2007, 72 FR 51101) to further analyze the exclusions. This rule is not controversial; we do not expect major economic impacts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for Roswell Springsnail, Kosters Springsnail, Noels Amphipod, and Pecos Assiminea </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 9, 2005, we published a final rule designating critical habitat for four southwestern invertebrates: Roswell springsnail, Koster's springsnail, Noel's amphipod, and Pecos assiminea (70 FR 46304). The four are found at one site in Chaves County, New Mexico; Pecos assiminea is also found at a site in Pecos County, Texas, and a site in Reeves County, Texas. On December 19, 2007, Wild Earth Guardians filed a complaint challenging the merits of our critical habitat designation. Since our February 12, 2002, proposed designation (67 FR 6459), we have received no new information indicating that the species' ranges, habitat requirements, or threats have changed. Thus, we believe our February 12, 2002, proposal is the appropriate starting point for the designation of critical habitat for these species. Therefore, rather than publish a new proposed designation, we will prepare a Federal Register document reopening the 2002 proposal's comment period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Permits; Permit Exceptions for Captive-Reared Mallard Ducks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are changing our regulations on release and take of captive-reared mallards. We propose to allow shooting preserves to take captive-reared mallards that are properly marked, in any number, at any time, provided that such birds are released using a flighted method and are shot immediately after release. If properly marked captive-reared mallards are released in a free-flying condition to be shot at a later date and allowed to free-range with wild ducks, the take of these birds will be regulated in accordance with hunting regulations governing the take of mallard ducks from the wild. Additionally, we propose to prohibit the use of any seamed band, clip, dye, or other method of marking (other than the methods already specified) to mark captive-reared mallards, unless specifically authorized in a permit issued by the Bird Banding Laboratory, U.S. Geological Survey, Laurel, Maryland. These proposed changes to the regulations will help to protect the health of wild mallard populations and the development and enforcement of migratory bird hunting regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a final rule (67 FR 3120) we published in the Federal Register on January 23, 2002, we determined that Carex lutea (golden sedge) was endangered under the Endangered Species Act. In that rule we found that the designation of critical habitat was prudent but deferred due to budgetary constraints. Per a pending settlement agreement, we propose to designate critical habitat by February 28, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are reclassifying the black-capped vireo, a migratory songbird that breeds in Texas and Oklahoma, from endangered to threatened. This action is based on the species completed 5-year review, which states that while some threats have decreased in magnitude and the magnitude of other threats has been reconsidered, threats to the species still exist and its recovery currently depends largely on management actions to reduce these threats. The species no longer meets the definition of endangered, and therefore reclassification from endangered to threatened status is appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our boating infrastructure grant (BIG) program regulations to make them easier to understand. We will also review them in light of issues that have arisen in the management of the program and were identified in the June 2005 report titled A Review of the BIG Program, 2000-03, by the Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council, a group chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act.  These regulations establish the national BIG program to provide funds for States to construct, renovate, and maintain tie-up facilities with features for transient boaters in vessels 26 feet or more in length, and to produce and distribute information and educational materials about the program. They also establish States' requirements under the Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act of 1998 to participate in the national BIG Program, complete boat access surveys, and develop State plans to install tie-up facilities for transient nontrailerable recreational vessels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Determination of Significant Portion of the Range of Marine and Estuarine Areas of the Southwestern Washington/Columbia River Distinct Population Segment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service and we jointly published a proposed rule to list the Southwestern Washington/Columbia River Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) as threatened under the ESA's DPS provision on April 5, 1999 (64 FR 16397). It was subsequently determined that we alone had jurisdiction. On July 5, 2002, we published a withdrawal of the earlier proposed rule. As a result of litigation and court order, we now reconsider our withdrawal, with specific regard to whether the marine and estuarine areas may constitute a significant portion of the range (SPR) of the Southwestern Washington/Columbia River DPS of coastal cutthroat trout, and if so, whether that portion is threatened or endangered.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to make a final determination on a special rule for the Pacific Coast population of the threatened western snowy plover under section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act. The rule would eliminate the take prohibitions when entities involved in management activities have a habitat management plan that has been approved by the Service in the States of Washington, Oregon, and California. It would provide additional positive conservation benefits to the species while helping jurisdictions to meet their local conservation, economic, and recreational needs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We previously proposed to list six foreign bird species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). These species were the following: the Chatham petrel (Pterodroma axillaris), Fiji petrel (Peterodroma magentae), and magenta petrel (Pterodroma magentae) were proposed as endangered; and the Cook's petrel (Pterodroma cookii), Galapagos petrel (Pterodroma phaeopygia), and Heinroth's shearwater (Puffinus heinrothi) were proposed as threatened. We will now finalize our endangered listing for three birds only: The Chatham petrel, Fiji petrel, and magenta petrel. We will address the other species under RIN 1018-AW70.]]></ABSTRACT>

We are also removing Tamaulipas (Mexican) Crow, because of its limited distribution in the United States and an apparent decline in its numbers, and making other changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We published a 12-month finding on a petition to list four species of penguins as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.  Those four species of penguins are: Emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri), southern Rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome), northern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes moseleyi (E. chrysocome moseleyi)), and macaroni penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus). We received a petition from the public to list 12 penguin species. The petition did not contain substantial information on snares crested penguin (Eudyptes robustus) and royal penguin (Eudyptes schlegeli). (We are reviewing the other species in 1018-AV60 and 1018-AW40.)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are updating existing refuge-specific regulations in 50 CFR part 32 for the 2008-2009 hunting season. This is part of an annual update for the National Wildlife Refuge System that ensures adequate public notice of openings/changes. A separate rulemaking will be done this season for new openings. 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>Eagle Permits; Take Necessary To Protect Interests in a Particular Locality </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These permit regulations would authorize limited take of bald and golden eagles under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA), where the take to be authorized is associated with otherwise lawful activities. The regulations also would establish permit provisions for intentional take of eagle nests in rare cases where their location poses a risk to human safety or to the eagles themselves.  We originally proposed regulations for these purposes on June 5, 2007 (72 FR 31141).  We bifurcated the rulemaking and finalized the other portion under 1018-AV11 (the original RIN) on May 20, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Taxonomic Change To Recognize Three Distinct Species: Sclerocactus Brevispinus, S. Glaucus, and S. Wetlandicus</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We announced in a 12-month finding on a petition to list Sclerocactus brevispinus (Pariette cactus) under the Endangered Species Act that reclassifying S. brevispinus as endangered is warranted but precluded.  S. brevispinus is currently listed as threatened as part of the S. glaucus (Uinta Basin hookless cactus) complex.  We are revising the taxonomy of S. glaucus (previously considered a complex), which is currently listed as a threatened species, to recognize the three distinct species: S. brevispinus, S. glaucus, and S. wetlandicus.  Because these species make up what was formerly the complex, each will maintain its status as threatened.  In addition, we propose common names for S. glaucus (Colorado hookless cactus) and S. wetlandicus  (Uinta Basin hookless cactus).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are making a taxonomic change to the listing of Brachylophus species (iguana species native to Fiji) on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. In 1980, we listed as endangered the Fiji banded iguana (Brachylophus fasciatus) and the Fiji created iguana (Brachylophus vitiensis) (45 FR 18009, March 20, 1980). Because of recent taxonomic revision of Brachylophus, the two species have been classified as three distinct species. This rule will add the newly described Fijian iguana (Brachylophus bulabula) as endangered to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. All three species of iguana are endemic to the islands of Fiji.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Three Foreign Bird Species (Procellariidae; Tube-nosed Seabirds) as Threatened: Cooks Petrel, Galapagos Petrel, and Heinroths Shearwater </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are finalizing a rule to list three foreign bird species of the family Procellariidae as threatened on the List of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife and Plants: Cooks petrel (Pterodroma cookii), Galapagos petrel (Pterodroma phaeopygia), and Heinroths shearwater (Puffinus heinrothi). The Cooks petrel is endemic to the New Zealand archipelago; the Galapagos petrel is endemic to Galapagos Islands, Ecuador; and Heinroths shearwater is native to Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands. A proposed rule to list six foreign bird species of this family was published 12/17/2007 (RIN 1018-AV21). Three species were proposed as threatened and three species as endangered. A separate final rule will be published for the three species proposed as endangered (see related RIN 1018-AV21).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Critical Habitat Designation for Marbled Murrelet </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising the designation of critical habitat for marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus marmoratus), a threatened bird in Washington, Oregon, and California. We are removing approximately 254,070 ac (102,820 ha) in northern California and Oregon from the 1996 designation, based on new information indicating that these areas do not meet the definition of critical habitat. This action, if adopted in its entirety, would result in a revised designation of approximately 3,633,800 ac (1,470,550 ha) as critical habitat for the marbled murrelet. We are also making a taxonomic revision of the scientific name of the marbled murrelet from Brachyramphus marmoratus marmoratus to Brachyramphus marmoratus.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revised Critical Habitat Designation for Astragalus Jaegerianus (Lane Mountain Milk-Vetch)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 8, 2005, we published in the Federal Register a final rule (70 FR 18219) designating 0 (zero) acres of critical habitat for Astragalus jaegerianus. Per a settlement agreement, we propose to revise the critical habitat designation. We listed Astragalus jaegerianus as threatened on October 6, 1998 (63 FR 53596). This species is a perennial herb native and endemic to California. It is restricted in its range to a portion of the west Mojave Desert in California.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are changing our user fees for the importation and exportation of wildlife and wildlife products by increasing these fees for the current time through 2012. We must adjust these fees every year to cover the increased cost of providing our services. Our publishing these increases in advance will enable importers and exporters to accurately predict the costs of importing and exporting wildlife and wildlife products. We also 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 exemptions for circuses that import or export wildlife.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are extending two existing double-crested cormorant depredation orders: The aquaculture depredation order (50 CFR 21.47) authorizes take of double-crested cormorants at commercial freshwater fish farms in 13 States, and the public resource depredation order (50 CFR 21.48) authorizes States, Wildlife Services (U.S. Department of Agriculture), and Tribes to take double-crested cormorants to reduce adverse impacts to fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats in 24 States. Both these regulations will expired on April 30, 2009. Due to a continuing need to allow management of this abundant species, we wish to extend both of these orders by 5 years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Establishing the Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment of the Gray Wolf and Delisting This Distinct Population Segment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action establishes the Western Great Lakes (WGL) Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of the gray wolf (Canis lupus). The geographic extent of this DPS includes all of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan; the eastern half of North Dakota and South Dakota; the northern half of Iowa; the northern portions of Illinois and Indiana; and the northwestern portion of Ohio. We also remove the WGL DPS from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife established under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. We take these actions because available data indicate that the DPS no longer meets the definitions of threatened or endangered under the Act. The threats have been reduced or eliminated, as evidenced by a population that is stable or increasing in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, and greatly exceeds the numerical recovery criteria established in its recovery plan. Completed State wolf management plans will provide adequate protection and management of the WGL DPS after delisting. This regulatory action removes this DPS from the Lists of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife, removes the currently designated critical habitat for the gray wolf in Minnesota and Michigan, and removes the current special regulations for gray wolves in Minnesota.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grand Canyon National Park</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 necessary.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Delaware Water Gap NRA--Bicycle Trails </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise 36 CFR 7.71 to designate two trails for bicycle use. A detailed environmental assessment has identified appropriate bicycle trails, and current regulations require designation by special regulation. One trail, the Joseph McDade Recreational Trail, was funded and designated a multiple-use trail by the 105th Congress in 1999, and the second, the Blue Mountain Lakes Trail, would occupy abandoned roadways in what was once an area subdivided for housing.]]></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 no longer of archeological interest.  This determination may reduce management costs of federal archeological materials and constraints on storage space.  This rule defines a process for disposing of archeological materials.  The proposed rule focuses on disposal methods other than discarding and lays out a reasonable process for disposal that meets professional museum practices and standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Regulations for Grand Teton National Park</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would designate certain routes in Grand Teton National Park for bicycle use. The routes are segments of multi-use pathways that have been constructed, or are planned for construction, which are parallel to and within 50 feet of park roads.  It is necessary because the general regulation for bicycle use off park roads in units of the National Park System requires that a special regulation be promulgated in order to allow bicycle use on trails outside of developed areas. The rule would also close certain waters to fishing; prohibit fishing from bridges and docks; prohibit the use of fish eggs or fish as bait in all waters except the shores of Jackson Lake, allowing only certain dead non-game species; and close all waters except Jackson and Jenny Lake to motorboats, allowing a maximum of 7 ½ hp motors on those lakes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Placement of Excess Spoil</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 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>

        <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>Consolidation of Regulations Governing Administrative Forfeiture for Department of Justice Law Enforcement Agencies; Application of Department Regulations to Seizures for Forfeiture by ATF</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By this rule, the Department does seven things:

First, the rule modifies the regulations to recognize that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is now part of the Department of Justice.  On November 25, 2002, the President signed into law the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law No. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (2002).  Section 1111 of the Act established in the Department of Justice the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives," and generally transferred law enforcement functions, and seizure and forfeiture authority, of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms of the Department of the Treasury to the Department of Justice.  This transfer became effective on January 24, 2003. 

Second, the Department consolidates the regulations governing the seizure and administrative forfeiture of property by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in order to achieve greater consistency and promote overall fairness in the administrative forfeiture process by avoiding unnecessary differences in component procedures.  Among other things, the Department provides rules governing practical issues regarding the seizure, custody, inventory, appraisal, settlement, and release of property subject to forfeiture.

Third, the Department conforms the DEA, ATF, FBI, and Justice seizure and forfeiture regulations to address procedural changes necessitated by the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA), Public Law 106-185, other authorities and current forfeiture practice.  Where CAFRA is silent or ambiguous on a subject relating to administrative forfeiture procedure, the proposed rule interprets CAFRA and fills certain gaps.  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:  The requirement to file a bond for costs with a claim is eliminated;  the time for filing a claim is extended;  and the release of seized property is required under various circumstances.

Fourth, the Department adds a regulation allowing for the pre-forfeiture disposition of seized property where the property is liable to perish, waste or be greatly reduced in value by further retention, or where the expense of holding the property is disproportionate to its value.

Fifth, the Department adds discretionary authority for publication of notice for administrative forfeitures on the Internet in lieu of publication in a newspaper.

Sixth, the Department modifies the regulations at 28 CFR part 9 governing petitions for remission or mitigation of forfeiture to define the agency official with authority to grant petitions for remission or mitigation in administrative forfeiture proceedings, and to specify the Department official with authority to grant petitions for remission or mitigation in judicial forfeiture cases.

Seventh, the Department defines the standards governing administrative and judicial remission and mitigation decisions, including incorporation of CAFRAs statutory criteria for innocent ownership in determining petitions for remission or mitigation.]]></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.  It also proposes to streamline existing regulations to reduce the repetition of statutory language.  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[28 U.S.C. 589b requires the Attorney General to issue rules requiring uniform forms for periodic reports by debtors in possession and trustees in chapter 11 cases.  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>

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>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>Designation of Domestic and Foreign Law Enforcement Entities To Receive Cybertipline Reports Required Under the Protect Our Children Act of 2008</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Protect Our Children Act of 2008 (POCA), Public Law 110-401, title V, section 501(a) requires the Attorney General to designate the Federal law enforcement agencies to which the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) shall forward any cybertipline report received by NCMEC pursuant to the statute (codified at 18 U.S.C. 2258A(d)(2)); and the foreign law enforcement agencies to which NCMEC shall forward those reports (codified at 18 U.S.C. 2258A(d)(3)).  The provision requiring the Attorney General to designate Federal law enforcement agencies to receive these reports originated in earlier legislation-the October 30, 1998, Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act of 1998 (PCSPA), and subsequently in the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003 (PROTECT Act).  The cybertipline reporting requirement and the requirement for Attorney General regulations designating the Federal law enforcement agencies were codified in 42 U.S.C. 13032.  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.  See RIN 1105-AA65.  

Because POCA moves the statutory provision requiring the Attorney General designation of Federal Agencies from title 42 to title 18 of the Criminal Code, and because POCA adds a new designation requirement in addition to Federal agencies, the prior pending RINs (1105-AA65 and 1105-AB06) are superseded by this new RIN.  Note that RIN 1105-AB06 contemplated rulemaking that would provide guidance to the Electronic Service Providers covered by 42 U.S.C. 13032, NCMEC, and the designated law enforcement agencies on the content of the required reports.  The need for the rulemaking contemplated in RIN 1105-AB06 no longer exists, since POCA specifically provides that guidance.

Thus, the rulemaking proposed herein will re-designate the Federal Agencies to whom NCMEC shall forward cybertipline reports; and shall designate, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the foreign law enforcement agencies to which a cybertipline report may be forwarded, and will further establish the conditions under which such a report may be forwarded by NCMEC to such agencies, and will set forth a process for foreign law enforcement agencies to request assistance from Federal law enforcement agencies in obtaining evidence related to a cybertipline report.]]></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>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[Currently, access to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) index for non-Brady Act reasons is limited to two purposes: 1) For the issuance of firearm-related or explosives-related permits or licenses and 2) to respond to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) inquiries relating to the Gun Control Act or the National Firearms Act.  This rule amends FBI regulations to authorize criminal justice agencies to access the NICS Index to conduct background checks for the purpose of returning firearms in the possession of a law enforcement or criminal justice agency, including returning a firearm to a family member in suicide cases.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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.  This rulemaking is not a new action.  (For other CALEA-related rulemakings, see RINs 1110-AA10 and 1110-AA22.)</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Sections 104 and 109 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act--Notice of Actual and Maximum Capacity: Paging, MSS, SMR, and ESMR</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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.

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the "spot market" [provisions] of the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 (title VII of Pub. L. 109-177).  Importers, exporters, and persons conducting international transactions of all List I and List II chemicals will now be required to provide DEA with information on the person to whom they will transfer the listed chemicals and the amount to be transferred, and must now provide a return declaration once the importation, exportation, or international transaction has occurred.  These provisions will allow DEA to monitor efficiently the flow of chemicals that can be used illicitly to manufacture controlled substances.]]></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>

        <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>Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005: Fee for Self-Certification for Regulated Sellers of Scheduled Listed Chemical Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of its implementation of the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 (CMEA), "regulated sellers" or persons or entities selling scheduled listed chemical products at retail locations are required to self-certify with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) relative to certain requirements of the CMEA.  To recover the full costs of the certification process, which is part of the Diversion Control Program as mandated by the Controlled Substances Act, the DEA is proposing to charge regulated sellers, who are not DEA registrants, a fee for self-certification.]]></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>

        <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>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>

We also change the rules to conform with statutory authority regarding military prisoners and District of Columbia (DC) Code violators in Bureau custody.  Previously, our procedures for involuntary psychiatric treatment and medication did not apply to military prisoners or DC Code violators.  Under new statutory authority, military prisoners who are incompetent to stand trial, or who have been found not guilty by reason of lack of mental responsibility may now be committed to the Bureaus custody.  Sentenced DC Code offenders may now be involuntarily committed to a Bureau psychiatric hospital.  Such military prisoners and DC Code violators are subject to our regulations.  We revise the applicability statement accordingly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

        <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>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 sec. 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 sec. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Crime Victim Compensation Program regulations provide the parameters under which State agencies may use these funds to reimburse crime victims directly for expenses related to crime.  Expenses that must be covered are lost wages, medical and mental health costs, and funeral and burial costs.  States, at their discretion, may cover loss of support, crime scene cleanup, and other such expenses.

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.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Justice Programs of the U.S. Department of Justice proposes this rule to amend the regulation that implements the Public Safety Officers Benefits Act and associated or related statutes.  Generally speaking, these laws provide financial support to certain public safety officers, or their survivors and families, when such officers die, or become permanently and totally disabled, as a result of line-of-duty injuries, or when they die of heart attacks or strokes sustained within statutorily-specified timeframes of engaging or participating in certain line-of-duty activity.  The proposed rule would amend the implementing regulation to reflect internal agency policy and practice, recent statutory enactments and court decisions, and to make certain technical changes, in order to keep the regulations comprehensive and current]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Suspension of Deportation and Cancellation of Removal for Certain Battered Spouses and Children; Motions To Reopen for Certain Battered Spouses and Children</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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>

The rule is intended to improve fairness to aliens and to the Government, represented by the Department of Homeland Security, in removal, exclusion, deportation, asylum-only, and other proceedings; reduce delays in the adjudicative process; enable EOIR to better manage its caseload; reduce the existing backlog of cases; and provide for better focus on cases presenting significant issues of law and fact for resolution.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Asylum and Withholding Bars for Recruitment or Use of Child Soldiers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Child Soldiers Accountability Act of 2008 (CSAA) was enacted on October 3, 2008.   Public Law 110-340, 122 Stat. 3735.  The CSAA establishes a criminal offense for the recruitment or use of child soldiers, new grounds of inadmissibility and deportability for aliens who have engaged in such recruitment or use, and subjects applicants for asylum or withholding of removal (under sections 241(b)(3) of the INA) to the eligibility bars for such relief/protection under sections 208(b)(2)(A)(iii) and 241(b)(3) (B)(iii) of the INA, respectively.  

Sections 241(b)(3)(B)(iii) and  208(b)(2)(A)(iii) of the Act state that aliens are ineligible for withholding of removal or asylum, respectively, where it is determined that "there are serious reasons for believing that the alien has committed a serious nonpolitical crime outside the United States prior to the arrival of the alien in the United States."  Pursuant to the CSAA, for purposes of sections 208(b)(2)(A)(iii) of the Act (asylum) and 241(b)(3)(B)(iii) (withholding of removal) an alien who is subject to the child solider grounds of inadmissibility or deportability "shall be considered an alien with respect to whom there are serious reasons to believe that the alien committed a serious nonpolitical crime."]]></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>Information Relating to Aliens&apos; Duty To Surrender When Ordered Removed From the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice published an NPRM in 1998 and a supplemental NPRM in 2002 (RIN 1115-AE82) to establish that aliens who become subject to a final order of removal have a legal obligation to surrender for removal.  

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[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>Reorganization of Regulations on Control of Employment of Aliens</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended, transferred the functions of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) from the Department of Justice to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); however, it retained within the Department of Justice the functions of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), a separate agency within the Department of Justice.  Because the existing regulations often intermingled the responsibilities of the former INS and EOIR, this transfer required a reorganization of title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in February 2003, including the establishment of a new chapter V in 8 CFR pertaining to EOIR.  As part of this reorganization, a number of regulations pertaining to the responsibilities of DHS intentionally were duplicated in the new chapter V because of shared responsibilities.  The Department of Justice now has determined that most of the duplicated regulations in part 1274a pertain to functions that are DHS's responsibility and do not need to be reproduced in EOIR's regulations in chapter V.  This interim rule, therefore, deletes unnecessary regulations in part 1274a and makes appropriate reference to the applicable DHS regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 6 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>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. Item 1 of this rulemaking proceeding is related to the implementation of the Child Safety Lock Act of 2005 (CSLA), RIN 1140-AA26.  While Public Law 105-277 requires applicants for dealer's licenses to certify that secure gun storage or safety devices will be available at any place where firearms are sold to nonlicensees, the CSLA makes it unlawful for any licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer to sell, deliver, or transfer any handgun to any person, other than another licensee, unless the transferee (buyer) is provided with a secure gun storage or safety device for that handgun.]]></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>

        <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.]]></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>

        <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 1998.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (Title II and Title III of the ADA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending its regulations implementing title II and title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 28 CFR part 35 and 28 CFR part 36, to implement changes to the ADA enacted in the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, Public Law 110-325, 122 Stat. 3553 (Sept. 25, 2008). The ADA Amendments Act took effect on January 1, 2009.
  
The ADA Amendments Act amended the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 12101, et seq., to clarify terms within the definition of disability and to establish standards that must be applied to determine if a person has a covered disability.  These changes are intended to mitigate the effects of the Supreme Court's decisions in Sutton v. United Airlines, 527 U.S. 471 (1999), and Toyota Motor Manufacturing v. Williams, 534, U.S. 184 (2002).  Specifically, the ADA Amendments Act:

--  Adds illustrative lists of "major life activities," including "major bodily functions," that provide more examples of covered activities and covered conditions than are now contained in agency regulations (sec. 3(2)); 

-- Clarifies that a person who is "regarded as" having a disability does not have to be regarded as being substantially limited in a major life activity (sec. 3(3)); and

-- Adds rules of construction regarding the definition of disability that provide guidance in applying the term "substantially limits" and prohibit consideration of mitigating measures in determining whether a person has a disability (sec. 3(4)).]]></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 is 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 simplified and clarified the preparation of the proposed rule. 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 accompanied 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 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 issued as the second step of the above described title III rulemaking.  This notice proposed to adopt revised ADA Standards for Accessible Design consistent with the minimum guidelines of the revised ADAAG, and initiated the review of the regulation in accordance with the requirements of section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 26, 1991, the Department published its final rule implementing title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). On November 16, 1999, the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) issued its first comprehensive review of the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (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 simplified and clarified 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 accompanied 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 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 issued as the second step of the above-described title III rulemaking. This notice also proposed to eliminate the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) as an alternative to the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>Implementation of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending its regulations implementing section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 28 CFR part 39 and part 42, subpart G, and its regulation implementing E.O. 12250, 28 CFR part 41, to reflect statutory amendments to the definition of disability enacted in the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, Public Law 110-325, 122 Stat. 3553 (Sept. 25, 2008). The ADA Amendments Act took effect on January 1, 2009.

The ADA Amendments Act revised 29 U.S.C. section 705, to make the definition of disability used in the nondiscrimination provisions in title V of the Rehabilitation Act consistent with the amended ADA requirements.  These amendments: 

-- Add illustrative lists of "major life activities," including "major bodily functions," that provide more examples of covered activities and covered conditions than are now contained in agency regulations (sec. 3(2));

-- Clarify that a person who is "regarded as" having a disability does not have to be regarded as being substantially limited in a major life activity (sec. 3(3)); and

-- Add rules of construction regarding the definition of disability that provide guidance in applying the term "substantially limits" and prohibit consideration of mitigating measures in determining whether a person has a disability (sec. 3(4)).

The Department anticipates that these changes will published for comment in a proposed rule within the next 12 months.  During the drafting of these revisions, the Department will also review the currently published rules to ensure that any other statutory changes in the Rehabilitation Act have been properly addressed in these regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

The YouthBuild program model targets are high school dropouts, adjudicated youth, youth aging out of foster care, and other at-risk youth populations. The program model balances in-school learning, geared toward a high school diploma or GED, and construction skills training, geared toward a career placement for the youth.  DOL intends to develop regulations in response to the legislation and to guide the program implementation and management.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Older Americans Act Amendments of 2006, Pub. L. 109-365, enacted on October 17, 2006, contains provisions amending title V of that Act, which 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(2) of title V requires that the Agency establish and implement new measures of performance by July 1, 2007.  Section 513(b)(3) requires that the Secretary issue definitions of indicators of performance through regulation after consultation with stakeholders.  Therefore, this Interim Final Rule (IFR) 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>

The Amendments instituted a number of significant changes to the 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 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.

        <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 the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Reauthorization Act of 2005 (NRDARA), Public Law 109-423, 120 Stat. 2900 (2006).  In 2000, the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999 (NRDAA), Public Law 106-95, 113 Stat. 1312 (1999),  amended the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a temporary visa program for nonimmigrant aliens to work as registered nurses for up to 3 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 21, 2000.  Before the NRDARA was enacted on December 20, 2006, the Department determined on April 24, 2006, 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 visa 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 that 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>Modernizing the Labor Certification Process and Enforcement for Temporary Agricultural Employment of H-2A Aliens in the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Labor proposes to suspend for nine months the H-2A regulations published on December 18, 2008, which became effective on January 17, 2009, that amended the rules governing the certification for temporary employment of nonimmigrant workers in agricultural occupations on a temporary or seasonal basis, and the enforcement of contractual obligations applicable to employers of such nonimmigrant workers.  

A suspension would provide the Department with an opportunity to review and reconsider the new requirements in light of issues that have arisen since the publication of the H-2A Final Rule, while minimizing the disruption to the Department, State Workforce Agencies, employers, and workers.  To avoid the regulatory vacuum that would result from a suspension, DOL proposes to reinstate on an interim basis the rules that were in place on January 16, 2009, the day before the revised rules became effective.]]></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 3 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 1 year of enactment of the statute and the Department has been given interim final rulemaking authority.]]></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 (Pub. L. 109-280) amended ERISA by adding new sections 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Executive Order 13495 of January 30, 2009, Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts, establishes the policy that Federal service contracts generally include a clause requiring the contractor and its subcontractors, under a contract that succeeds a contract for the same or similar service at the same location, to offer qualified employees (except managerial and supervisory personnel) employed on the predecessor contract a right of first refusal to employment under the successor contract.  The order assigns enforcement responsibility to the Secretary of Labor and directs the Secretary, in consultation with the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, to issue regulations, within 180 days of the order to the extent permitted by law, to implement the order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Defense Base Act (DBA), 42 U.S.C. section 1651 et seq., provides workers compensation benefits for civilian employees of U.S. Government contractors injured or killed while working overseas.  The DBA authorizes the Secretary of Labor to waive application of the DBA in any contract, subcontract, location, or class of employees upon the recommendation of the head of any department or agency of the U.S. Government. 42 U.S.C. section 1651(e).  Over the years, DOL has granted a variety of waivers without any published rules.  This proposed regulation would clarify the procedures for agencies to request waivers, including who may request a waiver, the format of a waiver request, and the supporting information required.  The regulation would also explain DOLs procedures for reviewing and granting a waiver, including the factors DOL considers in granting a waiver and the conditions and limitations of any waiver granted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations Implementing the Longshore and Harbor Workers&apos; Compensation Act:  Recreational Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 amended the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. 901-950, to exclude from the Act's coverage certain employees who repair recreational vessels and who dismantle them for repair, regardless of the vessel's length.  To implement this amendment, the Department anticipates proposing a rule that addresses the definition of recreational vessel, coverage of those employees who work in both covered employment and employment excluded under the amendment, and the interplay between State workers' compensation coverage and Longshore Act coverage for those who repair recreational vessels and who dismantle them for repair.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Notice; Proposal to Rescind the Form T-1; Require Subsidiary Organization Reporting; Revise Interpretation Regarding LMRDA Coverage of Public Sector Intermediate Unions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 2, 2008, the Department published a final rule establishing a Form T-1, Trust Annual Report, which certain labor organizations must file to disclose financial information regarding trusts in which they are interested pursuant to the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA).  This rulemaking would propose to rescind the Form T-1.  It would instead propose that filers of Forms LM-2 and LM-3, Labor Organization Annual Reports, report on their wholly owned, wholly controlled and wholly financed (subsidiary) organizations on their Form LM-2 or Form LM-3 reports.  Additionally, the rulemaking would propose to change an interpretation of the LMRDA regarding intermediate bodies.  The proposed revised interpretation would state that intermediate bodies are covered only if they are themselves composed, in whole or part, of private sector affiliates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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 50µg/m3 and 25µg/m3 exposure limits, respectively, 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. In addition, the proposed rule will recognize that the PELs for construction and maritime are outdated and need to be revised to reflect current sampling and analytical technologies.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Over the past several years, the Agency has attempted to address this problem through a variety of non-regulatory approaches, including initiation of a Special Emphasis Program on silica in October 1997, sponsorship with NIOSH and MSHA of the National Conference to Eliminate Silicosis, and dissemination of guidance information on its Web site. The Agency is currently evaluating several options for the scope of the rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Beryllium</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1999 and 2001, OSHA was petitioned to issue an emergency temporary standard by the Paper Allied-Industrial, Chemical, and Energy Workers Union, Public Citizen Health Research Group, and others. The Agency denied the petitions but stated its intent to begin data gathering to collect needed information on beryllium's toxicity, risks, and patterns of usage.

On November 26, 2002, OSHA published a Request for Information (RFI) (67 FR 70707) to solicit information pertinent to occupational exposure to beryllium including: Current exposures to beryllium; the relationship between exposure to beryllium and the development of adverse health effects; exposure assessment and monitoring methods; exposure control methods; and medical surveillance. In addition, the Agency conducted field surveys of selected work sites to assess current exposures and control methods being used to reduce employee exposures to beryllium. OSHA convened a Small Business Advocacy Review Panel under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) and completed the SBREFA Report in January 2008.]]></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, but has initiated 6(b) rulemaking.

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.  OSHA published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on January 21, 2009, but withdrew the ANPRM on March 17, 2009, in order to facilitate timely development of a standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tree Care Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the 11-year period from 1992 through 2002 for which ornamental shrub and tree services fatality data are available from BLS, there were 637 fatalities in the industry, an average of about 58 fatalities per year or a rate of about 93 fatalities per 100,000 employees.

To prevent many of these fatalities, OSHA will develop a standard on tree-trimming work, including maintaining and removing trees and brush.  OSHA has standards on logging and line-clearance tree trimming that have been applied to activities performed by tree-care workers.  Although there is an existing national consensus standard on tree-trimming work, American National Standards Institute Standard ANSI Z133.1-2006, Safety Requirements for Arboricultural Operations, OSHA has no comprehensive standard to address this type of work.  The ANPRM requested  information on such hazards as electrocution, falls, and struck by falling objects, as well as hazards associated with equipment used in tree-trimming work, including chippers, chain saws, and stump cutters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Combustible Dust</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is considering rulemaking to develop a combustible dust standard for general industry.  The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) completed a study of combustible dust hazards in late 2006, which identified 281 combustible dust incidents between 1980 and 2005 that killed 119 workers and injured 718.  The CSB also recommended the Agency pursue rulemaking on this issue.  While a number of OSHA standards address aspects of this risk among these are: 1910.22 Housekeeping, 1910.38 Emergency Action Plans, 1910.94 Ventilation, 1910.107 Spray Finishing, 1910.146 Permit Required Confined Spaces, 1910.269 Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution (coal handling), 1910.272 Grain Handling Facilities, 1910.307 Hazard Communication), the Agency does not have a comprehensive standard that addresses combustible dust hazards.  The Agency has published a Safety and Health Information Bulletin, Combustible Dust in Industry: Preventing and Mitigating the Effects of Fire and Explosions, and has implemented a Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program (NEP). OSHA will also use information gathered from the NEP as the agency considers future rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA published a final rule on February 28, 2006 on the Occupational Exposures to Hexavalent Chromium.  OSHA was subsequently sued on portions of the rulemaking. The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit remanded the employee notification of exposure results provisions of the Hexavalent Chromium final rule to OSHA for the agency to either provide an explanation for its decision to require notification only where employee exposure exceeds the permissible exposure limit (PEL) or take such further action as may be appropriate.  The Agency is currently considering how to respond to the court remand.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Confined Spaces in Construction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In January 1993, OSHA issued a general industry rule to protect employees who enter confined spaces (29 CFR 1910.146). This standard does not apply to the construction industry because of differences in the nature of the worksite in the construction industry. In discussions with the United Steel Workers of America on a settlement agreement for the general industry standard, OSHA agreed to issue a proposed rule to extend confined-space protection to construction workers appropriate to their work environment.]]></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. The proposed rule was published December 20, 2007.]]></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 35 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 work on power generation, transmission, and distribution installations.  OSHA published an NPRM on June 15, 2005.  A public hearing was held March 6 to 14, 2006. OSHA reopened the record to gather additional information on minimum approach distances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Walking Working Surfaces and Personal Fall Protection Systems (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>

        <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.  An NPRM on Personal Protective (PPE) consensus standards was published on August 31, 2007, with a hearing on December 4, 2007.  A direct final rule (DFR) on Miscellaneous Changes and Welding Definitions was published on December 14, 2007.  In the next phase of the project, OSHA intends to publish a DFR to update consensus standards referenced for acetylene, and issue a final rule on the PPE consensus standards.]]></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 (U.S.), 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 long-standing 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 adopting the GHS into their national regulatory systems.  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, including European Union, have adopted the GHS with implementation schedule through 2015.  U.S. 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Abbreviated Portacount® Quantitative Fit-Testing Protocol </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Appendix A of OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134) specifies the procedure for adding new test protocols to this standard.  OSHA proposes to include two additional protocols for the PortaCount® quantitative fit testing methodology in its Respiratory Protection Standard; the proposed protocols would apply to employers in general industry, shipyard employment, and the construction industry.  The revised PortaCount® quantitative fit testing protocols are referred to as the Revised PortaCount® Quantitative Fit Test Protocol 1 and Protocol 2.  The only difference between the proposed revised PortaCount® Protocol 1 and the approved PortaCount® protocol is that the revised Protocol 1 requires that the seven test exercises be performed for 30 seconds instead of the 60 seconds per test currently required.  The revised Protocol 2 would reduce exercise time to 40 seconds instead of the currently required 60 seconds, eliminate two of the eight fit testing exercises, and would raise the pass/fail criterion from 100 to 200 for half-masks and 500 to 1,000 for full facepieces.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Illinois State Plan for Public Employees Only--Initial State Plan Approval</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA will propose to grant initial State Plan approval, under section 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and 29 CFR 1956, to the Illinois State Plan for Public Employees Only as submitted by the Illinois Department of Labor.  The plan proposes to establish a program for the adoption and enforcement of standards applicable only to the employees of the State of Illinois and its political subdivisions (local government employees) within a 3-year developmental period, which will be at least as effective as Federal OSHAs private sector protection program.  Written public comment will be sought on whether initial State plan approval should be granted and an opportunity to interested persons to request an informal public hearing, prior to final action granting initial approval of a developmental State Plan. 

Initial approval of the Illinois Public Employee Only State plan is contingent upon a determination that the plan meets, or will meet within three years, OSHAs initial plan approval criteria and the availability of Federal (50%) and State (50%) matching funds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Handling Discrimination Complaints Under Federal Employee Protection Statutes</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Abbreviated Bitrix Qualitative Fit-Testing Protocol </RULE_TITLE>
        <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. The NPRM was published on December 26, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Handling Employee Retaliation Complaints Under the National Transit Systems Security Act of 2007; Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982, as Amended; and Federal Rail Safety Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA will implement procedures for the handling and investigation of retaliation complaints pursuant to section 1521 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007.  This Act amended the Federal Rail Safety Act (FRSA), to establish a new whistleblower protection provision to be administered by OSHA that provides protections from retaliation to employees working for railroad carriers and their contractors and subcontractors who report potential violations or engage in certain activities related to safety and security.  

OSHA will implement procedures for the handling and investigation of retaliation complaints pursuant to section 1413 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007.  Section 1413, known as the National Transit Systems Security Act (NTSSA), included a new whistleblower protection provision to be administered by OSHA that provides protection from retaliation to employees of public transportation agencies and their contractors and subcontractors who report potential violations or engage in certain activities related to safety and security.  

OSHA will amend 29 CFR 1978, the procedures applicable to the handling and investigation of whistleblower complaints under the Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA), 49 U.S.C. 31105, to implement statutory changes enacted by Congress under section 1536 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, and to provide other procedural updates as needed.  The statute provides retaliation protection to employees working for commercial motor carriers who report potential violations or engage in certain activities related to safety and security. 

Pursuant to these statutes, the rules will set forth the procedures for handling and investigating retaliation complaints, including a statutory "kick-out" provision allowing the complainant to file the complaint in District Court if the Secretary of Labor has not issued a final decision within 210 days of the filing of the complaint.  Immediate implementation of these regulations is necessitated to govern whistleblower investigations conducted under the new and revised statutes.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is amending 29 CFR 1910.109, which 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 considering its next step.]]></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. The Request for Information was published on September 11, 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards Improvement</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 (SIP) 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 published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 21, 2006, to solicit input from the public on rules that may be addressed in Phase III of SIP.  The Agency plans to include both safety and health topics in Phase III.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 look-back 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 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 is currently planning to base the revision of the Mechanical Power Presses standard on the most recent version of the American National Standards Institute 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA proposes to revise its regulations for the federally funded On-site Consultation Program to: a) provide a 1-year deletion from OSHAs programmed inspection schedule for those employers who request and receive a full service safety and health, consultation visit; agree to correct identified hazards within established time frames; post notice of identified hazard(s) and begin to implement procedures for regularly identifying and preventing hazards; b) provide a deferral from OSHAs programmed inspection schedule for up to 18 months for those employers working toward achieving recognition and exemption status; c) extend the deletion period from OSHAs programmed inspection schedule for a period of up to 2 years for those employers participating in OSHAs recognition and exemption program; and d) allow Compliance Safety and Health Officers to proceed with enforcement visits resulting from referrals at sites undergoing Consultation visits and at sites that have been awarded Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) status.  Note: SHARP is a recognition program that OSHA administers to provide incentives and support for small employers to develop, implement, and continuously improve effective safety and health programs at their worksites.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA issued a final rule on Longshoring on July 25, 1997 (62 FR 40142). 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. OSHA worked with national and international organizations to gather additional information on the safety of VTLs. The Agency 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 closed on June 27, 2005. The Agency published a final rule on December 10, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Standards To Clarify the Individualized Nature of Employer Duties To Provide PPE and Train Employees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA amended its standards for general industry, maritime and construction to clarify that when a standard requires the employer to provide PPE to employees, or train employees, each employee not provided PPE or trained is a separate instance of a violation of the standard. The amendment clarifies the remedy available to OSHA for violations of the PPE and training standards; it does not change the standards substantive requirements in any way and will add no new regulatory burden.

A variety of OSHA standards require that employers provide and ensure the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as respirators or protective clothing, where necessary because of a workplace hazard.  The specific language of the standards varies.  For example, the respiratory protection provisions of most specific standards state that for employees who use respirators required by this section, the employer must provide respirators that comply with the requirements of this paragraph, See, for example, 29 CFR 1926 1101(h) (1), while the coke oven emissions standard, 29 CFR 1910.1029(h) requires employers "to provide and ensure the use of" flame resistant clothing and other protective gear.  

OSHA standards also require that employers train employees on hazards to which they may be exposed, including hazards requiring PPE.  Some training provisions, such as the provision in the general industry PPE standard, 29 CFR 1910.132(f), specifically state that training must be provided to each employee required to use PPE.  Other training provisions are more generally worded.  For example, the training provision in the hazard communication standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200(h) states that employers shall provide employees with effective information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment and whenever [a new hazard is introduced]. 

Despite minor differences in wording between them, all standards requiring employers to provide PPE to employees because of a hazard required the employer to provide the PPE to each individual employee covered by the requirement.  Similarly, standards requiring employers to provide training to employees require the employer to train each individual employee.  

The Agency has consistently maintained that each employee not provided PPE or trained is a separate instance of a violation that may, in appropriate circumstances, be separately cited.  The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission has suggested that variations in the wording of OSHAs PPE and training provisions may affect the agencys authority to assess per-employee violations.  In Secretary of Labor v. Eric K. Ho, Ho Ho Ho Express, Inc. and Houston Fruitland, Inc., 20 O.S.H. Cas. (BNA) 1361, 1371-72 (Review Commn 2003), the Commission majority ruled that the Secretary could not issue per-employee citations for failure to provide respirators under a prior provision of the construction asbestos standard.  In a later decision, the Commission stated that the slightly different language of the general respirator provision requirement in the lead standard permitted per-employee citations.  Secretary of Labor v. Manganas Painting Co., Inc., 21 O.S.H. Cas. (BNA) 1964, 1998-99 (Review Commn 2007).  

The amendment clarifies the agencys ability to issue per-instance violations for each employee not trained or not provided PPE under general industry, construction and maritime standards requiring training and PPE.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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) is 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.  MSHA will also solicit comment on whether the exposure limit for respirable coal mine dust be lower and, if so, how should it be lowered.]]></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 publish a notice soliciting additional comments.]]></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 publish a notice soliciting additional comments.]]></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.  

Phase 1 was completed with the final rule published on December 31, 2008 (73 FR 8058).  The second phase will be Intrinsic Safety Requirements.  This action will be published second because the MINER Act requires underground coal mine operators to submit an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) that sets forth a means of providing post-accident communication and electronic tracking by June 15, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Field Modifications of Permissible Mobile Diesel-Powered Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The implementation of diesel regulations in 30 CFR parts 30 CFR 7, 30 CFR 36, 30 CFR 57, 30 CFR 72, and 30 CFR 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>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 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 used in underground coal mines.  

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>

The Court's ruling requires state employees on state-sponsored mine rescue teams to train at small mines semi-annually instead of annually and to participate in two mine rescue contests annually instead of one.  In addition, mine-site teams at small mines will have to train semi-annually instead of annually.  MSHA will publish a final rule to conform the existing rule to the Court's decision.]]></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 (100ug) 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 recommends a 50 ug/m3 exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica, and ACGIH recommends a 25 ug/m3 exposure limit.  MSHA will publish a proposed rule to reduce the exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Coal Mine Dust Personal Monitors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Existing 30 CFR part 74, specifies requirements for approval of coal mine dust personal sampler units designed to determine the concentrations of respirable coal dust in coal mine atmospheres; procedures for applying for such approval; tests procedures; and labeling.

This rulemaking established new requirements that both the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) would use to approve coal mine dust personal samplers.  The requirements would permit the approval of a new type of device, the "continuous personal dust monitor."  It would also update design specifications for the coal mine dust personal sampler units to include improvements made to this device in the past 15 years.  This rulemaking does not address the requirements in 30 CFR parts 70, 71, and 90 on the use of dust samplers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Coal Mine Dust (Lowering Exposure Limit)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 established the first comprehensive respirable dust standards for coal mines. These standards were designed to reduce the incidence of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (black Lung) and silicosis and eventually eliminate these diseases. While significant progress has been made toward improving the health conditions in our Nation's coal mines, miners continue to be at risk of developing occupational lung disease, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). In September 1995, NIOSH issued a Criteria Document in which it recommended that the respirable coal mine dust permissible exposure limit (PEL) be cut in half. In February 1996, the Secretary of Labor convened a Federal Advisory Committee on the Elimination of Pneumoconiosis Among Coal Miners (Advisory Committee) to assess the adequacy of MSHA's current program and standards to control respirable dust in underground and surface coal mines, as well as other ways to eliminate black lung and silicosis among coal miners. The Committee represented the labor, industry, and academic communities. The Committee submitted its report to the Secretary of Labor in November 1996, with the majority of the recommendations unanimously supported by the Committee members. The Committee recommended that MSHA consider lowering the coal dust PEL.  Recent NIOSH data indicates increased prevalence of CWP "clusters" in several geographical areas; particularly in the Southern Appalachian Region.  MSHA will publish a proposed rule to lower the coal mine dust permissible exposure limit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA is investigating refuge alternatives for use in underground coal mines.  Refuge alternatives, such as rescue chambers, and other structures or systems, could be used to increase the survival of miners trapped underground.  Section 13 of the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 requires the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to study refuge alternatives.  Section 112(b) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008 requires MSHA to propose regulations by June 15, 2008, consistent with the recommendations of NIOSH, requiring rescue chambers in underground coal mines,or facilities that provide at least the same measure of protection, and to finalize the regulations by December 31, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flame Resistant Conveyor Belts, Fire Protection and Detection, and Use of Air From the Belt Entry
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposal would implement the recommendations of the Technical Study Panel (Panel) for the Utilization of Belt Air and the Composition and Fire Retardant Properties of Belt Material in Underground Coal Mining.  Consistent with the MINER Act, the proposal includes MSHAs response to the Panels report.  Based on the Panels recommendations, MSHA is proposing new and revised safety standards for underground coal mines concerning 15 of the 20 recommendations.  The remaining recommendations would not require rulemaking.  MSHA proposes new standards for:  conveyor belt flammability; qualifying Atmospheric Monitoring System operators; levels of methane and respirable dust in belt entries; airlocks between air courses; minimum and maximum air velocities; approval for the use of air from the belt entry to ventilate working sections; monitoring and remotely closing point-feed regulators; smoke sensors; standardized tactile signals on lifelines; replacing point-type heat sensors with carbon monoxide sensors; and belt conveyor and belt entry maintenance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule implements the requirements to the Passport Services Enhancement Act of 2005, amending the Passport Act of June 4, 1920, to authorize the Secretary of State to establish and collect a surcharge to cover costs of meeting the increased demand for passports as a result of actions taken to comply with section 7209(b)of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA).  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prioritization and Allocation Authority Exercised By the Secretary of Transportation Under the Defense Production Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would clarify the prioritization and allocation authorities exercised by the Secretary of Transportation under the Defense Production Act (DPA).  The DPA is the President´s primary authority to ensure timely availability of private sector resources for national defense.  In addition to military and energy activities, the definition of "national defense" includes emergency preparedness activities conducted pursuant to Title VI of The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act and the protection and restoration of critical infrastructure.

Under Title I of the DPA, the President has the authority to require the acceptance and prioritization of contracts and orders--and to allocate materials, services, and facilities--in support of the national defense.  Under Section 201 of Executive Order 12919, the President has delegated these prioritization and allocation authorities to the Secretary of Transportation for all forms of civil transportation.  Although DOT has internal protocols for its prioritization and allocation authorities, a recent GAO Report recommended--and DOT agreed in the report--that the Department should develop and implement a priorities and allocation system.  DOT further stated that it would "develop regulations" for such a system.  Much of the decisionmaking takes place within the Department; however, a regulation clarifying the Department´s authorities and procedures under the DPA would help to facilitate and expedite, if necessary, the provision of civil transportation in the national defense.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs: Alcohol Testing Form and Drug and Alcohol Management Information Systems Form Updates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance (ODAPC) would amend its drug and alcohol testing procedures to authorize employers to begin using the updated U.S. DOT Alcohol Testing Form (ATF) and the Management Information System (MIS) Data Collection Form.  These forms were updated as a result of the Department´s routine submission and subsequent approval of an information collection notice in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995.

In approving the Department´s submission, OMB required minor updates to the standard PRA language on both forms.  The ATF and MIS were also updated to include the current address of the Department, and a DOT form number.  The ATF was also updated to include additional instructions to the testing technician so that the tamper evident tape does not obscure the test result and the legends of the test result boxes were adjusted so they don´t obscure printed test results.  Other than the changes just mentioned, the content and format of the forms from the previous versions would remain the same.

Both forms are used in the DOT´s drug and alcohol testing program which applies to the FRA, FAA, FTA, FMCSA, PHMSA, and the USCG (MIS form only).  The ATF is used to document data from each alcohol test conducted, to include the test results, and used by employers to take appropriate action to ensure safety in the workplace.  The MIS form includes employer specific drug and alcohol testing information (e.g., reason for the test, cumulative number of positive, negative, and refusal results) which is then used by each of the affected DOT agencies when calculating their random testing rates.

This Direct Final Rule is necessary so that we can republish the forms with the updated information.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Transportation (Department) is seeking input from interested parties on the recommendation of the National Transportation Safety Board (Safety Board or NTSB) that customers of on-demand air taxi services be advised, at the time they contract for a flight, of: (1) The name of the company with operational control of the flight; (2) any "doing business as" names contained in such company´s Operations Specification; (3) the name of the aircraft owner; and (4) the name of any broker involved in arranging the flight.  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>

As required by the Debts Collections Improvement Act, the Department refers eligible past due debts to the Financial Management Service (FMS), within Department of the Treasury, for collection.  FMS acts as a facilitator between the Department and the debtor.  This rulemaking would establish notification procedures for the debtor and those procedures by which the Department would conduct hearings, when one is requested by the debtor.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would adjust the statutorily-mandated gross receipts cap on DBE firm size in the Federally-assisted contracts DBE program, as required under SAFETEA-LU.  The adjustment is made to keep up with inflation every year.  This rulemaking would also adjust for inflation the size limits for DBE concession firms in the airport concessions DBE program.  The annual update for the gross receipts cap and the size limits maintain the status quo in terms of real dollars.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking revised the minimum limit on domestic baggage liability applicable to air carriers to reflect inflation since July 2006, the basis month of the most recent previous revision to the liability limit.  The Department is required to periodically revise the limit to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index.  This revision adjusted the minimum limit of liability from the current amount of $3,000 announced by the Department in January 2007 to $3,300, to take into account the changes in consumer prices since the prior revision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commuter Operations in Very Light Jets (VLJs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish a rule to allow passenger-carrying commuter operations to be conducted under the provisions of part 135 using multiengine turbojets, certificated under either part 23 or part 25, configured with 9 or fewer passenger seats.  The rulemaking would allow multiengine turbojet operators to provide commuter service to the traveling public, thus accommodating new techonologies and a new generation of turbojet airplanes that otherwise would not be allowed in part 135 commuter service.  Since 1995, turbojets used in scheduled operations must operate under the provisions of part 121. This current rulemaking resulted, in part, from recommendations from the Aviation Rulemaking Committee for parts 14 CFR 135/125 and covers pilot crew, equipment, training, and dispatch requirements for the safe operation of this new generation airplane.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and Aircraft Dispatchers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations for crewmember and dispatcher training programs in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations.  The rulemaking would enhance traditional training programs by requiring the use of flight simulation training devices for flight crewmembers and including additional training requirements in areas that are critical to safety.  The rulemaking would also reorganize and revise the qualification and training requirements.  The changes are intended to contribute significantly to reducing aviation accidents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pilot-in-Command Proficiency Check in Single-Piloted Turbojet Airplanes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would require proficiency checks for pilots in command (PIC) of single-piloted turbojet powered airplanes, allow pilot schools to use Internet-based training without requiring schools to have a physical ground training facility, allow pilot schools and provisional pilot schools to apply for a combined private pilot certification and instrument rating course, and revise the definitions of "complex airplane" and "high performance airplane." FAA believes these actions are necessary to respond to changes in the aviation industry and to avoid imposing unnecessary regulatory burdens.  The intended effect of this rule would be to ensure flight crewmembers have the training and qualifications necessary to operate aircraft safely.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action results from an accident investigation and responds to a National Transportation Safety Board recommendation.  The intended affect of this action would be to prevent a misunderstanding of what VA is and the extent of structural protection that exists when an airplane is flying at speeds below VA from causing or contributing to future accidents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would change the requirements for the pressure discharge of extinguishing agent containers as to the location of the discharge and the means to detect a discharge.  This rulemaking would align the operational requirements for part 135 on-demand operations with 10 or more passengers, and certification requirements of part 25 regarding over-pressurization and thermal discharge of airplane extinguishing agent containers or fire bottles to prevent bursting.  This action would also eliminate the requirement for an over-pressurized fire bottle to discharge extinguishing agent outside an airplane to prevent bursting and change the requirement for the indicator to be located at the discharge nozzle, as newer non-corrosive extinguishing agents can now be 
discharged inside an airplane without degrading an airframe.]]></ABSTRACT>

Currently, during passenger boarding and deplaning, all flight attendants are required to be onboard the airplane and this frequently complicates a flight attendant’s ability to complete other safety-related duties required by FAA regulations, and may lead to unintended negative consequences.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Crew Resources Management Training for Crewmembers and Flight Followers in Part 135 Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require Crew Resource Management (CRM) training for all pilots and flight attendants in 14 CFR part 135 operations.  CRM training teaches crewmembers to effectively use all resources available to them (e.g. hardware, software, and all persons involved in aircraft operation) to achieve safe and efficient flight operations. This rulemaking is needed to ensure that all crewmembers in part 135 operations receive training and practice in the use of CRM principles, as appropriate for their operation.  The intended effect of this rulemaking is to reduce accidents and incidents within the scope of part 135 operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would rescind the final rule Congestion Management Rule for John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport.  The final rule established procedures to address congestion in the New York City area by assigning slots at John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Newark Liberty (Newark) International Airports, assigning to existing operators the majority of slots at the airports, and creating a market by annually auctioning off a limited number of slots in each of the first five years of the rule.  The final rule also contained provisions for minimum usage, capping unscheduled operations, and withdrawal for operational need.  The rule was scheduled to sunset in ten years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Congestion Management Rule for LaGuardia Airport</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would rescind the final rule Congestion Management Rule for LaGuardia Airport.  The final rule established procedures to address congestion in the New York City area by assigning slots at LaGuardia Airport (LaGuardia), assigning to existing operators the majority of slots at the airports, and creating a market by annually auctioning off a limited number of slots in each of the first five years of the rule.  The final rule also contained provisions for minimum usage, capping unscheduled operations, and withdrawal for operational need.  The rule was scheduled to sunset in ten years.]]></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 would 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 would 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 would retitle the rule and reformat it into sections that closely reflect the aeronautical study process.   These changes incorporate case law and legislative action, and simplify the rule language.  The intended effect of these 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 into the airworthiness limitations section of the instructions for continued airworthiness.  This rulemaking would also prohibit operation of an affected airplane beyond the LOV, unless an operator has incorporated an extended LOV and any necessary service information into its maintenance program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Part 145: Repair Stations--Ratings and Quality System
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rulemaking would withdraw a previously published Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).  The NPRM proposed to revise the system of ratings and require repair stations to establish a quality program.  The NPRM also proposed to require each repair station to maintain a capability list, designate a chief inspector, and have permanent housing for facilities, equipment, materials, and personnel.  The proposal would have specified additional instances where the FAA may deny a repair station certificate, and clarified some existing repair station regulations.  We are withdrawing the NPRM, because we have determined that it does not adequately address the current repair station environment and because of the significant issues commenters raised.]]></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>Parachute Repack Authorization</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address 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 an unsupervised, non-certificated person and expressly limit that authority to packing the main parachute of a dual system only when that person will be the next jumper to use the parachute.  This action would correct inadvertent changes to the regulatory language in the 2001 revision of the rule and would enhance the safety of parachute operations in the National Airspace System (NAS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Production and Airworthiness Approvals </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the certification procedures and identification requirements for aeronautical products and articles.  These amendments would update and standardize those requirements for production approval holders (PAHs), revise export airworthiness approval requirements to facilitate global manufacturing, move all part marking requirements from part 21 to part 45, and amend the identification requirements for products and articles.  The intent of these changes is to continue to promote safety by ensuring that aircraft, and products and articles designed specifically for use in aircraft, wherever manufactured, meet appropriate minimum standards for design and construction.  This rulemaking was split from RIN 2120-AI78.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would allow the use of the Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODP) or an alternative procedure assigned by Air Traffic Control (ATC).  This rulemaking would also alleviate potential fines and noncompliance in communication and area navigation equipment operations (RNAV).  This is necessary to allow alternative routes by ATC at airports with ODP, and disruption of communication signals caused by the terrain.  The intended effect is to allow flexibilities in departures, and compliance to RNAV.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment on aircraft to operate in certain classes of airspace within the United States National Airspace System.  The rulemaking is necessary to accommodate the expected increase in demand for air transportation, as described in the Next Generation Air Transportation System Integrated Plan.  The intended effect of this rule is to provide the Federal Aviation Administration with a comprehensive surveillance system that accommodates the anticipated increase in operations and would provide a platform for additional flight applications and services.]]></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. This action is considered significant because of substantial public interest.  The FAA is considering proposing additional changes in response to comments received on the NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the airworthiness standards applicable to transport category airplanes certificated for flight in icing conditions and the icing airworthiness standards applicable to aircraft engines.  The rulemaking would improve safety by taking into account supercooled large drop icing conditions for transport category airplanes most affected by supercooled large drop icing conditions.  The rulemaking would also include mixed phase and ice crystal conditions for all transport category airplanes, and supercooled large drop, mixed phase, and ice crystal icing conditions for all turbine engines.  This rulemaking is the result of information gathered from a review of icing accidents and incidents, and is intended to improve the level of safety for new airplane and engine designs for operations in icing conditions.]]></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 regulations governing flight data recorders to increase the number of digital flight data recorder parameters for all Boeing 737 series airplanes manufactured after August 18, 2000.  This change is based on safety recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board following its investigations of two accidents and several incidents involving 737s.  This rulemaking would also adopt a prohibition on deviations from flight recorder requirements for all airplanes operated under part 125.]]></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 changes would 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 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.  Some of the information reported here, under RIN 2120-AI78, was inadvertently included.  It pertains to RIN 2120-AJ44. The rulemaking under RIN 2120-AI78 was published on 11/23/2007 and became effective on 1/14/2008.  Rulemaking 2120-AI78 is complete and will not be on the next report.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Worker Visibility</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FHWA´s Worker Visibility regulations (23 CFR part 634) currently require workers whose duties place them on or in close proximity to a Federal-aid highway to wear high-visibility safety apparel, which is defined as any garment meeting the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 107-2004 Class 2 or 3 standard.  The FHWA is amending the current regulations to provide an exemption for firefighters actively engaged in emergency operations where they are directly exposed to flame, fire, heat and/or hazardous materials.  The firefighting community has raised safety concerns that the required high-visibility safety apparel could cause operational problems for firefighters and could result in decreased safety for individual firefighters because a material that meets the fluorescent color of the ANSI 107-2004 standard and is heat- and flame-resistant to the degree required by firefighters and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards have not been developed.  Therefore, it is possible that, by complying with 23 CFR part 634, a firefighter wearing a high-visibility garment could be at a greater risk of injury.  Due to imminent safety implications to firefighters, the FHWA has determined that there is good cause under the Administrative Procedure Act to dispense with notice and opportunity for comment as it would be contrary to the public interest and has developed an interim final rule to respond to these safety concerns.]]></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.  This rulemaking would also seek to resolve inconsistencies between the regulation and the new 23 U.S.C. 139, created by section 6002 of SAFETEA-LU.  Finally, this rulemaking would 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>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 (FMCSRs) to incorporate new performance standards for electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs) installed in commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) manufactured 2 years after the effective date of a final rule.  On-board hours-of-service recording devices meeting FMCSA´s current requirements and voluntarily installed in CMVs manufactured before that date could continue to be used for the remainder of the service life of those CMVs.  Motor carriers that have demonstrated a history of serious noncompliance with the hours-of-service (HOS) rules would be subject to mandatory installation of EOBRs meeting the new performance standards (a remedial directive). The motor carrier would then be required to install EOBRs in all of its CMVs regardless of their date of manufacture and to use the devices for HOS recordkeeping for a period of 2 years, unless the carrier already had equipped its vehicles with automatic on-board recording devices (AOBRDs) meeting the Agency´s current requirements under 49 CFR 395.15 and could demonstrate to FMCSA that its drivers understand how to use the devices. FMCSA would encourage industry-wide use of EOBRs by providing the following incentives for motor carriers to voluntarily use EOBRs in their CMVs: Revising the Agency´s compliance review procedures to permit examination of a random sample of drivers´ records of duty status; and providing partial relief from HOS supporting documents requirements, if certain conditions are satisfied.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish revisions to the commercial driver's license knowledge and skills testing standards as required by section 4019 of TEA-21, implement fraud detection and prevention initiatives at the State driver licensing agencies as required by the SAFE Port Act of 2006, and establish new minimum Federal standards for States to issue commercial learner's permits (CLPs), based in part on the requirements of section 4122 of SAFETEA-LU.  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require behind-the-wheel and classroom training for persons who must hold a commercial driver´s license to operate commercial motor vehicles. This action is in response to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit´s December 2005 decision remanding the May 21, 2004, Final Rule, "Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level Commercial Motor Vehicle Operators" to the Agency for further consideration. The rulemaking will consider the effectiveness of CMV driver training in reducing crashes, the appropriate types and levels of training that should be mandated, and related costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Application by Certain Mexico-Domiciled Motor Carriers To Operate Beyond U.S. Municipalities and Commercial Zones on the U.S.-Mexico Border</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would change FMCSA regulations to govern applications by Mexican carriers to operate beyond municipalities and commercial zones at the United State-Mexico border. It would also revise the application form, OP-1MX, to be filed by these Mexican motor carriers. The revised form would require 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>

        <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 Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Certification Requirements as Part of the Commercial Driver&apos;s License </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to require interstate commercial driver's license (CDL) holders subject to the physical qualification requirements of the FMCSRs to provide a current original or copy of their medical examiner's certificates to their State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA). The regulations also require the SDLA to record in the Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) driver record the self-certification the driver made regarding applicability of the Federal driver qualification rules and, for drivers subject to those requirements, the medical certification status information specified in the rule. This action was required by section 215 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will change the New Entrant Safety Assurance Process by raising the standard of compliance for passing the new entrant safety audit. It also makes 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 rule will improve the Agency's ability to identify at-risk new entrant carriers and will ensure deficiencies in basic safety management controls are corrected before the new entrant is granted permanent registration. These changes will not impose additional operational requirements on any new entrant carrier. All new entrants will 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Intermodal Equipment Providers and Motor Carriers and Drivers Operating Intermodal Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require entities that offer intermodal container chassis for transportation in interstate commerce to: file a Motor Carrier Identification Report (Form MCS-150); display a USDOT identification number on each chassis offered for such transportation; establish a systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance program to ensure the safe operating condition of each chassis offered for transportation and maintain documentation of the program; and provide a means for effectively responding to driver and motor carrier complaints about the condition of intermodal container chassis. The rulemaking is considered significant because of substantial industry and congressional interest and because it involves other departmental modes.  It is required by SAFETEA-LU.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hours of Service of Drivers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A rulemaking action was initiated in response to the July 2007 decision by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that vacated specific provisions of the Agency´s Hours of Service rule published on August 25, 2005.  The Court invalidated two provisions: the first relates to increasing the daily driving limit from 10 to 11 hours; the second provision permits drivers to restart their count of weekly accumulations of hours after taking 34 consecutive hours off duty.  The Court´s mandate issued on December 27, 2007; The Agency issued the Interim Final Rule to establish what hours of service are in effect.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Route Designation Requirement for Motor Carriers Transporting Passengers Over Regular Routes  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend FMCSA regulations to reflect that the Agency will no longer require applicants seeking regular-route operating authority to submit a detailed description of the route(s) over which they propose to operate. Rather, the Agency would propose to register passenger carriers seeking regular-route operating authority as regular-route carriers without requiring designation of specific regular routes or fixed termini. FMCSA believes this rulemaking would reduce the burden on regular-route carriers seeking to expand or change their routes, as well as the Agency, by eliminating the need to file and process multiple applications containing detailed routes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend Federal Motor Vehicle Standard No. 111; Rearview Mirrors, to reflect requirements contained in the Cameron Gulbransen Kids Transportation Safety Act of 2007.  The Act requires that NHTSA expand the required field of view to enable the driver of a motor vehicle to detect areas behind the motor vehicle to reduce death and injury resulting from backing incidents, particularly incidents involving small children and disabled persons.  According to the Act, such a standard may be met by the provision of additional mirrors, sensors, cameras, or other technology to expand the driver?s field of view.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would upgrade FMVSS No. 119 by increasing the stringency of the endurance test and by adding a new high speed test for tires used on vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of over 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds). The endurance test would be a 47-hour test conducted at a speed of 80 km/h, and the high speed test would be a 90-minute test conducted at speeds of 100 km/h, 110 km/h, and 120 km/h with 30 minutes at each speed step. FMVSS No. 119 applies to new tires with a load range of F, G, H, J, L, or N.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMVSS Part 595, Make Inoperative Exemptions--Vehicle Modifications To Accommodate People With Disabilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would create a new exemption to the make inoperative prohibition in FMVSS part 595. Part 595 establishes exemption to the make inoperative prohibition for certain sections of certain Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) under the limited circumstances when vehicles are modified to be used by persons with disabilities. Otherwise the modifiers of the vehicles would be subject to prosecution for making inoperative equipment required by the safety standards. Bruno manufactures a special seat that rotates and extends outside the doorway to allow mobility-impaired drivers and passengers convenient and safe entry into a vehicle. Provisions of FMVSS No. 202a that become effective September 1, 2009, require higher head restraints that would prevent the operation of such seats. This rulemaking would create a new exemption to make inoperative prohibition for the new head restraint requirement, to allow the continued use of transfer seats for mobility-impaired drivers and passengers. It would also make editorial changes to correct an error in paragraph references regarding similar exemptions to the current FMVSS No. 202.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ejection Mitigation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would create a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) for reducing occupant ejection. Currently, there are over 52,000 annual ejections in motor vehicle crashes, and over 10,000 ejected fatalities per year. This rulemaking would propose new requirements for reducing occupant ejection through passenger vehicle side widows. The requirement would be an occupant containment requirement on the amount of allowable excursion through passenger vehicle side windows. The SAFETEA-LU legislation requires that: "[t]he Secretary shall also initiate a rulemaking proceeding to establish performance standards to reduce complete and partial ejections of vehicle occupants from outboard seating positions. In formulating the standards the Secretary shall consider various ejection mitigation systems. The Secretary shall issue a final rule under this paragraph no later than October 1, 2009."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registered Importers of Vehicles Not Originally Manufactured To Conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend NHTSA's regulations that pertain to the importation by registered importers (RIs) of motor vehicles that were not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety, bumper, and theft prevention standards.  The amendments, which are intended to address specific problems that NHTSA has encountered in its administration of the RI program, would, among other things: require applicants for RI status to disclose to the agency whether they have been convicted of a crime involving the importation or sale of a motor vehicle and would permit the agency to automatically suspend the registration of any RI that has been convicted of such a crime;  require an RI to destroy or export from the United States nonconforming motor vehicle equipment removed from an imported vehicle that has undergone conformance modifications and to certify to NHTSA that those items have been exported or destroyed;  and reflect new requirements for the importation of a motor vehicle by an RI for the purpose of petitioning the agency to decide that the vehicle is eligible for importation.  The agency would also adopt a more workable definition of the term "model year" for the purpose of making import eligibility decisions, and require that the petition include the type classification of the vehicle at issue.  Several technical amendments to the RI regulations would also be made.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would make minor technical modifications to the abdominal insert drawing and femur of the part 572, subpart N, Hybrid III 6-year-old child dummy.  This rulemaking was initiated in part in response to a petition from dummy manufacturers, First Technology Safety Systems and Denton, ATD, regarding changes to the abdominal insert drawing.  This rulemaking would make minor dimensional amendments to the abdominal insert drawing and would also upgrade the current Hybrid III 6-year-old child dummy femur design.  The femur revisions were initiated in response to the agency's observance of multiple failures of the Hybrid III 6-year-old child dummy femur in agency sled tests evaluating child restraint systems.  The recommended design change would improve the durability of the part.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 (10,000) of the occupant fatalities. Light trucks are more prone to rollover, and they represent about half of the U.S. fleet. This rulemaking is significant because of public interest in vehicle safety.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Subpart T Hybrid III-10C Dummy, 10-Year-Old Child</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 a 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>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>

The agency has tentatively concluded that the original safety problem the standard was intended to address no longer exists.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would upgrade FMVSS No. 122, Motorcycle Brake Systems, by adopting the best practices from motorcycle brake performance requirements from various National standards, including FMVSS No. 122, UNECE Regulation 78, and Japan Safety Standards 12-61, among others. The upgrade would include several braking tests, which would include stops on a high friction test surface from low, medium and high speeds; wet brake tests; heat fade tests, and antilock brake system performance tests on both high and low friction test surfaces.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rescind 2012 Sunset on Seat Belt Lockability in FMVSS No. 208</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would rescind the September 1, 2012 sunset date for the lockability requirements of FMVSS No. 208, Occupant Crash Protection, for seating positions that provide Lower Anchorage and Tethers for Children (LATCH). Upon review of the present misuse and non-use of LATCH and the influx of high-weight harness child restraint systems, NHTSA believes there is a continued need for lockable lap belts in order to ensure the safety of children, particularly those with special needs. NHTSA does not expect this rulemaking to provide added safety benefits or impose costs to the vehicle manufacturers beyond that which vehicles currently provide today. Vehicle manufacturers currently provide lockable lap belts in LATCH-equipped designated seating positions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would make minor amendments to part 572 in response to petition issues. On December 14, 2006, NHTSA issued a final rule incorporating the SID-IIsD side impact crash test dummy into 49 CFR part 572. The agency received three petitions for reconsideration in response to the final rule. Petitions were submitted by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, First Technology Safety Systems, Inc., and Denton ATD, Inc.  The petitioners concerns included adjustments to iliac material/design, and modification of the dummy qualification and pelvis plug certification corridors and procedures. They additionally petitioned on other minor issues associated with dummy clothing, temperature/soak times, and signal noise. They also requested a number of technical corrections and other minor changes to the drawing package.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMVSS No. 202a, Head Restraint Response to Petitions for Reconsideration  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 4, 2007, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a final rule responding to petitions for reconsideration of the FMVSS No. 202, "Head restraints" upgrade. In response, manufacturers requested relief with regard to rear seat non-use positions, phase-in schedules for small volume manufacturers, and other technical clarifications. We are denying most of the requests due to the lack of supporting data. We are granting one technical clarification on the test procedure. 

In addition, the agency received new petitions for rulemaking related to a "Discomfort Metric" and other alternative rear seat non-use options and an "effective backset" requirement. We are denying the effective backset requirement since it will not result in increased benefits, and we are reserving final judgment on the alternative rear seat non-use options since the Discomfort Metric has recently been accepted as part of the Global Technical Regulation (GTR) for head restraints. While the Discomfort Metric is not being proposed in this notice responding to petitions, it will be addressed by NHTSA as part of the required rulemaking action that will address the GTR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would upgrade FMVSS No. 124 to bring it up-to-date and resolve questions about how to treat new electronic accelerator control systems, or any systems other than purely mechanical ones, which were the only kind in use when FMVSS No. 124 was last amended in 1973. The agency has had to issue a number of interpretations about the applicability of FMVSS No. 124 to electronic components and connections and by specifying new compliance test procedures. This is increasingly necessary as mechanical linkages are phased out altogether in favor of throttle-by-wire systems with no direct mechanical linkage between the accelerator pedal and the throttle on the engine.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend NHTSA's regulations establishing fees authorized by 49 U.S.C. 30141 for the purpose of reimbursing the government for certain costs incurred in administering the vehicle importation program.  The amendments will adjust the fees to the level necessary for the government to recover the agency's actual costs.  The agency is required under 49 U.S.C. 30141(e) to review and adjust these fees at least every two years.  The fees were last adjusted in September 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Delay of Effective Date for Use of Hybrid III 6-Year-Old Dummy in FMVSS No. 213 Child Restraint Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would delay the date of required use of the Hybrid III 6-year-old (HIII-6C) dummy in Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) No. 213 to August 1, 2010.  On January 23, 2008, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) that proposed procedures for positioning the HIII-6C and 10-year-old dummies in booster seats for FMVSS No. 213 compliance testing.  As part of this SNPRM, in order to allow manufacturers sufficient time to incorporate this seating procedure into their compliance testing with the HIII-6C dummy, the Agency proposed to postpone the required use of the HIII-6C in FMVSS No. 213 (currently August 1, 2008) until August 1, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Roadway Worker Protection; Adjacent-Track On-Track Safety</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would simplify the determination regarding whether or not adjacent track protection is required for roadway work groups engaged in large-scale maintenance or construction, pursuant to 49 CFR part 214. The recent increase in roadway worker fatalities that have occurred on adjacent track has caused some concern at FRA and throughout the industry, even prompting the filing of a petition for emergency order. FRA issued a notice of safety advisory to address the issue in May of 2004; however, it appears that the effects were not long-lasting. This rulemaking is based on the consensus language developed through the Roadway Worker Protection (RWP) Working Group of FRA´s Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

As the first step in the rulemaking process, this ANPRM will obtain the views of the industry, other stakeholders, and the pubic on a number of subjects, including, specifically, the appropriate scope of such a rule; the definition of "major capital project"; the technical capacity and capability of project sponsors; the requirements for Project Management Plans; readiness criteria for major capital projects; the role of risk assessments in project development; and financial plans for major capital projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the existing state safety oversight rule to bring it into conformity with SAFETEA-LU and to make other changes.  The rule would establish a uniform safety standard for public transportation agencies that operate a rail system in more than one state, and would authorize State Safety Oversight Agencies to begin the oversight process during the design of a rail fixed guideway system, rather than waiting until the commencement of revenue service.  The rule would also address recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board concerning recommended equipment and personnel standards for rail operators.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Buy America; Petition for Rulemaking</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address the treatment of bi-metallic aluminum rail under FTA's Buy America rule.   Presently, both running rail (carrying the weight of the train) and power rail (carrying the electric power supply) are treated alike under the Buy America regulation, i.e., all rail products must be produced in the United States, including all manufacturing processes, except metallurgical processes involving refinement of steel additives.  During its recent Buy America rulemaking, FTA received several requests to classify bi-metallic aluminum rail as "traction power equipment."  Such a move would subject bi-metallic aluminum rail to a 60/40% domestic/non-domestic content requirement, provided that final assembly takes place in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend 49 CFR part 601 to add a new subpart 601 E.  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.  This rulemaking is nonsignificant and informational because it simply would amend 49 CFR part 601 to cross-reference DHS´ administrative procedures for awarding $150 million in public transportation security grants, as mandated by section 3028(c) of SAFETEA-LU.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Urbanized Area Formula Grant Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 18, 2007, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued its "Final Bulletin For Agency Good Guidance Practices."  This Bulletin, and subsequent guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), observed that guidance documents are not legally binding; that is, they do not create new, independent legal requirements.   With the Urbanized Area Formula Grant Program, NPRM, FTA would begin the process of codifying its guidance documents.  This rulemaking would address policies currently found in guidance documents for the Urbanized Area Formula Program.  This program provides Federal assistance for planning, capital and operating projects for urbanized areas over 50,000 in population.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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, and (3) limited instances in which an existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane is converted to a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lane.  This rulemaking would also seek to resolve inconsistencies between the regulation and the new 23 U.S.C. 139, created by section 6002 of SAFETEA-LU.  Finally, this rulemaking would 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>

        <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 establish a new part 612 in the Code of Federal Regulations.  It 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.  FTA recently determined that a contractor performance incentive does not require a rulemaking be effectuated. Rather, FTA can work with project sponsors on a case-by-case basis to provide incentives, and, therefore, the rulemaking is withdrawn.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1121 of Public Law 110-140, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (Energy Bill), directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish a short sea transportation program and designate short sea transportation projects to mitigate landside congestion. It does not appropriate any funds. It also established three key program milestones, the first of which is to develop interim regulations to implement the program by March 19, 2008. Final regulations are required by October 1, 2008, and a report to Congress is due on December 19, 2008. The draft interim regulations must contain four key components that meet the requirements set forth in the Energy Bill: (1) Designation of Marine Highway Corridors modeled after the Department of Transportation (DOT) Corridors of the Future Program and intended to encourage multi-jurisdictional coalitions to apply for designation as a corridor. (2) Designation of Marine Highway Projects: We intend to select specific projects through an application process that will identify the projects that offer the best public benefit (congestion mitigation, emissions and energy reductions, etc.) and likelihood of success.(3) Incentives, Impediments and Solutions: The Energy Bill requires that we provide recommendations to Congress in December, 2008. DOT is directed to identify short term incentives, establish a Board to identify and seek solutions to impediments, and work with transportation planners to incorporate the Marine Highway in transportation planning. (4) Research: It requires DOT to work with the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct research to support America´s Marine Highway, within the limitations of available resources. The Maritime Administration believes this rulemaking does not rise to the level of a significant rulemaking as set forth in section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend 49 U.S.C. 1.66 Delegations to the Maritime Administration. On October 6, 2006, Public Law 109-304 was enacted to complete the codification of title 46 of the United States Code, "Shipping," as positive law, by reorganizing and restating the laws that are currently in the appendix to Title 46. The numerous statutory changes enacted by Public Law 109-304, require conforming amendments to be made to the applicable regulations. This rulemaking would make corrections to the citations in the delegations of authority to the Maritime Administrator by the Secretary of the Department of Transportation.  The Maritime Administration believes this rulemaking does not rise to the level of a significant rulemaking as set forth in section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would request information from industry that would consider whether additional regulatory requirements governing bulk loading and unloading operations are necessary.  PHMSA has reviewed transportation incident data and findings of several National Transportation Safety Board and Chemical Safety Board accident investigations involving bulk hazardous materials loading and unloading operations, which suggest there may be opportunities to enhance the safety of such operations.  In particular, PHMSA is examining what, if any, safety benefits would accrue from a requirement for persons conducting bulk loading and unloading operations to develop and implement operating procedures governing these operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

PHMSA is considering measures to reduce the incidence of package failures and to minimize the consequences of failures should they occur.  This rulemaking would require additional measures to verify packaging integrity, such as performance testing, and revisions to packaging requirements, such as the addition of liners or absorbent material.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to two industry petitions for rulemaking, this rulemaking will reconsider and refine the list of hazardous materials for which security plans are currently required.  The industry petitioners asked PHMSA to amend the security plan regulations to create a distinction between hazardous materials that present a significant security risk while in transportation and the vast majority of hazardous materials that pose no significant security risk in transportation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control Room Management/Human Factors  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require operators of natural gas pipelines, hazardous liquid pipelines, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, to identify and employ specific procedures to improve control room operations, controller training, and controller qualifications.  It would require operators to develop, implement, and submit to PHMSA (or the appropriate State), a human factors management plan designed to reduce risks associated with human factors.  This would require operators to include in their plans a maximum limit on the hours of service for individuals employed as controllers.  It would also require operators to periodically review their management of computer-based control system alarms and to verify that the control systems provide accurate and timely information to controllers.  This rulemaking would further require each operator to validate the implementation of the program elements applicable to their individual control system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the statutorily mandated registration and fee assessment program for persons who transport or offer for transportation certain categories and quantities of hazardous materials.  For those registrants not qualifying as a small business or not-for-profit organization, PHMSA would increase the fee from $975 (plus a $25 administrative fee) to $2,475 (plus a $25 administrative fee) for registration year 2009-2010 and following years.  For small businesses, the registration fee would remain at its current level of $975 (plus a $25 administrative fee).  The increase is necessary to fund the national Hazardous Material Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grants program at its authorized level of $28,000,000.  The purpose of the HMEP grants program is to support hazardous material emergency response planning and training activities by States, local governments, and Indian tribes and related activities in accordance with U.S.C. 5108(b) and 5116.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would incorporate by reference two American Petroleum Institute (API) standards:  the 44th edition of API 5L, "Specification for Line Pipe" and the 20th edition of API 1104, "Welding of Pipelines and Related Facilities."  The former specifies the minimum design requirements for the construction of seamless and welded steel-lined pipe and the latter specifies methods for the production of high-quality welds through the use of qualified welders using approved welding procedures, materials and equipment. This rulemaking would be issued as a direct final rule because PHMSA is retaining the current standards and this rulemaking would provide pipeline operators with the option of using the current standards or the standards that would be adopted in this direct final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Requirements for Storage of Explosives During Transportation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address the current safety and security risks associated with the storage of explosives during transportation.  The HMR require shipments stored during transportation to conform to the same requirements that apply when the shipments are actually moving and for the shipping company to have security plans covering its shipments.  Otherwise, the HMR do not include specific requirements for facilities at which explosives or other high-hazard materials are stored during transportation.  The HMR do not establish specific standards for storage facilities nor do they limit the amount of material that may be stored in a single location.  Through this rulemaking, the agency will evaluate the adequacy of existing regulatory requirements and the need for additional, more specific requirements.  In particular, the agency is considering whether current industry standards applicable to the storage of explosives should be incorporated by reference into the HMR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. This rulemaking was scheduled to have a final rule published by 12/24/2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would allow operation of certain steel gas transmission pipelines at pressures based on higher stress levels, resulting in an increase of maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) over that currently allowed in the regulations.  The rulemaking would also require a new pipeline to meet more rigorous design and construction standards as a condition for an operator to calculate the MAOP based on higher stress levels.  The rulemaking would also require the operator of a new or existing pipeline operating at the increased MAOP to comply with added operation and maintenance requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety: Polyamide-11 (PA-11) Plastic Pipe Design Pressure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise the Federal pipeline safety regulations in 49 CFR Part 192 to allow thermoplastic pipelines made from new Polyamide-11 (PA-11) pipe to be designed and operated at higher operating (internal) pressures.  The rulemaking accomplishes this by raising the internal pressure design factor and design pressure limits in part 192 for new PA-11 pipe.  The improved technical performance of PA-11 pipe allows it to be operated safely at higher operating (internal) pressures and provides pipeline operators an additional option for new pipeline installations and/or the replacement of pipe in existing pipelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials:  Revision to Requirements for Transportation of Batteries and Battery-Powered Devices; and Harmonization With the United Nations Recommendations, International Maritime Dangerous </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal hazardous materials transportation law (Federal hazmat law; 49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) requires PHMSA to align the HMR with international transport standards and requirements to the extent practicable (see section 5120).  This rulemaking would amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to maintain consistency with international standards.  The amendments are necessary because of recent changes to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, the International Civil Aviation Organization´s (ICAO) Technical Instructions for the Safe Transportation of Dangerous Goods and the United Nations (UN) Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.  Harmonization serves to facilitate international transportation while ensuring the safety of people, property, and the environment. The most significant revisions include (1) incorporation by reference of the updated ICAO Technical Instructions, IMDG Code and UN Recommendations; (2) amendments to the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) to add, revise or remove certain proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations, bulk packaging requirements, passenger and cargo aircraft maximum quantity limitations and vessel stowage provisions; (3) revisions to requirements for the transportation of fuel cells; and (4) expanded exceptions for small quantities of certain hazardous materials.  In addition, this rulemaking would revise and clarify battery and battery-powered devices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials Regulations:  Penalty Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would make revisions to baseline civil assessments for violation of regulations issued under Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. Chapter 51).  This final rule is published under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 5123 which provides civil penalties for violations of Federal hazardous material transportation law or a regulation, order, special permit, or approval issued under that law.  These guidelines were first published in the Federal Register on March 6, 1995, in response to a request contained in Senate Report 103-150 that accompanied the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1994, and are updated periodically.  The revisions contemplated would have incorporated risked-based assessment criteria to the penalty guidelines.  This action will be terminated because we need to complete additional analysis on how the risk-based assessment criteria would be applied.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expanded Methods of Payment of Duties, Taxes, Interest, and Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations to expand the number of ways that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will accept the payment of duties, taxes, fees, interest and other charges.  Currently, the regulations provide that credit or charge cards, which have been authorized by the Commissioner of CBP, may be used for the payment of duties, taxes, fees, interest and other charges at designated CBP-serviced locations.  Payment in this manner is currently limited to non-commercial entries.  In this document, CBP is proposing to expand this provision by allowing credit and charge cards that are authorized by the Commissioner of CBP to be used for the payment of these charges for certain commercial entries.  This amendment, if adopted, would assist CBP in improving customer service and financial management and facilitate the overall entry process.]]></ABSTRACT>

Pursuant to this centralization, all continuous bonds would be filed at the CPB's Revenue Division via mail, fax, or in an electronic format. The CPB's Revenue Division 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to title 19 of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations relating to the declaration, entry, and dutiable status of repair expenditures made abroad for certain vessels.  The amendments would conform the regulations to legislation providing an exemption from vessel repair duties for cost of certain equipment, repair parts, and materials; 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.  These amendments would improve the efficiency of vessel repair entry processing and make the regulations more transparent.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury proposes to amend subpart C of its DC Pensions rules promulgated pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, as amended (the Act).  Pursuant to the Act, Treasurys Office of DC Pensions (ODCP) has responsibility for payment of benefits based on service accrued as of June 30, 1997, under the retirement plans for District of Columbia teachers, police officers, and firefighters.  Benefits for service after that date are funded by the District of Columbia.  The amended regulations establish the methodology for determining the split between the Federal and District benefit payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Customs Broker Recordkeeping Requirements Regarding Location and Method of Record Retention</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations regarding the customs broker recordkeeping requirements as they pertain to the location and method of record retention.  Proposed changes to permit a licensed customs broker to store records relating to his customs transactions at any location within the customs territory of the United States, so long as the broker's designated recordkeeping contact, identified in the broker's permit application, makes all records available to CBP within a reasonable period of time from request at the broker district that covers the CBP port to which the records relate.  It is also proposed to remove the requirement, as it currently applies to brokers, that certain entry records must be retained in its original format for the 120-day period after the release or conditional release of imported merchandise.  The amendments are intended to conform CBP's recordkeeping requirements to reflect modern business practices whereby documents are often generated, stored and transmitted in an electronic format.  The amendments will serve to remove duplicative recordkeeping requirements and streamline recordkeeping procedures for brokers without compromising the agency's ability to monitor and enforce recordkeeping compliance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>Uniform Rules of Origin of Imported Merchandise</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to the U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Regulations to establish uniform rules governing CBP determinations of the country of origin of imported merchandise.  This proposal would extend application of the country of origin rules codified in 19 CFR part 102.  Those rules have proven to be more objective and transparent and provide greater predictability in determining the country of origin of imported merchandise than the system of case-by-case adjudication they would replace.  The proposed change also will aid an importers exercise of reasonable care.  In addition, this document proposes to amend the country of origin rules applicable to pipe fittings and flanges, printed greeting cards, glass optical fiber, and rice preparations.  Finally, this document proposes amendments to the textile regulations set forth in section 102.21 to make corrections so that the regulations reflect the language of section 334(b)(5) of the Uruguay Round Agreement Act Amendment to set forth uniform rules for determining the country of origin of imported goods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This amendment will allow CBP to be more responsive to claims of piracy.  Amendment would allow sound recordings and motion pictures or similar audio-visual works to be recorded with CBP while pending registration with the U.S. Copyright Office.  Amendment would also enhance the protection of all non-U.S. works by allowing recordation without requiring registration with the U.S. Copyright Office.  Amendment would also set forth changes to CBP's enforcement procedures, including, among other things, enhanced disclosure provisions, protection for live musical performances, and provisions to enforce the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 amendments would extend the blanket withdrawal procedure for duty-free merchandise 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 amendments would permit Class 9 warehouses to utilize existing technological systems more effectively and extend the time period for which merchandise may remain in a bonded warehouse under certain circumstances.  The 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[As the statutorily authorized administrator of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program, Treasury is issuing proposed and final regulations to implement the Program.  Under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, Public Law 107-297, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005, Public Law 109-144, and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, Public Law 110-160, the Federal Government shares the risk of insured losses from certified acts of terrorism with commercial property and casualty insurers.  This rule incorporates and clarifies statutory requirements for the $100,000,000,000 cap on annual liability for insured losses.  The rule establishes how Treasury will determine whether the cap on annual liability for insured losses has been reached and, if so, how Treasury will determine the pro rata share of insured losses to be paid by each insurer that incurs insured losses under the Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As the statutorily authorized administrator of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program, Treasury is issuing interim final regulations to implement the Program.  On December 26, 2007, the President signed into law the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, extending the Program until December 31, 2014, revising the definition of "act of terrorism," and containing other new statutory requirements which were effective immediately.  On January 29, 2008, pending the issuance of regulations, interim guidance was published in the Federal Register to assist insurers and others in complying with the Programs mandatory availability requirements and disclosure notice requirements.  This rule addresses the same requirements previously addressed in the interim guidance and also conforms Program regulations with the already effective statutory changes to the definitions of "act of terrorism," "Program Years," and "insurer deductible" and the calculation of the Federal share of insured losses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Payment and Refund of Quarterly Harbor Maintenance Fees  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to part 24 of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations prescribing an alternative procedure by which payers of the quarterly harbor maintenance fee (HMF) may submit payments or refund requests to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) electronically via an Internet account established by the payer and located at www.pay.gov.  CBP will continue to accept quarterly HMF payments or refund requests via mail. This document also clarifies the regulations to state that each HMF quarterly payment, whether paper or electronic, must be accompanied by a CBP Form 349 (HMF Quarterly Summary Report) and that supplemental HMF payments must be accompanied by both a CBP Form 350 (HMF Amended Quarterly Summary Report) and a CBP Form 349.  The changes set forth in this document are intended to provide the trade with an expanded electronic payment/refund option for quarterly HMF payments and to modernize and enhance CBPs port use fee collection efforts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) prescribing special entry requirements applicable to certain softwood lumber (SWL) and SWL products exported from any country into the United States.  The SWL products subject to these entry requirements are those described in section 804(a) within title VIII (Softwood Lumber Act of 2008) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as added by section 3301 of title III, subtitle D, of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246, enacted June 18, 2008).  Within title VIII, section 803 requires the President to establish and maintain an importer declaration program with respect to the importation of certain SWL and SWL products and prescribes special entry requirements whereby importers must submit the export price, estimated export charge, if any, and an importer declaration with the entry summary documentation.  These amendments set forth the procedural and documentation requirements necessary to implement the entry requirements specified in the statute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 16, 2007, the President signed into law the International Emergency Economic Powers Enhancement Act (Pub. L. 110-96) (Enhancement Act), substantially increasing the maximum penalties for violations of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the enabling statute for most sanctions programs administered and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control at the Treasury Department.  The increased maximum penalty amounts set forth in the Enhancement Act, as well as its application to pending or commenced cases involving apparent violations of IEEPA, prompted the development of these new guidelines for determining when it may be appropriate to pursue a civil monetary penalty for violation of sanctions programs enforced by OFAC, and for determining the amount of any civil monetary penalty in such cases.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes an importer declaration requirement to assist Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in gathering information at the time of entry on the transaction valuation of goods imported into the United States under section 15422(a) of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.  Effective for a one-year period beginning August 20, 2008, all importers will be required to provide a declaration to CBP at the time of entry stating whether or not the transaction value of the imported merchandise is determined on the basis of the first or earlier sale of goods.  CBP will then report the frequency of the use of the first sale rule and other associated data to the International Trade Commission (ITC) on a monthly basis.  This document does not affect or modify the notice of proposed interpretation of the expression sold for exportation to the United States published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2008 (73 FR 4254), and CBP will not take any action with regard to the proposal until after the submission of  ITCs report to Congress, and the completion of CBPs own economic analysis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibition on Funding of Unlawful Internet Gambling</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (the Act) requires the Department of the Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (collectively, the Agencies), in consultation with the Attorney General,  to promulgate regulations to implement applicable provisions of the Act.  The Agencies published  a proposed rule on October 4, 2007, and the public comment period closed on December 12, 2007.  In accordance with the requirements of the Act, the final rule is expected to designate payment systems that could be used in connection with unlawful Internet gambling transactions restricted by the Act.  The final rule will require participants in designated payment systems to establish policies and procedures reasonably designed to identify and block or otherwise prevent or prohibit transactions in connection with unlawful Internet gambling.  As required by the Act, the final rule is expected to exempt certain participants in designated payment systems from the requirements to establish such policies and procedures if the Agencies believe it is not reasonably practical for those participants to identify and block, or otherwise prevent or prohibit, unlawful Internet gambling transactions restricted by the Act.  Finally, the final rule will describe the types of policies and procedures that regulated participants in each type of designated payment system may adopt in order to comply with the Act and will include non-exclusive examples of policies and procedures that will be deemed to be reasonably designed to prevent or prohibit unlawful Internet gambling transactions restricted by the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 26, 2007, President Bush signed into law the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 (FINSA) (Pub. L. 110-49), which amends section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 2170 et seq.) (section 721), to codify the structure, role, process, and responsibilities of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). FINSA requires the President to direct the issuance of implementing regulations.  Proposed regulations have been published in the Federal Register and were subject to notice and comment. Final regulations were published November 21, 2008, in the Federal Register.  Treasury also published in the Federal Register guidance on the types of transactions that CFIUS has reviewed and that have presented national security considerations.  Treasury published this guidance in the Federal Register on December 8, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

These restrictions are being imposed pursuant to an agreement between the United States and the Government of the Peoples Republic of China that will be entered into under the authority of the 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 in December 2008. The final rule amends CBP regulations by adding China to the list of countries for which a bilateral agreement has been entered into for imposing cultural property import restrictions. The final rule also contains the designated list that describes the types of archaeological articles to which the restrictions apply.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Import Restrictions Imposed on Archaeological Material from Honduras</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect the extension of import restrictions on certain categories of archaeological material from the Pre-Columbian cultures of the Republic of Honduras (Honduras) that were imposed by CBP Decision (Dec.) 04-08 and expire on March 12, 2009.  The Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, has determined that conditions continue to warrant the imposition of import restrictions.  Accordingly, these import restrictions will remain in effect for an additional 5 years, and the CBP regulations are being amended to reflect this extension until March 12, 2013.  These restrictions are being extended pursuant to determinations of the United States Department of State made under the terms of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act in accordance with the 1970 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.  CBP Dec. 04-08 contains the Designated List of archaeological material that describes the articles to which the restrictions apply.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), is reviewing the regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy Act regarding money services businesses (MSBs) with a focus on enhancing its efficiency and effectiveness for the industry, regulators, law enforcement, and FinCEN in safeguarding the U.S. financial system from the abuses of terrorist financing, money laundering, and other financial crime.  Our goal is to revise the MSB rules to reduce the number of entities defined as MSBs so that regulatory requirements are applied to those entities that are in the best position to ensure compliance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Amendment of Title 31, Money and Finance:  Chapter X Initiative</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FinCEN proposes to remove part 103 of chapter I of title 31, Code of Federal Regulations and add a new chapter X to title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).  New chapter X would contain the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations currently in part 103, which would generally be reorganized by financial industry.  Moving the BSA regulations to new chapter X and organizing chapter X by financial industry would create a user-friendly way to find regulations applicable to a particular financial industry.  This new organization within chapter X also allows for the renumbering of the BSA regulations in a manner that would make it easier to find regulatory requirements than under the numbering system currently used in part 103.  FinCEN also proposes to make minor technical changes to the BSA regulations such as updating mailing addresses and points of contact.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury), is proposing to revise the regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regarding the confidentiality of a report of suspicious activity (SAR) to: clarify the scope of the statutory prohibition against the disclosure by a financial institution of a SAR; address the statutory prohibition against the disclosure by the government of a SAR; clarify that the exclusive standard applicable to the disclosure of a SAR by the government is to fulfill official duties consistent with the purposes of the BSA; modify the safe harbor provision to include changes made by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing the Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act); and make minor technical revisions for consistency and harmonization among the different rules.  These amendments are consistent with similar proposals to be issued by some of the Federal bank regulatory agencies]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FinCEN is proposing rules to further reform and simplify the process by which banks may exempt transactions of certain persons from the requirement to report transactions in currency in excess of $10,000.  We are also providing notice and requesting comments on proposed special instructions to the Designation of Exempt Persons form, FinCEN Form 110, which correspond to the proposed changes to the regulatory text being made in this notice.  Finally, we are proposing technical corrections and edits to the rules.  Modification of the currency transaction report exemption procedures is an additional step in the Department of the Treasurys continuing program to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the counter-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing policies of the Department of the Treasury.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of Agents From the Definition of Money Services Business; Revision of Registration Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury), is reviewing the regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy Act regarding money services businesses (MSBs) with a focus on enhancing its efficiency and effectiveness for the industry, regulators, law enforcement, and FinCEN in safeguarding the U.S. financial system from the abuses of terrorist financing, money laundering, and other financial crime.  Our goal is to revise the MSB rules to reduce the number of entities defined as MSBs so that regulatory requirements are applied to those entities that are in the best position to ensure compliance. 
In this Advance Notice, we seek information from the public on two issues.  First, we are reviewing the utility of revising the definition of MSB in the regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA regulations or BSA rules) to exclude persons who are currently MSBs solely because they are agents of other MSBs.  In connection with such a change, we are reviewing the utility of having the principal MSBs, which currently are also MSBs and which would remain MSBs, incorporate these agents further into their anti-money laundering programs.  Second, we are reviewing the MSB registration rule generally.  In particular, FinCEN is considering the impact of: (a) making modifications to the registration procedure for MSBs; and (b) requiring MSBs, each of which currently is obligated to maintain a list of its agents and to update that list annually, to provide such information as part of its registration requirements so that the information may be more easily accessed by law enforcement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Management of Federal Agency Disbursements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service, is proposing to amend 31 CFR 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 a Federal agency from making a check payment to another Federal agency, and would instead require that all agency-to-agency payments be made through the Intra-Governmental Payment and Collection System.]]></ABSTRACT>

This amendment changes the priorities for collecting debt when a debtor owes more than one debt which has been referred to the Treasury Offset Program for collection by offset, consistent with a change in the statute on which the priority is based.  The statutory change, enacted as part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, amends the priority given to the collection of certain past-due support debts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service, is amending the rules applicable to the offset of Federal nontax payments to collect delinquent debts owed to States pursuant to reciprocal agreements between the Secretary of the Treasury and the States.  In addition to providing for the offset of Federal nontax payments, the reciprocal agreements provide for the offset of State payments to collect delinquent, nontax Federal debts.  The offsets described in this rule are processed by the Treasury Offset Program, which the Financial Management Service established to centralize the process by which Federal payments are withheld or reduced to collect delinquent debts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB is considering amending the regulations prescribing standards of fill for wine and distilled spirits.  Although this issue was addressed previously in 1987 and 1993, TTB believes that recent trends in consumer preferences and marketing strategies, along with petitions recently received from industry members, warrants revisiting this issue.  TTB is soliciting comments on whether the existing standards of fill for wine and distilled spirits containers should be retained, revised, or eliminated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Yamhill-Carlton District Viticultural Area Name Change</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB received a petition requesting an AVA name modification to "Yamhill-Carlton."  The petitioner wishes to shorten the name to fit on wine labels.  Currently, some industry members cannot fit, or use, the long "Yamhill-Carlton District" name on their labels.  Yamhill-Carlton wine bottlers believe that reducing the AVA name length to "Yamhill-Carlton" will make it possible to use it on their wine labels.  "Yamhill-Carlton District" was originally determined by TTB as a term of viticultural significance base on available information related to the original AVA petition.  TTB now has additional information from the current petition to support the "Yank ill-Carlton" name as one of viticultural significance.  Should the name change eventually be approved, then TTB will eventually drop the "Yamhill-Carlton District" name as a term of viticultural significance after the end of a label use-up period, since it will no longer be an approved AVA name.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Establishment of the Freestone-Occidental Viticultural Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed Freestone-Occidental viticultural area encompasses 15,971 acres, 478 acres of which are used for commercial viticulture in 10 vineyards.  It lies entirely within the Sonoma Coast viticultural area (27 CFR 9.116), which in turn is completely within the multicounty North Coast viticultural area (27 CFR 9.30).  Approximately 2,100 acres of the proposed Freestone-Occidental viticultural area overlaps small portions of the Russian River Valley viticultural area (27 CFR 9.66) and the Northern Sonoma viticultural area (27 CFR 9.70).  The petition justifies the overlaps with significant evidence and documentation of the unique and distinguishing features of the proposed Freestone-Occidental viticultural area.  Also, the area is an established coastal grape-growing region in northern California.  The distinguishing features of the proposed Freestone-Occidental viticultural area include climate, geographical location, and, to a lesser extent, soils.  The unique marine climate of the proposed viticultural area is a particularly important influence on the area and on viticulture.]]></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>

        <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>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>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>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>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 is 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 2 years of the offer being submitted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 certain tax exempt persons who do not have an obligation to file tax returns. The amendments address tax exempt persons, corporations exempt from filing income tax returns pursuant to the section 6012 regulations, and persons whose income is 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), and State of Michigan v. United States, 141 F. 3d 662 (6th Cir. 1998).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 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 by the corporation. The income would be characterized as non-qualifying income if the effect of the arrangement is to permit the PTP to receive 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>Treatment of Certain Distributions From Qualified Investment Entities Under Internal Revenue Code Sections 892 and 897(H)</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>

        <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>Security for Payment of Estate Tax in Installments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior to the decision in Estate of Roski v. Commissioner, 128 T.C. 113 (2007), the IRS required an estate to post a bond or provide a lien as a prerequisite for granting an election to pay estate tax in installments over a period of up to 14 years under section 6166 of the Code.  In Estate of Roski, the Tax Court determined, in part, that the IRSs bright-line rule to require security in all cases was an abuse of discretion.  The court held that the IRS must make a case-by-case determination of whether the governments interest in collecting the estate tax in full is at risk before requiring a bond.  The IRS is revising procedures to comply with this ruling.  The proposed regulations will state that the IRS will make case-by-case determinations as to whether the governments interest is at risk and will also list what factors the IRS will consider in making this determination.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed regulations contain guidance concerning the treatment of attributes in reorganizations under section 368(a)(1), where the acquiring corporation is a shareholder in the target corporation, the target corporation terminates its existence, is able to make a distribution on only one class of its stock, and the acquiring corporation succeeds to the target corporations attributes under section 381 while the shareholder whose stock is eliminated for no consideration claims a loss.  The proposed regulations provide that, to the extent such loss is duplicated in the attributes of the target corporation following its termination, the target corporations attributes are reduced by the target corporations attribute reduction amount.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Election of Reduced Credit Under Section 280C(c)(3)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations revise the reduced section 41 credit election in section 1.280C-4(a).  Under section 1.280C-4(a), the election under section 280C(c)(3) is made by claiming the reduced credit under section 41(a) on an original return for the taxable year, filed at any time on or before the due date (including extensions) for filing the income tax return for such year. The guidance would amend section  1.280C-4(a) in light of the generic legal advice memo (AM-2008-02, Feb. 8, 2008) on section 280(c)(3) which provides that a taxpayer should be treated as having made a valid reduced section 41 credit election if the taxpayer clearly indicates the intent to claim the reduced credit on a timely filed original return for the taxable year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Guidance on Definition of Qualified Timber Property under IRC section 194.  The American Jobs Creation Act made significant changes to existing section 194 by adding an annual deduction for reforestation expenditures in the amount of $10,000 per qualified timber property to the existing amortization of reforestation expenditures. Issues involving basis reduction have led to a request for guidance on the definition of qualified timber property under section 194, as amended by the American Jobs Creation Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

The regulations will also address several arbitrage issues that have also arisen in the same market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Regarding the PFIC Income Test and Certain PFIC Subsidiaries </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document contains proposed regulations under sections 1297(b), 1297(c) and 1298(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) regarding the treatment of certain income or gain received or accrued by a foreign corporation in a taxable year for purposes of determining whether such foreign corporation is a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) in such taxable year. The regulations under section 1297(b) provide rules for classifying certain rent and royalty income earned by a foreign corporation for purposes of the passive income test of section 1297(a)(1).  The regulations under section 1297(c) provide rules for classifying gains recognized by a foreign corporation from the sale or exchange of stock of a 25-percent owned (by value) foreign subsidiary corporation for purposes of the passive income test of section 1297(a)(1).  The regulations under section 1298(b)(3) apply the change-of-business exception provided by section 1298(b)(3) to a foreign corporation's sale or exchange of all or a portion of the stock of a 25-percent owned (by value) corporation described in section 1297(c).  The regulations affect certain foreign corporations and United States persons who own (directly or indirectly) stock interests in such foreign corporations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification to Consolidated Return Regulation Permitting an Election to Treat a Liquidation of a Target, Followed by a Recontribution to a New Target, as a Cross-Chain Reorganization</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This change to the regulations under Treasury Regulations section 1.1502-13(f)(5) is a modification that has been made necessary in light of the regulations under Treasury Regulations section 1.368-2(k) that were issued in October 2007.   The existing section 1.1502-13(f)(5) election envisions that, when the election under that section is made, there is a cross-chain reorganization resulting in stock in a new corporation being a successor asset to the stock of a corporation that was previously liquidated.  Under the section 1.368-2(k) regulations now in effect, the liquidation of a corporation followed by the transfer of the liquidated corporations assets to a new controlled corporation by the parent of the liquidated corporation would be an upstream reorganization followed by a drop of assets to a controlled corporation (the stock of the new corporation would not be a successor asset in this case).   The modification will clarify that, when the election is made, the reorganization will be viewed as a cross-chain reorganization, rather than an upstream reorganization followed by a drop of assets, as it would be viewed under section 1.368-2(k).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), pension plans have used Schedule SSA of the Form 5500 to report participants who separate from service with deferred vested benefits.  

For plan years which begin after December 31, 2008, the Department of Labor will require that the Form 5500 and its schedules be filed electronically.  The Department of Labor's mandated electronic filing requirement can only be for information which is within the Department of Labor's annual reporting jurisdiction.   The information required under section 6057 of the Code is not in Title I of ERISA and therefore not covered by the Department of Labor's annual reporting requirements.  Currently, the information collected under 6057 is not subject to an electronic filing mandate. Consequently, the Schedule SSA can no longer be filed as part of the Form 5500.  Therefore, it is necessary for the Service to develop a new means of satisfying the requirement of section 6057. The Service has chosen to develop a new Form SSA which will require much of the same information as the Schedule SSA that was filed with the Form 5500 for plan years beginning before January 1, 2009.  

The regulations under section 6057 are being amended to provide guidance on the requirement that the Form SSA be filed in place of the Schedule SSA.]]></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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6159 of the Internal Revenue Code allows the IRS to enter into agreements with taxpayers for the payment of tax liabilities in installments.  The principal purpose of this project is to update the regulations under section 6159 to reflect various amendments to that section and related statutes. The proposed regulations govern the acceptance and rejection of installment agreements, the terms of those agreements and when they may be modified or terminated by the IRS, and appeal procedures when the IRS makes a rejection or termination decision.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations relate to the diesel fuel and kerosene excise tax and reflect changes made by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Act) regarding mechanical dye injection systems. Under the Act, diesel fuel and kerosene that are to be used in a nontaxable use must be indelibly dyed by use of a mechanical dye injection system that satisfies the requirements set forth in the regulations. The purpose of the regulations is to establish standards for tamper-resistant mechanical injector dyeing that are reasonable, cost-effective, and set levels of security commensurate with the applicable facility.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The application of existing Treasury Regulation 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 Treasury Regulation  section 1.901-2 in such circumstances.  In some cases, such as cases involving reverse hybrid entities, the application of existing Treasury Regulation 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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations will create a new section 1.147(f)-1 under section 1.147(f) of the Code relating to the public approval requirement applicable to private activity bonds. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Treatment of Overall Foreign and Domestic Losses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 402 of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 enacted a new section 904(g) providing for the recharacterization of U.S. source income as foreign source income where a taxpayer's foreign tax credit limitation has been reduced as a result of an overall domestic loss.  The regulation will provide rules for maintaining and recapturing overall domestic loss accounts relating to such recharacterization.  The regulation will also include some revisions of the existing regulations regarding overall foreign loss recapture under section 904(f).]]></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>

        <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>

        <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 shareholders of controlled foreign corporations.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes amendments to 26 CFR part 301 under section 7216 to provide modified rules relating to the disclosure of a taxpayers social security number constituting tax return information to a tax return preparer located outside of the United States for purposes of tax return preparation. It proposes a limited exception to the general prohibition against disclosure of SSNs to tax return preparers located outside of the United States when the tax return preparer located in the United States has in place an adequate data protection safeguard.]]></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>

        <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>Procedures To Enhance the Accuracy and Integrity of Information Furnished to Consumer Reporting Agencies Under Section 312 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <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). They subsequently issued a proposed rule. 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 on the proposed rule closed in February 2008 and the various agencies are developing the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OCC, the Board, FDIC, NCUA, FTC, CFTC, SEC, and OTS (the Agencies) proposed amendments to their rules that implement the privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.  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 proposed 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 2 years after the date a final rule is published.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a joint NPR with the other banking agencies, OTS proposed a new risk-based capital framework (standardized framework) based on the standardized approach for credit risk and the basic indicator approach for operational risk described in the capital adequacy framework titled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework" (New Accord) released by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.

The standardized framework would be available, on an optional basis, to a savings association that currently applies the general risk-based capital rules.  However, it would not be available to a savings association that is required to use the advanced capital adequacy framework contained in the Basel II Final Rule. 72 FR 69288 (Dec. 7, 2007).]]></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).  OTS is adopting a final rule implementing section 19(e) of the FDIA.  The final rule describes the actions that are prohibited under the statute and describes procedures for applying for an OTS order granting a case-by-case exemption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Thrift Supervision, together with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations, the Comptroller of the Currency, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Federal Trade Commission, plan to issue a final rule to make technical corrections to two previously-issued FACT Act rules.  The agencies are making one clarification to the model forms and one clarification to the instructions accompanying the model forms contained in the November 7, 2007 final rules to implement the affiliate marketing provisions of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003.  The agencies are also making a few technical corrections to the November 9, 2007 final rules to implement the identity theft red flags and address discrepancy provisions of the FACT Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Risk Based Capital--Market Risk Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Banking Agencies jointly issued a NPRM in September 2006 that revised a 1996 market risk rule that OTS had not adopted.  OTS proposed to adopt the 2006 rule as revised.  The Banking Agencies are now jointly re-proposing a market risk capital rule due to a decision to broaden the rule to address recent market events affecting the trading book.  Upon adoption of a joint final market risk rule in late 2009, savings associations eligible for the market risk rule would adjust their risk-based capital ratios to reflect market risk.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC is proposing to amend its regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy Act governing the confidentiality of a suspicious activity report (SAR) to clarify the scope of the statutory prohibition on the disclosure by a national bank of a SAR and implement a statutory expansion of the safe harbor shielding national banks from liability for disclosures of SAR information to the government.  The proposal would also implement the statutory prohibition on the disclosure by the government of a SAR "except to fulfill official duties."  The proposal is based upon a notice of proposed rulemaking that was published contemporaneously  by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, FRB, FDIC, OTS and NCUA published in the Federal Register final rules to implement the affiliate marketing provisions of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act) on November 7, 2007.  The FTC published its final affiliate marketing rule on October 30, 2007.  The OCC, FRB, FDIC, OTS, NCUA and the FTC (Agencies) published in the Federal Register final rules and guidelines to implement the identity theft red flags and address discrepancy provisions of the FACT Act on November 9, 2007.  The technical corrections included in this Federal Register document (1) revise one of the affiliate marketing model forms and the instructions to the model forms to correct inadvertent omissions and conform the model forms and the instructions to the affiliate marketing rules, and (2) correct minor errors in the identity theft red flags and address discrepancy rules and guidelines, and place one section of the FTC's final rule into its own, separate part of the CFR.  The substantive requirements of the affiliate marketing and the identity theft red flags and address discrepancy rules are unchanged.]]></ABSTRACT>

In light of the financial support provided under the Agreements, the OCC, FRB, FDIC, and OTS proposed to adopt a 10 percent risk weight for claims on, and the portion of claims guaranteed by, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The 10 percent risk weight would apply so long as an Agreement remains in effect with the respective entity.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 2503 of the HERA (part of the Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008) revises national banks community development investment authority under 12 U.S.C. 24(Eleventh) to permit national banks and their subsidiaries to make investments directly or indirectly, each of which is designed primarily to promote the public welfare, including the welfare of low- and moderate income communities or families (such as by providing housing, services, or jobs).  The final rule adopts as final the interim final rule that implemented the changes made to section 24(Eleventh) by the HERA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, FRB, FDIC, and OTS have issued a final rule that permits a banking organization to reduce the amount of goodwill it must deduct from its regulatory tier 1 capital by the amount of any deferred tax liability associated with that goodwill.  This change permits a bank to effectively reduce its regulatory capital deduction for goodwill to an amount equal to the maximum regulatory capital deduction that could occur as a result of the goodwill becoming completely impaired or derecognized.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To reduce liquidity and other strains being experienced by money market mutual funds, the FRB adopted on September 19, 2008, a special lending facility that enables depository institutions and bank holding companies to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston on a nonrecourse basis if they use the proceeds of the loan to purchase certain types of asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) from money market mutual funds. This lending facility is referred to as the ABCP Lending Facility. To facilitate the ability of national banks to participate in the program, the OCC has adopted, on an interim final basis, an exemption from its risk-based capital guidelines for ABCP held by a national bank as a result of its participation in this program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>State Cemetery Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend its regulations governing grants to States to establish, expand, and improve State veterans cemeteries.  We propose to implement through regulation new statutory authority to provide grants for the Operation and Maintenance of State veterans cemeteries, as implemented by the Dr. James Allen Veteran Vision Equity Act of 2007 (The Act) (Public Law 110-157), enacted on December 26, 2007.  Section 202 of the Act expanded VA authority to provide grants to States for operating and maintaining State veterans cemeteries and limited to $5 million the amount that VA could award for such grants in any year.  The Act required within 180 days of enactment that VA publish regulations on implementing the new authority.  VA proposes to amend its regulations to outline the process, the criteria, and the priorities for the award of these Operation and Maintenance grants.  The rule also makes changes in arrangement and numbering of the regulation sections and removes specific forms from section 39.26 because all forms cited in this part are available at http://www.cem.va.gov/cem/scg_grants.asp.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend the regulations concerning collection or recovery by VA for medical care or services provided or furnished by VA to a veteran for a nonservice-connected disability.  More specifically, we propose to amend the regulations regarding charges billed for prescription drugs not administered during treatment by changing the billing formula to reflect actual VA drug costs for each drug instead of a national average drug cost for all prescriptions dispensed.  The formula would also continue to include an average administrative cost for each prescription.  This is intended to provide a more accurate method for billing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations concerning headstones and markers furnished by the Government through the National Cemetery Administration (NCA) headstone and marker program. The amendments are necessary to update ordering procedures for headstones and markers and to provide instructions for requesting the addition of a new emblem of belief to VA's list of emblems of belief available for inscription on Government-furnished headstones and markers. The amendments would also establish criteria to guide VA's decisions on requests to add new emblems of belief to the list.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends regulations governing aspects of the Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA) program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).  These amendments reflect provisions of the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003, the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004, and the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006.  The Veterans Benefits Act of 2003 exempted surviving spouses who remarry after age 57 from having their DEA eligibility terminated.  The Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004 increased the DEA eligibility period from 10 years to 20 years for a surviving spouse of a serviceperson who died of a service-connected disability while on active duty.  The Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 expanded eligibility for DEA to the spouse or child of a serviceperson who is hospitalized or receiving outpatient medical care, services, or treatment and is determined by VA to have a total disability permanent in nature incurred or aggravated in the line of duty and who is likely to be discharged or released from active duty for such disability.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the vocational rehabilitation and employment regulations of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) concerning VAs responsibility to provide notification regarding information or evidence needed for an individual to substantiate a claim for vocational rehabilitation benefits and services, and regarding applicable time periods.  VA's duty to assist claimants in substantiating their claims for benefits is expanded by The Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 and is incorporated in this rulemaking.  Specifically, upon receipt of a substantially complete application for benefits, VA will make reasonable efforts to help the claimant obtain the evidence necessary to substantiate the claim.  In addition, VA is making changes to improve readability and other clarifying changes that are nonsubstantive.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medication Prescribed by Non-VA Physicians</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 is amending its Compensation and Pension regulations relating to service requirements for veterans, currently found in part 3 of title 38, Code of Federal Regulations, and to relocate them in new part 5.  We have reorganized these regulations in a more logical order, add new section and paragraph headings, rewrite some sections, and divide some sections into one or more separate new sections.  VAs principle goal in rewriting and reorganizing the current regulations is to provide readers with clearer language and more easily understood regulatory requirements.]]></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) 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>Education:  Incorporation of Miscellaneous Statutory Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends regulations governing aspects of educational assistance programs administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).  These amendments reflect provisions of the Veterans Programs Enhancement Act of 1998, the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003, and the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004.  The Veterans Programs Enhancement Act of 1998 waived the periodic wage increase requirement for other on-job training programs offered by Federal, State, or local governments.  The Veterans Benefits Act of 2003 authorized payment of veterans educational assistance benefits for certain self-employment training programs and certain entrepreneurship courses.  The Veterans Benefits Act of 2003 also terminated the Education Loan Program.  The Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004 effected a 10 percent rate increase in the VA monthly educational assistance allowance payable to individuals pursuing an apprenticeship or on-job training program for veterans receiving benefits under the Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Educational Assistance Program.  It also authorized VA to pay educational assistance benefits to veterans for competency-based apprenticeships.  Finally, the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004 made technical and conforming amendments regarding the definition of a training establishment, in addition to recordkeeping requirements for qualified providers of entrepreneurship courses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Payment and Reimbursement of the Expenses of Medical Services Not Previously Authorized</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend its regulations concerning emergent hospital care and medical services provided to certain eligible veterans at non-VA facilities that were not preauthorized.  Title 38 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), section 1728, authorizes the Secretary to reimburse or make payment for the reasonable value of non-VA emergency treatment that was not preauthorized to veterans who have legal eligibility as stated in 38 U.S.C. section 1728(a).  Title 38 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) further codifies the statute in section 17.120 by defining a medical emergency as an emergency of such nature that delay would have been hazardous to life or health, and in section 17.121 by limiting reimbursement or payment to the period of the initial medical emergency evaluation and treatment. This proposal would amend the regulations to adopt the "prudent layperson" standard for evaluating the need for emergency medical services.  This proposal also permits VA to reimburse or pay for hospital care not previously authorized that is furnished beyond the point the medical emergency ended if the veteran requires continued hospital care and requests transfer to VA care but the 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[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[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 35 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>NPDES Program Management Information Rulemaking</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has responsibility to ensure that the Clean Water Acts (CWA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program is effectively and consistently implemented across the country. This regulation would identify the essential information that EPA needs to receive from NPDES agencies (NPDES-authorized states, territories and tribes) to manage the national NPDES permitting and enforcement program. Through this regulation, EPA seeks to ensure that such facility-specific information would be readily available, accurate, timely and nationally consistent on the facilities that are regulated by the NPDES program. 

In the past, EPA primarily obtained this information from the Permit Compliance System (PCS). However, the evolution of the NPDES program since the inception of PCS has created an increasing need to better reflect a more complete picture of the NPDES program and the diverse universe of regulated sources. In addition, information technology has advanced significantly so that PCS no longer meets EPAs national needs to manage the full scope of the NPDES program or the needs of individual states that use PCS to implement and enforce the NPDES program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Corrections to Title 40 To Conform to the Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 11, 2008, EPA promulgated the 2008 Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule (73 FR 75340) to adjust all statutory civil monetary penalties for inflation. This rule was issued pursuant to the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA), which requires each federal agency to adjust statutory penalty amounts under its jurisdiction to account for inflation. During the course of that rulemaking, EPA discovered that certain regulatory provisions of Title 40 referred to outdated statutory civil penalty amounts. This rulemaking will amend all regulatory references to specific civil penalty amounts to refer to the operative effective statutory maximum penalty amount reflected in 40 CFR 19.4.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule adjusts EPA's civil monetary penalties for inflation since EPA's last adjustment in March of 2004 as required by Congress in the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, 31 U.S.C. 3701 note (DCIA). The DCIA provides that each federal agency is required to issue regulations adjusting for inflation the maximum civil monetary penalties that can be imposed pursuant to such agency's statutes. The purpose of the adjustments is to maintain the deterrent effect of civil monetary penalties and to further the policy goals of the laws. The DCIA requires adjustments to be made at least once every four years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency has taken direct final action on its revisions to Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act and Assessing the Effects Abroad of EPA Actions. These revisions made two minor, technical corrections to the regulations. The first change corrected the number of extraordinary circumstances from 14 to 10, as referenced at 40 CFR part 6.204 (f)(2)(vi). The second change clarified the language in a categorical exclusion (found at 40 CFR part 6.204 (a)(2)(ii)) to include vacant land. Neither of these changes affects the substantive conditions of the regulations. The rule will be effective April 6, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will respond to a petition received by EPA to delete acetonitrile from the list of toxic chemicals reportable under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA). 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, 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>

        <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 in the mining context, stating that naturally occurring ores in situ have not been 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting is required by section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA). The purpose of this proposed rule is to clarify the scope of the exemption from TRI reporting requirements for items that qualify as articles. [See 40 CFR section 372.38(b).] EPA believes that language contained in the regulation and subsequent guidance should be clarified for the regulated community concerning what items qualify as articles and are therefore exempt from TRI threshold determinations, TRI release and other waste management calculations and reporting.]]></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.

EPA undertook this rulemaking in conjunction with a court action whereby the plaintiff challenged EPA's confidentiality regulations. Litigation was stayed while EPA proposed this rule. This rulemaking was entered into the system subject to possible withdrawal or amendment pending the Court's determination. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia determined that the Agencys determination that the substantiation was entitled to confidential treatment was based on Exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act and not on 2.205. Pursuant to OGC's determination, this rule may be withdrawn in accordance with the Court's holding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR) Technical Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA published the final Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) on October 13, 2005. The rule establishes a legal framework for electronic reporting by regulated entities to EPA and states, tribes, and local governments that are authorized to administer EPA programs. CROMERR applies to any document submissions required by or permitted under EPA or any authorized program governed by EPAs regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), if it is submitted electronically.
 
State, tribal and local government applicants that have an existing electronic document receiving system (as defined in section 3.3 of the regulation), originally had until October 13, 2007, to submit their applications to apply for EPA approval of their system under CROMERR. On October 2, 2007, a direct final rulemaking to extend the October 13, 2007, Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR) deadline for authorized programs (states, tribes, or local governments) with existing electronic document receiving systems became effective. Under section 3.1000(a)(3) of CROMERR, authorized program applicants that have an existing electronic document receiving system had until October 13, 2008, to submit their applications for EPA approval of their system under CROMERR.
 
This action extended the October 13, 2008, deadline for existing systems by fifteen (15) months, to January 13, 2010, to provide additional time for authorized programs to develop their applications and upgrade their systems, if required.]]></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>Revisions to the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Requirements for Class V Wells </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Class V wells are regulated under the authority of part C of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The SDWA is designed to protect the quality of drinking water in the United States, and part C specifically mandates the regulation of underground injection of fluids through wells. The Agency has promulgated a series of underground injection control (UIC) regulations under this authority. Most class V wells are authorized by rule as long as (1) they do not endanger underground sources of drinking water (USDWs), and (2) the well owners or operators submit basic inventory and assessment information. If a class V well may endanger USDWs, UIC Program Directors can require the owner/operator to apply for a permit, order preventive actions (including closure of the well) to prevent the violation, require remediation to assure USDWs are protected, or take enforcement action. 

On December 7, 1999, EPA finalized additional requirements for motor vehicle waste disposal wells and large capacity cesspools, to embrace priorities and help achieve goals defined under the 1996 Amendments to the SDWA, and to fulfill the first phase of the Agency's requirements under the 1997 consent decree with the Sierra Club. The 1999 Rule established requirements for two categories of class V injection wells determined by EPA to be a source of endangerment to drinking water. Specifically, the rule covers: (1) Existing motor vehicle waste disposal wells located in ground water protection areas or other sensitive ground water areas; and, (2) new and existing large-capacity cesspools and new motor vehicle waste disposal wells nationwide. The conclusion that these class V wells pose an endangerment to USDWs is based on substantial information and the combined professional judgment of EPA and State geologists and engineers that are responsible for implementing the class V UIC program.

This new entry in the regulatory agenda announces that while EPA has taken steps in the 1999 Rulemaking process to evaluate and mitigate impacts on small entities, pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, EPA will review the Class V Rule. As part of the review, EPA will consider and solicit comments on the following factors: (1) The continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4)the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which the technology, economic conditions or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. Based on the evaluation of the Class V Rule during promulgation, EPA believes there is a continued need for the Class V Rule. EPA assumes that the regulatory impact of two endangering well types on small business is not significant because the Agency believes most of these well types have been either closed or permitted.

Comments must be received by August 11, 2009. In submitting comments, please reference Docket ID EPA-HQ-OW-2009-0082 and follow the instructions in section I of the preamble to this issue of the Regulatory Agenda. The docket can be assessed at www.regulations.gov.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oil and Gas Construction Stormwater Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 12, 2006, EPA published a final rule to address a new provision added by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The 2006 regulation effectively exempted from NPDES permit requirements stormwater discharges of sediment from construction activities associated with oil and gas exploration, production, processing, or treatment operations or transmission facilities unless the relevant facility had a discharge of stormwater resulting in a discharge of a reportable quantity of oil or hazardous substances. Shortly thereafter, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) petitioned the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (Ninth Circuit) for direct review of EPA's action. On May 23, 2008, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion in Natural Resources Defense Council v. United States Environmental Protection Agency, 526 F.3d 591 (9th Cir. 2008), vacating EPA's 2006 oil and gas construction stormwater regulation. On July 21, 2008, EPA filed a petition for rehearing in this case. On November 3, 2008, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its order denying EPAs request for rehearing of the Courts decision vacating EPA's 2006 oil and gas construction stormwater regulation.

This action initiation request for rulemaking is to prepare a direct final rule that removes the regulatory language codified in the 2006 rulemaking and adds the revised 2005 Energy Policy Act definition of "oil and gas exploration, production, processing, treatment, and transmission operations." The Agency uses this term to define the specific activities exempt from NPDES permitting as identified in section 402(l)(2) of the Clean Water Act which specifies that EPA and states shall not require NPDES permits for uncontaminated stormwater discharges from oil and gas exploration, production, processing or treatment operations, or transmission facilities.]]></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 source of these pollutants is aircraft deicing fluid 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Criteria and Standards for Cooling Water Intake Structures--Phase II Remand</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires EPA to ensure that the location, design, construction, and capacity of cooling water intake structures reflect the best technology available (BTA) for minimizing adverse environmental impacts. In developing regulations to implement section 316(b), EPA divided its effort into three rulemaking phases. Phase II, for existing electric generating plants that use at least 50 MGD of cooling water, was completed in July 2004. Industry and environmental stakeholders challenged the Phase II regulations. On review, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit remanded several key provisions. In July 2007, EPA suspended Phase II and has now initiated a new 316(b) Phase II rulemaking. Following the decision in the Second Circuit, several parties petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review that decision, and the Supreme Court granted the petitions, limited to the issue of whether the Clean Water Act authorized EPA to consider the relationship of costs and benefits in establishing section 316(b) standards. On April 1, 2009, the Supreme Court reversed the Second Circuit, finding that the Agency may consider cost-benefit analysis in its descision-making. This finding did not hold that the Agency must consider costs and benefits in these decisions. EPA expects this new rulemaking will similarly apply to approximately 600 existing electric generating plants and will address the Supreme Court decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2010 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires EPA to establish national technology-based regulations known as effluent limitations guidelines and standards to reduce pollutant discharges from categories of industrial facilities. EPA similarly establishes technology-based regulations, termed pretreatment standards, to reduce indirect pollutant dischargesthose that are discharged to publicly-owned treatment works. The CWA also specifies effluent guideline planning and review requirements. There are different requirements for direct and indirect dischargers, but both specify annual review of promulgated effluent guidelines and pretreatment standards. One requirement is publication of an Effluent Guidelines Program Plan every two years. CWA section 304(m) specifies that the Plan must: (1) establish a schedule for the annual review and revision of promulgated effluent guidelines, (2) identify categories of sources discharging toxic or non-conventional pollutants for which guidelines have not previously been published (new categories); and (3) establish a schedule for the promulgation of effluent guidelines identified under (2). We anticipate that the Preliminary 2010 Plan will describe the results of the 2009 annual review, including, to the extent possible: (1) the outcome of the screening process; (2) EPAs selection of industrial categories for further study; and (3) the rationale for selecting categories for further study. The Preliminary 2010 Plan will also summarize information on specific industrial categories, identify data gaps, and summarize information on possible new categories of dischargers to help determine whether such standards are warranted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations for Gray and Black Water Discharges From Cruise Ships Operating in Certain Alaskan Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 12, 2000, Congress passed HR 4577 which contained a section called Certain Alaskan Cruise Ship Operations (title XIV). Title XIV established enforceable discharge standards for sewage and graywater from large cruise ships operating in Alaskan waters and authorizes EPA to develop revised and/or additional standards for these discharges into the waters of Alaska, the Alexander Archipelago, and the Kachemak Bay National Marine Estuarine Research Reserve. EPA will develop any such standards based on the best available scientific information on the environmental effects of the regulated discharges and the availability of new technologies for wastewater treatment. The implementation of these regulations would reduce environmental impacts of cruise ships operating in the waters of Alaska, the Alexander Archipelago, and the Kachemak Bay National Marine Estuarine Research Reserve.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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 six 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Construction and Development Point Source Category</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a November 28, 2008 proposed rulemaking, EPA proposed to establish effluent limitations guidelines (ELGs) and new source performance standards (NSPSs) for the Construction and Development point source category. This rulemaking and its schedule respond to a court order that requires the Agency to publish final regulations by December 1, 2009. The ELGs and NSPSs would control the discharge of pollutants such as sediment, turbidity, nutrients and metals in discharges from construction activities and will be implemented through the issuance of NPDES permits. EPA solicited comments on a range of erosion and sediment control measures and pollution prevention measures. The proposed requirements vary by size of the construction site and by other factors, such as rainfall intensity and clay content of soil. The proposed rule was intended to work in concert with existing state and local programs, adding a technology-based "floor" that establishes minimum requirements that would apply nationally. Once implemented, these new requirements would significantly reduce the amount of sediment, turbidity, and other pollutants discharged from construction sites.]]></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[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, 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>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Minor Correction to Stage 2 Disinfectants &amp; Disinfection Byproducts Rule and Changes Related to References of Analytical Methods in the CFR</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA promulgated the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfectant Byproducts Rule on January 4, 2006 (71 FR 388). The requirements for ground water systems serving 500-9999 people were unintentionally excluded from the final rule. As a result, the rule allowed for less routine compliance monitoring than intended for this category of PWSs. These PWSs should have been required to monitor for both trihalo methanes (TTHMs) and HAA5 concentrations. Due to the error, they were only required to monitor for either TTHMs or HAA5s. EPA also needs to add a notation to methods tables currently in the regulations to indicate where readers can find the list of methods approved under the expedited process. This action will add a reference to the list of additional methods to tables in 40 CFR 141.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 sewage sludge. This method is necessary for the implementation of water quality-based permit conditions under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) of the Clean Water Act. Water quality-based permit conditions 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>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>

        <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>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. EPA did not finalize the policy. The policy options associated with this activity are still under review.]]></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. Since this effluent guidelines review began, EPA has gathered industry data through site visits and sampling and also developed a survey to collect detailed site-specific data from all known CCH manufacturers. Because CCH member companies are currently collecting data to characterize baseline discharge quantities of dioxin, at this time EPA is deferring its efforts to survey the CCH industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New/Revised Ambient Water Quality Criteria (AWQC) for Recreational Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is publishing new or revised water quality criteria recommendations for pathogens and pathogen indicators pursuant to CWA section 304(a)(9)(A). The criteria recommendations will be considered by states in adopting new or revised water quality standards to protect swimming pursuant to CWA 303(i)(1)(B). The scientific foundation for the development of new or revised recreational water quality criteria is the relevant research and studies that EPA and others have conducted prior to 2007 and the research and studies that EPA (and others) will undertake between 2007 and the end of 2010. These studies are fully described in EPAs "Critical Path Science Plan for the Development of New or Revised Recreational Water Quality Criteria" (CPSP) as well as the Settlement Agreement and Consent Decree EPA signed to resolve litigation related to the deadlines for completing studies under CWA 104(v) and publishing criteria under CWA 304(a)(9)(A). They include freshwater and marine epidemiological studies, as well as supporting studies to aid in the development of criteria for use in a range of geographic areas. Together, these studies will be analyzed and evaluated for use in publishing EPA's new or revised recreational criteria recommendations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Development of Best Management Practices for Recreational Boats Under Section 312(o) of the Clean Water Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is for the development of regulations by EPA to implement the Clean Boating Act (Public Law 110-288), which was signed by the President on July 29, 2008. The Clean Boating Act amends section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) to exclude recreational vessels from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting requirements. In addition, it adds a new CWA section 312(o) directing EPA to develop regulations that identify the discharges incidental to the normal operation of recreational vessels (other than a discharge of sewage) for which it is reasonable and practicable to develop management practices to mitigate adverse impacts on waters of the United States. In addition, those regulations need to include those management practices, including performance standards for each such practice. Following promulgation of the EPA performance standards, new CWA section 312(o) directs the Coast Guard to promulgate regulations governing the design, construction, installation, and use of the management practices. Following promulgation of the Coast Guard regulations, the Clean Boating Act prohibits the operation of a recreational vessel or any discharge incidental to their normal operation in waters of the United States and waters of the contiguous zone (i.e., 12 miles into the ocean), unless the vessel owner or operator is using an applicable management practice meeting the EPA-developed performance standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA promulgated MCLs for aldicarb, aldicarb sulfoxide, and aldicarb sulfone in the Phase II rulemaking in 1991 at levels of 0.003, 0.004, and 0.002 ug/l, respectively. In response to an administrative petition from the manufacturer Rhone-Poulenc, the Agency issued an administrative stay of the effective date. EPA will reexamine risk assessment and occurrence data on aldicarb and make a determination of what further action is appropriate.]]></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 requirements of those programs are federally enforceable. 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 Rule</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>Federal Requirements Under the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Geologic Sequestration (GS) Wells</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Geologic Sequestration (GS) is the process of injecting CO2 that has been captured from an emission source, such as a coal fired electric power plant, into deep subsurface rock formations for long term storage. The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires EPA to regulate the injection of fluid, including gases such as CO2, to prevent the endangerment of underground sources of drinking water (USDWs) and public health. In March 2007, EPA issued guidance to assist State and EPA Regional Underground Injection Control Programs in processing permit applications for pilot and other demonstration scale GS projects. EPA committed to following up the guidance with the development of a long term management framework for permitting commercial scale GS projects. The rule when finalized will establish these new Federal requirements for States and Regional UIC Programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposed to implement provisions of the Shore Protection Act (SPA) designed to prevent the deposit of municipal and commercial waste into U.S. coastal waters. This rule proposed 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. 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The objective of this action was to promulgate at 40 CFR Part 136 procedures and guidance for use in Clean Water Act compliance monitoring. These procedures and guidance included performance criteria against which a method developer could evaluate the performance of a candidate Clean Water Act compliance monitoring method for chemical pollutants. EPA has separately published other method flexibilities that make this regulatory change unnecessary. In March 2007, EPA amended 40 CFR Part 136.6, which achieves the same objectives. This action is no longer needed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking responded to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit's February 28, 2005, decision in Waterkeeper Alliance vs. EPA, which remanded and/or vacated certain provisions in the Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) rule found at 40 CFR parts 122 and 412. This 2008 final rule defined the circumstances under which CAFOs must seek permit coverage, and established an optional means for nondischarging CAFOs to certify that they are not required to apply for a permit if they qualify for certification. The final rule also required the terms of NMPs to be incorporated into CAFO permits and established a process to make the terms of the NMP available for public comment, approved by the permitting authority, and incorporated into a general permit. In addition, the final rule included an alternative means for certain new source operations to meet the new source performance standards and addressed issues remanded for further review and explanation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Creation of this permit was necessary to address a District Court ruling which vacated a regulatory exemption at 40 CFR 122.3(a). Nw. Envtl. Advocates v. EPA, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 69476 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 18, 2006). The regulation excluded discharges incidental to the normal operation of a vessel from NPDES permitting and had existed, essentially unchanged, since 1973. Under the ruling and subsequent extensions, the district court vacated the entire exclusion as of February 6, 2009. Once vacatur took place, discharges of pollutants incidental to the normal operation of a vessel that had formerly been exempted from NPDES permitting by the regulation became subject to the prohibition in CWA section 301(a) against the discharge of a pollutant without an NPDES permit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NPDES Voluntary Permit Fee Incentive for Clean Water Act Section 106 Grants; Allotment Formula</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rulemaking withdraws the NPDES Voluntary Permit Fee Incentive for Clean Water Act Section 106 Grants; Allotment Formula (Permit Fee Rule). The Permit Fee Rule was published in the Federal Register on September 10, 2008, and allowed EPA to allot an amount not to exceed 3 percent of the FY 2008 State allotment (approximately $5.1 million) as a financial incentive for States that utilize adequate fee programs to support authorized NPDES permit program activities. 

The purpose of the Permit Fee Rule was to encourage States to voluntarily collect NPDES permit fees by providing an incentive for States to move toward greater sustainability in the way they manage and budget for environmental programs and to shift part of the financial burden to those who benefit from NPDES permits.  However, States concern with the rule and ongoing congressional opposition to EPA creating an incentive pool with section 106 funds has caused the Agency to reconsider this approach. Therefore, EPA withdrew the Permit Fee Rule but will continue to encourage States to establish and expand their permit fee programs. The growing complexity of water quality issues has prompted more States to implement NPDES permit fee programs.  An estimated 42 States currently have permit fee programs in place with such fees paying for all or a portion of the cost of a States permit program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Repeal of Regulation Identifying Dumping Sites Designated on an Interim Basis Under the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would remove 40 CFR 228.14 "Dumping sites designated on an interim basis" from the Ocean Dumping regulations. Under section 506 of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1992, the authority to use these dumping sites expired in January 1997. Though no interim sites have been designated since the WRDA amendments, the interim site designation has been revised three times since then to delete individual sites that were designated on a final basis. The removal of section 228.14 is needed as a housekeeping measure to implement the 1992 Act. Additionally, the regulated community is confused by the fact that the interim sites are listed in the regulation yet unavailable for use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 108(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, establishes certain authorities concerning financial responsibility requirements. Specifically, the statutory language requires that EPA publish a notice in the Federal Register that identifies classes of facilities that may ultimately be required to establish and maintain financial responsibility, which present the highest level of risk of injury. Based on such notice, the statute contemplates that EPA will first develop financial responsibility requirements for such classes.

To date, EPA has not acted under CERCLA 108(b). A recent ruling issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California states that EPA must identify and publish a notice of classes of facilities for which such requirements will first be developed by July 10, 2009.]]></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 is considering a rule proposing revisions to 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). EPA intends to evaluate various experimental data for accidental air releases of solutions containing solid chemicals when developing revised TPQs. EPA is also considering public comment on the appropriateness of considering aerosol size as a factor for potential off-site exposure to communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identification of Non-Hazardous Materials That Are Solid Wastes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is assessing whether certain non-hazardous secondary materials are or are not solid waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This in turn will assist the Agency in developing certain standards under sections 112 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). If the material is considered a "solid waste," then the unit that burns the secondary material would be subject to CAA section 129 requirements. The meaning of "solid waste" as defined under RCRA is important because CAA section 129, which regulates emissions from sources that combust solid wastes, states that the term "solid waste" shall have the meaning "established by the Administrator [pursuant to RCRA]."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for the Management of Coal Combustion Residues Generated by Commercial Electric Power Producers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is for the development of regulations for coal combustion residues. 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 issued on August 29, 2007, 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. The comment period for this NODA closed on February 11, 2008. EPA is currently analyzing the comments and the findings of the peer review in line with its commitment in the May 2000 regulatory determination to regulate coal combustion wastes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for the Safe and Environmentally Protective Placement of Coal Combustion Products as Minefill in Coal Mines Not Regulated Under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is part of a joint rulemaking effort with the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) of the Department of Interior (DOI) using a combination of regulatory authorities available under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Specifically, EPA is considering performance standards for the environmentally protective placement of coal combustion by-products (CCBs) for filling surface or underground coal mines, referred to as minefilling, not regulated under SMCRA. CCBs are products of the combustion of coal at electric utility and independent power producing facilities. This action results from EPA's Regulatory Determination for fossil fuel combustion wastes (65 FR 32214 May 22, 2000), in which the Agency concluded that national regulations under RCRA (and/or modifications to the existing regulations established under SMCRA) are warranted when these wastes are placed in surface and underground mines. As described in the Regulatory Determination, there is sufficient evidence that adequate controls may not be in place, and that regulations are warranted. This action is also a result of a recommendation by the National Research Council (NRC, Managing Coal Combustion Residues in Coal Mines, 2006) regarding the management of CCBs in coal mines. NRC recommended that OSM and/or EPA promulgate enforceable federal regulations governing the minefilling of CCBs. In response to the NRC study, OSM published on Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Placement of CCBs in Active and Abandoned Coal Mines (72 FR 12026, March 14, 2007), which took comment on the appropriateness of modifying SMCRA regulations to address minefilling at mines with SMCRA permits. EPA proposed performance standards would apply to all minefilling operations using CCBs at coal mines that are not subject to the requirements under SMCRA. This action will be coordinated with the OSM proposed rule. 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This joint proposed and Direct Final rule would correct and clarify the hazardous waste regulations associated with hazardous waste identification, manifesting, and generator requirements, including those found under 40 CFR 262.34, as well as changes to the hazardous waste permit and interim status standards. These changes correct existing errors in the hazardous waste regulations that have occurred over time in numerous final rules published in the Federal Register as a result of typographical errors or incorrect citations to paragraphs and other references. Similarly, these changes would clarify existing parts of the hazardous waste regulatory program and correct references to Department of Transportation regulations that have been changed since the printing of the final rule. This action would not create new regulatory requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 5, 2008, EPA finalized several amendments to the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule in order to provide increased clarity, to tailor requirements to particular industry sectors, and to streamline certain requirements for those facility owners or operators subject to the rule. On February 3, 2009, EPA delayed the effective date for 60 days of the final rule and sought public comment on the extension of the effective date and its duration, and on the regulatory amendments contained in the final rule. EPA is further delaying the effective date in order to provide time to address concerns raised during the latest public comment period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inclusion of CERCLA Section 128(a) State Response Programs and Tribal Response Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is authorized to combine State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) "categorical" program grant funds into Performance Partnership Grants (PPGs). The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 128(a) State and Tribal Response program grants are funded from STAG categorical appropriations and are eligible for inclusion under 40 CFR part 35 in a PPG. On August 20, 2004, (69 FR 51756) EPA added the CERCLA section 128(a) State and Tribal Grant program to the list of grants eligible for inclusion in PPGs.
 
EPA now plans to include State Response Programs per CERCLA section 128(a) under title 40 part 35 subpart A and Tribal Response Programs per CERCLA section 128(a) under title 40 part 35 subpart B as a PPG eligible grant program. The Agency also plans to add State Response Program and Tribal Response Program specific provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modifications to RCRA Rules Associated With Solvent-Contaminated Industrial Wipes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2003, EPA proposed to modify the RCRA hazardous waste regulations for management of solvent-contaminated industrial wipes. 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. Based on comments received on the proposal, EPA revised its risk analysis used 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. A Notice of Data Availability will be published to allow the public the opportunity to comment on the revised risk analysis. If finalized, this regulation will impact the management of two types of solvent-contaminated wipes: (1) wipes disposed of in a landfill or by combustion after use, and (2) wipes that are laundered after use to remove the solvent and then are used again.]]></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 proposing to change 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 proposing to amend 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 proposing to amend 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is considering proposing 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. The Agency is considering revisions to subpart J to clarify and change protocols for effectiveness and toxicity testing. The aim is to clarify EPA's authority to remove products from the Product Schedule. These changes, if finalized, will also 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. Further, the Agency is considering proposed changes to 40 CFR 110.4 regarding the use of dispersants.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 NRF is to provide a guide that describes how the nation conducts all-hazard response to domestic incidents. The NRF was developed by the Department of Homeland Security, in consultation with federal (including EPA), state, Tribal, local governments, first responder organizations, private sector preparedness and relief groups. Alignment of the NCP with the NRF will facilitate smooth integration of emergency response activities under the NCP with the NRF when both plans are activated for an incident. The NRF does not alter the existing authorities of Federal departments and agencies, but rather, establishes the coordinating framework 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act: Amendments and Streamlining Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Revisions to the Comprehensive Guideline for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[RCRA section 6002 requires EPA to prepare procurement guidelines 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 five Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG1, CPG2, CPG3, CPG4 and CPG5). EPA has also issued a Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN) with each CPG that provides recommendations on buying the designated items. E.O. 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. A CPG for Nylon Carpet was originally proposed with CPG4, but not yet finalized because more information was needed. A Notice of Data Availability was issued asking for that information. EPA is evaluating the comments and considering how to proceed with the CPG for Nylon Carpet.]]></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 control of CKD under subtitle C of RCRA was warranted and published a regulatory determination (60 FR 7366). 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 the comments received on the proposal and notice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Waste Manifest Revisions--Standards and Procedures for Electronic Manifests</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is aimed at finalizing the development of EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulatory standards and procedures that will govern the initiation, signing, transmittal, and retention of hazardous waste manifests using electronic documents and systems. There are 2.4 million Federal-defined RCRA 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 (EPA Form 8700-22). 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 commercial e-manifest systems. However, since publication of the 2001 proposed rule, EPA found that there is a broad consensus in favor of a single national "eManifest" system sponsored by EPA, rather than assorted de-centralized commercial systems. Subsequently in May 2004, EPA conducted a manifest stakeholder meeting to collect additional stakeholder views on the future direction of eManifest. 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 eManifest system to be hosted on EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) computer hub. However, EPA's ability to publish a final rule in 2009 that will recognize eManifest as a compliant voluntary alternative to the current paper manifest form, and to pursue this centralized eManifest design and funding solution will depend on the passing of authoriaing legislation for eManifest by the 111th Congress in 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Universal Waste Rule: Addition of Pharmaceuticals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed adding hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to the universal waste system. This incorporation is appropriate because, among other reasons, these wastes are produced by a various and vast community of generators, and it has been reported that these wastes are often mismanaged due to generators' unfamiliarity with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act regulations. EPA expects that the expansion of the universal waste system to include hazardous pharmaceutical wastes will improve protection of public health and the environment by providing a more streamlined but effective waste management system. 
Due to the simplified requirements, this action may provide regulatory relief for those entities that generate hazardous pharmaceutical wastes able to "opt in" to this alternative management regime. Entities that could opt-in include those in authorized states that have adopted the universal waste rule and amended their programs to include hazardous pharmaceutical wastes.
EPA expects the inclusion of hazardous pharmaceutical wastes in the universal waste rule will provide relief in the management of P-listed hazardous pharmaceutical wastes by simplifying current requirements. Also, we expect 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 may pose hazards. Finally, EPA expects that the addition of hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to the rule may facilitate the collection of household pharmaceutical wastes via pharmaceutical take-back programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition submitted by the Calorie Control Council (CCC), EPA plans to propose the removal of saccharin and its salts from the lists of hazardous constituents (40 CFR section 261, appendix VIII), the list of unused commercial chemical products identified as hazardous wastes (40 CFR section 261.33(f)), and the list of hazardous substances (40 CFR section 302.4). This is because the current weight of scientific evidence supports the petitioner's request. EPA originally listed saccharin and its salts based on a scientific consensus that saccharin was a potential human carcinogen. However, the recent evaluation of available data for saccharin and its salts by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that scientific evidence does not support that saccharin and its salts are potential human carcinogens. In addition, OSWER does not believe saccharin and its salts meet any other criteria for remaining on the above specified lists.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By implementing the Smarter Waste Reporting initiative, EPA hopes to decrease the regulatory burden on respondents completing the Biennial Report (BR) by eliminating the form for waste shipped offsite. We plan to do this by proposing to: (1) substitute the BR data with the more-timely data from the eManifest system once legislation is enacted and the system is operational; (2) present an option for facilities with static hazardous waste generation to report less frequently; and (3) improve the information we currently receive from respondents who manage their waste onsite, in an effort to improve the quality of BR data.]]></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 they were initially promulgated 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. 

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revising Underground Storage Tank Regulations (Part 280, 281)--Revisions to Existing Requirements and Additions to Incorporate the Provisions of the Energy Policy Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations were first promulgated in 1988 primarily to prevent releases from retail petroleum marketers (gas stations) and other facilities into the environment. These regulations have reduced the incidents of contamination. However, there is a need to revise the regulations to incorporate changes to the UST program from the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as well as to update outdated portions of the regulations due to changes in technology since the 1980s.

On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). Title XV, Subtitle B of this act (entitled the Underground Storage Tank Compliance Act of 2005), amends Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the original legislation that created the UST program. There are key provisions of the EPAct that apply to states receiving federal UST funding but do not apply in Indian Country, including requirements for secondary containment, operator training and delivery prohibition. As a part of this action, EPA plans to develop regulations for secondary containment and operator training to apply in Indian Country and in states that choose not to obtain State Program Approval from EPA in order to achieve more consistent program results in release prevention and compliance. EPA also plans to develop regulations for delivery prohibition that EPA may apply in its enforcement actions. Both EPA and tribes recognize the importance of having requirements that can help to ensure parity in program implementation between states and in Indian Country, which is consistent with EPAs policy. Through this action, EPA will ensure federal enforceability of the EPAct provisions across the country. EPA will also use our knowledge of the program gained over the last 20 years to update and revise the regulations to make targeted changes to improve implementation and prevent UST releases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs); Manufacturing (Import) Exemption For Disposal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6(e)(3)(B) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) provides that the Administrator may grant, by rule, exemptions from the prohibitions against manufacturing, processing and distribution in commerce of PCBs upon finding that 1) no unreasonable risk to health or the environment will occur, and 2) good faith efforts have been made by the petitioner to develop a substitute for PCB which does not pose an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This entry is intended to capture petitions that request an exemption to dispose of PCBs. These petitions are managed by the Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery. Any petitions for exemptions to manufacture PCBs other than for disposal are still managed by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, and are captured by a separate Regulatory Agenda entry.
 
Currently, one petition is pending. On November 14, 2006, Veolia ES Technical Solutions submitted a petition to EPA to import up to 20,000 tons of PCB waste from Mexico for disposal at Veolia's TSCA-approved facility in Port Arthur, Texas. As a result of a public hearing, EPA forwarded a number of questions to Veolia to assist in clarifying material substantive to a rulemaking. Due to time constraints placed on the facility personnel from Hurricane Ike recovery efforts, Veolia has not yet responded to the questions. Additionally, EPA is still gathering additional information to ensure a complete and accurate record for the rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 17, 2002, EPA promulgated a final rule that included revisions to the definition of "navigable waters" in the Spill Prevention, Countermeasure and Control (SPCC) regulation. On March 31, 2008, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (D.D.C.) in American Petroleum Institute v. Johnson, 571 F.Supp.2d 165 (D.D.C. 2008), invalidated the revisions to the definition of "navigable waters" and restored the regulatory definition of "navigable waters" promulgated by EPA in 1973. As a result, EPA has amended the definition of "navigable waters" in part 112 to comply with that decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>CERCLA/EPCRA Administrative Reporting Exemption for Air Releases of Hazardous Substances From Animal Waste at Farms</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule provides an administrative reporting exemption from particular notification requirements under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. In addition, the final rule provides a limited administrative reporting exemption in certain cases from requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. Specifically, the administrative reporting exemption applies to releases of hazardous substances to the air that meet or exceed their reportable quantity where the source of those hazardous substances is animal waste at farms. Nothing in the final rule changes the notification requirements if hazardous substances are released to the air from any source other than animal waste at farms (e.g., ammonia tanks), or if any hazardous substances from animal waste are released to any other environmental media, (e.g., soil, ground water, or surface water) when the release of those hazardous substances is at or above its reportable quantity. Also, the administrative reporting exemption under CERCLA section 103, does not limit any of the Agency's other authorities under CERCLA sections 104 (response authorities), 106 (abatement actions), 107 (liability), or any other provisions of CERCLA or EPCRA. Accordingly, EPA believes this administrative reporting exemption not only leaves in place important Agency response authorities that can be used to protect human health and the environment if needed, but also is consistent with the Agency's goal to reduce reporting burden.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action recognizes the recently revised "ASTM E2247-08 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process for Forestland or Rural Property" as a compliant reference standard for the All Appropriate Inquiries Final Rule (AAI). The AAI final rule added the new standard to the list of referenced standards in 40 CFR 312.11. By taking this action (Direct Final Rule with accompanying NPRM), EPA is complying with the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), which directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities. ASTM International, a voluntary standards development organization, formally requested that EPA recognize the E2247-08 standard as compliant with the AAI final rule in a letter to Assistant Administrator Susan Bodine dated June 17, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act: Amendments to Parts 355 and 370</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA finalized changes to the Emergency Planning Notification, Emergency Release Notification and Hazardous Chemical Reporting regulations that were proposed on June 8, 1998. EPA proposed four major revisions and provided draft guidance on various reporting options that States and local agencies may wish to consider in implementing the hazardous chemical reporting requirements. The final rule addressed only those changes proposed under the heading ``Other Regulatory Changes'' described in the preamble to the 1998 proposed rule. The final rule included minor revisions to the Emergency Planning Notification, Emergency Release Notification and Hazardous Chemical Reporting regulations, codifying statutory requirements, and clarifying certain interpretations and policy statements that EPA has provided to the regulated community. This final rule did not affect public access to any of the information provided under the Emergency Planning Notification, Emergency Release Notification and Hazardous Chemical Reporting regulations. In addition to the regulatory changes, the Agency finalized the plain language format of the regulations. Each section in these regulations were re-numbered and tables were added for further clarification. Improving the clarity of the regulatory requirements made the rule easier to understand and will improve compliance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expanding the Comparable Fuels Exclusion Under RCRA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has excluded from being solid wastes under subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous secondary materials whose emissions are comparable to fuel oil. This exclusion is allowed only when those materials are managed under conditions that assure they will not be discarded either when stored or burned. Such excluded fuel is called emission-comparable fuel (ECF). ECF is subject to the same specifications that currently apply to comparable fuels, except that the specifications for hydrocarbons and oxygenates do not apply. The ECF exclusion is conditioned on requirements including: (1) 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 (2) conditions for tanks and containers storing ECF for which conditions are typical of those for storage of commercial fuels, and are tailored for the hazards that ECF may pose. EPA has addressed issues raised by commenters and has promulgated the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking to Streamline Laboratory Waste Management in Academic and Research Laboratories</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The College and University Laboratory rulemaking focuses 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 providing greater flexibility in managing laboratory hazardous wastes; thereby, creating opportunities for more efficient and effective management of these wastes.]]></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 8, 1996, 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, EPA's Office of Research and Development (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. 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>

        <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 Office of Research and Development (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.) ORD and EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (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, which will also undergo CASAC and public review. 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>Review of the Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CAA Amendments of 1977 require EPA to review and, if appropriate, revise air quality criteria, primary (health-based), and secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS every 5 years. On October 11, 1995, 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,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, EPA's Office of Research and Developement (ORD) initiated the current periodic review of NO2 air quality criteria with a call for information in the Federal Register (FR). On May 3, 2006, ORD initiated the current periodic review of SO2 air quality criteria with a call for information in the FR. The decision was made to review the oxides of nitrogen and the oxides of sulfur together, rather than individually, as has been done in the past. This decision derives from the fact that NO2, SO2, and their associated transformation products are linked from an atmospheric chemistry perspective, as well as from an environmental effects perspective (most notably in the case of secondary aerosol formation and acidification in ecosystems). 

ORD and EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) will prepare a plan for this 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, which will also undergo CASAC and public review. As the NAAQS review is completed, the Administrator's proposal to retain or revise the secondary NAAQS for NO2 and SO2 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>Petition To Delist Hazardous Air Pollutant : 4,4&apos;-Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act requires EPA to regulate 187 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 adverse human health problems. The law requires 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 support their petition. 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. This petition was deemed complete in 2005.]]></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, 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Portland Cement Notice of Reconsideration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 20, 2006, EPA 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, EPA also published a notice of reconsideration of the final new source limits for mercury and total hydrocarbons (a surrogate for non-dioxin organic HAP), and a reconsideration of the ban on the use of certain mercury containing fly ash in both new and existing kilns. The Agency took this action because there were still substantive technical issues and there was not sufficient opportunity for public comment on parts of the final action.

Since announcing our intent to reconsider the December 2006 rule, EPA has conducted extensive data gathering and analysis. As part of this effort, we requested 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. Due to the impacts of the decision of the D.C. Circuit Court on the Brick Manufacturing NESHAP, we also performed significant additional data gathering on information on cement kiln mercury and total hydrocarbon inputs and emissions.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Emissions From New Marine Compression-Ignition Engines At or Above 30 Liters per Cylinder</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Category 3 marine diesel engines (those with per cylinder displacement greater than 30 liters) are very large engines that are used for propulsion power in ocean-going vessels. Emissions from these engines 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 emissions from Category 3 marine diesel engines on ships flagged in the United States. This rulemaking will consider long-term NOx standards for new Category 3 marine diesel engines that would require the use of high efficiency aftertreatment technology. We are considering standards equivalent to the limits for nitrogen oxides (NOx) recently adopted by the International Maritime Organization, which are based on the position advanced by the United States Government as part of the international negotiations. We are also considering a revision to our diesel fuel program under the Act to allow for the manufacture and sale of marine diesel fuel with a sulfur content up to 1,000 ppm for use in Category 3 engines. The proposal would be part of a coordinated strategy, the second component of which would consist of pursuing Emission Control Area (ECA) designation for U.S. coastal areas in accordance with MARPOL Annex VI. This will ensure that all ships that affect U.S. air quality meet stringent NOx and fuel sulfur requirements. A recent D.C. Circuit decision (February 2009) upheld EPA's deadline of 12/17/09 based on EPA's commitment in the regulation to meet that deadline for the final Category 3 rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Amending Requirements To Import Ozone-Depleting Substances for Destruction in the U.S.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to revise the requirements for import of Class I and Class II controlled ozone-depleting substances (controlled substances) into the United States by adding provisions for importing controlled substances specifically for purposes of destruction. The proposed provisions would require pre-notification to EPA in the form of a certification of intent to import for destruction, and would institute additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements for persons who import controlled substances for destruction. EPA is also proposing to revise the regulations governing the destruction of controlled substances under 40 CFR part 82, subpart A, by revising the definitions governing destruction of controlled substances and revising recordkeeping and reporting requirements for persons who destroy controlled substances. EPA believes that the streamlined regulatory provisions being proposed in this action will result in the destruction of additional quantities of controlled substances in the United States that would have otherwise been emitted into the atmosphere, where they deplete the stratospheric ozone layer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Amendments to the Section 608 Leak Repair Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the refrigerant leak repair regulations (40 CFR 82, subpart F) promulgated under section 608 of the Clean Air Act. This rule would require 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>NSPS: SOCMI--Wastewater and 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. The final rule will encompass the clarifications and revisions to subpart YYY , appendix J, and 40 CFR part 63 appendix C.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) outlines the statutory requirements for EPA's stationary source air toxics program. Section 112 mandates that EPA develop standards for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) for both major and area sources listed under section 112(c). Section 112(k) requires development of standards for area sources which account for 90% of the emissions in urban areas of the 30 urban (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). The Integrated Air Toxics Strategy lists industrial boilers and commercial/institutional boilers as area source categories for regulation pursuant to section 112(c). Industrial boilers and institutional/commercial boilers are on the list of section 112(c)(6) source categories.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Defense Land Systems and Miscellaneous Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action the EPA is proposing emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions 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), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Nuclear Security Administration. Additionally, this proposed regulation will consider potential control of HAP emissions from 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 proposed rulemaking is related to surface coating activities at 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Title V Rulemaking To Clarify Certain Provisions of the Operating Permit Rules in Response to CAAA Committee Recommendations Ready for Program Office Approval</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action addresses three potential improvements to the regulations implementing the Clean Air Act's title V operating permits program. Under the title V program, each facility that is a major source of specified air pollutants is required to have a permit that describes allowable emissions and other conditions. The improvements to the program were recommended to EPA by a Task Force that recently reviewed the implementation and performance of the program. 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. The action would focus on three of the issues that the Task Force addressed as important, and will take into account their perspectives on how best to address them. The recommendations include: (1) clarifying the use of permit modification processes for administrative amendments and minor permit modifications, (2) the treatment of insignificant emission units (IEUs) in permits, and (3) alternatives to newspaper notices for public notice requirements.]]></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 sets Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards for existing and new major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions. 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 shipbuilding NESHAP. This proposed action will ensure that all activities such as pleasure vessels (yachts) intended to be subject to the NESHAP are in fact subject to it.]]></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[Under section 302(s) of the Clean Air Act and 40 CFR 51.100(s), the EPA regulates volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as precursors to ozone formation. While all VOCs have the ability to react in the atmosphere to form ozone, some VOCs react at such a slow rate their contribution to ground-level ozone is negligible. Through regulation, the Agency can exempt negligibly reactive compounds from the definition of VOC. VOCs that are exempted from the CAA definition are no longer part of the controls included in State Implementation Plans for attaining the EPA ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard. In 2005 and 2007, the EPA received petitions to exclude this family of HFPEs and also HFE-347pc-f respectively from the list of 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 is a proposal action by the Agency on the petitions received.]]></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 Clean Air Act, EPA reviewed these standards and proposed revised standards. The proposal occurred on Dec 19, 2005, and final standards were published on May 10, 2006 (71 FR 27323). A number of individuals filed litigation on various aspects of the standards. Moreover, the Agency received a separate petition to reopen the section 129(a)(2) standards. EPA agreed to initiate such an action. Accordingly, EPA petitioned the court to remand the 2006 LMWC rule to EPA. The court issued the remand in February 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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, December 27, 2006). Second, the Department of Transportation finalized new average fuel economy standards for light trucks on April 6, 2006 (71 FR 77 872). 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. This action will accomplish those tasks. These changes do not change the existing EPA test procedures or calculation methods for average fuel economy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under CAA section 112(d)(6) EPA is required to review standards issued under section 112 and to 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 provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health or prevent an adverse environmental effect. This rulemaking was under a consent decree to fulfill the requirements of Clean Air Act section 112(d)(6). The consent decree required proposal by August 21, 2007 and promulgation by January 16, 2009. The final rule was signed on January 16, 2009, but was not published in the Federal Register and the action is being reconsidered by the Agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Performance for Coal Preparation Plants--Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA entered into a consent decree to propose amendments the coal preparation (subpart Y) new source performance standard (NSPS) by April 16, 2008. The original consent decree date for final action was April 16, 2009. The consent decree was modified on January 26, 2009 and amended the date for final action to May 16, 2009 unless we publish a supplemental proposal. If we do a supplemental proposal the deadline for taking final action is September 26, 2009.
 
No substantive amendments to subpart Y have been done since the rule was originally finalized in 1976. EPA anticipates that the review will result in a tightening of the particulate emissions standard to reflect the performance of current control technologies and updated monitoring requirements. In addition, EPA anticipates expanding the applicability to cover other sources of particulate emissions at coal preparation plants. For fugitive particulate matter sources where opacity readings are not possible work practice standards will be specified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action adds new procedures to two methods required in State Implementation Plans to measure fine PM or PM 2.5 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>

        <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. 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Greenhouse Gas Mandatory Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FY2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which was signed into law on December 26, 2007, authorized funding for EPA to develop and publish a draft rule not later than 9 months after the date of enactment of this Act, and a final rule not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, to require mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions above appropriate thresholds in all sectors of the economy of the United States. The accompanying joint explanatory statement directed EPA to "use its existing authority under the Clean Air Act" to develop a mandatory greenhouse gas reporting rule. The joint explanatory statement went on to say that "The Agency is further directed to include in its rule reporting of emissions resulting from upstream production and downstream sources, to the extent that the Administrator deems it appropriate. Accordingly this rulemaking would establish monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements on facilities that produce, import, or emit greenhouse gases above a specific threshold in order to provide comprehensive and accurate data to support a range of future climate policy options.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Renewable Fuels Standard Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will implement certain provisions in Title II of the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act that amend section 211(o) of the Clean Air Act. The new law sets a modified standard for renewable fuels increasing the national requirement to 9.0 billion gallons in 2008 and rising to 36 billion gallons by 2022. Of the latter total, 21 billion gallons is required to be obtained from cellulosic biofuels and other advanced biofuels. Starting in 2016, all of the increase in the RFS target must be met with advanced biofuels, defined as cellulosic ethanol and other biofuels derived from feedstock other than corn starch--with explicit standards for cellulosic biofuels and biomass-based diesel.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Air Pollution Emergency Episodes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposes to revise subpart H of 40 CFR part 51, which establishes the significant harm levels (SHL) for sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO2), and ozone (O3), as well as the requirements for that portion of State implementation plan requirements to address air pollution emergency episodes. The proposal includes the following: (1) a new significant harm level for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), consistent with the July 18, 1997 revision of the addition of national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter PM2.5; (2) revisions to the emergency episode requirements to simplify the emergency episode classification system for air quality control regions; (3) distinction between the classic type of mounting emergency episodes (which are occurring less and less due to the improvement of air quality nationwide over the last 30 years), and the catastrophic emergency episode caused by a process or pollution control equipment malfunction at a single air pollution source; (4) revisions to address pollutant transport; and (5) removal of Appendix L (an example State emergency episode regulation) from the Code of Federal Regulations in lieu of a more comprehensive guidance document. Since many areas today that are subject to the current emergency episode requirements are very unlikely to experience these types of episodes, EPA believes it is appropriate to update the emergency episode requirements to address current realities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Source Performance Standards for Grain Elevators--Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The New Source Performance Standard for Grain Elevators was promulgated in 1978 with the latest amendments made in 1984. Since that time there have been a number of changes in the technology used for storing and loading/unloading grain at elevators. Definitions in the current regulation do not fit some of the current technologies being used at elevators throughout the country. These definitional issues have come to the forefront most recently due to the increase in ethanol production that has lead to bumper crops of corn being grown, which has led to a need for increased grain storage. For these reasons a review/change of these definitions is necessary to ensure the appropriate standards are being applied consistently throughout the industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This test method enables the representative measurement of pollutant emissions and/or total volumetric flow from stationary sources. When the method was originally developed, it addressed only sources where the flow measurements were made in locations with circular cross-sections within an exhaust stack. This technical update to the test method will address flow measurement locations with both circular and rectangular cross-sections. The revisions also include changes that increase the accuracy of the method and simplify its application. The primary users of the method will be owners and operators of utility units subject to the Acid Rain Program under title IV of the Clean Air Act and certain large electric generating units and large non-electric generating units that are subject to the nitrogen oxides (NOX) state implementation plan (SIP) call under title I of the Clean Air Act. These sources use volumetric stack flow rate monitors in order to measure sulfur dioxide (SO2) and NOX mass emissions and heat inputs emissions and must conduct periodic relative accuracy test assessments (RATAs) of the flow rate monitors at these units.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ambient Ozone Monitoring Regulations: Revisions to Network Design Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Ozone monitoring requirements were revised in October 2006 during a comprehensive revision of ambient monitoring requirements contained in 40 CFR parts 50, 53, and 58. These changes included revised minimum monitoring requirements for ozone monitors in urban areas as well as changes to the length of the required monitoring season. As stated in the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) final rule published on March 27, 2008 (73 FR 16436), EPA believes that certain changes are needed in the ozone minimum monitoring requirements to account for the newly revised levels of the NAAQS (primary and secondary NAAQS levels for ozone were revised from an eight-hour level of 0.08 ppm to an eight-hour level of 0.075 ppm). In this rulemaking, EPA will propose: (1) modest changes to minimum monitoring requirements in urban areas, (2) minimal monitoring requirements in rural areas, and (3) incremental adjustments to the length of the ozone monitoring season where indicated by statistical analysis. These proposed actions have been developed in response to comments that were received from some States, national monitoring associations, and environmental groups during the Ozone NAAQS proposal that was published on July 11, 2007 (72 FR 37818). No changes will be proposed in ozone measurement methodology, quality assurance requirements, or probe siting requirements. Therefore, the implementation of any proposed changes should be routine for affected monitoring agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation of Fuel and Fuel Additives: Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Test Methods</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would allow refiners and laboratories to use more current and improved fuel testing procedures for certain American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) analytical test methods. Once these test method changes are adopted, they will supersede the corresponding earlier versions of these test methods in EPAs motor vehicle fuel regulations. Finally, the rule would allow an alternative test method for olefins in gasoline. This rule would allow improvements in the test method procedure to ensure better operation and provide additional flexibility to the regulated community. The clean air benefits of EPAs gasoline and diesel motor vehicle fuel programs will continue to be realized. There will be no adverse health or environmental impact as a result of these test method changes or updates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Quality: Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic Compounds--Exclusion of Methyl Bromide and Methyl Iodide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will propose options related to the potential to revision of EPA's definition of volatile organic compounds (VOC) for purposes of preparing State implementation plans (SIPs) to attain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone under title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This proposed revision would consider the addition of methyl bromide and methyl iodide to the list of compounds excluded from the definition of VOC on the basis that these compounds make a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. The potential impacts from the addition of these compounds to the exclusion of the definition of VOC will be discussed, and public comment sought. In 1996 and 2008 the EPA received petitions to exclude methyl bromide and also methyl iodide respectively from the list of VOCs on the basis that, as a precursor, these compounds make a negligible contribution to the formation of tropospheric ozone. These compounds are used as pesticides. This is a proposal action by the Agency on the petitions received.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Restructuring of the Stationary Source Audit Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[40 CFR parts 51, 60, 61, and 63 contain EPA's air toxics emissions standards (NESHAPS) and emission standards for new stationary sources (NSPS). 40 CFR 63.7(c)(2)(ii) requires an external Quality Assurance (QA) program that at a minimum includes an application of plans for a test method performance audit during the performance test. 40 CFR part 60 appendices also contain similar requirements within individual test methods. Currently EPA provides these audit samples free of charge because there were no commercial sources. Because of growth in the laboratory calibration standards, there are now commercial sources available to provide these audit samples. Restructuring this program will allow commercial suppliers to replace EPA as the source of audit samples. As a result of restructuring, there will be both greater availability and new kinds of audit samples which should yield increased usage of the audit sample program and, in turn, overall better quality test data. Without this rulemaking being promulgated by October 2009, EPA would require 220K additional funds in FY 2010 and every year thereafter to run the program with the new kind of samples and greater sample availability offered by the restructured program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking action proposes rules for implementation of the 2008 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). EPA promulgated that standard on March 12, 2008 under section 109 of the Clean Air Act (73 FR 16436 (March 27, 2008)). The rulemaking will cover the various elements of State implementation plans that States must submit under the Clean Air Act to implement that standard. These elements include the attainment demonstration, reasonable further progress requirements, and reasonably available control technology requirements. The rule will address how to transition from the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, and will also establish also rules for classification of nonattainment areas for the 2008 ozone standard. The actual classification of areas would occur in a separate rulemaking designating areas for the standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action amends the final MACT rule for Group IV Polymers and Resins (Subpart JJJ) under National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for thermoplastics (Group IV polymers and Resins) by addressing a petition by Arteva Specialties for reconsideration concerning subcategorization and the control requirements for leaking equipment. The action will clarify the categorization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin using the continuous terephthalic acid high viscosity multiple end finisher process and determine whether the cost analysis used to regulate leaking equipment should be based on individual component types rather than the aggregated approach used in the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protocols for Monitoring and Measuring Mercury Emissions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would codify two optional mercury emissions test methods and two optional performance specifications for mercury emissions monitoring. These standardized test methods and monitoring specifications may be used at the discretion of emission sources, states, testing organizations and others to characterize vapor phase mercury emissions from boilers and other sources of mercury; the test methods may also be used to perform relative accuracy test audits of mercury emissions monitoring systems. The mercury test methods, an instrumental test method and a sorbent trap-based test method, may be preferred over existing standardized mercury test methods because of decreased costs, simpler implementation, and/or more timely results; they will be codified in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60. The mercury monitoring specifications will provide for standardization of mercury monitoring measurements and would be codified in appendix B of 40 CFR part 60. This action does not change any emission standards or add any recordkeeping or reporting requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 16, 2007, we published amendments to the new source performance standards for equipment leaks in 40 CFR part 60 subparts VV, VVa, GGG, and GGGa. After promulgation of the rule we received a petition for reconsideration from the American Chemistry Council (ACC), American Petroleum Institute (API), and National Petrochemical Refiners Association (NPRA), which we granted in part on March 4, 2008. This package will address those reconsideration issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal is intended to establish national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for existing stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) (gas-fired and diesel) that are either located at area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions or that have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 brake horsepower (hp) and are located at major sources of HAP emissions. The proposal also establishes NESHAP for existing stationary compression ignition (diesel) engines with a site rating of greater than 500 brake hp that are located at major sources of HAP emissions. EPA has previously promulgated NESHAP for new stationary RICE located at major sources of HAP emissions, existing stationary spark ignition (gas-fired) engines that have a site rating of greater than 500 brake hp and are located at major sources of HAP emissions, and new stationary RICE located at area sources of HAP emissions. This regulation will complete our statutory obligation to establish NESHAP for stationary engines at major and area sources. We are also taking comment on (1) the feasibility of approaches that would further reduce the remaining diesel engine emissions (PM2.5 and black carbon), including requiring use of catalyzed diesel particulate filters; and (2) approaches that would address emissions during startup, shutdown, and malfunction periods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Federal Volatility Control Program in the Denver-Boulder-Greeley-Ft. Collins-Loveland, CO, 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to establish an applicable standard of 7.8 pounds per square inch (psi) Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) under the federal volatility control program in the Denver-Boulder-Greeley-Ft. Collins-Loveland, Colorado, 8-hour ozone nonattainment area during the summer ozone control season--June 1 to September 15 of each year. This action would require the use of 7.8 psi RVP gasoline in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties, and in portions of Larimer and Weld counties. EPA is proposing to take this action to align the federal volatility requirements with the Denver nonattainment area boundaries under the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will establish a manufacturer-run, in-use emissions testing program for 2013 and later model year nonroad diesel engines used in non-road equipment. The new program will assess in-use gaseous and particulate exhaust emission rates from nonroad diesel engines using portable emission measurement systems. Manufacturers will monitor compliance with the applicable not-to-exceed emission standards by typically testing in-use diesel engines during normal operation. If potentially non-complying engines are identified, the manufacturer will test more engines for the purpose of determining if any further action is necessary. EPA will likewise evaluate the in-use emissions data to make independent determinations about the possible need to pursue further testing or to initiate remedial actions. The in-use test data will not only be used by EPA to assure that emission standards are being met, but also by manufacturers to improve their engine designs. This program will address a serious, long-standing need for real-world in-use testing data to gauge the performance of engine emission controls.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is being developed under section 112(c)(6) of the Clean Air Act, which requires EPA to list categories and subcategories of sources assuring that sources accounting for not less than 90 per centum of the aggregate emissions of mercury are subject to standards under subsection 112(d)(2) or 112(d)(4) of the Clean Air Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 17, 2009, the Administrator proposed an Endangerment Finding under section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act.  This proposed finding had two components.  First, the Administrator proposed to find that the current and projected concentrations of the mix of six key greenhouse gases--carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide  (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)--in the atmosphere endanger the public health and welfare of current and future generations through climate change.  In the second component of the proposal, known as the Cause or Contribute Finding, the Administrator further proposed to find that the combined emissions of four of these six greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines contribute to the atmospheric concentrations of these key  greenhouse gases and hence to the threat of climate change.  EPA has not proposed in this action any new regulation of motor vehicle or motor vehicle emissions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Air and Radiation plans to undertake a revision of EPA's regulation at 40 CFR part 211, subpart B, regarding the labeling of products that are sold wholly or in part on the basis of their ability to reduce the level of sound entering a person's ears, typically referred to as Hearing Protectors. This action is being taken under the authority of section 8 of the Noise Control Act of 1972, which authorizes EPA to revise the current compliance test methodologies as necessary, and incorporate new test methods and rating schemes to address hearing protector technologies that have evolved since initial promulgation of the regulation in 1979.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Quality Designations and Classifications for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 12, 2008, EPA promulgated revised ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). This action will establish the air quality designations and classifications for all areas of the United States under the revised standards, as required by section 107 of the Clean Air Act. Designations of attainment, nonattainment, or unclassifiable are based upon air quality monitoring data and other relevant information pertaining to the air quality in the affected area, including whether an area contributes to a violation of the standard in a nearby area. The schedule and process for designations is contained in section 107. Under the schedule, States and Tribes are to submit their designation recommendations no later than one year from promulgation of the revised NAAQS. EPA is required to notify States and Tribes of any modifications that EPA intends to make to their recommendations no later than 120 days prior to promulgation of the designations. EPA must make the designations no later than 2 years from promulgation of the revised NAAQS. However, EPA may extend that date by up to one year if EPA has insufficient information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of New Sources and Modifications in Indian Country</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act's New Source Review (NSR) provisions, the EPA is developing 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. 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. Tribal governments may be affected, however, insofar as they own or operate sources that must obtain a permit from the EPA under the final Federal permitting program regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petroleum Refineries--New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)--Subparts J and Ja</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 24, 2008, EPA promulgated amendments to the Standards of Performance for Petroleum Refineries and new standards for process units constructed, reconstructed, or modified after May 14, 2007. EPA received three petitions for reconsideration of the final rule. On September 26, 2008, EPA granted reconsideration and issued a stay for the issues raised in the petitions regarding process heaters and flares. On December 22, 2008, EPA addressed those specific issues by proposing amendments to certain provisions for process heaters and flares. EPA also proposed various technical corrections in that action that were raised in the petitions for reconsideration. EPA will take action on other issues raised by Petitioners in future notices. The notice deferred action on all the other reconsideration requests, including greenhouse gas controls. A direct final rule issued on 12/22/08 extended the stay until a final decision on reconsideration has been reached.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incineration Units--Response to Remand</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. On February 6, 2007, EPA published a proposal that responded to the questions raised in the Court's remand and also addressed the CAA section 129(a)(5) requirement that EPA review and, if necessary, revise standards developed under section 129 every 5 years. Recent Court decisions that impact the February 2007 proposal, as well as issues raised in the public comments regarding that proposal, necessitated a re-proposal of responses to the questions raised in the Court's remand.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 finalized two sets of regulations to implement section 176(c). First, on November 24, EPA finalized the Transportation Conformity Regulations to establish the criteria and procedures for determining that transportation plans, programs, and projects that are funded under title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal Transit Act conform with the SIP. Then, on November 30, EPA finalized 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 finalization. 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.]]></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.]]></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. If found acceptable, this would provide industry with another alternative to solvents with higher ozone depletion potential. An acceptability determination 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 as safe and environmentally protective as other available substitutes. OSHA does not currently regulate nPB.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of Substitutes in the Motor Vehicle Air Conditioning Sector Under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act provides for the review of alternatives to ozone-depleting substances and the approval of substitutes that do not present a risk more significant than other alternatives that are available. Under that authority, the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, the EPA is expanding the list of acceptable substitutes for ozone-depleting substances (ODS). The substitute addressed in the first final rule (R-152a) is for the motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) end-use within the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector. This substitute does not pose significantly more risk than other substitutes that are available in this end use. Additionally, this substitute is a non ozone-depleting gas and consequently does not contribute to stratospheric ozone depletion.

2nd Final Action: EPA plans to finalize the use of R-744 in the MVAC end-use within the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector. This substitute does not pose significantly more risk than other substitutes that are available in this end use. Additionally, this substitute is a non ozone-depleting gas and consequently does not contribute to stratospheric ozone depletion.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is concerned with the environmental impacts that could result from the potential continued imports of appliances pre-charged with HCFCs after the domestic phaseout of the import and production of bulk substances. Similar concerns resulted in the banning the imports of refrigeration appliances pre-charged with CFCs after the 1996 phaseout of production and import of bulk substances. Therefore, this rule proposes to ban the import of HCFC pre-charged products under the provisions within title VI of CAAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inspection/Maintenance Program Requirements for Federal Facilities; Amendment to the Final Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has had oversight and policy development authority for Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs since the passage of the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 1970. The 1977 amendments to the CAA mandated I/M for certain areas with long-term air quality problems and the 1990 amendments set forth standards for implementation of I/M programs. EPA used the statutory requirements of the Act, including I/M requirements for Federal facilities, to promulgate regulations which States would use in the development of their I/M State Implementation Plans (SIPs). 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>Performance Specifications for Continuous Parameter Monitoring Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Compliance with many air rules is determined through use of process parameter values, instead of direct measurements of the pollutants of concern. No uniform set of requirements exist that inform users of parameter monitoring devices of the suitability of the devices for specific tasks or the ability of the devices to provide valid data. The lack of such requirements means that the data from those devices are less certain than other data collected for the Agency and puts those who rely on parameter monitoring values at risk of being incorrect. This rule would establish minimum acceptable requirements, both for initial installation and ongoing operation, for five common classes of parameter monitoring devices  temperature, pressure, flow rate (liquid, gas, and mass), pH, and conductivity. In addition, this rule would revise portions of other rules to ensure a consistent approach for parameter monitoring. Finally, unrelated to parameter monitoring, the rule would clarify ongoing quality assurance requirements for direct measurement devices that detect multiple pollutants. The rule was proposed on October 9, 2008, and it can be found beginning on page 59,956 of Volume 73 of the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

On January 30, 2009, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) submitted a petition for reconsideration (the NRDC Petition) of our rule issued on January 15, 2009, that addressing NSR Aggregation. This rule described when a source must combine (aggregate) nominally-separate physical changes and changes in the method of operation for the purpose of determining whether they are a single change resulting in a significant emission increase.

On February 13, 2009, we announced the convening of a reconsideration proceeding for the NSR Aggregation Rule, and an administrative stay of the rule's effective date. That notice delayed the effective date of the rule from February 17, 2009 until May 18, 2009. On March 18, 2009, we proposed to extend that stay of the effective date beyond May 18, 2009, to allow EPA to complete its reconsideration proceeding before the rule's effective date.]]></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. Among other things, the amendments will fix typographical errors, approve training programs for MWC operators in the State of Minnesota, revise some emission limits, and remove one voluntary consensus standard, ASTM D-6522, which is not an appropriate test method for this industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Mercury Cell Chlor-Alkali Plants--Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The existing NESHAP for mercury cell chlor-alkali plants was promulgated in 2003, in 40 CFR part 63 subpart IIIII, 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 2004, 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 showed that the plants are emitting on the average of 500 g/day of mercury (0.2 tons per year) which is well below the previous 1,300 g/day operating value allowed in the previous part 61 rule. EPA published a proposal in June 2008, as per an agreement with NRDC, and is currently reviewing comments.]]></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 of air quality due to emissions of any pollutant for which a NAAQS has been promulgated. The NAAQS for PM2.5 were 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 and Significant Impact Levels (SILs), and a Significant Monitoring Concentration (SMC) to facilitate implementation of a PM2.5 PSD program. This rulemaking will address those issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Method 208 is a protocol for collecting, analyzing, and reporting of volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from asphalt paving production operations. It will produce more accurate measurement of the mass of VOC emissions from such operations than any other current method for measuring VOC. The method will allow the EPA to make a more accurate assessment of whether asphalt paving plants are major sources under the Federal programs for New Source Review and Prevention of Significant Deterioration. This method was developed by the National Asphalt Paving Association specifically for asphalt paving plants as an alternative to existing EPA methods for measuring VOC. EPA is promulgating these methods to make them more widely available and acceptable for use by asphalt paving producers in meeting various environmental regulations.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjustments to the Allowance System for Controlling HCFC Production, Import, and Export</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this action, EPA seeks to adjust the allowance system that controls the U.S. consumption and production of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) known as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) to lower the amount of available allowances. While much less destructive to stratospheric ozone than chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), HCFCs contribute to ozone depletion and alternatives are generally available. The HCFC allowance system is part of EPAs program to reduce the emissions of ODSs to protect the stratospheric ozone layer. Protection of the stratospheric ozone layer helps reduce rates of skin cancer and cataracts. The U.S. is obligated under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer to limit HCFC consumption and production in a stepwise fashion achieving specific levels by specific dates. The first major reduction occurred January 1, 2004. This rulemaking concerns the next major milestone, a reduction to 75% below the production and consumption baselines beginning January 1, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule allocates essential use allowances for the import and production of Class I stratospheric ozone depleting substances for 2009. Essential use allowances enable a person to produce or import 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. These chemicals were phased out of production internationally due to their harmful effects on the earth's ozone layer. EPA has promulgated such rules to allocate new production since the 1996 phase out. Under this rule, the essential uses are the manufacture of important medical devices such as asthma inhalers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the new source performance standards for equipment leaks in 40 CFR part 60, subparts VV, VVa, GGG, and GGGa, which was signed by the Administrator October 31, 2007, and published November 16, 2007. We are preparing the amendments to address concerns raised in a petition for reconsideration from the American Chemistry Council (ACC), American Petroleum Institute (API), and National Petrochemical Refiners Association (NPRA). Under this reconsideration we are amending 4 requirements: (1) The definition of process unit as it relates to the allocation of shared storage vessels, (2) the provisions for allocating shared storage vessels to process units, (3) connector monitoring for subpart VVa, and (4) the capital expenditure definition in subpart VVa.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the 1997 8-Hr Ozone NAAQS:  Revision on Subpart 1 Area Reclassification and Anti-Backsliding Provisions Under Former 1-Hr Ozone Standard; Deletion of Obsolete 1-Hr Ozone Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking action would revise the Phase 1 rule for implementation of the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) to address partial vacatur by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The rulemaking would do the following: (1) Remove the provision that places some 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas under title I, part D, subpart 1 of the CAA; (2) Remove the exemption from anti-backsliding for the following three obligations under the now-revoked 1-hour ozone NAAQS:
 - New source review;
 - CAA section 185 penalty fees for severe and extreme areas that fail to attain the 1-hour standard by their attainment date; and
 - Contingency measures for failure to attain the 1-hour standard or make reasonable progress toward attainment.

The rule would also address: (1) the classification system for nonattainment areas that the implementation rule originally covered under Clean Air Act (CAA) title I, part D, subpart 1; and (2) contingency measures that apply as anti-backsliding measures under the now-revoked 1-hour standard. The rule would also remove an obsolete provision in the 1-hour ozone standard itself (40 CFR 50.9(c)).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Quality Designations for the 24-Hour Fine Particle (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would finalize the designation of each area of the country as attainment, nonattainment, or unclassifiable with regard to the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS.

The notice for these final area designations was signed on December 22, 2008, but was not published and is currently under review. 

In 2006, EPA revised the 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS from 65 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) to 35 µg/m3 and retained the annual PM2.5 NAAQS of 15 µg/m3. The revised 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS was published on October 17, 2006 (71 FR 61144) and became effective on December 18, 2006. The 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS was revised based on a number of health studies showing that short-term exposure to PM2.5 is associated with increased mortality and a range of serious health effects, including aggravation of lung disease, asthma attacks, and heart problems. The designations given in this rule are for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. The area designations for the 1997 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS remain the same. EPA has not previously revoked, and is not by this action revoking, the 1997 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking To Reaffirm the Promulgation of Revisions of the Acid Rain Program Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will reaffirm the promulgation of certain long-standing Acid Rain Program (ARP) provisions. The action will not change any existing provisions of the ARP rules but will ensure that existing provisions, which have been in effect and in use since 2006, will remain in effect. EPA finalized certain revisions to the ARP rules in Federal Register (FR) notices that also finalized the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the Federal Implementation Plans for CAIR (CAIR FIPs). These ARP revisions would have been adopted even in the absence of CAIR and the CAIR FIPs. The first type of ARP revisions changed the allowance-holding and -transfer requirements in the SO2 trading program from unit-level to facility-level. The second type of ARP revisions explicitly allowed the use of agents by designated representatives, while holding designated representatives ultimately responsible for any agent's actions. The third type of ARP revisions was a miscellaneous group of minor, technical changes streamlining the ARP rules. After the ARP revisions were final and effective, EPA modified its electronic allowance tracking system and electronic emissions reporting system to reflect these revisions by, for example, removing individual-unit allowance accounts and creating instead allowance accounts for each facility or "source." All three types of revisions were implemented in 2006, and many of the revisions, particularly the first two types of revisions, have been widely used by regulated companies since mid-2006. On July 11, 2008 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision to vacate and remand CAIR and the CAIR FIPs to EPA. EPA and other parties filed petitions for rehearing, and in response, the Court on December 23 issued a decision to remand without vacating CAIR and the CAIR FIPs. The ARP revisions are not related to CAIR or the CAIR FIPs and EPA believes it is reasonable to view them as unaffected by the Court's decision. However, we are reaffirming the revisions to remove any uncertainty about their regulatory status. Although the Court decided to remand without vacating CAIR and the CAIR FIPs, EPA still needs to clarify the status of the ARP revisions in order to remove any ambiguity that may exist because of uncertainty about the breadth of the Court's opinion as well as to potentially respond to the remand if necessary. We originally published this action as a direct final rule, but had to withdraw it due to receipt of one adverse comment. We will consider the comment received and publish a final rule in July 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is proposing to delay the effective date for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule addressing aggregation under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and the nonattainment New Source Review (NSR) programs (collectively, NSR) published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2009. 

This rule (the NSR Aggregation Amendments) described when a source must combine (aggregate) nominally-separate physical changes and changes in the method of operation for the purpose of determining whether they are a single change resulting in a significant emissions increase. 

On January 30, 2009, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) submitted a petition for reconsideration (the NRDC Petition) of the NSR Aggregation Amendments. In response to the NRDC Petition, EPA announced on February 13, 2009, that it would convene a reconsideration proceeding for the NSR Aggregation Amendments and would delay the effective date of the rule from February 17, 2009 until May 18, 2009. In this notice, EPA is proposing an additional delay of the effective date of the NSR Aggregation Amendments and soliciting comment on the duration of this additional delay in order to allow for sufficient time to conduct the reconsideration proceeding.]]></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 No. 2. Since that time science has progressed and a new methodology based on an effective dose equivalent approach is currently being recommended by the ICRP in Report No. 26. This action would propose updating 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>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 in November 2003 to solicit early public input on this issue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Health and Environmental Protection Standards for Uranium and Thorium Mill Tailings and Uranium In Situ Leaching Processing Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPAs regulations in 40 CFR 192 were written in accordance with Section 206(a) of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA) which inserted a new section 275 in the Atomic Energy Act (AEA). They establish standards for protection of the public health, safety, and environment from radiological and nonradiological hazards associated with uranium ore processing, and disposal of resulting waste materials. These cross-media standards, which apply to pollutant emissions and site restoration, must be adopted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, their Agreement States, and the Department of Energy. We propose to review all the standards in the existing rule, revise the regulations to take into account significant changes in uranium industry technologies and their potential impacts to groundwater and air quality, recent revisions in EPA drinking water protection standards, judicial decisions concerning the subject regulations, and need for new radiological risk assessments to take into account unanticipated risks to the general public and environment. Section 275 (b)(2) of the AEA authorized the Administrator to periodically revise the standards while section 275 (c) provided direction on how that must be accomplished. Since the regulations were last revised in 1995, increased demand for uranium to meet United States energy needs has resulted in significant public environmental concerns over uranium ore processing, particularly by In Situ Leaching (ISL) extraction methodologies. New facilities proposed in states from Virginia to Alaska, in addition to ongoing regulatory efforts by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for facility licensure and groundwater protection in advance of concomitant revised EPA standards, add to the justification for undertaking this effort.]]></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. The current review of the PM NAAQS began in 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 EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) and Office of Research and Development (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. 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. The Administrator will propose to retain or revise the PM NAAQS, as appropriate, taking into consideration CASAC and public comment. Input received during the public comment period for the proposed decision will be considered in the Administrator's final decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Combustion Turbines--Petition To Delist</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In August 2002, the Agency received a petition to remove certain types of stationary gas-fired combustion turbines from the list of hazardous air pollutant sources under Section 112(c) of the Clean Air Act. After negotiating with the petitioner regarding the acquisition of additional data regarding its petition and reviewing the additional data, the Agency proposed a partial granting of the petition by delisting 4 subcategories of stationary gas-fired turbines in April 2004. Simultaneously, the Agency proposed a stay of the effectiveness of the combustion turbine MACT for those subcategories of turbines, delaying the imposition of control requirements for the delisted turbines until a final action is taken regarding the delisting. The Agency is waiting until the completion of the final IRIS assessment regarding the carcinogenic potency of formaldehyde before taking final action on the petition. The final IRIS action on formaldehyde is expected to occur in August 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>Importation of Nonconforming Vehicles; Amendments to Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the regulations in 40 CFR part 85, subpart P to allow entry into the United States of vehicles which are originally sold in Canada and which are identical to their U.S. counterparts, without obtaining a certificate of conformity from EPA. This action is in response to a petition for review of import rules. The final rule also will address certain other issues in part 85, subpart P and subpart R, including: (1) formalizing a long-standing EPA policy regarding the importation of owned vehicles that are proven to be identical to a vehicle certified for sale in the United States (2) establishing new emission standards applicable to imported nonconforming vehicles; (3) clarifying the regulatory language that concerns exclusions and exemptions from meeting Federal emission requirements; and (4) providing several minor clarifications to the existing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Process for Exempting Emergency Uses of Methyl Bromide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, this rule would seek to create an exemption for emergency uses of methyl bromide, an ozone depleting substance. This exemption will be limited to no more than 20 metric tons per emergency event. This action would 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. The exemption would be used for emergency uses only.]]></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[This rule would amend 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. This rule would update parts of the regulation concerning the technician certification exam. The exam needs to reflect developments in new refrigerants, equipment, and technology over the last 12 years. This rule would provide specific requirements for programs applying to become certifying organizations, would specify reporting and recordkeeping requirements in order to enhance implementation of the program, and would define other administrative components of the program to improve accountability.]]></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 proposing to revise 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>

This exclusion of oxygenate is already allowed for a refinery's gasoline to which oxygenate was added outside of the refinery gate.

        <RULE_TITLE>Lifting the Stay of the Eight-Hour Portion of the Findings of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for Purposes of Reducing Interstate Ozone Transport (&quot;NOx SIP Call&quot;)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Nitrogen Oxides State Implementation Plan Call (NOx SIP Call)(63 FR 57356, October 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flexible Air Permit Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would promulgate changes to the state and federal operating permit regulations required by title V of the Clean Air Act and providing certain clarifying statements regarding the existing regulations governing minor and major New Source Review (NSR) in order to facilitate greater consideration of flexible air permits (FAPs). The Agency believes that these actions could potentially affect a wide spectrum of sources types, encompassing over 30 SICs.

A flexible air permit is an operating permit issued by a state or local agency through an EPA-approved title V permit program that through its design facilitates flexible operations at a source, allowing the source to be market-responsive while ensuring equal or greater environmental protection than that achieved by conventional permits. FAPS cannot circumvent, modify, or contravene any applicable requirement and must assure compliance with each requirement that is applicable, or becomes applicable. FAP approaches were developed in the context of several state pilot projects which were launched to address the delay and uncertainty issues raised by certain companies.]]></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 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[The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to review new source performance standards (NSPS) within a specified time frame following the initial promulgation of the standard and, if appropriate, revise the standard. 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[Under the "technology review" provision of CAA section 112, EPA is required to review maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards and to revise them as necessary (taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies) no less frequently than every 8 years. Under the "residual risk" provision of CAA section 112, EPA must evaluate the MACT standards within 8 years after promulgation and promulgate standards if required to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health or prevent an adverse environmental effect. EPA has combined the remaining MACT source categories requiring residual risk and technology reviews into several groups of "risk and technology" (RTR) reviews. This action focuses on RTR Group 3 which consists of 19 MACT standards (covering 21 source categories) with MACT compliance dates of 2003 and earlier.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking takes final action to revise the Phase 2 rule for implementing the 8-hour ozone NAAQS to address partial vacatur by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In response to that vacatur, EPA proposed to treat precursor emissions in a way that is consistent with the analogous provisions in the PM2.5 implementation rule (72 FR 20636), such that if the state justifies consideration of precursor emissions for an area outside the nonattainment area, EPA will expect state RFP assessments to reflect emissions changes from all sources in this area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Greenhouse Gases Under the Clean Air Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 30, 2008, the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Greenhouse Gases under the Clean Air Act was published in the Federal Register. This advanced notice solicited public input as EPA considers the effects of climate change and potential regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from stationary and mobile sources under the Clean Air Act. As EPA has considered how best to respond to the Supreme Courts decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, as well as how to respond to petitions and comments received in rulemakings asking EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from mobile and stationary sources , it has become clear that implementing the Supreme Courts decision could affect sources beyond cars and trucks. In this advance notice, EPA presented and requested comment on the best available science including specific and quantifiable effects of greenhouse gases relevant to making an endangerment finding and the implications of this finding with regard to the regulation of both mobile and stationary sources. This notice also sought comment, relevant data, and questions about the implications of the possible regulation of stationary and mobile sources, particularly covering the various petitions, lawsuits and court deadlines before the Agency. These include the Agency response to the Massachusetts v. EPA decision, several mobile source petitions (on-road, non-road, marine and aviation), and several stationary source rulemakings (petroleum refineries, Portland cement, and power plant and industrial boilers). Finally, the notice also raised potential issues in the New Source Review program, including greenhouse gas thresholds and whether permitting authorities might need to define best available control technologies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 10, 2008 (73 FR 1916), EPA issued final national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for gasoline distribution area source bulk terminals, bulk plants, pipeline facilities, and gasoline dispensing facilities. Subsequently, we received two petitions for reconsideration from industry to clarify some applicability and implementation provisions of the final rule. This action would propose and promulgate amendments to address the issues raised by the petitioners as well as compliance-related questions raised by other stakeholders.]]></ABSTRACT>

The petition requests that EPA make a finding that a power plant being proposed to be built in Henderson County, Kentucky (Cash Creek) will emit air pollutants that will significantly contribute to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance by, Warrick County and Newburgh, Indiana with respect to the national ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter. Based on such a finding, the petition requests that EPA establish emission limitations for the proposed power plant to prevent the significant contribution.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977, EPA is required to review and, if appropriate, revise the air quality criteria for the primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) every 5 years. On March 23, 2008, the EPA published a final rule to revise the primary and secondary NAAQS for ozone to provide increased protection of public health and welfare. With regard to the primary standard for ozone, EPA revised the level of the 8-hour ozone standard to 0.075 ppm. With regard to the secondary ozone standard, EPA made it identical in all respects to the primary ozone standard, as revised. Petitions for review were filed in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and EPA officials are currently in the process of reviewing the March 2008 Ozone NAAQS Rule to determine whether the standards established in the Ozone NAAQS Rule should be maintained, modified or otherwise reconsidered. EPA has also initiated the next 5-year review of the ozone NAAQS. The review began in October 2008 with a workshop to discuss key policy-relevant issues around which EPA would structure the review. The workshop discussions provide important input as OAR and ORD consider the appropriate design and scope of the major elements of the review: 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. 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. The Administrator will propose to retain or revise the ozone NAAQS, as appropriate, taking into consideration CASAC and public comment. Input received during the public comment period for the proposed decision will be considered in the Administrator's final decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Stay of CAIR and CAIR FIP for Minnesota</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, EPA is proposing to stay the effectiveness, for the State of Minnesota only, of two final rules we issued under section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) related to the interstate transport of pollutants: (1) the May 12, 2005 Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and (2) the April 28, 2006 backstop CAIR federal implementation plan (FIP). The D.C. Circuit held that EPA, in CAIR and the CAIR FIP, had not properly addressed possible errors in EGU emissions for certain EGUs in Minnesota, and EPA's stated intention to stay the effectiveness of the rules for the State of Minnesota was presented to the D.C. Circuit before it decided to remand rather than vacate the rule. EPA is proposing to stay the effectiveness of these two rules with respect to sources in Minnesota only, while EPA examines the possible errors identified by the court and their potential impact on the inclusion of Minnesota in CAIR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) Replacement Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 12, 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated the Clean Air Interstate Rule, commonly known as CAIR (70 FR 25162). CAIR used a cap and trade approach to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. 

On July 11, 2008, the D.C. Circuit issued an opinion finding CAIR unlawful and vacating the rule. On December 23, the D.C. Circuit issued a decision on the petitions for rehearing of the July 11 decision. The court granted EPA's petition for rehearing to the extent that it remanded the cases without vacatur of CAIR. This ruling means that the CAIR rule remains in place, but that EPA is also obligated to promulgate another rule under 110(a)(2)(D) consistent with the court's July 11 opinion. This rulemaking is to fulfill our obligation to develop a rule consistent with the court decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Response to Section 126 Petition from North Carolina</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is reconsidering its decision to deny the petition submitted by the State of North Carolina to EPA pursuant to section 126 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

On March 18, 2004, North Carolina submitted a petition to EPA, under section 126 of the CAA, alleging that upwind major sources of PM and ozone precursors were contributing significantly to North Carolina's ability to attain or maintain the PM and ozone NAAQS. In 2006, EPA denied North Carolina's petition when we issued the CAIR FIP rule. After the D.C. Circuit remanded the CAIR rule, the legal basis for denying the PM part of North Carolina's petition no longer exists. In addition, facts have changed fundamentally regarding the ozone part of the petition. On March 5, 2009 the D.C. Circuit granted our motion for voluntary remand of our decision to deny North Carolina's petition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a result of the vacatur of the Clean Air Mercury Rule, EPA will be reverting to the December 2000 regulatory determination that added coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units to the list of sources that must be regulated under section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The Agency will develop a Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standard which will reduce hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from this source category. Recent Court decisions on other MACT rules will be considered in developing this regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Exceptional Events Rule (Treatment of Data Influenced by Exceptional Events, 72 FR 13560 published 3/22/07) provides a general schedule for the flagging of monitored data affected by exceptional events and the submission of final documentation in the Air Quality Subsystem Database (AQS) for support analysis of air quality related to National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) attainment. If the general schedule does not allow sufficient time to flag and document data prior to statutory deadlines, the Agency reserved the authority to provide revised schedules when new NAAQS are finalized. The proposed rule would provide those revised schedules associated with the last ozone NAAQS revision, which was promulgated on March 27, 2008 (73 FR 16436).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clean Air Mercury Rule: Federal Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 22, 2006 EPA proposed a Federal Plan to implement the requirements of the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) for any States that did not have a timely, approved State Plan, as well as certain Tribes. On February 8, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit vacated CAMR. As a result, CAMR is no longer in effect. We are therefore withdrawing this Federal Plan from the Regulatory Agenda.]]></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>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 5, 1978 the EPA promulgated primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for lead under section 109 of the Clean Air Act (43 FR 46258). Both primary (health based) and secondary (welfare) 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 final AQCD was released October 1, 2006. 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. Drafts of the AQCD and the draft Staff Paper were reviewed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) and the public. A final Staff Paper was completed on November 1, 2007. An ANPRM was published in December 2007 outlining the results of the final risk assessment and giving consideration to the policy assessment. The Administrator's proposal to revise the lead NAAQS was published on May 20, 2008, with a request for public comment. Input received during the public comment period was considered in the Administrator's final decision which was published on November 12, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Specification 16--Specifications and Test Procedures for Predictive Emission Monitoring Systems in Stationary Sources</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Performance Specification 16 is being 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>Section 126 Rule Withdrawal Provision</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 addressed 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. This potential overlap problem is now moot, since the NOx Budget Program and potentially duplicative Section 126 Rule requirements were superseded by the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) in 2005. Although the D.C. Circuit has remanded the CAIR rule, it remains in effect at this time, and EPA is currently engaged in responding to that remand.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking activity, which is being withdrawn prior to initiation of internal work effort, would have followed up the "Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Routine Maintenance, Repair and Replacement" rulemaking (RIN 2060-AK28), which specified categories of equipment replacement activities that would qualify as "routine maintenance, repair, and replacement" (RMRR) under the Clean Air Act's NSR Program (40 CFR parts 51 and 52). That final action--referred to as the "equipment replacement provision" (ERP)--was promulgated in the Federal Register on 10/27/03 (68 FR 61248), but was then vacated by the court. This action was originally intended to establish a regulatory definition for maintenance and repair activities (that are not equipment replacements) that qualify for the RMRR Exclusion from Major NSR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is withdrawing "Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjusting Allowances for Class I Substances for Export to Article 5 Countries." The proposed rule was developed to address concerns that there could be insufficient amounts of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)--potent ozone depleting substances--available to meet basic domestic needs in developing countries during their transition to substitutes with less overall environmental risk. However, because 2009 is the final year before the developing countries phase out CFC consumption, EPA no longer believes it is necessary to modify our existing regulations to increase the amount of CFCs available for export.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Import Petitioning Requirements for Halon-1301 Aircraft Fire Extinguishing Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule provided 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 forty working days before a shipment is to leave the foreign port of export. This rule reduces 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 requires importers to adhere to all import petitioning requirements but requires one petition to be submitted annually for all shipments rather than submission of a petition for each individual shipment forty 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 was 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>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. EPA intended to revise this rule to address issues regarding quantification of emissions reductions that can be traded among parties and how such trading should occur. The Agency now believes this action is no longer necessary because the existing 1993 rule can accommodate issues related to emissions trading.]]></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 addressed 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. This potential overlap problem is now moot, since the NOx Budget Program and potentially duplicative Section 126 Rule requirements were superseded by the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) in 2005. Although the D.C. Circuit has remanded the CAIR rule, it remains in effect at this time, and EPA is currently engaged in responding to that remand.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Work Practice for Leak Detection and Repair</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended 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 previously existing rule required 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 has been developed which can detect leaks at reduced costs because of the ability to monitor multiple components at one time. This rule amended the existing regulations to enable the plant operators to use the new technology.]]></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% 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>Identifying Potentially Inadequate Monitoring in Clean Air Act Applicable Requirements and Methods To Improve Such Monitoring</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering improvements to existing emissions monitoring provisions in Federal standards and State Implementation Plan rules. In particular, in this ANPRM, EPA requested comments on existing monitoring requirements in NSPS under 40 CFR part 60 and NESHAP under 40 CFR part 61 that were promulgated prior to the 1990 Amendments to the Act. This ANPRM was published in order to seek public comment suggesting specific ways to improve such monitoring. Comments received will enable EPA to better evaluate whether and where inadequate monitoring exists and to determine how to craft any necessary improvements. No further action will be taken under this entry. Any further action will be listed as a separate rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule finalizes EPA's reconsideration of this issue arising from our final rules of December 31, 2002. EPA is currently considering a February 17, 2009 petition for reconsideration from the Natural Resources Defense Council.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action updated, consolidated, and harmonized air emission reporting requirements from the Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule (CERR) and the NOx SIP Call. The purpose of this action was to resolve differences in the reporting requirements in each of these 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 resolved these differences.]]></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. 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. This entry refers only to that ANPRM, which has been completed, so this entry is being withdrawn from the Regulatory Agenda. Further work on these source categories is being done under two other entries in this Regulatory Agenda. See RIN 2060-AO91 and RIN 2060-AO92.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration:  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. This rulemaking, which is being withdrawn, would have revised the methodology used to calculate increments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is called Risk and Technology Review (RTR) Group 1. It addressed 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>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 had planned 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. However, EPA now believes that this concern will be better addressed through other on going actions within the agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action announced the Administrator's determinations under section 183(e) for 5 categories of consumer and commercial products that Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs) are substantially as effective as national rules for these categories. These determinations were made based on considerations affecting VOC emission reductions in ozone nonattainment areas. The proposal solicited comments on the proposed determinations and announced availability of draft CTGs for each of the product categories. The final notice finalized the determinations and announced availability of final CTGs covering these categories. NOTE: This action now includes the Misc Industrial Adhesives category formerly tracked under RIN 2060-AP02.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Compliance Deadline for Air Emission Testing Bodies (AETBs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 24, 2008, final amendments to 40 CFR part 75 on competency requirements for air emission testing bodies (AETBs) was published in the Federal Register (See 73 FR 4365, 4367, and 4372). The AETB provision generally requires stack testers and stack testing companies to meet certain minimum competency requirements described in ASTM D 7036 by January 1, 2009. On March 25, 2008, the Utility Air Regulatory Group (UARG) filed a Petition for Review primarily claiming that EPA could not by the AETB requirement hold utilities responsible for something they cannot control. This action responds to that petition for review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Findings of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking on Section 126 Petitions for Purposes of Reducing Interstate Ozone Transport</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 25, 1999 (64 FR 28250), EPA issued a final rule entitled "Findings of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking on section 126 Petitions for Purposes of Reducing Interstate Ozone Transport," usually referred to as the "Section-126 rule." This rule was a response to petitions from several states asking EPA to take Federal action to address the problem of air pollution coming from upwind states. Since this rule did not include a no-significant-impact certification under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, it normally would be a candidate for the RFA-required review 10 years after promulgation. However, this rule had no actual impact on any entities, since it specified that its prescribed upwind-pollution remedies could be fulfilled by State actions under a previous EPA rule entitled "Finding of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for Certain States in the Ozone Transport Assessment Group Region for Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of Ozone," usually referred to as the "NOx SIP Call," which was promulgated on October 27, 1998 (63 FR 57355). Subsequently, the States did in fact comply with the NOx SIP Call rule, thereby nullifying any effect of the Section-126 rule. Therefore the Section-126 rule has had, and will have, no impacts on any entities, including small entities, thereby obviating the need for a 10-year review under the RFA. In light of this fact, EPA is, through this notice, documenting the Section-126 rule's lack of impact, and announcing that the 10-year review has been completed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6(e)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) prohibits, among other activities, the distribution in commerce and use of PCBs in a manner other than in a totally enclosed manner, unless the Administrator authorizes such activity by rule. To make such an authorization, the Administrator must find that the activity will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. EPA is reevaluating its TSCA PCB use and distribution in commerce regulations, 40 CFR subparts B and C, to address: (1) the use, distribution in commerce, marking and storage for reuse of liquid PCBs in equipment (2) the use of air, gas and liquid pipelines and transmission systems containing or contaminated with PCBs, (3) the use of non-liquid PCBs in carbonless copy paper, and (4) the use and distribution in commerce of PCBs in porous surfaces. EPA is also reevaluating certain definitions in 40 CFR section 761.3. EPA intends to solicit written comments on these and other areas of the PCB use regulations. EPA will not solicit comments on the PCB disposal regulations as part of this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proceeding was initiated in response to a citizen's petition filed in June 2007 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 advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) that solicits public comment on several testing issues prior to the issuance of any proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Expansion of Crop Grouping Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. The first revision in a series of revisions to the crop grouping regulations was finalized in December 2007. In 2009 the revisions to the crop grouping regulations will be to create a new crop group and amend three other crop groups.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Determination of Status of Prions as Pests</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2004, the Agency stated that it considered prions (proteinaceous infectious particles) to be a "pest" under FIFRA. A product intended to inactivate, destroy or mitigate prions on inanimate surfaces (i.e., prion product) is considered to be a pesticide. Any company seeking to distribute or sell such a product is required to register the product with EPA before it can be distributed or sold in the United States. Through this action, EPA is considering expressly adding prions to the list of pests in 40 CFR part 152, and requirements related to product performance (i.e., efficacy data), which is required for each antimicrobial end-use product for which public health related claims are made. EPA believes that regulating prion products will protect human health and the environment against unreasonable adverse effects and ensure that such products are effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA Inventory Update Reporting Modifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) rule enables EPA to procure basic information on commercial chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), resulting in a unique database that includes current production volume, manufacturing site-related data, and processing and use-related data for larger volume chemicals. This broad-based collection of manufacturing and use-exposure-related data provides basic information needed for risk prevention and management activities. The recent 2006 IUR submission period was the first since major amendments to the IUR were promulgated in 2003; for the next reporting in 2011, the IUR Modifications will make a variety of adjustments. The adjustments are expected to include: migration of the IUR from 40 CFR 710 to 711, somewhat minor changes to data reporting requirements, possible changes to exemptions for certain chemical substances, and technical corrections. In addition, the workgroup will consider changes associated with the reporting of recycled chemical substances and imported chemical substances.]]></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. 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 definitive guidance concerning the procedures regarding transfer of ownership, this issue has not been addressed in a clear and consistent manner. Furthermore, it is not always clear when the transferee is liable under the Act to the same extent as the transferor. Therefore, to clarify these issues, EPA is considering whether to adopt a rule to accomplish several purposes: (1) to provide a clear procedural mechanism to address such transfers; (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 thereby allowing the Agency to engage in more meaningful compliance monitoring.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule for Elemental Mercury in Flow Meters, Manometers, and Pyrometers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Elemental mercury has been used in many industrial and consumer applications, due to its unique properties. Certain uses of elemental mercury can lead to releases to the environment during manufacturing, recycling, or disposal. Under certain conditions, mercury in the environment can cause adverse effects in humans and wildlife. Some State governments have restricted certain uses of mercury use and have requested federal action to bolster these efforts. In 2006, EPA committed to pursue reductions in mercury used in switches, relays, and measuring devices. In 2007, EPA issued a Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) for elemental mercury used in certain switches previously installed in motor vehicles. EPA has now identified three more discontinued uses of mercury that have cost-effective alternatives. The discontinued uses of mercury are in flow meters, manometers on oil and gas pipelines, and pyrometers. The SNUR would require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacture or processing of mercury for these three uses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will make several minor, technical amendments to the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program to enable OPPTS and the Regions to implement the program effectively. The amendments include correcting the regulatory text to require training providers to submit information on successful renovator and dust sampling technician trainees (including digital photographs) to EPA and correcting the regulatory text to eliminate the requirement that training providers submit digital photographs of successful lead-based paint activities trainees (inspectors, risk assessors, abatement workers/supervisors, project designers) to EPA. These amendments will also insert clarifying language into the regulatory text with respect to hands-on training requirements and the grandfathering of previously-trained individuals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Testing of Certain High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing 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 in 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. A second test rule published in 2008 for 19 chemicals, is expected to be finalized in late 2009. Subsequent test rules, including a third proposed rule scheduled to publish in 2009 are expected to propose similar screening level testing for additional unsponsored HPV Challenge Program chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs) [DECA]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 25, 1991, 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 and the declining market for these chemicals have eliminated the need for additional data on four of the five BFRs. EPA still needs biodegradation and environmental fate data on decabromodiphenyl ether and is pursuing that data through the enforceable consent agreement (ECA) process. Efforts to finalize the test rule are suspended pending the outcome of the ECA process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP); Policy and Procedures for Initial Screening</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. EDSP consists of three major parts developed in parallel:

1) Assay validation. Under FFDCA section 408(p), EPA is required to use appropriate validated test systems and other scientifically relevant information to determine whether substances may have estrogenic effects in humans or other endocrine effects as the Administrator may designate. On March 25-27, 2008, the FIFRA Science Advisory Panel (SAP) reviewed the Agency's proposed EDSP Tier 1 screening battery, and in a report dated June 11, 2008, the SAP recommended that the Agency proceed with Tier 1 screening using the proposed battery.  At this moment, validation is complete for all but one of the Tier 1 assays that were included in the proposed Tier 1 screening battery (i.e., ER Binding). The ER Binding assay is expected to complete the validation process in April 2009. The final Tier 1 battery will be announced in a separate Federal Register document that the Agency anticipates issuing in spring 2009. Efforts to validate the Tier 2 tests are underway.

2) Priority setting. EPA described its priority setting approach to select pesticide chemicals for initial screening on September 27, 2005 (70 FR 56449), and announced the draft list of initial pesticide active ingredients and pesticide inerts to be considered for screening under FFDCA on June 18, 2007 (72 FR 33486).  After considering public comment, EPA issued the final list of 67 pesticide active ingredients and high production volume (HPV) pesticide inert chemicals for initial screening on April 15, 2009 (74 FR 17579).

3) Procedures.  On December 13, 2007 (72 FR 70842), EPA published a draft document in the Federal Register that described the policies and procedures EPA generally intended to adopt for initial screening of chemicals under EDSP.  Following review and revision based on the public comments, on April 15, 2009 (74 FR 17560), EPA described the specific details of the policies and procedures that EPA generally intends to adopt for initial screening under the EDSP, including the statutory requirements associated with and format of the test orders, as well as EPAs procedures for fair and equitable sharing of test costs and handling confidential data.

        <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>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>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 section 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 has sought public comment through a clarification proposed in the Federal Register on draft interpretation in this area to ensure that the necessary clarity is provided. EPA intends to complete this activity with a Final notice in late 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Premanufacture Notification Exemptions; Revisions of Exemptions for Certain 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>Significant New Use Rule (SNUR); Chemical-Specific SNURs To Extend Provisions of Section 5(e) Orders</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." After considering all relevant factors, including those listed in TSCA section 5(a)(2), EPA makes this determination by promulgating Significant New Use Rules (SNURs). These regulations require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process a chemical substance contained in a SNUR for an activity that is designated as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it occurs. For chemicals which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and for which EPA made a determination that the manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal may present an unreasonable risk, the Agency may issue a section 5(e) consent order to limit these activities. The Agency generally issues 5(e) SNURs to extend the controls prescribed in these consent orders to other manufacturers and processors by designating the manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal of the substances without the specified controls as significant new uses. For chemicals which were the subject of PMNs, EPA may also promulgate "non-5(e) SNURs" when the Agency did not find that the chemicals manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal, as described in the PMN, triggered the determinations set forth under TSCA section 5(e) but did find that certain changes in the chemicals manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal could result in increased exposures to or releases of the substance. Under the Expedited Follow-up Rule (EFUR), 40 CFR part 721, subpart D, EPA routinely issues batch direct final section 5(e) and non-5(e) SNURs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 reopened the comment period in 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead Fishing Sinkers; Response to Citizens Petition and Proposed Ban</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1991, EPA issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking in response to a citizen's petition filed by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Federation of Fly Fishers, Trumpeter Swan Society, and North American Loon Fund under section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The petition asked EPA 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. In 1994, EPA 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 1994 proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticide Agricultural Container Recycling Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering proposing a regulation that would require certain pesticide registrants to recycle certain plastic pesticide containers. As contemplated, registrants who sell agricultural and professional specialty pesticides in rigid, nonrefillable high density polyethylene (HDPE) containers (with capacities of 55 gallons or less) would have to recycle, each year, a quantity of HDPE equivalent to a specified percentage (20, 30 or 40 percent or more) of the weight of all rigid nonrefillable HDPE containers used for their pesticide products during the previous calendar year. If promulgated, pesticide container recycling programs subject to the rule may be required to meet the American National Standards Institute and American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers Standard S569 for "Recycling Plastic Containers from Pesticides and Pesticide-Related Products." The proposed regulation would be intended to protect human health and the environment by reducing the risk of unreasonable adverse effects to public health and the environment that may be associated with the improper disposal of certain nonrefillable pesticide containers and their associated residues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is updating and revising its pesticide data requirements for antimicrobial pesticide products. This action will revise the existing data requirements to reflect current regulatory and scientific standards. The data requirements will cover all scientific disciplines for antimicrobial pesticides, including product chemistry and residue chemistry, toxicology, and environmental fate and effects. In general, pesticide data requirements are codified in 40 CFR part 158, which describes the minimum data and information EPA typically requires to support an application for pesticide registration or amendment; support the reregistration of a pesticide product; support the maintenance of a pesticide registration by means of the data call-in process, e.g., as used in the registration review program; or establish or maintain a tolerance or exemption from the requirements of a tolerance for a pesticide chemical residue. This part establishes general policies and procedures associated with the submission of data in support of a pesticide regulatory action. It does not, however, include study protocols, methodology, or standards for conducting or reporting test results; nor does this part describe how the Agency uses or evaluates the data and information in its risk assessment and risk management decisions, or the regulatory determinations that may be based upon the data.]]></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. In general, pesticide data requirements are codified in 40 CFR part 158, which describes the minimum data and information EPA typically requires to support an application for pesticide registration or amendment; support the reregistration of a pesticide product; support the maintenance of a pesticide registration by means of the data call-in process, e.g., as used in the registration review program; or establish or maintain a tolerance or exemption from the requirements of a tolerance for a pesticide chemical residue.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will codify invertebrate efficacy data requirements in support of invertebrate pesticide product registrations as mandated by FIFRA. This rulemaking will provide clarity, consistency, and transparency. The pesticide data requirements are codified in 40 CFR part 158, which describes the minimum data and information EPA typically requires to support an application for pesticide registration or amendment; support the reregistration of a pesticide product; support the maintenance of a pesticide registration by means of the data call-in process, e.g., as used in the registration review program; or establish or maintain a tolerance or exemption from the requirements of a tolerance for a pesticide chemical residue. This part establishes general policies and procedures associated with the submission of data in support of a pesticide regulatory action. It does not, however, include study protocols, methodology, or standards for conducting or reporting test results; nor does this part describe how the Agency uses or evaluates the data and information in its risk assessment and risk management decisions, or the regulatory determinations that may be based upon the data.]]></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, prohibited 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. Most recently, the prohibition was extended yet again in 2007 when Congress adopted the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act. In that bill, Congress extended the ban on assessing tolerance fees through September 30, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 regulates PIPs under FIFRA and FFDCA, including issuing experimental use permits and commercial registrations. In 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 record keeping. 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>

        <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 2001. After considering public comment and additional review by the Science Advisory Panel (SAP), EPA issued a reproposal in 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. The possible 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 potential need for changes to the regulation.]]></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 potential 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Registration Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticide Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2001, EPA finalized certain labeling regulations for pesticide products, clarifications regarding the application of FIFRA to nitrogen stabilizers, and regulations that contain statutory provisions excluding certain types of products from regulation of pesticides. These topics were part of the 1999 proposal concerning antimicrobial products, and are being promulgated separately for convenience. In September 1999, EPA proposed procedures for the registration of antimicrobial products, including labeling standards for antimicrobial public health products to ensure that these products are appropriately labeled for the level of antimicrobial activity they demonstrate. EPA also proposed to modify its notification process for antimicrobial products to conform to the statutorily prescribed process; and to exempt certain antimicrobial products from FIFRA regulation. In November 1999, EPA proposed procedures for the registration of antimicrobial pesticides and performance standards for public health antimicrobial pesticides, as well as other changes affecting all pesticide products, including interpretation of new provisions relating to nitrogen stabilizers, and updating and reorganization of human hazard labeling requirements. After considering public comments and an extensive stakeholder dialogue, EPA will determine next steps for this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Reconsideration of Exemptions for Insect Repellents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 15, 2006 the Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) petitioned EPA to modify the Minimum Risk Pesticides exemption under 40 CFR 152.25(f). Specifically, CSPA requested that EPA change section 152.25(f) to exclude from the exemption those pesticides that claim to control pests of significant public health importance and require an abbreviated registration for any products that are to be used for the control of public health pests. The Agency agrees that the concerns have merit. In this action, EPA will explore options, including potential rulemaking, to respond to these concerns.]]></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>

        <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) because current enzyme listings were too broad and did not adequately differentiate between newly developed enzymes and existing Inventory listings. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6(e)(3)(B) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) provides that the Administrator may grant, by rule, exemptions from the prohibitions against manufacturing, processing and distribution in commerce of PCBs upon finding that 1) no unreasonable risk to health or the environment will occur, and 2) good faith efforts have been made by the petitioner to develop a substitute for PCB which does not pose an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This Regulatory Agenda entry is intended to capture petitions that request an exemption to use PCBs. These petitions are managed by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics. Petitions that request an exemption to dispose of PCBs are managed by the Office of Solid Waste, and are captured by a separate Regulatory Agenda entry. Currently, no petitions are pending.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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." After considering all relevant factors, including those listed in TSCA section 5(a)(2), EPA makes this determination by promulgating Significant New Use Rules (SNURs). These regulations require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process a chemical substance contained in a SNUR for an activity that is designated as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it occurs. For chemicals which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs), EPA may promulgate "non-5(e) SNURs" when the Agency did not find that the chemicals manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal, as described in the PMN, triggered the determinations set forth under TSCA section 5(e) but did find that certain changes in the chemicals manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal could result in increased exposures to or releases of the substance. Under the Expedited Follow-up Rule (EFUR), 40 CFR part 721, Subpart D, EPA routinely issues batch direct final section 5(e) and non-5(e) SNURs. This Regulatory Agenda action addresses those chemicals that were subject to a proposed SNUR prior to the effective date of the EFUR or which do not qualify under the EFUR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 a 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) when appropriate, to require reporting by the manufacturers, importers and/or processors of these chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mercury; Regulation of Use in Certain Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Mercury is well-documented as a toxic, environmentally persistent substance that demonstrates the ability to bioaccumulate and to be atmospherically transported on a local, regional, and global scale. In addition, mercury can be environmentally transformed into methylmercury which biomagnifies and is highly toxic. EPA has conducted a preliminary analysis via the Risk-Based Prioritization of Mercury in Certain Products. By compiling data pertaining to the stated costs, advantages, and disadvantages associated with mercury-free alternatives to certain mercury-containing products, EPA made a preliminary judgment that effective and economically feasible alternatives exist. These products include switches, relays/contactors, flame sensors, button cell batteries, and measuring devices (e.g., non-fever thermometers, manometers, barometers, pyrometers, flow meters, and psychrometers/hygrometers). Therefore, EPA is evaluating whether an action (or combination of actions) under TSCA section 6(a) is appropriate for mercury used in such products. As appropriate, such an action(s) would involve a group(s) of these products. Specifically, EPA will determine whether the continued use of mercury in one or more of these products would pose an unreasonable risk to human health and the environment.]]></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>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

These chemicals have been identified by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, other EPA offices, and other Federal agencies, as well as recommended for testing consideration by the Interagency Testing Committee. Manufacturers and importers are required to submit exposure-related data (EPA Form No. 7710-35) on the chemicals. The data will be used to monitor the levels of production, import and/or processing of the identified substances and the avenues of human and environmental exposure to these substances.

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Certain Chemicals on the ATSDR Priority List of Hazardous Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is determining appropriate action on its October 20, 2006 proposal to develop a test rule under section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to require testing for certain chemicals to fulfill data needs identified by the Agency for the Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and that are on the ATSDR/EPA Priority List of Hazardous Substances, which is compiled under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 104(i). The test rule proposed by EPA included a requirement that manufacturers (including importers) and processors of 4 chemical substances (chloroethane, hydrogen cyanide, methylene chloride, and sodium cyanide) conduct testing for certain health effects relating to the manufacture, distribution in commerce, processing, use, or disposal of these substances. The proposal explained that data obtained under the testing program would be used by ATSDR in the development of health assessments of populations living near Superfund sites as well as for assessing residual risks under section 112(f) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) after maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards have been imposed under section 112(d) of the CAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Testing for Existing Chemicals (Overview Entry for Future Needs)</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 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. In developing ECAs or VTAs EPA may 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 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>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). Among other things, 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. The primary purpose of the testing proposed in this rule is to assist EPA's Office of Air and Radiation by requiring data to be developed under TSCA section 4 that could be applied to a determination of residual risk for the subject chemicals. In some cases, a proposed test rule may prompt voluntary testing. As the need for testing certain chemicals has changed, EPA is considering the need for a reproposal.]]></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>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 is considering whether 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>Testing Agreement for Aryl Phosphates (ITC List 2)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA published a proposed TSCA section 4 test rule in 1992 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 US 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 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 potential overlap testing. EPA plans to evaluate the completion of the industry's commitments under the HPV Challenge Program in FY09. After that review, EPA will evaluate the need for any additional testing of the subject aryl phosphate base stocks under an ECA or rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Formaldehyde Emissions From Pressed Wood Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition filed under TSCA section 21, EPA has initiated a proceeding to investigate risks posed by formaldehyde emitted from pressed wood products. As indicated in that response, EPA issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 3, 2008. The ANPRM process sought to engage stakeholders to contribute to obtaining a better understanding of the available control technologies and approaches, industry practices, and the implementation of California's regulations. EPA also plans to conduct an industry survey and initiate development of an exposure assessment and an irritation hazard characterization that could be used for evaluating emissions standards or other approaches. Subsequently, EPA plans to develop an irritation risk assessment and will analyze potential costs and benefits. At the conclusion of this work, EPA's Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) anticipates determining whether it should take action, which may include action under TSCA, or through other approaches. As OPPTS evaluates risks and options under TSCA, OPPTS intends to coordinate its efforts with other interested EPA offices and agencies, as well as engage the public and stakeholders.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA Section 13 Amendment: Electronic Reporting of TSCA Chemical Import Data in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OPPTS will consult with Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in the Department of Homeland Security, regarding promulgation of regulations by CBP to require electronic reporting in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) of the TSCA certification statement and chemical identification data needed to verify the legality of importation of chemical substances subject to TSCA. ACE is a data base being designed by CBP that will serve as a single portal for the electronic collection and processing of all data required by any federal agency pertaining to the importation of commodities into, and their exportation from, the U.S. CBP will test the electronic collection of such data in ACE under the National Customs Automation Program (19 U.S.C. 1411; 19 CFR 101.9). Subsequently, the TSCA section 13 regulations (19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127, and 127.28) would be amended to require electronic reporting by importers into ACE of TSCA certification statements among potentially other data (e.g., certain chemical identification data) needed to facilitate the verification of the legality of imports shipments comprised of chemical substances subject to TSCA. Other amendments to the regulations (e.g., relating to detention of shipments) may also result from the review. TSCA section 13 regulations are promulgated by CBP, in consultation with EPA. Congress has mandated participation in the International Trade Data System (ITDS) through passage of the SAFE Port Act in October 2006. The ITDS Program is a government-wide program managed by CBP to assist every federal agency that has import/export responsibilities to integrate their requirements into ACE. Participation in the ITDS Program has also been recommended by the Import Safety Working Group (ISWG), established under Executive Order No. 13439 (July 18, 2007). The TSCA program is one of six EPA programs whose import requirements are being integrated into ACE.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As specified in section 402(a)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA must establish and implement a fee schedule to recover for the U.S. Treasury the Agency's cost of administering and enforcing the standards and requirements applicable to lead-based paint training programs and contractors engaged in lead-based paint activities. Specifically, this rule proposes to establish fees to be charged in those States and Indian country without authorized programs, for training programs seeking accreditation under 40 CFR 745.225 and for individuals or firms engaged in lead-based paint activities seeking certification under 40 CFR 745.226. EPA's Federal lead program will establish fees for training programs and firms covered under the 2008 Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule and the fees will be updated (based on current economics) for training programs, firms and individuals covered under the accreditation and certification programs for lead-based paint activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule (SNUR); Selected Flame Retardant Chemical Substances for Use in Residential Upholstered Furniture</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 4, 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (73 FR 11702) on a new mandatory standard to address residential upholstered furniture fires. In a pre-publication press release, CPSC stated that under the proposal, manufacturers could meet the performance standard by using smolder-resistant cover fabrics or interior fire resistant barriers to protect the furnitures internal filling material, which is the primary fuel in an upholstered furniture fire. CPSCs objective is to reduce the fire risk in upholstered furniture without requiring the use of fire retardant chemical additives. Manufacturers will not be required to use chemicals to meet the proposed standard. In its environmental assessment, CPSC staff projects most manufacturers and importers would likely choose options that do not involve fire-retardants in fabrics or filling materials. Therefore, EPA has decided that there is no longer a need to continue work on this Significant New Use 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 of the pilot. 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 and decisions have been made on whether additional data are needed for 13 of the 15, with 2 more chemicals pending. Information on VCCEP and the chemical assessments submitted to date are available to the public on the Agency's Web site. 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. With the pilot nearing completion, EPA intends to remove this entry from the Agenda.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 sections 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), in the administration of section 211 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), requested that the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) work with OAR to potentially solicit interested parties to develop an Enforceable Consent Agreement (ECA) under section 4 of TSCA to obtain health effects data on a number of Oxygenated Fuel Additives (OFAs). Since there has been no activity and no further needs identified by OAR at this time, this action is being withdrawn.]]></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 may 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. At this time, all MOUs and ECAs are complete.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs). Although EPA will not be pursuing further development of a separate ECA for diethanolamine at this time, this chemical will remain included as part of the original proposed test rule, which is identified separately under RIN 2070-AC76.]]></ABSTRACT>

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since 2000, the National Environmental Performance Track Program has been an important vehicle through which EPA has recognized and encouraged environmental stewardship. At its peak, Performance Track had over 500 members from 49 states. At this point in time, the Agency is halting the Program, evaluating its achievements and looking at opportunities for improvements. Consequently EPA is withdrawing this action to reconsider its structure and approach.]]></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 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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has solicited comment on the appropriate regulatory treatment of financial agreements commonly referred to as event contracts.  Event contracts may be based on eventualities and measures that neither derive from nor correlate to market prices or broad economic or commercial measures.  The Commissions staff has received a substantial number of requests for guidance on the propriety of trading various event contracts under the regulatory rubric of the Commodity Exchange Act.  Given the substantive and practical concerns that may arise from applying federal regulation to event contracts and markets, the Commission believes that it is appropriate to consider the publics comments in advance of issuing any definitive guidance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Retail Off-Exchange Forex Transaction Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (the "Farm Bill") was enacted June 18, 2008.  Within the Farm Bill are several amendments to the Commodity Exchange Act concerning off-exchange retail foreign currency ("forex") transactions.  Among other things, the legislation creates a new category of Commission registrant known as a "retail foreign exchange dealer" ("RFED"), provides financial requirements for futures commission merchants and RFEDs who act as counterparties in retail forex transactions, and limits the intermediation of such transactions to registered commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors and introducing brokers.  A proposed rulemaking will provide for the new category of registrant and for regulations concerning registration, maintenance of books and records, anti-fraud, risk-disclosure, supervisory and financial requirements.  The proposed rules will also conform those sections of existing regulations that apply to registrants but do not currently include the new category of registrant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is proposing several amendments to enhance its ability to administer the Commodity Exchange Act (Act) with respect to registered entities.  In addition to clarifying and technical amendments, the proposed amendments would require the filing of agreements transferring equity interests of 10 percent or more in designated contract markets (DCM) with the Commission and subsequent certifications that subject DCMs continue to comply with the designation criteria and core principles of the Act. The proposed amendments also would require registered entities to provide notice of legal proceedings that may impact a product's trading and explicitly define resolutions and procedures under which emergency actions are taken as exchange rules that may be certified prior to implementation.]]></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 2007. The NPRM sought 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 agencies are conducting further consumer research based on comments received. The comments will be considered by all the GLB Act agencies before adopting a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oversight of Trading on Regulated Commodity Futures and Options Exchanges and Exempt Commercial Markets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 18, 2008, Congress passed the CFTC Reauthorization Act of 2008, as part of the "Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008."  This legislation adds, among other provisions, new section 2(h)(7) to the Commodity Exchange Act, which is intended to increase Federal oversight and regulation of exempt commercial markets (ECMs) in order to better detect and prevent manipulation that might affect the prices that customers, farmers, and businesses pay for energy.  The legislation accordingly creates new obligations for ECMs, and parallel new authorities for the Commission, when ECMs list contracts that the Commission determines to be significant price discovery contracts.  The legislation requires that the Commission issue proposed regulations implementing new section 2(h)(7) no later than 180 days from enactment of the legislation.  These regulations will, among other things, (1) establish procedures and develop standards under which the Commission will determine whether a contract serves a significant price discovery function; (2) delineate a timetable and procedure under which an ECM with a significant price discovery contract must come into compliance with newly applicable core principles; and (3) offer guidance with respect to acceptable practices for compliance with the core principles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is proposing to revise its regulations to clarify certain periodic and annual reporting requirements applicable to commodity pool operators.  The amendments would extend the time period for filing and distributing annual reports of commodity pools that invest in other funds, codify existing Commission staff interpretations regarding the proper accounting treatment and financial statement presentation of certain income and expense items in the periodic account statements and annual reports, streamline annual reporting requirements for pools ceasing operation, codify exemptions staff has provided to CPOs that operate offshore funds that elected to use non-United States GAAP in the preparation of pool financial statements, and clarify and update several other requirements for periodic and annual reports prepared and distributed by CPOs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 1, 2002, the Commission reassigned the responsibilities of the former Division of Trading and Markets and Division of Economic Analysis to the newly established Division of Clearing and Intermediary Oversight, Division of Market Oversight and Office of the Chief Economist.  On October 7, 2002, the Commission amended several of its rules in Chapter I of title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the reassignment of responsibilities, including delegations of authority, resulting from a reorganization of its staff.  The Commission inadvertently failed to include delegation authority to the Chief Economist in the Office of the Chief Economist.  This rule corrects the omission.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission is directed to assess the effectiveness of applicable voluntary standards and, in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act, promulgate consumer product safety standards that are substantially the same as the voluntary standard or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission determines that more stringent standards would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product.  The CPSIA requires that not later than August 14, 2009, the Commission begin rulemaking for at least two categories of durable infant or toddler products and promulgate two such standards every 6 months thereafter.  The Commission will start the section 104 rulemakings with baby walkers (and bath seats).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.  In January, 2006, the staff sent a briefing package containing a revised draft standard and describing regulatory options to the Commission and provided follow-up status reports on various technical research efforts in November 2006 and December 2006.  The staff forwarded another options package to the Commission in November 2007.  The Commission voted to propose a rule based on the 2007 draft standard.  The Commission's proposed standard would not require FR chemicals in fabrics or fillings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inaccessible Component Parts in Children&apos;s Products Containing Lead</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 101(b)(2)(B) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), requires the Commission to promulgate a rule providing guidance with respect to what components, or classes of components, of children's products will be considered to be inaccessible.  The CPSIA directs the Commission to promulgate the rule by August 14, 2009. On January 15, 2009, the Commission published a notice of proposed interpretative rule providing guidance on with respect to what product components or classes of components will be considered to be inaccessible under section 101(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314. The proposed interpretative rule stated that a lead-containing component part would be evaluated on the accessibility of lead-containing component parts of a childrens product as a result of normal and reasonably foreseeable use and abuse of the product by children based on: accessibility probes specified for sharp points or edges under the Commissions regulations at 16 CFR 1500.48-1500.49; and the use and abuse tests set forth under the Commissions regulations at 16 CFR 1500.50-1500.53 (excluding the bite tests of 1500.51(c) and 1500.52(c)) Children's Products Containing Lead: Exemption for Certain Electronic Devices; Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The notice solicited comments on proposed interpretative rule by February 17, 2008. The Commission staff will review public comments on the proposed rule and prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 15, 2009, the Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) concerning exemptions for certain childrens electronic devices unable to meet the lead limits prescribed in section 101(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314 due to technological infeasibility.  On February 12, 2009, the Commission published a notice of withdrawal of the notice of proposed rulemaking on Childrens Products Containing Lead; Exemptions for Certain Electronic Devices issued on January 15, 2009, 74 FR 2435.  The Commission instead published an interim final rule on exemptions for certain electronic devices on February 12, 2009. The interim final rule addressed certain electronic devices for which it is not technologically feasible to meet the lead limits as required under section 101 of the CPSIA. The comment period closing date on the interim final rule is March 16, 2009.  The Commission staff will review public comments on the interim final rule and prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Safety Regulations for Cribs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 16, 1996, the Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin a proceeding that could result in amendment of the safety regulations for full-size and non-full-size cribs, 16 CFR parts 1508 and 1509. Among the regulatory alternatives under consideration is amendment of the regulations to add tests to assure that slats will not disengage from the side panels of cribs. The Commission began this proceeding after considering information about incidents in which crib slats disengaged from the side panels of cribs, creating a risk that children may become entrapped between the remaining slats or fall out of the crib. At the urging of CPSC staff, in April 1999, the voluntary standard for cribs designated, "Specification for Full Size Baby Cribs (ASTM F1169-99)," and published by ASTM International was revised to include performance requirements for crib slats. CPSC staff is currently assessing the adequacy of and conformance with the voluntary standard.  This issue will be addressed as part of the rulemaking on Options to Address Crib Safety Hazards (RIN 3041-AC 57).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is considering whether certain portable bed rails present an unreasonable risk of injury that should be regulated. A portable bed rail is a device intended to be installed on an adult bed to prevent a child from falling out of the bed. Such bed rails may be constructed in a manner that allows children to become entrapped between the portable bed rail and the bed. This entrapment can result in serious injury or death. 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. Commission staff is considering the impact of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 on this activity.]]></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. Commission staff is considering the impact of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 on this activity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition CP 03-1/HP 03-1 Requesting a Standard for Bunk Bed Corner Posts</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 beyond labeling to address strangulation hazards with vertical protrusions.  A revised standard was approved on July 15, 2007.  Staff will evaluate the adequacy of and conformance to the revised standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In November 2001, a petition from the Lighter Association, Inc. requested that the Commission issue a rule to adopt an ASTM International voluntary safety standard for cigarette lighters. In November 2004, the Commission voted to grant the petition and initiate a rulemaking proceeding.  An advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published in April 2005 and the comment period closed on June 10, 2005.  Staff completed monitoring conformance of lighters with the voluntary standard, and sent a status report to the Commission for consideration in October 2006.  On January 23, 2008, staff provided a review of applicable law, decision factors, and pertinent information to assist the Commission in considering whether to formally rely upon the voluntary standard for cigarette lighters.  The Commission did not agree on this approach.]]></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 has reviewed public comments received on the ANPRM and is considering how information that is being derived from implementation of the new open flame mattress standard impacts bedclothes flammability. Staff will prepare a decision package for Commission consideration.]]></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.  A research project examining the criteria for self-sustained smoldering began in late 2006 and is ongoing.  The results from this research project will help staff respond to issues raised in the public comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>All-Terrain Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 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 conducted research as directed by the Commission in its vote on July 12, 2006.  On February 13, 2008, staff sent a report to the Commissioners summarizing the status of the staff's research activities. A second status report summarizing completion of the staff's research activities will be sent to the Commission. Commission staff is considering the impact of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 on this activity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Portable Generators</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 5, 2006, the Commission voted 2-0 to issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) concerning portable generators.  The ANPRM discusses regulatory options that could reduce portable generator-related deaths and injuries, particularly those related to carbon monoxide poisoning. The ANPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 12, 2006.  Staff reviewed public comments and is conducting technical activities. In FY 2006, staff awarded a contract to develop a prototype generator engine with reduced CO in the exhaust and entered into an interagency agreement (IAG) with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to model the buildup and concentration of CO in various locations.  NIST will also verify the efficacy of the prototype generator in reducing the CO emission rate to survivable conditions in the house when the generator is operated in a garage.  In addition, staff conducted a proof-of-concept demonstration of a remote CO sensing automatic shutoff device for a portable generator, as well as an interlock concept in which a CO sensor was located on the generator.  The results of these efforts, in conjunction with other ongoing staff activities on the portable generator project, will be used in the development of a briefing package for Commission consideration as to whether to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Options for Infant Pillows</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 13, 2006, the Commission voted 3-0 to grant a petition requesting that the Commission amend the ban on infant pillows under 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(16)(i).  The staff prepared a draft advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning infant pillows to initiate a rulemaking proceeding under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) to identify the product and the risk of injury associated with infant pillows, summarize regulatory alternatives, and invite comments from the public. On September 27, 2006, the Commission issued the ANPRM.  Staff reviewed public comments and prepared an options briefing package for Commission consideration.  On February 1, 2008, the Commission voted 2-0 to exempt certain nursing pillows from the ban on infant pillows and to terminate rulemaking.  On August 15, 2008, staff sent draft Federal Register Notices to the Commission.  On August 25, 2008, the Commission voted 2-0 to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) which grants a proposed exemption for the Boston Billow Nursing Pillow and substantially similar nursing pillows.  The Commission voted further to issue a notice terminating the currently pending rulemaking on infant cushions/pillows other than with respect to the Boston Billow Nursing Pillow and substantially similar nursing pillows. The NPRM and the Termination of Rulemaking were published in the Federal Register on September 3, 2008. Staff reviewed public comments on the NPRM and, on November 25, 2008, forwarded an options package to the Commission for consideration. On December 10, 2008, the Commission voted 2-0 to issue a final rule exempting the Boston Billows Nursing Pillow and substantially similar nursing pillows from classification as a banned hazardous substance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), at section 14 as amended by section 102(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, requires that, for products manufactured on or after November 12, 2008,  manufacturers (including importers) and private labelers of the products test and certify that the products comply with all applicable CPSA consumer product safety rules and similar rules, bans, standards and regulations under any other laws administered by the Commission by issuing a certificate that accompanies the product and can be furnished to certain parties.  Section 14(a)(4) of the CPSA gives the Commission the authority where there is more than one manufacturer, importer, or private labeler to designate one or more of such entities as the person(s) who shall issue the required certificate and to relieve all others of that responsibility.  By an immediate final rule that became effective on November 18, 2008, the Commission limited the testing and certification requirement to the U.S. importer and, in the case of domestically produced products, the U.S. manufacturer.  The rule also specifies the requirements that an electronic certificate must meet.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2008-019, Authentic Information Technology Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council are seeking comments from both Government and industry on whether the Federal Acquisition Regulation should be revised to include a requirement that contractors selling information technology (IT) products (including computer hardware and software) represent that such products are authentic.  The Councils are also interested in comments regarding contractor liability if IT products sold to the Government, by contractors, are not authentic. Additionally, the Councils are seeking comments on whether contractors who are resellers or distributors of computer hardware and software should represent to the Government that they are authorized by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to sell the information technology products to the Government.  Finally, the Councils invite comments on (1) whether the measures contemplated above should be extended to other items purchased by the Government; and (2) whether the rule should apply when information technology is a component of a system or assembled product. 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[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)  to implement the Governmentwide Enterprise Software Licensing Program, also known as SmartBUY.  This action is necessary to comply with Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-04-08, Maximizing Use of SmartBuy and Avoiding Duplication of Agency Activities with the Presidents 24 E-Gov Initiatives, dated February 25, 2004.  By leveraging the Federal Government Enterprise Software Licensing Program, the Government will achieve the maximum cost savings and favorable terms and conditions for acquiring software and software maintenance.  This rule impacts contracting officers and other acquisition officials responsible for reviewing the terms, conditions, and prices for the acquisition of commercial software and software maintenance. This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was subject to Office of Management and Budget review under section 6 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[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are issuing an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 891 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008.

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2005-036, Definition of Cost or Pricing Data</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are cosponsoring a public meeting to discuss the proposed Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) rule 2005-036 on cost or pricing data. The rule would 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 was not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6 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>

The comment period is reopened for an additional 30 days to provide additional time for interested parties to review and comment on the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. This was not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6 of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993.

L. 110-247), which encourages executive agencies and their contractors, in contracts for the provision, service, or sale of food, to the maximum extent practicable and safe, to donate apparently wholesome excess food to nonprofit organizations that provide assistance to food-insecure people in the United States. This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was subject to Office of Management and Budget review under section 6 of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993.

This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was subject to Office of Management and Budget review under section 6 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[On March 31, 2008, the EEOC published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concerning disparate impact under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. 73 FR 16807, Mar. 31, 2008.  In addition to requesting public comment on the proposed rule, the Commission asked whether regulations should provide more information on the meaning of "reasonable factors other than age" and, if so, what the regulations should say.  After consideration of the public comments, and in light of the Supreme Court decisions in Smith v. City of Jackson, 544 U.S. 228 (2005), and Meacham v. Knolls Atomic Power Lab., 128 S. Ct. 2395 (2008), the Commission believes it is appropriate to issue a new NPRM to address the scope of the RFOA defense.  Accordingly, before finalizing its regulations concerning disparate impact under the ADEA, the Commission intends to publish a new NPRM proposing to amend its regulations concerning "RFOA."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disparate Impact Burden of Proof Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior to the Supreme Courts decision in Smith v. City of Jackson, Commission regulations interpreted the ADEA to require employers to prove that actions that had an age-based disparate impact were justified as a business necessity.  Although the Court, in Smith, agreed with the EEOC that disparate impact claims were cognizable under the ADEA, it held that the defense was not business necessity, but reasonable factors other than age (RFOA).  The Smith Court did not specify who bore the burden of proof on the RFOA defense.  

Accordingly, on March 31, 2008, the Commission issued an NPRM to conform Commission ADEA regulations to Smith, also taking the position that the employer bore the burden of proving the defense.  Subsequently, the Supreme Court held in Meacham v. Atomic Knolls Laboratory, that employers bore the burden of proof.  Thus, the EEOC is revising this regulation to conform to both Smith and Meacham. 

In the March 2008 NPRM, the Commission also asked whether its ADEA regulation should provide more information on the meaning of RFOA and, if so, what the regulations should say.  After consideration of the public comments, and in light of the Supreme Court decisions in Smith and Meacham, the Commission believes it is appropriate to issue a separate NPRM to address the scope of the RFOA defense.  This new NPRM will be titled "Reasonable Factors Other Than Age Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act."]]></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 May 2001, the Commission adopted streamlined procedures for the carrier-to-carrier sale or transfer of customer bases.

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.  

On January 4, 2008, the Commission released an Order that confirmed that a LEC that is executing a carrier change on behalf of another carrier may not re-verify whether the person listed on the change order is actually authorized to do so.

On January 9, 2008, the Commission released a Fourth Report and Order that modified the slamming rules regarding the content of independent third party verifications of a consumer's intent to switch carriers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishment of Rules Governing Procedures To Be Followed When Informal Complaints Are Filed by Consumers Against Entities Regulated by the Commission (CG Docket No. 02-32)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding seeks comment on proposals to establish a unified, streamlined process for the intake and resolution of informal complaints filed by consumers in order to promote maximum compliance with the requirements of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (the Act) and our implementing rules and orders.

The Commission has previously emphasized that our consumer complaint mechanisms are a principal vehicle for achieving such compliance and promoting the pro-competitive goals underlying the Act and our rules.  We are concerned, however, that our existing complaint mechanisms require consumers to navigate an array of rule provisions and disparate procedures administered by various offices within the Commission in order to file complaints about practices they believe violate the Act or our rules and orders.  Our goal in this proceeding is to consolidate and streamline the consumer complaint mechanisms consumers use when submitting informal complaints to the Commission.

We propose to establish a consumer complaint mechanism patterned after our existing rules for informal complaints filed against common carriers pursuant to section 208 of the Act contained in sections 1.717-1.718 of the Commission's rules.  We also invite comment on whether we should make changes to our existing informal common carrier complaint rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules and Regulations Implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991 (CG Docket No. 02-278)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on September 18, 2002, seeking comment on the rules implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA).  The NPRM 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 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 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 October 14, 2008, the Commission released an Order on Reconsideration addressing certain issues raised in petitions for reconsideration and/or clarification of the Report and Order and Third Order on Reconsideration.

On January 4, 2008, the Commission released a Declaratory Ruling, clarifying that autodialed and prerecorded message calls to wireless numbers that are provided by the called party to a creditor in connection with an existing debt are permissible as calls made with the "prior express consent" of the called party.

Following a December 4, 2007 NPRM, on June 17, 2008, the Commission released a Report and Order amending its rules to require sellers and/or telemarketers to honor registrations with the National Do-Not-Call Registry indefinitely, unless the registration is cancelled by the consumer or the number is removed by the database administrator.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proceeding continues the Commission's inquiry into improving the quality of TRS and furthering the goal of functional equivalency, consistent with Congress' mandate that TRS regulations encourage the use of existing technology and not discourage or impair the development of new technology.  In this docket, the Commission explores ways to improve emergency preparedness for TRS facilities and services, new TRS technologies, public access to information and outreach, and issues related to payments from the Interstate TRS Fund.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules and Regulations Implementing Minimum Customer Account Record Exchange (CARE) 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 (NPRM) 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 (FNPRM), 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.

On December 21, 2007, the Commission released a Report and Order declining to adopt mandatory data exchange requirements between local exchange carriers.]]></ABSTRACT>

It includes an NPRM in which the Commission seeks comment on ways to improve the provision of STS, including, for example, whether to modify the minimum time period a communications assistant should be required to stay on a call, and ways to improve outreach associated with STS.  The Commission also seeks comment on its tentative conclusion that Internet Protocol STS (IP STS) is a form of TRS eligible for compensation from the Interstate TRS Fund, as well as on related issues with respect to the provision, regulation, and compensation of IP STS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Streamlining the Commission&apos;s Rules and Regulations for Satellite Application and Licensing Procedures (IB Docket No. 95-117)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 10, 1997, the FCC adopted rules and policies that streamlined the application and licensing requirements of part 25 of its rules, which deals with communication satellites and earth stations. The streamlined rules waived the construction permit requirement for satellite space stations, changed the license term for temporary fixed earth stations; and adjusted or changed the rules concerning minor modifications and basic requirements for satellite service applications. The streamlined rules also resulted in the creation of a new application form, FCC Form 312. Form 312 eliminated from the International Bureau's use 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.  The Commission addressed the issues in the Petitions for Reconsideration in an Order released on October 10, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establishing Rules and Policies for the Use of Spectrum for Mobile Satellite Service in the L-Band (IB Docket No. 96-132)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has established licensing policies to govern mobile-satellite services (MSS) in the L-band.  Specifically, the Commission has modified the license of Motient Services, Inc. (Motient), the only U.S. MSS system currently authorized to operate in the L-band, to use up to 20 megahertz of spectrum across the entire L-band.  Previously, Motient was authorized only to operate in the upper portion of the L-band.  In addition, the Commission has adopted and incorporated into part 25 of the rules specific operational parameters and technical requirements to ensure the integrity of maritime distress and safety communications service will not be compromised by MSS operation in the lower portion of the L-band.  Petitions for reconsideration were filed.]]></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 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (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>Space Station Licensing Reform (IB Docket No. 02-34)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 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>Mitigation of Orbital Debris (IB Docket No. 02-54)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The ESV Report and Order (R&O) established licensing and service rules for ESVs operating in the 5925-6425 MHz/3700-4200 MHz Bands (C-band) and 14.0-14.5 GHz/11.7-12.2 GHz Bands (Ku-band).  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>Review of the Spectrum Sharing Plan Among Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit Mobile Satellite Service Systems in the 1.6/2.4 GHz Bands (IB Docket No. 02-364)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This docket involves the spectrum sharing plan for the low earth orbit satellite systems in the 1.6 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands (Big LEOs).  In November 2007, the Commission resolved the 1.6 GHz spectrum sharing plan between Globalstar Inc. and Iridium Satellite LLC, whereby Globalstar will have exclusive MSS use of 7.775 megahertz of spectrum at 1610-1617.775 MHz, Iridium will have exclusive MSS use of 7.775 megahertz of spectrum at 1618.725-1626.5 MHz, and the two Big LEO operators will share 0.95 megahertz of spectrum at 1617.775-1618.725 MHz.  Separately, in April 2006, the Commission affirmed the spectrum sharing plan between Globalstar and the fixed and mobile (except aeronautical mobile) services in the 2495-2500 MHz band in order to accommodate the relocation of Broadband Radio Service Channel 1 to the 2496-2502 MHz band. (Iridium does not operate in the 2.4 GHz band.)]]></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>

        <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>Amendment of the Commission&apos;s Rules To Allocate Spectrum and Adopt Service Rules and Procedures To Govern the Use of Vehicle-Mounted Earth Stations (IB Docket No. 07-101)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission seeks comment on the proposed amendment of parts 2 and 25 of the Commission's rules to allocate spectrum for use with Vehicle-Mounted Earth Stations (VMES) in the Fixed-Satellite Service in the Ku-band uplink at 14.0-14.5 GHz and Ku-band downlink 11.72-12.2 GHz on a primary basis, and in the extended Ku-band downlink at 10.95-11.2 GHz and 11.45-11.7 GHz on a non-protected basis, and to adopt Ku-band VMES licensing and service rules modeled on the FCC's rules for Ku-band Earth Stations on Vessels (ESVs).  The record in this proceeding will provide a basis for Commission action to facilitate introduction of this proposed service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Ancillary terrestrial components (ATC) allow MSS operators to integrate terrestrial services into their satellite networks in order to augment coverage in areas where their satellite signals are largely unavailable due to blocking, by re-using their assigned MSS frequencies. In the Big LEO bands, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) has limited ATC operations to the 1610-1615.5 MHz, 1621.35-1626.5 MHz in the L-band and 2487.5-2493 MHz in the S-band. The Commission seeks comment on expanding the L-band and S-band spectrum in which satellite operator Globalstar, Inc. is authorized to operate ATC. The Commission also seeks comment on what measures would be needed to protect services with which the Mobile-Satellite Service (MSS) shares the S-band.]]></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 Fourteenth 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 6, 1997, the FCC adopted a Report and Order and Second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FCC 97-376) 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 (CS Docket No. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Digital Must Carry (CS Docket No. 98-120)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 Second Report and 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 Third Report and Order and Third Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking adopted in September 2007, the Commission addressed issues concerning the carriage of digital broadcast television signals after the conclusion of the digital television transition.  The Commission adopted rules to ensure that cable subscribers will continue to be able to view broadcast stations after the transition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cable Horizontal and Vertical Ownership Limits (MM Docket No. 92-264)</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 a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.

In the Fourth Report and Order, the Commission set the cable horizontal ownership limit at 30 percent.  In the accompanying Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, comment was sought on issues regarding the cable attribution rules and appropriate channel occupancy limits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rulemaking proceeding was initiated to foster the development and implementation of terrestrial digital audio broadcasting (DAB).  The transition to DAB promises the benefits that have generally accompanied digitalization--better audio fidelity, more robust transmission systems, and the possibility of new auxiliary services.  In the First Report and Order, the Commission selected in-band, on-channel as the technology that will permit AM and FM radio broadcasters to introduce digital operations.  Consideration of formal standard-setting procedures and related broadcasting licensing and service rule changes are addressed in a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  Further technical guidance is provided in a Second Report and Order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Second 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 Second Report and 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.  A subsequent 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>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 Report and Order 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 proceeding concerns rules and policies on how commercial television broadcast station licensees provide public interest information to the public.  The NPRM 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.

In the Report and Order, the standardized form is adopted and a requirement is imposed obligating stations to place a portion of its public inspection file on the Internet.]]></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 (NPRM) 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.

In the Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration, the Commission adopts rule changes regarding newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership, but otherwise generally retains the other broadcast ownership rules currently in effect.]]></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 No. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation 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 (NPRM) 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 (FNPRM) seeking comment on how the findings should affect existing franchises.

In the Second Report and Order, a number of the rules promulgated in this docket are extended to incumbent cable operators.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Program Access Rules--Sunset of Exclusive Contracts Prohibition and Examination of Programming Tying Arrangements; (MB Docket Nos. 07-29, 07-198)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The program access provisions of the Communications Act (section 628) generally prohibit exclusive contracts for satellite delivered programming between programmers in which a cable operator has an attributable interest (vertically integrated programmers) and cable operators.  This limitation was set to expire on October 5, 2007, unless circumstances in the video programming marketplace indicate that an extension of the prohibition continues "to be necessary to preserve and protect competition and diversity in the distribution of video programming."  The proceeding undertakes the required review.  The Report and Order concluded the prohibition continues to be necessary, and accordingly, retained it until October 5, 2012.  The accompanying Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) sought comment on revisions to the Commission's program access and retransmission consent rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

</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>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>

        <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[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 solicited 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.

The Report & Order finds that contractual agreements granting exclusivity to cable operators harm competition and broadband deployment.  The Order prohibits the enforcement of exclusivity clauses and the execution of new ones by cable operators.  The accompanying Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeks comment on exclusive clauses by providers of DBS and other MVPDs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Leased Commercial Access (MB Docket No. 07-42)</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 Report and Order modified the leased access rules by modifying the leased access rate formula; adopting customer service obligations and adopting expedited time frames for resolution of complaints.  In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM), comment was sought regarding application of the new rate formula to programmers that predominantly transmit sales presentations or program length commercials.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Creating a Low Power Radio Service (MM Docket NO. 99-25)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding was initiated to establish a new noncommercial educational low power FM radio service for non-profit community organizations and public safety entities.  In January 2000, the Commission adopted a Report and Order establishing two classes of LPFM stations, 100 watt (LP100) and 10 watt (LP10) facilities, with service radii of approximately 3.5 miles and 1-2 miles, respectively.  The Report and Order also established ownership and eligibility rules for the LPFM service.  The Commission generally restricted ownership to entities with no attributable interest in any other broadcast station or other media.  To choose among entities filing mutually exclusive applications for LPFM licenses, the Commission established a point system favoring local ownership and locally-originated programming.   The Report and Order imposed separation requirements for LPFM with respect to full power stations operating on co-, first- and second-adjacent and intermediate frequency (IF) channels.  

In December 2000, legislation was enacted that required the Commission to modify its rules to (i) prescribe LPFM station third-adjacent channel interference protection standards and (ii) prohibit any applicant from obtaining an LPFM station license if the applicant previously has engaged in the unlicensed operation of a station.  In March 2001, the Commission adopted a Second Report and Order implementing this statute.  

In a Further Notice issued in 2005, the Commission reexamined some of its rules governing the LPFM service, noting that the rules may adjustment in order to ensure that the Commission maximizes the value of the LPFM service without harming the interests of full-power FM stations or other Commission licensees.  The Commission sought comment on a number of issues with respect to LPFM ownership restrictions and eligibility.  

The Third Report and Order resolves issues raised in the Further Notice.  The accompanying Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) considers rule changes to avoid the potential loss of LPFM stations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission undertook this proceeding to seek comment on the relationship between the Commission's sponsorship identification rules and the increasing reliance on industry by embedded advertising techniques.  Due to recent technological changes that allow consumers to more easily bypass traditional commercial content, content providers may be turning to more subtle and sophisticated means of incorporating commercial messages into programming.  The NPRM will seek to determine how embedded advertising affects the efficacy of the sponsorship identification rules in protecting the public's right to know who is paying to air commercials or other programming matter on broadcast outlets and cable television systems.]]></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 Rulemaking 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 Second Report and Order and Second Memorandum Opinion and Order responds to two petitions for reconsideration that were filed in response to the Commission's decision to establish regulations for unlicensed UWB operation. It also responds to the rulemaking proposals contained in the Memorandum Opinion and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 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>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 Rulemaking 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 and 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>Transfer of the 3650 Through 3700 MHz Band From Federal Government Use (WT Docket No. 05-96; ET Docket No. 02-380)</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>Broadband Over Power Line Systems </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unlicensed Operation of the 3650-3700 Band (ET Docket 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 Memorandum Opinion and Order, 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 Report and Order, 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 Memorandum Opinion and Order 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 Docket No. 04-186)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted rules to allow unlicensed radio transmitters to operate in the broadcast television spectrum at locations where that spectrum is not being used by licensed services (this unused TV spectrum is often termed "white spaces").  This action will make a significant amount of spectrum available for new and innovative products and services, including broadband data and other services for businesses and consumers.  The actions taken are a conservative first step that includes many safeguards to prevent harmful interference to incumbent communications services.  Moreover, the Commission will closely oversee the development and introduction of these devices to the market and will take whatever actions may be necessary to avoid, and if necessary correct, any interference that may occur.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unlicensed Devices and Equipment Approval (ET Docket No. 03-201) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 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, for example, a "spectrum etiquette," particularly in the 915 MHz band.]]></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>Operation in the 57-64 GHz Band (ET Docket No. 07-133)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 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>

        <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>Commission Rules Concerning Disruptions to Communications </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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. Such authority was subsequently delegated to the Chief of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.  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.

The Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 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.]]></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 (FNPRM) 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>Recommendations of the Independent Panel Reviewing the Impact of Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)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 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.

In the Order released June 8, 2007 (EB Docket No. 06-119 and WC Docket No. 06-63), the Commission directed the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau to implement several of the recommendations made by the Independent Panel.  The Commission also adopted rules requiring some communications providers to have emergency/backup power and requiring certain communications providers to conduct analyses and submit reports on the redundancy and resiliency of their 911 and E911 networks and/or systems.  Finally, the Commission extended limited regulatory relief from Section 272 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, previously accorded by the Wireline Competition Bureau.  

In an Order on Reconsideration released on October 4, 2007, the Commission considered six petitions for reconsideration and/or clarification of the June 2007 Order that adopted the backup power rule (section 12.2 of the Commission's rules).  The Order on Reconsideration granted in part and denied in part the petitions.  The Commission modified the backup power rule to address several meritorious issues raised by petitioners.  This modification will facilitate carrier compliance and reduce the burden on local exchange carriers and commercial mobile radio service providers, while continuing to further important homeland security and public safety goals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Memorandum Opinion and Order and 2nd Report and Order addressed petitions for reconsideration and established technical, service, and licensing rules for Multichannel Video Distribution and Data Service (MVDDS) in the 12 GHz band.  MVDDS will facilitate the delivery of new communications services, such as video and broadband services, to a wide range of populations, including those that are unserved or underserved.  These rules will allow MVDDS licensees to share the 12 GHz band with new operators on a com-primary basis, and non-harmful interference basis with incumbent Direct Broadcast Satellite service providers.]]></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 No. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission seeks comment on whether to assign Educational Broadband Service (EBS) spectrum in the Gulf of Mexico. It also seeks comment on how to license unassigned and available EBS spectrum. Specifically, we seek comment on whether it would be in the public interest to develop a scheme for licensing unassigned EBS spectrum that avoids mutual exclusivity; we ask whether EBS eligible entities could participate fully in a spectrum auction; we seek comment on the use of small business size standards and bidding credits for EBS if we adopt a licensing scheme that could result in mutually exclusive applications; we seek comment on the proper market size and size of spectrum blocks for new EBS licenses; and we seek comment on issuing one license to a State agency designated by the Governor to be the spectrum manager, using frequency coordinators to avoid mutually exclusive EBS applications, as well as other alternative licensing schemes. The Commission must develop a new licensing scheme for EBS in order to achieve the Commission's goal of facilitating the development of new and innovative wireless services for the benefit of students throughout the nation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Service Rules for Advanced Wireless Services in the 2155-2175 MHz Band</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding explores the possible uses of the 2155-2175 MHz frequency band (AWS-3) 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 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) sought comment on what service rules should be adopted in the AWS-3 band. We requested comment on rules for licensing this spectrum in a manner that will permit it to be fully and promptly utilized to bring advanced wireless services to American consumers. Our objective is to allow for the most effective and efficient use of the spectrum in this band, while also encouraging development of robust wireless broadband services. We proposed to apply our flexible, market-oriented rules to the band in order to meet this objective.

Thereafter, the Commission released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM), seeking comment on the Commissions proposed AWS-3 rules, which include adding 5 megahertz of spectrum (2175-80 MHz) to the AWS-3 band, and requiring licensees of that spectrum to provide-using up to 25 percent of its wireless network capacity-free, two-way broadband Internet service at engineered data rates of at least 768 kbps downstream.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules Authorizing the Operation of Low Power Auxiliary Stations in the 698-806 MHz Band, WT Docket No. 08-166; Public Interest Spectrum Coalition, Petition for Rulemaking Regarding Low Power Auxiliary</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order, to facilitate the DTV transition the Commission tentatively concludes to amend its rules to make clear that the operation of low power auxiliary stations within the 700 MHz Band will no longer be permitted after the end of the DTV transition. The Commission also tentatively concludes to prohibit the manufacture, import, sale, offer for sale, or shipment of devices that operate as low power auxiliary stations in the 700 MHz Band. In addition, for those licensees that have obtained authorizations to operate low power auxiliary stations in spectrum that includes the 700 MHz Band beyond the end of the DTV transition, the Commission tentatively concludes that it will modify these licenses so as not to permit such operations in the 700 MHz Band after February 17, 2009. The Commission also seeks comment on issues raised by the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition (PISC) in its informal complaint and petition for rulemaking.  

The Commission also imposes a freeze on the filing of new license applications that seek to operate on any 700 MHz Band frequencies (698- 806 MHz) after the end of the DTV transition, February 17, 2009 as well as on granting any request for equipment authorization of low power auxiliary station devices that would operate in any of the 700 MHz Band frequencies. The Commission also holds in abeyance, until the conclusion of this proceeding, any pending license applications and equipment authorization requests that involve operation of low power auxiliary devices on frequencies in the 700 MHz Band after the end of the DTV transition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administration of the North American Numbering Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Report and Order lays the foundation for the fair and effective administration of numbering in the United States. The Report and Order establishes a model for administration of numbering resources in a competitive environment. In this model, the FCC will set broad policy objectives, be the final arbiter of domestic numbering disputes and work closely with other member countries of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), the States, industry and consumers to ensure fair and effective number administration. The Report and Order creates the North American Number Council (NANC) under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. In the Third Report and Order, released on October 9, 1997, the Commission affirmed the NANC's selection of Lockheed Martin IMS as the new NANP administrator. The NANP administrator is a nongovernmental entity that is not aligned with any particular telecommunications industry segment, and upon selection and following a transition period, assumed Bellcore's current NANP administrator functions and the central office code administration functions currently handled by the dominant local exchange carrier in each area code. The rules were expanded to accommodate the requirements of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. See FCC 96-337, released August 8, 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of N11 Codes and Other Abbreviated Dialing Arrangements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1992, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket 92-105 proposing that local exchange carriers (LECs) be required to make N11 codes available for access to information service providers. In this proposal, LECs could establish any reasonable assignment criteria for such allocation, including "first come, first served." The FCC's General Counsel released a letter indicating it found no regulatory or legal obstacles to assignment of N11 codes for information services. On February 19, 1997, the FCC released a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in that Docket (FCC 97-51), which allows incumbent LECs, in addition to the States and Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), to continue to perform the N11 code administration functions that they performed at the time of enactment of the 1996 Act amendments to the 1934 Act, until further FCC action. The FCC concluded that: (1) 311 should be assigned as a national number for access to non-emergency police calls; (2) 711 should be assigned as a national number for access to telecommunications relay services (TRS); (3) all providers of telephone exchange service must be able to have their customers call 611 and 811 to reach their repair and business service offices; and (4) a LEC may not itself offer enhanced services using a 411 code or any other N11 code, unless that LEC offers access to the code on a reasonable nondiscriminatory basis to competing enhanced service providers in the local service area for which it is using the code to facilitate distribution of their enhanced services. In the FNPRM, the FCC asked for comment on: (1) The technical feasibility of implementing 711 for TRS access; (2) the possibility of developing an N11 gateway offering access to multiple TRS providers; (3) whether with such access, TRS calls would still be answered within mandatory minimum answer times; (4) whether such a gateway would be consistent with section 255; (5) whether other important disability services could be accessed thereby; (6) the possibility of providing both voice and text TRS services through the same abbreviated TRS code; (7) the proprietary nature of N11 codes; and (8) an FCC proposal to transfer administration of N11 codes at the local level from incumbent LECs to the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) administrator. Petitions for reconsideration or clarification on the order have been filed. Comments and replies were filed on March 31 and April 30, 1997, respectively. On June 16, 1999, the Commission released a Public Notice announcing that it would hold a public forum on September 8, 1999, on 711 access to TRS. The goal of the forum was to identify steps that must be taken to implement 711 access to TRS as well as obstacles to implementation and how those obstacles could be resolved.

On August 9, 2000, the Commission released a Second Report and Order (FCC 00-257) that addresses issues related to the deployment of 711 for access to TRS.  The Commission required a nationwide rollout of 711 access to TRS and established an implementation framework.  On July 31, 2000, the Commission released a Third Report and Order (FCC 00-256) that granted the petition of the United Way of America, and others, for nationwide assignment of the 211 abbreviated dialing code for access to community information and referral services.  The Commission also granted the petition of the U.S. Department of Transportation for nationwide assignment of the 511 abbreviated dialing code for access to travel and traffic information.  The Commission further addressed issues raised in petitions for reconsideration of the N11 First Report and Order and resolved outstanding issues from the N11 Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  

On August 29, 2000, the Commission released a Fourth Report and Order and Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket 92-105 and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in WT Docket 00-110 (FCC 00-327) to implement the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999.  The Commission designated 911 as the universal emergency number and sought comment on appropriate transition periods and how the Commission should facilitate States' efforts to deploy comprehensive emergency communications systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Universal Service Portions of the 1996 Telecommunications Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The goals of Universal Service, as mandated by the 1996 Act, are to promote the availability of quality services at just, reasonable, and affordable rates; increase access to advanced telecommunications services throughout the Nation; advance the availability of such services to all consumers, including those in low income, rural, insular, and high-cost areas at rates that are reasonably comparable to those charged in urban areas. In addition, the 1996 Act states that all providers of telecommunications services should contribute to Federal universal service in some equitable and nondiscriminatory manner; there should be specific, predictable, and sufficient Federal and State mechanisms to preserve and advance universal service; all schools, classrooms, health care providers, and libraries should, generally, have access to advanced telecommunications services; and finally, that the Federal-State Joint Board and the Commission should determine those other principles that, consistent with the 1996 Act, are necessary to protect the public interest. 

On April 16, 2007, the Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry, which begins the 5th inquiry under section 706 of the Telecom Act of 96.  The Commission seeks comment on various market, investment, and technological trends in order for the Commission to analyze and assess whether infrastructure capable of supporting advanced services is being made available to all Americans.

On May 14, 2007, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking where it sought comment on the recommendation of the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service (Joint Board) that the Commission take immediate action to rein in the explosive growth in high-cost universal service support disbursements.  The Commission specifically sought comment on the Joint Boards recommendation that the Commission impose an interim, emergency cap on the amount of high-cost support that competitive eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) may receive.  The Joint Board also recommended that both it and the Commission further explore comprehensive high-cost distribution reform, and sought comment on various reform proposals in a Public Notice released on the same day as the Recommended Decision.
  
On August 29, 2007, the Commission issued a Report and Order where the Commission adopted measures to safeguard the Universal Service Fund from waste, fraud, and abuse as well as measures to improve the management, administration, and oversight of the USF. 

On November 19, 2007, the Commission issued an Order where the Commission selected participants for the universal service RHC Pilot Program established by the Commission in the 2006 Pilot Program Order.

On November 20, 2007, the Joint Board on Universal Service issued a Recommended Decision that recommends the FCC address the long-term reform issues facing the high-cost universal service support system and make fundamental revisions in the structure of existing Universal Service mechanisms.

On January 29, 2008, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking where the Commission sought comment on the it's rules governing the amount of high-cost universal service support provided to competitive eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs).

On January 29, 2008, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking where the Commission sought comment on the merits of using reverse auctions (a form of competitive bidding) to determine the amount of high-cost universal service support provided to eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) serving rural, insular, and high-cost areas.

On January 29, 2008, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking where the Commission sought comment on ways to reform the high-cost universal service program.  Specifically, the Commission sought comment on the recommendation of the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service regarding comprehensive reform of high-cost universal service support.

On May 1, 2008, the Commission issued a Public Notice informing the public that the FCC takes action to cap high-cost support under the universal service fund interim cap that will keep costs down for consumers pending comprehensive reform. 

On July 31, 2008, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that sought comment on changes to the eligible services list.  

On September 12, 2008, the Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry where the Commission sought comment on ways to further strengthen management, administration, and oversight of the universal service fund (USF), how to define more clearly the goals of the USF, and to identify any additional quantifiable performance measures that may be necessary or desirable.

On November 5, 2008, the Commission issued an Order on Remand, Report and Order, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that addressed compensation rates for ISP-bound traffic, declines to adopt the Joint Board's recommendations for reforming distribution of high-cost universal service support, and sought further comment on comprehensive universal service and intercarrier compensation reform.]]></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 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 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 April 19, 2001, the Commission initiated a rulemaking to fundamentally re-examine all regulated forms of intercarrier compensation and to test the concept of a unified intercarrier compensation regime (the Intercarrier Compensation Rulemaking).  The Commission sought comment on unified approaches based on both intercarrier payments and alternative approaches, such as "bill and keep."  In the alternative, the Commission requested comment on modifications to the existing intercarrier compensation regimes.

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 3, 2005, the Commission released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Intercarrier Compensation Rulemaking.  The Commission confirmed the need to replace the existing intercarrier compensation rules with a more unified approach and sought comment on seven comprehensive reform proposals submitted by industry members and others, and also on any alternative measures necessary to reform the existing intercarrier compensation regimes.    


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.  

On November 5, 2008, the Commission adopted an Order on Remand, Report and Order, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in several dockets, including the Intercarrier Compensation Rulemaking.  In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking accompanying the Order, the Commission sought comment on three draft reform proposals that were attached as appendices.  Two of the attached proposals addressed comprehensive reform of the existing intercarrier compensation regimes.]]></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 administration.

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 29, 2002, the Commission released an Order on Reconsideration (FCC02-11) 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 that 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 Wireline Competition 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 overlapped with certain issues that the Commission was considering in a separate docket regarding broadband services, the Commission 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. 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 NPRM sought comment on consumer protection obligations applicable to all providers of broadband Internet access service.  The Order does not implicate the rules discussed in the January 30, 1998 FNPRM regarding the provision of access to narrowband transmission associated with dial-up Internet access or other narrowband information services.

While this NPRM proposing to streamline the number of reporting categories for service quality reports remains pending, the Commission has conditionally forborne from applying these requirements and issued a subsequent NPRM.  See Service Quality, Customer Satisfaction, Infrastructure and Operating Data Gathering, WC Docket No. 08-190, 23 FCC Rcd 13647 (2008).  Specifically, the Commission forbore from requiring all carriers currently subject to those requirements to continue to file reports, conditioned on the commitment by those reporting carriers to continue to file publicly for 24 months.  In the subsequent NPRM, the Commission sought comment on its tentative conclusion that collection of certain service quality and customer satisfaction data might be useful to consumers, but only if collected from the entire relevant industry.]]></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 allowing 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>

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>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>

        <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 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.

On November 1, 2007, the Commission gave notice that it granted in part, denied in part, and sought comment on petitions filed by the Voice on the Net Coalition, the United States Telecom Association, and Hamilton Telephone Company seeking a stay or waiver of certain aspects of the Commissions VoIP Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) Order (72 FR 61813; 72 FR 61882).

On December 13, 2007, the Commission announced the effective date of its revised CPNI rules (72 FR 70808). 

On December 6, 2007, OMB approved the public information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for the Commission's CPNI rules (72 FR 72358). 

On February 21, 2008, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that the Commission adopted rules extending local number portability obligations and numbering administration support obligations to interconnected VoIP services.  The Commission also explained it had responded to the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals stay of the Commission's Intermodal Number Portability Order by publishing a Final Regulatory Flexibility Act (73 FR 9463; R&O 02/21/2008).  

On February 21, 2008, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that it sought comment on other changes to its LNP and numbering related rules, including whether to extend such rules to interconnected VoIP providers (73 FR 9507).

        <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>Establishing Just and Reasonable Rates for Local Exchange Carriers (WC Docket No. 07-135)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is examining whether its existing rules governing the setting of tariffed rates by local exchange carriers (LECs) provide incentives and opportunities for carriers to increase access demand endogenously with the result that the tariff rates are no longer just and reasonable.  The Commission tentatively concluded that it must revise its tariff rules so that it can be confident that tariffed rates remain just and reasonable even if a carrier experiences or induces significant increases in access demand.  The Commission seeks comment on the types of activities that are causing the increases in interstate access demand and the effects of such demand increases on the cost structures of LECs.  The Commission also seeks comment on several means of ensuring just and reasonable rates going forward.  The NPRM invites comment on potential traffic stimulation by rate-of-return LECs, price cap LECs, and competitive LECs, as well as other forms of intercarrier traffic stimulation.  Comments were received on December 17, 2007, and reply comments were received on January 16, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Jurisdictional separations is the process, pursuant to part 36 of the Commission's rules, by which incumbent local exchange carriers apportion regulated costs between the intrastate and interstate jurisdictions.  In 1997, the Commission initiated a proceeding seeking comment on the extent to which legislative changes, technological changes, and market changes warrant comprehensive reform of the separations process.  In 2001, the Commission adopted the Federal-State Joint Board on Jurisdictional Separations recommendation to impose an interim freeze of the part 36 category relationships and jurisdictional cost allocation factors for a period of five years, pending comprehensive reform of the part 36 separations rules.  In 2006, the Commission adopted an Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which extended the separations freeze for a period of three years and sought comment on comprehensive reform.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) and Speech-to-Speech Services for Individuals With Hearing and Speech Disabilities, Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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, CC Docket No. 90-571.  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 docket and RIN flow from CC Docket No. 90-571 AND RIN 3060-AG75.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Resale and Roaming Obligations Pertaining to Commercial Mobile Radio Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On an interim basis, the First Report and Order extends to broadband PCS and covered SMR providers the cellular rule that prohibits restricting resale of communications services. The new rules sunset five years after the last group of initial licensees for currently allocated broadband PCS spectrum is awarded. The rules also eliminate all exceptions to the rule that allowed cellular licensees to restrict resale by competing with fully operational cellular licensees in the same geographic market. The Commission successfully adopted a Second Report and Order and Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this proceeding. The Second Report and Order extends the Commission's cellular rules on manual roaming by any individual whose handset is capable of accessing the network of a cellular, broadband PCS, or covered SMR provider. The Third NPRM, among other things, sought comment on whether the Commission should adopt rules requiring cellular, broadband PCS, and covered SMR providers to provide automatic roaming in their coverage areas, and whether both automatic and manual roaming requirements should sunset five years after the initial grant of PCS licenses. The Third MO&O generally affirmed the Commission's earlier decision to extend the cellular resale rule to include certain PCS and SMR providers and to sunset the rule until November 24, 2002. However, it modified the prior decision by removing customer premise equipment (CPE) and CPE in bundled packages from the scope of the resale rule, by revising the scope of the resale rule to exclude all C, D, E, and F block PCS licensees that do not own and control and are not controlled by cellular or A or B block licensees, and by exempting from the rule all SMR and other CMRS providers that do not utilize in-network switching facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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.

This proceeding was terminated in 2007 pursuant to Commission decision in 22 FCC Rcd 19670 (2007).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, Board, FDIC, OTS, NCUA, and FTC (Agencies) request comment to gather information that would assist the Agencies in considering the development of a possible proposed addition to the furnisher accuracy and integrity guidelines which, along with the accompanying regulations, implement the accuracy and integrity provisions in section 312 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act) that amended section 623 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).  This advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) seeks to obtain information that would assist the Agencies in determining whether it would be appropriate to propose an addition to one of the guidelines that would delineate the circumstances under which a furnisher would be expected to provide an account opening date to a consumer reporting agency to promote the integrity of the information.  In addition, the Agencies request comment more broadly on whether furnishers should be expected to provide any other types of information to a consumer reporting agency in order to promote integrity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interest Rate Restrictions on Institutions That Are Less Than Well-Capitalized</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC published its proposed rule to amend its regulations relating to the interest rate restrictions that apply to insured depository institutions that are not well capitalized.  Under the proposed rule, such insured depository institutions generally would be permitted to offer the national rate plus 75 basis points.  The national rate would be defined, for deposits of similar size and maturity, as an average of rates paid by all insured depository institutions and branches for which data are available.  For those cases in which the national rate does not represent the prevailing rate in a particular market, as indicated by available evidence, the depository institution would be permitted to offer the prevailing rate plus 75 basis points.  

The purpose of this proposed rule is to clarify the interest rate restrictions for certain insured depository institutions and examiners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, Board, FDIC, and OTS (the agencies) are adopting as final the Interagency Questions and Answers Regarding Community Reinvestment (Questions and Answers) that were proposed on July 11, 2007. In response to comments received, the agencies clarified several of the new and revised questions and answers that were proposed and are withdrawing the proposed revisions to an existing question and answer. Also, in response to comments we received, the agencies are proposing a new question and answer that would provide examples of how an institution can determine that community services it provides are targeted to low- and moderate-income individuals. The agencies are also proposing to revise two existing questions and answers to allow pro rata consideration in certain circumstances for an activity that provides affordable housing targeted to low-or moderate income individuals. The agencies invite public comment on these proposed new and revised questions and answers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC published 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) proposed 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>Deposit Insurance Regulations; Revocable Trust Accounts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC adopted its interim rule to simplify and modernize its deposit insurance rules for revocable trust accounts. The FDICs main goal in implementing these revisions is to make the rules easier to understand and apply, without decreasing coverage currently available for revocable trust account owners.  The FDIC believes that the interim rule will result in faster deposit insurance determinations after depository institution closings and will help improve public confidence in the banking system.  The interim rule eliminates the concept of qualifying beneficiaries.  Also, for account owners with revocable trust accounts totaling no more than $500,000, coverage will be determined without regard to the beneficial interest of each beneficiary in the trust.

Under the new rules, a trust account owner with up to five different beneficiaries named in all his or her revocable trust accounts at one FDIC-insured institution will be insured up to $100,000 per beneficiary.  Revocable trust account owners with more than $500,000 and more than five different beneficiaries named in the trust(s) will be insured for the greater of either: $500,000 or the aggregate amount of all the beneficiaries interests in the trust(s), limited to $100,000 per beneficiary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deposit Insurance Regulations;Temporary Increase in Standard Coverage Amount; Mortgage Servicing Accounts </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC adopted its interim rule to amend its deposit insurance regulations to: (1) Reflect Congresss recent action to temporarily increase the standard deposit insurance amount from $100,000 to $250,000; and (2) provide pass-through deposit insurance coverage for deposit accounts maintained by a mortgage servicer, in a custodial or other fiduciary capacity, which comprise  payments by mortgagors of principal and interest, on a per mortgagor (or borrower) basis, rather than on a per mortgagee, investor or security holder basis.  The FDICs main goals in revising its insurance rule on mortgage servicing accounts are to simplify a rule that has become increasingly complex in application due to developments in securitizations and to provide additional certainty with respect to the deposit insurance coverage of these accounts at a time of turmoil in the housing and financial markets.  The FDIC believes this regulatory change will help improve public confidence in the banking system.  The interim rule on mortgage servicing accounts replaces the current rule, which provides that the mortgage servicing accounts are insured for the interest of each owner (mortgagee, investor or security holder).]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

The standardized framework generally would be available, on an optional basis, to banks, bank holding companies, and savings associations (banking organizations) that apply the general risk-based capital rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 7, 2008, the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) entered into senior preferred stock purchase agreements (together, the Agreements, singularly an Agreement) with the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), which effectively provide protection to the holders of senior debt, subordinated debt, and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued or guaranteed by these entities.  In light of the financial support provided under the Agreements, 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 to adopt a 10 percent risk weight for claims on, and claims guaranteed by, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.  The 10 percent risk weight would apply so long as an Agreement remains in effect with the respective entity.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Financial Education Programs that Include the Provision of Bank Products and Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) amended its regulations to permit state nonmember banks to participate or assist in certain financial education programs conducted on school premises where, in connection with the program, deposits are received, checks are paid, or money is lent, without the need to submit a branch application to, and receive prior approval from, the FDIC. However, any state nonmember bank that desires to engage in such financial education programs must satisfy certain conditions in order for the exemption to apply. 

This rulemaking provides that a state nonmember bank may conduct a financial education program in connection with a school and may accept banking transactions (deposits, withdrawals, account openings, etc.) in connection with such program without the necessity of filing an application for approval of a branch with the FDIC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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) amended their regulatory capital rules to permit banks, bank holding companies, and savings associations (collectively, banking organizations) to reduce the amount of goodwill that a banking organization must deduct from tier 1 capital by the amount of any deferred tax liability associated with that goodwill. For a banking organization that elects to apply this final rule, the amount of goodwill the banking organization must deduct from tier 1 capital would reflect the maximum exposure to loss in the event that such goodwill is impaired or derecognized for financial reporting purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission amended its regulations adopted on an interim basis in Order No. 690, in order to make them clearer and to refocus the rules on the areas where there is the greatest potential for abuse.  The Final Rule was designed to (1) foster compliance, (2) facilitate Commission enforcement and (3) conform the Standards of Conduct to the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation v. FERC, 468 F.3d 831 (D.C. Cir. 2006).  The Final Rule eliminated the concept of energy affiliates and eliminated the corporate separation approach in favor of the employee functional approach used in Order Nos. 497 and 889.  (Docket No. RM07-1-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission amended its regulations under the Federal Power Act to improve the operation of organized wholesale electric markets in the areas of: (1) Demand response, including market pricing during periods of operating reserve shortage; (2) long-term power contracting; (3) market-monitoring policies; and (4) the responsiveness of RTOs and ISOs to their customers and other stakeholders. The Commission requires that each RTO and ISO make certain filings that propose amendments to its tariff, in order to comply with the proposed requirements in each area, or that demonstrate that its existing tariff and market design already satisfy the requirements.

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission issued an order addressing the requests for clarification and/or rehearing in Order No. 712.  This order generally denies rehearing and clarifies Order No. 712.  Order No. 712 revised Commission regulations governing interstate natural gas pipelines to reflect changes in the market for short-term transportation services on pipelines; improve the efficiency of the Commission's capacity release program; permit market-based pricing for short-term capacity releases; and facilitate asset management arrangements by relaxing the Commission's prohibition on tying and on its bidding requirements for certain capacity releases.  The Commission further clarified in the order that its prohibition on tying does not apply to conditions associated with gas inventory held in storage for releases of firm storage capacity or capacity releases made as part of state-approved open access programs.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended (2008) established the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Among other responsibilities transferred to the FHFA from its predecessors is the requirement for the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the Federal Home Loan Banks to report on known or possible fraud in connection with a loan or other financial instrument that it has purchased or sold, and by requiring each regulated entity to establish internal controls, procedures, and training programs to detect and report such fraud. Adoption of this rulemaking will remove the Mortgage Fraud regulations issued by OFHEO.]]></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>Passenger Vessel Financial Responsibility (Docket No. 02-15)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMC proposes to amend its rules regarding the establishment of passenger vessel financial responsibility under sections 2 (Casualty) and 3 (Performance) of Public Law 89-777.  The amendments would:  Eliminate the current ceiling on required Performance coverage; adjust the amount of coverage required by providing for consideration of the obligations of credit card issuers; provide for the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including the Commission's ADR program, in resolving passenger Performance claims; revise the application form; and make a number of technical adjustments to the Performance and Casualty rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service proposes to amend its rules relating to arbitrators' inactive status, removal, appointments, referrals, and obligation to provide FMCS with information.  The proposed rules also address the appointment of arbitrators where a party has failed to pay fees in previous cases.  In addition, the proposed rules raise the annual listing fees for arbitrators on FMCS' roster.  The changes will promote more efficient and effective procedures involving arbitration retention and arbitration services.  The increased cost of listing arbitrator biographical data more accurately reflects FMCS' costs of maintaining and administering this information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation H--Membership of State Banking Institutions in the Federal Reserve System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 204 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act added a new subsection (t) to section 18 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act requiring the Board, in consultation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), 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 (Exchange Act).

The Board and the SEC, as required by the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006, issued joint final rules implementing the "broker" exception in section 3(a)(4) of the Exchange Act (October 3, 2007, 72 FR 56514). As part of the final rulemaking, a bank is exempt from compliance with the definition of "broker" until the first day of the bank's first fiscal year commencing after September 30, 2008.  The Board and other Federal banking agencies, in consultation with the SEC, are developing rules to implement the statutory record-keeping requirement, which will be proposed for public comment.  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 E--Electronic Fund Transfers (Docket No. R-1343)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board is proposing to amend Regulation E to require financial institutions to provide consumers the ability to choose whether an institution may pay overdrafts for ATM withdrawals or one-time debit card transactions pursuant to the institution's overdraft service and charge a fee for that service. Two alternative approaches are set forth in the proposal.  Under one approach, consumers must be given notice and an opportunity to opt out of the institution's overdraft service for ATM withdrawals and one-time debit card transactions.  Under the second approach, consumers must affirmatively consent, or opt in, before such overdrafts may be paid and a fee assessed for the service.

The Board is also proposing to generally prohibit financial institutions from assessing an overdraft fee if the overdraft would not have occurred but for a hold placed on funds in the consumer's account in connection with a debit card transaction, where the hold exceeds the actual amount of the transaction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation H--Membership of State Banking Institutions in the Federal Reserve System (Docket No. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 29, 2008, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of Thrift Supervision (collectively, the agencies) proposed a new risk-based capital framework (standardized framework) based on the standardized approach for credit risk and the basic indicator approach for operational risk described in the capital adequacy framework titled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards:  A Revised Framework" released by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.  The proposed standardized framework is designed to promote improved risk measurement processes and enhance risk sensitivity by better aligning minimum risk-based capital requirements with risk without imposing undue regulatory burden.  The standardized framework generally would be available, on an optional basis, to banks, bank holding companies, and savings associations (banking organizations) that apply the existing Basel I-based general risk-based capital rules.  The agencies are seeking comment on the proposed rule.  The comment period closed on October 27, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation V--Fair Credit Reporting (Docket No. 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) Public Law 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 July 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 4, 2003, the President signed into law the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act), Public Law No. 108-159, 117 Stat. 1952, which amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).  Section 312 of the FACT Act amended section 623 of the FCRA.  This new provision requires the Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Trade Commission, the National Credit Union Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Office of Thrift Supervision (the Agencies) to issue joint regulations and guidelines relating to certain duties of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies.

The Agencies are required to issue guidelines for use by furnishers regarding the accuracy and integrity of the information about consumers that they furnish to consumer reporting agencies and prescribe regulations requiring furnishers to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing the guidelines.  The Agencies also are required to prescribe regulations that identify the circumstances under which a furnisher must investigate a dispute about the accuracy of information in a consumer report based on a direct request of the consumer.

The Agencies published for comment proposed regulations and guidelines to implement the accuracy and integrity provisions in section 312 and proposed regulations to implement the direct dispute provisions in section 312 on December 13, 2007 (72 FR 80944).  The comment period closed on February 11, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation V--Fair Credit Reporting Risk-Based Pricing (Docket No. R-1316)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve Board (Board) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2008, proposed regulations to implement section 311 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, which amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The proposed regulations generally would require a creditor to provide a consumer with a risk-based pricing notice when, based in whole or in part on the consumer's credit report, the creditor offers or provides credit to the consumer on terms less favorable than the terms it offers or provides to other consumers.

Risk-based pricing refers to the practice of using a consumer's credit report, which reflects his or her risk of nonpayment, in setting or adjusting the price and other terms of credit offered or extended to a particular consumer.  Many creditors offer more favorable terms to consumers with better credit histories.  The proposed rules would apply, with certain exceptions, to all creditors that engage in risk-based pricing.  Under these rules, a risk-based pricing notice would generally be provided to the consumer after the terms of credit have been set, but before the consumer becomes contractually obligated on the credit transaction.

The proposal provides a number of different approaches that creditors may use to identify the consumers to whom they must provide risk-based pricing notices.  In addition, the proposed rule includes certain exceptions to the notice requirement.  The most significant of the exceptions permits creditors, in lieu of providing a risk-based pricing notice to those consumers who receive less favorable terms, to provide all their consumers with the credit scores and explanatory information.

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Y--Bank Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control (Docket No. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Truth in Lending (Docket No. R-1340)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board has proposed amendments to Regulation Z to implement the provisions of the Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act of 2008, as amended (the MDIA). The MDIA broadens and adds to the requirements of a final rule amending Regulation Z that the Board issued in July 2008 (73 FR 44522).  Among other things, the MDIA requires early, transaction-specific disclosures for mortgage loans secured by dwellings other than the consumer's principal dwelling and requires waiting periods between the time when disclosures are given and consummation of the transaction.  Moreover, these requirements of the MDIA will become effective on July 30, 2009, about two months earlier than the Board's regulatory amendments adopted in its July 2008 final rule.

The MDIA requires creditors to deliver good faith estimates of the required mortgage disclosures or place them in the mail no later than three business days after receiving consumer's application for a dwelling-secured closed-end loan.  The delivery or mailing of these disclosures must occur at least seven business days before consummation.  If the annual percentage rate stated in the good faith estimates changes beyond a stated tolerance, then creditors must provide corrected disclosures to the consumer at least three business days before consummation of the transaction.  The MDIA allows consumers to expedite consummation to meet bona fide personal financial emergencies.  The MDIA specifies different requirements for providing early disclosures for mortgage transactions secured by a consumer's interest in a timeshare plan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation C--Home Mortgage Disclosure (Docket No. R-1321)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board proposed in July 2008, to amend Regulation C (Home Mortgage Disclosure) to revise the rules for reporting price information on higher-priced mortgage loans.  The rules would be conformed to the definition of "higher-priced mortgage loan" adopted by the Board under Regulation Z (Truth in Lending).  Regulation C currently requires lenders to report the rate-spread when the APR on a loan exceeds Treasury securities of comparable maturity by specified thresholds.  Under the proposal, lenders would report based on a survey-based estimate of rates currently offered on prime mortgage loans of a comparable type, rather than using Treasury securities as the benchmark.

In October 2008, the Board adopted final revisions to Regulation C, substantially as proposed, but with a later effective date of October 1, 2009, instead of January 1, 2009, as had been proposed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Truth in Lending (Docket No. 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.  

In May 2008, the Board published a second NPRM, seeking comment on a limited number of additional revisions to the regulation and commentary.  Among other issues, the new proposed amendments address creditors' responsibilities to establish reasonable instructions for receiving timely payments and when a due date falls on a weekend or holiday.  Creditors' responsibilities when investigating a claim of unauthorized transactions or an allegation of a billing error are also addressed.  Advertisements for deferred interest plans would be required to provide additional information about how interest could be imposed.

On December 18, 2008, the Board issued final rules amending Regulation Z, substantially similar to the proposed amendments contained in the June 2007 and May 2008 NPRMs.  With respect to the two alternatives dealing with the "effective" annual percentage rate in the June 2007 proposal, the final rule deletes the requirement for creditors to provide the "effective" annual percentage rate on periodic statements.  In addition, the final rule withdrew the proposed amendments related to advertisements for deferred interest plans, because substantive restrictions on these plans were adopted in the Board's final rule amending Regulation AA, which was also issued on December 18, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.)(FTC Act) prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce.  (15 U.S.C. 45(a)(1))  Under section 18f of the FTC Act, the Board (with respect to banks), OTS (with respect to savings associations), and the NCUA (with respect to federal credit unions) may prescribe regulations prohibiting such acts or practices. (15 U.S.C. 57a(f)(1))  In May 2008, the Board, OTS, and NCUA jointly proposed regulations under the FTC Act to protect consumers from engaging in certain acts or practices in connection with consumer credit card accounts and overdraft services (73 FR 28904, May 19, 2008).

In December 2008, the Board, OTS, and NCUA jointly adopted as final rules revised versions of most of the proposed regulations regarding consumer credit card accounts, but did not adopt the proposed regulations regarding overdraft services (74 FR 5498, January 29, 2009).  Instead, the Board proposed regulations addressing overdraft services under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq.) (74 FR 5212, January 29, 2009).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation DD--Truth in Savings (Docket No. R-1315)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve Board (Board) on May 19, 2008, published for comment proposed regulations to amend Regulation DD, which implements the Truth in Savings Act, and the staff commentary to the regulation.  The comment period closed on July 18, 2008, and the Board published a final rule on January 29, 2009 (74 FR 5593).  The final rule is effective January 1, 2010.  The final rule, which generally adopted the proposed rule with clarifications, requires all depository institutions to disclose aggregate overdraft fees and returned-item fees on periodic statements, and not solely institutions that promote the payment of overdrafts.  The final rule also addresses account balance disclosures provided to consumers through automated systems.

Finally, the proposed amendments would have established content and timing requirements for a notice to consumers about any right to opt out of an institution's overdraft service.  The final rule did not adopt this aspect of the proposed rule.  Instead, the Board separately published on January 29, 2009, a proposal under Regulation E, which implements the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, addressing requirements for overdraft services (Docket No. R-1343, 74 FR 5212).  The Regulation E comment period closes March 29, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 13, 2006, the President signed into law the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, (the Act).  The Act requires the Department of the Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (collectively the Agencies) to promulgate regulations to implement applicable provisions of the Act before the end of the 270-day period beginning on the date of enactment.  The Agencies published a proposed rule on October 1, 2007, and the public comment period closed on December 12, 2007. The Agencies published a joint final rule on November 18, 2008 (73 FR 68382). In accordance with the requirements of the Act, the final rule designates certain payment systems that could be used in connection with unlawful Internet gambling transactions restricted by the Act. The final rule requires participants in designated payment systems to establish policies and procedures reasonably designed to identify and block or otherwise prevent or prohibit transactions in connection with unlawful Internet gambling.  As required by the Act, the final rule exempts certain participants in designated payment systems from the requirements to establish such policies and procedures because the Agencies believe it is not reasonably practical for those participants to identify and block, or otherwise prevent or prohibit, unlawful Internet gambling transactions restricted by the Act.  Finally, the final rule describes the types of policies and procedures that non-exempt participants in each type of designated payment system may adopt in order to comply with the Act and includes non-exclusive examples of policies and procedures the Agencies deem to be reasonably designed to prevent or prohibit unlawful Internet gambling transactions restricted by the Act.]]></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 February 5, 2009, the Commission published a notice announcing it plans to review two rules (Automotive Fuel Ratings, Certification, and Posting Rule, 16 CFR 306, and Use of Prenotification Negative Option Plans, 16 CFR 425) and one guide (Guides for Private Vocational and Distance Education Schools, 16 CFR 254) in 2009 and modified the 10-year schedule for its regulatory review program (74 FR 6129). The Commission expects to issue its next notice about the current rule and guide review schedule during early 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 requires health warnings on all packages and advertisements for smokeless tobacco. The Act directs the Commission to issue implementing rules governing the format and display of the warnings. On November 4, 1986, the Commission issued its rules setting out the provisions for the size, color, typeface, and rotation of the statutory warnings at 51 FR 40005. In FY 2000, the Commission undertook a periodic review of the rules. The purpose of the review was to determine whether the rules continue to effectively meet the goals of the Act and to seek information concerning the rules, particularly their economic impact, in order to decide whether they should be amended. Staff plans to forward its recommendations to the Commission by fall 2009.]]></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. Staff plans to forward a recommendation to the Commission by the end of 2009.]]></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.

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 $65.2 million, which was effective 30 days from publication in the Federal Register (74 FR 1687; Jan. 13, 2009).  Staff continues to review the Rules and the Form and anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission during 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Used Motor Vehicle Trade Regulation Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. On July 21, 2008, the Commission published a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. The notice sought comments on a range of issues including whether a bilingual Buyers Guide would be useful or practicable, as well as what form such a Buyers Guide should take. Second, the notice sought comments on possible changes to the Buyers Guide that reflect new warranty products such as certified used car warranties, that have become increasingly popular since the Rule was last reviewed.  Finally the notice sought comments on other issues including the continuing need for the Rule and its economic impact, and the effect of the Rule on the used car market. The comment period, as extended, ended on November 19, 2008, and staff anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by summer 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Issued in 1975, and last amended in 1995, the Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule (or 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 sought 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 sought 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 closed on November 7, 2007. Staff has reviewed the comments and anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by June 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Regulation Rule Concerning Power Output Claims for Amplifiers Utilized in Home Entertainment Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Promulgated in 1974 and last reviewed within the last 5 years, the Trade Regulation Rule Concerning Power Output Claims for Amplifiers Utilized in Home Entertainment Products (Amplifier Rule or Rule) was to assist consumers in purchasing power amplification equipment for home entertainment purposes by standardizing the measurement and disclosure of various performance characteristics of the equipment. The Amplifier Rule establishes uniform test standards and disclosures so that consumers can make more meaningful comparisons of performance attributes. The Rule makes it an unfair or deceptive act or practice for manufacturers and sellers of sound power amplification equipment for home entertainment purposes to fail to disclose certain performance information in connection with direct or indirect representations of power output, power band, frequency, or distortion characteristics. The Rule also sets out standard test conditions for performing the measurements that support the required performance disclosures. Further, the Rule prohibits representations of performance characteristics if they are not obtainable when the equipment is operated by the consumer in the usual and ordinary manner without the use of extraneous aids.

On February 22, 2008, the Commission announced that it was requesting comments on the rule as part of the Commission's systematic review of all current Commission rules and guides. The Commission sought 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. Staff is reviewing comments and anticipates further Commission action by the middle of 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Regulation Rule Concerning Cooling Off Period for Sales Made at Homes or at Certain Other Locations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Last revised in 1995, the Trade Regulation Rule Concerning Cooling Off Period for Sales Made at Homes or at Certain Other Locations (or the Cooling-Off Rule) requires that a consumer be given a 3-day right to cancel certain sales greater than $25.00 that occur at a place other than a seller's place of business. The Rule also requires a seller to notify buyers orally of the right to cancel; to provide buyers with a dated receipt or copy of the contract containing the name and address of the seller and notice of cancellation rights; and to provide buyers with forms which buyers may use to cancel the contract. 

On April 21, 2009, the Commission requested comments on the rule as part of the Commission's systematic review of all current Commission rules and guides. The Commission is seeking 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Prenotification Negative Option Plans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Issued in 1974 and last reviewed in 1997, the Trade Regulation Rule on Use of Prenotification Negative Option Plans (Negative Option Rule or Rule) governs the operation of prenotification subscription plans.  Under these plans, sellers ship merchandise, such as books, compact discs, or tapes, automatically to their subscribers and bill them for the merchandise if consumers do not expressly reject the merchandise within a prescribed time.  The Rule protects consumers by: (a) Requiring that promotional materials disclose the terms of membership clearly and conspicuously; and (b) establishing procedures for the administration of such negative option plans.

The Commission plans to request comments on the rule during 2009 as part of the Commission's systematic review of all current Commission rules and guides. The Commission plans to seek 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Automotive Fuel Ratings, Certification and Posting</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[First issued in 1979 as required by section 203(c)(1) of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act and last revised in 2008, the Automotive Fuel Ratings, Certification and Posting Rule (or the Fuel Rating Rule or Rule) sets out a uniform method by which the octane rating of automotive gasoline can be certified from the refiner through the chain of distribution and then displayed at the point of retail sale. The Rule enables consumers to buy gasoline with an octane rating that is high enough to prevent inefficient and harmful "engine knock" and to avoid buying a gasoline with an octane rating that is needlessly higher than the requirements of their automobiles. 

The Rule establishes standard procedures for determining, certifying and posting (by means of a label on the fuel dispenser) the octane rating of automotive gasoline intended for sale to consumers. The certification requirement may be satisfied by industry documents (shipping receipts, delivery tickets, etc.) on which the octane rating is noted, or can be accomplished with a one-time letter of certification. In addition, the Rule contains recordkeeping requirements that require gasoline refiners and importers to retain octane rating test records and gasoline distributors and retailers to retain octane certification records for 1 year. The 1993 revisions amended the Octane Posting Rule to require sellers of alternative liquid automotive fuels to determine, certify, and post an automotive fuel rating consisting of the common name of the fuel with a disclosure of the amount, expressed as a minimum percentage by volume, of the principal component of the fuel. During 2008, the Commission promulgated biodiesel labeling requirements for two categories of biomass-based diesel blends and biodiesel blends, as required by section 205 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.

On March 2, 2009, the Commission requested comments on the rule as part of the Commission's systematic review of all current Commission rules and guides. The Commission is seeking 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule Concerning Disclosures Regarding Energy Consumption and Water Use of Certain Home Appliances and Other Products Required Under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (Appliance Labeling Rule)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 321 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 requires that the Commission conduct a rulemaking to consider the effectiveness of current energy labeling for lamps (commonly referred to as light bulbs) and to consider alternative labeling approaches.  On July 17, 2008, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register requesting comments on this topic. 73 FR 40,988.  The comment period ended on September 29, 2008.  As part of this effort, the Commission also held a public roundtable meeting on September 15, 2008.  Staff anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission during fall 2009.

Section 325 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 provides the Commission with authority to promulgate energy labeling rules for consumer electronics, including televisions. On March 16, 2009, the Commission will sought comment on whether it should require labels for televisions, personal computers, cable or satellite set-top boxes, stand-alone digital video recorder boxes, and personal computer monitors, 74 FR 11045. The Commission also sought comment on the need for such disclosures, any appropriate test procedures, the format of labels or disclosures, and the placement of labels on the products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Preservation of Consumers&apos; Claims and Defenses (&quot;Holder-in-Due Course Rule&quot;)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Issued in 1975, the Holder-in-Due Course Rule requires sellers to insert language into consumer credit contracts that preserve any claims and defenses that consumers might have against the seller. The Commission promulgated the rule after concluding that the use of certain credit transactions to foreclose consumer claims and defenses arising from credit sale transactions was an unfair practice. This rule eliminated the holder-in-due course doctrine as a legal defense for separating the consumer's obligation to pay from the seller's duty to perform.  

The Rule specifically requires sellers entering into "consumer credit contracts" or accepting the proceeds of "purchase money loans" to ensure that sales finance contracts and loan contracts contain one of two clauses that preserve the buyer's right to assert against any "holder" of the credit contract the sales-related claims and defenses that the buyer may have against the seller. During fall 2009, the Commission plans to request comments on the rule as part of the Commission's systematic review of all current Commission rules and guides. Staff plans to recommend that the Commission seek 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Privacy of Consumer Financial Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is related to RIN 3084-AA85.  In 2000, the Commission, the banking agencies, and the Securities and Exchange Commission published rules (Privacy Rules) for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act) 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. Six of these agencies (seven as of April 2006) 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 the agencies to act by summer 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. The Commission issued a supplemental NPRM on March 13, 2009, 74 FR 10843. The comment period closes on June 5, 2009. Staff expects to send a recommendation to the Commission by the end of 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Business Opportunity Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 (NPRM) 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. After reviewing the comments, the Commission published a revised NPRM on March 26, 2008, that would require business opportunity sellers to furnish prospective purchasers with specific information that is material to the consumer's decision as to whether to purchase a business opportunity and which should help the purchaser identify fraudulent offerings.  The revised NPRM also would prohibit other acts or practices that are unfair or deceptive within the meaning of section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (the FTC Act).  The comment period closed on May 27, 2008. The extended period for rebuttal comments closed on July 1, 2008 (73 FR 34895; June 19, 2008). The Commission plans to hold a day-long workshop on June 1, 2009, to explore proposed changes to the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 811 of the Energy Independence Security Act, which became effective on December 19, 2007, prohibits any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in connection with the wholesale purchase or sale of crude oil, gasoline, or other petroleum distillates in contravention of such rules or regulations as the Commission may prescribe. Section 813 specifies the methods of enforcing such a rule. On May 1, 2008, the Commission announced an ANPRM requesting comments on the manner in which it should carry out its responsibilities under this section. 73 FR 25614 (May 7, 2008). The extended comment period ended June 23, 2008. 73 FR 32259 (June 6, 2008). After considering the comments, the Commission issued an NPRM on August 19, 2008. 73 FR 48317. The comment period, as extended, closed on October 17, 2008. The Commission hosted a 1-day public workshop on November 6, 2008, in Washington, DC, that discussed the ongoing petroleum market manipulation rulemaking proceeding.  73 FR 53394. The Commission issued a revised NPRM on April 22, 2009. The comment period closes on May 20, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Breach Notification Requirement for Vendors of Personal Health Records and Other Non-HIPAA Covered Entities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 13407 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 requires that the Commission issue temporary breach notification requirements for vendors of personal health records and third parties that offer products or services through the websites of vendors of personal health records.  These entities are generally not covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).  The notification requirements for these entities are triggered when there is a breach of security with respect to individually identifiable health information contained in a personal health record.  The Commission published an NPRM on April 20, 2009, and is seeking comments at that time.  The interim final rule must be issued by August 18, 2009.  The interim rule provision as issued will be effective until Congress enacts new legislation implementing any recommendations contained in a separately required report by the Commission and the Department of Health and Human Services which is due on February 19, 2010.]]></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.

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. Staff reviewed the comments and is monitoring the credit score market, where prices have continued to remain reasonable and competitive. 

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), and an NPRM on December 10, 2007 (72 FR 69279). The comment period closed on February 11, 2008. The agencies are assessing the comments and expect to publish final rules during May 2009.

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 published a risk-based pricing proposal for public comment on May 19, 2008. (73 FR 28966). The comment period closed on August 18, 2008.  The agencies hope to issue final rules during the summer of 2009.

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).

The rule became effective on November 1, 2008. For entities under the FTC's jurisdiction, however, the Commission has delayed enforcement of the rule until May 1, 2009, to provide more time for them to develop their Red Flags Programs. The FTC has launched a website at http:www2.ftc.gov/redflagsrule, which includes "Fighting Fraud with the Red Flags Rule: A How-To Guide for Business," to help entities covered but the Red Flags Rule design and implement identity theft prevention programs. The rule requires "creditors" and "financial institutions" to develop written programs to identify the warning signs of ID theft, spot them when they occur, and take appropriate steps to respond to those warning "red flags."

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>

        <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 Administration 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) Case 2008-G515; Rewrite of GSAR Part 549; Termination of Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to amend the General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to delete two outdated clauses and the prescriptions for the two clauses. This proposed rule is a result of the General Services Administration Acquisition Manual (GSAM) Rewrite Initiative undertaken by GSA to revise the GSAM to maintain consistency with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)and to implement streamlined and innovative acquisition procedures that contractors, offerors, and GSA contracting personnel can use when entering into and administering contractual relationships. The GSAM incorporates the GSAR as well as internal agency acquisition policy. This proposed rule revises GSAR part 549 by deleting the prescriptive language at section 549.502 for two outdated clauses. The clause at 552.249-70, Termination for Convenience of the Government (Fixed Price)(Short Form), and the clause at 552.249-71, Submission of Termination Liability Schedule, are being deleted. These are two GSA-unique clauses for acquisition and maintenance of telephone systems funded through the Information Technology (IT) Fund. This fund no longer exists. These clauses are obsolete.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) Case 2006-G515; Rewrite of Part 532, Contract Financing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to revise and update the Agency's implementation of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contract financing policies. GSA has taken this opportunity to implement coverage for incremental funding of fixed-price, time-and-materials, and labor-hour contracts. This is not a significant regulatory action and therefore, it 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Case 2007-304, Relocation Allowances--Governmentwide Relocation Advisory Board</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) Case 2006-G517; Rewrite of GSAR Part 528, Bonds and Insurance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to amend the General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to update the text addressing bonds and insurance. This rule is a result of the General Services Administration Acquisition Manual (GSAM) Rewrite Initiative undertaken by GSA to revise the GSAM to maintain consistency with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)and to implement streamlined and innovative acquisition procedures that contractors, offerors, and GSA contracting personnel can use when entering into and administering contractual relationships. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Management Regulation (FMR) Amendment 2009-02; Case 2006-102-1; Motor Vehicle Management</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An amendment to FMR 102-34 final rule 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. Lorton Prison in Virginia, the supplier of license plates for a number of years, is closed, so 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) is amending the FTR to clarify that travelers must deduct the appropriate amounts from their meals and incidental expense (M&IE) allowance when meals are part of a registration fee or otherwise paid for by the Government, in conjunction with attendance at conferences or other events while on official travel.  In addition, GSA is amending the FTR to clarify that, in limited instances, agencies may allow employees to claim the full M&IE allowance when employees are unable to consume meals furnished by the Government. 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 final rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Authority and Delegations To Take Certain Actions Relating to Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NASA is amending 14 CFR by removing subpart 5 (sec 1245.500 to sec 1245.504) "Authority and Delegations to Take Certain Actions Relating to Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights." The NASA General Counsel establishes Agencywide legal policies and procedures in conjunction and coordination with the various Center Chief Counsels and determines best methods and practices for providing legal advice, assistance, and functional guidance inherent in rendering legal services. NASA Policy Directive NPD 2000.1F "Authority to Take Certain Actions for The General Counsel" serves as the delegation from, and governs such delegated authority by the General Counsel to the various designated Agency counsel to carry out such duties and responsibilities. NPD 2000.1 provides greater implementation details of the delegation as compared to 14 CFR subpart 5. Accordingly, it is deemed that 14 CFR subpart 5 is superfluous and can be eliminated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NCUA proposes to amend its rule on the assessment of the Federal credit union (FCU) operating fee to exclude loans made under the Credit Union System Investment Program (CUSIP) and the Credit Union Homeowners Affordability Relief Program (CUHARP) from calculation of total assets; total assets is the basis on which the operating fee is calculated.  The Board believes this amendment will remove a disincentive for some FCUs from participating in the CUSIP or the CUHARP.]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendment eliminates confusion associated with adjusting median household income for areas with higher costs of living, and better aligns the low-income definition with underserved area criteria and Community Development Financial Institution criteria.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance-Based ECCS Acceptance Criteria [NRC-2008-0332]

</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). 

On May 30, 2008, NRC staff released a Research Information Letter (RIL) summarizing the proposed technical basis for developing new performance-based ECCS acceptance criteria for section 50.46(b).  On June 30, 2008, Argonne National Laboratory completed NUREG/CR-6967 "Cladding Embrittlement during Postulated Loss-off-Coolant Accidents."  This document describes the results of the NRC-sponsored testing program which supports the proposed technical basis information in the RIL.  Because of the importance of the NRCs fundamental ECCS regulations in section 50.46, the NRC posted these documents on Regulations.gov to solicit domestic and international public comments.  (See http://www.Regulations.gov, Docket ID NRC-2008-0332).  The staff prepared a Federal Register notice (73 FR 44778) soliciting public comments on the proposed technical basis.  The staff also held a public workshop (September 24, 2008) to facilitate discussion of the technical basis.  Overall, stakeholders were against going forward with rulemaking at this time.  Industry stakeholders estimated that the cost of implementing the rule was in excess of $200 million.  A meeting was held on October 30, 2008, to discuss rulemaking readiness.  The staff recommended proceeding with an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM).  On December 2, 2008, the staff discussed this issue with the ACRS subcommittee on reactor fuel.  During the meeting, ACRS members were generally supportive of the staff's research and conclusions.  In it's letter dated December 18, 2008, the ACRS also supported the staff's plan for an ANPRM.  In a memorandum on December 19, 2008, the EDO informed the Commission of the staff's technical conclusions and plans to issue an ANPRM in August 2009.  The Commission approved the schedule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Large Break Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LB-LOCA) Redefinition [NRC-2004-0006]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to allow for a risk-informed alternative to the present loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) break size.  This rulemaking would address a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) (PRM-50-75).  A draft final rule was provided to the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) on October 16, 2006.  After reviewing the draft rule, the ACRS informed the Commission of numerous technical and policy concerns and recommended that the rule not be issued.  The staff prepared a Commission paper (SECY-07-0082; May 16, 2007) to inform the Commission of the impact of the ACRS recommendations and to request guidance before proceeding with the rule.  The Commission provided its guidance in a Staff Requirements Memorandum on August 10, 2007. On April 1, 2008, the staff provided an updated rule schedule to the Commission.  In a meeting on August 6, 2008, selected NRC managers approved the staff's recommended resolution of the open issues related to the final rule.  The staff prepared draft rule language incorporating the new positions into the rule and adding additional requirements for defense-in-depth for pipe breaks larger than the TBS.  Several meetings were held to inform NRO of the planned approach.  OGC reviewed the revised rule language and recommended that portions of the rule be re-noticed to provide an opportunity for public comments on some of the new rule requirements.  In a meeting on October 8, 2008, NRC managers decided to repropose the entire rule.  On December 18, 2008, the EDO signed a memorandum informing the Commission that the staff will re-notice the section 50.46a rule for additional public comments.  The memorandum also stated that the EDO intends to publish the re-noticed rule in July 2009.  The Commission will not approve the staff's schedule until after hearing public and industry views in a Commission meeting on February 4, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations by seeking to improve regulatory efficiency by clarifying the scope, applicability, and terminology of 10 CFR part 72 Certificates of Compliance (CoC) and general license regulations to better align them with each other.  In addition, it also seeks to provide consistency between the general license requirements and the site-specific independent spent fuel storage installation license requirements within 10 CFR part 72.  The Commission has also included in this rule the resolution of issues associated with use by utilities of multiple amendments to casks CoCs.  The NRC made available preliminary rule language on August 4, 2008 (73 FR 45173).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commissions licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to its applicants and licensees.  The amendments implement the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90), as amended, which requires that the NRC recover approximately 90 percent of its budget authority in Fiscal Year (FY) 2009, less the amounts appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund, and for Waste Incidental to Reprocessing, generic homeland security activities, and scholarships and fellowships.  

Based on the bill reported by the House Appropriations Committee on June 25, 2008, the NRC's required fee recovery amount for the FY 2009 budget is approximately $ 870.6 million.  After accounting for carryover and billing adjustments, the total amount to be recovered through fees is approximately $ 864.8 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commissions regulations by requiring applicants for new nuclear power reactors to perform a design-specific assessment of the effects of the impact of a large, commercial aircraft.  The applicant is required to use realistic analyses to identify and incorporate design features and functional capabilities to ensure, with reduced use of operator actions, that either the reactor core remains cooled or the containment remains intact, and either spent fuel cooling or spent fuel pool integrity is maintained.   These requirements apply to applicants for new construction permits; new operating licenses that reference a new construction permit; new standard design certifications, renewal of any of the four existing design certifications if the design has not previously been amended to comply with the final rule; new standard design approvals; manufacturing licenses that dont reference a standard design certification or standard design approval, or that reference a standard design certification issued before the effective date of the rule which has not been amended to comply with the rule; and combined licenses that dont reference a standard design certification, standard design approval, or manufactured reactor, or that reference a standard design certification issued before the effective date of the rule which has not been amended to comply with the rule.  In addition, these amendments contain requirements for control of changes to any design features or functional capabilities credited for ensuring that the design can withstand the effects of an aircraft impact.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update Fuel Performance Considerations and Other Fuel Cycle Issues [NRC-2009-0082]</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 would be 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 [NRC-1999-0005]</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 [NRC-2009-0083]</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 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 completed research to develop a sound technical basis for an entombment option.  The Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research conducted research in 2004 and 2005, and the work was terminated in FY 2005, at the direction of the Commission.  A research information letter was prepared summarizing the research results and regulatory implications of using concrete barriers to prevent or control the release of radioactive materials from waste disposal facilities or contaminated sites.  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 [NRC-2009-0084]</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, which the Commission disapproved.  The Commission's decision was 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.  The Commission has deferred action on this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Decoupling of Assumed Loss of Offsite Power From Loss-of-Coolant Accidents (LOCA) [NRC-2008-0606]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to remove the requirement to postulate unavailability of offsite power for all loss of coolant accidents, as currently required by General Design Criterion 35.  By taking into account risk insights, this requirement would be removed for the larger, less likely events, but would be retained for more frequent (smaller break) losses of coolant.  The rulemaking would facilitate certain facility changes, such as emergency diesel generator start times, to optimize them for the more likely events rather than for rare events.  In a Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) dated March 31, 2003, the Commission directed the staff to prepare a proposed rule.  On April 27, 2004, the BWR Owners Group (BWROG) submitted the topical report, "Separation of Loss of Offsite Power from Large Break LOCA" for staff review.  The BWROG indicated that the topical report would support plant-specific exemption requests to implement specific plant changes that are currently not possible with the existing rule requirements.  The staff recommended in SECY-04-0037 that it be allowed to finish its review of the topical report and pilot exemption request before initiating rulemaking.  In its SRM of July 1, 2004, the Commission approved the staff to begin rulemaking after review of the BWROG pilot exemption request.  After an ongoing dialogue, on June 12, 2008, the BWROG withdrew their topical report, stating that "...continued development of this LTR [Licensing Topical Report] is no longer cost effective and, if ultimately approved in the form presently desired by NRC staff, adoption by licensees would most likely be prohibitively expensive."  Therefore, the need for this rulemaking is being reevaluated.  This rulemaking activity is also considering the issues raised in a petition for rulemaking submitted by Bob Christie (PRM-50-77).]]></ABSTRACT>

 which would be more difficult to license under the LWR-focused 10 CFR part 50. The development of the proposed rule will take advantage of lessons learned from the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) and other advanced reactor reviews expected to begin in or around 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to include a new general license for a community water system (CWS) that, during the treatment of drinking water, may accumulate and concentrate naturally-occurring uranium in media, effluents, and other residuals, above 0.05 percent by weight.  This rulemaking is being delayed while NRC evaluates the possibility of removing this type of activity from NRC's jurisdiction.  In the meantime, a CWS may choose to operate under the enforcement discretion policy discussed in Regulatory Issue Summary RIS 06-020, "Guidance for Receiving Enforcement Discretion When Concentrating Uranium at Community Water Systems," dated September 14, 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to prevent future legacy sites.  One set of changes would revise 10 CFR 20.1406 and 20.1501 to require that licensees conduct their operations to minimize contamination at the site, including the subsurface, and to document survey results with records important for decommissioning.  A second set of changes would revise regulations in 10 CFR parts 30, 40, 50, 70, and 72 to provide tighter control of the decommissioning financial assurances and more detailed reporting by licensees of their decommissioning cost estimates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Power Reactor Security Requirements [NRC-2006-0016, NRC-2008-0019]</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.  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, 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 that could adversely affect the protection against radiological sabotage.  The proposed rulemaking would 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. The proposed rulemaking would address a petition for rulemaking (PRM-73-13) regarding access to and escort within the protected area of the nuclear power plant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the Commissions regulations to adjust the maximum civil monetary penalties (CMPs) it can assess under statues within the jurisdiction of the NRC.  These changes were mandated by Congress in the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996.  The NRC is amending its regulations to adjust the maximum CMP for a violation of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), as amended, or any regulation or order issued under the AEA from $130,000 to $140,000 per violation per day.  Further, the provisions concerning program fraud civil penalties are being amended by adjusting the maximum CMP under the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act from $6,000 to $7,000 for each false claim or statement.]]></ABSTRACT>

The MAGNASTOR system is a vertical, canister-based, dry storage system designed for interim storage of up to 37 pressurized water reactor spent fuel assemblies or up to 87 boiling water reactor spent fuel assemblies.  This cask design consists of a transportable storage canister with welded closure, a concrete cask to contain the canister during the storage period, and a transfer cask to contain the canister during loading, transfer and unloading operations.  The direct final rule allows the holders of power reactor operating licenses to store spent fuel in this approved cask system under a general license.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.  In addition, this regulation will now be amended in order to implement certain provisions of new Executive Order 13490 on Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interpretation, Exemptions, and Waiver Guidance Concerning 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>

These disclosure provisions apply to public reports filed since January 1, 1991. Subpart I of the regulation, effective October 5, 1992, superseded prior executive branchwide and agency-specific regulations and established a revised system of confidential reporting, modeled generally on the public reporting system, for executive branch agency mid-level employees with sensitive duties and special Government employees. This regulation also has a subpart dealing with certificates of divestiture.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Post-Employment Conflict of Interest Restrictions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interpretive regulation gives 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 also previously 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.  With the publication of the complete current post-employment law final regulation, the old part 2637 regulation has now been removed from the CFR.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

Specifically, OPM proposes to separate the Fellows Program from the Senior Fellows program within part 362, expand the timeframe for agencies to request an extension of a Fellow's appointment, and allow Fellows who have withdrawn from the program because they were unable to complete program requirements to petition OPM or an Agency other than the original employing Agency for reinstatement]]></ABSTRACT>

Defining the New England FWS wage areas by primarily considering county boundaries would provide greater consistency in how OPM defines FWS wage areas and would improve the ability to make direct data comparisons with Census Bureau data.  The proposed rule would define the New Haven-Hartford wage area to include Hartford and New Haven Counties, CT, as the survey area and Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, and Tolland Counties, CT, as the area of application and the New London wage area to include New London County, CT, as the survey area and Windham County, CT, as the area of application.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Processing Child Support and Alimony Withholding Notices; Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is required to annually publish updates to the information currently contained in appendix A to 5 CFR part 581-List of Agents Designated to Accept Legal Process and appendix B to 5 CFR part 581-List of Agents Designated to Facilitate the Service of Legal Process on Federal Employees.  appendix A to 5 CFR part 582-List of Agents Designated to Accept Legal Process contains a supplementary list specific to service of process for commercial garnishment of Federal employees pay.  Since the last updates in 2000, there have been changes to both process and technology that require revisions to parts 581 and 582. For instance, payroll activities are now conducted primarily via e-payroll by Shared Service Centers.  Additionally, addresses and physical locations for each designated agent change with some frequency.  OPM proposes revising section 581.201 to transfer the function of annual updates to the operations division within OPM responsible for payroll functions.  The appendices will either be modified to account for changes in designated agents or will be struck altogether, along with cross-references, and replaced with an annual Notice in the Federal Register and ongoing updates to a designated website.]]></ABSTRACT>

We are codifying a long-standing practice (5 U.S.C. 3301 and 5 U.S.C. 3302) of providing agencies with the option of either certifying a candidate for only one vacancy at a time, or certifying a candidate simultaneously for all vacancies for which that candidate expresses an interest, is eligible, and is within reach.]]></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) and provides a framework for continued development of executives. 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; outlines requirements for agency SES Candidate Development Programs; establishes a requirement for continued executive development; 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued a proposed rule that would redefine the geographic boundaries of the Fresno and Stockton, CA, appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas.  The proposed rule would redefine Mariposa and Merced Counties and the Yosemite National Park portion of Madera and Tuolumne Counties, CA, to the Stockton wage area.  These changes are based on recent consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the counties proposed for redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposed to change the cost-of-living allowance (COLA) rates received by certain white-collar Federal and U.S. Postal Service employees in the Pacific and Alaska COLA areas.  The proposed rate changes are the result of interim adjustments OPM calculated in 2008 based on relative Consumer Price Index differences.  The proposed regulations would reduce the COLA rates for the Pacific areas and Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, Alaska, by 1 percentage point.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to revise the criteria for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) broadbanding systems. 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 final 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes in Pay Administration Rules for General Schedule Employees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevailing Rate Systems; Change in Nonappropriated Fund Federal Wage System Survey Schedule From Fiscal Year to Calendar Year
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued a final rule to change the annual schedule of nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System wage surveys from a fiscal year cycle to a calendar year cycle.  The purpose of this change is to move certain wage surveys to a different time of year and thus optimize the data collection process for those areas.  In addition, this change will more evenly distribute the workload for the agency responsible for conducting NAF surveys.]]></ABSTRACT>

San Mateo County, CA, will no longer be defined.  These changes are necessary because the closure of the Moffett Federal Airfield Navy Exchange will leave the Santa Clara wage area without an activity having the capability to conduct a local wage survey.]]></ABSTRACT>

This review covers relevant statutes, executive orders, and Governmentwide regulations and is intended to determine whether a reengineered system that is cohesive, simplified, and equitable as possible can be developed.

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is a proposed rule to amend PBGC's regulation on Benefits Payable in Terminated Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR part 4022).  That regulation sets forth rules on PBGCs guarantee of pension plan benefits, including rules on the phase-in of the guarantee.  The amendments would implement section 403 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which provides that the phase-in period for the guarantee of a benefit payable solely by reason of an "unpredictable contingent event," such as a plant shutdown, starts no earlier than the date of the shutdown or other unpredictable contingent event.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) provides that an individual who leaves his or her job to serve in the uniformed services is generally entitled to reemployment by his or her previous employer and, upon reemployment, to receive credit for benefits, including employee pension plan benefits, that would have accrued but for the employee's absence due to military service. This proposed rule would amend PBGC's benefit payments regulation to deem a participant who is in military service on the plan's termination date to satisfy the reemployment condition for entitlement to USERRA benefits as of the plan's termination date, so long as the participant is reemployed after the termination date in accordance with USERRA requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bankruptcy Filing Date Treated as Plan Termination Date for Certain Purposes; Guaranteed Benefits; Allocation of Plan Assets; Pension Protection Act of 2006</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is a final rule to implement section 404 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. Section 404 amended title IV of ERISA to provide that when an underfunded, PBGC-covered, single-employer pension plan terminates while its contributing sponsor is in bankruptcy, sections 4022 and 4044(a)(3) of ERISA are to be applied by treating the date the sponsor's bankruptcy petition was filed as the termination date of the plan. Section 4022 determines which benefits are guaranteed by PBGC, and section 4044(a)(3) determines which benefits are entitled to priority in "priority category 3" in the statutory hierarchy for allocating the assets of a terminated plan. Thus, under the 2006 amendments, when a plan terminates while the sponsor is in bankruptcy, the amount of benefits guaranteed by PBGC and the amount of benefits in priority category 3 are fixed at the date of the bankruptcy filing rather than at the plan termination date. This will, in most cases, reduce the amount of guaranteed benefits and the amount of benefits in priority category 3.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 401 of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act requires the Secretary of the Treasury to develop recommendations for accounting practices and principles that will govern the operation of the Postal Service's Competitive Products Fund and the determination of an assumed Federal income tax to be imposed on competitive products' income.  On December 19, 2007, the Secretary of the Treasury submitted the report and its recommendations to the Postal Regulatory Commission concerning accounting principles and practices for the operation of the Postal Service's Competitive Products Fund and the determination of an assumed Federal income tax to be imposed on competitive products income.  Title 39 U.S.C. section 2011(h) requires the Commission to give the public the opportunity to comment on that report and tasks it with the responsibility to develop regulations to establish the accounting practices and principles to govern the operation of the Competitive Products Fund and rules for determining the assumed Federal income tax on competitive products' income.  This regulation fulfills the Commission's statutory responsibility to prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounting principles and practices for the operation of the Competitive Products Fund and the determination of an assumed Federal income tax on competitive products' income.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission also proposed rule amendments that would require a registered adviser that has Government clients to maintain certain records of the political contributions made by the adviser or any of its partners, executive officers, or solicitors.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission, together with the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Trade Commission, National Credit Union Administration, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Office of Thrift Supervision and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (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 the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act, the Agencies proposed a model form that may be used at the option of financial institutions. The Commission, in coordination with the other Agencies, is proposed adopting a model privacy form that financial institutions may use to provide disclosures under the privacy rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

These rules contain recordkeeping and reporting requirements with regard to "material associated persons" of broker-dealers in order to evaluate the potential risks affiliates may pose to the registered broker-dealer.  The Division is considering recommending that the Commission propose amendments to update rule requirements and replace the temporary 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>

The amendments sought to enhance the transparency of syndicate covering bids and prohibit the use of penalty bids.  The amendments were also intended to update certain definitional and operational provisions in light of market developments since Regulation M's adoption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Roadmap for the Potential Use of Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance With International Financial Reporting Standards by U.S. Issuers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission published a concept release concerning use of financial statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as published by the International Accounting Standards Board for purposes of complying with Commission rules and regulations.

Based on the comments received, the Commission published a proposing release for public comment setting forth a roadmap with several milestones that, if achieved, could lead to the mandatory use of International Financial Reporting Standards by U.S. issuers beginning in 2014, if the Commission determines that doing so would be in the public interest and enhance the protection of investors.  The proposing release also sought comments on proposed amendments to various regulations, rules and forms that would permit use of IFRS by a limited number of U.S. issuers for years ending on or after December 15, 2009, if this would enhance the comparability of financial information to investors.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission also proposed changes to the definition of the term "accredited investor" in Regulation D to reflect developments since its first adoption.  Finally, the Commission  proposed shortening the timing required by the integration safe harbor in Regulation D and applying uniform updated disqualification provisions to all offerings under Regulations A, D, and E.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted interim final temporary rules that provide exemptions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the Trust Indenture Act for certain credit default swaps to facilitate the operation of one or more central counterparties for those credit default swaps.  The interim final temporary rules define such credit default swaps as "eligible credit default swaps" and exempt them from all provisions of the Securities Act, other than the section 17(a) anti-fraud provisions, including Exchange Act registration requirements and the Trust Indenture Act, provided certain conditions are met.

The rules also define as a "qualified purchaser," for purposes of the "covered securities" provisions of section 18 of the Securities Act, any "eligible contract participant," as defined in section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") other than a person who is an eligible contract participant under section 1a(12)(C) of the CEA, to whom a sale of an eligible credit default swap is made in reliance on the interim final temporary Securities Act exemption.]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendments would set forth more specific requirements for safeguarding information and responding to information security breaches, and broaden the scope of the information covered by Regulation S-P's safeguarding and disposal provisions.  They would also extend the application of the disposal provisions to natural persons associated with broker, dealers, investment advisers, and transfer agents registered with the Commission, and would extend the application of the safeguarding provisions to registered transfer agents.  Finally, the amendments would permit a limited transfer of information to a nonaffiliated third party without the required notice and opt out when personnel move from one broker-dealer or registered investment adviser to another.]]></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>

        <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 to have been 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Concept Release:  Competitive Developments in the Options Markets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission published a concept release discussing changes in the U.S. options market since the start of widespread multiple trading of options in 1999 that have had the greatest impact on competition.  The release sought comment on, among other things, the impact on the marketplace of payment for order flow, specialist guarantees, and internalization; whether the Commission should extend Exchange Act Rules 11Ac1-4 and 11Ac1-5 to the options markets; and whether options should be quoted in penny increments. The Division is considering whether to recommend further action to the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted revisions to its oil and gas reporting requirements in the current form in Regulation SK and Regulation SX under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. 

The revisions are intended to provide investors with a more meaningful and comprehensive understanding of oil and gas reserves, which should help investors evaluate the relative value of oil and gas companies.  They codify Industry Guide 2 in Regulation SK, with several additions to, and deletions of, current Industry Guide items. They also harmonize oil and gas disclosures by foreign private issuers with the proposed disclosures for domestic issuers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted rules requiring mutual funds to provide risk/return summary information in an interactive data format, which would improve its usefulness to investors. Under the rules, risk/return summary information could be downloaded directly into spreadsheets, analyzed in a variety of ways using commercial off-the-shelf software, and used within investment models in other software formats.

Mutual funds will provide the risk/return summary section of their prospectuses to the Commission and on their Web sites in interactive data format using the eXtensible Business Reporting Language, XBRL.  The interactive data would be provided as an exhibit to registration statements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted a new rule that defines the terms "annuity contract" and "optional annuity contract" under the Securities Act.  The rule is intended to clarify the status under the federal securities laws of indexed annuities, under which payments to the purchaser are dependent on the performance of a securities index.

The Commission also adopted a new rule that exempts insurance companies from filing reports under the Exchange Act with respect to indexed securities and other insurance securities registered under the Securities Act, provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including that the securities are regulated under State insurance law, the issuing insurance company and its financial condition are subject to supervision and examination by a State insurance regulator, and the securities are not publicly traded.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>8(a) Business Development</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to make a number of changes to the regulations governing the 8(a) BD Program and several changes to SBAs size regulations.  Some of the changes involve technical issues, such as changing the term "SIC code" to "NAICS code" to reflect the national conversion to the North American Industry Classification system. SBA has learned through experience that certain of its rules governing the 8(a) BD program are too restrictive and serve to unfairly preclude firms from being admitted to the  program.  In other cases, SBA has determined that a rule is too expansive or indefinite and has sought to restrict or clarify that rule. Changes are also being proposed to correct past public or agency misinterpretation.  Also, new situations have arisen that were not anticipated when the current rules were drafted and the proposed rule seeks to cover those situations.  Finally, one of the changes, involving Native Hawaiian Organizations, implements recently enacted legislation.]]></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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Surety Bond Program Changes </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule encompasses six changes to the Surety Bond Guarantee Program.  It requires replacement or completion contractors who are called in by the Surety following default by the Principal to be independently bonded.  It revises the dollar threshold for a bond requiring U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) approval prior to execution.  It provides SBA some discretion in determining whether bond liability should be denied as a result of the failure of a Surety to pay the required surety fee. It raises the dollar threshold for which fees are required to submit guarantee fees. Finally, it incorporates two administrative changes.  The purpose of these amendments is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Surety Bond Guarantee Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lender Oversight Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements 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.   

In particular, this rule (1) Defines SBLCs and NFRLs; (2) clarifies SBA's authority to regulate SBLCs and NFRLs; (3) authorizes SBA to set certain minimum capital standards for SBLCs, to issue cease and desist orders, and revoke or suspend lending authority of SBLCs and NFRLs; (4) establishes the Bureau of Premier Certified Lender Program Oversight in the Office of Credit Risk management; (5) transfers existing SBA enforcement authority over CDCs from the Office of Financial Assistance to the appropriate official in the Office of Capital Access; and (6) defines SBA's oversight and enforcement authorities relative to all SBA lenders participating in the 7(a) and CDC programs and intermediaries in the Microloan program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of &quot;Employee&quot; for Purposes of the HUBZone Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

The Agency is authorized by statute to adjust the award amounts once every 5 years to reflect economic adjustments and programmatic considerations.

        <RULE_TITLE>Inflationary Adjustments to Acquisition-Related Dollar Thresholds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA is amending its regulations to acknowledge and implement the inflationary adjustments resulting from Public Law 108-375 that mandated the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FARC) to adjust each acquisition-related dollar threshold on October 1 of each year that is evenly divisible by five. This regulation will refer the regulation's users to the FAR for discerning current inflationary adjustments.  Referring the users to the FAR for viewing current inflationary adjustments avoids duplicating information readily available in the commonly used FAR and avoids an inconsistency between SBA's regulations and the FAR during the periods necessitated for processing changes to SBA's regulations.  Specifically, SBA's amendments will address inflationary adjustments to SBA's "subcontracting assistance," "acquisition strategy review," "bundling," 8(a) business development, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned, small business programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Business Loan Program Regulations:  Incorporation of London Interbank Offered Rate </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To address extraordinary market conditions limiting credit availability for small businesses, SBA is issuing an interim final rule to make adjustments on an emergency basis to certain of its regulations in order to make the secondary market for loans guaranteed under section 7(a) of the Small Business Act (7(a) loans) more efficient with regard to loan pricing and the formation of secondary market loan pools.  Specifically, the interim final rule will permanently add an additional base rate of LIBOR for lenders to use when pricing 7(a) loans, and will allow for secondary market loan pools to be formed with weighted average coupon rates.  This interim final rule is necessary to help ensure continued availability of capital to small businesses and to improve liquidity in and efficiency of the secondary market.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <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>Revising Aspects of SSA&apos;s Vocational Rehabilitation Program (929A)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our regulations to remove obsolete provisions in 20 CFR 404.2101 to 20 CFR 404.2121 and 20 CFR 416.2201 to 20 CFR 416.2227 relating to the referral of disabled or blind beneficiaries for vocational rehabilitation (VR) services.  We also are proposing to revise the regulations for our VR Cost Reimbursement Program to better integrate some aspects of these rules with those of the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program.  The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (Ticket Improvement Act) eliminated the provisions of the Social Security Act that stated that beneficiaries receiving disability or blindness benefits be referred to State VR agencies for appropriate services.  The Ticket Improvement Act also  provides these beneficiaries with expanded options for access to employment, VR, and other support services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Effective March 31, 1995, the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act (SSIPIA) established the Social Security Administration (SSA) as an independent agency.  Under section 106(b) of SSIPIA, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations in effect immediately prior to March 31, 1995, which relate to SSA functions continue to apply to SSA until modified, suspended, terminated, or repealed. These proposed rules will modify, suspend, terminate or repeal regulations in 20 CFR part 431, based primarily upon HHS regulations at 45 CFR parts 80, 81, 94, 86, and 91. Upon SSA's rules becoming final regulations, the HHS regulations will cease to apply to SSA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exclusion of Certain Military Pay From Deemed Income and Resources (978P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed rules would exclude 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.

In determining an individual's eligibility for SSI, under certain conditions we would not count the combat pay of an ineligible parent or spouse as income.  Also under certain conditions, for 9 months following the month of receipt of any retroactive payment, we would exclude from deemed resources the unspent portion of that payment as resources.]]></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 requirement under section 211 of Public Law 108-203--the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA).

An alien worker to whom we did not assign a Social Security Number (SSN) before January 1, 2004, must meet one of two additional requirements in order to be found entitled to title II benefits based on that alien's earnings record.  One is assignment of an SSN and authorization to work in the United States.  Alternatively, the work at issue must have been performed while the alien was admitted to the United States as a visitor for business (Department of Homeland Security (DHS) nonimmigrant classification "B-1") or as a crewman on a vessel or aircraft (DHS nonimmigrant classification "D-1" or "D-2"), and the business engaged in or service performed as a crewman was within the scope of the terms of such individual's admission to the United States.

If an alien worker whose SSN was originally assigned on or after January 1, 2004, does not meet either of these requirements, then he or she is not fully or currently insured and is not entitled to benefits even if the alien worker appears to have the required number of quarters of coverage in accordance with the other insured status provisions.  This 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 an SSN before January 1, 2004, is not subject to section 211 of the SSPA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Procedures for Certain Determinations and Decisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In certain circumstances, a claimant who has requested a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ) may receive a wholly favorable determination based on a prehearing case review or a wholly favorable decision by an attorney advisor.  A claimant who receives this kind of wholly favorable determination or decision may request that his hearing proceed by filing a written request within 30 days of the date that the notice of the determination or decision was mailed.  If a claimant has not asked that this hearing proceed within this time, an ALJ will dismiss the claimant's request for a hearing.  Claimants rarely appeal wholly favorable determinations and decisions, and they are often confused when they receive notice that their hearing request was dismissed months after they receive their favorable determination or decision.  To lessen potential for confusion and to streamline our administrative process, we propose to eliminate this 30-day time period while preserving the claimants' right to have a hearing in these cases.  It is possible that a claimant will receive a partially favorable determination in the prehearing case review process.  For these cases, we propose to notify the claimant that we will continue with the ALJ hearing unless all parties to the hearing tell us in writing that we should dismiss the hearing request.  Finally, we propose to notify claimants who receive a wholly favorable ALJ decision without a hearing and who do not want to dismiss their hearing request of their right to appeal their decision to the Appeals Council.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to modify our rules regulating U.S. Social Security System coverage under international totalization agreements to incorporate our long-standing interpretation and practices regarding Social Security coverage under totalization agreements. The proposed changes would: (1) exempt from U.S. Social Security taxes work performed in the U.S. by multi-national U.S. citizens for another country other than Canada or Italy, to which they also hold citizenship and which is party to a totalization agreement with the United States; (2) establish factors to be considered when issuing certificates of coverage under the U.S. Social Security system; (3) tax income earned from the exercise of stock options and deferred salary payments based on where the services for the payment were rendered, regardless of when or where the deferred payment or stock options are made or exercised; and, (4) specify that an employee must be outside of a country for at least six months and be covered by U.S. Social Security between two assignments within the same country in order to qualify for a certificate of coverage.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The mission of the Social Security Administration, Office of the Inspector General (SSA/OIG), is to protect SSA programs and operations from fraud, waste, and abuse.  As part of its mission, SSA/OIG was delegated authority to enforce part of section 1140 of the Social Security Act, 42 USC 1320b-10.  However, SSA retained authority to enforce section 1140(a)(2)(A), which prohibits a person, for a fee, from reproducing, reprinting or distributing any item consisting of a form, application, or other publication of the Social Security Administration.  This proposed rule would delegate the authority to enforce violations of this section to SSA/OIG.  SSA would retain authority to approve the reproduction, reprinting or distribution of an SSA form, SSA application, or other SSA publication.

In addition, this regulation would clarify what constitutes service of an enforcement action under sections 1129 and 1140 of the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reestablishing Appeals Council Level Provisions in the Boston Region and Related Technical Changes (3502P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to eliminate the Decision Review Board (DRB) portion of part 405 of our rules, which we now use for initial disability claims arising in our Boston region.  Instead, we propose to allow claimants in the Boston region who are dissatisfied with the administrative law judge's (ALJ) action to request Appeals Council review.  If the Appeals Council denies the request for review of an ALJ's decision, or the Appeals Council issues a decision, and the claimant is dissatisfied with our final decision, the claimant may file a civil action in Federal court.  We intend to make the Appeals Council process in the Boston region parallel to the Appeals Council process in the rest of the country to the greatest extent possible.  However, we are keeping the current rules in part 405 that apply to hearings before an ALJ in the Boston region.  The hearing rules in part 405 differ in some respects from the rules in parts 404 and 416, so some provisions regarding Appeals Council review of ALJ actions arising in the Boston region must reflect those differences.  We also propose to make several technical changes to reflect changes to the disability process implemented in previous final rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>How We Collect and Consider Evidence of Disability (3487P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to change what we ask for in medical source statements to address your limitations and restrictions from your medically determinable impairment(s) rather than your capacities; that is, what you cannot do because of, instead of what you still can do despite, your impairment(s).  This would allow medical sources to describe the limiting effects of your impairment(s) as they do in their own records, making it easier to provide the information we need to evaluate whether you are disabled.  We propose to clarify that this change applies to all levels of our administrative process and, for title XVI childhood cases, make these regulations more closely reflect the language in the childhood disability regulations.

We also propose to give adjudicators additional methods to resolve inconsistent or insufficient evidence to help avoid unnecessary or unproductive steps in the adjudication process and improve efficiency.  Currently, when inconsistent or insufficient evidence prevents us from determining whether you are disabled, we first must recontact your treating medical sources for additional information.

We also propose to clarify that we consider a review of the longitudinal evidence available in your case record, to emphasize our responsibility to consider how your impairment(s) changes over time.  This long-standing policy will not change the outcome of disability determinations or decision; however, it will make our policy more transparent.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our rules to allow employers to electronically file their annual wage reports.  Our current rules provide that we will return wage reports to the filer if they contain a certain percentage of unidentified or incorrectly identified wage items.  We propose to eliminate this threshold and add general language indicating that we will return wage reports for corrections and resubmission if the reports do not meet our format and processing requirements.  Finally, we propose to remove obsolete sections and replace outdated references and instructions to reflect current reporting requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to modify, on a temporary basis, our prehearing procedures in claims for Social Security disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income payments based on disability or blindness under sections 404 and 416 of our regulations. These proposed rules would authorize certain Federal disability examiners to issue decisions that are wholly favorable to claimants without further review by an attorney advisor or administrative law judge (ALJ). These proposed rules would expedite the processing of cases at the hearing level without delaying or infringing on the right to a hearing before an ALJ. This temporary modification would remain in effect for a period not to exceed five years.]]></ABSTRACT>

Additionally, we propose to clearly provide that a determination of whether to issue a certificate of coverage under international totalization agreements is not an initial determination subject to further administrative review.  These clarifications would conform our regulations to our agreements and long-standing operational policies and practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dedicated Accounts and Installment Payments for Certain Past Due Supplemental Security Income Benefits (622F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final rules will adopt, with minor changes, the interim final rules published in the Federal Register on December 20, 1996 (61 FR 67203).  The interim final rules reflected the PRWORA amendments to the Social Security Act concerning dedicated accounts and installment payments for certain past-due Supplemental Security Income benefits.  Section 213 of the PRWORA 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.  Section 221 of the PRWORA requires, with certain exceptions, that past-due SSI benefits which equal or exceed 12 times the maximum FBR be paid in installments.  

In addition, these final rules reflect conforming provisions to section 302 of the Social Security Protection Act 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 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>

First, for individuals whose previous semi-skilled or skilled work does not allow him or her to transfer skills to other semi-skilled or skilled work within his or her residual functional capacity, we will treat past work experience as if it were unskilled.

        <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 stepparent. The changes also require benefit termination when the stepchild's natural parent and the insured stepparent divorce. We will 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 2.00 and 102.00, Special Senses and Speech, of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of our regulations 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 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sixty-Month Period of Employment Requirement for Government Pension Offset Exemption (3022F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To implement section 418 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004, we will 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, if any part of the last 60 months of government service was not covered by Social Security.  We also will 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 will revise our regulations to reflect a separate 60-month requirement that was made applicable to Federal employees by a 1987 law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will revise our rules on representation of parties in parts 404, 408, 416, and 422 to reflect changes in representatives' business practices, beneficiaries' use of the Internet, and to become more efficient in processing claims for benefits.  These rules will:

o  Recognize entities as representatives;
o  Mandate the use of Form SSA-1696 to appoint a representative or revoke or withdraw an appointment of a representative;
o  Mandate the use of Form SSA-1696 to waive a fee or direct payment of the fee;
o  Define the roles of a principal representative and a professional representative;
o  Require professional representatives to use our electronic services as they become available;
o  Authorize principal representatives to sign and file a claim for benefits for a claimant with us;
o  Require professional representatives to submit certain requests for reconsideration and hearings before an administrative law judge electronically;
o  Require a representative to keep paper copies of certain documents that we may require;
o  Add new definitions or revise existing definitions for:  "disqualify," "electronic media," "Federal agency," "Federal program," "fee petition," "initial disability claim," "person," "principal representative," "professional representative," and "representative;" 
o  Add new affirmative duties and prohibited actions for representatives; and
o  Change references in the representative sanctions rules to reflect a recent delegation of authority and a recent agency reorganization.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Setting the Time and Place for a Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (3481F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will amend our rules to clarify that the agency is responsible for setting the time and place for a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). Consistent with our regulations at other levels of the administrative process, we plan to use we or us in the rules addressing the scheduling of hearings. These changes will ensure greater flexibility in scheduling both in person and video teleconference hearings, increase efficiency in the hearing process, and reduce the number of pending hearings. The number of cases awaiting a hearing has reached historic proportions, and efforts toward greater efficiency are critical to addressing this problem.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our rules to remove Vietnam and Democratic Kampuchea (now Cambodia) from the list of countries to which social security benefits may not be sent under restrictions imposed by the Department of the Treasury (Treasury).  Removing these restrictions allows social security benefits to accrue for aliens entitled to benefits for months in which they reside in either Vietnam or Cambodia, provided they are not subject to other nonpayment provisions.  The revisions are necessary to reflect published Treasury regulations that have removed the restrictions on sending Federal payments to individuals living in these countries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Administrative Law Judge, Appeals Council, and Decision Review Board Appeals Levels (3401F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will 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.  We also will 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."]]></ABSTRACT>

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>Amendments to Application Filing Date Requirements for Certain Military Members of the Uniformed Service (3474P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed rules would allow casualty reports prepared by the United States armed forces to serve as statements of intent to claim benefits and preserve filing dates for all benefits.  The changes to sections 404.630 and 416.340 shall apply to all servicemembers entitled to receive benefits.  These changes would simplify the benefits determination process and ensure that veterans receive those benefits to which they are entitled.  Additionally, these rules provide a technical correction replacing the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940 with the Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act where applicable.  This proposed change would update our regulations to reflect legislative changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarifying Education as a Vocational Factor (3480P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise our regulations to remove references to vocational skill level from specific sections pertaining to education.  We also propose to add language regarding the relationship between skill level and education.  Additionally, we propose to clarify the definitions of "education" and "limited education" and introduce a rebuttable presumption that a claimant's education level is commensurate with his or her formal schooling.  We believe these changes will result in greater clarity for our adjudicators and reduce the misapplication of our current policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

We use the body system listings at the third step of the sequential evaluation process when we evaluate a claim for disability benefits under title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act. This extension will ensure that we continue to have the medical evaluation criteria in the listings needed to adjudicate disability claims.  Other than extending the effective date, we have not revised the listing.]]></ABSTRACT>
