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 The alternative would be to continue to work with the disjointed, outdated part 3015.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

        <RULE_TITLE>Export Credit Guarantee Programs: Elimination of Intermediate Term Guarantee (GSM-103) Program and Supplier Credit Guarantee Program; Amend Regulations for Export Credit Guarantee (GSM-102) Program </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the provisions of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, the proposed rule 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 rule.  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 will add and refine definitions within the regulations and clarify the examples provided within the regulations on claims and pro-rata payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TAA for Farmers provides free technical assistance in the development of business plans to producers of raw agricultural commodities who have been adversely affected by import competition.  The plans are to serve as a guide for adjusting business operations to new economic conditions.  TAA for Farmers also provides cash payments related to the development and implementation of an initial business plan and then long-term business adjustment plans. 

The revision of the existing regulation is necessary to comply with provisions under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which amends and reauthorizes the program.  The new law changes eligibility requirements for groups of producers, benefits individual producers may receive, amounts of cash payments received, and the actions that must be taken before approval of cash payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Financing Poultry and Livestock Contract Grower Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is preparing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) to request comments on what regulatory changes, if any, FSA should make to its loan regulations to address the impacts of recent changes in market conditions for poultry and swine contract growers and integrators.

Poultry and pork integrators are companies that use contract growers to raise poultry or swine, and process and market poultry and pork products.  Recent increases in energy and feed costs, accompanied by reduced demand, have reduced integrator profit margins and returns.  Some integrators have closed processing plants and not renewed grower contracts, or renewed contracts for fewer years.  Many contract growers have FSA direct or guaranteed loans.  Typically, the loans to finance the construction of grower facilities have a term of 15 years, but the contracts are for fewer years.  Before the loan is repaid, integrators have required costly additional capital improvements or declined to renew the contract, thus reducing the ability of the grower to repay the loan.  These market conditions have resulted in multiple farm failures and significant losses to the growers, lenders and FSA.  FSA has seen defaults in its portfolio of loans in these industries increase and anticipates that this trend of loan losses will continue.  The ANPR will allow the public to provide input on the role FSA loan programs should have  in financing in the poultry and pork integrator industries, and to suggest potential changes to the FSA loan program regulations.]]></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>Agriculture Priorities and Allocations System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to establish a system of priority performance contracts and allocations of certain agriculture-related resources, as necessary, to meet national defense priorities.  Current Department of Agriculture "stand-by" procedures to implement this authority are out of date and generally inadequate to meet Government or National needs should a situation arise that calls for exercise of the authority.  As a result, the Farm Service Agency is 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. The new Agriculture Priorities and Allocation System (APAS) regulations will be similar to the Department of Commerce's Defense Priorities and Allocation System (DPAS) for establishing priority ratings for contract performance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the regulations to implement the provisions of the 2002 Farm Bill relating to the establishment of FSA county, area, and local committees.  The statute provides that committees 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[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[This action will implement 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>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A new regulation will be added 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>

        <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, $7.5 million will be used to make payments to producers of asparagus for fresh market, and the other $7.5 million 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[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 five-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.

The rule establishes a new loan and loan guarantee program to finance qualifying conservation projects.  All guarantees will be at 75 percent of the loan amount.  The applicant must have an acceptable conservation plan that includes the project(s) to be financed.  Preference is given to beginning farmer and socially disadvantaged applicants, conversion to sustainable or organic production practices, and compliance with highly erodible land conservation requirements.  Eligibility for the program is not restricted to those who cannot get credit elsewhere.  The program is not mandatory; appropriations are authorized.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.  If the borrower does not prevail in the claim, the interest, which would have accrued during the moratorium, will be due and offset on the account will be reestablished.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 $1,875 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>

        <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 six steps to three steps for natural disasters, including certain other drought situations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grassroots Source Water Protection Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule was to implement the 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.  

The rulemaking initiative has been withdrawn because it was determined that this initiative could be implemented administratively and rulemaking is not required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Biomass Crop Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A new regulation was added 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 and 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[The regulations in 7 CFR part 1405 provide the Commodity Credit Corporation (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.  One phrase will be removed from one sentence of the regulations that refers to administrative costs incurred by CCC in the collection of the commodity assessment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Basic Provisions and Crop Provisions for the Group Risk Plan (GRP) Common Policy are published in 7 CFR part 407.  The Group Risk Income Protection (GRIP) plan of insurance and the Harvest Revenue Option (HRO), which is an endorsement to the GRIP plan, are programs approved by the FCIC's Board of Directors under section 508(h) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act.  The GRP, GRIP, and GRIP-HRO products have many duplicative features between them.  The Risk Management Agency is proposing to replace these two policies and endorsement with one new policy named the Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Energy for America ProgramSection 9007</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Program (section 9006 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA) is being replaced with a new program titled the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), section 9007 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.  The new program will provide grants for energy audits and renewable energy development assistance; grants for renewable energy feasibility studies; and financial assistance for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems.  The program will increase energy independence, promote resource, conservation, diversity markets for agricultural and forestry products, create jobs, and enhance economic development in rural economies.  Eligible entities for energy audits and renewable energy development assistance include units of State, tribal, or local government; an instrumentality of a State, tribal, or local government; land grant or other institutions of higher education; rural electric cooperatives; or public power entities.  Eligible entities for renewable energy feasibility study and financial assistance for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems include agricultural producer or rural small business.  The 2008 Farm Bill directs that at least 20 percent of funds be used for grants of $20,000 or less, up to 10 percent for feasibility studies, and up to 4 percent of mandatory funds for energy audits.  The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS) intends to publish a proposed rule on the changes to RD Instruction 4280-B and to add a new part 4280, subpart C for the Energy Audit and Renewable Energy Development Assistance grant regulations by October 31, 2010, with a 60-day comment period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance ProgramSection 6022</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) establishes the Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program (Section 6022).  The 2008 Farm Bill mandates that the Secretary of Agriculture establish a program to make loans and grants to support microentrepreneurs in the development and ongoing success of rural microenterprises.  The Act further mandates that entities will used funds borrowed from the Rural Business Service to make microloans of not more than $50,000 to rural microenterprises for eligible purposes; that the Agency will make grants to provide business based training and technical assistance; and that the Agency will provide funding to improve the capacity of rural Microenterprise Development Organizations (MDOs) to provide services to rural microenterprise clients.   

Upon enactment of the 2008 Farm Bill, a committee was formed to discuss policy, implementation, and processes needed to move the program forward.  In mid-January 2009, a listening forum was held at USDA.  The object of the listening forum was to allow public comment regarding the statute and to obtain opinions regarding the implementation of the program.  The proposed rule was published in October 2009, with a 45-day public comment period. Comments to the proposed rule were reviewed and incorporated into the interim rule which was published on May 28, 2010, with a 60-day comment period.

No changes are discussed in this document as it is being written prior to publication of the final rule.  

This program will require a complete final set of regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Business Contracts for Payments for the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels--Section 9005</RULE_TITLE>
        <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, diversity 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 quality of production of biofuel produced by an eligible producer, the net renewable energy content of the advanced biofuel, and other appropriate factors as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture.

The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS) published a proposed rule in the Federal Register on April 16, 2010, with the comment period ending June 15, 2010.  RBS intends to publish the interim rule by September 30, 2010, with a 30-day effective date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency proposes to modify 7 CFR part 4284, subpart J, to include the definitions for  mid-tier value chain and value-added agricultural product to include an agricultural commodity or product that is aggregated and marketed as a locally produced agricultural food product.  Additionally, the proposed rule will expand the grant term not to exceed 3 years; implement a simplified application process for project proposals less than $50,000; provide for priority to projects that increase opportunities for beginning farmers or ranchers, socially disadvantaged farmers or ranchers, and operators of small- and medium sized farms and ranches that are structured as a family farm; and implement a reservation of funds for projects to benefit beginning farmers or ranchers, socially disadvantaged farmers or ranchers, and mid-tier value chains.

The Agency is also proposing to amend 7 CFR part 1951, subpart E, to allow the delegation of the servicing of the program to USDA State Office personnel.]]></ABSTRACT>

It is expected that all of the changes will result in time and resource savings to the applicant and the Agency. Publication of the final rule is crucial to program implementation. The program will directly create new businesses, assist with the expansion of existing businesses, create jobs, increase the flow of tax dollars to rural communities, and add lasting value in terms of rural community impact.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The program was authorized by the Agriculture Risk Protection Act of 2000, section 231 (Pub. L. 106-224). The purpose of the Value Added Producer Grant (VAPG) program is to help eligible independent producers of agricultural commodities, agricultural producer groups, farmer and rancher cooperatives, and majority-owned, producer-based business ventures develop business plans for viable marketing opportunities and develop strategies to create marketing opportunities.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[An alternative is to continue under the interim rule.  The interim rule is scheduled to be published and remain in effect until a final rule is adopted.

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Costs:  
The anticipated costs associated with this process are contract services.  An exact dollar amount cannot be determined at this time, but it will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more.

No change in FTE needs is anticipated.  

Minimal automation changes are anticipated.  

Benefits: 
The intended action is to fine tune the program regulations, making them easier to use for the public and Agency staff, while incorporate changes designed to reduce the cost to the Government and the subsidy rate.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Program risks include risk of loss in the loans guaranteed under this program. We anticipate mitigating these risks with improved regulatory and administrative guidance and appropriate training.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Business Investment Program (Non-Leveraged)Farm Bill</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Rural Development proposes to promulgate an interim rule for the purpose of facilitating non-leveraged Rural Business Investment Companies. The interim rule will be promulgated as a new subpart to 7 CFR Part 4290, as part of a strategy to help unlock the potential power that rural equity has to finance rural development in a manner that will help rural residents share in the benefits of the economic growth potential of rural America. 7 CFR was published in the Federal Register June 8, 2004.

On March 29, 2007, Rural Development published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking public input regarding the possibility of operating the Program, in light of the loss of funding as a result of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2006, to provide for non-leveraged Rural Business Investment Companies (RBICs). As a result of the public comments received and statutory modifications provided in the 2008 Farm Bill, Rural Development intends to publish an interim rule for non-leveraged RBICs described above.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Broadband Access Loans and Loan Guarantees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) into law. The essential goal of the Recovery Act is to provide a "direct fiscal boost to help lift our Nation from the greatest economic crisis in our lifetimes and lay the foundation for future growth." The Recovery Act expanded Rural Utilities Service's (RUS') existing authority to make loans and provides new authority to make grants to facilitate broadband deployment in rural areas. RUS has been tasked with the time-sensitive priority of developing the regulation for this new authority.  The Agency will, however, also continue to develop a final rule for the Broadband Program as authorized by The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, Public Law 107-171 (2002 Farm Bill).  

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 unserved or underserved communities. In response, the RUS, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture, 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 and underserved markets based on service availability and existing competitors and target unserved in 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 new statutory requirements provided in the 2008 Farm Bill, thus requiring further rulemaking activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Since the Broadband Loan Program's inception, the Agency has faced and continues to face significant challenges in administering the program, including the fierce competitive nature of the broadband market, the fact that many companies proposing to offer broadband service are start-up organizations with limited resources, continually evolving technology, and economic factors such as the higher cost of serving rural communities.  Because of these challenges, the Agency has been reviewing the characteristics of the Broadband Loan Program and has determined that modifications are required to accelerate the deployment of broadband service to the rural areas of the country.

The Broadband Loan Program is important to the revitalization of our rural communities and their economies.  A lack of private capital has been cited as a reason for slow broadband deployment.  However, an adequate supply of investment capital alone may not be sufficient to universally deploy broadband facilities in rural Americaprimarily due to the high cost of deployment outside of more densely populated areas.  Due to market uncertainties and risks associated with startup ventures, non-Federal sources of funding are restricting and raising the cost of capital, particularly in costly rural markets.  Better access to low-cost capital is a primary initiative of this program in facilitating an increase in the rate of rural broadband deployment.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[On May 13, 2002, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, Public Law 107-171 ("2002 Farm Bill"), was signed into law.  Title VI of the Farm Bill authorized the Agency to approve loans and loan guarantees for the costs of construction, improvement, and acquisition of facilities and equipment for broadband service in eligible rural communities.  On June 18, 2008, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 ("2008 Farm Bill") became law, significantly changing the statutory requirements of the Broadband Loan Program. As such, the Agency will be issuing a Interim Rule that implements the statutory changes and requests comment on sections of the rule that were not part of the Proposed Rule published in May 2007.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The program costs associated with lending activity are relatively low.  The average subsidy rate since the program's inception is 2.4 percent, or $24,000 in appropriated budget authority for every $1 million in loans.  The residents and businesses of rural communities are the beneficiaries.  Rural Development is responsible for helping rural America transition from an agricultural base economy to a platform for new business and economic opportunity.  Rural Development seeks to leverage its financial resources with private investment to facilitate the development of the changing rural economy.  The Broadband Loan Program provides rural America with the platform on which to achieve these goals.  With access to the same advanced telecommunications networks as its urban counterparts, especially broadband networks designed to accommodate distance learning, telework, and telemedicine, rural America will eventually see improving educational opportunities, health care, economies, safety and security, and ultimately higher employment.  The Agency shares the assessment of Congress, State and local officials, industry representatives, and rural residents that broadband service is a critical component to the future of rural America.  The Agency is committed to ensuring that rural America will have access to affordable, reliable, broadband services, and to provide a healthy, safe and prosperous place to live and work.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Building broadband infrastructure in sparsely populated rural communities is very capital intensive.  The Broadband Loan Program continues to face risk factors that pose challenges in ensuring that proposed projects can and do deliver robust, affordable broadband services to rural consumers.  These factors include the competitive nature of the broadband market, the fact that many companies proposing to offer broadband service are start-up organizations with limited resources, rapidly evolving technology, and economic factors such as the higher cost of serving rural communities.  While many of the smallest rural communities understand the importance of broadband infrastructure to their economic development, they often have difficulty attracting service providers to their communities.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Utilities Service, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture, is proposing to amend the requirements established for emergency restoration plans, currently mandated for all Electric Borrowers, to include awareness of the requirements established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for public assistance grant eligibility in the event of a declared disaster.  This "awareness of requirements" should consist of borrower personnel reading and becoming familiar with FEMA public assistance grant requirements.  The amendment should operate to ensure that Electric Program borrowers maintain their eligibility for financial aid from FEMA in the event they incur costs for disaster-related system repair and restoration of borrower-owned electric lines.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rulemaking amends 7 CFR 1710.114 (b)(4) to establish levels for financial coverage ratios for distribution borrowers that have in service or under construction generation and transmission (G&T) assets in excess of 15 percent of total assets and request such reduced financial coverage ratios. It would also delete the requirement that the generation and transmission plant eligible for consideration be financed at a cost of capital substantially higher than the cost of funds under section 305 of the Rural Electrification Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service intends to publish a proposed rule to effectuate a comprehensive civil rights regulation implementing the following laws: The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA); title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (The Fair Housing Act); section 504 Federally Conducted and Federally Assisted Programs; title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; Age Discrimination Act of 1975; and Executive Orders 11246 and 12898 (Environmental Justice). The revised regulations will provide detailed guidelines for field offices for improved enforcement and compliance with these laws, which heavily impact the Rural Housing Service'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>

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>

This Rural Development regulation will replace 7 CFR 1794, the current Utilities environmental regulation, 7 CFR 1940-G, the current Housing/Business environmental regulation, 7 CFR 1901-F, the current Historic Preservation regulation, and 7 CFR part 1940-J, the current Intergovernmental Review regulation.  

This consolidation effort will produce a single user-friendly tool to help the program constituents, rural communities, and Rural Development staff and bring the environmental requirements of Agency actions in line with the environmental requirements of other Federal programs for similar actions.  This rule consists of subparts A through O.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service is amending its 1924-A regulation to be consistent with other current Agency requirements and Federal agency criteria.  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; and 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 regulations 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.

(1) 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.

(2) Add language to clarify the type of Construction Management acceptable to the Agency. Since Construction Management was placed in the regulation in the 1970s, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program--Continuous GuaranteeUni-GRRHP</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service intends to add a section to regulation 7 CFR part 3565 to include a new guarantee product, "The Uni-GRRHP."  After extensive consultation with our internal and external stakeholders and researching current and projected future industry practices, it became clear that the product we are proposing to add is wanted and needed by the stakeholders we serve.  Currently we offer a "combination guarantee" that offers one guarantee to cover construction advances only and that ends upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The construction guarantee is complemented with a second guarantee on the permanent financing that is issued only after certain regulatory requirements are met.  This two-step combination guarantee has served the program well, even though there is generally a gap in coverage between the construction and permanent financing phases.  

The stakeholders were concerned about this gap in coverage and questioned its necessity, particularly in projects where the Government's risk exposure was negligible.  After long and careful analysis, the program decided to test the viability of a continuous guarantee, the Uni-GRRHP, on a demonstration basis.  The Uni-GRRHP's cradle-to-grave guarantee would be offered to project proposals that met a set of specific, more risk adverse criteria, including loan to cost (LTC) ratios of 50 percent or less.  The main thrust of this demonstration would be to establish and test the criteria, process, and procedures under which only one Loan Note Guarantee that will be issued at closing and remain in force throughout the construction and permanent financing phases of the project.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Multi-Family Housing (MFH) Reinvention</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The new regulation for the program known as the Multi-Family Housing Loan and Grant Programs will be more user-friendly for lenders, borrowers, and Agency staff. These changes are essential to allow for improved service to the public and for an expanded program with increased impact on rural housing opportunities without a corresponding expansion in Agency staff. The regulations will be shorter, better organized, and more simple and clear. Many documentation requirements will be eliminated or consolidated into more convenient formats.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The existing statutory authority for the MFH programs was established in title V of the Housing Act of 1949, which gave authority to the RHS (then the Farmers Home Administration) to make housing loans to farmers. As a result of this Act, the Agency established single-family and multi-family housing programs. Over time, the sections of the Housing Act of 1949 addressing MFH have been amended a number of times. Amendments have involved issues such as the provision of interest credit, broadening definitions of eligible areas and populations to be served, participation of limited profit entities, the establishment of a rental assistance program, and the imposition of a number of restrictive use provisions and prepayment restrictions.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[To not publish the rule would substantially restrict RHS' ability to effectively administer the programs and cost the Agency significant credibility with the public and oversight organizations.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Based on analysis of the proposed rule, the following impacts may occur, some of which could be considered significant:

There would be cost savings due to reduced paperwork, estimated to be about $1.8 million annually for the public and about $10.1 million for the Government.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Without the streamlining, there will be a decrease in the ability of the Agency to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing to program beneficiaries.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recapture of Total Subsidy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Recovery of some or the entire payment subsidy provided to direct single-family housing borrowers, or "recapture," is provided for by statute in 42 U.S.C. 1490a (a)(l)(D). The statute gives the Secretary broad discretion in the determining the amount of the subsidy recapture.
 
Borrowers with loans approved or assumed on or after October 1, 1979, are required to repay subsidy amounts received through payment subsidy or deferred mortgage assistance.  Amounts to be recaptured are due and payable when the borrower transfers title or ceases to occupy the property.

The Agency proposes to revise 7 CFR 3550.162 by reinstating language that allows for full repayment of the entire subsidy in the event of foreclosure or voluntary conveyance as was originally provided for in the first recapture regulation promulgated on October 1, 1979.  This language was inadvertently omitted when regulations were revised on November 22, 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Maximum Interest Rate Cap Guidance and Documentation Requirements for the Single Family Housnig Guaranteed Loan Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service plans to publish a proposed rule to modify 7 CFR part 1980, subpart D, sections 1980.308, 1980.320 and 1980.353(c)(4).    

Section 1980.308 would be modified to include lender indemnification requirements for originating lenders.  Specifically, when the Rural Housing Service pays a claim under the guarantee for a loan that was not originated in accordance with program requirements, the Rural Housing Service may seek indemnification from the originating lender for the Agencys loss.  This change will allow the government to recoup the funds it pays out in the event of a claim under the guarantee when the original lender did not comply with program requirements.   

Section 1980.320 and 1980.353 (c) (4) would be amended to eliminate the lenders published VA rate for first mortgage loans with no discount points as an interest rate option for the Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program.  The purpose of this change is to create a uniform maximum interest rate requirement, whereby lenders would always use the current Fannie Mae rate as defined in section 1980.302.  The current Fannie Mae rate will become the sole interest rate option utilized by lenders when locking the interest rates for Guaranteed Loans.  The Fannie Mae rate is the most widely utilized interest rate by approved lenders, and is also the most accessible to lenders and the Rural Housing Service when documenting loan files to ensure affordable interest rates are extended to Guaranteed Loan Program borrowers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[RHS intends to publish a Direct Final Rule to revise 7 CFR 1942, subpart A, the Community Facilities Direct and Guaranteed Loan and Grant Program, to change the definition of rural area in accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill rural area definition at 7 U.S.C. 1991(a)(13)(A). 

RHS will also be revising the rural area definition in accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill of 7 CFR 1942, subpart C, Community Facility loans for fire and rescue, and other small essential community facility loans; 7 CFR 3570, subpart B section 3570.53 and part 3575, subpart A, section 3575.2.  

The current definition states, For essential community facilities, the terms rural and rural area will not include any area in any city or town with a population in excess of 20,000 inhabitants, according to the latest decennial Census of the United States.

In accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill definition, the proposed new definition will state, The terms rural and rural area mean any area other than a city, town, or unincorporated area that has a population of greater than 20,000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implement Two New Loss Mitigation Authorities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Section 502 Single Family Guaranteed Loan Program intends to publish a final rule to revise sections 1980.302 and 1980.373 to  incorporate two new loss mitigation authorities that were granted through the passage of Bill S896 (Pub. L. 111-22). The forty year loan amortization authority allows for an existing Section 502 Single Family Guaranteed Loan Program loan to have its maturity date extended up to forty years from the date of loan modification to increase the affordability of the borrowers monthly mortgage payment.  The partial claim (Mortgage Recovery Advance) authority allows for the capitalzation of up to 12 months mortgage payments to include principal, interest, taxes, and insurance, and foreclosure costs, not to exceed 30 percent of the unpaid principal balance.  The Mortgage Recovery Advance will be a recorded lien in subordinate priority to the existing first trust lien.  No interest will accrue on the Mortgage Recovery Advance.  The payment of the Mortgage Recovery Advance is not due until:

(i) the maturity of the modified mortgage, 
(ii) a sale of the property, or 
(iii) a pay-off or refinancing of the mortgage.  There will be no monthly payment required from the borrower.

Additionally, the Section 502 Single Family Guaranteed Loan Program is enhancing its current loan modification policy to allow for the capitalization of legal fees and foreclosure costs related to a canceled action into the modified principal balance. The existing policy allows for the capitalization of principal, interest, taxes and insurance amounts in the modified loan amount.]]></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>

While the definition of animal in the regulations contained in 9 CFR part 1 has excluded rats of the genus Rattus and mice of the genus Mus bred for use in research, that definition has also excluded all birds (i.e., not just those birds bred for use in research). In line with this change to the definition of animal in the AWA, APHIS intends to establish standards in 9 CFR part 3 for the humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of birds other than those birds bred for use in research and to revise the regulations in 9 CFR parts 1 and 2 to make them applicable to birds.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; Importation of Bovines and Bovine Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. This rulemaking would also address public comments received in response to a September 2008 request for comments regarding certain provisions of an APHIS January 2005 final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia; Interstate Movement and Import Restrictions on Certain Live Fish</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are establishing 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. Viral hemorrhagic septicemia has been 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. This proposed rule replaces a previously published but not effective interim rule that contained substantially different restrictions on the interstate movement and importation of VHS-susceptible live fish.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Plant Pest Regulations; Update of General Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to revise our regulations regarding the movement of plant pests. We are proposing to regulate the movement of not only plant pests, but also biological control organisms and associated articles. We are proposing risk-based criteria regarding the movement of biological control organisms, and are proposing to exempt certain types of plant pests from permitting requirements for their interstate movement and movement for environmental release. We are also proposing to revise our regulations regarding the movement of soil, and to establish regulations governing the biocontainment facilities in which plant pests, biological control organisms, and associated articles are held. This proposed rule replaces a previously published proposed rule, which we are withdrawing as part of this document. This proposal would clarify the factors that would be considered when assessing the risks associated with the movement of certain organisms, facilitate the movement of regulated organisms and articles in a manner that also protects U.S. agriculture, and address gaps in the current regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[APHIS is preparing a proposed rule to revise its regulations regarding the movement of plant pests. The revised regulations would address the importation and interstate movement of plant pests, biological control organisms, and associated articles and the release into the environment of biological control organisms. The revision would also address the movement of soil and establish regulations governing the biocontainment facilities in which plant pests, biological control organisms, and associated articles are held. This proposal would clarify the factors that would be considered when assessing the risks associated with the movement of certain organisms, facilitate the movement of regulated organisms and articles in a manner that also protects U.S. agriculture, and address gaps in the current regulations.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under section 411(a) of the Plant Protection Act (PPA), no person shall import, enter, export, or move in interstate commerce any plant pest, unless the importation, entry, exportation, or movement is authorized under a general or specific permit and in accordance with such regulations as the Secretary of Agriculture may issue to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States or the dissemination of plant pests within the United States.

Under section 412 of the PPA, the Secretary may restrict the importation or movement in interstate commerce of biological control organisms by requiring the organisms to be accompanied by a permit authorizing such movement and by subjecting the organisms to quarantine conditions or other remedial measures deemed necessary to prevent the spread of plant pests or noxious weeds. That same section of the PPA also gives the Secretary explicit authority to regulate the movement of associated articles.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The alternatives we considered were taking no action at this time or implementing a comprehensive risk reduction plan. This latter alternative would be characterized as a broad risk mitigation strategy that could involve various options such as increased inspection, regulations specific to a certain organism or group of related organisms, or extensive biocontainment requirements. 

We decided against the first alternative because leaving the regulations unchanged would not address the needs identified immediately above. We decided against the latter alternative, because available scientific information, personnel, and resources suggest that it would be impracticable at this time.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Undetermined at this time.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Unless we issue such a proposal, the regulations will not provide a clear protocol for obtaining permits that authorize the movement and environmental release of biological control organisms. This, in turn, could impede research to explore biological control options for various plant pests and noxious weeds known to exist within the United States, and could indirectly lead to the further dissemination of such pests and weeds.  

Moreover, unless we revise the soil regulations, certain provisions in the regulations will not adequately address the risk to plants, plant parts, and plant products within the United States that such soil might present.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations regarding the importation of cattle to exempt cattle imported from Australia from testing for bovine tuberculosis prior to their export to the United States. We have determined that cattle imported from Australia present a negligible risk of introducing bovine tuberculosis into the United States. This action would relieve certain testing requirements for cattle imported from Australia while continuing to protect against the introduction of communicable diseases of cattle into the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act regulations concerning expiration dating to clarify that the expiration date of a serial or subserial of a veterinary biologic should be computed from the date of the initiation of the first potency test. It would also require the expiration dating period (stability) of a product to be confirmed by conducting a real-time stability study with a stability-indicating assay; require stability monitoring of products after licensing; and specify a single standard for determining the expiration date for veterinary biologics in place of the current standard that specifies different procedures for products contingent upon whether they consist of viable or nonviable organisms. These amendments would update and clarify the regulations concerning expiration dating and establish a single uniform standard for determining the stability of veterinary biological products. This proposed rule replaces a previously published proposed rule, which we are withdrawing as part of this document.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and Scrapie; Importation of Small Ruminants and Their Germplasm, Products, and Byproducts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and scrapie regulations regarding the importation of live sheep, goats, and wild ruminants and their embryos, semen, products, and byproducts. Some countries from which such imports would be allowed under this rule are currently those from which the importation of live sheep, goats, wild ruminants, their embryos, and ruminant products and byproducts are prohibited under existing BSE regulations. Some products would be allowed importation without restriction due to the inherent lack of BSE risk regarding the product. Certain other products and live animals would be allowed importation if it can be certified that the live animals or the animals from which the products were derived were born after implementation of an effective feed ban. The proposed scrapie revisions regarding the importation of sheep, goats, and susceptible wild ruminants for other than immediate slaughter are similar to those recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health in restricting the importation of such animals to those from scrapie-free regions or certified scrapie-free flocks.]]></ABSTRACT>

In addition, it would amend the regulations concerning the number of labels or label sketches for experimental products required to be submitted for review and approval, and the recommended storage temperature for veterinary biologics at licensed establishments. These proposed amendments are necessary in order to update and clarify labeling requirements and ensure that information provided in labeling is accurate with regard to the expected performance of the product.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Preventing and controlling animal disease is the cornerstone of protecting American animal agriculture. While ranchers and farmers work hard to protect their animals and their livelihoods, there is never a guarantee that their animals will be spared from disease. To support their efforts, USDA has enacted regulations to prevent, control, and eradicate disease, and to increase foreign and domestic confidence in the safety of animals and animal products. Traceability helps give that reassurance. Traceability does not prevent disease, but knowing where diseased and at-risk animals are, where they have been, and when, is indispensable in emergency response and in ongoing disease programs. The primary objectives of these proposed regulations are to improve our ability to trace livestock in the event that disease is found and to provide national standards to ensure the smooth flow of livestock in interstate commerce, while also allowing States and tribes the flexibility to develop systems for tracing animals within their State and tribal lands that work best for them.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture may prohibit or restrict the interstate movement of any animal to prevent the introduction or dissemination of any pest or disease of livestock, and may carry out operations and measures to detect, control, or eradicate any pest or disease of livestock. The Secretary may promulgate such regulations as may be necessary to carry out the Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As part of its ongoing efforts to safeguard animal health, APHIS initiated implementation of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) in 2004. More recently, the Agency launched an effort to assess the level of acceptance of NAIS through meetings with the Secretary, listening sessions in 14 cities, and public comments.  Although there was some support for NAIS, the vast majority of participants were highly critical of the program and of USDA's implementation efforts. The feedback revealed that NAIS has become a barrier to achieving meaningful animal disease traceability in the United States in partnership with Americas producers. 

The option we are proposing pertains strictly to interstate movement and gives States and tribes the flexibility to identify and implement the traceability approaches that work best for them.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[A workable and effective animal traceability system would enhance animal health programs, leading to more secure market access and other societal gains. Traceability can reduce the cost of disease outbreaks, minimizing losses to producers and industries by enabling current and previous locations of potentially exposed animals to be readily identified. Trade benefits can include increased competitiveness in global markets generally, and when outbreaks do occur, the mitigation of export market losses through regionalization. Markets benefit through more efficient and timely epidemiological investigation of animal health issues. Other societal benefits include improved animal welfare during natural disasters.
    
Costs of an animal traceability system would include those for tags and tagging and would vary, depending on the method of identification chosen (e.g., metal tags vs. microchip implants). Costs are expected to vary by both type of operation and whether traceability would be by individual animal or by lot or group. Per head costs of traceability programs for the principal farm animals are estimated to be highest for cattle operations, followed by sheep, swine, and poultry operations. Larger operations would likely reap economies of scale, that is, incur lower costs per head than smaller operations.  However, there will be exemptions for small producers who raise animals to feed themselves, their families, and their immediate neighbors. In addition, only operations moving livestock interstate would be required to comply with the regulations.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rulemaking is being undertaken to address the animal health risks posed by gaps in the existing regulations concerning identification of livestock being moved interstate. The current lack of a comprehensive animal traceability program is impairing our ability to trace animals that may be affected with disease.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Plants for Planting; Establishing a New Category of Plants for Planting Not Authorized for Importation Pending Pest Risk Analysis</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the regulations to establish a new category of regulated articles in the regulations governing the importation of nursery stock, also known as plants for planting. This category will list taxa of plants for planting whose importation is not authorized pending pest risk analysis. If scientific evidence indicates that a taxon of plants for planting is a quarantine pest or a host of a quarantine pest, we will publish a notice that will announce our determination that the taxon is a quarantine pest or a host of a quarantine pest, cite the scientific evidence we considered in making this determination, and give the public an opportunity to comment on our determination. If we receive no comments that change our determination, the taxon will subsequently be added to the new category. We will allow any person to petition for a pest risk analysis to be conducted for a taxon that has been added to the new category. After the pest risk analysis is completed, we will remove the taxon from the category and allow its importation subject to general requirements, allow its importation subject to specific restrictions, or prohibit its importation. We will consider applications for permits to import small quantities of germplasm from taxa whose importation is not authorized pending pest risk analysis, for experimental or scientific purposes under controlled conditions.  This new category will allow us to take prompt action on evidence that the importation of a taxon of plants for planting poses a risk while continuing to allow for public participation in the process.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

            <RISKS><![CDATA[In the absence of some action to revise the nursery stock regulations to allow us to better address pest risks, increased introductions of plant pests via imported nursery stock are likely, causing extensive damage to both agricultural and natural plant resources.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations governing the importation of animal byproducts to require that untanned swine hides and skins from regions with African swine fever and bird trophies from regions with exotic Newcastle disease meet certain requirements or go directly to an approved establishment upon importation into the United States. It also sets out certain requirements for the importation of untanned bovine, deer, and other ruminant hides and skins into the United States from Mexico to prevent the spread of bovine babesiosis. These requirements will provide for the importation of these articles under conditions intended to prevent the introduction of African swine fever, bovine babesiosis, and exotic Newcastle disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will 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. These requirements are necessary 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 will 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Phytophthora Ramorum; Quarantine and Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The interim rule amended 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 also updated conditions for the movement of regulated articles of nursery stock from quarantined areas, as well as restricted the interstate movement of all other nursery stock from nurseries in quarantined areas. We also updated the list of plants regulated because of P. ramorum and the list of areas that are quarantined for P. ramorum and made 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>

        <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>Animal Welfare; Climatic and Environmental Conditions for Transportation of Warm-Blooded 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 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 warm-blooded 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Agricultural Bioterrorism Protection Act of 2002; Biennial Review and Republication of the Select Agent and Toxin List; Reorganization of the Select Agent and Toxin List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the Agricultural Bioterrorism Protection Act of 2002, we are soliciting public comment regarding the list of select agents and toxins that have the potential to pose a severe threat to animal or plant health, or to animal or plant products. The Act requires the biennial review and republication of the list of select agents and toxins and the revision of the list as necessary. Accordingly, we are soliciting public comment on the current list of select agents and toxins in our regulations and suggestions regarding any additional animal or plant pathogens not currently listed that might be considered for inclusion on the lists of select agents and toxins. In addition, we are soliciting public comment on the potential reorganization of the list of select agents and toxins based on the relative potential of each select agent or toxin to be used as a biological weapon. Such tiering of the list would allow for the application of different physical security measures for those select agents or toxins which pose a higher risk to animal or plant health if stolen or otherwise misused.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lacey Act Implementation Plan; Definitions for Exempt and Regulated Articles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to recent amendments to the Lacey Act, we are proposing to establish definitions for the terms "common cultivar" and "common food crop." The amendments to the Act expanded its protections to a broader range of plant species, extended its reach to encompass products, including timber, that are derived from illegally harvested plants, and require that importers submit a declaration at the time of importation for certain plants and plant products. Common cultivars and common food crops are among the categorical exemptions to the provisions of the Act. The Act does not define the terms "common cultivar" and "common food crop," but instead gives authority to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of the Interior to define these terms by regulation. Our proposed definitions would clarify which plants and plant products will be subject to the provisions of the Act, including the declaration requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action follows an interim rule that amended the citrus canker regulations to list the entire State of Florida as a quarantined area for citrus canker and amended 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 also amended 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 were 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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document solicited public comment on regulatory options that could be applied to wood-packaging material (e.g., crates, dunnage, wooden spools, pallets, packing blocks) used in domestic commerce to decrease the risk of the artificial spread of plant pests such as the emerald ash borer and the Asian longhorned beetle. These and other plant pests that could be transported interstate by wood-packaging material pose a serious threat to U.S. agriculture and to natural, cultivated, and urban forests. We also announced our intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on various potential pest mitigation measures and opened a public scoping period for the EIS.]]></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>Fees for Commodity Inspection Services (Excluding Rice)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA proposes to revise the regulations under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 that govern fees charged by GIPSA's Federal Grain Inspection Service for sampling, inspection, weighing, and certification of processed and graded commodities, excluding rice.  At the beginning of FY 2011, GIPSA would increase the hourly rates and unit fees assessed to applicants for inspection by approximately 17 percent.  In addition, the fees assessed to applicants for inspection and laboratory testing services would be increased to reflect the actual cost of providing those services.  GIPSA would also establish a new fee for consultative services not associated with official inspection and weighing services (i.e., foreign travel) that corresponds to an existing fee charged by GIPSA under the United States Grain Standards Act, as amended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Market Agencies Selling on Commission; Purchases From Consignment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA proposes to amend the regulations issued under the Packers and Stockyards Act to describe the circumstances under which a market agency selling livestock on a commission basis, or the owners, officers, agents, employees, or firms in which such individuals have an ownership or financial interest, may purchase livestock from consignments to the market agency.  The amendments would further clarify the circumstances under which a market agency, or those affiliated with a market agency, may purchase livestock.  GIPSA believes that the proposed changes would also modernize the P&S Act regulations and strengthen loyalties between market agencies and their patrons.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA is proposing to revise the regulations about the official grain inspection and weighing service procedures that GIPSA's Federal Grain Inspection Service performs under the authority of the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA) as amended.  Specifically, GIPSA proposes to revise the USGSA regulations to address grain shipped in containers by adding procedures to establish composite and average grades for grain shipped in multiple containers and certified as to grade on one certificate; limit the number of containers that can be averaged or combined into a single lot; indicate the average/composite method on a certificate; restrict the inspection and weighing of container lots to the official service provider's area of responsibility; specify a 60-day retention period for file samples representing container lots; require the application for shiplot inspection to include tolerances or inspection conditions as required by the contract; mandate the use of qualifying statements on inspection certificates for lots graded on average quality basis; and align weighing certification procedures for container lots with those for inspection certification procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In enacting title XI of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill) (Pub. L. 110-246), Congress recognized the nature of problems encountered in the livestock and poultry industries and amended the Packers and Stockyards Act (P&S Act).  These amendments established new requirements for participants in the livestock and poultry industries and required the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) to establish criteria to consider when determining that certain other conduct is in violation of the P&S Act.  

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration's (GIPSA) attempts to enforce the broad prohibitions of the P&S Act have been frustrated, in part because it has not previously defined what conduct constitutes an unfair practice or the giving of an undue preference or advantage.  The new regulations that GIPSA is proposing describe and clarify conduct that violates the P&S Act and allow for more effective and efficient enforcement by GIPSA.  They will clarify conditions for industry compliance with the P&S Act and provide for a fairer market place. 

In accordance with the Farm Bill, GIPSA is proposing regulations under the P&S Act that would clarify when certain conduct in the livestock and poultry industries represents the making or giving of an undue or unreasonable preference or advantage or subjects a person or locality to an undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage.  These proposed regulations also establish criteria that GIPSA will consider in determining whether a live poultry dealer has provided reasonable notice to poultry growers of a suspension of the delivery of birds under a poultry growing arrangement; when a requirement of additional capital investments over the life of a poultry growing arrangement or swine production contract constitutes a violation of the P&S Act; and whether a packer, swine contractor or live poultry dealer has provided a reasonable period of time for a grower or a swine producer to remedy a breach of contract that could lead to termination of the growing arrangement or production contract.

The Farm Bill also instructed the Secretary to promulgate regulations to ensure that poultry growers, swine production contract growers and livestock producers are afforded the opportunity to fully participate in the arbitration process, if they so choose.  We are proposing a required format for providing poultry growers, swine production contract growers, and livestock producers the opportunity to decline the use of arbitration in contracts requiring arbitration.  We are also proposing criteria that we will consider in finding that poultry growers, swine production contract growers, and livestock producers have a meaningful opportunity to participate fully in the arbitration process if they voluntarily agree to do so.  We will use these criteria to assess the overall fairness of the arbitration process.

In addition to proposing regulations in accordance with the Farm Bill, GIPSA is proposing regulations that would prohibit certain conduct because it is unfair, unjustly discriminatory or deceptive, in violation of the P&S Act.  These additional proposed regulations are promulgated under the authority of section 407 of the P&S Act and complement those required by the Farm Bill to help ensure fair trade and competition in the livestock and poultry industries.

These regulations are intended to address the increased use of contracting in the marketing and production of livestock and poultry by entities under the jurisdiction of the P&S Act, and practices that result from the use of market power and alterations in private property rights, which violate the spirit and letter of the P&S Act.  The effect increased contracting has had, and continues to have, on individual agricultural producers has significantly changed the industry and the rural economy as a whole, making these proposed regulations necessary.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 407 of the P&S Act (7 U.S.C. 228) provides that the Secretary may make such rules, regulations, and orders as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act.  Sections 11005 and 11006 of the Farm Bill became effective June 18, 2008, and instruct the Secretary to promulgate additional regulations as described in this notice of proposed rulemaking.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Farm Bill explicitly directs the Secretary to promulgate certain regulations.  GIPSA determined that additional regulations are necessary to provide notice to all regulated entities of types of practices and conduct that GIPSA considers "unfair" so that regulated entities are fully informed of actions or practices that are considered "unfair" and, therefore, prohibited.  Within both the mandatory and discretionary regulatory provisions, we considered alternative options.  

For example, GIPSA considered shorter notice periods in situations when a live poultry dealer suspends delivery of birds to a poultry grower.  These alternatives would not have provided adequate trust and integrity in the livestock and poultry markets.  Other alternatives may have been more restrictive.  We considered prohibiting the use of arbitration to resolve disputes; however, that option goes against a popular method of dispute resolution in other industries and is not in line with the spirit of the 2008 Farm Bill.  GIPSA believes that this proposed rule represents the best option to level the playing field between packers, swine contractors, live poultry dealers, and the Nation's poultry growers, swine production contract growers, or livestock producers for the benefit of more efficient marketing and public good.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Costs:
Costs are aggregated into three major types:  1) Administrative costs, which include items such as office work, postage, filing, and copying; 2) costs of analysis, such as a business conducting a profit-loss analysis; and 3) adjustment costs, such as costs related to changing business behavior to achieve compliance with the proposed regulation. 

Benefits:
Benefits are also aggregated into three major groups: 1) Increased pricing efficiency; 2) allocation efficiency; and 3) competitive efficiency.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Required Scale Tests</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA is amending one section of the regulations under the Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921, as amended and supplemented (P&S Act), regarding the requirement that stockyard owners, market agencies, dealers, packers, and live poultry dealers that weigh livestock, live poultry, or feed, have their scales tested at least twice each calendar year at intervals of approximately 6 months.  This final rule requires that regulated entities complete the first of the two scale tests between January 1 and June 30 of the calendar year.  The remaining scale test must be completed between July 1 and December 31 of the calendar year.  In addition, a minimum period of 120 days will now be required between these two tests.  GIPSA is also including in this final rule an exception for the testing of scales with limited seasonal use.  More frequent testing, however, will still be required in cases where a scale does not maintain accuracy between tests.  Finally, we are amending that same section of the regulations to add "swine contractors" to the list of regulated entities to which the section applies.  GIPSA believes that this final rule will facilitate GIPSA's ability to regulate the business operations of stockyard owners, swine contractors, market agencies, dealers, packers, and live poultry dealers through the effective enforcement of the P&S Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Seed Act Amendments, LS-09-0087</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) routinely reviews its 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.  These changes will continue to help maintain a level playing field for all companies that ship seed in interstate commerce.  In addition, AMS 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 make corrective changes to punctuation and other minor errors.]]></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, 2011.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Christmas Tree Research and Promotion Order (FV-10-0008)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Christmas Tree Promotion, Research, and 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 the demand of Christmas Trees in the United States.  The proposed new program will assist the fresh Christmas tree industry to: develop and finance an effective and coordinated program to strengthen the position of industry; and maintain, develop, and expand existing markets for fresh Christmas trees.  Over the past 15 years, the sales of fresh Christmas trees has decreased from 37 million to 33 million trees.  The decline in sales closely reflects the increase in sales of artificial trees.  It is the hope of the fresh Christmas tree industry that a research and promotion program will help create a well coordinated national campaign to increase the demand of fresh Christmas trees.  The industry has tried voluntary marketing campaigns only to watch them fade when contributors feel they are carrying the weight of the entire industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Wholesale Pork Reporting Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 15, 2010, Congress passed the Mandatory Price Reporting Act of 2010 reauthorizing Livestock Mandatory Reporting for 5 years and adding a provision for mandatory reporting of wholesale pork cuts.  The Act was signed by the President on September 28, 2010.  Congress directed the Secretary to engage in negotiated rulemaking to make required regulatory changes for mandatory wholesale pork reporting.  Further, Congress required that the negotiated rulemaking committee include representatives from (i) organizations representing swine producers; (ii) organizations representing packers of pork, processors of pork, retailers of pork, and buyers of wholesale pork; (iii) the Department of Agriculture; and (iv) among interested parties that participate in swine or pork production.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <LEGAL_DLINE_OVERALL_DESC>With the passage of S. 3656, the Mandatory Price Reporting Act of 2010, the Secretary of Agriculture is required to amend chapter 3 of subtitle B of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 by adding a new section for mandatory reporting of wholesale pork cuts.  To make these amendments, the Secretary was directed to promulgate a final rule no later than one and a half years after the date of the enactment of the Act.  Accordingly, a final rule will be promulgated by March 28, 2012.</LEGAL_DLINE_OVERALL_DESC>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Implementation of mandatory pork reporting is required by Congress.  Congress delegated responsibility to the Secretary for determining what information is necessary and appropriate.   The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-234) directed the Secretary to conduct a study to determine advantages, drawbacks, and potential implementation issues associated with adopting mandatory wholesale pork reporting.  The report from this study generally concluded that voluntary wholesale pork price reporting is thin and becoming thinner, and some degree of support for moving to mandatory price reporting exists at every segment of the industry interviewed.  The report was delivered to Congress on March 25, 2010.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Estimation of costs will follow the previous methodology used in earlier Livestock Mandatory Reporting rulemaking.  The focus of the cost estimation is the burden placed on reporting companies in providing pork marketing data to the Livestock and Seed Program.  Previous rulemaking cost estimates of boxed beef reporting of similar data found the burden to be an annual total of 65 hours in additional reporting requirements per firm.  Because no official USDA grade standards are used in the marketing of pork, and fewer cutting styles, the burden for pork reporting firms in comparison with beef reporting firms could be lower.  However, the impact is not truly known at this stage.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current regulations provide two tracks for replacing dairy animals which are tied to how dairy farmers transition to organic production.  Farmers who transition an entire distinct herd must thereafter replace dairy animals with livestock that has been under organic management from the last third of gestation.  Farmers who do not transition an entire distinct herd may perpetually obtain replacement animals that have been managed organically for 12 months prior to marketing milk or milk products as organic.  The proposed action would eliminate the two track system and require that upon certification, all existing and replacement dairy animals from which milk or milk products are intended to be sold, labeled or represented as organic, must be managed organically from the last third of gestation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards for Condition of Food Containers (FV-08-0027)</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, AMS believes 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 online sampling and inspection.]]></ABSTRACT>

In the referendum, 41 percent of those who voted favored the program and 59 percent opposed the program; and 52 percent of the volume voted favored the program and 48 percent of the volume opposed the program.  Any producer who produced 100,000 pounds or more of honey during the representative period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, was eligible to vote.  Based on the referendum results (must pass by both vote and volume), the Order will be withdrawn and Referendum Procedures terminated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Dairy Promotion and Research Program; Dairy Import Assessments, DA-08-0050</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dairy Act authorizes the Order for dairy product promotion, research, and nutrition education as part of a comprehensive strategy to increase human consumption of milk and dairy products and to reduce milk surpluses.  The program functions to strengthen the dairy industrys position in the marketplace by maintaining and expanding domestic and foreign consumption of fluid milk and dairy products.  Amendments to the Order are pursuant to the 2002 and 2008 Farm Bills.  The 2002 Farm Bill mandates that the Order be amended to implement an assessment on imported dairy products to fund promotion and research.  The 2008 Farm Bill specifies a mandatory assessment rate of 7.5-cent per hundredweight of milk, or equivalent thereof, on dairy products imported into the United States.  Additionally, in accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill, the term United States is the Dairy Act is amended to mean all States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.  Producers in these areas will be assessed 15 cents per hundredweight for all milk produced and marketed.]]></ABSTRACT>

The 2008 Farm Bill authorized the Secretary to issue regulations to implement the mandatory dairy import assessment without providing a notice and comment period.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In response to the May 19, 2009 (74 FR 23359), proposed rule (National Dairy Promotion and Research Program; Proposed Rule on Amendments to the Order), AMS received 189 timely comments from consumers, dairy producers, foreign governments, importers, exporters, manufacturers, members of Congress, trade associations, and other interested parties.

The comments covered a wide range of topics, including 39 in opposition to the proposal and 150 in support of the proposal.  Opponents of the proposal expressed concern over the lack of a referendum requirement among those affected; default assessment rates; lack of ability to no longer promote State-branded dairy products; lack of importer organizations eligible to become a Qualified Program; disputed the cost-benefit analysis for importers and producers; and cited unreasonable importer paperwork and record keeping burdens.

Proponents of the proposal expressed support for an expedited implementation of the dairy import assessment; cited the enhanced benefits both domestic producers and importers will receive as a result of implementation; recommended new Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes; use of a default assessment rate; recommended regular reporting of the products and assessments on imports; and all thresholds for compliance with U.S. trade obligations have been met.

AMS plans to issue a final rule implementing the dairy import assessment in the near future.  In response to the comments received and after consultation with USTR, AMS is addressing, in the final rule, referenda, alternative assessment rates, and compliance and enforcement activity.  All remaining changes are miscellaneous and minor in nature in order to clarify regulatory text.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The National Dairy Promotion and Research Program (National Program) is authorized under the authorized under the provisions of the Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983 (7 U.S.C. 4501 to 4514), and the Dairy Promotion and Research Order (7 CFR part 1150).  The Dairy Programs unit of USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service has daytoday oversight responsibilities for the National Program.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[There are no alternatives, as this rulemaking is a matter of law based on the 2002 and 2008 Farm Bills.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Assessments to dairy producers under the Order are relatively small compared to producer revenue. If dairy producers in Alaska, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico had paid assessments of $0.15 per hundredweight of milk marketed in 2007, it is estimated that $1.1 million would have been paid. This is about 0.6 percent of the $192 million total value of milk produced and marketed in these areas.

Benefits to producers in these areas are assumed to be similar to those benefits received by producers of other U.S. geographical regions. Cornell University has conducted an independent economic analysis of the Program that is included in the annual report to Congress. Cornell determined that from 1998 through 2007, each dollar invested in generic dairy marketing by dairy farmers during the period would return between $5.52 and $5.94, on average, in net revenue to farmers.   

Assessments collected from importers under the National Program will be relatively small compared to the value of dairy imports. If importers had been assessed $0.075 per hundredweight, or equivalent thereof, for imported dairy products in 2007 as specified in this rule, it is estimated that less than $6.1 million would have been paid. This is about 0.3 percent of the $2.4 billion value of the dairy products imported in 2007.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[If the amendments are not implemented, USDA would be in violation of the 2002 and 2008 Farm Bills.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Services' National Organic Program is establishing this guidance document to (1) clarify that the term "organic" may only appear in brand and company names on principal display panels of processed products which qualify for "organic or "100 percent organic" label claims. (2) Clarify product compostion rquirements for the "made with organic" category.  The guidance illustrates that non-organic agricultural ingredients and certain other substances may comprise up to 30 percent of the product. There has been varying interpretations within the organic industry of whether substances which do not appear in the regulations may be used as ingredients or processing aids in/on the non-organic portion of the product.  (3)  Finally, the guidance document advises that a statement of the total organic ingredients cannot be displayed on a label in the absence of a "made with orgnic" statement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Softwood Lumber Research and Promotion Order, Establishing Order (FV-10-0015)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Softwood Lumber Industry's Blue Ribbon Commission (BRC) submitted a proposed Order to help increase the demand for softwood lumber.  Demand for North American lumber has been very volatile with near record consumption in 2005 followed by a decrease in consumption by over 8 billion board feet between 2006 and 2008.  For the softwood lumber industry, supply is relatively inelastic to changes in demand, particularly in the short term. One study estimated that over a decade and thus several cycles, an average one percent drop or increase in demand created a 1.7 percent drop or increase in price.  This shows what a positive effect that a small increase in demand could have on the soft wood lumber industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Organic Program, Amendments to the National List (Methionine), NOP-10-0051</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Servive is amending the National Organic regulations to extend the use of Methionine in organic poultry production until October 2012. The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) has determined that the loss of the use of Methionine, at this time, would disrupt the well-established organic poultry market and cause substantial economic harm to organic poultry operations.  To prevent disruption to the market, while the organic feed sector creates sufficient supplies of wholly natural substitute products, the NOSB has recommended extending the allowed use of Methionine in poultry production until 2012 at the following maximum levels of synthetic methionine per tone in the feed ration: Laying chickens - 4 pounds per ton; Broiler chickens - 5 pounds per ton; and Turkeys and all other poultry - 6 pounds per ton.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Processed Raspberry Promotion, Research, and Information Order, FV-07-0077</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Processed Raspberry Promotion, Research, and Information Order (Order) would be implemented under the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 1996.  The purpose of the new program would be to increase the consumption of processed raspberries in the United States.  The proposed new program will assist the processed raspberry industry to: (1) Develop and finance an effective and coordinated program to strengthen the position of the processed raspberry industry; and (2) maintain, develop, and expand existing markets for processed raspberries.

Over the last 15 years, total domestic production of raspberries delivered to processors has increased modestly while imported raspberries have surged.  It is the hope of the domestic processed raspberry industry that a Research and Promotion Program will help balance the supply and demand, grow the market in the aggregate for all suppliers, and increase the consumption of processed raspberries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 on May 22, 2008, amended the Cotton Research and Promotion Act and designated the States of Kansas, Virginia, and Florida individually in the definition of "cotton-producing State" effective with the 2008 crop of cotton.  The major effect of this change is that any cotton producer organization within a cotton-producing State may request the Secretary of Agriculture for certification to participate in nominating members and alternate members to represent such State on the Cotton Board. The Agricultural Marketing Service published a proposed rule establishing procedures for conducting a referendum in the Federal on June 6, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service is required by legislation to re-calculate and reestablish the user fee by June 1 each yearbefore harvest of the new crop begins.  To meet the mandate that growers pay a uniform fee that truly covers U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) estimated cost of providing services, the USDA established, incorporation with industry new methodology for calculating the 2009 user fee.  For this action, the Agricultural Marketing Services' Budget office has determined that there is no need to adjust the 2010 user fee from the current rate of $2.20 per sample set for the 2009 crop; however, developments affecting the world prices of commodities and the inputs of production will be closely watched until the proposed rule is prepared to ascertain the potential need for adjusting the user fee level.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 (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 safely process shell eggs intended for human consumption or further processing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RPLAN_INFO>
            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The actions being proposed are part of FSIS' regulatory reform effort to improve FSIS' shell egg and egg products food safety regulations, better define the roles of Government and the regulated industry, encourage innovations that will improve food safety, remove unnecessary regulatory burdens on inspected egg products plants, and make the egg products regulations as consistent as possible with the Agency's meat and poultry products regulations.  FSIS also is taking these actions in light of changing inspection priorities and recent findings of Salmonella in pasteurized egg products.

This proposal is directly related to FSIS' PR/HACCP initiative.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This proposed rule is authorized under the Egg Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 1031 to 1056).  It is not the result of any specific mandate by the Congress or a Federal court.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[A team of FSIS economists and food technologists is conducting a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the potential economic impacts of several alternatives on the public, egg products industry, and FSIS. These alternatives include: (1) Taking no regulatory action; (2) requiring all inspected egg products plants to develop, adopt, and implement written sanitation SOPs and HACCP plans; and (3) converting to a lethality-based pathogen reduction performance standard many of the current highly prescriptive egg products processing requirements. The team will consider the effects of a uniform, across-the-board standard for all egg products; a performance standard based on the relative risk of different classes of egg products; and a performance standard based on the relative risks to public health of different production processes.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FSIS is analyzing the potential costs of this proposed rulemaking to industry, FSIS, and other Federal agencies, State and local governments, small entities, and foreign countries.  The expected costs to industry will depend on a number of factors.  These costs include the required lethality, or level of pathogen reduction, and the cost of HACCP plan and sanitation SOP development, implementation, and associated employee training.  The pathogen reduction costs will depend on the amount of reduction sought and on the classes of product, product formulations, or processes.

Relative enforcement costs to FSIS and Food and Drug Administration may change because the two agencies share responsibility for inspection and oversight of the egg industry and a common farm-to-table approach for shell egg and egg products food safety.  Other Federal agencies and local governments are not likely to be affected.

Egg product inspection systems of foreign countries wishing to export egg products to the U.S. must be equivalent to the U.S. system.  FSIS will consult with these countries, as needed, if and when this proposal becomes effective.

This proposal is not likely to have a significant impact on small entities.  The entities that would be directly affected by this proposal would be the approximately 80 federally inspected egg products plants, most of which are small businesses, according to Small Business Administration criteria.  If necessary, FSIS will develop compliance guides to assist these small firms in implementing the proposed requirements.

Potential benefits associated with this rulemaking include: Improvements in human health due to pathogen reduction; improved utilization of FSIS inspection program resources; and cost savings resulting from the flexibility of egg products plants in achieving a lethality-based pathogen reduction performance standard.  Once specific alternatives are identified, economic analysis will identify the quantitative and qualitative benefits associated with each alternative.

Human health benefits from this rulemaking are likely to be small because of the low level of (chiefly post-processing) contamination of pasteurized egg products.  In light of recent scientific studies that raise questions about the efficacy of current regulations, however, it is likely that measurable reductions will be achieved in the risk of foodborne illness.

The preliminary anticipated annualized costs of the proposed action are approximately $7 million.  The preliminary anticipated benefits of the proposed action are approximately $90 million per year.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[FSIS believes that this regulatory action may result in a further reduction in the risks associated with egg products.  The development of a lethality-based pathogen reduction performance standard for egg products, replacing command-and-control regulations, will remove unnecessary regulatory obstacles to, and provide incentives for, innovation to improve the safety of egg products. 

To assess the potential risk-reduction impacts of this rulemaking on the public, an intra-Agency group of scientific and technical experts is conducting a risk management analysis.  The group has been charged with identifying the lethality requirement sufficient to ensure the safety of egg products and the alternative methods for implementing the requirement.  FSIS has developed new risk assessments for Salmonella Enteritidis in eggs and for Salmonella spp. in liquid egg products to evaluate the risk associated with the regulatory alternatives.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will continue an effort initiated several years ago by amending FSIS' 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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued 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 decided to solicit additional public input. FSIS concluded that another round of preliminary comments could help resolve the issues surrounding "natural."  Therefore, the Agency published this ANPRM to solicit more focused comments on the issue.]]></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>

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

        <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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing these regulations to provide for the electronic import system, which will be available through the Agency's Public Health Information System (PHIS), a computerized, Web-based inspection information system. The import system will enable applicants to electronically submit and track import inspection applications that are required for all commercial entries of FSIS regulated products imported in to the U.S.  FSIS inspection program personnel will be able to access the PHIS system to assign appropriate imported product inspection activities.  The electronic import system will also facilitate the foreign imported product and annual foreign establishment certifications by providing immediate and direct electronic government-to-government exchange of information. The Agency is proposing to delete the Canadian streamlined import inspection procedures because they have not been in use since 1990 and are obsolete.  Sanitation SOPs are written procedures establishments develop, implement, and maintain to prevent direct contamination or adulteration of meat or poultry products.   To ensure that imported meat and poultry products do not become contaminated while undergoing reinspection prior to entering the U.S., FSIS is proposing to clarify that official import inspection establishments must develop written Sanitation SOPs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The authorities for this proposed rule are: the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 to 695), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 to 470), Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA)(21 U.S.C. 1031 to 1056) and the regulations that implement these Acts.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The use of the electronic import system is voluntary.  The Agency will continue to accept and process paper import inspection applications, and foreign establishment and foreign imported product certificates.  The Canadian streamlined import inspection procedures are not currently in use.  Proposing Sanitation SOPs in official import inspection establishments will prevent direct contamination or adulteration of product.  Therefore, no alternatives were considered.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Under this proposed rule, the industry will have the option of filing inspection applications electronically and submitting electronic foreign product and establishment certificates through the PHIS.  Since the electronic option is voluntary; applicants and the foreign countries that choose to file electronically will do so only if the benefits outweigh the cost. Sanitation (SOPs) are a condition of approval for official import inspection establishments, and as a requirement for official import inspection establishments to continue to operate under Federal inspection.  The proposed rule will clarify that official import inspection establishments must have developed written Sanitation SOPs before being granted approval and that existing official import inspection establishments must meet Sanitation SOP requirements.  Since, in practice, FSIS has always expected official import inspection establishments to maintain Sanitation SOPs during the reinspection of imported products, the proposed amendment  for these sanitation requirements will have little, if any, cost impact on the industry.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the meat, poultry, and egg product inspection regulations to provide an electronic export application and certification process. FSIS is proposing to charge users for the use of the proposed system. FSIS is also proposing to provide establishments that export meat, poultry, and egg products with flexibility in the official export inspection marks, devices, and certificates. In addition, FSIS is proposing egg product export regulations that parallel the meat and poultry export regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing these regulations to facilitate the electronic processing of export applications and certificates through the Public Health Information System (PHIS), a computerized, Web-based inspection information system.  The current export application and certification regulations provide only for a paper-based process.  This proposed rule will provide this electronic export system as a reimbursable certification service charged to the exporter.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The authorities for this proposed rule are: The Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 to 695), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 to 470), the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1031 to 1056), and the regulations that implement these Acts. FSIS is proposing to charge for the electronic export application and certification system under the Agricultural Marketing Act (7 U.S.C. 1622(h)) that provides the Secretary of Agriculture with the authority to:  "Inspect, certify, and identify the class, quality, quantity, and condition of agricultural products when shipped or received in interstate commerce, under such rules and regulations as the Secretary of Agriculture may prescribe, including assessment and collection of such fees as will be reasonable and as nearly as may be to cover the cost of the service rendered, to the end that agricultural products may be marketed to the best advantage, that trading may be facilitated, and that consumers may be able to obtain the quality product which they desire."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The electronic export applications and certification system is being proposed as a voluntary service, therefore, exporters have the option of continuing to use the current paper-based system.  Therefore, no alternatives were considered.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to charge exporters that choose to utilize the system $90.00 per application submitted. Automating the export application and certification process will facilitate the exportation of U.S. meat, poultry, and egg products by streamlining and automating the processes that are in use while ensuring that foreign regulatory requirements are met. The direct cost to exporters would be approximately $22.5 million to $31.5 million per year, if they choose to file electronically.  However, the total cost to an exporter would depend on the number of electronic applications processed. An exporter that processes only a few applications per year would not be likely to experience a significant economic impact.  Under this proposal, inspection personnel workload is reduced through the elimination of the physical handling and processing of applications and certificates. When an electronic government-to-government system interface or data exchange is used, fraudulent transactions, such as false alterations and reproductions, will be significantly reduced, if not eliminated. The electronic export system is designed to ensure authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality. Exporters will be provided a more efficient and effective application and certification process.  The proposed egg product export regulations provide the same export requirements across all products regulated by FSIS and consistency in the export application and certification process.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Common or Usual Name for Raw Meat and Poultry Products Containing Added Solutions (Enhanced Meat and Poultry Products)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to amend its regulations to establish a common or usual name for raw meat and poultry products to which solutions have been added (known as enhanced products) that do not meet codified standard of identity regulations.  The Agency is proposing that the common or usual name for such products include an accurate description of the single-ingredient meat or poultry component along with the percentage of added solution incorporated into the product.  
FSIS is also proposing that the print for all words in the common or usual name appear in a single font size, color, and style of print and that the name appear on a single-color contrasting background.  In addition, FSIS is proposing that the ingredients that make up the solution in an enhanced product be declared either as part of the product name or in the ingredients statement, listed in descending order of predominance.  The Agency is also proposing to remove the standard of identity for ready-to-cook poultry products to which solutions are added.]]></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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Although FSIS routinely samples and tests some ready-to-eat products for the presence of pathogens prior to distribution, there are no specific regulatory pathogen reduction requirements for most of these products.  The proposed performance standards are necessary to help ensure the safety of these products; give establishments the incentive and flexibility to adopt innovative, science-based food safety processing procedures and controls; and provide objective, measurable standards that can be verified by Agency oversight.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601 to 695) and the Poultry Product Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 451 to 470), FSIS issues regulations governing the production of meat and poultry products prepared for distribution in commerce. The regulations, along with FSIS inspection programs, are designed to ensure that meat and poultry products are safe, not adulterated, and properly marked, labeled, and packaged.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As an alternative to all of the proposed requirements, FSIS considered taking no action. As alternatives to the proposed performance standard requirements, FSIS considered end-product testing and requiring "use-by" date labeling on ready-to-eat products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Benefits are expected to result from fewer contaminated products entering commercial food distribution channels as a result of improved sanitation and process controls and in-plant verification. FSIS believes that the benefits of the rule would exceed the total costs of implementing its provisions.  FSIS currently estimates net benefits from the 2003 interim final rule at $470 to $575 million, with annual recurring costs at $150.4 million, if FSIS discounts the capital cost at 7 percent.  FSIS is continuing to analyze the potential impact of the other provisions of the proposal.

The other main provisions of the proposed rule are: Lethality performance standards for Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 and stabilization performance standards for C. perfringens that firms must meet when producing RTE meat and poultry products. Most of the costs of these requirements would be associated with one-time process performance validation in the first year of implementation of the rule and with revision of HACCP plans. Benefits are expected to result from the entry into commercial food distribution channels of product with lower levels of contamination resulting from improved in-plant process verification and sanitation. Consequently, there will be fewer cases of foodborne illness.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Before FSIS published the proposed rule, FDA and FSIS had estimated that each year L. monocytogenes caused  2,540 cases of foodborne illness, including 500 fatalities.  The Agencies estimated that about 65.3 percent of these cases, or 1660 cases and 322 deaths per year, were attributable to RTE meat and poultry products.  The analysis of the interim final rule on control of L. monocytogenes conservatively estimated that implementation of the rule would lead to an annual reduction of 27.3 deaths and 136.7 illnesses at the median.  FSIS is continuing to analyze data on production volume and Listeria controls in the RTE meat and poultry products industry and is using the FSIS risk assessment model for L. monocytogenes to determine the likely risk reduction effects of the rule.  Preliminary results indicate that the risk reductions being achieved are substantially greater than those estimated in the analysis of the interim rule. 

FSIS is also analyzing the potential risk reductions that might be achieved by implementing the lethality and stabilization performance standards for products that would be subject to the proposed rule.  The risk reductions to be achieved by the proposed rule and that are being achieved by the interim rule are intended to contribute to the Agencys public health protection effort.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nutrition Labeling of Single-Ingredient Products and Ground or Chopped Meat and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS has proposed to amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to require nutrition labeling for the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products, either on their label or at their point-of-purchase, unless an exemption applies.  FSIS also proposed to require nutrition information on the label of ground or chopped meat and poultry products, unless an exemption applies.  The requirements for ground or chopped products will be consistent with those for multi-ingredient products.

FSIS also proposed to amend the nutrition labeling regulations to provide that when a ground or chopped product does not meet the regulatory criteria to be labeled "low fat," a lean percentage claim may be included on the label or in labeling, as long as a statement of the fat percentage also is displayed on the label or in labeling.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Agency will require that nutrition information be provided for the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products, either on their label or at their point of purchase, because during the most recent surveys of retailer, the Agency did not find significant participation in the voluntary nutrition labeling program for single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products.  Ground or chopped products are similar to multi-ingredient products.  This rule is necessary so that consumers can have the information they need to construct healthy diets.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This action is authorized under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601 to 695) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 451 to 470).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[No action; nutrition labels required on all single-ingredient, raw products (major cuts and non-major cuts) and all ground or chopped products; nutrition labels required on all major cuts of single-ingredient, raw products (but not non-major cuts) and all ground or chopped products; nutrition information at the point of purchase required for all single-ingredient, raw products (major and non-major cuts) and for all ground or chopped products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Cost will include the equipment for making labels, labor, and materials used for labels for ground or chopped products.  The cost of providing nutrition labeling for the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products should not be significant, because retail establishments would have the option of providing nutrition information through point-of-purchase materials.

Benefits of the nutrition labeling rule would result consumers modify their diets in response to new nutrition information concerning ground or chopped products and the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw products. Reductions in consumption of fat and cholesterol are associated with reduced incidence of cancer and coronary heart disease.

FSIS has concluded that the quantitative benefits will exceed the quantitative costs of the supplemental proposed rule.  FSIS estimates that the annualized benefits of the proposed rule will range from approximately $185.6 to $230.8 million, using a 7 percent discount rate over 20 years.  FSIS estimates that the annualized costs will range from approximately $26.7 to $44.8 million, using a 7 percent discount rate over 20 years.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have proposed to establish a set of general principles for food standards. The adherence to these principles will result in standards that will better promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers; protect the public; allow for technological advances in food production; be consistent with international food standards; and be clear, simple, and easy to use for both manufacturers and the agencies that enforce compliance with the standards. The proposed general principles will establish the criteria that the agencies will use in considering whether a petition to establish, revise, or eliminate a food standard will be the basis for a proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Classes of Poultry; Updating Poultry Class Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS will amend the official U.S. classes of poultry so that they more accurately and clearly describe the characteristics of poultry in the market today. Poultry classes are defined primarily in terms of age and sex of the bird. Genetic improvements and new poultry management techniques have reduced the grow-out period for some poultry classes while extensive cross breeding has produced poultry with higher meat yields but blurred breed distinctions. This action is being taken to ensure that poultry products are labeled in a truthful and non-misleading manner. The rule will update existing regulations to reflect current poultry characteristics and production practices. Therefore, the impact on the poultry industry is expected to be minimal. ]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal-State Interstate Shipment Cooperative Inspection Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS has proposed 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>

Inspection services for establishments selected to participate in the program will be provided by State inspection personnel that have been trained and certified in the administration and enforcement of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.)  Meat and poultry products produced by establishments selected to participate in the program will bear a Federal mark of inspection.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This action is authorized under section 11015 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill)  (Pub. L. 110-246).  Section 11015 amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.) to establish an optional Federal-State cooperative program under which State-inspected establishments would be permitted to ship meat and poultry products in interstate commerce.  The law requires that FSIS promulgate implementing regulations no later than 18 months after the date of enactment.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[1.  No action:  FSIS did not consider the alternative of no action because section 11015 of the 2008 Farm Bill requires that it promulgate regulations to implement the new Federal-State cooperative program.  The Agency did consider alternatives on how to implement the new program. 

2.  Limit participation in the program to State-inspected establishments with 25 or fewer employees on average: Under the law, State-inspected establishments that have 25 or fewer employees on average are permitted to participate in the program. The law also provides that FSIS may select establishments that employ more than 25 but fewer than 35 employees on average as of June 18, 2008 (the date of enactment), to participate in the program. Under the law, if these establishments employ more than 25 employees on average 3 years after FSIS promulgates implementing regulations, they are required to transition to a Federal establishment.  FSIS rejected the option of limiting the program to establishment that employ 25 or fewer employees on average to give additional small establishments the opportunity to participate in the program and ship their meat and poultry products in interstate commerce. 

3.  Permit establishments with 25 to 35 employees on average as of June 18, 2008, to participate in the program.  FSIS chose the option of permitting these establishments to be selected to participate in the program to give additional small establishments the opportunity to ship their meat and poultry products in interstate commerce.  Under this option, FSIS will develop a procedure to transition any establishment that employs more than 25 people on average to a Federal establishment.  Establishments that employee 24 to 35 employees on average as of June 18, 2008, would be subject to the transition procedure beginning on the date 3 years after the Agency promulgates implementing regulations.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FSIS is analyzing the costs of this proposed rule to industry, FSIS, State and local governments, small entities, and foreign countries.  Participation in the new Federal-State cooperative program will be optional.  Thus, the costs and benefits associated with the proposed rule will depend on the number of States and establishments that choose to participate. Very small and certain small establishments State-inspected establishments that are selected to participate in the program are likely to benefit from the program because they will be permitted sell their products to consumers in other States and foreign countries.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 part 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 administer SNAP.  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 part 275 to update management evaluation systems regulations.  The regulation would propose streamlining the requirements for Federal and State reviews of State agency operations.  It also proposes to revise the definitions of large, medium and small project areas.  This would provide FNS and State agencies flexibility to better target scarce resources, and conduct more effective reviews while maintaining the integrity of the program (08-005).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend the regulations governing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to implement provisions from the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246) (FCEA) concerning the eligibility and certification of SNAP applicants and participants and SNAP employment and training.  In addition, this proposed rule would revise the SNAP regulations throughout 7 CFR part 273 to change the program name from the Food Stamp Program to SNAP and to make other nomenclature changes as mandated by the FCEA.  The statutory effective date of these provisions was October 1, 2008.  Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is also proposing two discretionary revisions to SNAP regulations to provide State agencies options that are currently available only through waivers.  These provisions would allow State agencies to average student work hours and to provide telephone interviews in lieu of face-to-face interviews.  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 6 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![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.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 amended the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) to add section 19, the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP).  Section 19 establishes the FFVP as a permanent national program in a select number of schools in each State, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.  Schools in all States must apply annually for FFVP funding.

This proposed rule would implement statutory requirements currently established through program policy and guidance for operators at the State and local level.  The proposed rule would set forth requirements detailed in the statute for school selection and participation, State agency outreach to needy schools, the yearly application process, and the funding and allocation processes for schools and States.  The proposed rule would also include the statutory per student funding range and the requirement for a program evaluation.

In addition, the proposed rule would establish oversight activity and reporting and recordkeeping requirements that are not included in FFVP statutory requirements.  Implementation of this rule is not expected to result in expenses for program operators because they receive funding to cover food purchases and administrative costs (09-007).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title IV-Part IV:  Program Integrity, section 4132 (Civil Penalties and Disqualification of Retail Food Stores and Wholesale Food Concerns) and section 4131 (Eligibility Disqualification) provisions clarify current intentional Program violation (IPV) regulations to include: (1) The selling of food purchased with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in exchange for case or other considerations; and (2) SNAP recipients buying and intentionally dumping food and beverages purchased with SNAP benefits in exchange for cash redeemed from bottle deposits. These provisions amend 7 CFR part 271.2 to include (1) and (2) above in the definition of trafficking and will work towards strengthening Program operations, integrity and oversight according to the law set forth in the Farm Bill of 2008.

Title IV-Part II:  Food Distribution on Indian Reservations, section 4211(b)(3) (Disqualified Participants) provision prohibits clients from participating in Food Distribution on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) at the same time. It also restricts them from participating in one of these programs if they have been disqualified from the other. The provision does not specify SNAP disqualification timeframes and the severity of penalties. In this regulation, we propose to delineate timeframes and penalties for those who seek to participate in SNAP (09-008).]]></ABSTRACT>

It will define what a major system failure is and explain under what circumstances a State agency will be held liable for an overpayment rather than the client household (09-010).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Automated Data Processing and Information Retrieval System Requirements and Principles for Determining Costs Applicable to State Agency Administration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Proposed Rule would amend the regulations governing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to implement section 4121 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246) (FCEA). This provision adds plans for proper testing to the criteria USDA must apply when deciding whether to approve Federal funding for new State automated systems, including pilot projects in limited areas for major system changes. This Proposed Rule would also revise the SNAP regulations throughout 7 CFR part 277.18 (Establishment of an Automated Data Processing and Information Retrieval System) to provide clarifications and updates, which have occurred since this section was last updated in 1996. In addition, it would remove Appendix A to 7 CFR part 277 (Principles for Determining Costs Applicable to Administration of the Food Stamp Program by State Agencies) and relocate the few sections which need to be retained into other areas within 7 CFR part 277. FNS has not yet estimated the impact on the U.S. economy or the paperwork burden associated with the provisions of this proposed rulemaking (09-011).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance for Victims of Disasters Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of the proposed regulation is to establish procedures for the delivery of the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) by State agencies. The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (FNA) provides authority for the Secretary of Agriculture to establish temporary emergency standards of eligibility for the duration of an emergency for households who are victims of a disaster that disrupts commercial channels of food distribution. The interim D-SNAP regulations at 7 CFR part 280.1 do not expand substantially upon the D-SNAP section of the Food and Nutrition Act. In order to provide detailed guidance to State agencies as they plan, operate, and assess their D-SNAP operation, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) in 1995 developed the "Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Guidance," which provides policy guidance to State administering agencies for all phases of program operations.

A 2007 Office of Inspector General (OIG) report (Audit 27099-49-Te: Disaster Food Stamp Program for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita--Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas--Final Report) found some deficits in the design and review of State D-SNAP plans of operation and inadequate controls to prevent recipient fraud and duplicate participation.  OIG attributed the deficits, in part, to a lack of detailed procedures in regulations and, in response, required FNS to amend D-SNAP policy on those specific topics and to promulgate D-SNAP regulations.

In order to provide detailed guidance to State agencies operating D-SNAP and to address OIG concerns, FNS plans to publish a Proposed Rule for D-SNAP that will codify longstanding policies from the "Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Guidance" and policy changes required by the OIG audit (09-012).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification of Eligibility of Fleeing Felons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6(k) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 provides that a fleeing felon is not eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.  To be considered a fleeing felon, an individual must be either: (1) Fleeing to avoid prosecution, custody or confinement after conviction for committing a crime or attempting to commit a crime that is a felony under the law of the place from which the individual is fleeing (or a high misdemeanor in New Jersey); or (2) violating a condition of probation or parole under Federal or State law.

The fleeing felon provisions of the FNA were originally enacted by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA).  The purpose of the provision was to prohibit fugitive felons who were fleeing from prosecution or imprisonment or violating parole from receiving program benefits.  The statutory language has been construed differently by States as the current law and regulations do not clearly define the term "fleeing."  As a result, implementation of the fleeing felon provisions of the FNA currently varies substantially from State agency to State agency.

In order for the disqualification of fleeing felons to be more uniformly applied by State agencies, section 4112 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246) amended section 6(k) of the FNA to require the Secretary to amend SNAP regulations to define the terms "fleeing" and "actively seeking."  Defining these terms will promote consistency in the treatment of fleeing felons and ensure that individuals are not denied or terminated from SNAP benefits erroneously.

To help formulate the definitions of "fleeing" and "actively seeking," the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) plans to consult with law enforcement officials, client advocates, State agencies, and USDA's Office of General Counsel for guidance and expertise.  In addition, because the fleeing felon provisions apply to other Federal programs under the PRWORA, FNS plans to consult with the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families, which oversees the Temporary Assistance for Need Families Program to ensure the fleeing felon policy is consistent across programs and can be administered effectively (09-015).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: 2008 Farm Bill Provisions on Clarification of Split Issuance; Accrual of Benefits, Interchange Fees, and Definition Updates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 18, 2008, Congress enacted The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246). This law is referred to below as the "2008 Farm Bill."  This rulemaking will propose to implement sections 4113 (Split Issuance), 4114 (Accrual of Benefits), and part of 4115 (Interchange Fees) of the 2008 Farm Bill, which pertain to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit issuance and redemption. The provisions of section 4115 to deobligate coupons and make Electronic Benefit Transfer cards the sole method of benefit delivery will be addressed in a separate rulemaking.

The changes in the rulemaking will be reflected in 7 CFR part 274. In addition, this rulemaking will propose updates to 7 CFR part 271 (General Information and Definitions) to reflect the Program's new name.

All the provisions in this Proposed Rule are nondiscretionary and were effective as of October 1, 2008, per the legislative implementation deadline (09-013).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend regulations for the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) at 7 CFR 253.6.  The changes are intended to improve the administration of FDPIR and service to program applicants and participants, and respond to a resolution passed by the membership of the National Association of Food Distribution Programs on Indian Reservations (NAFDPIR).  The proposed provisions would promote conformity with the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) by aligning FDPIR and SNAP regulations.  The Department is proposing amendments that would:  (1) Expand the current income deduction for Medicare Part B Medical Insurance and Part D Prescription Drug Coverage premiums to include other allowable monthly medical expenses in excess of $35 for households with elderly and /or disabled members, and (2) establish an income deduction for excess shelter expenses.

        <RULE_TITLE>Child and Adult Care Food Program:  Improving Management and Program Integrity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) regulations. The changes in this rule result from the findings of State and Federal program reviews and from audits and investigations conducted by the Office of Inspector General. This rule 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In recent years, State and Federal program reviews have found numerous cases of mismanagement, abuse, and, in some instances, fraud by child care institutions and facilities in the CACFP. These reviews revealed weaknesses in management controls over program operations and examples of regulatory noncompliance by institutions, including failure to pay facilities or failure to pay them in a timely manner; improper use of program funds for non-program expenditures; and improper meal reimbursements due to incorrect meal counts or to mis-characterized or incomplete income eligibility statements. In addition, audits and investigations conducted by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) have raised serious concerns regarding the adequacy of financial and administrative controls in CACFP. Based on its findings, the OIG recommended changes to CACFP review requirements and management controls.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Some of the changes proposed in the rule are discretionary changes being made in response to deficiencies found in program reviews and OIG audits. Other changes codify statutory changes made by the Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-448), the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), and the William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-336).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This proposed interim final rule is under development and alternatives are not yet articulated.  FNS is working with State agencies to identify reasonable alternatives to implement the changes mandated by law.  FNS will be developing extensive guidance materials in conjunction with agency cooperators to meet the objectives of the statute.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rule contains changes designed to improve management and financial integrity in the CACFP. When implemented, these changes would affect all entities in CACFP, from USDA to participating children and children's households. These changes will primarily affect the procedures used by State agencies in reviewing applications submitted by, and monitoring the performance of, institutions which are participating or wish to participate in the CACFP. Those changes which would affect institutions and facilities will not, in the aggregate, have a significant economic impact. 

Data on CACFP integrity is limited, despite numerous OIG reports on individual institutions and facilities that have been deficient in CACFP management. While program reviews and OIG reports clearly illustrate that there are weaknesses in parts of the program regulations and that there have been weaknesses in oversight, neither program reviews, OIG reports, nor any other data sources illustrate the prevalence and magnitude of CACFP fraud and abuse. This lack of information precludes USDA from estimating the amount of money lost due to fraud and abuse or the reduction in fraud and abuse the changes in this rule will realize.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[With the interim final rule in place and operational, risk of integrity problems is reduced.  The final rule will use comments from stakeholders to further improve the rule.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>National School Lunch Program:  Reimbursement for Snacks in Afterschool Care Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 (98-007).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 one 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 (04-018).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Verification of Eligibility for Free and Reduced Priced Meals in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to Public Law 108-265, which amended the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, the verification procedures in 7 CFR 245, Determining Eligibility for Free and Reduced Price Meals and Free Milk in Schools, will be revised to require that:

1.  Local Educational Authorities (LEAs) verify the eligibility of children in a sample of approved free and reduced-price school meal applications.  The basic sample size would be the lesser of 3 percent of all approved applications (as of October 1 of the school year) selected from error prone applications or 3,000 approved error prone applications.  Error prone applications would be those defined as within $100 a month or $1,200 annually of the applicable income limit or, alternately, under criteria set by USDA.  However, local educational agencies that qualify could choose one of two alternate sample sizes (effectively the options established in current regulations) if:

-- Their nonresponse rate for the preceding school year is less than 20 percent, or 

-- For a local educational agency with more than 20,000 children approved by application as eligible for free or reduced-price school meals as of October 1, their nonresponse rate for the preceding school year is improved by 10 percent from the nonresponse rate for the second preceding school year.

A nonresponse rate is the percentage of approved household applications for which verification information has not been obtained by a LEA.  When verifying eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals, local educational agencies can first use direct verification and obtain and use income and program participation information from public agencies administering certain programs.  The programs are:  The Food Stamp Program, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, State TANF programs, State Medicaid programs, or similar income-tested programs (or other sources of information). In cases in which there are not enough error prone applications to comply with the options, local educational agencies would be required to randomly select additional applications to fulfill the percentage or number requirement.    

2.  Requires local educational agencies to complete all verification activities (including required "follow-up" activities) by November 15 of each school year; States may extend this deadline to December 15 under criteria set by the Secretary. It will also require local educational agencies to make appropriate modifications to eligibility determinations based on their verification activities.

3.  It also allows local educational agencies to "decline" to verify up to 5 percent of their verification sample and replace the declined applications with other approved applications.

4.  Requires that the local educational agency provide written notice to households selected for verification. The notice must include a toll-free phone number that the household can call for assistance with the verification process (04-019).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementing Provisions From the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004:  Seamless Summer Option for Schools Participating in the National School Lunch Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 116 of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-265) amended section 13(a) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) to authorize a Seamless Summer Option for public or private nonprofit school food authorities to participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP).  The law stipulates that schools that participate under the Seamless Summer Option must be reimbursed for breakfasts served at the School Breakfast Program free rates and for lunches and snacks served at the National School Lunch Program free rates.

The Committee Report (108-279) accompanying the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 notes that the provision closely tracks the Seamless Summer Feeding Waiver, which was available to school sponsors nationwide from fiscal years 2002 through 2004.  This interim final rule will amend 7 CFR parts 210 and 220 to incorporate the Seamless Summer Option that will be available to public and private nonprofit school food authorities that participate in the NSLP and SBP.  The Department also intends to incorporate into the NSLP and SBP regulations much of the policy that has been developed for schools that were approved by State agencies or FNS to operate the waiver (04-028).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule revises 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 five years duration, rather than the current one year, with an option for two one-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 three years, and remove the requirement that distributing agencies conduct an on-site review of such processors at least once every two 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 rule amended regulations governing the WIC food packages to align them more closely with updated nutrition science and the infant feeding practice guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics, promote and support more effectively the establishment of successful long-term breastfeeding, provide WIC participants with a wider variety of food, and provide WIC State agencies with greater flexibility in prescribing food packages to accommodate participants with cultural food preferences.  The final rule considers public comments submitted on the impacts of the changes and how they might be refined to assist State agencies and recipients.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The regulatory impact analysis for this rule provided a reasonable estimate of the anticipated effects of the rule.  This analysis estimated that the provisions of the rule would have a minimal impact on the costs of overall operations of the WIC Program over 5 years.  The regulatory impact analysis was published as an appendix to the interim rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule applies to WIC State agencies with respect to their selection of foods to be included on their food lists.  As a result, vendors will be indirectly affected and the food industry will realize increased sales of some foods and decreases in other foods, with an overall neutral effect on sales nationally.  The rule may have an indirect economic affect on certain small businesses because they may have to carry a larger variety of certain foods to be eligible for authorization as a WIC vendor.  With the high degree of State flexibility allowable under this final rule, small vendors will be impacted differently in each State depending upon how that State chooses to meet the new requirements.  It is, therefore, not feasible to accurately estimate the rule's impact on small vendors.  Since neither FNS nor the State agencies regulate food producers under the WIC Program, it is not known how many small entities within that industry may be indirectly affected by the rule.  FNS has, however, modified the new food provision in an effort to mitigate the impact on small entities.  This rule adds new food items, such as fruits and vegetables and whole grain breads, which may require some WIC vendors, particularly smaller stores, to expand the types and quantities of food items stocked in order to maintain their WIC authorization.  In addition, vendors also have to make available more than one food type from each WIC food category, except for the categories of peanut butter and eggs, which may be a change for some vendors.  To mitigate the impact of the fruit and vegetable requirement, the rule allows canned, frozen, and dried fruits and vegetables to be substituted for fresh produce.  Opportunities for training on and discussion of the revised WIC food packages will be offered to State agencies and other entities as necessary.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Civil Rights Protections for SNAP Households</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule is to codify one provision of the Farm Bill of 2008 and reference a second.  First, in accordance with section 4117 of the Farm Bill, the rule will amend the program regulations at 7 CFR part 272.6(a) to say that the administration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by a State agency shall be consistent with the rights of households under: (1) The Age Discrimination Act, (2) section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, (3) the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and (4) title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Second, in accordance with section 4118 of the Farm Bill, we plan to note in the preamble that the current rules requiring bilingual personnel and materials now have the force of law, but that no new regulatory text on bilingual requirements is needed.

Regarding the first provision, section 4117 of the Farm Bill clarifies that the administration of SNAP by a State agency shall be consistent with the rights of households under the above four civil rights laws. The SNAP is already subject to these four civil rights laws but the program regulations only mention three of the four laws, omitting the ADA. This is a statutory requirement that does not involve discretion. The regulatory change will now include the ADA.  

Section 4118 of the Farm Bill provides that State agencies must comply with program rules on bilingual personnel and material. The Food Stamp Act of 1977 (the previous law for SNAP) and current program regulations already require bilingual personnel and material in areas in which a substantial number of low-income household members speak a language other than English.  While the substance of the current rules is not affected by this change in the law, the current rule now has the force of law.  Accordingly, we plan to note in the preamble that the current rule at 7 CFR part 272.4(b) on bilingual requirements now has the force of law, but that no new regulatory text is needed.  

These two provisions do not require new State action. Because there is no new State action required, there is no additional cost States would incur from the rulemaking. We anticipate that this rule will not have an impact on the associated paperwork burdens.

Note: Executive Order 12250 delegates the approval of rules based on the Civil Rights Act to the Attorney General.  Accordingly, some time for DOJ review and concurrence has been factored into our time estimates for this rule (09-001).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Privacy Protections of Information From Applicant Households</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule is to codify existing provisions of SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 272.1(c).  The Act continues to permit the disclosure of information from applicants to persons directly connected with the administration or enforcement of SNAP, other Federal assistance programs or Federally-assisted State programs.  However, the Act now reflects existing regulatory requirements that persons to whom State agencies release the information must assure that the information is used only for administration of enforcement of those programs.  The rule also makes clear that applicant's information may be used to comply with requirements for certifying schoolchildren as eligible for free school meals based on their receiving SNAP benefits and under the same privacy provisions as any other applicant information (09-002).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations: Amendments Related to the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would amend regulations in 7 CFR part 253 for the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) to be consistent with regulations for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by:

     * Excluding combat pay from income.  This amendment is in response to section 4101 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill), which permanently excludes additional pay earned as a result of deployment to a combat zone (i.e., combat pay) as income when determining eligibility for SNAP.  Pursuant to Public Law 110-161, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, combat pay was temporarily excluded as income for SNAP during fiscal year (FY) 2008.  For consistency, such payments were also excluded for FDPIR.

     * Clarifying the standard deduction and net income.  Section 4102 of the Farm Bill sets the standard deduction for SNAP in FY 2009 at no less than $144 for the continental United States and $246 for Alaska.  Starting in FY 2010, this standard deduction is indexed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for items other than food for the 12-month period ending the preceding June 30 (adjusted to the lower dollar increment).  FDPIR regulations use the established SNAP income standard.  This provision clarifies that the FDPIR regulations are referring to the net SNAP income standard, not the gross income standard.

     * Amending the dependent care deduction.  Current FDPIR regulations state that the dependent care deduction cannot exceed the maximum allowable under the SNAP.  Section 4103 of the Farm Bill eliminated the maximum dollar limit on dependent care deduction in SNAP, allowing participants to claim their actual dependent care expenses.  This provision is to clarify that FDPIR households can claim the actual allowable dependent care expenses for each child or other dependent and that the maximum deduction has been eliminated.

     * Excluding from resources, household funds that are held in education and/or retirement accounts.  Section 4104 of the Farm Bill excludes from resources any funds held in qualified education and/or retirement savings accounts when determining eligibility for SNAP.  This provision excludes funds held in a qualified tuition program account from financial resources when determining eligibility for FDPIR.  Qualified tuition programs include those described in section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) or a Coverdell education savings account under section 530 of the Code.  It also excludes from financial resources any funds held in qualified retirement accounts (09-006).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Child Nutrition Programs: Geographic Preference Option for Procurement of Unprocessed Agricultural Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this final rule is to codify in regulations the implementation of a Child Nutrition Program procurement option made available by Public Law 110-246, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. Section 4302 of Public Law 110-246 amended section 9(j) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) to allow institutions receiving funds through the Child Nutrition Programs to apply an optional geographic preference in the procurement of unprocessed locally grown or locally raised agricultural products. This provision applies to operators of all of the Child Nutrition Programs, including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, Special Milk Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program and Summer Food Service Program, as well as to purchases made for these programs by the Department of Defense. The law also applies to State Agencies making purchases on behalf of any of the aforementioned Child Nutrition Programs. This rulemaking will also define the types of products that would be considered to be unprocessed in accordance with the intent of Congress as expressed in the Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee of Conference regarding the optional geographic preference procurement provision (09-016).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Stamp Program: Regulation Restructuring To Reflect the End of Coupon Issuance Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The changes to the SNAP 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>FSP: Unauthorized Redemption and Trafficking in Program Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rulemaking is being developed in response to reports of  incidents in which an authorized retailer has redeemed a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants program benefits without the knowledge of the participant.  In addition, this rule serves to modify actions that may be taken against some retailers found to be trafficking in program benefits. 

The Food and Nutrition 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 SNAP 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 SNAP 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 SNAP 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 judicial and administrative 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 SNAP 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 SNAP 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 SNAP business will be immediately suspended (06-001).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title IV--Nutrition, PART III--PROGRAM OPERATIONS, Section 4111-Nutrition Education provision clarifies the legal basis and requirements for nutrition education in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This proposed rule would implement the requirement that SNAP State agencies that elect to provide nutrition education (SNAP-Ed) for individuals eligible for program benefits submit a nutrition education State plan to the Secretary for approval and that the State plan identifies the uses of funding for local projects, and conforms to standards established by the Secretary through regulations and guidance.

This proposed rule codifies the SNAP-Ed Plan Guidance as the regulatory reference for States regarding the operation and implementation of nutrition education delivery as established in section 11 of the Food and Nutrition Act 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2020 (f)(3)(B)(ii)). The SNAP-Ed Plan Guidance sets forth what States must provide to apply for nutrition education funding, and also provides policy guidance on cost accounting, allowable cost(s), waivers, and data needs. The SNAP-Ed Plan Guidance assists States in developing a clear and comprehensive document for implementing a State Plan.  Additionally, the Guidance is designed to provide:

*  A clear statement of policy regarding SNAP-Ed requirements;
*  Clear and concise information on existing nutrition education and promotion efforts, and on systems of program monitoring; and
*  A consistent strategy for evaluating the effectiveness of State SNAP-Ed efforts, as well as comprehensive approaches for measuring the impact of SNAP-Ed.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) promotes healthy eating and physical activity consistent with the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans published under section 301 of the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 5341) to individuals eligible for SNAP benefits.  SNAP State agencies may give SNAP-Ed directly to eligible persons or through agreements with the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, including through the expanded food and nutrition education program under section 3(d) of the Act of May 8, 1914 (7 U.S.C. 343(d)), and other State and community health and nutrition providers and organizations.

As with any other SNAP administrative activity, SNAP-Ed expenditures may be reimbursed at 50 percent as established in section 16(a) of the Food and Nutrition Act 2008, which authorizes FNS to pay 50 percent of a States allowable administrative expenditures to operate the Program of which nutrition education is an allowable component.  States submit an FNS-366A Budget Projection to project Federal funding needs. 

Currently 52 State agencies provide SNAP-Ed to program eligibles in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  In 2004, SNAP-Ed was provided to 82 percent of the counties across the country.  In FY 2009 these 52 State agencies received approved Federal funding of approximately $343 million.  This funding will provide nutrition education to eligible program recipients ensuring that SNAP eligibles have the knowledge, skills, and motivation needed to make healthy food and physical activity choices (09-009).]]></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 part 222.  Their provisions, 36 CFR part 252.103, are more appropriately placed at 36 CFR part 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>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>Publicly Managed Recreation Opportunities (Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2300, 2330, 2340)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The USDA Forest Service is responsible for managing its recreation program in compliance with the Agencys Organic Act (16 U.S.C. 551) and the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6801 to 6814). Therefore, the Forest Service proposes to amend Forest Service Manual (FSM) chapter 2300, which cites the authorities under which the Agency's recreation program operates, as well as the overarching objectives, policy, and responsibilities under those authorities. Changes would be made in FSM 2330, Publicly Managed Recreation Opportunities, to conform to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act and to clarify procedures for development of recreation sites on National Forest System lands. This proposed directive would assist Forest Service employees in consistently providing quality recreation sites, facilities, and customer service to the 192 million visitors each year to the National Forests and National Grasslands. Additionally, corresponding changes would be made in FSM 2340, Privately Provided Recreation Opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

It is the primary administrative basis for the internal management and control of all agency programs and the primary source of administrative direction to Forest Service employees.  In accordance with Executive Order 12866 on regulatory planning and review, 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The changes proposed to FSM 2523, Burned Area Emergency Response, would provide clear direction on the objective, policy, and responsibilities for the BAER program.

This revision is needed to:

* Clarify the objective of the BAER program. 
* Provide clear policy for regions/forests to conduct post-fire emergency      	stabilization while applying appropriate cost-constraints in order to avoid fire transfer of funds.
* Assign approval (decision) authority to the regional foresters (currently the WO director of WFW).
* Provide a definition of a BAER emergency.
* Define several other key terms.
* Enumerate the program constraints.
* Clarify the distinction between the BAER and post-fire rehabilitation programs.
* Establish new process for the BAER program.
* Establish oversight for program accountability.]]></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.

        <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 part 261.1b will be corrected to reflect current Federal sentencing guidelines for fine amounts pursuant to title 18 U.S.C. 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 part 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 part 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, email 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.

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Description of Proposed Action: Proposed rulemaking for the Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program, authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill. 

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[The Forest Service is proposing to make changes to 36 CFR part 212 to clarify enforcement authority regarding forest roads concerns, the health and safety of the public and protection of National Forest System lands.  The proposed changes will amend sections 212.5(a) Federal Traffic rules and 212.5(a)(1) State Traffic law. 

The proposed revisions to 36 CFR part 212, subpart A provide clarification regarding the enforcement authority of the Forest Service on roads and trails.  The intended effect of this proposal is to provide clarification of existing authorities on NFS lands that can directly affect the safety and well being of forest visitors and employees, as well as to more closely align those efforts with state and local laws, and state enforcement measures.

These proposed changes would clarify Forest Service authority under the Property Clause in its law enforcement regulations so that this authority may be implemented as effectively as possible, but only to the extent of that authority; that is, only to the extent enforcement is necessary to protect NFS lands or persons on those lands.  Clear property clause authority is particularly important in remote areas of the NFS, where it may be difficult for State and local law enforcement officers to conduct routine patrols, and where a road crossing the NFS may alternate between Forest Service and State or county jurisdiction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Forest System Land Management Planning</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to provide notice and comment on a new planning rule. In so doing, the Forest Service plans to correct deficiencies that have been identified over two decades of forest planning and update planning procedures to reflect contemporary collaborative planning practices. The goal is to develop a new rule that improves the planning process, decisionmaking, and the legal defensibility of land management plans by November 2011.

The Forest Service is required to issue regulation for National Forest System land management planning under 16 U.S.C. 1604. The first planning rule was adopted in 1979 and amended in 1982. The Forest Service published a new planning rule on April 21, 2008 (73 FR 21468). On June 30, 2009, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California invalidated the Forest Services 2008 Planning Rule published at 36 CFR 219 based on violations of NEPA and ESA in the rulemaking process. The District Court vacated the 2008 Rule, enjoined the USDA from further implementing it, and remanded it to the USDA for further proceedings. The Department has determined that the 2000 planning rule is now in effect, including its transition provisions as amended in 2002 and 2003 and as clarified by interpretative rules issued in 2001 and 2004, which allows the use the provisions of the 1982 planning rule to amend or revise plans. The Agency is now in the 2000 planning rule transition period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Paleontological Resources Preservation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, the USDA-Forest Service does not have specific regulations for the preservation and management of paleontological resources.  The Forest Service has been relying on either the Organic Administration Act (Act of June 4, 1897) or the American Antiquities Act (Act of June 8, 1906) as the statutory authority to manage its paleontological resources under a permit system with penalties under 36 CFR 261.9 for excavating, damaging, or removing any vertebrate fossil or removing any paleontological resource for commercial purposes without a special use authorization.

On March 30, 2009, Congress passed Public Law 111-11 (123 Stat. 991) cited as the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009.  Public Law 111-011 at title VI, subtitle D lays out statutory requirements for Paleontological Resources Preservation (PRP).  PRP provides definitions but requires the definition of some terms, and uses other terms and concepts that need further definition or details to clarify intent or enforcement.  PRP identifies management requirements, collection requirements, curation requirements, need for both criminal and civil penalties, rewards and forfeiture, and the need for confidentiality of some significant resource locations.  PRP at Sec. 6310 also states that As soon as practical after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue such regulations as are appropriate to carry out this subtitle, providing opportunities for public notice and comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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>Enhancing Policies Relating to Partnerships</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Background:  Describe what the current regulations require or allow, and what the problem is.

Throughout its 100-year history, the Forest Service (FS) has utilized partnership arrangements with States, non-Government organizations, and others to help carry out its mission.  These arrangements are used in a variety of ways to support FS programs on Federal, State, and private lands, including ecological restoration and enhancement, interpretation and education services, enhancement of recreation opportunities, and wildlife habitat improvements.  

Establishing partnerships and utilizing them to their greatest potential has not always been a simple matter for the FS and its partners.  A number of statutory authorities govern how and when the FS may work cooperatively with partners, such as the Cooperative Funds Act, Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act, Granger-Thye Act, Federal Grants and Cooperative Agreements Act, and Public Law 109-54, Section 434, Watershed Restoration and Enhancement Agreements.  Challenges have resulted, in part, from the multiplicity and varying interpretation of these partnership authorities, and time-consuming business processes.  

Proposed Action:  Briefly describe the action you wish to take.

The FS seeks to promote and maintain the broader use and integrity of working relationships between the Agency and outside entities, including partners, donors and fundraising organizations.  The FS is proposing servicewide direction regarding the formation and use of partnership relationships.  The proposed directive would define a range of Agency services and programs appropriate to support and fully utilize these relationships, while simultaneously providing new and/or refined guidelines to ensure Agency integrity, impartiality and public confidence as we further Agency mission objectives and priorities through mutually beneficial arrangements.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Commerce is removing its regulation implementing the Government-wide common rule on drug free workplace requirements for financial assistance, currently located within Part 29 of Title 15 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and issuing a new regulation to adopt the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance at 2 CFR 182.  This regulatory action implements OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate into one title of the CFR all Federal regulations on drug free workplace requirements for financial assistance.  These changes constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in Department of Commerce policy or procedures for drug free workplace.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Foreign-Trade Zones in the United States </RULE_TITLE>
        <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 5-Year (Sunset) Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 19, 1997 (62 FR 27296), the Department of Commerce (the Department) published final rules on inter alia procedures for conducting antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings to conform the Department's existing regulations to the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA).  Although these regulations contain provisions on the conduct of sunset reviews, the Department is planning to amend the regulations to provide more guidance on the procedures for conducting sunset reviews.  Specifically, the Department amends 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; provides deadlines for certain submissions; clarifies the information to be provided by parties participating in a sunset review; clarifies when the Department will conduct a 120-day or a 240-day sunset review; and provides time limits for actions to be taken by the Department.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Withdrawal of Regulation Governing Treatment of Tollers and Subcontractors in Antidumping Duty Determinations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The International Trade Administration takes this action to withdraw the provision at 19 CFR 351.401(h).  ITA takes this action to ensure that the Department of Commerce'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>Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Electronic Filing Procedures; APO Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the regulations of the Department of Commerce's (the Department) Import Administration (IA) that relate to the filing requirements in antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) proceedings.  This amendment would allow interested parties to AD/CVD proceedings to submit their documents related to those matters electronically through the Import Administration Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).  Specifically, the rule would change the filing requirements under 19 CFR 351.303(c)(1), which normally require parties to manually file one original and five paper copies of public submissions for AD/CVD proceedings.  Where the submission contains business proprietary information, the rule currently allows parties to file one original and five copies of a business proprietary submission, and three copies of the public version, to the Department.  Through this amendment, parties will file all submissions electronically via an internet connection.  Parties seeking to manually file submissions must demonstrate that they meet an exception to the electronic filing rule, and such exceptions will be granted only with prior approval, on a case-by-case basis.  A party that is allowed to file a manual submission will nonetheless need to file only one hard copy of the submission, along with a cover page that is generated using IA ACCESS.  Because this cover page and submission are part of an administrative proceeding before the Department, it is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.  Additional proposed amendments to the regulations are directed at amending provisions where manual filing or paper copies of submissions are discussed in order to refer instead to the electronic filing requirement or electronic format of the submissions.  The rule would also includes minor corrections and clarifications related to filing procedures.]]></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 the Department of 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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a request from the U.S. Air Force, Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), for an authorization under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to take marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to conducting air-to-surface gunnery testing and training exercises from an AC-130 gunship within the waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico adjacent to Eglin AFB.  As a result of this request, NMFS will propose regulations that if implemented, would govern the incidental taking of marine mammals by Eglin AFB for this activity.  In order to promulgate regulations and issue a Letter of Authorization (LOA) thereunder, NMFS must determine that the takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service 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>

        <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>Collection and Use of Tax Identification Numbers From Holders of and Applicants for National Marine Fisheries Service Permits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to 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 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 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Mammal Protection Act Stranding Regulation Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is considering changes to its implementing regulations (50 CFR 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 to 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Take and Import Marine Mammals:  Take of Marine Mammals Incidental to Routine Operations of 13 Power Generating Stations in Central and Southern California</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes 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>Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Pelagic Fisheries; Purse Seine Prohibited Areas Around Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council recommended that U.S. tuna purse seine fishing be prohibited in the U.S. EEZ around the Mariana Islands, including Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and that pelagic longline fishing be prohibited within 30 nm of the CNMI.  Amendment 1 to the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for Pelagic Fisheries of the Western Pacific Region intends to minimize localized stock depletion by the purse seine fishery and to reduce catch competition between the purse seine and small-boat pelagic (e.g., troll and handline) fisheries. Amendment 1 also intends to reduce competition for target species and gear conflicts between small-boat pelagic fisheries and the longline fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 4 to the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Take and Import of Marine Mammals: 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>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 incidental harassment authorization and regulations, under sections 101(a)(5)(D) and (A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (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 liquefied natural gas (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 United States Coast Guard (USCG) released a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) 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>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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to eLandings Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS implemented an interagency electronic reporting system with a data entry component, eLandings, for reporting Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands crab in March 2005 and groundfish in December 2008.  Using the eLandings web-based application, processors report production, landings, and discard/disposition data.  NMFS finds it necessary to make some improvements to the eLandings regulations.  The proposed rule would add a requirement for a stationary floating processor (SFP) to enter at-sea operation type, port, and crab regional designation under specific conditions.  In addition, the proposed rule would correct time limits for submitting some data, add a new definition, and revise some tables to part 679 to support eLandings and to correct errors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 3 to the Fishery Management Plan for Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands Establishing Compatible Regulations With U.S. Virgin Islands Territorial Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At the June 2009 Council meeting, the Caribbean Fishery Management Council decided to amend the Fishery Management Plan for Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (U.S.V.I.) to establish compatible regulations with U.S.V.I. territorial regulations.  Currently, fishing for  and possession of Queen Conch is prohibited in the Exclusive Economic Zone, with the exception of an area known as Lang Bank east of St. Croix, which is open to harvest of Queen Conch from October 1 through June 30.  In U.S.V.I. territorial waters, Queen Conch is managed under a 50,000 pound quota.  This action would implement compatible regulations which will close the harvest of Queen Conch in federal waters, including Lang Bank, once the quota has been reached in the U.S.V.I. and the fishery is closed in territorial waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, NMFS is developing procedures to implement the provisions of section 101(a)(2) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act for imports of fish and fish products.  Those provisions require the Secretary of Treasury to ban imports of fish and fish products from fisheries with bycatch of marine mammals in excess of U.S. standards.  The provisions further require the Secretary of Commerce to insist on reasonable proof from exporting nations of the effects on marine mammals of bycatch incidental to fisheries that harvest the fish and fish products to be imported.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Maximized Retention Monitoring Program for Catcher Vessels in the Pacific Whiting Mothership Fishery in the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The action would implement a monitoring program for catcher vessels in the mothership sector of the Pacific whiting fishery off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California.  The monitoring program would consist of a camera and other sensors to monitor fishing activity in order to maintain the integrity of the maximized retention requirements found at 50 CFR 660.306 (f)(7).  Maximized retention encourages full retention of all catch while allowing minor discard events to occur.  This ensures that unsorted catch is available for observers to monitor on board the mothership processors and thereby maintains the integrity of data collected under the observer program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Generic Amendment for Annual Catch Limits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The generic amendment is intended to modify five of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's Fishery Management Plans (FMPs).  These include FMPs for: Reef Fish Resources, Shrimp, Stone Crab, Coral and Coral Reef Resources, and Red Drum.  NMFS and the Council will develop these Annual Catch Limits (ACLs) in co-operation with the Scientific and Statistical Committee and the Southeast Fisheries Science Center.  NMFS, in collaboration with the Council, will develop a Draft Environmental Impact Statement to evaluate alternatives and actions for the ACLs.  Some examples of these actions include:  establishing sector specific ACLs, selecting levels of risk associated with species yields, considering removal or withdrawal of species from FMPs, and delegating species or species assemblages to state regulators.]]></ABSTRACT>

The action would minimize sea turtle interactions so that the fishery is sustainable with minimal impact to green sea turtles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 34 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 34 to the FMP would amend the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program to exempt additional fishery participants from harvest limits, called sideboards, which apply to some vessels that participate in Gulf of Alaska groundfish fisheries.  Amendment 34 would revise the criteria that enable some vessels to operate exempt from sideboards in the Gulf of Alaska Pacific cod fishery.  Amendment 34 would also establish criteria to enable certain vessels to operate exempt from sideboards in the Gulf of Alaska pollock fishery.  The current sideboards impose an economic burden on some fishery participants that received relatively small amounts of quota share in the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program and are dependent on Gulf of Alaska Pacific cod or pollock fisheries.  This action is intended to promote the goals of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FMP, and other applicable laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Western Pacific Council is amending the Pelagics Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) to (1) define fish aggregating devices (FADs) as purposefully-deployed or instrumented floating objects, (2) require FADs to be registered, and (3) prohibit purse seine fishing using FADs in the US EEZ of the western Pacific. The objective of this action is to appropriately balance the needs and concerns of the western Pacific pelagic fishing fleets and associated fishing communities with the conservation of tuna stocks in the western Pacific.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action also would limit access to the parallel fishery for Federal fishery participants.  This action is necessary to reduce uncertainty and contribute to stability across the sectors, while providing consideration of fishing communities and entry-level opportunities for the jig sector.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of Critical Habitat for the North Atlantic Right Whale</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In June 1970, the Northern right whale was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Conservation Act, the precursor to the Endangered Species Act (ESA)(35 FR 8495; codified at 50 CFR 17.11).  Subsequently, right whales were listed as endangered under the ESA in 1973, and as depleted under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) the same year.  In 1994, NMFS designated critical habitat for the Northern right whale, a single species thought at the time to include right whales in both the North Atlantic and the North Pacific.

In 2006, NMFS published a comprehensive right whale status review that concluded that recent genetic data provided unequivocal support to distinguish three right whale lineages (including the southern right whale) as separate phylogenetic species (Rosenbaum et al. 2000).  Rosenbaum et al. (2000) concluded that the right whale should be regarded as the following three separate species: (1) The North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) ranging in the North Atlantic Ocean; (2) the North Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica), ranging in the North Pacific Ocean; and (3) the southern right whale (Eubalaena australis), historically ranging throughout the southern hemisphere's oceans.

Based on these findings, NMFS published a proposed and final determination listing right whales in the North Atlantic and North Pacific as separate endangered species under the ESA (71 FR 77704, December 27, 2006; 73 FR 12024, March 6, 2008).  Based on the new listing determination, NMFS is required by the ESA to designate critical habitat separately for both the North Atlantic right whale and the North Pacific right whale.

In April 2008, a final critical habitat determination was published for the North Pacific right whale (73 FR 19000; April 8, 2008).  At this time, NMFS is preparing a proposal to designate critical habitat for the North Atlantic right whale.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 2 to the FMP for the Queen Conch Fishery of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and Amendment 5 to the Reef Fish FMP of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSRA: Public Law 94-265), as amended through January 12, 2007, requires the establishment of annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) during 2010 for all species that are considered to be overfished or undergoing overfishing.  The present amendment is being promulgated to meet those MSRA mandates as well as to establish framework procedures with which to effect future changes to the management plan and to restructure the fisheries management units for grouper and snapper.  Various alternatives are included in the draft amendment, including maintenance of the status quo for each action as well as various alternatives regarding the year-sequences used to establish ACLs and the strategies to be employed to account for overages and to respond to needed changes in management methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Amendment 32</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The main purpose of this amendment is to provide potential alternatives to end overfishing of gag, create a rebuilding plan for the gag stock that will restore the stock to its maximum sustainable yield level, while minimizing to the extent practicable discards and discard mortality.  The amendment also examines adjustments to red grouper annual catch limits and annual catch targets and determines whether management changes in the red grouper fishery are needed.  The accountability measures adopted in Amendment 30B will also be reviewed for potential revisions.  In addition to the typical management tools used to rebuild an overfished stock, such as bag limits, size limits, and closed seasons, this amendment examines various ways to meet the Council's goals including time and area closures, consideration of gear types in the commercial fishery, and in the recreational fishery a keep the first fish regardless of size and a fish tag program.  Other data collection and accountability measures that will be explored in this document include, recreational sector separation of the for-hire and private fishery, vessel monitoring system, telephone or web based reporting system, electronic logbooks, as well as grouper endorsements pending separation in the for-hire recreational sector.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is initiating a rulemaking action to reduce injury and mortality to endangered and threatened sea turtles resulting from incidental take, or bycatch, in trawl fisheries in the Atlantic waters.  NMFS will likely address the size of the turtle excluder device (TED) escape opening currently required in the summer flounder trawl fishery, the definition of a summer flounder trawler, and the use of TEDs in this fishery; the use of TEDs in the croaker and weakfish flynet, whelk, Atlantic sea scallop, and calico scallop trawl fisheries of the Atlantic Ocean; and new seasonal and temporal boundaries for TED requirements.  In addition, this rule will address the definition of the Gulf Area applicable to the shrimp trawl fishery in the southeast Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.  The purpose of the rule is to aid in the protection and recovery of listed sea turtle populations by reducing mortality in trawl fisheries through the use of TEDs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Operation of Offshore Oil and Gas Facilities in the U.S. Beaufort Sea</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In November, 2009, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) for the promulgation of regulations and subsequent issuance of Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to take individuals of six species of marine mammals incidental to operation of offshore oil and gas facilities in the U.S. Beaufort Sea, Alaska, over the course of five years.  The likely or possible impacts of the planned offshore oil and gas developments at BPXA's facility on marine mammals involve both non-acoustic and acoustic effects.  Potential non-acoustic effects could result from the physical presence of personnel, structures and equipment, construction or maintenance activities, and the occurrence of oil spills.  Petroleum development and associated activities in marine waters introduce sound into the environment, produced by island construction, maintenance, and drilling, as well as vehicles operating on the ice, vessels, aircraft, generators, production machinery, gas flaring, and camp operations.  BPXA requests authorization to take six marine mammal species by harassment and also requests lethal takes of one pinniped species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amend Regulations To Limit Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Fixed Gear Catcher Processors Fishing for Pacific Cod in State of Alaska Parallel Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes a regulatory amendment to limit access by federally permitted pot and hook-and-line catcher/processors to the Pacific cod fishery in State of Alaska parallel waters in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) management area.  The parallel fishery occurs off the coast of Alaska within 3 nautical miles of shore, and is concurrent with the federal fishery for Pacific cod in the BSAI.  This measure is necessary to deter some catcher/processors from catching more Pacific cod than have been allocated to their sector.  It would reduce the risk of exceeding seasonal and area allocations of Pacific cod, improve NMFS' ability to manage existing sector allocations, and increase information collected about Pacific cod catch in the parallel fishery.  It also would create more secure sector allocations of Pacific cod to prevent vessels fishing in the parallel fishery from eroding previously established sector allocations, and improve vessel owners ability to repay loans under the BSAI longline catcher/processor capacity reduction program.

This proposed rule would limit access to the parallel fishery for Pacific cod by requiring a federally permitted pot or hook-and-line catcher/processor to hold the same endorsements required on their federal fisheries permit or license limitation program license for catching Pacific cod in the parallel fishery as currently required for catching Pacific cod in the federal waters of the BSAI.  Any pot or hook-and-line catcher/processor fishing for Pacific cod in the parallel fishery also would be required to comply with seasonal closures of Pacific cod that apply to federally permitted vessels regardless of whether they are fishing in the federal or parallel fishery.  Vessel owners of pot and hook-and-line catcher/processors who surrender federal fisheries permit would not be reissued a new federal fisheries permit within the 3-year term of the permit.]]></ABSTRACT>

Included in these changes are requirements that the Regional Councils must establish both a mechanism for specifying annual catch limits (ACLs) at a level such that overfishing does not occur in the fishery and accountability measures (AMs) to correct if overages occur.  Accountability measures are management controls to prevent the ACLs from being exceeded and to correct by either in-season or post-season measures if they do occur.  The Spiny Lobster fishery is jointly managed by the Gulf and South Atlantic Councils.  Amendment 10 to the FMP will set ACLs and AMs, review current regulations, and implement reasonable and prudent measures from the Biological Opinion.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this amendment is to establish Annual Catch Limits (ACLs) and Accountability Measures (AMs) for species not undergoing overfishing, including management measures to reduce the probability that catches will exceed the stocks' ACLs pursuant to reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) requirements.

Proposed actions include removal of species from the South Atlantic Snapper Grouper fishery management unit (FMU), designating some Snapper Grouper species as ecosystem component species, considering multi-species groupings for specifying ACLs, ACTs, and AMs, specifying allocations among the commercial, recreational, and for-hire sectors for species not undergoing overfishing, and modifying management measures to limit total mortality to the ACL.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would remove the requirement in 50 CFR part 679 for the American Fisheries Act (AFA) cooperatives participating in the Bering Sea pollock fishery to submit a preliminary annual report to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council.  Regulations require the AFA cooperatives to submit a preliminary annual report to the Council by December 1 of each year and a final annual report by February 1 of the following year.  Since implementation of the requirement in 2002, the Council has found that the final annual report provides the Council with adequate information about the activities of the AFA cooperatives, so a preliminary report is no longer necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed 4(d) Protective Regulations for the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment of Atlantic Sturgeon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing to establish protective regulations for the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment (GOM DPS) of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) under Section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  NMFS has determined that the GOM DPS of Atlantic sturgeon is at risk of becoming endangered in the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.  Consequently, a draft rule proposing to list the GOM DPS as a threatened species has been prepared, cleared by the Region, and is currently undergoing clearance and review in Headquarters.

In the case of threatened species, section 4(d) of the ESA requires that the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) determine whether and to what extent to extend the statutory 9(a) "take" prohibitions, and directs the agency to issue regulations it considers necessary and advisable for the conservation of the species.  The 4(d) protective regulations may prohibit, with respect to threatened species, some or all of the acts which Section 9(a) of the ESA prohibits with respect to endangered species. In the case of the GOM DPS, NMFS is proposing to apply all of the Section 9 prohibitions (sections 9(a)(1)(A) through 9(a)(1)(G)) except for certain activities related to research, stranding, and salvage which can result in "take" of Atlantic sturgeon belonging to the GOM DPS.  Specifically, the rule, if implemented as proposed, would not apply the Section 9(a)(1)(B) prohibitions to taking Atlantic sturgeon within the riverine range of the GOM DPS for: (a) scientific research when conducted in the manner specified in the proposed rule; and, (b) salvaging dead, and aiding/resuscitating live Atlantic sturgeon by NMFS personnel or their designated agents as specified in the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>To Set the 2010 Commercial Gag Quota, Set the Recreational Harvest, and Reduce or Rescind the Use of Multi-use Individual Fishing Quota Allocation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 11, 2009, the Regional Administrator for the Southeast Regional Office notified the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) of his determination that the Gulf of Mexico gag stock was both overfished and undergoing overfishing, based on the results of the 2009 update stock assessment.  Therefore, the stock needs to be rebuilt and overfishing ended.  The Council is currently developing Amendment 32 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico to address stock rebuilding and ending overfishing; however, management measures proposed in this amendment will not be ready for implementation prior to January 1, 2011.  Therefore, temporary measures to reduce or end overfishing of gag are needed.  The Council requested the rule reduce the gag quota to a level consistent with the goals and objectives of the Councils reef fish management strategy, temporarily rescind the use of multi-use individual fishing quota allocation so it cannot be used to harvest gag, and temporarily halt the recreational harvest of gag until recreational fishing management measures being developed in Amendment 32 can be implemented to allow harvest at the appropriate levels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan To Set Total Allowable Catch for Red Grouper
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2009 update stock assessment of the red grouper stock indicated that although the stock continues to be neither overfished or undergoing overfishing, the stock has declined since 2005.  This decline was attributed to a 2005 episodic mortality event resulting in a little over 20% of the red grouper stock being killed in addition to normal natural and fishing mortalities.  Therefore, there is a need to improve the stock condition to a level where, at equilibrium, the stock can be harvested at optimum yield (OY).  In addition, there is a need to implement rulemaking resulting from this amendment prior to January 1, 2011.  This is so the 2011 commercial red grouper quota can be set and allow individual fishing quota (IFQ) shares to be adjusted to reflect any change in the total allowable catch (TAC).  The purpose of this regulatory amendment is to adjust TAC and the resulting commercial quota consistent with the goals and objectives of the Council's reef fish management strategy and achieve the mandates of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 37 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[If approved, Amendment 37 would amend the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program by establishing a process for quota share holders, processor quota share holders, and the municipalities of Adak and Atka to agree to and notify NMFS when Western Aleutian Islands golden king crab fishery deliveries should be exempt from the West regional designation. Under the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program, golden king crab harvested with individual fishing quota (IFQ) with a West regional designation must be delivered to a processor with West designated individual processor quota (IPQ) in the West region of the Aleutian Islands.  Federal regulations require that a portion of crab taken in this fishery be delivered and processed in the West region however, a reliable shoreside processing capacity may not be available each season.  Amendment 37 is necessary to prevent disruption to the Aleutian Islands golden king crab fishery and to protect the interest of communities. This action would allow fishermen to deliver crab harvested with West designated IFQ to processors outside the West region and allow processors with West designated IPQ to process that crab outside the West region when specific parties agree to waive regional delivery requirements.  This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fishing Capacity Reduction Program for the Southeast Alaska Purse Seine Salmon Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement a Capacity Reduction Program for the Southeast Alaska Purse Seine Salmon Fishery which is a state controlled fishery.  This program is voluntary and holders of valid limited entry permits issued by the Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission to operate in the Southeast Alaska Purse Seine Salmon Fishery are eligible to participate.  Permit holders in the program will receive up to $23.5 million, in the aggregate, in exchange for relinquishing permits.  NMFS would issue a 30-year loan to finance the buyback and the loan would be repaid by those harvesters remaining in the fishery.  The intent of this rule is to permanently reduce the most harvesting capacity in the fishery at the least cost, which should result in increased harvesting productivity for post-reduction permit holders participating in the fishery and should improve flexibility in the conservation and management of the fishery.  The rule would also establish a fee collection system to ensure repayment of the loan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 93 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation would amend the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Amendment 80 Program to modify the criteria for forming and participating in a harvesting cooperative, and the method for calculating a minimum groundfish retention standard applicable to cooperatives.  This action is necessary to encourage greater participation in harvesting cooperatives, provide for more precise total allowable catch management, and facilitate compliance with the groundfish retention standard.  This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Fishery Management Plans, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the regulations of the Channel Islands, Monterey Bay, Gulf of the Farallones, and Olympic Coast national marine sanctuaries to clarify the intent of the regulations governing overflights (to prohibit the harassment of marine mammals or seabirds by flying motorized aircraft below certain altitudes within the boundaries of the listed sanctuaries, subject to civil penalties) and to meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for placement on FAA aeronautical charts. Including a reference to the sanctuary overflight regulations on aeronautical charts will provide appropriate notice to pilots and ensure the protection of resources under NOAA's stewardship.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Licensing of Private Land Remote-Sensing Space Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service proposes to revise its Final Rule issued on April 26, 2006, addressing the licensing of private land remote sensing space systems.  The purpose of this revision is to modify NOAA's requirements for the licensing, monitoring and compliance of operators of private land remote sensing space systems under title II of the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992.  These modifications are intended to address changes in remote sensing technology and business practices since the issuance of the Final Rule.  The revision is intended to facilitate the further development of the U.S. commercial remote sensing industry, while preserving essential U.S. national security interests, foreign policy and international obligations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Regulations Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 304(e) of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA; 16 U.S.C. 1434(e)), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is conducting a review of the management plan and regulations for the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS or sanctuary), located off the outer coast of the Olympic Peninsula in the state of Washington.  As a result of the review, NOAA determined that it was necessary to consider the revision of the management plan and regulations for the Sanctuary.  NOAA is proposing changes to the regulations for the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS or sanctuary).  This rule proposes to revise the regulations to prohibit wastewater discharges from cruise ships; to update the language referring to tribal welfare considerations when issuing permits, to correct the size of the sanctuary based on new area estimates; to update the list of definitions; and to update obsolete sections. NOAA also proposes additional changes to the grammar and wording of several sections of the regulations to ensure clarity and consistency with the NMSA and other sanctuaries regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) conducted scoping in association with the Management Plan Review of Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS or Sanctuary).  Among the actions identified by this scoping was to expand the Sanctuary and apply regulations to the new areas.  In order to accomplish this goal, ONMS is developing a draft environmental impact statement to expand the network of protected areas within the FGBNMS by incorporating selected reefs and banks in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico for their long-term protection and management.  This action would extend sanctuary regulations currently in place in the FGBNMS, as well as several new regulations to the expanded areas.]]></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 Department's November 2005 interim final rules in response to public comments and the Department's own experience in implementing the interim final rules.  This rule is required by statute (EPAct) and, thus, consideration of alternatives is neither proper nor warranted.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amending Regulations for the Pacific Halibut, Sablefish, and Pollock Fisheries Conducted Under the Western Alaska Community Development Quota Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to amend regulations that govern fisheries managed under the Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program.  These revisions are needed to comply with certain changes made to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) in 2006.  Proposed changes include revising regulations associated with recordkeeping, vessel licensing, catch retention requirements, and fisheries observer requirements to ensure that they are no more restrictive than the regulations in effect for comparable non-CDQ fisheries managed under individual fishing quotas or cooperative allocations.  In addition, NMFS proposes to remove CDQ Program regulations that now are inconsistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Act, including regulations associated with the CDQ allocation process, transfer of groundfish CDQ and halibut prohibited species quota, and the oversight of CDQ groups expenditures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes regulations to set forth identification and certification procedures for nations whose vessels engage in illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing activities or bycatch of protected living marine resources pursuant to the High Seas Fishing Moratorium Protection Act (Moratorium Protection Act). Specifically, the Moratorium Protection Act requires the Secretary of Commerce to identify in a biennial report to Congress those foreign nations whose vessels are engaged in IUU fishing or fishing that results in bycatch of protected living marine resources.  The Moratorium Protection Act also requires the establishment of procedures to certify whether nations identified in the biennial report are taking appropriate corrective actions to address IUU fishing or bycatch of protected living marine resources by fishing vessels of that nation.  Based upon the outcome of the certification procedures developed in this rulemaking, nations could be subject to import prohibitions on certain fisheries products and other measures under the authority provided in the High Seas Driftnet Fisheries Enforcement Act if they are not positively certified by the Secretary of Commerce.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[NOAA is proposing these regulations pursuant to its rulemaking authority under sections 609 and 610 of the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 1826j and k), as amended by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[NMFS developed alternatives for the Secretary of Commerce to make a positive certification that a nation, once identified as having vessels engaged in illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing, has taken sufficient corrective action against those vessels or is a member of a regional fishery management organization that has adopted effective measures to address the IUU activities. NMFS also developed alternatives for the Secretary of Commerce to make a positive certification that a nation, once identified as having vessels engaged in bycatch of protected living marine resources (PLMR), has adopted a regulatory program to conserve those PLMR that is comparable in effectiveness to the United States and which collects data to support international assessment and conservation efforts.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Because this rule is under development, NMFS does not currently have estimates of the amount of product that is imported into the United States from other nations whose vessels are engaged in illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing or bycatch of protected living marine resources.  Therefore, quantification of the economic impacts of this rulemaking is not possible at this time.  This rulemaking has not been determined to be economically significant under E.O. 12866; however, it is considered significant because it raises novel or legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's Priorities, and the principles set forth in the Executive order.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The risks associated with not pursuing the proposed rulemaking include allowing IUU fishing activities and/or bycatch of protected living marine resources by foreign vessels to continue without an effective tool to aid in combating such activities.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act Environmental Review Procedure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 107 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA) (P.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.  They must also 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.

This rule would revise and update the NMFS procedures for complying with NEPA in the context of fishery management actions developed pursuant to MSRA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking revises 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 Interjurisdictional 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 and 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>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>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 of 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>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 a rule to redesignate regulations governing the small take of marine mammals, incidental to conducting specified activities (other than commercial fishing) in the marine environment.  In recent years, NMFS has promulgated an increasing volume of activity-specific incidental take regulations, and it expects this trend to continue.  Therefore, there will be a need for additional subparts to accommodate future incidental take regulations.  In order to create more space for additional incidental take regulations in a logically organized manner, NMFS is transferring regulations in subparts I, J, K, N, O, R, S, and U of part 216 to a new part 217, and transferring regulations in subparts P, Q, V, and X of part 216 to a new part 218.  This will open the rest of subpart 216 for additional regulations unrelated to incidental take under MMPA section 101(a)(5)(A) and (D), and create a dedicated subpart for incidental take regulations.  However, we anticipate that even part 217 will not be sufficient to contain all future regulations for specified activities that incidentally take marine mammals.  Therefore, NMFS also expects to use part 218 for new regulations for specified activities related to military ranges and part 219 in the near future for specified activities related to offshore oil exploration.  The purpose of this action is to make the regulations better organized and easier for the public to use.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Endangered Species Act]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Alternative 1. No action (status quo): NMFS would not designate critical habitat (CH) in Cook Inlet, Alaska, for the Cook Inlet beluga whale. Conservation and recovery of the listed species would depend exclusively upon the protections provided under the "jeopardy" provisions of Section 7 of the ESA.

Alternative 2. Designate Area 1 and Area 2, which encompass all of upper-Cook Inlet, north of a line at 60° 25' north latitude, and portions of mid- and lower-Cook Inlet, extending south along the west side of the Cook Inlet, following the tidal flats into Kamishak Bay to Douglas Reef, between MHHW and waters within two nautical miles of shore. It further includes all waters of Kachemak Bay, eastward of 151° 30' west longitude and seaward of MHHW.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The post-designation incremental costs are estimated to range from $187,000 to $571,000, in present value terms, at a 3 percent discount rate, and from $157,000 to $472,000 at a 7 percent discount rate.

Approximately six Federal action agencies for section 7 consultations are anticipated to bear 70 percent ($398,000) of these costs, while 26 percent ($148,000) are expected to accrue to NMFS, as the consulting agency. The remaining four percent ($25,000) of these costs may be borne by third parties, during the consultations. Of the total costs to Federal action agencies, the DOD is anticipated to bear approximately 76 percent ($302,000). This is followed by USACE (9 percent; $37,000), NMFS (7 percent; $28,000), FERC (7 percent; $28,000), EPA (1 percent; $3,000), and FHWA (less than 1 percent; less than $1,000).

Benefits are qualitative:  Area more attractive to workers in various industrial sectors; anticipated conservation and recovery species; and the general stability in associated environs should provide increases in welfare to tourists, recreationists, wildlife watchers, Cook Inlet Ferry passengers, and future cruise ship passengers. This should result in higher revenues for relevant businesses. Other wildlife and fish species will benefit, resulting in overall improvements in commercial, recreational, personal use, and subsistence uses. The increase in Cook Inlet beluga whale populations, in the longer term, will provide more frequent subsistence harvest opportunities to the Alaska Natives and allow future generations to practice their traditional ways. It will enhance passive-use benefits among those who value this species and the myriad elements and aspects of the natural habitat that sustains it. Finally, as the ESA is carried out, there are expected to be scientific and educational benefits to the Nation.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would adjust regulations governing the U.S. Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) fishery to enable more thorough utilization of the available U.S. quota, while continuing efforts to end BFT overfishing by 2010, rebuild the BFT stock by 2019, and minimize bycatch and bycatch mortality to the extent practicable.  The U.S. BFT quota is derived from the recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and implemented under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act.  For the past several years, the U.S. Atlantic BFT fishery has not fully harvested the available quota, particularly the BFT commercial subquotas.

This action follows consideration of public comment collected via an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on several issues regarding Atlantic highly migratory species fisheries, and contains measures raised during the 2009 BFT quota specifications rulemaking and at recent meetings of the Highly Migratory Species Advisory Panel.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Navy Training Activities Conducted Within the Northwest Training Range Complex</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In September 2008, the U.S. Navy applied for 5-year regulations and a Letter of Authorization (LOA) to take marine mammals incidental to conducting military readiness training in the NWTRC.  LOAs issued under the regulations would authorize the take of individuals of 26 species of marine mammals by harassment incidental to upcoming Navy training activities to be conducted within the NWTRC over the course of 5 years and commencing in February 2010.  NMFS considered a range of mitigation measures and the proposed rule will include, among other measures, exclusion zones for explosives and shutdown zones for sonar use.  The proposed rule also includes a plan for monitoring the effects of this action along with an adaptive management component that will allow for the modification of both mitigation and monitoring measures based on monitoring results and new science.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Navy Training Activities Conducted Within the Mariana Island Range Complex</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act directs the Secretary of Commerce to allow, upon request, the incidental, but not intentional, taking of small numbers of marine mammals by U.S. citizens who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specified geographical region if certain findings are made and regulations are issued.  Authorization shall be granted if NMFS finds that the taking will have a negligible impact on the species or stock(s) and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock(s) for subsistence uses, and sets forth the permissible methods of taking and requirements pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring and reporting of such takings.  The National Defense Authorization Act of 2004 (NDAA) (Public Law 108-136) removed the "small numbers" and "specified geographical region" limitations for military readiness activities, such as the activities in this action.  In September 2008, the U.S. Navy applied for a Letter of Authorization (LOA) to take marine mammals incidental to training activities (including mid-frequency sonar), maintenance, and RDT&E conducted at the Mariana Islands Range Complex (MIRC).  This action would consider whether to grant the Navy an LOA to conduct their activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revoke Inactive Quota Share and Annual Individual Fishing Quota From a Holder of Quota Share Under the Pacific Halibut and Sablefish Fixed Gear Individual Fishing Quota Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend existing commercial fishing regulations for the fixed-gear Pacific Halibut and sablefish individual fishing quota program at 50 CFR 679.  The amendment would revoke inactive quota share unless the quota share permit holder affirmatively notices NMFS in writing within 60 days of the agency's preliminary determination of inactivity that they choose to (a) retain the inactive IFQ quota share, (b) activate the quota share through transfer or by fishing, or (c) appeal the preliminary determination. Quota share that is not activated through this process and is revoked would be proportionally distributed to the quota share pool.  This regulatory revision is based on the recommendations of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council in June 2006 and again in February 2009.  Amending the regulations would improve the efficiency of the Pacific Halibut and Sablefish IFQ program and augment operational flexibility of participating fisherman.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Fishery of Puerto Rico Modifying the Bajo de Sico Seasonal Closure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule would modify the seasonal closure of Bajo de Sico, an area off the west coast of Puerto Rico that has been identified as critically important habitat for commercially exploited snappers and groupers.  Current regulations prohibit all fishing activities, including Highly Migratory Species (HMS) from December 1 through the end of February each year as well as a year-round prohibition of bottom tending gear (i.e., traps, pots, gillnets, trammel nets, and bottom longlines).  The rule would prohibit fishing for and possession of council managed species, including reef fish and spiny lobster, from October 1 through March 31.  Queen Conch and coral reef resources are already prohibited year-round and will not be affected by this rule.  Restrictions on bottom-tending gear will also not be affected by this rule.  A year-round prohibition of anchoring within Bajo de Sico will also be implemented through this rule to provide further protection of established essential fish habitat.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 17A to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The most recent red snapper stock assessment, completed February 2008, determined  the species was undergoing overfishing and was overfished.  Biomass shows a sharp decline during the 1950's and 1960's, continued decline during the 1970's, and stable but low levels since 1980.  The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) is required by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) to implement rebuilding plans for overfished species.  Therefore, Amendment 17A is being developed to establish a rebuilding plan and updated management reference points for red snapper in the South Atlantic.  Additionally, revisions to the Magnuson-Stevens Act in 2006 require that by 2010, Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for fisheries determined by the Secretary to be subject to overfishing establish a mechanism for specifying Annual Catch Limits (ACLs) at a level that prevents overfishing and does not exceed the recommendations of the respective Councils Scientific and Statistical Committee or other established peer review processes.  These FMPs are also required to establish within this timeframe measures to ensure accountability.  To comply with this Magnuson-Stevens Act requirement, Amendment 17A would establish an ACL and accountability measures for red snapper, and implement management measures to ensure harvest does not exceed the ACL.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fishing Vessel, Fishing Facility and Individual Fishing Quota Lending Program Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action provides regulations for the Fishing Vessel, Fishing Facility and Individual Fishing Quota Lending Program (FFP).  FFP lending can now finance sustainable fisheries efforts, including activities that assist in the transition to reduced fishing capacity, technologies or upgrades to improve collection and reporting of fisheries data, to improve or reduce adverse affects of fishing gear, or to improve safety.

The FFP collects loan principal, interest and fees in order to repay monies borrowed from the U.S. Treasury, and FFP lending maintains a negative subsidy under Federal Credit Reform Act.  Additionally, FFP maintains fixed interest rates that are comparable to those of private sector lenders; however the FFP allows borrowers to prepay without penalty and may carry longer repayment periods that are more advantageous to borrowers.  The FFP does not make loans for new vessel construction nor for vessel refurbishments that would increase harvesting capacity.

This action does not substantively change eligibility or lending criteria.  FFP applicants must continue to demonstrate they have the required licenses or permits and that they will continue to comply with all applicable fisheries management measures.  The FFP performs due diligence investigations that check credit histories, fisheries violations records, criminal background, among others, to insure borrowers use FFP loans to operate legally and in an environmentally sound manner.  This action also includes eligibility criteria and lending guidelines for two additional loan programs, lending for Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands crab fisheries and lending for entities who participate in the Alaska Region's Community Development Quota program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consolidation of Tables and Figures Related to Regulations Implementing Amendment 89 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service amends its regulations to combine data in certain tables and figures related to the areas closed to nonpelagic trawling that were implemented by Amendment 89 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area.  This rule would place all of the descriptive information for certain habitat conservation and research areas in one place, i.e., combine the figure with the map of the area and the table with the exact coordinates of the same area.  Under this action, Figure 16 would be combined with the coordinates provided in Table 42 for the Bering Sea Habitat Conservation Area.  Figure 17 would be combined with Tables 43 and 45 for the Northern Bering Sea Research Area and St. Lawrence Island Habitat Conservation Area.  Figure 21 would be combined with Table 44 for the Nunivak Island, Etolin Strait, and Kuskokwim Bay Habitat Conservation Area.  Table 46 does not have a comparable figure and therefore would be redesignated as Table 42.  Tables 43, 44, and 45 would be removed.  This action would make the figures and associated tables less cumbersome to use by combining them.  This combination of data would place all of the descriptive information for certain habitat conservation and research areas in one place, i.e., combine the figure with the map of the area and the table with the exact coordinates of the same area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements an area closure and associated gear restrictions applicable to the bottom longline component of the reef fish fishery in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the Gulf of Mexico to reduce incidental take and mortality of sea turtles.  Specifically, this rule prohibits the use of bottom longline gear for the harvest of reef fish shoreward of a line approximating the 35-fathom depth contour in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and limits bottom longline vessels operating in the reef fish fishery east of longitude 8530W to 1,000 hooks onboard, of which only 750 may be actively fished or rigged for fishing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 94 for Bering Sea Modified Nonpelagic Trawl Gear Requirements, St. Matthew Island Habitat Conservation Area Revision, and Modified Gear Trawl Zone </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation implements Amendment 94 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (FMP).  The regulation would require gear modification for nonpelagic trawl vessels targeting flatfish in the Bering Sea subarea.  The modified gear would have elevating devices on trawl sweeps to raise the sweeps off the seafloor and reduce the potential impact on bottom habitat.  This action also would change the Southern boundary of the Northern Bering Sea Research Area to create the Modified Gear Trawl Zone where anyone fishing with nonpelagic trawl gear must use modified trawl sweeps.  The regulation also would change the eastern boundary of the Saint Matthew Island Habitat Conservation Area to further protect blue king crab habitat.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addendum IV to the Weakfish Interstate Management Plan--Bycatch Trip Limit </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes regulations that would modify management restrictions in the Federal weakfish fishery in a manner consistent with the Commission's Weakfish Management Board's (Board) approved Addendum IV to Amendment 4 to the ISFMP for Weakfish.  In short, the proposed Federal regulatory change would decrease the incidental catch allowance for weakfish in the EEZ in non-directed fisheries using smaller mesh sizes, from 150 pounds to no more than 100 pounds per day or trip, whichever is longer in duration.  In addition it would impose a one fish possession limit on recreational fishers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would add a Pacific cod endorsement on licenses issued under the license limitation program in specific management areas if those licenses have been used on vessels that met minimum recent landing requirements using non-trawl gear, commonly known as fixed gear.  This action would provide exemptions to the requirements to hold a Pacific cod endorsement for vessels that use jig gear, modify the maximum length designation on a specific set of fixed gear licenses, and would allow entities representing specific communities to receive a limited number of fixed gear licenses with Pacific cod endorsements for use on vessels designated by entities representing the communities.  This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Fishery Management Plan, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>ESA Listing of Nine Distinct Population Segments of Loggerhead Sea Turtles as Endangered or Threatened</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS and USFWS have determined that the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is composed of nine distinct population segments (DPSs) that qualify as "species" for listing as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), two as threatened and seven as endangered.  This also constitutes the 12-month findings on two petitions to: (1) reclassify loggerhead turtles in the North Pacific Ocean as a DPS with endangered status and designate critical habitat; and (2) reclassify loggerhead turtles in the Northwest Atlantic as a DPS with endangered status and designate critical habitat.  Critical habitat for the two loggerhead sea turtle DPSs occurring within the United States will be designated in a subsequent Federal Register notice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking To Designate Critical Habitat for the Endangered Black Abalone</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 for the endangered black abalone.  Once critical habitat is designated, Federal agencies would be required to comply with section 7 of the ESA to ensure activities they carry out, authorize, or fund do not destroy or adversely affect this designated critical habitat.  An economic analysis report, biological report, and ESA section 4(b)(2) analysis report prepared in support of this rulemaking would be available for public review and comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School Training Operations at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 6, 2009, NMFS received a letter from the U.S. Air Force requesting an authorization for the take of marine mammals incidental to NEODS training operations.  The requested regulations would establish a framework for authorizing incidental take with future Letters of Authorization (LOAs).  These LOAs, if approved, would authorize the take, by Level B (behavioral) harassment, of Atlantic bottle dolphins incidental to conducting NEODS training operations and testing at Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range at property off Santa Rosa Island, Florida, in the northern Gulf of Mexico.  Based on the application, pre-mitigation take would average approximately 10 animals per year; approximately 50 animals over the five year period.  NMFS issued an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) for almost identical activities in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.  The past missions have been delayed due to safety issues concerning bringing demolition charges under a bridge and no missions have occurred to date under any of the IHAs.  NEODS missions would involve underwater detonations of small, live explosive charges adjacent to inert mines.  The NEODS training activities are classified as military readiness activities.  The U.S. Air Force states that noise associated with underwater detonation of the specified explosive charges may expose bottlenose dolphins in the area to noise and pressure resulting in non-injurious temporary threshold shift.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries Off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Amendments 20 and 21; Trawl Rationalization Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The trawl rationalization program creates an individual fishing quota (IFQ) program for the shore-based trawl fleet; and cooperative (coop) programs for the at-sea trawl fleet in the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery.  This rulemaking includes regulations to implement Amendments 20 and 21 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP).  Amendment 20 creates the structure and management details of the trawl rationalization program, which would be a limited access privilege program (LAPP) under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), as reauthorized in 2007.  Amendment 21, intersector allocation, allocates the groundfish stocks between trawl and non-trawl fisheries.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The trawl rationalization program is intended to increase net economic benefits, create individual economic stability, provide full utilization of the trawl sector allocation, consider environmental impacts, and achieve individual accountability of catch and bycatch.  This rule would establish the key components that would be necessary to implement the trawl rationalization program at the start of the 2011 fishery.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 303A of the Magnuson-Stevens Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Pacific Fishery Management Council (the Council) prepared two environmental impact statement (EIS) documents: Amendment 20Rationalization of the Pacific Coast Groundfish Limited Entry Trawl Fishery, which would create the structure and management details of the trawl fishery rationalization program; and Amendment 21Allocation of Harvest Opportunity Between Sectors of the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery, which would allocate the groundfish stocks between trawl and non-trawl fisheries.  These EISs covered a range of alternatives.  The Regulatory Impact Review and Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (RIR/IRFA) for this rule focuses on the two key alternativesthe No-Action Alternative and the Preferred Alternative. By focusing on the two key alternatives (no action and preferred) in the RIR/IRFA, it encompasses parts of the other alternatives and informs the reader of these proposed regulations. Under the no action alternative, the current, primary management tool used to control the Pacific coast groundfish trawl catch includes a system of two month cumulative landing limits for most species and season closures for Pacific whiting. This management program would continue under the no action alternative. The analysis of the preferred alternative describes what is likely to occur as a result of the proposed action. Under the preferred alternative, the existing shore-based whiting and shore-based non-whiting sectors of the Pacific Coast groundfish limited entry trawl fishery would be managed as one sector under a system of IFQs, and the at-sea whiting sectors of the fishery would be managed under a system of sector-specific harvesting cooperatives (coops).]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The RIR/IRFA reviewed and summarized the benefits and costs, and the economic effects of the Council's recommendations. The major conclusions of the economic model suggest that (with landings held at 2004 levels), the current groundfish fleet (non-whiting component), which consisted of 117 vessels in 2004, will be reduced by roughly 50 percent to 66 percent, or 40 to 60 vessels under an IFQ program. The reduction in fleet size implies cost savings of $18 to $22 million for the year 2004 (most recent year of the data). Vessels that remain active will, on average, be more cost efficient and will benefit from economies of scale that are currently unexploited under controlled access regulations in the fishery. The cost savings estimates are significant, amounting to approximately half of the costs incurred currently, suggesting that IFQ management may be an attractive option for the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery.  The increase in profits that commercial harvesters are expected to experience under the preferred alternative may render them better able to sustain the costs of complying with the new reporting and monitoring requirements.  The costs of at-sea observers may reduce profits by about $2.2 million, depending on the fee structure.  However, the profits earned by the non-whiting sector would still be substantially higher under the preferred alternative than under the no action alternative.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Under the no action alternative, cumulative landing limits for target species have to be set lower because the bycatch of overfished species cannot be directly controlled. Introducing accountability at the individual vessel level by means of IFQs provides a strong incentive for bycatch avoidance.

There will likely be a lower motivation to "race for fish" due to coop harvest privileges.  This is expected to result in improved product quality, slower-paced harvest activity, increased yield (which should increase ex-vessel prices), and enhanced flexibility and ability for business planning.]]></RISKS>

        <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 2011 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>To Open a Portion of the Georges Bank Closed Area to the Harvest of Surfclams and Ocean Quahogs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to open a portion of the Georges Bank (GB) Closure Area as specified at 50 CFR 648.73(a)(4), to the harvest of Atlantic surfclams and ocean quahogs, at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The FDA has indicated that recent testing of clams from the GB Closed Area known as Cultivator Shoal has demonstrated that PSP toxin levels are well below the regulatory limit established for public health safety.  As a result, the FDA has determined that harvesting of surfclams and ocean quahogs for human consumption from the area described below is once again safe.

The FDA requests that NMFS open the Federal waters south of 41° 40' N. latitude, west of 67° 55' W. longitude, north of 41° 25' N. latitude, and east of 68° 25' W. longitude.  The remaining portion of the GB Closure Area would remain closed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Capacity Limits in the Purse Seine Fishery in the Eastern Pacific Ocean</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is proposing regulations under authority of the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950 that would revise the vessel capacity limit in the purse seine fishery operating in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) so it is consistent with the amount authorized by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) under IATTC Resolution C-02-03.  For the United States, a vessel capacity limit of 31,775 cubic meters, or 27,147 metric tons (mt) would be established per Resolution C-02-03.  Currently, the U.S. fleet capacity limit is 8,969 mt, or 10,498 cubic meters.  This revision would ensure that the United States is satisfying its obligations as a member of the IATTC and not exceeding its allotted capacity in the fishery, and the U.S. industry is not being unreasonably burdened if U.S. participation in the fishery in the EPO increased in the future.  While an increase in U.S. participation in this fishery would not be anticipated since currently only two purse seine vessels are on the IATTC Vessel Register and when excess U.S. capacity has been available in the past there has not been a surge to use this capacity by outside vessels, there is a potential for an increase in fishing effort and resultant fishing mortality to target  (i.e., yellowfin, skipjack, and bigeye tunas) and non-target species in the purse seine fishery operating in the EPO.  In addition, there is also the potential for insignificant, positive socioeconomic impacts if the proposed action led to an increase in catch and revenue for fishermen participating in the fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Fishery; 2010 Accountability Measures for Greater Amberjack</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the regulations regarding annual catch limits and accountability measures for greater amberjack in the Gulf of Mexico, the temporary rule would adjust recreational and commercial quotas for the 2010 season.  In addition, the temporary rule would establish a closure date for the recreational fishery based on projections of when the adjusted recreational quota will be met.  The commercial fishery is monitored by NOAA Fisheries on a bi-weekly basis and will be closed once the quota has been met.  The intended effect of the temporary rule is to maintain the rebuilding plan targets for the overfished greater amberjack and meet the regulatory requirements established in Amendment 30A to the fishery management plan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Procedures To Request Licenses and a System To Allocate Licenses Under the South Pacific Tuna Treaty</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under authority of the South Pacific Tuna Act of 1988 (SPTA; 16 U.S.C. 973 to 973r), this rule would modify the procedures used to request licenses for U.S. vessels in the western and central Pacific Ocean purse seine fishery, which is managed under the Treaty on Fisheries between the Governments of Certain Pacific Island States and the Government of the United States of America (Treaty). The rule would also establish a system for allocating licenses in the event more applications are received than there are licenses available. The proposed rule would also modify the SPTA implementing regulations to require that the vessel monitoring system units carried on vessels licensed under the Treaty be type-approved by NMFS.

The Treaty provides for the issuance of 45 licenses, five of which are reserved for joint venture arrangements with one or more of the 16 Pacific Island Parties to the Treaty. During the 22 years that the Treaty has been in effect, no joint venture licenses have been issued. Licenses are issued by the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA), which acts as the Treaty administrator on behalf of the Pacific Island Parties to the Treaty. License applications are first submitted to the NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Office and approved by the NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Administrator for forwarding to the FFA. The proposed allocation system and modifications to the license application procedures would pertain only to the application process up to the point of approval by the NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Administrator.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service and Western Pacific Fishery Management Council are proposing to amend the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for the Hawaiian Archipelago. This proposed action would: (1) continue a moratorium indefinitely on fishing for armorhead (Pseudopentaceros wheeleri) until the stock is rebuilt, (2) establish a minimum rebuilding time of 35 years for the U.S. portion of the armorhead stock, and (3) classify the portion of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone surrounding the Hancock Seamounts as an ecosystem management area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 2011 Commercial Fishing Season and Adaptive Management for the Atlantic Shark Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would adjust quotas and opening dates for the 2011 fishing season for large coastal sharks (LCS), small coastal sharks (SCS), and pelagic sharks managed the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and its amendments.  These measures are necessary to ensure that quotas are based upon the most recent landings information and to account for over- or under-harvests from the 2010 fishing season.  In addition to setting annual quotas, adaptive management measures, such as delaying the fishing season, will be considered to ensure equitable fishing opportunities for commercial shark fishermen in all regions and areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery; Framework Adjustment 21; Correction </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 28, 2010, NMFS published in the Federal Register the final rule to Framework Adjustment 21 (Framework 21) to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (FMP), that implemented management measures for the 2010 scallop fishing year (FY).  Following publication, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) identified that the regulations implemented through the Framework 21 contain a few inadvertent errors, omissions, and ambiguities that are inconsistent with the information stated in the preamble of the final rule.  In addition, this rule inadvertently deleted regulations pertaining to limited access general category (LAGC) possession and landing limits, which were implemented through the final rule to Amendment 11 to the Scallop FMP that published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2008.  This correcting amendment corrects these errors and reinstates the Amendment 11 prohibitory language regarding LAGC possession and landing limits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Request for Comment on Discard Provision for Herring Midwater Trawl Vessels Fishing in Groundfish Closed Area I</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action seeks additional public comment on a provision of the regulations implemented by a November 2, 2009, final rule (74 FR 56562).  The specific provision allows a midwater trawl vessel with an All Areas and/or Areas 2 and 3 Atlantic herring limited access permit fishing in Northeast multispecies Closed Area I to release fish that cannot be pumped from the net and, thus, remain in the net at the end of pumping operations, without those fish being sampled by a NMFS at-sea observer.  Based on comments received, NMFS may keep the current provision unchanged, modify the provision, or remove the provision entirely.  This action is part of a Court approved joint motion to stay in the case of Taylor et al. v Locke (No. 09-CV-02289-HHK).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Gulf of the Farallones and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuaries Regulations on Introduced Species</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proposing to revise its regulations on the introduction of introduced species into the Gulf of the Farallones and Monterey Bay national marine sanctuaries (GFNMS and MBNMS, respectively).  This action is being taken in response to a letter received from the Governor of California on December 23, 2008.  The Governor certified that the terms of designation to regulate introduced species in these sanctuaries was unacceptable in state waters of the sanctuaries.  The Governor's letter specifically asked NOAA to modify its regulations to exempt all state-permitted aquaculture activities throughout the two sanctuaries and research involving the introduction of introduced species into Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary only.  Both of the criteria for exemption in the MBNMS needed to be satisfied in order to fulfill the Governor's objection for MBNMS.

This action is being taken in response to the action of the governor of California.  NOAA has limited ability to proceed otherwise.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Fishery Management Plan for Regulating Offshore Marine Aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this fishery management plan (FMP) is to develop a regional permitting process for regulating and promoting environmentally sound and economically sustainable aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) exclusive economic zone.  This FMP consists of ten actions, each with an associated range of management alternatives, which would facilitate the permitting of an estimated 5 to 20 offshore aquaculture operations in the Gulf over the next 10 years, with an estimated annual production of up to 64 million pounds.  By establishing a regional permitting process for aquaculture, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will be positioned to achieve their primary goal of increasing maximum sustainable yield and optimum yield of federal fisheries in the Gulf by supplementing harvest of wild caught species with cultured product.]]></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[An oil spill occurred on April 23, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 50 miles off of the Louisiana coast.  NOAA is estimating that oil leaking from the incident site may be as much as 5,000 barrels a day or more.  Several agencies are responding to the oil spill and conducting clean-up activities in the vicinity.  To prevent interference with safety personnel, an emergency rule is necessary to close the Federal Waters to all fishing activities near the incident site and the oil slick.  Under MSA 305(c), this emergency rule would remain in effect until the circumstances that created the emergency no longer exist.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Action To Close Portions of Federal Waters in the Gulf of Mexico to Fishing Activities in Response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 20, 2010, an incident involving a deepwater drilling platform occurred approximately 51 miles southeast of Venice, Louisiana.  Due to the inherent dangers associated with this emergency situation, for both the public and the response personnel, NMFS is promulgating emergency regulations to restrict fishing activities in portions of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) affected by the oil spill.  NMFS anticipates a potential need to adjust the spatial and temporal boundaries of the closed area as conditions change to the extent of the oil pollution.

Alternatives evaluated in the environmental assessment include a (1) no action alternative to allow status quo fishing activities in the EEZ, and (2) an alternative to restrict fishing activities in portions of the EEZ affected by the oil spill.]]></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 (PL 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 comprise "training and operations of the Armed Forces that relate to combat" and include "adequate and realistic testing of military equipment, vehicles, weapons and sensors for proper operation and suitability for combat use."]]></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>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 rule would apply the prohibitions under ESA section 9(a)(1)(A) through 9(a)(1)(G) for threatened Southern DPS green sturgeon, but would include certain exceptions and exemptions from the take prohibitions.  Exceptions are included for certain scientific research, emergency fish rescue, law enforcement, and habitat restoration activities that meet the criteria specified in the protective regulations under Section 4(d) of the ESA for Southern DPS green sturgeon.  Exemptions are included for state scientific research, fisheries activities, and tribal activities conducted under NMFS approved ESA 4(d) programs.  Thus, take of Southern DPS fish may be authorized under ESA section 7 or 10, or under an exception or exemption to the take prohibitions if the activities are conducted in compliance with NMFS criteria or NMFS-approved plans.]]></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 implements amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act regarding administration and operations of the eight regional fishery management councils.  The action also makes technical changes to the regulations to make them conform to the Magnuson-Stevens Act and other applicable law and regulations.  The action addresses 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 affect the operation and administration of the Councils, but would have no discernible direct effect on fishing industry members.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes regulations to implement measures in Amendment 3 to the Northeast Skate Complex Fishery Management Plan (Skate FMP).  Amendment 3 was developed by the New England Fishery Management Council (Council) to rebuild overfished skate stocks (thorny and smooth skates) and implement annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) consistent with the requirements of the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.  Amendment 3 would establish an ACL and annual catch target (ACT) for the skate complex, total allowable landings (TAL) for the skate wing and bait fisheries, seasonal quotas for the bait fishery, reduced possession limits, in-season possession limit triggers, and other measures to improve management of the skate fisheries.  This rule also includes skate fishery specifications for fishing years (FY) 2010 through 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Shark Management Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule evaluates 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 implements 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 31 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In September 2008, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Community Development</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS announces that the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) proposes to amend the fishery ecosystem plans (FEPs) for American Samoa, Hawaii, Marianas, and western Pacific Pelagics. If approved by the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), the amendments would establish requirements and procedures for reviewing and approving community development plans for access to western Pacific fisheries. The intent of the amendments is to promote the participation of island communities in fisheries that they have traditionally depended upon, but may not have the capabilities to support continued and substantial participation in, possibly due to economic, regulatory, or other constraints.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Antarctic Marine Living Resources; Use of Centralized VMS and Importation of Toothfish; Re-export of Toothfish; Applications for Krill Fishing; Regulatory Framework for Annual Conservation Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule facilitates conservation and management of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR).  It further details current U.S. requirements to only allow importation and/or re-exportation of toothfish or toothfish product with proof that the harvesting vessel participated in Centralized Vessel Monitoring System port-to-port; revises the NMFS catch-documentation requirements for re-exporting toothfish; requires applicants for an AMLR harvesting permit for krill to apply to NMFS no later than June 1 preceding the harvesting season for krill; and rescinds the existing regulatory framework for annual management measures.  The intent of the rule is to clarify requirements for importing and re-exporting toothfish, to facilitate enforcement, to fulfill U.S. obligations in CCAMLR, and to simplify the process for informing the public of annual conservation measures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Salmon Bycatch Reduction Management Measures for the Fishery Management Plan 91 in the Bering Sea Aleutian Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This fishery management plan amendment and rulemaking will implement the North Pacific Fishery Management Council's recommendations for management measures to minimize to the extent practicable Chinook salmon bycatch in the Bering Sea pollock fishery.  These management measures provide two options for the pollock sectors (e.g., inshore catcher vessels, offshore catcher-processors, catcher vessels delivering to motherships, or CDQ entities): fish under a lower Chinook salmon cap or participate in an incentive program and fish under a higher cap.  Under the first option, the fleet as a whole may choose to fish under a transferable cap of 47,591 Chinook salmon, which would be allocated by season and sector.  Once each sector reaches its specific cap, it would be prohibited from continuing to fish for pollock for the remainder of the season.  Alternatively, vessels or CDQ entities may choose to participate in private contracts called incentive plan agreements (IPA) which would describe how participants would maintain low bycatch even when their bycatch levels are well below the hard cap approved.  Those vessels or CDQ entities participating in an IPA would be allocated a transferable share of up to 60,000 Chinook salmon.  This cap would be reduced for any vessels or CDQ entities not participating in an IPA and those vessels and CDQ entities would fish under a lower, non-transferable cap.  In addition to the annual cap levels, if any sector operating under an IPA exceeds its proportion of 47,591 Chinook salmon three times in any seven-year period, the sector's maximum bycatch limit will be permanently reduced to its proportional share of the 47,591 cap.  If the FMP amendments and proposed rule are approved, fishing under the new Chinook salmon bycatch management measures would start in 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Remove Certain Reporting Requirements Under the Crab Rationalization Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would remove requirements under the Crab Rationalization (CR) Program in 50 CFR part 680.  The requirements are removed for an operator of a catcher/processor to weigh processed crab when it is removed from the vessel and to report that weight to NMFS on an offload report.  Currently, NMFS requires crab to be weighed onboard the catcher/processor before they are processed, and this weight is reported to NMFS.  In the three years since implementation of the CR Program, NMFS has determined that the additional requirements to weigh processed crab when they are removed from the vessel and report that weight to NMFS are no longer necessary.  Advancements in at sea reporting (eLandings), and the reliability of the at-sea motion-compensated hopper scales provide adequate information for NMFS to monitor and enforce proper reporting of crab catch.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The original RIN submission for a final rule AY28 is being split into two proposed rules.  This rule originally removed the requirement for American Fisheries Act (AFA) cooperatives participating in the directed pollock fishery in the Bering Sea to prepare and submit a preliminary annual report.  This part of the rule is withdrawn, awaiting further Council action.  A new RIN be will obtained for that new action.

The original final rule also removed the Crab Rationalization Program requirements for catcher/processors to weigh all offloaded crab on a state-approved scale that produced a printed record and to report this information at the time of offload to NMFS on a catcher/processor offload report.   This part of the rule will proceed as a proposed rule and will continue review with GCAK using the AY28 RIN number.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Comprehensive Ecosystem Based Amendment 1</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Comprehensive Ecosystem-Based Amendment 1 (CE-BA 1) consists of regulatory actions that focus on deepwater coral ecosystem conservation and non-regulatory actions that update existing essential fish habitat (EFH) information.

Management actions proposed in the CE-BA 1 include the establishment of deepwater Coral HAPCs (CHAPCs) to protect what is currently thought to be the largest contiguous distribution (>23,000 square miles) of pristine deepwater coral ecosystems in the world.  Actions in the amendment would prohibit the use of bottom damaging fishing gear and allow for the creation of allowable fishing zones within the CHAPCs in the historical fishing grounds of the golden crab and deepwater shrimp fisheries.  The CE-BA 1 would also provide spatial information on designated EFH in the SAFMC Habitat Plan (SAFMC 1998a).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework Adjustment 21 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (Framework 21) will set specifications for the 2010 scallop fishing year, which begins March 1, 2010, including adjustments to the total allowable catch, days-at-sea (DAS) allocations, scallop access area rotation schedule, and access area trip allocations.  This framework is for a single year because the Council is working on Amendment 15, which will establish a process for implementing annual catch limits that are required to be in place in 2011 for the scallop fishery.  Framework 21 must also comply with the requirements of the March 14, 2008, (amended February 5, 2009), Biological Opinion completed for the Atlantic Sea Scallop fishery, which requires the amount of allocated scallop fishing effort by limited access DAS scallop vessels that can be used in the Mid-Atlantic to be limited during the time of year when sea turtle distribution overlaps with scallop fishing activity.  In addition, Framework 21 considers minor adjustments to the limited access general category individual fishing quota program, scheduled to be implemented March 1, 2010, and the observer set-aside program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>To Implement the Regulatory Amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At the June 2009 Council meeting, the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council) decided to amend the Fishery Management Plan for Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the U.S.V.I. to establish compatible regulations with U.S.V.I. territorial regulations.  Currently, fishing for and possession of Queen Conch is prohibited in the Caribbean Exclusive Economic Zone, with the exception of an area known as Lang Bank east of St. Croix, which is open to harvest of Queen Conch from October 1 through June 30.  In St. Croix, U.S.V.I. territorial waters, Queen Conch is managed under a 50,000 pound quota.  The purpose of the interim rule is to implement temporary compatible regulations with the U.S.V.I. territorial regulations.  A regulatory amendment is currently being developed to establish permanent compatible regulations with the U.S.V.I.  However, due to timing issues, the Council intends to establish interim measures until permanent measures can be in place.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments 95/96/87 for the BSAI and GOA Groundfish FMPs for BSAI Skates and Groundfish Annual Catch Limits and Accountability Measures </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments 96/87 to the fishery management plans (FMPs) for groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) and Gulf of Alaska would revise the FMPs to conform with the national standard 1 guidelines for annual catch limits and accountability measures.  Revisions to the FMPs also include housekeeping measures that provide further explanation in the FMPs of current practices for setting annual catch limits and accountability measures.  These FMP amendments would remove species groups (sharks, sculpins, octopus in the BSAI and sharks, sculpins, octopus, and squid in the Gulf of Alaska) from the other species complex and manage these groups separately in the target species category.  The regulatory amendment would revise the regulations to be consistent with the changes made to the FMPs regarding harvest specifications for groups removed from the other species category.

Amendment 95 to the FMP for Groundfish of the BSAI would move skates from the other species category into the target species category.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2010 Specifications and Management Measures for the Spiny Dogfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC) and the New England Fishery Management Council (NEFMC) jointly manage the spiny dogfish fishery on the Atlantic coast through the Spiny Dogfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), with the MAFMC having the lead.  The FMP requires the Councils to recommend specifications for the spiny dogfish fishery consistent with the rebuilding program in the FMP.  This fishery is managed through an annual quota and possession limits.  The quota is divided semi-annually, with quota period 1 (May 1 through October 31) being allocated 57.9 percent of the quota, and quota period 2 (November 1 through April 30) being allocated 42.1 percent.  For the 2010 fishing year, the MAFMC and NEFMC have adopted separate recommendations (ranging from a status quo of 12 million pounds to 29 million pounds) to provide a sufficient range of alternatives for the purposes of allowing NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service to implement measures that are responsive to the best available data at the time of final rulemaking (the next assessment is scheduled to occur late January 2010, with preliminary results likely available at the end of February 2010). Both Councils adopted the status quo possession limit of 3,000 lb per trip.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Rule for Emergency Action To Suspend Regional Delivery Requirements for the Western Aleutian Islands Golden King Crab Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Western Aleutian Islands golden king crab fishery is managed under the Crab Rationalization Program (Program).  Existing regulations require that golden king crab harvested with 50 percent of the catcher vessel Class A Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) issued for this fishery be delivered to a processor located in the West region, which is west of 174 W. longitude.  The purpose of this requirement was to support processing facilities in the remote West region.  Despite this requirement, processing capacity in the West region has been an issue under this Program.  The only shore-based processor in this region is located in the community of Adak and, due to Program restrictions and related issues, it has not been able to process all of the crab required to be delivered in the West region.  As a result, harvesters have not been able to harvest all of the available IFQ.  In April, the Adak plant closed and in August the plant's owners filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  Complicated bankruptcy proceedings effectively ensure that the Adak plant cannot open in the near-term.  Without a processing facility, the fishery is disrupted because harvesters have no place to deliver crab in the West region, therefore, they cannot harvest a large portion of their IFQ.  The Council determined that this would result in substantial economic harm to fishery participants unable to fully prosecute the fishery.

For the reasons above, NMFS takes this action to implement  a temporary rule to allow the harvest of the IFQ prior to the closure of the fishery on May 15, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment to the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan To Set 2010 Management Measures for Red Snapper 
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2009 update stock assessment of the Gulf of Mexico red snapper stock indicated that although the stock is still overfished, the stock is rebuilding and overfishing was projected to end in 2009.  Based on their review of the assessment update, the Gulf Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee recommended total allowable catch (TAC) could be increased.  The purpose of this regulatory amendment is to adjust TAC and the resulting recreational and commercial quotas consistent with the goals and objectives of the Council's red snapper rebuilding plan and achieve the mandates of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Action to Provisionally Recertify Certified Bycatch Reduction Devices for the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Shrimp Fisheries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NOAA Fisheries Service proposes to provisionally re-certify two bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) in the southeastern shrimp fishery.  On February 13, 2008 (73 FR 8219), NOAA Fisheries Service provisionally certified the Extended Funnel BRD for use in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Composite Panel BRD for use in both the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic.  By regulation, the current provisional certification of both BRDs automatically expires on February 16, 2010.  However, no new information exists that would indicate if the BRDs have been improved, or that they do not continue to meet the provisional certification requirement.  Collection of new data and sufficient industry-level evaluation of these BRDs was hindered, because of delays in getting compatible regulations allowing their use in state waters off Texas and Florida.  Thus, fishermen in these states have not had the opportunity to use these new BRDs or to make improvements to them.  The proposed rule would provide provisional re-certification of these two BRDs for two additional years from the date of publication of the final rule in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Establish Control Dates for the Gulf of Mexico King and Spanish Mackerel Fisheries </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice informs participants in the Gulf migratory group king and Spanish mackerel components of the fishery of the Council's intention to consider further limiting access within the commercial sector of this fishery.  Specifically, the Council may consider creating additional restrictions limiting participation, including a catch share program.  To discourage accelerated effort to develop a catch history before the program is implemented, it is the intent of the Council to establish eligibility criteria based on catch histories from the most recent full fishing season.  For king mackerel the date is June 30, 2009, and for Spanish mackerel the date is March 31, 2010.  Thus landings of the respective species after these dates may not count toward eligibility under future management programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would establish Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) quota specifications by adjusting the U.S. annual BFT quota recommended by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas in 2008, and allocating that quota among the domestic fishing categories for the 2010 fishing year (January 1-December 31, 2010).  This action would be consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act.  The annual specification process is set forth in current regulations implemented under the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan.  This action is not expected to be controversial.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modify the Fishing Capacity Reduction Framework Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA) requires several modifications to the existing fishing capacity reduction framework regulations.  The proposed action would modify the framework rule to allow a majority of permit holders in the fishery to request a fishing capacity reduction program, in addition to the previously allowed mechanisms.  It also adds a payment condition provision that prohibits the Secretary from making a payment for a program to a vessel that will not be scrapped unless the Secretary certifies that the vessel will not be used for fishing in Federal or State waters, or in the waters of a foreign nation or fishing on the high seas.  The final modification changes the industry fee system referendum approval threshold to at least a majority of the permit holders in the fishery who participated in the fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment To Revise Angler Endorsements for Charter Halibut Permits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes regulations that would amend the limited access system for charter vessels in the guided sport fishery for Pacific halibut in waters of International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) Regulatory Areas 2C (Southeast Alaska) and 3A (Central Gulf of Alaska).  If approved, this regulatory amendment would revise the method for assigning angler endorsements to charter halibut permits.  This action is necessary to achieve the halibut fishery management goals of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council.  The intended effect is to more closely align angler endorsements with the actual greatest number of anglers for each vessel that gave rise to each charter halibut permit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inseason Adjustment to the FY 2010 Atlantic Deep Sea Red Crab Specifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is an inseason Adjustment to modify the red crab specifications to raise the target TAC to the revised recommended Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) by the New England Fishery Management Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee.  In May 2010, NMFS published the final rule for the FY 2010 red crab specifications implementing the Council's original recommended specifications (target TAC equal to 3.56 million lb; 582 DAS).  In March 2010, the Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee met to review their previous recommendation for red crab.  NMFS does not have the regulatory authority to implement specifications higher than the Councils recommendation.  The regulations do, however, allow for an in-season adjustment to the specifications, after consultation with the Council.  The Council met on April 28, 2010, and has recommended that NMFS adjust the FY 2010 specifications commensurate with the SSCs revised recommendation.  The adjusted specifications would be 3.91 million lb and 657 DAS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 6, 2009, NMFS published a final rule to implement the 2009-2010 West Coast groundfish harvest specifications and management measures (74 FR 9874).  This action modifies the 2010 harvest specifications for darkblotched rockfish, cowcod, and yelloweye rockfish.  The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued an Order on April 23, 2010, vacating the 2009-2010 Specifications for those three species, and replaced the specifications with the most recent OYs that were specified for 2007-2008.  This rule amends the regulatory requirements for these three species in accordance with the court's order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interpretive rule will recognize the change of the genus of white marlin from Tetrapturus to Kajikia in the implementing regulations of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) to reflect recent taxonomic changes for white marlin.  The action will also add the recently recognized species, roundscale spearfish (Tetrapturus georgii), to the definitions in the implementing regulations of the MSA.  The species, roundscale spearfish, was previously thought to be the same as white marlin. This action is not significant under the meaning of E.O. 12866 since it is below the economic threshold of impact and has no novel policy issues associated with it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Gulf of the Farallones, Monterey Bay, and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries Technical Corrections</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the November 20, 2008, Federal Register notice (73 FR 70488) implementing the final rules for the Gulf of the Farallones, Monterey Bay (GFNMS) and Cordell Bank national marine sanctuaries (referred to jointly as the joint management plan review or JMPR), NOAA published the coordinates for the outer boundary of GFNMS and certain zones within the outer boundary.  Some sets of coordinates contained technical omissions that need to be corrected for them to be properly mapped.  The final rule also included a provision to prohibit vessels from anchoring in designated seagrass protection zones in Tomales Bay (with an exception for mariculture operations conducted pursuant to a valid lease, permit, or license).  In publishing the boundary coordinates for two of the seven seagrass protection zones, NOAA omitted points that made accurate mapping difficult. As such, NOAA is republishing the coordinate tables for zones 2 and 4 to allow accurate GPS plotting of zones 2 and 4.  Lastly, NOAA is explicitly excepting vessel generator exhaust for cruise ships in all three sanctuaries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Rules of Practice Before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), is taking this action to revise the Trademark Rules of Practice (37 CFR Part 2) to set forth requirements for service of notices of opposition to applications for trademark registration and of petitions to cancel trademark registrations.  The purpose of these service rules is to codify and clarify current practice.  This action would also codify and revise certain rules by which parties in opposition, cancellation, and concurrent use proceedings (inter partes proceedings) before the TTAB can make of record, by means of notice of reliance, various types of materials as evidence.  Further, this action will revise and clarify rules specifying what materials are automatically of record as evidence in inter partes and therefore need not be made of record by any party to a proceeding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules of Practice Before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences in Ex Parte Appeals </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is modifying the current rules of practice with respect to ex parte appeals before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences.  For example: (1) revising the rule so that the Board will presume that an appeal is taken from the rejection of all claims under rejection unless cancelled by an amendment filed by appellant; (2) revising the rule so that the Board will take jurisdiction upon the filing of a reply brief or the expiration of time in which to file such a reply brief, whichever is earlier; (3) deleting many of the appeal brief requirements and modifying the rules to make other requirements more flexible; (4) requiring the examiner to designate any rejection in the answer that relies upon new evidence as a new ground of rejection; (5) allowing an appellant to await a decision on a petition seeking review of an examiner's failure to designate a rejection in the answer as containing a new ground of rejection prior to filing a reply brief; and (6) eliminating the examiner's response to a reply brief.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Amendments After Publication</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action amends 37 CFR (Part 2) to mandate that a proposed amendment of a trademark application after its approval for publication be filed electronically, using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).  The rationale for requiring filing by TEAS stems from the time-sensitive nature of amendments to an application at this point in the process, and the need for the USPTO to receive and process such proposed amendments as quickly as possible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes To Implement Electronic Patent Publication</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is revising 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 United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is amending its rules of practice to limit the types of correspondence that may be submitted to the USPTO by facsimile.  The USPTO would also implement 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.  These changes will improve the legibility of documents in the USPTO's file of patent applications and reexamination proceedings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is proposing to revise the rule of practice to streamline the priority document exchange process by providing as a default that the filing of a subsequent application with a foreign or international intellectual property office that claims priority to a U.S. application will be considered an authorization for the Office to provide access to the U.S. application to participating intellectual property offices.  The changes would reduce request failures.  Applicants who do not want the filing of a subsequent application with a foreign or international intellectual property office that claims priority to a U.S. application to be considered an authorization for the Office to provide access to the U.S. application to participating intellectual property offices may opt out by filing a notice to that effect with the Office.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Information Disclosure Statement Practice Regarding Timeliness Statement and Submission of Copies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is revising information disclosure statement practice to provide applicants an additional opportunity to file an information disclosure statement (IDS) without needing to file a fee before the close of prosecution, or a request for continued examination (RCE) after the close of prosecution.  In place of filing the fee or RCE, applicants will be able to submit a statement identifying that the IDS contains only information that was cited in a communication from the Office in another U.S. nonprovisional application.  The Office is also revising IDS practice to eliminate the copy requirement for published U.S. nonprovisional applications and Office communications issued in published U.S. nonprovisional applications that are listed in an IDS.  The changes in this notice reduce some of the burden related to the citation of Office actions and related information in an application.  While this is a first step in improving IDS practice, the Office appreciates that there are further steps that could be taken to reduce the burden of IDS practice for both applicants and the Office.

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes To Implement Optional Pre-Appeal Brief Procedures for Patent Applications </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) implemented the pre-appeal brief conference pilot program in which the applicant has an option to request that a panel of experienced examiners conducts a detailed review of the rejection before the actual filing of an appeal brief if applicant feels that the examiner's rejections are clearly not proper and are without bases.  Based on the comments from the participants, the effectiveness of the pilot program, and the lesson learned, the Office is proposing to make permanent the pre-appeal brief conference pilot program and to provide two additional optional procedures by which applicant may participate in the pre-appeal brief interview-conference for a fee (set on a cost-recovery basis), and submit a proposed amendment for the examiner to conduct an additional search to determine whether it would place the application in condition for allowance for a second fee (set on a cost-recovery basis).  The optional pre-appeal brief interview-conference procedures may eliminate the need to file an appeal brief or a request for continued examination (RCE), and reduce the pendency from notice of appeal to final decision by resolving some or all of the issues.  The Office is proposing to revise the rules of practice to provide for the fees to implement the optional pre-appeal brief interview-conference procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) issues this final rule to remove its regulations to implement and administer the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Program (Coupon Program).  The regulations implemented provisions of section 3005 of the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 (the Act), as subsequently amended.  The final coupons were issued on August 12, 2009, and expired on November 9, 2009.  NTIA is removing its regulations because the Coupon Program is closed and the regulations are now obsolete.]]></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.  The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is considering requiring that paragraph designations be included in the ECCN field on the Automated Export System.  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 a 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 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>

This rule would replace the registered mail, return receipt service of process provision in administrative enforcement proceedings with a provision allowing service by any means that obtains written confirmation of receipt; remove Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from the calculation when the specified time for filing or service of papers is ten days or less; require that discovery requests be served at least 30 days prior to the scheduled hearing date (compared to the current 20 days); extend from 12 to 15 days the time for parties to submit responses to the administrative law judge's recommended decision in enforcement cases; require that BIS seek renewal of a temporary denial order 30 days (instead of the current 20 days) prior to its scheduled expiration; and require that parties opposed to renewal of a temporary denial file a written submission with the Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement a minimum of 10 days before the expiration date of the order rather than the current seven days.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Non-Material Changes That May Be Made to Export Licenses and Addition of Non-Material Changes Requiring Prior BIS Notification and Approval</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising the section of the EAR that specifies what changes may be made to BIS export and reexport licenses.  First, under an existing paragraph of this section, this rule expands the scope of non-material changes that are specified under this paragraph (i.e., non-material changes exporters and reexporters may self-determine are non-material provided the changes are within the scope of specified parameters).  Second, under a new paragraph in this section, this rule adds a new sub-set of changes that may be made to an export or reexport license, provided the exporter or reexporter submits notification to BIS and BIS approves the change in writing as a non-material change to the export or reexport license.  Third, under another new paragraph in this section, this rule adds provisions to clarify any changes not specified in this section are treated by BIS with a presumption of being material changes to export and reexport licenses.  Lastly, this rule makes conforming changes to other parts of the EAR to conform with the revisions made to this section of the EAR.]]></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>Implementation of the Wassenaar Arrangement&apos;s (WA) Task Force on Editorial Issues (TFEI) Revisions; Correction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 10, 2009, the final rule, Implementation of the Wassenaar Arrangement's (WA) Task Force on Editorial Issues (TFEI) Revisions, was published in the Federal Register (74 FR 65661).  The amendments in that rule moved a technical note from after 1C006.d to 1C006.a.  The technical note was moved, however a copy of paragraph e of the technical note was left behind, and now in appearance looks like it is paragraph e in the items paragraph, i.e., 1C006.e. This correction rule deletes paragraph e in the items paragraph of 1C006.  In addition, the text of the Related Definition section of ECCN 3C001 should have been removed in the December 10th rule.  This rule replaces the text with "N/A" (Not Applicable) in the Related Definitions section of ECCN 3C001.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Publicly Available Mass Market Encryption and Object Code</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is removing from the scope of items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) "publicly available" mass market encryption software with a symmetric key length greater than 64-bits, and "publicly available" encryption object code.  This change is being made pursuant to a determination by BIS that because there are no regulatory restrictions on making such software "publicly available," and because, once it is "publicly available," by definition it is available for download by any end user without restriction, removing it from the jurisdiction of the EAR will have no effect on export control policy.  This action will not result in the decontrol of source code or technology controlled under Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5D002, but will result in a simplification of the regulatory provisions for mass market publicly available software and encryption object code.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule clarifies the intent of the grace period for the encryption registration requirement that appeared in a rule published on June 25, 2010.  While the rule provided a grace period for the encryption registration requirement until August 24, 2010, it did not intend to negate the requirement to obtain the encryption registration.  This rule clarifies this point by adding two sentences to the Export Administration Regulations.  In addition, this rule removes an incorrect email address listed in the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>De Minimis U.S. Content in Foreign Made Items</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 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 BIS 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>

        <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 to 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 to the antiboycott provisions of the EAR and with EAR provisions concerning entities involved in weapons of mass destruction activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

These new License Exception GOV provisions authorize exports and reexports of a broader range of items than those currently eligible under the IAEA-Euratom provisions of License Exception GOV, because exports and reexports under these new License Exception GOV provisions are authorized only in connection with official international inspection and verification activities by the IAEA under the terms of the U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreement, as amended by the Additional Protocol.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) 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, 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.  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 makes a license requirement correction to Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 0A018.]]></ABSTRACT>

Under the EAR's "direct product rule," foreign-made items that are located outside of the United States; subject to national security controls under the EAR; the direct product of U.S.-origin software or technology that requires a written assurance as a supporting document for a license or as a pre-condition for use of License Exception Technology and Software, Restricted (TSR); and are being reexported to a destination in a country of national security concern or a terrorist supporting country, are subject to the EAR and require an export license or license exception.  This rule also makes parallel revisions or clarifications to written assurances required under License Exception TSR (Technology and Software Restricted), 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the Commerce Control List to update and clarify certain items on the Commerce Control List that indicate "crime control" as a reason for control.  The specific changes made by this rule include replacing obsolete terminology, adding items to illustrative lists of categories of items in certain entries and removing duplicative or redundant controls.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to make revisions as a result of a systematic review of the CCL that was conducted by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).  This rule is the third phase of the regulatory implementation of the results of a review of the CCL that was conducted by BIS starting in 2007.  The BIS CCL review benefited from input received from BIS's Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) and comments that were received from the interested public in response to the publication of a BIS notice of inquiry on July 17, 2007 (72 FR 39052).  The revisions in this rule include: (i) Clarifications to Existing Controls; (ii) Eliminating Redundant or Outdated Controls; and (iii) Establishing More Focused and Rationalized Controls.  This rule also makes CCL related changes to other parts of the EAR, including CCL related definitions and license exceptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations To Enhance U.S. Homeland Security: Addition of Three Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) and License Review Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising controls to advance U.S. homeland security and foreign policy interests.  These amendments reflect issues identified by an interagency working group that is reviewing export control issues related to homeland security.  The interagency working group is made up of representatives from the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Homeland Security and State.  The purpose of the interagency working group is to ensure that appropriate export controls are in place to protect U.S. export control interests for homeland security related items, while at the same time facilitating the development, production and use of items that will enhance U.S. homeland security and the homeland security of key U.S. allies.

To help accomplish these objectives, this rule adds three new entries to the Commerce Control List (CCL) to control certain concealed object detection equipment operating in the frequency range from 30 GHz to 3000 GHz and related software and technology.  In addition, to facilitate the export and reexport of these items to certain trusted destinations and end-users, this rule adds new license review criteria to the EAR to create a presumption of approval for certain cooperating countries provided the items are being made to a government end-user or to a person designated by the government end-user pursuant to contract.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule makes changes to the Export Administration Regulations necessary to eliminate most paper versions of the documents that the  Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) sends to members of the public via its Simplified Network Application Processing Redesign System (SNAP-R).  The documents affected are licenses, notices that applications are being rejected, notices that applications are being returned without action, responses to classification requests, responses to License Exception AGR notifications, and responses to encryption review requests.  BIS would, in most instances, issue paper documents only in situations in which it authorized that the application, notice or request be submitted to it on paper.  The rule also explicitly sets forth the meaning of the term "original" with respect to the record keeping requirements that pertain to documents issued electronically by BIS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule creates a general authorization that authorizes exports and reexports to certain allies and partner countries.  Such exports and reexports would otherwise require a license based on Commerce Control List license requirements. This rule also adds a reporting requirement for all items reexported under this new general authorization and for items that are exported under this new authorization for which no Automated Export System filing is made.  This rule further removes one additional permissive reexport authorization.  Finally, this rule establishes a shorter license application review process for all destinations.  BIS is taking these actions to enhance the national security, foreign policy, and economic security interests of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

Currently the EAR requires a paper registration process that has been in place since the BIS's original electronic license application system was instituted in the mid 1980's.  This action was withdrawn because it duplicates the action in the entry for RIN 0694-AE98.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Changes From the 2009 Annual Review of the Entity List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement changes to the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744) on the basis of the 2009 annual review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC).  The implementation of changes from the annual review will be implemented in two rules.  The first rule, published today, implements the results of the annual review for listed persons under eleven destinations on the Entity List: Canada, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

The second rule will implement the results of the annual review for persons listed under the remaining seven destinations that were included in the 2009 annual review: China, India, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates.  Entities listed under the destinations of Armenia, Ireland or Taiwan were not included in the 2009 annual review because they were added to the Entity List in 2009 or 2010.

The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 7, 2010, the final rule, "Wassenaar Arrangement 2009 Plenary Agreements Implementation:  Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Part I, 6, 7, and 9 of the Commerce Control List, Definitions, Reports" was published in the Federal Register (75 FR  54271).  The September 7th rule listed ECCN 6E993 as one of the ECCNs that was revised, but it was not revised by this rule.  The rule also added an incomplete definition for "energetic materials" in section 772.1; this rule adds the missing text to the definition.  The rule did not remove a note after 6A008.f; this rule removes the note as it is now included in the note at the beginning of the items paragraph of ECCN 6A008.  Also, the rule listed an incorrect citation of "6.A.5.d.1.d" instead of "6A005.d.1.d" in 6A005.d.1.e; this rule corrects this citation.  The rule also included two incomplete citations in the introductory text of ECCN 9A001.a; this rule replaces the citations ".a or .h" with "9E003.a or 9E003.h."]]></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 Regulations 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; Reimbursement for Travel for Specialty Care Under Exceptional Circumstances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule implements section 634 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 which amends section 1074i of title 10, United States Code to permit reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses for active duty members of the uniformed Services and their dependents, and accompaniment, to a specialty care provider under such exceptional circumstances as the Secretary of Defense may proscribe.  The Department of Defense through its military treatment facilities and its robust managed care program, TRICARE Prime, is able to fulfill the medical needs of the majority of its active duty members and their families.  However, in some locations where active duty members and their families live due to the duty assignment of the member, the medical resources in the military treatment facilities and the managed care networks may not meet all of the specialty care needs of these members and their families within normal access standards.  Reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses for required specialty care that is more than 100 miles from the primary care managers office is currently a benefit under paragraph (a) of section 1074i, title 10 United States Code for any covered beneficiary enrolled in the TRICARE Prime program, including the active duty members and their dependents.  However this proposed rule extends a travel reimbursement for active duty members of the armed forces and their families who, because of an exceptional circumstance involving the duty assignment of the active duty member of the armed forces, are required to travel less than 100 miles but more than 60 minutes in drive time to access needed specialty care.  This travel reimbursement benefit is limited to those active duty members and their dependents, and accompaniment, enrolled in Prime or TRICARE Prime Remote.  The Director, TRICARE Management Activity,  shall issue procedures and guidelines under which authorization for reimbursement of travel expenses will be issued after verification that the member, family member, and/or  accompaniment, must travel less than 100  miles but more than 60 minutes drive time from the military treatment facility or their primary care managers office to receive required specialty care.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Enhancement of Transitional Dental Care for Members of the Reserve Component on Active Duty for More Than 30 Days in Support of a Contingency Operation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is publishing this rule to implement section 703 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (NDAA for FY10), Public Law 111-84.  Specifically, that legislation amends the transitional health care dental benefits for Reserve Component members on active duty for more than 30 days in support of a contingency operation.  The legislation entitles these Reserve Component members to dental care in the same manner as a member of the uniformed services on active duty for more than 30 days, thus providing care to the Reserve member in both military dental treatment facilities and authorized private sector dental care.  This proposed rule does not eliminate any medical or dental care that is currently covered as transitional health care for the member.  However the members dependents are not entitled to this enhanced benefit.]]></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; 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule executes the expansion of section 1078a of title 10, United States Code.  With the recent expansions of the Military Health System (MHS) coverage, particularly with the Reserve Component members, some MHS beneficiaries would not be eligible for CHCBP under certain circumstances that terminate their MHS coverage.  This provision allows the Secretary to establish CHCBP eligibility for any categories of MHS beneficiaries who otherwise would lose MHS coverage with no continued care eligibility.   This rule also includes administrative changes providing clarification on some issues and updates the final rule published in the Federal Register on September 30, 1994 (59 FR 49817).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE Retired Reserve for Members of the Retired Reserve </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes requirements and procedures for implementation of TRICARE Retired Reserve.  It addresses provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (NDAA10) (Pub. L. 11184).  The purpose of this rule is to establish the TRICARE Retired Reserve program that implements section 705 of the NDAA10.  Section 705 allows members of the Retired Reserve who are qualified for non-regular retirement, but are not yet 60 years of age, to qualify to purchase medical coverage equivalent to the TRICARE Standard (and Extra) benefit unless that member is either enrolled in, or is eligible to enroll in, a health benefit plan under Chapter 89 of Title 5, United States Code.  The amount of the premium that qualified members pay to purchase these benefits will represent the full cost as determined on an appropriate actuarial basis for coverage under the TRICARE Standard (and Extra) benefit including the cost of the program administration.  There will be one premium for member-only coverage and a separate premium for member and family coverage.  The rules and procedures otherwise outlined in 32 CFR part 199 relating to the operation and administration of the TRICARE Standard and Extra programs including the required cost-shares, deductibles and catastrophic caps for retired members and their dependents will apply to this program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Changes Included in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010; Expansion of Survivor Eligibility Under the TRICARE Dental Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is publishing this rule to implement section 704 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (NDAA for FY10), Public Law 111-84.  Specifically, that legislation expands the survivor eligibility under the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP).  The legislation entitles a child or unmarried person placed in legal custody of a member or former member, as defined in 10 U.S.C. section 1072(2), subparagraph (D) or (I), continuation of eligibility for the TDP.  The period of continued eligibility for these dependents shall be the longer of the following periods beginning on the date of the members death:  (1) three years; (2) the period ending on the date on which such dependent attains 21 years of age; or (3) in the case of such dependent who, at 21 years of age, is enrolled in a full-time course of study in a secondary school or in a full-time course of study in an institution of higher education approved by the administering Secretary and was, at the time of the members death, in fact dependent on the member for over one-half of such dependents support, the period ending on the earlier of the following dates:  (a) The date on which such dependent ceases to pursue such a course of study, as determined by the administering Secretary; or (b) the date on which such dependent attains 23 years of age.  This proposed rule does not expand the TDP eligibility of other eligible survivors.
	Survivors, who meet the new eligibility requirements, will regain TDP eligibility as of the publishing of the final rule in the Federal Register.  Retroactive payment of premiums or claims paid for dental treatment during the time of loss of TDP eligibility will not be reimbursed to surviving dependents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Defense is publishing this rule to allow coverage for otherwise covered services and supplies required in the treatment of complications (unfortunate sequelae) resulting from a noncovered incident of treatment provided in a Military Treatment Facility (MTF), when the initial noncovered service has been authorized by the MTF Commander and the MTF is unable to provide the necessary treatment of the complications.  This rule is necessary to protect TRICARE beneficiaries from incurring financial hardships due to the current regulatory restrictions that prohibit TRICARE coverage of treatment of the complications resulting from noncovered medical procedures, even when those procedures were conducted in a Department of Defense facility.]]></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)/TRICARE: Inclusion of TRICARE Retail Pharmacy Program in Federal Procurement of Pharmaceuticals
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 703 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (NDAA-08) states with respect to any prescription filled on or after the date of enactment, the TRICARE Retail Pharmacy Program shall be treated as an element of the DoD for purposes of procurement of drugs by Federal agencies under section 8126 of title 38, United States Code (U.S.C.), to the extent necessary to ensure pharmaceuticals paid for by the DoD that are provided by network retail pharmacies under the program to eligible covered beneficiaries are subject to the pricing standards in such section 8126.   DoD issued a final rule on March 17, 2009, implementing the law.  On November 30, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia remanded the final rule to DoD (without vacating the rule) for DoD to consider in its discretion whether to readopt the current iteration of the rule or adopt another approach.  This final rule is the product of that reconsideration.  DoD is readopting the 2009 final rule, with some revision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Restriction on Ball and Roller Bearings (DFARS Case 2006-D029)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Revises the domestic source restriction on acquisition of ball and roller bearings.  The current DFARS restriction on ball and roller bearings requires that the bearings and the main bearing components be manufactured in the U.S. or Canada.  This requirement was based on the restriction at 10 U.S.C. 2534(a)(5), which expired on October 1, 2005.  The proposed revision interprets the annual defense appropriations act domestic source restriction on acquisition of ball and roller bearings in a manner similar to the domestic source restriction of the Buy American Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revitalizing Base Closure Communities and Addressing Impacts of Realignment; Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 2715 of Public Law 111-84 substantially changed the authority of the Department of Defense to convey property to a local redevelopment authority (LRA) for purposes of job generation on a military installation closed or realigned under a base closure law, known as an Economic Development Conveyance (EDC). Under this revised authority, the Department is no longer required to seek to obtain fair market value for an EDC: an EDC may be for consideration at or below the estimated fair market value, including for no consideration.  The law also now explicitly recites authority for the Department to be flexible regarding the form of consideration, including the authority to accept consideration in the form of revenue sharing or so- called "back-end" funding. (i.e., "The Secretary may accept, as consideration, a share of the revenues that the redevelopment authority receives from third-party buyers or lessees from sales and long-term leases of the conveyed property, consideration in kind (including goods and services), real property and improvements, or such other consideration as the Secretary considers appropriate.")

The revised authority also provides that the determination of the consideration may account for the economic conditions of the local affected community and the estimated costs to redevelop the property.]]></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>

        <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>

In accordance with DoD Directive 5101.1, "DoD Executive Agent," designates the Secretary of the Army as the DoD Executive Agent for administering, managing, and executing the HAP.

Additionally, this rule will allow the Department of Defense to temporarily expand the existing Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP) in compliance with The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).  This temporary expansion covers certain persons affected by BRAC 2005, certain persons on permanent change of station (PCS) orders, and certain wounded persons and surviving spouses.  This rule updates policy, delegates authority, and assigns responsibilities for managing Expanded HAP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>High School Equivalency Program and College Assistance Migrant Program, the Federal TRIO Programs, and Gaining Early Awareness, and Readiness for Undergraduate Program </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary amends the Department's regulations governing nine competitive grant programs that provide disadvantaged individuals with preparation for and access to postsecondary education or help them persist once they enroll. These programs are the six Federal TRIO Programs, the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Program (GEAR UP), and the High School Equivalency Program (HEP) and College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP).  The Federal TRIO programs are educational opportunity outreach programs designed to assist and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to attainment of a postbaccalaureate degree.  The purpose of the GEAR UP program is to increase the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education.  HEP is designed to help migrant and seasonal farm workers or their immediate family members to obtain the equivalent of a high school diploma and then begin employment or postsecondary education or training, while CAMP is designed to help this same population to succeed in their first year of undergraduate studies at an institution of higher education.  These regulations are needed to implement provisions of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Magnet Schools Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary amends the regulations governing the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) to provide greater flexibility to school districts designing MSAP programs for the fiscal year (FY) 2010 grant competition.  These changes remove provisions in the regulations that require districts to use binary racial classifications and prohibit the creation of magnet schools that result in minority group enrollments in magnet and feeder schools exceeding the district-wide average of minority group students.  This new flexibility is necessary to permit school districts interested in receiving funds under this program to determine how best to meet program requirements while also complying with U.S. Supreme Court case law, in particular the Courts decision in Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No 1 et al., 551 U.S. 701 (2007).]]></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[Subsection 216(h) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) requires DOE 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 DOE 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, DOE intends to promulgate regulations to facilitate the coordination of such permits, special use authorizations, certifications, opinions, or other approvals necessary to site transmission facilities.  DOE notes that it has delegated to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission certain of the DOE'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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action adds 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 this action 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&apos;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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Price Competitive Sale of Strategic Petroleum Reserve Petroleum; Standard </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 21, 1983, DOE published in the Federal Register a final rule which governs the price competitive sales of petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in the event that the SPR is drawn down to respond to a severe energy supply interruption or to meet obligations of the United States under the Agreement on an International Energy Program.  The final rule provides for the publication and periodic update, as an appendix to the rule, of Standard Sales Provisions (SSPs) containing or describing contract clauses, terms and conditions of sale, and performance and financial responsibility measures, which may be used for particular sales of SPR petroleum.  First published in interim final form on January 20, 1984, the SSPs have since been updated several times, with the latest version published in the Federal Register on July 7, 2005. As provided in the rule, DOE has reviewed the current SSPs and made minor revisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards for Electric Motors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) updated the energy efficiency standards for electric motors covered in Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) and established energy efficiency standards for a larger scope of motors previously not covered. EPCA requires that a final rule determining whether to amend standards be published no later than 24 months after the effective date of the previous final rule. As EISA 2007 constitutes the previous amendment to energy conservation standards for electric motors and its effective date is December 19, 2010, DOE must publish this amendment to energy conservation standards for electric motors by December 19, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPCA directed the Secretary of Energy to determine if an energy efficiency standard was technically feasible, economically justified, and would save energy. Upon completion of a positive determination, EPCA directs the Secretary to initiate a test procedure and energy efficiency standard related to this equipment. On June 16, 2010, the Secretary determined that energy efficiency standards for high-intensity discharge lamps were technically feasible, economically justified, and would save energy. DOE is required to develop a test procedure within 30 months of this determination and develop energy efficiency standards within 18 months of the test procedure.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Title III of EPCA sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency.  Part A of title III (42 U.S.C. 6291 to 6309) provides for the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products other than Automobiles.  EPCA covers consumer products and certain commercial equipment, including clothes dryers and room are conditioners that are the subject of the rulemaking (42 U.S.C. 6292(a)(2)-(8)).  EPCA prescribes energy conservation standards for room air conditioners (42 U.S.C. 6295(c)) and directs DOE to conduct two cycles of rulemaking to determine whether to adopt amended standards (42 U.S.C. 6295(c)(3)(A)). For clothes dryers, EPCA sets a prescriptive requirement (42 U.S.C. 6294(g)(3)) and directs DOE to conduct a cycle of rulemaking to determine whether to adopt amended standards (42 U.S.C. 6294(g)(4)).  This rulemaking represents the second and first round of amendments to the standards for room air conditioners and dryers respectively.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is a technologically feasible and economically justified.  In making this determination, DOE conducts a thorough analysis of the alternative standard levels, including the existing standard, based on the criteria specified by the statute.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

DOE will, however, in compliance with all applicable law, issue standards that provide the maximum energy savings that are technologically feasibly and economically justified.  Estimates of energy savings will be provided when DOE issues the notices of proposed rulemaking for this equipment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In addition to the existing general definition of external power supply, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) defines a Class A external power supply and sets efficiency standards for those products. EISA directs DOE to publish a final rule to determine whether the standards set for Class A external power supplies should be amended.   EISA also requires DOE to issue a final rule prescribing energy conservation standards for battery chargers, if technologically feasible and economically justified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 302 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to require that test procedures for all covered products (including electric motors) be reviewed at least once every seven years. The test procedure for electric motors was originally bundled with the test procedure for small electric motors and the NPRM was published on December 22, 2008 (73 FR 78220). In light of comments received in response to the bundled NPRM, DOE changed its course with the electric motors test procedure. To ensure that the small electric motors test procedure would meet its consent decree deadline, the electric motors test procedure was de-bundled and a Supplemental NPRM for the electric motors test procedures will be issued.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE published an energy conservation standard final rule for residential furnaces and boilers in the Federal Register on November 19, 2007 (72 FR 65136).  Petitioners challenged this final rule on several grounds.  DOE filed a motion for voluntary remand to allow the agency to consider: 1) The application of regional standards in additional to national standards for furnaces, authorized by Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (enacted Dec. 19, 2007) and 2) the effect of alternative standards on natural gas prices.  This motion for voluntary remand was granted on April 21, 2009.  DOE has initiated this rulemaking to consider amended energy conservation standards for residential furnaces.]]></ABSTRACT>

In the NPRM, DOE proposed establishing energy conservation standards for standby mode and off mode. The April 2009 final rule did not contain standards for microwave ovens in these modes because a revised test procedure for microwave ovens was not finalized. DOE is continuing the microwave oven test procedure rulemaking and is revisiting the energy conservation standard rulemaking to consider whether standards for microwaves ovens in standby-mode and off-mode are technologically feasible and economically justified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards for Incandescent Reflector Lamps</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments to Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) amended the energy conservation standards to extend coverage to certain classes of IRL that had previously been outside the statutory definition of "incandescent reflector lamp" although these lamps were excluded from the statutory standard levels. However, EISA 2007 authorized DOE to amend these standards if such amendments were warranted.  Specifically, as amended, EPCA exempted certain small diameter, ellipsoidal reflector (ER) and bulged reflector (BR) lamps from standards. In June 2009, DOE published a final rule amending existing standards for IRL. In earlier stages of the June 2009 rulemaking, DOE had interpreted its authority with regard to IRL as limited to amending congressionally established standard levels only, and not to the exemptions set by Congress for certain explicitly identified small diameter, ER and BR lamps, commonly used in track lighting and recessed cans.  On further review, DOE has concluded that DOE has authority to establish efficiency standards for these currently exempt small diameter ER and BR lamps.  However, as a practical matter, DOE could not consider these lamps as part of the previous rulemaking because it had not conducted the requisite analyses to set appropriate standard levels. Pursuant to EPCA, DOE is now conducting a rulemaking as to energy conservation standards for certain incandescent reflector lamps (IRL) that have ER or BR bulb shapes, and for certain IRL with diameters less than 2.25 inches.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for Residential Furnace Fans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE is initiating its first rulemaking to consider new energy conservation standards or energy use standards for purposes of circulating air through duct work, as required under 42 U.S.C. 6295(f)(4)(D). DOE commonly refers to these products as furnace fans. EPCA directs DOE to establish test procedures in conjunction with energy conservation standards for furnace fans(42 U.S.C. 6295(r)).  To fulfill this requirement, DOE is simultaneously initiating a test procedure rulemaking for furnace fans in addition to the conservation standards rulemaking, which must be completed by December 31, 2013. DOEs test procedure is intended to provide an efficiency descriptor and the methods necessary to adequately measure the performance of the furnace fan for the purposes of developing energy conservation standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Title III of EPCA sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency. Part A of title III (42 U.S.C. 6291 to 6309) provides for the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products other than Automobiles. EPCA covers consumer products and certain commercial equipment, including the types of refrigeration products that are the subject of this rulemaking. (42 U.S.C. 6292(a)(1)) EPCA prescribes energy conservation standards for these products (42 U.S.C. 6295(b)(1)-(2)) and directs DOE to conduct three cycles of rulemakings to determine whether to adopt amended standards. (42 U.S.C. 6295(b)(3)(A)(i), (b)(3)(B)-(C), and (b)(4)) This rulemaking represents the third round of amendments to the standards for refrigeration products.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is technologically feasible and economically justified. In making this determination, DOE conducts a thorough analysis of the alternative standard levels, including the existing standard, based on the criteria specified by the statute]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[DOE believes that the benefits to the Nation of the proposed energy standards for residential refrigerators and freezers (energy savings, consumer average lifecycle cost (LCC) savings, national net present value (NPV) increase, and emission reductions) outweigh the burdens (loss of INPV and LCC increases for some small electric motor users). DOE estimates that energy savings from electricity will be 4.5 quads over 30 years and the benefit to the Nation will be between $2.56 billion and $18.80 billion.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE is publishing this notice of proposed rulemaking to implement provisions of the Energy Conservation and Production Act, as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, that require DOE to establish revised performance standards for the construction of new Federal buildings and major renovations of Federal buildings.  This notice of proposed rulemaking  specifically addresses the use of sustainable design principles for siting, design, and construction; and the use of water conservation technologies to achieve energy efficiency.  This proposed rulemaking also provides criteria for identifying a certification system and level for green buildings that encourages a comprehensive and environmentally sound approach to certification of green buildings.]]></ABSTRACT>

These regulations provide for sampling plans used in determining compliance with existing standards, manufacturer submission of compliance statements and certification reports to DOE, maintenance of compliance records by manufacturers, and the availability of enforcement actions for improper certification or noncompliance with an applicable standard. Ultimately, DOE believes the provisions developed in this rulemaking to systematically enforce applicable energy and water conservation standards for covered products and covered equipment and provide for more accurate, comprehensive information about the energy and water use characteristics of products sold in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005) prohibits the manufacture of mercury vapor lamp ballasts after January 1, 2008, which will affect the energy savings potential of standards for HID lamps.   DOE has concluded that the analysis to determine whether standards are technologically feasible and economically justified must be redone as a result of EPACT 2005.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE is publishing this technical amendment to correct citations in the Code of Federal Regulations for certain consumer products for all standards incorporated by reference (IBR), as directed by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 final rule and technical amendment which published on March 23, 2009.  In that final rulemaking, DOE restructured its centralized IBR section by removing section 430.22, created a new centralized IBR section 430.3 and created a section 430.4 for informational or guidance documents.  This document amends part 430 to correct internal cross references for all incorporations by references to section 430.22 to make them point to the new section 430.3 and also corrects all internal cross references for informational or guidance material to section 430.4.]]></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. Additionally, the title "Physical Protection of Security Interests" has been revised as "Protective Force Personnel Medical, Physical Fitness, Training, and Access Authorization Standards" to more accurately reflect the contents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would amend 10 CFR part 835, Occupational Radiation Protection, to update appendix D, Surface Contamination Values, to be consistent with the values in DOE's environmental requirements.  DOE is also considering replacing the tables of tissue weighting factors and radiation weighting factors with a requirement to use the comparable  tables from DOE Guide 441.1-1C, Radiation Protection Programs Guide for Use with title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, part 835, Occupational Radiation Protection.  While the tables in the guide are identical to those currently in 10 CFR part 835, this change will expedite any future revisions needed to the two tables.  DOE is also considering reducing the annual whole body dose limit from 5 rems per year to 2 rems per year to be consistent with international consensus standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program; Separate Category for Hepatitis A, Influenza, Meningococcal, Human Papillomavirus Vaccines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice of proposed rulemaking 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 National 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice of proposed rulemaking proposes to amend regulations at 42 CFR part 6 (FTCA Coverage of Certain Grantees and Individuals) to include additional examples of 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program; Pandemic Influenza Countermeasure Injury Table Amendment for Influenza Vaccines, Antiviral Drugs, Respiratory Protection/Support Devices, and Diagnostics</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule establishes the Pandemic Influenza Countermeasure Injury Table for Influenza Vaccines, Antiviral Medications, Respiratory Protection Devices, Respiratory Support Devices, and Diagnostics for the Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program (CICP).  The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorized the Secretary of HHS to establish the CICP to provide benefits to certain persons who sustain serious physical injury or death as a direct result of the administration or use of covered countermeasures identified by the Secretary in declarations issued under the PREP Act. In addition, the Secretary may provide death benefits to certain survivors of individuals who died as a direct result of covered injuries or their health complications. One way that an individual who was administered or used a covered countermeasure can show that they sustained a covered injury is by demonstrating that they sustained an injury listed on a Countermeasures Injury Table (Table) within the time interval set forth on the Table.  This rule will be an amendment to the CICP Administrative Interim Final Rule and will list and explain injuries that, based on compelling, reliable, valid, medical, and scientific evidence, are presumed to be caused by covered Pandemic Influenza Vaccines, Antiviral Medications, Respiratory Protection Devices, Respiratory Support Devices, and Diagnostics, and set forth the time periods in which the onset of these injuries must occur after the administration or use of these covered Pandemic influenza countermeasures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program; Radiation Injury Table Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule establishes the Radiation Injury Table for the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).  The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorized the Secretary of HHS to establish the CICP to provide benefits to certain persons who sustain serious physical injury or death as a direct result of the administration or use of covered countermeasures identified by the Secretary in declarations issued under the PREP Act.  In addition, the Secretary may provide death benefits to certain survivors of individuals who died as a direct result of covered injuries or their health complications.  One way that an individual who was administered or used a covered  countermeasure can show that they sustained a covered injury is by demonstrating that they sustained an injury listed on a Countermeasures Injury Table (Table) within the time interval set forth on the Table.  This rule will be an amendment to the CICP Administrative Interim Final Rule and will list and explain injuries that, based on compelling, reliable, valid, medical, and scientific evidence, are presumed to be caused by covered radiation countermeasures and set forth the time periods in which the onset of these injuries must occur after the administration or use of these covered radiation countermeasures.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this proposed rule is to exempt the system of records for the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) from certain provisions of the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a). Currently the system of records for the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB) has an exemption from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. In order to maintain this exemption for the HIPDB materials, which are now under the NPDB due to implementation of section 1921 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396r-2), it is necessary to expand the same privacy act exemptions for the HIPDB to the NPDB.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of Medically Underserved Populations and Health Professional Shortage Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is mandated under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-148).  It requires the Secretary to establish a committee to draft an interim final rule for designation of Medically Underserved Populations (MUPs) and Primary Care Health Professions Shortage Areas (HPSAs).  A notice of intent to form the negotiated rulemaking committee was published on May 21, 2010 (75 FR 26167) and the Secretary announced committee membership on July 21, 2010.  The rulemaking committee consists of technical experts representing stakeholders that will be significantly affected by this rule.  A variety of federal and state programs target resources to underserved populations using MUP and HPSA designations.  These designations have not been updated in many cases for over 20 years and may not reflect current conditions in many areas.  The task of the rulemaking committee is to update the designations, which will likely involve revisions to the current methodologies to reflect changes in the prevailing values of the indicators and availability of data on other indicators of underservice.   

Prior to passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Department made several attempts to revise the designations.  An initial NPRM was published on September 1, 1998, but due to the extensive comments received, another notice was published on June 3, 1999 announcing a decision to develop and publish a revised 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.  A Federal Register Notice published on July 23, 2008, announcing an Agency decision to carefully review these comments, develop a modified proposal, and publish another NPRM at a future date.]]></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) (21 CFR 16.5(a)(4)) provides that part 16 does not apply to a hearing on an order for relabeling, diversion, or destruction of 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, provided the words "keep refrigerated" appear on the principal display panel or information panel.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking comment on whether to amend the regulation governing good laboratory practices (GLPs) (21 CFR part 58--Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies).  The GLP regulation was finalized in December 1978 and prescribes GLPs for conducting nonclinical laboratory studies that support or are intended to support applications for research or marketing permits for FDA-regulated products.  Since this regulation was published, nonclinical laboratory studies have changed markedly.  To help ensure the integrity of data in nonclinical laboratory studies submitted to FDA, the agency is seeking comment about whether to propose that nonclinical facilities/laboratories follow a GLP quality system.  While many of the requirements of the existing regulation are consistent with a GLP quality system, FDA is considering modifications to incorporate all basic elements needed for a GLP quality system consistent with internationally recognized quality systems.  FDA believes that implementation of a GLP quality system may reduce regulatory burden and encourage science-based technology.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

The second action addresses acetaminophen safety. The third action addresses products marketed for children under 2 years old and weight- and age-based dosing for children's products. The fourth action addresses combination products containing the analgesic acetaminophen or aspirin and sodium bicarbonate used as an antacid ingredient. The last document finalizes the internal analgesic products monograph.]]></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 unapproved new animal drugs where edible portions of animals imported into the United States may contain residues of such drugs (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 established an import tolerance for that new animal drug and the residue of the new animal drug in the animal-derived food does not exceed that tolerance.]]></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. In addition, the proposal would include an alternative mechanism for providing certification and identification, address novelty laser products, and clarify the military exemption for laser products.]]></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 over-the-counter (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; clarify application of FDAs requirements regarding fixed-dose combinations to certain natural source drugs and certain synthetic drugs; establish circumstances under which the agency might waive the combination requirements for a particular drug or biological product; and address the issue of co-packaging.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Revisions To Implement Portions of Title XI of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 and Other Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title XI of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-173) (MMA) amended provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that govern the approval of new drug applications (NDAs), described by section 505(b)(2) of the Act (505(b)(2) applications); and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs), described by section 505(j) of the Act.  This proposed rule would implement portions of title XI of the MMA that pertain to: (1) Provision of notice to each patent owner and the NDA holder of certain patent certifications made by applicants submitting 505(b)(2) applications or ANDAs; (2) the availability of 30-month stays of approval on 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs that are otherwise ready to be approved; (3) submission of amendments and supplements to 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs; and (4) the types of bioavailability and bioequivalence data that can be used to support these applications.  This proposed rule also would amend certain regulations regarding 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs to facilitate compliance with and efficient enforcement of the Act.  This proposed rule also would amend certain regulations regarding 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs, including regulations related to certain patent certification requirements, identification of the listed drug relied upon, and suitability petitions, to facilitate compliance with and efficient enforcement of the Act.]]></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 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.  The Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004 (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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing regulations for process controls for animal feed ingredients and mixed animal feed to provide greater assurance that marketed animal feed ingredients and mixed feeds intended for all animals, including pets, are safe.  This action is being taken as part of the FDAs Animal Feed Safety System initiative. The proposed process controls will apply to animal feed ingredients and mixed animal feed, including pet food. This action is also being taken to carry out the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007.  Section 1002(a) directs FDA to establish by regulation processing standards for pet food.  This same provision of the law also directs that, in developing these new regulations, FDA obtain input from its stakeholders, including the Association of American Feed Control Officials, veterinary medical associations, animal health organizations, and pet food manufacturers.]]></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.  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.  This revision will standardize, simplify, and clarify these listings and improve the readability of the regulations.]]></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>Amendments to Regulations on Citizen Petitions, Petitions for Stay of Action, and Submission of Documents to Dockets; Implementation of Section 505(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend certain regulations relating to citizen petitions, petitions for stay of action, and the submission of documents to the agency.  We are making these changes to implement certain provisions of section 914 of title IX of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act, which added section 505(q) to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act).  In particular, the proposed rule would establish new regulations to implement section 505(q) of the Act, which concerns certain citizen petitions and petitions for stay of action that involve a request for FDA to take any form of action relating to a pending application submitted under section 505(b)(2) or (j) of the Act.  In particular, this proposal would codify the certification specified in section 505(q)(1)(H) that applies to initial citizen petitions and petitions for stay of action.  In addition, the proposal would codify the verification specified in section 505(q)(1)(I) that applies to supplemental information or comments on a citizen petition or petition for stay of action.  To avoid altering the meaning of the certification and verification specified in 505(q)(1)(H) and 505(q)(1)(I), respectively, we are proposing to require that petitioners submit the exact statutory language of the certification and verification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Animal Drugs, Feeds, and Related Products; Regulation of Carcinogenic Compounds in Food-Producing Animals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to publish a proposed rule to amend the regulations regarding compounds of carcinogenic concern used in food-producing animals. No food additive or drug can be deemed safe for use in a food if it is found to induce cancer in man or animals. An exception can be made if it can be found that (1) an animal feed additive or veterinary drug will not adversely affect the animal and (2) no residue of the animal feed additive or veterinary drug will be found in any edible portion of that animal. The approach permits the determination of the quantity of residues of carcinogenic concern in edible tissues (e.g. meat) that may be consumed daily by the human consumer with no significant increase in the risk of cancer. This quantity is termed the S<sub>o</sub>. The S<sub>o</sub> quantity is expressed as the concentration of residue of carcinogenic concern in the total diet that can safely be consumed by humans over a lifetime.  The total diet refers to the daily 1500g typically consumed, of which 500g is assumed to come from meat.  The S<sub>o</sub> is typically presented as mg per person per day, or mg per kg body weight per day. The S<sub>o</sub> is currently defined by regulation primarily as the concentration of the carcinogenic compound that corresponds to a maximum lifetime risk to the test animals of 1 in 1 million, and secondarily as corresponding to the concentration of residue of carcinogenic concern in the total human diet that represents no significant increase in the risk of cancer to people. 

FDA believes that a careful reading of the December 31, 1987, final rule (52 FR 49586) suggests that an emphasis on no significant increase in the risk of cancer to the human consumer, rather than on the specific 1 in 1 million approach, reflects the original intent of the regulation. Specifically, FDA is proposing a revision to the definition of S<sub>o</sub> for clarification purposes so that the term primarily means the concentration of residue of carcinogenic concern in the total human diet that represents no significant increase in the risk of cancer to the human consumer and secondarily corresponds to the concentration of test compound in the total diet of test animals that corresponds to a maximum lifetime risk of cancer in the test animals of 1 in 1 million.  

FDA is also proposing a redefinition of S<sub>m</sub> to conform to the revised definition of S<sub>o</sub>.  The total quantity of residues of carcinogenic concern in edible tissues derived from the S<sub>o</sub> is termed the S<sub>m</sub>.  The S<sub>m</sub> quantity is expressed as the total concentration of residues of carcinogenic concern in food which, when eaten at a given consumption rate, would not exceed the S<sub>o</sub>.  Specifically, FDA is proposing that S<sub>m</sub> would mean the concentration of a residue of carcinogenic concern in a specific edible tissue corresponding to no significant increase in the risk of cancer to the human consumer, thus aligning more closely with the primary definition of S<sub>o</sub>. These changes reflect advances in scientific technology.  Other clarifying and conforming changes are also being proposed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sunlamp Products; Proposed Amendment to the Performance Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Aministration's (FDA's) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) intends to amend its standard for sunlamp products (21 CFR 1040.20). The sunlamp standard was promulgated in 1979, and FDA has not issued any amendments since 1985. CDRH issued two Policy Letters in 1985 and 1986, outlining FDA policy and providing a recommended exposure schedule. In 1999, FDA published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) that sought input on several proposed changes to the FDA performance standard for sunlamp products. The agency received 27 comments to the ANPRM. A summary is available on request.

FDA plans to update the performance standard for sunlamp products to improve safety, reflect new scientific information, and work towards harmonization with international standards.  FDA scientists have participated in amendments to the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) international standard, IEC 60335-2-27, over the past 10 years.  There are many elements of the IEC standard which FDA is considering adopting in our standard.  Adopting specific elements of the IEC standard by reference would allow the agency to take advantage of the expertise of the international committees involved in the modernization of the international standard, and thus save agency resources. FDA also plans to include changes to the required warning label.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[A unique device identification system will help reduce medical errors; will allow FDA, the healthcare community, and industry to more rapidly review and organize adverse event reports; identify problems relating to a particular device (even down to a particular lot or batch, range of serial numbers, or range of manufacturing or expiration dates); and thereby allow for more rapid, effective, corrective actions that focus sharply on the specific devices that are of concern.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule is provided for/mandated by FDAAA.  Section 519(f) of the FD&C Act (added by sec. 226 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007) directs the Secretary to promulgate regulations establishing a unique device identification (UDI) system for medical devices, requiring the label of devices to bear a unique identifier that will adequately identify the device through its distribution and use.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA considered several alternatives that allow certain requirements of the proposed rule to vary, such as the required elements of a UDI and the scope of affected devices.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA estimates that the affected industry would incur one-time and recurring costs, including administrative costs, to change and print labels that include the required elements of a UDI, costs to purchase equipment to print and verify the UDI, and costs to purchase software, integrate and validate the UDI into existing IT systems.  Certain entities would be required to submit information about each UDI and the relevant medical device into a  database, FDA would incur costs to develop, implement, and administer a database that would serve as a repository of information to facilitate the identification of medical devices through their distribution and use.  FDA anticipates that implementation of a UDI system would help improve the efficiency of recalled medical devices and medical device adverse event reporting. The proposed rule would also standardize how medical devices are identified and contribute to future potential public health benefits of initiatives aimed at optimizing the use of automated systems in healthcare.  Most of these benefits, however, require complementary developments and innovations in the private and public sectors.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule is intended to substantially eliminate existing obstacles to the adequate identification of medical devices used in the Unites States.  By providing the means to rapidly and definitely identify a device and key attributes that affect its safe and effective use, the rule would reduce medical errors that result from misidentification of a device or confusion concerning its appropriate use.  The rule will fulfill a statutory directive to establish a unique device identification system.]]></RISKS>

The term tropical disease means any of the diseases listed in section 524(a)(3), and any other infectious disease for which there is no significant market in developed nations and that disproportionately affects poor and marginalized populations, designated by regulation by the Secretary.  The proposed rule will designate tropical diseases to be added to the list in accordance with section 524(a)(3)(Q).]]></ABSTRACT>

In the re-issued 1996 rule, 21 CFR 1140.16(a) is identical to section 897.16(a) in the 1996 final rule.  Section 102(a)(3) and (4) of the FSPTCA give FDA the authority to amend the rule in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. Chapter 5).  FDA is proposing to amend 21 CFR 1140.16(a), which became effective June 22, 2010, to allow the manufacturer of a cigarette or smokeless tobacco product with a trade or brand name that is also the trade or brand name of a nontobacco product to continue to use the name if the tobacco product was sold in the United States on or before June 22, 2009.  FDA is evaluating whether further changes to 21 CFR 1140.16(a) are warranted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 4 of the FCLAA, as amended by section 201 of the Tobacco Control Act, requires FDA to issue regulations that require color graphics depicting the negative health consequences of smoking to accompany required warning statements. FDA also may adjust the type size, text and format of the required label statements on product packaging and advertising if FDA determines that it is appropriate so that both the graphics and the accompanying label statements are clear, conspicuous, legible and appear within the specified area.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This proposed rule is necessary to amend FDA's regulations to add a new requirement for the display of health warnings on cigarette packages and in cigarette advertisements and to specify the color graphics that must accompany each textual warning statement.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The proposed rule would implement a provision of the Tobacco Control Act that requires FDA to issue regulations requiring color graphics depicting the negative health consequences of smoking to accompany the nine new textual warning statements that will be required under the Tobacco Control Act.  The Tobacco Control Act amends the FCLAA to require each cigarette package and advertisement to bear one of nine new textual warning statements.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Agency will compare the proposed rule to two hypothetical alternatives: An otherwise identical rule with a 24-month compliance period and an otherwise identical rule with a 6-month compliance period.  Although we will compare the rule to two hypothetical alternatives, they are not viable regulatory options as they are inconsistent with FDAs statutory mandate.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The largest benefits of this proposed rule stem from increased life expectancies for individuals who are induced not to smoke.  Other quantifiable benefits come from reductions in cases of non-fatal emphysema, reductions in fire losses, and reductions in medical expenditures.  Unquantifiable benefits come from reductions in smokers' non-fatal illnesses other than emphysema, reductions in passive smoking, and reductions in infant and child health effects due to mothers' smoking during pregnancy.

Large, one-time costs will arise from the need to change cigarette package labels and remove point-of-sale promotions that do not comply with the new advertising restrictions.  Additionally, there will be smaller ongoing FDA enforcement costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This proposed rule would reduce the risk to the public by helping to clearly and effectively convey the negative health consequences of smoking on cigarette packages and in cigarette advertisements, which would help both to discourage non-smokers, including minor children, from initiating cigarette use and to encourage current smokers to consider cessation.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 105 of the Animal Drug User Fee Amendments of 2008 (ADUFA) amended section 512 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) (21 USC 360b) to require that the sponsor of each new animal drug product that contains an antimicrobial agent submit an annual report to the Food and Drug Administration on the amount of each antimicrobial active ingredient in the drug product that is sold or distributed for use in food-producing animals, including information on any distributor-labeled product.  This rulemaking is intended to establish the implementing regulations for this statutory provision.  In addition, FDA is exploring the establishment of other requirements to provide for the collection of more useful drug distribution data.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Human Subject Protection; Acceptance of Clinical Studies Conducted Outside the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations on acceptance of data from clinical studies conducted outside the United States in support of a premarket approval application or a humanitarian device exemption application for a medical device. FDA is proposing to require that these studies be conducted in accordance with good clinical practice (GCP). FDA proposes to define GCP as a standard for the design, conduct, performance, monitoring, auditing, recording, analysis, and reporting of clinical trials in a way that provides assurance that the data and reported results are credible and accurate, and that the rights, safety, and well-being of trial subjects are protected. GCP also would include review and approval by an independent ethics committee (IEC) before initiating a study, continuing IEC review of ongoing studies, and obtaining and documenting freely given informed consent of study subjects. FDA is also proposing to include requirements for the submission of clinical data in support of an investigational device exemption application and a premarket notification submission. The proposed changes will require a statement regarding compliance with FDA regulations for studies conducted in the United States and compliance with GCP for studies conducted outside the United States. With the above described changes, the proposed rule is intended to update the standards for the acceptance of clinical studies and to help to continue to ensure the protection of human subjects and the quality and integrity of data obtained from these studies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the regulations to expand the scope of clinical investigator disqualification.  Under this proposal, when the Commissioner of Food and Drugs determines that an investigator is ineligible to receive certain investigational products such as drugs (including biologics), new animal drugs, or devices, the investigator also will be ineligible to conduct any clinical investigation that supports an application for a research or marketing permit for products regulated by the FDA. This proposal is based in part upon recommendations from the Government Accountability Office. Also, this proposal harmonizes existing FDA investigator disqualification regulations. This proposal is intended to help ensure adequate protection of research subjects and the quality and integrity of data submitted to FDA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Labeling; Dietary Guidance Statements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would define dietary guidance statements as statements in food labeling about the usefulness of a food, or a category of foods in maintaining healthy dietary practices. Dietary guidance statements focus on general dietary patterns, practices, and recommendations that promote health. They may highlight the presence or amount of a food or category of foods in relation to a general health benefit or healthful diet or recommend the substitution of a food or food category that is consistent with current dietary recommendations for a food or food category that is less beneficial to health. The proposed rule would also establish requirements for making dietary guidance statements in food labeling. In addition, the proposed rule provides guidance on how dietary guidance statements differ from other types of food labeling claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to request data and information on the food transportation industry and its practices.  FDA also is requesting data and information on the contamination of transported foods and any associated outbreaks.  FDA is taking this action as part of its implementation of the Sanitary Food Transportation Act of 2005 (2005 SFTA), which requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to issue regulations setting forth sanitary transportation practices to be followed by shippers, carriers by motor vehicle or rail vehicle, receivers, and others engaged in food transport.  This action is also part of a larger agency effort to focus on prevention of food safety problems throughout the food chain.  The regulations would address the risks to human or animal health associated with the transportation of food.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the CGTPs to Create Urgent Medical Need Exception for Distribution of Certain HCT/Ps That May Not Meet Release Criteria</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the current good tissue practice (CGTP) regulations to provide an exception in situations of documented urgent medical need for distribution of certain minimally manipulated human cells, tissues, and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) for homologous use, which may not meet release criteria because of the potential or actual presence of bacteria or fungi.  As part of this rulemaking, FDA also is proposing amendments to the CGTP regulations in connection with labeling and physician notification as to these HCT/Ps.  This action is intended to enhance access to medically necessary products in cases of documented urgent medical need where there is no comparable HCT/P available and the treating physician has determined that the recipient is likely to suffer death or serious morbidity without the HCT/P.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Hospital and Personal Use Devices: Designation of Special Controls for Infusion Pumps</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since 2003, FDA has seen a dramatic increase in the number of device recalls, as well as an increase in the number of death and serious injury reports submitted regarding infusion pumps.  An analysis of the reports reveals that a majority of the recalls and failures were caused by user error and/or device design flaw.  As a result of these incidents, FDA is proposing to designate a special controls guidance document as the special controls for infusion pumps.  The agency believes that establishing these special controls for infusion pumps is necessary to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of these devices.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[On March 23, 2010, the Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148) was signed into law.  Section 4205 amended 403(q)(5) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by creating new clause (H) to require that vending machine operators, who own or operate 20 or more machines, disclose calories for food items.  FDA has the authority to issue this proposed rule under section 403(q)(5)(H)  and 701(a) (21 U.S.C. 343(q)(5)(H), and 371(a)). Section 701(a) of the act vests the Secretary (and, by delegation, the FDA) with the authority to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Section 4205 requires the Secretary (and, by delegation, the FDA) to establish, by regulation, requirements for calorie disclosure of food items for vending machine operators, who own or operate 20 or more machines.  Therefore, there are no alternatives to rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The bulk of the costs associated with this rule will be in managing the actual disclosure of calories at the machine.  Since almost all vending machines sell food that is previously manufactured and packaged, most vended foods are subject to the Nutrition Labeling Education Act, which means that calorie content is already collected.  A likely scenario for response to vending machine labeling is that food manufacturers include a set of calorie label stickers in each case of product.

Since consumers of vended foods do not generally have access to nutrition information prior to purchase, requiring that operators make that information available should benefit consumers.  Consumers may ignore future costs of overeating, relative to the current gains from eating, even when they understand the connection.  Therefore, consumers do not generally demand calorie and other nutrition information for food away from home, even when they do, given a wider frame of reference, value that information.  Given the costs and the uncertain reception for calorie information that many consumers appear not to care about, most vending machine operators have chosen not to display calorie information.  The requirements of the proposed rule, specifically, that calorie and other nutrition information appear at the point of purchase, solves the apparent market failure in providing information provision stemming from present-biased preferences.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[For some vending machine foods, consumers cannot view the nutrition facts panel or otherwise see nutrition information prior to purchasing the item. Completion of this rulemaking will provide consumers information about the nutritional content of food to empower them to make healthier food choices from vending machines.]]></RISKS>

Section 4205 amended 403(q)(5) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by creating new clause (H) to require that chain restaurants, with 20 or more locations, require certain nutrient disclosure.  Specifically, section 4205 required the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue a proposed regulation to carry out clause (H) of the ACA no later than 1 year of enactment of this clause (i.e., Mar. 23, 2011).   FDA has the authority to issue this proposed rule under section 403(q)(5)(H)  and 701(a) (21 U.S.C. 343(q)(5)(H), and 371(a)). Section 701(a) of the act vests the Secretary (and, by delegation, the FDA) with the authority to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the act.

As directed by section 4205, FDA is proposing requirements for menu calorie declaration, as well as other nutrition information declaration to implement the provisions of 403(q)(5)(H).  FDA is also proposing the terms and conditions for registering to voluntarily be subject to the requirements of section 4205.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Chain restaurants operating in local jurisdictions that impose different nutrition labeling requirements will benefit from having a uniform national standard. Any restaurant, with fewer than 20 locations, may opt in to the national standard to receive this benefit. Many chain restaurants, with 20 or more locations, will bear costs for adding nutrition information to menus and menu boards. Consumers will benefit from having important nutrition information for the approximately 30 per cent of calories consumed away from home.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Americans now consume an estimated one-third of their total calories on foods prepared outside the home and spend almost half of their food dollars on such foods.  Unlike packaged foods that are labeled with nutrition information, foods in restaurants, for the most part, do not have nutrition information.

        <RULE_TITLE>New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and Minor Species</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004 (MUMS Act) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) to establish new regulatory procedures that provide incentives intended to make more drugs legally available to veterinarians and animal owners for the treatment of minor animal species and uncommon diseases in major animal species. FDA published the final rule to implement these regulations (21 CFR part 516) on July 26, 2007 (72 FR 41010). 

FDA is issuing this direct final rule to amend its regulations regarding new animal drugs for minor use and minor species (MUMS) in part 516 to update language and clarify the intent of the regulations consistent with the preambles to the proposed and final rules. In sectiom 516.3(b), FDA is amending the definition of same dosage form to make it clearer that the six dosage form categories listed in the  regulations under numbers (i) through (vi) are the categories of dosage forms that the preamble to the proposed rule referenced as follows: The second test of sameness which the statute establishes to determine eligibility of an animal drug for designation is 'same dosage form.' The Agency proposes to use the long-established dosage form categories listed in title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations to implement this statutory requirement. (70 FR 56394 at 56398). To accomplish this clarification, the amendment will add the word categories after the phrase dosage forms and remove the s from forms in the first sentence  of the definition.

Section 516.20(b)(2) requires that requests for MUMS designation include the generic and trade name, if any, of the drug intended to be designated and FDA is amending this language to replace the terms generic and trade with the terms established and proprietary, respectively, because the latter are the terms used in the Act.  See section 502(e) of the act (21 U.S.C. section 352(e)).  FDA is also revising this language to clarify that drug in the context of paragraph (b)(2) refers to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) name rather than to a formulated drug product name. The purpose of the information required in this provision of the regulation is to permit the Agency to determine whether a drug is eligible for designation on the basis that it is not the same drug as a drug that is already designated, conditionally approved, or approved (see section 573(a)(2)(B) of the Act) and, since the definition of same drug in section 516.3(b) requires a knowledge of the drugs active moiety in order to make this determination, a request for MUMS designation needs to include the API name. This is because the API name includes the active moiety and the drug product name normally does not.  FDA is also clarifying the relationship between established and proprietary names in this context with the use of parentheses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Postmarketing Safety Reporting Requirements for Human Drug and Biological Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule would amend the postmarketing expedited and periodic safety reporting regulations for human drugs and biological products to revise certain definitions and reporting formats as recommended by the International Conference on Harmonisation and to define new terms; to add to or revise current reporting requirements; to revise certain reporting time frames; and to propose other revisions to these regulations to enhance the quality of safety reports received by FDA. 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[This final rule will affirm the interim final rule's exception from the general requirement for informed consent in certain circumstances involving the use of investigational in vitro diagnostic devices to identify chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear agents in a potential terrorist event or other public health emergency. Informed consent will be required unless the clinical investigator determines in writing that: 1) There exists a life-threatening situation involving the human subject of such testing which necessitates the use of the investigational device; 2) it is not feasible to obtain informed consent from the subject; and 3) there is not sufficient time to obtain such consent from his or her representative. Further, a licensed physician uninvolved in the testing must agree in writing with this three-part determination before the product is used unless immediate use of the device is required to save the life of the human subject of such testing and there is not sufficient time to get such concurrence.  This final rule adds a requirement that the investigator submit the required documentation to FDA in addition to submitting the documentation to the Institutional Review Board (IRB).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a proposed rule to reclassify pressure regulators for use with medical oxygen from class I to class II, establish a separate classification for oxygen conserving devices, and establish a special control for these devices to address problems of fire and explosion associated with use of these devices. The special control discussed in the proposed rule is a guidance document that includes standardized testing, performance, and labeling guidance for industry. Under the proposed rule, oxygen pressure regulators that meet the standard identified in a special controls guidance document would be exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.  FDA anticipates that the requirements of a final rule would 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 accidents, do not occur in the future.  FDA has described a number of proposals in the proposed rule including requiring that gas use outlet connections on portable cryogenic medical gas containers be permanently attached to the valve body.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Content and Format of Labeling for Human Prescription Drugs and Biologics; Requirements for Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To amend the regulations governing the format and content of labeling for human prescription drugs and biological products (21 CFR parts 201.56, 201.57, and 201.80).  Under FDAs current regulations, labeling concerning the use of prescription drugs in pregnancy uses letter categories (A, B, C, D, X) to characterize the risk to the fetus of using the drug in pregnancy. One of the deficiencies of the category system is that drugs may be assigned to the same category when the severity, incidence, and types of risk are quite different. Dissatisfaction with the category system has been expressed by health care providers, medical organizations, experts in the study of birth defects, womens health researchers, and women of childbearing age.  Stakeholders consulted through a public hearing, several focus groups, and several advisory committees have recommended that FDA replace the category system with a concise narrative summarizing a products risks to pregnant women and to women of childbearing age. Therefore, the revised format and the information provided in the labeling would make it easier for health care providers to understand the risks and benefits of drug use during pregnancy and lactation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Blood Initiative--Revisions to Labeling Requirements for Blood and Blood Components, Including Source Plasma, and Technical Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.  The rule will also consolidate most of the regulations applicable to labeling standards for blood and blood components, including Source Plasma.  For example, most labeling requirements for all blood and blood components, including Source Plasma, found previously in 21 CFR 606.121 and 21 CFR 640.70, will be  found in 21 CFR 606.121.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The agency published a proposed rule on July 9, 1996, that would establish current good manufacturing practice regulations, quality control procedures, quality factors, notification requirements, records and reports for the production of infant formula.  This proposal was issued in response to the 1986 Amendments to the Infant Formula Act of 1980. On April 28, 2003, FDA reopened the comment period to update comments on the proposal.  The comment was extended on June 27, 2003 and ended on August 26, 2003.  The comment period was reopened on August 1, 2006 and ended on September 15, 2006.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Infant Formula Act of 1980 (the 1980 Act) (Pub. L. 96-359) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) to include section 412 (21 U.S.C. 350a).  This law is intended to improve protection of infants consuming infant formula products by establishing greater regulatory control over the formulation and production of infant formula.  In 1982, FDA adopted infant formula recall procedures in subpart D of 21 CFR part 107 of its regulations (47 FR 18832, Apr. 30, 1982), and infant formula quality control procedures in subpart B of 21 CFR part 106 (47 FR 17016, Apr. 20, 1982).  In 1985, FDA further implemented the 1980 Act by establishing subparts B, C, and D in 21 CFR part 107 regarding the labeling of infant formula, exempt infant formulas, and nutrient requirements for infant formula, respectively (50 FR 1833, Jan. 14, 1985; 50 FR 48183, Nov. 22, 1985; and 50 FR 45106, Oct. 30, 1985).  

In 1986, Congress, as part of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-570) (the 1986 amendments), amended section 412 of the act to address concerns that had been expressed by Congress and consumers about the 1980 Act and its implementation related to the sufficiency of quality control testing, CGMP, recordkeeping, and recall requirements.  The 1986 amendments: (1) State that an infant formula is deemed to be adulterated if it fails to provide certain required nutrients, fails to meet quality factor requirements established by the Secretary (and, by delegation, FDA), or if it is not processed in compliance with the CGMP and quality control procedures established by the Secretary; (2) require that the Secretary issue regulations establishing requirements for quality factors and CGMP, including quality control procedures; (3) require that infant formula manufacturers regularly audit their operations to ensure that those operations comply with CGMP and quality control procedure regulations; (4) expand the circumstances in which firms must make a submission to the Agency to include when there is a major change in an infant formula or  a change that may affect whether the formula is adulterated; (5) specify the nutrient quality control testing that must be done on each batch of infant formula; (6) modify the infant formula recall requirements; and (7) give the Secretary authority to establish requirements for retention of records, including records necessary to demonstrate compliance with CGMP and quality control procedures.  In 1989, the Agency implemented the provisions on recalls (secs. 412(f) and (g) of the act) by establishing subpart E in 21 CFR part 107 (54 FR 4006, Jan. 27, 1989).  In 1991, the Agency implemented the provisions on record and record retention requirements by revising 21 CFR 106.100 (56 FR 66566, Dec. 24, 1991).

The Agency has already promulgated regulations that respond to a number of the provisions of the 1986 amendments.  The final rule would address additional provisions of these amendments.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The 1986 amendments require the Secretary (and, by delegation, FDA) to establish, by regulation, requirements for quality factors and CGMPs, including quality control procedures.  Therefore, there are no alternatives to rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA estimates that the costs from the final rule to producers of infant formula would include first year and recurring costs (e.g., administrative costs, implementation of quality controls, records, audit plans and assurances of quality factors in new infant formulas). FDA anticipates that the primary benefits would be a reduced risk of illness due to Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella spp in infant formula. Additional benefits stem from the quality factors requirements that would assure the healthy growth of infants consuming infant formula. Monetized estimates of costs and benefits for this final rule are not available at this time. The analysis for the proposed rule estimated costs of less than $1 million per year. FDA was not able to quantify benefits in the analysis for the proposed rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Special controls for infant formula manufacturing are especially important because infant formula, particularly powdered infant formula, is an ideal medium for bacterial growth and because infants are at high risk of foodborne illness because of their immature immune systems. In addition, quality factors are of critical need to assure that the infant formula supports healthy growth in the first months of life when infant formula may be an infant's sole source of nutrition.  The provisions of this rule will address weaknesses in production that may allow contamination of infant formula, including, contamination with C. sakazakii and Salmonella spp which can lead to serious illness with devastating sequelae and/or death. The provisions would also assure that new infant formulas support healthy growth in infants.]]></RISKS>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Combination Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule is intended to clarify and codify the current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirements for combination products (combinations of a drug, device, and/or biological product).  The final rule is intended to ensure consistency and appropriateness in the regulation of combination products. The final rule will provide a flexible, 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 implement either the drug CGMP or device quality system regulation if both would apply to their manufacture of the combination product, provided that they also incorporate select, key provisions from the other set of these regulations.  It would avoid the necessity to fully implement both sets of cGMP regulations when manufacturing combination products.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rule would provide a framework for the reporting of adverse events for combination products.

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Device Reporting; Electronic Submission Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its postmarket medical device reporting (MDR) 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The final rule would require user facilities and medical device manufacturers and importers to submit medical device adverse event reports in electronic format instead of using a paper form.  FDA is taking this action to improve its adverse event reporting program by enabling it to more quickly receive and process these reports.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Agency has legal authority under section 519 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require adverse event reports. The final rule would require manufacturers, importers, and user facilities to change their procedures to send reports of medical device adverse events to FDA in electronic format instead of using a hard copy form.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[There are two alternatives.  The first alternative is to allow the voluntary submission of electronic MDRs.  If a substantial number of reporters fail to voluntarily submit electronic MDRs, FDA will not obtain the benefits of standardized formats and quicker access to medical device adverse event data.  The second alternative is to allow small entities more time to comply.  Because so many device companies are small entities, this would significantly postpone the benefits of the rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The principal benefit would be to public health because the increased speed in the processing and analysis of 173,000 medical device reports currently submitted annually on paper. In addition, requiring electronic submission would reduce FDA annual operating costs by $1.9 million and generate industry savings of about $9.8 million.

The total one-time cost for modifying SOPs and establishing electronic submission capabilities is estimated to range from $81.4 million to $101.0 million.  Annually recurring costs totaled $8.8 million and included maintenance of electronic submission capabilities, including renewing the electronic certificate, and for some firms, the incremental cost to maintain high-speed Internet access.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

However, for those companies that do not have access to the Web, FDA will offer an avenue by which they can register, list, and update information with a paper submission.  The rule also will amend part 807 to reflect the timeframes for device establishment registration and listing established by sections 222 and 223 of Food and Drug Administration Amendment Act (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>

FDA also is amending 21 CFR part 807 to reflect the requirements in section 321 of the BT Act for foreign establishments to furnish additional information as part of their registration.

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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, including not only those that are approved, licensed, or cleared for marketing, but also those that are investigational.  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>Postmarketing Safety Reports for Human Drug and Biological Products: Electronic Submission Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final 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 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 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 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[Constituent materials include ingredients, preservatives, diluents, adjuvants, extraneous protein, and antibiotics that are contained in a biological product.  This action will allow flexibility for manufacturing biological products, including innovative lifesaving products, that do not currently comply with the requirements for constituent materials but have been demonstrated to be safe, pure, and potent products.  FDA is amending the regulation for constituent materials to allow the Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) and the Director of the Center for Drugs Evaluation and Research (CDER) to approve an exception or alternative to the requirements under section 610.15, when the exception or alternative is sufficient to ensure the safety, purity, and potency of the biological product. This final rule will provide manufacturers of innovative biological products and manufacturers of currently approved products with flexibility, as appropriate, to employ advances in science and technology as they become available, without diminishing public health protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its regulations concerning direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertisements of prescription drugs. Advertisements broadcast through media must disclose the products major risks in what is sometimes called the major statement.  The rule implements provisions of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) by requiring that the major statement in DTC television and radio advertisements relating to the side effects and contraindications of an advertised prescription drug be presented in a clear, conspicuous, and neutral manner.  FDA is also implementing, as directed by FDAAA, standards that would be considered in determining whether the major statement in these advertisements is presented in the manner required by FDAAA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirement for Submission of Information on Pediatric Subpopulations That Suffer From a Disease or Condition That a Device Is Intended To Treat, Diagnose, or Cure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulation would implement section 515A(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (added by FDAAA) by amending part 814 to require applicants who submit premarket approval applications (PMAs), product development protocols (PDPs), and applications for humanitarian device exemptions (HDEs) to include readily available information regarding the actual and potential pediatric use of their medical device. These applications must include if readily available: A description of any pediatric subpopulations that suffer from the disease or condition that the device is intended to treat, diagnose, or cure; and the number of affected pediatric patients. The proposed rule does not require additional clinical research or other costly efforts, and simply requires the applicant to briefly summarize readily available information that will have been reviewed by the applicant during the course of its development of the device and preparation of its application to FDA. 
The information submitted will allow FDA to track the number of approved devices for which there is a pediatric subpopulation that suffers from the disease or condition that the device is intended to treat, diagnose, or cure; the number of approved devices labeled for use in pediatric patients; the number of approved pediatric devices that were exempted from a review fee pursuant to section 738(a)(2)(B)(v) of the act; and the review time for each such device.]]></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.  FDA also published an Interim Final Rule in the same Federal Register (72 FR 34959) that provided a procedure for requesting an exemption from the final rule requirement 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Current Good Manufacturing Practice in Manufacturing, Processing, Packing, or Holding of Drugs; Revision of Certain Labeling Controls</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987; Prescription Drug Amendments of 1992; Policies, Requirements, and Administrative Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, FDA is currently undertaking a review of regulations promulgated under the Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA) including those contained in 21 CFR part 203 and 21 CFR sections 205.3 and 205.50 (as amended in 64 FR 67762 and 67763). The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulations in 21 CFR part 203 and 21 CFR sections 205.3 and 205.50 (as amended in 64 FR 67762 and 67763) should be continued without change, or whether they should be amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of applicable statues, to minimize adverse impacts on a substantial number of small entities. FDA solicited comments on the following: (1) The continued need for the regulations in 21 CFR part 203 and 21 CFR sections 205.3 and 205.50 (as amended in 64 FR 67762 and 67763); (2) the nature of complaints or comments received from the public concerning the regulations in 21 CFR part 203 and 21 CFR sections 205.3 and 205.50 (as amended in 64 FR 67762 and 67763); (3) the complexity of the regulations in 21 CFR part 203 and 21 CFR sections 205.3 and 205.50 (as amended in 64 FR 67762 and 67763); (4) the extent to which the regulations in 21 CFR part 203 and 21 CFR sections 205.3 and 205.50 (as amended in 64 FR 67762 and 67763) overlap, duplicate, or conflict with other Federal rules, and to the extent feasible, with State and local governmental rules, and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the regulations in 21 CFR part 203 and 21 CFR sections 205.3 and 205.50 (as amended in 64 FR 67762 and 67763).

FDA received one comment on this review; and FDA notes that portions of the PDMA have been stayed in connection with <i>RxUSA Wholesale, Inc., v. HHS</i>, 467 F. Supp.2d 285 (E.D.N.Y. 2006), aff?d, 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 14661 (2d Cir. 2008)); and that the litigation itself has been administratively closed (with either party having the right to reopen) through June 30, 2011. FDA is certifying that it is not feasible for the agency to complete its review by December 4, 2010, and therefore is extending the completion date by one year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Produce Safety Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that enforceable standards (as opposed to voluntary recommendations) for the production and packing of fresh produce are necessary to ensure best practices are commonly adopted.  FDA is proposing to promulgate regulations setting enforceable standards for fresh produce safety at the farm and packing house.  The purpose of the proposed rule is to reduce the risk of illness associated with contaminated fresh produce. The proposed rule will be based on prevention-oriented public health principles and incorporate what we have learned in the past decade since the agency issued general  good agricultural practice guidelines entitled Guide to Minimize Microbial Food Safety Hazards for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (GAPs Guide). The proposed rule also will reflect comments received on the agency's 1998 update of its GAPs guide and its July 2009 draft commodity specific guidances for tomatoes, leafy greens, and melons. Although the proposed rule will be based on recommendations that are included in the GAPs guide, FDA does not intend to make the entire guidance mandatory.  FDAs proposed rule would, however, set out clear standards for implementation of modern preventive controls. The proposed rule also would emphasize the importance of environmental assessments to identify hazards and possible pathways of contamination and provide examples of risk reduction practices recognizing that operators must tailor their preventive controls to particular hazards and conditions affecting their operations. The requirements of the proposed rule would be scale appropriate and commensurate with the relative risks and complexity of individual operations.  FDA intends to issue guidance after the proposed rule is finalized to assist industry in complying with the requirements of the new regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Smokeless Tobacco Warning Labels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 3 of the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986, as amended by section 204 of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, requires that packages of smokeless tobacco bear specific warning statements about the health effects of using these products and sets out specific requirements for the location, size, and appearance of such statements.  In addition, the Tobacco Control Act requires that warning statements be equally distributed and displayed on packages and rotated quarterly in advertising and requires manufacturers, importers, distributors or retailers to submit warning plans for approval.  Section 205 of the Tobacco Control Act authorizes FDA to use rulemaking to adjust the format, type size, and text of any of the label requirements, require color graphics to accompany the text, increase the required label area from 30 percent up to 50 percent of the front and rear panels of the package, or establish the format, type size, and text of any other disclosures required under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, if FDA finds that such change would promote greater public understanding of the risks associated with the use of smokeless tobacco products.  This proposed rule would clarify certain requirements in the statute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effective Date of Requirement for Premarket Approval for Four Class III Preamendments Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this proposed rule is to require the submission of a premarket approval application or notice of completion of a product development protocol for four class III preamendments devices.  This regulation will provide FDA with more oversight concerning the four class III device types that currently can be marketed via less stringent premarket notification procedures.  If finalized, this regulation will require premarket approval for the four class III device types within 90 days of the issuance of a final rule or within 30 months after final classification of the device, whichever is later.  The four devices are ventricular bypass (assist) device; pacemaker repair or replacement material; female condom; and transilluminator for breast evaluation.  The proposed rule also publicizes advisory panel findings on the four device types and provides an opportunity to request a change in classification of the devices based on new information.]]></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>Premarketing Safety Reporting Requirements for Human Drug and Biological Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has undertaken revisions to 21 CFR 312.32, 312.64, and 320.31 to better protect public health and improve safety reporting by increasing the quality of safety reports, expediting FDAs review of critical safety information, advancing worldwide consistency in the collection and submission of safety information, and strengthening the agencys ability to monitor the safety of certain human drugs and biological products.  The final rule amends 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations Restricting the Sale and Distribution of Cigarettes and Smokeless Tobacco To Protect Children and Adolescents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes regulations restricting the sale and distribution of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to children and adolescents, implementing section 102 of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA). FSPTCA sections 102 and 6(c)(1) require the Secretary to publish, within 270 days of enactment, a final rule regarding cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.  This final rule must be identical, except for several changes identified in section 102(a)(2) of FSPTCA, to part 897 of the regulations promulgated by the Secretary of HHS in the August 28, 1996, issue of the Federal Register (61 FR 44396).  

This final rule prohibits the sale of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to individuals under the age of 18 and requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to comply with certain conditions regarding access to, and promotion of, these products. Among other things, the final rule requires retailers to verify a purchaser's age by photographic identification. It also prohibits, with limited exception, free samples and prohibits the sale of these products through vending machines and self-service displays except in facilities where individuals under the age of 18 are not present or permitted at any time. The rule also limits the advertising and labeling to which children and adolescents are exposed. The rule accomplishes this by generally restricting advertising to which children and adolescents are exposed to a black-and-white, text-only format. The rule also prohibits the sale or distribution of brand-identified promotional, non-tobacco items such as hats and tee shirts. Furthermore, the rule prohibits sponsorship of sporting and other events, teams, and entries in a brand name of a tobacco product, but permits such sponsorship in a corporate name. 

FDA also published in the same issue of the Federal Register an advance notice of proposed rulemaking requesting comments, data, research, or other information on the regulation of outdoor advertising of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Over-the-Counter Human Drugs; Labeling Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 201.66 (21 CFR section 201.66) established a standardized format for the labeling of OTC drug products that included: (1) Specific headings and subheadings presented in a standardized order, (2) standardized graphical features such as headings in bold type and the use of bullet points to introduce key information, and (3) minimum standards for type size and spacing.  FDA issued the final rule to improve labeling after considering comments submitted to the agency following the publication of the proposed regulation in 1997.  In 1999, FDA published the final rule and stated that a standardized labeling format would significantly improve readability by familiarizing consumers with the types of information in OTC drug product labeling and the location of that information.  In addition, a standardized appearance and standardized content, including various user-friendly visual cues, would help consumers locate and read important health and safety information and allow quick and effective product comparisons, thereby helping consumers to select the most appropriate product.

FDA undertook a review of section 201.66 under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.  The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulation in section 201.66 should be continued without change, or whether it should be further amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of applicable statutes, to minimize adverse impacts on a substantial number of small entities.  FDA will consider, and is soliciting comments on the following: (1) The continued need for the regulation in section 201.66; (2) the nature of the complaints or comments received concerning the regulation in section 201.66; (3) the complexity of the regulations in section 201.66; (4) the extent to which the regulations in section 201.66 overlap, duplicate, or conflict with other Federal, State, or governmental rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed for the products still subject to the labeling standard regulations in section 201.

No comments were received. FDA's review of these regulations concluded that they should be continued without change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a component of its ongoing update of respirator certification standards under part 84, NIOSH  plans to modify performance testing and other specifications for the certification of powered air-purifying respirators and air-supplied respirators. These respirators are used in a variety of workplace applications, including emergency response activities. Current requirements are outdated. This advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) will solicit information from respirator manufacturers and other stakeholders to assist in the development of a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that will reflect current technological capabilities and needs. NIOSH may also solicit information relevant to the regulatory analyses required for rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Communicable Diseases: Foreign and Possessions; 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). In this NPRM, HHS/CDC is proposing to broaden its existing regulations pertaining to the importation of dogs and cats to protect the public against communicable diseases, including rabies, and to apply these same requirements to imports of domesticated ferrets. HHS/CDC also proposes to limit the ports of entry where imported live dogs, cats, and ferrets may enter the United States. Furthermore, HHS/CDC proposes to broaden and revise current import restrictions on African rodents that were originally established through an interim final rule in response to an outbreak of Monkeypox to include all members of the order Rodentia. In this NPRM, HHS/CDC is also proposing to codify existing permit requirements on the importation of bats (all animals in the order Chiroptera) into the United States. HHS/CDC is also proposing to codify an appeals provision for permits denied under this subpart. These changes are proposed under CDCs authority to prevent introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States, which includes the authority to restrict the importation of animals and animal products that pose a risk to human health.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary of Health and Human Services has the authority to promulgate regulations that establish requirements for the medical examination of aliens.  Under this authority, CDC/HHS is amending its regulations that govern medical examinations that aliens must undergo before they may be admitted to the United States.  In this NPRM, HHS/CDC is proposing to update and modernize its existing regulations by revising the list of diseases identified as a communicable disease of public health significance and by revising the definitions for drug abuse and drug addiction.  This NPRM is also proposing the addition of the vaccination requirements as provided in Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.   HHS/CDC is revising these regulations to reflect current medical knowledge and practices.   These revisions will give CDC the maximum flexibility it needs to identify and respond to newly emerging and re-emerging diseases among U.S.-bound immigrants and refugees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Possession, Use, and Transfer of Select Agents and Toxins: 1918 Influenza</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. 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."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By statute, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has broad authority to prevent introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and from one State or possession into another. Communicable disease regulations are divided into two parts: Part 71 pertaining to foreign arrivals and part 70 pertaining to 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 final rule focuses primarily on requirements relating to the reporting of deaths and illnesses onboard aircrafts and ships, and the collection of specific traveler contact information for the purpose of CDC contacting travelers in the event of an exposure to a communicable disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NIOSH certifies respirators used in a variety of industrial settings; regulations governing certification are codified in 42 CFR part 84. The fees charged to respirator manufacturers for certification of their products have not changed since 1972; the current certification fees cover less than 10 percent of the costs of generating certificates. Updating these fees will allow NIOSHs certification program to recover the costs associated with the certification process. This project will revise those fees and align them with the current requirements of 42 CFR part 84 so that fees are charged for the creation, modification and maintenance of approvals granted by NIOSHs National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory.]]></ABSTRACT>

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.  CDC is proposing to amend its regulations found at 42 CFR 71.54 restricting the importation and transportation of etiologic agents.  Currently, potential importers of etiologic agents are required to complete a permit application under the Etiologic Agent Import Permit Program (EAIPP), but there is not an on-site inspection of importer facilities.  CDC is proposing to develop procedures that will improve safety and limit potential breakage, leakage, and exposure to etiologic agents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is proposing to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) as a radiogenic cancer under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA). Under current guidelines (42 CFR 81), CLL is not considered to be caused by radiation and hence is currently not potentially compensable under EEOICPA. HHS proposes to reverse its decision to exclude CLL from such treatment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Respirator Certification Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NIOSH certifies respirators used in a variety of industrial settings; regulations governing certification are codified in 42 CFR part 84. The fees charged to respirator manufacturers for certification of their products have not changed since 1972; the current certification fees cover less than 10 percent of the costs of generating certificates. Updating these fees will allow NIOSHs certification program to recover the costs associated with the certification process. This project will revise those fees and align them with the current requirements of 42 CFR part 84 so that fees are charged for the creation, modification and maintenance of approvals granted by NIOSHs National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By statute, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has broad authority to prevent introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and from one State or possession into another. Communicable disease regulations are divided into two parts: Part 71 pertaining to foreign arrivals and part 70 pertaining to 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 final rule focuses primarily on requirements relating to the reporting of deaths and illnesses onboard aircrafts and ships, and the collection of specific traveler contact information for the purpose of CDC contacting travelers in the event of an exposure to a communicable disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Communicable Diseases: Interstate </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. Communicable disease regulations are divided into two parts: Part 71 dealing with foreign arrivals and part 70 dealing with interstate matters. This rule (42 CFR Part 70) 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 final rule focuses primarily on requirements relating to the reporting of deaths and illnesses onboard aircrafts, and the collection of specific traveler contact information for the purpose of CDC contacting travelers in the event of an exposure to a communicable disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 result 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 any 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. We are proposing this action because SARS-CoV (1) causes significant mortality, especially in the elderly; (2) has the capability to easily 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>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a component of its ongoing update of respirator certification standards under Part 84, NIOSH plans to improve certification requirements for half-mask air-purifying particulate respirators. The proposed requirements would specify minimum performance requirements and testing to be conducted by NIOSH and respirator manufacturers to demonstrate that these respirators, when selected and used correctly, provide effective respiratory protection to intended users against toxic dusts, mists, fumes, fibers, and biological and infectious aerosols. The Agency intends to improve the functionality of these respirators.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Institutes of Health Loan Repayment Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NIH proposes to issue a single set of regulations to govern all of its loan repayment (LRP) authorities.  This action will include rescinding the current regulations at 42 CFR part 68a and at 42 CFR part 68c replaced by the new consolidated set of LRP regulations.  Establishing a single set of regulations to govern all eight of the current NIH loan repayment programs rather than issuing a separate set of regulations for each program will serve to streamline regulatory requirements for the programs and enhance program participants' understanding of and compliance with program requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expanded Registration and Results Reporting at ClinicalTrials.gov</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Institutes of Health (NIH) proposes to issue new regulations that will prescribe procedures for registering and reporting the results, including adverse events, of clinical trials at ClinicalTrials.gov, in accordance with section 801 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, (FDAAA, Pub. L. 110-85).  As previously announced, the agency intends to proceed with a single rulemaking to implement the expanded registry, results reporting, and adverse event information reporting requirements of the statute. The rulemaking will also consider topics that the statute requires to be addressed in regulations intended to provide more complete results information and to enhance patient access to and understanding of the results of clinical trials [as codified in 42 U.S.C. 282(j)(3)(D), including whether results information should be required to be submitted for applicable clinical trials of drugs, biological products, or devices that have not been approved, licensed, or cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, and whether narrative summaries of clinical trials and their results can be included in the data bank without being misleading or promotional. These topics were the subject of discussion at the Public Meeting organized by NIH agency in April 2009, and of written public comments. The regulations will identify the trials that are subject to the registration and results reporting requirements (including adverse event reporting); the specific information and format of the information that must be submitted to ClinicalTrials.gov; deadlines for registering and reporting results; procedures for extending the deadlines or wavering the submission requirements; and procedures for agency review and public posting of submitted information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Institutes of Health Construction Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Institutes of Health (NIH) proposes to review and/or amend the existing regulations at 42 CFR 52b governing grants awarded by the agency and its components for construction of new buildings and the alteration, renovation, remodeling, improvement, expansion, and repair of existing buildings, including the provision of equipment necessary to make the building (or applicable part of the building) suitable for which it was constructed. The NIH proposes to revise and/or amend the regulations to promote consistency with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations at 45 CFR 74 applicable to recovery and insurance coverage. Specifically, NIH proposes to replace language in section 52b.9(a)(1) with the language in 45 CFR 74.32(c)(2), and replace the language in section 52b.10(n) with the language in 45 CFR 74.31. The narrative in section 52b.12(b) that refers to the National Cancer Institute having copies of certain resource documents would be updated. Citations in section 52b.12(c) design and construction standards would be updated. Section 52b.14(c) would be amended to reference Executive Order 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs. Reference numbers (1), (3), (4), (5), (6), and (7) in section 53b.14(d) Policies would be updated.]]></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</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Public Health Service (PHS) proposes to amend the regulations on the Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for Which PHS Funding is Sought and Responsible Prospective Contractors.  Since the promulgation of the current regulations in 1995, biomedical and behavioral research and the resulting interactions among government research institutions and the private sector have become increasingly complex.  This complexity, as well as a need to strengthen accountability, have led to the proposal of amendments that would expand and add transparency to investigator disclosure of significant financial of interests, enhance regulatory compliance and effective institutional oversight and management of investigators financial conflicts of interests, as well as the agency's ability to ensure compliance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 1911 through 1956 of the Public Health Service Act authorize the Community Mental Health Services (CMHS) Block Grant and the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant.  Regulations establishing the criteria that the Secretary would use in approving applications for the CMHS Block Grant have never been issued.   Regulations establishing the criteria for the SAPT Block Grant, except for implementation of section 1926 related to tobacco, were issued on March 31, 1993, in compliance with section 1932(d).  The regulations with regard to section 1926 were issued on January 19, 1996.  The rule will establish criteria for approving applications for the CMHS Block Grant for the first time, and update the regulations for the SAPT to reflect changes in statute and our experience over the past seventeen years.  The regulations will emphasize consistent and effective planning, reporting and expenditure of obligations, helping States prepare for the implementation of health care reform, and emphasizing the agencys role in assisting states to build and maintain more effective behavioral health systems for prevention and treatment, services and recovery supports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection and Advocacy for Individuals With Mental Illness</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A final rule implementing the requirements of the Protection and Advocacy with Mental Illness Act was published on October 15, 1997, Federal Register Vol. 62, No. 193, page 53548.  This proposed rule clarifies some of the requirements from that rule and implements changes made to the statute in the Childrens Health Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310 section 3206).   Most notably Public Law 106-310 extended the authority of the protection and advocacy (P&A) systems authorized in the legislation to provide representation to individuals living in a community setting including their own home if the total allotment under the program for any fiscal year was $30 million or more.  Prior to the passage of Public Law 106-310, the P&A systems could only represent individuals living in inpatient or residential institutions.  The allotment for the P&A program has been above $30 million since fiscal year 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Home Health Agency (HHA) Conditions of Participation (CoPs) (CMS-3819-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 CoPs were last revised in 1989.  The new requirements will 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>Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) State Plan Services Program (CMS-2249-P2)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2008, CMS issued a proposed rule that would define and describe State plan home and community-based services (HCBS) plan services implementing new section 1915(i) of the Social Security Act as added by section 6086 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005.  This section allows States, at their option, to provide home and community-based services (HCBS) under their regular State Medicaid plans.  This rule revises that proposed rule to implement provisions of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 that require oversight and assessment of the administration of home and community based services.  In addition, this rule would respond to public comments received on the pervious proposed rule pertaining to the HCBS benefit under the Medicaid State plan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementing Regulations for Reauthorization of the Children&apos;s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) (CMS-2301-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and introduce several new features as a result of the passage of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act.   For example, the rule would define and provide more guidance on the parameters of the new Express Lane Eligibility option for States including what it means to be an Express Lane agency.  It would also define the parameters for the new state option to cover pregnant women in CHIP and provide further guidance regarding the newly required dental benefit package.  In addition, it would codify the definition of individuals who are lawfully residing in the US but who are not citizens who can be enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would establish the "CHIP contingency fund" to eliminate State shortfalls in funding beginning in FY 2009.  A State may qualify for the contingency funds if it projects a funding shortfall for the fiscal year (not counting any redistributed amounts they may receive) and its average monthly child enrollment exceeds its target average number of enrollees for the fiscal year. Contingency payments equal a States projected per capita Federal spending multiplied by the excess amount. This proposed rule implements provisions of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would establish requirements for unannounced, standard and extended surveys for home health agencies (HHAs), and provides a number of sanctions that may be imposed when HHAs are out of compliance with Federal requirements.  This rule is necessary to implement changes in OBRA 87 in section 1891 of the Social Security Act. The rule would emphasizes quality of care, health, and safety for patients receiving home health services. The goal is to move systems away from a simple test of compliance to one geared toward quality services provided to patients.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would transfer the existing process requirements for hospital inpatient psychiatric and rehabilitation units that are excluded from prospective payment systems to the hospital conditions of participation (CoPs) part of the Act.  This would allow accrediting organizations to deem these units as part of their hospital accreditation process providing a timely and cost effective survey and certification process under the CoPs.  In addition, this rule would propose long term care hospital requirements mandated by the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

Sections 1819(c)(2)(A) and 1919 (c)(2)(A) of the Act state that, in general, with certain specified exceptions, a nursing facility must permit each resident to remain in the facility and must not transfer or discharge the resident from the facility.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would define individuals who have no health insurance (or other source of third party coverage) for purposes of calculating limits on the amount of payments to disproportionate share hospitals.   Recently, CMS has become aware of the potential for unintended financial impact on States and hospitals resulting from guidance associated with the 2009 promulgation of CMS-2198-F, Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital Payments. This proposed rule will ensure consistency with longstanding CMS policy and avoid any such unintended financial impact.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would implement several provisions of the Affordable Care Act of 2010.  It would implement the provision that requires States, for data submitted on or after January 1, 2010, to include data elements from the automated data system that CMS determines to be necessary for program integrity, program oversight, and administration, at such frequency as CMS shall determine.  It also would implement the provision that requires for managed care patients that the managed care plans provide data to States at a frequency and level of detail as specified by CMS.  In addition, the rule would implement the provision that provides for withholding of Federal Matching Payments to States that fail to report enrollee encounter data in the Medicaid Statistical Information System.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Funding for Medicaid Eligibility Determination and Enrollment Activities (CMS-2346-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Affordable Care Act requires States residents to apply, enroll, receive determinations, and participate in the State health subsidy programs known as the Exchange.  The ACA requires many changes to State eligibility and enrollment systems and each State is responsible for developing a secure, electronic interface allowing the exchange of data.  Existing legacy eligibility systems are not able to implement the numerous requirements.  This proposed rule is key to informing States about the higher rates that CMS will provide to help them update or build legacy eligibility systems that meet the ACA requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The intent of this final rule is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nursing home enforcement process, particularly as it relates to civil money penalties imposed by CMS.  The new provisions will reduce the delay between the identification of problems with noncompliance and the effect of certain penalties that are intended to motivate a nursing home to maintain continuous compliance with basic expectations regarding the provision of quality care.  The new provisions also eliminate a facilitys ability to significantly defer the direct financial effect of an applicable civil monetary penalty until after an often long litigation process.  Specifically, this rule would allow for civil money penalty reductions when facilities self-report and promptly correct their noncompliance; offer, in cases where civil money penalties are imposed, an independent informal dispute resolution process where interests of both facilities and residents are represented and balanced; provide for the establishment of an escrow account where civil money penalties may be placed until any applicable administrative appeal processes have been completed; and improve the extent to which civil money penalties collected from Medicare facilities can benefit nursing home residents. Through the proposed revisions, we intend to directly promote and improve the health, safety, and overall well-being of residents.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 6111 of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 amended the Act to incorporate specific provisions pertaining to the imposition and collection of civil money penalties when facilities do not meet Medicare and Medicaid participation requirements.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[None.  This rule implements a statutory requirement.  The proposed rule was published on July 12, 2010.  Alternatives proposed by commenters will be considered in the preparation of the final rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The regulatory impact statement provides that these regulatory proposals would have no consequential effect on State, local, or tribal governments or on the private sector.  The anticipated benefits of this regulation include stronger protections for nursing home residents, improved due process for nursing homes, incentives for prompt self-correction of deficiencies, and increased quality improvement.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identification of Backward Compatible Version of Adopted Standard for the E-Prescribing and Medicare Prescription Drug Program (Version 10.6)(CMS-0023-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule finalizes the voluntary use of Version 10.6 of the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) SCRIPT standard for certain e-prescribing transactions, which would enable use of e-prescribing in long-term care settings.  Although this is a discretionary rule, it stems from the recommendation of the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCHVS), based on input from industry stakeholders.  Because use of the standard would be voluntary, the rule imposes no adverse impact; however, it would allow the long-term care industry to realize the potential workflow and patient care benefits of e-prescribing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ambulatory Surgical Centers Conditions for Coverage: Same-Day Services (CMS-3217-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends and clarifies several requirements from the November 18, 2008, Outpatient Prospective Payment System final rule.  Medicare beneficiaries may be medically disadvantaged by certain requirements in the patient rights condition.  Specifically, the patient rights condition requires that Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) furnish certain information to patients in advance of the date of the procedure.  Those ASCs who routinely perform same-day procedures will be unable to provide this information prior to the date of surgery and will be out of compliance with the regulation.  Therefore, patients will be denied same-day procedures in an ASC because of current regulatory requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medicaid Program; Withdrawal of Determination of Average Manufacturer Price, Multiple Source Drug Definition, and Upper Limits for Multiple Source Drugs (CMS-2238-F2)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this rule, we withdraw two provisions that we published in a final rule, titled Medicaid Program; Prescription Drugs (referred to hereafter as AMP final rule) on July 17, 2007 in the Federal Register: the determination of Average Manufacturer Price (AMP), and the Federal upper limits (FULs) for multiple source drugs. We also withdraw the definition of multiple source drug as it was revised in the Medicaid Program; Multiple Source Drug Definition final rule published on October 7, 2008. The provisions of the AMP final rule and the definition of multiple source drug that we are proposing to withdraw were challenged in a lawsuit that was filed in November 2007. As a result of this action, the Court issued a preliminary injunction which prohibits the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) from undertaking any and all action to implement the AMP final rule to the extent such action affects Medicaid reimbursement rates for retail pharmacies under the Medicaid program and, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits CMS from posting any AMP data on a public website or otherwise disclosing any AMP data to any individual or entities. With the issuance of the preliminary injunction, CMS has been unable to implement certain provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (as regulated in the July 17, 2007 AMP final rule.) In the meantime, the challenged regulations have been superseded in significant part by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, and the Education, Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act. This document withdraws the regulatory provisions challenged in the aforementioned litigation.]]></ABSTRACT>

L. 103-43), the Department is proposing to add a new part 94 to title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Under this proposed regulation, covered institutions must follow certain requirements for preventing and responding to occurrences of retaliation against whistleblowers. The purpose of this part is to protect: 1) Persons who make a good faith allegation that a covered institution or member thereof engaged in, or failed to respond adequately, to an allegation of research misconduct; and 2) persons who cooperate in good faith with an investigation of research misconduct.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements To Implement American Health Benefit Exchanges and Other Provisions of the Affordable Care Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Affordable Care Act requires the establishment of health insurance exchanges new, competitive, consumer-centered health insurance marketplaces  that will put greater control and greater choice in the hands of individuals and small businesses. The exchanges will make purchasing health insurance easier by providing eligible consumers and businesses with one-stop-shopping where they can compare and purchase health insurance coverage.  The Affordable Care Act authorized grants to the states to help them design and establish exchanges in time for millions of Americans to choose their coverage for 2014. This proposed rule would establish the requirements for exchanges.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[HHS estimates the benefits of this regulation to come from improved information for consumers and regulators, which will in tern result in a more efficient insurance market.  Improved information for consumers will allow them to make better health insurance choices -- to choose higher quality insurers and ones that more closely match their preferences with respect to plan design.  This could result in increased satisfaction and decreased morbidity.  In addition, consumers may be more likely to choose insurers with more efficient processes, which could result in a reduction in administrative costs.  Improved information for regulators will allow for monitoring of the markets to track current industry practices, which will allow for better enforcement of current market regulations through more targeted audits that are based upon insurer responses.  Additionally, reporting requirements and the threat of targeted audit will likely influence issuer behavior to motivate compliance.  I is not possible to quantify the benefits at this time.

The direct costs imposed by the regulation are reporting requirements.  These requirements are still being developed, and will be quantified in the regulation.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Affordable Care Act requires that the Secretary issue regulations regarding the Waiver for State Innovation. This regulation provides a process for public notice and comment at the State level, including public hearings, sufficient to ensure a meaningful level of public input; a process for the submission of an application that ensures the disclosure of the provisions of law that the state involved seeks to waive and the specific plans of the State to ensure that the waiver will be in compliance with subsection (b) of section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act; a process for providing public notice and comment after the application is received by the Secretary, that is sufficient to ensure a meaningful level of public input and that does not impose requirements that are in addition to, or duplicative of, requirements imposed under the Administrative Procedures Act, or requirements that are unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome with respect to state compliance; a process for the submission to the Secretary of periodic reports by the state concerning the implementation of the program under the waiver; and a process for the periodic evaluation by the Secretary of the program under the waiver.]]></ABSTRACT>

This regulation will provide consumers with a simplified and uniform overview of their benefits, specific "Coverage Facts" or scenarios for the costs of coverage for specific episodes of care, and standardized consumer-friendly health coverage definitions.  This will allow consumers to better understand the coverage that they have and allow consumers choosing coverage to better compare coverage options.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Improved information for consumers will allow them to make better health insurance choices--to chose higher quality insurers and ones that more closely match their preference with respect to plan design.  This could result in increased satisfaction and decreased morbidity.  It is not possible to quantify the benefits at this time.

The direct costs imposed by the regulation are the creation and provision of summary documents to consumers at the time of application, prior to enrollment and at re-enrollment.  There will also be costs imposed by the creation of the coverage facts label section of the summary documents.  These requirements are still being developed and will be quantified in the regulation.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Head Start Performance Standards, Target Population, and Slot Conversion</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would modify Head Start program performance standards as necessary to reflect changes enacted in the Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007.  Changes could affect performance standards related to health, parental involvement, nutritional and social services, transitional and other services, education performance standards and measures, and standards related to family service workers, home visitors, and the condition and location of facilities.  As required by statute, regulations will be drafted following consultations with experts and consideration of the National Academy of Sciences study on Developmental Outcomes and Assessments for Young Children.  The proposed rule also will address provisions: (1) Allowing grantees to request conversion of Head Start slots to serve additional infant and toddler age children; (2) addressing children with disabilities; and (3) removing barriers to serving homeless children.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Administration for Children and Families will issue rules to amend 45 CFR chapter XIII by adding a new part 1307, Policies and Procedures for Designation Renewal of Head Start and Early Head Start Grantees, in order to respond to the statutory requirements of The Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007, which establishes that Head Start grantees will be awarded grants for a 5-year period and only grantees delivering high quality services will be given another 5-year grant non-competitively.  These regulations will describe the proposed system for designation renewal, including a proposal to transition all current continuous grants into 5-year grants over a 3-year period.  These regulations will encourage excellence, establish accountability for poor performance, and open up Head Start to new energetic organizations that may have great capacity to run high quality programs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 641 of the Head Start Act requires the Secretary of HHS to develop and implement a system for designation renewal (e.g., Designation Renewal System (DRS)) to determine if a Head Start agency is delivering a high-quality and comprehensive Head Start program that meets the educational, health, nutritional, and social needs of the children and families it serves and publish a notice in the Federal Register describing a proposed system for designation renewal, including a proposal for the transition to such system.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Administration for Children and Families is statutorily mandated to develop and implement a system for designation renewal.  As a precursor to developing the system, the Head Start Act required the Secretary to establish an Advisory Committee to inform the development of a DRS and make recommendations to the Secretary.  We are proposing to adopt the majority of the Advisory Committees recommendations in whole or with minor modifications.  In addition, we are considering additional and alternative criteria to be incorporated into the system for designation renewal, and ask for public comments regarding numerous provisions of the rule, as described in the preamble.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Agency estimates the costs of implementing the new reporting requirements described in the rule will be approximately $20,000 annually.  In addition, at least 25 percent of grantees reviewed in a year will be required to submit a competitive application for a new 5-year grant, at an estimated cost of less than $1,500 for each grantee.  In terms of benefits, the proposed system will fund only high-performing grantees in order to ensure the best services for Head Start children are provided and child outcomes are improved.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The basic premise for development of the original case closure criteria was to establish clear and concise standards which precluded premature or inappropriate closing of cases, and to identify specific areas where case closure is permitted.  As the child support program has evolved and the case types have changed, we have been asked by states to reevaluate case closure criteria in an effort to be responsive to administrative concerns for maintaining caseloads that may not be viable.  This regulation will propose new case closure criteria to help states with case closure processes, while ensuring that all viable cases remain open.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[When the tribal program regulation was published in 2004 it did not contain case closure criteria.  The growth of the tribal IV-D program and the intergovernmental nature of the casework has made case closure criteria necessary.

The changes would: revise current interstate requirements to apply to case processing in all intergovernmental cases; require the responding State IV-D agency to pay the cost of genetic testing; clarify responsibility for determining in which State tribunal a controlling order determination is made where multiple support orders exist; recognize and incorporate electronic communication advancements; and make conforming changes to the Federal substantial-compliance audit and State self-assessment requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with section 949 of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, and section 6402 of the Affordable care Act 0f 2010, this rule would revise the OIG's exclusion authority to permit any Federal health care program to request a waiver of an OIG exclusion imposed under sections 1128(a)(1), 1128(a)(3), or 1128(a)(4) of the Social Security Act if the exclusion would impose  a hardship on beneficiaries.  In addition, in accordance with sections 6406 and 6408 of the Affordable Care Act, the proposed rule would revise the OIG's exclusion authority to grant testimonial subpoena authority in exclusion cases; to add a new permissive exclusion authority for making false statements or misrepreseentation of materials facts, and; to broaden the scope of certain permissive exclusion authorities.  Finally, the proposed rule wouild revise current exclusion authorities in 42 CFR parts 1001, 1002, and 1005, to further clarify OIG's existing exclusion authorities.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[These modifications to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Enforcement Rules will benefit health care consumers by strengthening the privacy and security protections afforded their health information by HIPAA covered entities and their business associated. The Agency believe the primary cost associate with this regulation will be for covered entities to revise and redistribute their notices of privacy practices to ensure health care consumers are informed of their new rights and protections. The Agency estimates the cost of revising and redistributing these notices to total approximates $166.1 million over the first year following the effective date of the regulation.  Of this total, the cost heal care providers is estimated to be approximately $46 million and to health plans to be approximately $120.1 million.  The Agency does not believe that the additional modification to Privacy, Security, or Enforcement Rules required by this regulation will significantly increase covered entity or business associates and in some cases will reduce burden.  Further, it is expected that the costs of modifying business associate contracts will be mitigated both by the additional one-year transition period which will allow the costs of modifying contracts to be incorporated into the normal renegotiation of contracts as the contracts expire, as well as sample business associate contract language to be provided by the Agency.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 1990s, 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, 12 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>

Specifically, the amended safe harbor would protect waivers of co-insurance and deductible amounts under part A or part B of the Medicare program owed by beneficiaries covered by a Medicare SELECT policy issued in accordance with section 1882(t)(1) of the Social Security Act, if the waiver is in accordance with a price reduction agreement covering such policyholders between the Medicare SELECT issuer and the provider or supplier offering the waiver. We plan to solicit additional public input before taking Final action.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking action will amend DHS' 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 563 of the 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, the Secure Handling of Ammonium Nitrate Act, Public Law 110-161, the Department of Homeland Security is required to promulgate a rulemaking to create a registration regime for certain buyers and sellers of ammonium nitrate.  The rule, as proposed by this NPRM, would create that regime, and will aid the Federal Government in its efforts to prevent the misappropriation of ammonium nitrate for use in acts of terrorism. By preventing such misappropriation, this rule would limit terrorists abilities to threaten the public and to threaten the Nations critical infrastructure and key resources.  By securing the Nations supply of ammonium nitrate, it would be much more difficult for terrorists to obtain ammonium nitrate materials for use in improvised explosive devices.  As a result, there is a direct value in the deterrence of a catastrophic terrorist attack using ammonium nitrate, such as the Oklahoma City attack that killed over 160, injured 853 people, and is estimated to have caused $652 million in damages ($921 million in 2009).]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 563 of the 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, subtitle J-- Secure Handling of Ammonium Nitrate, Public Law 110-161, authorizes and requires this rulemaking.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security is required by statute to publish regulations implementing the Secure Handling of Ammonium Nitrate Act.  As part of its notice of proposed rulemaking, the Department will seek public comment on the numerous alternative ways in which the final Secure Handling of Ammonium Nitrate Program could carry out the requirements of the Secure Handling of Ammonium Nitrate Act.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[A proposed rule registering certain buyers and sellers of ammonium nitrate would have costs to ammonium nitrate (AN) purchasers, including farms, fertilizer mixers, farm supply wholesalers and coops, golf courses, landscaping services, explosives distributors, mines, retail garden centers, and lab supply wholesalers.  There would also be costs to AN sellers, such as ammonium nitrate fertilizer and explosive manufacturers, fertilizer mixers, farm supply wholesalers and coops, retail garden center, explosives distributors, fertilizer applicator services, and lab supply wholesalers. Costs will relate to the point of sale requirements, registration activities, recordkeeping, inspections/audits, and reporting of theft or loss.  
 
Because the value of the benefits of reducing risk of a terrorist attack is a function of both the probability of an attack and the value of the consequence, it is difficult to identify the particular risk reduction associated with the implementation of this rule.  When the proposed rule is published, DHS will provide a break even analysis.  The program elements that would help achieve the risk reductions will be discussed in the break even analysis.  These elements and related qualitative benefits include point of sale identification requirements and requiring individuals to be screened against the TSDB resulting in known bad actors being denied the ability to purchase ammonium nitrate.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Explosives containing ammonium nitrate are commonly used in terrorist attacks.  Such attacks have been carried out both domestically and internationally.  The 1995 Murrah Federal Building attack in Oklahoma City claimed the lives of 167 individuals and demonstrated firsthand to America how ammonium nitrate could be misused by terrorists.  In addition to the Murrah Building attack, the Provisional Irish Republican Army used ammonium nitrate as part of its London, England bombing campaign in the early 1980s.  More recently, ammonium nitrate was used in the 1998 East African Embassy bombings and in November 2003 bombings in Istanbul, Turkey.  Additionally, since the events of 9/11, stores of ammonium nitrate have been confiscated during raids on terrorist sites around the world, including sites in Canada, England, India, and the Philippines.

The Department of Homeland Security aims to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States and to reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism.  By preventing the misappropriation or use of ammonium nitrate in acts of terrorism, this rulemaking will support the Department's efforts to prevent terrorist attacks and to reduce the Nation's vulnerability to terrorist attacks.  This rulemaking is complementary to other Department programs seeking to reduce the risks posed by terrorism, including the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards program (which seeks in part to prevent terrorists from gaining access to dangerous chemicals) and the Transportation Worker Identification Credential program (which seeks in part to prevent terrorists from gaining access to certain critical infrastructure), among other programs.]]></RISKS>

This rule requires aliens subject to United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program biometric requirements upon entering the United States to also provide biometric identifiers prior to departing the United States from air or sea ports of departure.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The proposed rule would require aliens who are subject to US-VISIT biometric requirements upon entering the United States to provide biometric information before departing from the United States at air and sea ports of entry.  The rule proposed a performance standard for commercial air and vessel carriers to collect the biometric information and to submit this information to DHS no later than 24 hours after air carrier staff secure the aircraft doors on an international departure, or for sea travel, no later than 24 hours after the vessels departure from a U.S. port.  DHS is considering numerous alternatives based upon public comment on the alternatives in the NPRM.  Alternatives included various points in the process, kiosks, and varying levels of responsibility for the carriers and government.  DHS may select another variation between the outer bounds of the alternatives presented or another alternative if subsequent analysis warrants.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule expenditure and delay costs for a 10-year period are estimated at $3.5 billion.  Alternative costs range from $3.1 billion to $6.4 billion.  US-VISIT assessed seven categories of economic impacts other than direct expenditures.  Of these, two are economic costs:  Social costs resulting from increased traveler queue and processing time; and social costs resulting from increased flight delays.  Ten-year benefits are estimated at $1.1 billion.  US-VISIT assessed seven categories of economic impacts other than direct expenditures.  Of these, five are benefits, which include costs that could be avoided for each alternative:  Cost avoidance resulting from improved detection of aliens overstaying visas; cost avoidance resulting from improved U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efficiency attempting apprehension of overstays; cost avoidance resulting from improved efficiency processing exit/entry data; improved compliance with NSEERS requirements due to the improvement in ease of compliance; and improved national security environment.  These benefits are measured quantitatively or qualitatively.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is proposing to amend the Department of Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR), 48 CFR chapter 30 to provide notice to implement Public Law 109-295, title VI, section 692, Limitations on Tiering of Subcontractors. 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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security and the Office of Personnel Management are evaluating the status of final regulations that establish a new human resources management system within DHS, as authorized by the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The affected subsystems include those governing basic pay, classification, performance management, labor relations, adverse actions, and employee appeals. These changes were designed to ensure the Department's human resources management system aligns with its critical mission requirements without compromising the statutorily protected civil service rights of its employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation; Restrictions on Foreign Acquisition </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5, section 604 (the Act), contains restrictions on the acquisition of certain foreign textile products on DHS contract actions entered into on or after August 16, 2009, with funds made available to DHS appropriated on or before February 17, 2009, the date of the Act.  The Act requires that these funds may not be used for the procurement of certain textile products that are not grown, reprocessed, reused or produced in the United States.  In order to implement the statutory requirement, DHS is amending the Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation to add implementing policy.   The rule revises 48 CFR part 3025, Foreign Acquisitions, and part 3052, Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses, to limit acquisition of covered items under certain DHS acquisitions above the simplified acquisition threshold, unless DHS determines that such items qualify under one of the exceptions provided in the Act.]]></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.  After the Board of Immigration Appeals published a decision on this issue in 1999, Matter of R-A-, Int. Dec. 3403 (BIA 1999), it became clear that the governing regulatory standards required clarification.  The Department of Justice began this regulatory initiative by publishing a proposed rule addressing these issues in 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule provides guidance on a number of key interpretive issues of the refugee definition used by adjudicators deciding asylum and withholding of removal (withholding) claims.  The interpretive issues include whether persecution is inflicted on account of a protected ground, the requirements for establishing the failure of State protection, and the parameters for defining membership in a particular social group.  This rule will aid in the adjudication of claims made by applicants whose claims fall outside of the rubric of the protected grounds of race, religion, nationality, or political opinion.  One example of such claims which often fall within the particular social group ground concerns people who have suffered or fear domestic violence.  This rule is expected to consolidate issues raised in a proposed rule in 2000, and to address issues that have developed since the publication of the proposed rule.  This should provide greater stability and clarity in this important area of the law.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The purpose of this rule is to provide guidance on certain issues that have arisen in the context of asylum and withholding adjudications. The 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (1951 Convention) contains the internationally accepted definition of a refugee. United States immigration law incorporates an almost identical definition of a refugee as a person outside his or her country of origin who is unable or unwilling to return to, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of, that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Section 101(a)(42) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[A sizable body of interpretive case law has developed around the meaning of the refugee definition. Historically, much of this case law has addressed more traditional asylum and withholding claims based on the protected grounds of race, religion, nationality, or political opinion.  In recent years, however, the United States increasingly has encountered asylum and withholding applications with more varied bases, related, for example, to an applicants gender or sexual orientation. Many of these new types of claims are based on the ground of "membership in a particular social group," which is the least well-defined of the five protected grounds within the refugee definition.

On December 7, 2000, a proposed rule was published in the Federal Register providing guidance on the definitions of persecution and membership in a particular social group.  Prior to publishing a final rule, the Department will be considering how the nexus between persecution and a protected ground might be further conceptualized; how membership in a particular social group might be defined and evaluated; and what constitutes a States inability or unwillingness to protect the applicant where the persecution arises from a non-State actor.  This rule will provide guidance to the following adjudicators: USCIS asylum officers, Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) immigration judges, and members of the EOIR Board of Immigration Appeals.   The alternative to publishing this rule would be to allow the standards governing this area of law to continue to develop piecemeal through administrative and judicial precedent.  This approach has resulted in inconsistent and confusing standards, and the Department has therefore determined that promulgation of the final rule is necessary.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[By providing a clear framework for key asylum and withholding issues, we anticipate that adjudicators will have clear guidance, increasing administrative efficiency, and consistency in adjudicating these cases.  The rule will also promote a more consistent and predictable body of administrative and judicial precedent governing these types of cases.  We anticipate that this will enable applicants to better assess their potential eligibility for asylum, and to present their claims more efficiently when they believe that they may qualify, thus reducing the resources spent on adjudicating claims that do not qualify.  In addition, a more consistent and predictable body of law on these issues will likely result in fewer appeals, both administrative and judicial, and reduce the associated litigation costs.  The Department has no way of accurately predicting how this rule will impact the number of asylum applications filed in the United States.  Based on anecdotal evidence and on the reported experience of other nations that have adopted standards under which the results are similar to those we anticipate from this rule, we do not believe this rule will cause a large change in the number of asylum applications filed.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The failure to promulgate a final rule in this area presents significant risks of further inconsistency and confusion in the law.  The Governments interests in fair, efficient and consistent adjudications would be compromised.]]></RISKS>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Classification of Adopted Aliens as Children of United States Citizens Based on Adoptions That Are Not Governed by the Hague Convention
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations relating to intercountry adoptions in cases that are not governed by the Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, signed at The Hague on May 29, 1993 (Convention).  First, the rule proposes amendments to the rules governing adoption cases under section 101(b)(1)(E) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act).  Second, it also proposes amendments to the rules governing the immigration of alien orphans under section 101(b)(1)(F) of the Act.  These amendments are needed to clarify the rules for both case types, and to incorporate into the regulations recent statutory amendments.  For the orphan cases, these amendments will also improve the ability to assure the protection of the best interests of alien orphans whose adoption is sought by U.S. citizens.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration Requirement for Petitioners Seeking to File H-1B Petitions on Behalf of Aliens 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) proposes to establish a mandatory Internet-based electronic registration process for U.S. employers seeking to file H-1B petitions for alien workers subject to either the 65,000 or 20,000 caps. This registration process would allow U.S. employers to electronically register for consideration of available H-1B cap numbers.  The mandatory proposed registration process will alleviate administrative burdens on USCIS service centers and eliminate the need for U.S. employers to needlessly prepare and file H-1B petitions without any certainty that an H-1B cap number will ultimately be allocated to the beneficiary named on that petition.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 214(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides limits on the number of alien temporary workers who may be granted H-1B nonimmigrant status each fiscal year (commonly known as the "cap").  USCIS has responsibility for monitoring the requests for H-1B workers and administers the distribution of available H-1B cap numbers in light of these limits.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[To ensure a fair and orderly distribution of H-1B cap numbers, USCIS evaluated its current random selection process, and has found that when it receives a significant number of H-1B petitions within the first few days of the H-1B filing period, it is extremely difficult to handle the volume of petitions received in advance of the H-1B random selection process.  Further, the current petition process of preparing and mailing H-1B petitions, with the required filing fee, can be burdensome and costly for employers, if the petition is returned because the cap was reached and the petition was not selected in the random selection process.

Accordingly, this rule proposes to implement a new process to allow U.S. employers to electronically register for consideration of available H-1B cap numbers without having to first prepare and submit the petition.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[USCIS estimates that this rule will result in a net benefit to society.  Currently, employers submit a petition, at great expense, without any certainty that an H-1B cap number will ultimately be allocated to the beneficiary named on the petition.  The new mandatory, Internet-based registration system allows employers to complete a much shorter and less expensive registration process for consideration of available H-1B cap numbers.  The new system will also relieve a significant administrative burden and expense from USCIS.  

This rule will reduce costs for some employers and increase them for others.  For employers that are not allocated a cap number and therefore do not ultimately file a petition, there will be a significant cost savings.  Employers that are allocated a cap number and ultimately file a petition will experience the new and additional cost of filing the registration.  Additionally, USCIS will incur additional costs to implement and maintain the registration system. 

USCIS has weighed the benefits and costs associated with this rule and determined that the benefits to society outweigh the costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There is a risk that a petitioner will submit multiple petitions for the same H-1B beneficiary so that the U.S. employer will have a better chance of his or her petition being selected.  Accordingly, should USCIS receive multiple petitions for the same H-1B beneficiary by the same petitioner, the system will only accept the first petition and reject the duplicate petitions.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exception to the Persecution Bar for Asylum, Refugee, and Temporary Protected Status, and Withholding of Removal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This joint rule proposes amendments to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations to describe the circumstances under which an applicant will continue to be eligible for asylum, refugee, or temporary protected status, special rule cancellation of removal under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act, and withholding of removal, even if DHS or DOJ has determined that the applicants actions contributed, in some way, to the persecution of others.  The purpose of this rule is to resolve ambiguity in the statutory language precluding eligibility for asylum, refugee, and temporary protected status of an applicant who ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in the persecution of others. The proposed amendment would provide a limited exception for actions taken by the applicant under duress and clarify the required levels of the applicants knowledge of the persecution.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[In Negusie v. Holder, 129 S. Ct. 1159 (2009), the Supreme Court addressed whether the persecutor bar should apply where an alien's actions were taken under duress.  DHS believe that this is an appropriate subject for rulemaking and propose to amend the applicable regulations to set out their interpretation of the statute.  In developing this regulatory initiative, DHS has carefully considered the purpose and history behind enactment of the persecutor bar, including its international law origins and the criminal law concepts upon which they are based.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[DHS did consider the alternative of not publishing a rulemaking on these issues.  To leave this important area of the law without an administrative interpretation, however, would confuse adjudicators and the public.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The programs affected by this rule exist so that the United States may respond effectively to global humanitarian situations and assist people who are in need. USCIS provides a number of humanitarian programs and protection to assist individuals in need of shelter or aid from disasters, oppression, emergency medical issues, and other urgent circumstances. This rule will advance the humanitarian goals of the asylum/refugee program, and other specialized programs. The main benefits of such tend to be intangible and difficult to quantify in economic and monetary terms. These forms of relief have not been available to certain persecutors. This rule will allow an exception to this bar from protection for applicants who can meet the appropriate evidentiary standard.  Consequently, this rule may result in a small increase in the number of applicants for humanitarian programs.  To the extent a small increase in applicants occurs, there could be additional fee costs incurred by these applicants.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[If DHS were not to publish a regulation, the public would face a lengthy period of confusion on these issues.  There could also be inconsistent interpretations of the statutory language, leading to significant litigation and delay for the affected public.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ineffective Assistance of Counsel Claims in Asylum Cases</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this proposed rule is to revise the uniform procedural and substantive requirements for finding an extraordinary circumstance for purposes of the one-year asylum filing deadline based on claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.  This rule is intended to clarify the documentary requirements for claiming ineffective assistance of counsel.  This is necessary because the aliens failure to submit evidence on key issues, or copies of relevant documents may not fulfill his or her burden of proof to establish an extraordinary circumstance and it can result in a referral or denial of the asylum application based on the failure to meet the one-year filing deadline.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (the Department, or DHS) is amending its regulations governing determinations of whether an alien is inadmissible to the United States, ineligible to adjust status to lawful permanent resident, or has become deportable on public charge grounds. This rule is intended to alleviate confusion over the meaning of the term "public charge" in immigration law, reduce negative consequences generated by this confusion, and provide aliens with better guidance as to the types of public benefits that will and will not be considered in public charge determinations.  This interim rule also addresses the public comments on the legacy Immigration and Naturalization Service proposed public charge rule published on May 26, 1999, at 64 FR 28676.]]></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>Adjustment of Status for Certain Syrian Nationals Granted Asylum in the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 27, 2000, President Clinton 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; Eligibility for T Nonimmigrant Status</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 law enforcement with their investigation or prosecution of 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. 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.  The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, Public Law 110-457, made amendments to the T nonimmigrant status provisions of the Immigration and Naturalization Act.  The Department will issue another interim final rule to make the changes required by recent legislation and to provide the opportunity for notice and comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[T nonimmigrant status is available to eligible victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons who have complied with any reasonable request for assistance in the investigation or prosecution of acts of trafficking in persons, and who can demonstrate that they would suffer extreme hardship involving unusual and severe harm if removed from the United States.  This rule addresses the essential elements that must be demonstrated for classification as a T nonimmigrant alien; the procedures to be followed by applicants to apply for T nonimmigrant status; and evidentiary guidance to assist in the application process.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 107(e) of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), Public Law 106-386, as amended, established the T classification to create a safe haven for certain eligible victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons, who assist law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting the perpetrators of these crimes.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[To develop a comprehensive Federal approach to identifying victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons, to provide them with benefits and services, and to enhance the Department of Justices ability to prosecute traffickers and prevent trafficking in persons in the first place, a series of meetings with stakeholders were conducted with representatives from key Federal agencies; national, State, and local law enforcement associations; non-profit, community-based victim rights organizations; and other groups.  Suggestions from these stakeholders were used in the drafting of this regulation.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[There is no cost to applicants associated with this regulation.  Applicants for T nonimmigrant status do not pay application or biometric fees.

The anticipated benefits of these expenditures include: Assistance to trafficked victims and their families, prosecution of traffickers in persons, and the elimination of abuses caused by trafficking activities. 

Benefits which may be attributed to the implementation of this rule are expected to be:

1. An increase in the number of cases brought forward for investigation and/or prosecution;
2. Heightened awareness by the law enforcement community of trafficking in persons;
3. Enhanced ability to develop and work cases in trafficking in persons cross-organizationally and multi-jurisdictionally, which may begin to influence changes in trafficking patterns.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There is a 5,000-person limit to the number of individuals who can be granted T-1 status per fiscal year.  Eligible applicants who are not granted T-1 status due solely to the numerical limit will be placed on a waiting list to be maintained by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

To protect T-1 applicants and their families, USCIS will use various means to prevent the removal of T-1 applicants on the waiting list, and their family members who are eligible for derivative T status, including its existing authority to grant deferred action, parole, and stays of removal.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets forth measures by which certain victims of severe forms of trafficking who have been granted T nonimmigrant status and victims of certain criminal activity who have been granted U nonimmigrant status may apply for adjustment to permanent resident status in accordance with Public Law 106-386, Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000; and Public Law 109-162, Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This regulation is necessary to permit aliens in lawful T or U nonimmigrant status to apply for adjustment of status to that of lawful permanent residents.  T nonimmigrant status is available to aliens who are victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons and who are assisting law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the acts of trafficking.  U nonimmigrant status is available to aliens who are victims of certain crimes and are being helpful to the investigation or prosecution of those crimes.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule implements the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (VTVPA), Public Law 106-386, 114 Stat. 1464 (Oct. 28, 2000), as amended, to permit aliens in lawful T or U nonimmigrant status to apply for adjustment of status to that of lawful permanent residents.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[USCIS did not consider alternatives to managing T and U applications for adjustment of status.  Ease of administration dictates that adjustment of status applications from T and U nonimmigrants would be best handled on a first in, first out basis, because that is the way applications for T and U status are currently handled.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[USCIS uses fees to fund the cost of processing applications and associated support benefits.  The fees to be collected resulting from this rule will be approximately $3 million in the first year, $1.9 million in the second year, and an average about $32 million in the third and subsequent years.  To estimate the new fee collections to be generated by this rule, USCIS estimated the fees to be collected for new applications for adjustment of status from T and U nonimmigrants and their eligible family members. After that, USCIS estimated fees from associated applications that are required such as biometrics, and others that are likely to occur in direct connection with applications for adjustment, such as employment authorization or travel authorization.

The anticipated benefits of these expenditures include:  Continued assistance to trafficked victims and their families, increased investigation and prosecution of traffickers in persons, and the elimination of abuses caused by trafficking activities.

Benefits that may be attributed to the implementation of this rule are expected to be:

1. An increase in the number of cases brought forward for investigation and/or prosecution;
2. Heightened awareness of trafficking-in-persons issues by the law enforcement community; and
3. Enhanced ability to develop and work cases in trafficking in persons cross-organizationally and multi-jurisdictionally, which may begin to influence changes in trafficking patterns.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Congress created the U nonimmigrant status ("U visa") to provide immigration protection to crime victims who assist in the investigation and prosecution of those crimes.  Although there are no specific data on alien crime victims, statistics maintained by the Department of Justice have shown that aliens, especially those aliens without legal status, are often reluctant to help in the investigation or prosecution of crimes.  U visas are intended to help overcome this reluctance and aid law enforcement accordingly.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Classification for Victims of Criminal Activity; Eligibility for the &quot;U&quot; Nonimmigrant Status</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets forth application requirements for a new nonimmigrant status. The U classification is for non-U.S. Citizen/Lawful Permanent Resident victims of certain crimes who cooperate with an investigation or prosecution of those crimes. There is a limit of 10,000 principals per year.

This rule establishes the procedures to be followed in order to petition for the U nonimmigrant classifications. Specifically, the rule addresses the essential elements that must be demonstrated to receive the nonimmigrant classification, procedures that must be followed to make an application, and evidentiary guidance to assist in the petitioning process. Eligible victims will be allowed to remain in the United States. The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, Public Law 110-457, made amendments to the T nonimmigrant status provisions of the Immigration and Naturalization Act. The Department will issue another interim final rule to make the changes required by recent legislation and to provide the opportunity for notice and comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule provides requirements and procedures for aliens seeking U nonimmigrant status.  U nonimmigrant classification is available to alien victims of certain criminal activity who assist government officials in the investigation or prosecution of that criminal activity.  The purpose of the U nonimmigrant classification is to strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute such crimes as domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking in persons, while offering protection to alien crime victims in keeping with the humanitarian interests of the United States.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Congress created the U nonimmigrant classification in the Battered Immigrant Women Protection Act of 2000 (BIWPA).  Congress intended to strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute cases of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking of aliens, and other crimes, while offering protection to victims of such crimes.  Congress also sought to encourage law enforcement officials to better serve immigrant crime victims.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[USCIS has identified four alternatives, the first being chosen for the rule:

1. USCIS would adjudicate petitions on a first in, first out basis.  Petitions received after the limit has been reached would be reviewed to determine whether or not they are approvable, but for the numerical cap.  Approvable petitions that are reviewed after the numerical cap has been reached would be placed on a waiting list and written notice sent to the petitioner.  Priority on the waiting list would be based upon the date on which the petition is filed. USCIS would provide petitioners on the waiting list with interim relief until the start of the next fiscal year in the form of deferred action, parole, or a stay of removal.
2. USCIS would adjudicate petitions on a first in, first out basis, establishing a waiting list for petitions that are pending or received after the numerical cap has been reached.  Priority on the waiting list would be based upon the date on which the petition was filed.  USCIS would not provide interim relief to petitioners whose petitions are placed on the waiting list.
3. USCIS would adjudicate petitions on a first in, first out basis.  However, new filings would be reviewed to identify particularly compelling cases for adjudication.  New filings would be rejected once the numerical cap is reached. No official waiting list would be established; however, interim relief until the start of the next fiscal year would be provided for some compelling cases.  If a case was not particularly compelling, the filing would be denied or rejected.
4. USCIS would adjudicate petitions on a first in, first out basis.  However, new filings would be rejected once the numerical cap is reached.  No waiting list would be established, nor would interim relief be granted.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[USCIS estimates the total annual cost of this interim rule to applicants to be $6.2 million.  This cost includes the biometric services fee that petitioners must pay to USCIS, the opportunity cost of time needed to submit the required forms, the opportunity cost of time required for a visit to an Application Support Center, and the cost of traveling to an Application Support Center.  

This rule will strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute such crimes as domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking in persons, while offering protection to alien crime victims in keeping with the humanitarian interests of the United States.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[In the case of witness tampering, obstruction of justice, or perjury, the interpretive challenge for USCIS was to determine whom the BIWPA was meant to protect, given that these criminal activities are not targeted against a person.  Accordingly it was determined that a victim of witness tampering, obstruction of justice, or perjury is an alien who has been directly and proximately harmed by the perpetrator of one of these three crimes, where there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the perpetrator principally committed the offense as a means: (1) to avoid or frustrate efforts to investigate, arrest, prosecute, or otherwise bring him or her to justice for other criminal activity; or (2) to further his or her abuse or exploitation of, or undue control over, the alien through manipulation of the legal system.]]></RISKS>

        <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 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>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>

        <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 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>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Public Costs: This rule reduces the employers annual cost by $200 per year ($500-$300), plus any further reduction caused by eliminating the paperwork burden associated with the CNMIs process. In 2006 to 2007, there were 464 long-term business entry permit holders and 20 perpetual foreign investor entry permit holders and retiree investor permit holders, totaling 484, or approximately 500 foreign registered investors. The total savings to employers from this rule is thus expected to be $100,000 per year ($500 x $200). Cost to the Federal Government: The yearly Federal Government cost is estimated at $42,310. 
 
Benefits: The potential abuse of the visa system by those seeking to illegally emigrate from the CNMI to Guam or elsewhere in the United States reduces the integrity of the United States immigration system by increasing the ease by which aliens may unlawfully enter the United States through the CNMI. Federal oversight and regulations of CNMI foreign investors should help reduce abuse by foreign employees in the CNMI, and should help reduce the opportunity for aliens to use the CNMI as an entry point into the United States.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Transitional Worker Classification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is creating a new, temporary, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)-only transitional worker classification (CW classification) in accordance with title VII of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA).  The transitional worker program is intended to provide for an orderly transition from the CNMI permit system to the U.S. Federal immigration system under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).  A CW transitional worker is an alien worker who is ineligible for another classification under the INA and who performs services or labor for an employer in the CNMI.  The CNRA imposes a 5-year transition period before the INA requirements become fully applicable in the CNMI.  The new CW classification will be in effect for the duration of that transition period, unless extended by the Secretary of Labor.  The rule also establishes employment authorization incident to CW status.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The employers/petitioners for each of the estimated 22,000 CNMI transitional workers will be required to pay a $325 fee per year, for an annualized cost to the affected public of $7 million.  However, since these workers will not have to pay CNMI fees, the total present value costs of this rule are a net cost savings ranging from $9.8 million to $13.4 million depending on the validity period of CW status (1 or 2 years), whether out-of-status aliens present in the CNMI are eligible for CW status, and the discount rate applied.  The intended benefits of the rule include improvements in national and homeland security and protection of human rights.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 28, 2009, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice  (DOJ) published a joint interim final rule in the Federal Register implementing conforming amendments to their respective regulations to comply with the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA).  The CNRA extends the immigration laws of the United States to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).  This rule finalizes the interim rule with additional changes to provisions concerning adjustment of status and change of status of aliens in the CNMI, immigrant petitions for multinational executives, acceptable documents for employment eligibility verification (Form I-9), and the Northern Marianas identification card.  It is intended that such changes will ameliorate any adverse impact that implementation of the CNRA may have on CNMI employers and alien workers.]]></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>

        <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>

        <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>Classification of Aliens as Children of United States Citizens Based on Intercountry Adoptions Under the Hague Convention</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule changes the premium processing time from 15 calendar days to 15 business days and adds additional circumstances that will stop the premium processing clock.  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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department of Homeland Security regulations to extend the deadline by which certain health care workers from Canada and Mexico must obtain health care worker certifications. This rule applies only to affected health care workers, who, before September 23, 2003, were previously employed as TN nonimmigrant health care workers (Canadian or Mexican citizens), and held a valid license from a U.S. jurisdiction. This interim rule does not change the licensing requirements for employment purposes. Publication of this rule ensures that the U.S. health care system is not adversely affected by the expiration of the transition period for certain health care workers to present the required certification.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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>New Asylum and Withholding Bars for Recruitment or Use of Child Soldiers</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <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.  No regulatory activities have occurred for this potential rulemaking. The actions and dates that were listed in the timetable prior to November 15, 2010, are incorrect and do not apply to this initiative.  Effective November 15, 2010, this entry is withdrawn from the Agenda.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

In addition, it would require that an alien seeking to immigrate based upon a classification that is subject to numerical limitations, must be the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition prior to proceeding through a revised adjustment of status process. This proposed rule is intended to streamline the overall adjustment of status process, as well as mitigate visa retrogression through improved estimation of immigrant visa availability.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the 1995 Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) for Seafarers, 1978</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 project supports the Coast Guard's broad role and responsibility of maritime safety. It also supports the roles and responsibilities 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.

The Coast Guard published an NPRM on November 17, 2009.  The comment period closed on February 16, 2010.  The Coast Guard is in the process of reviewing comments on the NPRM.  

At a June 2010 diplomatic conference, the IMO adopted amendments to the STCW convention which change the minimum training requirements for seafarers.  In response to feedback and to the adoption of those amendments, the Coast Guard is developing a Supplemental NPRM.]]></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 Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) 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; and 2) address foreign vessels engaged in OCS activities to comply with requirements similar to those imposed on U.S. vessels similarly engaged.  This project would affect the owners and operators of facilities and vessels engaged in offshore activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The last major revision of Coast Guard OCS regulations occurred in 1982.  At that time, the offshore industry was not as technologically advanced as it is today.  Offshore activities were in relatively shallow water near land, where help was readily available during emergency situations.  The equipment regulations required only basic equipment, primarily for lifesaving appliances and hand-held portable fire extinguishers.  Since 1982, the requirements in 33 CFR chapter I, subchapter N, have not kept pace with the changing offshore technology or the safety problems created as OCS activities extend to deeper water (10,000 feet) and move farther offshore (150 miles).  This rulemaking reassesses all of our current OCS regulations in order to help make the OCS a safer workplace.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The authority for the Coast Guard to prescribe, change, revise, or amend these regulations is provided under 14 U.S.C. 85; 43 U.S.C. 1333(d)(1), 1347(c), 1348(c), 1356; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.  Section 145.100 also issued under 14 U.S.C. 664 and 31 U.S.C. 9701.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Coast Guard considered filling the shortfall in existing OCS regulations by extending the current vessel and Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit regulations.  This approach was rejected after concluding that the differences between fixed and floating units made this approach impractical. We also considered requiring compliance with industry standards. Those standards, though, do not cover all of the areas needing regulation.  The new rule would adopt available consensus standards where appropriate.

Nonregulatory alternatives, such as agency policy documents and voluntary acceptance of industry standards were also considered.  They were also rejected because enforceable regulations are necessary in order to carry out the relevant statutes.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is currently estimating the costs and benefits associated with this rulemaking.  Industry would incur additional costs as a result of provisions for training, firefighting, lifesaving, and monitoring of unsafe conditions.  This proposed rule supports the Commandant's strategic goals of marine safety and environmental stewardship and is designed to help make the OCS a safer workplace by preventing accidents or reducing the consequences of accidents on the OCS.  In addition, the proposed rule will include measures that meet the changing offshore technology and the safety problems it creates as OCS activities extend to deeper water and move farther offshore.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The extensive revisions to health and safety requirements for OCS units in this rule would substantially reduce the risk of injury or illness on those units.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Fishing Industry Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend commercial fishing industry vessel requirements to enhance maritime safety.  Commercial fishing remains one of the most dangerous industries in America. The Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act of 1988 ("the Act," codified in 46 U.S.C. chapter 45) gives the Coast Guard regulatory authority to improve the safety of vessels operating in that industry. Although significant reductions in industry deaths were recorded after the Coast Guard issued its initial rules under the Act in 1991, we believe more deaths and serious injury can be avoided through compliance with new regulations in the following areas: vessel stability and watertight integrity, vessel maintenance and safety equipment including crew immersion suits, crew training and drills, and improved documentation of regulatory compliance.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rulemaking would implement sections 409 and 415 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004.  The intent of the proposed rule is to promote safer work practices and reduce casualties on towing vessels by ensuring that towing vessels adhere to prescribed safety standards and safety management systems.  This proposed rule was developed in cooperation with the Towing Vessel Safety Advisory Committee.  It would establish a new subchapter dedicated to towing vessels; covering vessel equipment, systems, operational standards, and inspection requirements.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Proposed new subchapter authority:  46 U.S.C. 3103, 3301, 3306, 3308, 3316, 8104, 8904; 33 CFR 1.05; DHS Delegation 0170.1.

The Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004 (CGMTA 2004), Public Law 108-293, 118 Stat. 1028, (Aug. 9, 2004), established new authorities for towing vessels as follows:

Section 415 added towing vessels, as defined in section 2101 of title 46, United States Code (U.S.C.), as a class of vessels that are subject to safety inspections under chapter 33 of that title (Id. at 1047).

Section 415 also added new section 3306(j) of title 46, authorizing the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish, by regulation, a safety management system appropriate for the characteristics, methods of operation, and nature of service of towing vessels (Id.).

Section 409 added new section 8904(c) of title 46, U.S.C., authorizing the Secretary to establish, by regulation, "maximum hours of service (including recording and recordkeeping of that service) of individuals engaged on a towing vessel that is at least 26 feet in length measured from end to end over the deck (excluding the sheer)." (Id. at 1044-45).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We considered the following alternatives for the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM):  

One regulatory alternative would be the addition of towing vessels to one or more existing subchapters that deal with other inspected vessels, such as cargo and miscellaneous vessels (subchapter I), offshore supply vessels (subchapter L), or small passenger vessels (subchapter T).  We do not believe, however, that this approach would recognize the often unique nature and characteristics of the towing industry in general and towing vessels in particular.  
 
In addition to inclusion in a particular existing subchapter (or subchapters) for equipment-related concerns, the same approach could be adopted for use of a safety management system by requiring compliance with title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, part 96 (Rules for the Safe Operation of Vessels and Safety Management Systems).  Adoption of these requirements, without an alternative safety management system, would also not be "appropriate for the characteristics, methods of operation, and nature of service of towing vessels."

The Coast Guard has had extensive public involvement (four public meetings, over 100 separate comments submitted to the docket, as well as extensive ongoing dialogue with members of the Towing Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC)) regarding development of these regulations.  Adoption of one of the alternatives discussed above would likely receive little public or industry support, especially considering the TSAC efforts toward development of standards to be incorporated into a separate subchapter dealing specifically with the inspection of towing vessels.

An approach that would seem to be more in keeping with the intent of Congress would be the adoption of certain existing standards from those applied to other inspected vessels.  In some cases, these existing standards would be appropriately modified and tailored to the nature and operation of certain categories of towing vessels.  The adopted standards would come from inspected vessels that have demonstrated good marine practice within the maritime community.  These regulations would be incorporated into a subchapter specifically addressing the inspection for certification of towing vessels.  The law requiring the inspection for certification of towing vessels is a statutory mandate, compelling the Coast Guard to develop regulations appropriate for the nature of towing vessels and their specific industry.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[We estimate that owners and operators of towing vessels would incur additional costs from this rulemaking.  The cost of this rulemaking would involve provisions for safety management systems, standards for construction, operation, vessel systems, safety equipment, and recordkeeping. Our cost assessment includes existing and new vessels.  We are currently developing cost estimates for the proposed rule.    

The Coast Guard developed the requirements in the proposed rule by researching both the human factors and equipment failures that caused towing vessel accidents.  We believe that the proposed rule would address a wide range of causes of towing vessel accidents and supports the main goal of improving safety in the towing industry.  The primary benefit of the proposed rule is an increase in vessel safety and a resulting decrease in the risk of towing vessel accidents and their consequences.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This regulatory action would reduce the risk of towing vessel accidents and their consequences.  Towing vessel accidents result in fatalities, injuries, property damage, pollution, and delays.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC); Card Reader Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is establishing electronic card reader requirements for maritime facilities and vessels to be used in combination with TSA's Transportation Worker Identification Credential.  Congress enacted several statutory requirements within the Security and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006 to guide regulations pertaining to TWIC card readers, including the need to evaluate TSA's final pilot program report as part of the TWIC reader rulemaking. During the rulemaking process, we will take into account the final pilot data and the various conditions in which TWIC card readers may be employed. For example, we will consider the types of vessels and facilities that will use TWIC readers, locations of secure and restricted areas, operational constraints, and need for accessibility.  Recordkeeping requirements, amendments to security plans, and the requirement for data exchanges (i.e., TWIC hotlist) between TSA and vessel or facility owners/operators will also be addressed in this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Assessment Framework and Organizational Restatement Regarding Preemption for Certain Regulations Issued by the Coast Guard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule will operate in two ways.  First, it will describe the Coast Guard's interpretation 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 broad role and responsibility of further enhancing maritime stewardship by reinforcing a uniform maritime regulatory regime that is predictable and useful for maritime interests.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In light of recent Federal court cases and the President's May 20, 2009, memorandum regarding preemption, the Coast Guard believes that a clear agency statement of the preemptive impact of our regulations, particularly those regulations issued prior to the promulgation of E.O. 13132, can be of great benefit to State and local governments, the public, and regulated entities.  Therefore, the Coast Guard intends to issue a general statement of preemption policy, coupled with specific statements of policy regarding regulations issued under the authority of statutes with preemptive effect, including, among others, the Ports and Waterways Safety Act (PWSA) of 1972, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1221 et. seq.).  The Coast Guard proposes to publish these policies in a new section 1.06 of title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations, to allow for easy access by interested persons and parties.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The statutory authorities for the Coast Guard to prescribe, change, revise, or amend these regulations are provided under 14 U.S.C. 2 and 91; 33 U.S.C. 1223, 1231, and 1903(b); 46 U.S.C. 3203, 3306, 3703, 3717, 4302, and 6101; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Coast Guard considered alternative mechanisms for restating the preemptive effect of regulations, including the use of a notice of policy.  These methods would not provide the same level of transparency as codification in the Code of Federal Regulations, however, because they would not be as readily located by State and local government or other members of the public.  They also would not satisfy the Presidents May 20, 2009, memorandum regarding preemption, which directs agencies to include preemption provisions in the codified regulation.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <RULE_TITLE>Installation and Use of Engine Cut-Off Switches</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to prevent recreational boating casualties caused by persons being struck by a boat or propeller when the boat operator is separated from the operating controls (e.g., falls overboard or is ejected).  To do this, the Coast Guard proposes to require engine cut-off switches as a standard safety feature of propulsion machinery and/or starting controls installed on recreational boats less than 26 feet in length, and require operators of these recreational boats to use the switch.  This proposed rulemaking would support the Coast Guard's broad role and responsibility of maritime safety and the National Recreational Boating Safety program's performance goal of reducing recreational boating casualties.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to revise the existing safety regulations for facility and vessel vapor control systems (VCSs).  The proposed changes would make VCS requirements more compatible with new Federal and State environmental requirements, regulate industry advancements in VCS technology, and codify the standards in the design and operation of a VCS at a tank barge cleaning facility.  These changes would increase the safety of operations by regulating the design, installation, and use of VCSs, but would not require the installation or use of the systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Updates to Maritime Security</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes certain additions, changes, and amendments to 33 CFR, subchapter H.  Subchapter H is comprised of parts 101 thru 106.  Subchapter H implements the major provisions of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002.  This rulemaking is the first major revision to subchapter H.  The proposed changes would further enhance the security of our Nation's ports, vessels, facilities, and Outer Continental Shelf facilities and incorporate requirements from legislation implemented since the original publication of these regulations in 2003.  This rulemaking has international interest because of the close relationship between subchapter H and the International Ship and Port Security Code (ISPS).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rulemaking is needed to incorporate Coast Guard Policy Advisory Council (PAC) decisions on the interpretation of regulations, guidance provided in response to questions to the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA) hotline, and to implement various requirements found in the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 and the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006.  In addition, this rulemaking is needed to incorporate recommendations from the Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee.  It also incorporates various U.S. Maritime Administration and International Maritime Organization voluntary consensus standards related to maritime security training.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The fundamental legal basis for subchapter H remains the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 as amended by the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 and the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is currently evaluating a number of alternatives based on applicability and risk (threat, vulnerability, and consequence).  However, an overall update to make necessary changes to subchapter H and address improvements resulting from our experience since 2003 is prudent.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is currently estimating the costs associated with this rulemaking.  Industry would incur additional costs as a result of provisions for standardized training requirements, updates to security plans and other documentation, and full-scale exercises requirements for high-risk facilities. The potential benefit from these provisions is reduction in risk of security incidents.   This rulemaking expands and improves competencies associated with Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA).  MDA is the effective understanding of anything associated with the global maritime domain that could impact the United States security, safety, economy, or environment.  The proposed rule would improve MDA through training, exercise, and security plan enhancements.  As a result, the primary benefit of the proposed rule would result from reducing the risk of a Transportation Security Incident (TSI) and therefore averting or mitigating the economic and environmental consequences of a TSI.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[With this rulemaking, the Coast Guard seeks to maintain the risk reduction goals established with the promulgation of the original MTSA regulations and further reduce risks by incorporating provisions related to more recent legislation and warranted by our experience with subchapter H since 2003.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes adding regulations in title 46 Code of Federal Regulations to require that water supplied for washing and drinking by passengers and crew must meet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stands for potable water in title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, parts 1240 and 1250. This action is being taken as a result of amendments to title 46, United States Code, section 3305(a) in the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Authorization Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-293, August 9, 2004). As most inspected vessels engage in interstate trade and are already subject to FDA regulations or already supply potable water for washing and drinking by the passengers and crew, we expect this proposed rule to have little impact on inspected vessels.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The unintentional introduction of nonindigenous species into U.S. waters via the discharge of vessels' ballast water has had significant impacts to the Nation's aquatic resources, biological diversity, and coastal infrastructures.  This rulemaking would amend the ballast water management requirements (33 CFR part 151, subparts C and D) and establish standards that specify the level of biological treatment that must be achieved by a ballast water treatment system before ballast water can be discharged into U.S. waters.  This would increase the Coast Guard's ability to protect U.S. waters against the introduction of nonindigenous species via ballast water discharges.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Congress has directed the Coast Guard to develop ballast water regulations to prevent the introduction of nonindigenous species into U.S. waters under the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990 and reauthorized and amended it with the National Invasive Species Act of 1996.  This rulemaking does not have a statutory deadline.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Coast Guard would use the standard rulemaking process to develop regulations for ballast water discharge standards. Nonregulatory alternatives such as navigation and vessel inspection circulars and the Marine Safety Manual have been considered and may be used for the development of policy and directives to provide the maritime industry and our field offices guidelines for implementation of the regulations.  Nonregulatory alternatives cannot be substituted for the standards we would develop with this rule.  Congress has directed the Coast Guard to review and revise its BWM regulations not less than every 3 years based on the best scientific information available to the Coast Guard at the time of that review.
 
On August 28, 2009, the Coast Guard published the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) entitled Standards for Living Organisms in Ships' Ballast Water Discharged in U.S. Waters in the Federal Register (74 FR 44632).  The proposed rule included a phase-in schedule (phase-one and phase-two) for the implementation of ballast water discharge standards based on vessel's ballast water capacity and build date (one that is one thousand times more stringent). The proposed phase-one standard is the same standard adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for concentration of living organisms in ballast water discharges. For phase-two, we propose incorporating a practicability review to determine whether technology to achieve a more stringent standard than the IMO standard can practicably be implemented.

Based on the comments received, we plan to move forward swiftly with a final rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rulemaking would affect certain vessels operating in U.S. waters seeking to discharge ballast water into waters of the United States.  Owners and operators of these vessels would be required to install and operate Coast Guard approved ballast water management systems before discharging ballast water into U.S. waters.  Cost estimates for individual vessels vary due to the vessel class, type and size, and the particular technology of the ballast water management system installed.  We expect the highest annual costs of this rulemaking during the periods of installation as the bulk of the existing fleet of vessels must meet the standards according to proposed phase-in schedules.  The primary cost driver of this rulemaking is the installation costs for existing vessels.  Operating and maintenance costs are substantially less than the installation costs.  

We evaluated the benefits of this rulemaking by researching the impact of aquatic nonindigenous species (NIS) invasions in the U.S. waters, since ballast water discharge is one of the main vectors of NIS introductions in the marine environment.  The primary benefit of this rulemaking would be the economic and environmental damages avoided from the reduction in the number of new invasions as a result of the reduction in concentration of organisms in discharged ballast water.  We expect that the benefits of this rulemaking would increase as the technology is developed to achieve more stringent ballast water discharge standards.   

The Coast Guard issued a preliminary regulatory analysis of the costs, benefits, and other impacts of the 2009 NPRM.  In this preliminary analysis, we estimated the total phase-one costs to be about $1.18 billion over a 10-year period of analysis (this and other values below at a 7 percent discount rate).  As previously described, the implementation costs vary by year.  We estimated the annualized cost over the same period to be approximately $168 million per year.  We did not provide cost estimates for the phase-two costs in this preliminary analysis since data and information was not available at that time for technology that would meet the anticipated phase-two standard (1,000 x the IMO standard).  In the same preliminary analysis, we estimated annualized benefits (damages avoided) for phase one are potentially as high as $553 million, with a mid-range estimate of $165 million to $282 million per year.  We estimated total phase-one benefits to be as high as $3.88 billion, with a mid-range estimate of $1.16 billion to $1.98 billion over a 10-year period of analysis.    

The Coast Guard has received public comments on the impacts of the NPRM and will be incorporating these comments into a revised Regulatory Analysis for the next rulemaking publication.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Ballast water discharged from ships is a significant pathway for the introduction and spread of non-indigenous aquatic nuisance species. These organisms, which may be plants, animals, bacteria or pathogens, have the potential to displace native species, degrade native habitats, spread disease and disrupt human economic and social activities that depend on water resources. It is estimated that for areas such as the Great Lakes, San Francisco Bay, and Chesapeake Bay, one nonindigenous species becomes established per year. At this time, it is difficult to estimate the reduction of risk that would be accomplished by promulgating this rulemaking; however, it is expected a major reduction will occur. We are currently requesting information on costs and benefits of more stringent ballast water discharge standards.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Traffic Separation Schemes 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 </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking may propose to amend 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 currently appear on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration navigation charts, in International Maritime Organization's "Ships' Routeing," 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 broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety and maritime stewardship.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Passenger Weight and Inspected Vessel Stability Requirements</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 broad role and responsibility of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nontank Vessel Response Plans and Other Vessel Response Plan Requirements</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 NPRM proposed to 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, the NPRM proposed to update International Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) requirements that apply to certain nontank vessels and tank vessels.  Finally, the NPRM proposed to 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 broad roles and responsibilities of maritime stewardship.]]></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, this 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 proposed 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 Coast Guard proposed 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations related to numbering of undocumented vessels and reporting of casualties.  These changes would align and modernize terminology used in the Standard Numbering System (SNS), the Vessel Identification System (VIS), and casualty reporting.  The proposal would also require validation of vessel hull identification numbers; require SNS vessel owners to provide personally identifiable information; and provide administrative flexibility for States.  Together, the proposed changes would improve recreational boating safety efforts, enhance law enforcement capabilities, advance maritime security, and clarify requirements for all stakeholders.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This emergency temporary final rule suspends certain oil spill response time requirements for certain facilities and vessels.  This rule provides oil spill removal organizations (OSROs), and facilities and vessels with their own response resources, with the ability to relocate response resources from current locations to the Gulf of Mexico to aid in the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.  This action facilitates the participation of OSROs, facilities and vessels located outside of the Gulf region.  This temporary final rule is effective through December 31, 2010.]]></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 maritime 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 broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety and maritime stewardship. 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 that may use the anchorage, and may place time and other restrictions on use of the anchorage. 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 broad role and responsibility of maritime safety. Approximately five actions are expected annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Discharge-Removal Equipment for Vessels Carrying Oil</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 broad role and responsibility of maritime stewardship. 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). This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's broad role and responsibility of maritime stewardship.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These routine and frequent regulations provide for the safety of participants and spectators during regattas and marine parades. The regulations specify such controls as separate participant and spectator areas, separation schemes for watercraft in the area of the event, and temporary restrictions on waterways to accommodate the event. These rules are short-term in nature (usually a single event of one to three days, for only part of each day), and usually encompass only a portion of a navigable waterway. These rules are promulgated by District Commanders and Captains of the Port in response to requests from event sponsors. These rulemakings support the Coast Guard's maritime safety and maritime stewardship missions with regard to the mobility of commercial and recreational vessel traffic. Approximately 50 actions are expected annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

Drawbridge regulations are promulgated by District Commanders usually at the request of the bridge owner or operator, or of local officials or local Coast Guard bridge administration officials.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These routine and frequent regulations establish operating requirements for vessels within specified geographic areas to ensure safety on the navigable waters where some special or unusual circumstance exists. Regulated navigation areas are limited areas in which the Coast Guard specifies operational or vessel restrictions, such as vessel entry, movement, or departure, and vessel size, speed, horsepower, or draft limitations. Regulated navigation areas are promulgated by District Commanders, usually at the request of Coast Guard marine safety officials or local maritime safety officials. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety, and maritime stewardship. A total of 5-10 actions are expected annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Transportation-Related Facility Response Plans for Hazardous Substances </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 broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety and maritime stewardship by reducing the consequence of pollution incidents. This action is considered significant because of substantial public and industry interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Diving Operations </RULE_TITLE>
        <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 Maritime Safety, Security and Stewardship program's role and responsibility of reducing deaths and injuries on U.S. commercial vessels and the Coast Guard's broad role and responsibility of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Improvements to Maritime Safety in Puget Sound-Area Waters</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 performed a risk 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 Maritime Safety, Security and Stewardship program's roles and responsibilities in reducing the amount of oil discharged into the marine environment and the Coast Guard's broad role and responsibility of maritime stewardship and maritime safety. This is a significant action due to substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cargo Securing on Vessels Operating in U.S. Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would create a new requirement for cargo-securing manuals on U.S. vessels of 500 gross tons or more on international voyages.  It would also add cargo-securing manual requirements for U.S. and foreign vessels of 500 gross tons or more operating in U.S. waters.  The new rule is expected to reduce the loss of cargo, including hazardous material, in U.S. waters.  Reducing cargo lost in U.S. waters supports the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime stewardship and safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules of Practice, Procedure, and Evidence for Administrative Proceedings of the Coast Guard</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 broad role and responsibility of the Coast Guard to promote maritime safety. It would also align our rules with the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Zone Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard uses these routine and frequent regulations to establish control of access to maritime 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 broad roles and responsibilities of maritime security, safety, and stewardship. The total number of actions expected is 100 annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dry Cargo Residue Discharges in the Great Lakes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The historical practice of bulk dry cargo vessels on the Great Lakes is to discharge cargo residues ("dry cargo residue" or DCR) 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. Public Law 108-293, sec. 623(b), gives the Coast Guard regulatory authority over DCR discharges in the Great Lakes. An Interim Rule (73 FR 56492, Sep. 29, 2008) allows the discharge of bulk 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. A supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, prior to issuance of a final rule, is under study and could propose vessel or facility to use control measures  to reduce the amount of residue discharges in the Great Lakes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposed to 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 could expand the applicability of the NOAD regulations by changing the minimum size of vessels covered below the current 300 gross tons, require a notice of departure, and mandate electronic submission of NOAD notices to the National Vessel Movement Center.  The AIS portion of this rulemaking proposed to expand current AIS carriage requirements for the population identified in the Marine Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Carbon Dioxide Fire Suppression Systems on Commercial Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to amend the current regulations for carbon dioxide fire suppression systems on commercial vessels. This proposed rule concerns the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) flooding systems to suppress fires on commercial vessels.  Once, carbon dioxide systems were the only fire suppression systems that were suitable for certain manned spaces, but the potential lethality of carbon dioxide has always been a concern.  In recent years, alternative systems have been developed that are comparable to carbon dioxide fire suppression, but are much safer in the event of an accidental discharge, or a discharge that takes place prematurely, before workers can evacuate the protected space.  We would amend existing regulations to clarify that approved alternatives to carbon dioxide systems may be used; add new regulations to set general parameters for those approved alternatives and add a new requirement for lockout valves in manned spaces using carbon dioxide systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rule would harmonize the Coast Guard's design, construction, and performance standards for this lifesaving equipment with international standards.  In addition, the proposed rule would provide for the use of qualified independent laboratories, instead of Coast Guard inspectors, during the approval process and for production inspections of certain types of lifesaving equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety and maritime stewardship.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Traffic Service Lower Mississippi River </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project proposes to establish a new (mandatory) 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 VTSs, which are based on radar and video surveillance and rely on voice communications by VHF-FM radio, when fully operational, VTS Lower Mississippi River proposed to use an Automatic Identification System transponder technology to perform the majority of both surveillance and information exchange. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety and maritime stewardship.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Notification of Arrival in U.S. Ports; Certain Dangerous Cargoes; Electronic Submission</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 broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety, maritime security, and maritime stewardship.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of LNG and LHG Waterfront Facility General Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project will revise Coast Guard requirements in 33 CFR part 127 for waterfront facilities that handle liquid hazardous gas (LHG) or liquid natural gas (LNG). This project will update references to the security requirements for these types of facilities to be consistent with 33 CFR parts 101 (General Provisions for Maritime Security) and 105 (Facility Security). This project will also revise part 127 to require the facility applicant to conduct, in addition to the part 105 facility security assessment, a suitability assessment of the waterway approaches to the facility. This will close a gap in our understanding of the vulnerabilities for these types of cargo.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inland Navigation Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In section 303 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Authorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-293), Congress repealed section 2 of the Inland Navigational Rules Act of 1980 (33 U.S.C. 2001 to 2038) and amended section 3 to give the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating authority to issue inland navigation regulations. Therefore, through this project we would create a new 33 CFR part 83 for the inland navigation rules. The old sections of 33 U.S.C. would be moved to part 83 without change. Through this action, we seek to make the inland navigation rules easier to maintain and more accessible to the public. At this time, we expect no changes in industry behavior or additional costs as a result of this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bulk Solid Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposed to align national regulations with the adoption of amendments to Chapter VI of the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, as amended, for foreign and domestic vessels' international trade. It also proposed to eliminate the need to maintain previously-issued Coast Guard special permits for the carriage of solid hazardous materials in bulk.

This project supports the Coast Guard Marine Safety and Environmental Protection program's goals to reduce crew member deaths and injuries on U.S. commercial vessels, to reduce the amount of environmentally hazardous substances discharged into the nation's waterways, and to promote the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the current regulations, Customs and Border Protection (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 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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements the provisions of section 203 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006. It amends CBP Regulations to require carriers and importers to provide to CBP, via a CBP-approved electronic data interchange system, information necessary to enable CBP to identify high-risk shipments to prevent smuggling and insure cargo safety and security.  Under the rule, importers and carriers must submit specified information to CBP before the cargo is brought into the United States by vessel. This advance information will improve CBP's risk assessment and targeting capabilities, assist CBP in increasing the security of the global trading system, and facilitate the prompt release of legitimate cargo following its arrival in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Vessel carriers are currently required to transmit certain manifest information by way of the CBP Vessel Automated Manifest System (AMS) 24 hours prior to lading of containerized and non-exempt break bulk cargo at a foreign port.  For the most part, this is the ocean carrier's or non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC)'s cargo declaration.  CBP analyzes this information to generate its risk assessment for targeting purposes.

Internal and external government reviews have concluded that more complete advance shipment data would produce even more effective and vigorous cargo risk assessments.  In addition, pursuant to section 203 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-347, 6 U.S.C. 943) (SAFE Port Act), the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Commissioner of CBP, must promulgate regulations to require the electronic transmission of additional data elements for improved high-risk targeting, including appropriate security elements of entry data for cargo destined to the United States by vessel prior to loading of such cargo on vessels at foreign seaports.

Based upon its analysis, as well as the requirements under the SAFE Port Act, CBP is requiring the electronic transmission of additional data for improved high-risk targeting.  Some of these data elements are being required from carriers (Container Status Messages and Vessel Stow Plan) and others are being required from importers, as that term is defined for purposes of the regulations.

This rule intends to improve CBPs risk assessment and targeting capabilities and enables the agency to facilitate the prompt release of legitimate cargo following its arrival in the United States.  The information will assist CBP in increasing the security of the global trading system and, thereby, reducing the threat to the United States and world economy.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 203 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-347, 6 U.S.C. 943) (SAFE Port Act), the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Commissioner of CBP, must promulgate regulations to require the electronic transmission of additional data elements for improved high-risk targeting, including appropriate security elements of entry data for cargo destined to the United States by vessel prior to loading of such cargo on vessels at foreign seaports.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[CBP considered and evaluated the following four alternatives:
                                                                     
Alternative 1 (the chosen alternative):  Importer Security Filings and Additional Carrier Requirements are required.  Bulk cargo is exempt from the Importer Security Filing requirements; 

Alternative 2: Importer Security Filings and Additional Carrier Requirements are required.  Bulk cargo is not exempt from the Importer Security Filing requirements;

Alternative 3: Only Importer Security Filings are required.  Bulk cargo is exempt from the Importer Security Filing requirements; and

Alternative 4: Only the Additional Carrier Requirements are required.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[When the NPRM was published, CBP estimated that approximately 11 million import shipments conveyed by 1,000 different carrier companies operating 37,000 unique voyages or vessel-trips to the United States will be subject to the rule. Annualized costs range from $890 million to $7.0 billion (7 percent discount rate over 10 years).

The annualized cost range results from varying assumptions about the importers' estimated security filing transaction costs or fees charged to the importers by the filing parties, the potential for supply chain delays, and the estimated costs to carriers for transmitting additional data to CBP.

The regulation may increase the time shipments are in transit, particularly for shipments consolidated in containers.  For such shipments, the supply chain is generally more complex and the importer has less control of the flow of goods and associated security filing information.  Foreign cargo consolidators may be consolidating multiple shipments from one or more shippers in a container destined for one or more buyers or consignees.  In order to ensure that the security filing data is provided by the shippers to the importers (or their designated agents) and is then transmitted to and accepted by CBP in advance of the 24-hour deadline, consolidators may advance their cut-off times for receipt of shipments and associated security filing data.

These advanced cut-off times would help prevent a consolidator or carrier from having to unpack or unload a container in the event the security filing for one of the shipments contained in the container is inadequate or not accepted by CBP.  For example, consolidators may require shippers to submit, transmit, or obtain CBP approval of their security filing data before their shipments are stuffed in the container, before the container is sealed, or before the container is delivered to the port for lading.  In such cases, importers would likely have to increase the times they hold their goods as inventory, and thus incur additional inventory carrying costs to sufficiently meet these advanced cut-off times imposed by their foreign consolidators.  The high end of the cost ranges presented assumes an initial supply chain delay of 2 days for the first year of implementation (2008) and a delay of 1 day for years 2 through 10 (2009 to 2017).

Ideally, the quantification and monetization of the benefits of this regulation would involve estimating the current level of risk of a successful terrorist attack, absent this regulation, and the incremental reduction in risk resulting from implementation of the  regulation.  CBP would then multiply the change by an estimate of the value individuals place on such a risk reduction to produce a monetary estimate of direct benefits.  However, existing data limitations and a lack of complete understanding of the true risks posed by terrorists prevent us from establishing the incremental risk reduction attributable to this rule.  As a result, CBP has undertaken a "break-even" analysis to inform decisionmakers of the necessary incremental change in the probability of such an event occurring that would result in direct benefits equal to the costs of the proposed rule.  CBP's analysis finds that the incremental costs of this regulation are relatively small compared to the median value of a shipment of goods, despite the rather large absolute estimate of present value cost.

The benefit of this rule is the improvement of CBP's risk assessment and targeting capabilities, while at the same time, enabling CBP to facilitate the prompt release of legitimate cargo following its arrival in the United States.  The information will assist CBP in increasing the security of the global trading system, and thereby reducing the threat to the United States and the world economy.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to the Visa Waiver Program To Implement the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) for aliens who travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) at air or sea ports of entry.  Under the rule, VWP travelers are required to provide certain biographical information to CBP electronically before departing for the United States.  This allows CBP to determine before their departure whether these travelers are eligible to travel to the United States under the VWP and whether such travel poses a security risk.  The rule is intended to fulfill the requirements of section 711 of the Implementing recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (9/11 Act).  In addition to fulfilling a statutory mandate, the rule serves the twin goals of promoting border security and legitimate travel to the United States.  By modernizing the VWP, the ESTA is intended to increase national security and to provide for greater efficiencies in the screening of international travelers by allowing for vetting of subjects of potential interest well before boarding, thereby reducing traveler delays at the ports of entry.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 711 of the 9/11 Act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to develop and implement a fully automated electronic travel authorization system that will collect biographical and other information in advance of travel to determine the eligibility of the alien to travel to the United States, and to determine whether such travel poses a law enforcement or security risk.  ESTA is intended to fulfill these statutory requirements.  

Under this rule, VWP travelers provide certain information to CBP electronically before departing for the United States.  VWP travelers who receive travel authorization under ESTA are not required to complete the paper Form I-94W when arriving on a carrier that is capable of receiving and validating messages pertaining to the traveler's ESTA status as part of the traveler's boarding status. By automating the I-94W process and establishing a system to provide VWP traveler data in advance of travel, CBP is able to determine the eligibility of citizens and eligible nationals from VWP countries to travel to the United States and to determine whether such travel poses a law enforcement or security risk, before such individuals begin travel to the United States.  ESTA provides for greater efficiencies in the screening of international travelers by allowing CBP to identify subjects of potential interest before they depart for the United States, thereby increasing security and reducing traveler delays upon arrival at U.S. ports of entry.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The ESTA program is based on congressional authority provided under section 711 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 and section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[CBP considered three alternatives to this rule:
1.  The ESTA requirements in the rule, but with a $1.50 fee per each travel authorization (more costly)
2.  The ESTA requirements in the rule, but with only the name of the passenger and the admissibility questions on the I-94W form (less burdensome)
3.  The ESTA requirements in the rule, but only for the countries entering the VWP after 2009 (no new requirements for VWP, reduced burden for newly entering countries)

CBP determined that the rule provides the greatest level of enhanced security and efficiency at an acceptable cost to traveling public and potentially affected air carriers.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The purpose of ESTA is to allow DHS and CBP to establish the eligibility of certain foreign travelers to travel to the United States under the VWP, and whether the alien's proposed travel to the United States poses a law enforcement or security risk.  Upon review of such information, DHS will determine whether the alien is eligible to travel to the United States under the VWP. 

Costs to Air & Sea Carriers
CBP estimated that eight U.S.-based air carriers and eleven sea carriers will be affected by the rule.  An additional 35 foreign-based air carriers and five sea carriers will be affected.  CBP concluded that costs to air and sea carriers to support the requirements of the ESTA program could cost $137 million to $1.1 billion over the next 10 years depending on the level of effort required to integrate their systems with ESTA, how many passengers they need to assist in applying for travel authorizations, and the discount rate applied to annual costs.  

Costs to Travelers
ESTA will present new costs and burdens to travelers in VWP countries who were not previously required to submit any information to the U.S. Government in advance of travel to the United States.  Travelers from Roadmap countries who become VWP countries will also incur costs and burdens, though these are much less than obtaining a nonimmigrant visa (category B1/B2), which is currently required for short-term pleasure or business to travel to the United States.  CBP estimated that the total quantified costs to travelers will range from $1.1 billion to $3.5 billion depending on the number of travelers, the value of time, and the discount rate.  Annualized costs are estimated to range from $133 million to $366 million.  

Benefits
As set forth in section 711 of the 9/11 Act, it was the intent of Congress to modernize and strengthen the security of the Visa Waiver Program under section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187) by simultaneously enhancing program security requirements and extending visa-free travel privileges to citizens and eligible nationals of eligible foreign countries that are partners in the war on terrorism.

By requiring passenger data in advance of travel, CBP may be able to determine, before the alien departs for the United States, the eligibility of citizens and eligible nationals from VWP countries to travel to the United States under the VWP, and whether such travel poses a law enforcement or security risk.  In addition to fulfilling a statutory mandate, the rule serves the twin goals of promoting border security and legitimate travel to the United States.  By modernizing the VWP, ESTA is intended to both increase national security and provide for greater efficiencies in the screening of international travelers by allowing for the screening of subjects of potential interest well before boarding, thereby reducing traveler delays based on potentially lengthy processes at U.S. ports of entry.

CBP concluded that the total benefits to travelers could total $1.1 billion to $3.3 billion over the period of analysis.  Annualized benefits could range from $134 million to $345 million.  

In addition to these benefits to travelers, CBP and the carriers should also experience the benefit of not having to administer the I-94W except in limited situations.  While CBP has not conducted an analysis of the potential savings, it should accrue benefits from not having to produce, ship, and store blank forms.  CBP should also be able to accrue savings related to data entry and archiving.  Carriers should realize some savings as well, though carriers will still have to administer the I-94 for those passengers not traveling under the VWP and the Customs Declaration forms for all passengers aboard the aircraft and vessel.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[CBP has been operating the Global Entry program as a pilot at several airports since June 6, 2008, and the pilot has been very successful.  As a result, there is a desire on the part of the public that the program be established as a permanent program, and expanded, if possible.  By establishing this program, CBP will make great strides toward facilitating the movement of people in a more efficient manner, thereby accomplishing our strategic goal of balancing legitimate travel with security.  Through the use of biometric and recordkeeping technologies, the risk of terrorists entering the United States would be reduced.  Improving security and facilitating travel at the border, both of which are accomplished by Global Entry, are primary concerns within CBP jurisdiction.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Global Entry program is based on section 7208(k) of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), as amended by section 565 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, which requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a program to expedite the screening and processing of pre-approved low risk air travelers into the United States.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Global Entry is a voluntary program that provides a benefit to the public by speeding the CBP processing time for participating travelers.  Travelers who are otherwise admissible to the United States will be able to enter or exit the country regardless of whether they participate in Global Entry.  CBP estimates that over a 5-year period, 250,000 enrollees will be processed (an annual average of 50,000 individuals).  CBP will charge a fee of $100 per applicant and estimates that each application will require 40 minutes (0.67 hours) of the enrollee's time to search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the application form.  Additionally, an enrollee will experience an "opportunity cost of time" to travel to an Enrollment Center upon acceptance of the initial application.  We assume that 1 hour will be required for this time spent at the Enrollment Center and travel to and from the Center, though we note that during the pilot program, many applicants coordinated their trip to an Enrollment Center with their travel at the airport.  We have used one hour of travel time so as not to underestimate potential opportunity costs for enrolling in the program.  We use a value of $28.60 for the opportunity cost for this time, which is taken from the Federal Aviation Administrations "Economic Values for FAA Investment and Regulatory Decisions, A Guide."  (July 3, 2007).  This value is the weighted average for U.S. business and leisure travelers.  For this evaluation, we assume that all enrollees will be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or Lawful Permanent Residents.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 also establishes six ports of entry in the CNMI for purposes of administering and enforcing the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 702(b) of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA), supersedes the Guam visa waiver program by providing for a visa waiver program for Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program).  Section 702(b) requires DHS to promulgate regulations within 180 days of enactment of the CNRA to allow nonimmigrant visitors from eligible countries to apply for admission into Guam and the CNMI, for business or pleasure, without a visa, for a period of authorized stay of no longer than forty-five (45) days.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The most significant change for admission to the CNMI as a result of the rule will be for visitors from those countries who are not included in either the existing U.S. Visa Waiver Program or the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program established by the rule.  These visitors must apply for U.S. visas, which require in-person interviews at U.S. embassies or consulates and higher fees than the CNMI currently assesses for its visitor entry permits.  CBP anticipates that the annual cost to the CNMI will be $6 million. These are losses associated with the reduced visits from foreign travelers who may no longer visit the CNMI upon implementation of this rule.

The anticipated benefits of the rule are enhanced security that will result from the federalization of the immigration functions in the CNMI.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations to clarify that holders of British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) passports are eligible for participation in the Guam-Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Visa Waiver Program.  The current regulations do not clearly state whether holders of BN(O) passports are eligible for participation in the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program.  Thus, DHS believes it is appropriate to amend its regulations to explicitly include BN(O) passport holders as eligible for participation in the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program.  The Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program allows certain nonimmigrant aliens to enter Guam and/or the CNMI as nonimmigrant visitors for business or pleasure without a visa for a period of authorized stay not to exceed forty-five days.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations, non-immigrant aliens who wish to enter the United States under the Visa Waiver Program at air or sea ports of entry must obtain a travel authorization electronically through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) from Customs and Border Protection prior to departing for the United States.  This rule amends the DHS regulations to require ESTA applicants to pay a fee.  The fee, as authorized by section 711 of the Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (9/11 Act), is to ensure recovery of the full costs of providing and administering the ESTA system.  This document also announces the amount of the fee.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Visa Waiver Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Department of Homeland Security's regulations to allow nonimmigrant visitors for business or pleasure who are nationals of the British Virgin Islands to apply for admission to the United States without a visa at the ports-of-entry of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Since visas are no longer issued from the British Virgin Islands by the Department of State, all persons needing a nonimmigrant visa have to either travel or mail their applications to Barbados, the nearest visa-issuing location. The Department's action will facilitate travel to the United States for nationals of the British Virgin Islands while still ensuring that the proper application provisions of the INA are met.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Coastwise Transportation of Passengers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CBP is considering amending current regulations relating to the transportation of passengers by non-coastwise-qualified vessels on voyages that begin and end at a U.S. port and stop at intervening U.S. and foreign port(s).  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 percent 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>

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>Further Consolidation of CBP Drawback Centers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Regulations to reflect a planned closing of the CBP drawback center at the Port of Los Angeles-Long Beach (Los Angeles), California.  CBP believes that the further consolidation in the number of drawback processing centers from five to four is necessary because of decreases in claim filings and drawback claim values at the Los Angeles drawback center.  This closure of this drawback center is intended to conserve resources, increase efficiency, exercise fiscal responsibility, and promote greater uniformity in the processing of drawback claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation of Certain Merchandise and Equipment Between Coastwise Points</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Jones Act provides that only coastwise-qualified vessels may transport merchandise between coastwise points.  During 2009, U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposed modifying previously-issued ruling letters that determined whether the transportation of certain articles and equipment by non-coastwise-qualified vessels between coastwise points was in violation of the Jones Act.  Because any determination on this matter made by CBP would impact a broad range of regulated parties, and the scope of potential economic impact of any change in existing practice is unknown, CBP is issuing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit public comment.]]></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 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (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 preparing a supplemental NPRM (SNPRM), which will include a comment period for public comments.

After considering comments received on the NPRM and meeting with stakeholders, TSA decided to revise the original proposal to tailor security requirements to the general aviation industry.  TSA is considering alternatives to the following proposed provisions in the SNPRM: (1) The type of aircraft subject to TSA regulation; (2) compliance oversight; (3) watch list matching of passengers; (4) prohibited items; (5) scope of the background check requirements and the procedures used to implement the requirement; and (6) other issues.  Additionally, in the SNPRM, TSA plans to propose security measures for foreign aircraft operators. U.S. and foreign operators would implement commensurate  measures under the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule would enhance current security measures and might apply security measures currently in place for operators of certain types of aircraft to operators of other aircraft, including general aviation operators. While the focus of TSA's existing aviation security programs has been on air carriers and commercial operators, TSA is aware that general aviation aircraft of sufficient size and weight may inflict significant damage and loss of lives if they are hijacked and used as missiles. TSA has current regulations that apply to large aircraft operated by air carriers and commercial operators, including the twelve-five program, the partial program, and the private charter program. However, the current regulations in 49 CFR part 1544 do not cover all general aviation operations, such as those operated by corporations and individuals, and such operations do not have the features that are necessary to enhance security.  Therefore, TSA is preparing a SNPRM which proposes to establish new security measures for operators, including general aviation operators, that are not covered under TSA's current regulations.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[DHS considered continuing to use voluntary guidance to secure general aviation, but determined that to ensure that each aircraft operator maintains an appropriate level of security, these security measures would need to be mandatory requirements.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This proposed rule would yield benefits in the areas of security and quality governance. The rule would enhance security by expanding the mandatory use of security measures to certain operators of large aircraft that are not currently required to have a security plan. These measures would deter malicious individuals from perpetrating acts that might compromise transportation or national security by using large aircraft for these purposes.

As stated above, TSA is revising this proposed rule and preparing a SNPRM. Aircraft operators, passengers, and TSA would incur costs to comply with the requirements of the proposed rule.  TSA is currently evaluating the costs of the revised rule which will be published in the SNPRM.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is proposing to revise its regulations governing the protection of Sensitive Security Information (SSI) to implement 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>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[TSA is required by statute to publish regulations requiring security programs for these operators. As part of its notice of proposed rulemaking, TSA will seek public comment on the numerous ways in which the final rule could carry out the requirements of the statute.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[TSA will estimate the costs that the public transportation agencies and passenger railroads covered by this proposed rule would incur following its implementation.  These costs will include estimates for the following elements: 1) creating or modifying a security training program and submitting it to TSA; 2) training (initial and recurrent) all security-sensitive employees; 3) maintaining records of employee training; 4) being available for inspections; 5) providing information on security coordinators and alternates; and 6) reporting security concerns.  TSA will also estimate the costs TSA itself would expect to incur with the implementation of this rule.

The primary benefit of the Security Training NPRM will be to enhance United States surface transportation security by reducing the vulnerability of public transportation agencies and passenger railroads to terrorist activity through the training of security-sensitive employees.  TSA uses a break-even analysis to assess the trade-off between the beneficial effects of the Security Training NPRM and the costs of implementing the rulemaking.  This break-even analysis uses scenarios extracted from the TSA Transportation Sector Security Risk Assessment (TSSRA) to determine the degree to which the Security Training NPRM must reduce the overall risk of a terrorist attack in order for the expected benefits of the NPRM to justify the estimated costs.  For its analyses, TSA uses scenarios with varying levels of risk, but only details the consequence estimates. To maintain consistency, TSA developed the analyses with a method similar to that used for the break-even analyses conducted in earlier DHS rules.  

After estimating the total consequence of each scenario by monetizing lives lost, injuries incurred, capital replacement and clean-up, and lost revenue, TSA will use this figure and the annualized cost of the NPRM for public transportation and passenger rail to calculate a breakeven annual likelihood of attack.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security aims to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States and to reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism. By providing for security training for personnel, TSA intends in this rulemaking to reduce the risk of a terrorist attack on this transportation sector.]]></RISKS>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[TSA will estimate the costs that the freight rail systems covered by this proposed rule would incur following its implementation.  These costs will include estimates for the following elements: 1) Creating or modifying a security training program and submitting it to TSA; 2) training (initial and recurrent) all security-sensitive employees; 3) maintaining records of employee training; 4) being available for inspections; 5) providing information on security coordinators and alternates; and 6) reporting security concerns.  TSA will also estimate the costs TSA itself would expect to incur with the implementation of this rule.

The primary benefit of the Security Training NPRM will be to enhance United States surface transportation security by reducing the vulnerability of freight railroad systems to terrorist activity through the training of security-sensitive employees.  TSA uses a break-even analysis to assess the trade-off between the beneficial effects of the Security Training NPRM and the costs of implementing the rulemaking.  This break-even analysis uses scenarios extracted from the TSA Transportation Sector Security Risk Assessment (TSSRA) to determine the degree to which the Security Training NPRM must reduce the overall risk of a terrorist attack in order for the expected benefits of the NPRM to justify the estimated costs.  For its analyses, TSA uses scenarios with varying levels of risk, but only details the consequence estimates. To maintain consistency, TSA developed the analyses with a method similar to that used for the break-even analyses conducted in earlier DHS rules.  

After estimating the consequence of each scenario by monetizing lives lost, injuries incurred, capital replacement and clean-up, and lost revenue, TSA will use this figure and the annualized cost of the NPRM for freight rail to calculate a breakeven annual likelihood of attack.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will propose new regulations to revise and standardize the procedures, adjudication criteria, and fees for most of the security threat assessments (STA) of individuals for which TSA is responsible.  In accordance with the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, the scope of the rulemaking will include transportation workers from all modes of transportation who are required to undergo an STA in other regulatory programs, including certain aviation workers and frontline employees for public transportation agencies, railroads, and over-the-road buses.

In addition, TSA will propose fees to cover the cost of the STAs, and credentials for some personnel.  TSA plans to improve efficiencies in processing STAs and streamline existing regulations by simplifying language and removing redundancies.]]></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.  TSA plans to publish a final rule in order to respond to the public comments and close out this rulemaking.

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>Aircraft Repair Station Security</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) proposed to add a new regulation to improve the security of domestic and foreign aircraft repair stations, as required by the section 611 of Vision 100--Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act and section 1616 of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007. The regulation proposed general requirements for security programs to be adopted and implemented by repair stations certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) was published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2009, requesting public comments to be submitted by January 19, 2010.  The comment period was extended to February 19, 2010, on request of the stakeholders to allow the aviation industry and other interested entities and individuals additional time to complete their comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is proposing regulations to improve the security of domestic and foreign aircraft repair stations. The NPRM proposed to require repair stations that are certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration to adopt and carry out a security program. The proposal will codify the scope of TSA's existing inspection program. The proposal also provides procedures for repair stations to seek review of any TSA determination that security measures are deficient.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Section 1616 of Public Law 110-53, Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Aug. 3, 2007; 121 Stat. 266) requires that the FAA may not certify any foreign repair stations if the regulations are not
issued within 1 year after the date of enactment of the 9/11 Commission Act unless the repair station was previously certificated or is in the process of certification.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[TSA is required by statute to publish regulations requiring security programs for aircraft repair stations. As part of its notice of proposed rulemaking, TSA sought public comment on the numerous alternative ways in which the final rule could carry out the requirements of the statute.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[TSA anticipates costs to aircraft repair stations mainly related to the establishment of security programs, which may include adding such measures as access controls, a personnel identification system, security awareness training, the designation of a security coordinator, employee background verification, and contingency plan.  The total 10-year undiscounted cost of the program is $344 million.  The discounted at 7 percent, 10-year cost of the program is $241 million.  Security coordinator costs of $132 million and training costs of $132 million represent the largest portions of the program. 

A major line of defense against an aviation-related terrorist act is the prevention of explosives, weapons, and/or incendiary devices from getting on board a plane.  To date, efforts have been primarily related to inspection of baggage, passengers, and cargo, and security measures at airports that serve air carriers.  With this rule, attention is given to aircraft that are located at repair stations, and to aircraft parts that are at repair stations, themselves to reduce the likelihood of an attack against aviation and the country.  Since repair station personnel have direct access to all parts of an aircraft, the potential exists for a terrorist to seek to commandeer or compromise an aircraft when the aircraft is at one of these facilities.  Moreover, as TSA tightens security in other areas of aviation, repair stations increasingly may become attractive targets for terrorist organizations attempting to evade aviation security protections currently in place.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security aims to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States and to reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism. By requiring security programs for aircraft repair stations, TSA will focus on preventing unauthorized access to repair work and to aircraft to prevent sabotage or hijacking.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Cargo Screening</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 16, 2009, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR) that established the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) that certifies shippers, manufacturers, and other entities to screen air cargo intended for transport on a passenger aircraft.  This is 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, 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 its employees and authorized representatives that will be screening cargo must successfully complete a security threat assessment.  The CCSF must also submit to an assessment of their security measures by TSA-approved validators, 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.

TSA will issue a final rule responding to public comments from the IFR.]]></ABSTRACT>

L. 110-53, 121 Stat. 266, 478, Aug. 3, 2007) requires that the Secretary of Homeland Security establish a system to screen 50 percent of cargo on passenger aircraft NLT 18 months after the date of enactment and 100 percent of such cargo NLT 3 years after the date of enactment.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[TSA is establishing a system to screen 100 percent of cargo transported on passenger aircraft operated by an air carrier or foreign air carrier in air transportation or intrastate air transportation to ensure the security of all such passenger aircraft carrying cargo. 

The system shall require, at a minimum, that equipment, technology, procedures, personnel, or other methods approved by the Administrator of TSA, used to screen cargo carried on passenger aircraft, provide a level of security commensurate with the level of security for the screening of passenger checked baggage.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[49 U.S.C. 114; section 1602 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-53, 121 Stat. 266, 478, 10/3/2007), codified at 49 U.S.C. 44901(g).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Interim Final Rule (IFR) states that as an alternative to establishing the CCSP, TSA considered meeting the statutory requirements by having aircraft operators screen cargo intended for transportation on passenger aircraftthat is, continuing the current cargo screening program but expanding it to 85 percent of air cargo on passenger aircraft, with the remaining 15 percent assumed to be shipped via other modes. Under this alternative, the cost drivers are screening equipment, personnel for screening, training of personnel, and delays. Delays are the largest cost component, totaling $7.0 billion over 10 years, undiscounted. In summary,
the undiscounted 10 year cost of the alternative is $11.1 billion, and discounted at 7 percent, the cost is $7.7 billion.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[TSA estimates the cost of the rule will be $1.9 billion (discounted at 7 percent) over 10 years. TSA analyzed the alternative of not establishing the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) and, instead, having aircraft operators and air carriers perform screening of all cargo transported on passenger aircraft. Absent the CCSP, the estimated cost to aircraft operators and air carriers is $7.7 billion (discounted at 7 percent) over 10 years.
The bulk of the costs for both the CCSP and the alternative are attributed to personnel and the impact of cargo delays resulting from the addition of a new operational process.

The benefits of the FR are five-fold. First, passenger air carriers will be more firmly protected against an act of terrorism or other malicious behaviors by the screening of 100 percent of cargo shipped on passenger aircraft. Second, allowing the screening process to occur throughout the supply chain via the Certified Cargo Screening
Program will reduce potential bottlenecks and delays at the airports. Third, the FR will allow market forces to identify the most efficient venue for screening along the supply chain, as entities upstream from the aircraft operator may apply to become CCSFs and screen cargo. Fourth, the CCSP enables members to screen
valuable cargo earlier in the supply chain and avoid any potentially invasive screening that may occur at the aircraft operator level. Finally, validation firms will perform assessments of the entities that become CCSFs, allowing TSA to set priorities for compliance inspections.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will take final action on the December 31, 2001, interim final rule (IFR) by completing an economic analysis and responding to comments received. 

That IFR established passenger civil aviation security service fees, known as the "September 11th Security Fee" in the amount of $2.50 per enplanement on passengers of domestic and foreign carriers in air transportation, foreign air transportation, and intrastate air transportation originating in the United States, up to $5.00 per one-way trip and $10.00 per round trip.  The fees are required under 49 U.S.C. 44940 to pay TSA for the costs of providing Federal civil aviation security services.]]></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 will 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 comment. This final rule transferred the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) rules (14 CFR 91, 107, 108, 109, 121, 129, 135, 139, 191) governing civil aviation security to TSA (49 CFR parts 1500, 1520, 1540, 1542, 1544, 1546, 1548, 1550).  ATSA mandated the transfer of these aviation security responsibilities from FAA to TSA.  This final rule made some revisions to the FAA rules in order to enhance security as required by ATSA (Pub. L. 107-71; Nov. 19, 2001).  The ATSA required 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 employees (or companies under contract with TSA) conduct the inspection and screening.  

In response to the 2002 final rule, TSA received 11 comments.  TSA is preparing to publish another final rule that closes out the 2002 final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Sensitive Security Information (SSI)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will issue a rulemaking document responding to comments received on the May 18, 2004, interim final rule (IFR). 

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[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will consolidate all requirements which relate to criminal history record checks (CHRC) in another rulemaking action; RIN 1652-AA61, Standardized Vetting, Adjudication, and Redress Services.

On December 6, 2001, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a final rule that required each airport operator and aircraft operator that had adopted a security program under 14 CFR parts 107 or 108 to conduct fingerprint-based CHRCs 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.]]></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.  TSA also issued a notice on April 13, 2009, that prescribes requests from alien flight students undergoing recurrent training.

TSA requires flight schools to notify TSA when aliens and other individuals designated by TSA apply for flight training or recurrent 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 propose a 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 developing a market share methodology and intends to seek public comments through issuance of a notice of proposed rulemaking.]]></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 1652-AA16).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 21, 2009, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published a final rule (74 FR 36030) amending its Investigative and Enforcement Procedures to conform to the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-53, 121 Stat. 266, 390, Aug. 3, 2007).  The rule established procedures by which TSA may issue civil monetary penalties for violations of any statutory requirement administered by TSA, including surface transportation requirements and Transportation Worker Identification Credentials requirements.  The rule also adjusted maximum civil penalties in accordance with Federal Civil Penalty Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-410, 28 U.S.C. 2461 note) and clarified and reorganized TSA's investigative and enforcement procedures.  TSA will issue a final rule responding to public comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule will clarify the criteria for nonimmigrant academic and/or professional and vocational students and exchange visitors (J status) to maintain nonimmigrant status.  In addition, the regulation will clarify the criteria for the schools certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to enroll students and to fulfill their associated recordkeeping, retention, and reporting requirements to SEVP in F or M classification.  The regulation will also codify refinements in policy and procedures that have evolved since the last major regulatory update in 2002 and since the establishment of SEVP more than six years ago, and remove obsolete provisions in the regulations used before and during implementation of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).  Finally, the regulation will incorporate language supporting a major reprogramming of SEVIS, known as SEVIS II.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) is proposing to amend the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulatory provisions for custody determinations for aliens in immigration detention who are subject to an administratively final order of removal.  The proposed amendment would add a paragraph to 8 CFR 241.4(g) providing that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shall have a reasonable period of time to effectuate an alien's removal where the alien is not in immigration custody when the order of removal becomes administratively final.  The proposed rule would also clarify the removal period time frame afforded to the agency following an alien's compliance with his or her obligations regarding removal subsequent to a period of obstruction or failure to cooperate.  The rule proposes to make conforming changes to 241.13(b)(2).  Lastly, the rule proposes to add a paragraph to 8 CFR 241.13(b)(3) to make clear that aliens certified by the Secretary under section 236A of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1226a, are not subject to the provisions of 8 CFR 241.13, in accordance with the separate detention standard provided under the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Continued Detention of Aliens Subject to Final Orders of Removal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is finalizing, with amendments, the interim rule that was published on November 14, 2001, by the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service).  The interim rule included procedures for conducting custody determinations in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001), which held that the detention period of certain aliens who are subject to a final administrative order of removal is limited under section 241(a)(6) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) to the period reasonably necessary to effect their removal.  The interim rule amended section  241.4 of title 8, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), in addition to creating  two new sections: 8 CFR 241.13 (establishing custody review procedures based on the significant likelihood of the alien's removal in the reasonably foreseeable future) and 241.14 (establishing custody review procedures for special circumstances cases).  Subsequently, in the case of Clark v. Martinez, 543 U.S. 371 (2005), the Supreme Court clarified a question left open in Zadvydas, and held that section 241(a)(6) of the Act applies equally to all aliens described in that section.  This rule amends the interim rule to conform to the requirements of Martinez.  Further, the procedures for custody determinations for post-removal period aliens who are subject to an administratively final order of removal, and who have not been released from detention or repatriated, have been revised in response to comments received and experience gained from administration of the interim rule published in 2001.  This final rule also makes conforming changes as required by the enactment of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (HSA).  Additionally, certain portions of the final rule were determined to require public comment and, for this reason, have been developed into a separate/companion notice of proposed rulemaking; RIN 1653-AA60.]]></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. The maximum period of OPT is 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. Employers of F-1 students with an extension of post-completion OPT authorization must 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.

The final rule will respond to public comments and may make adjustments to the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

The IFR increased the maximum period of OPT from 12 months to 29 months for nonimmigrant students who have completed a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) degree and who accept employment with employers who participate in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS') E-Verify employment verification program.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[DHS is considering several alternatives to the 17-month extension of OPT and cap-gap extension, ranging from taking no action to further extension for a larger populace.  The interim final rule addressed an immediate competitive disadvantage faced by U.S. industries and ameliorated some of the adverse impacts on the U.S. economy.  DHS continues to evaluate both quantitative and qualitative alternatives.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Based on an estimated 12,000 students per year that will receive an OPT extension and an estimated 5,300 employers that will need to enroll in E-verify, DHS projects that this rule will cost students approximately $1.49 million per year in additional information collection burdens, $4,080,000 in fees, and cost employers $1,240,000 to enroll in E-Verify and $168,540 per year thereafter to verify the status of new hires.  However, this rule will increase the availability of qualified workers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematical fields; reduce delays that place U.S. employers at a disadvantage when recruiting foreign job candidates, thereby improving strategic and resource planning capabilities; increase the quality of life for participating students, and increase the integrity of the student visa program.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requiring Aliens Ordered Removed From the United States To Surrender to the Department of Homeland Security for Removal</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the regulations of the Department of Homeland Security to establish that an alien who becomes subject to an administratively final order of removal, deportation, or exclusion has an affirmative duty to surrender to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  An alien generally must meet his or her surrender obligations within 45 days of the date the order becomes final.  In addition, an obligor of a bonded alien has a duty to ensure that such alien meets his or her surrender obligations under this rule.  ICE will no longer send to aliens notices demanding their surrender.  ICE also will no longer send to obligors notices demanding the delivery of bonded aliens.  A bonded alien's failure to meet his or her surrender obligations pursuant to this rule constitutes a breach of the alien's bond.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to implement section 309(c)(3) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) by affording certain aliens rendered ineligible for relief from deportation in the law the opportunity to have their deportation proceedings terminated and removal proceedings initiated in order to apply for relief. Certain permanent resident aliens rendered ineligible for section 212(c) relief by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act and certain nonpermanent resident aliens rendered ineligible for suspension of deportation by the stop-time rule in IIRIRA may apply for "repapering" (as it is commonly known) under this rule. This process would not apply to aliens eligible for 212(c) relief pursuant to the procedures described in the Executive Office for Immigration Review rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

The rule also amends the regulations to provide that an F-1 student who carries less than a full course of study as a result of this special employment authorization will be deemed to be maintaining status for the duration of the authorization, as long as the student carries a minimum course load of 6 credit hours if the student is an undergraduate, or 3 credit hours if the student is in graduate school.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 324 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) requires FEMA to promulgate regulations establishing management cost rates for grantees and subgrantees.  Management cost rates are used to determine the maximum amount of funds provided to grantees and subgrantees to reimburse the indirect costs, administrative expenses, and other expenses not directly chargeable to a specific project incurred by the grantees and subgrantees in the management and administration of Stafford Act grants.  FEMA established management cost rates and procedures in a 2007 interim final rule.   As a result of public comments, FEMA will propose substantive revisions to the rate structure, the rates themselves, the application process, and the programs to which the rule applies.]]></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 (PL 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) proposes to amend its regulations regarding the FEMA, Federal Insurance Administration, Financial Assistance/Subsidy Arrangement (Arrangement).  The Arrangement is between the Write-Your Own (WYO) Companies and FEMA.  The Arrangement defines the duties and responsibilities of insurers that sell and service flood insurance under the WYO Program.  The Arrangement also identifies the financial and technical assistance FEMA will provide to these insurers.  FEMA proposes to amend the Arrangement to increase the amount of compensation to the WYO Companies in recognition of additional expenses incurred by the WYO Companies in implementing the requirements of the Bunning-Bereuter-Blumenauer Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 to reflect lessons learned from recent events, and propose further substantive and non-substantive clarifications and corrections to improve upon 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, improving the Project Worksheet process, empowering grantees, and improving State Administrative Plans.]]></ABSTRACT>

Portions of FEMA's Public Assistance regulations have become out of date and do not implement all of FEMA's available statutory authorities.

The proposed changes are intended to improve the efficiency and consistency of the Public Assistance program.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The legal authority for the changes in this proposed rule is contained in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 to 5207, as amended by the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006, 6 U.S.C. 701 et seq, the Security and Accountability For Every Port Act of 2006, 6 U.S.C. 901 note, the Local Community Recovery Act of 2006, Public Law 109-218, 120 Stat. 333, and the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006, Public Law 109-308, 120 Stat. 1725.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[One alternative is to revise some of the current regulatory requirements (such as application deadlines) in addition to implementing the amendments made to the Stafford Act by (1) the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA), Public Law 109-295, 120 Stat. 1394; 2) the Security and Accountability For Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act), Public Law 109-347, 120 Stat. 1884; 3) the Local Community Recovery Act of 2006, Public Law 109-218, 120 Stat. 333; and 4) the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006 (PETS Act), Public Law 109-308, 120 Stat. 1725.  Another alternative is to expand funding by expanding force account labor cost eligibility to Category A Projects (debris removal).]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule is expected to have economic impacts on the public, grantees, subgrantees, and FEMA. The expected benefits are a reduction in property damages, societal losses, and losses to local businesses, as well as improved efficiency and consistency of the Public Assistance program.  The total economic impact of the proposed rule is estimated to be approximately $50 million per year (in 2010 dollars). The primary economic impact of the proposed rule is the additional transfer of funding from FEMA through the Public Assistance program to grantees and subgrantees that is effectuated by this rulemaking. The proposed rule will also incur additional administrative costs to grantees and FEMA, which is estimated to be approximately $230,000, and $20,000 per year, respectively. However, most of the proposed changes are not expected to result in any additional cost to FEMA or any changes in the eligibility of assistance.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Emergency Management Agency Stafford Act Mission Assignments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[If an emergency or major disaster is declared, FEMA may issue work orders known as Mission Assignments (MAs) to any other Federal agency directing that agency to complete a specified task, with or without reimbursement.  The MA sets forth funding, other managerial controls and guidance.  FEMA issues MAs to other Federal agencies to meet the urgent, immediate, or short-term needs of States or local governments unable to provide the resources needed to save lives, protect property, or preserve public health or safety during an emergency or major disaster or to avert the threat of an emergency or major disaster.

One of the primary goals of this proposed rule is to improve the MA process and program at FEMA.  In keeping with this, the rule revises the MA regulations (44 CFR 206.5, 206.7, and 206.8) to improve the standardization, efficiency, and effectiveness of the MA program.  The proposed changes add to the regulations a description of the three types of MAs: Federal operations support, technical assistance, and direct Federal assistance mission assignments.  The proposed changes also add provisions regarding the MA task order, reporting requirements, and time limitations.  
 
The rule implements two Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA) provisions: reimbursement for precautionary evacuations and durable medical equipment.  Sections 681(a)(5) and (b)(1)(a) of PKEMRA amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) to explicitly state that precautionary evacuation is a response effort that may be mission assigned to another Federal agency or carried out directly by FEMA.  FEMA proposes to revise 44 CFR 206.5(a) and (b) to include Federal agency assistance for precautionary evacuations through mission assignments.  This proposed change is not intended to add to or otherwise change FEMAs Public Assistance authorities.  FEMA currently provides funding for the evacuation of people and pets as emergency protective measures to save lives as established in 44 CFR 206.225.  An example of this was the evacuation of people from the Gulf Coast in the days before Hurricane Gustav.  This proposed change is intended to revise the regulations to conform to the language of the Stafford Act and ensure that there is no confusion that precautionary evacuations by the State and local governments may be assisted by Federal agencies through MAs from FEMA and/or coordinated by FEMA after an emergency has been declared. 
 
Section 689(b)(1) of PKEMRA amended section 403(a)(2) of the Stafford Act to include durable medical equipment in the list of items that may be distributed by Federal agencies to address immediate threats to life and property resulting from a major disaster.  To implement this new authority, FEMA proposes to revise the regulations to include the authority to direct any Federal agency to utilize its authorities and the resources granted to it under Federal law to distribute durable medical equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking implements section 408 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.  In doing so, the notice of proposed rulemaking would 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 689 of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA).  It is related to individuals with disabilities pursuant to PKEMRA section 689; and it would propose to revise FEMA's regulations to allow for the payment of security deposits and the costs of utilities, excluding telephone service.  The rule 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>Disaster Assistance; Public Assistance Repetitive Damage </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule implements aspects of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 by reducing the Federal cost share of FEMA Public Assistance to public and certain private nonprofit facilities repetitively damaged in the preceding 10 years by the same type of event, and for which required hazard mitigation has not been implemented.  The Federal Government should not repetitively reimburse eligible applicants for damage that could be prevented through mitigation efforts.  The reduced Federal cost share of the proposed rule is intended to provide an incentive to mitigate repetitive damage, promote measures that reduce future loss to life and property, protect Federal investment in public infrastructure, and help build disaster-resistant communities.]]></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>Revision to FEMA Rulemaking Policy and Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FEMA proposes to revise 44 CFR 1.4(b) to reflect the Agency's true policy regarding the publication of regulations with respect to its loan and grant programs.  Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, agencies are not required to publish notice and comment regulations for grant and loan programs.  FEMA has, however, voluntarily published regulations for its "no year" grant and loan programs.  Those are the programs whose appropriations are not changed annually, such as those in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended.  Annual or semi-annual grants, such as the Pre-Disaster Mitigation or Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response or other preparedness grant programs are issued by grant guidance on www.grants.gov.  Their frequently changing requirements and fast issuance deadlines are not conducive to the rulemaking process.  In proposing this change, FEMA would also propose to remove the outdated regulations for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program in part 152.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Equal Access to Housing in HUD ProgramsRegardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity 
(FR-5359)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this proposed rule, HUD strives to ensure that its core programs are open to all Americans regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.  As the nations housing agency, HUD programs are designed and administered to meet the national goal of a decent home and suitable living environment for every American.  It is HUDs responsibility to ensure that all otherwise eligible organizations, entities, individuals, and families have equal access to HUD programs and have the opportunity to compete fairly for HUD funds without being subject to arbitrary exclusion.  There is evidence, however, that lesbian, gay, and bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals and families are arbitrarily excluded from some housing opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination Based on Disability in Multi-Family Homeownership Projects (FR-5429)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise HUDs accessibility regulations applicable to multifamily homeownership projects receiving HUD federal financial assistance to achieve three primary purposes.  First, the proposed rule would amend the definition of multifamily housing project to provide that the term includes all multifamily housing projects funded by HUD that contain five or more dwelling units regardless of whether the units are rental units or homeownership units.  Second, the proposed rule would require the construction and alteration of multifamily housing projects containing homeownership units for sale to meet the same accessibility requirements as the construction and alteration of rental units. Third, the proposed rule would require that recipients selling homeownership units with accessible features undertake marketing and outreach efforts, and provide preferences to qualified persons with disabilities who need the features of the units.  These proposed changes are designed to ensure that multifamily housing constructed or altered for homeownership with HUD funds includes units that have accessible features, thereby ensuring that HUD and recipients of HUD funds meet their obligations to make available affordable homeownership housing for persons with disabilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>HUD Debt Collection:  Procedures for the Collection of Claims by the Government (FR-5166)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands (FR-5423)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would propose procedures to implement Executive Order 11990, entitled Protection of Wetlands, the purpose of which is to minimize the destruction, loss or degradation of wetlands and to preserve and enhance the natural and beneficial values of wetlands.  The rule will propose to clarify and streamline procedures to avoid the long- and short-term adverse impacts associated with the destruction of wetlands.  The procedures would apply to HUD, Indian tribes, states and local governments before making decisions to approve an action that would affect floodplains and wetlands.  The proposal would allow the Army Corp of Engineers enforcement of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, when applicable, to be used in place of the Executive Order 11990 process to eliminate duplication of reviews and minimize unnecessary delays.  The rule will propose several other changes to HUDs regulations that govern floodplain management, including expanding use of a shortened decision making process for HUD and grantees when considering the impact on floodplains in connection with minor rehabilitation projects or the repair of existing structures.  Specifically, the rule would propose to authorize the use of the abbreviated process for all of HUDs rehabilitation programs, not just for repairs financed under its mortgage insurance programs.  Finally, the rule would also allow activities that restore and preserve natural and beneficial functions of floodplains and wetlands to avoid the decision making process. These activities include the establishment of parks and green spaces.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conforming Changes Applicant Submission Requirements; Implementing Federal Financial Report and Central Contractor Registration Requirements (FR-5350)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule revises HUD regulations to reference the new Governmentwide Federal Financial Report (FFR), approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).   The purpose of the FFR is to consolidate requirements from the OMB issued Standard Forms SF-269, SF-269A, SF-272, and the SF-272A into a single Governmentwide form.  The consolidation provides recipients of HUD grants and cooperative agreements a standard format for reporting the financial status of their grants and cooperative agreements, and will assist in efforts to move to electronic grants management by reducing the variation and number of forms required for reporting.   In including the new FFR in its regulations, HUD revised its regulations to remove references to SF-270 and SF-271, since they are no longer in use.

This final rule also codifies the requirement that applicants for HUD assistance possess an active Central Contractor Registration (CCR).  Registration with CCR assists HUD in collecting, validating, and storing information in support of its grant programs and assists in ensuring the accuracy of data placed on the USASpending.gov website.]]></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>Housing Counseling: New Program Requirements (FR-5446)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend HUDs regulations for the Housing Counseling program to address the new program requirements and certification requirements for HUD approved housing counselors as provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 111-203, approved July 21, 2010).  The proposed rule would also reflect the authority and responsibility of HUDs new Office of Housing Counseling to coordinate and administer HUDs Housing Counseling program.

HUD's Housing Counseling program is authorized by section 106 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701x). Section 106 authorizes HUD to provide, make grants to, or contract with public or private organizations to provide a broad range of housing counseling services to homeowners and tenants to assist them in improving their housing conditions and in meeting the responsibilities of tenancy or homeownership. The regulations contained in this part prescribe the procedures and requirements by which the Housing Counseling program will be administered. These regulations apply to all agencies participating in HUD's Housing Counseling program.

The proposed regulatory amendments will implement the changes made to section 106 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which include directing that HUD-approved housing counseling agencies provide counseling that addresses the entire process of homeownership and that HUD establish materials and forms to be used by HUD-approved housing counselors.]]></ABSTRACT>

The changes enhance the choices and protections afforded borrowers participating in HUD's single family mortgage insurance programs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Housing Counseling program is authorized by section 106 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701x), as recently amended by subtitle D of title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As noted, the purpose of this rule is to update HUD's regulations that do not reflect current statutory requirements.  While certain statutory changes may be implemented through HUD's annual competitive allocation of fund for the Housing Counseling program provided by appropriations acts, the regulation nevertheless needs to be amended to reflect the program changed made by changes to the underlying statutory authority.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The benefit of the proposed regulatory amendments will be to strengthen the protection of consumers, primarily those who are prospective homeowners but also current homeowners through the enhanced counseling requirements provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  The more comprehensive counseling services directed to be provided and the review of materials and forms by HUD designed to better educate consumers about homeownership are expected to produce homebuyers better educated about the homeownership process and less vulnerable to fraudulent mortgage practices. Costs are expected to minimal.  The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act authorizes funding to help establish HUDs new Office of Housing Counseling and the additional functions to be carried out by this office.  The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act also authorizes additional funding for the expansion of services to be carried out by HUD-approved counseling agencies.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises HUDs title I mortgage insurance regulations as they pertain to manufactured home loans, and follows the issuance of a title I letter and brief Federal Register notice explaining and providing guidance on the changes HUD would make to the program.  The major changes to the currently codified rule are: An increase in insurable loan limits along with annual indexing to allow for future increases; coinsurance on an individual loan, rather than portfolio, basis; incontestability of insurance except for fraud or misrepresentation on the part of the lender; an upfront premium payment along with the annual premium payment; revisions to HUD's underwriting criteria; and, in the case where the manufactured home is intended to be rented, the requirement for a 3-year initial leasehold, renewable in 1-year increments.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proposed rule would help FHA-approved mortgage lenders better manage the risk involved in fixed interest rate HECMs, while ensuring 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Home Equity Conversion Mortgages--Financial Assessment and Escrow Accounts (FR-5353)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this proposed rule, HUD takes another step to reform and strengthen FHAs mortgage insurance functions and responsibilities.  The rule focuses on FHAs HECM program, which is FHAs reverse mortgage program that enables a senior borrower who has equity in his or her home to withdraw a portion of the equity.  Among other changes, this rule proposes to clarify the requirements under which a surviving spouse of a mortgagor may remain in the property after the death of the mortgagor homeowner, where the surviving spouse is not a mortgagor.  This rule also proposes to require HECM lenders to perform a financial assessment of prospective HECM mortgagors prior to loan approval and closing.  The rule would also limit the insurance benefits paid in connection with a claim involving amounts advanced on behalf of a mortgagor who has exhausted all HECM loan proceeds and is unable to pay property charges consisting of property taxes, ground rents, flood and hazard insurance premiums and assessments.  HUD also proposes to provide greater flexibility in establishing the minimum age of eligible homeowners and of the initial mortgage insurance premium.  These reforms are all directed to strengthening the HECM program and ensuring its availability in ht years to come for senior homeowners.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD's Housing Counseling Program provides, through HUD-approved counseling agencies and State Housing Finance agencies, counseling to individuals seeking information about financing, maintaining, renting, or owning a home. As part of HUDs ongoing efforts to professionalize the Housing Counseling Program, HUD is proposing a rule that would make standards on homeownership education, counseling, and foreclosure intervention mandatory. HUD participated in the development of the National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling, which currently are voluntary standards for the industry. The National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling offer a minimum basis for providing and evaluating quality homeownership and counseling. Through incorporation by reference, HUD would like to make these standards enforceable and obligatory on an industry-wide basis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FHA Mortgage Insurance for Existing Multifamily Homeownership Projects Under Section 223 (f) of the National Housing Act (FR-5395-P-01)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD proposes to revise its regulations governing the eligibility for Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insurance of mortgages used for the purchase or refinancing of existing multifamily housing projects.  Although the statutory language authorizing such insurance does not distinguish between rental or homeownership multifamily projects, HUDs current regulations limit FHA insurance to existing rental projects.  Given the downturn in the mortgage lending market, the Department has determined the time is appropriate to reconsider this regulatory imposed limitation. FHA mortgage insurance could significantly improve the availability of funds and permit more favorable interest rates than would otherwise be likely.  Accordingly, this proposed rule would revise HUDs regulations to more closely track the statutory language and thereby enable existing homeownership multifamily project owners to obtain FHA insurance for the purchase or refinancing of their mortgage loans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD proposes to revise its regulations governing the eligibility for FHA insurance of mortgages used for the purchase or refinancing of existing multifamily housing projects.  Although the statutory language authorizing such insurance does not distinguish between rental or cooperative multifamily projects, HUDs current regulations limit FHA insurance to existing rental projects.  Given the current crisis in the capital markets and the significant downturn in the multifamily market, the Department has determined that this is an appropriate time to reconsider this regulatory imposed limitation with respect to the mortgage insurance for the  refinancing of cooperative projects.

        <RULE_TITLE>Title I Energy Retrofit Property Improvement Loans (FR-5445)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend HUDs regulations for the title I Property Improvement Loan Insurance program (Title I program) to better assist qualified borrowers obtain low-cost loans for specified energy improvements.  Through the Title I program, FHA makes it easier for consumers to obtain affordable home improvement loans by insuring loans made by private lenders to improve properties that meet certain requirements.  Title I program loans may be used to finance permanent property improvements that protect or improve the basic livability or utility of the property.  The proposed rule is being issued in response to the Recovery through Retrofit Report (Report), issued on October 19, 2009, by the Vice President and the White House Middle Class Task Force.  The Report builds on the foundation laid out in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Pub. L. 111-5; approved February 17, 2009) to expand green job opportunities in the United States and boost energy savings for middle class Americans by retrofitting homes for energy efficiency.  The Report recognizes that making American homes and buildings more energy efficient presents an unprecedented opportunity for communities throughout the country.  Home retrofits can potentially help people earn money, as home retrofit workers, while also helping them save money, by lowering their utility bills.  By encouraging nationwide weatherization of homes, workers of all skill levels will be trained, engaged, and will participate in ramping up a national home retrofit market.  

	The proposed regulatory amendments build upon the experience of HUD, title I lenders and consumers participating in the Departments Title I program Energy Retrofit Loan Demonstration.  Before undertaking rulemaking to codify the regulatory amendments on a permanent, nationwide basis, HUD decided to conduct a demonstration involving a limited number of lenders and areas of the country.  The demonstration will allow HUD to assess the success of the proposed modifications to the existing program and to address any programmatic concerns before authorizing its use throughout the country.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Report identified several barriers that have prevented a self-sustaining retrofit market from forming.  Among other barriers, the Report found that homeowners face high upfront costs and many are concerned that they will be prevented from recouping the value of their investment if they choose to sell their home.  The upfront costs of home retrofit projects are often beyond the average homeowners budget.  The report found that the solution to the lack of home energy retrofit financing is to make such financing more accessible and more consumer friendly.  The proposed regulatory amendments will help to address these needs by enabling qualified borrowers obtain title I low cost loans for energy-related home improvements.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Title I program is authorized under title I, section 2, of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1703).  Specifically, under section 2(a) of the National Housing Act, the Secretary of HUD is authorized to help homeowners finance alterations, repairs, and improvements in connection with existing structures or manufactured homes.  HUDs implementing regulations are codified at 24 CFR part 201.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The primary alternative HUD considered to amending the Title I regulations was use of the existing FHA Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) program.  The FHA EEM program allows a borrower to finance and incremental amount on their first mortgage to invest in energy efficiency, with an additional appraisal or further credit qualification, provided that the benefit of projected energy savings exceed the cost of the improvements, as estimated by an energy audit, HUD ultimately determined that the EEM was not an optimal vehicle for achieving the energy innovation goals of this rule.  First the FHA EEM is, by definition, a negative equity instrument, and negative equity is extremely problematic in the current housing market.  Another problematic feature of the EEM program is that the financing may exceed the benefit from and useful life of the measures, and result in a total net cost to the consumer that does not represent the optimal use of funds.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The aggregate net benefits are obtained by multiplying the individual net benefits by the expected number of loans and adding the expected social benefits of reduced energy consumption.  As a base case, HUD assumes a consumer household with annual savings of $1000, a zero percent price growth and a 7 percent discount rate.  The present value of a technical retrofit for this base case scenario is $11,400.  Assuming a rebound effect of 30 percent yields a comfort benefit of $3,400 and energy savings of $8,000 per participant (the "rebound effect" refers to the fact that the reaction of the consumer to the energy-saving technology will not necessarily reduce energy consumption by what is technically possible).  Approximately 24,000 loans are expected over two years.  For the base case scenario, this would equal $41 million comfort benefits and $96 million in energy saving for each year of the program.  The benefits of the FHA program may not equal the sum of the benefits of all retrofits financed through the program, but only reflect the benefits of the retrofits that would not have occurred without the program; however, the existence of significant market imperfections and the lack of affordable financing makes it reasonable to assume that a large proportion, if not all of the loans, will generate benefits.  The cost of receiving the energy-savings is the upfront investment plus the costs of financing the investment.  the cost per investment is thus equal to the size of the loan.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Approval of Farm Credit System Lending Institutions in FHA Mortgage Insurance Program (FR-5416)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend HUD regulations to enable the financial institutions of the Farm Credit System to seek approval to participate in the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance programs as approved mortgagees and lenders.  Recent difficulties in mortgage finance markets have reduced the availability of housing credit in rural areas.  HUD proposes to extend FHA mortgagee and lender eligibility to the Farm Credit System to provide an additional avenue for mortgage financing in these areas.  Participation in the FHA programs may better enable the financial institutions of the Farm Credit System to provide sound and dependable credit to American farmers, ranchers, producers or harvesters of aquatic products, their cooperatives, and farm-related businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Manufactured Housing Revision of Notification, Correction, and Procedural Regulations in Subpart I (FR-5238)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD is proposing to revise its regulations that implement statutory requirements concerning how manufacturers and others address reports of problems with manufactured homes. These "subpart I" regulations establish a system of protections with respect to imminent safety hazards and violations of the Federal construction and safety standards, assuring a minimum of formality and delay, while protecting the rights of all parties. The regulations implement requirements established by Congress in the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. Manufacturers, retailers and distributors, State Administrative Agencies, primary inspection agencies, and the Secretary would follow the procedures set out in subpart I to assure that notification and correction are provided with respect to manufactured homes when required. These remedial actions are not required, however, for failures that occur in any manufactured home or component as the result of normal wear and aging, unforeseeable consumer abuse, or unreasonable neglect of maintenance. This proposed revision of subpart I is based on a previous revision developed and submitted by the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee for the Secretary's consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This advance notice of proposed rulemaking rule will address the "required use" issue that is found in many closing transactions.  On May 15, 2009, HUD withdrew the revisions to the definition of "required use" as provided in HUD's November 17, 2008, final rule amending its Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) regulations after deferring the effective date of the definition of required use on January 15, 2009, and soliciting public comment on March 10, 2009.  HUD took into consideration the public comments received and decided to withdraw the revised "required use" definition, leaving in place the definition of "required use" before the revisions made by the November 17, 2008, final rule.  In withdrawing the definition, HUD reiterated its commitment to the RESPA reform goals of the November 17, 2008, final rule and to initiate a new rulemaking process on required use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>Federal Housing Administration (FHA): Hospital Mortgage Insurance Program--Refinancing Hospital Loans (FR-5334)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise the regulations governing FHA's section 242 Hospital Mortgage Insurance Program for the purpose of codifying, in regulation, FHA's implementation of its authority that allows hospitals to refinance existing loans, without requiring such refinancing only in conjunction with the expenditure of funds for construction or renovation, which is the existing program requirement. At a time when the demand for health care services are on the rise, the lack of access to capital has made it difficult for hospitals to obtain financing for facility, equipment, and technology needs, as well as meet obligations on existing debt.  By expanding FHA's Hospital Mortgage Insurance Program to allow for refinancing of existing debt without conditioning such refinancing on new construction or renovation, HUD believes it can contribute to alleviating financial stress on hospitals, and maintaining the availability of hospitals in many communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

HUD earlier issued this rule in 2006, but more recently published it for public comment in accordance with a court decision.

        <RULE_TITLE>HOPE for Homeowners Program; Statutory Transfer of Program Authority to HUD and Conforming Amendments To Adopt Recently Enacted Statutory Changes (FR-5340)

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the changes made to the HOPE for Homeowners program by the recently enacted Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009.  The HOPE for Homeowners program is a temporary program that offers homeowners and existing mortgage loan holders (or servicers acting on their behalf) insurance on the refinancing of loans for distressed mortgagors to support long term sustainable homeownership, including among other things, allowing homeowners to avoid foreclosure.  The statute also transfers program responsibility for the HOPE for Homeowners program to the Secretary of HUD.  Previously, the program was overseen by a board consisting of HUD, the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Reserve Board.  The board will continue in an advisory capacity to the Secretary of HUD on the implementation of the program.  HUD has also taken the opportunity afforded by this rule to address the two public comments received on the January 7, 2009, interim rule issued by the board.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend HUD's regulations governing manufactured homes that are to be the security for a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Title I loans and Title II insured mortgages. 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 and will continue to require compliance with current installation requirements in states that do not have a fully approved and certified (by HUD) installation program or an operational HUD-administered installation program. The rule would also amend HUD's regulations governing manufactured homes that are to be security for a Title I loan.  Additionally, the rule would align the flood hazard requirements for manufactured homes that are to be security for Title II insured mortgages with that of stick built homes. The rule would promote affordable housing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would codify a program to make available HUD-held, single-family assets for sale to governmental organizations and nonprofits for use in homeownership programs to revitalize certain areas.  Under the 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would establish a procedure whereby construction of new manufactured housing can be completed at the installation site rather than in the factory. Under current HUD regulations, manufacturers must obtain HUD approval for on-site completion of each of its designs. This rule would simplify the process by establishing uniform procedures by which manufacturers could complete construction of their homes at the installation site without obtaining advance approval from HUD. This rule would only apply to the completion of homes subject to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, not to the installation of homes subject to the Model Manufactured Home Installation Standards. Additionally, the final rule would not apply when a major section of a manufactured home is to be constructed on-site.]]></ABSTRACT>

The MHCC prepared and submitted to HUD its second group of recommendations to improve various aspects of the Construction and Safety Standards, including to the existing truss testing procedures, in 2003. These recommendations were included in a proposed rule to amend the Construction and Safety Standards, which HUD published December 1, 2004 (69 FR 70016).  In response to public comments on the 2004 proposed rule, HUD returned the proposal on truss testing to the MHCC for further consideration. After deliberation, the MHCC submitted an amended version of its 2003 proposal to HUD for review.  After modifying certain of MHCCs recommendations, HUD published its proposed rule and is soliciting comments on both MHCCs recommendation as submitted to HUD, and HUDs modification of MHCC recommendation, before issuing truss testing procedures for effect.]]></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>

This rule would not prohibit HUD from requiring other, non-escrowed expenses necessary for upfront costs, underwriting needs, or otherwise to assure completion of the project.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration (FHA): Continuation of FHA Reform-Strengthening Risk Management Through Responsible FHA-Approved Lenders
FR-5356)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this rule, HUD continues its efforts to streamline, modernize, and strengthen the mortgage insurance functions and responsibilities of FHA, as authorized by provisions contained in the National Housing Act, as amended by the FHA Modernization Act of 2008, and further supported by the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009. First, this rule would eliminate the FHA approval process for loan correspondents. Mortgagees would be required to ensure that their loan correspondents meet applicable requirements. The FHA-approved mortgagee will, in turn, act as sponsor as it has in the past, but in using a sponsor/correspondent relationship, the sponsoring mortgagee must agree to assume responsibility for any loan correspondent that works with the mortgagee in the FHA insured loan, and assume liability for the FHA insured loan underwritten and closed in the name of the FHA approved mortgagee. This rule would also increase the net worth requirement for FHA-approved mortgagees for the purpose of ensuring that approved mortgagees are sufficiently capitalized.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) establishes a Housing Trust Fund.  Section 1338 of HERA directs HUD to establish and manage a Housing Trust Fund, which is to be funded with amounts allocated by the Government-sponsored enterprises or by any amounts that may be appropriated, transferred, or credited to the Housing Trust Fund under any other provision of law.  The purpose of the Housing Trust Fund is to provide grants to states for use to: (1) Increase and preserve the supply of rental housing for extremely low- and very low-income families, including homeless families; and (2) increase homeownership for extremely low- and very low-income families. HERA charges HUD to establish, by July 2009, and through regulation, the formula for the distribution of the Housing Trust Fund grants to States, and to follow that rule with one that implements the Housing Trust Fund program requirements.  Consistent with that charge, HUD published a proposed rule to establish the allocation formula on December 4, 2009.  A separate proposed rule will be issued for the program requirements, and a single final rule will be issued for both proposed rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Program; Defining &quot;Homeless&quot; (FR-5333)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act) reauthorizes the homeless assistance programs administered by HUD under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and consolidates these programs into a single grant program.  The consolidated program, which consists of an Emergency Solutions Grant Program, a Continuum of Care Program, and a Rural Housing Stability Program, is designed to ensure that the range of needs of homeless persons continue to be addressed but provides for consolidated grant application and administration to ease administrative burden and improve coordination among providers and, consequently, increase the effectiveness of responses to the needs of homeless persons.  HUD will issue two rules to implement this new program.  One rule which will solely address the definitions of "homeless," "homeless individual," and "homeless person," the meaning of which are essential to the coverage provided by this program, published as a proposed rule on April 20, 2010 (75 FR 20541.)  The second rule will establish the regulatory framework to implement the program.  The two rules will be combined at the final rule stage.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Section 108 Community Development Loan Guarantee Program: Participation of States as Borrowers Pursuant to Section 222 of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (FR-5326)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 222 in Division I of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009, Public Law 111-8 (2009 Appropriations Act).  Section 222 authorizes HUD, to the extent of Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 loan guarantee authority, to provide community development loan guarantees, under section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (HCD Act), to States borrowing on behalf of local governments in nonentitlement areas (governments that do not receive annual Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) from HUD).  Section 108 authorizes HUD to guarantee notes issued by such nonentitlement local governments or their designated public agencies supported by the respective States pledge of its CDBG funds.  Prior to the enactment of section 222, HUD lacked authority to guarantee notes issued by States on their behalf.  State officials interested in applying for a loan guarantee commitment pursuant to this new authority should take note that HUDs authority to issue such commitments will expire on September 30, 2010 (and could be fully utilized by other borrowers before that date), unless the provision continues to be included in future appropriations acts.  The rule, however, contains language that will make the provisions implementing this new authority continue to apply, in the event that provisions equivalent to section 222 are included in future appropriations acts.  Because the provisions of section 222 expand, rather than replace, existing section 108 authority, HUD will also continue to accept nonentitlement local government issuers' State-supported applications for loan guarantee commitments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Economic Opportunities for Low- and Very Low-Income Persons (FR-4983)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise HUD's regulations found at 24 CFR part 135, which ensure that employment, training, and contracting 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 that 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 HUD programs that are subject to the section 3 regulations; (2) clarify the obligations of covered recipient agencies; and (3) simplify the Department's section 3 complaint processing procedures.]]></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>Physical Needs Assessment (FR-5361)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise the physical needs assessment (PNA) requirements for public housing agencies (PHAs). The need for PHAs to engage in strategic planning has increased considerably over the past decade as PHAs have become increasingly active in utilizing a variety of forms of financing to modernize and develop public housing.  While such which financing creates opportunity, also it carries with it certain costs and long-term future obligations. In addition, PHAs are required to transition to an asset-based accounting and management model, which transition further highlights the need for strategic planning over a long-term period. This proposed rule will require PHAs to project the current modernization and life-cycle replacement repair needs over a 20-year period in accordance with the useful life of individual properties and their building components and systems to ensure the long-term viability of the property. This rule would also synchronize the performance of the PNA with the performance of an energy audit.  Additionally, in accordance with the asset-management, or project-based, model for managing PHAs, the physical needs would be assessed for each project, with a summary for the whole PHA.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule clarifies existing requirements and includes more detail to assist PHAs in carrying out their responsibilities under the demolition/disposition program.  The areas to be addressed by this rule include:  PHA application submission requirement; resident relocation requirements; reasons for demolition and/or disposition; methods of disposition; use of proceeds; and future use restrictions on former public housing property.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) Implementing and Conforming Rule for HERA and Related Regulatory Changes to the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and Section 8 Project-Based Voucher </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Housing and Economic Recovery Act, enacted into law on July 30, 2008, made comprehensive and significant reforms to several HUD programs, including HUDs public housing, section 8 tenant-based and project-based voucher programs.  On November 24, 2008, HUD published a notice that provided information about the applicability of certain HERA provisions to these programs.  This rule provides the regulations to implement those provisions of HERA that require implementing regulations, as well as conforming regulations for the self-executing provisions of HERA.  This rule also takes into consideration the two public comments received in response to issuance of the November 2008 notice, and solicits additional public comment.  This rule also makes additional changes to the regulations of the Section 8 Tenant-Based Voucher and Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Programs for the purposes of updating certain regulations to reflect current practices, and clarifying other regulations, which based on experience, HUD determined would benefit from clarification.]]></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 on an interim basis to improve evaluation and oversight of public housing agencies (PHAs), while accepting additional public comment with a view to further development of PHAS.  First, this rule will amend HUD's Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) regulations for the purposes of: (1) revising certain PHAS regulations, based on HUDs experience with PHAS since it was established in 1998 as the new system for evaluating a PHA; (2) revising the management assessment to rely on material readily obtainable by HUD from current information systems, changing scoring weights to more accurately reflect the importance of specific elements, such as the physical condition of projects, removing the current resident satisfaction indicator pending further development, and making Capital Fund compliance into a separate indicator; 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule implements a program to allow public housing agencies (PHAs) to use proceeds of their Capital Fund program for financing activities, including payment of debt service and housing development and modernization activities.  A PHA may grant a security interest in future Capital Fund grants, subject to the appropriation of those funds by Congress.   This final rule follows a proposed rule that addressed use of public housing Capital Funds and operating funds for financing activities, and takes into consideration the public comments received on that rule. This final rule addresses only use of public housing Capital Funds for financing activities.  Given the public comment received on the proposed rule, HUD determined further consideration must be given to HUDs proposal for use of operating funds for financing activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Reporting Requirements for the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (FR-5232)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This 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 rule would require ICDBG grantees to use the Logic Model form developed as part of HUD's 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.  This change will help ensure uniformity in the information provided by ICDBG grantees on performance goals and thereby facilitate the evaluation of grantee performance.]]></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 an 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[The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to amend its oil and gas regulations to make the cessation of production rules consistent with the Mineral Leasing Act.  Currently, for a lease in its extended term, the regulations allow a Federal oil and gas lessee 60 days from the BLM notification of cessation of production to come into compliance with the regulations, or the lease terminates.  The Mineral Leasing Act allows 60 days from the cessation of production, rather than 60 days from the BLM's notification, for the lessee to come into compliance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Timber Sale Contract Modification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would expand the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) existing authorities to extend or modify timber sale contracts on BLM-managed public lands.  The rule would allow timber sale contracts to be extended or modified during severe declines in the timber market.  Currently, timber companies must pay penalties if they do not harvest the timber as called for in their 3-year contracts with the BLM.  The proposed change could help timer companies withstand severe market fluctuations with minimal cost to the Federal Government.  The U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs already have similar authorities to modify or extend their timber sale contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Paleontological Resource Preservation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Paleontological Resources Preservation Act (PRPA) was passed as part of the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009.  The PRPA requires the Interior agencies and the Forest Service to manage and protect paleontological resources on Federal land using scientific principles and expertise.  The PRPA requires the Secretary to develop plans for the inventory, monitoring, and scientific and educational use of paleontological resources.  This includes developing regulations on the qualifications required for obtaining a permit to collect and study paleontological resources on Federal lands.  Although the PRPA generally prohibits the collecting of paleontological resources without a permit, it provides an exception for casual collecting at the agency's discretion.  The rule would also define casual collecting, provide for confidentiality of locality, and address criminal and civil penalties.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grazing Administration--Exclusive of Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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[This rule would codify certain best practices for operations on 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, 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 operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would implement the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 revenue sharing provisions for the years 2017 and thereafter.  Revenues shared  under this regulation would emerge from leases issued after December 20, 2006, in most of the Central and Western GOM planning areas.  The GOMESA mandates promulgation of revenue sharing regulations that allocate royalties, rentals, and bonuses collected from OCS leases.  This regulation would provide a familiar formula and methodology for revenue sharing with oil and gas producing States in the Gulf of Mexico.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule requires that each Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lessee/operator develop, maintain, and operate under a Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) program composed of 12 elements.  The 12 elements are Safety and Environmental information, Hazards Analysis, Management of Change, Operating Procedures, Safe Work Practices and Training, Mechanical Integrity, Re-startup Review, Emergency Response and Control, Investigations of Incidents, Audit of Safety and Environmental Management Program Elements, and Records and Documentation.  Each SEMS program will 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 will reduce the risk and number of accidents, injuries, and spills during OCS activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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 will 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>Migratory Bird Permits; Abatement Permits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We intend to issue regulations governing the use of raptors (birds of prey) in abatement activities. Abatement is the use of trained raptors to flush, haze, or take birds (or other wildlife, when allowed) to mitigate depredation problems, including threats to human health and safety. We allowed this activity beginning with publication of Migratory Bird Permit Memorandum 5, dated August 22, 2007. We propose to promulgate regulations that provide a new permit and better guidance for the activity, rather than continuing to issue Special Purpose permits for it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Injurious Wildlife Evaluation; Amphibian Trade and Chytrid Fungus</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are reviewing a petition to add all live amphibians or their eggs to our list of injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act unless certified as free of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (chytrid fungus). The importation and introduction of live amphibians infected with chytrid fungus into U.S. natural ecosystems may pose a threat to native amphibians. Under the Lacey Act, wildlife can be listed as injurious if they may pose a threat to the interests of agriculture, horticulture, forestry, or wildlife or wildlife resources of the United States. Amphibians accompanied by a health certificate verifying that they are free of chytrid fungus would not be listed as injurious. For live amphibians or their eggs infected with chytrid fungus, an injurious wildlife listing would prohibit the importation into, or transportation between, States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any U.S. territory or possession by any means, without a permit. Permits may be issued for scientific, medical, educational, or zoological purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

Among other things, we expect the guidelines to cover: (1) Proper evaluation of areas for wind energy development, (2) proper location and design of turbines and associated structures, and (3) pre- and post-construction research and monitoring to identify and/or assess impacts to wildlife. Our guidelines will address all FWS trust resources with a focus on bird and bat species, and work to avoid or minimize impacts to their habitats, considering compensatory mitigation as one option.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Seizure and Forfeiture Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <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, or we may delist the species.]]></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[We will propose to 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>

Currently a candidate for listing under the ESA (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 for another species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revised Special Rule for the Utah Prairie Dog</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Utah prairie dog (UPD) was listed as an endangered species in 1973. In 1984, we reclassified the species as threatened and promulgated a special rule under section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act that allowed regulated take of up to 5,000 nuisance animals annually on agricultural lands in Iron County, Utah. On June 14, 1991, we amended the special rule to allow regulated take of up to 6,000 nuisance animals annually on agricultural lands throughout the species range. Since the inception of the 4(d) rule, not more then 1,760 UPDs have been taken in any 1 year, with an annual average of 936. We propose to amend the 4(d) rule to lower the annual take numbers to more accurately reflect the realities of take implemented under the current rule. This amendment will be based on the specific numbers of UPDs that are taken annually under the current rule, as well as on pertinent biological literature.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to reclassify 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>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>

        <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 will 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Captive-Bred Wildlife Prohibitions; Generic Tigers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing to amend our regulations that establish the Captive-Bred Wildlife Registration Program under the Endangered Species Act for nonnative captive-bred wildlife. This revision will consist of removing generic tigers (Panthera tigris) from 50 CFR 17.21(g)(6), resulting in the requirement that operations with this species need to meet all of the requirements under the captive-bred wildlife regulations found at 50 CFR 17.21(g)(1)-(4). Generic tigers are specimens not identified or identifiable as members of the Bengal, Sumatran, Siberian, or Indochinese subspecies. This action would give generic tigers the same level of protection that "pure" tigers receive under the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under a settlement agreement, we will propose critical habitat designation for the western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus), one of two subspecies of snowy plover to nest in North America. A small shorebird that occurs on sandy beaches, barren salt flats, or dry mudflats along the coast from Washington, Oregon, and California, the western snowy plover is also found in Baja California, Mexico. The Pacific coast population of the western snowy plover (Pacific Coast WSP) is defined as those individuals nesting adjacent to tidal waters of the Pacific Ocean, and includes all nesting birds on the mainland coast, peninsulas, offshore islands, adjacent bays, estuaries, and coastal rivers.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 1, 2010 (75 FR 9316), we revised our captive-reared waterfowl sale and disposal regulations to address issues with muscovy duck. Since that final rule, we have been made aware of issues regarding regulating muscovy ducks that were not raised when our regulations were published for comment in 2008 (73 FR 49626). We propose to revise the regulations governing control of captive-reared waterfowl at 50 CFR 21.14 (permit exceptions for captive-bred migratory waterfowl other than mallard ducks) and section 21.25 (waterfowl sale and disposal permits) to address issues raised.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to amend our existing manatee protection regulations in Kings Bay by publishing an emergency rule to expand Kings Bay manatee refuge by designating all of it as a manatee refuge. The designation would provide a means to address concerns regarding manatee harassment from manatee viewing activities and the death and injury of manatees from watercraft collisions. This designation also would provide us with an adaptive management tool to address changing and increasing threat levels to manatees in the area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removing Regulation Excluding U.S. Captive-Bred Scimitar-Horned Oryx, Addax, and Dama Gazelle from Certain Prohibited Activities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will propose to revise the regulations by removing paragraph (h) of 50 CFR 17.21. This action would eliminate the exclusion of U.S. captive-bred live wildlife and sport-hunted trophies of scimitar-horned oryx, addax, and dama gazelle from certain prohibited activities, such as take and export, under the Act. This proposed change is in response to a court order to consider permit applications on a case-by-case basis. The three species remain listed as endangered, and a person would need authorization under the current regulations at 50 CFR 17.21(g) or 50 CFR 17.22 to conduct any prohibited activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Hunting; 2011-12 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We issue annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2011-12 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 2011-12 spring/summer migratory bird subsistence season in Alaska. Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide hunting opportunities for recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal governments in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at levels compatible with migratory bird population status and habitat conditions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revising the Critical Habitat Description Method </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Together with NMFS, we propose to revise our critical habitat description method in our joint regulations. This would not affect the regulations substance. In the interest of efficiency, saving taxpayer money, and making the critical habitat designation process more user friendly to the public, we would continue to publish critical habitat maps, but would make optional any textual description of boundary-coordinate lists in our regulations. Although the boundaries as mapped or otherwise described in our regulations would remain the official delineation of a critical habitat designation, we would provide the public with easier-to-use tools on the internet and at our offices that clarify which areas are covered by the designation. These tools will be available on the Internet and at the applicable FWS or NMFS Office.]]></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 are revising the Blackbird Depredation Order (50 CFR 21.43), which allows the control of certain blackbird species when they are causing agricultural and other depredations, to remove the Rusty Blackbird, a species of conservation concern due to population declines. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Four Penguin Species </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition to list 12 penguin species, we are making a determination on listing four penguin species as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. We published a 12-month finding on the petition. The 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 found listing of the emperor, macaroni, and northern rockhopper penguins to be not warranted. We will make a final listing determination for a significant portion of the range for the southern rockhopper penguin for the Campbell plateau. The original 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 will make a final determination on whether to list five southeastern fish as endangered under the ESA. The rush darter (Etheostoma phytophilum) is found in Alabama, the chucky madtom (Noturus crypticus) and laurel dace (Phoxinus saylori) in a few streams in Tennessee, the Cumberland darter (Etheostoma susanae) in Kentucky and Tennessee, and yellowcheek darter (Etheostoma moorei) in Arkansas. We will determine if these species warrant listing throughout their entire range.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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; Designation of Critical Habitat for Roswell Springsnail, Koster&apos;s Springsnail, Noel&apos;s Amphipod, and Pecos Assiminea </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will publish a final critical habitat designation for four southwestern invertebrates: Roswell springsnail, Koster's springsnail, Noel's Amphipod, and Pecos Assiminea. In August 2005, we published a final rule designating critical habitat for four southwestern invertebrates. In December 2007, Wild Earth Guardians filed a complaint challenging the merits of our critical habitat designation. Since our February 12, 2002, proposed designation, we have received no new information indicating that the species' ranges, habitat requirements, or threats have changed. Thus, we believe our February 2002 proposal is the appropriate starting point for designating critical habitat for these species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Critical Habitat Designation for Carex Lutea (Golden Sedge)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 will designate critical habitat by February 28, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will propose to revise our regulations governing three grant programs we administer under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration and Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Acts (Acts): Wildlife Restoration, Sport Fish Restoration, and Hunter Education and Safety. We will clarify specific issues relative to the Acts, make the regulations easier to understand, and address new issues raised during and after development of our July 24, 2008, final rule (73 FR 43120). These grant programs provide financial assistance to the fish and wildlife agencies of States and other eligible jurisdictions to restore and manage sport fish and wildlife and provide hunter education and safety programs.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan a proposed rule to include the hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis), a large aquatic salamander, including its two subspecies, the eastern hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis) and the Ozark hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis bishopi), in Appendix III of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES or Convention), including live and dead whole specimens, and all readily recognizable parts, products, and derivatives. Listing hellbenders in Appendix III of CITES is necessary to allow us to adequately monitor international trade in the taxon; to determine whether exports are occurring legally, with respect to State law; and to determine whether further measures under CITES or other laws are required to conserve this species and its subspecies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 1994 amendments to the Marine Mammal Protection Act direct us to publish a list of guidelines for use in safely deterring marine mammals and, if so determined, to prohibit deterrence measures that have a significant adverse impact. We have developed guidelines that put forth provisions that we believe are appropriate for deterring polar bears from damaging property and endangering the public, but which will not result in a significant adverse impact on polar bears.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Delisting Sonoran Desert Population of Bald Eagles in Arizona</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will submit a final rule to remove the Sonoran Desert population of bald eagles in Arizona from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. On March 6, 2008, a court enjoined our application of the July 9, 2007 (72 FR 37346), final delisting rule for the Sonoran Desert population of bald eagles, pending the outcome of a status review and 12-month petition finding. The court's order temporarily reinstated the listing of the bald eagle as threatened, but only for the eagles in the Sonoran Desert of central Arizona. Our 12-month finding, in which we have determined that listing the Sonoran Desert population is not warranted, published in the Federal Register on February 25, 2010. The final rule delisting the population will go to the Federal Register shortly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Establishing Nonessential Experimental Population of Whooping Cranes in Southwestern Louisiana </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend the 50 CFR 17.11 entry for whooping crane (Grus americana) to designate a nonessential experimental population in Louisiana. We propose to reintroduce the species into habitat in its historic range in Louisiana, with the intent to establish a nonmigratory flock that lives and breeds in the wetlands, marshes, and prairies of southwestern Louisiana. We propose that this reintroduced nonmigratory population be designated a nonessential experimental population (NEP) according to section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act. The area proposed for NEP designation is the State of Louisiana. Releases will be within the historic breeding area in southwestern Louisiana near White Lake in Vermilion Parish.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We have received a request to issue regulations authorizing incidental take of polar bears and Pacific walrus during oil and gas industry activities in the Southern Beaufort Sea and adjacent coast of Alaska. If finalized, these regulations would authorize such take for 5 years. Current regulations expire August 2, 2011. We would promulgate the regulations under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which authorizes issuance of regulations to allow the unintentional incidental take of small numbers of marine mammals in activities (other than commercial fishing) in specific geographical areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are making a final determination on listing two species of Hawaiian damselflies that have been candidates for endangered listing since 1984: Flying earwig Hawaiian damselfly (Megalagrion nesiotes), now known from only one population on the island of Maui, and the Pacific Hawaiian damselfly (M. pacificum), now known from one population on the island of Hawaii and a few populations each on the islands of Maui and Molokai. We have determined that critical habitat for these two species is prudent but not determinable at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing the reclassification of the Stephen's kangaroo rat, a nocturnal, burrowing, seed-eating rodent found in western Riverside and San Diego Counties, California, from endangered to threatened. 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>

These changes bring U.S. regulations in line with revisions adopted at the 14th meeting of the Parties. The revised regulations will help us more effectively promote species conservation, fulfill our responsibilities under CITES, and help those affected by CITES to understand how to conduct lawful international trade in wildlife and wildlife products.]]></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 will make a final determination on our proposal to list 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>Wildlife and Fisheries; Removing Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 2901-2911) encouraged Federal agencies to utilize their statutory and administrative authority to conserve and protect non-game fish and wildlife and their habitats. The Act provided funding and technical assistance to States to design conservation plans and programs to benefit nongame species. No further funding is being made available through the Act, and two other programs--Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Program (WCRP) and State Wildlife Grants (SWG)--now serve the same purpose (although only SWG receives funding). Therefore, we are removing part 83 from our regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Hunting; 2010-11 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We issue annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2010-11 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 2010-11 spring/summer migratory bird subsistence season in Alaska. Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide hunting opportunities for recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal governments in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at levels compatible with migratory bird population status and habitat conditions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Permits; Updating Regulations Governing Migratory Bird Rehabilitation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We published a final rule on October 27, 2003, to create regulations for migratory bird rehabilitation in the United States. Certain language in that rule dealt with transition of previous permit holders to operation under the new regulations. Since all permit holders who wished to transfer to permits under the new regulations have had the opportunity to do so, the transition language is no longer relevant; therefore, we remove it from the regulations.]]></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>Mammoth Cave National Park--Bicycle Trails</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would designate three bicycle trails in Mammoth National Park.  NPS regulations require a special regulation to authorize use of bicycles on routes outside of developed park areas.  The local population around Mammoth Cave has a high interest in use of the bike trail, especially since it would connect to Park Citys bike trail outside the park.  NPS developed a comprehensive management plan environmental assessment (EA) and published a finding of no significant impact on December 18, 2008.  The park held two separate public meetings for review and comment on the draft plan and EA.  Included in the plan is construction of a 6-mile single track bicycle trail.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will update the provisions governing use of the Colorado River and adjoining federally owned lands within Grand Canyon National Park.  Changes are necessary to make the rule consistent with, and to help implement portions of, the park's recently revised Colorado River Management Plan.  The current rule governs the use of the Colorado River within the park upstream from Diamond Creek.  In accordance with the new Colorado River Management Plan, the updated rule will regulate the use of the entire Colorado River and adjoining federally owned lands within the park, including the reach of the river from Diamond Creek to the boundary between the park and Lake Mead National Recreation Area (approximately River Mile 277).  The new rule also will update or clarify some provisions of the current regulation and will delete other provisions as necessary.]]></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>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 moving those user groups not wishing to be exposed to nudists from over 25 percent of the seashore.  Attempts have been made to establish areas for nudists where contact with other visitors is minimal and have proven unsuccessful.  Brevard County has passed an anti-nudity ordinance, putting the National Park Service in conflict with a county law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish an administrative appeals process for claims made under the bad man provisions of treaties with Indian tribes.  These treaty provisions generally provide that if an official of the United States commits a wrong against the person or property of a person or tribal member, the United States will compensate the tribal member for the loss sustained.  Currently, there is no administrative process to resolve these claims; instead, the claimant must file suit in  Federal Claims  Court.

        <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.  The Department also adds a regulation stating that the United States is not liable for attorney fees in administrative forfeitures, as the courts have consistently held.

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, and the availability of remission to third parties, such as insurers, who reimburse victims pursuant to an indemnification agreement.]]></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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Rape is violent, destructive, and a crimeno less so when the victim is incarcerated. Tolerance of sexual abuse of prisoners in the government's custody is incompatible with American values. Congress affirmed the duty to protect incarcerated individuals from sexual abuse by enacting the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA), 42 U.S.C. section 15601 et seq.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[PREA requires the Attorney General to promulgate regulations that adopt national standards for the detection, prevention, and punishment of prison rape. PREA established the Commission to carry out a comprehensive legal and factual study of a penological, physical, mental, medical, social, and economic impacts of prison rape in the United States, and to recommend to the Attorney General national standard for the detection, prevention, reduction and punishment of prison rape. The Commission released its recommended national standards in a report dated June 23, 2009. Pursuant to PREA the final rule adopting national standards "shall be based upon the independent judgment of the Attorney General, after giving due consideration to the recommended national standards provided by the Commission...and being informed by such data, opinions, and proposals that the Attorney General determines to be appropriate to consider." 42 U.S.C. section 24607(a)(2). PREA expressly mandates that the Department shall not establish a national standard "that would impose substantial additional costs compared to the costs presently expended by the Federal, State, and local prison authorities." 42 U.S.C. section 24607(a)(3).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Given the specific direction of Congress, the Department is obligated to issue a rule that promulgates regulations establishing national standards to combat prison rape. As discussed in the rule and in the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) the Department has received input from numerous stakeholders concerning the development of these regulations and, as part of the development process, considered a wide range of proposals in developing the content of such standards.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[In directing the Attorney General to promulgate national standards for enhancing the prevention, detection, reduction, and punishment of prison rape. Congress understood that such standards were likely to require federal, state, and local agencies (as well as private entities) that operate inmate confinement facilities to incur costs in implementing and complying with those standards. Given the statue's aspiration to "eliminate" prison rape in the United states, Congress recognized that costs would need to be expended. Indeed, the statute's findings (42 U.S.C. section 15601) suggest an assessment by Congress that the benefits to society of eliminating prison rape are likely to outweigh any anticipated costs of achieving that goal.

The Department's full discussion of the anticipated costs and benefits of this rule is included in the rule's Initial Regulatory Impact Assessment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[These regulations are intended to carry out the intent of Congress to eliminate prison rape. The risks from the failure to promulgate these regulations are primarily that inmates in Federal, State, and local facilities would be at higher risk of sexual assault than they would be if these regulations are promulgated.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Claims Under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act; Requirements for Submission of Identification Records</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department of Justice regulations implementing the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, 42 U.S.C. section 2210 note (2006).  This rule amends existing regulations addressing the submission of documentation to establish a claimants identity.  The amended regulations (1) allow the submission of third-party affidavits in lieu of birth, death and marriage certificates, in cases where (a) it is impossible for the claimant or eligible surviving beneficiary to submit such identification documentation, or (b) in  the case of Native American claimants who are not required to provide those records, affidavits would be permissible when the tribes recordkeeping office has no such identifying information; (2) relax the current regulation requiring claimants or eligible surviving beneficiaries to provide certified or original documentation to establish identity by permitting the submission of photocopies; and (3) revise payment procedures, in certain situations, to permit partial payment of claims where multiple potential beneficiaries have been identified, but the Department lacks sufficient evidence to establish their eligibility as a beneficiary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Guidelines for Sex Offender Registration and Notification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), 42 U.S.C. 16901 et seq., establishes minimum national standards for sex offender registration and notification.  The Attorney General issued the National Guidelines for Sex Offender Registration and Notification ("SORNA Guidelines" or "Guidelines"), 73 FR 38029 et seq., on July 2, 2008, to provide guidance and assistance to jurisdictions in implementing the SORNA standards in their sex offender registration and notification programs.  These supplemental guidelines augment or modify certain features of the SORNA Guidelines in order to make a change required by the KIDS Act, 42 U.S.C. 16915a, and to address other issues arising in jurisdictions implementation of the SORNA requirements.  The matters addressed include certain aspects of public website posting of sex offender information, interjurisdictional tracking and information sharing regarding sex offenders, the review process concerning jurisdictions' SORNA implementation, the classes of sex offenders to be registered by jurisdictions retroactively, and the treatment of Indian tribes newly recognized by the federal government subsequent to the enactment of SORNA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets forth the procedures for the administrative review of denials of standing trustees' claims that certain expenses are actual, necessary for their administration of chapter 12 and 13 cases.  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>

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>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>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 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>Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Regulations: Allowance for Costs and Expenses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule conforms Department regulations implementing the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) (codified as amended at 42 U.S.C. section 2210 note (2006) to the decision of the Tenth Circuit in the case of Hackwell v. United States  491 F.3d 1229, 1241 (10th Cir. 2007). The Tenth Circuit held that the plain meaning of "services rendered" in section 9(a) of the Act revealed Congress's unambiguous intent to exclude "costs incurred" from the attorney fee limitation.  Consequently, the court invalidated section 79.74(b) as "contrary to the RECA's plain language."  (See also the District Court decision on remand: No. 04-cv-00827-EWN, 2008 WL 2900933.)  Accordingly, the Department is amending its regulation at 28 CFR 79.74(b) to strike the language "including costs incurred" from the agency's limitation on payments to attorneys representing claimants under RECA.]]></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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act: Definitions of &quot;Replaced&quot; and &quot;Significantly Upgraded or Otherwise Undergone Major Modification&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by section 109 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), the FBI promulgated Cost Recovery Regulations allowing telecommunications carriers to recover certain costs associated with implementing CALEA. The final rule was published on March 20, 1997 (62 FR 13307), and became effective on April 21, 1997. In response to public comment received during this rulemaking, the FBI published an ANPRM on November 19, 1996 (61 FR 58799), which solicited input on the definition of the term "significant upgrade or major modification" as used by CALEA. The "significant upgrade or major modification" NPRM was published on April 28, 1998 (63 FR 23231).  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.

TRANSFERRED RIN: This rulemaking 1110-AA21 continues the rulemaking previously listed as &quot;child&quot; RIN 1110-AA12 under &quot;parent&quot; RIN 1110-AA00.  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>

        <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>

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 1110-AA22  continues the rulemaking previously listed as &quot;child&quot; RIN 1110-AA13  under &quot;parent&quot; RIN 1110-AA00.  This rulemaking has been transferred to RIN 1110-AA22 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-AA21.)</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration Requirements for Individual Practitioners Operating in a Locum Tenens Capacity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 1, 2006, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published in the Federal Register a Final Rule Clarification of Registration Requirements for Individual Practitioners (71 FR 69478).  The Final Rule makes it clear that when an individual practitioner practices in more than one State, he or she must obtain a separate DEA registration for each State.  The Final Rule also noted that DEA would address its policy regarding locum tenens practitioners in a separate future document.  To adequately address this issue, DEA is publishing this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to seek information useful to the agency in promulgating regulations regarding locum tenens practitioners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA is revising its regulations to establish the criteria that will allow DEA-registered practitioners to sign and transmit controlled substances prescriptions electronically.  The regulations will also permit pharmacies to receive, dispense, and archive these electronic prescriptions.  These regulations would not mandate the use of electronic prescriptions, but would establish the requirements that must be met by any registrant that wishes to issue or receive electronic prescriptions for controlled substances.  The regulations would establish requirements that practitioners must meet when issuing electronic prescriptions, including requirements for the software applications used to issue those prescriptions; registrants would have to use only those software applications that meet the security requirements if they intend to sign, transmit, or process electronic prescriptions for controlled substances.  The regulations would not apply to software used to create a prescription that is then printed and manually signed.  These revised regulations would be in addition to, not a replacement of, the existing rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Schedules of Controlled Substances: Exempted Prescription Product; River Edge Pharmaceutical, Servira </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Rule amends the list of Exempted Prescription Products found in section 1308.32 of title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  This action is in response to DEA's review of new applications for exemption.  DEA has received one new application for exemption for River Edge Pharmaceutical's Servira®.  Having reviewed this application and relevant information, DEA finds that this preparation has no significant potential for abuse.  Therefore, DEA adds to the list of Exempted Prescription Products and exempted from the application of certain provisions of the Controlled Substances Act.]]></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>Record Requirements for Chemical Distributors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March 2006, Congress enacted the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005, which mandates that regulated sellers of scheduled listed chemical products self-certify with DEA before they are allowed to sell these products at retail.  DEA is revising its recordkeeping requirements to include a requirement that manufacturers, distributors, and importers obtain and maintain the certification number issued by DEA to regulated sellers in their records of sales.  This change will ensure that registrants verify that the regulated sellers to whom they distribute have successfully completed the mandatory self-certification process imposed by the CMEA for sales of scheduled listed chemical products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking corrects 21 CFR 1308.11 by removing 21 CFR 1308.11(g)(1)and (g)(2) which list the substances benzylfentanyl and thenylfentanyl as being temporarily subject to schedule I controls under the emergency scheduling provisions of the Controlled Substances Act. The temporary scheduling of benzylfentanyl and thenylfentanyl expired on November 29,1986. DEA determined that these compounds were both essentially inactive, with no evidence of abuse potential. As such, these compounds are no longer schedule I controlled substances and all references to these compounds are being deleted from 21 CFR 1308.11.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Additions to Listing of Exempt Chemical Mixtures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under this Direct Final Rule, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is updating the Table of Exempt Chemical Mixtures found in section 1310.13 of title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).  This action is in response to DEAs review of new applications for exemption.  Having reviewed applications and relevant information, DEA finds that these 21 preparations meet the applicable exemption criteria.  Therefore, these products are exempted from the application of certain provisions of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) pursuant to 21 CFR part 1310.

Pursuant to provisions of 21 CFR section 1310.13 the manufacturers of 21 chemical mixtures listed in the rule have applied for exemption pursuant to 21 CFR section 1310.13.  DEA has reviewed the applications received, as well as any additional information that may have been requested.  It has been determined that (1) each of these chemical mixtures is formulated in such a way that they cannot be easily used in the illicit production of a controlled substance; and (2) the listed chemical(s) contained in these chemical mixtures cannot be readily recovered.  Therefore, each of these manufacturers has received a DEA letter granting exempted status on the date shown in the table in this regulation.

This regulatory action merely conforms DEA regulations to the exemptions previously issued.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Classification and Program Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to revise its regulations on classification and program review to remove unnecessary regulations and to ensure that classification and program review procedures adequately address inmate needs.  This proposed rule also adds a new type of review, the "progress review."  A progress review will be an abbreviated program review meant to focus on an inmate's programming activities.  This shortened version of the more thorough program review will facilitate more efficiently-used staff and inmate time, in that it will primarily focus on any new or changed aspects of an inmates initial classification and participation in recommended programs.  Inmates who have 36 months or more until their projected release date will receive alternating program and progress reviews at least once every 180 calendar days, a practice that will allow the Bureau to more efficiently utilize staff time and resources.  The process will also allow staff to devote more time and resources to the reviews of inmates who are closer to their release dates, enabling the Bureau to better fulfill its mission to prepare inmates for eventual release into communities within the United States.]]></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>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) 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>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 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[Pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005, the Department of Justice promulgated a final rule to implement certification procedures for states seeking to qualify for the special Federal habeas corpus review procedures in capital cases afforded under chapter 154 of title 28 of the United States Code.  See Certification Process for State Capital Counsel Systems, 73 FR 75327 (Dec. 11, 2008).  A federal district court issued an injunction requiring the Department to provide an additional public comment period and publish a response to any comments received during that period.  The Department then solicited further public comments.  By this proposed rule, the Department is proposing to remove the December 11, 2008, regulations.  The Department will issue new regulations on this subject by separate rulemaking after the December 2008 regulations are removed.]]></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 or 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 its part of the status 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 CSAA establishes a criminal offense for the recruitment or use of child soldiers, establishes grounds of inadmissibility and deportability for aliens who have engaged in such recruitment or use, and provides that an alien who is inadmissible or deportable under these grounds shall be considered an alien with respect to whom there are serious reasons to believe that he or she committed a serious nonpolitical crime" for the purposes of asylum and withholding of removal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Forwarding of Asylum Applications to the Department of State</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending its regulations to alter the process by which the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) forwards asylum applications to the Department of State (DOS). Currently, EOIR forwards to DOS all Form I-589, Applications for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal (asylum applications) filed with EOIR Immigration Courts. The interim final rule will amend the regulations to permit EOIR to send asylum applications in its discretion to DOS where EOIR believes that DOS may have relevant country conditions information that may assist with the adjudication of the asylum application. This change will increase the efficiency of DOS' review of asylum applications and is consistent with similar changes made by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice (Department) is proposing to amend the regulations of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) by establishing procedures for the filing and adjudication of motions to reopen removal, deportation, and exclusion proceedings based upon a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.  This proposed rule is in response to Matter of Compean, Bangaly & J-E-C-, 25 I&N Dec. 1 (A.G. 2009), in which the Attorney General directed EOIR to develop such regulations.  The Department also proposes to amend the EOIR regulations which provide that ineffective assistance of counsel may constitute extraordinary circumstances excusing the failure to file an asylum application within 1 year after the date of arrival in the United States.]]></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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Board of Immigration Appeals: Affirmance Without Opinion, Referral for Three-Board-Member Review, and Publication of Decisions as Precedents
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These revisions implement, in part, the Attorney General's August 9, 2006, Memorandum for Immigration Judges and Members of the Board of Immigration Appeals. 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 on a panel or by a majority of permanent Board Members. With these tools, the Board can better manage its docket, budget its resources, and balance its competing adjudicatory responsibilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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' 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[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 the reorganization, a number of regulations pertaining to the responsibilities of DHS were duplicated in the new chapter V because of shared responsibilities.  Because DHS has amended its regulation at 8 CFR 292.3 concerning its disciplinary rules for practitioners appearing before DHS, 75 FR 5225 (February 2, 2010), the Department of Justice has determined that the duplicative provisions in 8 CFR 1292.3 pertaining to DHS' responsibility do not need to be reproduced in EOIR's regulations in chapter V, and that the few provisions relating to EOIR should be transferred to part 1003.  This interim rule, therefore, deletes unnecessary regulations in part 1292 and makes appropriate reference to the applicable DHS regulations.  Finally, this rule contains technical amendments to EOIR's practitioner disciplinary regulations, and a correction and clarification to the final rule on Professional Conduct for Practitioners-Rules and Procedures, and Representation and Appearances, which became effective on January 20, 2009. 73 FR 76914 (December 18, 2008).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are implementing conforming amendments to their respective regulations to comply with the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA).  The CNRA extends the immigration laws of the United States to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).  This rule amends the regulations governing asylum and credible fear of persecution determinations; references to the geographical United States and its territories and possessions; alien classifications authorized for employment; documentation acceptable for Employment Eligibility Verification; employment of unauthorized aliens; and adjustment of status of immediate relatives admitted under the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program.  Additionally, this rule makes a technical change to correct a citation error in the regulations governing the Visa Waiver Program and the regulations governing asylum and withholding of removal.  The purpose of this rule is to ensure that the regulations apply to persons and entities arriving in or physically present in the CNMI to the extent authorized by the CNRA.]]></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 Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act of 2009</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is issuing this interpretive rule/rule of agency practice and procedure with request for comments regarding the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) plans to implement certain provisions of the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act of 2009 (PACT Act), enacted March 31, 2010, relating to the collection of state cigarette and smokeless tobacco taxes.  This interpretive rule describes the agencies interpretation of, and plans for implementing the new law which, among other things: (1) Requires persons who sell, transfer, or ship cigarettes or smokeless tobacco in interstate commerce to register with the Attorney General and state tobacco tax administrators; (2) expands monthly reporting requirements for delivery sellers to include email and website addresses; (3) requires delivery sellers selling in interstate commerce to comply with all state, local, tribal, and other laws generally applicable to sales of cigarettes or smokeless tobacco as if such sales occurred entirely within the specific State; (4) requires delivery sellers to include on bills of lading a clear and conspicuous statement that federal law requires the payment of all applicable excise and sales taxes and compliance with applicable licensing and tax-stamping obligations; (5) requires delivery sellers to comply with specified weight and age verification requirements; (6) requires delivery sellers to maintain for 4 years records of all delivery sales and make them accessible to the Attorney General and to state, local, and Indian tribe tax authorities; (7) requires the Attorney General to compile a list of noncompliant delivery sellers and to distribute such list to States and common carriers including the United States Postal Service, and to make information on enforcement actions publicly available (including on the Internet) and to report to congress on such actions; (8) requires the Attorney General to give noncompliant delivery sellers an opportunity to respond before placing them on the noncompliant list; (9) makes it a crime for common carriers and delivery services to complete delivery to consumers if the delivery seller's name is on the noncompliant list; (10) requires common carriers to maintain for 5 years records of deliveries interrupted because the seller's name is on the noncompliant list; (11) increases the criminal penalty from 6 months to 3 years for violations, and civil penalties for violations to the greater of $5,000 - $10,000 or two percent of the gross sales of cigarettes or smokeless tobacco for the year before the violation; (12) establishes a PACT Act Anti-Trafficking Fund into which 50 percent of criminal and civil penalties collected in enforcing the PACT Act will be deposited and available to the Attorney General to enforce the PACT Act and other laws relating to contraband tobacco products; and (13) amends the Contraband Cigarette Trafficking Act to authorize ATF to enter the business premises of delivery sellers to inspect records and tobacco products stored there, and authorizes federal district courts to compel such inspections and impose a civil penalty for failure to comply with inspections.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

The amendments also provide for sales between Federal firearms licensees of curio and relic firearms away from their licensed premises.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Safe Explosives Act--Delivery of Explosive Materials by Common or Contract Carrier</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to remove the requirement that common or contract carriers taking possession of explosive materials for delivery to a licensee or permittee complete ATF Form 5400.8 (Explosives Delivery Record) prior to taking possession of explosive materials, regardless of whether they are hired by the distributor or by the distributee.  ATF believes that this requirement is unduly burdensome and unnecessary.  Furthermore, ATF does not believe that the elimination of this form will result in diversion of explosive materials to criminal or terrorist use.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1991, the Department of Justice published a regulation to implement title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). That regulation includes the requirement that public safety answering points (PSAPs) provide direct access to persons with disabilities who use analog telecommunication devices for the deaf (TTYs).  28 CFR 35.162.  On July 26, 2010, the Department published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to address in what manner PSAPs should be required to make changes in communication technology to reflect developments that have occurred since the publication of the 1991 regulation.  Many individuals with disabilities now use the Internet and wireless text devices as their primary modes of telecommunications.  At the same time, PSAPs are considering and planning to shift from analog telecommunications technology to new Internet-Protocol (IP)-enabled Next Generation 9-1-1 services (NG 9-1-1) that will provide voice and data (such as text, pictures, and video) capabilities.  This ANPRM seeks information on possible revisions to the Departments regulation to ensure direct access to NG 9-1-1 services for individuals with disabilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Movie Captioning and Video Description</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 26, 1991, the Department of Justice published a final rule implementing title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).  Title III prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the activities of places of public accommodation (private entities whose operations affect commerce and that fall into one of twelve categories listed in the ADA, such as restaurants, movie theaters, schools, day care facilities, recreational facilities, and doctors offices) and requires newly constructed or altered places of public accommodationas well as commercial facilities (privately owned, nonresidential facilities such as factories, warehouses, or office buildings)to comply with the ADA Standards (42 U.S.C. 1218189).  Title III makes it unlawful for places of public accommodation, such as movie theaters, to discriminate against an individual in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of a place of public accommodation (42 U.S.C. 12182[a]).  Moreover, title III prohibits places of public accommodation from affording an unequal or lesser service to individuals or classes of individuals with disabilities than is offered to other individuals (42 U.S.C. 12182(b)(1)(A)(ii)).  Title III requires places of public accommodation to take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, segregated or otherwise treated differently because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, unless the entity can demonstrate that taking such steps would fundamentally alter the nature of the good, service, facility, privilege, advantage, or accommodation being offered or would result in an undue burden, (42 U.S.C. 12182(b)(2)(A)(iii)).
  
The statute defines auxiliary aids to include qualified interpreters or other effective methods of making aurally delivered materials available to individuals with hearing impairments and taped texts, or other effective methods of making visually delivered materials available to individuals with visual impairments, (42 U.S.C. 12103(1)(A)-(B)). The Departments title III regulation specifically lists open and closed captioning and audio recordings and other effective methods of making aurally and visually delivered materials available to individuals with hearing and visual impairments as examples of auxiliary aids and services that should be provided by places of public accommodations, 28 CFR 36.303(b)(1)-(2), unless the public accommodation can demonstrate that providing such aids and services would fundamentally alter the nature of the good or service being offered or would result in an undue burden (28 CFR 36.303(a)).
  
Because, in pertinent part, the legislative history of title III stated that [o]pen-captioning of feature films playing in movie theaters, is not required by this legislation, H.R. Rep. No. 101-485 (II), at 108 (1990), S. Rep. No. 101-116 at 64 (1989), the Department stated in its 1991 rule that [m]ovie theaters are not required to present open-captioned films, 56 FR 35544, 35567 (July 26, 1991).  The Department was silent regarding closed captioning and video description in movie theaters.  The Department noted, however, that other public accommodations that impart verbal information through soundtracks on films, video tapes, or slide shows are required to make such information accessible to persons who are deaf or hard of hearing.  Captioning is one means to make the information accessible to individuals with disabilities. 

Since 1991, there have been many technological advances in the area of closed captioning and video description for first-run movies.  In the legislative history of the ADA, the House Committee stated that technological advances can be expected to further enhance options for making meaningful and effective opportunities available to individuals with disabilities and that [s]uch advances may require public accommodations to provide auxiliary aids and services in the future which today would not be required because they would be held to impose undue burdens on such entities.  H.R. Rep. No. 101-485 (II), at 108.
    
On June 17, 2008, the Department issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to adopt the revised ADA Standards and, in pertinent part, revise the title III regulation. 73 FR 34508.  In that NPRM, the Department stated that it was considering options under which it might require that movie theater owners or operators exhibit movies that are captioned for patrons who are deaf or hard of hearing and movies that provide video (narrative) description for patrons who are blind or have low vision.  The Department received numerous comments urging the Department to issue captioning and video description regulations under the ADA.  Rather than using these comments to formulate a final rule, however, the Department decided to issue a supplemental ANPRM for three main reasons.  First, the Department wished to obtain more information regarding several issues raised by commenters that were not contemplated at the time the 2008 NPRM was published.  Second, the Department sought public comment on several technical questions that arose from the research the Department undertook to address some of the issues raised by commenters to the original NPRM.  Finally, in the two years that have passed since issuance of the 2008 NPRM, the Department was aware that movie theater owners and operators, particularly major movie theater owners and operators, either have entered into, or had plans to enter into, agreements to convert to digital cinema.  However, during this same time period, the United States economy, and the profitability of many public accommodations, experienced significant setbacks.  The Department wished to learn more about the status of digital conversion, concrete projections regarding if and when movie theater owners and operators, both large and small, expected to exhibit movies using digital cinema, when such movie theater owners and operators expected to implement digital cinema, by percentages, in their theaters, and any relevant protocols, standards, and equipment that have been developed regarding captioning and video description for digital cinema.  In addition, the Department sought information regarding whether, in the last two years, other technologies or areas of interest (e.g., 3D) have developed or are in the process of development that either would replace or augment digital cinema or make any regulatory requirements for captioning and video description more difficult or expensive to implement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by State and Local Governments and Places of Public Accommodation; Equipment and Furniture</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title II of the ADA applies to services, programs, or activities of public entities within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. 12133(1)(A).  The program accessibility requirement of Title II mandates public entities to operate each service, program, or activity so that, when viewed in its entirety, the service, program, or activity is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, subject to a defense of fundamental alteration or undue burden (28 CFR 35.150[a]).  Section 35.150(b) specifies that such entities may meet their obligation to make each program accessible to individuals with disabilities through the redesign of equipment.  Title II entities also must ensure that communications with individuals with disabilities are as effective as communications with others and provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services where necessary to ensure that individuals with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from a service, program, or activity (28 CFR 35.160).  

Title III of the ADA applies to persons who own, lease or lease to, or operate places of public accommodation (42 U.S.C. 12182[a]). Public accommodations discriminate against individuals with disabilities when they enact discriminatory policies or practices, or fail to remove barriers or make requested reasonable modifications in order to accommodate an individuals disability, unless barrier removal is not readily achievable or a modification would fundamentally alter the nature of the business (see 28 CFR 36.304 [barrier removal] and 36.302[a][reasonable modification]).  Public accommodations also must ensure that no individuals with disabilities are excluded, denied services, segregated or otherwise treated differently from other individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, unless taking such steps would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations being offered or result in an undue burden (28 CFR 36.303[a]).  Some types of equipment and furniture are covered specifically by the Departments adoption of the 1991 ADAAG as the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.  Equipment and furniture may also be covered by other regulatory provisions including reasonable modifications, 28 CFR 36.302; auxiliary aids, 28 CFR 36.303; and barrier removal, 28 CFR 36.304.

While some types of fixed equipment and furniture are explicitly covered by the 1991 Standards, there are no specific provisions in the regulations governing the accessibility of equipment and furniture that are not fixed.  See 28 CFR pt. 36, app. A. (Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) and Fixed or Built-in Seating or Tables).  To the extent that the ADA standards apply requirements for fixed equipment and furniture, the Department will look to those standards for guidance on accessibility standards for equipment and furniture that are not fixed.  Accessible equipment and furniture is often critical to an entitys ability to provide a person with a disability equal access to its services.  Changes in technology have resulted in the development and improved availability of accessible equipment and furniture that benefit individuals with disabilities.  Consequently, it is easier now to specify appropriate accessibility standards for such equipment and furniture, as the Access Board has done for several types of fixed equipment and furniture, including ATMs, washing machines, dryers, tables, benches, and vending machines.  See sections 903, 902, 707, 611, and 228 of the ADA/ABA Accessibility Guidelines.]]></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 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.  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.  The proposed amendments explicitly incorporate the CRRA's definitions of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI coordination regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 (1) 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]); (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 (3) 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>Implementation of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008</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 (Sep. 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 (1) 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]); (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 (3) 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 be 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>

        <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>Implementation of the Provisions of the Voting Rights Act Regarding Language Minority Groups</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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The YouthBuild Transfer Act of 2006, Public Law 109-281, enacted on September 22, 2006, transfers oversight and administration of the YouthBuild program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).  The YouthBuild program targets are high school dropouts, youth offenders, youth aging out of foster care, and other at-risk youth populations. The program model balances classroom learning, geared toward a high school diploma or GED, and construction skills training, geared toward a career placement for youth.  DOL intends to develop regulations in response to the legislation and to guide the program implementation and management. The program focuses on youth who have a high school diploma or GED but are basic skills deficient.]]></ABSTRACT>

More specifically, the law amends the criteria for certification of worker groups as eligible to apply for benefits and services and substantially expands those benefits and services.  It also requires reports on the program's effectiveness.  The Act amends section 248 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2320), which continues to require that the Secretary issue regulations to carry out these provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations require employers to apply for a temporary labor certification from the Department of Labor before H-2B visas may be approved. DOL certifies that there are not sufficient U.S. worker(s) who are capable of performing the temporary services or labor at the time of an application for a visa, and that the employment of the H-2B workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.  This regulation proposes to re-engineer the H-2B program in order to enhance transparency and strengthen program integrity and protections of both U.S. workers and H-2B workers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Equal Employment Opportunity in Apprenticeship and Training, Amendment of Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Revisions to the equal opportunity regulatory framework for the National Apprenticeship Act are a critical element in the Department's vision to promote and expand Registered Apprenticeship opportunities in the 21st century while continuing to safeguard the welfare and safety of apprentices.  In October 2008, the Agency issued a Final Rule updating regulations for Apprenticeship Programs and Labor Standards for Registration.  These regulations, codified at title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 29, had not been updated since 1977.  The companion regulations, 29 CFR part 30, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) in Apprenticeship and Training, have not been amended since 1978.

The Agency now proposes to update 29 CFR part 30 to ensure that the National Registered Apprenticeship System is consistent and in alignment with EEO law, as it has developed since 1978, and recent revisions to title 29 CFR part 29.  This second phase of regulatory updates will ensure that Registered Apprenticeship is positioned to continue to provide economic opportunity for millions of Americans while keeping pace with these new requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Wage Methodology for the Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment H-2B program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, requires the Department of Homeland Security, prior to the approval of H-2B visa petitions consult with other agencies.  DHS' regulation at 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6) requires that an intending employer first apply for a temporary labor certification from the Department of Labor.  Specifically, DOL certifies that there is not sufficient U.S. worker(s) able, available, willing and qualified at the time of an application for a visa, and that the employment of the alien will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.  In order to ensure that there is no adverse effect, the Department requires employers to pay the prevailing wage to H-2B workers and U.S. workers hired in response to the required recruitment.  The prevailing wage calculation methodology under the current H-2B regulation became the subject of litigation.  On August 30, 2010, the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Comité de Apoyo a los Trabajadores Agricolas (CATA) v. Hilda Solis, et al., Civil No. 2:09-cv-240-LP, 2010 WL 3431761 (E.D. Pa.), ordered the Department to promulgate new rules concerning the calculation of the prevailing wage rate in the H-2B program that are in compliance with the Administrative Procedure Act no later than 120 days from the date of this order.  The Department is proposing to establish that the prevailing wage be the highest of the following: wages established under an agreed-upon collective bargaining agreement; a wage rate established under the Davis Bacon Act or Service Contract Act for that occupation in the area of intended employment; and the arithmetic mean wage rate established by the Occupational Employment Statistics survey for that occupation in the area of intended employment.]]></ABSTRACT>

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(d)(4) of title V requires that the Agency establish and implement new measures of performance by July 1, 2007.  Section 513(b)(3) required that the Secretary issue definitions of indicators of performance through regulations after consultation with stakeholders.  Therefore, the Interim Final Rule (IFR) implemented changes to the SCSEP program performance accountability regulations found at 20 CFR 641 in subpart G.  Changes to other subparts of part 641 were implemented through a separate Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, published Aug. 14, 2008 (73 FR 47770).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Older Americans Act Amendments of 2006, Public Law 109-365, enacted on October 17, 2006, contain provisions amending title V of that Act, which authorizes the Senior Community Service Employment program (SCSEP).  The Amendments, effective July 1, 2007, made substantial changes to the SCSEP provisions in the Older Americans Act, including new requirements relating to performance accountability, income eligibility for program participation, competition of national grants, and services to participants.

This portion of the rulemaking consists of 8 subparts: subpart A--Purpose and Definitions; subpart B--Coordination with the Workforce Investment Act; subpart C--the State Plan; subpart D--Grant Application and Responsibility Review Requirements for State and National Grants; subpart E--Services to Participants; subpart F--Pilots, Demonstration, and Evaluation Projects, subpart H--Administrative Requirements; and subpart I--Grievance Procedures and Appeals Process.  The performance accountability requirements (subpart G) were implemented through a separate Interim Final Rule (IFR).]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the Department's qualified default investment alternative regulation (29 CFR 2550.404c-5), which provides relief from certain fiduciary responsibilities for fiduciaries of participant-directed individual account plans who, in the absence of directions from a participant, invest the participant's account in a qualified default investment alternative.  This amendment will provide more specificity to fiduciaries as to the investment information that must be disclosed in the required notice to participants and beneficiaries.  This amendment also will enhance the information that must be disclosed concerning target date, or similar age-based, qualified default investment alternatives.

The Department recently published in the Federal Register, at § 2550.404a-5 (75 FR 64910, October 20, 2010), a final regulation that requires the disclosure of certain plan and investment-related information, including fee and expense information, to participants and beneficiaries in participant-directed individual account plans (the participant-level disclosure regulation).  The proposed rulemaking also will amend the participant-level disclosure regulation to require the disclosure of the same information concerning target date or similar investments to all participants and beneficiaries in participant-directed individual account plans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 503 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. section 1133, provides that, in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Labor, each employee benefit plan must provide "adequate notice in writing to any participant or beneficiary whose claim for benefits under the plan has been denied." The notice must set forth the specific reasons for the denial and must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant. Each plan must also afford " a reasonable opportunity" for any participant or beneficiary whose claim has been denied to obtain "full and fair review" of the denial by the "appropriate named fiduciary of the plan." The Department has issued a regulation pursuant to the above authority that establishes the minimum requirements for benefit claims procedures of employee benefit plans covered by title 1 of ERISA. See 29 CFR section 2560.503-1. This rulemaking is intended to strengthen, improve, and update the current rules governing the internal claims and appeals process.]]></ABSTRACT>

L. 111-148, 124 Stat. 780), authorizes the Secretary of Labor to issue a cease and desist order if it appears that a multiple employer welfare arrangement (MEWA) is fraudulent, creates an immediate danger to public safety or welfare, or can be reasonably expected to cause significant, imminent, and irreparable public injury.  This section also authorizes the Secretary to issue a summary seizure order if it appears that a MEWA is in a financially hazardous condition.

        <RULE_TITLE>Statutory Exemption for Provision of Investment Advice </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 601 of the Pension Protection Act (Pub. L. 109-280) amended ERISA by adding new section 408(b)(14) and 408(g).  Section 408(b)(14) is a prohibited transaction exemption that permits the provision of investment advice to participants or beneficiaries of certain individual account plans if the investment advice is provided under an "eligible investment advice arrangement," as defined in section 408(g). In order to qualify as an eligible investment advice arrangement, the arrangement must either provide that any fees received by the adviser do not vary depending on the basis of any investment options selected, or use a computer model under an investment advice program that meets the criteria set forth in section 408(g) in connection with the provision of investment advice.  Further, with respect to both types of advice arrangements, the investment adviser must disclose to advice recipients all fees that the adviser or any affiliate is to receive in connection with the advice.  Section 408(g) requires that the computer model which serves as the basis for an eligible investment advice arrangement be certified by an "eligible investment expert" in accordance with rules prescribed by the Secretary of Labor.  Section 408(g) also directs the Secretary of Labor to issue a model form for the required disclosure of fees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibited Transaction Exemption Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend and supersede the current rule of procedure that governs the filing and processing of applications for administrative exemptions from the prohibited transaction provisions of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and the Federal Employees Retirement System Act of 1986.  This amendment will promote transparency and facilitate the efficient consideration of exemption applications by providing plan participants with a clearer understanding of the exemption under consideration, by clarifying the types of information and documentation generally required for a complete filing, and by affording expanded opportunities for the electronic submission of information and comments relating to an exemption application.  In August 2010, an NPRM was published for this item under RIN 1210-AA98 (75 FR 53172).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the Affordable Care Act) amended title I of ERISA, by adding a new section 715 which encompasses various health reform provisions of the Public Health Service Act.  These regulations provide guidance on the rules relating to internal and external appeals processes under the Affordable Care Act.  

As mentioned in previous requests, RIN 1210-AB41 was split into additional RINs due to the breadth of issues covered and this is the fifth request in a series relating to the Affordable Care Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Abandoned Plan Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 21, 2001, the Department published a package of regulations, collectively entitled Termination of Abandoned Individual Account Plans, which facilitate the termination of, and distribution of benefits from, individual account pension plans that have been abandoned by their sponsoring employers.  See 71 FR 20820.  This rulemaking will examine whether, and how, to amend those regulations by expanding the scope of individuals entitled to be a qualified termination administrator (QTA).  Under the Termination of Abandoned Individual Account Plans regulations, only a QTA is authorized to determine whether an individual account plan is abandoned and to carry out related activities necessary to the termination and winding up of the plans affairs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of &quot;Welfare Plan&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Department of Labor regulation 29 CFR 2510.3-1 clarifies the definition of the terms "employee welfare benefit plan" and "welfare plan" for purposes of title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) by identifying certain practices, which do not constitute employee welfare benefit plans.  This rulemaking would amend that regulation to clarify the circumstances under which health care arrangements established or maintained by State or local governments for the benefit of nongovernmental employees do not constitute an employee welfare benefit plan for purposes of section 3(1) of ERISA and 29 CFR 2510.3-1.

A draft proposed regulation was submitted to OMB for review before the enactment of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act.  The Department decided to review whether and to what extent further regulation in this area is necessary or appropriate in light of this comprehensive health care reform legislation.  The Department requested that OMB return the NPRM to the Department for further review and consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 United Steel Workers (formerly 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.  OSHA is currently conducting a scientific peer review of its draft risk assessment, which is scheduled to be completed in November 2010.  Additionally, an economic peer review is scheduled to be completed in May 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Exposure to Food Flavorings Containing Diacetyl and Diacetyl Substitutes</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.  The Agency subsequently initiated review of the draft proposed standard in accordance with the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA).  The SBREFA Panel Report was completed on July 2, 2009.  

The occurrence of severe lung disease among workers in workplaces where diacetyl is manufactured and used has led some manufacturers to reduce or eliminate the amount of diacetyl in some kinds of flavorings, foods, and beverages.  They have begun to use substitutes such as 2,3-pentanedione.  These substitutes, some of which are structurally similar to diacetyl, have not been well-studied and there is growing concern that they also pose health risks for workers.  Research on 2,3-pentanedione conducted by NIOSH and NIEHS suggests that, in rats, 2,3-pentanedione causes airway damage similar to that produced by diacetyl.

NIOSH is currently developing a criteria document on occupational exposure to diacetyl.  The criteria document will also address exposure to 2,3-pentanedione.  It will include an assessment of the effects of exposure as well as quantitative risk assessment.  OSHA intends to rely on these portions of the criteria document for the health effects analysis and quantitative risk assessment for the Agency's diacetyl rulemaking.  NIOSH will initiate public peer review of the criteria document in April, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Infectious Diseases</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Employees in health care and other high-risk environments face long-standing infectious diseases hazards such as tuberculosis (TB), varicella disease (chickenpox, shingles), and measles (rubeola), as well as new and emerging infectious disease threats, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and pandemic influenza.  Health care workers and workers in related occupations or who are exposed in other high-risk environments are at increased risk of contracting TB, SARS, MRSA, and other infectious diseases that can be transmitted through a variety of exposure routes.  OSHA is concerned about the ability of employees to continue to provide health care and other critical services without unreasonably jeopardizing their health.

OSHA is considering the need for a standard to ensure that employers establish a comprehensive infection control program and control measures to protect employees from infectious disease exposures to pathogens that can cause significant disease.  Workplaces where such control measures might be necessary include: health care, emergency response, correctional facilities, homeless shelters, drug treatment programs, and other occupational settings where employees can be at increased risk of exposure to potentially infectious people.  A standard could also apply to laboratories which handle materials that may be a source of pathogens, and to pathologists, coroners offices, medical examiners, and mortuaries.

OSHA published an RFI on May 6, 2010, the comment period closed on August 4, 2010.  OSHA is currently analyzing the comments submitted by stakeholders.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In 2007, the healthcare and social assistance sector as a whole had 16.5 million employees.  Healthcare workplaces can range from small private practices of physicians to hospitals that employ thousands of workers.  In addition, healthcare is increasingly being provided in other settings such as nursing homes, free-standing surgical and outpatient centers, emergency care clinics, patients homes, and prehospitalization emergency care settings.  The Agency is particularly concerned by studies that indicate that transmission of infectious diseases to both patients and healthcare workers may be occurring as a result of incomplete adherence to recognized, but voluntary, infection control measures.  Another concern is the movement of healthcare delivery from the traditional hospital setting, with its greater infrastructure and resources to effectively implement infection control measures, into more diverse and smaller workplace setting with less infrastructure and fewer resources, but with an expanding worker population.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Injury and Illness Prevention Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is developing a rule requiring employers to implement an Injury and Illness Prevention Program.  It involves planning, implementing, evaluating, and improving processes and activities that protect employee safety and health.  OSHA has substantial data on reductions in injuries and illnesses from employers who have implemented similar effective processes.  The Agency currently has voluntary Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines (54 FR 3904-3916), published in 1989.  An injury and illness prevention rule would build on these guidelines as well as lessons learned from successful approaches and best practices under OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program and similar industry and international initiatives such as American National Standards Institute/American Industrial Hygiene Association Z10 and Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series 18001. Twelve States have similar rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

There are also many workplace illnesses caused by exposure to common chemical, physical, and biological agents.  OSHA believes that an injury and illness prevention program is a universal intervention that can be used in a wide spectrum of workplaces to dramatically reduce the number and severity of workplace injuries.  Such programs have been shown to be effective in many workplaces in the United States and internationally.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The alternatives to this rulemaking would be to issue guidance, recognition programs, or allow for the states to develop individual regulations.  OSHA has used voluntary approaches to address the need, including publishing Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines in 1989.  In addition, OSHA has two recognition programs, the Voluntary Protection Program (known as VPP), and the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (known as SHARP).  These programs recognize workplaces with effective safety and health programs.  Several States have issued regulations that require employers to establish effective safety and health programs.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reinforcing and Post-Tensioned Steel Construction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Current rules regarding reinforcing steel and post-tensioning activities do not adequately address worker hazards in work related to post-tensioning and reinforcing steel.  Both are techniques for reinforcing concrete  and are generally used in commercial and industrial construction.  OSHA currently has few rules which address the steel reinforcing and post-tensioning fields directly. The few rules that do exist are found in Subpart Q  Concrete and Masonry Construction of 29 CFR 1926.

The use of reinforced steel and post-tensioned poured in place concrete in commercial and industrial construction is expected to rise.  Without adequate standards, the rate of accidents will likely rise as well.   Currently, workers performing steel reinforcing suffer injuries caused by unsafe material handling, structural collapse, and impalement by protruding reinforcing steel dowels, among others.  Employees involved in post-tensioning activities are at risk for accidents caused by the misuse of post-tensioning equipment and improper training.

OSHA IMIS data shows that more than 100 workers have died while performing work on or near post-tensioning operations or reinforcing steel over the past 10 years and preliminary research indicates that several hundred more workers are injured each year.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is seeking public comment on Post-tensioning and Reinforcing Steel from professionals who work in the post-tensioning and reinforcing steel field and will consider rulemaking to prevent worker deaths and injuries related to these operations.  By requesting  information from professionals who work in the reinforcing steel and post-tensioning fields and other members of the public, OSHA hopes to determine whether a new rule is necessary, and, if so, what hazards need to be addressed.]]></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 proposed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) in 1968 (PEL=10mg/cubic meter/(% silica + 2), as respirable dust). The current PEL for construction and shipyards (derived from ACGIH's 1970 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 has published recommended standards 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.  OSHA is currently developing a NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[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. In 2005, the most recent year for which data is available, silicosis was identified on 161 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 has designated crystalline silica as carcinogenic to humans, and the National Toxicology Program has concluded that respirable crystalline silica is 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 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 shipyard workers, and to address some specific issues that will need to be resolved to propose a comprehensive standard.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <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. Slips, trips, and falls are among the leading causes of work-related injuries and fatalities. 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 May 2, 2003, because a number of issues were raised in the NPRM record. 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 published a second NPRM on May 24, 2010, which was modified to reflect current information as well as reassess the impact.  Hearings will be held in January 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Combustible Dust</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA has commenced rulemaking to develop a combustible dust standard for general industry.  The U.S. Chemical Safety 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 another 718.  Based on these findings, the CSB recommended the Agency pursue a rulemaking on this issue.  OSHA has previously addressed aspects of this risk.  For example, on July 31, 2005, OSHA published the Safety and Health Information Bulletin, "Combustible Dust in Industry: Preventing and Mitigating the Effects of Fire and Explosions." Additionally, OSHA implemented a Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program (NEP) March 11, 2008.  However, the Agency does not have a comprehensive standard that addresses combustible dust  hazards.  

OSHA will use the information gathered from the NEP to assist in the development of this rule.  OSHA published an ANPRM October 21, 2009.  Additionally, stakeholder meetings were held in Washington, DC on December 14, 2009, in Atlanta, GA on February 17, 2010, and in Chicago, IL on April 21, 2010. A webchat for combustible dust was also held on June 28, 2010.  The next step in this rulemaking will be to initiate SBREFA in April 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements--NAICS Update and Reporting Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal involves changes to two aspects of the OSHA recordkeeping and reporting requirements. First, OSHA is proposing to update appendix A to subpart B of part 1904. This appendix contains a list of industries that are partially exempt from the requirements to maintain a log of occupational injuries and illnesses, generally due to their relatively low rates of occupational injury and illness. The current list of industries is based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. In 1997, an newer system, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), was introduced to classify establishments by industry. The proposed rule would update appendix A by replacing it with a list of industries based on the NAICS and based on more recent occupational injury and illness rates. Second, OSHA is proposing to revise the reporting requirements regarding the obligations of employers to report to OSHA the occurrence of fatalities and certain injuries. The existing regulations require employers to report to OSHA within 8 hours any work-related incident resulting in the death of an employee or the in-patient hospitalization of three or more employees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In January 1993, OSHA issued a general industry rule to protect employees who enter confined spaces (29 CFR 1910.146). This standard does not apply to the construction industry because of differences in the nature of the worksite in the construction industry. In discussions with the United Steel Workers of America on a settlement agreement for the general industry standard, OSHA agreed to issue a proposed rule to extend confined-space protection to construction workers appropriate to their work environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[During the 1980s, OSHA initiated a project to update and consolidate the various OSHA shipyard standards that were applied in the shipbuilding, ship repair, and shipbreaking industries. The operations addressed in this rulemaking relate to general working conditions such as housekeeping, illumination, sanitation, first aid, and lockout/tagout. An estimated 100,000 workers are potentially exposed to these hazards each year. The proposed rule was published December 20, 2007, and public hearings were held in 2008.  OSHA anticipates publishing a final rule in January 2011.]]></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 from March 6 through March 14 in 2006. OSHA reopened the record to gather additional information on minimum approach distances for specific ranges of voltages.  The record was reopened a second time to allow more time for comment and to gather information on minimum approach distances for all voltages and on the newly revised Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers consensus standard.  Additionally, a public hearing was held on October 28, 2009. The posthearing comment period ended in February 2010.  OSHA anticipates publishing a final rule in May 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards Improvement Project (SIP III)</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.  OSHA published a NPRM on July 2, 2010.  The comment period closed on September 30, 2010.  The next action for this rulemaking is to publish the final rule.]]></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.]]></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.  The comprehensibility of hazard information and worker safety 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.  The increase in comprehensibility and consistency will reduce confusion and thus improve worker safety and health.  In addition, the 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. Several nations, including the European Union, have adopted the GHS with an 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 in compliance with the GHS.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <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 (ERA), 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 six EPA statutes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories Fee Schedule--Revised Approach</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is proposing to adjust the methodology it uses to establish 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.  The proposed schedule will require prepayment of all the fees, which complies with the circular and changes the timing of the payment of many of the fees. 

OSHA is currently approving the final rule.]]></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 Railroad Safety </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is promulgating 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 give OSHA responsibility for administering the whistleblower protection provision of FRSA, which 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>Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements--Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) Column</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a final rule on Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements (66 FR 5916, Jan. 19, 2001), that became effective January 1, 2002.  After a regulatory review, the Agency determined that two provisions of the final rule would be delayed and reconsidered; the recording of occupational hearing loss (1904.10) and recording work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) (1904.12) (66 FR 35113, Jul. 3, 2001).  Subsequently, OSHA issued a final 1904.10 regulation setting recording criteria for occupational hearing loss (67 FR 44037, Jul. 1, 2002).  Following notice and comment, OSHA published another final rule to remove the WMSD column  from the regulation and the accompanying definition used to check the column on the OSHA 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illness (68 FR 38601, Jun. 30, 2003). 

OSHA has reconsidered the need for a 300 Log column for WMSD, and for defining "musculoskeletal disorders" for checking the column.  The Agency believes that having aggregate data on WMSDs may help employers and workers track these injuries at individual workplaces, and that the Nations occupational injury and illness information may benefit from improved statistics on WMSD.  Improved WMSD information might also assist the Agency in its day-to-day activities and overall safety and health policymaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is promulgating procedures for the handling and investigation of retaliation complaints pursuant to Section 219 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008.  This section established a new whistleblower protection statute to be administered by OSHA that provides protection from retaliation to employees in the consumer product industry, including employees of manufacturers, importers, private labelers, distributors and retailers, who report reasonably believed violations of the Consumer Product Safety Act or any other Act enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, or any order, rule, regulation, standard, or ban under those Acts.  Pursuant to the statute, the procedures will include remedies and legal burdens of proof provisions. Additionally, the Act includes a "kick-out" provision that allows the complainant to file the complaint in District Court if the Secretary has not issued a final determination within 210 days, or within 90 days after receiving a written determination.  Promulgation of a regulation is necessary to govern whistleblower investigations conducted under the new statute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for the Handling of Retaliation Complaints Under Section 806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002, As Amended</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is proposing to amend 29 CFR 1980, the procedures applicable to the handling and investigation of whistleblower complaints under the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act, title VIII of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 18 U.S.C. 1514A (SOX), to implement statutory changes enacted by Congress under sections 922 and 929A of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DFA) of 2010, and to provide other procedural updates as needed.  SOX provides protection for employees who report alleged violations of the Federal mail, wire, bank or securities fraud statutes, or the Securities Exchange Act, or any other Federal law relating to fraud against shareholders.  Under the DFA, the amendments to SOX extend the statutory filing period from 90 to 180 days, provide parties with a right to a jury trial, extend coverage to nationally recognized statistical rating organizations,  and clarify coverage of corporate subsidiaries.  Promulgation of these changes to the regulation is necessary to govern whistleblower investigations conducted under SOX.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is promulgating procedures for the handling and investigation of retaliation complaints pursuant to section 1558 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the Affordable Care Act or ACA), which added section 18C to the Fair Labor Standards Act.  This section established a new whistleblower protection statute to be administered by OSHA that provides protection from retaliation to employees who engage in protected activities under the ACA.  Pursuant to the statute, the procedures will follow those enacted under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, 15 U.S.C. 2087(b), including remedies and legal burdens of proof provisions.  Promulgation of a regulation is necessary to govern whistleblower investigations conducted under the new statute.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cranes and Derricks in Construction</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.

A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was published on October 9, 2008.  The comment period for the NPRM was extended and closed January 22, 2009.  A public hearing was held on March 20, 2009.  The final rule was posted and made public on  July 28, 2010, and published in the Federal Register on August 9, 2010.]]></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 10 mg/m3 divided by the percentage of quartz where the quartz percent is greater than 5 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 (100 ug) of silica. The Secretary of Labor's Advisory Committee on the Elimination of Pneumoconiosis Among Coal Mine Workers made several recommendations related to reducing exposure to silica.  NIOSH recommends a 50 ug/m3 exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica.  MSHA will publish a proposed rule to address miners' exposure to respirable crystalline silica.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lowering Miners&apos; Exposure to Coal Mine Dust, Including Continuous Personal Dust Monitors</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 (CWP) or (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 a number of actions to reduce miners' exposure to respirable coal mine dust.  This proposed rule is an important element in MSHA's Comprehensive Black Lung Reduction Strategy (Strategy) to "End Black Lung Now" and combines the following rulemaking actions:  (1) "Occupational Exposure to Coal Mine Dust (Lowering Exposure)," RIN 1219-AB64; (2) "Verification of Underground Coal Mine Operators' Dust Control Plans and Compliance Sampling for Respirable Dust," RIN 1219-AB14; (3) "Determination of Concentration of Respirable Coal Mine Dust," RIN 1219-AB18; and (4) "Respirable Coal Mine Dust:  Continuous Personal Dust Monitor (CPDM)," RIN 1219-AB48.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Mining is one of the most hazardous industries in this country.  Yet year after year, many mines experience low injury and illness rates and low violation rates.  For these mine operators, preventing harm to their miners is more than compliance with safety and health requirements; it reflects an embodiment of a culture of safety--from CEO to the miner to the contractor.  This culture of safety derives from a commitment to a systematic, effective, comprehensive management of safety and health at mines with full participation of all miners.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA will develop a proposed rule to revise the process for proposing civil penalties.  The assessment of civil penalties is a key component in MSHA's strategy to enforce safety and health standards.  The Congress intended that the imposition of civil penalties would induce mine operators to be proactive in their approach to mine safety and health, and take necessary action to prevent safety and health hazards before they occur.  MSHA believes that the procedures for assessing civil penalties can be revised to improve the efficiency of the Agency's efforts and to facilitate the resolution of enforcement issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA is preparing a proposed rule to revise the Agency's existing regulation for pattern of violations contained in 30 CFR part 104.  MSHA has determined that the existing pattern criteria and procedures do not reflect the statutory intent for section 104(e) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) that operators manage health and safety conditions at mines so that the root causes of significant and substantial (S&S) violations are addressed before they become a hazard to the health and safety of miners. The legislative history of the Mine Act explains that Congress intended the pattern of violations tool be used for operators who have demonstrated a disregard for the health and safety of miners. The proposal would reflect statutory intent, simplify the pattern of violations criteria, and improve consistency in applying the patterns of violations criteria.]]></ABSTRACT>

The goal of the pattern of violations proposed rule is to compel operators to manage health and safety conditions so that the root causes of S&S violations are found and fixed before they become a hazard to miners.  MSHA's existing regulation is not consistent with the language, purpose, and legislative history of the Mine Act and hinders the Agency's use of pattern of violations to identify chronic violators who thumb their noses at the law by a continuing cycle of citation and abatement.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Examination of Work Areas in Underground Coal Mines for Violations of Mandatory Health or Safety Standards </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the ever changing mine environment, it is critical that hazardous conditions be recognized and abated quickly.  Additionally, other conditions that could develop into a hazard if left uncorrected must also be eliminated.  Operator examinations for hazards and violations of mandatory health or safety standards are mandated in the Mine Act and are a critical component of an effective safety and health program for underground mines.  While this requirement was previously included in regulations, the 1992 final rule addressing ventilation in underground coal mines only included the requirement that the mine examiners look for hazardous conditions.  The 1992 rule omitted from the standard the text taken from the Mine Act requiring examinations for violations of mandatory safety or health standards.  The reinstitution of this practice of having examiners look for mandatory health or safety standards during MSHA inspections of underground mines. Therefore, MSHA will be revising existing standards for preshift, supplemental, on-shift, and weekly examinations to address violations of mandatory safety or health standards.  This will complement the proposed rule concerning Safety and Health Management Programs for Mines (1219-AB71).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Maintenance of Incombustible Content of Rock Dust in Underground Coal Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) issued an emergency temporary standard (ETS) under section 101(b) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 in response to the grave danger that miners in underground bituminous coal mines face when accumulations of coal dust are not made inert.  MSHA concluded from investigations of mine explosions and other reports that immediate action was necessary to protect miners.

Accumulations of coal dust can ignite, resulting in an explosion, or after an explosion, it can propagate, increasing the severity of the explosion.  The ETS requires mine operators to increase the incombustible content of combined coal dust, rock dust, and other dust to at least 80 percent in underground areas of bituminous mines.  The ETS further requires that the incombustible content of such combined dust be raised 0.4 percent for each 0.1 percent of methane present.  The ETS strengthens the protection for miners by reducing the potential for a coal mine explosion.]]></ABSTRACT>

MSHA has concluded, from investigations of accidents involving mobile equipment and other reports, that immediate action is necessary to protect miners.  To date, in 2010, there have been five fatalities resulting from crushing and pinning accidents.

Mobile equipment can pin, crush, or strike a miner working near the equipment.  Proximity detection technology can prevent these types of accidents.  The ETS would strengthen the protection for underground miners by reducing the potential of pinning, crushing or striking hazards associated with working close to mobile equipment. As a part of the Secretary's strategy for securing safe and healthy workplaces, the Mine Safety and Health Administration will undertake regulatory action related to reducing injuries and fatalities to workers in close proximity to moving equipment and vehicles.]]></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 part in phases. The first phase, Flame-Resistance Testing of Mining Materials, was completed with the final rule published on December 31, 2008 (73 FR 80580). The second phase will be Intrinsic Safety Requirements. This action will be published second because the MINER Act required underground coal mine operators to submit an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) that sets forth a means of providing post-accident communication and electronic tracking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Labor proposes to amend the regulations implementing the Family and Medical Leave Act to incorporate amendments made by the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2010 and the Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act.  When initiated, this regulatory action was intended to be review revisions to the regulations implementing the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2008 military family leave amendments and other revisions of the regulations implemented in January 2009.  Subsequent to the initiation of this action, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2010 and the Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act.  As a result of the Congressional action the scope of this rulemaking has changed to implement the statutory amendments.]]></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, Veterans' 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 (Dec. 9, 1999), 113 Stat. 1731, and Public Law 106-202 (May 18, 2000), 114 Stat. 308.]]></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 to implement the order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Claims for Compensation Under the Federal Employees&apos; Compensation Act </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[ESA's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) plans to issue new regulations to update its organizational description to reflect the reorganization that will transform OWCP into a stand-alone organization reporting directly to the Office of the Secretary of Labor.  OWCP administers four major disability compensation programs that provide wage replacement benefits, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation and other benefits (such as survivors' benefits) to certain workers who experience work-related injury or occupational disease.  

The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) provides workers' compensation benefits to Federal workers for employment-related injuries and occupational diseases as well as survivor benefits for a covered employees employment-related death.  OWCP plans to update its regulations governing administration of claims under the FECA.  The last comprehensive update of the FECA regulations was undertaken more than 10 years ago. Since that time a number of improvements have been made to OWCP's processing of claims.  The regulations will be revised to reflect those changes and to incorporate new procedures that will enhance OWCP's ability to administer FECA.  Changes to the regulations will facilitate the return to work of injured workers who are able to work by such measures as increasing the opportunity for vocational rehabilitation.  Revisions to the regulations will also enhance OWCP's ability to efficiently provide sufficient income and medical care for those who are unable to work.  The planned regulatory changes will better explain the increased automation of the medical billing process; reflect changes in procedure, such as FECA's centralized mail processing; and also codify changes in case law affecting FECA claims administration. OWCP also plans to modernize the provision of compensation for employees situated overseas who are neither citizens nor residents of the United States to reflect current realities in regard to such employees.  The regulations will also be revised to reflect a recent statutory change to the FECA moving the 3-day waiting period before qualifying for wage-loss compensation for employees of the Postal Service.]]></ABSTRACT>

To implement this amendment, the Department anticipates proposing a rule that addresses the definition of recreational vessel and coverage of those employees who work in both covered employment and employment excluded under the amendment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 amended the Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 U.S.C. 901-44, to reinstate two methods of establishing entitlement that were repealed with respect to claims filed after 1981.  Specifically, the PPACA reinstated 30 U.S.C. 921(c)(4)(presumption of total disability or death due to pneumoconiosis arising out of coal mine employment where the miner had 15 years of coal mine employment and proof of total disability) and 30 U.S.C. 932(l) (automatic entitlement to benefits for eligible survivors of miners who were awarded benefits based on lifetime claims).  The newly amended statutory provisions apply to claims filed after January 1, 2005.  The Department anticipates proposing rules that define the class of claims affected by the amendments and set the criteria for establishing entitlement to benefits under the amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2008, which was signed in to law on January 28, 2008, resulted in the creation of a new section of the Federal Employees Compensation Act.  This section establishes a death gratuity payment of up to $100,000 for federal employees who die of injuries incurred in connection with the employee's service with an armed force in a contingency operation.  This bill also contains a provision for retroactivity for employees who died on or after October 7, 2001.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Department of Labor is proposing a regulatory initiative to better implement the public disclosure objectives of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) regarding employer-consultant agreements to persuade employees concerning their rights to organize and bargain collectively.  Under LMRDA section 203, an employer must report any agreement or arrangement with a third party consultant to persuade employees as to their collective bargaining rights or to obtain certain information concerning the activities of employees or a labor organization in connection with a labor dispute involving the employer.  The consultant also is required to report concerning such an agreement or arrangement with an employer.  Statutory exceptions to these reporting requirements are set forth in LMRDA section 203(c), which provides, in part, that employers and consultants are not required to file a report by reason of the consultant's giving or agreeing to give "advice" to the employer.  The Department believes that its current policy concerning the scope of the "advice exception" is overbroad and that a narrower construction would better allow for the employer and consultant reporting intended by the LMRDA.  Regulatory action is needed to provide workers with information critical to their effective participation in the workplace.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <RULE_TITLE>Form T-1: Reports by Labor Organizations on Related Organizations; Reporting by 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 Form LM-2, Labor Organization Annual Report, report on their wholly owned, wholly controlled and wholly financed organizations ("subsidiary organizations") on their Form LM-2 report.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Non Discrimination In Compensation:  Compensation Data Collection Tool</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Compensation discrimination is one form of discrimination that is prohibited by Executive Order 11246, as amended, (E.O. 11246).  Eliminating gender and race-based, compensation discrimination continues to be a priority issue for OFCCP.  Consequently, OFCCP is considering the development of a new strategic compensation data collection tool that will effectively identify contractors that are likely to violate E.O. 11246.  In addition, the data collection tool may be used to conduct establishment-specific, contractor-wide, and industry-wide analyses.  Through publication of an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), OFCCP will seek input from stakeholders on issues relating to the scope, content, and format of the tool to ensure that it is an effective and efficient data collection instrument]]></ABSTRACT>

Recent data show that disparities in the representation of women and racial minorities continue to exist in on-site construction occupations in the construction industry.

        <RULE_TITLE>Redesignation of Title 20 CFR, Chapter VI</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current title of Chapter VI, title 20 CFR, is "Employment Standards Administration, Department of Labor."  Because the Secretary of Labor dissolved the Employment Standards Administration (ESA) into its constituent components on November 8, 2009, Chapter VI must be redesignated.  The rules contained in Chapter VI implement the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as extended (33 U.S.C. 901 to 951), and the Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 U.S.C. 901 to 944.  The Secretary has delegated authority for administering both programs to the Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs.  74 FR 58834 (Nov. 13, 2009).  Accordingly, this final rule redesignates title 20 CFR, Chapter VI, as "Office of Workers' Compensation Program, Department of Labor."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes adjustments in current fees for consular services, in light of the findings of an independent cost of service study that the U.S. Government is not fully covering its costs for providing these services under the current fee structure.  There is a tiered application processing fee for immigrant visas depending on the category.  The adult passport book application fee is increased from $55 to $70 to better allow full cost recovery.  This rule also reflects changes made in other interim final rules, 1400-AC42 (which is in effect) and 1400-AC57 (for which comments will be solicited).]]></ABSTRACT>

All DSP-5 licenses that have been issued electronically by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and decremented electronically by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection through the Automated Export System (AES) will no longer be returned to DDTC.  The return of these licenses is unnecessary, since all of the export information has been captured and saved electronically. All DSP-61, DSP-73, DSP-85, and DSP-94 licenses are to be returned to the DDTC, since these licenses are not decremented electronically.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking would grant air charter brokers authority to hold out, sell, and arrange single entity charter air transportation by exempting them from certain provisions of subtitle VII of title 49 of the United States Code, provided they comply with the provisions of this rule. These provisions would include a prohibition on air charter brokers holding out in a manner that could induce a reasonable person to think that they are direct air carriers. It would also require that air charter brokers contract only with duly authorized direct air carriers.]]></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.  

In the 2009 DPA reauthorization legislation, Congress mandated that each Federal agency with delegated authority under Title I of the DPA develop final rules that establish standards and procedures for implementing its delegated authority in emergency and nonemergency conditons.  Additionally, Congress mandated that, to the extent practacable, the rules be consistent and unifed.  DOT is part of an interageny working group, along with the other delegated agencies, that is developing consistent unifed rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking would also amend part 382 to eliminate the labeling requirements for FAA approved portable oxygen concentrators and specify that ventilators, respirators and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines must be allowed for use in the passenger cabin as long as they comply with applicable safety, security, and hazardous materials rules.  In addition, this rule would amend the provision in part 382 that allows carriers to require a passenger who wishes to use an FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrator in the aircraft cabin to provide a medical certificate dated within 10 days of the passenger´s initial flight.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise and republish its regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552 (FOIA).  The purpose for this revision is to update the regulations to be consistent with amendments to FOIA that were signed into law on December 31, 2007, revise DOT´s fee schedule and other charges, and make provisions clearer and easier to locate.  The regulations are being republished because of numerous changes to the organization and headings (e.g., the headings are now in the form of questions).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprise in Airport ConcessionsProgram Reviews</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would propose to amend a provision in its rule governing the airport concessions disadvantaged business enterprise (ACDBE) program that would "sunset" the rule in April 2010.  The amended provision would instead provide for periodic program reviews. In addition, in the interest of initiating a program review, the Department is solicitating comments on any changes that should be made in the rule. These comments would assist the Department in reviewing the rule and, if warranted, proposing modifications to it in the future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) revised the current Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (CCF) to conform with its revised Mandatory Guidelines.  The new Federal CCF is approved for use by the Federal Agencies for their workplace drug testing programs on October 1, 2010.  Because the Federal CCF is also used in the Department of Transportation (DOT) drug testing program, the Office of the Secretary is amending its drug testing procedures to authorize employers regulated by the DOT to begin using the new Federal CCF on October 1, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Since 2002, there has been an increase in fatal helicopter air ambulance accidents.  The FAA has undertaken initiatives to address common factors that contribute to helicopter air ambulance accidents including issuing notices, handbook bulletins, operations specifications, and advisory circulars (ACs).  This rule would codify many of those initiatives, as well as several NTSB and part 125/135 Aviation Rulemaking Committee recommendations.  In addition, the House of Representatives and the Senate introduced legislation in the 111th Congress and in earlier sessions that would address several of the issues raised in this rulemaking.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 49 U.S.C. 44701(a)(4), which requires the Administrator to promulgate regulations in the interest of safety for the maximum hours or periods of service of airmen and other employees of air carriers, and 49 U.S.C. 44701(a)(5), which requires the Administrator to promulgate regulations and minimum standards for other practices, methods, and procedures necessary for safety in air commerce and national security.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Alternative One: The alternative would change the compliance date from three years to four years after the effective rule date to install all required pieces of equipment. This would help small business owners cope with the burden of the expenses because they would be able to integrate these pieces of equipment over a longer period of time. This alternative is not preferred because it would delay safety enhancements.

Alternative Two: The alternative would exclude the HTAWS unit from this proposal. Although this alternative would reduce annualized costs to small air ambulance operators by approximately 12 percent and the ratio of annualized cost to annual revenue would decrease from a range of between 1.76 percent and 1.88 percent to a range of between 1.55 percent and 1.65 percent, the annualized cost would still be significant for all 35 small air ambulance operators.  The alternative not only does not eliminate the problem for a substantial number of small entities, but also would reduce safety. The HTAWS is an outstanding tool for situational awareness in all aspects of flying including day, night, and instrument meteorological conditions. Therefore the FAA believes that this equipment is a significant enhancement for safety.

Alternative Three: The alternative would increase the requirement of certificate holders from 10 to 15 helicopters or more that are engaged in helicopter air ambulance operations to have an Operations Control Center. The FAA believes that operators with 10 or more helicopters engaged in air ambulance operations would cover 66 percent of the total population of the air ambulance fleet in the U.S. The FAA believes that operators with 15 or more helicopters would decrease the coverage of the population to 50 percent. Furthermore, complexity issues arise and considerably increase with operators of more than 10 helicopters.

All alternatives above are not considered to be acceptable by the FAA in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 603(c).]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The FAA is currently developing costs and benefits.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Helicopter air ambulance operations have several characteristics that make them unique, including that they are not limited to airport locations for picking up and dropping off patients, but may pick up a person at a roadside accident scene and transport him or her directly to a hospital.  Helicopter air ambulance operations are also often time-sensitive.  A helicopter air ambulance flight may be crucial to getting a donor organ or critically ill or injured patient to a medical facility as efficiently as possible.  Additionally, patients generally are not able to choose the helicopter air ambulance company that provides them with transportation.  Despite the fact that there are unique aspects to helicopter air ambulance operations, they remain, at their core, air transportation.  Accordingly, the FAA has the responsibility for ensuring the safety of these operations.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>First Officer Qualification Requirements for Part 121 Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would gather information on whether current eligibility, training, and qualification requirements are adequate for pilots engaged in part 121 and part 135 operations. This action is necessary because recent airline accidents and incidents have brought considerable attention to the experience level and training of air carrier flight crews. The FAA would use the gathered information to determine the necessity of creating new eligibility, training, and qualification regulations for flight crews and the changes the new regulations might include.  The FAA has formed an Aviation Rulemaking Committee to review the information and provide recommendations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would harmonize U.S. and European airworthiness standards flight rules for takeoff speeds, static lateral-directional stability, speed increase and recovery characteristics, and stall warning margin in the landing configuration in icing conditions. The takeoff speeds, static lateral-directional stability, and speed increase and recovery characteristics requirements were adopted by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in 2003, and have been incorporated into current industry design practices.  The proposed change for icing conditions would harmonize with EASA´s Certification Standard 25, amendment 6, effective July 6, 2009, which adopted an additional requirement concerning stall warning in the landing configuration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pilot-in-Command Proficiency Check and Other Changes to the Pilot and Pilot School Certification Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require proficiency checks for pilots in command (PICs) 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 definition of "complex 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 rulemaking would be to ensure flight crewmembers have the training and qualifications necessary to operate aircraft safely.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electrical and Electronic System Lightning Protection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish uniform lightning protection for electrical and electronic systems, based on the consequences of system function failure. This action is necessary because aircraft are increasingly equipped with flight-critical systems, and use composite airframe structures that provide less protection than traditional aluminum. The intended effect is to establish two levels of protection: (1) for those failures that would prevent continued safe flight and landing; (2) for those failures that would reduce the aircraft's or the flightcrew's capability to respond to adverse conditions. Finally, it would harmonize FAA regulations with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The FAA recognizes that the effects of pilot fatigue are universal, and the profiles of different types of operations are similar enough that the same fatigue mitigations should be applied across all types of operations. 

In June 2009, the FAA established the Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) whose membership includes labor, industry, and FAA representatives. The ARC reviewed current approaches to mitigating fatigue and in September 2009 made recommendations to the Associate Administrator for Aviation Safety on how to address this issue in FAA regulations.

The ARC considered: 
* An approach to fatigue that consolidates and replaces existing regulatory requirements;
* Current fatigue science, data, and information;
* How current international standards address fatigue; and
* The use of Fatigue Risk Management Systems.

Based on ARC recommendations, the FAA is developing new regulations on crewmember flight, duty and rest requirements.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would prohibit flight operations below flight level (FL) 160 within the territory and airspace of Afghanistan by all: U.S. air carriers; U.S. commercial operators; persons exercising the privileges of a U.S. airman certificate, except if the flight is on behalf of a foreign air carrier; and operators of U.S.-registered aircraft, except when such operators are foreign air carriers.  The FAA finds this action necessary to prevent a potential hazard to persons and aircraft engaged in such flight operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) are a nonsignificant body of regulations that are complex and technical in nature and require routine and frequent rulemaking to maintain efficiency.  The FAA issues, revises, and cancels SIAPs by adopting amendments that are incorporated into 14 CFR part 97.  Contemporaneously with publication in the Federal Register, the SIAPs are made available to the Aeronautical Charting and Cartography Office in the FAA and other publishers of aeronautical charts, where they are published as approach procedure charts or "approach plates."  These charts are made available to the members of the aviation community for use by pilots in making instrument approaches.  Total actions expected3300.  10/00/2010-10/00/2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations governing objects that may affect the navigable airspace.  These rules have not been revised in several decades, and the FAA has determined it is necessary to update the regulations, incorporate case law and legislative action, and simplify the rule language.  These changes will improve safety and promote the efficient use of the National Airspace System.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Aging Aircraft Program (Widespread Fatigue Damage)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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 nine or fewer passenger seats.  The rulemaking would allow multiengine turbojet operators to provide commuter service to the traveling public, thus accommodating new technologies 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>Clarification of Parachute Packing Authorization</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the requirements for individuals who pack, maintain, or alter main parachutes of a dual-parachute system, those with main and backup parachutes, to be used for parachute jumping in connection with civil aircraft of the United States.  A non-certificated person would be allowed to pack a main parachute only when he or she is under the supervision of a certificated parachute rigger, or when he or she will be the next jumper to use the parachute.  This action is intended to correct a potentially unsafe condition of parachute operations created by changes to the 2001 revision of the current rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would allow one required flight attendant to deplane during passenger boarding to conduct safety related duties, and it would permit a reduction of flight attendants remaining onboard the airplane during passenger deplaning. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would allow acceptance of expired certificates, authorizations for renewal, and written test reports from U.S. personnel assigned outside the United States in support of Armed Forces operations.  This action is necessary to avoid penalizing these U.S. personnel who are unable to meet the regulatory time limits of their flight instructor certificate, inspection authorization, or airman written test report because they are serving outside the United States.  The effect of this action is to give these U.S. personnel extra time to meet the eligibility requirements under the current rules. Currently, SFAR 100 expires on June 20, 2010 and needs to be extended without a specified expiration date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of the Compliance Date for CVR/DFDR Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would change the compliance date from April 7, 2010 to April 7, 2012, which is required for certain upgrades of digital flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder equipment on certain aircraft.  This action is necessary because several aircraft manufacturers and industry organizations indicated an inability to comply with the 2010 requirement.  The intended effect of this action would generate positive net benefits in comparison to the options of maintaining the existing compliance dates or of granting temporary exemptions and retrofitting airplanes with the equipment as it becomes available.]]></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 (URS).  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, was addressed separately in RIN 2126-AB09.  The cargo insurance portion of this rulemaking has been split off into RIN 2126-AB21.]]></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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Because of the time and expense associated with the on-site compliance review, only a small fraction of carriers (approximately 12,000) receive a safety fitness determination each year. Since the current safety fitness determination process is based exclusively on the results of an on site compliance review, the great majority of carriers subject to FMCSA jurisdiction do not receive a timely determination of their safety fitness.

The proposed methodology for determining motor carrier safety fitness should correct the deficiencies of the current process. In correcting these deficiencies, FMCSA has made a concerted effort to develop a "transparent" method for the SFD that would allow each motor carrier to understand fully how FMCSA established that carrier's specific SFD.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule is based primarily on the authority of 49 U.S.C. 31144, which directs the Secretary of Transportation to "determine whether an owner or operator is fit to operate a commercial motor vehicle" and to "maintain by regulation a procedure for determining the safety fitness of an owner or operator." This statute was first enacted as part of the Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1984, section 215, Public Law 98-554, 98 Stat. 2844 (Oct. 30, 1984).

The proposed rule also relies on the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 31133, which gives the Secretary "broad administrative powers to assist in the implementation" of the provisions of the Motor Carrier Safety Act now found in chapter 311 of title 49, U.S.C. These powers include, among others, authority to conduct inspections and investigations, compile statistics, require production of records and property, prescribe recordkeeping and reporting requirements and to perform other acts considered appropriate.  These powers are used to obtain the data used by the Safety Management System and by the proposed new methodology for safety fitness determinations.

Under 49 CFR 1.73(g), the Secretary has delegated the authority to carry out the functions in subchapters I, III, and IV of chapter 311, title 49, U.S.C., to the FMCSA Administrator. Sections 31133 and 31144 are part of subchapter III of chapter 311.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would create a central database for verified positive controlled substances and alcohol test results for commercial driver´s license (CDL) holders and refusals by such drivers to submit to testing. This rulemaking would require employers of CDL holders and service agents to report positive test results and refusals to test into the database. Prospective employers, acting on an application for a CDL driver position with the applicant's written consent to access the database, would query the database to determine if any specific information about the specific driver applicant is in the database before allowing the applicant to be hired and to drive CMVs. This rulemaking is intended to increase highway safety by ensuring CDL holders, who have tested positive or have refused to submit to testing, have completed the U.S. DOT´s return-to-duty process before driving CMVs in interstate or intrastate commerce.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic On-Board Recorders and Hours of Service Supporting Documents </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will consider revisions to RIN 2126-AA89 (Electronic On-Board Recorders for Hours of Service Drivers) to expand the number of motor carriers required to install and operate Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBRs). FMCSA is consolidating this follow-up to the EOBR rule with the Hours Of Service Of Drivers: Supporting Documents rulemaking for development of a single NPRM in RIN 2126-AB20.  In addressing Hours of Service Supporting Documents requirements in this new rulemaking, FMCSA will consider reducing or eliminating current paperwork burdens associated with supporting documents in favor of expanded EOBR use. On January 15, 2010, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) filed a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Cir. No. 10-1009).  ATA petitioned the court to direct FMCSA to issue an NPRM on "supporting documents" in conformance with the requirements set forth in section 113 of mandamus on September 30, 2010, ordering FMCSA to issue an NPRM on the supporting document regulations by December 30, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 31502 of title 49 of the United States Code provides that "[t]he Secretary of Transportation may prescribe requirements for: (1) Qualifications and maximum hours of service of employees of, and safety of operation and equipment of, a motor carrier; and (2) qualifications and maximum hours of service of employees of, and standards of equipment of, a motor private carrier, when needed to promote safety of operation."  This rulemaking addresses "safety of operation and equipment" of motor carriers and "standards of equipment" of motor private carriers and, as such, is well within the authority of 49 U.S.C. 31502.  The rulemaking would allow motor carriers to use EOBRs to document drivers? compliance with the HOS requirements; require some noncompliant carriers to install, use, and maintain EOBRs for this purpose; and update existing performance standards for on-board recording devices.

Section 31136 of title 49 of the United States Code provides concurrent authority to regulate drivers, motor carriers, and vehicle equipment.  It requires the Secretary to "prescribe regulations on commercial motor vehicle safety.  The regulations shall prescribe minimum safety standards for commercial motor vehicles.  At a minimum, the regulations shall ensure that: (1) Commercial motor vehicles are maintained, equipped, loaded, and operated safely; (2) the responsibilities imposed on operators of commercial motor vehicles do not impair their ability to operate the vehicles safely; (3) the physical condition of operators of commercial motor vehicles is adequate to enable them to operate the vehicles safely; and (4) the operation of commercial motor vehicles does not have a deleterious effect on the physical condition of the operators."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The goals of this hours of service (HOS) proposed rule are to improve safety while ensuring that the requirements would not have an adverse impact on driver health.  The proposed rule would also provide drivers with the flexibility to obtain rest when they need it and to adjust their schedules to account for unanticipated delays.  FMCSA has also attempted to make the proposed rule easy to understand (though not at the expense of safety) and readily enforceable.  The impact of HOS rules on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety is difficult to separate from the many other factors that affect heavy-vehicle crashes.  The 2008 FMCSA final rule on HOS noted that "FMCSA has consistently been cautious about inferring causal relationships between the HOS requirements and trends in overall motor carrier safety.  The Agency believes that the data show no decline in highway safety since the implementation of the 2003 rule and its re-adoption in the 2005 rule and the 2007 [interim final rule]" (73 FR 69567, 69572, November 19, 2008).  While that statement remains correct, the total number of crashes, though declining, is still unacceptably high.  FMCSA believes that the modified HOS rules proposed, coupled with the Agency's many other safety initiatives and assisted by the actions of an increasingly safety-conscious motor carrier industry, would result in continued reductions in fatigue-related CMV crashes and fatalities.  Furthermore, this proposed rule is intended to protect drivers from the serious health problems associated with excessively long work hours, without significantly compromising their ability to do their jobs and earn a living.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The HOS regulations proposed today concern the "maximum hours of service of employees of . . . a motor carrier" (49 U.S.C. 31502(b)(1)) and the "maximum hours of service of employees of . . . a motor private carrier" (49 U.S.C. 31502(b)(2)). The adoption and enforcement of such rules were specifically authorized by the Motor Carrier Act of 1935.

The 1984 Act provides concurrent authority to regulate drivers, motor carriers, and vehicle equipment. It requires the Secretary of Transportation to "prescribe regulations on commercial motor vehicle safety. The regulations shall prescribe minimum safety standards for commercial motor vehicles." Although this authority is very broad, the 1984 Act also includes specific requirements: "At a minimum, the regulations shall ensure that (1) commercial motor vehicles are maintained, equipped, loaded, and operated safely; (2) the responsibilities imposed on operators of commercial motor vehicles do not impair their ability to operate the vehicles safely; (3) the physical condition of operators of commercial motor vehicles is adequate to enable them to operate the vehicles safely; and (4) the operation of commercial motor vehicles does not have a deleterious effect on the physical condition of the operators" (49 U.S.C. 31136(a)).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FMCSA considered and assessed the consequences of four potential regulatory options. Option 1 is the no-action alternative, which would leave the existing rule in place.  Options 2, 3, and 4 each would adopt several revisions to the rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Agency's analysis shows an annualized cost for the various alternatives of about $1 billion, with against annual safety and health benefits estimated to range from below $300 million to more than $2 billion under different assumptions.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA amends its regulations to require brokers that arrange the transportation of household goods in interstate or foreign commerce for consumers comply with certain consumer protection requirements. Brokers must provide: their U.S. DOT number on their advertisements and internet web sites; estimates of expected moving charges and brokerage fees; FMCSA pamphlets containing tips for successful moves and the consumers rights and responsibilities; and the brokers policies concerning deposits, cancellations, and refunds. This rulemaking is in response to the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) and a petition for rulemaking from the American Moving and Storage Association. This rulemaking is intended to ensure that individual shippers who arrange for transportation of household goods through brokers receive necessary information regarding their rights and responsibilities in connection with interstate household goods moves.]]></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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In enacting the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) [Pub. L. 109-59, August 10, 2005], Congress recognized the need to improve the quality of the medical certification of drivers.  SAFETEA-LU addresses the requirement for medical examiners to receive training in physical examination standards and be listed on a national registry of medical examiners as one step toward improving the quality of the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver physical examination process and the medical fitness of CMV drivers to operate CMVs.  The safety impact will result from ensuring that medical examiners have completed training and testing to demonstrate that they fully understand FMCSA's physical qualifications standards and are capable of applying those standards consistently, thereby decreasing the likelihood that a medically unqualified driver may obtain a medical certificate.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The fundamental legal basis for the NRCME program comes from 49 U.S.C. 31149(d), which requires FMCSA to establish and maintain a current national registry of medical examiners that are qualified to perform examinations of CMV drivers and to issue medical certificates.  FMCSA is required to remove from the registry any medical examiner who fails to meet or maintain qualifications established by FMCSA.  In addition, in developing its regulations, FMCSA must consider both the effect of driver health on the safety of CMV operations and the effect of such operations on driver health, 49 U.S.C. 31136(a).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <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 originally planned to publish a final rule by November 20, 2003. FMCSA will determine the next steps to be taken after enactment of any pending legislation authorizing cross border trucking.]]></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.  FMCSA originally planned to publish a final rule by November 28, 2003.  FMCSA will determine the next steps to be taken after enactment of any pending legislation authorizing cross border trucking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Limitations on the Issuance of Commercial Driver Licenses With a Hazardous Materials Endorsement </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would prohibit States from issuing, renewing, transferring or upgrading a commercial driver´s license (CDL) with a hazardous materials endorsement, unless the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has first conducted a background check on the applicant and determined the applicant does not pose a security risk warranting denial of the hazardous materials endorsement.  FMCSA and TSA simultaneously published interim final rules.  FMCSA has published another IFR corresponding to TSA´s extension of compliance date.  Since this rulemaking conforms to TSA´s rulemaking, the rulemaking is dependent upon TSA action.  This action is considered significant because of substantial public and congressional interest, and national security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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.

Final Rule (2); Technical Amendments and Response to Petitions for Reconsideration-The Agency received several petitions regarding the April 5, 2010 (EOBR) final rule.  This Final Rule (2) makes technical changes to address the petitions and makes clarifying and editorial changes to correct inadvertent errors in the text of the EOBR final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revocation of Operating Authority</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action was merged with RIN 2126-AA89 [75 FR 17208]. This rule would enable FMCSA to revoke the operating authority of (1) a for-hire motor carrier that has been prohibited from operating in interstate commerce for failure to comply with the Agency's safety fitness requirements, or (2) a passenger carrier conducting unsafe operations deemed to be an imminent hazard to public health or property. This action is required by SAFETEA-LU.  

The EOBR I rule includes a specific provision (49 CFR 385.13(e)), providing for summary revocation of registration (operating authority) whenever a proposed unfitness determination becomes final.  This derives from section 4104 of SAFETEA-LU which directed summary revocation of operating authority "for failure to comply with the safety fitness requirements of 49 U.S.C. 31144.  

Section 4104 is self-executing and, thus, would not have required an implementing rule. In the EOBR I context, however,  the Agency determined that it was appropriate to specifically reference revocation as a consequence of a carrier´s unfit status for failure to comply with an EOBR directive.  Because the revocation reach of section 4104 extends to any unfitness determination based on section 31144 compliance failures, the Agency, further, wanted to ensure that the reference introduced into the regulations in the EOBR rule was not specifically limited to EOBR mandate compliance breaches.  Accordingly, the provision introduced into 49 CFR 385 fully responds to and reflects the revocation provision of section 4104.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Direct Final Rulemaking Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA amends its rulemaking procedures by establishing direct final rulemaking procedures.  Under these procedures, FMCSA will make regulatory changes, which would become effective a specified number of days after the date of publication in the Federal Register, unless FMCSA receives written adverse comments or notice of intent to file adverse comments received by the date specified in the direct final rule.  These new procedures will expedite the promulgation of routine or noncontroversial rules by reducing the time and resources necessary to develop, review, clear, and publish separate proposed and final rules.  FMCSA will not use direct final rulemaking procedures for complex or controversial issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This direct final rule responds to a petition for rulemaking from the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA). The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) amends its regulations to eliminate turbochargers from the list of equipment considered to be noise dissipative devices.  As written, 49 CFR 325.91(b) may allow vehicle operators to remove mufflers and still meet the Federal inspection requirements if commercial motor vehicle engines are equipped with turbochargers.  This was not the intent of the rule. The rule must be amended to restore its original purpose.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Passenger Car and Light Truck Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards MYs 2017 and Beyond </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for light trucks and passenger cars for model years 2017 and beyond.  This rulemaking would respond to requirements of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.  The statute requires that CAFE standards be prescribed separately for passenger automobiles and non-passenger automobiles to achieve a combined fleet fuel economy of at least 35 mpg by model year 2020. For model years 2021 and beyond, the statute requires that the average fuel economy required to be attained by each fleet of passenger and non-passenger automobiles be the maximum feasible for each model year.  The law requires the standards be set at least 18 months prior to the start of the model year.  On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a memorandum directing NHTSA and EPA to conduct a joint rulemaking (NHTSA regulating fuel economy and EPA regulating greenhouse gas emissions) and to issue a Notice of Intent to Issue a Proposed Rule (NOI) by September 30, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

The 2010 NHTSA analysis shows that a 100 pound reduction in weight, while keeping footprint constant, decreases the fatality rate for light trucks over 3,870 lbs. but increases the fatality rate for light trucks less than 3,870 lbs. and for all passenger cars.  An interagency team from DOT, EPA, and DOE are further examining this issue.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would incorporate the Hybrid III ten-year old dummy into Part 572 for potential application in Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) such as FMVSS No. 213, "Child restraint systems." Anton´s Law, signed by the President on December 4, 2002, specified in Section 4 that within 24 months, the Secretary of Transportation shall develop and evaluate an anthropomorphic test device that simulates a 10-year old child for use in testing child restraints used in passenger motor vehicles. The evaluation and testing of such a device has been completed by NHTSA. This rulemaking would include 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>FMVSS No. 124, Accelerator Control Systems Upgrade</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Medium- and Heavy-Duty On-Highway Vehicles and Work Truck Fuel Efficiency Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to requirements of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.  The statute requires that rulemaking begin with a report by the National Academy of Sciences evaluating medium-duty and heavy-duty truck fuel economy standards.  The National Academy provided Congress and the NHTSA with this report on March 18, 2010.  EISA then requires that NHTSA complete a study that examines the fuel efficiency of commercial medium- and heavy-duty on-highway vehicles and work trucks and determines the appropriate test procedures and methodologies for measuring the fuel efficiency of such vehicles, the appropriate metric for measuring the fuel efficiency of such vehicles, the range of factors that affect the fuel efficiency of these vehicles, and other factors that could impact a program to improve the fuel efficiency of these vehicles.

The NHTSA study was issued October 25, 2010.  Once that study is completed, NHTSA has 24 months to complete a final rule establishing a fuel efficiency program for these vehicles.  The law provides that the new standards must provide at least 4 full model years of regulatory leadtime and 3 full model years of regulatory stability (i.e., the standards must remain in effect for 3 years before they may be amended). On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a memorandum directing NHTSA and EPA conduct a joint rulemaking (NHTSA regulating fuel efficiency and EPA regulating greenhouse gas emissions), and to issue a final rule by July 30, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Setting fuel consumption standards for commercial medium-duty and heavy-duty on-highway vehicles and work trucks will reduce fuel consumption, and will thereby improve U.S. energy security by reducing dependence on foreign oil, which has been a national objective since the first oil price shocks in the 1970s.  Net petroleum imports now account for approximately 60 percent of U.S. petroleum consumption.  World crude oil production is highly concentrated, exacerbating the risks of supply disruptions and price shocks.  Tight global oil markets led to prices over $100 per barrel in 2008, with gasoline reaching as high as $4 per gallon in many parts of the U.S., causing financial hardship for many families and businesses.  The export of U.S. assets for oil imports continues to be an important component of the historically unprecedented U.S. trade deficits.  Transportation accounts for about 72 percent of U.S. petroleum consumption.  Medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles account for about 17 percent of transportation oil use, which means that they alone account for about 12 percent of all U.S. oil consumption.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Specifically, 49 U.S.C. 32902(k)(2) states that not later than 2 years after completion of the NHTSA study, DOT (by delegation, NHTSA), in consultation with the Department of Energy and EPA, shall develop a regulation to implement a "commercial medium-duty and heavy-duty on-highway vehicle and work truck fuel efficiency improvement program designed to achieve the maximum feasible improvement."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consumer Information of Fuel Economy, Emissions, and Alternative Fuel UsageFuel Tank Labels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to requirements of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), title 1, subtitle A, section 105, as it amends 49 USC section 32908, to implement Consumer Information and Consumer Education programs related to fuel economy, GHG, other emissions, and alternative fuels. EISA directs the Secretary of Transportation to label vehicles with a permanent and prominent display that an automobile is capable of operating on alternative fuels, and to include in the owner´s manual for vehicles capable of operating on alternative fuels information that describes that capability and the benefits of using alternative fuels, including the renewable nature and environmental benefits of using alternative fuels. Additionally, EISA requires a label to be attached to the fuel compartment of vehicles capable of operating on alternative fuels, with the form of alternative fuel stated on the label. EISA, signed into Law on December 19, 2007, requires that the Secretary issue a final rule not later than 42 months after the date of the enactment.]]></ABSTRACT>

The agency has tentatively concluded that the original safety problem the standard was intended to address no longer exists. There has not been a compliance issue with this standard since shortly after it became effective. Additionally, we believe that other vehicle safety standards are in place to prevent the safety concern addressed by FMVSS No. 219.]]></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 the 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."  The SAFETEA-LU legislation also requires that, if the Secretary determines that the subject final rule deadline cannot be met, the Secretary shall notify and provide an explanation to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation and the House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce of the delay.  On September 24, 2009, the Secretary provided appropriate notification to Congress that the final rule will be delayed until January 31, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The agency is reducing the population of partial and complete side window ejections through a series of rulemaking actions. These actions included adding a pole impact upgrade to FMVSS No. 214--Side Impact Protection (72 FR 51908) and promulgating FMVSS No. 126--Electronic Stability Control Systems (72 FR 17236). In the NPRM for this rulemaking, published December 2, 2009 (74 FR 63180), we estimated that promulgating FMVSS No. 226 will reduce the remaining population of ejection fatalities and serious injuries by the ranges of 390 to 402 and 296 to 310, respectively. The cost per equivalent fatality at a seven percent discount rate was estimated to be $2.0 million.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Car Assessment Program Safety Ratings Labeling</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would include a new overall vehicle score that is based on the frontal crash, side crash, and rollover resistance ratings for each vehicle as part of the agency´s 5-star ratings label safety ratings that must be displayed on the Monroney label.  On July 11, 2008, NHTSA published a notice announcing the enhancements to the agency´s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).  This rulemaking would incorporate changes in the NCAP programs, including the creation of an overall vehicle score in the vehicle safety ratings labeling program.  A vehicle safety ratings labeling program was created in September 2007 as a result of a mandate in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU).  This law, passed by Congress in August 2005, requires new passenger vehicles to be labeled with safety rating information published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration´s New Car Assessment Program as part of the Monroney label.  NHTSA implemented this labeling program in a final rule published on September 12, 2006.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Make Inoperative Exemptions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend 49 CFR part 595 Exemptions From the Make Inoperative Prohibition, subpart C--Vehicle Modifications To Accommodate People with Disabilities, as a result of recent changes to requirements contained in FMVSS No. 214, Side Impact Protection.  Specifically, changes have occurred in the moving deformable barrier and vehicle-to-pole requirements. Additionally, it would amend 595.7 because references to certain related sections in 49 CFR 571 are now incorrect due to updating of the corresponding standards over the years. These exemptions apply to certain sections of several Federal motor vehicle safety standards, under limited circumstances, when vehicles are to be used by persons with disabilities. There is no safety related cost or benefit associated with this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require the installation of lap/shoulder belts in newly-manufactured motorcoaches. Specifically, this rulemaking would establish a new definition for motorcoaches in 49 CFR part 571.3. It would also amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant crash protection," to require the installation of lap/shoulder belts at all driver and passenger seating positions. It would also require the installation of lap/shoulder belts at driver seating positions of large school buses in FMVSS No. 208. This rulemaking responds, in part, to recommendations made by the National Transportation Safety Board for improving bus safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Response to Petitions for Reconsideration of Part 563 Event Data Recorders Final Rule (Second Reconsideration)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to petitions for reconsideration of Part 563 Event Data Recorders (EDRs). On January 14, 2008, NHTSA published a final rule amending the requirements for EDRs in Part 563. The January 2008 notice responded to petitions for reconsideration of the original August 2006 final rule that established the EDR standardization requirements for those voluntarily installed in light passenger vehicles. In response to the January 14, 2008 final rule, the agency received three petitions for reconsideration from the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers, Inc., and Mr. Thomas Kowalick, a private citizen. After careful consideration of the petition issues, the agency is granting some aspects of the petitions, and denying others. The main petition issues involve: removing the optional acceleration data element, making technical changes to address data clipping, clarifying the application of sensor tolerances, clarifying the event storage definition to alleviate uncertainties in multiple event crashes, making minor technical and editorial corrections, and addressing a request for a mechanical lockout device.]]></ABSTRACT>

EISA, signed into Law on December 19, 2007, requires that the Secretary issue a final rule not later than 42 months after the date of the enactment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Realign FMVSS No. 305, Electric Powered Vehicles: Electrolyte Spillage and Electrical Shock Protection With SAE J1766</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 305, Electric Powered Vehicles: Electrolyte Spillage and Electrical Shock Protection, by adding requirements for electrical isolation for direct current electrical power sources in addition to the existing requirements based upon alternating current, and would update the requirements to address forms of electrical energy storage devices other than batteries, including hydrogen fuel cells. On April 15, 2005, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Alliance) petitioned the agency to amend the requirements of FMVSS No. 305. Alliance specifically petitioned that FMVSS No. 305 be realigned with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1766 Recommended Practice for Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicle Battery Systems Crash Integrity Testing which was updated in March 2005 to accommodate fuel cell vehicles (FCVs).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

The amendments would 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 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the passenger equipment safety standards to enhance standards for passenger train emergency systems and would clarify the passenger train emergency preparedness standards.  Specifically, FRA would incorporate by reference three APTA emergency system standards:  Standard for Emergency Lighting System Design for Passenger Cars, Standard for Emergency Signage for Egress/Access of Passenger Rail Equipment, and Standard for Low-Location Exit Path Marking.  Miscellaneous amendments to FRA's existing regulations would include: (1) clarifying that new passenger cars must have at least two exterior side doors, one on each side; (2) requiring removable panels/windows in vestibule doors for new passenger cars; (3) consolidating various door requirements into one section for easier reference; and (4) revising part 239 to explicitly address train crew participation in debrief and critique sessions.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise the Federal Railroad Administration's Safety Appliance regulations in 49 CFR part 231 to provide greater flexibility to the industry in creating new car designs while also advancing the safety of those persons who are engaged in activities requiring them to work on and around safety appliance apparatuses.  FRA would add a process to the Safety Appliance regulations that would allow an alternative method of compliance.  Under this process, railroad industry representatives could submit requests for special approval to build new rail cars in accordance with existing industry safety appliance standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Track Safety Standards; Concrete Crossties</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will set forth proposed limits for rail seat abrasion and concrete crosstie pad wear, and it will address the following: missing or broken rail fasteners, the loss of appropriate toe load pressure, improper fastener configuration, and excessive lateral rail movement. The rulemaking will also instruct track owners to inspect certain categories of track with concrete crossties using automated inspection technology. The Federal Railroad Administration anticipates that this rulemaking will improve the safety of railroad operations over concrete crossties and the implementation of the proposed regulations in the railroad industry within the normal 20-year window for economic analysis will generate a beneficial effect on the National economy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vehicle/Track Interaction Safety Standards; High-Speed and High Cant Deficiency Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Track Safety Standards and Passenger Equipment Safety Standards for high-speed train operations and train operations at high cant deficiencies to promote the safe interaction of rail vehicles with the track over which they operate.  The proposal would revise both the safety limits for these operations and the process to qualify them.  The proposal accounts for a range of vehicle types that are currently used and may likely be used on future high-speed or high cant deficiency rail operations, and provides safety assurance for train operations in all classes of track.  The proposal is based on the results of simulation studies designed to identify track geometry irregularities associated with unsafe wheel forces and acceleration, thorough reviews of vehicle qualification and revenue service test data, and consideration of international practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is proposing to transform its Project Management Oversight rule at 49 CFR part 633 into a Project Management rule governing all major capital projects funded under 49 U.S.C. chapter 53.  As the first step in the rulemaking process, this rulemaking 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 3011 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act--A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) made a number of changes to 49 U.S.C. 5309, which authorizes the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) fixed guideway capital investment grant program known as "New Starts."  SAFETEA-LU also added created a new category of major capital investments that have a total project cost of less than $250 million and that are seeking less than $75 million in section 5309 major capital investment funds.  This rulemaking proposes to implement those changes and a number of other changes that FTA believes will improve the process for evaluating major capital investment projects.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 5309, title 49, of the United States Code requires the Secretary to promulgate regulations for the evaluation and selection of major capital investment projects that have a total project cost of less than $250 million, and that are seeking less than $75 million in section 5309 major capital investment funds.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This rulemaking is mandated by section 3011 of SAFETEA-LU, so there is not an alternative to pursuing rulemaking.  Within the rulemaking process, FTA has already issued and has received comments on an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that will inform the various options FTA might pursue in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The single largest change in the New Starts program is the creation in SAFETEA-LU of the "Small Starts" program.   Over the first 10 years of the Small Starts program, the cumulative impact of transfer from New Starts to Small Starts will likely be $1.9 Billion, with a Net Present Value of $1.311 Billion using a discount rate of 7 percent.  This effect is difficult to characterize in terms of cost or benefit, as it simply represents a "transfer of a transfer" from one governmental entity to another.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The proposed rulemaking provides a framework for a discretionary grant program; it does not propose to regulate other than for applicants for Federal funds.  As such, the rulemaking poses no risks for the regulated community, other than for the risks inherent in pursuing Federal funds that might not be awarded if a project fails to satisfy the eligibility and evaluation criteria in the proposed regulatory structure.]]></RISKS>

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>America&apos;s Marine Highway Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Delegations From the Department of Transportation to the Maritime Administrator</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 makes 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. 

This action is being terminated because it was inadvertently added to the agenda by the agency.  This is an internal administrative rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials:  Adoption of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XII and the National Board Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors Code</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[PHMSA would consider amending the HMR to revise existing requirements applicable to the design, construction and certification of cargo tank motor vehicles and cryogenic portable tanks and to reference the standards in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XII.  The rule would also consider revising the continuing qualification and maintenance requirements for cargo tank motor vehicles and portable tanks to reference the National Board Boiler and Pressure Inspectors' National Board Inspection Code.  We would solicit comments to identify gaps or inconsistencies between current requirements and the consensus standards which would be considered for adoption into the HMR. The rule would also solicit information on the potential costs and burdens that would be associated with compliance with these consensus standards. This rulemaking would address two petitions for rulemaking to incorporate the above referenced consensus standards for transport tanks.]]></ABSTRACT>

PHMSA is considering whether changes are needed to the regulations covering hazardous liquid onshore pipelines, whether other areas should be included as HCAs for integrity management (IM)  protections, what the repair timeframes should be for areas outside the HCAs that are assessed as part of the IM program, whether leak detection standards are necessary, valve spacing requirements are needed on new construction or existing pipelines, and PHMSA should extend regulation to certain pipelines currently exempt from regulation.  The agency would also address the public safety and environmental aspects any new requirements, as well as the cost implications and regulatory burden.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety: Completing Regulation of Hazardous Liquid Pipelines Operating at Low Stress</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend pipeline safety regulations to apply safety regulation to rural low-stress hazardous liquid pipelines that are not covered by safety regulations in 49 CFR part 195.  This change complies with a mandate in the Pipeline Inspection, Protection, Enforcement, and Safety Act of 2006 (PIPES Act). Until 2008, unless a rural low stress pipeline crossed a commercially navigable waterway, a hazardous liquid  pipeline operating at low-stress in a rural area was not regulated under Federal pipeline safety regulations in 49 CFR part 195.  Section four of the Pipeline Inspection, Protection, Enforcement, and Safety Act of 2006 (PIPES Act), requires PHMSA to "issue regulations subjecting low-stress hazardous liquid pipelines to the same standards and regulations as other hazardous liquid pipelines." The Act also provided that the new regulations could be issued in phases.  PHMSA decided to implement the PIPES Act mandate in phases, in part because PHMSA did not have complete data on the extent of rural low stress pipelines that would be covered by the statutory mandate.  Phase one, published in a final rule on June 3, 2008, applied full part 195 regulation to the higher-risk, larger-diameter rural low-stress pipelines, i.e., those low-stress pipelines with a diameter of 8 5/8-inches or greater located in or within one-half mile of an unusually sensitive area (USA).  These are the rural low stress pipelines that have more potential to cause harm to unusually sensitive areas.  In phase two (this rulemaking), we would apply part 195 safety requirements to all rural low-stress pipelines not included in the phase one rule.  Thus, the pipelines addressed by this rulemaking are those rural low-stress pipelines of any diameter located more than one-half mile from a USA and those less than 8 5/8 inches in diameter located within one-half mile of a USA. This rulemaking has been downgraded and will not appear in next month´s report.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would request information from industry that would consider whether additional 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. PHMSA has decided to publish a proposed rule instead of a pre-rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials:  Incorporation of Certain Rail Special Permits Into the Hazardous Materials Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would incorporate provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding special permits for transporting hazardous materials by railroad that have an established safety record.  Special permits allow a company or individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner that varies from the Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR parts 171 to 180) provided an equivalent level of safety is maintained.  Specifically, this rulemaking would authorize an alternative tank car qualification program for DOT specification and non-specification tank cars; acceptance of shipping paper information by voice and electronic data interchange communication; alternative rail car segregation requirements for certain explosives; alternative requirements for tank car designs for certain materials; alternative unloading provisions for coupled tank cars; and use of meters as an alternative way to measure the amount of liquefied gas loaded into a tank car.   The revisions are intended to provide wider access to the regulatory flexibility offered in special permits and eliminate the need for numerous renewal requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and facilitating commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety:  Control Room Management; Change in Implementation Period</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[PHMSA published the Control Room Management/Human Factors final rule in the Federal Register (74 FR 63310) on December 3, 2009, which became effective on February 1, 2010.  The final rule established an 18-month program development deadline of August 1, 2011, and a subsequent 18-month program implementation deadline of February 1, 2013.  This notice proposes to expedite the program implementation deadline to August 1, 2011, for most of the requirements, except for certain provisions regarding adequate information and alarm management, which would have a program implementation deadline of August 1, 2012.

The final rule's regulatory analysis did not consider specific costs for the program implementation deadlines because the costs associated with the rule were determined to be the first year program implementation costs, and were not dependent on the implementation deadline.  PHMSA believes that the 18 months provided for program development is sufficient for pipeline operators to both develop and implement certain provisions of the rule.  Where PHMSA believes there is a need for additional program implementation time, we propose to moderately shorten that time by only six months.  Therefore, PHMSA does not believe there is additional cost for this proposed rule beyond what has already been evaluated in the original control room management final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

Additionally, in accordance with requirements proposed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), motor carriers would be prohibited from requiring or allowing drivers of covered motor vehicles to engage in the use of mobile telephones while driving.  This rulemaking would improve health and safety on the Nation's highways by reducing the prevalence of distracted driving-related crashes, fatalities, and injuries involving drivers of commercial motor vehicles.]]></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 Hazardous Materials Regulations (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 regulations 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.  This rulemaking has been downgraded and will not appear on the next month´s report.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: International Harmonization</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 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 would include incorporation by reference of the updated ICAO Technical Instructions, IMDG Code and UN Recommendations and 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials:  Incorporation of Certain Cargo Tank Special Permits Into the HMR</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the HMR by incorporating provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding cargo tank special permits that have an established safety record.  Special permits allow a company or individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner varies from the HMR provided an equivalent level of safety is maintained.  The amendments would provide wider access to the regulatory flexibility offered in special permits and eliminate the need for numerous renewal requests while maintaining an appropriate level of safety. The six special permits in this rulemaking authorize cargo tank transportation operations not specifically permitted under the HMR.  Incorporating these special permits into the HMR eliminates the need for over 10,000 current grantees to reapply for the renewal of six special permits every four years and for PHMSA to process the renewal applications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would restrict the use of electronic devices by drivers during the operation of a motor vehicle containing a quantity of hazardous materials requiring placarding under part 172 of the 49 CFR or any quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR part 73.  Additionally, in accordance with requirements proposed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) motor carriers are prohibited from requiring or allowing drivers of covered motor vehicles to engage in texting while driving. This rulemaking would improve health and safety on the Nation's highways by reducing the prevalence of distracted driving-related crashes, fatalities, and injuries involving drivers of commercial motor vehicles.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rulemaking expands on the limitations on wireless communications proposed by FMCSA's April 1, 2010, NPRM to the transportation of a quantity of hazardous materials requiring placarding under part 172 of the 49 CFR or any quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR part 73 in intrastate commerce.  FMCSA's authority over motor carriers of these materials is limited to transportation in interstate commerce.  The safety benefits associated with limiting the distractions caused by electronic devices are equally applicable to drivers transporting covered hazardous materials via intrastate as they are to interstate commerce.   The use of an electronic device while driving constitutes a safety risk to the motor vehicle driver, other motorists, and bystanders.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[PHMSA considered two alternatives:

1. Amend the HMR to expand the scope of the FMCSA NPRM to include those intrastate motor carriers and drivers that transport a quantity of hazardous materials requiring placarding under part 172 of the 49 CFR or any quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR part 73; or

2. Take no action.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[PHMSA estimates that this proposed rule will cost $5,227 annually.  Additionally, PHMSA has not identified a significant increase in crash risk associated with drivers? strategies for complying with this proposed rule.  As indicated in the regulatory evaluation, a crash resulting in property damage only (PDO) averages approximately $17,000 in damages.  Consequently, the texting restriction would have to eliminate just one PDO crash every 3.25 years for the benefits of this proposed rule to exceed the costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Garnishment of Accounts Containing Federal Benefit Payments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Treasury, SSA, VA, RRB and OPM (Agencies) are publishing for comment a proposed rule to implement statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments.  The proposed rule would establish procedures that financial institutions must follow when a garnishment order is received for a deposit account to which Federal benefit payments have been directly deposited.   The proposed rule would require financial institutions that receive a garnishment order for a deposit account to determine whether a Federal benefit payment was deposited to the account and, if so, would require the financial institution to ensure that the account holder has access to a designated protected amount of funds in the account.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Terrorism Risk Insurance Program; Final Netting </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is issuing this proposed rule as part of its implementation of title I of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA or the Act), as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (Extension Act) and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (Reauthorization Act).  The Act established a temporary Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIP or Program) under which the Federal Government would share the risk of insured losses from certified acts of terrorism with commercial property and casualty insurers.  The Reauthorization Act has now extended the Program until December 31, 2014.  The proposed rule incorporates and implements statutory requirements in section 103(e)(4) of the Act, for the final netting of payments under the Program.  In particular, the proposed rule would establish procedures by which, after the Secretary has determined that claims for the Federal share of insured losses arising from a particular Program Year shall be considered final, a final netting of payments to or from insurers will be accomplished.]]></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>

        <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>Rules of Origin for 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>

Conditions of the bond would be amended to no longer require the merchandise to be labeled as seized and detained for the principal to be required to obtain permission from CBP prior to placing the merchandise on board a conveyance for export or otherwise disposing of the merchandise.  Instead of the condition being applicable when CBP labels merchandise, the condition would be applicable when CBP notifies the principal, either in writing or electronically, that the merchandise has been seized or detained.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to reflect CBP's planned centralization of the continuous bond program at the CPB's Revenue Division.  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.  Additionally, the proposed changes update provisions to accommodate the use of information technology and modern business practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment of the CBP regulations to update, restructure, and consolidate the regulations relating to the country of origin of textile and apparel products.  Amendments reflect changes brought about, in part, by the expiration on January 1, 2005, of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing and the resulting elimination of quotas on the entry of textile and apparel products from World Trade Organization members.  The primary regulatory change is the elimination of the requirement that a textile declaration be submitted for all importations of textile and apparel products.  In addition, to improve the quality of reporting of the manufacturer of imported textiles and apparel products, the amendments include a requirement that importers identify the manufacturer of such products through a manufacturer identification code.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Rulings and Protests</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments to implement the administrative rulings process as well as the filing and administrative review of protests against specific decisions of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Amendments reflect changes to the underlying statutory authority to parts 177 and 174 of title 19 of the CFR made by the Customs Modernization Provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act.  Proposed changes to part 174 also reflect statutory amendments made by the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 1999 regarding protests against decisions on post-importation NAFTA claims and the time required for allowing or denying an application for further review of a protest.  Additional changes to part 174 are proposed to reflect statutory amendments made by the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004, which impact the types of matters that are subject to protest, and extend various protest time limits such as the time to file and amend a protest, the time for a surety to file a protest, and the time to file a request for accelerated disposition of a protest.  Other changes proposed serve to modernize, clarify, and enhance current CBP administrative rulings and protest procedures and reflect the nomenclature changes effected by the transfer of CBP to the Department of Homeland Security and the subsequent renaming of the U.S. Customs Service as the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>First Sale Declaration Requirement</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 1-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>

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.

        <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[This document proposes to amend title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) pertaining to the method by which U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issues courtesy notices of liquidation.  Courtesy notices of liquidation provide informal, advanced notice of the liquidation date and are not required by statute.  Currently, CBP provides an electronic and a paper courtesy notice for importers of record whose entry summaries are electronically filed in the Automated Broker Interface (ABI).  In efforts to streamline the notification process and reduce printing and mailing costs, CBP proposes to discontinue mailing paper courtesy notices of liquidation to importers of record whose entry summaries are filed in ABI.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations--Definitions and Other Regulations Relating to Prepaid Access</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury), is proposing to revise the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations applicable to Money Services Businesses to include stored value or prepaid access.  In this proposed rulemaking, we are reviewing the stored value/prepaid access regulatory framework with a focus on developing appropriate BSA regulatory oversight without impeding continued development of the industry, as well as improving the ability of FinCEN, other regulators and law enforcement to safeguard the U.S. financial system from the abuses of terrorist financing, money laundering, and other financial crime. 
 
The proposed changes are intended to address regulatory gaps that have resulted from the proliferation of prepaid innovations over the last 10 years and their increasing use as an accepted payment method.  If these gaps are not addressed, there is increased potential for the use of prepaid access as a means for furthering money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit transactions through the financial system.  This would significantly undermine many of the efforts previously taken by government and industry to safeguard the financial system through the application of BSA requirements to other areas of the financial sector.  

While seeking to address vulnerabilities existing currently in the prepaid industry, FinCEN also intends for this proposed rule to provide the necessary flexibility to address new developments in technology, markets, and consumer behavior.  This is important, in order to avoid creating artificial limits on a mechanism that can be an avenue to meet the financial services needs of the unbanked and the underbanked.

This rule proposes to subject certain providers of prepaid access to a comprehensive BSA regime.  To make BSA reports and records valuable and meaningful, the proposed changes impose obligations on the party within any given prepaid access transaction chain with predominant oversight and control, as well as others in a unique position to provide meaningful information to regulators and law enforcement.  More specifically, the proposed changes include the following:  (1) Renaming "stored value" as "prepaid access" and defining that term; (2) deleting the terms "issuer and redeemer" of stored value; (3) imposing registration, suspicious activity reporting and customer information recordkeeping requirements on providers of prepaid access, and new transactional recordkeeping requirements on both providers and sellers of prepaid access; and (4) exempting certain categories of prepaid access products and services posing lower risks of money laundering and terrorist financing from certain requirements.

FinCEN recognizes that the Credit CARD Act of 2009 mandated the increased regulation of prepaid access, as well as the consideration of the issue of international transport, and we will address these mandates, either through regulatory text or solicitation of comment in this rulemaking.  In the course of our regulatory research into the operation of the prepaid industry, we have encountered a number of distinct issues, such as the appropriate obligations of payment networks and financial transparency at the borders, and we anticipate future rulemakings in these areas.  We will seek to phase in any additional requirements, however, as the most prudent course of action for an evolving segment of the money services business (MSB) community.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FinCEN, a bureau of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury), is proposing to revise the regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regarding reports of foreign financial accounts.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FinCEN is issuing this interim final rule to amend 31 CFR 103.176- Due diligence programs for correspondent accounts for foreign financial institutions- to incorporate additional relevant factors for a covered financial institution to consider when assessing the money laundering risks presented by correspondent accounts for foreign financial institutions.  The incorporation of these additional relevant factors is a result of a congressional mandate to prescribe regulations under the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010.  Consequently, this amendment is clarifying that as part of their due diligence programs, covered financial institutions need to take reasonable steps to determine whether the Secretary of the Treasury has found that a foreign financial institution, for which they maintain a correspondent account, is knowingly engaging in prohibited Iranian activities as described in the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Surety Companies Doing Business With the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury (Treasury), Financial Management Service (FMS), administers the Federal corporate surety program.  Treasury issues certificates of authority to qualified sureties to underwrite and reinsure Federal bond obligations.

Congress delegated to Treasury the discretion to issue a certificate if Treasury decides the suretys articles of incorporation authorize it to engage in the business of surety, the corporation has the requisite paid-up capital, cash, or equivalent assets, and the corporation is able to carry out its contracts.

Treasury publishes the list of certified sureties in Department Circular 570, which is available online at www.fms.treas.gov/c570.  Federal bond-approving officials consult and rely on this list whenever a corporate surety bond is presented to an agency because bonds underwritten by Treasury-certified sureties satisfy bonding requirements, provided such bonds are accepted by agency bond-approving officials.

FMS is proposing to amend its regulation to clarify the circumstances when an agency bond-approving official can decline to accept a bond underwritten by a Treasury-certified surety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Government Participation in the Automated Clearing House</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service (FMS), is amending its regulation governing the use of the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system by Federal agencies.  The amendments adopt, with some exceptions, the ACH Rules developed by NACHA--The Electronic Payments Association (NACHA), as the rules governing the use of the ACH Network by Federal agencies.  FMS is issuing this rule to address changes that NACHA has made to the ACH Rules since the publication of NACHA's 2007 ACH Rules book.  These changes include new requirements to identify all international payment transactions using a new Standard Entry Class Code and to include certain information in the ACH record sufficient to allow the receiving financial institution to identity the parties to the transaction and to allow for screening transactions for compliance with Office of Foreign Assets Control requirements.

In addition, the amendments (1) streamline the process for reclaiming post-death benefit payments from financial institutions; (2) require financial institutions to provide limited account-related customer information related to the reclamation of post-death benefit payments as permitted under the Payment Transactions Integrity Act of 2008; and (3) modify previous FMS guidance regarding the requirement that non-vendor payments be delivered to a deposit account in the name of the recipient.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service (FMS), is amending its regulation that describes the responsibilities of Federal agencies and recipients with respect to the electronic delivery of Federal payments and establishes the circumstances under which waivers from the electronic funds transfer (EFT) requirement are available.  Federal law requires that, unless waived by the Secretary of the Treasury, all Federal payments, other than payments made under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, must be made electronically, that is, by EFT.  The rule generally requires individuals to receive Federal nontax payments by EFT, effective March 1, 2011.  Individuals receiving Federal payments by check on the effective date, however, may continue to do so until February 28, 2013.

For Federal benefit recipients, this means that individuals who apply for Federal benefits on or after January 1, 2011, would receive their benefit payments by direct deposit.  Individuals who do not choose direct deposit of their payments to an account at a financial institution would be enrolled in the Direct Express® Debit MasterCard® card program, a prepaid card program established pursuant to terms and conditions approved by FMS.  Beginning on March 1, 2013, all recipients of Federal benefit and other non-tax payments would receive their payments by direct deposit, either to a bank account or to a Direct Express® card account.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Fill for Wine and Distilled Spirits</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB is proposing to revise its regulations to require the disclosure of the presence of cochineal extract and carmine on the labels of all alcohol beverage products.  This proposed rule responds to a recent Final Rule issued by the Food and Drug Administration as well as reports of severe allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, to cochineal extract and carmine-containing foods.  This proposal would allow consumers who are allergic to cochineal extract and carmine to identify and thus avoid alcohol beverage products that contain these color additives.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB is issuing a temporary rule to amend temporary regulations promulgated under the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009.  The amendments to the temporary regulations involve (1) an extension of the use-up period for packages of pipe tobacco and roll-your-own tobacco that do not conform to the new notice requirements, (2) a delay in the application of the new tax classification rule for products that do not bear the required "pipe tobacco" declaration, and (3) a minor textual correction.]]></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>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 "Yamhill-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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) intend to amend the TTB regulations with regard to the classification and labeling of pipe tobacco and roll-your-own tobacco for Federal excise tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  The purpose of this advance notice is to invite comments from the public to assist us in preparing a notice of proposed rulemaking which will propose regulatory amendments to clarify the existing statutory definitions and set forth objective product classification criteria to reduce possible revenue losses through misclassification of pipe tobacco and roll-your-own tobacco.]]></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>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>

Conditions of the bond would be amended to no longer require the merchandise to be labeled as seized and detained for the principal to be required to obtain permission from CBP prior to placing the merchandise on board a conveyance for export or otherwise disposing of the merchandise.  Instead of the condition being applicable when CBP labels merchandise, the condition would be applicable when CBP notifies the principal, either in writing or electronically, that the merchandise has been seized or detained.]]></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 U.S.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>CBP&apos;s Bond Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to reflect CBP's planned centralization of the continuous bond program at the CPB's Revenue Division.  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.  Additionally, the proposed changes update provisions to accommodate the use of information technology and modern business practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Country of Origin of Textile and Apparel Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment of the CBP regulations to update, restructure, and consolidate the regulations relating to the country of origin of textile and apparel products.  Amendments reflect changes brought about, in part, by the expiration on January 1, 2005, of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing and the resulting elimination of quotas on the entry of textile and apparel products from World Trade Organization members.  The primary regulatory change is the elimination of the requirement that a textile declaration be submitted for all importations of textile and apparel products.  In addition, to improve the quality of reporting of the manufacturer of imported textiles and apparel products, the amendments include a requirement that importers identify the manufacturer of such products through a manufacturer identification code.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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[This document proposes to amend title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) pertaining to the method by which U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issues courtesy notices of liquidation.  Courtesy notices of liquidation provide informal, advanced notice of the liquidation date and are not required by statute.  Currently, CBP provides an electronic and a paper courtesy notice for importers of record whose entry summaries are electronically filed in the Automated Broker Interface (ABI).  In efforts to streamline the notification process and reduce printing and mailing costs, CBP proposes to discontinue mailing paper courtesy notices of liquidation to importers of record whose entry summaries are filed in ABI.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 1-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>Entry Requirements for Certain Softwood Lumber Products Exported From Any Country Into the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. The Act also established new recordkeeping requirements applicable to certain imports of softwood lumber home packages and kits that are subject to declaration requirements, but that are not subject to the softwood lumber importer declaration program of section 803 of the Act.]]></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>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[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' 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>

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 corporation's attribute reduction amount.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations provide standards that clarify when tax-exempt bonds are treated as reissued or retired for purposes of sections 103 and 141 through 150 or the Internal Revenue Code.  Generally, the regulations will address federal tax issues with respect to reissuance that have arisen as a result of problems in the auction rate sector of the tax-exempt bond market.  The regulations will also address several arbitrage issues that have also arisen in the same market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document contains proposed regulations 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. 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).  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>Reporting and Notice Requirements for Deferred Vested Benefits Under Section 6057</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since the 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 to replace Schedule 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 to replace Schedule SSA be filed in place of the Schedule SSA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disclosure of Returns and Return Information to Designee of Taxpayer</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6103(c) provides that, subject to the requirements and conditions set forth by the Secretary in the regulation, returns and return information may be disclosed to persons designated by the taxpayer in a request for or consent to disclosure.  The Treasury Regulation under section 6103(c) sets out the requirements for such disclosures to designees.  26 CFR 301.6103(c)-1(b).  An authorization for disclosure must include the following items in a written document pertaining solely to the authorization: (1) The taxpayer's identity (name, address, taxpayer identifying number) that enables the IRS to clearly identify the taxpayer; (2) the identity of the person to whom disclosure is to be made; (3) the type of return or return information to be disclosed; and (4) the taxable year or years covered by the return or return information.  26 CFR 301.6103(c)-1(b)(1).  The taxpayer must sign and date the written document.  

The current regulation bars disclosure of a return or return information unless the written request for or written consent to disclosure is received by the IRS (or an agent or contractor of the IRS) within 60 days following the date upon which the written request was signed and dated by the taxpayer.  26 CFR 301.6103(c)-1(b)(2).  

The revised final regulation will extend the period for submission to the IRS of taxpayer authorizations permitting disclosure of returns and return information pertaining to section 6103(c).  Specifically, the revised final regulation extends from 60 days to 120 days the period within which a signed and dated authorization must be received by the IRS (or an agent or contractor of the IRS) in order for it to be effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Imposition of Tax on Gifts and Bequests from Expatriates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 17, 2008, under section 301 of the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008, Congress created a new Chapter 15 of the Internal Revenue Code and added section 2801. This new provision imposes a tax on a U.S. citizen or resident receiving a covered gift or bequest during the calendar year.  A covered gift or Bequest is a gift or bequest received from a covered expatriate, with certain exceptions. The tax is calculated by multiplying the value of the total covered gifts and bequests received during the year, reduced by the section 2503(b) amount, by the highest estate tax rate (or gift tax rate if higher) for the taxable year. On July 20, 2009, the Treasury Department and IRS issued Announcement 2009-57, which states that the Treasury Department and IRS intend to issue guidance under section 2801 and New Form 708, and that such guidance will provide the due date for filing and paying the section 2801 tax.]]></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>

The regulations will provide guidance regarding the application of this section. The change in the statute was necessitated by the repeal of "General Utilities."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Coordination of United States and Certain Possessions Income Taxes (Temporary)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Internal Revenue Code section 7654 contains provisions for coordination of U.S. and certain possessions income taxes. Specifically, section 7654 provides for "cover over" of the net collection of taxes imposed under chapter 1 or deducted and withheld under chapter 24. Section 7654 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 provides specific rules for cover over with regard to the possessions American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
  
Section 7654 of the 1954 Code, as amended in 1972 by Public Law 92-606, provides specific rules for cover over with regard to the possessions Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI). Section 7654 of the 1954 Code remains applicable to Guam and the NMI because neither of these two possessions has an effective implementing agreement with the United States, in accordance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, Public Law 99-514.
  
The regulations will provide rules under both the 1954 Code and the 1986 Code versions of section 7654.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dye Injection of Diesel Fuel and Kerosene</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>Election of Reduced Credit</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>

        <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[These regulations specify the IRS officials who are required to perform specific duties with respect to church tax inquiries and examinations under section 7611. The amendments in these regulations are being made to clarify the existing final regulations, which make reference to positions that were abolished by the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 1998).  The amendments are also being made following a district court opinion in a summons enforcement proceeding that concluded the official to whom the IRS delegated the section 7611 responsibilities, formerly held by a regional commissioner, is not an appropriate official for purposes of executing those responsibilities.  U.S. v. Living Word Christian Center, Civil No. 08-mc-37, D.C. Minn. (Jan. 30, 2009).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Regarding Deferred Discharge of Indebtedness Income of Corporations and Deferred Original Issue Discount Deductions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 17, 2009, as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009, Congress enacted section 108(i).  Section 108(i)  provides an election for deferral of discharge of indebtedness income (deferred COD income) arising in connection with a reacquisition of an applicable debt instrument in 2009 and 2010. The deferred COD income generally is includible in gross income ratably over a 5-taxable-year period, beginning with the taxpayers fourth or fifth taxable year following the taxable year of the reacquisition. Section 108(i)(5)(D) requires a taxpayer to accelerate any remaining deferred items of COD income following a valid section 108(i) election in certain circumstances. Proposed regulations under section 108(i) will provide guidance to C Corporations regarding the acceleration of deferred discharge of indebtedness and deferred original issue discount deductions under section 108(i).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Procedure and Administration regulations relating to Code section 6103(j)(1) formerly permitted disclosure of (1) the total number of documents reported on Form 1096 transmitting Forms 1099-MISC, and (2) the total amount reported on Form 1096 transmitting Forms 1099-MISC. At the request of the Census Bureau, the Treasury Department removed these items from the list of items authorized to be disclosed (See TD 9372, 72 FR 73262 [Dec. 27, 2007]). Since then, the Census Bureau had determined that these items of return information provide critical data about contract labor. Because of the strong need for these data, this regulation will authorize disclosure of this return information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of General Accepted Accounting Principle (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>

A contingent at closing escrow is, generally, established in connection with the sale or exchange of real or personal property to hold assets that will be distributable to the purchaser or seller based on the post-closing resolution of bona fide contingencies.  The rules require the purchaser or seller to take into account all items of income and deduction for Federal income tax purposes.]]></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>

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>

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>

        <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>

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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Basis Reporting by Securities Brokers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes new and amended regulations under 26 CFR part 1 to provide guidance regarding the requirement that brokers begin reporting the basis of securities sold by customers on Form 1099-B.  The requirement for basis reporting was added by section 403 of the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 enacted on October 3, 2008.  The Act also amended section 1012 to provide new rules for determining the basis of certain securities subject to the new reporting requirements. The new reporting requirements and basis rules generally begin to take effect on January 1, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Regarding Deferred Discharge of Indebtedness Income of Corporations and Deferred Original Issue Discount Deductions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 17, 2009, as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009, Congress enacted section 108(i).  Section 108(i)  provides an election for deferral of discharge of indebtedness income (deferred COD income) arising in connection with a reacquisition of an applicable debt instrument in 2009 and 2010. The deferred COD income generally is includible in gross income ratably over a 5-taxable-year period, beginning with the taxpayers fourth or fifth taxable year following the taxable year of the reacquisition. Section 108(i)(5)(D) requires a taxpayer to accelerate any remaining deferred items of COD income following a valid section 108(i) election in certain circumstances. Temporary regulations under section 108(i) will provide guidance to C corporations regarding the acceleration of deferred discharge of indebtedness and deferred original issue discount deductions under section 108(i).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disclosures of Return Information to Officers and Employees of the Department of Commerce for Certain Statistical Purposes and Related Activities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document adopts final regulations that authorize the IRS to disclose an additional item of return information requested by the Secretary of Commerce on the ground that this information is necessary for the Bureaus annual Survey of Industrial Research and Development. In addition, Procedure and Administration regulations relating to Code section 6103(j)(1) formerly permitted disclosure of: 

     (1)  The total number of documents reported on Form 1096 transmitting Forms  1099-MISC, and 
     (2) the total amount reported on Form 1096 
     (3) transmitting Forms 1099-MISC
  
At the request of the Census Bureau, the Treasury Department removed these items from the list of items authorized to be disclosed (See TD 9372, 72 Fed. Reg. 73262 [Dec. 27, 2007]).  Since then, the Census Bureau had determined that these items of return information provide critical data about contract labor.  Because of the strong need for these data, this regulation will authorize disclosure of this return information.]]></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).  Subsequently, 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 final rule on September 24, 2007.  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 that seek to avail themselves of the specific exceptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternatives to the Use of External Credit Ratings in the Regulatory Capital Guidelines of the Federal Banking Agencies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the agencies) are seeking to gather information as they begin to work toward revising their regulations to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act). Section 939A of the Act requires all federal agencies to review their regulations that reference or require the use of credit ratings to assess the creditworthiness of an instrument.  In addition, the Act further directs the agencies to remove such requirements that refer to or rely upon credit ratings, and to substitute in their place uniform standards of creditworthiness.]]></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 mid 2010, savings associations eligible for the market risk rule would adjust their risk-based capital ratios to reflect market risk.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The banking agencies issued an NPRM implementing the Standardized Approach to credit risk and approaches to operational risk that are contained in the Basel II Framework.  73 FR 43982 (July 29, 2008).  Banking organizations would be able to elect to adopt these proposed revisions or remain subject to the agencies' existing risk-based capital rules, unless the banking organization used the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework described above.  The comment period closed October 27, 2008. The banking agencies are planning to issue a second NPRM.]]></ABSTRACT>

First, the proposed rule would clarify the existing authority of Federal savings associations to engage in securities broker, dealer, and underwriting activities under the Home Owners' Loan Act (HOLA) and add a requirement to notify OTS when beginning to conduct certain securities activities.  Second, the proposed rule would reflect amendments that provided savings associations the same exemptions from the registration and reporting requirements available to banks under various provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and made OTS the appropriate regulatory agency for savings associations and savings and loan holding companies engaging in certain securities activities.  Third, it would add a notice requirement for certain securities activities conducted by savings associations.  Finally, OTS proposes to update the existing prohibition on the sale of debt and equity securities issued by a savings association or its affiliates at the offices of a savings association.  The proposed rule would add new exceptions to this prohibition and eliminate consumer protection rules that overlap and in some cases conflict, with other agency guidance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimum Capital Ratios: Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Treatment of Certain Claims On, or Guaranteed By, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Banking Agencies are proposing to amend their respective general risk-based capital rules to permit banks, bank holding companies, and savings associations to assign a 10 percent risk weight to claims on, or guaranteed by, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.  Claims include all credit exposures, such as senior and subordinated debt and counterparty credit risk exposures, but do not include preferred or common stock.  The comment period closed January 26, 2008, and the proposal is still pending final action by the Agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS, together with the OCC, Federal Reserve, and FDIC issued a proposed rule to implement an amendment made to CRA by the Higher Education Opportunity Act.  The amendment requires the Agencies to consider as a factor in CRA evaluations low-cost education loans provided by an institution to low-income borrowers and to issue an implementing rule by August 14, 2009. The Agencies also proposed to codify in the rule existing question and answer guidance on considering as a factor capital investment, loan participation, and other ventures undertaken by non-minority-owned and non-women-owned financial institutions in cooperation with minority and women-owned financial institutions and low-income credit unions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This joint rulemaking would implement section 204 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.  Section 204 directs the OCC, FRB, FDIC, and OTS to establish recordkeeping requirements for banks relying on exceptions to the definitions of "broker" and "dealer" contained in paragraphs (4) and (5) of section 3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Pursuant to section 101 of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006, the SEC and the FRB jointly published final rules to implement the "broker" provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act on October 3, 2007.  The rulemaking to implement section 204 of the GLB Act commenced upon the adoption of a final rule by the SEC and the FRB.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Risk-Based Capital Standards:  Market Risk</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal banking agencies are developing a proposal to revise their market risk capital rules to better capture positions for which the market risk capital rules are appropriate; reduce procyclicality in market risk capital requirements; enhance the rules sensitivity to risks that are not adequately captured under the current regulatory measurement methodologies; and increase transparency through enhanced disclosures.  This joint proposal will incorporate much of the Federal banking agencies' 2006 notice of proposed rulemaking, as well as further revisions to the international market risk framework (and associated guidance) published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in July 2009.  These publications include Revisions to the Basel II Market Risk Framework, Guidelines for Computing Capital for Incremental Risk in the Trading Book, and Enhancements to the Basel II Framework.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regarding Alternatives to the Use of External Credit Ratings in the Regulatory Capital Guidelines of the Federal Banking Agencies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires agencies to review their regulations that require the use of an assessment of credit-worthiness of a security or money market instrument and make reference to, or have requirements regarding, credit ratings.  The agencies must modify their regulations to remove any reference to, or requirements of reliance on, credit ratings in such regulations and substitute in their place other standards of credit-worthiness that the agencies determine to be appropriate for such regulations.  The Federal banking agencies are issuing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking describing the areas in their risk-based capital standards, as well as changes to those standards proposed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, that make reference to credit ratings and requesting comment on potential alternatives to the use of credit ratings.]]></ABSTRACT>

The agencies are also required to remove references or requirements of reliance on credit ratings and to substitute an alternative standard of credit-worthiness.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC proposed 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 also would 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Basel II Standardized Approach</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In July 2008, the Federal banking agencies proposed a new risk-based capital 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 Measures and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework," published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS).  Following the close of the comment period for the 2008 NPR, the agencies decided to delay finalizing the standardized framework to address challenges posed by the global financial crisis.  After considering the comments on the 2008 NPR, the agencies have decided to withdraw the 2008 NPR and propose a new NPR that would implement in the United States, with certain modifications, the standardized framework for credit risk and related disclosure requirements.  Consistent with the 2008 NPR, this NPR generally will parallel the relevant approaches in the BCBS framework; however, it will diverge from the BCBS framework where the U.S. markets have unique characteristics and risk profiles, notably the treatment for residential mortgage exposures, and will provide for a more conservative capital treatment for selected risks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, FRB, FDIC, and OTS are revising their rules implementing the Community Reinvestment Act. The revision would incorporate into their rules statutory language that requires the agencies, when assessing an institution's record of meeting community credit needs, to consider as a factor low-cost education loans provided by the financial institution to low-income borrowers. The revision also would incorporate statutory language that allows the agencies, when assessing an institution's record of meeting community credit needs, to consider as a factor capital investment, loan participation, and other ventures undertaken by non-minority-owned and non-women-owned financial institutions in cooperation with minority- and women-owned financial institutions and low-income credit unions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Capital Magnet Fund</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Capital Magnet Fund (CMF) was established through the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (the Act), Public Law No. 110-289, section 1131, as a trust fund whose appropriation will be used to carry out a competitive grant program administered by the CDFI Fund.  Through the CMF, the CDFI Fund is authorized to make financial assistance grants to certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and Nonprofit Organizations (if one of their principal purposes is the Development or management of Affordable Housing).  CMF grants must be used to attract financing for and increase investment in: (i) the Development, Preservation, Rehabilitation, and Purchase of Affordable Housing for primarily Extremely Low-, Very Low-, and Low-Income Families; and (ii) Economic Development Activities or Community Service Facilities (such as day care centers, workforce development centers, and health care clinics) which In Conjunction With Affordable Housing Activities will implement a Concerted Strategy to stabilize or revitalize a Low-Income Area or Underserved Rural Area.  This proposed rulemaking creates the requirements and parameters for CMF implementation and administration including, among others, application eligibility, application review, award selection, Assistance Agreements, eligible uses of award dollars and related funds, Awardee reporting, and compliance monitoring.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Release of Information From Department of Veterans Affairs Records</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to revise Department of Veterans Affairs (VA or Department) regulations governing the confidentiality and release of VA records subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552,  including the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996, Public Law 104-231 (October 2, 1996) (E-FOIA Act), and the Openness Promotes Effectiveness in our National Government Act of 2007, Public Law 110-175, 121 stat. 2524 (Openness in Government Act). This proposed rule sets forth a mechanism for the public to obtain information from the VA and is intended to maximize public availability of VA records to the extent permitted by law.  Essentially these provisions will consist of restatements of statute, interpretations of statute, interpretations of Executive Orders, and clarification. The proposed amendments also implement the E-FOIA Act, the Openness in Government Act and Executive Branch guidance issued since the regulations were originally published.
	Further, this document proposes to delegate authority to the Assistant General Counsel for Professional Staff Group IV for making final Departmental decisions on appeals under the FOIA, the Privacy Act, and 38 U.S.C. 5701 and 5705.  This will simplify decision-making by allowing the highest level individual with direct responsibility for information law subject matter to issue decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

These proposed changes would allow the Secretary to promptly institute administrative relief to ensure that claimants and beneficiaries are not deprived of their rights or benefits when natural or man-made emergencies disrupt normal procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Schedule for Rating Disabilities; Primary Amyloidosis (AL Amyloidosis)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Schedule for Rating Disabilities (rating schedule) by updating the list of disease conditions of the Hemic and Lymphatic System (38 CFR 4.117) to include primary amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis).  This regulatory action is necessary to include AL amyloidosis as one of the disease conditions in section 4.117 and establish criteria for disability evaluation to fully implement the decision by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs granting presumptive service connection for this disease.  The intended effect is to provide consistency in disability rating and ease of tracking AL amyloidosis for statistical analysis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulation concerning the calendar date that VA must receive an initial application for a State Home Construction Grant in order for the application to be included on the priority list for the award of grants during the next fiscal year.  We propose to require that initial application materials must be received by VA on April 15, and not August 15, of the year before the fiscal year in which the application would be considered for inclusion on the priority list for the award of grants.  The purpose of this change is to ensure that VA has sufficient time to process all applications received.  We also propose technical revisions to conform with this proposed revision.]]></ABSTRACT>

Currently, VAs medical foster home program, whenever possible and appropriate, relies upon existing regulations that govern community residential care facilities; however, these existing regulations do not adequately or appropriately cover all aspects of medical foster homes, which provide community based care in a smaller, residential facility.  The proposed rules reflect current VA policy and practice, and generally conform to industry standards and expectations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Per Diem Paid to States for Care of Eligible Veterans in State Homes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to reorganize, update (based on revisions to statutory authority), and clarify its regulations that govern paying per diem to State Homes providing nursing home and adult day health care to eligible veterans.  The reorganization will improve consistency and clarity throughout VAs State Home programs.  We propose to revise the regulations applicable to adult day health care programs so that states may establish socially based programs; currently, we require states to use a medical model.  We expect that these liberalizing changes will increase the number of states who have such programs.  We also propose to establish new regulations governing paying per diem to State Homes providing domiciliary care to eligible veterans, because the current regulations govern State Home hospital care and domiciliary care, and we believe that the domiciliary program will benefit from having regulations specifically tailored to its needs.  Moreover, we no longer provide per diem to State Homes for hospital care.  In general, this rulemaking is consistent with current regulations and policies, and we do not expect that these proposed rules would have a negative impact on State Home facilities; rather, we believe that these proposed regulations will clarify current law and policy, which should improve and simplify the payment of per diem to State Homes, and encourage participation in VAs programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its Appeals Regulations of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) to articulate the Boards practice of referring pending, unadjudicated claims to the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) for appropriate action, and to describe when it is appropriate for the Board to remand a claim to the AOJ for the limited purpose of issuing a Statement of the Case (SOC).  This rulemaking also amends the Boards Rules of Practice to outline the procedures the Board must follow when supplementing the record with a recognized medical treatise, and to remove the notice procedures the Board must currently follow when considering law not considered by the AOJ.  The purpose of these amendments is to codify existing practices derived from case law, enhance efficiency, and provide guidance and clarification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements portions of the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-461) and Executive Order 13360, Providing Opportunities for Service-Disabled Veteran Businesses To Increase Their Federal Contracting and Subcontracting.  These actions provide special methods for VA to contract with service-disabled, veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and veteran-owned small business (VOSB).  According to this rule, a contracting officer in the Department or Veterans Affairs may restrict competition for a requirement to SDVOSBs or VOSBs under certain conditions.  Likewise, sole source contracts to SDVOSB or VOSB are permitted under certain conditions.  The rule implements these special acquisition methods as a change to the Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR). A final rule will be published to finalize the interim protest provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Paralympics Monthly Assistance Allowance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[VA will be establishing regulations for a newly created benefit (the Paralympics monthly assistance allowance).  Title VII, section 703, Public Law 110-389, the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2008, provides the majority of rules for this new benefit and specifies that the amount of the allowance shall be equal to the monthly amount of subsistence allowance that would be payable to the Veteran under chapter 31 of title 38 and that the Secretary shall give priority for this allowance to Veterans with service-connected disabilities.  Additionally, the law authorizes up to $2 million for this new allowance for each of fiscal years 2010 through 2013.

This regulation will have an economic impact.  The Department of Veterans Affairs FY 2010 budget has a separate line item of $2 million appropriated for this allowance.  The outyears through 2013 will also have this $2 million budget request.  If approved for each of the four fiscal years, VA payments for this allowance could reach as high as $8 million.  The allowance will be used to provide economic incentive to enable Veterans to train for positions on the U.S. Paralympic Team.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is a joint issuance between Treasury, SSA, VA, RRB, and OPM to implement statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments.  The rule will establish procedures that financial institutions must follow when a garnishment order is received for an account into which Federal benefit payments have been directly deposited.  The rule will require financial institutions that receive a garnishment order for an account to determine whether any Federal benefit payments were deposited to the account within 60 calendar days prior to receipt of the order and, if so, will require the financial institution to ensure that the account holder has access to an amount equal to the sum of such payments in the account.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>VA Veteran-Owned Small Business Verification Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule implements portions of the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-461), section 8127(f). This law requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to verify ownership and control of veteran-owned small businesses, including service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses. According, a contracting officer in the Department of Veterans Affairs may restrict competition for a requirement to a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) or to a veteran-owned small business (VOSB) when such companies are listed as "verified" in the VetBiz.gov Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database.  The final rule defines the eligibility requirements for businesses to obtain "verified" status, explains examination procedures, and establishes records retention and review processes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations regarding VA's duty to notify a claimant of the information and evidence necessary to substantiate a claim.  The proposed revision would provide consistency and promote efficiency of the adjudication process.  The purpose of this amendment is to implement the Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2008.  Section 101(a) of the Act amended 38 U.S.C. 5103 by adding subsection (a)(2), which requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to prescribe in regulations requirements relating to the content of notice to be provided under that section, including different content for notice based on the type of claim filed, the type of benefits or services sought under the claim, and the general information and evidence required to substantiate the basic elements of each type of claim.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations concerning "reasonable charges" for medical care or services provided or furnished by VA to a veteran for a nonservice-connected disability.  More specifically, we are amending the regulations regarding charges billed for prescription drugs not administered during treatment by changing the billing formula to reflect actual VA's actual drug costs for each drug rather than our current practice of using a national average drug cost for all prescriptions dispensed.  The revised formula for calculating "reasonable charges" for prescription drug costs would also continue to include an average administrative cost for each prescription.  The purpose is to provide VA with a more accurate billing methodology for prescription drugs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Copayments for Medications After June 30, 2010</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical regulations concerning the copayment required for certain medications.  Under current regulations, the copayment amount must be increased based on the prescription drug component of the Medical Consumer Price Index (CPI-P), and the maximum annual copayment amount must be increased when the copayment is increased.  Under the amendments in this rule, until January 1, 2012, we will freeze copayments at the current rate for veterans in VA's health care system enrollment priority categories 2 through 6 and increase copayments as required by the current regulation only for veterans in priority categories 7 and 8.  Thereafter, if VA does not prescribe a new methodology for increasing copayments, we will resume increasing copayments in accordance with any change in the CPI-P.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>State Cemetery Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations governing grants to States to establish, expand, and improve State veterans cemeteries.  We will 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) (Pub. L. 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 is amending 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>

The rule will implement the first statute's provisions granting limited authority to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (Secretary) to terminate collection action on certain debts arising from a VA benefit program when the indebted individual is a member of the Armed Forces or a veteran who dies as a result of injury incurred or aggravated in the line of duty while serving in a theater of combat operations in a war or in combat against a hostile force during a period of hostilities after September 11, 2001, and to refund amounts collected after the individual's death. The rule will also implement the second statute's provisions that similarly grants the Secretary discretionary authority to suspend or terminate collection of debts owed to VA by individuals who died while serving on active duty as a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard during a period when the Coast Guard is operating as a service in the Navy, and to refund amounts collected after the individual's death.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends its adjudication regulations governing service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by liberalizing in some cases the evidentiary standard for establishing the required in-service stressor. This amendment will eliminate the requirement for corroborating that the claimed in-service stressor occurred if a stressor claimed by a veteran is related to the veteran's fear of hostile military or terrorist activity and a VA psychiatrist or psychologist confirms that the claimed stressor is adequate to support a diagnosis of PTSD, provided that the claimed stressor is consistent with the places, types, and circumstances of the veteran's service and that the veteran's symptoms are related to the claimed stressor. This amendment takes into consideration the current scientific research studies relating PTSD to exposure to hostile military and terrorist actions. It is intended to acknowledge the inherently stressful nature of the places, types, and circumstances of service in which fear of hostile military or terrorist activities is ongoing. With this amendment, the evidentiary standard of establishing an in-service stressor would be reduced in these cases. This amendment is additionally intended to facilitate the timely VA processing of PTSD claims by simplifying the development and research procedures that apply to these claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its adjudication regulations concerning presumptive service connection for certain diseases for which there is no record during service.  This amendment is necessary to implement a decision of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs that there is a positive association between exposure to herbicides and the subsequent development of hairy-cell leukemia and other chronic B-cell leukemias, Parkinsons disease and ischemic heart disease.  The intended effect of this amendment is to establish presumptive service connection for these diseases based on herbicide exposure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oklahoma Regional Haze Federal Implementation Plan (FIP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is under a consent decree with Wild Earth Guardians to either propose approval of a State Implementation Plan (SIP), or propose approval of a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP), or some combination to satisfy the visibility prong of the transport requirements for Oklahoma under section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by November 10, 2010, with a final decision by May 10, 2011. 

EPA's plan is to satisfy that requirement using the Regional Haze SIPs. The agency currently has a Regional Haze SIP that was submitted by Oklahoma. However, EPA expects to propose disapproval of the SIP on grounds that it does not include Sulfur dioxide (SO2) controls for six coal fired power plants. The Oklahoma SIP did not require SO2 controls based on the company's projections of the expected cost of the controls. In the analysis submitted by Oklahoma in their Regional Haze SIP revision, they determined that the installation of the scrubbers would be technologically feasible, and the only factor leading them to their decision to not require the installation of these scrubbers at the 6 power plants in question is cost-effectiveness. However, EPA's internal analysis indicates the power company's cost estimates were too high. Based on our preliminary assessment of Oklahomas cost analysis for the six SO2 scrubbers, Oklahomas Regional Haze SIP is not approvable. The ultimate decision of cost effectiveness is made by EPA. Should EPA conclude, in the final decision, that the controls are in fact cost effective and should be installed, the agency is obligated to promulgate its own plana FIP that would require those controls. 

EPA estimates, based on 90% control and using 2006-2008 data, that the installations of scrubbers on the six coal fired power plant units would prevent 58,768 tons of SO2 from being emitted annually. The total SO2 emission budget for Oklahoma, based on 2002 data (most recent available) is 170,021 tons. Therefore, the scrubber installations would reduce by about 35 percent Oklahoma's annual SO2 emissions. It is believed that these controls would result in substantial visibility benefits at several Class I areas. This amount of SO2 reduction would also have significant health benefits to the citizens of Oklahoma and adjoining areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation To Establish No Discharge Zone in California State Waters Under CWA 312(f)(4)(A)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Based upon a 2005 California law, the State Water Resources Control Board asked EPA to designate California waters as a No Discharge Zone (NDZ) for sewage from cruise ships and ocean-going vessels with adequate holding capacity. The State, local environmental groups, and California delegation all strongly support establishment of such an NDZ, as it would offer additional water quality protection to the California coast. There are two novel aspects of this proposed NDZ. All existing NDZs prohibit all sewage from all vessels; however, the California request applies to only a subset of all vessels. No existing NDZ established under 312(f)(4)(A) applies to all state waters either. Only two NDZs have been established under 312(f)(4)(A): Minnesota Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.]]></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>

        <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 electronically, primarily from NPDES permittees with some data required 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[As the NPDES program and information technology have evolved in the past several decades, the Permit Compliance System (PCS), EPA's NPDES national data system, which has been in use since 1985, has become increasingly ineffective in meeting the full scope of EPA's and individual State's needs to manage, direct, oversee, and report on the implementation and enforcement of the NPDES program. Therefore, a NPDES component of EPA's existing Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS), ICIS-NPDES, was designed and constructed based upon EPA and State input to manage data for the full breadth of the NPDES program. This rulemaking would identify essential NPDES-specific information EPA needs to receive from NPDES agencies (authorized States and tribes, as well as EPA Regions). This information will be managed by EPA in a format compatible with the new NPDES component of the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS) in order to better enable EPA to ensure the protection of public health and the environment, effectively manage the national NPDES permitting and enforcement program, identify and address environmental problems, and ultimately replace PCS. This action would be of interest primarily to NPDES permittees, NPDES-authorized states, and to the public at large, which would ultimately have increased access to this NPDES information.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[In 1972, Congress passed the Clean Water Act to "restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters." 33 U.S.C. 1251(a). The Clean Water Act established a comprehensive program for protecting and restoring our Nations waters. The Clean Water Act prohibits the discharge of pollutants from a point source to waters of the United States except when authorized by a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The Clean Water Act established the NPDES permit program to authorize and regulate the discharges of pollutants to waters of the United States. EPA has issued comprehensive regulations that implement the NPDES program at 40 CFR parts 122 to 125, 129 to 133, 136, and subpart N.

Under the NPDES permit program, point sources subject to regulation may discharge pollutants to waters of the United States subject to the terms and conditions of an NPDES permit. With very few exceptions (40 CFR 122.3), point sources require NPDES permit authorization to discharge, including both municipal and industrial discharges. NPDES permit authorization may be provided under an individual NPDES permit, which is developed after a process initiated by a permit application (40 CFR 122.21), or under a general NPDES permit, which, among other things, applies to one or more categories of dischargers (e.g., oil and gas facilities, seafood processors) with the same or substantially similar types of operations and the same effluent limitations, operating conditions, or standards for sewage sludge use or disposal [40 CFR 122.28(a)(2)].
 
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has the primary responsibility to ensure that the NPDES program is effectively and consistently implemented across the country, thus ensuring that public health and environmental protection goals of the CWA are met. Many States and some territories have received authorization to implement and enforce the NPDES program, and EPA works with its State partners to ensure effective program implementation and enforcement. CWA section 304(i)(2) directs EPA to promulgate guidelines establishing the minimum procedural and other elements of a State, territory, or tribal NPDES program, including monitoring requirements, reporting requirements (including procedures to make information available to the public), enforcement provisions, and funding, personnel qualifications, and manpower requirements [CWA section 304(i)(2)].

EPA published NPDES State, territory, and tribal program regulations under CWA section 304(i)(2) at 40 CFR part 123. Among other things, the part 123 regulations specify NPDES program requirements for permitting, compliance evaluation programs, enforcement authority, sharing of information, transmission of information to EPA, and noncompliance and program reporting to EPA.

This proposed rulemaking may add some specificity to those particular regulations regarding what NPDES information is required to be submitted to EPA by States and may modify other regulations to require electronic reporting of NPDES information by NPDES permittees to the States and EPA.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[For this proposed rulemaking, EPA has determined that the need for EPA's receipt of such NPDES information exists. If, for whatever reason, electronic reporting by permittees is not a feasible option for certain NPDES information, the obvious alternative would be for EPA to require States to provide that information to EPA. The States already receive that information from the permittees, and therefore, they have the information that EPA seeks.

Within the rulemaking process itself, various alternatives are under consideration based on the feasibility of particular electronic reporting options. For example, EPA may consider establishing requirements for electronic reporting of discharge monitoring reports by NPDES permittees. Under this proposed rulemaking, EPA may consider establishing similar requirements for any or all of the following types of NPDES information: Notices of intent to discharge (for facilities seeking coverage under general permits), permitting information (including permit applications), various program reports (e.g., pretreatment compliance reports from approved local pretreatment programs, annual reports from concentrated animal feeding operations, biosolids reports, sewage overflow incident reports, annual reports for pesticide applicators, annual reports for municipal storm water systems), and annual compliance certifications.
 
Some States might also raise the possibility of supplying only summary-level information to EPA rather than facility-specific information to EPA. Based upon considerable experience, EPA considers such alternative non-facility-specific data to be insufficient to meet its needs, except in very particular situations or reports.
One alternative that EPA may consider for rule implementation is whether third-party vendors may be better equipped to develop and modify such electronic reporting tools than EPA.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The economic analysis for this proposed rulemaking has not yet been completed; therefore, the dollar values of estimated costs and benefits are not yet known. However, some generalizations can still be made regarding expectations. EPA anticipates that electronic reporting of discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) by NPDES permittees will provide significant data entry cost savings for States and EPA. These discharge monitoring reports are already required to be submitted by NPDES permittees to States and EPA, which in turn currently enter that information into the State NPDES data system or EPA's national NPDES data system. These discharge monitoring reports contain significant amounts of information regarding pollutants discharged, identified concentrations and quantities of pollutants, discharge locations, etc. Through electronic reporting by permittees, States, and EPA will no longer have associated data entry costs to enter this information. Electronic reporting by NPDES permittees of other NPDES information (such as notices of intent to discharge or various program reports) may also yield considerable data entry savings to the States and EPA.

In addition, some States have been able to quantify savings by the permittees to electronically report their NPDES information using existing electronic reporting tools. Such savings are being examined in the economic analysis process for this rulemaking.

Additional benefits of this rule will likely include improved transparency of information regarding the NPDES program, improved information regarding the national NPDES program, improved targeting of resources and enforcement based on identified program needs and noncompliance problems, and ultimately improved protection of public health and the environment.

Some NPDES information will need to be reported by States to EPA; therefore, there will be some data entry costs associated with that information, but it will likely be far less than the savings that will be realized by States through electronic reporting by NPDES permittees. In addition, EPA will likely have sizable costs to develop tools for electronic reporting by permittees, as well as operation and maintenance costs associated with those tools.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Given the scope of this proposed rulemaking, the most significant risks associated with this effort may be those if EPA does not proceed with this rulemaking. At this point, EPA does not receive sufficient NPDES information from the States to be able to fully assess the implementation of the national NPDES program nor the smaller subprograms. Such information is not currently required by EPA from the States, and the lack of such reporting requirements perpetuates this problem. Furthermore, EPA does not have facility-specific information regarding most of the facilities regulated under the NPDES program, and therefore, EPA cannot easily identify potential implementation problems or noncompliance problems. This lack of information may adversely impact EPA's ability to better ensure the protection of public health and the environment, nationally and locally.

A potential risk associated with this rule may involve EPA efforts to develop electronic reporting tools for use by permittees. The costs associated with the internal development of such tools, possibly for multiple types of NPDES information from various types of NPDES permittees, and the future costs of operation and maintenance may be substantial for EPA, possibly impacting the availability of funding for other purposes. Furthermore, EPA would also need to determine the feasibility of ensuring that the electronic tools can be flexible enough to meet State needs and work well with State data systems. Problems in the development and maintenance of these electronic tools could pose significant risks for the effective implementation of this rule.]]></RISKS>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarify TRI Reporting Obligations Under EPCRA Section 313 for Metal Mining Activities</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 Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) section 313. EPA is considering clarifying how the definitions of manufacturing and processing under EPCRA section 313 apply to the mining sector processes of extraction and beneficiation. This action will not affect the coal extraction activities exemption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRI: Intent to Consider Lifting Administrative Stay Regarding Hydrogen Sulfide Reporting Requirements; Opportunity for Public Comment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition from the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Governor of New York, hydrogen sulfide, along with 20 other chemicals and two chemical categories, was added to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) section 313 list of toxic chemicals as part of a 1993 final rule (December 1, 1993, 58 FR 63500). Hydrogen sulfide was listed under the criteria of EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(B) based on chronic neurotoxic effects in humans and under EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(C) based on acute aquatic toxicity. However, on August 22, 1994 (59 FR 43048), EPA issued an Administrative Stay of the EPCRA section 313 reporting requirements for hydrogen sulfide.

Some members of the regulated community expressed concern that the specific basis for listing hydrogen sulfide under EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(B) changed between the proposed rule (September 8, 1992, 57 FR 41020) and the final rule (December 1, 1993, 58 FR 63500) and that they did not have an opportunity to comment on the final basis for the addition under EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(B). Although the statutory basis for the determination did not change, the Agency did cite chronic neurotoxic effects in the final rule and chronic respiratory effects in the proposed rule as the specific effects of concern. In addition, charges were made that EPAs decision not to include evidence of exposure in deciding to list hydrogen sulfide on the basis of chronic human health effects was inconsistent with past Agency practice. EPA did not agree that it had been inconsistent in its use of exposure analysis in EPCRA section 313 listings, but felt that the public deserved an opportunity to be presented with further clarification of the Agencys position on this issue. Therefore, the Agency decided to issue an administrative stay of the reporting requirements for hydrogen sulfide in order to allow for additional time to review these issues. EPA stated that a subsequent Federal Register notice would provide a mechanism for the public to comment on the specific basis for listing hydrogen sulfide as well as providing a more complete discussion of use of exposure analysis in EPCRA section 313 listing decisions. This action is the subsequent Federal Register notice. EPA will take comments on its latest hazard assessment for hydrogen sulfide and EPAs intent to consider lifting the administrative stay.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action was suspended on May 22, 2007 at the request of the petitioner. If resumed, this action will respond to a petition received by EPA to delete chromium, antimony, titanate 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. Chromium, antimony, titanate is reportable under the chromium and antimony compound categories, the deletion of this chemical would eliminate all the reporting requirements under the Toxic Chemical Release Reporting Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Toxics Release Inventory; Addition of National Toxicology Program Carcinogens</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Toxicology Program (NTP) periodically publishes its Report on Carcinogens (RoC) which classifies chemicals as either known to be a human carcinogen or reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. The RoC is a congressionally mandated scientific and public health document that provides data on carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and biologic mechanisms. The RoC evaluations are performed by scientists from the NTP, other Federal health research and regulatory agencies, and nongovernmental institutions. The RoC review process includes external peer review and public comment.

EPA reviewed the 11th edition of the NTP RoC to identify those chemicals that are not currently on the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) list and that have not previously been reviewed for listing. EPA proposed to add to the TRI list, those NTP carcinogens that had sufficient production or use levels such that the Agency expects that TRI reports will be filed. EPA is reviewing comments received on the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Centralized Waste Treatment Industry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2000, EPA promulgated effluent limitations for the Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) Point Source Category at 40 CFR 437 (65 FR 81241, December 22, 2000). A CWT facility treats or recovers hazardous or non-hazardous industrial waste, wastewater, or used material from off-site. The regulation established wastewater discharge standards for three major types of wastes: metal-bearing, oily, and organic. EPA issued a Small Entity Compliance Guide, which provides easy-to-read descriptions of the regulations and other helpful information on how to comply such as a question and answer section. 

Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, on April 26, 2010, EPA initiated a review of the rule to determine if it should be continued without change, or should be rescinded or amended to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities (75 FR 21882). As part of this review, EPA is considering, and has solicited comments on, the following factors: (1) the continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. The comment period closed July 31, 2010. The Docket ID number is EPA-HQ-OW-2010-0169. EPA will summarize the results of this review in a report and place that report in the rulemaking docket referenced above. You can access that docket at www.regulations.gov. 

EPA continues to view the effluent limitations for the CWT category as a necessary component of the comprehensive program to restore and maintain the quality of our Nations waters. EPA intends to continue to require compliance with the regulation. Until and unless the Agency modifies the rule, the discharges described in 40 CFR 437.1 remain subject to the final rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations; Arsenic and Clarifications to Compliance and New Source Contaminants Monitoring</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 22, 2001, EPA revised the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for arsenic to 0.010 mg/L (10.0 µg/L). This regulation applies to non-transient non-community water systems and to community water systems (66 FR 6976). While EPA has taken steps to evaluate and mitigate impacts on small entities as part of the promulgation of the Arsenic Rule, this new entry in the regulatory agenda announces that EPA will review the National Primary Drinking Water Rule (NPDWR) for arsenic pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610). As part of this 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. Comments must be received within 60 days of this notice. In submitting comments, please reference Docket ID EPA-HQ-OW-2010-0728 and follow the instructions provided in the preamble to this issue of the Regulatory Agenda. This docket can be accessed at www.regulations.gov.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Stormwater Regulations Revision To Address Discharges From Developed Sites</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Stormwater discharge from developed areas is a major cause of degradation of surface waters. This is true for both conveyance of pollutants and the erosive power of increased stormwater flow rates and volumes. Current stormwater regulations were promulgated in 1990 and 1999. In 2006, the Office of Water asked the National Research Council (NRC) to review the stormwater program and recommend ways to strengthen it. The NRC Report, which was finalized in October 2008, found that the current stormwater program "is not likely to adequately control stormwater's contribution to waterbody impairment" and recommended that EPA take action to address the harmful effects of stormwater flow. This proposed action would establish requirements for, at minimum, managing stormwater discharges from newly developed and re-developed sites, to reduce the amount of pollutants in stormwater discharges entering receiving waters by reducing the discharge of excess stormwater. This action may also expand the scope of municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) required to be regulated under NPDES permits, to include rapidly developing areas and to cover some discharges that are not currently regulated. The Phase I and Phase II MS4 regulations might also be combined and amended, and may include provisions for retrofitting existing development.  In order to comply with the Executive order issued by President Obama on Mat 12, 2010, that among other things, require EPA to identify ways to strengthen stormwater management practices within the Bay watershed in order to restore and protect the Bay and its tributaries.  EPA plans to include in this proposed rulemaking a separate section containing additional stormwater provisions for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Water Quality Standards Regulatory Clarifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing a targeted set of changes to the water quality standards (WQS) regulation to improve its effectiveness in helping restore and maintain the Nations waters. The core of the current WQS regulation has been in place since 1983, and provides limited guidance on recurring issues, resulting in unresolved issues that reoccur with different fact patterns and resolved issues that are not codified for future use. The proposed rule will provide clarity in the following six key areas: 1) antidegradation, 2) Administrators determination, 3) uses, 4) variances; 5) triennial review scope and requirements, and 6) updating regulation to reflect court decisions. EPA expects to publish a proposed rule in the Federal Register in summer 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to update specific elements of the existing NPDES regulations in order to better harmonize regulations and application forms, improve permit documentation and transparency and provide clarifications to the existing regulations. This effort will deal with any legacy application, permitting, monitoring, and reporting requirements that have become obsolete or outdated due to programmatic and technical changes that have occurred over the past 20 years. Specifically, the focus will be on revising the NPDES permit application forms to specifically include all final agency data standards, improve the consistency between the application forms, update the applications to better reflect current program practices, and specifically incorporate new program areas into the forms (e.g. CWA section 316(b) requirements for cooling water intake structures). This endeavor will also deal with other program elements including permit documentation procedures to improve the quality and transparency of permit development.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Criteria and Standards for Cooling Water Intake Structures</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. 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 decisionmaking but not holding that the Agency must consider costs and benefits in these decisions. In June 2006, EPA promulgated the Phase III regulation, covering existing electric generating plants using less than 50 MGD of cooling water, new offshore oil and gas facilities, and all existing manufacturing facilities. Petitions to review this rule were filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. EPA has asked for, and was granted a partial voluntary remand of the determinations in the Phase III regulation concerning existing facilities, in order to issue a regulation that addresses both Phase II and III existing facilities. EPA expects this new rulemaking would apply to the approximately 1,200 existing electric generating and manufacturing plants.]]></ABSTRACT>

On February 16, 2004, EPA took final action on regulations governing cooling water intake structures at certain existing power producing facilities under section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act (Phase II rule). 69 FR 41576 (Jul. 9, 2004). These regulations were challenged , and the Second Circuit remanded several provisions of the Phase II rule on various grounds. Riverkeeper, Inc. v. EPA, 475F.3d83, (2d Cir., 2007). EPA suspended most of the rule in response to the remand. 72 FR 37107 (Jul. 9, 2007). The remand of Phase III does not change permitting requirements for these facilities.

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The technologies under consideration in this rulemaking are similar to the technologies considered for the original Phase II and Phase III rules. Those costs evaluated for the Phase II remanded rule, in 2002 dollars, ranged from $389 million (the final rule option) to $440 million (the final rule option at proposal) to $1 billion to $3.5 billion (closed cycle cooling for facilities on certain waterbodies, or at all facilities). The monetized benefits of the original final rule were estimated to be $82 million. The monetized benefits include only the use value associated with quantifiable increases in commercial and recreational fisheries. Non-use benefits were not analyzed. The costs and benefits of the Phase III option most closely aligned with the Phase II option co-promulgated were $38.3 million and $2.3 million respectively, in 2004 dollars. EPA will develop new costs and benefits estimates for this new effort.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will develop a notice of proposed 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>Amendment to Effluent Guidelines for Primary Aluminum Smelting Subcategory of the Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing Point Source Category</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering an amendment to 40 CFR 421 to create updated discharge standards for those primary aluminum smelters that use both wet and dry scrubbing of their air emissions. As currently written, allowances exist for individual contributions to effluent discharges from a variety of processes present at primary aluminum smelter. These allowances include one for wastewater contributions resulting from the wet scrubbing of sulfur dioxide from potline emissions (40 CFR 421.23(n)). As the Agency continues to strengthen the regulation of air pollution from aluminum smelters, it is increasingly likely that higher wastewater pollutant concentrations from these wet scrubbers will result. The State of New York has identified a facility that exhibits just this problem with the discharge of fluoride, as a result of interference by sulfur captured by the facilitys wet scrubber. The extent of this problem is such that the facility is unable to comply with its fluoride effluent limit. An amendment of the current effluent guideline is a possible means to resolve this tension and make it easier for the Agency and regulated entities to manage cross-media effects.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is under a Consent Decree deadline to promulgate numeric nutrient water quality criteria (which are elements of water quality standards) for the State of Florida's estuaries and coastal waters, flowing waters in south Florida (including canals), and the downstream protection values for flowing waters into estuaries by August 15, 2012. The Consent Decree states that EPA will sign for publication in the federal register proposed criteria for these three categories by November 14, 2011 and will sign for publication in the federal register a final rule by August 15, 2012. EPA made a determination on January 14, 2009 that numeric nutrient water quality criteria are necessary for the state to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act (CWA).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Withdrawal of Certain Federal Aquatic Life Water Quality Criteria Applicable to Wisconsin</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1997, Wisconsin developed revised water quality criteria to comply with the 1995 Great Lakes Initiative, a multi-state comprehensive plan to restore the health of the Great Lakes Basin. In 2000, EPA disapproved a subset of Wisconsins criteria, including its chronic and acute aquatic life criteria for copper and nickel, and chronic aquatic life criteria for endrin and selenium. As a result of the disapproval, EPA promulgated standards in 2000 to address chronic and acute aquatic life criteria for copper and nickel (40 CFR section 132.6(f)) and chronic aquatic life criteria for endrin and selenium (40 CFR section 132.6(g)) to apply to the waters of the Great Lakes System in the State of Wisconsin. Wisconsin began rulemaking in January 2008 to address the six aquatic life criteria for these four pollutants and in December 2008, the State finalized its criteria. EPA approved Wisconsins aquatic life water quality criteria on July 1, 2009, with the exception of the chronic aquatic life criterion for selenium for waters designated by Wisconsin as Limited Forage Fish aquatic life use. EPA is proposing to withdraw its aquatic life criteria for chronic and acute copper and nickel (40 CFR section 132.6(f)) and chronic endrin (40 CFR section 132.6(g)) in all surface waters of Wisconsin. EPA is also proposing to revise the chronic aquatic life criterion for selenium (40 CFR section 132.6(g)) to apply exclusively to areas designated by Wisconsin as Limited Forage Fish aquatic life use. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has adequately demonstrated that its aquatic life water quality criteria for copper (acute and chronic), nickel (acute and chronic), endrin (chronic), and selenium (chronic) protect all waters of the state at a level consistent with the federal requirements under the Clean Water Act, with the exception of selenium (chronic) in Limited Forage Fish waters. The proposed federal regulation withdrawal will enable Wisconsin to implement its EPA-approved aquatic life criteria in all marine waters of the State.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR 3) for Public Water Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish criteria for a program to monitor not more than 30 unregulated contaminants every five years. EPA published the first group of contaminants in the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (i.e., UCMR 1), which established a revised approach for UCMR implementation, in the Federal Register dated September 17, 1999 (64 FR 50556), and the second list of unregulated contaminants (UCMR 2) in the Federal Register dated January 4, 2007 (72 FR 367).

        <RULE_TITLE>Water Quality Standards (Numeric Nutrient Criteria) for Florida&apos;s Lakes and Flowing Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is under a Consent Decree deadline to promulgate numeric nutrient water quality criteria (which are elements of water quality standards) for the State of Florida's lakes and flowing waters by October 15, 2010. EPA made a determination on January 14, 2009 that numeric nutrient water quality criteria are necessary for the state to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act (CWA). In June 2010, EPA and Plaintiffs filed a joint notice with the Court extending the deadlines for promulgating numeric nutrient criteria for Florida's estuaries and coastal waters , flowing waters in south Florida (including canals), and the downstream protection values for flowing waters into estuaries. The new deadlines are November 14, 2011 for proposing the estuarine and coastal waters criteria, and August 15, 2012 for publishing a final rule for these three categories. The original deadline of October 15, 2010 remains in place for EPA to finalize numeric nutrient criteria for Florida's lakes and other flowing waters (streams and springs).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for Airport Deicing Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In EPAs 2004 Effluent Guidelines plan, the agency announced that it 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would amend "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants" at 40 CFR part 136 to approve test procedures (analytical methods) for use by testing laboratories for water monitoring. These test procedures are used to implement the NPDES program unless an alternate procedure is approved by a Regional Administrator. The regulation would also revise, clarify, and correct errors and ambiguities in existing methods and the water monitoring regulations.]]></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 2010 Plan will describe the results of the 2010 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 2010 Plan will also summarize activities and accomplishments for studies of categories that were identified in the 2008 Final Plan.]]></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 a key climate change mitigation technology. During GS, CO2 captured from an emission source such as a coal-fired electric power plant, is injected 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 (UIC) Programs in processing permit applications for pilot and other demonstration-scale GS projects as Class V UIC experimental technology wells. In addition, EPA committed to developing a long term management framework for permitting commercial scale GS projects. Part of this long term management framework included regulations for owners and operators of wells injecting CO2. New regulations for GS wells would provide a consistent framework for permitting GS wells to ensure that CO2 injection does not endanger underground sources of drinking water. EPA proposed regulations for GS wells on July 25, 2008. In addition, in August 2009 EPA published a Notice of Data Availability that presented new information and data related to GS.]]></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. The regulations also 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>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 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (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 NRDC v. U.S. EPA, 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 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 direct final rule will (1) remove the codified 2006 rule from the Code of Federal Regulations consistent with the court vacatur and (2) codify the revised 2005 Energy Policy Act definition of "oil and gas exploration, production, processing, treatment, and transmission operations" to clarify that certain uncontaminated discharges from oil and gas construction activities are exempt from permitting as identified in section 402(I)(2) of the Clean Water Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for the Analysis of Co-Planar and Mono-Ortho-Substituted Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Under the Clean Water Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposal would amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR parts 136 and 503 to approve EPA Method 1668 for the congener-specific determination of co-planar and mono-ortho-substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in effluent, ambient water, and 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 promulgated 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 (such as bilge water) have the potential to introduce oil or other organics into receiving waters; some (such as hull coating leachate) have the potential to introduce copper or other metals; and some (such as ballast water) have the potential to introduce nonindigenous invasive aquatic species. Phase II will establish performance standards for control devices for these 25 discharges. The Phase II performance standards will be promulgated in five "batches." Each batch will address several performance standards. Once DOD implements rules for achieving the standards set in Phase II, covered discharges from Armed Forces vessels will be required to meet these standards, and will not be subject to discharge standards established by States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Statement of Policy -- NPDES Permit Requirements for Peak Wet Weather Discharges From Publicly Owned Treatment Work Treatment Plants Serving Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems</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>

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>Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA establishes national technology-based regulations, called effluent guidelines, to reduce discharges of pollutants from industries to waters of the U.S. and publicly owned treatment works. These requirements are incorporated into National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge permits issued by EPA and states. The steam electric effluent guidelines apply to steam electric power plants using nuclear or fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. There are about 1,200 nuclear- and fossil-fueled steam electric power plants nationwide; approximately 500 of these power plants are coal-fired. In a study completed in 2009, EPA found that the current regulations, which were last updated in 1982, do not adequately address the pollutants being discharged and have not kept pace with changes that have occurred in the electric power industry over the last three decades. The rulemaking will address discharges from ash ponds and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) air pollution controls, as well as other power plant waste streams. Power plant discharges can have major impacts on water quality, including reduced organism abundance and species diversity, contamination of drinking water sources, and other effects. Pollutants of concern include metals (e.g., mercury, arsenic and selenium), nutrients, and total dissolved solids.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Regulations for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA and authorized states administer the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), as revised by nationally-applicable rules in 2003 and 2008. On May 12, 2009, President Barack Obama issued Executive Order 13508 on Chesapeake Bay Protection and Restoration. Agriculture is the single largest contributor of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment pollution to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Manure is the source of about half of the nutrient loading from agriculture. As directed under the Executive Order, EPA developed a strategy, in consultation with the States and key stakeholders, for protecting water quality in the Chesapeake Bay. The proposed action might establish broader regulatory authority in the Bay and additional requirements for manure management for CAFOs in the Bay. Consistent with the draft joint federal strategy, the scope of the proposed rule may consider expanding the universe of CAFOs and requiring more stringent standards for permits (e.g. better nutrient management planning). Additionally, options for a streamlined designation process of smaller facilities as CAFOs and better off-site manure management may be considered for the Bay or nationally. During the rulemaking process, EPA will consider how effectively Chesapeake Bay states strengthen their pollution control programs to achieve the reductions in nutrient and sediment pollution needed to meet Bay water quality standards. The Chesapeake Bay CAFO Rule is being developed to ensure Regional and State Water NPDES Permitting Authorities have sufficient tools to reduce discharges of manure from these facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA promulgated a set of short-term regulatory revisions and clarifications on October 10, 2007, to strengthen implementation of the existing Lead and Copper Rule. In developing the short-term revisions, EPA identified several regulatory changes to be considered as part of identifying more comprehensive changes to the rule. These considerations are longer-term in nature as they require additional data collection, research, analysis, and stakeholder involvement to support decisions. This action addresses the remaining regulatory revisions to be completed in the 2013 timeframe. Regulatory changes to be addressed may include changes to flushing guidance and sample collection following a partial lead service line replacement; lead service line replacement programs; potential changes to the sample site selection criteria for lead and copper sites; guidance on new corrosion control treatments; tap sampling issues including pre-stagnation flushing, aerator removal, and maximum stagnation times; and consecutive water systems.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Underground Injection Control: Update of State Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations at 40 CFR part 147 codify each State's UIC program description and incorporates by reference the rules and regulations that the respective primacy state will implement. This includes codifying programs upon which EPA directly implements. The primary reason for part 147 is to incorporate by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations the State program authorities and regulations so EPA may bring a direct enforcement action if the state fails to comply with the state UIC program. 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 EPA will merely be incorporating by reference elements of already approved State programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations (NSDWR): Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and Technical Corrections to the NSDWR</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) was primarily used as an automobile fuel additive, introduced in the late 1970s during lead phase-out as an octane enhancer. Production increased 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. At least 25 states passed laws banning or limiting MTBE use, and MTBE use declined after 1999. Refiners removed MTBE from gasoline in 2006. Although most drinking water 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. The original TCR, promulgated in 1989, protects human health by requiring microbial monitoring in drinking water distribution systems. Since then, EPA has gained a better understanding of total coliforms as an indicator of contamination in the distribution system. EPA convened a Federal Advisory Committee to recommend revisions to the TCR. In September 2008, members of the Federal Advisory Committee signed an agreement in principle (AIP), which recommended revisions to the TCR, as well as research and information collection needed to better understand potential public health impacts from conditions in the distribution system and control of microbial drinking water contamination. In accordance with commitments EPA agreed to in the AIP, EPA has drafted a proposed rule that has the same elements and effects as the recommendations in the AIP. The proposed rule requires water systems to find and fix pathways to contamination when monitoring results indicate that microbial contamination is present, develops specific criteria for public water systems to qualify for and stay on reduced monitoring, and aims to improve consumer understanding and confidence by making required public notices about the drinking water quality more meaningful.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Perchlorate Regulatory Determination</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires EPA to make determinations every five years of whether to regulate at least five contaminants on its Contaminant Candidate List (CCL). A regulatory determination is a formal decision on whether EPA should initiate a rulemaking process to develop a national primary drinking water regulation for a specific contaminant. EPA included perchlorate on the first and second CCLs that were published in the Federal Register on March 2, 1998 (63 FR 10273) and February 24, 2005 (70 FR 9071). On October 10, 2008, EPA published a preliminary regulatory determination for perchlorate in drinking water (73 FR 60262). EPA received comments from over 32,000 individuals and organizations in response to this notice. EPA has reviewed the information in these comments and has re-evaluated the scientific information regarding the perchlorate regulatory determination. To assure transparency in its decision making process, on August 19, 2009, EPA published a supplemental request for comments on its re-evaluation of the scientific data (74 FR 41883). EPA will make a final determination for perchlorate after review and consideration of public comments received on the supplemental request for comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Shore Protection Act, Section 4103(b) Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance for Implementing the Methylmercury Water Quality Criterion</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>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Radionuclides</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 7, 2000 (65 FR 76708), EPA promulgated final revised and/or new national primary drinking water regulations (NPDWRs) for nonradon radionuclides as authorized by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). In this action, referred to as the Radionuclides Rule, EPA promulgated maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs), maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), monitoring, reporting, and public notification requirements for gross alpha particle activity, combined radium-226 and 228, beta particle and photon activity and uranium. The Radionuclides Rule became effective on December 8, 2003.

Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, EPA has reviewed this rule to determine if it should be continued without change, or should be rescinded or amended to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities. This review was announced in the Regulatory Agenda on April 26, 2010 (75 FR 21883). As part of this review, EPA considered, and solicited comments on, the following factors: (1) The continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule.

EPA received five comment letters. The results of EPAs review have been summarized in a report and placed in the rulemaking docket (docket number EPA-HQ-OW-2010- 0166 at www.regulations.gov). These results are briefly summarized here.

There was consensus among the commenters about the continued need for the Radionuclides Rule, because it serves as an important tool to protect the health of people who get their drinking water from public systems using sources of water with high levels of radionuclides.

While none of the commenters expressed a need to rescind the rule, most of the comments were aimed at suggesting that the Agency make clarifications in certain areas of the rule to aid small entities in its rule compliance. 

After reviewing all the comments regarding this Section 610 review the Agency has concluded that revisions or amendments to the Radionuclides rule are not warranted at this time. However, EPA is evaluating the need to provide additional guidance and clarification on those issues raised by the commenters to assist in the rule implementation.

The Agency bases its decision to not revise or amend the rule at this time on the analysis conducted during the promulgation of the rule which were aimed at reducing economic burden on small entities. Among the measures that the Agency took to minimize impacts on small entities are: (1) The selection of a less stringent MCL for uranium, (2) a reduction in the overall monitoring frequencies for systems with radionuclides levels less than the MCL, (3) allowance of grandfathered data and State monitoring discretion for determining the initial monitoring baseline, and (4) the exclusion of nontransient, non-community water systems from the radionuclides regulations.

EPA will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of the Radionuclides rule and the potential to decrease the rules implementation burden within the framework provided by the SDWA and other agency initiatives. 

EPA continues to view the NPDWRs for radionuclides as important to ensure and protect the health of consumers served by public drinking water systems and intends to continue to require compliance with these NPDWRs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 the event of an accident. EPA is considering a rule proposing revisions to the TPQ for solids in solution. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 25, 2008, EPA published a proposed rule under the Safe Drinking Water Act Underground Injection Control Program to create a new class of injection wells (Class VI) for geological sequestration (GS) of carbon dioxide (CO2). 73 FR 43492. In response to that proposal, EPA received numerous comments asking for clarification on how the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste requirements apply to CO2 streams. EPA is now considering a proposed rule under RCRA to explore a number of options, including a conditional exemption from the RCRA requirements for hazardous CO2 streams in order to facilitate implementation of GS, while protecting human health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revising Underground Storage Tank Regulations--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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) has proposed to amend the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule to exempt milk containers and associated equipment and appurtenances on farms and in other dairy operations subject to the Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) requirements or a State dairy regulatory requirement equivalent to the current applicable PMO. Additionally EPA has requested comment on alternative approaches to address facilities that may have milk containers and associated piping and appurtenances. This proposal addresses concerns raised specifically by the dairy farm sector on the applicability of the SPCC requirements to milk containers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identification of Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials That Are Solid Wastes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency has proposed to define which non-hazardous secondary materials burned in combustion units are solid wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This in turn will assist the Agency in determining which non-hazardous secondary materials will be subject to the emissions standards proposed under sections 112 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). If the secondary material is considered a "solid waste," the unit that burns the non-hazardous secondary material would be subject to the 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPA is preparing to establish new emission standards under CAA sections 112 and 129. In order to establish these new emission standards, EPA must determine at the federal level which non-hazardous secondary materials are considered "solid waste." The meaning of solid waste for purposes of these CAA standards is of particular importance since CAA section 129 states that the term "solid waste" shall have the meaning "established by the Administrator."]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[EPA is promulgating this regulation under the authority of sections 2002(a)(1) and 1004(27) of RCRA, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a)(1) and 6903(27). Section 129(a)(1(D) of the CAA directs EPA to establish standards for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators (CISWI), which burn solid waste (CAA sec. 129(g)(6), 42 U.S.C. 7429). Section 129(g)(6) provides that the term, solid waste, is to be established by EPA under RCRA. Section 2002(a)(1) of RCRA authorizes the Agency to promulgate regulations as are necessary to carry out the functions under the Act. The statutory definition of "solid waste" is provided in RCRA section 1004(27).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposes an "Alternative Approach" that is broader than the proposed solid waste definition. This alternative may be adopted in the final rule, if warranted by information presented during the public comment period or otherwise available in the rulemaking record. Under this alternative, most non-hazardous secondary materials that are burned in a combustion unit would be considered solid wastes. Only fuels or ingredients that are combusted and remain within the control of the generator and met the legitimacy criteria would not be solid wastes under this alternative. This approach would not allow discarded materials processed into new product fuels to be considered as non-wastes, or allow for a petition process. This approach would expand the universe of non-hazardous secondary materials that would be considered to be solid wastes, and thus subject to CAA section 129. The proposed rule also takes comment on an approach that would classify all non-hazardous secondary materials that are burned in combustion units as solid wastes.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule specifies criteria under which non-hazardous secondary materials are considered solid wastes. Although the final rule will determine which section of the CAA under which a given combustion unit is regulated, this rule itself will not include any emission standards and will not require changes in the management or use of secondary materials. Only with the promulgation of the respective rules developed within EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) would society realize the costs, benefits, and other impacts. These impacts, therefore, are attributed entirely to the rules being developed by OAR.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Air emission risks will be reduced as a result of the current promulgation of three-related rules developed by OAR and this rule. However, material diversion risks may increase under certain limited scenarios.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste; Removing Saccharin and Its Salts From the Lists of Hazardous Constituents, Hazardous Wastes, and Hazardous Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition submitted by the Calorie Control Council (CCC), EPA proposed to remove 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). 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, the Agency does not believe saccharin and its salts meet any other criteria for remaining on the above specified lists.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 18, 2010, EPA published a Direct Final Rule (Hazardous Waste Technical Corrections and Clarifications Rule) that promulgated a number of amendments to the hazardous waste regulations for hazardous waste identification, manifesting, the generator requirements, as well as changes to the hazardous waste permit and interim status standards. These changes corrected existing errors in the hazardous waste regulations that have occurred over time as a result of typographical errors or incorrect citations to paragraphs and other references. On June 16, 2010, all of the amendments to the Direct Final Rule went into effect, except for six amendments which were withdrawn (June 4, 2010) because adverse comments were received. The planned final rule will address the six withdrawn amendments by responding to the adverse comments received and finalizing the appropriate changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; Subpart J Product Schedule Listing Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA 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/or change protocols for adding a product to the Product Schedule, effectiveness and toxicity testing. These changes, if finalized, will help ensure protection of the environment when these products are used to clean up and mitigate oil spills (1) into or upon navigable waters, adjoining shorelines, the waters of the contiguous zone, or (2) which may affect natural resources belonging to or under the exclusive management authority of the United States. Further, the Agency is considering proposed changes to 40 CFR 110.4 regarding the use of dispersants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Contingency Plan Revisions To Align With the National Response Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this regulation is to revise the National Contingency Plan (NCP) to align it with the National Response Framework (NRF). 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 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>Standards for the Management of Coal Combustion Residuals Generated by Commercial Electric Power Producers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is for the development of regulations for coal combustion residuals (formerly coal combustion waste). The regulations will apply to the management of coal combustion residuals that are generated by steam electric power generators, i.e., electric utilities and independent power producers and are disposed of in landfills and surface impoundments. 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 announcing the availability for public inspection and comment new information and data on the management of coal combustion residuals. The Agency considered these comments in developing the proposed rule regarding the regulation of coal combustion residuals under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Agency issued a proposed rule on June 21, 2010, in which the Agency co-proposed two approaches- one which would regulate coal combustion residuals under subtitle C of RCRA as a "special waste" and one under subtitle D of RCRA as a non-hazardous waste. Under both approaches, coal combustion residuals that are beneficially used would remain Bevill exempt.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Comprehensive Guideline for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is required 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 (CPGs). EPA has also issued a Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN) with each CPG that provides recommendations on buying the designated items. EPA also reviews existing CPG product designations for effectiveness, obsolescence, and consistency with the biobased products designation program, environmentally preferable purchasing program, and Energy Star and energy efficient products program. A CPG for Nylon Carpet was originally proposed in 2001. A Notice of Data Availability was issued asking for additional 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>Standards for the Safe and Environmentally Protective Placement of Coal Combustion Residuals 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 residuals (CCRs) for filling surface or underground coal mines, referred to as minefilling, not regulated under SMCRA. CCRs are byproducts 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 CCRs in coal mines. NRC recommended that OSM and/or EPA promulgate enforceable federal regulations governing the minefilling of CCRs. In response to the NRC study, OSM published on Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Placement of CCRs 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. 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>

        <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 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 (EPA Form 8700-22). The manifest form revisions were decoupled from action on the electronic manifest, and the Final Form Revisions Rule was published in the Federal Register on June 16, 2005. The May 2001 electronic manifest proposed rule was a standards-based decentralized approach under which EPA would establish and maintain the standards that would guide the development of electronic manifest systems by private sector entities that chose to participate in the system. However, since publication of the May 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 this final rule will depend on the passing of legislation that would provide EPA with authority to collect and retain user charges for the payment of the development and operation costs related to the eManifest system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Universal Waste Rule: Addition of Pharmaceuticals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 2, 2008, EPA proposed to add hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to the federal universal waste program. The universal waste regulations streamline the collection requirements for specified hazardous wastes over current Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste requirements. Even if included under the universal waste program, pharmaceutical universal wastes will still need to be sent to destination facilities that must comply with the applicable requirements for treatment, storage and disposal facilities under the full hazardous waste regulations. Finally, because this rule is less stringent than current RCRA hazardous waste regulations, authorized states are not required to modify their programs to adopt this regulation, if finalized.]]></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 wipes that are disposed of 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 are disposed of in a municipal solid waste landfill. A Notice of Data Availability was published in the Federal Register to allow the public the opportunity to comment on the revised risk analysis. A determination will be made on finalizing the rule after any required revisions to the risk analysis are completed and completion of an environmental justice analysis. If finalized, this regulation will impact the management of two types of solvent-contaminated wipes: (1) wipes disposed of in land disposal units or by combustion after use, and (2) wipes that are laundered after use to remove the solvent and then are used again.]]></ABSTRACT>

EPA is also responding to other elements of the rulemaking petition in this notice. Finally, in response to separate comments received from petroleum industry representatives, EPA is considering proposing a rule to help encourage consistent levels of recycling of spent hydrotreating and hydrorefining catalysts, in a manner that protects human health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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. [Note: This rule will not be proposed until EPA receives additional legislative authority regarding the e-Manifest system, and the system is developed and operational.] We plan to do this by proposing to: (1) substitute the BR data with the more-timely data from the eManifest system and (2) 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. 

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This emergency temporary final rule suspends certain oil spill response time requirements and notification requirements for certain facilities and vessels. This rule provides oil spill removal organizations (OSROs), and facilities and vessels with their own response resources, with the ability to relocate response resources from current locations to the Gulf of Mexico to aid in the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This action facilitates the participation of OSROs, facilities and vessels located outside of the Gulf region. This temporary final rule is effective until December 31, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act; 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 in August 2000. Since the part 1400 regulations restrict the public's access to the OCA sections of RMPs in certain ways, the Agency has decided to withdraw an effort to revise 40 CFR part 68 to reflect the August 2000 rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>SPCC Compliance Date Extension</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 13, 2009, EPA amended the Spill Prevention Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) rule. The amendments completed the SPCC action proposed on October 15, 2007 (72 FR 58378), finalized on December 5, 2008 (73 FR 74236), and for which the Agency considered public comments again in February 2009 (74 FR 5900, February 3, 2009). However, EPA recognizes that because of the changes in this action, and specifically provisions that have been removed from the December 2008 Amendments, facilities may need additional time to comply with the SPCC amendments. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the final amendments to the December 5, 2008 rule and the delay of the effective date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revise: Cooperative Agreements and Superfund State Contracts for Superfund Response Actions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[40 CFR part 35 subpart O prescribes requirements for administering cooperative agreements awarded to states, Native American tribes, and political subdivisions to conduct remedial actions, non-time-critical removal actions, pre-remedial activities, and other response activities authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 104(a)-(j). In addition, subpart O prescribes requirements for the Superfund State Contract that is necessary whenever EPA or a political subdivision is the lead agency for a CERCLA remedial action. Subpart O rules were originally promulgated on June 5, 1990 and revised May 2, 2007. The Agency revised the May 2, 2007 rule to further reduce the recipients' burden by allowing quarterly and semiannual progress reports to be due in 60 days, instead of 30 days. Also, under a Superfund State Contract, the recipient may request the EPA for any overpayment of cost share from one site be applied to meet the cost share requirement of another site. These revisions will improve the administration and effectiveness of Superfund Cooperative Agreements and Superfund State Contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Withdrawal of Expansion of RCRA Comparable Fuels Exclusion</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA promulgated the withdrawal of the ECF (emission comparable fuel) exclusion on June 15, 2010. These are fuels produced from hazardous secondary materials which, when burned in industrial boilers under specified conditions, generate emissions that are comparable to emissions from burning fuel oil in those boilers. EPA withdrew the ECF conditional exclusion because ECF appears to be better regarded as being a discarded material and regulated as a hazardous waste. The exclusions for comparable fuel and synthesis gas fuel are not addressed or otherwise affected by this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identifying the Universe of Government Research in Laboratories and Determining Student Involvement in Generating Laboratory Hazardous Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Academic Laboratory Rulemaking was published on December 1, 2008. At the time of the rulemaking, the Agency did not have sufficient information about student populations in government research laboratories to include government research laboratories in the applicability of the final Laboratories Rule. Therefore, the Agency had planned to publish a Notice of Data Availability making available the data we have on government research laboratories and solicit comment on whether it is accurate, as well as solicit comment on the number of students in government research laboratories. Thus far, approximately a dozen states have adopted the Academic Laboratories Rule, with many more states still in the process of adopting it. The Agency believes better information on whether to pursue a NODA would be available once implementation of the new rule has been in effect for a period of time. Therefore, the Agency is withdrawing this effort until such time as a better determination may be made.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The goal of EPAs New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Review under CAA section 111(b)(1)(B) is to address our obligation to review and revise each NSPS at a minimum of every eight years. The review will outline criteria that the Agency believes indicates that a standard remains effective and need not be reviewed. The strategy also seeks to minimize the administrative burden of the NSPS program by initially addressing those NSPS that remain effective based on readily available information and do not need to be revised.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic CompoundsExclusion of Methyl Iodide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA lists for regulation certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as precursors to ozone formation under section 302(s) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and 40 CFR 51.100(s). 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 VOCs. VOCs that are exempted from the CAA definition are no longer necessary to control in state implementation plans for attaining the national ambient air quality standard for ozone. This rule would address whether EPA should exempt methyl iodide based on its reactivity. This compound is used as a pesticide.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Carbon Monoxide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act, 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. The last CO NAAQS review occurred in 1994 with a decision by the Administrator not to revise the existing standards. The current review which initiated in September 2007 includes the preparation of an Integrated Science Assessment, Risk/Exposure Assessment, and a Policy Assessment Document by EPA, with opportunities for review by EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and the public. These documents inform the Administrator's decision as to whether to retain or revise the standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act makes clear that the economic and technical feasibility of attaining standards are not to be considered in setting or revising the NAAQS, although such factors may be considered in the development of State plans to implement the standards. Accordingly, the Agency prepares cost and benefit information in order to provide States information that may be useful in considering different implementation strategies for meeting proposed or final standards. Cost and benefit information is not developed to support a NAAQS rulemaking until sufficient policy and scientific information is available to narrow potential options for the form and level associated with any potential revisions to the standard. Therefore, work on developing the plan for conducting the cost and benefit analysis will generally start 1 1/2 to 2 years following the start of a NAAQS review.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act, 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 October 17, 2006, EPA published a final rule to revise the primary and secondary NAAQS for particulate matter to provide increased protection of public health and welfare. With regard to the primary standard 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. EPA initiated the current review in 2007 with a workshop to discuss key policy-relevant issues around which EPA would structure the review. This review includes the preparation of an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA), Risk/Exposure Assessment (REA), and a Policy Assessment (PA) by EPA, with opportunities for review by EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and the public. These documents inform the Administrator's decision as to whether to retain or revise the standards. The ISA was completed in December 2009, the final REAs for health risk assessment and visibility assessment were finalized in June and July 2010, respectively. The first draft PA was reviewed by CASAC on April 8-9, 2010. The second draft Policy Assessment was reviewed by CASAC on July 26-27, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act makes clear that the economic and technical feasibility of attaining standards are not to be considered in setting or revising the NAAQS, although such factors may be considered in the development of State plans to implement the standards. Accordingly, the Agency prepares cost and benefit information in order to provide States information that may be useful in considering different implementation strategies for meeting proposed or final standards. Cost and benefit information is not developed to support a NAAQS rulemaking until sufficient policy and scientific information is available to narrow potential options for the form and level associated with any potential revisions to the standard. Therefore, work on developing the plan for conducting the cost and benefit analysis will generally start 1 1/2 to 2 years following the start of a NAAQS review.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act, 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 October 11, 1995, EPA published a final rule not to revise either the primary or secondary NAAQS for nitrogen dioxide (NO2). 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. On December 9, 2005, EPA's Office of Research and Development (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. Subsequently, the decision was made to review the oxides of nitrogen and the oxides of sulfur together, rather than individually, with respect to a secondary welfare standard for NO2 and SO2. 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. This review includes the preparation of an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA), Risk/Exposure Assessment (REA), and a Policy Assessment Document (PAD) by EPA, with opportunities for review by EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and the public. These documents inform the Administrator's proposed decision as to whether to retain or revise the standards. It should be noted that this review will be limited to only the secondary standards; the primary standards for SO2 and NO2 were reviewed separately. The ISA, REA and first draft PAD have been completed and a review of the second draft PAD by CASAC is anticipated on October 6 and 7, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposal to Revise the Interpollutant Trading Policy for PM2.5 Offsets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2010, EPA received and granted a petition from the National Resource Defense Council and Sierra Club for reconsideration of 4 provisions contained in its May 16, 2008, final rule for implementing PM2.5 under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program. The 4 challenged provisions include, (1) allowing states with State Implementation Plan-approved PSD programs up to 3 years to revise and submit the new PM2.5 requirements to EPA for approval; (2) allowing the same states to continue using EPAs 1997 PM10 Surrogate Policy until such revisions are approved by EPA; (3) allowing permit applicants to exclude, until January 1, 2010, any amounts of condensable particulate matter from the calculation of the proposed sources potential to emit for applicability purposes; and (4) allowing sources in PM2.5 nonattainment areas to use emissions from precursors of PM2.5 as offsets for significant increases of PM2.5 emissions, using ratios developed by EPA or ratios developed and demonstrated by the state. Issues 2 and 3 were addressed in earlier rulemakings, and we are taking no action on issue 1. This action completes the proceeding for reconsidering the challenged provisions by addressing the remaining issue (issue 4) associated with interpollutant offsets for PM2.5.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. EPA also proposed various technical corrections in that action that were raised in the petitions for reconsideration. At that time, EPA also agreed to reconsider other issues in future notices. Under this action, EPA will address the other issues raised by Petitioners.]]></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 streamlining provisions for importing controlled substances specifically for purposes of destruction. The proposed provisions would no longer require used imports for destruction to abide by the petition process but instead require a more efficient pre-notification process to EPA in the form of a certification of intent to import for destruction for all imports for destruction--both used and virgin. The regulation would revise associated recordkeeping and reporting requirements for persons who import controlled substances for destruction--replacing an existing set of requirements with a new, more effective set of requirements. 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. While overall burden for respondents will increase, this is due to the additional participants that EPA expects will take advantage of the new regulatory process by importing additional controlled substances for destruction. If there were no additional respondents projected to participate in the import process, overall burden to respondents would decrease. EPA believes that the streamlined regulatory provisions being proposed for importers would ease overall burden, encouraging more imports into the United States for responsible destruction, and thus would 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[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing changes to the leak repair regulations promulgated under section 608 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA or Act). EPA is proposing to lower the leak repair trigger rates for comfort cooling, commercial refrigeration, and industrial process refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment (i.e., appliances) with ozone-depleting refrigerant charges greater than 50 pounds. This action proposes to streamline existing required practices and associated reporting and recordkeeping requirements by establishing similar leak repair requirements for owners or operators of comfort cooling, commercial refrigeration, and industrial process refrigeration appliances. This action also proposes to reduce the use and emissions of ozone-depleting refrigerants by requiring the following: verification and documentation of all repairs, retrofit or retirement of appliances that cannot be sufficiently repaired, mandatory replacement of appliance components that have a history of failures, and mandatory recordkeeping of the determination of the full charge and the fate of recovered refrigerant.]]></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 of 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 emissions sources such as electric utilities, municipal incinerators, cement manufacturing, etc. in areas which do not meet the ambient air standards of the national ambient air quality standards. We do not plan to publish a proposal until the completion of the Method 201A/202 Revisions(SAN 5147)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance-Based Measurement System For Fuels: Criteria For Self-Qualifying Alternative Test Methods; Description of Optional Statistical Quality Control Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Transportation fuels (like gasoline and diesel fuel) are regulated by EPA under the Clean Air Act to control the emissions that result when they are burned in engines, and also to protect engines' emission control equipment. Fuels regulations require measurement of various of the fuels' properties, and prescribe "designated" analytical methods for that purpose. This regulation is intended to provide a way for regulated parties to self-qualify alternatives to the designated measurement methods that may be cheaper, quicker, simpler, more amenable to automation, or otherwise preferable. The regulation will also prescribe a minimum level of statistical quality control for all fuels test methods, designated or alternative. The regulations should quicken the adoption of new measurement technologies by removing the need for multiple method-specific rule-makings, but to do so in a way that will not degrade the performance of the overall measurement system. Introduction of statistical quality control for all methods should improve measurement precision and accuracy in actual practice across all methods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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>Implementing Periodic Monitoring in Federal and State Operating Permit Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise the existing Compliance Assurance Monitoring rule (40 CFR part 64) to be implemented through the operating permits rules (40 CFR parts 70 and 71). The revised CAM rule would define when periodic monitoring must be created for sources to use in determining compliance status relative to applicable requirements (e.g., emissions limits). The revisions would specify criteria and procedures that source owners must address in creating effective periodic monitoring. The revisions will build on the success of the 1997 rule by expanding applicability to include emissions units that do not use add-on control devices but minimize pollutant emissions using other types of control measures. This federal rule will provide for greater consistency in monitoring requirements than can be achieved through processes applied state-by-state and permit-by-permit. The result will also further satisfy the Clean Air Act requirement that EPA require enhanced monitoring sufficient to assure compliance for all major sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Mercury Cell Chlor-Alkali PlantsAmendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is a supplemental proposal for amendment of the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for mercury emissions from mercury cell chlor-alkali plants that was promulgated in 2003. The 2003 NESHAP limited mercury air emissions from existing plants and prohibited the use of mercury in new plants. 

Following promulgation of the 2003 NESHAP, EPA received a petition to reconsider several aspects of the rule from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). NRDC also filed a petition for judicial review of the rule in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. By a letter dated April 8, 2004, EPA granted NRDCs petition for reconsideration, and on July 20, 2004, the Court placed the petition for judicial review in abeyance pending EPAs action on the reconsideration. 

In May 2008, EPA proposed amendments in response to NRDCs petition for reconsideration. The 2008 amendments proposed changes to the regulation for cell room fugitive mercury emissions to require recordkeeping of work practice standards for cell rooms in all facilities as well as to require instrumental monitoring of cell room fugitive mercury emissions for all plants. The 2008 proposed rule also amended aspects of the 2003 NESHAP to correct errors and inconsistencies that had been brought to EPA's attention since the NESHAP was promulgated. 

This supplemental proposal will cover technical corrections, revise start and shutdown requirements, and include a proposed additional control option.]]></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>Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic CompoundsExclusion of Family of Four Hydrofluoropolyethers (HFPEs) and HFE-347pc-f</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA lists for regulation certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as precursors to ozone formation under section 302(s) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and 40 CFR 51.100(s). 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 VOCs. VOCs that are exempted from the CAA definition are no longer necessary to control in state implementation plans for attaining the national ambient air quality standard for ozone. In 2005 and 2007 the EPA received petitions to exclude a family of four HFPEs and also HFE-347pc-f from the list of regulated VOCs on the basis that, as precursors, these compounds make a negligible contribution to the formation of ground level ozone. These compounds have the potential for use as refrigerants because they are not stratospheric ozone depleters.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Plywood and Composite Wood Products (PCWP) NESHAPProposed &amp; Final Amendments to Address &quot;No Emission Reduction&quot; MACT Floors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ordered EPA to re-evaluate the MACT floor for certain PCWP process unit groups. Among the issues to be addressed is MACT floors that had no emission reduction requirements. To meet these regulatory obligations in the face of changing industry practices (e.g., resin reformulation) whose emissions profiles and industry (e.g., MACT floor) impacts have not yet been determined, EPA intends to do the following:
1. Develop an industry-wide survey for distribution late-2010 that focuses on the remand units, PCWP residual risk and technology review, resin reformulations and other process changes.
2. Identify technologies, emission limits and/or work practices
3. Assess risk / conduct technology review
4. Assess impacts and costs
5. Determine options and regulatory course of action (anticipated timing is for a proposal in late 2011 and final in 2012).]]></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's Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) in 2004 and 2010. 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation of Fuel and Fuel Additives: Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Test Methods (Alternative Test Method for Olefins in Gasoline)</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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would establish rules and policies for implementing the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) established through a final action reconsidering the 2008 8-hour ozone standard. This implementation rule would addresses the classification system for designated nonattainment areas, anti-backsliding requirements for the 1997 ozone standard, and the implementation requirements under the Clean Air Act, title I, part D, subparts 1 and 2 as they would apply to a final 2010 standard, including requirements for attainment demonstrations, reasonable further progress, reasonably available control technology (RACT), reasonably available control measures (RACM), nonattainment new source review (NSR), emission inventory, and others. In addition, it would address the timing of SIP submissions, compliance periods, and attainment dates, and would address other implementation topics.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 16, 2007 EPA published amendments to the new source performance standards for equipment leaks in 40 CFR part 60, subparts VV, and GGG, and promulgated new subparts VVa 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 action will address those reconsideration issues.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 18, 2005 (70 FR 28606), EPA published a final rule requiring reductions in emissions of mercury from Electric Utility Steam Generating Units. That rule was vacated on February 8, 2008, by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. As a result of that vacatur, coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units remain on the list of sources that must be regulated under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The Agency will develop standards under CAA section 112(d), which will reduce hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from this source category. Recent court decisions on other CAA section 112(d) rules will be considered in developing this regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

The study was completed in 1998 and in December 2000, EPA determined that it was appropriate and necessary to regulate coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units and added such units to the list of sources for which standards must be developed under section 112. The February 8, 2008, vacatur of the May 18, 2005, Clean Air Mercury Rule and March 29, 2005, section 112(n) Revision Rule (which had removed such sources from the list) resulted in the requirement to regulate under section 112 being reinstated.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

This rulemaking would significantly reduce GHG emissions from future heavy duty vehicles by setting GHG standards that would lead to the introduction of GHG-reducing vehicle and engine technologies. This action follows the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts vs. EPA and would follow EPAs formal determination on endangerment for GHG emissions. This rulemaking also follows the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking "Regulating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Under the Clean Air Act," (73 FR 44354, Jul. 20, 2008).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPA recently proposed to find that emissions of greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and engines cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare. Therefore, there is a need to reduce GHG emissions from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to protect public health and welfare. The medium- and heavy-duty truck sector accounts for approximately 18 percent of the U.S. mobile source GHG emissions and is the second largest mobile source sector. GHG emissions from this sector are forecast to continue increasing rapidly; reflecting the anticipated impact of factors such as economic growth and increased movement of freight by trucks. This rulemaking would significantly reduce GHG emissions from future medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by setting GHG standards that will lead to the introduction of GHG reducing vehicle and engine technologies.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act section 202(a)(1) states that "The Administrator shall by regulation prescribe (and from time to time revise) in accordance with the provisions of this section, standards applicable to the emission of any air pollutant from any class or classes of new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines, which in his judgment cause, or contribute to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare." Section 202(a) covers all on-highway vehicles including medium- and heavy-duty trucks. In April 2007, the Supreme Court found in Massachusetts v. EPA that greenhouse gases fit well within the Acts capacious definition of air pollutant and that EPA has statutory authority to regulate emission of such gases from new motor vehicles. Lastly, in April 2009, EPA issued the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases under the Clean Air Act. The endangerment proposal stated that greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and engines cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The rulemaking proposal will include an evaluation of regulatory alternatives that can be considered in addition to the Agency's primary proposal. In addition, the proposal is expected to include tools such as averaging, banking, and trading of emissions credits as an alternative approach for compliance with the proposed program.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Detailed analysis of economy-wide cost impacts, greenhouse gas emission reductions, and societal benefits will be performed during the rulemaking process. Initial estimates indicate that the vehicles produced during the first 5 years after implementation of the program could achieve reductions of up to 250 million metric ton of CO2 emissions during the lifetime of these trucks. The costs associated with the GHG control technologies are expected to pay for themselves through fuel cost savings within the first 2 to 5 years of the vehicle's life.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The failure to set new GHG standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks risks continued increases in GHG emissions from the trucking industry and therefore increased risk of unacceptable climate change impacts.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA intends to improve the air pollutant emissions factors program. Most EPA emissions factors reside in a database called AP-42. In order to acquire adequate data for the development or improvement of the emissions factors, we are seeking comment on requiring the submission (via electronic reporting) of certain performance testing information already collected by industry. Performance tests are conducted to measure the air pollutant emissions from an industrial process and used as an indicator of compliance with regulations. This last element of the process of improving the emissions factors program will require formal rulemaking and will encompass performance testing required by Federal rules codified in 40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 63.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Reasonable Possibility in Recordkeeping; Reconsideration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA is convening a proceeding for reconsideration of a final rule published in the Federal Register on December 21, 2007 (72 FR 62607). The subject rule was promulgated in response to a remand by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in New York v. EPA, 413 F.3d 3 (D.C. Cir. 2005), in order to clarify the "reasonable possibility" recordkeeping and reporting standard under the New Source Review (NSR) program. After review of issues raised by the State of New Jersey by petition and letter, we have decided to exercise our discretion to conduct a reconsideration of this final rule and will therefore be reopening the public comment period for the rule. The rule will remain in effect while our reconsideration proceeding is under way.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Oil and Natural Gas SectorNew Source Performance Standards, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, and Control Techniques Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) regulate criteria pollutants from new stationary sources. Two NSPS (subparts KKK and LLL) for the oil and natural gas industry were promulgated in 1985. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that NSPS be reviewed every 8 years and revised as appropriate. National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulate hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from new and existing stationary sources. Two NESHAP (subparts HH and HHH) for the oil and natural gas industry were promulgated in 1999. Section 112 of the CAA requires that NESHAP be reviewed every 8 years and revised as appropriate. In addition, section 112(f) requires that each category regulated under section 112(d) be reviewed to ensure that such regulations provide for an ample margin of safety to protect public health (i.e. address "residual risk" for each category). This action will include the required reviews under sections 111 and 112. The development of control techniques guidelines (CTG) for criteria pollutants will also be done under this action. Since the existing regulations are narrow in scope, the reviews will include consideration of broadening the scope of operations and emissions points covered by the NSPS and the MACT.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP Standard Standards for Petroleum RefineriesHeat Exchangers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act (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 Maximum Achievable Control Technology (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. We are currently reviewing our existing standards and also the underlying rules that are often referenced by these standards. As a result of this review, we have noted the need to consolidate rule requirements, and to update control requirements based on the risk and technology reviews under both section 112 and 111. Additionally, we recognize that most chemical and refinery sector operations have similar emission sources that are often required to be controlled to the similar levels by the same type of control devices and work practice standards, although on a piecemeal fashion such that the requirements may differ slightly from source to source without any tangible environmental benefits. We are therefore developing a limited number of rules (standard standards) that are consistent and that can be applied to numerous sources in the chemicals and refining sector. This effort will consist of developing the heat exchanger standard, including developing control options to address technology review under both 112 and 111, addressing the control of VOC, HAP, and other pollutants, as appropriate, estimating the impacts of regulatory options, emission reductions, impacts on risk, costs, cost effectiveness, and economic impacts for the refining and chemicals sector.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Reference Method for Lead in Total Suspended Particulate Matter</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 12, 2008 EPA substantially strengthened the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for lead. EPA revised the level of the primary (health-based) standard from 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter (g/m3) to 0.15g/m3, measured as total suspended particles (TSP) and revised the secondary (welfare-based) standard to be identical in all respects to the primary standard. In conjunction with strengthening the lead (Pb) NAAQS, EPA identified the need for states to improve existing lead monitoring networks. Depending on specific circumstances, States may have the option of using monitoring for either lead in TSP (Pb-TSP) or lead in PM10 (Pb-PM10) using approved Federal Reference Methods (FRMs) or Federal Equivalent Methods (FEMs) to meet monitoring requirements. To support new monitoring requirements, an FRM for Pb-PM10 was developed with the November 8, 2008 rulemaking. The FRM for Pb-TSP was left unchanged. The Pb-TSP FRM was promulgated in 1978. EPA recognizes that significant advances in measurement technology have been made since the promulgation of the original FRM. In order to support new monitoring requirements for Pb-TSP and update the FRM to improve it based on advanced measurement technology, a new FRM must be developed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: The 2011 Critical Use Exemption From the Phaseout of Methyl Bromide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Methyl bromide was phased out under the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 2005, except for limited exemptions. This action would authorize uses that will qualify for the 2011 critical use exemption from the phaseout of methyl bromide, and would also authorize the amount of methyl bromide that may be produced, imported, or supplied from inventory for those uses in 2011. Absent this rulemaking, production and import of methyl bromide for critical uses would be zero for 2011. EPA takes this action under the authority of the Clean Air Act to reflect recent consensus Decisions taken by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol at the 21st Meeting of the Parties. This action also invites comment on a possible end date for the critical use exemption program. Since this rulemaking would confer a benefit by exempting the production and use of a phased-out chemical, there is no significant adverse impact on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of New Source Performance Standards for New Residential Wood Heaters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is revising the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for residential wood heaters under the Clean Air Act section 111(b)(1)(B). This action is necessary because it updates the 1988 NSPS to reflect significant advancements in wood heater technologies and design, broaden the range of residential wood heating appliances covered by the regulation, and improve and streamline implementation procedures. This rule is expected to require manufacturers to redesign wood heaters to be cleaner and lower emitting. In general, the design changes will also make the heaters perform better and be more efficient. The revisions are also expected to retain the requirement for manufacturers to contract for testing of model lines by third-party independent laboratories, report the results to EPA, and label the models accordingly. This action does not apply to existing residential woodstoves, pellet stoves and other residential biomass heating units.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action amends the existing Architectural Coatings Rule at 40 CFR part 59, subpart D to update the categories and limits to make them consistent with the Ozone Transport Commission model rule. This action is being done in response to a Clean Air Act Advisory Committee recommendation. This action was originally combined with similar amendments for consumer and commercial products under the "National VOC Emission Standards for Consumer Products; Amendments" (RIN 2060-AI62). However, it has now been determined that the other source categories in 2060-AI62 will be delayed due to the need for further analysis, and EPA has decided to separate out the Architectural Coatings piece as a separate rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

On December 19, 2008, in Sierra Club v. EPA, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the SSM.

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Elemental Phosphorous Production</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Well-established procedures for determining MACT will be followed in this project, and no new or novel issues are being raised by this rulemaking. We are engaged with Agency and other stakeholders, and will continue to develop this MACT standard with their involvement. 

Elemental Phosphorus Production was not listed as one of the categories on the Source Category list to be regulated under Clean Air Act section 112. However, we have received petitions from States to develop a Maximum Available Control Technology (MACT) standard for this category. We plan to list this source category at proposal. 

Elemental phosphorous production includes mining, sizing, and calcining phosphate ore, and then blending it with silica and coke before melting in a furnace under reduced conditions. Elemental phosphorous gases are evolved from the furnace and captured, then condensed in a cooling process and transferred into tanks and cylinders under pressure. Slag (waste) is tapped from the bottom of the furnace and discarded. The production processes emit particulate matter (PM); toxic metals including radionuclides, selenium and mercury (Hg); and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). 

All of the elemental phosphorous in the US is produced at one (Monsanto) plant and about 90% of it is used as a raw material for the production of Roundup(c), a Monsanto product. The remainder is used as a food grade additive and for military purposes. There are no small business issues with this project.

The facility presents Environmental Justice concerns. The facility is located within the hunting, fishing, and gathering grounds of three Indian tribes on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, and shares the watershed and major rivers with the tribes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will make needed corrections and updates to source testing methods and testing provisions in 40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 63. For example, Method 5, which determines particulate matter from stationary sources is being edited to remove silica gel as the prescribed drying agent. Silica gel has been listed as a potential carcinogen and other agents that are safer and more environmentally friendly are being prescribed. In Method 2, which determines stack gas velocity, a misplaced square root sign in one of the equations is being corrected. This is a periodic action that is done every several years to keep the rules up-to-date and to ensure that compliance testing and monitoring are done correctly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Determination of Confidential Business Information Collected Under the GHG Mandatory Reporting Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 22, 2009, the Administrator signed a final rule establishing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reporting requirements for approximately 10,000 facilities and suppliers in the U.S. Monitoring starts January 1, 2010, and the first reports are due to EPA on March 31, 2011. In anticipation of releasing the data we collect to the public, EPA is launching an effort to proactively determine which data elements we collect are confidential business information, considering the definition of "emissions data" under the Clean Air Act. We will provide the public and reporters an opportunity to comment and then issue our final determination. This process needs to be completed before releasing the data to the public in 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to In-Use Testing for Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines and Vehicles; Emissions Measurement and Instrumentation; Not-to-Exceed Emission Standards; and Technical Amendments for Off-Highway Engines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Direct Final Rule makes several revisions to EPAs mobile source emission standards and test procedures. First, due to a delay in developing the final particulate matter (PM) accuracy margin for portable emission measurement systems, we are delaying the first year of the fully enforceable PM in-use testing program for the heavy-duty diesel vehicles from the 2009 calendar year to the 2010 calendar year. During the 2009 calendar year, there will be another year of pilot program testing for that pollutant. Second, we are allowing railroads to install a limited number of remanufactured engines that do not comply with the most recent emission standards. Third, we are clarifying the analytical requirements for in-use PM measurement. Fourth, we are making changes to allow partial flow dilution sampling for transient test cycle PM measurement. Fifth, we are clarifying how to account for emission control system regeneration events when calculating not-to-exceed (NTE) results. Sixth, we are making changes to allow the use of fuel rate information derived from the engine control module (ECM) to determine NTE mass emission rate. Seventh, we are specifying a later notification deadline for small-volume manufacturers of marine SI engines that want to qualify for a two-year delay in the new exhaust emission standards. Eighth, and finally, we are clarifying how our prohibitions apply with respect to handheld small SI engines installed in non-handheld equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>RACT Issues for Implementation of the 1997 PM2.5 and Ozone NAAQS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will modify policies related to the state requirements for Reasonably Available Control Measures (RACM) and Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for electric generating units and certain other large emission sources in the rules addressing implementation of the 1997 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the 1997 fine particulate matter (PM2.5) NAAQS. This action will revise the policies on how states determine whether RACT requirements can be satisfied by regional emissions trading programs such as the NOx Budget Program and the Clean Air Interstate Rule. This action will also respond to a petition to reconsider how economic feasibility is considered in RACT determinations made under the PM2.5 Implementation Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation to Prevent the Misfueling of Vehicles and Engines With Gasoline Containing Greater Than Ten Volume Percent Ethanol and Modifications to the Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act section 211(c) this rulemaking proposes to control and regulate distribution of fuels and fuel additives that may pose harm to the environment or public health. Vehicles or engines not certified or approved for gasoline containing greater than 10% ethanol ("E10+") may experience increased emissions of criteria pollutants and accelerated deterioration of emission control systems due to higher oxygen content from increased ethanol levels. These emission increases will have an adverse effect on air quality and public health. Furthermore, vehicles/engines operating on E10+ may experience operability issues leading to tampering of certified configurations designed to satisfy EPA emissions requirements. This rulemaking proposes to prevent misfueling by prohibiting the use of E10+ in vehicles/engines not approved to use E10+ and by requiring a label on the fuel pump. This rulemaking also proposes to modify the Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) program (40 CFR part 80) to update the Complex Model allowing fuel manufacturers to certify batches of gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol (E15). These modifications are required for fuel manufacturers to sell E15.

This proposed rulemaking is necessary because of the proliferation of "blenderpumps"pumps that allow consumers to select E10+ blend levelsand the Agency's pending waiver decision under the Clean Air Act section 211(f)(4) which, if granted, would allow for E15 use in some vehicles/engines. Such a waiver and the expansion of blenderpumps create a need for a label to ensure that consumers do not fuel their vehicles or engines with unapproved fuels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Stationary Combustion Turbine NSPS Amendments to Address UARG Reconsideration Petition</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to amend specific provisions in the NSPS for stationary combustion turbines to resolve issues and questions raised by the utility air regulatory group (UARG) on the original final rulemaking published on July 6, 2006 (71 FR 38482), and to address other technical and editorial issues that have been identified since promulgation. The primary issues raised in the petition include the NOx standard and the monitoring and reporting requirements for owners/operators that elect to install NOx CEMS. This proposed rule would also amend the location and wording of existing paragraphs to clarify the requirements of the NSPS. It would also exempt owners/operators of stationary combustion turbines that meet the applicability criteria of and that are complying with the SO2 standard in either subparts J or Ja (standards of performance for petroleum refineries) or only burn fuels containing inherently low amounts of sulfur from complying with the otherwise applicable SO2 limit in subpart KKKK. In addition, we are requesting comment on how to address combustion turbine engines that are overhauled or refurbished off site in such a manner that neither the owner, operator, or manufacturer can identify which components have been replaced and, therefore, cannot conduct the otherwise required reconstruction analysis. Also, in recognition that the ultra-low sulfur diesel requirements include Hawaii, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands we are intending and requesting comment on requiring owner/operators of turbines in these locations to meet the same sulfur requirements as owner/operators of turbines located in State territories. Finally, we are proposing to require electronic reporting of performance tests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the NOx, SO2, and PM standards in the utility NSPS and assure proper monitoring. Conforming amendments to the industrial boiler NSPS will also be proposed to assure consistent monitoring for the various boiler rules. In addition the action will make multiple corrections to the boiler NSPS. It will also respond to the Utility Air Regulatory Group's (UARG) request for reconsideration of the January 2009 final amendments to the boiler NSPS. Issues specific to UARG's request include: 1) appropriate monitoring provisions for owners/operators of affected facilities subject to an opacity standard, but exempt from the requirement to install a continuous opacity monitoring system, and 2) the relevance of an opacity standard for owners/operators of affected facilities using a continuous emissions monitoring system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to add trans 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and 2,3,3,3-tertrafluoropropene to the list of negligibly reactive compounds in the definition of volatile organic compounds. Data indicate that the photochemical reactivity of these compounds is low enough that they can be regarded as negligibly reactive in ozone formation and will not contribute to violations of the ozone national ambient air quality standard. The compound 2,3,3,3-tertrafluoropropene has been identified as a possible substitute for a high global warming compound which is currently used in automobile air conditioners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP Risk and Technology Review for Pulp and Paper Industry and Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources, and NSPS Review for Kraft Pulp Mills</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2004 National Academy of Sciences' (NAS) report recommended that EPA begin conducting integrated assessments that consider multiple pollutants (criteria and hazardous air pollutants, and other chemicals that may be of concern) and multiple effects (health, ecosystem, visibility) to set standards and develop planning and control strategies. In response to this recommendation, EPAs Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) intends to conduct an integrated review and assessment that addresses regulatory obligations under both the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants and the New Source Performance Standards programs (NSPS). 

Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs EPA to conduct risk assessments on each source category subject to maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards, and to determine if additional standards are needed to reduce residual risks, to be completed 8 years after promulgation. Section 112(d)(6) of the CAA requires EPA to review and revise the MACT standards as necessary, taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies, to be done at least every 8 years. The NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand-Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills (subpart MM) was promulgated in 2001 and has not been reviewed. Similarly, the NESHAP for the Pulp and Paper Industry (subpart S) was promulgated in 1998 and also has not been reviewed.

Section 111(b)(1)(B) of the CAA mandates that EPA review and, if appropriate, revise existing New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) at least every 8 years. The Kraft Pulp Mill NSPS was promulgated in 1978 and is in need of review. This NSPS component of this action will include reviewing existing emission limits for particulate matter, total reduced sulfur, and opacity and evaluating the appropriateness of developing emission limits for other pollutants such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxide, and carbon dioxide.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would conduct residual risk and technology reviews for two industrial source categories regulated by two National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP): Shipbuilding and Ship Repair (Surface Coating), and Wood Furniture Manufacturing. The underlying national emission standards that are under review in this action limit and control hazardous air pollutants.
	
Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs EPA to assess the risk remaining (residual risk) after the application of the NESHAP and promulgate additional standards if warranted to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health or prevent an adverse environmental effect. Also, section 112(d)(6) of the CAA requires EPA to review and revise the NESHAP as necessary at least every 8 years, taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies. This action would conduct those reviews for the two source categories cited above.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead</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 November 12, 2008, EPA published a final rule to revise the primary and secondary NAAQS for lead to provide increased protection for public health and welfare. With regard to the primary standard, EPA revised the level to 0.15 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3) of lead in total suspended particles and the averaging time to a rolling 3-month period with a maximum (not-to-be-exceeded) form, evaluated over a 3-year period. EPA revised the secondary standard to be identical in all respects to the revised primary standard. EPA has now initiated the next review. The review began in May 2010 with a workshop to discuss key policy-relevant issues around which EPA would structure the review. This review includes the preparation of an Integrated Science Assessment, and if warranted, a Risk/Exposure Assessment and also a Policy Assessment Document by EPA, with opportunities for review by EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and the public. These documents inform the Administrator's proposed decision as to whether to retain or revise the standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

Accordingly, the Agency prepares cost and benefit information in order to provide States information that may be useful in considering different implementation strategies for meeting proposed or final standards. Cost and benefit information is not developed to support a NAAQS rulemaking until sufficient policy and scientific information is available to narrow potential options for the form and level associated with any potential revisions to the standard. Therefore, work on developing the plan for conducting the cost and benefit analysis will generally start 1 1/2 to 2 years following the start of a NAAQS review.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Direct Final Amending Monitoring Requirements of the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Steam Generating Units</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is issuing direct final amendments (and the corresponding parallel proposal) of the monitoring requirements in the electric utility and boiler New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). Since promulgation of the 2009 final amendments, EPA has issued an information collection request (ICR) to the electric utility sector that requires condensable particulate matter (PM) testing from a substantial number of units. We have determined that this ICR will provide sufficient data to determine both if a standard is appropriate, and, in the event a standard is appropriate, the level of the standard. Therefore, the testing requirement in the NSPS is no longer necessary and represents an unnecessary burden to the regulated community. Consequently, the direct final would eliminate the testing requirement. In addition, questions about the intent of the 2009 amendments to the opacity monitoring requirements and been raised, and the direct final amendments will delay the amended opacity monitoring requirements until January 1, 2012. We intend to complete the remand to the boiler NSPS prior to January 1, 2012 and will be able to take comment on and address the opacity monitoring in the remand. Finally, the direct final amendments will correct three recently identified errors in the regulatory text.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will update the 2007 implementation rule for the PM2.5 national ambient air quality standards (PM2.5 NAAQS). The 2007 rule provided a basic regulatory framework for state plans to attain the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS, and this basic guidance framework remains in place for state implementation plans due in 2012 to attain the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. This new rulemaking provides clarifications and revisions only for certain sections of the 2007 rule. The revised rule plus the original 2007 rule will provide comprehensive guidance for implementing the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS and any future revisions to the PM2.5 NAAQS]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Change to Dose Methodology</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this action is to make a technical change to the dose methodology used in subpart A of 40 CFR 191, entitled Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for the Management and Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Waste and Transuranic Waste. The current methodology is outdated. The dose methodology used in the rule published on September 19, 1985, was based on the target organ approach recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) in Report #2. Since that time science has progressed and a new methodology based on an effective dose equivalent approach is currently being recommended by the ICRP in Report #26. This action would 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to reconsider the final rule titled, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions, published on December 19, 2008 (73 FR 77881). Through a letter signed on April 24, 2009, EPA granted reconsideration on a petition submitted by National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), as well as an administrative stay. In addition to the three-month administrative stay, EPA proposed and finalized an additional 18 month stay to allow enough time to propose, take public comment on, and issue a final action concerning the inclusion of fugitive emissions in the federal PSD program. The additional 18 month stay became effective on March 31, 2010 (75 FR 16102). EPA will consider the petition for reconsideration, public comments, and information contained in the rulemaking docket to reach a decision on the reconsideration and finalize the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title IV of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 directs EPA to establish a "recoverable waste energy inventory program" in cooperation with the Department of Energy and state energy offices. This inventory program is composed of a Survey of major industrial and large commercial combustion sources, and a Registry of Recoverable Waste Energy Sources. On July 23, 2009, EPA issued a proposed rule that included the criteria for including sources or sites in a Registry of Recoverable Waste Energy Sources, and the Survey processes by which EPA will collect data and populate the Registry. Under this action, EPA will publish a rule establishing criteria for including sites in the Registry of Recoverable Waste Energy Sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators; Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 6, 2009, EPA promulgated its response to the remand of the new source performance standards and emissions guidelines for hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and satisfied the Clean Air Act section 129(a)(5) requirement to conduct a review of the standards every five years. This action proposes to amend the new source performance standards emissions limits for nitrogen oxides (NOX) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) promulgated for large hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators in order to correct inadvertent drafting errors we made setting forth those limits, which did not correspond to our description of our standard-setting process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Certain Provisions of the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has conducted and will continue to conduct extensive outreach with stakeholders affected by and interested in the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. In response to questions received during these stakeholder meetings, EPA is proposing amendments to make clarifying and technical changes to eleven subparts of the final rule that were either not clear, or did not have the intended effect. In addition, some of the proposed changes are being made as part of settlement agreements regarding challenges to the October rule filed by several organizations. This action would not fundamentally change the structure of the program. This proposal is complementary to the proposed rulemaking: Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other Amendments, published on June 15, 2010. Together, these two proposed rulemakings address the most significant questions raised during implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Quality Designations and Classifications for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will establish the air quality designations for all areas of the United States under the revised 2008 ozone NAAQS. 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 CAA 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 the March 12, 2008 promulgation of the revised NAAQS. However, EPA may extend that date by up to one year if EPA has insufficient information. On January 6, 2010, EPA issued a proposal to reconsider the 2008 ozone NAAQS and instead set more protective NAAQS. If EPA promulgates new NAAQS as a result of the reconsideration, the requirement to designate areas for the replaced 2008 NAAQS would no longer apply. Because of the uncertainty created by the reconsideration of the 2008 ozone NAAQS, on January 6, 2010, EPA announced it extended the designations deadline by one year, until March 12, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subparts H and I of 40 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>Modification of the Anti-Dumping Baseline Date Cut-Off Limit for Data Used in Development of an Individual Baseline</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA["Dumping" refers to the practice whereby refiners making clean fuels for certain markets (such as reformulated gasoline for clean-air purposes) take the pollutants removed from the clean fuels and "dump" them into other fuels they are producing for other markets. This, if allowed, would make those other fuels even dirtier than before, and so the Clean Air Act prohibits this practice. EPA has existing "anti-dumping" rules on the books that codify this Clean Air Act prohibition. This regulation is a minor technical amendment to those existing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Component Durability Procedures for New Light Duty Vehicles, Light Duty Trucks &amp; 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of Substitutes for Ozone-Depleting Substances: N-Propyl Bromide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would make a determination as to 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 that would be sufficient to mitigate risk and that are 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. If we determine that nPB cannot be used safely in a specific end use, as compared with other substitutes available for that end use, we would find it unaccceptable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, EPA evaluates alternatives to ozone-depleting substances to ensure that they do not increase overall risks to human health and the environment. If finalized as proposed, this rule would expand the list of acceptable substitutes (subject to use conditions) for use in the motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) sector. EPA has already issued a final rule for the other substitute addressed in this proposal, R-152a. This final action pertains to R-744.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of Substitutes for Ozone-Depleting Substances-Hydrocarbon Refrigerants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposed to list a number of hydrocarbon refrigerants as substitutes to ozone depleting substances for certain household and commercial uses under EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program. The SNAP Program evaluates alternatives to ozone-depleting substances to ensure that they do not increase overall risks to human health and the environment and lists these substitutes as acceptable, acceptable subject to use conditions, acceptable with narrowed use limits, or unacceptable. This action proposed to find a number of hydrocarbons acceptable subject to use conditions, including enforceable use conditions to ensure the safe use of hydrocarbons as refrigerants. This rule is anticipated to give industry more options with less overall environmental and health impact than current refrigerants.]]></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. 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 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>Inspection/Maintenance Program Requirements for Federal Facilities; Amendment to the Final Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has had an 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 for standards for the implementation of I/M programs.  EPA used the statutory requirements of the Act, including I/M requirements for Federal facilities to promulgate regulations with States would use in the development of their IM State Implementation Plans (SIPs).  The Department of Justice ruled that Federal sovereign immunity was not fully waived under the CAA for those requirements and recommended that EPA either issue guidance or amend its rule to address I/M requirements for Federal Facilities.  Originally, EPA intended to: (1) Amend the Federal facilities I/M requirements by removing that section; (2) correct existing I/M SIP approval actions with included 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 it's I/M regulations. These changes were predicted to have minimal to no impact on the States, as no new requirements were being created.  The States would have been under no obligation, legal or otherwise, to modify existing SIPs meeting the previously applicable requirement as a result of the EPA's intended action, and emissions reduction credits would not have been affected.  The intention of the originally planned rule change was to clarify for affected Federal facilities what they must do to meet the CAA requirements.  Subsequent to placing this intended action on EPA's regulatory agenda, the decision was made to issue guidance to the facilities instead, clarifying the CAA's requirements with regard to Federal facilities.  Guidance was deemed the more timely way of getting this information to the entities in question.  This guidance, which was issued in December 1999, has proven sufficient.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that EPA develop standards for toxic air pollutants, also known as hazardous air pollutants or air toxics for certain categories of sources. These pollutants are known or suspected to cause cancer and other serious health and environmental effects. This regulatory action will develop emission standards for boilers located at area sources. An area source facility emits or has the potential to emit less than 10 tons per year (tpy) of any single air toxic or less than 25 tpy of any combination of air toxics. Boilers burn coal and other substances such as oil or biomass (e.g., wood) to produce steam or hot water, which is then used for energy or heat. Industrial boilers are used in manufacturing, processing, mining, refining, or any other industry. Commercial and institutional boilers are used in commercial establishments, medical centers, educational facilities and municipal buildings. The majority of area source boilers covered by this proposed rule are located at commercial and institutional facilities and are generally owned or operated by small entities. EPA estimates that there are approximately 183,000 existing area source boilers at 91,000 facilities in the United States and that approximately 6,800 new area source boilers will be installed over the next 3 years. The rule will cover boilers located at area source facilities that burn coal, oil, biomass, or secondary "non-waste" materials. Natural gas-fired area source boilers are not part of the categories to be regulated. The rule will reduce emissions of a number of toxic air pollutants including mercury, metals, and organic air toxics. The standards for area sources must be technology-based. Standards for area sources can be based on either generally available control technology (GACT), or maximum achievable control technology (MACT). To determine GACT, we look at methods, practices and techniques that are commercially available and appropriate for use by the sources in the category. We consider the economic impacts on sources in the category and the technical capabilities of the firms to operate and maintain the emissions control systems. MACT can be based on the emissions reductions achievable through application of measures, processes, methods, systems, or techniques, but must at least meet minimum control levels as defined in the Clean Air Act. Economic impacts cannot be considered when determining those minimum control levels.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 112(c)(3) of the CAA requires EPA to develop rules to reduce specific air toxics emissions (30 urban toxic pollutants) that have been identified as posing the greatest threat to public health in the largest number of urban areas as a result of emissions from certain categories of area sources. Industrial boilers and institutional/commercial boilers are listed as two of the area source categories for regulation. In addition, both industrial boilers and commercial/institutional boilers are on the list of CAA 112(c)(6) source categories which requires that those categories be subject to MACT regulation for specific air toxics. These two categories were included on the list because of emissions of mercury and polycyclic organic matter (POM).]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA estimates the total nationwide capital cost for the rulemaking for existing and new boilers, as proposed, to be approximately $2.5 billion, with an annualized cost of 1 billion. The annual cost includes control device operation and maintenance and annual boiler tuneups, as well as monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and performance testing. EPA estimates that the proposal would reduce nationwide emissions from existing and new area source boilers by approximately 1,500 tons per year (tpy) of total air toxics, 1,500 pounds per year of mercury, 250 tpy of non-mercury metals, 9 tpy of POM, and 7,600 tpy of PM. These emissions reductions will lead to significant annual health benefits. In 2013, this rule will protect public health by avoiding: 110 to 300 premature deaths, 81 cases of chronic bronchitis, 190 nonfatal heart attacks, 169 hospital and emergency room visits, 190 cases of acute bronchitis, 16,000 days when people miss work, 2,100 cases of aggravated asthma, and 95,000 acute respiratory symptoms. The monetized benefits of this proposed regulatory action are estimated to range from $1 billion to $2.4 billion and $900 million to $2.2 billion, at 3 percent and 7 percent discount rates, respectively.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 a 2.5 micron size cut cyclone which may be used in conjunction with the current 10 micron size cut cyclone if measuring both PM10 and PM2.5 or may be used 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 the current version of Method 202.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes how EPA will address the residual risk and technology reviews conducted for two national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) and supplements an October 2008 proposal addressing the residual risk and technology reviews for four NESHAP. The six NESHAP include 16 source categories. This action also proposes to modify the existing emissions standards for eight source categories in three of the six NESHAP to address certain emission sources not currently regulated under these standards. It also proposes for all six NESHAP to address provisions related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. Finally, this action proposes changes to two of the six NESHAP to correct editorial errors, make clarifications, or address issues with implementation or determining compliance. We have settlement agreement deadlines for proposed and final rules of September 14, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the 1997 8-Hr Ozone NAAQS:   Classification of Subpart 1 Areas and Revision to Anti-Backsliding Provisions; Deletion of Obsolete 1-Hr Ozone Standard Provisions.</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking action would revise the 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 remove the portions of the regulatory text vacated by the Court, specifically: (1) 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>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>NESHAP: Gasoline Distribution; AmendmentsArea Source Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 10, 2008, 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. On 12/15/09, we proposed amendments to address the issues raised by the petitioners as well as compliance-related questions raised by other stakeholders. This action is to consider public comments on the proposed amendments, and develop and issue final amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is being developed to help fulfill a mandate 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. This action will help protect human health and the environment by proposing controls for mercury emissions from this source category.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transport 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). The 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 parts of the 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 the CAIR. This ruling means that the CAIR remains in place temporarily but that EPA is obligated to promulgate another rule under Clean Air Act section 110(a)(2)(D) consistent with the court's July 11 opinion. This action would fulfill our obligation to develop a rule consistent with the July 11, 2008, and December 23, 2008, D.C. Court decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Clean Air Transport Rule is needed to help States address the requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the Clean Air Act.

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule would yield more than $120 to $290 billion in annual benefits in 2014. This far outweighs the estimated annual costs of $2.8 billion for that year. Both the annual benefits and costs are in 2006 dollars. The emission reductions from this proposed rule would lead to significant annual health benefits. In 2014, this rule would protect public health by avoiding: 14,000 to 36,000 premature deaths, 21,000 cases of acute bronchitis, 23,000 nonfatal heart attacks, 26,000 hospital and emergency room visits, 1.9 million days when people miss work or school, 240,000 cases of aggravated asthma, and 440,000 upper and lower respiratory symptoms. Air quality improvements would lead to increased visibility in national and State parks, and increased protection for sensitive ecosystems including, Adirondack and Appalachian lakes, coastal waters and estuaries, and sugar maple forests.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle and Engine Conversions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[New regulations affecting the conversion of automobiles from the original fuel on which they were designed to operate to an alternative fuel are necessary because at this time vehicle fuel converters are only able to convert a vehicle's fuel operation if the conversion has been EPA certified. The certification process is suitable for the conversions of newer vehicles. However, converters seeking to legally convert an older vehicle, for which there are now tax and other monetary incentives, need a process more suitable for older vehicles. This rule clarifies the certification procedure for new vehicle conversions as well as creates an option for used vehicles to ensure continued air quality.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Compression Ignition Engine NSPSAmendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for stationary compression ignition internal combustion engines. These amendments are the result of a settlement agreement with the American Petroleum Institute. The amendments to the rule include limiting the operation and maintenance (O&M) requirements to emission-related O&M and allowing certified engine owners/operators to operate/maintain their engines according to their own O&M practices if they conduct performance testing to demonstrate compliance. The amendments also clarify the requirements for temporary replacement engines. In addition, this action amends the NSPS to implement more stringent emission standards for engines with a displacement above 10 liters/cylinder, consistent with recent revisions to standards for similar mobile source engines. This action revises the requirements for engines in rural portions of Alaska. The amendments also correct minor errors in the NSPS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Pb Ambient Air Monitoring Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 12, 2008, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for lead (Pb) and associated monitoring requirements. The finalized monitoring requirements require State and local monitoring agencies to conduct Pb monitoring near Pb sources emitting 1.0 tons per year (tpy) or more and in large urban areas referred to as Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) with a population of 500,000 people or more. In January 2009, EPA received a petition from the Missouri Coalition for the Environment Foundation, Natural Resources Defense Council, the Coalition to End Childhood Poisoning, and Physicians for Social Responsibility requesting EPA reconsider the 1.0 tpy emission threshold. EPA granted the petition to reconsider on July 22, 2009. This action represents the results of the EPAs reconsideration of the Pb monitoring requirements. 

A proposed revision was published on December 30, 2009, in which the EPA proposed to lower the emission threshold to 0.50 tpy, and to require Pb monitoring at the approximately 80 NCore sites instead of monitoring Pb in CBSA's with a population greater than 500,000. The EPA also requested comments on an emission threshold greater than 0.50 tpy, alternative approaches for monitoring Pb near airports, and on staggering the monitoring deployment over two years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action follows RIN 2060-AP49, in which EPA developed and issued a final rule that addressed when a source must combine (i.e., aggregate) nominally-separate physical and operational changes for the purpose of determining whether they are a single change and subject to review under the New Source Review (NSR) program. Following promulgation of the NSR Aggregation final rule on 1/15/09, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) submitted a petition for reconsideration as provided for in Clean Air Act (CAA) section 307(d)(7)(B). In response to NRDCs petition, EPA has both announced the convening of a reconsideration proceeding and administratively stayed the effective date of the rule indefinitely to allow time to conduct the reconsideration. Under this RIN, we will take comment on a range of legal and policy issues related to the Aggregation rule and complete any revisions of the rule that become necessary as a result of the reconsideration process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would require facilities that conduct geologic sequestration or that inject CO2 underground to report GHG data to EPA annually. This regulation would provide nationally consistent public information quantifying the amount of CO2 geologically sequestered in the United States. In combination with subpart PP of the GHG Reporting Program (suppliers of CO2), this regulation would enable EPA to better understand the quantity of CO2 supplied to emissive and potentially non-emissive end-uses and to track the flow of CO2 across the CO2 capture and storage (CCS) system. Finally, this regulation would enable EPA and others to track growth and efficacy of geologic sequestration (and therefore CCS) as a mitigation technology over time and to evaluate relevant policy options. This rule would not require control of greenhouse gases, rather it would require only that sources injecting or sequestering CO2 monitor and report emissions. EPA has designed this rule so that facilities can comply with the reporting requirements without disrupting or delaying normal operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NSPS/Emission Guidelines (EG) for Sewage Sludge Incinerators</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 Sewage Sludge Incineration units (SSI). Regulations for Other Solid Waste Incinerators (OSWI) were promulgated on December 15, 2005. However, at that time, EPA did not issue standards or guidelines for SSI units and several other incinerator categories. In 2007, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision vacating EPA's definition of "solid waste incineration unit," holding that "any facility that combusts any commercial or industrial solid waste material at all" is a commercial or industrial solid waste incineration unit. Based on this decision, in this rulemaking, EPA is re-evaluating whether SSI units are in fact solid waste incineration units and whether, as such, they must be regulated under section 129.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reconsideration of the 2008 Ozone Primary and Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 12, 2008, EPA announced the final decision on the ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Soon after that decision was signed on March 27, 2008 (73 FR 16436), the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) held an unsolicited public meeting and criticized EPA for setting primary and secondary standards that were not consistent with advice provided by the CASAC during review of the NAAQS. On July 25, 2008, several environmental and industry petitioners, as well as a number of States, sued EPA on the NAAQS decision, and the Court set a briefing schedule for the consolidated cases on December 23, 2008. On March 10, 2009, EPA requested that the Court vacate the briefing schedule and hold the consolidated cases in abeyance for 180 days. This request for extension was made to allow time for appropriate EPA officials appointed by the new Administration to determine whether the standards established in March 2008 should be maintained, modified, or otherwise reconsidered. Announcement of reconsideration of the March 2008 NAAQS decision occurred on September 16, 2009. The NAAQS proposal (including a proposal to stay implementation designations for the March 2008 NAAQS) was signed on January 6, 2010, with the final rule to be signed on or around October 2010. Reconsideration of the NAAQS will be limited to information and supporting documentation available to EPA and in the docket at the time of the March 2008 decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation would require reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from the petroleum and natural gas industry. This rule applies to industry segments of the petroleum and natural gas industry which have significant vented and equipment leak emissions of carbon dioxide and methane e.g., natural gas transmission compression, distribution, etc. The rule would not require control of greenhouse gases, rather it would require only that sources above certain threshold levels monitor and report emissions. This sector was originally proposed in the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule. Subpart W was re-proposed in April 2010 due to public comment. It is now being finalized.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for Additional Sources of Fluorinated GHGs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, EPA is finalizing reporting requirements for five source categories: (1) Electronics Manufacturing, (2) Fluorinated Gas Production, (3) Use of Electrical Transmission and Distribution Equipment, (4) Manufacture or Refurbishment of Electrical Equipment, and (5) Importers of Pre-charged Equipment and Closed-Cell Foams. The purpose of this rule is to collect accurate and comprehensive emissions data to inform future climate change policies. In a notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2009, as required by the FY2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, EPA proposed reporting requirements for a number of different source categories including Electronics Manufacturing, Use of Electrical Transmission and Distribution Equipment, and Fluorinated Gas Production. Due to the complexity of comments received, EPA did not finalize requirements for Electronics Manufacturing, Use of Electrical Transmission and Distribution Equipment, and Fluorinated Gas Production, and re-proposed reporting requirements for those three source categories in an April 2010 notice of proposed rulemaking (75 FR 18652). In addition, in that April 2010 proposed rule, EPA also proposed reporting requirements for Manufacture or Refurbishment of Electrical Equipment and for Importers of Pre-Charged Equipment and Closed-Cell Foam. In this final action, EPA is finalizing the reporting requirements for all five source categories.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Corporate Parent and NAICS Code in the Greenhouse Gas Mandatory Reporting Rule Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA recently finalized the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Mandatory Reporting Rule (signed September 22, 2009). This rule requires facilities with direct GHG emissions over 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), suppliers of petroleum, natural gas, and industrial gases as well as vehicle and engine manufacturers outside the light duty sector to report to EPA annually. The data collection started on January 1, 2010, and the first reports to EPA are due on March 31, 2011. As part of that first report, EPA would require through this rulemaking that reporters also include (1) the legal name, physical address, and percent ownership for all parent companies linked to the reporting facility; (2) their primary and all other applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code(s); and (3) an indication of whether or not any of their reported emissions are from a cogeneration unit. In developing the final September 2009 rule, EPA received comments that this type of information would be useful to the public and EPA. Therefore, this rule would require these three data elements in the annual GHG emissions reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Protocol Gas Verification Program, and Minimum Competency Requirements for Air Emission Testing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends two provisions in 40 CFR part 75 (emission monitoring for cap and trade programs): (1) a Protocol Gas Verification Program (PGVP) to better ensure the accuracy of calibration gases used by affected sources and regulatory agencies; and (2) minimum competency requirements for Air Emission Testing Bodies (AETB) also known as stack test companies, when performing stack testing under 40 CFR part 75. These two provisions were originally published in the FR as a final rule on January 24, 2008, but EPA was sued on both provisions. The amendments are described below.

The old PGVP provision was alleged to have violated the Miscellaneous Receipts Act by improperly augmenting EPA's appropriation in arranging for payment of a formerly Agency funded audit program with private funds and a key document was not in the docket. The amended PGVP provision remedies these averred deficiencies by providing for payment to the National Institute of Standards and Technology which has statutory authority to receive such funds, and by ensuring that all relevant material will be placed in the docket.

The old AETB provision allegedly placed enforceable competency requirements on affected sources which did not have total control in implementing those requirements and which further allegedly provided insufficient time for power plants with in-house stack test teams to comply. The amended AETB provision relies on certain documentation provided at the time of stack testing as sufficient proof of validity of test data that otherwise meets the requirements of part 75, and extends the compliance deadline.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Action to Ensure Authority to Issue Permits Under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration Program to Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions:  Finding of Substantial Inadequacy and SIP Call</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is finalizing actions that may authorize state, local, or tribal air permitting authorities (collectively "states") or the EPA to issue permits under the CAA New Source Review PSD program for sources of GHGs as early as January 2, 2011, which is when some of those sources will be required to obtain PSD permits in order to undertake construction or modification projects. These actions apply to states whose SIP PSD programs fail to apply to GHG sources. For each of these states, EPA, acting pursuant to the authority of the CAA provisions governing requirements for SIPs, proposed to issue a finding that the state's PSD SIP is substantially inadequate to comply with the CAA PSD requirements, and EPA is also finalizing to require the state (through a "SIP call") to revise its SIP as necessary to correct such inadequacies. Such a SIP revision, when approved by EPA, would authorize the state to issue PSD permits to GHG sources. In a companion notice, EPA proposes a federal implementation plan ("FIP"), which EPA would finalize if a state fails to make the required SIP submission and which would authorize EPA to issue the PSD permits to the GHG sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is responsible for developing the fuel economy labels that are posted on window stickers of all new light duty cars and trucks sold in the U.S. and, beginning with the 2011 model year, on all new medium-duty passenger vehicles (a category that includes large sport-utility vehicles and passenger vans). In 2006, EPA updated how the city and highway fuel economy values are calculated, to better reflect typical real-world driving patterns and provide more realistic fuel economy estimates. Since then, increasing market penetration of advanced technology vehicles, in particular plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles, will require new metrics to effectively convey information to consumers. This action will amend the way in which fuel economy estimates are calculated and/or displayed. The changes in this action will not impact the Corporate Average Fuel Economy requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have recently jointly proposed to redesign and add information to the current fuel economy label that is posted on the window sticker of all new cars and light-duty trucks sold in the U.S. The redesigned label will provide new information to American consumers about the fuel economy and consumption, fuel costs, and environmental impacts associated with purchasing new vehicles beginning with model year 2012 cars and trucks. This action will also develop new labels for certain advanced technology vehicles, which are poised to enter the U.S. market, in particular plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles. 

NHTSA and EPA are proposing these changes because the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 imposes several new labeling requirements, because the labels for conventional vehicles can be improved to help consumers make more informed vehicle purchase decisions, and because the time is right to develop new labels for advanced technology vehicles that are being commercialized.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Both EPA and NHTSA have authority over labeling requirements related to fuel economy and environmental information under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) and the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), respectively. In order to implement that authority in the most coordinated and efficient way, the agencies have jointly proposed to revise the Fuel Economy label.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The rulemaking proposal includes an alternative label that is being considered in addition to the Agencys primary proposal.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The primary costs associated with this proposed rule come from revisions to the fuel economy label and codifying testing requirements for EVs and PHEVs. This rule is not economically significant under E.O. 12866 or any DOT or EPA policies and procedures because it does not exceed $100 million or meet other related standards. The primary benefits associated with this proposed rule come from any improvements in consumer decisionmaking that may lead to reduced vehicle and fuel costs for them. There may be additional effects on criteria pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions. At this time, EPA and NHTSA do not believe it is feasible to fully develop a complete benefits analysis of the potential benefits.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The failure to finalize updated conventional vehicle fuel economy labels and to create new labels for EVs and PHEVs will result in labels that are unhelpful and potentially misleading for consumers as they seek to select more energy efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles that meet their needs.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>2011 Renewable Fuel Volume Standards as Required by Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to EISA, EPA finalized the RFS2 program regulations. However, under EISA, EPA is required to promulgate regulations that specify the annual statutory volume requirements for renewable fuels, including cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel that must be used in transportation fuel in each year. In the case of the cellulosic biofuel standard, EISA specifically requires that the standard be set based on the volume projected to be available during the following year. If the volumes are lower than those specified under EISA, then EPA may also lower the advanced biofuel and total renewable fuel standards each year accordingly. This regulatory action, establishes these annual statutory volume requirements for cellulosic, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and renewable fuels that apply to all gasoline and diesel produced or imported in year 2011. This regulation, thus, sets the final standards for renewable fuels required in year 2011. Entities potentially affected by this final rule are those involved with the production, distribution, and sale of transportation fuels, including gasoline and diesel fuel or renewable fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources:  Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters</RULE_TITLE>
        <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). This regulatory action will finalize emission standards for boilers and process heaters located at major sources. Section 112(d)(2) requires that emission standards for major sources be based on the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). Industrial boilers and institutional/commercial boilers are on the list of section 112(c)(6) source categories. In this rulemaking, EPA will finalize standards for these source categories.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA estimates the total national capital cost for the final rule to be approximately $9.5 billion in the year 2013, with a total national annual cost of $2.9 billion in the year 2013. The annual cost, which considers fuel savings, includes control device operation and maintenance as well as monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and performance testing. EPA estimates that implementation of the rulemaking, as proposed, would reduce nationwide emissions from major source boilers and process heaters by: 15,000 pounds per year of mercury, 3,200 tpy of non-mercury metals, 37,000 tpy of HCl, 50,000 tpy of PM, 340,000 tpy of SO2, 722 grams per year of dioxin and 1,800 tpy of volatile organic compounds. These emissions reductions would lead to the following annual health benefits. In 2013, this rule will protect public health by avoiding 1,900 to 4,800 premature deaths, 1,300 cases of chronic bronchitis, 3,000 nonfatal heart attacks, 3,200 hospital and emergency room visits, 3,000 cases of acute bronchitis, 250,000 days when people miss work, 33,000 cases of aggravated asthma, and 1,500,000 acute respiratory symptoms. The monetized value of the benefits ranges from $17 billion to $41 billion in 2013--outweighing the costs by at least $14 billion.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Remaining Air Quality Designations for the 2006 24-Hour Fine Particle National Ambient Air Quality Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 13, 2009, EPA designated 31 areas across the country as nonattainment for the 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. These air quality designations were based on 2005-2007 data and analyses, with EPA taking into consideration 2006-2008 air quality monitoring data. EPAs evaluation of 2006-2008 air quality monitoring data indicated that monitors in three areas which had not violated the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS based on 2005-2007 data were now violating the standards based on 2006-2008 data. These monitors are located in Pinal County, AZ (2006-2008 24-hour design value of 48); Plumas County, CA (2006-2008 24-hour design value of 49); and, Shasta County, CA (2006-2008 24-hour design value of 48). For the three newly violating areas, EPA did not finalize initial designations. Because these areas are newly violating the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS, EPA and the states and tribes in these areas needed further information in order to determine the appropriate nonattainment area boundaries for these areas, in accordance with the process that EPA has used for other nonattainment area designations, per section 107(d). In this final action, EPA will complete air quality designations for these three areas, and by doing so, for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Modifications to Renewable Fuel Standard Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007), Congress amended the Clean Air Act (CAA) to change requirements for the existing Renewable Fuel Standard program. The final regulations promulgating changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard program ("RFS2 regulations") were published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2010 (75 FR 14670). Since publication, EPA has discovered a number of technical errors and areas within the final RFS2 regulations that could benefit from clarification.

Many of the amendments address grammatical or typographical errors, or provide clarifications to the regulatory language. A few amendments are being made in order to correct regulatory language that inadvertently misrepresented our intent as reflected in the preamble to the final RFS2 regulations. Examples of amendments included in this rule are a clarification that the independent engineering reviews can be conducted by a licensed professional engineer, rather than the more limited Professional Chemical Engineer and a clarification that the renewable biomass aggregate compliance approach applies to feedstocks from existing U.S. agricultural land, rather than to U.S. producers of renewable fuel. 

The final RFS2 regulations will become effective July 1, 2010. This technical amendments package is important in order to correct technical errors and address areas in the regulations that need clarification simultaneous with the effective date of the final regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other Amendments to Certain Provisions of the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has conducted and will continue to conduct extensive outreach with stakeholders affected by and interested in the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. In response to questions received during these stakeholder meetings, EPA is proposing amendments to make clarifying and technical changes to nineteen subparts of the final rule that were either not clear, or did not have the intended effect, including correcting the location of monitoring equipment or emissions factors. This action would make relatively minor changes that ease implementation. It would not fundamentally change the structure of the program or its requirements. This proposal is complementary to the proposed rulemaking: Revision of Certain Provisions of the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule, signed July 20, 2010. Together, these two proposed rulemakings address the most significant questions raised during implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As indicated in the final rule for the Renewable Fuels Standard Program, while the Agency issued lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) threshold determinations for the major fuel pathways projected to meet the bulk of the RFS volume mandates, assessments of other new fuel pathways such biofuels produced from palm oil, could not be completed in time for the final rule. In the process of assessing these fuels, the Agency is issuing determinations through several supplemental notices to the final rule.

For this supplemental notice, EPA plans to publish a final determination for ethanol produced and biomass-based diesel produced from palm oil. The Agency will issue a Direct Final Notice of Supplemental Determination in early November.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is finalizing a federal implementation plan (FIP) to apply in any state that is unable to submit, by its specified deadline, a corrective state implementation plan (SIP) revision to ensure that the state has authority to issue permits under the Clean Air Act's New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration ("PSD") program for sources of greenhouse gases ("GHGs"). This final action is a companion rulemaking to RIN 2060-AQ08, "Action to Ensure Authority to Issue Permits Under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration Program to Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Finding of Substantial Inadequacy and SIP Call," which is being signed and published on the same schedule; EPA finalizing a finding of substantial inadequacy and is issuing a SIP call for a number of states on grounds that their SIPs do not apply the PSD program to GHG-emitting sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Determination for Renewable Fuels Produced Under the Final RFS2 Program From Pulpwood</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As indicated in the final rule for the Renewable Fuels Standard Program, while the Agency issued lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) threshold determinations for the major fuel pathways projected to meet the bulk of the RFS volume mandates, assessments of other new fuel pathways such as renewable fuels from pulpwood could not be completed in time for the final rule. In the process of assessing these fuels, the Agency is issuing determinations through several supplemental notices to the final rule. 

For this supplemental notice, EPA plans to publish a final determination for cellulosic biofuels produced from pulpwood. The Agency will issue a Direct Final Notice of Supplemental Determination in February.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other Amendments to Certain Provisions of the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has conducted and will continue to conduct extensive outreach with stakeholders affected by and interested in the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. In response to questions received during these stakeholder meetings, EPA is proposing amendments to make clarifying and technical changes to nineteen subparts of the final rule that were either not clear, or did not have the intended effect, including correcting the location of monitoring equipment or emissions factors. This action would make relatively minor changes that ease implementation. It would not fundamentally change the structure of the program or its requirements. This proposal is complementary to the proposed rulemaking: Revision of Certain Provisions of the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule, signed July 20, 2010. Together, these two proposed rulemakings address the most significant questions raised during implementation.]]></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>Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act, 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. EPA initiated the current review in October 2008 with a workshop to discuss key policy-relevant issues around which EPA would structure the review. This review includes the preparation of an Integrated Science Assessment, Risk/Exposure Assessment, and a Policy Assessment Document by EPA, with opportunities for review by EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and the public. These documents inform the Administrator's proposed decision as to whether to retain or revise the standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Plan Requirements for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units Constructed on or Before December 9, 2004</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this Other Solid Waste Incineration (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 requesting additional data from the petitioner regarding their petition and reviewing the additional data, the Agency proposed a partial granting of the petition by proposing to delist four subcategories of stationary gas-fired turbines in April 2004. Simultaneously, the Agency proposed a stay of the effectiveness of the combustion turbine maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for new sources in those subcategories of turbines, delaying the imposition of control requirements for the proposed delisted new turbines until a final action is taken regarding the delisting. The Agency is waiting until the completion of the final Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) assessment for formaldehyde before taking final action on the petition. The final IRIS action on formaldehyde is expected to occur in fall 2011.]]></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 March 2006. There appears to be no question about the toxicity of MDI; rather the industry argues that there are little or no exposures due to the extremely low vapor pressure of MDI.]]></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 bio-assay 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>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. Carbon dioxide is currently listed as an "acceptable" total flooding substitute for ozone-depleting halons. Carbon dioxide total flooding systems are used in industrial applications such as automobile paint rooms and in marine applications such as machinery spaces. Recent changes to national fire protection industry standards reflect a need to improve personnel safety requirements for carbon dioxide systems by limiting its applications. Based on new information on the continued and growing use of carbon dioxide total flooding fire extinguishing systems, EPA is proposing to revise the listing to "acceptable subject to narrowed use limits" to ensure that the use of this agent does not pose greater risk than other substitutes that are available. Use would be limited to unoccupied areas where personnel could not be exposed to lethal concentration of the agent.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NSPS: SOCMI--Wastewater and Amendments</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 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 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 to determine compliance exist. 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.

Several commenters questioned the costs associated with the proposed rule and at least one commenter asked for a performance-based rule. The Agency is considering the comments received on the proposed rule and currently intends to issue a supplemental proposal to solicit additional public input.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 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>NESHAP: Taconite Iron Ore Processing; Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA promulgated National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Taconite Iron Ore Processing on October 30, 2003 (68 FR 61867). The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) filed a petition for review, raising several technical issues, including the alleged failure of EPA to establish emission standards for mercury and asbestos. EPA took a voluntarily remand of the mercury and asbestos standards. EPA is planning to address both remands when this NESHAP is due for the Risk and Technology Review (RTR) in 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 10, 2003, EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for miscellaneous organic chemical manufacturing. The rule is referred to as the miscellaneous organic NESHAP or the MON. The MON incorporates by reference the wastewater tank requirements in the National Emission Standards for Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants From the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry for Process Vents, Storage Vessels, Transfer Operations, and Wastewater, which EPA promulgated on April 24, 1994, and which is referred to as the hazardous organic NESHAP or the HON. On August 6, 2008 EPA proposed amending the HON, and thereby, the MON, by adding an equivalent means of emission limitation for wastewater tanks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petroleum Refinery Residual Risk Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. The final rule was signed on January 16, 2009, but was not published in the Federal Register. On October 28, 2009, EPA proposed to withdraw the residual risk and technology portions of the final rule, in order to gather better emissions information from the refining industry. On the same day, EPA finalized amendments to the rule that implements requirements for heat exchange systems under CAA section 112(d)(2).]]></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 18 MACT standards with MACT compliance dates of 2003 and earlier.]]></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>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). North Carolina submitted a petition on March 18, 2004 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 in conjunction with issuing the CAIR federal implementation plan rule. As a result of a remand of the CAIR, the legal basis for denying the PM part of North Carolina's petition no longer exists. On March 5, 2009 the D.C. Circuit of Appeals granted our motion for voluntary remand of our decision to deny North Carolina's petition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementing the 1997 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS: Section 185 Penalty Fee Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an opinion determining that EPA improperly waived the application of the section 185 penalty provision for severe and extreme nonattainment areas that failed to attain the 1-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS or standard) by their attainment date. South Coast Air Quality Management District v. EPA, 472 F.3d 882 (D.C. Cir. 2006) (SCAQMD). EPA issued on January 5, 2010, a memorandum to provide guidance on the section 185 state implementation plan (SIP) and the revisions required of severe and extreme 1-hour ozone nonattainment areas under EPAs anti-backsliding rules for the transition to the 8-hour ozone NAAQS and to provide guidance on alternative programs that may be acceptable consistent with section 172(e) of the CAA, which allows EPA through rulemaking to accept alternative programs that are no less stringent. Section 185 fee SIP revisions for 1-hour ozone nonattainment areas were due to be submitted to EPA by December 31, 2000 [see section 182(d)(3)]. This guidance has been challenged in court for a review and reconsideration. This action will establish a rulemaking that addresses how the Clean Air Act section 185 penalty fee provisions apply under the anti-backsliding provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Brick and Structural Clay Products and Clay Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will establish emission limits for hazardous air pollutants (HF, HCl and metals) emitted from brick and clay ceramics kilns and glazing operations at clay ceramics production facilities. The brick and structural clay products industry primarily includes facilities that manufacture brick, clay, pipe, roof tile, extruded floor and wall tile, and other extruded dimensional clay products from clay, shale, or a combination of the two. The manufacturing of brick and structural clay products involves mining, raw material processing (crushing, grinding, and screening), mixing, forming, cutting or shaping, drying, and firing. Ceramics are defined as a class of inorganic, nonmetallic solids that are subject to high temperature in manufacture and/or use. The clay ceramics manufacturing source category includes facilities that manufacture traditional ceramics, which include ceramic tile, dinnerware, sanitaryware, pottery, and porcelain. The primary raw material used in the manufacture of these traditional ceramics is clay. The manufacturing of clay ceramics involves raw material processing (crushing, grinding, and screening), mixing, forming, shaping, drying, glazing, and firing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead Emissions From Piston-Engine Aircraft Using Leaded Aviation Gasoline</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this action is to further respond to a petition submitted by Friends of the Earth (FOE) in 2006. In the petition, FOE requests that EPA find that lead emissions from general aviation aircraft may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare and that EPA propose emissions standards under the Clean Air Act for lead from general aviation aircraft. Alternatively, FOE requests that EPA commence a study and investigation of the health and environmental impacts of lead emissions from general aviation aircraft, if EPA believes that insufficient information exists to make such a finding. In 2007 EPA issued a Federal Register notice seeking comment on FOE's petition. The notice asked a series of questions seeking information on exposure to lead emissions from general aviation aircraft, lead emission rates from general aviation aircraft, unleaded aviation fuel options, and engine technology.

EPA has long-standing concerns regarding exposure to lead, particularly during childhood. The most recent lead National Ambient Air Quality Standards review, finalized in 2008, found that serious health effects occur at much lower levels of lead in blood than previously identified and did not identify a safe level of lead exposure. Emissions of lead from piston-engine aircraft using leaded aviation gasoline (avgas) comprise over half of the national inventory of lead emitted to air. There are almost 20,000 airport facilities in the U.S. at which leaded avgas is used. This action will describe the lead inventory related to use of leaded avgas, air quality and exposure information, additional information the Agency is collecting related to the impact of lead emissions from piston-engine aircraft on air quality and will request comments on this information.]]></ABSTRACT>

It will address both EPA's obligation under Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112(f)(2) and 112(d)(6) to conduct a residual risk review and to conduct a technology review.  Under the "technology review" provision of the 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 if required to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public healthy or prevent an adverse environmental effect.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Residual Risk and Technology Review Amendments to the Phosphoric Acid and Phosphate Fertilizer Production NESHAPs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Phosphate rock is the primary raw material for phosphoric acid, which in turn is the raw material for phosphate fertilizer. These two rules are grouped together because their production processes are usually located at the same facility. Part 63 NESHAPs for phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizer (subparts AA and BB, respectively) were promulgated in June 1999. Facilities subject to these rules were required to be in compliance by June 2002. 

The Clean Air Act requires EPA to address the risk remaining to the public (i.e., a 'risk review') within eight years after promulgation of the MACT standards. We must also conduct a technology review of the source categories within eight years to determine whether new technology exists to reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) below the levels established by the MACT standards. For purposes of expediency, these two reviews are combined together and called a risk and technology review, or RTR.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Method 16C is used to determine total reduced sulfur emissions and is being proposed as an alternative to Methods 16, 16A, and 16B for regulated facilities in kraft pulp mills (subpart BB of 40 CFR 60) and other industries that emit these compounds. Method 16C combines the sample oxidation technology of Method 16A with the instrumental technology of Method 6C to provide a user-friendly, real-time procedure. The Agency has allowed its use in the past on a case-by-case basis and now believes it should be made available for general use. This method is not required under any rule and does not add any new testing requirement to the current regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Residual Risk and Technology Review Amendments to the Secondary Aluminum Production NESHAP</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A secondary aluminum production facility means any establishment using clean charge, aluminum scrap, or dross from aluminum production as the raw material for processing. The existing 40 CFR part 63, subpart RRR National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Secondary Aluminum Production facilities was promulgated in 2000. This rule regulates Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) from facilities that are major sources of HAP that operate aluminum scrap shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, group 2 furnaces, sweat furnaces, dross only furnaces, rotary dross coolers, and secondary aluminum processing units (SAPUs). SAPUs include group 1 furnaces and in-line fluxers. Area sources of HAP are regulated only with respect to emissions of dioxins/furans (D/F) from thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, sweat furnaces, and SAPUs. Facilities subject to these rules were required to be in compliance by March 2003.

Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs EPA to conduct risk assessments on each source category subject to maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards and determine if additional standards are needed to reduce residual risks. The section 112(f)(2) residual risk review is to be done within 8 years after promulgation. Section 112(d)(6) of the CAA requires EPA to review and revise the MACT standards, as necessary, taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies. The section 112(d)(6) technology review is to be done at least every 8 years. These risk and technology reviews for secondary aluminum production facilities will be conducted in this rulemaking, which will address possible residual risks, technology advancements, and technical deficiencies in the existing rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision: 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 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, 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. 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 importance of this effort.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of the Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Sulfur Dioxide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act, 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 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 received on the November 1994 proposal, that significant revisions to the primary and secondary NAAQS for SO2 would not be made at that time. In 2006, EPA's Office of Research and Development 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. Subsequently, the decision was made to separate the reviews of the primary and secondary SO2 standards, and to combine the SO2 secondary-standard review with the secondary-standard review of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) due to their linkage in terms of effects and atmospheric chemistry. That joint review of the SO2 and NO2 secondary standards is part of a separate regulatory action described elsewhere in this Regulatory Plan under the identifying number (RIN) 2060-AO72. The regulatory action described here is for the Agency's review of the primary SO2 NAAQS. This review includes the preparation of an Integrated Science Assessment, Risk/Exposure Assessment, and a Policy Assessment. These documents were reviewed by EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and the public. These documents inform the Administrator's proposed decision as to whether to retain or revise the standards. A final rule was published in the Federal Register (75 FR 35520) on June 22, 2010. The final rule is effective on August 23, 2010. EPA is revising the primary SO2 NAAQS to provide requisite protection of public health with an adequate margin of safety. Specifically, EPA is establishing a new 1-hour SO2 standard at a level of 75 parts per billion based on the 3-year average of the annual 99th percentile of 1-hour daily maximum concentrations. EPA is also revoking both the existing 24-hour and annual primary SO2 standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Portland Cement Notice of Reconsideration and NSPS for Portland Cement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) was promulgated June 14, 1999, and has been codified in 40 Code of Federal Regulations 63, Subpart LLL. This rule regulates emissions of air toxics from all facilities that produce Portland cement from raw materials such as limestone. (Note that cement kilns that burn hazardous waste are covered under a different air toxics rule). The Sierra Club and the National Lime Association petitioned the court to review Subpart LLL, while the American Portland Cement Alliance (APCA, now the Portland Cement Association - PCA) opted to negotiate a settlement agreement. (Note that a separate rulemaking amended Subpart LLL to implement the settlement agreement with the APCA -- SAN 4524, RIN 2060-AJ57, Tier 3.) On December 15, 2000, a panel of the D.C. Circuit issued its opinion in National Lime Association v. EPA. The Court remanded the three standards for which we established floors of no control (hydrogen chloride [HCl], total hydrocarbon [THC], and mercury [Hg]). The Court found that we committed error in not considering other means of control, in particular, control of HAPs in raw materials and in fossil fuels. The Court also remanded that we consider setting beyond-the-floor standards for HAP metals, for which particulate matter (PM) is a surrogate. 

On December 20, 2006, EPA published final amendments to the Portland cement air toxics rule to respond to the December 2000 remand (SAN 4585, RIN 2060-AJ78, Tier 3). 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 toxic air pollutants), and a reconsideration of the ban on the use of certain mercury containing fly ash in both new and existing cement 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. EPA also granted a petition to reconsider the existing source emissions limits for mercury and THC, and also our decision not to regulate hydrochloric acid emissions. As part of this reconsideration, EPA has conducted extensive data gathering and analysis, including requirements for emissions testing. 

Based on evaluation of the gathered data, on May 6, 2009, EPA proposed numerical emissions limits for mercury, total hydrocarbons, and hydrochloric acid for both new and existing cement kilns In addition, we significantly lowered the cement kiln new and existing source particulate matter standards 

In addition this action will address New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) criteria pollutants from new stationary sources. The Portland Cement NSPS were originally promulgated in 1971, and last reviewed in 1988. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act requires that NSPS be reviewed every 8 years, and revised as appropriate, so the review is overdue. Amendments to the NSPS were proposed on June 16 2008, under a different rulemaking (2060-A042). EPA has combined the NSPS amendments and the rulemaking on air toxics into one action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112 (k) of the Clean Air Act requires the development of standards for area sources that account for 90% of the emissions in urban areas of the 30 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. The Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy lists paints and allied products manufacturing as an area source category. This action will revise the definition of target HAP-containing material to add, "or greater than 1.0 percent for noncarcinogens." The definition already indicates that target HAP-containing material includes carcinogens present in amounts greater than 0.1 percent. The level for noncarcinogens was inadvertently omitted from the rule. Inclusion of 1.0 percent and 0.1 percent levels for noncarcinogens and carcinogens, respectively, is consistent with the TRI and OSHA Hazard Communications levels and other recent area source rules.]]></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. It may be necessary for EPA to consider amending the certification test requirements for deposit control additives to account for the changes in vehicle technology and gasoline composition that occurred since 1996.  However, there is no compelling environmental or other need to do so at this time.  Therefore, EPA is deferring taking action to amend the gasoline deposit program indefinitely]]></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 nitrogen oxides (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 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 other components of which would consist of the new amendments to MARPOL Annex VI that will extend these standards to foreign vessels (through the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships) and pursuing Emission Control Area (ECA) designation for U.S. coastal areas in accordance with MARPOL Annex VI. Implementation of this coordinated strategy 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. EPA finalized this rule on December 18, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

However, the Agency will be posting on the Office of Transportation and Quality's website an updated list of qualifying vehicles based on the proposed gasoline to hybrid comparison methodology. This regulation establishes criteria for certifying a vehicle as low emitting and energy-efficient. State High-Occupancy-Vehicle (HOV) programs will reference this regulation in their request to Federal Highway Administration for exceptions to the 2-person minimum occupancy HOV requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is finalizing regulations under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program to establish new increments, significant impact levels (SILs) and a significant monitoring concentration (SMC) for fine particulate matter (particles with an aerometric diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers, PM2.5). These regulations are consistent with section 166 of the Clean Air Act which authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency to establish regulations to prevent significant deterioration of air quality due to emissions of any pollutant for which National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) have been promulgated. The NAAQS for PM2.5 were promulgated in 1997. 

To help facilitate the states implementation of the preconstruction review permit process, this action will also establish screening tools (SILs and SMC) to determine when sources must complete analyses to satisfy specific requirements associated with the evaluation of PM2.5 impacts.]]></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. This rule also amended the gasoline benzene regulations to allow disqualified small refiners the same opportunity to generate gasoline benzene credits as that afforded to non-small refiners and this proposed and final rule was finalized on May 3, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>EPA/NHTSA Joint Rulemaking to Establish Light-Duty Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards and Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA finalized plans to set national emissions standards under section 202 (a) of the Clean Air Act to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from passenger cars and light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles, as part of a joint rulemaking with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This joint rulemaking effort was announced by President Obama on May 19, 2009. EPA and NHTSA published a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register on September 28, 2009. The GHG standards would significantly reduce the GHG emissions from these light-duty vehicles. The standards will be phased in beginning with the 2012 model year through model year 2016. The joint final rule is expected to be signed by EPA and NHTSA by March 31, 2010. EPA's final action follows EPA's final findings, published December 15, 2009, that emissions of greenhouse gases may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, and that emissions from new motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines contribute to the atmospheric concentrations of these greenhouse gases and hence to the threat of climate change. This rule was finalized on April 1, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule allocates essential use allowances for the import and production of Class I ozone depleting substances for 2010. 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. The production of these chemicals was phased out internationally due to their harmful effects on the earth's ozone layer. EPA has promulgated rules to allocate new production under this exemption since the 1996 phase out. The essential users under this rulemaking are manufacturers of important medical devices such as asthma inhalers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: The 2010 Critical Use Exemption From the Phaseout of Methyl Bromide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action authorizes uses that qualify for the 2010 critical use exemption from the phaseout of methyl bromide, and authorizes the amount of methyl bromide that may be produced, imported, or supplied from inventory for those uses in 2010. EPA took this action under the authority of the Clean Air Act to reflect consensus Decisions taken by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer at the 20th Meeting of the Parties. The Parties have approved critical use methyl bromide every year since the phaseout in 2005. Since this rulemaking confers a benefit by exempting the production and use of a phased-out chemical, there is no significant adverse impact on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will establish initial air quality designations for all areas of the United States under the revised 2008 lead NAAQS. 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. EPA is required to make the final initial designations no later than 2 years from the October 15, 2008 promulgation of the revised NAAQS, although EPA can extend this deadline by up to 1 year if necessary to gather additional information.  Therefore, the EPA will finalize a first round of designations by 11/00/10, and will complete a second round in 11/00/11 to consider additional data being collected from the expanded lead monitoring network promulgated with the final lead NAAQS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration/Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, EPA applies a tailored approach to the applicability major source thresholds for greenhouse gases under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and title V programs of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) by raising those thresholds. EPA is has issued this rulemaking because greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will become subject to regulation pursuant to the CAA as of January 2, 2011.

One consequence of our subjecting GHG emissions to regulatory controls is that the requirements of existing air permit programs, namely the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) preconstruction permitting program for major stationary sources and the title V operating permits program, would be triggered for GHG emission sources. At the statutory applicability levels under the CAA, tens of thousands of projects every year would need permits under the PSD program, and millions of sources would become subject to the title V program. These numbers of permits are orders of magnitude greater than the current number of permits under these permitting programs and would vastly exceed the administrative capacity of the permitting authorities. By tailoring the applicability thresholds, this rule allows actions to be taken by EPA and states to build capacity and streamline permitting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Control Technology Determinations for Major Sources in Accordance With Clean Air Act Sections, Sections 112(g) and 112(j)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by Clean Air Act section 112(j), in cases where EPA fails to promulgate a Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standard for a major source category, the owner or operator of a source in that category must obtain an operating permit with case-by-case emission limitations determined to be equivalent to MACT. EPA's program for implementing this requirement is codified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart B. In this action, we are revising subpart B to address the process for obtaining case-by-case MACT determinations in the case of standards vacatur. We are also reformatting the rule to streamline it and make it easier to understand. There has been significant confusion from permitting authorities on how this program works in the case of vacaturs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation To Establish Mandatory Reporting of GHGs From Industrial Landfills, Wastewater, Underground Coal Mines, and Magnesium Production</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2009, EPA finalized a rule establishing GHG reporting requirements for approximately 10,000 facilities and suppliers in the U.S. (74 FR 56260). There were a few source categories originally included in the proposed rule (74 FR 16448) that were not included in the final rule promulgated in October in order to provide EPA more time to review and respond to the comments. Several of those delayed source categories are being re-proposed in separate actions. After further review of the comments, we determined that four of the remaining source categories, Industrial Wastewater, Industrial Landfills, Underground Coal Mines, and Magnesium Production, do not need to be re-proposed but rather we are responding to the comments and going final with those subparts in this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tier II Light-Duty Vehicle and Light-Duty Truck Emission Standards and Gasoline Sulfur Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 10, 2000 (65 FR 6698), EPA promulgated a regulation to require emission standards for light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks through lowering tailpipe emission standards. Specifically, EPA sought to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and non-methane hydrocarbons, pollutants which contribute to ozone pollution. The rulemaking also provided limitations on the sulfur content of gasoline available nationwide. Sulfur in gasoline has a detrimental impact on catalyst performance and could be a limiting factor in the introduction of advanced technologies on motor vehicles.

Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, on February 19, 2010, EPA initiated a review of this rule to determine if it should be continued without change, or should be rescinded or amended to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities (75 FR 7426). EPA has solicited comments on, the following factors: (1) The continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. No relevant comments were received, and EPA has concluded that the rule needs no revisions at this time to minimize impacts on small entities. See EPA's report summarizing the results of this review in the docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0052. This docket can be accessed at www.regulations.gov.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minor Harmonizing Changes to General Provisions of the GHG Mandatory Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action was finalized in the rule that was published on July 14, 2010 (75 FR 39736). It made minor harmonizing changes to the general provisions for the greenhouse gas reporting rule (40 CFR part 98, subpart A) to accommodate the addition of source categories not included in the 2009 final rule. This included subparts proposed in April 2009 but not finalized in 2009, and any new subparts that may be proposed in the future. The rule updated 40 CFR 98.2(a) on rule applicability and 40 CFR 98.3 regarding the reporting schedule to accommodate any additional subparts and the schedule for their reporting obligations (e.g., source categories finalized in 2010 would not begin reporting until 2011 and reporting in 2012).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Amendments for Marine Spark-Ignition Engines and Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the final rulemaking for new exhaust and evaporative emissions standards for nonroad spark-ignition engines, vessels, and equipment (73 FR 59034, October 8, 2008), EPA established first-ever evaporative emissions standards for marine vessels. For one small subset of marine fuel tanks (portable tanks), further evaluation of the design standard for diurnal emissions has raised a concern that fuel spillage may occur under certain circumstances. We have engaged the industry to identify a simple, safe, and emissions neutral solution to this issue. The purpose of this action is to make technical amendments to the design standard for portable tanks that will allow for this solution. In addition, we also intend to incorporate safe recommended practices, developed through industry consensus, for portable marine fuel tanks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the New Source Review Program for Particulate Matter (PM) Less Than 2.5 MicrometersFinal Rule to End NSR Transition Period for Condensable PM</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is withdrawing this action because EPA is announcing in the final under SAN 5147 titled "Methods for Measurement of Filterable PM10 and PM2.5 and Measurement of Condensable Particulate Matter Emissions from Stationary Sources" that we will not be revising its major New Source Review (NSR) regulations to replace the originally-announced date for ending the NSR transition period for condensable particulate matter (CPM) with an earlier closing date. The NSR transition period was scheduled to remain in effect from July 15, 2008 until January 1, 2011, or an earlier date depending on EPAs final action to revise the test methods for measuring stack concentrations of CPM. Now that the expected effective date for the test method is approaching January 1, 2011, the scheduled closing date of the NSR transition period, there is no longer a practical need to address the issue of shortening the NSR transition period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As indicated in the final rule for the Renewable Fuels Standard Program, while the Agency issued lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) threshold determinations for the major fuel pathways projected to meet the bulk of the RFS volume mandates, assessments of other new fuel pathways such as biodiesel from canola could not be completed in time for the final rule. In the process of assessing these fuels, the Agency is issuing determinations through several supplemental notices to the final rule. 

For this supplemental notice, EPA plans to publish a final determination for biomass-based diesel produced from canola oil. The Agency will issue a Direct Final Notice of Supplemental Determination in mid-September.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reconsideration of the 2008 Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 12, 2008, EPA announced the final decision on the ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Soon after that decision was signed on 3/27/08 (73 FR 16436), the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) held an unsolicited public meeting and criticized EPA for setting primary and secondary standards that were not consistent with advice provided by the CASAC during review of the NAAQS. On 7/25/08, several environmental and industry petitioners, as well as a number of States, sued EPA on the NAAQS decision, and the Court set a briefing schedule for the consolidated cases on 12/23/08. On 3/10/09, EPA requested that the Court vacate the briefing schedule and hold the consolidated cases in abeyance for 180 days. This request for extension was made to allow time for appropriate EPA officials appointed by the new Administration to determine whether the standards established in March 2008 should be maintained, modified or otherwise reconsidered. This action has been combined with the Reconsideration of the 2008 Primary Ozone NAAQS (2060-AP98).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Deadline for Action on Section 126 Petition From New Jersey</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this procedural action, EPA extended by six additional months the deadline for taking action on a petition submitted by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection under section 126 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Section 126 requires EPA to grant or deny a petition within 60 days. The petition was received on May 13, 2010  this provided us with a July 12, 2010 deadline. However, the CAA authorizes EPA to grant a time extension of up to 6 months for responding to a petition if EPA that the extension is necessary, among other things, to meet the purposes of the CAAs rulemaking requirements. Actions under section 126 are subject to notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements. EPA determined that the 60-day time period was not sufficient for EPA to develop an adequate proposal on the petition and to allow for public input on the proposal. As a result of this extension, the deadline for EPA to act on the petition is January 12, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Data Requirements for Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs) and Certain Exemptions for PIPs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will propose codifying data requirements that specifically address the registration data needs of plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs). These data requirements are intended to provide EPA with data and other information necessary for the registration of a PIP or the issuance of an experimental use permit for a PIP. 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 PIP 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 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. Also, EPA will propose to exempt cisgenic PIPs from registration to encourage research and development of useful biotechnology and reduce the number of PIPs seeking registration. Cisgenic PIPs are formed when genetic material is transferred, using bioengineering technology, between plants that could transfer the genetic material naturally.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will revise and update EPA's existing regulations in 40 CFR part 152, subpart E. The proposal will address changes to procedures for the protection of exclusive use and data compensation rights of individuals and entities that submit data to the Agency in support of a pesticide registration decision (i.e., data submitters). The revisions are to accommodate statutory and procedural changes that have occurred over the last 25 years since issuance in 1984. The revisions would simplify the procedures, reduce burdens upon certain data submitters, and make minor changes to clarify the requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is planning a rulemaking to make minor revisions to 40 CFR part 156, Labeling Requirements for Pesticides and Devices. The purpose of this effort is to update the structure of the regulation and make several clarifying changes.

        <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 Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This action is needed to clarify PIP regulations for the Agency and PIP developers, producers and farmers. Section 7 of FIFRA requires producers of pesticides to register their establishments with EPA and to submit annual reports stating the amounts of pesticides produced at each establishment. However, neither the Act nor the regulations promulgated under section 7 specifically address what constitutes the production of PIPs, or what units are relevant for purposes of reporting amounts of PIPs produced. This has led to inconsistency and confusion in the registration of PIP-producing establishments and in the reporting of units of PIPs produced. Members of the PIP production industry have indicated that they are uncertain of their legal obligations for PIPs under FIFRA section 7 and have requested guidance on these matters. The Agency reviewed the concerns raised by industry and other stakeholders and reached the conclusion that, because of problems inherent in the application of the current regulations to this class of pesticides known as PIPs, EPA is unable to provide guidance. As written, the current regulations have been difficult to enforce with respect to PIPs. Ambiguity regarding the applicability of section 7 requirements makes it difficult for EPA and regulators in States and tribes to monitor production and subsequent distribution, sale and use of products, and can cause difficulties with respect to compliance inspection and enforcement. State and tribal involvement in compliance oversight can be greatly complicated by a lack of clear compliance requirements. This uncertainty may be resolved by a substantive modification of the regulations through rulemaking.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[EPA has regulatory authority to promulgate regulations under FIFRA sections 3(a), 8(a), 25(a), and 25(b) (7 U.S.C. 136a(a), 136f(a), 136w(a), and 136w(b)). 

PIPs are pesticides under FIFRA section 2 because they are introduced into plants with the intention of "preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest." (7 U.S.C. 136(u)).

Under FIFRA section 2, any person who manufactures, prepares, compounds, propagates or processes any pesticide is a "producer." (7 U.S.C. 136(w)). FIFRA section 7 requires that producers of pesticides register the establishments where production occurs and requires that producers report their annual production (7 U. S. C. 136e). In addition, FIFRA section 8 provides that EPA may issue regulations requiring producers to maintain records with respect to their operations and to make such records available for inspection (7 U. S. C. 136f). Under FIFRA section 9, appropriately credentialed inspectors have the authority to conduct inspections at pesticide producing establishments, or other places where pesticides are being held for distribution or sale, for the purpose of inspecting products, labels and records, and for obtaining samples (7 U. S. C. 136g).

FIFRA section 3(a) states that "[t]o the extent necessary to prevent unreasonable adverse effects on the environment, the Administrator may by regulation limit the distribution, sale, or use in any State of any pesticide that is not registered under this Act and that is not the subject of an experimental use permit under section 5 or an emergency exemption under section 18."

FIFRA section 8(a) states that "[t]he Administrator may prescribe regulations requiring producers, registrants, and applicants for registration to maintain such records with respect to their operations and the pesticides and device produced as the Administrator determines are necessary for the effective enforcement of this Act and to make the records available for inspection and copying in the same manner as provided in [FIFRA section 8(b)] ."

FIFRA section 25(a) states that "[t]he Administrator is authorized in accordance with the procedure described in [sec. 25(a)(2) of the Act], to prescribe regulations to carry out the provisions of this Act. Such regulations shall take into account the difference in concept and usage between various classes of pesticides, including public health pesticides, and differences in environmental risk and the appropriate data for evaluating such risk between agricultural, nonagricultural, and public health pesticides."

FIFRA section 25(b) states that "[t]he Administrator may exempt from the requirements of this Act by regulation any pesticide which the Administrator determines either (1) to be adequately regulated by another Federal agency, or (2) to be of a character which is unnecessary to be subject to this Act in order to carry out the purposes of this Act."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Agency is conducting an economic analysis to inform decisions for the proposed rule. Anticipated benefits include greater certainty and transparency in terms of applicable requirements for these products. Since the proposed rulemaking is currently still under development, information about anticipated costs is not yet available.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rulemaking is not intended to address a specific risk associated with registered PIPs. However, facilitating compliance with FIFRA requirements could minimize potential risks associated with inadvertent noncompliance. In addition the rulemaking is intended to provide a means to identify and minimize risks associated with use of unregistered PIPs for production for export.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Synchronizing the Expiration Dates of EPA Pesticide Applicator Certificates With the Underlying State or Tribal Applicator Certificate</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Applicators of restricted-use pesticides (RUP) can be certified by States, Tribes, or non-EPA Federal agencies that have an EPA-approved certification plan (authorized agencies). As part of a proposed Federal Plan, pesticide applicators may be issued an EPA certificate which allows them to apply RUPs in entities not covered by an authorized agency (e.g., parts of Indian Country) by submitting an application form and providing documentation of an existing valid certification issued by an authorized agency, without further demonstration of competency. The EPA certificate is valid for 2 years for commercial applicators and 3 years for private applicators, or until the expiration date of the original certificate issued by the authorized agencies, whichever occurs first. Some authorized agencies now issue certificates that are valid for up to 5 years. Under the current regulations, the EPA certificate may expire before the underlining certificate that it was based on expires, requiring the applicator to resubmit the same information to renew the EPA certificate. Through this action, EPA will propose to synchronize the expiration dates so that the EPA certificate expires at the same time as the underlying state, tribal, or non-EPA federal certificate. This action will not involve any other substantive changes to the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prions; Amendment of EPAs Regulatory Definition of Pests to Include Prion</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2004, the Agency stated that it considered prions (proteinaceous infectious particles) to be a "pest" under Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (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 unless the product is exempt from registration requirements 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 protects human health and the environment against unreasonable adverse effects and ensures that such products are effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to EPA&apos;s Rule on Protections for Subjects in Human Research Involving Pesticides</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of a settlement agreement, EPA will propose revisions to the existing rule governing the protection of subjects in human research involving pesticides. The current rule, issued in 2006, provides protections for subjects in human research by (1) prohibiting research conducted or supported by EPA that would involve intentional exposure of human subjects who are children or pregnant or nursing women; (2) prohibiting EPA reliance in actions under the pesticide laws on research involving intentional exposure of children or pregnant or nursing women; (3) extending the substantive requirements of the Common Rule to the design and execution of research conducted by third-parties who intend to submit the data to EPA under the pesticide laws; and (4) establishing the Human Studies Review Board, an independent expert panel to review proposals for new research and reports of covered human research on which EPA proposes to rely under the pesticide laws. In settling this litigation, EPA agreed to propose to broaden the applicability of the 2006 rule to apply to research involving intentional exposure of a human subject to a pesticide, without limitation as to the regulatory statutes under which the data might be submitted, considered, or relied upon. The new proposed rule, therefore, would apply to all research with pesticides, as that term is defined in 7 U.S.C. 136(u) [Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), sec. 2(u)], submitted, considered, or relied upon under any regulatory statute that EPA administers. EPA also committed in the settlement agreement to propose amendments to the rule that would disallow consent by an authorized representative of a test subject and that would require the Agency, in its reviews of covered human research, to document its ethics and science considerations in terms of the recommendations articulated in the National Research Councils 2004 report, Intentional Human Dosing Studies for EPA Regulatory Purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Public Law 109-54, section 201; 5 U.S.C. 301; 42 U.S.C. 300v-1(b); 7 U.S.C. 136 to 136y; 21 U.S.C. 346a]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[This action involves proposal of amendments to the 2006 rule consistent with a negotiated settlement, followed by receipt and response to public comments and promulgation of a final rule. Because alternative educational, voluntary, incentive-based, market-based, or other non-regulatory approaches could not resolve the legal challenge to the 2006 rule, they are not being considered. EPA retains discretion to adopt a final rule that differs from its proposal.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Impacts are expected to be primarily procedural and limited to the costs of supporting the rulemaking effort itself. Expected benefits from this action will result from resolution of the litigation and establishing the stability of the rules governing regulated human research with pesticides by third parties.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Although no research is known of that would fall outside the scope of the 2006 rule but within the scope of the proposed amendment, this action addresses a perceived loophole for unethical human pesticide research to be submitted to EPA and relied on by the Agency under other regulatory statutes.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Clarifications for Microbial Pesticide Definitions and Applicability</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency intends to propose two clarifications to text found in the Microbial Pesticides Definition and Applicability section (40 CFR 158.2100). The first is a technical correction, replacing part with subpart in 40 CFR 158.2100(c)(1). The other clarification, involving revisions to 40 CFR 158.2100(c)(2), is in response to recent confusion over the distinction between isolates and strains and exactly how the Agency is considering both of these terms. In conjunction with the second change, the Agency is also developing a new microbial pesticide guideline to explain the Deposition of a Sample in a Nationally Recognized Culture Collection data requirement, which is found in the tables in 40 CFR 158.2120(c) and 40 CFR 158.2171(c). Presently, there is no guideline referenced in the tables for this requirement. Additionally, to clarify this microbial deposition data requirement, the Agency intends to propose adding a test note to the aforementioned tables, emphasizing the need for the continuing maintenance of a culture deposit to ensure it remains available in case the Agency requests a sample. Finally, the Agency is proposing to remove incorrect references in 40 CFR 158.2120 and 158.2171 to a paragraph (e) that does not exist.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Reporting of Chemical Import Data in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will consult with Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in the Department of Homeland Security, about the development of proposed regulatory revisions necessary for the implementation of electronic reporting of chemical import information in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). 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 organizational framework 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 13439 (July 18, 2007). ACE is a data warehouse 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. After testing the electronic collection of such data in ACE under the National Customs Automation Program (19 U.S.C. 1411; 19 C.F.R. 101.9), CBP will need to amend its regulations to require electronic reporting by importers into ACE. Other amendments to the regulations (e.g., relating to detention of shipments) may also be considered by CBP. For EPA, this includes amendments to related regulations under the Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which impose reporting requirements for importers and exporters of chemical substances and pesticides. Regulations regarding imports under TSCA and FIFRA are promulgated by CBP, in consultation with EPA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to add a category of eight phthalates, a category of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and bisphenol A (BPA) to a list of chemical substances that EPA finds present or may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment. EPA is proposing this rule using the authority provided under section 5(b)(4) the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). EPA is concerned that the hazards of these substances and the magnitude of human and/or environmental exposure indicates that they may present an unreasonable risk to human health and/or the environment. EPA is also proposing conforming changes to the TSCA 12(b) export notification regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA intends to designate any new manufacture or import of Short-chained Chlorinated Paraffins (SCCPs) as a "significant new use" under section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Before the chemical can be manufactured or imported for the significant new use, the company would be required to provide advance notification to EPA. This approach gives EPA the opportunity to evaluate any concerns, and if necessary, regulate future manufacture, import, or uses associated with this chemical. EPA believes that this action is necessary because these chemical substances may be hazardous to human health and the environment. The required notice will provide EPA the opportunity to evaluate intended significant new uses and associated activities before they occur and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit those uses or activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certain Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs); Test Rule and Significant New Use Rule (SNUR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is developing two simultaneous proposed rulemaking actions which it committed to take in the Chemical Action Plan for Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) released on December 30, 2009. In the first action, the Agency intends to propose amending the existing PBDE SNUR to require manufacturers and importers of the subject PBDEs to submit a significant new use notice (SNUN) to EPA before they can begin manufacturing, importing, or processing a PBDE subject to the SNUR. In the second action, EPA intends to propose a test rule to require anyone who manufactures, imports, or processes pentaBDE, octaBDE, or decaBDE after the relevant effective dates to conduct testing to obtain specific data on health effects, environmental effects, and chemical fate. PBDEs are a family of chemicals with a common structure of a brominated diphenyl ether molecule which may have anywhere from one to ten bromine atoms attached. PBDEs have been widely used as flame retardants in a number of applications: c-pentaBDE was used primarily as an additive flame retardant in flexible polyurethane foams; c-OctaBDE was used in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) plastic which was used as casing for certain electric and electronic devices used in both offices and homes. Domestic manufacture of c-pentaBDE and c-octaBDE ceased in 2004 when the Great Lakes Chemical Corporation (now Chemtura Corporation) voluntary phased out their production. In 2006 EPA promulgated a SNUR designating manufacture or import of any of six PBDEs (tetraBDE, pentaBDE, hexaBDE, heptaBDE, octaBDE, and nonaBDE) a significant new use. The 2006 SNUR does not address processing or the importation of articles containing the six PBDEs, and does not address a seventh PBDE, decabromodiphenyl ether (decaBDE), which is still manufactured and widely used in the United States. On December 17, 2009, as the result of negotiations with EPA, the two U.S. producers of decaBDE, Albemarle Corporation and Chemtura Corporation, and the largest U.S. importer, ICL Industrial Products, Inc., announced commitments to phase out production, and importation of decaBDE for most uses in the United States by December 31, 2012, and to end all uses by the end of 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing a proposal to facilitate the expanded use of electronic reporting under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This action is intended to streamline and reduce the administrative costs and burdens of submitting health and safety data, for both industry and the EPA, by establishing standards and requirements using EPAs Central Data Exchange (CDX) to electronically submit health and safety data to the Agency. Specifically, EPA is developing a proposal to amend the implementing regulations for submissions under section 4, 8(a), 8(d), and 8(e) of TSCA to facilitate the use of electronic reporting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>High Production Volume Chemicals; 4th Group of Chemicals; Test Rule and Significant New Use Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing a test rule under section 4(a)(1)(B) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of TSCA for the fourth group of high production volume (HPV) chemicals identified under the HPV Program (see RIN 2070-AD16). Of the 45 chemicals in the fourth group of HPV chemicals, currently the test rule is expected to apply to 23 chemicals. The SNUR is expected to include the other 22 chemicals. HPV chemicals are manufactured (including imported) in the aggregate at more than 1 million pounds on an annual basis. For the chemical substances to which it applies, the SNUR would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process the chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this proposed rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. This required notice would provide EPA the opportunity to evaluate intended significant new uses and associated activities before they occur and, if appropriate, to prohibit or limit those uses or activities.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA Inventory; Clarification for Chemical Identification Describing Statutory Mixtures, Including Ceramic Materials, Cements, and Frits for TSCA Inventory Purposes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is clarifying the guidance on chemical identification of certain statutory mixtures for purposes of the Toxics Substances Control Act Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory). For the initial reporting period that established the TSCA Inventory, EPA developed broad listing criteria ("category listings") for the complex reaction products known as statutory mixtures. These included ceramics, cements, and frits. Since that time, there has been inconsistent guidance for manufacturers of such substances with regard to whether new chemical notification under section 5 of TSCA was required for such new substances. Under this action, EPA will clarify which chemical substances comprise complex reaction products that fall under the "category listings" and which chemical substances (not currently on the TSCA Inventory) would be considered to be "new" chemical substances under TSCA and thus be subject to new chemical notification under TSCA section 5.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 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>

In addition, mercury can be environmentally transformed into methylmercury, which biomagnifies and is highly toxic. Human health risks associated with elemental mercury and methylmercury are well documented. Humans can be exposed from products directly to elemental mercury vapor and indirectly through fish contaminated with methylmercury.

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. In its initial prioritization of mercury in certain products, EPA considered mercury's well documented toxicity, persistence, ability to bioaccumulate, ability to be environmentally transformed into methylmercury, and its demonstrated ability to be transported globally as well as locally and the availability of effective and economically feasible alternatives for mercury in certain products.

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[EPA is evaluating whether an action (or combination of actions) under Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., is appropriate for mercury used in certain products. TSCA provides EPA with authority to require reporting, recordkeeping, and testing requirements, and restrictions relating to chemical substances and/or mixtures. Specifically, section 4 authorizes EPA to require testing of chemicals by manufacturers, importers, and processors where risks or exposures of concern are found. Section 5 authorizes EPA to require prior notice by manufacturers, importers, and processors when it identifies a "significant new use" that could result in exposures to, or releases of, a substance of concern. Section 6 gives EPA the authority to protect against unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment from chemical substances. If EPA finds that there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the chemical's manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal presents an unreasonable risk, EPA may by rule take action to: prohibit or limit manufacture, processing, or distribution in commerce; prohibit or limit the manufacture, processing, or distribution in commerce of the chemical substance above a specified concentration; require adequate warnings and instructions with respect to use, distribution, or disposal; require manufacturers or processors to make and retain records; prohibit or regulate any manner of commercial use; prohibit or regulate any manner of disposal; and/or require manufacturers or processors to give notice of the unreasonable risk of injury, and to recall products if required. Section 8 authorizes EPA to require reporting and recordkeeping by persons who manufacture, import, process, and/or distribute chemical substances in commerce.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mercury; Significant New Use Rule; Elemental Mercury Used in Barometers, Manometers, and Hygrometers/Psychrometers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) would require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacture, import, or processing of elemental mercury for use in three types of measuring devices, namely barometers, manometers, and hygrometers/psychrometers. Mercury is no longer used in these products (except one battery-powered, motor-aspirated psychrometer which is currently manufactured). EPA would consider a resumption of manufacture, import, or processing of any of the three types of devices to be a significant new use. The rule does not apply to this one psychrometer that is still manufactured. Elemental mercury in products can be released to the environment during manufacturing, use, recycling, and/or disposal. Elemental mercury is converted to methyl mercury in the environment and is a potent neurotoxin.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing a test rule under section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to require manufacturers (defined by statute to include importers) and processors of the multiwall carbon nanotube described in Premanufacture Notice (PMN) P-08-199, certain clays (e.g., kaolin (including halloysite) and bentonite (including montmorillonite)), alumina, and spray-applied nanomaterials (the chemical substances or chemicals) to conduct testing for health effects, ecological effects, and environmental fate, as well as to provide material characterization data. The resulting data will assist EPA in understanding the effects of the substances to manage/minimize potential risk and exposure. Results will also help with establishing a correlation between the chemical/physical properties and health and environmental effects needed to protect the environment and the health of workers handling the substance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA is developing a proposal to establish reporting requirements for certain nanoscale materials. This rule would propose that persons who manufacture these nanoscale materials notify EPA of certain information including production volume, methods of manufacture and processing, exposure and release information, and available health and safety data. The proposed reporting of these activities will provide EPA with an opportunity to evaluate the information and consider appropriate action under TSCA to reduce any risk to human health or the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPA is proposing reporting requirements under section 8(a) of TSCA for persons who are manufacturing, importing, or processing existing nanoscale materials in commerce to collect data on these activities. The data will help EPA to take any measures to ensure that nanoscale materials are manufactured and used in a manner that protects against unreasonable risks to human health and the environment.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 8(a) of TSCA authorizes the Administrator to promulgate rules, which require each person (other than a small manufacturer, importer, or processor) who manufactures, imports, processes, or proposes to manufacture, import, or process a chemical substance, to maintain such records and submit such reports as the Administrator may reasonably require.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[EPA developed a voluntary Nanoscale Materials Stewardship Program (NMSP) to complement and support its regulatory activities on nanoscale materials. EPA initiated the NMSP to quickly learn about commercially available nanoscale materials by soliciting existing data and information on a voluntary basis from manufacturers, importers, processors, and users of nanoscale materials. In addition, the program was designed to identify and encourage use of risk management practices in developing and commercializing nanoscale materials. In its NMSP interim report, EPA identified data gaps for existing nanoscale material production, uses, and exposures, based on the information EPA received prior to January 2009. For example, EPA estimated that companies provided information on only about 10 percent of the nanomaterials that may be commercially available. EPA is proposing reporting requirements under section 8(a) of TSCA for persons who are manufacturing, importing, or processing nanoscale materials in commerce to address some of the data gaps identified in the NMSP interim report. EPA has not identified any other activities, including regulatory activities under TSCA that would address data gaps for existing nanoscale materials.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA has evaluated the potential costs of 8(a) reporting requirements for potential manufacturers, importers, and processors that would be subject to the proposed rule. If an entity were to submit a notice to the Agency, the annual burden is estimated to average 157 hours per response. This information would facilitate EPAs evaluation of the materials and consideration of appropriate action under TSCA to reduce any unreasonable risk to human health or the environment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There is a growing body of scientific evidence showing the differences that exist between nanoscale material(s) and their non-nanoscale counterpart(s). Nanoscale materials may have different or enhanced properties--for example, electrical, chemical, magnetic, mechanical, thermal, or optical properties--or features, such as improved hardness or strength, that are highly desirable for applications in commercial, medical, military, and environmental sectors. These properties are a direct consequence of small size, which results in a larger surface area per unit of volume and/or quantum effects that occur at the nanometer scale (i.e., 1 x 10-9 meters). Small size itself can also be a desirable property of nanoscale materials that is exploited for miniaturization of applications/processes and/or stabilization or delivery of payloads to diverse environments or incorporation into diverse products.

The properties that can make nanoscale materials desirable for commercial applications also raise questions whether the small size of nanoscale materials or the unique or enhanced properties of nanoscale materials may, under specific conditions, pose new or increased hazards to humans and the environment. Government, academic, and private sector scientists in multiple countries are performing research into the environmental and human health effects of diverse nanoscale materials, resulting in a substantial and rapidly growing body of scientific evidence. These research findings point to the possibility for nanoscale materials to affect human health and the environment adversely. Research also indicates that not all materials in the nanoscale size range behave differently from larger sized materials of the same substance.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for di-n-pentyl phthalate (DnPP). This proposed rule would require manufacturers and processors of DnPP to notify EPA at least 90 days before manufacturing, importing, or processing DnPP for a significant new use. The required notice would provide EPA the opportunity to evaluate the significant new use, and if necessary, prohibit such activity to prevent unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment. DnPP was identified for potential action in EPA's Existing Chemical Action Plan for Phthalates, released in December 2009. The most recent Inventory Update Reporting data contain no reports of this phthalate being produced or imported into the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 14 glymes. This action would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process these chemical substances for the designated significant new uses to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing such manufacture, import, or processing. The required notification would provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it occurs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Exemptions From Reporting Requirements for Microorganisms; Revisions of Recipient Organisms Eligible for Tier I and Tier II Exemptions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1997, EPA promulgated a final rule under section 5 of Toxics Substances and Control Act (TSCA) to establish the notification procedures for review of certain new microorganisms before they are introduced into commerce. New microorganisms are those formed by deliberate combinations of genetic material from organisms classified in different taxonomic genera. This review process is designed to prevent unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment without imposing unnecessary regulatory burdens on the biotechnology industry. The rule also established TSCA section 5(h)(4) exemptions from full reporting when 10 specific microorganisms are used as the recipient microorganisms for the introduced genetic material and placed requirements on these recipient microorganism, the introduced genetic material, and the physical containment (40 CFR 725, subpart G). The rule also established a mechanism (40 CFR 725.67) for the public to petition the Agency to propose additional recipient microorganisms for such exemptions. These regulations describe the appropriate supporting information that must be submitted with the petition to provide EPA with a starting point for determining whether the recipient should be listed as a candidate for the tiered exemption. EPA has received petitions to add two additional microorganisms to the eligible recipient microorganisms listed in 40 CFR 725.420 (Trichoderma reesei and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens). EPA is evaluating the information provided in these petitions. If, as result of this evaluation, EPA makes a preliminary determination that one or both of the two microorganisms will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, then EPA will propose a rule to grant the exemption petition for that microorganism(s).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA Reporting Requirements; Minor Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing a proposal to make minor changes to three existing reporting requirements under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to reduce reporting burdens and to clarify reporting to provide for quicker review of health and environmental data for more effective protection of public health and the environment. Specifically, the changes involve 40 CFR 790.5, entitled "Submission of Information"; 40 CFR 792.185, entitled "Reporting of Study Results"; and 40 CFR 712.28, entitled "Forms and Instructions." The changes under consideration include the elimination of the requirement for 6 copies to be submitted; the addition of a requirement for including "Robust Summaries" of test results with the submission of test data; and the use of the Inventory Update Rule Form to format the submission of preliminary assessment information in response to chemical information rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Compliance Date for Pesticide Container/Containment Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 15, 2010, EPA granted a 4-month extension of the compliance date in 40 CFR 156.159 by which the pesticide labels must be updated with the container management statements required by the pesticide container and containment regulations originally published in 2006 and amended in 2008. At the same time, EPA proposed and sought public comment on a 1-year extension. The Agency believes that an extension of the compliance date is necessary and appropriate. While there has been significant progress in the number of pesticide labels that have been updated with the container management statements required by the container-containment regulations, EPA has recently become aware that there are still a substantial number of products whose labels must be submitted to EPA, reviewed and approved by EPA, and reviewed and approved by the States. This amendment does not otherwise involve any other changes to the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Data Requirements for Antimicrobials</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is updating and revising its pesticide data requirements for antimicrobial pesticide products. The existing antimicrobial data requirements are in 40 CFR part 161. 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 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. Once this regulatory change takes effect, data requirements for antimicrobial pesticides will be set forth in subpart W of 40 CFR part 158, and part 161 will be removed.]]></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. The current crop groupings allow EPA to establish pesticide tolerances for multiple related crops based upon data for a representative set of crops. 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 January 2010, EPA proposed the next revision to the crop grouping regulations, involving a proposal to create a new crop group and amend three other crop groups.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs); Exemption for Those Derived Through Genetic Engineering From Sexually Compatible Plants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA 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 plant-incorporated protectants (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>TSCA Inventory Update Reporting Modifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) rule enables EPA to procure basic information on chemicals manufactured or processed for commercial purposes, 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 changes in the IUR Modifications rule are designed: (1) to tailor the information collected to more closely match the Agencys overall information needs; (2) to obtain new and updated information relating to potential exposures to a subset of chemical substances listed on the Toxics Substances and Control Act (TSCA) Inventory; and (3) to improve the utility of the information reported. EPA believes that changing the information collected through the IUR, the method and frequency of collecting the information, and confidential business information (CBI) requirements will accomplish these goals. The major changes in the IUR Modifications Rule include: eliminating the upper threshold to collect processing and use data for all reported chemicals, collecting multi-year production volume information, returning the frequency of reporting to every 4 years from every 5, triggering reporting based on the annual production volume since the last IUR, and requiring electronic reporting. Other changes include modifications to specific data elements such as the production volume and types of industrial and commercial/consumer uses; requiring an indication of consumer or commercial use and, if commercial, the number of workers; changes to requirements for making CBI claims; migrating the regulatory text from 40 CFR 710 to 711; and eliminating obsolete regulatory text.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead; Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 6, 2010, EPA proposed several revisions to the 2008 Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule that established accreditation, training, certification, and recordkeeping requirements, as well as work practice standards for persons performing renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. Current requirements include training renovators, other renovation workers, and dust sampling technicians; for certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians, and renovation firms; for accrediting providers of renovation and dust sampling technician training; for renovation work practices; and for recordkeeping. EPA is particularly concerned about dust lead hazards generated by renovations because of the well documented toxicity of lead, especially to younger children. This proposal includes additional requirements designed to ensure that lead-based paint hazards generated by renovation work are adequately cleaned after renovation work is finished and before the work areas are re-occupied. Specifically, EPA proposed to require dust wipe testing after many renovations covered by the RRP rule. For a subset of jobs involving demolition or removal of plaster through destructive means or the disturbance of paint using machines designed to remove paint through high-speed operation, such as power sanders or abrasive blasters, this proposal would also require the renovation firm to demonstrate, through dust wipe testing, that dust-lead levels remaining in the work area are below regulatory levels.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPA is particularly concerned about dust lead hazards generated by renovations because children, especially younger children, are at risk for high exposures of lead-based paint dust via hand-to-mouth exposure. This rulemaking revision is being considered in response to a settlement agreement.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 402(c)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to regulate renovation or remodeling activities that create lead-based paint hazards in target housing, which is defined by statute to cover most pre-1978 housing, public buildings built before 1978, and commercial buildings. The work practice requirements for dust wipe testing and clearance, training, certification and accreditation requirements, and State, territorial, and tribal authorization provisions are being promulgated under the authority of TSCA sections 402(c)(3), 404, and 407 (15 U.S.C. 2682(c)(3), 2684, and 2687).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In addition to the proposed rule option, the Economic Analysis for the proposed rule analyzes several alternative options, including options with lower and higher thresholds (in terms of the amount of lead-based paint disturbed) for renovations that require dust wipe testing or clearance. See also the discussion in the preamble to the proposed rule at page 25058 et seq.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Benefits. The proposed rule is estimated to generate benefits by providing greater assurance that dust-lead hazards created by renovations are adequately cleaned up, primarily by requiring renovation firms to provide building owners and occupants with information on dust lead levels remaining in the work area after many renovation projects, but also by requiring renovation firms to demonstrate that they have achieved regulatory clearance levels after some of the dustiest renovations. These changes will protect individuals residing in target housing or attending a child-occupied facility where these renovation events are performed. It will also protect individuals who move into target housing after such a renovation is performed, or who visit a friend, relative, or caregivers house where such a renovation is performed. EPA has estimated the number of individuals residing in target housing units or attending COFs where renovation events are performed. The proposed rule will benefit 809,000 children under the age of 6 and 7,547,000 individuals age 6 and older (including 96,000 pregnant women) per year by minimizing their exposure to lead dust generated by renovations. The low threshold option would protect 882,000 children under the age of 6 and 8,193,000 individuals age 6 and older, including 105,000 pregnant women. The high threshold option protects 706,000 children and 6,590,000 individuals age 6 and older, including 83,000 pregnant women. The remaining three alternative options (dust wipe testing only, clearance only, and third party dust wipe testing) would affect the same number of individuals as the proposed rule, although the amount of protection provided to some of those individuals may differ from the proposed rule.

Costs. Total annualized costs for the proposed rule are $272 million per year using a 3 percent discount rate and $293 million per year using a 7 percent discount rate. Under the low threshold option, costs are $312 million per year with a 3 percent discount rate and $336 million per year with a 7 percent rate. Under the high threshold option, costs are $224 million per year with a 3 percent discount rate and $242 million per year with a 7 percent discount rate. The option that only requires dust wipe testing costs $268 million per year with a 3 percent discount rate and $288 million per year with a 7 percent discount rate. The option requiring clearance for all renovations covered by the proposed rule costs $367 million with a 3 percent discount rate and $394 million with a 7 percent discount rate. The option requiring the use of a third-party for dust wipe sampling costs $431 million per year with a 3 percent discount rate and $459 million per year with a 7 percent discount rate.  These cost estimates are based on the assumption that improved lead test kits would be available.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Lead is known for its "broad array of deleterious effects on multiple organ systems via widely diverse mechanisms of action." (EPA Air Quality Criteria for Lead, October 2006). This array of health effects includes heme biosynthesis and related functions; neurological development and function; reproduction and physical development; kidney function; cardiovascular function; and immune function. There is also some evidence of lead carcinogenicity, primarily from animal studies, together with limited human evidence of suggestive associations. Of particular interest to EPA during the RRP rulemaking was the delineation of lowest observed effect levels for those lead-induced effects that are most clearly associated with blood lead levels of less than 10 micrograms per deciliter in children and adults. See also the discussion in the preamble to the proposed rule at page 25039 et seq.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008 amended section 12 of the Toxics Substances and Control Act (TSCA) to prohibit the export of elemental mercury from the United States effective January 1, 2013. The new provision in TSCA allows any person residing in the U.S. to petition the Administrator for an exemption to the export ban. If the Administrator makes certain findings listed in the Act, the Administrator may grant exemptions to the ban through notice and comment rulemaking. Through a posting on the Web site, EPA will provide the basic instructions and information related to these exemptions. Exemption requests themselves will be acted on through separate rulemakings that will be covered by a separate entry in the Regulatory Agenda, as appropriate.]]></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>

        <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.

        <RULE_TITLE>High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals; Testing of Certain Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has or is developing several 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 proposed test rule that published in 2008 for 19 chemicals is expected to be finalized in 2010. A third proposed test rule that published in early 2010 for 29 chemicals is expected to be finalized in 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA will propose to amend efficacy data requirements that specifically address the registration data needs of invertebrate pesticide product registrations as mandated by Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This rulemaking will provide clarity, consistency, and transparency. This proposal will seek to amend the current efficacy data requirements 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; and the maintenance of a pesticide registration, e.g., as in the registration review program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Tolerance Processing Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 408(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) was amended to require EPA to charge tolerance fees that, in the aggregate, will cover all costs associated with processing tolerance actions, including filing a tolerance petition, and establishing, modifying, leaving in effect, or revoking a tolerance or tolerance exemption. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to two petitions under the Administrative Procedures Act seeking disclosure of selected inert ingredients on pesticide labels (based on the hazard of that ingredient), EPA is contemplating rulemaking to increase public availability of both potentially hazardous inert ingredients and of inert ingredient identities in general. This action would assist consumers and users of pesticides in making informed decisions and reduce the presence of potentially hazardous ingredients in pesticides. EPA is considering various approaches, including disclosure based on hazard and broader disclosure of inert ingredient identities.]]></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). The proposed criteria were intended to clearly identify and exempt only those residues for which a long history of safe exposure and consumption can support exemption. EPA believes there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to such residues, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information. 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, EPA issued a reproposal in 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Certification of Pesticide Applicators</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing change the federal regulations under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) that guide 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[EPA is developing a proposal under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 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>

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>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>Long-Chain Perfluorinated Chemicals (LCPFCs); Regulation(s) Under TSCA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) provides authority for EPA to ban or restrict the manufacture (including import), processing, and use of these chemicals. EPA is considering initiating TSCA section 6 rulemaking for managing long-chain perfluorinated chemicals (LCPFCs). LCPFCs includes two sub-categories: perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFAS) and perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFAC). The PFAS sub-category includes perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), other higher homologues, and their salts and precursors. The PFAC sub-category includes perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, sometimes called C8), other higher homologues, and their salts and precursors. Some of those potential PFAC precursors include chemicals known commercially as fluorotelomers. PFOA is a synthetic (man-made) chemical that does not occur naturally in the environment. Companies use PFOA to make fluoropolymers, substances with special properties that have thousands of important manufacturing and industrial applications. Fluoropolymers impart valuable properties, including fire resistance and oil, stain, grease, and water repellency. They are used to provide non-stick surfaces on cookware and waterproof, breathable membranes for clothing, and are used in many industry segments, including the aerospace, automotive, building/construction, chemical processing, electronics, semiconductors, and textile industries. PFOA can also be produced by the breakdown of some fluorinated telomers, substances that are used in surface treatment products to impart soil, stain, grease, and water resistance. Some telomers are also used as high performance surfactants in products that must flow evenly, such as paints, coatings, and cleaning products, fire-fighting foams for use on liquid fuel fires, or the engineering coatings used in semiconductor manufacture. LCPFCs are found world-wide in the environment, wildlife, and humans. They are bioaccumulative in wildlife and humans, and are persistent in the environment. To date, significant adverse effects have not been found in the general human population; however, significant adverse effects have been identified in laboratory animals and wildlife. Given the long half-life of these chemicals in humans (years), it can reasonably be anticipated that continued exposure could increase body burdens to levels that would result in adverse outcomes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is initiating action under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to ban or restrict the manufacture, import, processing or distribution in commerce, export, and use of Short Chained Chlorinated Paraffins (SCCPs). EPA is concerned with SCCPs because they are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations. They can remain in the environment for a significant amount of time and can bioaccumulate in animal tissues, increasing the probability and duration of exposure. Even relatively small releases of these chemicals from individual facilities that manufacture import, process or use these chemicals or releases from waste management facilities have the potential to accumulate over time to higher levels and cause significant adverse impacts on the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule (SNUR); Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RCFs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has instituted a program to monitor the commercial development of existing chemicals of concern and/or to gather information to support risk assessments on such chemicals including Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RCFs). RCFs are amorphous synthetic fibers that part of larger group called synthetic vitreous fibers (SVFs). RCFs are made by either "spinning" or "blowing" and are used primarily for high temperature industrial insulation purposes (e.g., furnaces, heaters, kilns) in addition to automotive applications, aerospace uses, and in certain other industrial applications. As chemicals of potential concern are identified, EPA will initiate rulemakings under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) when appropriate, to require reporting by the manufacturers, importers and/or processors of these chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead Fishing Sinkers; Manufacturing, Processing, and Distribution in Commerce</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 re-evaluate the 1994 proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 amended the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to require EPA to promulgate regulations governing lead-based paint (LBP) activities to ensure that individuals engaged in such activities are properly trained, that LBP training programs are accredited, and that contractors engaged in such activities are certified. In addition, EPA must promulgate a Model State program which may be adopted by any State which seeks to administer and enforce a State Program. EPA promulgated regulations for LBP activities in target housing and child occupied facilities as well as training and certification of training programs for LBP activities in 1996 (see 40 CFR 745). Regulations for LBP activities in public and commercial buildings and bridges and other structures are still under development.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 402(c)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to regulate renovation or remodeling activities in target housing (most pre-1978 housing), pre-1978 public buildings, and commercial buildings that create lead-based paint hazards. On April 22, 2008, EPA issued a final rule to address lead-based paint hazards created by these activities in target housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 (child-occupied facilities are a subset of public and commercial buildings or facilities where children under age 6 spend a great deal of time). The 2008 rule established requirements for training renovators, other renovation workers, and dust sampling technicians; for certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians, and renovation firms; for accrediting providers of renovation and dust sampling technician training; for renovation work practices; and for recordkeeping. This new rulemaking will address renovation or remodeling activities in the remaining buildings described in TSCA section 402(c)(3): public buildings built before 1978 and commercial buildings that are not child-occupied facilities. On May 6, 2010, EPA announced the commencement of proceedings to propose lead-safe work practices and other requirements for renovations on the exteriors of public and commercial buildings and to determine whether lead-based paint hazards are created by interior renovation, repair, and painting projects in public and commercial buildings. For those renovations in the interiors of public and commercial buildings that create lead-based paint hazards, EPA will propose regulations to address these hazards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead Wheel Weights; Regulatory Investigation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2009, EPA initiated a proceeding under the Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA) to investigate potential lead hazards associated with the manufacture, processing, and distribution in commerce of lead wheel balancing weights ("wheel weights"). Lead is highly toxic, especially to young children. According to a U.S. Geological Survey study in 2003, 65,000 tons of lead wheel weights were in use in the United States and approximately 2,000 tons of these weights were lost from vehicles into the environment. Voluntary actions on the part of U.S. auto manufactures and an European Union ban on their use has reduced the number of lead wheel weights, but they continue to be predominant product in the tire replacement market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead; Residential Lead Dust Hazard Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 10, 2009, EPA was petitioned under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) to lower the residential lead dust hazard standards. Pursuant to section 403 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA promulgate regulations on January 5, 2001 (66 FR 1206) to establish standards for lead-based paint hazards in most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. Under these standards, lead is considered a hazard when equal to or exceeding 40 micrograms of lead in dust per square foot on floors, 250 micrograms of lead in dust per square foot on interior window sills, and 400 parts per million (ppm) of lead in bare soil in children's play areas or 1200 ppm average for bare soil in the rest of the yard. These standards provide a regulatory threshold and it is important to note that given the potential dangers related to lead poisoning, any exposure to deteriorated lead-based paint presents a hazard. In addition to this citizen's petition, the Clean Air Science Advisory Committee (CASAC) has advised EPA that based on recent epidemiological studies the current hazard standards are insufficiently protective. Therefore, based on the APA petition and CASAC recommendation, EPA will be analyzing current science to determine if new standards are required under TSCA section 403.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA's regulations governing the use of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in electrical equipment and other applications were first issued in the late 1970s and have not been updated since 1998. EPA is initiating rulemaking to reexamine these ongoing PCB uses with an eye to ending or phasing out uses that can no longer be justified under section 6(e) of the Toxics Substances and Control Act (TSCA), which requires that EPA determine certain authorized uses will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Formaldehyde Emissions From Pressed Wood Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2008, EPA initiated a proceeding under Toxics Substance and Control Act (TSCA) to investigate risks posed by formaldehyde emitted from pressed wood products. An advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) 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 formaldehyde emission limits. Subsequently, EPA developed an industry survey to obtain more information on these ANPRM topics and continued to assess the hazards of and exposures to formaldehyde emissions from pressed wood products. On July 7, 2010, the Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act was enacted. This law amends TSCA to establish specific formaldehyde emission limits for hardwood plywood, particleboard, and medium-density fiberboard, which limits are identical to the California emission limits for these products. The law further requires EPA to promulgate implementing regulations by January 1, 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule for Chloranil</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Chloranil is used as a basic feedstock for certain dyes and pigments and in the production of rubber tires. Chloranil was one of the chemicals identified for testing in the Dioxin/Furan (D/F) test rule. Early testing results revealed that dioxin levels in Chloranil could vary by more than two orders of magnitude depending on the chemical manufacturing process involved. It appeared that the low dioxin manufacturing process could produce Chloranil with dioxin contamination levels below 20 ppb TEQ. Based on this information, EPA entered into a formal agreement with Chloranil importers (there was no domestic production of high dioxin Chloranil) to only import Chloranil made through the low dioxin process. As a follow up to this agreement, a Chloranil Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) was proposed in 1993. Under the provisions of the draft SNUR any Chloranil imported or domestically produced with dioxin contamination levels greater than 20 ppb TEQ would be considered a new use and require reporting under section 5(a)(1)(A) of the Toxic Substances Control Act. In the SNUR proposal EPA stated that it would not promulgate a final rule until it had all of the D/F test rule data. EPA accepted the final test rule data in June of 2001. The test rule requirements continue to apply to any new manufacturer or importer of Chloranil. No new importer or manufacturer has identified themselves, although EPA has received inquiries from time to time about the applicability of the test rule to new imports. EPA 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, the Agency reopened the comment period in 2007. EPA is currently formulating the final rule.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Testing of Existing Chemicals (Overview Entry for Future Needs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 4 of Toxics Substances and Control Act (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). ECAs are usually less resource intensive than formal TSCA rule-making. In developing ECAs, 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. The Agency may also consider test rules or ECAs 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 only intended to alert the public that within the next 6 months the Agency may consider other chemicals for test rules, or ECAs that have not yet been identified. A separate activity specific entry will be included in the regulatory agenda once the Agency decides to develop a test rule or ECA.]]></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 Toxics Substances and Control Act (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 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (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 Test Rule for some or all of the subject chemicals and for which endpoints they should be tested.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Testing Agreement for Aryl Phosphates (ITC List 2)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA published a proposed test rule under section 4 of the Toxics Substances and Control Act (TSCA) 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 Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (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 is evaluating the need for any additional testing of the subject aryl phosphate base stocks under an ECA or rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Rule; Nonylphenol (NP) and its Ethoxylates (NPE)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 commenced the proceeding by issuing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on June 15, 2009 that solicits public comment on several testing issues prior to the issuance of any proposed rule. The public comment period for the ANPRM ended on September 15, 2009 and EPA is now evaluating the need to propose a TSCA section 4 Test Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead; Amendment to the Opt-Out and Recordkeeping Provisions in the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of a lawsuit settlement, EPA agreed to make several revisions to the 2008 Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule that established accreditation, training, certification, and recordkeeping requirements as well as work practice standards on persons performing renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. In October of 2009, EPA proposed amendments to the opt-out provision that currently exempts a renovator from the training and work practice requirements of the rule when he or she obtains a certification from the owner of a residence he or she occupies that no child under age 6 or pregnant women resides in the home and the home is not a child-occupied facility. EPA also proposed revisions that involve renovation firms providing the owner with a copy of the records they are currently required to maintain to demonstrate compliance with the training and work practice requirements of the RRP rule and, if different, providing the information to the occupant of the building being renovated or the operator of the child-occupied facility. In addition to the proposed amendments, EPA considered various minor amendments to the regulations concerning training provider accreditations, renovator certifications and State and Tribal program requirements. In May, 2010, EPA published a final rule eliminating the opt-out provision and finalizing the other provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mercury; 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 used 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[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 Food and Drug Administration (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>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>Test Rule; Certain Chemicals on the ATSDR Priority List of Hazardous Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 20, 2006, (71 FR 61926), EPA proposed a Test Rule for Certain Chemicals on the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)/EPA Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Priority List of Hazardous Substances for the consideration of testing for four chemicals (hydrogen and sodium cyanide, chloroethane, and methylene chloride). The chemicals are listed on the ATSDR/EPA priority list of hazardous substances which is compiled under the CERCLA. The chemicals are also listed as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). In the proposal for this test rule, EPA explained that the principal reason EPA proposed to use its Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 4 authority to obtain data was to support ATSDRs Substance-Specific Applied Research Program, a program for collecting data and other information needed for developing health assessments pursuant to CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. section 9601 et seq. ATSDR had referred the chemicals subject to the proposed rule to EPA under the authority of section 104(i) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. section 96040). Since then, ATSDR informed EPA that it no longer needed EPA to finalize this rule. Therefore, EPA plans to withdraw the proposal. This withdrawal, however does not preclude the Agency from initiating the same or similar rulemaking at a future date. EPA is currently developing efforts to strengthen the Agencys chemical management program under TSCA by ramping up efforts to assess, prioritize and take action on existing chemicals. EPA may address potential concerns with these chemicals as part of this enhanced effort.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Testing of Certain Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 1996 proposed Test Rule for Hazardous Air Pollutants proposed to require manufacturers and processors of 21 hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) to test their chemicals for certain health effects. EPA also solicited proposals for Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs) regarding the performance of pharmacokinetics studies which would permit extrapolation from oral data to predict risk from inhalation exposure. The data would have primarily been used to implement several provisions of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), including determining residual risk, estimating risks associated with accidental releases of chemicals, and determining whether or not substances should be removed from the CAA section 112(b)(1). EPAs Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS), along with EPAs Office of Research and Development (ORD), informed EPA that it would not be prudent to expend resources to finalize this rule. EPA is also withdrawing this proposed action because the original proposal was issued in 1996 and the Agency has determined that the record does not address recent scientific information developed since the original proposal. This withdrawal, however, does not preclude the Agency from initiating the same or similar rulemaking at a future date. EPA is currently developing efforts to strengthen the agencys chemical management program under Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA) by ramping up efforts to assess, prioritize, and take action on existing chemicals. As part of this enhanced effort EPA will consider how best to address potential concerns with these chemicals, which would include using scientific information and data developed since the rule was proposed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Procedural Rules for Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 16, 2010, EPA published a final rule amending the procedures for developing Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs) to generate test data under the Toxic Substances Control ACT (TSCA).  the main features of the ECA process amended by the final rule include when and how to initiate negotiations and inserting a fire deadline at which negotiations will terminate.  The final rule also deleted, modified, or consolidated several sections of the 40 CFR part 790 to place the ECA provision in one section and the Interagency Testing Committee (ITC) provisions in a separate section, to make it clearer that there is one ECA negotiation procedure applicable to all circumstances when an ECA would be appropriate.  The final rule also made conforming changes in other sections that reference the ECA procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>U.S. Agency for International Development Implementation of OMB Guidance on Drug-Free Workplace Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OMB requires each agency to replace the common rule on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance that the agency previously issued in 22 CFR part 210 with a brief regulation in 2 CFR adopting the Government wide policies and procedures. This regulatory action implements OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate into one title of the CFR all federal regulations on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. These changes constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change to USAID's policy or procedures for a drug-free workplace.

A Federal solution is required because OMB is imposing this requirement on all Federal agencies. USAID has no alternative to removing 22 CFR part 210.  No potential costs are foreseen for this action.  One advantage of this approach is that it reduces the total volume of drug-free workplace regulations.  A second advantage is that it collocates OMB's guidance and all of the agencies' implementing regulations in 2 CFR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires each agency to replace their individual common rule on (non-procurement) debarment and suspension requirements that was previously issued in 22 CFR part 208 with a brief regulation in 2 CFR adopting the Governmentwide policies and procedures. This regulatory action implements OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate into one title of the CFR all federal regulations on non-procurement debarment and suspension requirements.  These changes constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change to USAID's policy or procedures for non-procurement debarment and suspension and eliminates more than 1500 pages of needlessly duplicative regulations from the CFR.  The brief adopting parts will enable a reader to review an agencys variations from the Governmentwide guidance and thus collocate OMB's guidance as well as the agencies' implementing regulations in 2 CFR.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[USAID is amending its regulation on source, origin and nationality for commodities and services financed by USAID: It is removing Laos and Iraq from the list of foreign policy restricted countries.  Laos and Iraq were removed because the characterization of these countries is no longer justified in light of the normalization of relations that has taken place between the United States and these countries and the their respective contributions toward the achievement of U.S. foreign policy objectives.  Laotian and Iraqi individuals, privately owned commercial firms, and nonprofit organizations are now eligible for the USAID procurements subject to the Geographic (Geo) Codes 899*, 935, and 941* (identified in sec. 228.03 below) effective as of the dates specified below.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 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 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 Commission has received a petition from a foreign board of trade for a rulemaking to expedite the process for review of foreign stock index futures contracts to determine whether they meet the requirements for offer and sale to United States persons (cash-settled, not readily susceptible to manipulation, and based on a non-narrow-based stock index). Additional issues related to the petition include whether to move from a no-action process to rules or a certification process and, if the latter, whether such certifications should be issued at the staff or Commission level.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DCM Core Principle Rulemaking, Interpretation and Guidance </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) proposes to issue rules to implement section 735 of the Dodd-Frank Act.  In relevant part, section 735 of the Dodd-Frank Act amends Section 5 of the Commodity Exchange Act (Act) pertaining to the designation and operation of contract markets (DCMs).  Among other changes, section 735 of the Dodd-Frank Act : (i) Eliminates the eight pre-existing Designation Criteria contained in former section 5(b) of the Act and incorporates these criteria into the various DCM core principles in section 5(d); and (ii) adds five additional DCM core principles.  In addition to revising the DCM core principles, section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires that all swaps subject to clearing must be executed on either a DCM or a Swap Execution Facility. This Rulemaking implements the 23 core principles that boards of trade must now comply with as a condition of obtaining and maintaining designation as a contract market, and expands the DCM regulatory framework to include the listing, trading and execution of swaps.  This rulemaking proposes amendments to part 38 of the Commissions regulations to implement the amendments to the Act relevant to designated contract markets.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) contains a general requirement that swaps that are subject to a clearing mandate must be submitted for clearing to a registered derivatives clearing organization.  The Dodd-Frank Act also provides that users of swaps that are not financial entities (referred to as end users) and that use swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk may claim an exception from the general clearing requirement if the end user notifies the CFTC of how the end user generally meets its financial obligations associated with entering into swaps that are not cleared.  The CFTC will propose a rule stating the manner in which end users are to submit such notification, and defining the meaning of the term commercial risk in this context.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has been mandated by Congress (in the Dodd-Frank Act) to impose position limits on futures and swaps relating to exempt and agricultural commodities.  A separate rulemaking will establish swap data repositories to allow proper surveillance of the interconnected commodity derivatives markets and enforce these position limits.  In the interim, the Commission will conduct the necessary surveillance by implementing, through this rulemaking, a large trader reporting system for additional derivatives, including covered swaps.  Given the new and additional reporting requirements that may be imposed on various market participants, the Commission believes that it is appropriate to solicit and consider the publics comments (in response to the notice of proposed rulemaking) in advance of issuing a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Swap Execution Facilities Registration Requirements and Core Principle Rulemaking, Interpretation and Guidance </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) proposes to issue rules to implement section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act.  In relevant part, section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act amends the provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) to create a new registered entity  swap execution facilities (each a SEF or collectively SEFs), providing market participants with the ability to execute or trade swaps.  Among other changes, section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act introduces fifteen core principles relating to the registration and operation of SEFs.  Additionally, section 723(a)(8) of the Dodd-Frank Act requires that all swaps subject to clearing must be executed on either a Designated Contract Market or a SEF. This rulemaking implements the process for becoming a SEF as well as the fifteen core principles and other requirements that each applicant must comply with as a condition of obtaining and maintaining its registration as a SEF.  This rulemaking proposes to replace current part 37 of the Commissions regulations, at present addressing rules for DTEFs, with rules to implement the amendments to the CEA relevant to SEFs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Since the Commission originally promulgated regulation 1.38, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (CFMA), was signed into law. The CFMA, among other things, specifically expanded the allowable transactions that could be executed off the centralized market. In light of its further experience with administering the CFMA, the Commission is amending regulation 1.38, which applies to trading off the centralized market, and providing additional guidance on block trading rules that are consistent with Core Principle 9.

        <RULE_TITLE>Concept Release on the Appropriate Regulatory Treatment of Event Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.

        <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><![CDATA[The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the Commission) proposes amending its regulations (17 CFR chapter 1, hereinafter, the Regulations) to create a sixth and separate account class (as such term is defined in Regulation 190.01(a) (17 CFR 190.01(a)), applicable only to the bankruptcy of a commodity broker that is a futures commission merchant (FCM), for positions in cleared over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives (and money, securities, and/or other property margining, guaranteeing, and securing such positions).  In general, the concept of "account class" governs the manner in which the trustee calculates the net equity (i.e., claims against the estate) and the allowed net equity (i.e., pro rata share of the estate) for each customer of a commodity broker in bankruptcy.  The Commission further proposes amending the Regulations to codify the appropriate allocation, in a bankruptcy of any commodity broker, of positions in commodity contracts of one account class (and the money, securities, and/or other property margining, guaranteeing, or securing such positions) that are commingled with positions in commodity contracts of the futures account class (and the money, securities, and/or other property margining, guaranteeing, or securing such positions), pursuant to an order issued by the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Portable Bed Rails</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 alows 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.  In 2001, staff sent a briefing package to the Commission recommending the Commission publish a NPRM for the development of a safety standard.  In October 2001, the Commission voted to direct the staff to prepare a NPRM.  During this same time, ASTM balloted a revision to the voluntary standard that was consistent with the CPSC staff's draft proposed standard and the NPRM was put on hold.  Subsequently staff evaluated the adequacy of, and conformance to, the revised standard.  

Section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the Commission to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products.  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 propose a consumer product safety standard for bed rails as part of this series of standards for durable infant and toddler products.  The proposed standard is expected to be based on ASTM F 2085 Standard Consumer Product Safety Specification for Bed Rails, with possible changes or additions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Association of State Fire Marshals requested that the Commission issue mandatory safety standards for candles and candle accessories such as candleholders.  The request was docketed as a petition for rulemaking on March 10, 2004.  A notice requesting comment on the petition was published in the Federal Register on April 6, 2004.  The comment period closed on June 7, 2004.  On July 10, 2006, CPSC staff sent a briefing package to the Commission for consideration and recommended that the Commission defer action on the petition.  On July 19, 2006, the Commission voted 3-0 to defer the petition and directed the staff to provide updates on the progress of voluntary standards activities.  Staff provided a status report to the Commissioners on June 6, 2007. Commission staff will evaluate the adequacy of and conformance to the relevant voluntary standards and prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certificates of Compliance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 3 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)  amended section 14(a)(1) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) to require manufacturers and private labelers of certain products to issue certificates declaring that their products being imported or distributed in commerce have been tested and are in compliance with all safety rules under the CPSA or similar rules, bans, standards, or regulations under any other Act enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). 

Pursuant to amendments made to section 14(a)(4) of the CPSA, the Commission may designate who must issue the certificate if there is more than one manufacturer or more than one private labeler.  The rule may exempt all other manufacturers of such product or all other private labelers of the product (as the case may be) from the requirement under section 14(a)(1), (2), or (3) of the CPSA to issue a certificate with respect to such product. 

On November 18, 2008, the Commission published a Final Rule in the Federal Register (73 FR 68328) limiting the parties who must issue certificates of testing to the importer and, in the case of domestically produced products, the U.S. manufacturer.  The rule, now codified at 16 CFR part 1110, permits the use of electronic certificates and specifies the requirements that electronic certificates must meet.  The rule establishes obligations on importers, describing the timing of availability of certificates.  The rule defines how certificates could be made available to meet a statutory requirement that they accompany each product or product shipment and be furnished to each distributor or retailer of the product.  The rule did not place obligations on private labelers.  The Commission is considering proposing an amendment to the regulations to clarify which parties must issue a certificate and to make the rule consistent with laws administered by Customs and Border Protection (Customs).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102 of the Consumer Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires third party testing for certain childrens products.  Bicycles would be tested in accordance with 16 CFR part 1512.  On April 1, 2010, the Bicycle Product Suppliers Association (BPSA) petitioned the Commission for an extension of the stay of enforcement as it relates to 16 CFR part 1512, the CPSC safety regulations for bicycles. The BPSA contended that laboratory capacity was still inadequate.  It also asserted that 16 CFR part 1512 is out of date in many respects, and urged the Commission to revise the regulation.  In a letter dated June 4, 2010, the BPSA outlined specific requirements in 16 CFR part 1512 that are problematic for certification.  The CPSC staff is currently reviewing 16 CFR part 1512 in consideration of potential recommendations for revising the regulation to address requirements that may conflict with testing and certification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 14(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), as added by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, requires the Commission to publish requirements for third party conformity assessment bodies to assess conformity with a childrens product safety rule, and to maintain on its website an up-to-date list of Commission accepted third party conformity assessment bodies.  Section 14(e) of the CPSA provides that the Commission may withdraw or suspend its acceptance of a third party conformity assessment body.  The Commission will be considering a rule that would codify the requirements and procedures that a third party conformance body must meet for becoming a Commission accepted third party conformity assessment body, would address how a third party conformity assessment body may voluntarily discontinue participation in the Commissions childrens product assessment program, and would describe the grounds and procedures for withdrawal or suspension of Commission acceptance of a third party conformity assessment body.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), mandates that third party testing be conducted for certain childrens products.  Section 3(a)(2) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) defines a children's product as "a consumer product designed or intended primarliy for children 12 years of age or younger."  Section 102 of the CPSIA also directs the Commission to publish a notice of requirements for accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies (laboratories) to assess conformity with such childrens product safety rules.  The Commission will initiate a rulemaking to establish the requirements that third party conformity assessment bodies must meet for Commission acceptance of accreditation for testing pursuant to 16 CFR part 1615 Standard for the Flammability of Childrens Sleepwear: Sizes 0 Through 6X (FF 3-71) and part 1616 Standard for the Flammability of Childrens Sleepwear: Sizes 7 Through 14 (FF 5-74).  These regulations set minimum standards for flammability of childrens sleepwear under the Flammable Fabrics Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314 (Aug. 14, 2008), requires the Commission to initiate by regulation, no later than 15 months after the date of enactment: (1) A program by which a manufacturer or private labeler may label a consumer product as complying with the certification requirements of section 102(a) of the CPSIA; (2) protocols and standards (i) for ensuring that a children's product tested for compliance with an applicable children's product safety rule is subject to testing periodically and when there has been a material change in the product's design or manufacturing process, including the sourcing of component parts; (ii) for the testing of random samples to ensure continued compliance; (iii) for verifying that a children's product tested by a conformity assessment body complies with applicable children's product safety rules; and (iv) for safeguarding against the exercise of undue influence on a third-party conformity assessment body by a manufacturer or private labeler.  In May 2010, the Commission published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register.  The proposed rule defined a reasonable testing program for non-children's products subject to a rule, ban, standard, or regulation enforced by the Commission and additional third-party testing requirement for children's products.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 102(d) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to engage in rulemaking to establish requirements pertaining to the testing, certification, and labeling of certain consumer products.  CPSC also has elected to issue regulations regarding a "reasonable testing program" under section 102(a) of the CPSIA to establish the elements of such a program.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 102(b) of the CPSIA requires the Commission to initiate by regulation: (1) A program by which a manufacturer or private labeler may label a consumer product as complying with the certification requirements of section 102(a) of the CPSIA; (2) protocols and standards (i) for ensuring that a childrens product tested for compliance with an applicable childrens product safety rule is subject to testing periodically and when there has been a material change in the products design or manufacturing process, including the sourcing of component parts; (ii) for the testing of random samples to ensure continued compliance; (iii) for verifying that a childrens product tested by a conformity assessment body complies with applicable childrens product safety rules; and (iv) for safeguarding against the exercise of undue influence on a third-party conformity assessment body by a manufacturer or private labeler.  

Section 102(a) of the CPSIA requires manufacturers of certain products to certify, based on a test of each product or upon a reasonable testing program, that such product comports with all rules, bans, standards, or regulations applicable to the product under laws enforced by CPSC.  Section 3 of the CPSIA authorizes the Commission to issue regulations, as necessary, to implement the CPSIA and the amendments made by the CPSIA.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The preamble to the proposed rule invited comment on alternatives such as: (1) Establishing different compliance or reporting requirements that take into account the resources available to small businesses; (2) clarifying, consolidating, or simplifying compliance and reporting requirements for small entities; (3) using performance rather than design standards; and (4) exempting small entities to the extent statutorily permissible under section 14 of the CPSA.  However, the proposal would give firms considerable discretion to determine the precise nature of their testing programs (including the number of samples to be tested and testing frequency).  As for exemptions, the statute does not appear to give the Commission the authority to exempt firms from the testing or certification requirements, so it may not be possible to exempt firms within section 14 of the CPSA.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The congressional mandate to issue this regulation does not require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to do a cost/benefit analysis for this regulation.  Therefore, a cost/benefit analysis is not available for this regulatory action.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Congress determined a need for testing, and in the case of childrens products, third-party testing to ensure compliance with the Agencys standards.  The Agencys standards address unreasonable risks of injury associated with consumer products; testing and certification to these standards provide an extra assurance that the consumer products are free from those unreasonable risks of injury; and through such testing programs, encourage manufacturers to address possible risks in the early stages of product manufacture.  Given the breadth of the risks of injury the Agencys standards address and the number of products that are subject to testing or third-party testing, it is not possible to provide an analysis of the magnitude of the risk this regulatory action addresses.]]></RISKS>

The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 28, 2010, and the comment period ended July 12, 2010.  The proposed standard is based on ASTM F 1821-09 Standard Consumer Product Safety Specification for Toddler Beds, with some changes and additions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is considering a rule specifying that hand held hair dryers shall be deemed a substantial product hazard under 15 USC 2064(a)(2) if they do not have immersion protection meeting the requirements of section 5 of UL 859, Standard for Household Electric Personal Grooming Appliances.  Such a rule is authorized by 15 USC 2064(j) in cases where readily observable product characteristics are addressed by voluntary standards that have been effective in reducing the risk from such characteristics and there is substantial compliance with such standards.  The rule, if proposed, would address the risk of electrocution when hand held hair dryers are immersed in bath tubs or come into contact with wet surfaces.  The Commission published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register on May 17, 2010.  The comment period ended August 2, 2010.  Staff will send a Final Rule (FR) briefing package to the Commission in February 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 6A of the CPSA requires the Commission to establish and maintain a publicly available, searchable database on the safety of consumer products, and other products or substances regulated by the Commission, which is accessible to the public through the Commissions web site.  The Commission has initiated a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of the statutory requirements for both the content and procedural aspects of such a public database.  A notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) was published in the Federal Register on May 24, 2010, and the comment period ended on July 23, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission) to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products.  These standards are to be "substantially the same as" applicable voluntary standards or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission concludes that more stringent requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product.  The Commission is proposing to revoke its existing regulations pertaining to full-size and non-full-size cribs because the Commission is proposing consumer product safety standards for cribs that will further reduce the risk of injury associated with these products under section 104 of the CPSIA.  The consumer product safety standards for cribs would include the requirements that are currently found at 16 CFR parts 1508 and 1509 for full-size and non-full-size cribs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 23, 2003, the Commission issued an ANPRM to address the risk of fire associated with cigarette and small open flame ignitions of upholstered furniture.  The Commission published an NPRM in March 2008 and received public comments.  The Commission's proposed rule would require that upholstered furniture have cigarette-resistant fabrics or cigarette- and open flame-resistant barriers.  The proposed rule would not require FR chemicals in fabrics or fillings.]]></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 continued 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mandatory Safety Standard for Cigarette Lighters</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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 an 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 incorporated into the FY 2011 briefing package.  Section 232 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) states that the Commission must issue a final rule in its ongoing ATV rulemaking proceeding.  Section 232 of the CPSIA made the voluntary standard for four-wheeled ATVs (ANSI/SVIA 1-2007) a mandatory consumer product safety standard.

        <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.  Also in FY 2006, staff entered into an interagency agreement (IAG) with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to conduct tests with a generator, in both off-the-shelf and prototype configurations, operating in an attached garage to measure how CO moves from the garage into the rest of the house.  The results from these tests will be used by staff to evaluate the efficacy of the prototype in creating survivable conditions for occupants in the house.  Under this IAG, NIST will also model the CO infiltration from the garage into various styles of homes and under different ambient conditions.  In FY 2009, staff entered into a second IAG with NIST with the goal of developing CO emission performance requirements for a possible proposed regulation with criteria based on health effects.  Because performance standards must be technology independent, this activity has been separated from the technology demonstration work being conducted under the first IAG which is intended to demonstrate the feasibility of a possible proposed rule.  In 2010, staff plans to prepare a preliminary report with health effects analyses based on NIST's test results, as well as a summary of the prototype development and durability test program.  These and other 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is considering whether ROVs present an unreasonable risk of injury that should be regulated.  ROVs are motorized vehicles having four or more low pressure tires designed for off-road use and intended by the manufacturer primarily for recreational use by one or more persons.  The salient characteristics of a ROV include a steering wheel for steering control, foot controls for throttle and braking, bench or bucket seats, roll over protective structure, and a maximum speed greater than 30 mph.  On October 21, 2009, the Commission voted to publish an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) in the Federal Register.  The ANPRM was published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2009 and the comment period ended December 28, 2009.  The Commission received two letters requesting an extension of the comment period.  The Commission extended the comment period until March 15, 2010.  Staff is conducting testing and evaluation programs, which may be used to develop performance requirements addressing vehicle stability, vehicle handling, and occupant protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission currently addresses the risk of injury associated with certain corded window covering products by recall and is considering whether to propose a rule to address this hazard.  Strangulations can occur with certain corded window covering products when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the blind or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck.  With certain roll-up blinds, strangulations can occur if the lifting loops slide off the side of the blind and a child's neck becomes entangled on the free-standing loop or if a child places his/her neck between the lifting loop and the roll-up blind material.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the Commission to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products.  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 propose a consumer product safety standard for bedside sleepers to address the risks of occupant retention, structural integrity and product installation, deficiency of consumer education regarding product use, suffocation, strangulation, tip over, and collapse. The proposed standard is expected to be based on a new ASTM Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Bedside Sleepers, with possible changes or additions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (Cigarette Ignition)--Standard Reference Material Ignition Source</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is considering a possible amendment to the existing flammability standard for cigarette ignition resistance of mattress and mattress pads (16 CFR 1632) to incorporate a new Standard Reference Material (SRM) cigarette as the ignition source in the performance tests of the standard.  This activity is related to the Commissions 2005 Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) and research project to amend or revoke the standard, but is a separate initiative to provide a replacement for a specified standard test cigarette that went out of production in 2008.  Manufacturers and testing organizations (including CPSC) use such standard test materials to establish compliance for mattresses subject to 16 CFR 1632.  The new SRM cigarette would have the approximate ignition strength of the original standard test cigarette; the possible proposed amendment would not affect the level of safety provided by the standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Third Party Accreditation for Testing of Children&apos;s Wearing Apparel</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), mandates that third party testing be conducted for certain childrens products. Section 3(a)(2) of the Consumer Product Safety Act defines a children's product as a "consumer product designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger."  Section 102 of the CPSIA also directs the Commission to publish a notice of requirements for accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies (laboratories) to assess conformity with such childrens product safety rules.  Although clothing textiles are often used in nonchildren's wearing apparel, some clothing textiles are designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger.  The Commission initiated a rulemaking to establish the requirements that third party conformity assessment bodies must meet for Commission acceptance of accreditation to test the flammability of clothing textiles and textile fabrics intended for childrens wearing apparel pursuant to 16 CFR part 1610 Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles. The standard provides a test to determine whether such clothing and fabrics exhibit rapid and intense burning and are therefore highly flammable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, Public Law 110-140, (VGB Act), imposes certain requirements on public pools and spas.  Public pools and spas are defined to include, in relevant part, pools or spas open exclusively to patrons of a hotel or other "public accommodations facility."  Section 1404(c)(2)(B)(iii) of the VGB Act.  The term "public accommodations facility" is not defined in the VGB Act.  

On August 4, 2010, the Commission voted (5-0) to withdraw a proposed interpretive rule published on March 15, 2010 interpreting the term public accommodations facility.  The Commission also voted to redraft for publication in the Federal Register a new proposed interpretive rule.  This new proposed interpretive rule would interpret public accommodations facility to mean "an inn, hotel, motel, or other place of lodging, including, but not limited to, rental units rented on a weekly or bi-weekly basis" and include a sixty day comment period.]]></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 is being addressed as part of the rulemaking on Options to Address Crib Safety Hazards (RIN 3041-AC 57).]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission is considering whether to revoke 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(6) and 1500.86(a)(4), but will defer this action until the ASTM standards for bouncer and walker-jumpers (stationary activity centers) have been made mandatory under section 104 of the CPSIA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standard for Infant Walkers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, (CPSIA) requires the Commission to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products.  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 started the rulemakings under section 104 of the CPSIA for infant walkers (and bath seats).  On August 20, 2009, the Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to approve the publication of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register.  The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on September 3, 2009, and the comment period ended November 17, 2009.  On May 26, 2010, the Commmission voted to approve publication of a final rule in the Federal Register.  The final rule was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the Commission to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products.  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 started the rulemakings under section 104 of the CPSIA for bath seats (and infant walkers).  On August 20, 2009, the Commission voted unanimously to approve a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for bath seats.  The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on September 3, 2009, and the comment period ended November 17, 2009.  On May 19, 2010, the Commission voted to approve publication of a final rule.  The final rule was published in the Federal Register on June 4, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revokes certain regulations pertaining to baby-walkers.  CPSC is taking this action because the regulations, which originally were issued in 1971, are outdated and do not provide the degree of safety that is provided by currently manufactured baby walkers that comply with a more effective voluntary standard.  On August 20, 2009, the Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).  The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on September 3, 2009, and the comment period ended November 2, 2009.  On May 26, 2010, the Commission voted to publish a final rule.  The final rule was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Accommodations Facility</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, Public Law 110-140, (VGB Act), imposes certain requirements on public pools and spas.  Public pools and spas are defined to include, in relevant part, pools or spas open exclusively to patrons of a hotel or other "public accommodations facility."  Section 1404(c)(2)(B)(iii) of the VGB Act.  The term "public accommodations facility" is not defined in the VGB Act.  

On March 1, 2010, the Commission voted (4-1) to issue a proposed interpretive rule interpreting "public accommodations facility" to mean "an inn, hotel, motel, or other place of lodging, except for an establishment located within a building that contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and that is actually occupied by the proprietor of such establishment as the residence of such proprietor."  This proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on March 15, 2010 (75 FR 12167).  On August 4, 2010, the Commission voted (5-0) to withdraw the proposed interpretive rule published on March 15, 2010.  (The Commission also voted to  redraft for publication in the Federal Register a new proposed interpretive rule interpreting public accommodations facility to mean "an inn, hotel, motel, or other place of lodging, including, but not limited to, rental units rented on a weekly or bi-weekly basis."  This will be accomplished in a separate rulemaking action.)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act; Interpretation of Unblockable Drain</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 21, 2009, the Commission issued a notice in the Federal Register (74 FR 54031) announcing that it would be conducting a public hearing to receive views from all interested parties about draft guidance regarding unblockable drains as used in the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, 15 U.SC. 8001 et seq.  The Commission invited public participation at this hearing.  On November 4, 2009, the Commission conducted a public hearing on the staff's draft technical guidance and heard presentations from nine individuals.  On April 6, 2010, the Commission voted 3-2 to interpret the term unblockable drain as used in the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 8001 et seq., as follows:  unblockable drain includes a suction outlet defined as all components, including the sump and/or body, cover/grate, and hardware such that its perforated (open) area cannot be shadowed by the area of the 18 x 23 Body Blocking Element of ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-2007 and that the rated flow through the remaining open area (beyond the shadowed portion) cannot create a suction force in excess of the removal force values in Table 1 of that Standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), mandates that third party testing be conducted for certain childrens products.  Section 3(a)(2) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) defines a children's product as "a consumer product designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger."  Section 102 of the CPSIA also directs the Commission to publish a notice of requirements for accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies (laboratories) to assess conformity with such childrens product safety rules.  Although carpets and rugs are often for general use, some carpets and rugs are designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger.  The Commission initiated a rulemaking to establish the requirements that third party conformity assessment bodies must meet for Commission acceptance of accreditation for testing pursuant to 16 CFR part 1630 Standard for the Surface Flammability of Carpets and Rugs and part 1631 Standard for the Surface Flammability of Small Carpets and Rugs.  Youth carpets and rugs are defined as the products falling within the scope of 16 CFR parts 1630 and 1631 that are likely to be purchased for children 12 years old and younger.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Third Party Accreditation for Testing of Youth Mattresses, Mattress Pads, and/or Mattress Sets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), mandates that third party testing be conducted for certain childrens products. Section 3(a)(2) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) defines a children's product as "a consumer product designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger."  Section 102 of the CPSIA also directs the Commission to publish a notice of requirements for accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies (laboratories) to assess conformity with such childrens product safety rules.  Although mattresses, mattress pads and/or mattress sets are often for general use, some mattresses, mattress pads and/or mattress sets are designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger.  Examples of such products include youth and crib size mattresses.  The Commission initiated a rulemaking to establish the requirements that third party conformity assessment bodies must meet for Commission acceptance of accreditation for testing of mattresses, mattress pads, and/or mattress sets pursuant to 16 CFR parts 1632 Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (FF 4-72, amended) and/or 1633 Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets, which set minimum standards for flammability under the Flammable Fabrics Act.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Corporation for National and Community Service plans to revise regulations governing the AmeriCorps*VISTA program under the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 to describe program policies and to implement administrative reforms or possible statutory amendments.  In addition, the regulation may be amended to also implement Executive Order 13331, which will result in an improvement in the overall accountability and efficiency in the administration of the Corporation's national and community service programs.  Also, the Corporation plans to remove all references to the Corporation's predecessor agency--ACTION--and to redesignate the regulatory provisions currently in 45 CFR chapter 12 to 45 CFR chapter 25, where the Corporation's other regulations are published.  Furthermore, the Corporation plans to provide additional information regarding program policies associated with the operations and benefits of the AmeriCorps*VISTA programs.  Furthermore, the Corporation intends to update the regulations regarding prohibitions on electoral and lobbying activities, including Hatch Act restrictions on AmeriCorps*VISTA members and sponsors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are amending 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 amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 866 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 (Pub. L. 110-417), as well as section 852 of the John Warner NDAA for FY 2007 (Pub. L. 109-364). This legislation requires the Councils to amend the FAR to minimize excessive pass-through charges by contractors from subcontractors or of tiers of subcontractors that add no or negligible value, and to ensure that neither a contractor nor a subcontractor receives indirect costs or profit/fee (i.e., pass-through charges) on work performed by a lower-tier subcontractor to which the higher-tier contractor or subcontractor adds no, or negligible, value.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 743 of Division D of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111-8).  Section 743 of Division D of this Act prohibits the award of contracts using appropriated funds to any foreign incorporated entity that is treated as an inverted domestic corporation or to any subsidiary of one.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has had its own rule prohibiting contracting with inverted domestic corporations since December 2003 (see 48 CFR subpart 3009.1). The DHS rule implements section 835 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296, 6 U.S.C. 395).

This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was 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>

This order treats as unallowable the costs of any activities undertaken to persuade employees, whether employees of the recipient of Federal disbursements or of any other entity, to exercise or not to exercise, or concerning the manner of exercising, the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of the employees own choosing. This is a significant regulatory action and therefore, was 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>FAR Case 2008-025, Preventing Personal Conflicts of Interest for Contractor Employees Performing Acquisition Functions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to provide regulatory coverage, including 52.203-16, Preventing Personal Conflicts of Interest, to implement policy on personal conflicts of interest by employees of Government contractors as required by section 841(a) of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Pub. L. 110-417).  

This rule does not address the issue of personal conflicts of interest by contractor employees with respect to other functions, or the issue of additional coverage addressing organizational conflicts of interest.  Those issues, which were the subject of an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (see 73 FR 15961, March 26, 2008, and 73 FR 34600, June 17, 2008), will be addressed consistent with the requirements of section 841, which requires review by the Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, to determine whether further revision to the FAR, and action by the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, is necessary.

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2008-007, Additional Requirements for Market Research</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule is amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 826 of Public Law 110-181, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (NDAA FY08), which established additional requirements in subsection (c) of 10 U.S.C. section 2377. As a matter of policy, these requirements are extended to all executive agencies. Specifically, the head of the agency must conduct market research before issuing an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) task or delivery order for a noncommercial item in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold. In addition, a prime contractor of a contract in excess of $5 million for the procurement of items other than commercial items shall conduct market research before making purchases that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold for or on behalf of the Government. This rule is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was subject to review under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are issuing an interim rule amending the FAR to revise three subparagraphs and add one subparagraph to the clause at FAR 52.204-11. This interim rule does not require renegotiation of existing Recovery Act contracts that include the clause dated March 2009 (published at 74 FR 14639). This change will require first-tier subcontractors with Recovery Act funded awards of $25,000 or more, to report jobs information to the prime contractor for reporting into FederalReporting.gov. It also will require the prime contractor to submit its first report on or before the 10th day after the end of the calendar quarter in which the prime contractor received the award, and quarterly thereafter.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (the Councils) are issuing an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement the Executive Order 13513, issued on October 1, 2009, entitled Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging while Driving.  This Executive Order was issued to demonstrate Federal leadership in improving safety on the nations roads and highways and to enhance the efficiency of Federal contracting.  This purpose of this policy is to prevent the unsafe practice of text messaging of Federal contractors while driving in connection with Government business. This policy further promotes economy and efficiency in Federal procurement and seeks to prohibit the disruption of Government business and Federal procurement by unsafe text messaging practices. This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore is subject to review under section 6(b) of the 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>FAR Case 2009-020, Offering a Construction Requirement8(a) Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) have agreed on a final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to revise FAR subpart 19.8, Contracting with the Small Business Administration (The 8(a) Program), to conform to the Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations.  The FAR Council did not publish this rule for comment because this change already exists in the Small Business Administration Regulations, as of January 1, 2009, and the FAR is being updated to conform to their regulations.  This revision changes the location for submitting offering letters to SBA for a construction requirement for which no specific Participant is nominated and impacts internal procedures that the contracting officer is now required to follow. 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[This rule implements the decision of the Rothe case. The Rothe case concerns the constitutionality of 10 USC 2323, section 1207 as enacted in 2006, that sets a 5 percent goal of DOD contracting dollars to small businesses, incorporating minorities and the award of contracts to SDBs at prices up to 10 percent above the fair market price. The Rothe case found that section 1207 is "facially unconstitutional" and impacts not only SDBs but certain institutions of higher learning (i.e., HBCUs/MIs).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2007-018, Organizational Conflicts of Interest</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to provide regulatory coverage revising subpart 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest, relocating the coverage to a new FAR subpart 3.12, and adding clauses at FAR 52.203. Organizational conflicts of interest can impair the Governments ability to acquire supplies and services that are the best value to the Government, and can present the appearance of impropriety. It is the Governments policy to protect its interests by identifying and resolving organizational conflicts of interest. Therefore, the Councils propose that this rule should require that every acquisition in which the contracting officer determines that contractor performance of the contemplated work may give rise to one or more organizational conflicts of interest, the contracting activity shall ensure that (1) offerors are required to disclose facts bearing on the possible existence of organizational conflicts of interest both prior to contract award and on a continuing basis during contract performance; (2) all identified organizational conflicts of interest are either resolved or waived prior to the award of a contract (including individual task or delivery orders); and (3) the contract establishes a process by which the parties will resolve any organizational conflicts of interest that arise during contract performance. This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to Office of Management and Budget 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>FAR Case 2008-030, Proper Use and Management of Cost-Reimbursement Contracts
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule is amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 864 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009, Pub. L. 110-417, enacted October 14, 2008.  This law aligns with the Presidential Memorandum on Government Contracting, issued on March 4, 2009, which directed agencies to save $40 billion in contracting annually by Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 and to reduce the use of high-risk contracts.  This rule provides regulatory guidance on the proper use and management of other than firm fixed price contracts (e.g. cost-reimbursement, time-and-material and labor-hour).  This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was subject to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 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 amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 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 is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, is subject to review under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1933.  This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.]]></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, is 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) have agreed on an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 844 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, "Public Disclosure of Justification and Approval Documents for Noncompetitive Contracts" (FY08 NDAA).  Section 844 of the FY08 NDAA stipulates the requirements regarding the public availability of justification and approval documents after the award of Federal contracts, except for information exempt from public disclosure. This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was 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 amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 697, Registry of Disaster Response Contractors (Pub. L. 109-295), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations Act, 2007 (6 U.S.C. 796).  The Act requires that the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a component of DHS, establish and maintain a registry of contractors who are willing to perform debris removal, distribution of supplies, reconstruction, and other disaster or emergency relief activities. In addition, the Act requires contracting Officers to consult the Registry during market research and acquisition planning. This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was 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>

This E.O. revokes E.O. 13202 of February 17, 2001, which prohibited executive departments and agencies from requiring Government contractors and subcontractors to enter project labor agreements. The new E.O. encourages Federal departments and agencies to consider the use of project labor agreements for Federal construction projects where the total cost to the Government is more than $25 million.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to establish procedures for contracting officers to provide contractor information into the Past Performance Information System (PPIRS). This case sets forth requirements for reporting defective cost or pricing data and terminations for cause or default. Evaluation of past performance information, especially terminations, manages risks associated with timely, effective, and cost efficient completion of contracts, a key objective of the President's March 4, 2009, Memorandum on Government Contracting. This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was 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>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 whether the employer or employee 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. Knolls Atomic Laboratory, that employers bore the burden of proof.  Thus, the EEOC's proposed regulation conforms 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 issued a separate NPRM to address the scope of the RFOA defense.  This NPRM is titled "Reasonable Factors Other Than Age Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act."  A Final Rule will cover the issues addressed in both NPRMs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Americans With Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 ("the Amendments Act") was signed into law on September 25, 2008, with a statutory effective date of January 1, 2009. EEOC proposes to revise its Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations and accompanying interpretative guidance (29 CFR part 1630 and accompanying appendix) in order to implement the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. Pursuant to the 2008 amendments, the definition of disability under the ADA shall be construed in favor of broad coverage to the maximum extent permitted by the terms of the ADA, and the determination of whether an individual has a disability should not demand extensive analysis. The Amendments Act rejects the holdings in several Supreme Court decisions and portions of EEOC's ADA regulations. The effect of these changes is to make it easier for an individual seeking protection under the ADA to establish that he or she has a disability within the meaning of the ADA.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This regulation is necessary to bring the Commission's regulations into compliance with the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, which became effective January 1, 2009, and explicitly invalidated certain provisions of the existing regulations. The Amendments Act retains the terminology of the ADA's basic definition of "disability" as an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment. However, it changes the way that these statutory terms should be interpreted in several ways, therefore necessitating revision of the existing regulations and interpretive guidance contained in the accompanying "Appendix to Part 1630--Interpretive Guidance on Title I of the Americans With Disabilities Act," which are published at 29 CFR part 1630. The proposed revisions to the title I regulations and appendix are intended to enhance predictability and consistency between judicial interpretations and executive enforcement of the ADA as now amended by Congress.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 506 of the Amendments Act, 42 U.S.C. section 12205a, gives the EEOC the authority to issue regulations implementing the definitions of disability in section 12102 of this title (including rules of construction) and the definitions in section 12103 of this title, consistent with the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[None: Congress mandated issuance of regulations.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The EEOC anticipates economic and other benefits from the rule in many areas.  For example, applicants and employees will be entitled to reasonable accommodation absent undue hardship to perform jobs for which they are qualified, whereas they may have been deemed not to meet the ADA's definition of disability prior to the Amendments Act and denied accommodations as a result.  Also, employers will  incur benefits from their ability to retain, hire, and promote qualified personnel; increased employee attendance and productivity; avoidance of costs associated with under-performance, workplace injury, and turnover; and benefits from savings in workers' compensation and related insurance. Finally, definitional clarity brought by the amended regulation will have the economic benefit of reducing litigation and the need for costly experts to address "disability," and will streamline the issues requiring judicial attention. To the extent that employers may in some cases need to revise internal policies and procedures to reflect the broader definition of disability under the Amendments Act and train personnel to ensure appropriate compliance with the revised regulation, the Commission will continue to provide free technical assistance and outreach, including presentations and materials targeted specifically to small employers.

Costs would be incurred by employers with 15 or more employees that are covered by the ADA.  Applying the broader Amendments Act interpretation of when an impairment "substantially limits" a major life activity, more applicants and employees will meet the definition of disability and thus be potentially entitled to reasonable accommodations that do not pose an undue hardship.  Available cost data is limited.  However, using research indicating that the average cost of an accommodation is $462, the NPRM estimated the additional cost of accommodations as a result of the Amendments Act and the EEOC regulations at $74 million.  Assuming these requests occur over 5 years, since it is reasonable to assume that not all new requests will occur in the same year, the annual estimated cost would be $15 million.  The NPRM noted that it is possible that these estimates are at least twice as great as the actual costs would be, given research indicating that prior to the Amendments Act, fewer than half of the accommodation requests were granted.  It is also important to note that both government-sponsored and private studies have repeatedly found that more than 50 percent of accommodations have zero costs for employers, both large and small.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reasonable Factors Other Than Age Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 31, 2008, the EEOC published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concerning the disparate impact burden of proof under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. 73 FR 16807 (March 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" (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 v. City of Jackson, 544 U.S. 228 (2005), and Meacham v. Knolls Atomic Power Lab., 554 U.S. ___, 128 S. Ct. 2395 (2008), the Commission issued this NPRM to address the scope of the RFOA defense.  Accordingly, before finalizing its regulations concerning disparate impact burden of proof under the ADEA, the Commission will conduct this rulemaking to amend its regulations concerning RFOA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission received comments on proposed rules designed to implement the 1996 Telecommunications Act with respect to information services to prevent abusive and deceptive practices by entities that might try to circumvent the statutory requirements. The proposed rules address generally the use of dialing sequences other than the 900 service access code to provide information services.  The Commission issued an NPRM on these issues July 16, 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Subscriber Selection Changes Provision of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (CC Docket No. 94-129)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In December 1998, the Commission established new rules and policies implementing section 258 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which makes it unlawful for any telecommunications carrier to "submit or execute a change in a subscriber's selection of a provider of telecommunications exchange service or telephone toll service except in accordance with such verification procedures as the Commission shall prescribe." The rules provide, among other things, that any telecommunications carrier that violates such verification procedures and that collects charges for telephone exchange service or telephone toll service from a subscriber shall be liable to the carrier previously selected by the subscriber in an amount equal to 150 percent of all charges paid by the subscriber after such violation. In April 2000, the Commission modified the slamming liability rules by giving victims of slamming adequate redress, ensuring that carriers that slam do not profit from their fraud, and allowing States to act as the primary administrator of slamming complaints.  In 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[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 amending 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 3 months.  

On April 5, 2006, the Commission adopted a Report and Order and Third Order on Reconsideration amending its facsimile advertising rules to implement the Junk Fax Protection Act of 2005.  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.

On January 22, 2010, the Commission released an NPRM proposing to require sellers and telemarketers to obtain express written consent from recipients before making prerecorded telemarketing calls, commonly known as "robocalls," even when the caller has an established business relationship with the consumer.  The proposals also, among other things, would require that prerecorded telemarketing calls include an automated, interactive mechanism by which a consumer may "opt out" of receiving future prerecorded messages from a seller or telemarketer.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding established a new docket flowing from the previous telecommunications relay service (TRS) history, CC Docket No. 98-67.  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding establishes a new docket, CG Docket No. 08-15, that stems from the general telecommunications relay service (TRS) docket, CG Docket No. 03-123.  It concentrates on regulations related to Speech-to-Speech (STS) TRS.  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>Structure and Practices of the Video Relay Service (VRS) Program (CG Docket No. 10-51)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this proceeding, the Commission addresses the compensability from the Interstate Telecommunications Relay Service Fund (Fund) of certain types of calls using VRS.  The Commission reiterates and adopts rules, and seeks comment on a broad array of possible changes, in order to further detect and deter the misuse of VRS and the billing of illegitimate minutes to the Fund.

In a Notice of Inquiry (NOI), the Commission also takes a fresh look at its VRS rules to ensure that it is available to and used by the full spectrum of eligible users, encourages innovation, and is provided efficiently so as to be less susceptible to the waste, fraud, and abuse that plague the current program and threaten its long-term viability.  In part I of the NOI, the Commission asks broad questions on exactly how VRS providers should be compensated if the Commission retains the current, multiple provider model for delivering VRS.  In Part II of the NOI, the Commission asks whether we should consider fundamental changes to the delivery of VRS and market structure for the service.  The Commission specifically seeks comment on the most effective and efficient way to make VRS available and to determine what is the most fair, efficient, and transparent cost recovery methodology.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accessible Mobile Phone Options for People Who Are Blind, Deaf-Blind, or Have Low Vision (CG Docket No. 10-145)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Based on public input along with the record developed in conjunction with the National Broadband Plan, Commission staff is concerned that people who are blind or have other vision disabilities have few accessible and affordable wireless phone options.  Commission staff is also concerned that many wireless technologies may not be compatible with Braille displays needed by individuals who are deaf-blind.

In order to be fully informed on the issues raised by consumers and determined appropriate next steps to achieve telecommunications access for these populations, Commission staff seeks input from all stakeholders on, among other related issues: (1) The wireless phone features and functions in the current marketplace that are not accessible for people who are blind, have vision loss, or are deaf-blind; (2) the cost and feasibility of technical solutions to achieve wireless accessibility for these populations; and (3) recommendations on the most effective and efficient technical and policy solutions for addressing the needs of consumers within these populations.]]></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.  The docket in this proceeding is now closed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1997, the Commission adopted service rules for the satellite digital audio radio service (SDARS) in the 2320-2345 MHz frequency band and sought further comment on proposed rules governing the use of complementary SDARS terrestrial repeaters.  The Commission released a second further notice of proposed rulemaking in January 2008 to consider new proposals for rules to govern terrestrial repeaters operations.  The Commission released a Second Report and Order on May 20, 2010, which adopted rules governing the operation of SDARS terrestrial repeaters, including establishing a blanket licensing regime for repeaters operating up to 12 kilowatts average equivalent isotropically radiated power.]]></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.

In the Eighth Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission adopted the proposals in the Third FNPRM, in large part.  This proceeding is now closed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Space Station Licensing Reform (IB Docket No. 02-34)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted a Notice or Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to streamline its procedures for reviewing satellite license applications.  Before 2003, the Commission used processing rounds to review those applications.  In a processing round, when an application is filed, the International Bureau (Bureau) issued a public notice establishing a cut-off date for other mutually exclusive satellite applications, and then considered all those applications together.  In cases where sufficient spectrum to accommodate all the application was not available, the Bureau directed the applicants to negotiate a mutually agreeable solution.  Those negotiations took a long time, and delayed provision of satellite services to the public.

The NPRM invited comment on two alternatives for expediting the satellite application process.  One alternative was 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 was to streamline the processing round procedure by adopting one or more of the following proposals: (1) Place a time limit on negotiations; (2) established criteria to select among competing applicants; (3) divide 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, 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, 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Service Rules and Procedures To Govern the Use of Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service Earth Stations in the Frequency Bands Allocated to the Fixed Satellite Service (IB Docket No. 05-20)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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[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[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>

In the latest NPRM, comment was sought on rule changes that may be necessary or desirable in order to account for changes in the regulatory process resulting from the end of the Commission's statutory authority to regulate certain tiers of cable programming service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cable Home Wiring</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 6, 1997, the FCC adopted a Report and Order and Second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FCC 97-376) 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, a security element (known as a "cablecard") 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.  Also, in this proceeding, 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 the most recent FNPRM, the Commission proposed new rules to improve the operation of the CableCard regime.]]></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.  In the Fourth Report and Order, the carriage obligations of small cable systems were addressed.]]></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>

        <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 adopted rule changes regarding newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership, but otherwise generally retained the other broadcast ownership rules currently in effect.  An appeal of this action is before the Third Circuit.]]></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.  Petitions for reconsideration are pending.]]></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  (MB Docket No. 05-311)</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 October 2007 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.  The associated Report and Order adopted rules to permit complainants to pursue program access claims regarding terrestrially delivered cable affiliated programming.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Third Periodic Review of the Commission&apos;s Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital Television (MB Docket No. 07-91)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Congress has mandated that after February 17, 2009, full-power broadcast stations must transmit only in digital signals, and may no longer transmit analog signals.  This proceeding is the Commissions third periodic review of the transition of the nations broadcast television system from analog to digital television (DTV).  The Commission conducts these periodic reviews in order to assess the progress of the transition and make any necessary adjustments to the Commissions rules and policies to facilitate the introduction of DTV service and the recovery of spectrum at the end of the transition.  In this review, the Commission considers how to ensure that broadcasters complete construction of their final post-transition (digital) facilities by the statutory deadline.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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, within specific technical parameters.  The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposed 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.  The resulting Report and Order adopted changes to the FM translator rules to permit AM retransmission.]]></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>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 need 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sponsorship Identification Rules and Embedded Advertising (MB Docket No. 08-90)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding was commenced to consider a number of changes to the Commission's rules and procedures to carry out the statutory goal of distributing radio service fairly and equitably, and to increase the transparency and efficiency of radio broadcast auction and licensing processes.  In the NPRM, comment is sought on specific proposals regarding the procedures used to award commercial broadcast spectrum in the AM and FM broadcast bands.  The accompanying Report and Order adopts rules that provide tribes a priority to obtain broadcast radio licenses in tribal communities.  The Commission concurrently adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on whether to extend the tribal priority to tribes that do not possess tribal land.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Diversity and competition are longstanding and important Commission goals.  The measures proposed, as well as those adopted in this proceeding, are intended to promote diversity of ownership of media outlets.  In the Report and Order and third FNPRM, measures are enacted to increase participation in the broadcasting industry by new entrants and small businesses, including minority- and women-owned businesses.  In the Report and Order and fourth FNPRM, the Commission adopts improvements to its data collection in order to obtain an accurate and comprehensive assessment of minority and female broadcast ownership in the United States.  The Memorandum Opinion & Order addressed petitions for Reconsideration of the rules, and also sought comment on a proposal to expand the reporting requirements to non attributable interests.]]></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>Coordination Between the Non-Geostationary and Geostationary Satellite Orbit; ET Docket No. 03-254</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Report and Order (R&O), specified rules and procedures to be used for frequency coordination between terrestrial Broadcast Auxiliary Service and Cable Television Relay Service (BAS/CARS) operations and geostationary satellite orbit (GSO) or non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) fixed-satellite service (FSS) operations in the 6875 7075 MHz (7 GHz) and 12750-13250 MHz (13 GHz) bands.  The Commission did not adopt at this time a Growth Zone proposal that would have supplemented our existing terrestrial coordination procedures between NGSO FSS space-to-Earth operations and existing fixed service (FS) operations in the 10.7 11.7 GHz (10 GHz) band, and will retain our existing coordination rules.  The Commissions decisions in this proceeding supports actions intended to allow new satellite services in frequency bands used by various fixed and mobile operations and addresses issues raised in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in this proceeding.  This action permits satellite and terrestrial services operating in these bands to continue to coordinate their spectrum use in an efficient manner.  This Report and Order also terminates this proceeding.]]></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.

The Further Request for Comment and FNPRM addresses certain issues from the Commission's Report and Order on rules for broadband over power line systems and devices (BPL Order) that was remanded by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.  In the BPL Order, the Commission established technical standards, operating restrictions, and measurement guidelines for Access Broadband over Power Line (Access BPL) systems to promote the development of such systems while ensuring that licensed radio services are protected from harmful interference.  In ARRL v FCC, the court remanded the BPL Order to the Commission for further consideration and explanation of certain aspects of its decision.  Specifically the court directed the Commission to provide a reasonable opportunity for public comment on unredacted staff technical studies on which it relied to promulgate the rules, to make the studies part of the rulemaking record, and to provide a reasonable explanation of the choice of an extrapolation factor for use in measurement of emmissions from Access BPL systems.]]></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 (ET Docket No. 06-135)</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.    

The Report and Order establishes a new Medical Device Radiocommunication Service (MedRadio Service) of the Commissions rules.  This new service incorporates the existing Medical Implant Communications Service (MICS) core band at 402-405 MHz, and also includes two megahertz of newly designated spectrum in the adjacent wing bands at 401-402 MHz and 405-406 MHz.  The MedRadio Service will accommodate the operation of body-worn as well as implanted medical devices, including those using either listen-before-talk (LBT) frequency monitoring or non-LBT spectrum access methods, in designated portions of the 401 406 MHz band.

The Commission addressed a petition for reconsideration (petition) filed by Medtronic, Inc. (Medtronic) regarding rules for the Medical Device Radio-communication (MedRadio) service.  The Commission granted reconsideration to the extent of amending the MedRadio rules to permit the submission of average power transmitter measurements, and making editorial corrections or clarifications to several provisions concerning the frequency monitoring criteria and permissible communications for listen-before-talk (LBT) and non-LBT devices.  The Commission denied reconsideration in all other respects and otherwise affirmed certain provisions of the MedRadio rules questioned by Medtronic.]]></ABSTRACT>

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.

The Commission proposes to implement provisions of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA) that require the Commission, within 270 days after the date of its February 27, 2010 enactment,  to  develop and prescribe by rule a point-to-point predictive model for reliably and presumptively determining the ability of individual locations, through the use of an antenna, to receive signals in accordance with the signal intensity standard in Section 73.622(e)(1) of [our rules], or a successor regulation, including to account for the continuing operation of translator stations and low power television stations, and to issue an order completing its rulemaking to establish a procedure for on-site measurement of digital television signals in ET Docket No. 06-94.  The Commission previously sought comment on a variety of issues related to establishment of a procedure for on-location measurements pursuant to the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 (SHVERA), but has not yet adopted final rules specifying such a procedure.

  In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) portion of this action, the Commission proposes to prescribe a point-to-point predictive model for determining the ability of individual locations to receive an over-the-air digital television broadcast signal at the intensity level needed for service through the use of an antenna, as required by the STELA.  Our goal in proposing this model is to provide a means for reliably and presumptively determining whether the over-the-air signals of television stations, including low power stations, can be received at individual locations for purposes of establishing the eligibility of individual households to receive the signals of distant television broadcast network stations from their satellite carriers.  The Commission believes that the proposed predictive model, which is based on the current model for predicting the intensity of analog television signals at individual locations, will allow such determinations to be made in a timely and cost effective manner for all parties involved, including network TV stations, satellite carriers and satellite subscribers.  

In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM), the Commission seeks information to update the record in ET Docket No. 06-94, based on which it intends to prescribe rules for determining eligibility of satellite subscribers for receiving distant network signals from their satellite TV provider using on-location testing/measurements.  The Commission previously sought comment on a variety of issues related to establishment of a procedure for on-location measurements pursuant to the SHVERA, but has not yet adopted final rules specifying such a procedure.  In the STELA, Congress modified some of the testing requirements set forth in the SHVERA.  The Commission is now addressing these modifications to both refresh the record and obtain additional information and comment on STELA requirements that differ from the SHVERA requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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[In the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) the Commission seeks comment on allocating spectrum and establishing service and technical rules for the operation of Medical Body Area Network (or MBAN) systems using body sensor devices.  MBAN systems would provide a flexible platform for the wireless networking of multiple body sensors used for monitoring a patients physiological data, primarily in health care facilities.  Use of MBAN systems hold the promise of improved safety, quality, and efficiency of patient care by reducing or eliminating a wide array of hardwired, patient-attached cables used by present monitoring technologies. This NPRM reflects the Commissions continuing desire to foster the availability and use of advanced medical devices using wireless technologies which, in turn, should help to improve the health and well-being of the American public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amateur Radio Use of the Allocation at 5 MHz (ET Docket No. 10-98)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), the Commission proposes to amend parts 2 and 97 of the Commissions Rules relating to the Amateur Radio Service.  Specifically, the Commission proposes to modify the rules pertaining to the use of five channels in the 5330.6-5406.4 kHz band (the 60 meter band) to replace one designated channel with one that is less encumbered, to authorize three additional emission designators, and to increase the maximum authorized power in this band.  These proposals are in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL).  Additionally, and on its own motion, the Commission proposes to make editorial revisions to the relevant portions of the Table of Frequency Allocations (Allocation Table) in parts 2 and 97.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unlicensed Personal Communications Services Devices in the 1920-1930 MHz Band (ET Docket No. 10-97)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rule Making proposes changes to the Commissions rules to enable Unlicensed Personal Communications Service (UPCS) devices operating in the 1920-1930 MHz band (known as the UPCS band) to make more efficient use of this spectrum.  This action is taken in response to a Petition for Rulemaking filed by the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications Forum (DECT), an association that promotes digital cordless radio technology for short-distance voice and data applications.  The current rules prevent UPCS devices from accessing channels where a certain level of radio noise is detected, even though those channels remain usable.  The proposed rule changes would adjust the radio noise level at which a channel would be deemed usable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fixed and Mobile Services in the Mobile Satellite Service (ET Docket No. 10-142)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rule Making proposes to take a number of actions to further the provision of terrestrial broadband services in the MSS bands.  In the 2 GHz MSS band, the Commission proposes to add co-primary Fixed and Mobile allocations to the existing Mobile-Satellite allocation.  This will lay the groundwork for providing additional flexibility in use of the 2 GHz spectrum in the future.  The Commission also proposes to apply the terrestrial secondary market spectrum leasing rules and procedures to transactions involving terrestrial use of the MSS spectrum in the 2 GHz, Big LEO, and L-bands in order to create greater certainty and regulatory parity with bands licensed for terrestrial broadband service.  

The Commission also asks, in a Notice of Inquiry, about approaches for creating opportunities for full use of the 2 GHz band for stand-alone terrestrial uses.  The Commission requests comment on ways to promote innovation and investment throughout the MSS bands while also ensuring market-wide mobile satellite capability to serve important needs like disaster recovery and rural access.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The ex parte  process allows parties in most Commission proceedings to speak directly (or have written communications) with Commission staff and decisionmakers, providing a way to have an interactive dialogue that can root out areas of concern, address gaps in understanding, identify weaknesses in the record, discuss alternative approaches, and generally lead to more informed decisionmaking.  In this proceeding, we seek ways to improve our ex parte and other procedural rules to make the Commissions decisionmaking processes more open, transparent, and effective.]]></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 delegated 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 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 reviewing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks (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.

The wireless industry challenged the backup power rule in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and, with some wireline providers, challenged the associated information collection before OMB.  In February 2008, the Court issued a stay of the rule pending appeal, and, on July 8, 2008, the Court issued an order holding its decision on the challenge to the backup power rule in abeyance pending action by OMB on the information collection associated with the revised rule.  In November 2008, OMB rejected the information collection.

As a result of the actions by the Court and OMB, the backup power rule has never gone into effect.  In December 2008, the FCC's Office of General Counsel requested that the Court dismiss the pending appeals of the backup power rule and informed the Court that the Commission plans to issue an NPRM to develop a revised rule.  On July 31, 2009, the Court dismissed the petitions for review as moot and ordered that the backup power rule by vacated and this mandate was issued until September 18, 2009.]]></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>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.

On January 15, 2010, the Commission released a Report and Order that prohibits the distribution and sale of wireless microphones that operate in the 700 MHz Band (698-806 MHz, channels 52-69) and includes a number of provisions to clear these devices from that band.  These actions help complete an important part of the DTV transition by clearing the 700 MHz Band to enable the rollout of communications services for public safety and the deployment of next generation wireless devices.

On January 15, 2010, the Commission also released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on the operation of low power auxiliary stations, including wireless microphones, in the core TV bands (channels 2-51, excluding channel 37).  Among the issues the Commission is considering in the Further Notice are revisions to its rules to expand eligibility for licenses to operate wireless microphones under part 74; the operation of wireless microphones on an unlicensed basis in the core TV bands under part 15; technical rules to apply to low power wireless audio devices, including wireless microphones, operating in the core TV bands on an unlicensed basis under Part 15 of the rules; and long term solutions to address the operation of wireless microphones and the efficient use of the core TV spectrum.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this NPRM, the Commission seeks comment on revisions to part 17 of the Commission's rules governing construction, marking, and lighting of antenna structures.  The Commission initiated this proceeding to update and modernize the part 17 rules.  These proposed revisions are intended to improve compliance with these rules and allow the Commission to enforce them more effectively, helping to better ensure the safety of pilots and aircraft passengers nationwide.  The proposed revisions would also remove outdated and burdensome requirements without compromising the Commission's statutory responsibility to prevent antenna structures from being hazards or menaces to air navigation.]]></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 October 9, 2009, the Commission issued an Order and Notice of Proposed (NPRM) addressing the effect of line loss on universal service Local Switching Support (LSS) received by incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) that are designated as eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs).  Under the Commissions rules, as an incumbent LEC ETCs access lines increase above certain thresholds, the amount of LSS it may receive decreases.  The order denies the Coalition for Equity in Switching Support's petition seeking clarification that the Commission's rules allow an incumbent LEC ETC's local switching support to increase if the carrier's access lines decrease below those thresholds.  In the NPRM, the Commission tentatively concludes that the LSS rules should be modified to permit incumbent LEC ETCs that lose lines to increase their LSS; and the Commission seeks comment on these proposed rule changes.  

On November 5, 2009, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that proposes to revise the Commissions rules for the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism, also known as the E-rate program, to comply with the requirements of the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act.  The Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act added a new certification requirement for elementary and secondary schools that have computers with Internet access and receive discounts under the E-rate program.  The NPRM also proposes to revise related Commission rules to reflect existing statutory language more accurately.

On December 2, 2009, the Commission issued a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) addressing and seeking comment on issues regarding the services eligible for funding under the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism, also known as the E-rate program.  The order released the Funding Year 2010 E-rate Eligible Service List, concluding that interconnected voice over Internet protocol VoIP service is an eligible service and should continue to receive E-rate program funding.  Additionally, the report and order clarifies the E-rate program eligibility of text messaging, video on-demand servers, Ethernet, web hosting, wireless local area network (LAN) controllers, and virtualization software.  The FNPRM seeks comment on the eligibility of certain services in future funding years, as well as on proposed changes to the process for determining the services that will be eligible for support under the E-rate program.   

On December 8, 2009, the Commission sought comment on a petition for rulemaking filed by the National Cable and Telecommunications Association (NCTA).  NCTA proposes that the Commission establish procedures to reduce the amount of universal service high-cost support provided to carriers in those areas of the country where there is extensive, unsubsidized facilities-based voice competition and where government subsidies no longer are needed to ensure that service will be made available to consumers.

On December 15, 2009, the Commission issued a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking responding to the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Qwest Communications International, Inc. v. FCC, in which the court remanded the Commission's rules for providing high-cost universal service support to non-rural carriers.  The Commission tentatively concluded that it should not attempt wholesale reform of the non-rural high-cost mechanism at this time, but it sought comment on certain interim changes to address the courts concerns and changes in the marketplace.  Specifically, the Commission sought comment on what changes should be made to the Commissions rules regarding the rate comparability review and certification process, whether the Commission should define reasonably comparable rural and urban rates in terms of rates for bundled local and long distance services, and whether the Commission should require carriers to certify that they offer bundled local and long distance services at reasonably comparable rural and urban rates.]]></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 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 January 29, 2002, the Commission released an Order on Reconsideration (FCC 02-11) 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 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.  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, 20 FCC Rcd 14853 (2005).  Appropriate Framework for Broadband Access to the Internet Over Wireline Facilities; Universal Service Obligations of Broadband Providers, CC Docket No. 02-33.  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.

The January 30, 1998 FNPRM included a proposal to streamline the number of reporting categories for service quality reports. Although this FNPRM 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>Access Charge Reform and Universal Service Reform</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 11, 2001, the Commission adopted an Order reforming the interstate access charge and universal service support system for rate-of-return incumbent carriers.  The Order adopts three principal reforms.  First, the Order modifies the interstate access rate structure for small carriers to align it more closely with the manner in which costs are incurred.  Second, the Order removes implicit support for universal service from the rate structure and replaces it with explicit, portable support.  Third, the Order permits small carriers to continue to set rates based on the authorized rate of return of 11.25 percent. The Order became effective on January 1, 2002, and the support mechanism established by the Order was implemented beginning July 1, 2002.

The Commission also adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) seeking additional comment on proposals for incentive regulation, increased pricing flexibility for rate-of-return carriers, and proposed changes to the Commission's "all-or-nothing" rule.  Comments on the FNPRM were due on February 14, 2002, and reply comments on March 18, 2002.

On February 12, 2004, the Commission adopted a Second Report and Order resolving several issues on which the Commission sought comment in the FNPRM. First, the Commission modified the "all-or-nothing" rule to permit rate-of-return carriers to bring recently acquired price cap lines back to rate-of-return regulation. Second, the Commission granted rate-of-return carriers the authority immediately to provide geographically deaveraged transport and special access rates, subject to certain limitations. Third, the Commission merged Long Term Support (LTS) with Interstate Common Line Support (ICLS).

The Commission also adopted a Second FNPRM seeking comment on two specific plans that propose establishing optional alternative regulation mechanisms for rate-of-return carriers. In conjunction with the consideration of those alternative regulation proposals, the Commission sought comment on modification that would permit a rate-of-return carrier to adopt an alternative regulation plan for some study areas, while retaining rate-of-return regulation for other of its study areas. Comments on the Second FNPRM were due on April 23, 2004, and May 10, 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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 1,000, rather than 10,000, 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 3 years. The Commission also established a 5-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 16, 2005, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that public information collections set forth in the First Report and Order were being submitted for review to the office of management and budget.

On July 27, 2005, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that the information collection requirements adopted in the First Report and Order were approved in OMB No. 3060-1085 and would become effective on July 29, 2005.

On 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).

On August 6, 2007, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice that it had extended Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) regulations to interconnected VoIP providers and extended certain disability access requirements to interconnected VoIP providers and to manufacturers of specially designed equipment used to provide such service (72 FR 43546).

On May 15, 2008, the Commission's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) published in the Federal Register notice that it had granted interconnected VoIP providers an extension of time to route 711-dialed calls to an appropriate telecommunications relay service (TRS) center in certain circumstances (73 FR 28057).  On July 29, 2009, CGB published notice in the Federal Register that it was granting another extension.  (74FR 37624)

On August 7, 2009, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register that it had amended its  rules so that providers of interconnected VoIP service must comply with the same discontinuance rules as domestic non-dominant telecommunications carriers.  (74 FR 39551)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consumer Protection in the Broadband Era</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 authority 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 authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has established a Pilot Program under the Universal Service Fund rural health care mechanism, which will fund up to 85 percent of the cost of building statewide and regional broadband networks connecting not-for-profit and public health care providers, and connecting these networks to Internet2 or National Lamda Rail, as well as to the public Internet.  In November 2007, the Commission selected 69 entities (now 62 due to mergers) to participate in the Pilot Program.  In February 2010, the Commission's Wireline Competition Bureau extended by one year, to June 30, 2011, the deadline for participants to select a vendor and request funding commitments under the Pilot Program.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Jurisdictional Separations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.  In 2009, the Commission adopted a Report and Order extending the separations process an additional year to June 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the Commission imposed two information collections as conditions of substantial regulatory relief granted to the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs), including their independent incumbent local exchange carrier affiliates.  The first information collection requires the BOCs, including their independent incumbent local exchange carrier (incumbent LEC) affiliates, to report special access performance metrics on a quarterly basis.  The second information collection requires the BOCs, and their independent incumbent LEC affiliates, to provide their residential customers with the total number of long distance telecommunications service minutes they use each month.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition to Establish Procedural Requirements to Govern Proceedings for Forbearance Under Section 10 of the Communications Act of 1934, as Amended (WC Docket No.07-267)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Report and Order implements procedural rules governing petitions for forbearance filed pursuant to section 10 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.  Pursuant to section 10, the Commission shall forbear from applying any statutory provision or regulation if it determines that:  (1) Enforcement of the regulation is not necessary to ensure that the telecommunications carriers charges, practices, classifications, or regulations are just, reasonable, and not unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory; (2) enforcement of the regulation is not necessary to protect consumers; and (3) forbearance from applying such provision or regulation is consistent with the public interest.  In determining whether forbearance is consistent with the public interest, the Commission also must consider whether forbearance from enforcing the provision or regulation will promote competitive market conditions.  The Commission must act on forbearance petitions within one year; if the Commission fails to act the petition is deemed granted.  In order to act within 1 year, and to present a stable petition for comment, this Order requires that forbearance petitions must be complete as filed.  This rule requires forbearance petitioners to state with specificity all relevant provisions, rules, carriers, services, geographic areas, and other factors; to apply each statutory criterion to each rule; to identify needed data that the petitioner lacks; to meet routine filing requirements at 47 C.F.R §1.49; and to send the petition to forbearance@fcc.gov, together with supporting data (including market data) and any supporting statements. The Order further clarifies that whenever a petitioner files a petition for forbearance, the petitioner bears the burden of proof with respect to establishing that the statutory criteria for granting forbearance are met.  The Order adopts procedures to ensure that forbearance petitions are addressed in a manner that is actively managed, transparent, and fair.  Notable among these are rules restricting ex parte communications 14 days before the deadline for Commission action, and limiting unauthorized withdrawals of forbearance petitions after the reply comment date plus 10 business days.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Local Number Portability Porting Interval and Validation Requirements (WC Docket No 07-244)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2007, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in WC Docket No. 07-244.  The Notice sought comment on whether the Commission should adopt rules specifying the length of the porting intervals or other details of the porting process.  It also tentatively concluded that the Commission should adopt rules reducing the porting interval for wireline-to-wireline and intermodal simple port requests, specifically, to a 48-hour porting interval.  

In the Local Number Portability Porting Interval and Validation Requirements First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, released on May 13, 2009, the Commission reduced the porting interval for simple wireline and simple intermodal port requests, requiring all entities subject to its local number portability (LNP) rules to complete simple wireline-to-wireline and simple intermodal port requests within one business day.  In a related Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM), the Commission sought comment on what further steps, if any, the Commission should take to improve the process of changing providers.]]></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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, the Board, the FDIC, and the OTS (collectively, the Agencies) issued this notice of proposed rulemaking that would revise our rules implementing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).  The proposed rule would incorporate into our rules recently adopted statutory language that requires the Agencies, when assessing an institutions record of meeting community credit needs, to consider, as a factor, low-cost education loans provided by the financial institution to low-income borrowers.  The proposal also would incorporate into our rules statutory language that allows the Agencies, when assessing an institutions record, to consider as a factor capital investment, loan participation, and other ventures undertaken by nonminority-owned and nonwomen-owned financial institutions in cooperation with minority- and women-owned financial institutions and low-income credit unions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defining Safe Harbor Protection for Treatment by the FDIC as Conservator or Receiver of Financial Assets Transferred by an Insured Depository Institution</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is amending its regulation codified at 12 CFR section 360.6, Defining Safe Harbor Protection for Treatment By The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation As Conservator Or Receiver Of Financial Assets Transferred In Connection With A Securitization Or Participation.  The amendment adds a new subparagraph (b)(2) in order to continue for a limited time the safe harbor provision of section 360.6(b) for participations or securitizations that would be affected by recent changes to generally accepted accounting principles.  In effect, the Interim Rule grandfathers all participations and securitizations for which financial assets were transferred or, for revolving securitization trusts, for which securities were issued prior to March 31, 2010 so long as those participations or securitizations complied with the preexisting section 360.6 under generally accepted accounting principles in effect prior to November 15, 2009.  The transitional safe harbor will apply irrespective of whether or not the participation or securitization satisfies all of the conditions for sale accounting treatment under generally accepted accounting principles as effective for reporting periods after November 15, 2009.  

The FDIC is intending to publish in December 2009, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend section 360.6 further regarding the treatment of participations and securitizations issued after March 31, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC is seeking comment on ways that the FDICs risk-based deposit insurance assessment system (risk-based assessment system) could be changed to account for the risks posed by certain employee compensation programs. Section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. 1817) sets forth the risk-based assessment authorities underlying the FDICs deposit insurance system, and the parameters of the FDICs rules are set forth at 12 CFR part 327.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Reporting, Analysis and Contingent Resolution Plans at Certain Large Insured Depository Institutions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC is seeking comment on a proposed rule that would require certain identified insured depository institutions (IDIs) that are subsidiaries of large and complex financial parent companies to submit to the FDIC analysis, information, and contingent resolution plans that address and demonstrate the IDIs ability to be separated from its parent structure, and to be wound down or resolved in an orderly fashion.  The IDIs plan would include a gap analysis that would identify impediments to the orderly stand-alone resolution of the IDI, and identify reasonable steps that are or will be taken to eliminate or mitigate such impediments.  The contingent resolution plan, gap analysis, and mitigation efforts are intended to enable the FDIC to develop a reasonable strategy, plan or options for the orderly resolution of the institution.  The proposal would apply only to IDIs with greater than $10 billion in total assets that are owned or controlled by parent companies with more than $100 billion in total assets.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) proposed revisions to the market risk capital rule to enhance its risk sensitivity and introduce requirements for public disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information about the market risk of a bank or bank holding company. The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) currently does not apply a market risk capital rule to savings associations and is proposing in this notice a market risk capital rule for savings associations. The proposed rules for each agency are substantively identical.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act), enacted on July 21, 2010, requires Federal agencies to review their regulations that (1) require an assessment of the credit-worthiness of a security or money market instrument and (2) contain references to or requirements regarding credit ratings. In addition, the agencies are required to remove such requirements that refer to or rely upon credit ratings, and to substitute in their place uniform standards of credit-worthiness. The ANPRM seeks comment on alternative standards of credit-worthiness that may be used for risk-based capital requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Reinvestment Act; Interagency Questions and Answers Regarding Community Reinvestment</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Industrial Banks Subsidiaries of Financial Companies</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 solely 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the Agencies) propose 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 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>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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration of Mortgage Loan Originators
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, Board, FDIC, OTS, FCA, and NCUA (collectively, the Agencies) proposed amendments to their rules to implement the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage
Licensing Act (the S.A.F.E. Act).  The S.A.F.E. Act requires an employee of a bank, savings association, credit union or other depository institution and their subsidiaries regulated by a Federal banking agency or an employee of an institution regulated by the FCA (collectively, Agency-regulated institutions) who acts as a residential mortgage loan originator to register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (Registry), obtain a unique identifier, and maintain this registration. This proposal implements these requirements. It also provides that Agency-regulated institutions must require their employees who act as residential mortgage loan originators to comply with the S.A.F.E. Acts requirements to register and obtain a unique identifier and must adopt and follow written policies and procedures designed to assure compliance with these requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the agencies) are amending their general risk-based and advanced risk-based capital adequacy frameworks by adopting a final rule that eliminates the exclusion of certain consolidated asset-backed commercial paper programs from risk-weighted assets; provides for an optional two-quarter implementation delay followed by an optional two-quarter partial implementation of the effect on risk-weighted assets that will result from changes to generally accepted accounting principles; provides an optional two-quarter delay, followed by an option two-quarter phase-in, of the application of the agencies' regulatory limit on the inclusion of the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) in tier 2 capital for the portion of the ALL associated with the assets a banking organization consolidates as a result of changes to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and provides a reservation of authority to permit the agencies to require a banking organization to treat entitles that are not consolidated under accounting standards as if they were consolidated for risk-based capital purposes, commensurate with the risk relationship of the banking organization to the structure.  The delay and subsequent phase-in periods of the implementation will apply only to the agencies' risk-based capital requirements, not the leverage ratio requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. section 1817(b), the FDIC is amending 12 CFR part 327 to require insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of  2010, 2011, and 2012.  The prepaid assessment for these periods was collected on December 30, 2009, along with each institution's regular quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessment for the third quarter of 2009.  For the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, the prepaid  assessment rate would be based on each institution's total base assessment rate for the third quarter of 2009, modified to assume that the assessment rate in effect for the institution on September 30, 2009, had been in effect for the entire third quarter of 2009.  The prepaid assessment rate for 2011 and 2012 would be equal to that institution's modified third quarter 2009 total base assessment rate plus 3 basis points.  Each institution's prepaid assessment base would be calculated using its third quarter 2009 assessment base, adjusted quarterly for an estimated 5 percent annual growth rate in the assessment base through the end of 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Reinvestment Act Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, the Board, the FDIC, and the OTS (collectively, the Agencies) are issuing this proposed rule to revise provisions of our rules implementing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).  The rule proposes to revise the term community development to include loans, investments, and services by financial institutions that support, enable, or facilitate projects or activities that meet the criteria described in Section 2301(c)(3) of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) and are conducted in designated target areas identified in plans approved  by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, established pursuant to the HERA and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.  The rule would provide favorable CRA consideration to such activities that, pursuant to the requirements of the program, benefit low-, moderate-, and middle-income individuals and geographies in designated target areas.  Such consideration would include covered activities within an institutions assessment area(s) and outside of its assessment area(s), as long as the institution has adequately addressed the community development needs of its assessment area(s).  Favorable consideration under the new rule would only be available until two years after the last date appropriated funds for the program are required to be spent by the grantees.   The Agencies will provide reasonable advance notice to institutions in the Federal Register regarding termination of the rule once a date certain has been identified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission revised the contract reporting requirements for those natural gas pipelines that fall under the Commission's jurisdiction pursuant to section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act or section 1(c) of the Natural Gas Act. The Commission also revised section 284.126(b) and replaced Form No. 549 - Intrastate Pipeline Annual Transportation Report with the new Form No. 549D - Quarterly Transportation and Storage Report for Intrastate Natural Gas and Hinshaw Pipelines.  The Rule made changes so as to (1) increase the reporting frequency from annual to quarterly, (2) include certain additional types of information and cover storage transactions as well as transportation transactions, (3) establish a procedure for the Form No. 549D reports to be filed in uniform electronic format and posted on the Commission's web site and, (4) hold those reports that must be public and may not be filed with information redacted as privileged.  The Commission modified its policy concerning periodic reviews of the rates charged by section 311 and Hinshaw pipelines to extend the cycle for such reviews from 3 years to 5 years, (Docket No. RM09-2-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission approved the Transmission Relay Loadability Reliability Standard (PRC-023-1), developed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). Reliability Standard PRC-023-1 requires transmission owners, generator owners, and distribution providers to set load-responsive phase protection relays according to specific criteria in order to ensure that the relays reliability detect and protect the electric network from all fault conditions, but do not limit transmission loadability or interfere with system operators' ability to protect system reliability.

        <RULE_TITLE>Demand Response Compensation in Organized Wholesale Energy Markets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission issued a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) and Notice of Technical Conference to provide additional opportunity for comment on issues related to the March 18, 2010 NOPR, 75 FR 15,362 (March 29, 2010), regarding the appropriate compensation to be paid to demand response resources in organized wholesale electric markets administered by Independent System Operators or Regional Transmission Organizations.  The Commission proposed an approach for compensating demand response resources in order to improve the competitiveness of organized wholesale energy markets and thus ensure just and reasonable wholesale rates.  The Supplemental NOPR seeks comment on whether the Commission should adopt requirements related to two issues addressed in comments: (1) If the Commission were to adopt a net benefits test for determining when to compensate demand response providers, what, if any, requirements should apply to the methods for determining net benefits; and (2) what, if any, requirements should apply to how the costs of demand response are allocated.  The Commission also invites all interested persons to submit comments in response to the issues discussed in the Supplemental NOPR, (Docket No. RM10-17-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed to amend the transmission planning and cost allocation requirements established in Order No. 890 to ensure that Commission-jurisdictional services are provided on a basis that is just, and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential.  The proposed rule would (1) provide that local and regional transmission planning processes account for transmission needs driven by public policy requirements established by state or federal laws or regulations; (2) improve coordination between neighboring transmission planning regions with respect to interregional facilities; (3) remove from Commission-approved tariffs or agreements a right of first refusal created by those documents that provides an incumbent transmission provider with an undue advantage over a nonincumbent transmission developer; and (4) establish a closer link between transmission planning processes and cost allocation and would require cost allocation methods for intraregional and interregional transmission facilities to satisfy newly established cost allocation principles, (Docket No. RM10-23-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposed to approve Reliability Standards PER-005-1 (System Personnel Training) and PER-004-2 (Reliability Coordination - Staffing) submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) certified by the Commission.  Also pursuant to section 215(d)(5) of the FPA, and section 39.5(f) of the Commission's regulations the Commission proposes to direct the ERO to develop modifications to proposed Reliability Standard PER-005-1 to address certain issues identified by the Commission.  The proposed Reliability Standards require reliability coordinators, balancing authorities, and transmission operators to establish a training program for their system operators, verify each of their system operator's capability to perform tasks and provide emergency operations training to every system operator, (Docket No. RM09-25-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Form, Procedures, and Criteria for Certification of Qualifying Facility Status for a Small Power Production or Cogeneration Facility</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission revised its regulations, which prior to the Final Rule provided the FERC Form No. 556, that is used in certification of qualifying status for an existing or a proposed small power production or cogeneration facility. The adopted revisions remove the contents of the Form No. 556 from the regulations, and, in their place, provide that an applicant seeking to certify qualifying facility (QF) status of a small power production or cogeneration facility must complete, and electronically file, the Form No. 556 that is in effect at the time of filing.  The Commission reformatted the Form No. 556 to clarify the content of the form and to take advantage of newer technologies that will reduce both the filing burden for applicants and the processing burden for the Commission.  The Commission also adopted an exemption, for generating facilities with net power production capacities of 1 MW or less, from the requirement that a generating facility, to be a QF, file either a notice of self-certification or an application for Commission certification, and codified the Commission's authority to waive the QF certification requirement for good cause.  Finally, the Commission clarified and simplified certain sections of the regulations relating to certifying QF status.  (Docket No. RM09-23-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Instant Final Rule Transferring Certain Enforcement Hotline Matters to the Dispute Resolution Service</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission revised its regulations to substitute the Commission's Dispute Resolution Service (DRS) for the Commission's Enforcement Hotline as the contact for handling dispute-related calls pertaining to the construction and operation of jurisdictional infrastructure projects, effective May 1, 2010.  The Commission's regulations require that natural gas pipeline companies provide contact information for the Enforcement Hotline when providing notice to affected landowners on a blanket certificate project under the Natural Gas Act. In practice, the Enforcement Hotline also attempts to resolve disputes between individuals and natural gas pipeline companies on all certified construction projects under the Natural Gas Act.  The Enforcement Hotline also receives calls pertaining to hydroelectric projects regulated under the Federal Power Act.  The Commission implemented this Final Rule because the Office of Enforcement's priorities currently are to focus on matters involving: fraud and market manipulation; serious violations of the reliability standards; anticompetitive conduct; and conduct that threatens the transparency of regulated markets, (Docket No. RM10-21-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Housing and Economy Recovery Act of 2008 amended section 1318(e) of the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 to provide additional authorities for FHFA in addressing certain compensation and benefits, specifically golden parachute payments and indemnification payments. This amendment added a new paragraph (e)(2) to section 1318 addressing regulation and prohibition of these benefits. On September 16, 2008, FHFA issued an interim final rule with request for comments addressing golden parachute payments; then subsequently on November 14, 2008, issued a proposed amendment to the interim final rule that addressed indemnification payments.

On January 29, 2009, FHFA issued a final rule on golden parachute payments; then subsequently on June 29, 2009, issued a proposed rule amending the final rule. Because FHFA believed it is useful to provide an opportunity to the public to read and comment on both the proposed golden parachute payments and indemnification payments amendments in context, the proposed rule of June 29, 2009, addressed in more detail prohibited and permissible golden parachute payments and re-proposed the indemnification payments amendments that were first proposed on November 14, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation would implement provisions in the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 that expand the types of collateral to secure advances that the Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) can accept from community financial institution (CFI) members to include loans for community development and that allow the Banks to make long-term advances to CFI members for purposes of financing community development.  The regulation also would make other changes to the advances regulation including incorporating a long-standing position that any secured lending by a Bank to a member is deemed to be and advance subject to the requirements governing advances and extend that position to included affiliates of members.  It would also make technical changes by relocating the advances and new business activity regulations to the Federal Housing Finance Agency regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation implements statutory changes and makes appropriate conforming amendments to the existing Affordable Housing Program (AHP) regulation administered by each of the Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks). The regulation authorizes the Banks, until July 30, 2010, to use AHP subsidies through the homeownership set-aside program to refinance certain qualifying mortgage loans. Such loans must be secured by a first mortgage on a primary residence of any family having an income at or below 80 percent of the median income for the area. The amended regulation broadens the scope of the refinancing program authority and provides the Banks greater flexibility in implementing the program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2010 to 2011 Enterprise Affordable Housing Goals; Enterprise Book-Entry Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule on the 2010-2011 housing goals implements Section 1128(b) of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), which amended the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (Safety and Soundness Act) to provide for the establishment, monitoring, and enforcement of new housing goals for the Enterprises.  Section 1331 of the Safety and Soundness Act provided FHFA with authority to establish three single-family purchase money mortgage goals, a single-family refinance mortgage goal and a multifamily special affordable housing goal.  The final rule also establishes such goals for 2010 and 2011, and revises and updates the rules for counting mortgages for purposes of the housing goals to ensure clarity and consistency with the new goals.  The final rule also establishes in 12 CFR part 1282 provisions regarding reporting requirements and in 12 CFR part 1249 provisions regarding book-entry accounting now found in 24 CFR part 81.  Pursuant to section 1302 of HERA (12 U.S.C. 4603 ), to the extent FHFA is adopting provisions from part 81 in parts 1282 and 1249, those provisions in part 81 will no longer be in effect.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Port Restrictions and Requirements in the United States/Japan Trade (Docket No. 96-20)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposed to impose fees on liner vessels operated by Japanese carriers calling at U.S. ports, in response to apparent unfavorable conditions in the foreign oceanborne trade between the United States and Japan. The effect of the rule was to adjust or meet unfavorable conditions caused by Japanese port restrictions and requirements by imposing countervailing burdens on Japanese carriers. A final rule was issued, but its effective date was suspended.  The Commission subsequently determined to remove that suspended final rule, as market developments had overtaken its findings.  Beginning August 26, 1999, and every 180 days thereafter, the FMC has required U.S. and Japanese ocean common carriers in the U.S.-Japan trade to provide reports addressing the status of efforts to reform conditions unfavorable to shipping in the U.S.-Japan trade. Areas for reporting included reform of the "prior consultation" system for pre-approving carriers' service changes in Japan; entry of non-Japanese carriers into Japan's harbor services market; and Government of Japan proposals for broader harbor services deregulation. Effective November 7, 2001, and every 180 days thereafter, the reporting requirements have been revised to include effects of recent changes in Japanese laws and ordinances; continued application of the "prior consultation" system for pre-approving carriers' service changes in Japan; and entry of new entities into Japan's harbor services market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

The agencies must modify their regulations to remove any reference to, or requirements of reliance on, credit ratings in such regulations and substitute in their place other standards of creditworthiness that the Agencies determine to be appropriate for such regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 204 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act added a new subsection (t) to section 18 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act requiring the Board, in consultation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (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>

        <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 proposal remains under consideration in light of comments received in response to the 2008 NPR, recent changes to the Basel Accord to address aspects for the securitization framework, and reconsideration of the appropriate scope for proposed framework.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed amendments to Regulation Z, Truth in Lending, would implement section 1461 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Section 1461 amends TILA to provide a separate, higher threshold for determining coverage of the Boards escrow requirement applicable to higher-priced mortgage loans, for loans that exceed the maximum principal balance eligible for sale to Freddie Mac.

The proposed rulemaking is to implement a statutory revision to the loan-pricing threshold for determining coverage of the Board's escrow requirement applicable to higher-priced mortgage loans for "jumbo" loans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board proposes to amend Regulation Z, and the staff commentary to the regulation, as part of a comprehensive review of TILAs rules for home-secured credit. This proposal would revise the rules for the consumers right to rescind certain open-end and closed-end loans secured by the consumers principal dwelling. In addition, the proposal contains revisions to the rules for determining when a modification of an existing closed-end mortgage loans secured by real property or a dwelling is a new transaction requiring new disclosures. The proposal would amend the rules for determining whether a closed-end loan secured by the consumers principal dwelling is a higher-priced mortgage loan subject to the special protections in section 226.35. The proposal would provide consumers with a right to a refund of fees imposed during the three business days following the consumers receipt of early disclosures for closed-end loans secured by real property or a dwelling.

The proposal also would amend the disclosure rules for open- and closed-end reverse mortgages. In addition, the proposal would prohibit certain unfair acts or practices for reverse mortgages. A creditor would be prohibited from conditioning a reverse mortgage on the consumers purchase of another financial or insurance product such as an annuity, and, a creditor could not extend a reverse mortgage unless the consumer has obtained homeownership counseling. The proposal also would amend the rules for reverse mortgage advertising.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation EElectronic Funds Transfers (Docket No. R-1377)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve Board (Board) published in the Federal Register on April 1, 2010, final regulations to implement the gift card provisions in Title IV of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (Credit Card Act), which amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.  Consistent with the statute, the final regulation would prohibit any person from imposing dormancy, inactivity, or service fees with respect to gift certificates, store gift cards, and general-use prepaid cards, unless certain conditions were satisfied.  These conditions were that: (1) There must be at least a one-year period of inactivity with respect to the certificate or card prior to the imposition of the fee; (2) not more than one fee per month; and (3) disclosures regarding dormancy, inactivity, or service fees are stated clearly and conspicuously on the certificate or card and given prior to purchase.

The final rule also would provide that a gift certificate, store gift card, or general-use prepaid card may not be sold or issued unless the expiration date of the funds underlying the certificate or card is no less than five years after the date of issuance (in the case of a gift certificate) or five years after the date of last load of funds (in the case of a store gift card or general-use prepaid card). In addition, the final rule would exclude certain prepaid products from the definitions of gift certificate, store gift card, or general-use prepaid card, such as cards, codes, or other devices that are issued in connection with a loyalty, award, or promotional program, or that are reloadable and not marketed or labeled as a gift card or gift certificate.

The Board also published in the Federal Register on August 17, 2010, an interim final rule to implement legislation recently passed by Congress to extend the effective date of certain gift card disclosure provisions in Title IV of the Credit Card Act.  With respect to gift certificates, store gift cards, and general-use prepaid cards produced prior to April 1, 2020, the interim final rule delays the effective date of the disclosure requirements until January 31, 2011, provided that several specified conditions are met.

The comment period on the interim final rule closes on September 16, 2010.  A final rule will be issued shortly thereafter.]]></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[The Board proposes changes to the format, timing, and content requirements for the four main types of HELOC disclosures required by Regulation Z: disclosures at application; disclosures at account opening; periodic statements; and change-in-terms notices.  The Board proposes to replace disclosures required at the time that a consumer applies for a HELOC with a one-page Board-published summary of basic information and risks regarding HELOCs.

The Board also proposes to move the timing of disclosures regarding a creditor's HELOC plan from the time of application to within three business days after application and to require the disclosures to include significant transaction-specific rates and terms.  The Board also proposes to provide additional guidance on when a creditor may temporarily suspend advances on a HELOC or reduce the credit limit, and what a creditor's obligations are concerning reinstating such accounts.  In addition, the proposal would limit the ability of a creditor to terminate a HELOC for payment-related reasons; a creditor could do so only if the consumer failed to make a required minimum payment more than 30 days after the due date for that payment.  Changes to disclosure requirements related to suspension of HELOC advances, reduction of the credit limit, and account terminations are also proposed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision (collectively, the Agencies) issued this notice of proposed rulemaking to revise our rules implementing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The proposed rule would incorporate into our rules recently adopted statutory language that requires the Agencies when assessing an institution's record of meeting community needs, to consider as a factor, low-cost education loans provided by the financial institution to low-income borrowers.  The proposal also would incorporate into our rules statutory language that allows the Agencies when assessing an institution's record, to consider as a factor, capital investment, loan participation, and other ventures undertaken by non minority-owned and non women-owned financial institutions in cooperation with minority and women-owned institutions and low-income credit unions.

The final rule differs from the proposed rule by not providing CRA consideration for originations of federal education loans to conform to legislation passed after the proposed rule was issued, under which financial institutions will no longer originate federal education loans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation BBProposed Rule to Revise CRA Regulations to Support Activities Under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (Docket No. R-1387)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), together with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (collectively, the Agencies), on June 24, 2010, published a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise provisions of the Agencies' respective regulations implementing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), 12 USC 2901 et seq. (75 FR 36016).  Specifically, the Agencies proposed to revise the definition of the term "community development" under their respective implementing regulations to include loans, investments, and services that support, enable, or facilitate projects or activities that meet the criteria described in section 2301(c)(3) of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) and are conducted in designated target areas identified in plans approved by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) established pursuant to HERA. The Agencies proposed to provide favorable CRA consideration to such activities that, pursuant to the requirements of the NSP, benefit low-, moderate-, and middle-income individuals and geographies in designated target areas.  Such consideration would include covered activities within an institutions assessment area(s) and outside of its assessment area(s), as long as the institution adequately has addressed the community development needs of its assessment areas.  As proposed, favorable consideration would be available only for activities conducted within two years after the last date appropriated funds for the program are required to be spent by NSP grantees.  The comment period for the proposed rulemaking ended on July 26, 2010.  The Board expects final action by the Agencies to occur in October 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Truth in Lending Act (Docket Number: R-1366)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In August 2009 the Board issued a proposed rule amending Regulation Z's disclosures for closed-end mortgages.  The proposed rule would make comprehensive changes to the disclosures consumers receive before and after application for a closed-end mortgage loan.  The proposed disclosures included, among other things, disclosures of information about interest rates and payment changes in the form of a table.  This disclosure would implement changes to the Truth in Lending Act made by the Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act (the MDIA).  The Board also proposed to prohibit certain payments to mortgage loan originators (mortgage brokers and loan officers) that are based on the loan's terms or conditions, and prohibit steering consumers to transactions that are not in their interest to increase compensation received.

In August 2010, the Board finalized two elements of the August 2009 proposed rule.  First, the Board issued an interim final rule requiring creditors to disclose certain summary information about interest rates and payment changes in the form of a table for closed-end mortgage loans secured by a real property or dwelling.  The Board took this action to ensure that the creditors have guidance on how to make the interest rate and payment disclosure required by MDIA before the  statutory effective date of January 30, 2011.  The Board's interim final rule adopts the August 2009 proposed rule regarding the interest rate and payment summary tables substantially as proposed.  Public comments on the interim final rule are due 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.

Second, the Board adopted the proposed rule regarding originator compensation, substantially as proposed.  The final rule also prohibits payments to mortgage originators that are based on the loan's terms or conditions.  The final rule also prohibits a mortgage originator from steering consumers to transactions that are not in their interest to increase the originator's compensation.  The final rule applies to closed-end mortgage loans secured by a dwelling, and is substantially similar to the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 20, 2009, the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act was enacted, which amended the Truth in Lending Act to establish a new requirement for notifying consumers of the sale or transfer of their mortgage loan.  The statutory amendment became effective immediately upon enactment on November 20, 2009.  The Board issued an interim final rule that was effective immediately so that the parties subject to the new statutory requirement would have guidance on how to comply.  To allow time for necessary operational changes, compliance with the interim final rule was optional for 60 days from the date of publication; during that period covered persons continued to be subject to the statutory requirements.

On August 16, 2010, the Board issued a final rule that is substantially similar to the proposed rule.  Covered persons may comply with the interim rule or the final rule until April 1, 2011, which is the mandatory compliance date for the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation A--Extensions of Credit by Federal Reserve Banks Docket No. R-1371</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 8, 2009, a notice of proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register for public comment (74 FR 51806). The Board is publishing for public comment a proposed amendment to Regulation A that would provide a process by which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may determine the eligibility of credit rating agencies and the ratings they issue for use in the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, which is maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and for which the Board has expressly set a particular credit rating requirement for collateral offered by the borrower. The proposed rule would not apply to discount window lending or other extensions of credit provided by the Federal Reserve System.  In addition, the rule would only apply to asset-backed securities that are not backed by commercial real estate. This proposed amendment is designed to provide the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with a consistent framework for determining the eligibility of ratings issued by individual credit rating agencies when used in conjunction with a separate asset-level risk assessment process.

The Board adopted the final rule in essentially the same form as the proposed rule, except for minor clarifying revisions (74 FR 65014).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation D--Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions Policy on Payment System Risk (Docket No. R-1381)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed amendments to Regulation D, Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions, would authorize the establishment of term deposits at Federal Reserve Banks.  Term deposits are intended to facilitate the conduct of monetary policy by providing a tool for managing the aggregate quantity of reserve balances.  Institutions eligible to receive earnings on their balances in accounts at Federal Reserve Banks ("eligible institutions") could hold term deposits and receive earnings at a rate that would not exceed the general level of short-term interest rates.  Term deposits would be separate and distinct from those maintained in an institution's master account at a Reserve Bank ("master account") as well as from those maintained in an excess balance account.  Term deposits would not satisfy required reserve balances or contractual clearing balances and would not be available to clear payments or to cover daylight or overnight overdrafts.  The proposal also would make minor amendments to the posting rules for intraday debits and credits to master accounts as set forth in the Board's Policy on Payment System Risk to address transactions associated with term deposits.

Board adopted final rule substatially as proposed on May 5, 2010 (75 FR 23384).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 20, 2009, a notice of proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register for public comment (74 FR 60986). The Board is proposing to amend Regulation E, which implements the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and the official staff commentary to the regulation, which interprets the requirements of Regulation E. The proposal restricts a persons ability to impose dormancy, inactivity, or service fees for certain prepaid products, primarily gift cards. In addition, the proposal generally prohibits the sale or issuance of such products if they have an expiration date of less than  five years. The proposed amendments implement statutory requirements set forth in the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 that are effective on August 22, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation H--Registration of Mortgage Loan Originators (Safe Act) (Docket No. R-1357)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Thrift Supervision, Farm Credit Association, and National Credit Union Administration (collectively, the Agencies) finalized amendments to their rules to implement the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (The SAFE Act).  The SAFE Act requires an employee of a bank, savings association, credit union or other depository institution and their subsidiaries regulated by a Federal banking agency or an employee of an institution regulated by the FCA (collectively, Agency-regulated institutions) who acts as a residential mortgage loan originator to register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (Registry), obtain a unique identifier, and maintain this registration.  This final rule implements these requirements.  It also provides that Agency-regulated institutions must require their employees who act as residential mortgage loan originators to comply with the SAFE Act's requirements to register and obtain a unique identifier and must adopt and follow written policies and procedures designed to assure compliance with these requirements.

The final rule was finalized substantially as proposed, but differs from the proposed rule in the following ways: (1) The final rule clarifies that employees engaged solely in loan modifications as part of the institution's loss mitigation efforts would not be mortgage loan originators for purposes of the SAFE Act.  The Agencies had sought comment on this issue in the proposal. (2) The final rule provides an exception to registration requirements for employees who have acted as a mortgage loan originator with respect to a small number of mortgage loans.  In addition to the individual limit on mortgage loan originator activity, the Agencies had also proposed an aggregate limit. (3) The final rule has fewer data collection requirements for covered residential mortgage originators than the proposal.]]></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 are not expected to take further action on the October 2000 proposal because rulemaking authority will transfer to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, most likely in 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Truth in Lending Act (Docket No: R-1370)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 22, 2009, the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (Credit Card Act) was signed into law.  Public Law No. 111-24, 123 Stat. 1734 (2009).  The Credit Card Act primarily amended the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and created a number of new substantive protections and disclosure requirements for open-end (revolving) consumer credit plans.  The provisions of the Credit Card Act that the Board was required to implement under TILA became effective in three stages: August 20, 2009; February 22, 2010; and August 22, 2010.  On July 15, 2009, the Board issued an interim final rule amending Regulation Z (Truth in Lending), to implement provisions of the Credit Card Act that became effective on August 20, 2009, 74 FR 36077 (July 22, 2009)(Docket No. R-1364).  In October 2009, the Board published a proposed rule amending Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to finalize the July 2009 interim final rule and implement additional provisions of the Credit Card Act that became effective on February 22, 2010, 74 FR 54124.  In January 2010, the Board issued a final rule based on the October 2009 proposal (75 FR 7658).]]></ABSTRACT>

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 March 2, 2010, the Commission announced its current rule and guide review schedule. The Commission expects to issue its next notice about the current rule and guide review schedule during early 2011.]]></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 warranted 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 reopened comment period ended on June 15, 2009, and staff anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by during fall 2010.]]></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 the end of 2010.]]></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. At the request of several organizations, the comment period was reopened and extended to September 25, 2009. 74 FR 36972. Staff is reviewing comments as they are received and expects to prepare a recommendation for the Commission during the fall of 2010.]]></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 requested comments on the rule on May 14, 2009, as part of the Commission's systematic review of all current Commission rules and guides (74 FR 22720). 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; the effect on the rule of any technological, economic, or other industry changes; and whether the Rule should be extended to cover other types of negative option plans. The comment period closed on July 27, 2009. Staff received requests seeking to extend the comment period from several states, a county government agency, and an industry trade association; but the requests were too close to the end of the comment period to extend it. On August 7, 2009, the Commission granted these requests and reopened the comment period until October 13, 2009 (74 FR 40124).  Staff anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by December 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Preservation of Consumers&apos; Claims and Defenses (Holder-in-Due Course Rule)</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 2010, the Commission had planned to request comments on the rule as part of the Commission's systematic review of all current Commission rules and guides.  However, that review has been put on hold pending consultation with the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau within the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System by the enactment of the "Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act," Public Law No. 111-203, on July 21, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Telemarketing Sales Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Trade Commission proposes to amend the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR or Rule) to address the sale of debt relief services (74 FR 41988). The Commission seeks public comment on the proposed amendments, which would:  define the term "debt relief service;" ensure that, regardless of the medium through which such services are initially advertised, telemarketing transactions involving debt relief services would be subject to the TSR; mandate certain disclosures and prohibit misrepresentations in the telemarketing of debt relief services; and prohibit any entity from requesting or receiving payment for debt relief services until such services have been fully performed and documented to the consumer.  The comment period, as extended, closed on October 26, 2009. The Commission received hundreds of comments from the public. The Commission held a public forum on November 4, 2009, where Commission staff and interested parties discussed the proposed amendments and issues raised in the comments.  On July 29, 2010, the Commission announced rule amendments defining debt relief services, prohibiting debt relief providers from collecting fees until services have been provided, and requiring specific disclosures related to fundamental aspects of debt relief services (75 FR 48458).  The rule also extends the TSR's coverage to inbound calls and prohibits misrepresentations related to success rates and non-profit status.  With the exception of the advance fee ban, the rule's provisions were effective September 27, 2010.

On October 27, 2010, the Commission announced an enforcement policy for the TSR Debt Relief Services Rule: The Commission will defer enforcement of the new rule for tax debt relief services until further notice.  The enforcement policy states, however, that tax debt relief services must comply with the other portions of the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule during the enforcement deferral period.  Companies that sell other kinds of debt relief services over the telephone continue to be subject to enforcement of the TSR Debt Relief Service Rule, including the prohibition against charging fees before settling or reducing a consumer's credit car or other unsecured debt.

Separately, Commission staff are considering proposed amendments to the TSR concerning caller identification services and disclosure of the identity of the seller or telemarketer responsible for telemarketing calls.  Staff anticipates that the Commission will issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking during the first quarter of 2011.

Commission staff are also considering possible amendments to the TSR that would provide new or strengthen existing anti-fraud provisions, as well as make explicit certain other requirements in the TSR.  Staff anticipates that the Commission will issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking during the first quarter of 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) (1998), the Commission issued rules that prohibit unfair and deceptive acts and practices in connection with the collection and use of personal information from and about children under the age of 13 on the Internet. The rules, effective April 21, 2000, and most recently amended in 2006, require commercial websites, and online service providers (operators), with certain exceptions, to obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from or about children. An operator must make reasonable efforts, in light of available technology, to ensure that the person providing consent is the child's parent. 

On April 5, 2010, the Commission announced it was requesting comments on the rule, as part of the Commission's systematic review of all current Commission rules and guides. The Commission seeks comments on, among other things, the economic impact and benefits of this rule; possible conflict between the rule and State, local, or other Federal laws or regulations; and the effect on the rule of any technological, economic, or other industry changes. The comment period closed on July 12, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Retail Food Store Advertising and Marketing Practices </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission's Rule on Retail Food Store Advertising and Marketing Practices (the Unavailability Rule) states that it is a violation of section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act for retail stores of food, groceries, or other merchandise to advertise products for sale at a stated price if those stores do not have the advertised products in stock and readily available to customers during the effective period of the advertisement, unless the advertisement clearly discloses that supplies of the advertised products are limited or are available only at some outlets.  However, it is not a violation of the Rule if the advertised products were ordered in adequate time for delivery in quantities sufficient to meet reasonably anticipated demand; the food retailer offers a "raincheck" for the advertised products; the food retailer offers at the advertised price or at a comparable price reduction a similar product that is at least comparable in value to the advertised product; or the food retailer offers other compensation at least equal to the advertised value. The rule is intended to benefit consumers by ensuring that advertised items are available, that advertising-induced purchasing trips are not fruitless, and that store prices accurately reflect the prices appearing in the ads. As part of its ongoing systematic review of all Federal Trade Commission rules and guides, the Commission plans to request comments on, among other things, the economic impact and benefits of this Rule; possible conflict between the Rule and State, local, or other Federal laws or regulations; and the effect on the Rule of any technological, economic, or other industry changes. The Commission plans to request comments on this Rule during fall 2010.]]></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. Pending completion of the proceeding initiated with this notice, business opportunities presently covered by the requirements of the original Rule will remain covered, as set forth as part 437 of the final amended Rule. 72 FR 15444 (March 30, 2007)

Pending completion of the proceeding initiated with this notice, business opportunities presently covered by the requirements of the original Rule will remain covered, as set forth as part 437 of the final amended Rule.  72 FR 15444 (March 20, 2001).

The proposed rule addresses fraud in the offer and sale of business opportunity ventures by requiring business opportunity sellers to furnish specific presale 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).

The Commission held a day-long workshop on June 1, 2009, to explore proposed changes to the rule, including the effectiveness of the proposed one-page Business Opportunity Disclosure Form that sellers of business opportunities would be required to provide to prospective purchasers. The comment period closed on June 30, 2009. 

On October 28, 2010, the Commission released a staff report (the report can be found at http://ww.ftc.gove/opa/2010/10/businessopp.shtm) recommending that coverage of the Business Opportunity Rule be expanded to include work-at-home opportunities suck as envelope stuffing, medical billing, and product assembly, many of which have not been covered before.  FTC staff also recommends streamlining the discourses required by the Business Opportunity Rule so that companies or individuals selling business opportunities make important disclosures to consumers on a simple, easy-to-read document.  If adopted, the changes will make it less burdensome for legitimate sellers to comply with the Rule, while still protecting consumers from "widespread and persistent" business opportunity fraud.  Public comments on the staff report will be accepted until January 18, 2011.]]></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 changed with the baseline reporting figure of the size of transaction test under section 7A(a)(2)(B)(i) now $63.4 million, which was effective 30 days from publication in the Federal Register. (75 FR 3468).  On August 13, 2010, the Commission announced it was seeking public comments on proposed changes designed to streamline the HSR form and focus on the information most needed by the agencies in their initial merger review (75 FR 57110).  The proposal eliminates requests for unnecessary information.  The new form, however, would require additional information that is needed to help the FTC and DOJ during their initial review of transactions.  The comment period closed on October 18, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.  Many of these responsibilities will be transferred on July 21, 2011, to the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau within the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) under the recent Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203.

EFFECTIVE DATES

The FACT Act required that the FTC, together with 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.

Section 205 of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 requires the Commission to issue a rule to prevent deceptive marketing of "free credit reports." On October 7, 2009, the Commission issued an NPRM to amend its Free Credit Reports rule to require prominent disclosures in advertising for "free credit reports" and to address practices that interfere with consumers' ability to obtain file disclosures from consumer reporting agencies. 74 FR 52915. The comment period ended on December 7, 2009. On February 22, 2010, the Commission issued a final rule. The effective date of the Rule provisions was April 2, 2010, except for the wording of the disclosures for television and radio advertisements in sections 610.4(b)(1)(i) and (2) for which the effective date was September 1, 2010.

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. The agencies made technical revisions to the rule on May 14, 2009. 74 FR 22639. 

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 published final rules on July 1, 2009. 74 FR 31484. The rules were effective on July 1, 2010. On July 1, 2009, the agencies also issued an ANPRM seeking comments on whether to propose an addition to one of the guides that would delineate circumstances under which a furnisher would be expected to provide an account opening date, or any other types of information, to a consumer reporting agency to promote the integrity of the information. The comment period closed on August 31, 2009.  As noted above, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, PL 111-203, transfers further rulemaking responsibilities on July 21, 2011, to the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

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 issued final rules on January 15, 2010. 75 FR 2724. The Commission's regulations and guidelines will become effective January 1, 2011.

The FCRA requires the Commission to prescribe a model summary of consumers' rights under the FCRA and notices of responsibilities for users and furnishers of credit report information distributed by the credit reporting agencies.  The FTC originally issued model notices in 1997 and revisions in 2004 to reflect FACT Act changes.  On August 6, 2010, the Commission approved the issuance of proposed revisions to these models to reflect new rules that have been finalized under FACTA and to improve the clarity and usefulness of the documents.  75 FR 52655.  Staff anticipates that the Commission will publish final revised forms no later than February 2011.

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. At the request of members of Congress, the Commission has delayed enforcement of the Red Flags portion of the rule until January 1, 2011, for entities subject to enforcement by the Commission.  This delay in enforcement is limited to the Red Flags Rule and does not extend to the rule regarding address discrepancies applicable to users of consumer reports (16 CFR 641), or to the rule regarding changes of address applicable to card issuers (16 CFR 681.2). The FTC has launched a Web site at http://www.ftc.gov/redflagsrule, which includes "Fighting Fraud with the Red Flags Rule: A How-To Guide for Business," to help entities covered by 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." The FTC developed a compliance template (at www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/redflagsrule/RedFlags_forLowRiskBusinesses.pdf) to help businesses and organizations at low risk to identity theft design their own identity theft prevention program. 

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>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 (74 FR 9054). 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. The comment period closed on May 15, 2009. On February 26, 2010, the Commission announced it was seeking public comments on proposed amendments to the Rule. The most significant proposed change would explicitly add gasoline-ethanol blends containing between 10 and 70 percent ethanol to the list of fuels that must be rated, certified, and labeled. Comments must be received by May 21, 2010.  Staff anticipates the Commission will issue a final rule by the end of 2010.]]></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 (EISA) 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 40988).  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.  The Commission announced an NPRM on October 27, 2009, seeking comment about proposed labeling requirements for light bulbs (74 FR 57950 (Nov. 10, 2009)). The comment period ended on December 28, 2009. The EISA requires that the light bulb rulemaking be completed by June 2010.  On June 18, 2010, the Commission announced final amendments adopting a two-panel labeling format for light bulbs and brightness, energy cost, and other disclosure requirements, but provided for comments on certain limited issues (75 FR 41696).  The amendments are effective on August 18, 2010, and July 19, 2011.  Comments on certain issues for consideration in a subsequent rulemaking were due on September 20, 2010.

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 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. On March 11, 2010, the Commission issued an NPRM proposing to require energy guide labels on televisions to help consumers with their purchasing decisions (75 FR 11483). As part of this effort, the Commission scheduled a public meeting on.  On October 27, 2010, the Commission announced it was issuing a final rule that will require television manufacturers after May 10, 2011, to display Energy Guide labels that include information on estimated yearly energy cost and the cost range compared to similar models.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking Proceeding With Respect to Mortgage Loans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 626 of the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009 directed the Federal Trade Commission to initiate a rulemaking proceeding with respect to mortgage loans within 90 days after the date of enactment of that Act.  The Act also mandated that the rulemaking be in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code, and that any violation of a rule prescribed under this subsection shall be treated as a violation of a rule under section 18 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a) regarding unfair or deceptive acts or practices.

To implement the Act, the Commission has commenced a rulemaking proceeding in two parts. On June 1, 2009, the Commission issued an ANPRM, the Mortgage Acts and Practices Rulemaking (MAP), that would address activities that occur throughout the life cycle of a mortgage loan; i.e., practices with regard to mortgage loan advertising and marketing, origination, appraisals, and servicing (74 FR 26118). Another ANPRM, the Mortgage Assistance Relief Services Rulemaking (MARS), addresses the practices of entities (other than mortgage servicers) who offer assistance to consumers in dealing with owners or servicers of their loans to modify them or avoid foreclosure (74 FR 26130). The Commission sought public comment with regard to the unfair and deceptive acts and practices that should be prohibited or restricted pursuant to any rules adopted in this proceeding. The comment period for the Mortgage Acts and Practices Rulemaking closed on July 30, 2009.  The comment period for the Mortgage Assistance Relief Services Rulemaking closed on July 15, 2009. 

On February 4, 2010, the Commission announced an NPRM for MARS. The proposed MARS rule published for comment, among other things, would prohibit providers of these services from making false or misleading claims, mandate that providers disclose certain information about these services, bar the collection of advance fees for these services, prohibit persons from providing substantial assistance or support to an entity they know or consciously avoid knowing is engaged in a violation of these rules, and impose recordkeeping and compliance requirements.  The comment period closed on March 29, 2010. The Commission announced a MARS final rule on 11/19/2010.  All provisions of the rule except the advance-fee ban will become effective December 29, 2010. The advance-fee ban provisions will become effective January 31, 2011.

The Commission is instituting two separate rulemakings covering Mortgage Acts and Practices.  The Commission announced an NPRM for MAP-Advertising on September 30, 2010 (75 FR 60352).  The comment period ended on November 15, 2010 and plans to issue an NPRM for MAP-Servicing in early 2011.

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Financial Protection Act, Public Law 111-203, the Commission's rulemaking authority will be transferred to the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with the Federal Reserve on July 21, 2011, the transfer date established by the Department of the Treasury.]]></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; 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 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 </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 closed on June 5, 2009.  The Commission issued a final rule on June 4, 2010, effective July 6, 2010 (75 FR 31682).  The rule requires depository institutions without federal deposit insurance to disclose that information to consumers.  The rule also requires institutions without such insurance to disclose that they are not federally insured and that the government does not guarantee consumers will get their money back if the institution fails.  The disclosures must be made on account statements, in advertising, and inside branches at deposit windows.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations Under the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Earlier this year, the Commission terminated its regulatory review of the smokeless tobacco regulations, citing the enactment of the Family Smoking Prevention Act (75 FR 3665 (Jan. 22, 2010)).  The FTC regulations at 16 CFR 307, however, remained in place.

The Commission has now concluded that, in light of the recent amendments to the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 (or the Smokeless Tobacco Act), the regulations in 16 CFR 307 no longer serve any purpose and actually conflict with the new statutory provisions.  Indeed, retention of these regulations could generate confusion if some smokeless tobacco manufacturers and importers mistakenly believe that they reflect current legal requirements.

The Federal Trade Commission is now rescinding its smokeless tobacco regulations, 16 CFR 307.  The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, Public Law No. 111-31, transferred the FTC's authority for those regulations to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).  DHHS will now review and approve rotational warning plans for these products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to amend the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) by incorporating recommendations of the Governmentwide Relocation Advisory Board (GRAB) concerning calculation of reimbursements for taxes on relocation expenses.  In addition, this proposed rule alters the process for calculating reimbursements for taxes on extended temporary duty (TDY) benefits to correct errors and to align that process with the proposed changes to the relocation income tax process.

This regulation is excepted from the definition of "regulation" or "rule" under section 3(d)(3) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993 and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of that Executive Order.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule is a result of the GSA Acquisition Manual (GSAM) rewrite initiative undertaken by GSA to revise the GSAM to maintain consistency with the FAR and implement streamlined and innovative acquisition procedures that contractors, offerors, and GSA contracting personnel can utilize when entering into and administering contractual relationships.

A cross-reference is added to the FPMR to direct readers to the coverage in the FMR. The FMR coverage is written in plain language to provide agencies with updated regulatory material that is easy to read and understand.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) by adding terms and definitions for Committed Relationship, Dependent, and Domestic partner, and by revising the definition of Immediate family to include Domestic partner and children, dependent parents, and dependent brothers and sisters of the "Domestic partner" as a named member of the employees household. This interim rule also adds references to domestic partners and committed relationships, where applicable, in the FTR.

This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was subject to review under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993.  This interim rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.]]></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 amending 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) by updating statutory references in a number of sections, by providing additional guidance for determining distance measurements when traveling by privately owned aircraft, by clarifying provisions regarding the use of personally owned vehicles (POV) for official travel, by updating the addresses to which per diem review requests should be sent, and by changing the method by which agencies must report the use of Government aircraft to carry senior Federal officials and non-Federal travelers. 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>National Industrial Security Program Directive No. 1</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed amendment to Directive No. 1 provides guidance to agencies on release of classified information (referred to as proscribed information) to contractors that are (a) owned or under the control of a foreign interest and (b) have had the foreign ownership or control mitigated by an arrangement known as a Special Security Agreement.  Currently, there is no Federal standard across agencies on release of proscribed information to this group.  The proposed amendment will provide standardization and consistency to the process across the Federal Government, and will enable greater efficiency in determining the release of the information as appropriate.  This proposed amendment also moves the definitions section to the beginning of the part for easier use, and adds definitions for the terms Cognizant Security Office, National Interest Determinations, and Proscribed Information, to accompany the new guidelines.  Finally, this proposed amendment makes a minor typographical change to the authority citation to make it more accurate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), is proposing to amend part 1206.  This proposed amendment to part 1206 adjusts the order and format of the definitions section for consistency with other NARA regulations, and makes minor typographical changes for clarity and consistency. We are removing individual eligibility for NHPRC grants, changing the time for posting of grant opportunity announcements from 4 to 3 months, and reflecting the new Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requirement to use Standard Form 425, Federal Financial Report, as well as the movement of certain OMB Circulars to 2 CFR.  These actions are necessary updates to our business processes and are intended to allow us greater flexibility to respond to changing needs and a simplified financial reporting form and process.]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendment will clarify the intention of the original regulatory text so it is consistent with the geo-coding software the agency uses to make the low-income credit union designation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Short-Term, Small Amount Loans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule would amend the general lending rule to permit federal credit unions (FCUs) to offer short-term, small-dollar (STS) loans as an alternative to traditional payday loans.  The rule permits FCUs to charge a higher interest rate for an STS loan than is permitted under the general lending rule, but the proposal will impose limitations on the permissible term, amount, and associated fees with an STS loan.  The proposal also contains several risk mitigation requirements FCUs must comply with to take advantage of the higher interest rate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is removing its regulation implementing the Governmentwide common rule on drug-free work place requirements for financial assistance, currently located in 45 CFR 1173, and is issuing a new regulation to adopt the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance at 2 CFR 182.  This regulatory action implements the OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate into one title of the CFR all federal regulations on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance.  These changes constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in NEH's policy or procedures for drug-free workplace.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission will consider ways to streamline and improve the review. 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 expects to issue a notice about the rule review schedule during early 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[It is the goal of NIGC to provide regulation of Indian gaming to shield it from organized crime and other corrupting influences as well as to assure that gaming is conducted fairly and honestly. (25 U.S.C. 2702). The Commission is charged with the responsibility of monitoring gaming conducted on Indian lands. (25 U.S.C. 2706(b)(1)). IGRA expressly authorizes the Commission to "promulgate such regulations and guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the provisions of the (Act)." (25 U.S.C. 2706(b)(10)).  Sections 2710(b)(2)(F) and 2710(d)(A) require tribes to have an adequate system for background investigations of primary management officials and key employees and inform the Commission of the results of those investigations. Under section 2710(c), the Commission may also object to licenses or require a tribe to suspend a license.  The Commission relies on these sections of the statute to authorize the modification of the background and licensing regulations to ensure compliance with IGRA, reduce the quantity of documents submitted to the Commission, and distinguish the requirements for temporary and permanent licenses.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[If the Commission does not modify these regulations to reduce the quantity of documents submitted under them, tribes will continue to be required to submit these documents to the Commission.    Further, to ensure compliance with IGRA, the modifications mandating notifications to the Commission regarding the results of background checks and the issuance of temporary and permanent gaming licenses must be made.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[These modifications to the background investigation and licensing regulations will reduce the cost of regulation to the Federal Government by reducing the amount of documents received from tribes that must be processed and retained.  Further, these modifications will reduce the quantity of documents that tribes are required to submit to the NIGC, which will result in a cost savings to the tribes.  There are minimal anticipated cost increases to tribal governments due to additional notifications to the NIGC.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The rapid evolution of gaming technology and regulatory structures in Indian gaming brings new risks and requires a distinction between the control standards for Class II and Class III gaming.  Periodic review and revision of existing standards are necessary to ensure that they remain relevant and continue to adequately protect tribal gaming assets and the interests of stakeholders and the gaming public.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[It is the goal of NIGC to provide regulation of Indian gaming to shield it from organized crime and other corrupting influences as well as to assure that gaming is conducted fairly and honestly.  (25 U.S.C. 2702).  Congress authorized NIGC to promulgate regulations and guidelines to implement IGRAs provisions.  25 U.S.C. 2706(b)(10).  Federal MICS are perhaps the single most important tool for ensuring IGRAs purposes are carried out.  The Commission is charged with monitoring gaming conducted on Indian lands (25 U.S.C. 2706(b)(1)), and this monitoring takes different forms depending on the class of gaming being conducted.  With regard to Class II gaming, NIGCs responsibility includes inspecting and examining the premises located on Indian lands on which Class II gaming is conducted and auditing all papers, books, and records respecting gross revenues of Class II gaming conducted on Indian lands and any other matters necessary to carry out the duties of the Commission under IGRA.  (25 U.S.C. 2706(b)(2),(4)).  Therefore, NIGC is amending its Class II MICS regulations to set standards for inspections, contents of records, etc.  With regard to Class III MICS, however, the NIGCs role is to provide guidance that tribes and states may then include in ordinances, compacts, or procedures or use as a model.  Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(3)(C)(vi), some states compact with tribes to require either the standards set forth in NIGCs Class III MICS, or others at least as stringent.  (See, for example:  Model Tribal Gaming Compact, Oklahoma, Part 5(B); Class III Gaming Compact Between the Fort Belknap Indian Community and the State of Montana, App. (A)(III), approved November 9, 2007; and Compact Between the Omaha Tribe and State of Iowa, Section 11, approved January 19, 2007.)  Moreover, several tribes have voluntarily adopted NIGCs Class III MICS into their ordinances, and thus granted NIGC authority pursuant to the enforcement provisions of 25 U.S.C. 2713.  The Commission relies on these sections to authorize promulgations of MICS to ensure integrity in tribal gaming.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[If the Commission does not periodically update the MICS, the regulations that govern tribal gaming will not address changing technology and gaming methods.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <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>Government in the Sunshine Act Regulations of the National Science Board</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections relate to the National Science Boards compliance with Government in the Sunshine Act.  In particular, current regulations require the National Science Board Office (NSBO) to maintain the General Counsels certificate, the presiding officers statement, and the transcript or recording of the closed meeting for at least two years.  The current regulation should be revised to reflect three years.  Additionally, the regulations require the NSBO to post meeting announcements on public notice boards at the National Science Foundation and make them available to journals of general scientific interest.  The current regulation should be revised to delete the words, and make them available to journals of general scientific interest (because this requirement is not required by law) and make clear that public posting will occur at the NSF website.

Need for Correction.

As published, the final regulations contain errors which may prove to be misleading and need to be clarified.]]></ABSTRACT>

NRC's current regulations do not address notification of Indian Tribes.  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 rulemaking effort has started and is no longer on hold.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance-Based Emergency Core Cooling System Acceptance Criteria [NRC-2008-0332]

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) presents a conceptual approach that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering in a rulemaking effort to revise the acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems (ECCSs) for light-water nuclear power reactors as currently required by NRC regulations that govern domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities. Revised ECCS acceptance criteria would reflect recent research findings that indicate the current criteria should be re-evaluated for all fuel cladding materials in all potential conditions. Further, the NRC is considering an approach that would expand the applicability of the rule to all current and future cladding materials, modify the reporting requirements, and address the issues raised in a petition for rulemaking (PRM) regarding crud and oxide deposits and hydrogen content in fuel cladding.  With this ANPRM, the NRC seeks comment on specific questions and issues for consideration related to this proposed conceptual approach to revising the ECCS acceptance criteria.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to put in place security requirements for the use of category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material.  The objective is to ensure that effective security measures are in place to prevent the dispersion of radioactive material for malevolent purposes.  The proposed amendment would also address background investigations and access controls, enhanced security for use, and transportation security for category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material.  This rulemaking subsumes RIN-3150-AI56, "Requirements for Fingerprinting and Criminal History Record Checks for Unescorted Access to Radioactive Material and Other Property (part 37)."]]></ABSTRACT>

This new section will add requirements for the implementation of access authorization and physical protection measures; access authorization controls; physical inspections; lockdown measures and procedures for securing the security- and safety-related structures, systems, and components; and performance of high-quality security sweeps before the plant's transition into its operational phase.  These changes would affect holders of a construction permit (CP) under 10 CFR part 50 and holders of a combined license (COL) under 10 CFR part 52 with nuclear power plants under construction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to revise the existing security requirements that apply during the storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) at an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), and during the storage of SNF and high-level waste (HLW) at a Monitored Retrievable Storage Installation (MRS).  This rule would require conforming changes to the ISFSI and MRS licensing requirements.  The specific objectives of this rule are to update the ISFSI security requirements to improve the consistency and clarification of the security requirements for both types of ISFSI licensees (i.e., general and specific); make generically applicable requirements similar to those imposed on ISFSI licensees by the post September 11, 2001, security orders; and use a risk-informed, performance-based structure in ISFSI and MRS security regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

These proposed amendments include changes that would enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the licensing process for spent nuclear fuel storage.  Specifically, they would clarify the term limits for dry storage cask Certificates of Compliance (CoCs) and independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) specific licenses.  The proposed amendments would also provide consistency between the general and specific ISFSI license requirements, and allow general licensees subject to these regulations to implement changes authorized by an amended CoC to a cask loaded under the initial CoC or an earlier amended CoC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The direct final would amend the Commission's regulations to correct technical errors associated with drug testing requirements and enhance the alignment of 10 CFR part 26 drug testing requirements with those issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  This rule would enhance consistency with advances in similar rules and guidelines, including, but not limited to HHS Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs.  This rulemaking is significant because these inaccuracies, if left uncorrected, would result in an unnecessary regulatory burden on licensees and other entities that operate licensee testing facilities.  The urgency of this rulemaking is low, an Enforcement Guidance Memorandum regarding the dispositioning of violations has been issued and few industry concerns have been identified.  The rulemaking has no impact on the public and minimal impact on the industry since the inaccurate provisions are effectively mitigated by the industry actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>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.  

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commissions regulations in part 50, appendix G to provide a risk-informed option for determining the fracture toughness requirements for ferritic materials of the pressure-retaining components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. The proposed rule would also modify those requirements for pressure-temperature limits that are related to the metal temperature of the reactor pressure vessel closure head flange and vessel flange areas.  Also, the proposed rule would amend footnotes 2 and 6 to table 1 of appendix G, and simplify restructuring of the table.  Part 50, appendix H, contains reactor vessel material surveillance program requirements to monitor changes in the fracture toughness properties of the reactor vessel beltline due to neutron irradiation.]]></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>Risk-Informed Changes to Loss-of-Coolant Accident Technical Requirements [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.  OGC reviewed the revised rule language and recommended that portions of the rule be re-notice 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 in August 2009.  The staff discussed the revised proposed rule with the ACRS on May 6-7, 2009 and then published the rule on August 10, 2009 (74 FR 40006).  On September 24, 2009, in response to a request from NEI, the NRC extended the public comment period by 120 days to close on January 22, 2010 (74 FR 48667).  The NRC evaluated the public comments and prepared draft final rule language which was posted on Regulations.gov on May 12, 2010.  A public meeting was held on June 4, 2010, to discuss resolution of public comments and the draft rule language.  The staff is now preparing the final rule.  The staff will meet with the ACRS in October 2010 and plans to provide the final rule package to the Commission in December 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Decoupling of Assumed Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP) 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 LOOP/LOCA 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 its 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."  Upon this withdrawal, the NRC staff reevaluated the rulemaking effort.  As a result of this reevaluation, the NRC staff recommended in SECY-09-0140, dated October 1, 2009, that this rulemaking effort be discontinued.  A new recommendation will be provided to the Commission in December 2012.  This rulemaking activity also considers the issues raised in a petition for rulemaking submitted by Bob Christie (PRM-50-77).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The advanced notice of proposed rulemaking would obtain public comment on a proposed approach to risk-inform the requirements for power reactors, including developing an alternate set of new risk-informed requirements.  The Commission approved the staffs recommendation to defer rulemaking for risk-informed and performance-based part 50 reactor requirements for advanced reactors until after the development of the licensing strategy for the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP), or receipt of an application for a Pebble Bed Modular Reactor design certification or combined license.  The Commission directed staff to provide a recommendation on initiating rulemaking 6 months after the development of the licensing strategy for the NGNP is finalized.  The staff informed the Commission that it will defer rulemaking until after NGNP licensing test review (approximately 2015-2017).]]></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.  Publication of the proposed rule is being delayed while the NRC considers options to remove NRC regulatory jurisdiction from this area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expansion of the National Source Tracking System [NRC-2008-0200]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commissions regulations to expand the current National Source Tracking System (NSTS) to include certain additional sealed sources at International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Category 3 threshold values. The proposed amendments would require licensees to report certain transactions involving these sealed sources to the NSTS.  These transactions would include the manufacture, transfer, receipt, disassembly, or disposal of the nationally tracked source.  The proposed amendment would also require each licensee to provide its initial inventory of nationally tracked sources to the NSTS and annually verify and reconcile the information in the system with the licensee's actual inventory.  In a Staff Requirements Memorandum dated June 30, 2009, the Commission was unable to reach a decision on the staffs recommendation to publish the final rule and, therefore, the recommendation was not approved.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would have amended the Commissions regulations to Part 50, Appendix E, Section VI, to modernize the Emergency Response Data System (ERDs) to increase its reliability and ability to provide nuclear plant information to the NRC, specifically addressing the technology used to transmit data from power reactor facility sites to the NRC and the scope and number of data points that are transmitted by power reactor facility sites.  The NRC staff subsequently determined that the rule did not need to be amended to permit the change in data transmission technology.  A voluntary program was established with industry to accomplish this goal (see Regulatory Issue Summary 2009-13).  Any changes regarding the scope and number of data points to be transmitted will be addressed in future rulemaking activities related to ERDS requirements for new reactor designs. Therefore, the NRC is no longer pursing this rulemaking and it will no longer appear in the NRCs portion of the Unified Agenda.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery for FY 2010 [NRC-2009-0333]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the Commission's licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensees and applicants for an NRC license.  The rulemaking is necessary to recover, through the assessment of fees, approximately 90 percent of the NRC's budget authority for fiscal year (FY) 2010, less the amounts appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund, amounts appropriated for Waste Incidental to Reprocessing, and amounts appropriated for generic homeland security activities, as required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90), as amended.

Based on the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 2010, the NRCs required fee recovery amount for the FY 2010 budget is approximately $912.2 million.  After accounting for billing adjustments (i.e., expected unpaid invoices, payments for prior year invoices), the total amount to be billed as fees is $911.1 million.  The OBRA-90, as amended, requires that the fees for FY 2010 be collected by September 30, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulation implementing certain provisions of Executive Order 12674 on Principles of Ethical Conduct, as modified by Executive Order 12731, and the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-194), as amended.  Effective February 3, 1993, this ethical conduct standards regulation generally superseded executive branch employee conduct and gifts rules, as well as pertinent portions of agency-specific conduct regulations issued under prior Executive Order 11222.  For certain existing agency regulatory standards setting forth financial interest prohibitions and prior approval for outside employment/activities, an extended grace period was in effect until November 1, 1996, or until individual concerned agencies issued supplemental regulations (with Office of Government Ethics concurrence), whichever occurred first.  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>

        <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 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The supplemental executive agency standards of ethical conduct regulations, once issued jointly with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) in new chapters at the end of 5 CFR, supplement for each individual agency concerned the OGE executive branch standards of ethical conduct, as codified at 5 CFR part 2635.  The supplemental regulations, as they are issued in accordance with sections 201(a) and 301(a) of Executive Order 12674, as modified by Executive Order 12731, set forth those agency-specific provisions under applicable law and regulation, such as regulatory restrictions on holding certain financial interests, designation of subunits, and prior approval for outside employment, which are needed for certain agencies to round out the executive branchwide ethical standards for their employees.  These supplementals are issued and revised on an ongoing basis when needed by agencies concerned.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Federal Financial Management (OFFM) is establishing Governmentwide guidance and standard award terms for agencies to include in financial assistance awards (namely, grants, cooperative agreements, and loans) as part of their implementation of sections 1512, 1605, and 1606 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 1115). Under the interim final guidance, agencies would use the standard award terms in their financial assistance awards to require recipients and subrecipients (first-tier that are not individuals) to maintain current registrations in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database; to require recipients to report quarterly on project or activity status, subgrant and subcontract information; to notify recipients of the domestic sourcing (Buy American) requirements that apply to certain iron, steel and manufactured goods; to notify recipients of the wage rate requirements that apply to certain projects; and to ensure proper accounting and reporting of Recovery Act expenditures in single audits.]]></ABSTRACT>

We are also proposing to add regulations to require Federal agencies to notify applicants at four points in the hiring process; to require agencies to use alternative valid assessment tools, excluding lengthy written essays or narratives of knowledge, skills, and abilities/competencies, and to require agencies to accept cover letters and résumés as the initial application for a Federal job. With these changes, OPM plans to streamline the Federal hiring process and improve an applicants experience.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection by Offset From Indebted Government Employees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed regulations to eliminate the 10-year statute of limitation on collection of debt by administrative offset, which includes centralized salary offset.  The proposed regulations conform with an amendment made by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.  This change would authorize the offset of nontax payments (via salary offset) to collect delinquent Federal debt without regard to the amount of time the debt has been delinquent.  OPM is also proposing several technical changes to be consistent with the Department of the Treasury Federal Claims Collection Standards and salary offset regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.  Since the last updates in 2000, there have been changes to both process and technology that require additional substantive revisions to part 581. 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 share the responsibility with or transfer the function of annual updates to the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Support Enforcement. The appendices will be modified to account for these changes and replaced with an annual Notice in the Federal Register and ongoing updates to a designated website. Additionally, technical revisions are required throughout part 581 to account for changes in law and policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing proposed regulations to implement amendments to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) that provide eligible Federal employees up to 12 administrative workweeks of leave without pay because of a qualifying exigency.  Qualifying exigencies arise when a covered family member is on active duty or has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty status in the Armed Forces.  Qualifying exigencies for which employees can use FMLA leave fall under eight categories:  short-notice deployment, military events and related activities, childcare and school activities, financial and legal arrangements, counseling, rest and recuperation, post-deployment activities, and additional activities not encompassed in the other categories that the agency and employee agree qualify as exigencies and agree to the timing and duration of the leave.  These regulations would help employees manage family affairs when a family member is on active duty.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing proposed regulations to implement amendments to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). These regulations implement section 585(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (NDAA) (Pub. L. 110-181, January 28, 2008) and section 565(b)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. 111-84, October 28, 2009).

The statutory changes amended the FMLA provisions in 5 U.S.C. 6381-6383 (applicable to Federal employees) to provide that a Federal employee who is the spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of a covered servicemember (either a current or former servicemember) with a serious injury or illness incurred or aggravated in the line of duty on active duty is entitled to a total of 26 administrative workweeks of leave during a single 12-month period to care for the covered servicemember.  

Proposed regulations were originally published under RIN 3206-AL91 at 74 FR 43064 on August 26, 2009.  The FMLA portion of those original proposed regulations have been split and will now be republished under this RIN, 3206-AM12.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of National Security Positions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing to revise its regulation regarding designation of national security positions.  This proposed rule is one of a number of initiatives OPM has undertaken to simplify and streamline the system of Federal Government investigative and adjudicative processes to make them more efficient and as equitable as possible.  The purpose of this revision is to clarify the requirements and procedures agencies should observe when designating national security positions as required under Executive Order 10450, Security Requirements for Government Employment.  The proposed regulations maintain the current standard which defines a national security position as any position in a department or agency, the occupant of which could bring about, by virtue of the nature of the position, a material adverse effect on the national security.  The purpose of the revisions is to clarify the categories of positions which, by virtue of the nature of their duties, have the potential to bring about a material adverse impact on the national security, whether or not the positions require access to classified information.

Another purpose of the amendments is to acknowledge, for greater clarity, complementary requirements set forth in part 731, Suitability, so that every position is properly designated with regard to both public trust risk and national security sensitivity considerations, both of which are necessary for determining appropriate investigative requirements.  Finally, the proposed rule clarifies when reinvestigation of individuals in national security positions is required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Treasury, SSA, VA, RRB and OPM are publishing for comment a proposed rule to implement statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments.  The proposed rule would establish procedures that financial institutions must follow when a garnishment order is received for an account into which Federal benefit payments have been directly deposited.  The proposed rule would require financial institutions that receive a garnishment order for an account to determine whether any Federal benefit payments were deposited to the account within 60 calendar days prior to receipt of the order and, if so, would require the financial institution to ensure that the account holder has access to an amount equal to the sum of such payments in the account.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Presumption of Insurable Interest for Domestic Partners and Parties to a Civil Union
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to amend parts 831 and 842 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, to include domestic partners and parties to a civil union to the class of persons for which an insurable interest is presumed to exist. This regulatory change is needed to create greater equality in the Federal workforce. Extending available benefits will help the Federal Government compete with the private sector to recruit and retain the best and the brightest employees.  The proposed rule, therefore, is designed to provide Federal employees with more comprehensive retirement options that keep pace with leading companies in the private sector.  Additionally, OPM is taking this step to recognize that individuals in domestic partnerships and civil unions have the same insurable interests in the continued life of employees or Members as the classes of persons listed in the existing rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final rule to define Tulsa County, Oklahoma, as an area of application to the Oklahoma, OK, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area and Angelina County, Texas, as an area of application to the Dallas, TX, NAF FWS wage area.  These changes are necessary because there are NAF FWS employees working in Tulsa and Angelina Counties and the counties are not currently defined to NAF wage areas.  In addition, this final rule corrects appendix B to subpart B of part 532Nationwide Schedule of Nonappropriated Fund Regular Wage Schedules by removing, under the State of California, Santa Clara, which was abolished as a NAF FWS wage area by a final rule (75 FR 9951) published on March 9, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sunday Premium Pay for Part-Time Employees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to implement Fathauer v. United States, 566 F.3d 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2009).  The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that part-time employees are covered under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5546(a), the statute governing the payment of Sunday premium pay, for work performed on Sundays.  The Sunday premium pay final regulations eliminate references to full-time employees, which will permit Sunday premium payments to part-time employees, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5546(a).  Prevailing rate employees are entitled to payment of Sunday premium pay, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5544(a).  Consistent with the reasoning in Fathauer, OPM has determined that part-time prevailing rate employees are covered under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5544(a).]]></ABSTRACT>

Since the NDAA made no changes to the sick leave portion of the regulations, we will be issuing as final the sick leave portions of this package.  (We will issue a new proposed regulation implementing the statutory changes to the FMLA program at a later time.)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Internal Revenue Service Broadbanding Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to revise the criteria for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) broadbanding systems.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued final regulations to assist the Department of Defense in merging McGuire Air Force Base and Fort Dix, NJ, in the Philadelphia locality pay area with the Lakehurst Naval Station, NJ, in the New York locality pay area.  As a joint base, the facility met the criteria for the entire joint base to be included in the New York locality pay area.  The regulation was necessary to effect the change in locality pay area boundaries and avoid recruitment/retention/pay administration problems that would result if different pay rates applied within the single installation.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final rule to correct several minor formatting, spelling, and typographical errors in Appendix D to Subpart B of Part 532--Nonappropriated Fund (NAF) Wage and Survey Areas.  This document also corrects editorial or printing errors, inconsistencies, and omissions made in previously published rules.  The purpose of this rule is not to make policy changes but rather to ensure Appendix D accurately reflects the correct wage area definitions for NAF employees.  Federal Wage System (FWS) NAF employees will not be affected by the corrections in this final rule because the lead agency for FWS NAF surveys has followed Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC) recommended wage area definitions when conducting wage surveys and publishing wage schedules.  Appendix D is being reprinted in its entirety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nonforeign Area Cost-Of-Living Allowances; Hawaii and Guam</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 were the result of adjustments OPM calculated in 2008 based on relative Consumer Price Index differences.  The proposed regulations would have reduced the COLA rates for the Pacific areas and Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, Alaska, by 1 percentage point. Because the Nonforeign Area Retirement Equity Assurance Act passed and was signed into law in October 2009 thereby freezing COLA rates then in effect, OPM will withdraw the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Absence and Leave; Sick Leave</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued final regulations to modify definitions related to family member and immediate relative for purposes of use of sick leave, funeral leave, voluntary leave transfer, voluntary leave bank, and emergency leave transfer.  These changes implement Section 1 of President Obamas June 17, 2009, Memorandum on Federal Benefits and Non-Discrimination and ensure that agencies are considering the needs of a widely diverse workforce and providing the broadest support possible to employees to help them balance their increasing work, personal, and family obligations.  As part of OPMs continued efforts to support the needs of the Federal workforce during times of sickness, funerals, and medical or other emergencies, we have made the definitions of family member and immediate relative more explicit to include more examples of relationships that are covered under the phrase [a]ny individual related by blood or affinity whose close association with the employee is the equivalent of a family relationship.  These examples include step-parents and step-children, grandparents, grandchildren, and same-sex and opposite-sex domestic partners.  By making these definitions more explicit, we ensure more consistent application of policy across the Federal Government and set an example of the Federal Government as a model employer of a diverse workforce.]]></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>

        <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[Pursuant to section 3652(e) of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) of 2006, the Commission has completed a comprehensive rulemaking addressing service measure performance and customer satisfaction reporting on the part of the United States Postal Service (Postal Service).  These regulations allow the Postal Service to request that a product or component of a product be excluded from service performance measurement reporting if certain conditions (set out in the regulations) are met.  The Commission has established rulemaking to address the Postal Service's formal mail request for semi-permanent exceptions for service performance measurement of Standard Mail High Density, Saturation, and Ca Route Parcels, Inbound International Surface Parcel Post (at Universal Postal Union Rates), hard-copy Address Correction Service, various Special Services, within County Periodicals, and various negotiated service agreements.

This rulemaking will assess the need to balance the responsibilities of the Commission and the Postal Service under the PAEA with time and resource constraints, and thereby, advance an efficient implementation of the 2006 law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Division is considering recommending that the Commission publish for comment amendments to Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act, which provides an exemption from the prohibition of performance fees in Section 205 of the Act for advisory contracts with reference to dollar amounts.  The amendments would adjust the dollar amount tests used in the rule for the effects of inflation.  The amendments also would revise the rule to grandfather certain advisory contracts entered into before July 21, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Division is considering recommending that the Commission propose amendments to update rule requirements and replace the temporary rules.]]></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>Amendments to Regulation M:  Anti-Manipulation Rules Concerning Securities Offerings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed amendments to Regulation M under an earlier RIN 3235-AF54, in order to prohibit certain activities by underwriters and other distribution participants that can undermine the integrity and fairness of the offering process, particularly with respect to allocation of offered securities.  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>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Exemptions for Eligible Credit Default Swaps To Facilitate Operation of Central Counterparties To Clear and Settle Credit Default Swaps</RULE_TITLE>
        <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), 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>References to Ratings of Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed to amend five rules under the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act that rely on NRSRO ratings.  The proposed amendments are designed to address concerns that the reference to NRSRO ratings in Commission rules may have contributed to an undue reliance on NRSRO ratings by market participants.  

The Commission adopted certain proposed amendments to Rules 5b-3 and 10f-3 under the Investment Company Act, and re-opened the comment period to request additional comment on the proposed amendments to Rules 3a-7 and 5b-3 under the Investment Company Act and Rule 206(3)-3T under the Investment Advisers Act.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was enacted on July 21, 2010. The Division is considering the next steps to recommend to the Commission in light of the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>References to Ratings of Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed to amend various rules and forms under the Exchange Act that rely on NRSRO ratings.  The proposed amendments are designed to address concerns that the reference to NRSRO ratings in Commission rules and forms may have contributed to an undue reliance on NRSRO ratings by market participants.

The Commission adopted certain of the proposals and reopened the comment period as to others.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was enacted on July 21, 2010. The Division is considering the next steps to recommend to the Commission in light of the Act.]]></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 and December 2006, the Commission requested additional comment regarding the fund governance provisions.  The Commission staff is reviewing the comments and determining what action to recommend to the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed new Rule 15c2-2 under the Exchange Act, together with accompanying Schedule 15C.  The Commission also proposed related amendments to Rule 10b-10.  Proposed Rule 15c2-2 and Schedule 15C would provide for improved confirmation disclosure of distribution costs and conflicts of interest associated with transactions in mutual funds, municipal fund securities, and unit investment trusts.  The amendments to Rule 10b-10 in part would reflect the new rule and would provide improved confirmation disclosure about certain callable securities.  They also would clarify that the confirmation disclosure requirements do not determine broker-dealer disclosure obligations under other provisions of the law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule 15c-100:  Schedule 15C</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed new Schedule 15C and Rules 15c2-2 and 15c2-3 under the Exchange Act, together with accompanying Schedule 15D.  The Commission also proposed related amendments to Rule 10b-10. Proposed Rules 15c2-2 and 15c2-3 and Schedules 15C and 15D would provide for improved confirmation and pre-transaction "point of sale" disclosure of distribution costs and conflicts of interest associated with transactions in mutual funds, municipal fund securities, and unit investment trusts.  The amendments to Rule 10b-10 in part would reflect the new rules and would provide improved confirmation disclosure about certain callable securities.  They also would clarify that the confirmation disclosure requirements do not determine broker-dealer disclosure obligations under other provisions of the law.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 8, 2009, the Commission issued a release adopting Rule 151A under the Securities Act.  Rule 151A defines the terms annuity contract and optional annuity contract under the Securities Act.  The rule was 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.  On July 12, 2010, a Federal appeals court issued an order vacating rule 151A. The Commission issued a release withdrawing Rule 151A.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA plans to issue regulations for the SBA Express loan program codified in section 7(a)(31) of the Small Business Act.  The SBA Express loan program reduces the number of Government mandated forms and procedures, streamlines the processing and reduces the cost of smaller, less complex SBA loans.  Particular features of the SBA Express loan program include: (1) SBA Express loans carry a maximum SBA guaranty of 50 percent; (2) a response to an SBA Express loan application will be given within 36 hours; (3) lenders and borrowers can negotiate the interest rate, which may not exceed SBA maximums; and (4) qualified lenders may be granted authorization to make eligibility determinations. SBA also plans to issue regulations  for the Export Express Program codified at 7(a)(35) of the Small Business Act.  The Export Express Program, made permanent by the Small  Business Jobs Act, makes guaranteed financing available for export development activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this proposed rule, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will set forth the new defined terms, "Energy Saving Qualified Investment" and "Energy Saving Activities", for the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) Program.  The new definitions are being established to facilitate implementation of a provision of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (Energy Act), which allows an SBIC making an "energy saving qualified investment" to obtain SBA leverage by issuing a deferred interest "energy saving debenture."

This rule would also implement a provision of the Energy Act that provides access to additional SBA leverage for SBICs that have made Energy Saving Qualified Investments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA currently offers either a fixed or variable interest rate for 7(a) loans.  In addition to these rates, the Agency is working to develop a shorter term fixed interest rate with the ability to be re-set at periodic intervals.  This type of rate is currently available in the commercial market place and will help provide additional options for small business borrowers.  By authorizing this option, SBA is recognizing a need to allow lenders to utilize market opportunities.  For example, SBA recently revised its rules to allow the use of LIBOR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) proposes to modify small business size standards for industries in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 54, Professional, Scientific and Technical Services.  As part of its ongoing initiative to review all size standards, SBA will evaluate each industry in Sector 54 to determine whether the existing size standards should be retained or revised.  This is one of a series of proposed rules that will examine industries grouped by an NAICS Sector.  SBA has applied its "Size Standards Methodology," which is available on its Web site at http://www.sba.gov/size, to this proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Size Standards: Transportation and Warehousing Industries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) proposes to modify small business size standards for industries in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 48-49, Transportation and Warehousing Industries.  As part of its ongoing initiative to review all size standards, SBA will evaluate each industry in Sector 48-49 to determine whether the existing size standards should be retained or revised.  This is one of a series of proposed rules that will examine industries grouped by an NAICS Sector.  SBA has applied its "Size Standards Methodology," which is available on its Web site at http://www.sba.gov/size, to this proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

These regulations will apply to small businesses, including those small businesses eligible for SBAs socio-economic programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration is proposing regulations that will set forth a government-wide policy on bundling, which will address teams and joint ventures of small businesses and the requirement that each federal agency must publish on its website the rationale for any bundled contract.  In addition, the proposed regulations will address contract consolidation and the limitations on the use of such consolidation in Federal procurement to include ensuring that the head of a Federal agency may not carry out a consolidated contract over $2 million unless the Senior Procurement Executive or Chief Acquisition Officer ensures that market research has been conducted and determines that the consolidation is necessary and justified.    Further, the proposed regulations will address two new pilot programs:  the three year pilot program called the Electronic Procurement Center Representative (ePCR) Program and the Small Business Teaming Pilot Program for teaming and joint ventures involving small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

Finally, the proposed regulation may also address the statutory requirement that a prime contractor must notify the contracting officer in writing if it has paid a reduced price to a subcontractor for goods and services or if the payment to the subcontractor is more than 90 days past due.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 conforms SBA rules for 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>Small Business Size Regulations; (8)a Business Development/Small Disadvantaged Business Status Determination</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to make a number of changes to the regulations governing the 8(a) Business Development (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, implements statutory changes that impact Native Hawaiian Organizations.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Sections 8(a) and 7(j) of the Small Business Act authorize the SBA to administer the 8(a) BD program and assist eligible small disadvantaged business concerns compete in the American economy through business development.  The 8(a) BD program provides procurement, financial, management and technical assistance to foster the business growth and development of 8(a) BD program participants.  The proposed regulatory action is necessary to implement changes to the regulations governing the 8(a) BD program, the Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) programs, and to the SBA size regulations.  The changes are proposed as a result of the continuing need to ensure that SBA is effectively delivering the 8(a) BD program in accordance with the Small Business Act.  In addition, the regulatory action is needed to enable SBA to institute the proper internal controls that will ensure effective monitoring and oversight of the 8(a) BD Program.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule proposes to make some changes that involve technical issues, correct some rules governing the 8(a) BD program that are too restrictive, and others that require clarification.  The rule change will address new situations that have arisen that were not anticipated when the current rules were drafted.  Finally, there is one change that implements a statutory change.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[SBA will analyze and consider the impact of any comments received from the public as a result of the proposed regulations being published in the Federal Register.  Where relevant and appropriate, the regulations will be revised to incorporate these comments.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[It is difficult to estimate the costs and benefits to the various classes of firms affected by this rule as it is impossible to foresee which future contracts above the competitive thresholds would be awarded based on the various options available to contracting officers.  SBA believes that the benefits of the proposed rule exceed its costs and exceed the benefits of continuing the status quo.  SBA believes that increased clarity and easing of restrictions in the overall proposed changes set forth in this rule are beneficial to 8(a) applicants and Participants.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Because the 8(a) Program is a business development program--not a contracting program--it is intended to foster the 8(a) firms growth (through various forms of technical, management, procurement and financial assistance) and viability during the Participants 9-year term.

The regulatory action is intended to mitigate any risks associated with program procedures and internal controls by ensuring clear and concise regulations.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would clarify the circumstances under which a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) 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 need for a conflict of interest exemption for a second round of financing if the SBIC and its affiliate are continuing to invest with the same terms conditions and the same proportions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA is proposing to standardize protest and appeal regulations across all small business programs and to clarify the effect of a negative determination on the procurement in question.  The 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 SBA's Office of Hearings and Appeals.]]></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 issued 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 permanently added an additional base rate of LIBOR for lenders to use when pricing 7(a) loans, and allows 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements section 503 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), which establishes a secondary market for the first mortgage loan that is a component of a financing made under the 504 program.  The 504 program provides long-term, fixed rate financing to small businesses for expansion or modernization, primarily of real estate (including land and new building construction, existing building purchases or renovation, and machinery and equipment). Financing is delivered through Certified Development Companies (CDCs), which are private primarily nonprofit entities established pursuant to the 504 program to contribute to the economic development of their communities.  The Recovery Act authorizes SBA to establish a program to approve an entity to apply for SBAs guarantee of pools comprised of portions of these first mortgage loans which back certificates to be sold to investors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements section 504 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), which authorizes projects approved for financing under title V of the Small Business Investment Act to include a limited amount of debt refinancing if the project involves the expansion of a small business concern and meets certain other conditions.  This interim final rule broadly defines the phrase ``project involves expansion of a small business concern'' to include any project that involves the acquisition, construction or improvement of land, building or equipment for use by the small business concern. The Small Business Investment Act also sets forth certain conditions that a project must meet in order to be eligible for debt refinancing, and these conditions are included in this interim final rule with some additional definitions.  This interim final rule makes the existing 504 Loan Program rules consistent with section 504 of the Recovery Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements section 506 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which authorizes SBA to establish a temporary program to guarantee loans to viable small business concerns that have a qualifying small business loan, and are experiencing immediate financial hardship.  Loans made under this program, referred to as "Americas Recovery Capital Loan Program" (SBA's ARC Loan Program) can be used to make principal and interest payments on existing qualifying small business loans.  In order to implement this change, SBA has amended the business loan regulations in 13 CFR part 120 to add the requirements which must be met by lenders and borrowers participating in the ARC Loan Program. The requirements for the ARC Loan Program have been promulgated under new section  120.398.  Some of the requirements include how the borrower may use the proceeds of an ARC Loan, the terms of an ARC Loan, and that ARC Loan recipients must submit a statement of financial hardship with supporting documentation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: Surety Bond Guarantees; Size Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implemented provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that pertain to the Surety Bond Guaranty (SBG) Program.  Until September 30, 2010, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is authorized to guarantee bonds on contracts of up to $5 million (or up to $10 million based on the certification of a Federal contracting officer).  SBA is further authorized, until September 30, 2010, to partially deny liability under its bond guarantee, but cannot deny liability in whole or even in part on the basis of material facts disclosed to SBA in a guarantee application submitted under the Prior Approval Program.  In addition to implementing these authorities, this rule also revised the size standard for participation in the SBG Program, and makes several changes primarily for clarification purposes.  Under the SBG program SBA guarantees bid, payment and performance bonds for small contractors who cannot obtain bonds through regular commercial channels. SBA's guarantee gives Surety Companies an incentive to provide bonding for small businesses, and thereby assists small businesses in gaining greater access to contracting opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements certain provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act).  This interim final rule implements section 509 of the Recovery Act, which establishes the Secondary Market Lending Authority within SBA to make loans to systemically important SBA Secondary Market broker-dealers to finance the purchase of the Government guaranteed portion of loans originated, underwritten and closed under the Small Business Act and the purchase of pools of guaranteed portions of such loans.  Recipients of these direct loans must use the proceeds to purchase guaranteed portions of 7(a) loans from participating lenders, Guaranteed Interest Certificates from Registered Holders and Guaranteed Pool Certificates from Registered Holders. The cost of the loan charged to systemically important secondary market broker-dealers is the combination of the interest rate referenced in 13 CFR 120.1830(e), a fee estimate to cover the probability of default, and the ongoing fee as defined in 13 CFR 120.1830(i).]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule temporarily establishes the same alternative small business size standard that applies to SBA's Certified Development Company (CDC) Program.

This temporary size standard is available from the Effective Date of this rule though the end of Federal Fiscal Year 2010, September 30, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture manages the National Forest System, and may permit the harvesting of timber on National Forest System lands in exchange for the payment of an agreed upon sum of money.  Under regulations issued by the Forest Service, these timber sales contracts may require the purchaser to furnish a performance bond for satisfactory compliance with its terms.  The Small Business Administration (SBA) proposes to amend its Surety Bond Guarantee Program rules to guarantee performance bonds for timber sales contracts awarded by the Federal Government, individual Sates or local government, or other public or commercial entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

The ILPP will help to fill these credit gaps  by providing very low interest loans to selected intermediaries.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Small Business Administration (SBA) is modifying 47 small business size standards for industries in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 44 45, Retail Trade, and retaining the current standards for the remaining industries in the Sector.  In this final rule, SBA is increasing 46 of the size standards and converting the measure of size for one industry (NAICS 441110, New Car Dealers) from annual receipts to number of employees.  As part of its ongoing initiative to review all size standards, SBA has evaluated every industry in NAICS Sector 44 45 to determine whether the existing size standards should be retained or revised.  This rule also modifies SBAs Small Business Size Regulations to clarify that an NAICS code that represents a Wholesale Trade (NAICS Sector 42) or Retail Trade (NAICS Sector 44 45) Industry shall not be used for the Federal governments procurement of supplies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA is amending its disaster assistance regulations to reflect statutory changes to the disaster assistance program contained in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the Farm Act).  The Farm Act amended the Small Business Act and authorized changes to make the disaster assistance program more accessible to disaster victims by raising the statutory loan limit for loans to businesses, increasing the collateral threshold, and amending the basis for calculation of eligibility for post-disaster mitigation funds.  The legislation also amended the statutory definition of disaster to include ice storms and blizzards, deferred the additional payment on net earnings for certain business loans for five years, and extended the eligibility for economic injury disaster loan assistance to non-profit organizations.  Finally, the legislation amended the date for determining the applicant's status as a major source of employment for Military Reserve Economic Injury Disaster Loan applicants.  Except for several technical edits, this direct final rule conforms the regulations to the Farm Act by adopting the new statutory requirements without change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule will establish regulations to implement the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract Assistance Program, authorized under section 8(m) of the Small Business Act. Section 8(m) was enacted as part of Public Law 106-554 to provide a targeted procurement mechanism to assist Federal agencies in achieving the statutory goal of 5 percent for contracting with WOSBs. In accordance with section 8(m), the new regulations would authorize contracting officers to restrict competition to eligible WOSBs for certain Federal contracts in industries in which SBA has determined that WOSBs are underrepresented or substantially underrepresented in Federal procurement. Also consistent with section 8(m), the authority to restrict competition would be limited to contracts not exceeding $3 million, or $5 million in the case of manufacturing contracts.  In implementing section 8(m) the proposed regulations would further provide: the eligible industries in which WOSBs are underrepresented or substantially underrepresented; the specific eligibility requirements for WOSBs to qualify for program participation; the procedures for concerns to certify their eligibility; the process for SBA to verify the continuing WOSB eligibility; the contractual and business development assistance available under the program; the relevant protest and appeal procedures; and the applicable penalties.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA or Agency) proposes to amend its regulations governing appeals before the SBA's Office of Hearing and Appeals (OHA).  OHA is SBA's administrative tribunal, and these regulations are procedural by nature.  The proposed revisions would codify current practices to make them more transparent, and would clarify some existing rules to make them more understandable to OHA's many pro se litigants.  Some of these proposed revisions would change existing procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act (SSIPIA) established the Social Security Administration as an independent agency, effective March 31, 1995.  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 running one of the Nation's largest entitlement programs--the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program--and the Supplemental Security Income program, continue to apply to us 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 our rules becoming final, HHS regulations will cease to apply to us.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revising Aspects of SSA&apos;s Vocational Rehabilitation Program (929P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our regulations to remove obsolete provisions in 20 CFR part 404 and 20 CFR part 416 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 Act), eliminated the provisions of the Social Security Act that required that beneficiaries receiving disability or blindness benefits be referred to State VR agencies for appropriate services.  The Ticket Act also provides these beneficiaries with expanded options for access to employment, VR, and other support services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our regulations to reflect sections 205 and 206 of Public Law 106-169, the Foster Care Independence Act of 1999.  Section 205 generally provides for counting certain trusts as resources in the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.  Section 206 mandates a period of ineligibility for SSI benefits when resources are transferred for less than fair market value.]]></ABSTRACT>

The changes will clarify certain aspects of social security coverage (coverage) for individuals employed outside the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to modify the requirement to first recontact your medical source(s) when we need to resolve an inconsistency or insufficiency in the evidence he or she provided.  Depending on the nature of the inconsistency or insufficiency, there may be other, more appropriate sources from whom we could obtain the information we need.  By giving adjudicators more flexibility in determining how best to obtain this information, we will be able to make a determination or decision on your disability claim more quickly and efficiently in certain situations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our rules on processing employers' annual wage reports by including electronic filing and removing magnetic media as a means of wage reporting.  We also propose to revise our rules to provide that if 95 percent or more of an employer's electronic wage reports have no Social Security numbers (SSNs) or incorrect employee names or SSNs, the employer must correct and resubmit the reports.  Our current rules contain a 90 percent threshold requirement.  Finally, we propose to replace outdated references and instructions to reflect current reporting requirements.  These proposed changes would update our regulations to reflect our current operating practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to modify, on a temporary basis, the prehearing procedures we follow in claims for Social Security disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income payments based on disability or blindness under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act.  This proposed rule would authorize Federal disability examiners to issue fully favorable decisions without review by an attorney advisor or administrative law judge (ALJ) and would expedite the processing of cases at the hearing level without infringing on the right to a hearing before an ALJ.  This temporary modification would remain in effect for a period not to exceed 5 years, unless we terminate or extend it by publication of a final rule in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our Tax Refund Offset (TRO) and Administrative Offset regulations.  We are conforming our regulations to those of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) for the following reasons:  1) Treasury removed the 10-year limitation to collect delinquent debts owed the United States by reducing eligible Federal payments, and 2) more States are participating in reciprocal agreements with Treasury to offset State payments, including tax refunds to reduce or extinguish a federally owed debt.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exclusion of Real Property From Resources Considered When Calculating SSI Benefits (3623P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to modify our regulations to exclude real property from those resources considered when determining Supplemental Security Income (SSI) eligibility when the claimant or recipient intends to use the real property as a future principal place of residence. This notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) will expand our definition of the home to include real property which an SSI claimant or recipient intends to use as a principal place of residence following  repairs or renovations necessary to make  it habitable or equipped for an aged, blind, or disabled person. This exclusion would require a stipulation that the real property become the claimant or recipients principal place of residence within 9 months. If the claimant or recipient also has a current ownership interest in a principal place of residence, we propose to exclude such real property under our resource disposition rules and exclude the future home under the expanded definition of the home. These changes will prevent the loss of benefits for claimants and recipients while making necessary repairs or renovations to a future principal place of residence.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[We are revising the listings for endocrine disorders because, since we last published final rules making comprehensive revisions to the endocrine listings in 1985, medical science has made significant advances in detecting endocrine disorders at earlier stages, and new treatments have resulted in better management of these conditions.  Consequently, most endocrine disorders do not reach listing-level severity because they do not become sufficiently severe or do not remain at a sufficient level of severity long enough to meet our 12-month duration requirement.  For persons whose endocrine disorders are not controlled, we make individualized determinations about disability.  We have determined that, with the exception of children under age 6 who have diabetes mellitus (DM) and require daily insulin, we should no longer have listings in section 9.00 and 109.00 based on endocrine disorders alone.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <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 (SSI) 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 certain past-due SSI benefits be paid in installments.  

In addition, these final rules reflect conforming provisions to section 302 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004, effective May 2005, which provides for the direct payment of representative fees by us 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 changed 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 prior semi-skilled or skilled work that does not provide transferable skills to other semi-skilled or skilled work within a claimant's residual functional capacity (RFC), we will treat past work experience as if it were unskilled.

If a claimant had prior semi-skilled or skilled work that does not provide transferable skills to other semi-skilled or skilled work within his or her RFC, we will treat the past work experience as if it were unskilled.

This rule will also clarify which medical/vocational rules apply to individuals who are illiterate or unable to communicate in English.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>60-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 revised the procedures for how claimants who request hearings before administrative law judges (ALJs) may seek further review of their fully favorable revised determinations based on prehearing case reviews or fully favorable attorney advisor decisions.  We will notify claimants who receive partially favorable determinations based on prehearing case reviews that an ALJ will still hold a hearing unless all parties to the hearing tell us in writing that we should dismiss the hearing requests.  These changes will simplify the process and free up scarce administrative resources that we can better use to reduce the hearings level case backlog.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This subpart relates to section 1860D-13(a) of the Social Security Act (the Act), as added by section 3308 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111148). Section 3308(a) establishes an income-related monthly adjustment (IRMAA) to the Medicare Part D premium.  Beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Part D who have modified adjusted gross income over a threshold amount established in the statute will pay an IRMAA in addition to the Medicare Part D standard monthly premium and any applicable premium increases as described in 42 CFR 423.286. The regulations in this subpart explain how we decide whether you are required to pay an IRMAA, and if you are, the amount of your adjustment.]]></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 requirement is an 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>

        <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 that these rules will make the hearings process more efficient and help us to 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nonpayment of Benefits to Fugitive Felons and Probation or Parole Violators (2222F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To implement section 203 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004, we will revise our regulations on the payment of benefits under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act.  Section 203 requires that title II benefits will not be paid to a person who is a fugitive felon or probation or parole violator, unless good cause is shown.  Section 203 also adds a good cause exception to the title XVI fugitive felon ineligibility provision.  In addition, we will make other changes required by this legislation, such as removing the reference to high misdemeanors in the state of New Jersey.  Finally, we will clarify our interpretation of the statutory language.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will revise our rules on representation of parties in parts 404, 408, 416, and 422 to reflect changes in the way claimants obtain representation and in representatives' business practices.  These new rules will improve our efficiency by increasing the use of electronic services.  These rules will:

--  Recognize entities as representatives;
--  Mandate the use of Form SSA-1696 during the appointment process;
--  Mandate the use of Form SSA-1696 to waive a fee or to waive direct payment of a fee;
--  Require certain representatives to use our electronic services as they become available, including Internet Appeals;
--  Require certain representatives to keep paper copies of certain documents that we may require;
--  Require representatives and certain individuals to register with us and to provide attestations;
--  Add new affirmative duties and prohibited actions for representatives;
--  Add new definitions or revise existing definitions; and
--  Change references in the representative sanctions rules to reflect a recent delegation of authority and recent agency reorganization.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Garnishment of Accounts Containing Federal Benefit Payments </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Treasury, SSA, VA, RRB and OPM (Agencies) are publishing for comment a proposed rule to implement statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments.  The proposed rule would establish procedures that financial institutions must follow when a garnishment order is received for an account into which Federal benefit payments have been directly deposited.  The proposed rule would require financial institutions that receive a garnishment order for an account to determine whether a Federal benefit payment was deposited to the account within 45 calendar days prior to receipt of the order and, if so, would require the financial institution to ensure that the account holder has access to a designated protected amount of funds in the account.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our regulations to reflect changes made in the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996 (CAAA) to the entitlement and termination requirements for Social Security child's benefits to stepchildren. Under the CAAA, we consider a stepchild as dependent on a stepparent to receive child's benefits based on the stepparent's earnings only if the stepchild receives at least one-half support from the stepparent.  Also, we terminate a stepchilds benefits that are based on the stepparents earnings if the stepchilds parent or adoptive parent and the stepparent divorce, unless the stepparent adopted the stepchild and the stepchild can qualify for benefits as the stepparents adopted child.]]></ABSTRACT>

We revised 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>Setting the Time and Place for a Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (3481F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We amended our rules to clarify that the agency is responsible for setting the time and place for a hearing before an administrative law judge.  This change ensures greater flexibility in scheduling both in-person and video-teleconference hearings, increases efficiency in the hearing process, and reduces the number of pending hearings.  The number of cases awaiting a hearing reached historic proportions and greater efficiency was critical to addressing this problem.]]></ABSTRACT>

The HEART Act changes the way we treat certain cash payments to members of the uniformed services and veterans, and the way we treat cash and in-kind payments to AmeriCorps volunteers.  In addition, we are making a technical change to section 416.1110(c) of our rules to reflect the correction section of the Internal Revenue Code.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>SSA Implementation of OMB Guidance for Drug-Free Workplace Requirements (3580F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Social Security Administration (SSA) removed its regulation implementing the Governmentwide common rule on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance, currently located within title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), chapter III, part 439, and issued a new regulation to adopt the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance at 2 CFR part 182.  This regulatory action implemented OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate into one title of the CFR all federal regulations on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance.  These changes constitute an administrative simplification that make no substantive change in SSA's policy or procedures for drug-free workplace.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We revised the threshold billing amount that triggers annual onsite reviews of medical providers who conduct consultative examinations (CEs) for our disability programs under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act.  The revision raises the threshold amount to reflect the increase in billing amounts since we first established the threshold amount in 1991.  This revision restores the level of oversight our rules originally required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board proposes to amend its rules with respect to Waybill Sample information railroads are required to submit to the Board pursuant to 49 CFR 1244.  Currently railroads that are required to file Waybill Sample information report a random sample of as little as 1 percent of carloads on a Waybill.  The proposed amendment would expand the carload Waybill Sample information submitted to include all traffic movements designated as a TIH (Toxic Inhalation Hazard).  The revised reporting would commence with the January 2011 Waybill Sample collection.]]></ABSTRACT>
